“Gather them all at the square of the Meridian Gate. I will take the people away in a moment.”

Hey!

Xue Yue raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, “What a good fellow.”

They were not allowed to move, because it turned out that the prince had taken a fancy to these women.

Come to think of it, apart from anything else, Concubine Dong was truly a rare beauty.

Xue Yue glanced at Jiang Li with a questioning look.

After all, Jiang Li is still the general in name only, and he still has to distinguish between the big and small kings.

Jiang Li waved his hand.

“Do as the prince commands.”

“Yes.”

Xue Yue bowed slightly and then left the hall.

After Xue Yue left, Jiang Li couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

“What does Senior Brother want with them?”

Li Lingge looked outside the door and said calmly.

“come in.”

The next moment, Su Fei stepped in.

“I greet the prince and the general.”

The moment he saw Su Fei, Jiang Li subconsciously adopted a vigilant defensive posture.

It was because Concubine Su was too charming, so it was natural for her to regard such a woman as a love rival.

“Concubine Su, the eldest granddaughter of the Su family in Nanyue, has always had business dealings with me.” Li Lingge explained, “Give all the women in Wenren Houcong’s harem to her.”

As if she had seen Jiang Li’s hostility, Su Fei explained respectfully.

“The prince wants them to enter Hongxiulou and become its signature.”

Hearing this, Jiang Li’s eyelids twitched involuntarily, and then he turned to look at Li Lingge with a questioning look.

Li Lingge nodded. He had no interest in these women, but there would definitely be someone who was interested in them.

“The Hongxiulou branch in Nanyue Kyoto has already started business a month ago. In the future, they will be the main force of Hongxiulou.”

A long time ago, he informed Su Fei to open a Hongxiulou in Kyoto, and this was another collaboration between the two.

Those officials who once served in the Nanyue court could wantonly rape the women of their former emperors as long as they were willing to spend money.

These people were once out of their reach.

The Queen and the most beloved concubine of the Emperor of Nanyue were soliciting customers at the Hongxiu Tower.

What a gimmick!

Jiang Li’s throat rolled and he couldn’t help but remind him.

“Many of these women in the harem have families that were once officials in the imperial court. It’s not appropriate for them to stay in South Vietnam and do this kind of thing.”

This could easily lead to unrest.

For example, the queen is the eldest daughter of the Yang family in the capital.

The Yang family has produced five cabinet ministers, and today Yang Shiren is also the Minister of Personnel of Nanyue.

Although South Vietnam has been destroyed, the power of these aristocratic families cannot be underestimated.

“It’s very simple. Pay the ransom.” Li Lingge had obviously thought of this long ago, so he answered very straightforwardly, “As long as you can pay enough money, you can take the person away.”

Anyway, whether he redeems someone or enters Hongxiu Tower, he will make a lot of money.

With his background and money, he was happy to let people go.

If you have no background and no money, you can only be prepared to be exploited by him.

Hearing this, Jiang Li raised another concern.

“If the emperor knew about this.”

Li Lingge said meaningfully.

“Your Majesty, you won’t punish me for such a small matter.”

Jiang Li blinked and was a little flustered for a moment.

“Big Brother, what do you mean by this?”

“I once said that I would give you a white hat. Now the hat is ready. All that’s left is for Jiang Yunshu to put it on you personally.”

With the merit of destroying the country, Jiang Li officially had the ability to compete for the position of crown prince.

As long as Jiang Li returns to Beijing, the throne will be in his pocket.

By then, when Jiang Yunshu would die would depend on his mood. Did he still want to punish him?

Concubine Su bowed tactfully and then left the hall.

Jiang Li took a deep breath. She naturally understood what Li Lingge meant, but –

She only knows how to lead troops to fight, and doesn’t know how to govern a country.

She was afraid that she would not do well and would disappoint her senior brother.

“Brother, I’m not ready yet.”

“No need to prepare. I will help you.” Li Lingge handed the box that Jia Wenhe gave him to Jiang Li. “This is the evidence of the prince’s illegal sale of grain to South Vietnam. Send someone to send it back to Da Chu and present it to His Majesty.”

After Jiang Li took the box and opened the letters and account books inside, his face immediately turned gloomy.

“He actually secretly sold food and fodder to South Vietnam after the two countries went to war. He is committing treason!”

If it weren’t for these food and fodder, perhaps many soldiers of the Chu State would have died less.

Li Lingge patted Jiang Li’s shoulder and comforted him.

“Don’t be angry. If he doesn’t commit suicide, how can you ascend to the throne smoothly?”

With these things, Jiang Yunshu can make up his mind completely, and at the same time he has enough reasons to depose the prince.

As if remembering something, Li Lingge asked curiously.

“Have you found out why Nanyue didn’t activate the city defense formation?”

When attacking the city during the day, he was also very curious why the city defense formation was still not activated when Nanyue was on the verge of collapse.

Even the border towns have city defense formations. As the capital of Nanyue, there should be no city defense formation built here.

Jiang Li nodded.

“We found out that Li Jue, the director of the Imperial Observatory, told Wenren Houcong that he had built a more powerful defense formation that combines offense and defense. Wenren Houcong handed over all the crystals in the national treasury to Li Jue for arrangement, but this man took all the crystals and ran away.”

“what?”

Li Lingge was surprised. How stupid was Wenren Houcong to be deceived by such a big promise?

When he thought of this, he couldn’t help but feel a little distressed. So many crystals were taken away by others first.

However, just as he was shocked, Xue Yue came back.

However, he learned his lesson this time and shouted from a distance.

“Your Majesty.”

Hearing the voice before seeing the person, Xue Yue gave the two men enough time to react before walking into the hall.

“There’s a man named Li Jue outside who wants to see you.”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Li Lingge couldn’t help but feel a little interested in this Li Jue. This man got the crystals from the national treasury and didn’t run away, but dared to come to him.

“Let him in.”

Soon, a man with a very bookish look walked into the hall.

After meeting, Li Lingge subconsciously opened the Eye of Luck.

Because he guessed that the person in front of him was very likely Li Changgeng’s puppet.

Judging from the other party’s unreasonable style of behavior, he could only be a puppet directed by Li Changgeng.

He subconsciously protected Jiang Li behind him and took a defensive stance.

He clearly remembered that last time Li Changgeng almost used Yang Wanlou to blow him to death.

Seeing that Li Lingge looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Xue Yue immediately drew the knife from his waist without saying a word.

Jiang Li’s hand was already on the hilt of the knife, ready to draw the sword at any time.

However, the result surprised Li Lingge.

With just one glance, he denied his guess.

Because the opponent’s luck points are not zero, this has almost become his criterion for judging Li Changgeng’s puppet.

If it is Zero, it must be a puppet, but if it is not Zero, then it is a real living person.

“What do you want from me?”

“There is something I want to talk to you about alone.”

Li Jue stood in the main hall, facing the three people in the hall, calm and composed.

Li Lingge narrowed his eyes slightly, and then looked at Jiang Li.

“You guys go out first.”

Jiang Li was a little worried. She rarely saw her senior brother so alert.

Although the person in front of her was just an ordinary person under the investigation of her spiritual sense, she always had a hunch in her heart that this person was definitely not simple.

Seeing that Jiang Li didn’t move, Li Lingge held her hand holding the knife.

“Don’t worry, no one can kill me.”

Hearing this, Jiang Li loosened his hand holding the knife, hesitated for a moment, and then took Xue Yue out of the hall.

After the two left, Li Jue said calmly.

“Nice to meet you, Li Lingge.”

Li Lingge narrowed his eyes slightly, and his back was already tense.

“Nice to meet you, Li Changgeng.”

Chapter 257 Li Lingge: I bet there is no bullet in your gun

257.

Li Jue is the kind of person who is completely inconspicuous in a crowd, and with that hint of bookish air, he doesn’t look dangerous at all.

However, when Li Lingge discovered that the other party was not a puppet, his tense nerves did not relax.

He had a luck point of 60, looked ordinary, and didn’t seem to have any cultivation. Such an ordinary person made Li Lingge have a guess in his mind.

He met the real person – Li Changgeng!

Of course the other person said: Nice to meet you, Li Lingge.

He was completely certain of his guess that this person was Li Changgeng.

This is both good news and bad news for him.

He had always wanted to find Li Changgeng’s true body, and now he finally saw it.

But this was not found by him, but Li Changgeng showed up on his own initiative.

A person who was only 98% sure he was going to die, now appeared in front of him on his own initiative. What does this mean?

This shows that the other party is 100% sure, no matter what cards he has.
