After the death escape, I became the white moonlight of the crazy tyrant

After the capital city stabilized, many businessmen moved here one after another. After all, it was the place where the emperor lived, so there were more development opportunities and they eventually took root there.

The idea of ​​selecting an imperial merchant was announced a few days ago, but it has never been implemented. It is just right to give it a push now.

The Minister of Revenue spoke eloquently: "It doesn't mean that we have to give out the imperial merchant quota. We can see who gives more, and the chance will be greater. For the rest who are not selected, the court may give them some convenience. There will always be those who are willing to take the bait."

What a big promise.

Wen Hemian thought about it and felt that this trick might really work for someone, so he said, "You can try it. It's best to convince a business to play along with you first..."

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

Liu Qiongyue's clear and cheerful voice rang out from outside: "Master Wen, can I come in?"

Before returning to the palace in the morning, Wen Hemian casually mentioned that he wanted to discuss something with Liu Qiongyue. Lu Zishen said that she was busy and would definitely help to pass on the message. Unexpectedly, he would come so soon.

The Minister of Revenue had dealt with him several times, so he naturally recognized who he was.

Wen Hemian said to the outside: "It's okay, come in."

Liu Qiongyue then pushed the door open and came in. Seeing her old acquaintance, she smiled and greeted him, "Hello, Lord Shangshu."

This is a wealthy man. The Minister of Revenue looked at her as if she were gold: "Mrs. Lu, you don't have to be polite."

Liu Qiongyue herself is a very low-key person, but she has a husband who holds an important position, so she can't be low-key even if she wants to.

She sat down, looking cheerful, and got straight to the point: "Lord Wen, are you short of money? I'll donate."

Liu Qiongyue is an out-and-out businessman. She doesn't have much else but a lot of money. Wen Hemian has approached her for cooperation several times and has never let her suffer any loss. Now that there is war in the north, she feels that she needs to do her part.

Wen Hemian laughed: "I'm in need of it. I was just about to talk about you. How about you talk to the minister in detail while I go out for a walk?"

"Isn't this not good?"

Liu Qiongyue hesitated.

"I've been sitting here all afternoon. I'm going out for some fresh air."

Wen Hemian didn't give them a chance to refuse. He drank the remaining pear soup in the teacup, then got up and left.

Seeing this, the two started chatting.

Wen Hemian received the secret guards' investigation results in the corridor.

Normally speaking, unless there is a need for interaction, people generally would not visit government offices. At most, they would gather together privately with a narrow scope. The officials who went from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Revenue were the Minister of War, the Left Vice Minister of War, and a doctor.

The Minister of War can temporarily confirm that there is no problem. The missing page just happens to include the information of the Left Vice Minister and the doctor.

"Keep an eye on them. Report any unusual movements. Also, have someone fetch the Ministry of Revenue's files from previous years. Keep quiet. I'll take a look."

The Minister of Revenue was still talking to Liu Qiongyue. Wen Hemian gave the token to the secret guard and asked him to go and get it directly and quickly.

After explaining all this, Wen Hemian took another walk around the courtyard. In autumn, the leaves of some trees had turned yellow, looking cold and desolate.

When she was free, Wen Hemian liked to stare at the scenery outside. Later, when she agreed to be with Xie Lang, he would squeeze over at this time, kiss her lips stickyly, and prevent her from falling into deep thought.

Wen Hemian thought he was clingy at the time, but now she realized what was going on - he clearly wanted her to have him in her eyes.

When they were teacher and student, he could only look at her from afar. Later, after they talked it out, he had the opportunity to move closer to her openly and try to get her to pay more attention to him.

The moon... Thinking of Xie Lang's description of her, Wen Hemian felt complicated.

Who knows what the kid is thinking about all day long.

When you are around, I find you clingy, but when you are not around, I feel lonely.

Even Wen Hemian felt a little embarrassed because of his awkward thoughts.

Why do I miss him so much when I’ve only been away for less than a day?

Wen Hemian shook his head.

Qingyun came from behind and said softly, "Miss, Miss Liu and the Shangshu had something to discuss and have left first."

Wen Hemian nodded, indicating that he understood.

Qingyun advised again: "You have been busy for a long time today, and you will be busy later. I have prepared some hot water for you. Go and wash up and take a rest."

Wen Hemian actually wanted to wait for news from the secret guards, but when she thought about what Qingyun said, she felt it made sense. She couldn't let herself get exhausted before defeating the enemy, and she still had to go to the north afterwards.

You have to be in good health both physically and mentally.

Wen Hemian was calm and had strong self-control. He immediately chose a method that was beneficial to himself and the situation.

The secret guard acted efficiently, and Wen Hemian obtained the old household registration files the next day. These were discarded and had not been processed in time, but fortunately there were traces left, and she quickly found what she wanted to see.

There was nothing wrong with the Left Assistant Minister, and the other doctor himself seemed to have no problems either. He was his biological mother, who was from the Li family of Yuzhou.

If I remember correctly, Prince Jia's mother was also from the Li family.

They were a famous aristocratic family in the past, but after protecting Prince Jia, they gradually declined. Later, the whole family moved to Prince Jia's fiefdom. From this point of view alone, they treated Prince Jia quite well.

It’s easy once you find the key.

Wen Hemian put down the file and said, "Go check this doctor's mother."

It’s hard to say if this is the only one. Wen Hemian hasn’t told anyone except Lu Zishen and Ye Zhaoxuan yet.

Fortunately, we have clues and can follow them to find the cause.

While she was secretly investigating, the Minister of Revenue was also busy painting a rosy picture for the business owners.

The business owners all have their own connections, and they all know the relationship between the one at the Liu family business and the current Prime Minister. After Liu Qiongyue took the first step, some people began to pay.

As the saying goes, the brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation. I would rather die of overeating than die of starvation.

They donated money readily, and the Minister of Revenue also accepted the money readily, with a smile on his face.

Of course, the money allocated was also extremely generous, ensuring sufficient backup.

Wars are fought with money.

Everyone in the capital was united, so miscellaneous tasks were handled particularly smoothly. Half a month had passed, and Wen Hemian had not received any other news except the letter sent by Xie Lang after his arrival.

She knew nothing would happen, but she still couldn't help but feel anxious.

The long wait is the most torturous.

It is not like modern times where we can contact each other by mobile phone at any time. Waiting means waiting alone. We cannot see what lies ahead, nor can we know how the people we care about are doing.

Wen Hemian suddenly realized how cruel he had been in the past.

What would Xie Lang think during those three years?

With hopeless waiting in his heart, he worked diligently to be an encouraging king.

He has done his best.

The war situation changed rapidly, leaving Wen Hemian with little time to indulge in her personal emotions. She came to her senses and received reports from her subordinates.

Traitor, there's movement.
