"It is a rule that has been passed down for more than a hundred years that everything that has been searched by the Jing Zhao Estate is sealed away." It is a rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years that everything that has been searched by the Jing Zhao Estate is sealed up by the Jing Zhao Estate. Although Wei Jingcheng seemed polite, he was actually quite tough.

"And if I must take it?"

"Unless there is an edict from His Majesty, otherwise … "Please forgive me for my bluntness, but let alone ten boxes of gold and silver, even if it's just a copper coin, Lord Liu should forget about taking it away." Even though Liu Mingdao's official rank was higher than his, he had no right to control this place, not even a soldier. Otherwise, he wouldn't need to borrow the strength of the Jing Zhao Estate to search this place, so Wei Jingcheng wasn't afraid of him at all.

"You!" Liu Mingdao was so angry that he couldn't speak. After a long while, he flung his sleeves and angrily said, "Fine, I'll go see His Majesty right now and get the written orders. You'll be the one to ask for the missing gold and silver!"

"This official will definitely keep a close watch." After watching Liu Mingdao leave, Wei Jingcheng gloomily called Master Liu, who had followed him here, "Prepare a palanquin. I want to enter the palace immediately. As for the ten chests of gold and silver, bring them back to the Jing Zhao Estate. They must be strictly guarded."

Grand Master Liu knew that the situation was urgent and hastily prepared a sedan chair as he instructed. As soon as Wei Jingcheng took his seat, the four sedan bearers carried the sedan chair and headed towards the Palace of Brilliance.

Wei Jingcheng, who had been anxious to enter the palace, didn't know of his whereabouts. Both Dongfang Qing and Mu Qianxue, who were standing at the corner of the alley, saw him.

"Do you think he went to the palace to see his imperial brother or his mother?"

Mu Qianxue, who was dressed in soft and silky clothes, looked at the palanquin in the distance and said with a smile, "No matter which one he sees, she won't be able to save Wei Wenbin."

Dongfang Gu said with his hands behind his back, "You personally set up this trap. How could they possibly be able to solve it? I was just worried …"

Mu Qianxue asked with a smile, "Are you worried that the empress dowager will not let this matter rest?"

"Yes." "You know better than I do how my Imperial Mother is. If you want her to stop, it will be very difficult."

"I know, so I've prepared a big gift for her." Mu Qianxue walked shoulder to shoulder with him in a quiet alley. On both sides of the stone slab, wild chrysanthemum flowers grew on the soil, exuding a cool and clear fragrance.

"Big gift?" Dongfang Gu stopped in surprise.

Mu Qianxue bent over and broke a yellow daisy, playing with it in her hand. With a smile that was not a smile, she said, "Your highness wouldn't think that Wei Wenbin is the only one from the Wei clan who collects and collects money, right?"

Dongfang Qin was silent for a moment before he asked, "What did you find out?"

Mu Qianxue sighed lightly. "All these years, the Wei clan has relied on the support of Empress Dowager Wei and Emperor Zhou to commit heinous crimes in every place, occupy good lands, bully the common people, and even forcibly rob the women of good families. The common people are all either angry or have no place to declare their wrongs; Wei Wenbin's ten boxes of gold and silver really can't be considered as anything in comparison."

"Why does the magistrate never play?"

Mu Qianxue shook her head. "Your Highness, you forgot about Jiang Yue so quickly? Being unintimate is equivalent to becoming enemies with the Wei family. They would lose their lives at any time, how would they dare? "

"I was immersed in military affairs before and rarely asked about the imperial court. I didn't expect that there would be so much darkness hidden inside. Imperial Brother …" He shook his head, his face filled with disappointment. The more he knew, the more disappointed he was by those two from the Palace of Brilliance.

"Actually, this matter was investigated by Nineteen and them a month ago. Wei Wenbin could be considered to be an accident and there are only two cases where the evidence is conclusive. I have already arranged for people to escort them into the capital to report the matter." "If you want to win, you have to remove all of the Wei family's infiltrating claws and fangs from the Zhou Dynasty. Then, you have to set your mind at ease and take care of those officials who are capable of supporting us, such as Yang, Jiang Yue and Wei Wenbin. If there are no mishaps, Yang and the others will take over the post of the head of the Board of Justice, and at that time, we can have him speak up and transfer Jiang Yue back to the Board of Punishments."

"I understand what you mean, but …" "Mother is already suspicious of you. Once she discovers that you're the one who's secretly controlling everything, with her methods, she definitely won't let you off."

Mu Qianxue smiled and said, "I know, but this is the only path we can take, right?"

"I always thought that I would be able to protect you from harm once I came to North Zhou, but I didn't expect that I would need you to protect me instead. Qianxue, am I very useless?"

The sadness and helplessness in the depths of his eyes made Mu Qianxue's heart ache. He consoled, "Your highness galloped across the battlefield to repel the invasion of Dong Ling, then travelled to the west to save Qianxue in the midst of danger. He is a man of indomitable spirit, how could he be useless? He smiled and said, "Qianxue knows that no matter what danger you encounter, Prince will do everything in his power to protect you."

Dong Fang He looked at her fixedly as the leaves on the ground were swept up by the autumn wind and thrown onto his body. After a long time, he said hoarsely, "Yes, even if I have to make an enemy of the entire world, I will protect you thoroughly!"

Mu Qianxue raised her head, the clouds and clouds reflected in her clear and gentle eyes. "It's enough to have your words, Your Highness."

Enough... Yes, as long as you are happy and safe, I will be satisfied for life!

Wei Jingcheng hurried along the way and finally entered the palace before Liu Mingdao. When he saw Dong Fang, he quickly told him everything.

At first, Dong Fang was still listening to the imperial edict, but when he reached the end, he couldn't read any of the words on the imperial edict anymore.

"Although this humble subject has withheld ten boxes of gold and silver, Censor Liu will definitely not let it go. If it really is Vice Minister Wei's money, this can't be..." What should I do? "

Before Wei Jingcheng could finish his words, a court lady came in and said in a low voice, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Left Deputy Censor Liu Mingdao requests an audience."

Dongfang Ru rubbed the pen in his hand, but didn't say anything. Wynn understood his thoughts the best. He said to the palace maid, "Tell him that His Majesty is taking an afternoon nap, and that he should come back tomorrow."

The palace maid looked towards Dongfang Chonglou, but seeing him nod his head, she bowed and left. After a while, she walked back in, a little embarrassed. "Your Majesty, this servant has followed Manager Huai's instructions, but he insisted on waiting outside and refused to leave."

Wynn frowned, bent over and said, "Your Majesty, this old servant will send him away."

"No need, he's willing to wait." As he said that, he rolled his eyes and looked at Wei Jingcheng, who was still standing below, "You just said that Wei Wenbin personally told Liu Mingdao about taking bribes?"
