Chapter 946 Conspiracy

"I still need you to continue taking care of the goods in Jiangnan," Huang Dasheng said to Jiang Ming with a smile. 

Jiang Ming nodded casually, but the teacup in his hand was already ready to move. 

He planned to knock Huang Dasheng out. 

Huang Dasheng noticed that Jiang Ming's mood was not right and could not help but feel strange. 

"Sir, you seem to have changed. I remember that you weren't like this before." 

Jiang Ming pretended to be innocent. "The new king is dealing with corrupt officials. Aren't we afraid of being discovered by him?" 

He explained this to test the commander's attitude towards him. He felt that these officials did not take him seriously. 

As expected, Huang Dasheng sneered and said, "Who the hell is that king?" He's just a brainless kid. What's there to be afraid of? To be honest, those officials don't really like this new king. They're just nodding along. I'd like to see what that king has to say to us in court tomorrow." 

"What are you planning?" 

Jiang Ming was not angry. Instead, he was curious. 

From the looks of it, he would encounter a huge crisis in the court tomorrow. However, he did not know if this huge crisis could be considered a real crisis. 

His expression turned cold. 

Huang Dasheng suddenly felt his body turn cold. He took a sip of hot tea and said, "Why does it feel a little cold here? We plan to force the king to abdicate tomorrow. The king's position is not stable yet. We need him to deal with the problem of the canal in the south. Now that the water is flooding, it is very troublesome. That king definitely has no solution for that. When the time comes, we'll blame him and make him abdicate. The prime minister's influence is currently very strong. Once we rope him in, our influence will also grow even stronger." 

"This is a good plan." 

Jiang Ming praised Huang Dasheng while drinking tea. 

Huang Dasheng suddenly became alert. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Are you thinking of betraying us? You brats never ask about these things." 

Jiang Ming quickly said, "Not at all! I feel so useless, so I want to learn more about the plan to help out." 

"Is that so?" 

At this moment, a man suddenly came in from outside the door. The man had a full beard and stared at Jiang Ming sharply. 

Huang Dasheng quickly stood up and knelt on the ground. He bowed to the man. "Prime Minister, why are you here?" 

"Greetings, Prime Minister." Jiang Ming quickly knelt down and said, "We've already settled our matters. We'll just wait for tomorrow." 

However, the prime minister slapped Huang Dasheng. 

"Don't say what you shouldn't say. Don't you know this?" 

Huang Dasheng's face was swollen. 

"That's true. Prime Minister, please forgive me," he said with some discomfort. 

"What's the use of forgiving you? You've already said everything. If we want to solve the problem, we have to get rid of the people who know about it." 

The prime minister smiled and looked at Jiang Ming again. 

"What do you mean, Prime Minister?" Jiang Ming laughed as well. "I'm your colleague. Without me, you might suffer a few more losses." 

"You seem to be a little arrogant recently. I've long disliked you." 

The prime minister approached Jiang Ming and wanted to plunge the dagger into his abdomen. 

Jiang Ming did not let the prime minister succeed. He pressed down on the dagger with one hand. 

As his hand was holding the blade, blood dripped from his hand. 

The prime minister did not expect Jiang Ming to stop him. He could not help but sneer," You've never humiliated me in the past. Who are you? You are not the minister of rites." 

"I think you're wrong. I'm just retaliating. If I don't retaliate, won't I die? Everyone will unleash their combat strength at a critical moment!" Jiang Ming said. 

The prime minister thought for a moment and felt that it made sense. Then, he said coldly, "Minister, you haven't been very obedient recently. If I see this behavior again, don't blame me for being merciless!" 

He originally wanted to kill the minister of rites, but after thinking about it, he still needed him for tomorrow's morning court session. 

He thought that it would not be too late to kill the minister of rites after he was done with him. 

"Yes." 

Jiang Ming pretended to be sad. 

Then, he let go of his hand, and the prime minister wiped his dagger and put it back to its original position. 

"By the way, has there been any movement from the king recently? I think he is quite capable. I'm afraid he'll become a big obstacle for us when the time comes." 

The prime minister looked at Huang Dasheng. 

"Prime Minister," Huang Dasheng replied seriously. "I don't think there's any need to worry about the king. If he causes trouble again, it won't matter. In the end, he's just a piece of trash." 

Jiang Ming was treating his wound at the side and remained silent. 

There was no need to say anything to these people now. Everything was waiting for tomorrow's court session. He would come and fight with these people again. 

"Minister, why aren't you saying anything? Aren't you usually very noisy? It's really strange that you're being silent." 

Huang Dasheng could not help but suspect Jiang Ming and kept observing him. 

Jiang Ming pretended to be a coward. "My wound hurts too much. I just treated it. Besides, I offended the prime minister just now. I don't want to make him angry again." 

"It's good that you know this. You're not allowed to do such things in the future." 

The prime minister suddenly became arrogant and looked at Jiang Ming at the same time. 

"Where are the silver taels I asked you to collect? Is everything settled? Get someone to bring them to my residence later. I want to count them." 

Jiang Ming quickly replied, "Of course. Prime Minister, you're so smart. I definitely can't lose to you. I'll definitely bring them later." 

"What?" Huang Dasheng laughed. "Prime Minister, I think that kid might need our power to stabilize his position. Why don't we extort him?" 

The prime minister could not help but smile. "Huang Dasheng, you're really smart. I'll leave this matter to you." 

"Remember, don't tell anyone about me. I don't know what kind of personality the king has! Don't alert the enemy." 

"Yes. Then let's end our conversation here." 

Huang Dasheng could not wait to make preparations. 

"Let's stop here." 

The prime minister and Huang Dasheng left. 

Jiang Ming snorted coldly, erased the memories of the minister of rites, and left.
