Liang Chongyue did not miss the two blows given by the system, and it was obvious that the system was a little annoyed.

But at this time, I would pretend not to care and turn my head away, pretending not to see it.

The system resigned itself to its fate and began to investigate where all of Fan Hun's private property had been over the years. Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon chair and ate pastries, his eyes occasionally turning to the system. Seeing it start to investigate, he could not hide his excitement just looking at its back.

"Host, don't say that old man Fan Hun is quite greedy. If it weren't for me, with that old man's ability to embezzle, even if you ask the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to investigate for half a year, they wouldn't be able to find out the truth."

The system's words aroused Liang Chongyue's interest. He simply dismissed the palace servants serving in the hall. He and his dog ate cakes while watching the system's investigation results.

Liang Chongyue looked at the account books of silver and money piling up on the panel. Next to each sum of money was the name of the person who died while helping Fan Hun launder money.

No wonder the system said he was corrupt. This old guy not only embezzled money, but also knew how to launder money. This money was laundered before it reached him. Even if the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice investigated him, he would still be a clean and good official.

The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice may not have seen such corruption methods.

"Host, don't you think that if he could put his brain into officialdom, he would probably be in the cabinet by now."

Liang Chongyue was originally looking at the washed silver coins on the panel that were made with human lives, but the voice of the system rang in his ears, and his mood became inexplicably gloomy.

"He can't get in."

Even if he was really allowed in, Liang Chongyue would drag him out and execute him along with his entire clan.

Sensing that the host next to it was in a bad mood, the system silently moved a short distance away.

The current host looks a bit scary. It feels like Fan Hun is alive, but already dead.

Liang Chongyue stood up and left the panel. She was afraid that if she continued watching, she would execute Fan Hun before Minglang could find him.

It is rare for an official not to be greedy, but Fan Hun was not only greedy, he also wanted to be perfect, to wash every penny cleanly, and to exchange the lives of the people for his own peace of mind.

Thinking of the painful deaths of those people, the murderous instinct that had been suppressed in Liang Chongyue's heart for a long time was about to stir.

After sunset, the sky was completely dark before Liang Chongyue waited until it became light.

"Your son pays homage to the Queen Mother. Long live the Queen Mother."

Liang Chongyue hummed lightly, stood up from the dragon throne, and walked forward to pull her up.

"Why are you back so late? Come and have dinner with me."

Liang Chongyue smelled a faint odor on Minglang's clothes, and withdrew her outstretched hand in disgust. She stood in front of Minglang and looked her up and down:

"What have you been doing? You stink so badly?"

Minglang lowered his head and smelled himself, and saw bird droppings on the corner of his clothes.

Minglang took a step back awkwardly:

"There are many birds in the Imperial Court today. I will go take a bath and change clothes now. If the Queen is hungry, eat first. There is no need to wait for me."

Liang Chongyue wanted to say something, but Minglang had already trotted out.

Liang Chongyue sighed helplessly. Did this kid go out and chase the birds himself today?

"Your Majesty, would you like to wait for His Highness to join you?"

Yun Ling felt sorry for His Majesty and didn't know what was wrong. So far today, apart from breakfast, he had only eaten a few bites of cakes. He said he had no appetite for lunch and dinner and didn't want to eat.

This will be bad for His Majesty's health. She wanted to persuade him, but who could persuade His Majesty?

Liang Chongyue waved her hand and sat back on the Luohan bed, waiting for Minglang to come over before eating. She really didn't want to eat alone.

His Majesty was sitting and reading, and Yun Ling was waiting beside him. The pastries on the table had been changed three times, but His Majesty didn't even look at them.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Bao did not make Your Majesty wait too long. Your Majesty had only read a few pages of the book when His Royal Highness Prince Bao arrived.

"Queen Mother, this dish is delicious. Please use more."

When Minglang was about to enter the palace, he was stopped by Eunuch Ping'an, and only then did he realize that his mother had not eaten well today.

She had just eaten a few bites at the Imperial Examination Hall and was not hungry yet, so she simply sat next to her mother and picked up some food for her.

Liang Chongyue was in a bad mood, but he still ate a few more bites of noodles.

"Are you full?"

Seeing that Minglang didn't eat much, Liang Chongyue put down his chopsticks, waited for Minglang to nod, rinsed his mouth with tea, and then stood up and left the dining room.

Minglang followed behind the Queen Mother and could see that the Queen Mother was in a bad mood today. She subconsciously felt that it must have something to do with what happened in the Imperial Examination Hall today.

But who is the Queen Mother? She is a woman who remains calm even when faced with a huge crisis. It was just a small matter in the Imperial Examination Hall, which should not affect the Queen Mother's mood. There must be something else she doesn't know.

Anyone who could make the Queen Mother so unhappy didn't even have a grave.

"Tell me who has displeased the Queen Mother, and I will deal with him."

Minglang stretched out her hand as if it were a knife and chopped at the air twice. Liang Chongyue chuckled at her childish look.

"Nothing, just a clown, he won't be able to stay around for long."

Liang Chongyue changed the subject. She didn't want to discuss this matter in depth.

"Tell me, have you investigated what happened in the Imperial Examination Hall today?"

Minglang came here today for this matter.

"Replying to the Queen Mother, the flock of birds that flew into the Imperial Examination Hall today were raised by someone. They've been raised for at least a year, and we caught quite a few alive today. I've already found a palace servant in the menagerie who's skilled at raising birds. After the birds rest for another night, we'll know where these birds came from tomorrow."

After hearing the clear plan, Liang Chongyue didn't say yes or no, but raised his hand to signal Yunling to bring the things over.

Minglang looked at the memorial that her mother placed in front of her, took it in confusion, and opened it. It turned out to be a memorial about the leaked questions of this year's spring examination.

Minglang scanned the names of these people one by one, and she already had an idea in her mind. She saw a name that had become very familiar to her recently.

"Using the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel as a raft, there are really a lot of people behind this."

Minglang couldn't help but sigh. She had been suppressing this matter and didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but this person was even more fearless than her.

She has the Queen Mother, what does this person have? So crazy.

"Just keep it in mind. If these things really become a commotion, just let them run their course."

Even if there is a big problem, there is a solution to it. Minglang's blind suppression gave Fan Hun the opportunity to show his ability.

That old guy is the best at this trick.

Minglang had a clear idea in his mind:

"So the Queen Mother was affected by this incident today?"

Minglang felt that it was unlikely no matter how he looked at it. If such a small matter could affect the Queen Mother's mood, then the Queen Mother would not be the Queen Mother.

"No, there's no need to ask about this anymore. You'll know it sooner or later. But I still hope you can be quicker and not let outsiders make me angry to death."

When Liang Chongyue was talking, Pan Yunian was exerting force with her hands, and it was obvious that she was very angry.

Liang Chongyue turned to look at Minglang and decided to give her a small hint to hasten Fan Hun's death:

"By the time this year's Spring Examination is over, you won't be able to catch the person behind the scenes."
