No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Mingchen couldn't answer her because he himself couldn't answer her.

He could tell his elder sister that he bought the woman he rescued this time in the name of a female worker.

But he couldn't afford so many people.

"Princess, don't worry too much. The Emperor will make the decision," Mingchen comforted her and stopped talking to her.

Wu Yunzhu glanced at him secretly a few times, but seeing his expressionless face, she felt too embarrassed to get any closer.

Mingchen had a badge to enter and exit the palace, so he brought the person directly into the palace.

When we arrived at Kunning Palace, the sky was just beginning to turn white.

Last night, the Fourth Master got the news from Lin Mingyan. When he heard that the Black Cloud Pearl had been found, he put on his clothes and came out without any delay.

The moment Wu Yunzhu saw the Fourth Master, she burst into tears: "Father Emperor~~ It's so slippery~~"

She usually felt that the emperor was too strict, so she didn't dare to act coquettishly in front of him like Yaliqi did.

After almost going through the gates of hell, she saw that the emperor was not afraid at all.

Because she knows that the person who really hurts you may look honest and kind, and be particularly kind and friendly to you.

Even though the emperor had a gloomy face every day, he definitely loved her from the bottom of his heart.

The Fourth Master was originally full of anger, but when he saw Wu Yunzhu like this, most of his anger dissipated.

Forget it, the child has already suffered so much, let her mother learn some of the lessons.

Lin Mingyan was watching from the side and saw that although she was injured and a little frightened.

But his mental state doesn't seem to be a big problem, so it seems he hasn't been persecuted or suffered psychological harm.

This was a blessing in disguise, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Comforting on the side: "It's okay, it's okay..."

Only Wu Yunzhu was safe, Mingchen and Niu Hulu Mansion were truly spared.

After all, no matter how reasonable the Fourth Master is, if something serious happens to his own daughter, he will still be a little angry with Mingchen.

Wu Yunzhu is fine now, just suffered some physical pain.

There were even some subtle changes for the better because of this incident, so Mingchen really had no responsibility.

Given the Fourth Master's personality, he might feel that he has been wronged and compensate him secretly.

Mingchen and she looked at each other, and both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Fourth Master had a deep affection for his daughter, but when he learned that she had been whipped, his eyes were filled with gloom.

"Investigate this thoroughly for me and exterminate all three clans!" He issued the death order that day.

Moreover, under Lin Mingyan's suggestion, a strict investigation was carried out from top to bottom on the beggars, and many dens were destroyed in various places at one time.

Because the Fourth Master refused to show any leniency, even many of the backers behind these dens were exposed.

"These aristocratic families are so lawless!" The Fourth Master was so angry about the forces involved behind the scenes that he almost smashed his teacup.

Lin Mingyan took it and took a look, and was also shocked.

She had never thought that the aristocratic families were good people, but she had not expected that they would not only occupy arable land, money and other resources.

They even treat these ordinary people as their resources, sucking their blood from women and children.

"And the Tong family?" Lin Mingyan looked at the first name and was a little speechless.

What kind of family is the Tong family?

They were the most noble family in the Kangxi Dynasty except for the Aixinjueluo family.

Generally, families like this are very careful about their reputation.

If someone says that they are competing with the people for profit, they will feel embarrassed and make up for it.

The Tong family, who are not short of money at all, are actually involved in human trafficking?

The coldness in the Fourth Master's eyes grew even colder. "It's not that the Tong family took the initiative, but they were using their name and leveraging their influence."

Lin Mingyan suddenly remembered the target person: "Is it Li Si'er?"

Logically speaking, no one in the Tong family would be so stupid as to be involved in such a thing.

But there is a crazy Li Si'er in it, who is ignorant and loves money.

It's really not surprising that someone could do something like this.

"Isn't it her?! I really underestimated this woman!" The Fourth Master frowned.

Originally, I thought it was the jealousy of the women in the inner palace. Since Longkodo had been punished and she had also been punished with fifty strokes of the cane, I spared her life.

I didn't expect that after being punished, this woman had no scruples at all and was still acting so boldly outside.

"It's not just this matter. She accepts everything from taking on lawsuits to lending money at high interest rates!" The Fourth Master looked at the memorials from his subordinates and suspected that he was seeing things.

Such a woman is as bad as a corrupt official. She has done everything she shouldn't have done.

The amount of bribes discovered alone amounted to over one million taels of silver, not to mention the many rare treasures whose value was simply inestimable.

Lin Mingyan was completely disgusted with Li Si'er. She had felt a little sympathy for this woman before.

After all, she had no choice. She was sold as a slave and then forced to be a concubine by the old man.

In the end, he was able to hook Longkodo and let him run away. It really took some skill.

Including the later house fight with Hesheli, she cannot be blamed, because if she didn't fight, she would have no good life.

Lin Mingyan's resistance to her started when she made things difficult for Madam Tong.

As a woman who has climbed up from the bottom of society, it is completely incomprehensible for her to bully another woman from the bottom of society.

Not to mention the cruel treatment he later used against the Hesheli family, and now he is still involved in so many evil deeds.

Lin Mingyan was so angry: "She was obviously sold out, but she went to be a backer for Pai Huazi. Really..." It's hard to comment.

Does this mean that even if you are stuck in the mud, you still want to drag others into it?

It's simply a psychopath!

The Fourth Master embraced her and said, "People like this are even worse. There must be something hateful about pitiful people."

"This vicious woman, I will not tolerate her this time!"

Lin Mingyan said, "Master, is it really her fault alone?"

"Without the tacit consent of the Tong family, could she, a woman in the harem, achieve this level?"

"Even with all the treasures and money she received, was she really the only one using them?"

She didn't believe that Li Si'er was a bad person, but could she, a stupid person, really do such a thing?

Or was it that someone took advantage of everything behind the scenes, but when the truth was revealed, they pushed this vicious woman out to take the blame?

The Fourth Master was shocked by the "evil woman" at first, so he didn't think too deeply about it.

This time, Lin Mingyan gave him a hint, and he immediately broke through the fog and turned his attention to the Tong family behind him.

It seems that the Tong family had already been committing crimes without the emperor knowing.

Perhaps the emperor himself knew it, but he just turned a blind eye to his own people.

Haha~

He is not that kind of person.

Tong family, investigate thoroughly!
