Chapter 852 Su Qiutang’s Assassination
The two of them walked to the side and stopped in a corner.
“Including today, the First Prince hasn’t attended court for three days,” Chen Youcai said.
He wasn’t sure just now, but now he was certain that the First Prince had given up struggling and accepted his fate!
Chen Youcai continued,” I didn’t expect it either. This time, I actually went one step further and was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works. Thanks to you, are you free tonight?” Let’s gather at the Platinum Courtyard.”
“Is there a need to be like this between us?” Zhang Ronghua smiled. You’ve just been promoted, so many people have been watching you. It won’t be too late to meet again after the Ministry of Works is done.”
“Alright!” Chen Youcai agreed.
” I have left my men in Shangjing. With Xu Xing’s ability, even if the new magistrate and Huang Daoning work together, they won’t be able to do anything. It won’t be difficult to maintain the current situation.”
“They will definitely join forces!” Zhang Ronghua said. Think of a way to tear open a hole.”
He paused for a moment.
“Xu Xing will not disappoint us!”
” Your Highness,” Chen Youcai voiced out his worries.” Your Highness doesn’t know about this promotion. I’m afraid that there will be a grudge in your heart.”
“Regret?”
Looking at the sky, it was already bright, but dark clouds covered the sky and the sun was faintly discernible. There were gusts of strong winds, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
“There’s nothing to regret.” Chen Youcai’s gaze was firm.
They chatted for a while more.
The two of them had things to do when they separated.
Chen Youcai had to hand over his team to Xu Xing and let him control the situation in Shangjing Prefecture. Zhang Ronghua still had to go to the Hall of Ten Thousand Books later.
At the Imperial Censorate.
Ding Yi, Han Zhenggang, Jin Yaoguang, and the others stood guard at the door. Yang Yi and Qian Ping were still nowhere to be seen. It could only be said that they were not suited to be in politics.
“Brother (Lord)!”
“Let’s talk inside,” Zhang Ronghua called out.
They entered the main hall.
They sat according to their seats.
Jin Yaoguang poured tea and poured a cup for each of them.
“Did anything happen in the Imperial Censorate while I was resting?” asked Zhang Ronghua.
“Everything is normal,” Han Zhenggang reported.
After reporting his work, he took the initiative to leave.
“Are you used to it?” Zhang Ronghua asked after taking a sip of tea.
Jin Yaoguang’s back was as straight as ever. He was only sitting one-third of the way down. He looked respectful.” I’ve gotten used to it these few days. With your guidance, my lord, the layout is going smoothly.”
” You have enough experience,” Zhang Ronghua reminded.” After a period of time, when the opportunity is right, I will promote you.”
“Are you transferring?”
“Not yet!” Zhang Ronghua shook his head.
“Prepare for a rainy day. Otherwise, when that day comes, it will be too late to plan.”
” Please rest assured, Your Excellency. I will not disappoint you!” The three of them expressed their stance.
“I can rest assured that you guys can handle this matter.”
After chatting for a while, they left.
” Brother,” Ding Yi asked seriously, recalling what the Xia Emperor had said two days ago.” Is His Majesty going to transfer you away?”
“You know what His Majesty said. It’s very likely to be a test. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought this up for no reason.” However, this matter involves many things. Firstly, I don’t have enough qualifications. If I want to transfer, I have to take down more people and make others feel afraid, just like when I was in the Spirit Research Department. Let them take the initiative to propose it. Secondly, transferring to the military is more complicated and needs to be planned in advance.”
Ding Yi understood.
He stood up from his chair.
“To the Hall of Ten Thousand Books!” Zhang Ronghua called out.
He opened the door.
Boom! Boom!
The silver-white lightning tore through the sky and spread across the horizon. Violent explosions sounded as if they wanted to destroy everything. The hurricane grew stronger and stronger. Bean-sized raindrops fell, landing on the roof and the ground, emitting a “drip” sound.
” It comes and goes as it pleases,” Zhang Ronghua sighed.” It’s as fickle as a baby.”
He opened the umbrella and walked outside.
Ding Yi followed.
When they arrived at the Hall of Ten Thousand Books, they showed their True Dragon Tokens and Sima let them enter the hall.
Just like before, Ding Yi had already started cultivating the Twelve Heaven Trampling Steps. He had reached the initial stages of the first realm and displayed the power of this movement technique. He flashed back and forth in the hall, leaving behind shadows.
He looked at it for a while.
Seeing that it looked decent, Zhang Ronghua retracted his gaze and walked to the bookshelf. He continued to read it seriously.
There were countless books in the Hall of Ten Thousand Books, and it was impossible to finish them in a day.
Even if he read very quickly, it would still take him some time to comprehend the deeper meaning after reading.
Time didn’t stop. Gungun pushed forward.
Jinlan Lane.
In the capital, it was considered middle-class. Although the people who lived in this area were not rich or noble, they were not bad either. They were either officials or businessmen.
Room 302.
The location was average, with three entrances and three exits. The decoration was ordinary and nothing special. The owner of the mansion was called Qian An, the chief clerk of the logistics department of the Ministry of Works. He was originally Cui Jiancheng’s subordinate. Ever since he lost his power, he resigned from his official position and became a rootless duckweed. He went to seek refuge with Dylon. The other party looked down on him and thought that his ability was too poor and his official position was low. Zhang Ronghua’s momentum was getting stronger and stronger, and Huo Jingxiu came down from the sky. With some methods, he eliminated all of Cui Jiancheng’s subordinates. Some were transferred, some were frozen. He was also one of those who had been shelved. His days were getting more and more difficult. In the end, he directly reported illness and took a long leave. During this period of time, he had been recuperating at home.
He didn’t expect that he would be able to avoid this disaster by accident. Otherwise, he would have been implicated in Sun Jin’s case.
In the study room.
Qian An looked at the letter in his hand with a gloomy expression. He didn’t even need to squeeze it, and it was obvious that water would drip out of it. A murderous aura circulated in his eyes, and because of anger, he clenched his fists tightly.
