Invincible at the beginning: I seek the world in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 37, heavy bribes

Tianwang City, the Imperial Palace.

Mr. Jiang Bo stood in front of Yun Yuyan's bedchamber, piercing the ground with a long sword, his face was stern, he looked at the group of people in front of him, and said coldly: "Your Majesty's orders, Princess Yuyan is forbidden to leave the palace. Ladies and gentlemen, please don't Put me in danger."

Yun Yuyan in the room was filled with anger, and wanted to push the door out, but was bounced away by a strangely large internal force.

"Damn it!" Yun Yuyan stomped her feet anxiously.

Dali Temple.

Huang Mengjue came out with Cui Ke, who had just been cleared of the charges, but an old eunuch in purple robes blocked her way.

Huang Mengjue's complexion changed slightly, and he thought, "Eunuch Baomin?"

Eunuch Baomin frowned, "You know me from Miss Huang's reaction?"

"The eunuch in the palace, purple robes. You should be one of the five chief supervisors." Huang Mengjue pretended to be calm.

Eunuch Baomin smiled coldly, and bowed slightly, "Miss Huang is really smart. Judging by your posture, you should go home, right?"

"What's wrong?" Huang Mengjue said in a bad tone.

"By His Majesty's order, send Miss Huang Mengjue home!" Eunuch Baomin's tone became more serious.

Huang Mengjue was about to ask, when more than a dozen eunuchs who were in charge of rituals surrounded them.

Eunuch Baomin pointed to a carriage in front of him, "Please!"

"I want to take Cui Ke"

Before he could finish speaking, Eunuch Baomin stopped and said, "By order of Your Majesty, Miss Huang, please go home!"

Huang Mengjue and Cui Ke looked at each other and realized that something was wrong, so they got into the carriage.

Halfway through the journey, Huang Mengjue asked, "Where are you taking me?"

"Naturally, I will take you home." Eunuch Baomin, who was walking outside, replied.

"Do you think I'm stupid? This is not the way back to my house at all." Huang Mengjue grabbed Cui Ke's hand and flew out.

Before getting out of the carriage, an extremely cold internal force pressed down, as if a pair of big hands suppressed them in the carriage.

Huang Mengjue only felt that he had bumped into an iron wall.

At night, Huang Yingjun visited Jiang Kongliu.

"It seems that His Majesty is going to use tough measures." Jiang Kongliu's tone was cold.

Huang Yingjun said: "I heard that Mengjue was taken away in front of the gate of Dali Temple, this Biefengjun is like blind."

"Although he has great power, his rank is not high, and he is hindered everywhere. Besides, His Majesty actually let that old eunuch do it himself." Jiang Kongliu's face was gloomy.

Huang Yingjun asked: "How is Wang Sheng doing in Haoyue City?"

"I don't know. My flying pigeons should have been stopped by someone." Jiang Kongliu shook his head helplessly.

"Isn't it possible?" Huang Yingjun's expression turned ugly.

"Don't worry, with his martial arts, there won't be any problems. It's just that there are a lot of spies outside, and you actually came here aboveboard?" Jiang Kongliu said.

Huang Yingjun sighed, "Mengjue being imprisoned has already made me lose my sense of proportion, what else do I care about?"

"The most important thing now is the attitude of the Prime Minister and Old General Yang." Jiang Kongliu paused, "However, both of them are under strict guard, and no one sees them."

Huang Yingjun said: "Only let Wang Sheng come back, with his skills, he should be able to hide it from everyone and see their elders."

"Now between Haoyue City and Tianwang City, I don't know how many people are there, and no news can get out." Jiang Kongliu shook his head.

"Then what should we do?" Huang Yingjun was devastated.

"We can only wait for Sheng'er to react." Jiang Kongliu smiled wryly.

Haoyue City, the residence of the prefect.

Shen Wen ordered someone to pour tea for the two of them.

"I already know why you two are here. I'm going to ask someone to sort out the political affairs compilation of Yecheng County." Shen Wen rubbed his hands, "Do you two like to listen to operas?"

"Oh." Jiang Wangsheng secretly laughed in his heart, but said: "I've heard about the No. [-] drama in the world, but it's a pity that it didn't come at the right time. This ticket"

"Guys, I happen to have some tickets here, and it's still the best seat." Shen Wen took out two tickets and put them on the table, "The show is about to start, the two young friends, do you mind going with me?" watch?"

"Why not?" Jiang Wangsheng laughed.

"Please!"

"Please!"

To Fengyun Theater, private seats, dried fruits of various colors, fine wine and tea, gold cups and silverware, beautiful women like clouds.

Seeing that the play hadn't started yet, Shen Wen said, "The two are members of the task force. I heard that they are investigating the assassination of an official. Why did you come to Haoyue City?"

He Chenglong smiled honestly, "The official assisted in the investigation at our Dali Temple. Before he was assassinated, he investigated a large-value goods transaction. It was the Ministry of Officials and the Sun family."

"Oh." Shen Wen thought for a while, "How much do you two know about the Sun family?"

"I only know about it." Jiang Wangsheng was very interested, "Master Shen knows something more inside?"

"Hey, what's the inside story, everyone knows." Shen Wen took a deep breath, "The Sun family is deeply rooted in Xichu, and the government's bulk goods have always been provided by the Sun family."

"Moreover, the Patriarch of the Sun family is willing to do good deeds, and has made friends with many martial arts knights."

Shen Wen observed the expressions of the two, and continued: "Speaking of Tianwang City alone, apart from the government and court, the Sun family is the most powerful."

"Young Master Jiang, your father is the Minister of the Ministry of War. You should also know that the Sun family once forged armor and swords for the Western Chu army." Shen Wen was very fond of these things.

Jiang Wangsheng smiled and replied, "I've never heard of it."

"That's right, the manufacture of weapons cannot be decided by businessmen." Shen Wen stroked his beard.

"Young Master He, I heard that you came from a poor family. With your own strength, you became an official in the four places of Dali Temple. It will be smooth sailing in the future."

He Chenglong laughed, "My lord, you are being polite. Compared with your lord, it's not worth mentioning."

Shen Wen said: "In Tianwang City, the Sun family has some shops, not many, just two streets away. If you two like it, I can give it to you as a gift."

He Chenglong frowned, and was about to explode when Jiang Wangsheng held down his thigh.

"Lord Shen, this is not a small sum. He is a petty official, and I am not even an official. Give it to us?" Jiang Wangsheng looked at him with a half-smile.

"Young Master Jiang is joking." Shen Wen looked around for a while, "The size of the power does not depend on the size of the official position. Of course, this is not only the meaning of the official, but also the meaning of the Sun Patriarch."

"What do you mean by living in the Sun's house? He's a guilty conscience." Jiang Wangsheng said.

Shen Wen hurriedly said: "I misunderstood, right? Your Dali Temple's door-to-door investigation of Sun's family, how bad is this effect? ​​Sun's reputation has been lost. Just this day alone, I don't know how many taels of silver I lost."

"As long as the two of you go back home and don't have anything to do with the Sun family, then those two rows of shops won't have anything to do with the Sun family."

Shen Wen waved his hand, and the guards beside him took out two wooden boxes, one box contained the title deed, and the other box contained heavy gold.

"These may represent our intentions?" Shen Wen's eyes sank, and he looked at Jiang Wangsheng.

"This..." Jiang Wangsheng showed a look of distress, and looked around like him, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter!"

"Oh? What's your majesty's intention?" Shen Wen was curious.

"We came to Haoyue City and Sun's house with great violence. His Majesty must know. If we withdraw suddenly, how can we explain it?" Jiang Wangsheng patted Shen Wen lightly.

"This is not very good. But, Mr. Jiang, can you?" Shen Wen hesitated to speak.

Jiang Wangsheng moved his most taboo thumb, middle finger, and index finger, hesitant to speak like him, and said: "I'm a little difficult."

"Oh! As soon as you said it, I suddenly realized it." Shen Wen laughed, thinking that he had met a fellow.

Shen Wen clapped his hands, and another wooden box was presented, in which were all rare treasures, pearls and emeralds.

Jiang Wangsheng giggled and said, "Understood!"
