Chapter 1136: In the Palm of Your Hand

Shang Luo has indeed grown, but the direction of her growth is probably not the type that people like.

People’s hearts are hidden in their stomachs. No matter who the person is, trust is like a thin wall of glass, which will shake terribly at the slightest disturbance.

Logically speaking, Lu Hanjiang, who promoted people, had no reason and should not doubt his Jinyiwei, but human hearts are such a wonderful thing. Some things will never be taken seriously if they are not spoken out, but once they are exposed -

What you can't avoid can never be avoided.

Lu Hanjiang couldn't hide the urge to sigh. He should be said to be worthy of being that man's child. Just one sentence had caused him so much trouble.

Even though he knew in his heart that such doubt was meaningless and stupid, Lu Hanjiang, who was tied to the dragon throne, could not deny that such worries had indeed arisen in his heart.

He had to admit that since that day, he had become more and more of a complete person, with richer emotions, love, hate, joy and happiness, but with that came more and more weaknesses.

He used to hope that he could care about more things, but now he hopes that he doesn't care about so many things.

Fortunately, Lu Hanjiang's lazy nature helped him avoid many troubles, otherwise Shang Luo's words alone would have added countless troubles to him.

Over there, the conflict between the East Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard was still going on. Cui Yixiao obviously did not want to give up the case of the Aristocratic Family Alliance, but now the key witness had been taken away by Wang Zheng, so he could only worry.

Knowing that he couldn't make things too awkward in front of the emperor, the extremely aggrieved Cui Yixiao could only leave with a harsh word.

But before leaving, Cui Yixiao whispered a "reminder" to Wang Zheng:

"Your Majesty is here too."

"Godfather, this Cui guy doesn't look that great." The young eunuch beside Wang Zheng couldn't help but make a joke.

But Wang Zheng, the winner, did not show any joy on his face. His eyes lightly passed over the little eunuch beside him and said, "If you can't speak, just shut up."

"My son deserves to die!" The young eunuch knew that he had said the wrong thing. His face immediately changed and he knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

Wang Zheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. If a conflict arose in front of the emperor, whoever had the upper hand would lose in the end. He stood there for a while with a gloomy face, then quickly put on an eager expression and walked towards Tianxiang Tower.

"My slave, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

When Wang Zheng saw the emperor from a distance, he stopped suddenly and crawled forward on his knees, perfectly portraying the image of a lackey in people's minds.

The current eunuch Wang no longer had the prestige of the second-in-command of the East Factory. Shang Luo was amazed when she saw him: "Xiao Lu, your new subordinate is really interesting."

Listening to Shang Luo's teasing words, Wang Zheng lowered his already lowered head to the ground. At this moment, he was extremely shocked.

The things that happened before the emperor ascended the throne were no secret, but not everyone had the courage to speak of them, especially the emperor's former surname.

What's more, Wang Zheng has never seen anyone in the world who dares to be so disrespectful to the emperor, except the Empress in Fengqi Palace and the one in the cold palace.

Today, this girl who appeared out of nowhere was so close to His Majesty. He immediately kept her in mind, wondering if she would become the empress of a palace someday in the future.

Lu Hanjiang glanced at Shang Luo helplessly, then said to Wang Zheng: "Get up, why are you here in Jiangnan?" "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Wang Zheng stood up, he bowed his head and arms and answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, I came to Jiangnan on the orders of Eunuch Cao to investigate the rebellious elements of the noble families. Now I have found some clues."

Lu Hanjiang said "hmm", motioning for the other party to continue. Wang Zheng continued, "The Aristocratic Family Alliance is just a bunch of chickens and dogs. There is no need to worry about it. The daughter of the Chen family has also been taken to prison by me, waiting for your majesty's decision."

"It sounds like you have almost finished your work, and your speed is faster than that of the Jinyiwei." Lu Hanjiang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wang Zheng's thoughts raced. He couldn't guess whether the emperor was just joking or had other intentions. He was not as qualified as Cao Shun to serve in the front, so he didn't know much about the emperor.

In just a blink of an eye, Wang Zheng, who was thinking a lot, had sweat on his forehead. He said, "It's all thanks to your Majesty's virtue."

"I understand. Please leave." Lu Hanjiang waved his hand to let the other party go. Wang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and led his men to retreat far away, but he did not dare to leave. After all, the emperor's safety still required their concern.

After Wang Zheng walked away, Shang Luo said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, I take back what I just said. Not only is your subordinate not very smart, but his ability seems to be very average."

The matter of the alliance of aristocratic families had always been followed up by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. The reason why the Eastern Depot intercepted it halfway and was able to capture the people and clues so quickly was not because Wang Zhengzhen was gifted, but because someone was secretly "pointing the way".

This person is of course Shang Luo. Although the aristocratic family alliance is her trump card, it is also a constraint on her. So as soon as she got the chance, she immediately used the tactic of killing with a borrowed knife and wanted to use the court to eliminate the troubles around her.

But she didn't expect Lu Hanjiang to come, so her plan aborted before it reached the next stage.

However, this did not prevent her from looking down on Wang Zheng. After all, the clues about Chen Yin and the family were a trap from the beginning. The other party did not realize it at all and was still complacent after jumping into the trap. They were really no match for the Jinyiwei.

At least when dealing with Cui Yixiao, Shang Luo still needs to rely on the Netherworld Lamp for cover, but when dealing with Wang Zheng, a few people and a few false news are enough to make the opponent go around in circles.

"It seems that Xiao Lu, you are planning to use the East Factory as a target," Shang Luo said while sitting on the ground, holding her chin with both hands, "It will make too much noise to transfer the Jinyiwei from Jiangnan to the north now. Even if I don't remind them, they will react. You can send a letter to transfer people from the capital. It will be faster this way."

Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you really so kind as to help me? I'm afraid you are planning something bad again."

"You don't know how to appreciate kindness!" Shang Luo glared back, then said: "I really want to help you, but you are just trying to be nice. Let me make it clear first, after I help you settle the matter in Jiangnan, we will go our separate ways."

"It's just a small matter, I don't need your help," Lu Hanjiang turned his head and looked at her and said, "Do you still want to leave?"

"If I don't leave, do I have to go back with you?"

Shang Luo glanced at Lu Hanjiang and then lowered her head, muttering, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The Jianghu is so big that there's no place for me. I don't want to be someone's substitute, especially if you take me back to the palace and I'm used as a clothes hanger all day long. It's better to wander around the Jianghu."

"So are you willing to float alone?" Lu Hanjiang asked.

Shang Luo snorted twice and said, "It's better to float than to follow you. Don't tell me you will trust me. As long as I have the Netherworld Lamp, aren't you worried that one day you will wake up and find that I have emptied the palace?"

"It doesn't matter," Lu Hanjiang said with a smile, "Yongle's family wealth is three times more than the national treasury. If you emptied one palace, I can build another one."

Shang Luo was stunned, and after a while she responded, "Xiao Lu, you are the emperor who still acts like a gigolo. It turns out you are the one."
