The Queen Mother's palm strike was very light, Minglang had already expected this, but at this point, she could only control Fan Hun first. As for the treasures hidden in his private vault, she could only investigate them later.

When the Queen Mother's hand moved away from her palm, she felt a hard object falling into her hand. Minglang lowered her head and saw a token only as big as her palm falling into her hand.

The size and pattern on it were something she had never seen before. It didn't look like a token used to command officers and soldiers.

"Queen Mother, what is this?"

Liang Chongyue took Minglang's hand and gently stroked the small token with patterns on it.

"This is an army that the Queen Mother has prepared for you long ago. It's just for you. It's not large, only 5,000 elite soldiers, but it's more than enough for you."

Liang Chongyue ordered Fei He and Chi Rong to start selecting talents for this team since Minglang was five years old. After rounds of screening, only these 5,000 people stood out from the army of 50,000.

Minglang's eyes were deeply attracted by the small token lying in his palm. His throat moved and many words were stuck there.

"Your Majesty, your son, bows to thank you."

Liang Chongyue sat on the Arhat bed and watched Minglang kowtow to her. Minglang was her only child, and the entire country would eventually belong to her. This was just an appetizer.

"Alright, hurry up and catch your man. If you're any later, he'll be taken away by the Minister of Personnel."

Liang Chongyue knew Lou Xiao's character very well. Once he found out that it was Fan Hun who had moved his people and bribed his people to slander Ming Lang in his name, Lou Xiao would go straight to the Ministry of Revenue and take Fan Hun out.

It is not impossible that he would execute her first and report to her later, and then come to her to apologize after obtaining Fan Hun's confession.

"Yes, I will go right away."

Minglang hurried out of the Yangxin Palace. Fan Hun had committed a serious crime, and even Lord Lou wanted to arrest her. She had to be quick. If this person fell into Lord Lou's hands, he would probably be out of breath before she could catch him.

Liang Chongyue turned around to look at Minglang's back as he walked away, and smiled silently.

At this time, there were a few birds singing from the window, and not long after, a dark shadow walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, Fan Hun seems to be trying to escape."

Liang Chongyue took the secret report sent by Qingyu Pavilion, which stated that Fan Hun had taken leave from the Ministry of Revenue today. After returning home, he hurriedly changed out of his official uniform and rode towards the city gate.

Liang Chongyue burned the secret letter and gently turned his neck, which was a little stiff from sitting for a long time.

"Never mind him, Minglang and Lou Xiao won't let him go."

Liang Chongyue stood up from the Arhat bed, put the jade nib she was playing with back on her wrist, and walked towards the dragon table in the outer hall.

He picked out two from the small tripod that contained a pile of scrolls beside the dragon table and stuffed them into Fei He's hands.

"You and Chi Rong will lead two teams and follow the instructions above to destroy Fan Hun's lair. Register all the items and send them back to the capital."

That old fellow Fan Hun hid all his things outside, and the Fan Mansion in the capital was just an empty shell.

Fei He took the scroll handed to him by His Majesty and understood that His Majesty was about to close the net.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

After Fei He left, Liang Chongyue slowly walked to the dragon throne, sat down, and started today's work.

"Host, aren't you leaving Fan Hun's private property to Minglang to investigate? That's quite a feat."

The system is puzzled. Doesn’t the host want to add more political achievements for Minglang before her coming-of-age ceremony?

This is such a good opportunity, and everything has been investigated clearly. Wouldn't it be the same whether to give it to Minglang or Feihe?

It's just that someone else helped the host to return all those things.

Liang Chongyue did not stop reviewing the memorials, and the only response to the system was the sound of the memorials being thrown to the ground.

"Minglang wasn't fast enough. She took down Fan Baojun the day the bird came. Fan Hun was a man of that temperament, so how could Fan Baojun withstand such a beating?

If she hadn't waited for the bird to fly away today and had asked for my permission to arrest Fan Hun tonight, she wouldn't have brought more than just these things today. There's no guarantee that Fan Hun would be unable to withstand the torture of the Ministry of Justice and would reveal at least two hiding places."

"If you're one step behind, you can't blame me for getting there first. I've been waiting for her for days."

It is not a good thing to be successful all the time. No one can be successful all the time in his life. The earlier you suffer losses and learn more lessons, the less detours you will take in the future.

"If Minglang goes after Fan Hun now, he'll run into Fei He and the others at the city gate. Won't Minglang become suspicious?"

"Of course, but she has to take care of one."

Lou Xiao would rather kill someone by mistake than let the criminal go, so his speed is not much slower than Minglang's.

If she saw Fei He and Chi Rong leaving the city at the gate, she might be caught up by Lou Xiao if she hesitated for a moment longer.

By then, he would be left with nothing, and the fat meat that was right in front of him would have slipped away. Even if the Spring Examination was successfully concluded, for Yu Minglang, this political achievement would still be a loss.

The system is very clear about the host's strength. After all, the host has lived two lives. No matter how hard Minglang studies, he is still like a rookie in front of the host and is no match for the host.

"Don't look so sad. Didn't I give her an army of 5,000 men? They are the best of the best."

Thinking of the 5,000 elite soldiers, the system smiled awkwardly and felt even more distressed for Minglang.

When she first got the token, she must have thought it was the host's affirmation of her, but she didn't expect it to be compensation.

I hope Minglang will think it through and not cry when he meets Fei He and Chi Rong at the city gate.

"The imperial examination is almost over. How are you keeping an eye on the post station?"

The system, still immersed in sympathy for Minglang, was touched by the host and immediately stood up and moved away from the host.

It should first sympathize with itself. The grass outside has grown and it has no time to go out and play.

Liang Chongyue threw over another memorial about leaking the exam questions. These people really thought they were lucky.

The imperial court paid them a lot of salaries every year, and they were all blinded by money and worked for Fan Hun, and they couldn't even tell who their master was.

When Liang Chongyue saw the memorial submitted by the Ministry of Revenue regarding the leaked questions of the Spring Examination, he sneered and threw it aside without mixing it with the other memorials on the ground.

Today is the last day of the Spring Examination. Fan Hun doesn't have many people to use, so he starts to use his own people?

Thinking of the treasures that Fan Hun had embezzled and seen on the system panel, Minglang’s political achievements were indeed not small. But at the same time, Fan Hun was so corrupt that it took more than ten years for him to be caught. There were too many murders and lawsuits behind him.

It seemed that she, as the emperor, was somewhat incompetent. If Fan Hun had not revealed his true colors this time, she might not have been able to get the system to investigate him, let alone discover his corruption.

She was planning to add more political achievements for Minglang before her coming-of-age ceremony, but it was not yet time for her to add to Minglang's reputation with her own saintly reputation.

Only when she is well can the bright future be better.
