Evil Sister in Charge: As long as you are thick-skinned, you can eat meat every meal
Chapter 225: Careless Selection Method
Liangxia Kingdom also received news that the Northern Dynasty's grand court meeting would be held earlier. Helian Xiuhan sat in the imperial study, his eyes wandering back and forth among his adult sons.
Except for Helian Chen who was recuperating from a broken leg, all the others came. The four princes standing below were all feeling very nervous.
Because they knew that as long as they participated in the grand court meeting, they must come back with a ranking. Otherwise, given their father's strong sense of gain and loss, if they did not get a ranking, they would have to bear his wrath when they returned.
"Who among you wants to go to this grand court meeting?"
"You should know how important this grand court meeting is to us Liang Xia. Your Majesty only has you, the few adult sons. It's time for you to share my worries!"
"I, Helian Xiuhan, will not raise a useless son. Tell me what you think!"
After Helian Xiu Han finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair, looking at his sons below with a cold and stern gaze. He had seen through all the ways these guys were fighting overtly and covertly. He was not against brothers killing each other at all. He always believed that the winner was the king, just like him.
"Please punish me, Father. This time it was because I failed to take good care of my brother that he got hurt."
"Can the Emperor ask you to allow Divine Doctor Zhang to come to the palace and check my brother's legs?"
Helian Zheng was the first to kneel down, and he covered the wound on his waist and knelt down with his hands gritting his teeth. This way anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was injured. Moreover, he had deliberately worn a moon-white gown today, and blood was already oozing out of the wound.
He also knew that although his father had not caused him any trouble in the past few days, his father was not a simple person. He had many spies and must have known about his and his fourth brother's trip to Dayu. He should kneel down and admit his mistake first.
Moreover, everyone knows that this grand court meeting is a hot potato. Whoever goes will be in trouble. He hopes that his father will exclude him and his brother because their injuries have not yet healed.
When the remaining three princes saw Helian Zheng's expression, they secretly cursed this kid for being so dishonest. Damn it, by saying this, doesn't he just want their father to exclude him and the fourth prince?
The wound was bleeding? Don’t think they didn’t see him picking at the wound. This guy was really cunning and cruel to himself.
"Haha, punishment? Then tell me how I should punish you? Should I chop off your hands or just chop off your head?"
"The good news is that we found the gold mine. The bad news is that it wasn't you two who found it, right? But we can't blame you. After all, it's already on someone else's territory."
"But you were able to dodge six assassination attempts with a burden, which is quite impressive. Forget the punishment! Get up!"
"Give the Second Prince a seat!"
Helian Xiuhan waved his hand, and the young eunuch beside him immediately came forward to help Helian Zheng up, and respectfully brought a soft stool for him, placed it behind him and motioned for him to sit down.
The other three princes were sweating profusely when they heard the emperor's words. My goodness, how could the emperor know so much? It is true that they did it, but even if each of them did it once, it should not be six times, right? Does this bastard, the second prince, have so many enemies?
Could it be that someone wanted to kill the second and fourth sons and then blame them? After bringing them down, he would take advantage of the situation to make up for it? Just like when my father came to the throne? This person is too treacherous!
The three of them went through all the people they could think of, but it seemed like there was no one left? When their father came to power, he massacred all his relatives, and all the male cousins were executed. Who did this?
"What about you three? Don't you want to say anything? Since the injuries of the second and fourth brothers haven't healed yet, let's choose two of you three to go to the grand court meeting this time!"
"Don't make me call your name. If you want to go, just take a step forward!"
Helian Zheng, who was sitting on the side, was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out. Was his father so hasty in selecting people to attend the grand court meeting?
Hearing the emperor's words, the youngest of the three, the fifth prince Helian Xun, did not hesitate at all and quickly took a big step back, revealing the eldest prince Helian Qi and the third prince Helian Lei.
"Very good, then the eldest and the third brother will go this time. It's decided!" Helian Xiu Han made the decision immediately.
The eldest and the third brother were panicking. What the hell was going on? Why were they the only ones left?
Then he looked back, and there was still something he didn't understand. He immediately gritted his teeth, and knew that this seemingly harmless and honest Old Five was not a good person, and was indeed treacherous.
Helian Xun didn't care at all what others thought of him. He shrugged and spread his hands proudly. If you are stupid, don't blame others for being smart.
Helian Zheng also took another look at his fifth brother. This kid was smarter than the other two and was also braver. He even dared to use such a trick in front of his father. He was really brave!
"Zheng'er stay, everyone else please leave! Remember not to make any small moves, and remember to hide your tails!"
Helian Xiuhan glanced at a few people with an impatient look on his face, and the three of them immediately lowered their heads respectfully, not daring to act rashly in front of him.
"Yes! I will remember my father's teachings. I will take my leave now!"
After these troublesome people left, Helian Xiu Han carefully stared at Helian Zheng who was sitting below. Helian Zheng's scalp numbed by his stare, and he raised his head and made eye contact with him. Then Helian Zheng felt that the way his father looked at him was as if he was looking through him at someone else. This feeling was so strange that it was hard to describe.
"Does the wound still hurt? I'll ask Dr. Zhang to come to your house and check your wound. Just take good care of yourself for the next few days."
"After the eldest and third brothers leave, you will set off to the Northern Dynasty. Be sure to help me keep an eye on them. Come back!"
Helian Zheng was stunned. What did his father mean? Did he still want him to attend the imperial court meeting? When he looked up and wanted to ask his father what he meant, he saw his father's gloomy expression and shut his mouth obediently.
"Yes! My son, please retire!"
Helian Zheng stood up, bowed politely to Emperor Liang Xia, and obediently left the imperial study.
Helian Xiuhan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes following Helian Zheng as he walked out of the hall. Then he became dazed, with his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhou Sisi's team of carriages were about to arrive in the capital city after stopping and starting. Along the way, Qiao Wenyuan and Song Hancheng went from being extremely shocked at first to numbly accepting it later. Having lived to such an old age, this was really an eye-opener for them.
All the bandit dens along the way, no matter how big or small, were dug out by Zhou Sisi and Bai Wanyue. At first, it was just the two of them, but later it became four people, and Dong Shuang and Dong Xue also joined in.
Whenever these people returned with a full load, Ying Qing and Ying Bai would be so anxious that their eyes would turn green, because Zhou Sisi said that whoever turned it over would own it.
Looking at the bags full of money, everyone else was anxious, but unfortunately they had to stay to protect the two old men. This resulted in Qiao Wenyuan and Song Hancheng receiving many resentful glances along the way.
Zhou Sisi also fulfilled her promise to rob the rich and help the poor. As soon as she arrived in the capital, her first stop was the Charity Home, also known as an orphanage. Except for some rare trinkets that Zhou Sisi kept, all the silver she robbed was donated.
Bai Wanyue followed suit. She didn't care about the money at all. She would have it the next time she robbed someone. Besides, Sister Sisi said that maybe Emperor Dayu would give her a reward this time!
Moreover, the two of them also planned to sneak into the national treasury to take a look. The Dayu Kingdom was so rich, and there must be many treasures in the treasury. They wanted to go and broaden their horizons.
