Chapter 1143: Plundering the Foundation
Zhang Ronghua reported everything in detail.
“That’s right!” the Xia Emperor said.
He added in his heart that his sacrifice last night was not in vain.
“Secretly send Su Qiushi and the others on their way.”
“Yes, sir!” Zhang Ronghua agreed.
After all, Su Qiushi was a member of the Su family. Although it would embarrass them to be beheaded in the market, it was not meaningful. No one in power would do such a thing.
The Xia Emperor stretched out two fingers and tapped the dragon’s head. He felt a headache coming on. Zhang Ronghua had made such a great contribution this time, severely injuring the Su family and sending so much silver. He had to be rewarded. However, he had just been promoted not long ago, so he could not be rewarded! Otherwise, all the officials would jump out and attack him together, which would be detrimental to his growth.
Zhang Ronghua remembered Lu Zhantang’s contribution to him. When he accumulated more, he would reward him. He asked,” How is Lu Zhantang?”
Zhang Ronghua was a shrewd person and understood the Emperor’s difficulties.
If he were to be promoted, he would be promoted from Rank Two. The accumulated merits would not be enough. Not only would the officials jump out, but even the Pavilion Elders and the three chancellors would also step forward to stop him. The confrontation involved was very big. The situation was complicated, and it was not the right time yet. They were all holding back and secretly accumulating strength to wait for the fight for the Pavilion Elders to begin before making a move.
“This person is loyal and powerful. No matter how difficult the task is, he can complete it perfectly,” he said immediately.
“Lu Zhantang will be promoted to vice palace lord,” the Xia Emperor said.
“I thank Your Majesty on his behalf!”
“Go!”
Zhang Ronghua left.
When the door closed.
“What happened to Grand Tutor?” the Xia Emperor asked.
“I suspect he’s injured. We’re still investigating the details,” Wei Shang said.
The Xia Emperor frowned. Given his level of cultivation, who else could injure him other than the old teacher? He thought of Uncle Shi. Could it be him?
Although he had never met the latter before, the Absolute Beginning Demonic God had observed that the latter had always been well-behaved and had never attacked. There was only one possibility. The Grand Tutor had wanted to harm Qing Lin last night, and Uncle Shi had been forced to injure him. This matter was definitely related to the Su family.
The dragon’s eyes were cold and filled with killing intent.
“These people deserve to die!”
He said again.
“Is the plan ready?”
” Yes,” Wei Shang replied respectfully.” It’s just that I’m sorry to trouble Minister Fu.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it. If we want to lure them into taking the bait, ordinary people don’t have enough status. Although Fu Kun has enough, he still can’t not suffer a little! After this matter, Zhen will compensate him.”
..
They left the palace.
Zhang Ronghua first went to the Soul Palace to convey the Emperor’s reward. When Lu Zhantang heard that he had been promoted, he was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and bowed in the direction of the palace to thank him…
He made another trip to Nether Prison and secretly sent Su Qiushi and the others on their way. Before he left, he happened to see Su Qiuming and Su Qiuyan being tortured.
Finally, he went to the True Dragon Palace.
Jiu Xuanji seemed to have guessed that he would come, so he brewed some tea and waited in advance. When he heard his subordinate report, he personally went out to welcome him.
In the palace.
The two of them chatted for a long time. Before they left, Zhang Ronghua left his things behind. Jiu Xuanji also prepared a gift. It was a pair of luminous pearls the size of a basketball. They were very bright and emitted a gentle glow. He smiled and accepted them before leaving.
Just as he was about to return to the government office.
” Greetings, Lord Marquis!” Feng Jianxiu rushed over and cupped his fists.
“What’s the matter?” Zhang Ronghua lifted the curtain and asked.
“His Highness invites you over.”
It should have something to do with the Su family. He originally wanted to wait for the Crown Prince to return from the palace before going over, but now it seemed that he would probably come back after the morning court session. Zhang Ronghua nodded and instructed him to go to the Eastern Palace.
After a while.
The car stopped outside, got out, and walked inside.
They arrived at Xuanhe Hall.
” Lord Marquis!” Jin Feng stood guard outside and saluted with cupped fists.
Zhang Ronghua nodded and entered the hall. Jin Feng closed the door, a complicated look in her eyes. She was once a small figure, but now she had grown into the Marquis of Nancheng. She had to bow every time they met. As a phoenix, she had profound cultivation, but she was getting worse and worse. She had gone from being the person beside His Highness to guarding the door. It was quite ironic.
In the palace.
“Greetings, Your Highness!” Zhang Ronghua bowed.
The Crown Prince’s attitude had also changed. He no longer stood up from his chair like before. He wanted to win over the hearts of the people. He walked over and patted Zhang Ronghua’s shoulder. He solemnly said,” It’s been hard on you.”
“This is what I should do within my duties.”
She pointed at the chair and gestured for him to sit down.
Shuang ‘er served tea and Eastern Sea Ten Thousand Spirit Tea before leaving.
“How did you handle it?” asked the Crown Prince.
Zhang Ronghua explained the situation.
“Do you know why the Su family captured these young women?” the Crown Prince asked.
“I don’t know!”
” Just now, my informant on their side sent news that Su Qiutang was severely injured for some reason and needed the Primordial Yin of the pavilion lady to refine the Essence Soul Heavenly Yin Pill.”
“How dare they?” Zhang Ronghua was furious.
The Crown Prince sighed. Otherwise, we would have been able to capture Su Qiutang and severely injure Mother.”
“The heavens are watching what people do. You can escape for a while, but you can’t escape forever!”
” They’ve suffered such a huge loss at your hands this time,” the crown prince reminded.” They must be careful and protect themselves.”
“I understand!”
The crown prince pointed at the teacup and smiled warmly.” Don’t just talk. Drink some tea to moisten your throat.”
Zhang Ronghua agreed with a smile. He took a sip of tea and then put it down again. He looked at the pastries on the side. He had been busy since last night. He didn’t feel it just now. Now that he was free, he was hungry. He took a piece of osmanthus cake and ate it. It was very sweet and soft.
