Before fleeing famine, I evacuated the Duke's mansion and stockpiled tens of billions of suppli

Chapter 4 Secret Talks in the Duke's Mansion
Hazy moon looks up at the sky, the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, it is advisable to travel.

In the past two days in the Duke's mansion, Obscure Moon has figured out the general layout of the mansion, and while everyone is asleep, she pulls her brother to prepare to sneak out of the tribute hall.

"Where are you going?" A faint voice came from the corner.

Obscure Moon followed the prestige and met a pair of pitiful eyes. It was a round-faced little girl with red eye circles. Obscure Moon heard that she was sold to the Duke's Mansion by her family for a consistent amount of money.

"Shh, let's go find something to eat, you wait here obediently, don't wake everyone up, and I'll bring you candy when I come back." Mizuki said softly.

"Well, okay" Hearing that there will be candy cakes to eat, the little girl is very obedient and obedient, she doesn't pester Ozuki anymore, she sits by the door and quietly watches Ozuki's brothers and sisters leave.

Obscure moon who came out of the tribute hall began to run wildly, but within a few steps, he saw a group of patrolling servants coming from the front. In a panic, obscurity moon took her brother and hurriedly hid in a nearby room without lights.

After Ozuki and her elder brother broke into the dark room, before they could turn around, they heard a deep male voice behind them: "Your Majesty, are you here?"

Ozuki was startled, there was actually someone in the room!
Fortunately, there was no lamp in the room, and the moon was also hidden in the clouds at that time, so the sky and the earth were completely dark, so the people in the room did not see clearly that it was the two children who came in, and thought that the person who came was the Duke who had made an appointment.

Obscure Moon looked at the dark night outside, and was thinking about whether to run out, but before she had time to let go, she heard footsteps outside the door, which sounded like they were walking towards the house.

With the faint night light at the door, Obscure Moon saw a round table with a tablecloth hanging not far from the door, and Obscure Moon dragged her elder brother into it quickly.

The people in the inner room heard that the other party did not respond for a long time, and asked tentatively: "My lord?"

"It's me," a strong voice sounded at the door.

Luyue under the table was sweating in her heart, oh my god, this is too coincidental, she and Duke Yu entered the study room almost at the same time.

Under the table, Ozuki put her finger on her brother's mouth, signaling him not to speak, and not to make any noise.

"Everything is done?" Duke Yu walked to the window, picked up the teapot on the desk by the moonlight, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"My lord, the matter has been settled. Governor Dongsheng, who was sent by the imperial court to inspect the relief funds, has been robbed by horse bandits in Hebei."

"Well, you did a good job. He was promoted to governor in Hebei, so what does it have to do with us in northern Henan?" Duke Yu's voice was faintly joyful.

"A royal official was robbed by horse bandits. This is a slap in the face of the royal family. In the next few months, the court will focus on eliminating the horse bandits. Your Excellency can rest easy."

"Yeah, after the 10,000+ disaster victims are exhausted, it will be easy to hide this matter." Yu Guogong happily drank the tea in the cup, and then poured it for the person opposite. He took a cup: "You did a good job in this matter."

"My lord's praise, it's all cultivated by the lord." The person hidden in the dark was overjoyed by the lord's praise, and drank it down after taking the teacup with both hands.

However, before the man put the teacup back on the table, he suddenly convulsed and foamed at the mouth. He fell to the ground within a few breaths, then his neck tilted, and he died with his eyes open. A look of confidence.

Obscure Moon hiding under the round table, although she can't see what's going on outside through the tablecloth, she can guess what's going on by listening to the movement.

This Yu Guogong is really not a good person, he embezzled the food relief funds, murdered the imperial court officials, and even murdered people to silence him!
"Clean hands and feet, drag them out and bury them." Duke Yu, whose face was half hidden in the darkness, ordered to the black shadow rushing outside the door.

"Yes!"

After saying that, several men in black quickly dragged the corpse out of the ground in the dark, and it was as if nothing had happened in the study.

The deserted moon in the sky watched all this without saying a word, probably because he was used to the secrets in the Duke's mansion.

Duke Yu thought that the whole thing was done seamlessly, so he stopped in the study for a while, and then left leisurely.

As everyone knows, the two children under the table have a panoramic view of all this.

"Huh~" Lu Yue let out a long sigh of relief, she had just overheard so many secrets, and now her back felt a little chilly, and Duke Yu's cruelty also made her palpitations.

The land grinned and turned, and the food barrier was sad, the common people suffered, and the officials, big and small, were fattened.

This doggerel circulating in the market is really not groundless.

The more she thinks about it, the more obnoxious and hateful Yue Yue feels, the glory and wealth in the Duke's mansion are all supported by eating human flesh and blood.

These dignitaries stepped on the bones of the starving people to enjoy themselves, cheated the upper and lower to fill their own pockets, and greedy and dirty blood dripped from every pore.

Obscure Moon lifted a corner of the tablecloth and saw that the sky outside the window was already approaching dawn, and the sacrificial team probably had already formed a long queue on the street, because the Duke's Mansion was still a certain distance from the Temple of Heaven, so the sacrificial team had to leave early.

When the priest finds that there are fewer people, he will definitely take people to look for them in the mansion, so it is better not to go out now, Ozuki thought and pulled down the tablecloth again.

Sure enough, when the priest counted the number of sacrificial children before the team left, he found that Ozuki was missing, so he quickly sent the housekeeper to look for it.

The butler took his servants to search in the mansion to no avail, and heard a little girl say that Ozuki went out in the middle of the night. The butler guessed that Ozuki would still be in the city, so he took some of the servants out to look for it.

Seeing that the auspicious time for departure was approaching, the priest did not dare to delay, and led the team to go ahead, and asked the housekeeper to find someone and send them over quickly.

Amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, the sacrificial team walked towards the Temple of Heaven among the crimson confetti flying all over the sky. Everyone in the sacrificial team was dressed in red, wore feather hats, and held incense burners.

The soft sedan chairs of the Duke and his family followed closely behind the long sacrificial procession, and they did not forget to pretend to distribute some dried fruit snacks to the hungry people along the road. The hungry people who got the food knelt down and shouted: "Grateful for the kindness of the Duke!"

Obscure Moon heard the sound of firecrackers, and knew that most of the people outside had already left, so she slipped out of the study.

Most of the housekeepers in the mansion followed Duke Yu to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices, and the rest followed the housekeeper to search for the moon in the city, so the mansion of the Duke of Yu happened to be unguarded at this time.

Obscure Moon led her brother quietly around the lobby and went straight to the backyard. There is only one thing she has to do now, and that is to evacuate the entire Duke's Mansion!
Originally, before Ozuki fled, she just wanted to go to the kitchen to get some autumn wind and bring some food back.But now she has changed her mind, she wants to take over the Duke of Yu's mansion.

Yes, not even leave the pot to Duke Yu!
