Shangqing Palace,
The empress looked at Yang Dong who looked tired, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Xiao Dongzi, it's only been one night, why are you so tired?"
"Can you do it or not?"
Yang Dong looked bitter and said:
"Your Majesty, it's really not my fault."
"After working all night long, Your Majesty should be able to guess how tired you are!"
A blush flashed across the empress's majestic cheeks and disappeared immediately.
"Xiao Dongzi, if you dare to speak openly again, I will cut out your tongue!"
Yang Dong immediately raised his hands and bowed, showing a very good attitude in admitting his mistake.
When the empress saw this, she was no longer angry and started talking about business.
"Xiao Dongzi, I saw you right. As you expected, the food and grass in the suburbs of Beijing were attacked by bandits last night."
"Fortunately, I moved the food and grass in advance, so there was no loss."
"After a night of interrogation, they revealed the person behind it."
After hearing this, Yang Dong immediately became interested.
"It seems like I was right."
"I think the people behind these thieves should be Lin Chunqiu's men."
"Your Majesty, has the person behind the scenes been caught?"
The empress shook her head slightly, and a trace of gloom flashed on her majestic cheeks.
"After Qingniao asked who was behind the scenes, he immediately went to his home."
"But the man behind the scenes has hanged himself long ago..."
When Yang Dong heard this, his expression froze slightly.
The other party acted so quickly!
He is also ruthless and never sloppy.
It is not easy for such an enemy to catch him.
It's such a shame, opportunities like this don't come around very often.
The empress obviously knew this, and after sighing softly, she said:
"However, this operation is not without success. At least we can use this matter as an excuse to investigate the Household Department."
"Besides, these grains and grass can be considered as a solution to an urgent need."
Yang Dong nodded slightly, and the strong feeling of fatigue made him unable to hold back and yawned.
The empress couldn't help but feel a little sorry when she saw how tired he was.
Revenge against the Queen is important, but it cannot really tire Yang Dong to death.
So she said calmly:
"That's all, since you're tired, go back and rest."
"After you wake up, remember to visit the West Factory."
…
Lin Mansion, Bamboo Garden.
Lin Chunqiu held the hatchet in his hand, and with one swing of the knife, he cut off a green bamboo as thick as a bowl.
"So, you have stepped directly into the emperor's trap?"
"Not to mention that the food and grass were not burned, all the people's hands were folded in."
"That little official from the Ministry of Finance also lost his life because of you?"
Hu Guang's face was pale, and his legs were trembling.
Naturally, he did not dare to say that the operation failed because Lin Chunqiu gave him the wrong address.
So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said:
"Master Lin, I realized that I was wrong. This operation failed and the responsibility lies with me."
"It's just that Mr. Lin, I think that the person who arranged this plan is thoughtful and quick in action. It doesn't look like it was done by His Majesty."
Lin Chunqiu ignored him and chopped down another green bamboo tree with the hatchet.
"There is indeed something strange about this matter, let me think about it..."
"Lin Qi, have you found out the background of that little eunuch?"
Deep in the bamboo forest, Lin Qiyin's pitiful voice came out again.
"For the record, head of the family, this Yang Dong is the young eunuch who stayed in the palace when the late emperor was here."
"He grew up in the palace. He has no abilities and has never been reused."
"But it is said that Yang Dong is very handsome, so he stayed with the emperor."
"My subordinates believe that such a small person is not worthy of the family master's attention."
Lin Chunqiu nodded slightly, feeling that he was being suspicious.
So he swung the hatchet again and chopped down a green bamboo as thick as a bowl.
With a "click", the hatchet suddenly broke!
Half of the blade flew out with a whoosh, almost flying against Hu Guang's scalp.
Hu Guang's face suddenly changed, his legs went weak, he knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Sir, please spare my life. I know I was wrong."
"Please, Mr. Chief Assistant, give me another chance. I will definitely not let you down."
From beginning to end, Lin Chunqiu never looked at Hu Guang again.
He casually threw half of the hatchet into his hand and walked towards the bamboo house with a figure-footed step.
"The hatchet doesn't work well. I can't even chop bamboo."
"A hatchet like this is useless if you keep it, it's better to throw it away!"
"What do you think, Mr. Hu?"
Hu Guang kowtowed heavily again until his forehead was bruised and bleeding. Then he said:
"Master Chief Assistant, after all, the hatchet has cut so many bamboos for you. There is no credit, but hard work."
"Please give Chai Dao a chance, Mr. Chief Assistant. Chai Dao will definitely not let you down."
"well!"
A deep sigh came from the bamboo house.
"I'm old, and I have no other wish in this life except cutting down this bamboo forest."
"Master Hu, I'll leave it to you in Luozhou. Don't let me down."
"Don't worry, Lord Chief Assistant!"
…
Three poles in the sun,
Yang Dong finally woke up.
He stretched and felt refreshed and radiant.
With the flow of energy and blood in his body, he felt as if he had endless power.
By the way, the empress seems to have asked me to go to the West Factory.
He immediately got up and was about to go out to wash up, but he saw Chunlan standing at the door, holding a wooden basin in his hand, looking at him timidly.
Yang Dong was still a little wary of Chunlan staying by his side.
After all, she came from the crazy demon girl, so she might have some purpose.
Moreover, the witch madly accused me of poisoning me. Although no clues were found, it is possible that she deliberately deceived me.
But what if the poison is extremely hidden?
Thinking of these, Yang Dong felt irritable.
No, we still have to find a way to ask a famous doctor to take a look at it for me.
This crazy criticizing witch, once I get rid of the poison, I will take care of you!
Because of the above, Yang Dong's attitude towards Chunlan has become much colder.
He just glanced at Chunlan briefly, then turned around and continued walking forward.
"Chunlan, you don't have to be like this."
"I am not lucky enough to bear your service."
"If you are serious, you should return to Kangning Palace as soon as possible."
When Chunlan heard this, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble. She bit her red lips tightly and looked at Yang Dong's retreating back, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes.
She really couldn't understand why Manager Yang, who had called her a "Chunlan girl" yesterday, had become as heartless as a stranger today.
That's all, after all, I thought too much and tried to climb up to the top of Manager Yang.
Chunlan, you deserve it!
Yang Dong didn't know the complicated inner drama of the little palace maid. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to visit the West Factory.
Strictly speaking, this is the first force in his hand.
If you use it well, you will be able to make waves in the future.
When the time comes, wouldn’t it be wonderful to be nine thousand years old?
Wait, I'm not a eunuch, I entered it wrong, it was coded!
At the same time, a green shadow followed quietly behind him.
