The Holy Lord paced back and forth. After all, he didn't have to worry about these things since the Cui family had amassed huge wealth in the past.
But now all of these have been taken away by Xiao Yan, so this matter still needs to be carefully considered.
"I know. I will find a solution as soon as possible. You should save some money. Now that the Cui family is gone, we are a little behind in making money."
"Also, don't underestimate these civilians. Even though each of them has less money, they are more in number!"
"This will also cost a lot of money. We are still a little weak now and there are many places where we need money."
"These are not enough to overthrow the rule of the Great Zhou."
Upon hearing this, the green snake quickly said, "Don't worry, Lord. We have not given up on collecting money from these people. We just collected less."
"At the same time, we have also accelerated our infiltration of the officials of the Great Zhou. After all, they are very quick in amassing wealth."
"It is their corruption that will accelerate the demise of the Great Zhou."
The Holy Lord nodded with satisfaction.
"You have done a great job in this regard. I will definitely keep it in mind. When my sect accomplishes great things, I will definitely give you a mention."
The Holy Lord will still do the big things, after all, it doesn't cost money.
"Thank you, Holy Lord!"
These subordinates did not feel that this was just empty promises at all, but instead were grateful.
"Okay, our base has just been built. Don't let anyone find you. Cover your tracks well."
Xiao Yan never imagined that the murderer of Sun Ruicai was in the mountains outside the city.
"Your Highness, take a break and have a cup of tea. Now that things have been basically dealt with, there is no need to work so hard."
Ye Youyue felt a little distressed when she saw Xiao Yan who had been busy since he came back.
Xiao Yan looked at the lovely girl in front of him, smiled and said, "Nothing, there are too many things that have been piled up since I went out before."
"If it is not dealt with now, it will affect the officials' work."
"Why didn't you go out with Ling Yao today?"
In the past two days, Ye Youyue went out with Jia Lingyao every day and had a lot of fun.
Ye Youyue pouted and said, "I'm worried that no one will take care of you when you go out, and you don't know how to rest!"
Hearing Ye Youyue's words, Xiao Yan blushed a little.
I brought Jia Lingyao back without considering Ye Youyue's feelings at all, without any buffer at all. The harm I caused can be imagined.
But Ye Youyue did not blame herself at all. Instead, she considered herself in everything.
"Youyue, you really don't blame me?"
Xiao Yan suddenly asked this question, and Ye Youyue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's strange or not, but I feel uncomfortable."
"After all, you brought the person back directly. You should at least come back and tell me about the matter first."
"Bringing him back so suddenly, what do you think would happen if it was someone else?"
In fact, Ye Youyue still wanted Xiao Yan to remember her in his heart. She was not a jealous woman, she just wanted a little respect.
"Yes, I was wrong this time, I won't do it again next time!"
Upon hearing this , Ye 's smiling face turned cold.
"There will be a next time?"
"Why? Can't we two sisters serve you?"
Xiao Yan also didn't expect that Ye Youyue's personality had changed a little since Jia Lingyao came.
Normally, Ye Youyue would never say such words, but today she was indeed abnormal.
"no more chance!"
Xiao Yan grabbed Ye Youyue's hand and
"But aren't we doing well now? You are in my heart!"
Which girl doesn't want to be coaxed? Ye Youyue is no exception.
"Okay, Your Highness, please get busy. I heard from Sister Lingyao that the Marquis will come to Beijing tomorrow, so you should finish the things in your hands as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, you may not have time to deal with these by then."
Xiao Yan was very satisfied with Ye Youyue's understanding, and he would not let her down for this reason.
"Okay, go ahead and do your thing, but tonight you have to..."
Ye Youyue blushed immediately.
"Oh, Your Highness, what are you talking about in broad daylight? I will ignore you!"
After saying this, Ye Youyue ran out with a happy smile.
Xiao Yan heaved a sigh of relief only after Ye Youyue left. To be honest, he was really afraid that Ye Youyue would leave in a fit of anger.
But for Ye Youyue, Donggong is her last home. She really has nowhere to go if she leaves here.
After Ye Youyue left, Xiao Yan began to review the memorials carefully again, and time passed quickly.
It was almost evening when I finished the things I was doing and was about to rest when Duan Tianya came to ask for a meeting.
"How's the investigation going?"
Xiao Yan naturally knew that Duan Tianya came because of the Sun family's affairs.
"Your Highness, I have some clues, but they are useless."
"I visited several households around the Sun family, and someone saw someone sneaking into the Sun family when they got up at night."
"They didn't call because it was none of their business."
Xiao Yan understood the behavior of such people. People were still very averse to things that caused trouble.
"I have also visited the scene and asked the coroner to perform an autopsy. Judging from the situation at the scene, they came here to kidnap someone."
"But it didn't work, so he killed the person."
Xiao Yan immediately had an idea in his mind that these people might be coming for what the Sun family had done recently.
If he could get his support, then there would naturally be some differences. Both the Li and Cui families had fallen, leaving only the Sun family. The target was too obvious.
"Okay, I got it. Follow up on the clues as soon as possible to find the murderer. Send some people to protect the Sun family."
"I don't know if they got what they wanted, so we have to be on guard."
"If not, they will surely come back again. We can capture them directly when the time comes. We also need to send someone to guard the Sun family's workshop to prevent anyone from destroying it."
"Also, spread out your spies. The capital has been too quiet recently. This is not a good sign."
Xiao Yan is now very alert. Hu Zhenghe has been quiet for a while, so this incident might have been arranged by him.
But I have no evidence, so I still need to investigate this matter thoroughly.
"Yes, I understand!"
"By the way, Your Highness, recently the people in the capital have all believed in a certain religion, and many have become its followers."
"I think this matter is of great importance, so I'd better report it to you."
Xiao Yan frowned when he heard this. These sects could not be established casually, because if people believed in these sects, their thoughts would be controlled by these sects.
"Investigate this matter thoroughly and give me a result as soon as possible."
Although the White Lotus Sect acted secretly, they were unaware that their actions had been spotted by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
