After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Chapter 478 Ready to Do

In the court, because the evidence produced by Xu Fulai still needed to be confirmed, and the Left Prime Minister was still the Left Prime Minister after all, the emperor only suspended the Left Prime Minister, who had shouted that he was innocent in the court, from his post for an investigation after reading the evidence, and he was not allowed to go out without permission.

Not only that, Shen Chenli also sent soldiers to guard outside the Zuo Xiang Mansion, and no one was allowed to go out.

Because of this incident, the matter of the treasure was brought up again and discussed in the open.

Even some officials began to privately approach Xu Fulai to ask about the treasure, but Xu Fulai responded with just one sentence.

"If I knew, I wouldn't have waited until now to avenge my entire family. Besides, even if there really is such a treasure, it belongs to Dasheng, the royal family, and the emperor. What does it have to do with you?"

The officials who had been trying to win over Xu Fulai overtly or covertly were suddenly choked. Looking at Xu Fulai's righteous words, they just thought it was outrageous!

Does this person really not want all this gold, silver and jewelry?

The official who was criticized went back home in frustration, but he did not expect that the next day, the upright Lord Xu wrote a memorial and reported all of them to the emperor.

What is being said is that they wanted to seize the royal treasures, which is despicable. From this point, we can see whether some of them have already engaged in corruption in private!

Well, all the impeached officials are numb!

No, how could you do that? It's fine if you don't want to share, but we don't get any substantial benefit from it. Not only that, you haven't had any fire in your house these days, right?

These officials invite you to restaurants for every meal, and you go every time, without missing a single one!

What happened? You still can’t stop talking even after you’ve eaten?

The angry ministers could only shout out in fear that they were wronged and dared not say anything else. They were really frightened by the emperor's close ministers!

However, the emperor was much more talkative this time, or perhaps because there were too many people, so the emperor just gave a few verbal reprimands during the morning court session and then moved on to other things.

This also made everyone behave themselves, and for a while the capital returned to stability. The only difference was that the Left Prime Minister seemed to have been forgotten by everyone, and no one mentioned him anymore!

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and Lord Zuo Xiang waited and waited in his mansion, but he didn't hear any follow-up news about this family-annihilation case, as if it had never happened.

Originally, he was not that panicked. Even if the evidence was conclusive, he had been in the court for many years and had many people supporting him. He could just find a student to cover up the matter.

At most he would be punished by the emperor. Even if he was eventually dismissed from his post, with his connections, he would be able to make a comeback sooner or later.

But what he never expected was that after waiting in the mansion for half a month, there was no movement at all on this matter, as if the matter was exposed just to prevent him from continuing to carry out activities in the court.

This made him feel suspicious. He hadn't done anything out of the ordinary recently, and that incident hadn't been related to him for a long time. The emperor shouldn't be thinking of taking action against him right now!

Just as the Left Prime Minister was thinking about whether to ask a student to investigate the situation, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

"Who?"

The left prime minister's eyes showed a vigilant look. Recently, because he could not leave the house, he did not allow anyone in the family to run to his study, so as not to affect his thinking. The knock on the door at this moment made him immediately alert.

Just then, voices were heard outside the door.

"Student Liu Minzhi has come to pay his respects to the Left Prime Minister."

Liu Minzhi?

The left prime minister became even more alert. This Liu Minzhi had some relationship with the previous Liu Mian. How did he come to his mansion today? Not to mention that there were many officers and soldiers guarding his mansion. How did he get in?

Even though he was very confused, Ran Zuo Xiang chose to open the door when he heard the butler's voice outside the door.

After the door opened, Zuo Xiang looked at the butler standing beside him in confusion, wondering how this person got here?

"Master, this Mr. Liu is very anxious after knowing that you cannot leave the house now. He has thought of many ways to get in. Today, he finally managed to get in by disguising himself as a dung picker. He said he has something urgent to discuss with you."

After listening to what the butler said, the Left Prime Minister finally understood what was going on. After looking at the butler to make sure that there was no problem, he brought Liu Minzhi into the study.

Sitting down in the study, the left prime minister looked at the young man standing respectfully below him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly:

"Why did you come to see me today?"

The matter must be very serious to make him come to him in such a hurry!

Liu Minzhi respectfully bowed to the left prime minister at the top, and then explained the purpose of his visit.

"To answer your question, the reason why I am so anxious is because they are getting a little impatient and seem to want to have a quarrel."

After he said this, Zuo Xiang instantly understood what he meant.

Aren’t they the people he contacted before who wanted weapons?

Back then, his people discovered several mineral deposits and reported them to him. The previous emperor was a fool and only gave him two smaller silver mines. As a result, the emperor happily gave him many rewards and did not notice the mineral deposits that he had secretly withheld.

Therefore, this also fueled his ambition. Not only did he mine the remaining large silver mine, he also had people secretly mine the iron ore and sell it to some people in other countries.

It's a pity that before he could recruit soldiers and horses with all the wealth in his hands, he was intercepted by Shen Chenli!

Not only that, he also discovered what Liu Mian had done. Fortunately, that person had no idea who he was working with before, so he was able to get away.

But now that Shen Chenli became emperor, he didn't dare to make any big moves for a while, which led to the current situation.

The left prime minister thought that of the four countries before, only these two countries remained, and they still wanted him to continue to provide them with weapons.

After much deliberation, Zuo Xiang decided to keep going!

After all, he knew very well that only by feeding these two countries and making Shen Chenli feel a sense of crisis about them would he have more opportunities to continue.

Moreover, only in this way will he have the opportunity to fight against Shen Chenli when he is ready to take action against him. He has to secretly recruit troops while this matter is going on!

After thinking it over, the left prime minister asked Liu Minzhi to come forward and told him what to do next.

Watching Liu Minzhi leaving excitedly, Zuo Xiang knew in his heart that this person was only so respectful to him because of benefits, so he must find a way to get out of this situation as soon as possible.

What they didn't know was that after Liu Minzhi left the Zuo Xiang Mansion, someone had secretly followed him.

Just as Zuo Xiang started to act, another group of people followed suit!

"This coward has finally started. It's worth it for us brothers to wait for him for so many days!"

After seeing their movements, several people in the dark immediately split up and quickly rushed to various places in the capital.
