His tone softened, "You must never tell anyone else about this."

Shen Ruyi continued in a lower voice, "I know, I know the severity of the situation, I've told you now.

I think my guess is pretty close. If something happens, there must be a hidden motive behind it.

Only in this case can we explain why they did this.

Think about it, if he was really the son of an official, there would be no need for him to go this far.

As long as you raise the child well, and when he grows up, after the official passes away, you can push your grandson to a high position.

There is no need to do these little tricks. After all, the prince is still young, and it is a bit redundant and too early to do these things.

Based on the information we have seen so far, the Prime Minister's Office is heading towards launching a coup or rebellion.

You must have been researching this point of view for some time recently, so there should be no doubt about it.

If this child was not from an official family, everything would make sense.

Once the troops, food and fodder are ready, in order to solve the problem once and for all, they will choose to poison the officials.

By creating an accidental death, the prince will have no worries as long as the emperor is gone.

With the imperial concubine inside and the prime minister outside, it is absolutely foolproof and easy for him to reach the top.

The other princes are too young and without the care of the government, they could easily die in an accident."

After hearing this analysis that sounded like a fairy tale, the young prince's thoughts were in turmoil.

On the one hand, I felt that what he said seemed to make sense, but on the other hand, I felt that Xiao Heitan was too rebellious and had no respect for the royal family at all.

He arranged the death and ending for the official in a very frivolous way. He was too ignorant and outspoken.

If you go out and talk nonsense like this, it's easy to get yourself charged with the crime of genocide.

Also, this little black charcoal, you know a little too much.

I looked at Little Black Charcoal with some scrutiny. You are so young, how did you think of all this?

"Do you also think my analysis makes sense? This is what I came up with after walking all the way here.

But don't worry, my analysis is not made with any selfish motives, and I have no grudge against the Prime Minister's Office.

Do you think I'm smart? Of course, don't worry, I have no interest in your Mohist kingdom.

Look at how frustrated this emperor is. Neither of the two senior officials in the Ministry of War is his own man.

I don’t know what the situation is like in other official positions, but as I said, one thing can reveal the whole situation. I guess other positions are not much better.

Officials get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, and work harder than cows.

He had the huge pressure of the Queen Mother above him, and he also had to be on guard against the ministers who might set traps for him and make trouble for him below.

I also have to guard against betrayal from my partner. Just thinking about it makes my life boring. It’s a thankless job.”

Shen Ruyi felt the other party's scrutiny, so she deliberately made jokes and acted stupid and talked nonsense.

You still have to show your determination and loyalty, to avoid being accidentally hurt by the anger of your superiors, which would be a disaster.

After hearing all these nonsense, the young prince was completely speechless.

Little Black Charcoal is like this, there is nothing he can do about it, just let it go on.

I should think about how to mention this matter to the authorities. I regret hearing this news.

If you didn’t hear it, just let it go. If you heard it but didn’t report it, that would be a big problem.

You can report it. If it is true, it is a scandal after all.

The government won't do anything to me now, but if one day in the future, they suddenly remember this matter and feel ashamed, it will be troublesome to settle the score later.

Think about it, it's a dead end.

If I don't tell him, if the emperor really dies young as Xiao Heitan guessed, I will probably regret it to my heart's content.

Shen Ruyi had said everything she needed to say, and now she was ready to eat. She had to fill her stomach first.

After finishing the meal, he said, "My young prince, I will go in again. Sister Yiren hasn't come back yet, which can only mean that there is something very important.

She had to figure this out, otherwise with her skills and speed she would have returned long ago.

Maybe they discovered some hidden troops or something, or there were many more passages ahead.

She can't handle it all by herself, so I have to support her.

When you are done, send someone reliable to guard this area and protect our rear area to prevent us from being stabbed in the back."

"Okay! You have a very rich imagination. Is it safe for you to go alone? Do you want to send two people to go with you?"

"Of course not. Who made me read so many story books? Do you think I read them in vain?

As for sending someone, please don't do that. I want to act on my own. I'm alone and small, so it's easy to hide.

Plus, I'm so clever that it's hard for people to catch me. Oh, and this."

Shen Ruyi took out the pile of things from her arms.

"These are the things found in Wu Hui's private vault. Account books, brochures, letters, and the like.

There are only 50 taels of silver left. Just taels. You can take this silver away.

The other fabrics, furs, calligraphy and paintings, jade articles, as well as golden melon seeds and peanuts, were kept for us as they will be useful.

In principle, Meiyuan belongs to us now, and the things we find here should also be ours.

But mainly because I think the official family is a bit poor, I'd better give it to him."

The young prince said, "Okay, I accept. How did you come up with the idea of ​​looking for a secret room and a tunnel?"

“Meiyuan has been ownerless for many years. Based on my understanding of human nature, they will definitely commit corruption.

Now that I have taken over, I will definitely clean out the parasites first. To clean out the parasites, I will naturally start by checking the accounts and checking their sources of income.

Those who should be sent to the authorities will be sent to the authorities, those who should be sold will be sold, and those who should be beaten will be beaten.

I also have to make them give up everything they have embezzled.

Of course, if there are people who have a bottom line and work hard, they should be rewarded if they deserve it and reused if they deserve it.

I expected to find the dark room, but finding the secret passage was beyond my expectation.

I just asked randomly, who knew it actually existed? This time it was really an accident.

However, fortunately we checked, otherwise there would be so many underground passages extending in all directions.

When we really open our business, anyone can harm me, and I won’t even know how I died.”

After hearing this, the young prince didn't know what to say.

Xiao Heitan's luck is simply invincible. He can find big problems with just a slight move.

He is indeed a clever one. "Why did you think of coming to Meiyuan today?"

"You don't know? At the banquet in your mansion yesterday, the young prince announced that an auction would be held in Meiyuan in a few days to auction watches and famous flowers.

We had originally planned to open the business in May, after the vegetables were on the market, so we just left it alone.

Now that Meiyuan is open for business ahead of schedule, it’s natural for me to come over and take over.”

“……”It was just such a coincidence that it was discovered by accident?

Shen Ruyi asked, "Where are the young prince and his family?"

"Take Xiao Ningzi with you and knock on doors one by one, looking for the secret room and tunnel."

“Well, Meiyuan is now leaking like dice, so we should check it out!

I've rested enough now, so I'll go in again. How can I recognize if it's one of our own?"
