The emperor was not actually angry with Qu Zhongyi, he was angry with Zu Shanhe and the others...
"This is a big matter. Please take some of Gu Nei's money out of the treasury. Remember, things must be done neatly."
"I obey the decree." Qu Zhongyi bowed: "It's just the harem..."
"Let me talk about their affairs. There is also the Holy Family. Remember to send an extra copy." The emperor said helplessly.
"Yes, I will go and do it now." Qu Zhongyi stood up and slowly exited the Qinzheng Hall.
Seeing that everyone had left, the anger in the emperor's eyes gradually dissipated. He considered himself a good emperor, but in the end, none of these ministers made him worry!
Outside the palace, when Qu Zhongyi came out, Ge Li bowed respectfully.
"Prime Minister, what should we do?" Ge Li asked in a low voice.
"Kill!" Qu Zhongyi said.
"Understood, I will write the accounts as before." Gurley said.
"No, you can write again after you copy He Yi!" Qu Zhongyi said.
"Your Majesty wants to replenish the internal treasury?"
Ge Li was confused. He felt that the emperor was a little greedy, even more greedy than them!
"There is no way, who made this the emperor!" Qu Zhongyi sighed, and then left the palace...
Ge Li was stunned on the spot. He felt that there was something in his words... but he still couldn't figure out the exact meaning of Qu Zhongyi's words...

capital ancestral mansion
When Zu Shanhe came back, Cao Qing was already sitting in the main hall waiting for him.
Zu Shanhe created a barrier and sighed: "The big fish ran away, and the small fish died!"
"Then why are you still looking so sad? Besides, that guy already explained everything in his letter." Cao Qing said disapprovingly.
"You haven't seen the faces in the court, they are all the same!" Zu Shanhe was angry.
"You... you're so stupid in reading!" Cao Qing shook his head and smiled helplessly: "How could I not know? Why am I alive to this day? Don't I know better than you? Ever since Zhao Kuangyu came to power, I have guessed that there will be something like this one day!"
Zhao Kuangyu is the current emperor and the former King of Jin!
"You mean..."
"You just need to know it yourself." Cao Qing nodded and admitted: "There are still three people who know about this matter. I only know some information, but I don't know much about the others..."
"Alas" Zu Shanhe sighed: "There is no good person in Qintian Prison. He knows that it is a disaster, but he insists on doing this!"
"If it were me, I would make the same choice. I just want to protect myself. I understand!"
"But what should the people do? What should we do with this Great Yan?" Zu Shanhe asked with some sullenness.
"I can't answer your question. I'm just an old man now." Cao Qing picked up the tea cup and said with a smile.
Zu Shanhe shook his head and smiled bitterly. He felt that Cao Qinghuo was still free and happy...
"By the way, when should we set off?" Cao Qing asked, putting down his tea cup.
"Tomorrow, just in time to catch up with the news that He Yi has been captured." Zu Shanhe replied.
"Okay, then I'll prepare a gift, just in time for that boy to write another poem!"
Watching Cao Qing strode away, Zu Shanhe also returned to the study...
…
Early next morning
The news that He Yi was imprisoned was like fireworks exploding, and the entire Nanfeng Prefecture was alarmed.
At this time, officials and families who wanted to distance themselves from He Yi also jumped out to identify He Yi.
Nanfeng Prefecture Governor's Office
When Wang Peng saw the contents of the memorial, his back was almost wet with sweat. Fortunately, he was greedy for money and did not get too close to He Yi. Want to do it.
"Lord Governor, is the message sent by my subordinates quite timely?" Mo Dongsheng asked with a smile and cupped his hands.
"Brother Mo, it's all thanks to you, otherwise, my position would be gone."
Wang Peng stood up and came to Mo Dongsheng with a smile, grabbed Mo Dongsheng's hand, and thanked him as if he was asking for no money.
"Sir, please rest assured. As long as you release all the Zhou clan members, you will not only get money, but your status will also increase!" Mo Dongsheng whispered into Wang Peng's ear.
"Brother Mo, please don't worry." Wang Peng said with a smile: "I already have a plan. I believe that the Zhou family's children will be able to return to Shanyu County in two hours."
"Your Majesty's talent will be admired by my subordinates. If there is any such news in the court, I will inform you as soon as possible." Mo Dongsheng raised his hand and complimented.
"Okay, then I'll be right here. Thank you, Brother Mo."
Wang Peng sent Mo Dongsheng away with a smile. When Mo Dongsheng disappeared completely, his face suddenly turned angry.
"Where is Lu Ming!" Wang Peng shouted loudly.
"The humble position is here!"
Lu Ming walked out of the side hall and bowed respectfully.
"If Qian Tong and his family are imprisoned, this person will never be allowed to stay!"
"Yes, I will go now!"
Lu Ming ran out of the governor's house and headed towards the Qian family.
Qiantong, Qiantong! Don't blame me for being cruel. If you die, only the rest of us can live!
Wang Peng looked at the sky, and his face suddenly turned cloudy.
What Wang Peng didn't know was that when Lu Ming arrived at Qian's house, Qian Tong had already disappeared with his wife and children...

Xu Mansion, Zheyang County
When Xu Maocai and others learned the news, they all called out. After the calling ended, they turned their attention to Xu Que.
"Nephew, auntie, thank you on behalf of the Zhou family." Although Mrs. Zhou was crying, she was happy.
"Cousin, I... looked down on you before, but it's different now. You are better than me. I..."
"Auntie, we are a family. Since we are a family, we must help each other, so that everything in the family can be prosperous." Xu Que smiled and patted Xu Hu on the shoulder: "Second cousin, what happened in the past, I Have forgotten that from today on, our Xu family only has brothers and sisters!"
"good!"
Xu Hu immediately agreed. He felt that Xu Que at this moment was definitely his role model.
In fact, what he didn't know was that Xu Que had actually forgotten it, because when he passed through, the original owner was already cold... The scattered memory fragments were really dispensable...
Xu Maocai and Uncle Liu nodded with satisfaction, this is what the Xu family needs!
Suddenly, two "haha" laughing sounds sounded above the Xu Mansion.
Xu Maocai, who originally wanted to say something, immediately ran out with Uncle Liu. When they saw the person clearly, they immediately clasped their fists and saluted respectfully.
"I've met two seniors..."
"Yes, the Xu family is all good!" Cao Qing looked at Xu Maocai with satisfaction.
Just when the two of them landed in the courtyard of Xu Mansion, Xu Fan and others also came out. When they saw Shan He, the great Confucian ancestor, everyone immediately bowed to him.
"I've met two seniors..."
"Okay, everything is good." Zu Shanhe nodded with satisfaction and his eyes fell on Xu Que.
"I said, why don't you call me grandpa? My good grandson-in-law!" Cao Qing looked at Xu Que and asked.
ah? Grandson-in-law?
Everyone was shocked and all looked at Xu Que. They had question marks on their faces at this moment...
"Hehe." Xu Que scratched his head with a silly smile and explained: "We haven't married yet, so we can't count."
"Hey! You brat, how come the conditions you agreed to don't count?" Cao Qing looked unhappy and grabbed Xu Que's ear and asked.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
Xu Que's eyes twitched, why did he do it now?
"Mr. Cao, I don't know what's going on?" Xu Maocai hurriedly stepped forward to ask, but looked at Xu Que with a hint of anger.
Cao Qing didn't care and directly told what happened in the capital exactly...
After hearing Cao Qing's story, everyone looked at Xu Que in shock. None of them could have imagined that a child of seventeen or eighteen years old could stir up troubles and even destroy Mingde Tower!
Zhou and Xu Hu were the most shocked. They thought Xu Que had performed very well this time, but this result...
"Guizi, why did you tell me about this important marriage event in advance?" Xu Maocai asked with a hint of anger.
"We were busy at that time. Besides, our two families have no military power now. Do you still care about this?" Xu Que explained with a sneer on his face.
Hearing Xu Que's words, Xu Mao finally remembered that none of them had military power now, and what his father was worried about at that time was long gone. This...
