With supernatural powers, he traveled through the book and became a little guard, and his inner voic

After careful consideration, King Han asked Zhu Jiu to stay where he was and took Qingyun straight to the study room in the manor.

Zhu Jiu understood. It seemed that the undefeated god of war, wise and powerful King Han, in the hearts of the people, chose to protect his so-called relatives.

Then she thought again, she was a newcomer and knew such an important thing. King Han chose to protect his family, so would she be silenced?

Zhu Jiu touched his neck depressedly. In his previous life, he complained that he lived too long. Why was he always on the edge of death in this life?

She thought to herself that if the prince wanted to silence her, she would definitely not be able to do it with her current strength, and it would also implicate her family.

Maybe she could try to take advantage of the situation and escape with her own strategy?

But we still need to think carefully about how to do it specifically?

In the study, Ji Yuze was discussing with his loyal subordinates how to transport the silver and how to deliver it safely to its destination.

The study door was kicked open with a bang, and several people immediately took out their weapons.

King Han walked in with a gloomy face. Ji Yuze was surprised for a moment, and had a bad guess in his mind, but he quickly regained his gentlemanly demeanor.

He walked up to her with a smile and said, "Cousin, why are you here?

Your way of appearing is really different.

Be more careful next time, my cousin's door can't withstand your strength."

"Someone, serve tea."

King Han glanced at the people in the study and said coldly, "Since I'm here, I guess you already have the answer in your mind.

I will now give you two choices, either I will tie you up and bring you before the Emperor, or you will explain the whole matter clearly."

Ji Yuze put away the smile on his face and said, "I don't know what the prince is talking about. Since the prince doesn't like the tea here, then please move on."

King Han was filled with anger and disappointment, and his voice was icy cold. "For the sake of my mother, I wanted to leave you a way out, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful.

Ji Yuze, the things under the thatched hut of Jingci Temple and the secret passage leading to this place are enough to destroy Pingyuan Marquis Mansion

Aren't you ready to tell me everything now?"

Ji Yuze looked solemn, staring at King Han steadily. Under King Han's gaze, he waved his hand to let the others in the study room leave.

Qingyun also retreated, closed the study door, and stood guard at the door.

Ji Yuze said, "Since the prince has found Jingci Temple and discovered the secret passage, he must have got the accounts.

But he only brought Qingyun here. I believe the prince doesn't want to kill them all.

Ji Yuze saved hundreds of lives in the Marquis' Mansion, thank you for showing mercy, Your Majesty."

Prince Han had found the account book last night. The amount was astonishing, and more than a dozen officials were involved.

Building a river embankment is a matter of benefit to the country and the people, but they were so unscrupulous that they embezzled 80% of the money allocated by the national treasury.

Less than 20% of the national treasury allocation was spent on building river embankments.

The entire river bank was built with shoddy materials, poor supervision and perfunctory work, which resulted in the river bank collapsing before the flood.

When he saw the account book, he was so angry that his blood boiled. He was determined to bring this black sheep to justice.

But how could he have imagined at that time that his uncle would be the leader of this corruption case?

After listening to Ji Yuze's description of the case, King Han could no longer bear it and beat Ji Yuze up.

"How dare you? The Yongzhou Riverbank is the lifeline of hundreds of thousands of people in Yongzhou. Who gave you the courage to act so recklessly and cruelly?"

Ji Yuze pressed him to the ground, his face was bruised and bloody, and he said incoherently, "Cousin, my father and I were also confused at the time, and we regretted it afterwards."

But the feet are already stained with mud, and the mistakes that should not be made have been made

My father and I couldn't sleep all night, and we were thinking of ways to remedy the situation. We were preparing to transport the silver and donate it to Yongzhou in the name of a wealthy businessman to build a river embankment.

Cousin, even if you kill everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, you can't make up for the mistakes you made. We may even cause trouble for the Imperial Concubine. Grandmother is old and can't stand the stimulation.

Please, since we have tried our best to make amends and turn over a new leaf, please help the Marquisate before irreparable damage is done.

I dare to guarantee with my life that the Marquis' Mansion will take out all the silver without missing a penny, and dredge the river or evacuate the people affected by the flood before the rainy season comes and the floods occur.

Your Majesty, you are the only one who can save the Pingyuan Marquisate now.

Besides, whoever gets hold of such a big piece of fat meat, who can guarantee that he won’t take a few bites?

But we are different. We should also deeply realize the seriousness of it, hold a regretful heart, and try our best to save it.

Cousin, give us a chance to atone for our sins."

King Han closed his eyes. He didn't believe what Ji Yuze said, but he had to believe it.

"You must immediately clear all traces of the Marquis' Mansion from this manor, and you must follow my instructions for the rest of the matter.

Otherwise, you know the consequences.”

Although he chose to protect the Marquis's Mansion, he would recover every penny of the silver, teach them a lesson, and would not let off any of the officials he dealt with.

Ji Yuze finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately nodded in agreement.

King Han returned to the entrance of the secret passage and found Zhu Jiu sitting comfortably in a hidden corner.

The look in Zhu Jiu's eyes also changed. This matter was of great importance and could not afford any mistakes. Otherwise, the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion and the four of them, mother and son, would be doomed.

At this moment, he wanted to kill Zhu Jiu.

Although Zhu Jiu's fighting power is not high now, she has been in the apocalypse for so many years. The moment King Han wanted to kill her, she felt it.

But soon, the murderous intent disappeared.

The three of them entered the secret passage, and King Han said to Zhu Jiu, "Zhu Jiu, I have people I must protect, but so do you.

I heard that your eight sisters love you more than themselves, and your parents treat you like their lifeblood.

We all have our own concerns. You can understand my choice, right?

Can I trust you?"

This is a blatant threat, anyone who is not a fool can understand it.

But I have to say, this really threatened her.

Even though she is a lonely soul in another world, she likes the life surrounded by her relatives. She already regards them as her family.

Zhu Jiu said solemnly, "My whole family depends on the palace for their livelihood, and the lives of my whole family are in the hands of the prince. I will never have second thoughts.

Your Majesty, you can trust me."

King Han paused for a while and did not hear Zhu Jiu's thoughts anymore.

Reason told him that only the dead could keep secrets.

But Zhu Jiu is too special, and he is reluctant to give up such a capable person.

King Han took out a black pill and said, "Take it and I will believe you."

Zhu Jiu took the pill from King Han without hesitation and threw it into his mouth.

Seeing Zhu Jiu swallowing, King Han said with satisfaction, "This matter is of great importance, and I have no choice but to do this. As long as you are loyal to me, I will ensure that you will have no worries in your life."

If you dare to have second thoughts, I will not let you live any longer."

Zhu Jiu patted his chest proudly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will be your lackey from now on. If you tell me to go east, I will definitely not go west."

King Han looked at Zhu Jiu steadily, and after making sure that he had not heard any of Zhu Jiu's thoughts, he took the lead and walked forward.

Qingyun saw everything. His feeling was not wrong. Zhu Jiu was different in the eyes of his master.

If it were someone else, the master would either kill the person directly or take him under control, and would not explain so much.

That evening, carriages with deep tire tracks entered the city in an orderly manner.

That night, imperial edicts were sent out from the palace to confiscate property.

In the silent night, there are different cries, scoldings, and pleadings.
