n“Second Fool…” the girl said embarrassedly.

n“Huh?”

nYuan Hehe’s eyes were wide open, and he let out a croak. Hearing this, the girl’s face turned green.

n“Why is there the sound of a rooster laying eggs here?” she asked, pretending to be frightened.

n“Where did you hear that?”

nYuan Hehe did not think that the girl was talking about him. He quickly turned around and looked around.

nYou’re such a fool”

nThe girl could not help but laugh.

nYuan Hehe gritted his teeth.

n“I’ll settle the score with this rooster later!”

n“It’s best if I change my name to Cheng Shuangshuang now!” Cheng Shuangshuang narrowed her eyes and pretended to be arrogant.

n“Deal!”

nJiang Ming did not care.

nBack in the palace, Jiang Ming introduced everyone to Cheng Shuangshuang.

nSeeing all kinds of strange people inside, Cheng Shuangshuang could not help but widen her eyes and nod.

nAs expected of His Majesty. She had thought that this person was an idiot. She did not expect him to recruit so many people.

n“Let me in! Let me in quickly!”

nAt this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside the door.

nIt seemed to be Li Nanping.

nJiang Ming was stunned for a moment, then he walked out. The others followed him.

nLi Nanping was wearing coarse linen clothes. They were unlike the luxurious clothes he used to wear. There was only a wooden hairpin on his head.

nWhen he saw Jiang Ming, he shouted.

n“Ning Caichen, return my brother’s life and our throne. This throne is not something you can sit on!”

nHearing Li Nanping’s words, Jiang Ming pretended to find it strange. “I’m the king now. You should address me as such!”

nLi Nanping’s face immediately turned green. Then, he sneered. “Aren’t you Ning Caichen? Don’t put on an act. Hurry up and return the throne to me. Otherwise, I’ll make you beg for death!”

nSikong Wuyuan laughed and guarded Jiang Ming. “Who are you to offend His Majesty? You should know better and leave quickly.”

n“You’re just a commoner now, right? Are you sure you can defeat me? Besides, you have to address me respectfully.”

nJiang Ming followed closely behind.

nLi Nanping was about to explode from anger, but as Jiang Ming had said, he was indeed a commoner with nothing to his name.

nHe gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

nWhen his brother was still alive, he had a group of secret guards. Those secret guards belonged to them and only listened to them.

nHe did not believe that he could not kill Jiang Ming.

nJiang Ming turned around and saw the strange looks of the palace maids. Then, he said, “If anyone dares address me disrespectfully in the future, I’ll kill them!”

nThe palace maids and servants around him were frightened. They knelt down and said loudly, “We will follow your orders.”

nJiang Ming was very satisfied with these people’s attitudes.

nAfter entering the house, Princess Qingmiao secretly praised him.

nHis Majesty’s temperament was simply overwhelming.

nLi Nanping fled in a panic to a run-down temple. The air in the run-down temple was also very turbid, and there was also an inexplicable smell around the premises.

nHe could not help but want to vomit when he smelled it, but there was nothing he could do.

nHe needed help.

nHe took out a glittering flute and began to play it.

nThe sound of the flute quickly attracted a group of secret guards.

nThese secret guards were thin and weak. They did not have any equipment on their bodies, but their eyes were sharp.

n“Are you the secret guards raised by my brother?” Li Nanping was stunned.

nHe had thought that these secret guards would be powerful, but he did not expect them to be so thin.

nThe secret guards felt Li Nanping’s contempt and could not help but sneer. “Before judging us, tell us what to do.”

n“That makes sense. Help me kill the current king.”

nLi Nanping’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

nThe secret guards lowered their heads and accepted the order, then disappeared from where they were. Before they left, they left a tray of meat buns for Li Nanping.

nSeeing the delicious meat buns, Li Nanping pounced on them like a hungry beast. He immediately rushed forward and started wolfing down the food.

nMeanwhile, Jiang Ming began to deal with the memorials.

nAfter dealing with them for a while, he suddenly realized that the person who wrote them seemed to be a little arrogant.

nHe called Zhu Asi over and asked him to help him check on the state of the officials recently.

nLiang Sisi brought some porridge that she had cooked. She happily told Jiang Ming about her father’s preparations, showing that King Liang attached great importance to Jiang Ming.

nJiang Ming did not think much of this belated attention. He nodded lightly to show that he understood.

nLiang Sisi thought that Jiang Ming was unhappy. Then, she said, “I heard that the flowers in the north are blooming. Should we go out and take a look? The market there is prosperous, so we might be able to understand some of the residents’ situations.”

nJiang Ming thought for a moment.

nNow that he was the new king, he indeed had to observe the people’s feelings. Previously, he had only observed the poor.

nSeeing that Jiang Ming was going out, the others followed him.

nThey changed into civilian clothes.

nThere was a street in the north. When Jiang Ming and the others arrived, the people here were already selling snacks.

nJiang Ming did not expect the Xiaguo Kingdom to become like this. It was good that they could still have a lively atmosphere.

nAfter walking around, Jiang Ming did not see any problems with the people. Just as he was about to leave, a child tugged at Jiang Ming and said, “Young Master, if it’s possible, can you give me some silver? I don’t have money to eat anymore. I don’t want to die.”

nJiang Ming gestured to Zhu Asi, who was beside him, to attend to the child. He quickly handed the silver to the child.

n“Thank you.” The child instantly smiled and took the silver. Then, he bowed to Jiang Ming and the others. “Thank you again.”

nAfter walking around, Jiang Ming arrived at the prime minister’s residence in a flash.

nThe prime minister’s residence was very luxurious and glittered with gold. It was obvious that it had a lot of wealth.

nJiang Ming suddenly remembered that in the memorial, the prime minister was the one who remonstrated the most fiercely and had the worst attitude toward him.

nIt seemed that he had to investigate the prime minister.

nWhen it was almost afternoon, Jiang Ming told everyone, “Let’s leave first. It’s getting late. Let’s talk about it later.”

nLooking at the sky, everyone nodded and returned to the palace together.

nAfter dinner, they returned to their respective bedrooms.

nHowever, after washing up, Jiang Ming could not fall asleep.
