Chapter 811 The Tong clan, Lin Yun’s face changes
Xue Kai probed: "Your Majesty, you want to ask Queen Tong Xiangrou, right?"

This woman is Li Jing's favorite woman, but her identity is quite extraordinary.

Tong Xiangrou's father was the daughter of Tong Guoli, the founding hero of the country.

Lin Yun secretly investigated the secrets of the year during this period, and learned that Li Jing had secretly reached an agreement with Tong Guoli to marry Tong Xiangrou and make her queen. Only then did Tong Guoli use the Tong family's influence to help Li Jing ascend to the throne.

However, it was a pity that Tong Guoli died of illness in the fifth year of Li Jing's accession to the throne. Without the support of this great patron, the Chu family represented by the Queen Mother gradually came to prominence, constraining Li Jing at every turn and opposing his various policies.

But as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Tong family gradually declined, it still had considerable influence in the Daduan Dynasty.

So in the final analysis, Lin Yun was not targeting Queen Tong Xiangrou, but the Tong family behind her.

Lin Yun said in a playful tone: "Since Shangshu Xue is a smart man, why would he put this matter on the table?"

Looking at his expression with a hidden knife in his smile, Xue Kai felt his scalp numb. He, Lin Yun, was not done with killing Li Jing, he also had to dig out and eliminate the Tong family hidden behind him.

But Xue Kai understood that the decline of the Tong family began with Tong Guoli's death and Li Jing's sudden death. These two key nodes were the Tong family's life-threatening talismans.

"Reporting to the prince, there are indeed some fish that have slipped through the net, and Tong Xiangrou, who I just accidentally mentioned, is one of them!"

A flash of anger flashed in Lin Yun's eyes, and he secretly scolded him that Li Mu was acting in a secret way, and said in a deep voice: "In that case, I will give this task to Xue Shangshu!"

Xue Kai's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked: "I obey my order! But I'm afraid that I can't control the heat well, so please give me some advice..."

Lin Yun smiled jokingly, dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote four words on the table, 'Ransomware and execution'.

Seeing this, Xue Kai sighed inwardly that this regent was really ruthless. He wanted to eliminate the root cause without leaving any future troubles.

"I understand!"

Lin Yun stood up, adjusted his robe absentmindedly, and said meaningfully: "Xue Shangshu must be scolding this king for being cruel and ruthless now, right?"

Xue Kai was shocked and quickly waved his hand to reject it.

"No... how dare you, a lower official?" As he said that, he knelt on the ground with a thud, marveling at Lin Yun's acumen, and breaking into a cold sweat.

Before, when Lin Yun was dealing with Li Jing, Fulin'an Meng Yuan and others, Xue Kai was only qualified to watch on the sidelines, but this time they got to know each other deeply, he finally realized how troublesome the regent was. He could guess what he was thinking.

It would be an absolute nightmare to be an enemy of such a person.

Lin Yun smiled playfully: "It doesn't matter! If you scold in your heart, I won't be angry! After all, there are too many people scolding you now! I am too lazy to care, but it also proves from the side that my idea is correct!"

Xue Kai apologized awkwardly and didn't know what to say.

"Okay! Xue Shangshu, get up! Do what I have asked you to do. All the money obtained from this operation does not need to be reported to the court. Xue Shangshu can handle it on his own!"

After saying that, Lin Yun waved his sleeves and left.

Xue Kai looked at his back and then stood up. With trembling hands, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his face.

He understood that the regent did not have good intentions. Confiscating the Tong family's homes was inherently offensive. Not only was he a bad person, he also wanted to come up with a reason to convict the Tong family of confiscating their homes.

If he is greedy for the Tong family's property, he will offend more people, at least the Eight Wise Kings will not let him go.

Moreover, Lin Yun would grab him by the pigtails. In order to protect himself from now on, he would have no choice but to willingly work for the regent.

These methods made Xue Kai admire and feel deeply afraid. And even though he knew it was a trap, he could only get in obediently.

After spending so many years in the officialdom, if he couldn't even figure this out, then it would be all in vain.

Only by handing over the braid to the other party can he gain trust, which is equivalent to a certificate of surrender and is the key to the rise of his Xue family.

Here, Lin Yun received Xue Kai's guidance and went directly to Li Qingyue's home.

She was still Lin Yun's nominal fourth wife. Although their relationship had long been an open secret, Li Qingyue did not move into Prince Yun's Mansion to avoid suspicion.

Lin Yun was led by several servants to a living room.

Not long after, Li Qingyue came.

It seemed that she was dressing up deliberately. She was wearing a palace costume and was covered in gold and silver. She looked more graceful and luxurious, but lost the youthful atmosphere she once had.

Lin Yun's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Why are you dressed like this, girl?"

Li Qingyue smiled slyly and turned around in front of him.

"How is it? Do you think I have the temperament of a queen of a country now?"

Lin Yun suddenly realized it and said with a strange tone: "The fourth lady is interested! She is secretly thinking about this matter!"

Seeing that he seemed angry, Li Qingyue looked at the maids and maids who were standing around, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have anything to do here, so please step aside!"

"Yes!! Your Highness Princess..."

After watching the girls leave, Li Qingyue immediately returned to her sweet smile, put her arms around Lin Yun's neck, and sat directly on his lap, pretending to be pitiful.

"Ms. sir, I'm not as thoughtful as you think! It's just...since I followed you and sold the entire Li family, shouldn't you give me a good reward?"

Lin Yun put his arm around her waist and said, "So, what do you want? You might as well just say it!"

"One day, my husband will be honored as a great treasure. I hope to become the mother of a country. I swear that I will manage all the affairs of the harem and never let my husband worry!"

Lin Yun looked at her with a complicated expression. To be honest, Li Qingyue was indeed qualified to be the queen. As she said, in order to help her, she paid a huge price, far more than the three ladies.

But if he agrees, how should the three ladies explain it?

"Qingyue, I hope you can understand the difficulties of being a husband! So, don't worry about this matter! My husband has long told the outside world that the Daduan Dynasty will not establish a queen and a queen mother in the future! The status of your four ladies It’s equal!”

Li Qingyue's eyes were red and she whispered: "The Daduan Dynasty is the empire of the Li family. If my husband ascends the throne, the dynasty must be changed? My husband, please stop trying to trick me! I am not as easy to trick as the three sisters!" "

Lin Yun smiled bitterly: "I can only agree to one request of you, and that is that when I become the emperor, I will only appoint four imperial concubines, that is, the four of you!"

"But…"

Li Qingyue still wanted to argue, but Lin Yun changed his face instantly and said in a deep voice: "That's enough! Qingyue, it's best to put away your petty thoughts! My husband said that he will treat the four of you equally and will not be biased, let alone Preference! If you are still not satisfied with this, don’t regret it if you make any decision for your husband in the future!”

With that said, he suddenly pushed Li Qingyue away and stood up to leave.
