Yun Kingdom Palace, in the Yangxin Hall.

Xiao Cheng looked at the three secret reports in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

One came from Changning County. It was sent by Dongchang Fanzi, who had been secretly cleaned up by Feng Bao and had regained his loyalty. A few days ago, someone in the county had transported a large amount of supplies out of the city from the treasury.

One came from the southwest of Xia Kingdom and was sent back quickly by Fanzi sent by Ju Meng from Shang Yu's backup office. The report contained information about King Qi's sudden acquisition of a large amount of supplies from Changning County.

These two pieces of information obviously talk about the same thing.

There is another copy, from Jianchang Prefecture, sent by Cheng Bushi. Regarding the supervisory censor Hai Rui, the situation is quite difficult now that officials from Jianchang Prefecture who are from the border army have been offended.

Xiao Cheng tapped the imperial desk with his fingers, a look of deep thought appeared on his face, and he suddenly said:

"What did you find over there?"

Feng Bao on the side heard this and quickly bowed:

"Back to Your Majesty, Shangshu ordered Qu Cheng and his family to be monitored by the servants. But until now, nothing has been found. Qu Jing, the son of the Qu family, is now a minor official in the Li Cao, and he usually spends his time socializing.

Colleagues..."

Having said this, Feng Bao suddenly paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Besides that, this young master of the Qu family has an outhouse."

When Xiao Cheng heard this, his brows tightened and he said in a deep voice:

"Outer room?"

"It's said to be an outhouse, but according to what I've found out now, that woman is actually someone who set up a trap to do 'white money'. Young Master of the Qu family, this is someone who has been tricked. Since her recent past, she has been secretly instigating the relatives around her.

If you sell various things to raise money, you can be more confident."

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he was stunned and frowned:

"What is Bai Tiao?"

When Feng Bao heard this, he quickly explained:

"This so-called 'white throw' is to use women as a trap to lure men into the trap, thereby extorting money."

After saying this, Xiao Cheng understood immediately.

The so-called white throw is the immortal dance!

Suddenly, Xiao Cheng frowned and said in a deep voice:

"The son of the dignified Shang Shuling was actually set up by someone. He is really confused! Have you ever found out who is behind this? He is so courageous!"

Because Xiao Cheng established a new cabinet and selected officials to act as the cabinet to handle state affairs, most of the powers of the Shangshu Ling were taken away.

But as the official head of the officialdom, and the leader of all Cao Shangshu, the Qu family's reputation is not low. Not to mention that because he married a daughter of the Yang family and was related to Xiao Cheng and Ma Tao, his influence was even greater.

very.

With such a family background, those few who dare to do the Immortal Dance are really very courageous!

When Feng Bao heard this, he quickly said:

"Your Majesty does not know that it is precisely because the Qu family is so prestigious that they need more face. Also, the sister of Qu Jing's wife is Yang Zhaoyi, who is quite favored by your Majesty. Qu Jing is even more afraid of being exposed, so she is targeted by those people.

…”

It has to be said that people with a clean and prominent family background and a wife whose natal family is not simple are the best targets for Immortal Tiao.

As long as you are brave enough and firmly grasp the handle, you can indeed get extremely generous rewards in one go.

Speaking of this, Feng Bao quickly continued:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I have already gone to investigate. It's just that those who set up such a situation are always a mixed bag of good and bad, and it is difficult to distinguish, so it will take some time."

At this time, Xiao Cheng's brows furrowed even deeper.

He raised the sticky stick on the imperial case to report the secret, and said in a deep voice:

"If so, did Qu Jing use the influence of the Qu family to collude with Jin Tangfeng to do this because she was tricked and needed money?"

"I'm afraid that's all!"

Qu Cheng obviously didn't know about this.

Otherwise, with Qu Cheng's method, no matter what method he uses, it would be effortless to quietly send away a few people playing fairy dance.

But Xiao Cheng still frowned and whispered:

"That's not right! It's just that a few scumbags who are trying to trick someone into taking advantage of others can't have such a big appetite! Qu Jing is the son of Shangshu Ling, so he can fill this hole by just thinking of any way he can."

This thing about Immortal Dance is destined not to be on the stage. Even if it is blackmail, it will only cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

As the only son of Shangshu Ling, Qu Jing relies on his status to beat the dandies from noble families in Zhongqing City to get some money. Isn't it easy?

As for giving up a great future and cheating on the whole family just for such a small amount of money?

Xiao Cheng lowered his head slightly and looked at the three secret reports in front of him. He pondered for a long time, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered a person.

His voice deepened and he said to Feng Bao:

"Go to the Qu family, the housekeeper named Xiang Shan!"

Feng Bao was a little stunned, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly bowed his head in response.

"Also, what's going on with Shen Wansan?" Xiao Cheng asked again.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Shen Wansan's side is almost ready. Even if Jintang Peak is captured, the manpower deployed secretly will be enough to ensure the continuous transportation of grain and grass supplies!" Feng Bao said quickly.

Xiao Cheng's face was cold and he said in a deep voice:

"If this matter is handled well, I can forget about it!"

"Yes, I will definitely bring the message to you!"

Xiao Cheng waved his hand, and Feng Bao quickly bowed and left.

Looking at the last secret report about Hai Rui in his hand, Xiao Cheng rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, shook his head and said:

"As expected of Hai Rui, he can really cause trouble..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Cheng's eyes suddenly changed and he said in a deep tone:

"However, this is also an opportunity!"

An opportunity to seize the opportunity to eliminate Wang Xiao's last influence!

-------------------

"How come this time?" A deep voice sounded in the dark room.

Xiang Shan sat down, panted slightly and said:

"There is no other way. I have to finish the errands assigned by the Qu family before I can come to see you."

"How did things go?" The figure raised his head slightly, but under the cover of his hood, his appearance could not be seen clearly.

Xiang Shan nodded and said:

"Don't worry. At this time, Hai Rui is still busy in Jianchang Mansion and has no energy to take care of our affairs."

When Xiang Shan said this, he couldn't help but say with a little pride:

"Liu Yu is really capable of being the Minister of Hucao. Under his plan, he immediately provoked Hai Rui to fight with the officials who came from the border army. Hahaha, but even so, I am still waiting for him.

He resorted to deception, and now he still thinks he is doing things for the Qu family!"

It was obvious that Xiang Shan felt quite proud that as a domestic servant, he was able to control the dignitaries of the court.

He stared at Xiang Shan with deep eyes for a moment, and then spoke again:

"You need to be even more cautious at this time. Don't let Liu Yu discover anything! Otherwise, all previous plans will come to nothing."

Hearing this, Xiang Shan smiled even more and said relaxedly:

"Don't worry. Qu Jing's wife is the eldest daughter of the Yang family, and she can be regarded as a relative of the emperor. After being tricked by me, she is now worried about being discovered by her wife, and she has tried her best to raise money to escape. At this time, Qu Jing is as hot as hot.

The ant in the pot has long lost his former rationality. I made up a few lies and said that I could help him raise some money, and he trusted me so much that he didn't have the slightest suspicion. And with your people's cooperation, it would be absolutely impossible

Something went wrong!”

At this time, Xiang Shan seemed to be extremely satisfied, his face was full of energy and he was particularly energetic.

As a domestic slave, he deceived the master's family, and used the master's family's prestige to manipulate high-ranking officials and local officials. This sounds incredible.

But then I thought about it, Xiang Shan is a steward and has worked for the Qu family for many years. Naturally, the Qu family will not doubt him easily, and they can easily set a trap for Qu Jing.

Qu Jing was worried and anxious at this time, so Xiang Shan could naturally take advantage of him. In the name of raising money, it was extremely easy to get Qu Jing's personal seal and sign the letter.

In this way, by relying on the prestige of the Qu family, gaining the trust of high-ranking officials in the DPRK, and colluding with each other, these operations will naturally not be difficult to complete!

"Haha..." The person opposite laughed inexplicably a few times, and then said:

"Okay, as long as things are done, you can join my embroidery envoy as an errand. And your son can also be recommended to be an official with a six hundred stone official body. When he reaches adulthood, he can become an official. You will bring your wife with you when the time comes.

When your children come to my country, Daxia, they will be able to get rid of their white bodies and become officials and officials!"

Upon hearing the promise of the man opposite, Xiang Shan's eyes suddenly flashed with desire.
