I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

early morning.

As soon as the sun rose, Jiang Zuo dragged his tired body and left the empress's bedroom.

Ever since coming to the capital and seeing the empress, Jiang Zuo's health has been getting worse day by day.

After returning to the mansion, Jiang Zuo slept for another half an hour before being woken up by Master Guo.

"Sir, this is this month's financial report. If it's okay, we can already open another store."

Master Guo said.

At the beginning of every month, Master Guo would report all this to Jiang Zuo.

But at this moment, Jiang Zuo looked sleepy and did not hear clearly what Master Guo said. He stretched and yawned.

"Why do you look so weak again, sir?" Master Guo asked curiously.

Whenever Jiang Zuo did not return home all night, he would feel exhausted the next morning.

"nothing."

Jiang Zuo waved his hand.

How could he not be weak after being "exploited" like this by the empress?

If this continues, Jiang Zuo will probably become thinner and thinner, so he needs to supplement his nutrition.

"Did Lord Jiang spend the whole day dealing with memorials for the Emperor? Did he stay up all night?" asked Master Guo.

Jiang Zuo nodded silently without saying anything.

Master Guo patted his thigh and said, "I really didn't expect that Miss Chen is actually the emperor. Alas, Master Jiang is so lucky."

"Yes, I am so blessed." Jiang Zuo sat down slowly and rubbed his dark circles.

"I said a few bad words in front of the emperor before. I hope you can say a few good words to me in front of the emperor. I hope the emperor will not misunderstand me." said Master Guo.

Jiang Zuo closed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, the emperor won't mind this."

Master Guo smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right. After all, the relationship between Lord Jiang and the Emperor..."

The fact that Miss Chen was the empress was the most shocking thing Master Guo had ever seen in his life.

Jiang Zuo continued to close his eyes and rest, yawned and said: "I'm surprised, do you know how I have been through these days?"

"Could it be that Your Excellency didn't know this before?" Master Guo asked curiously.

"What do you think?" Jiang Zuo asked back.

Master Guo said, "No wonder I felt something strange before. Perhaps the Emperor has already set his sights on you. No, forget it. I won't talk about it behind your back..."

Of course, Master Guo had heard of the Empress's reputation.

Everyone in the State of Yan knew that the empress was bloodthirsty by nature. The rumors about her seizing power had already spread throughout the north and south.

But Master Guo could never imagine that the beautiful Miss Chen would be the empress of the current dynasty.

Jiang Zuo also thought about these things when he first arrived in the capital.

But now Jiang Zuo has absolutely no time to think about these things.

Jiang Zuo didn’t know whether he had to go to the palace again today. When he thought about it, he felt a pain in his back and waist.

During the first few days after arriving in the capital, Jiang Zuo was still quite enthusiastic, but after two months, he had become much more haggard.

"Life in the capital city is truly a mixture of pain and happiness," Jiang Zuo couldn't help but think.

Whenever I feel tired, I think of the perfect empress...

"What are your plans for today, sir?" asked Master Guo.

Jiang Zuo shook his head and said, "Wait for His Majesty's orders."

Now he only hopes that the empress can give him a day off.

"Where is Qin Yu?"

Jiang Zuo asked, remembering the Empress's instructions.

Some things may still require Qin Yu's help.

In this regard, Jiang Zuo didn't want to treat Qin Yu as a tool, as he would inevitably owe Qin Yu a favor.

Master Guo said, "Miss Qin left early in the morning. I don't know where she went."

"Forget it." Jiang Zuo waved his hand.

At this time, the servant in the mansion said: "There is a man outside the door, claiming to be your relative, Master Jiang, and wants to see you."

"You claim to be a relative again. Please turn it down immediately. My Lord is busy now."

Master Guo answered on behalf of Jiang Zuo.

At this time, Jiang Zuo was already a little tired and drowsy.

It is true that a rich man has distant relatives even if he lives in the mountains, but a poor man has no close neighbors even if he is nearby.

Jiang Zuo had only been the Prime Minister of the Cabinet for a month or two when hundreds of people came to claim to be his relatives. Most of Jiang Zuo had not approached him before, and many of them were trying to take advantage of the situation and force a relationship with him.

Jiang Zuo expressed his helplessness about this.

The servant said, "But the other party said he is really a relative of Lord Jiang and must ask to see Lord Jiang."

Master Guo added, "Who doesn't say that? Ask him to leave immediately."

The servant nodded and left.

But after a while, he returned to Jiang Zuo and said, "Sir Jiang, the other party said that he is your benefactor and your cousin. He must meet you today."

These words made Jiang Zuo feel a little irritated, so he said, "Let him in."

"Yes." The servant turned and walked forward.

Master Guo said at the side: "Sir, there is no need to meet these meaningless people. They disturb your rest, Master Jiang."

Jiang Zuo said: "If this man dares to lie, I will throw him into prison as a warning."

Being bothered like this for a long time is definitely not a solution.

After a while, a short and thin middle-aged man wearing light grey cloth came to Jiang Zuo with heavy steps and asked, "Xiao Zuo, do you remember me?"

This person's tone was extremely friendly, without any sense of strangeness at all, which was different from the stranger who had met Jiang Zuo before.

Jiang Zuo narrowed his eyes, looked at the man in front of him, and did not answer.

The man continued, "I am your cousin, Liang Maoshi from Linshan Town, your mother's biological brother. I went to Anding County to visit you several times."

After saying this, Jiang Zuo suddenly fell into memories.

As a time traveler, Jiang Zuo is the standard protagonist from the beginning. As for his relatives, there is not much connection between them.

"Xiao Zuo, have you forgotten? Your uncle raised you when you were a child. Why do you disown him so soon?"

Liang Maoshi said.

He opens his mouth calling Jiang Zuo "Xiao Zuo", and it seems that he does have a special relationship with Jiang Zuo.

But in Jiang Zuo's memory, the memory was a little vague.

After all, he did not belong to this world in his previous life. When he first came here, he was already an adult and could not remember his childhood at all.

Jiang Zuo only had a vague impression of the man who claimed to be his cousin.

Jiang Zuo calmed down his thoughts a little and said, "I'm sorry, cousin, I've been busy with official duties recently and I can't remember it for a while."

Even if he remembered it now, Jiang Zuo would only feel more troubled.

"I came here with a family tree."

This cousin Liang came prepared. He took out a thick family tree from the bag behind him and opened it skillfully.

After a moment, he pointed to one of the names and said, "Look, Xiao Zuo, your name is on it. Your uncle doesn't just recognize relatives randomly."

Master Guo walked forward and took the family tree to show Jiang Zuo.

Jiang Zuo's name was indeed written on it.

After carefully studying this book, I can see that it is quite old and does not look like a fake.

"Could this person really be my cousin?" Jiang Zuo thought.

He thought about it and closed the family tree without saying anything.

Life in the capital city is really troublesome...
