As soon as she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong.
She said the same thing after successfully silencing the maid during the last incident involving the palace maid stumbling over the carriage.
As expected, Li Chang'an and the other two once again showed expressions of "I understand now".
Li Yunrui now knows what it means to be speechless with despair. Having done so many bad things, he can never be a good person again; nobody believes him anymore!
Emperor Qing showed no mercy, saying, "When you silence people, you are always very timely and clean."
"Wan'er, mindful of the mother-daughter relationship, forbade Ye Ling'er to tell anyone."
Li Yunrui slumped to the ground, wondering who had set such a trap for him.
There isn't much concrete evidence, because if there were, His Majesty would certainly become suspicious.
Because there was no concrete evidence, letting His Majesty's people see it for themselves only made it impossible for her to explain herself.
Who was behind this scheming?!
Was it Chen Pingping? Or Lin Wan'er herself? Or His Majesty himself?
Emperor Qing said disappointedly, "Even tigers don't eat their cubs... Li Yunrui, you have truly disappointed me!"
Chapter 105 Lin Wan'er Temporarily Manages the Imperial Treasury, Guo Baokun, a Men of Excellence (23)
Lin Gong's death was caused by Li Yunrui's order for him to assassinate Fan Xian.
Therefore, Lin Wan'er now harbors deep hatred for both Li Yunrui and Fan Xian.
This plan was Lin Wan'er's own idea.
However, Li Chang'an made many improvements for her, such as the fact that Lin Wan'er did not take aphrodisiacs at the time.
However, the food that Ye Ling'er took for testing did indeed contain aphrodisiacs, and they were from Huichuntang.
The formula for Huichuntang was also sold by Fei Jie's apprentice on his own.
Li Chang'an was also using their medicine to prepare for dealing with Chen Pingping, and to preserve evidence first.
His Highness the Crown Prince is currently suffering from venereal disease, and the medicine he is taking is also obtained from Huichuntang.
However, the medicine given to the Crown Prince contained potent drugs, which facilitated the illicit relationship between the Crown Prince and Li Yunrui.
All of this was Chen Pingping's doing, and it can only be described as ruthless.
In the original series, the Crown Prince in the second season suddenly became a confident and composed person because his syphilis was cured and his virility was greatly restored.
Chen Pingping was only kind to Fan Xian; he was a madman who wanted to wipe out the entire Li family.
Li Chang'an is the most prestigious member of the royal family, making him highly likely to face retaliation from Chen Pingping, so he needs to prepare early.
As for the maid Xiaoying, she and her family were secretly sent to the Western Qin Kingdom by Jingni's men.
Li Yunrui had completely shut up, because she knew that no one would believe her no matter what she said.
She never expected that instead of being implicated in the real wrongdoings she had committed, she would fall victim to a false accusation.
Emperor Qing continued, "Wan'er is still young. My intention is to let Wan'er manage the Imperial Treasury for a year."
"In this year, we must first find out the extent of the losses incurred by the internal warehouse."
"Take a good look for me and see if there are any problems with the operation of the Imperial Treasury."
"Let's decide who will take over after a year, based on the actual situation of the internal treasury."
Emperor Qing's thinking was that since Lin Wan'er had a close relationship with Lin Gong, it was unlikely that she would marry within three years now that Lin Gong was dead.
Then, a year later, he wouldn't have to fulfill his promise to Lin Wan'er's husband to take over the Imperial Treasury.
If Fan Xian's abilities are honed by then, the handover can be smoothly completed.
After all, if a goddaughter can manage the internal treasury, why can't an illegitimate child? This handover can be considered smooth.
"You three don't object, right?"
The Crown Prince spoke first, "Your Majesty is wise!"
After he finished speaking, Emperor Qing took a sip of tea and didn't reply.
The Crown Prince's eyes darted around frantically, and finally he tried to say, "Wan'er is new to managing important affairs, and I am willing to give her ten seventh-rank guards."
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, Emperor Qing nodded in satisfaction.
Lin Wan'er had no power, so it was obvious why Emperor Qing had summoned the three of them.
Before Li Chengze could speak, Emperor Qing directly named someone, "Chengze has some experts under his command. Give two of the Eight Great Generals to Wan'er."
The Second Prince gasped. Among the Eight Generals, Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu were ninth-rank officials, and the others were at least eighth-rank officials.
Then, Emperor Qing said to Li Chang'an, "Give your two female sword attendants to Wan'er."
Li Chang'an said urgently, "Your Majesty, that's my brother's concubine, not just a maid!"
Emperor Qing said coldly, "I didn't ask you to give your concubines to men, yet you're being so stingy when helping your own niece!"
"Once Wan'er recruits more skilled individuals, she can return it to you."
Lin Wan'er tactfully replied, "Wan'er will arrange for them to return regularly to reunite with Uncle Yong."
Li Chang'an thought to himself, "No need, I will come to see you."
He originally planned to send all six sword slaves to Lin Wan'er's side, as the six of them were enough to withstand a ninth-rank expert.
Emperor Qing's decree was very clear: Lin Wan'er was actually in charge of the audit of Li Yunrui's departure from office.
This is equivalent to auditing the top central enterprise. Although economic relations were relatively simple in this era, a year was still a very tight timeframe.
During this year, Lin Wan'er did not need to completely eliminate the Ming and Cui families, so even if she encountered danger, it would not be too serious.
Emperor Qing continued to say to Lin Wan'er, "I will have Fan Jian lend you a group of officials from the Ministry of Revenue, and you can recruit some more yourself. That should be enough."
Lin Wan'er kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will certainly not fail in my mission."
Emperor Qing then said to Li Yunrui, "Li Yunrui is confined to his quarters for one year and is not allowed to leave without orders!"
"Write another memorial, detailing the events of the Junshan Gathering in detail, without concealing anything!"
"Prince Yong, stay. The rest of you may leave."
Emperor Qing forced Li Yunrui to hand over the imperial treasury, but did not send her to her fiefdom.
Ultimately, they were worried that Ku He would retaliate and kill Li Yunrui.
Li Chang'an was left alone, and Emperor Qing got straight to the point, "When you traveled the martial world, did you ever hear about the Junshan Society, this assassin organization?"
It seems that Chen Pingping did indeed report the existence of the Junshan Society to Emperor Qing in private, but Emperor Qing was unaware of the full picture.
"Your Majesty, Junshan is located on the sea east of Dongyi City, also known as Brokenback Mountain, at the border of Daqing and Dongyi City."
At that time, maritime boundaries were difficult to define, and the ownership of Junshan was basically a matter of who owned it and who owned it.
"Your Majesty, I have never ventured deep into Junshan before and was unaware that there was an assassin organization here."
Emperor Qing frowned and said, "It's not necessarily on Junshan Mountain. The Surveillance Bureau hasn't discovered this organization in all these years. Have the Shadow Guard investigate it as well."
Li Chang'an understood. The Surveillance Bureau was investigating the Junshan Meeting, Li Yunrui was also giving instructions, and Emperor Qing had also asked Li Chang'an to investigate.
This approach ensures that clues are found as quickly as possible and also tests the loyalty of all three parties.
The Shadow Guard's mobs in the martial arts world were all set up with the Emperor's permission, so it's understandable that they would investigate this matter.
After nightfall, Li Chang'an arrived at the royal villa.
Lin Wan'er was in a great mood after successfully completing her mission.
"My lord, just as you said, His Majesty believed it himself without much evidence."
Li Chang'an said, "His Majesty is confident and arrogant; he only believes what he has found out."
If you tell him directly, he'll likely have even more doubts.
Lin Wan'er said sweetly, "My husband has to part with them; I need to borrow Xi Ren and Qing Wen."
Li Chang'an said, "It's alright, I'll lend you all six sword slaves."
“The Cui family, who are the distributors of the Imperial Warehouse, are in the capital, while the Ming family is in Jiangnan. You have to make a trip there once a year.”
"Don't touch them yet. Just find out the profit and loss of the internal treasury and we'll be done."
Lin Wan'er then asked, "What will happen after a year? To whom will His Majesty entrust the Imperial Treasury?"
Li Chang'an gently picked up Lin Wan'er and carried her to the bedside.
"One year from now, His Majesty will have no choice but to formally hand over the Imperial Treasury to you!"
"Wan'er believes in her husband!"
As Lin Wan'er spoke, she suddenly took out a red pill with her right hand.
Li Chang'an was knowledgeable about medicine; he could tell what kind of medicine it was just by its faint smell.
It seems Lin Wan'er was a little disappointed that she didn't get the real aphrodisiac; she's really crazy!
By the time Li Chang'an realized what was happening, Lin Wan'er had already swallowed the pill.
She smiled slyly, and then her voice became alluring and seductive.
