Li Ergou was beaten black and blue. Two of the guards carried him out of the city gate and warned him.

"Beggar, you'd better not show up again, otherwise I'll beat you up every time I see you."

Li Ergou stumbled to his feet from the ground, covering his wound. He gritted his teeth and glared at the two guards fiercely, as if he wanted to remember their appearance so that he could take revenge on them in the future.

"Do you know who I am? I am Lin Lin's husband. She will definitely come with me. You lowly things dare to hit me. I..."

Before Li Ergou could finish his words, two guards beat him up again, causing him to talk nonsense.

"You're so lowly, aren't you? I'll beat you to death, you lowly beggar..."

The two guards knocked Li Ergou unconscious and threw him outside the city gate. They had been with the lady for so long, and they knew what she meant with just one look.

Now the harder they beat this man, the happier the lady was.

When Li Ergou woke up again, it was dark and he cursed inwardly.

"Okay, Lin Lin, now that you've climbed up the social ladder, you don't recognize me anymore. If I'm not doing well, then neither should you."

Sitting in the corner, watching people coming and going, there were two people dressed as businessmen next to him, and they suddenly started talking about Lin Lin.

At this moment, Li Ergou immediately pricked up his ears. The more he knew about Lin Lin, the better.

"Brother Du, do you know Madam Qu? She's a really responsible person. Let me tell you, there was once a problem with the goods I bought from her, and she immediately rushed over to help me solve it."

The other person finished the tea in his hand and nodded.

"I know the Madam Qu you're talking about. She's very good at business. For people like us who run small businesses, it's harder than climbing to the sky to meet her.

But if there is a problem with the goods, she will always come to solve it personally."

The two businessmen immediately started joking: "Brother Du, if we can't see this lady next time and we want to discuss some business with her, do you think it would be much easier to lure her over using this method?"

The two laughed: "Hahahaha... Brother, your bad idea is bad but effective, hahaha..."

Li Ergou's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled evilly.

If he suddenly went to see Lin Lin today, she would definitely be on guard against him, and the way he confessed would not be able to move Lin Lin at all.

This time, he had to use a more direct method. He didn't believe that Qu Yuanxun would still want a woman who was having an affair outside.

As long as Qu Yuanxun divorced Lin Lin, he would be the only one willing to accept her. In this way, all of Lin Lin's money and the farm would be his.

You have to fight for your own destiny, and Li Ergou decided to do just that.

In Qu's residence, Lin Lin was removing her makeup in front of a bronze mirror when Xiaofeng walked in to report.

"Ma'am, it's done."

Lin Lin nodded. Li Ergou was seeking his own death. Even if a god came, he couldn't save him.

"I see. Master, haven't you come back yet?"

"Master Qu hasn't returned yet. The kitchen has already cooked porridge as Madam instructed, waiting for you to drink when you return."

Something big happened in the Ministry of Revenue, and Qu Yuanxun has been busy with the affairs of the Ministry. Both of them know in their hearts that Qu Yuanxun is the only person who can take charge of the Ministry of Revenue this time.

When the Minister of Revenue is brought to justice, the position of Minister will become vacant, and Qu Yuanxun may be the most suitable candidate.

At this critical moment, Lin Lin didn't want to distract him even if something big happened.

"I see. Bring the little prince over here for me to see."

Xiaofeng went downstairs and asked the nanny to bring Qu Kangle in to Lin Lin.

Lin Lin looked at her youngest son, who was chubby and had already started to learn to look up and smile.

"Xiao Kangle, I haven't seen you for a day. Do you miss your mother?"

Xiao Feng: "Madam, look, the young master is smiling."

Lin Lin teased her son, and he would laugh as soon as he heard Lin Lin's voice, making the whole room full of joy.

The next day, Lin Lin heard the good news when she woke up. Xiaofeng asked someone to prepare breakfast for Lin Lin.

Lin Lin asked Xiaofeng beside her while eating.

"Xiaofeng, is there any progress on what happened last night?"

"Madam, Li Ergou burned a cart of clothes that was to be sent to the army at the border town last night, and was caught on the spot by the soldiers transporting them.

He disturbed military affairs and was punished according to military law. He was beheaded on the spot."

Li Ergou couldn't figure it out until his death. If he didn't destroy the goods sold by Lin Lin, would she come to deal with it?

He thought that he could knock Lin Lin unconscious and take her away in the middle of the night, but he never expected that Lin Lin did not come, and what was waiting for him was the soldiers' swords.

"He deserved to die. By the way, today I'll give the burned cart of clothes to the leading officers and soldiers. Just say I couldn't bear to see him punished, so I helped him."

As soon as Lin Lin took action, the leading soldier over there owed her a big favor, and Li Ergou was also dealt with.

Whatever it is, it's good for her.

At the Ministry of Revenue, the emperor replaced most of the people. Within two days, things that originally belonged to the national treasury were found in the homes of many ministers.

He demoted those who were in office and confiscated the property of three corrupt officials from Dongxia. Over the years, he had made these corrupt officials very wealthy, and one of them was even left to the emperor by the previous emperor.

The purpose is that one day, when the country needs him, this corrupt official will be killed.

There was a major reshuffle of officials in the Ministry of Revenue, and Qu Yuanxun naturally became the Minister of Revenue.

The emperor not only dealt with the previous dynasty, but also the harem.

The chief eunuch came straight to Yanshun Palace with the imperial edict in his hand.

Before they arrived at Yanshun Palace, Concubine Xian and the Seventh Prince received the news, and Concubine Xian tore the letter in her hand to pieces.

"Didn't I tell you to hide the gold? You actually let His Majesty's men find it, Xiao Chu. You've ruined all the plans I made for you."

Xiao Chudu hid the silver in a pawnshop. He didn't know why his father found it, and the pawnshop was run by someone trusted by Concubine Xian.

"Mother, the Emperor must have known about the gold matter a long time ago. The Ministry of Revenue was too ruthless in this matter. The Emperor must have used this as an excuse to punish us.

Mother, there is still room for reversal in this matter. Father will not do anything to us because of this."

The court and the border town are in chaos, and he is the only prince in the court who can manage affairs. If he attacks him again, Xiluo will definitely get the news, and his father will not want to make the royal family chaotic.

"Stupid, why would I want someone as stupid as you to be my son? Do you think everything will be fine just because your father won't do anything to you?

You are being punished, while Xiao Jingchuan is fighting against Xi Luo and making meritorious deeds. The people in the six ministries of the imperial court are not stupid. Do you think they can't judge people?"

Xiao Chu was panicked, but what could he do? No matter what, he would listen to Concubine Xian. He was used to relying on Concubine Xian.

"Mother, what should I do? Please teach me!"

Concubine Xian wanted to slap Xiao Chu to death. She was so disappointed with her son.

"Anyway, Chu'er, remember, the throne of Dongxia Kingdom is only for you. Promise your mother that you will do it no matter what method or means you use.

One day in the future, even if it means stepping on your father's corpse, you must take that position for me, otherwise, the fate of both of us will be death."
