Yue Yang raised his eyes:

"Second Brother, I don't want to lie to you.

"

King Yu frowned,

"Fourth brother, there are thousands of women in this world. There will always be ones that suit you better than Yunyao. Just listen to second brother's advice and break off contact with Mu Yunyao.

"

Yue Yang shook his head:

"Second brother, it's already too late.

"

King Yu opened his mouth in shock, his eyes filled with shock.

"What is it late? Could it be that you've already …

"

Yue Yang hurriedly shook his head:

"Where did second brother go? Yun Yao and I are in deep love, so there's no need to stand on ceremony.

"

King Yu heaved a sigh of relief,

"You scared me to death. Why are you so late?

" He had just thought that his fourth brother had been hanged and beaten by the princess of Yedd.

"There are some things that, once you place it in your heart, will firmly take root and sprout, never to be cleaned up again.

" Furthermore, he did not plan on doing it out of affection.

"But Father …

"

"Don't worry, second brother, I will think of a way to deal with it.

"Also, you came at the right time. A few days ago, I heard some news about you. Earlier, Grand Commandant Zou Min, who is in charge of assessing the official's achievements, secretly received quite a few bribes. Is Second Brother in the mood to deal with this person?

"

"Zou Min?

" King Yu narrowed his eyes slightly,

"Previously, he was old enemies with the Min family and later, he repeatedly targeted my future father-in-law, Lord Min. Now, he finally revealed his fox tail. Fourth brother, is this news true?

"

"It's true.

"

King Yu revealed a sneer,

"Fourth brother, leave this matter to me. I will definitely make that crafty old fellow Zou Min suffer. The achievements of the examiners is something that royal father values the most. For him to dare tamper with this matter, he must be tired of living.

"

"The matter was exposed by a supervisor from outside the sect. Before this person's paper could even enter the capital, it was intercepted. Fortunately, my man found it and saved the person who delivered the paper.

"One bite.

"

"Yes. Don't worry, Fourth Brother. I know what to do.

" After King Yu finished rejoicing, his expression suddenly stiffened,

"Didn't you just say something about you and Yunyao?

"How come it's Zou Min again?

"

"Second brother, you understand my personality. The things that I decide will not be changed.

" King Yu wanted to continue persuading him, but when he opened his mouth and saw Wang Yue's resolute expression, he swallowed the words that were on his lips:

"When I was in the Cold Palace, I would often climb over the wall to see you. At that time, you were slim, but your temper was even bigger than mine, and it took you nearly half a year to speak to me. When you left the cold palace and were assigned to the west of Guangdong, I thought you would sharpen your character a bit and speak softly to my Imperial Father. I didn't expect you would stay in the west of Guangdong for such a long time …

Suddenly … Forget it, since you have made up your mind, I will not try to persuade you anymore. It is royal father who needs to think of a solution as soon as possible.

"Yes, thank you second brother for your reminder.

"

"Okay, in fact, putting aside the level of blood ties, you and Yunyao are extremely compatible, but you're still lacking compared to Fang Hua and me.

"

"Second Brother only dares to say these words in front of me. When it really comes to Miss Min's place, you don't even dare to breathe loudly.

"

King Yu almost jumped up.

"Who said that? If I hadn't been worried about this, I wouldn't have felt so wronged. However, when your second sister-in-law passes away, I won't be afraid. Once she marries into the royal family, there will be no chance for her to go back on her words.

"Heh heh...

"

King Yue looked at King Yu with envy in his heart. When, could he be so fair and square with Yun Yao?

In mid-February, as the weather grew hotter, the Imperial Court turned into a pot of boiling water over the case of Grand Commandant Zou Min. Normally, an official who was greedy and disrespectful would not cause such a commotion even if he was a first rank official. However, Zou Min's timing for being disrespectful and accepting bribes was too ingenious. As a result, who knew how many officials were trembling in fear of falling into the trap …

In this muddy water.

Before Zou Min could even get close to him, she was sent straight to the prison by King Yu's lightning-fast methods. Within a short period of time, King Yu had gathered all of the officials reporting Zou Min's insolence, found out who had intercepted the report, and dragged them and the evidence directly to the Golden Hall. After the Emperor heard the cause and effect of the matter, he became extremely furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation. In addition, he also found all kinds of rare and precious antiques, jade beads, and accessories. He heard that Zou Min was extremely secretive with her silver taels, to the point that she actually took out all of the silver taels and precious items …

Xidu hid in his concubine's courtyard. If it wasn't for the official search being done meticulously, he would have really missed it. Once the case was announced, the imperial court became particularly lively. Before the officials could react, the King's Censor led the people to investigate, Yang Lian of the two rivers. The emperor was furious after hearing what Lei Lei had said. All the officials that were involved in the political and administrative assessment were classified as part of the B category. Although it was shocking, it was not to the point of being shocking to the point of listening …

According to the rumors, Yang Lian's political record was an upper-tier one, and it could even be said that his political record was quite impressive. If his evaluation was obtained through bribery, then this political score assessment would be a complete joke.

When Yang Lian heard the news, he immediately forgot about it. Taking advantage of the dark night, he directly went to the Jin Mansion. He kept a low profile and tried his best to fool others, but he did not know that his actions were being observed by the people outside.

Hearing that Yang Lian had come to visit, Prince Jin's face darkened,

"Let him in.

"

Upon entering, Yang Lian immediately knelt on the ground,

"Your Highness, you must save me.

"

"Didn't you say that nothing would go wrong? Hadn't they already made preparations?

"Why is there still someone who has a clue about you?

"

Yang Lian looked troubled.

"Since Zou Min accepted the gift, this official has to leave a certificate. Otherwise, if Zou Min goes back on her word, wouldn't the money have gone to waste?

"

"You …

"Even if you want to leave a proof, you should at least keep it properly. How did it end up in someone else's hands?

" I also didn't expect that the personal servant who has followed me for so many years would have thoughts of betraying me,

"Yang Lian's expression was terrified,

" Your Highness, the evidence has already been taken away, so this humble subject can only come to you to seek help. If you don't care about me, then I really have no way out.

"At this time …

"

Prince Jin's gaze turned sharp,

"Are you threatening this king?

" Who would have thought that they would actually use salt tax silver to bribe me? Furthermore, they had me present the tax silver to you, and spending the silver is equivalent to tying it to the salt merchants. Now that this ship has been exposed, we are about to set sail, if we don't make up for the loophole as soon as possible, we will all die in the river.
