The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

Fengting Tower.

Since the opening of Fengting Tower, it has become more and more popular with the dignitaries in the imperial capital. Fengting Tower is uniquely located in the west city, elegant and magnificent. The newly built teahouse and dance pavilion in the building are crowded with diners every day, and the literati and elegant guests are full of praise for it.

The tea master and dancers that Yue Xun brought from Jiangnan were the best in the capital. Because Fengting Tower was very private, many politicians, scholars, and merchants liked to choose Fengting Tower for business talks.

Teahouse Bamboo Pavilion.

A beautiful tea master walked out of the private room next to Zhuyun Yage, looked around at the people around her, then left the teahouse and went to another room in the inner courtyard of Fengting Tower.

"Knock-"

"Come in." A soft female voice came from inside.

The tea master pushed the door and walked in.

"Owner."

Yue Xun was looking down at the account book, his fingers flying rapidly. He did not look up at the tea master and asked in a low voice:

"What's the matter?"

"Master, there are two distinguished guests in Zhuyun Pavilion."

Yue Xun raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Who?"

"Duke Qing and the Minister of War. I heard that they intend to deal with the Duke of Zhenguo. The Minister of War has evidence that the Duke of Zhenguo privately sold military rations and weapons in the northern border. Duke Qing asked the Minister of War to send the evidence to Qingzhou to the Netherworld Guards. Let the Netherworld Guards handle this matter and don't let anyone interfere."

Yue Xun put down the account book in his hand and looked at the tea master seriously: "Have you heard clearly when it will be sent to Qingzhou?"

"tomorrow."

Yue Xun's expression turned cold, and he ordered the tea master, "Immediately send someone to keep an eye on the Minister of War, and check everything sent out from his house. Don't let that thing fall into the hands of the Nether Guards!"

Yue Xun looked solemn. If such a thing fell into the hands of the Nether Guard, who was hated by everyone, according to the Nether Guard's past style, they could make it real even if it was fake. If the Nether Guard targeted it, the Su family would be in danger.

"Yes." The tea master nodded and walked out.

After she left, Yue Xun immediately took a letter from the drawer, put on his hat, and went out.

...

Zhenguogongfu

Su Jingning looked at the letter handed over by Yue Xun.

The letter contained the names of court officials who had benefited from the Wushao Casino and their relationship with the Wushao Casino. It also included several copies of correspondence between them and the casino owner.

Su Jingning's lips curled slightly. This letter saved her a lot of trouble. She asked An Xia to investigate Cheng Mansion a few days ago, but she didn't expect to find Concubine Shu and Wushao Casino. Such a big casino was hidden in Wushao, a town near the imperial capital. It turned out that so many people were involved. It was related to the lives and property of so many people. How could this casino be hidden well?

Thanks to Lu Zhifan, who is worthy of being called a genius. In such a situation, he was able to get such a thing without being discovered.

Presumably, he had heard about his relationship with the Duke Qing's Mansion. The people on this list were all newcomers personally selected for the Shen family when the Queen Mother intervened in government affairs. Now, they were all high-ranking officials in the court and had close ties with the Duke Qing's Mansion.

"Save the evidence you found and these things and give them to Prime Minister Liu. Since they are so eager to reach out to the Su family, there is no need to wait until two months later. Keep the eunuch first and don't let him die. He can be of great use."

Su Jingning's eyes flashed with cruelty and bloodthirstiness. How could my father do such a thing as selling military rations and military equipment privately? My father was a general, and he knew the importance of military equipment and military rations to an army. He loved his soldiers like his own sons, and the Minister of War dared to accuse my father of such a thing.

Prime Minister Liu has always regarded the faction of Duke Qing and Concubine Shu as thorns in his side. Now that these evidences are placed in front of him, he can destroy half of their forces in one blow. How can he not be tempted?

Duke Qing wanted to use the power of the Netherworld Guards to kill the Su family, so she would use his own method to return the favor and kill him with a borrowed knife.

"Yes."

Yun Ya responded in a low voice. She took the letters from Su Jingning and looked down. If she didn't have this thing, she would have to search for a long time to find out the connections behind this casino.

Yue Xun also told Su Jingning about the recent situation of Fengting Tower and the construction of Fengting Tower in the four regions of Dazhou. Because of sufficient funds, the building was built quickly, but there were some problems in selecting people.

There are too many people needed, and if we transfer people from Jiangnan, it will not be enough.

Su Jingning lowered his head and thought for a while: "The shopkeeper must be one of our own. We can't be careless. Each building should send one or two women who were helped by the building in the past to assist. The maids can be selected locally. For example, in Jiangnan, we can find some orphans or women who were sold by their families. Teach them patiently. These people have no one to rely on. If the building treats them well, they will not let you down. Although it will be slow, there is no rush. Take your time."

Yue Xun suddenly had an idea. Yes, orphans and people who were sold were all helpless. If someone helped them at this time, they would become the most loyal people in the building. She had only thought about speeding up before and had never considered these people.

"Yes, Yue Xun understands."

Su Jingning nodded and said to her gently, "I've told you not to rush. This will take time. You can take your time. Also, don't stay up late on weekdays. Be careful not to hurt your body."

"I understand, Miss." Yue Xun's voice was soft. She smiled at Su Jingning with smiles in her eyes.

"Is the young lady's injury better now? I was scared when I heard that the young lady was injured that day. Why does the young lady always get injured these days? Why don't I transfer some more people from Jiangnan." Yue Xun looked at Su Jingning, whose complexion had not yet recovered, with worry in his eyes.

"No need. I'm well enough now. There are enough guards in this mansion. There's no need to waste manpower on me." Su Jingning said gently.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady." Yue Xun nodded.

"By the way, Mr. Lu's affairs have been arranged. He can catch up with the imperial examination this year." She said softly.

Su Jingning nodded: "That's good, thank Lu Zhifan for me, he helped me a lot with this matter."

"Yes."
