On the day the scumbag got married, I lay flat and became his sister-in-law

Chapter 21
Seeing Zhou Xing's cold eyes, Su Ho quickly wrapped his arms around his waist: "Your Highness will make me very sad. Your Highness is a man who does great things. I hope that one day I can help His Highness, not just rely on him." The dodder flower that lives for Your Highness."

Zhou Xing grabbed her little hand that kept moving in front of him, and asked, "Are you sure someone knew about your plan in advance?"

"Of course, otherwise I won't lose. The weirdest thing is that I searched for two days, but found nothing. I heard that His Majesty is also paying attention to this matter, and even Mr. Mai, the Minister of the Household Department, is also investigating this matter. When it comes to me, I am only worried that it will affect His Highness."

As Su Ho said, he quietly looked at Zhou Xing's expression.

The affair between her and Zhou Xing had reached the ears of Emperor Chengde, if Emperor Chengde had many eyes and ears, he would have known that Zhou Xing had bought her a house in Zhafen Street.

If it is really found out that she is the one who spread the rumors this time and affects Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing's impression of her will definitely plummet.

"You want me to help you?" Zhou Xing's expression showed no emotion.

Su Ho bit his lower lip lightly: "The disaster is caused by me, I will solve it myself, no matter what, I can't implicate Your Highness!"

Zhou Xing pushed Su Ho away: "This kind of thing is only this time, and it will never be an example. This king has something else to do, so I'll go back first."

Su Ho didn't dare to stay for Zhou Xing, this time she didn't make a fortune by stealing chickens, it was indeed because of her negligence.The most hateful thing is that the person who profited from behind picked up the fruits of her labor, but let her bear the risk. It's extremely hateful!
After Zhou Xing left Zhafen Street and returned to the Qin Palace, he ordered Zhao De to investigate which official from the household department was investigating the charcoal reselling.

But the result of Zhao De's investigation surprised him, because no officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs were investigating the matter.

"How is it possible? Didn't the father say that the emperor handed this matter over to the Ministry of Household Affairs for investigation?" Zhou Xing's face darkened, and he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with it.

"The servant has checked, and it is true that the Ministry of Household Affairs took over the matter, but no official is investigating. It is said that the emperor issued a secret decree, and no one except the emperor knows who is secretly investigating." Zhao De also felt that this matter was very serious. weird.

The household department is in charge of land tax, tariff, likin, public debt, currency and other related affairs. Of course, the household department is closely related to the fact that some people make huge profits through rumors.

The person who thoroughly investigated this matter is so mysterious, why don't people think about it?

"You send someone to keep an eye on Su Ho secretly, and you can't let her drag me down." Zhou Xing's face darkened.

If he is involved because of this matter, and his father thinks that he is playing tricks behind his back, then the loss outweighs the gain.

He shouldn't have let Su Ho mess around at that time, what can a woman do?

However, what happened next took Zhou Xing a little by surprise.

Someone personally went to the Ministry of Finance to admit the fact of spreading rumors, but this person did not admit to reselling charcoal.

Later, it was verified that this person was indeed spreading rumors, but he did not earn the difference in charcoal prices.

Zhou Mu also wrote a report on the results of the investigation and handed it over to Emperor Chengde.

At this moment, Emperor Chengde was in the Zhou residence, looking at his eldest son with loving eyes.

Zhou Mu coughed lightly and reminded: "You should read the brochure first."

He's right here, can't run away.

"You are like your queen mother." Emperor Cheng De said with a soft sigh.

He threw down the booklet in his hand and said to his son, "Talk about what you found to the emperor."

What's the point of looking at dead things like Zhezi?It is rare to see his son, of course it is more meaningful to listen to him.

"The person who spread the rumors has surrendered himself, but this person was instigated by others. That person worked as a nursing home in Qi'anbo Mansion. It is said that one day when he was walking on the road, he accidentally heard someone say that this year is a severe winter. After careful investigation, this nursing home There are obviously two groups of people in this charcoal reselling incident. The first group wants to use rumors to manipulate the price of charcoal and earn the difference. But for some reason, the news was leaked in advance, so that the rumorers did not get Li, but the real beneficiary has a clean hand, so he is a formidable character." Zhou Mu made a long story short, roughly stating what he found out.

"According to what you said, even if the real beneficiary is found, you can't question him?" Emperor Cheng De thought it was quite interesting.

"That person got the news in advance, bought a large amount of charcoal first, and then sold it at a critical moment. It was not this one who spread the rumors. No matter the buyer or the seller, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. What is the blame? It's like doing business. There are losses and profits, but this time that person has a considerable profit. Another point is that this person mainly sells silver frost charcoal, which can only be used by wealthy people, but ordinary people have not been affected this time." Zhou Mu can somewhat figure out the behind-the-scenes author's thoughts.

However, the Su family bought charcoal the day before the rumors spread, but the Su family did not buy much charcoal, because the charcoal had been sold out at that time, so he was not sure whether the Su family had anything to do with this matter.

"According to what you say, that person has a bit of conscience, not a black-hearted businessman?" Emperor Cheng De laughed.

"At least this person got it in a proper way. But this matter is not over. The charcoal incident was sold in the capital, and he didn't go out of the city. It only shows that this person has property in the capital. As long as this person is in the capital, he will definitely return the profitable things. I will make a move. As long as I pay attention to the big and small events that will happen in the capital in the future, I will definitely be able to catch this person's fox tail." Zhou Mu opened his lips indifferently.

He was handsome and gentle like jade, and he spoke in a leisurely manner.

Emperor Chengde loved this child more and more.

Zhou Mu avoided the caring eyes of Emperor Cheng De, and changed the subject: "Did you bring the list of unmarried young talents that you prepared last time?"

"Call Father, and I'll give it to you." Emperor Cheng De teased the child's tone.

Zhou Mu was very helpless, after hesitating for a moment, he still said: "I have to thank you, father."

Emperor Chengde was overjoyed immediately, "It's rare for me to go out of the palace, I plan to meet that Miss Gu, you come with me."

Zhou Mu frowned upon hearing this: "What are you doing seeing Miss Gu?"

"I want to see how this girl who worries you so much looks like, let's go." Emperor Chengde acted immediately and went to the secret room.

There is a secret room in the Zhou residence that leads directly to the ancestral hall of Marquis Wanqing's mansion, and Emperor Chengde did not intend to disturb too many people when he left the palace this time.

Wan Qinghou, who was in the study, was startled when he saw Emperor Cheng De appearing with Zhou Mu.

He hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Emperor Chengde was in a good mood: "There is no need to be too polite, Aiqing sent someone to find Gu Xiyan."

Wan Qinghou's pupils shrank slightly: "Yes, but what did Xiyan do wrong?"

No, on the second day of her mother's birthday banquet, Xiyan received the tribute fruit from the imperial court, and His Majesty clearly valued Xiyan.

"I'm just curious about her, so relax." Emperor Chengde said, casting a glance at Zhou Mu.

Wan Qinghou's heart beat faster when he saw Emperor Cheng De's eyebrows and eyes.

He didn't dare to think deeply, so he hurriedly ordered someone to invite Gu Xiyan.

Gu Xiyan didn't expect that Wan Qinghou would send someone to invite her to the study. It was the first time she went to Wan Qinghou's study when she grew up.

As soon as she entered the study, she saw Zhou Mu standing beside the desk in a white embroidered cloud and dark pattern skirt.He is wearing jade leather around his waist, which makes his waist narrow and hip, tall and long, making her face hot even if she looks at him more often.
