In less than half a cup of tea's time, the Golden Guard was done inspecting him.
As expected, this Wang Qian was not a good person. Not only did he accept bribes, but he also used his authority to secretly support many members of the Wang family.
"Pei, what a dog official!"
A few Golden Guards couldn't help but step forward and beat Wang Qian up!
Wang Qian screamed repeatedly, but he did not dare to struggle at all.
After giving Wang Qian a fierce beating, the Golden Guard who had been communicating with Wang Qian walked forward and slashed at the back of Wang Qian's neck.
Wang Qian rolled his eyes and fainted on the ground.
......
The Golden Guards government office!
Cheng Yaojin was on duty when a few Golden Guard officers strode in." General, the matter is done. This is what you wanted."”
As he spoke, one of the lieutenants stepped forward and handed the few pieces of paper that Wang Qian had been forced to write to Cheng Yaojin.
After Cheng Yaojin opened it, he only took a glance and immediately closed it again.
He couldn't read!
It was useless to look at it!
"Good, well done. You guys keep a low profile for the next few days. It's best if no one notices.”Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but remind him.
The few lieutenants nodded repeatedly." General, don't worry. We didn't show up directly. You've arranged for the few subordinates to be in the Left Military Guard camp. They won't be able to find out."”
Cheng Yaojin nodded." Alright, you guys go ahead!"”
After he was done with his duty, Cheng Yaojin left the office of the Golden Guards and went to look for Duan Lun.
Duan Lun was still supervising the manufacturing of the waterwheel, the bent shaft plow, and the cement in the government office, so he had not left home yet.
Cheng Yaojin strode into the yamen of the Ministry of Works, but no one stopped him because they all knew this unscrupulous devil and planned to avoid him.
Cheng Yaojin strode in and shouted,""Where's Duan Lun? Where did that guy go?"
A small official from the Ministry of Works rushed over and said to Cheng Yaojin in a flattering manner,"High Duke, Lord Duan is still supervising the work inside.”
"Let's go!" Cheng Yaojin nodded. Why do I feel like Old Duan will become a carpenter in the future?”
Duan Lun, who was supervising the work in the workshop, heard Cheng Yaojin's loud voice. When he saw Cheng Yaojin being brought over by a small official in the government office, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Demoness Cheng, your mouth is too smelly!”
Cheng Yaojin didn't care at all. Looking at the big waterwheel that was about to take shape in front of him, he couldn't help but praise,"Old Duan, your speed isn't slow. I feel like you can finish it before dark, right?”
Hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Duan Lun nodded." There are many craftsmen in the Ministry of Works, and most of them are master craftsmen. It's normal for the waterwheel to be made faster. The curved shaft plow and cement have been completed. We're just waiting for His Majesty to come tomorrow.”
"By the way, Zhijie, have you settled your matters?”
This was the Ministry of Works, so Duan Lun naturally wouldn't directly talk about Wang Qian.
Cheng Yaojin was not stupid. He knew what Duan Lun was asking about. He grinned and nodded."Hehe, you still don't trust me? He would have a good time tomorrow morning!”
Duan Lun knew that Cheng Yaojin must have done something. However, it would be better if the Wang family could not do anything to him.
It saved him the trouble of finding someone to guard against them.
"Old Duan, shall we go back for a drink later?”
Cheng Yaojin invited Duan Lun.
However, Duan Lun shook his head and refused." Forget it. I still have to keep an eye on the situation here today. It's better to be safe than sorry. Anyway, everything will be settled after tomorrow. We can't relax today."”
"Alright, but Old Duan doesn't have to worry. The Wang family probably hasn't made any moves for the time being.”
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's certainty, Duan Lun believed him and nodded.
......
What Cheng Yaojin had the Golden Guards do today might be very secretive, but there was one person who could not be hidden.
In the Imperial Palace!
Li Er had just finished reviewing the memorial and was taking a tea break when Li Junxian arrived.
"Junxian, why are you here? Is there something important?”Li Er put down his cup and asked Li Junxian.
"Your Majesty, I do have something to report!”Li Junxian clasped his hands, a strange expression on his face."This lowly subject has just received news that Lord Wang Qian from the Ministry of Works…He was kidnapped by State Duke Lu!"
"Pfft…"
Li Er spat out the tea in his mouth.
The palace maid beside him quickly wiped Li Er with a gauze.
Li Er waved his hand and said," This Cheng Yaojin always wants to cause trouble. I didn't expect him to do this. Has he cleaned up his tail?"”
"Your Majesty," Li Junxian hurriedly bowed,"it's been cleared!"”
Li Junxian controlled Li Er's hidden faction, which was like a giant net that wrapped around the Great Tang.
Chang 'an was the capital of the Tang Empire, so they naturally had a better grasp of the situation. They even copied every word that Cheng Yaojin said to the lieutenant and handed it to Li Er.
As for the control of the local forces, they were not that strong, but most of them still had spies.
Li Er nodded at Li Junxian's assurance."In that case, pretend you don't know. Zhijie doesn't like these people, and neither does This Emperor!" It just so happens that the Wang family has jumped out this time. I'll give them a harsh blow. This world is still mine, not those aristocratic families '!”
Li Junxian respectfully listened, not daring to interrupt.
Li Er said a few more words to Li Junxian before waving his hand to dismiss him.
After leaving Taiji Palace, Li Junxian finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that Li Er would vent his anger on him because of Cheng Yaojin.
But fortunately, Cheng Yaojin was also in line with the emperor's appetite.
Not long after Li Junxian left, Empress Zhangsun returned with a bowl of soup. She placed it down and handed a bowl to Li Er.
"Your Majesty, was General Li here just now?”
Li Er nodded and took a sip of the soup." Oh, Zhijie taught the Wang family a good lesson. There will probably be more trouble tomorrow morning."”
Upon hearing that the Wang family had been dealt with by Cheng Yaojin, Empress Zhangsun was a little happy." What does Your Majesty think?”
"Just as I want! Zhen has long disliked the faces of these aristocratic families. Since the Wang family can torment them so much, then I'll torture them ruthlessly!”
"Your Majesty, please make your decision. However, by doing this, State Duke Lu, ChenQie is also very angry.”
Li Er naturally knew why Empress Zhangsun said that. He smiled and said,""Don't worry, I'll make the Wang family lose more than they gain tomorrow!”
The two of them were lovey-dovey for a while. Then, Empress Zhangsun suddenly remembered something and said to Li Er,"Your Majesty, Changle will come to see you tomorrow. She recently received something good.”
