Chapter 159 The powerful official is about to take action!
"Sir, look, there are members of the Imperial Guard on that carriage. The owner of this brothel has been colluding with the Imperial Guard for a long time!"
Beside Wu Ba, the bearded man pointed at the carriage road.
Hearing this, Wu Ba's face darkened, but his eyes quickly moved away from the carriage and stared at the brothel not far away, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"What kind of brothel is this? They're actually recruiting people from the underworld for the Imperial Army?"
Wu Ba asked the bearded man.
"Sir, I only know that the owner of this brothel has a strong background and knows many people in the martial arts world. As for how she got to know the Imperial Guards, I have no idea."
The bearded man said.
He was just a gangster who was recruited by Boss Murong, so he didn't know much.
"Humph."
Wu Ba snorted coldly, a cold look in his eyes.
He suddenly remembered that Yang Dechang had asked him to investigate the emperor's spies in the capital before, but now it seems that this brothel is very likely the emperor's base outside.
"Zhang Ting, you have performed a great deed this time. I will report this to the Prime Minister, and there will definitely be a generous reward!"
Wu Ba said to the bearded man.
"Oh, thank you for your support, sir."
The bearded man showed a look of joy and immediately clasped his fists.
"Zhang Ting, you should remember the layout of this brothel. Does it have a back door?"
Wu Ba spoke to the bearded man again.
"some."
Zhang Ting was somewhat puzzled and asked Wu Ba, "Sir, what do you want?"
"Tonight, you lead the way, I will personally lead my men to attack!"
Wu Ba said with a gloomy face.
Hearing this, Zhang Ting was shocked.
"My lord, this, this."
"What? Are you scared?"
Wu Ba turned to look at Zhang Ting and said.
"It's not that I'm scared, sir. The owner of this brothel is quite powerful and has a group of people from the underworld. Besides, it's been a while since I left this brothel, and the layout may have changed. If I rush in rashly, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate."
Zhang Ting pondered for a moment and advised.
Hearing this, Wu Ba's brows furrowed slightly.
"Well, you have a point. I was a little reckless. Then you take people to investigate the situation first. I will take action after the situation is clear!"
Wu Ba ordered again.
Hearing this, Zhang Ting was slightly stunned and then clasped his fists.
"Yes!"
Wu Ba immediately turned around and left, intending to find someone to pass the news to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At the Prime Minister's house.
In a garden full of exotic flowers and plants, Yang Dechang was holding two beautiful young concubines, with delicious food and fruits placed in front of him.
The two beautiful concubines kept serving wine and food, and Yang Dechang just opened his mouth and enjoyed the blessing of being served.
Suddenly, a servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion walked quickly to his side and whispered something to him.
In an instant, Yang Dechang's eyes darkened.
"Let Wu Ba act according to the circumstances. I don't care what means he uses. The strongholds set up by this little emperor in the capital must be completely eradicated. If Wu Ba needs anything, just tell me. I will support him!"
Yang Dechang slammed the table hard and gave the order.
The two beautiful concubines beside him were startled and quickly knelt on the ground.
And the servant took the order and left.
"The young emperor is really creative, setting up his spies in a brothel."
Yang Dechang sneered in his heart. As long as he eliminated all of Ye Chen's spies in the capital, he was confident that he could turn Ye Chen into a blind and deaf man.
By then, he would not always be at a disadvantage in every fight with Ye Chen.
Soon, Yang Dechang's order reached Wu Ba's ears. Wu Ba was full of confidence and ready to go. He was just waiting to find out the situation in the small house by the lake, and then he took action immediately.
all of these.
Ye Chen didn’t know.
When he returned to the palace.
"Your Majesty, Miss Qin has entered the palace and is now in the Imperial Garden."
"Well, I also want to go to the Imperial Garden. After I change my clothes, I will go find Meng'er."
Ye Chen immediately raised the corner of his mouth.
It is undoubtedly a very pleasant thing to have a beautiful woman accompany you when you are doing your work.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. During interrogation, the Minister of Justice Qi Gongtai insisted that everything was done by his butler behind his back. His butler also took all the blame and confessed."
Shen Qiu's tone was a little cold.
Anyone with normal skills could see that a small housekeeper would never dare to accept the money sent by Qin Ling.
Qi Gongtai, who is behind this steward, must be the mastermind.
However, without any evidence, Shen Qiu could not convict the court officials at random.
"Then kill his butler and let him go."
Ye Chen waved his hand and said.
His tone was calm, but he had already expected this.
Since Qi Gongtai pushed the butler out to do the job, he must have communicated with the butler a long time ago.
This housekeeper was originally used to take the blame.
To bring down the Minister of Justice, we have to think of other ways.
The carriage soon arrived outside the Yangxin Palace.
Ye Chen got off the carriage and walked into the Yangxin Palace, and immediately asked Cheng'en to arrange for the palace maids to change his clothes.
He put on his dragon robe and the emperor's crown, walked out of the Yangxin Palace, got on his sedan chair, and headed towards the Imperial Garden.
Entrance to the Imperial Garden.
Qin Man was wearing a black brocade dress with a golden hairpin in her hair. She exuded the unique nobility of a marquis's daughter, and her youthful temperament made her look like a real girl.
As soon as Ye Chen saw Qin Man, he got off the sedan happily.
Qin Man quickly knelt down.
"The Marquis of Jing'an greets His Majesty."
"Stand up, Meng'er, there's no need to be so restrained."
Ye Chen waved his hand and said to Qin Man.
After Qin Mang stood up, he quickly approached and said gently, "Mang'er, how long have you been here?"
"It's been two hours."
"Oh, Meng'er, you haven't eaten yet, come with me and have lunch with me. After lunch, we will go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll."
Ye Chen reached out and held Qin Man's hand, pulling her towards the sedan chair.
"Ah, sire, sire, I."
Qin Man's face flushed red. She didn't expect that Ye Chen would ask her to have dinner with him as soon as he saw her.
"I'm not hungry."
"Nonsense! You've been here for two hours already. How could you not be hungry? Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. Be obedient and have lunch with me."
Ye Chen was very persistent, and pulled Qin Man onto the sedan chair and sat next to her openly.
The sedan chair he was sitting in was very spacious, and even with three people in it it didn't feel crowded.
"Your Majesty, what did you do outside the palace today?"
I saw myself getting into the sedan chair.
Although Qin Man was still a little embarrassed, she had gotten used to Ye Chen's enthusiasm and quickly calmed down. She asked in confusion.
"I negotiated a business deal with someone."
Ye Kuang smiled, but did not hide anything. He explained the whole story to Qin Man, but he did not mention the matter of stockpiling military rations.
It’s not that they are afraid that Qin Man will leak the news, but they are afraid that Qin Man will let the cat out of the bag and the people around her will leak the news.
After all, with the incident with Madam Xue, Ye Chen already understood that the fewer people who knew about some things, the better.
