The wife of a powerful minister?Don't worry, I'll take back my destiny first

As he spoke, Ye Xi winked at Xiao Tai and said with a smile: "Why don't you, sir, stop condescending to come to a humble house to have a meal in the future. Wherever the food is delicious, you should go and eat there."

"Our temple here is small and cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you."

Xiao Tai laughed angrily: "Okay, you and your family are just bullying me because I am alone, and no one can help me, right?"

"Yes~"

"Yes~"

Ye Xi and Ni Ge said at the same time, and Ni Chen narrowed his fox eyes and smiled until he couldn't see his eyes.

Xiao Tai hugged Ni Chen in his arms and rubbed Ni Chen's head vigorously: "Huh, you are the most heartless kid. You came to bully uncle with your parents, right?"

Ni Chen leaned in Xiao Tai's arms and laughed non-stop. He really hoped that his parents would always have such a tacit understanding like they did tonight.

Maybe, as long as parents get along like this for a long time, they will also develop feelings for each other, right?

"Master!" A secret guard suddenly appeared in front of the door. Looking at the smiling people, he reported: "Master, Xiao Zhenbang has arrived at the county government office and is getting angry!"

"Xiao Zhenbang?" Xiao Tai stood up, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and sneered: "He came really fast."

Ye Xi was confused: "Who is Xiao Zhenbang?"

Xiao Tai's eyes were full of coldness: "The third son of the Xiao family, his status in the Xiao family is second only to Xiao Zhenye who was trained as the head of the family, and he is a close confidant of Prince Ding."

Ye Xi suddenly realized: "Is he here for the gold mine?"

Ni Ge suddenly said: "Cousin, I want to meet Xiao Zhenbang."

Xiao Tai glanced at Ni Ge, thought for a moment and said, "They are your subjects. You might as well go out and meet them in person."

Now that he was at peace, why not?

Xiao Tai took Ni Ge to the county government office. Before they reached the backyard, they heard the sound of broken porcelain.

"Hey! Young Master Xiao is so angry, don't make yourself angry." Xiao Tai said angrily before he entered the door.

"Xiao Tai, you are such a bastard! Your father finally got you a job as a seventh-grade county magistrate, and this is how you do it? Hmm!" Xiao Zhenbang picked up the tea bowl angrily and threw it at Xiao Tai.

As soon as Xiao Tai raised his hand, he caught the tea bowl, and even the tea that spilled out of the tea bowl was caught by him smoothly back into the tea bowl.

Xiao Tai looked at the furious Xiao Zhenbang and said with a smile: "Third Young Master, as soon as I came to Kaiyang County, I discovered a gold mine. You don't praise me for such an achievement?"

"Praise you? I still want to kill you!" Xiao Zhenbang stood up, pointed at Xiao Tai's nose and cursed: "You are a guy who has failed to achieve anything but failed. Do you know that you ruined the prince's important affairs?"

"Which prince's important matter have I ruined?" Xiao Tai asked pretending to be puzzled: "According to the laws of Xuanyue Kingdom, all gold mines belong to the state, and no one, including princes and princesses, can mine them privately. It is against the law. It is a capital offense. As the Third Young Master said, could it be that some prince is secretly mining this gold mine?"

"Is he King Yong or King Ding? What is his purpose of secretly mining gold? No, I have to interrogate Wang Zicheng overnight to see if I can get any breakthrough from him?"

"Thank you, Third Young Master, for giving me such a good clue. If I succeed in deceiving the prince, will he tell me which prince he is working for?"

"Shut up!" Xiao Zhenbang raised his palm and hit Xiao Tai. Just as his hand was about to slap Xiao Tai's face, a hand grabbed his wrist firmly, preventing him from moving even half a minute. Xiao Zhenbang looked at Ni Ge who was standing in front of Xiao Tai and asked displeasedly: "Let go of your dirty hands! Otherwise, I will never give you mercy."

Ni Ge chuckled: "Okay, if Third Young Master asks you to let go, we'll just let it go."

After saying that, Ni Ge gently pushed Xiao Zhenbang's hand, and Xiao Zhenbang sat on the ground disobediently. What frightened him even more was that he couldn't exert any strength while sitting on the ground.

Xiao Zhenbang's face became particularly ugly, and he glared at Ni Ge: "What do you want to do?"

Ni Ge looked at Xiao Zhenbang with a half-smile but not a smile: "The Third Young Master has done countless things by unscrupulous means when working for Prince Ding, right?"

"Every time the local tribute to the given king passes through the hands of the third master, it will be reduced by one or two tenths."

"Third Young Master, I wonder if Prince Ding finds out about these things, will you still have a way to survive?"

"You - dare to slander me?" Xiao Zhenbang looked at Ni Ge angrily. He wanted to get up from the ground, but he couldn't use any strength.

Ni Ge smiled mockingly: "Whether it is slander or not, Prince Ding will know if he is willing to investigate. For example, if he sends someone to No. 17, Xiliu Lane, in the imperial capital, to investigate, wouldn't the truth be revealed?"

"You -" Xiao Zhenbang looked at Ni Ge in disbelief. No. 17, Xiliu Lane, was indeed Xiao Zhenbang's secret warehouse. All the things stored in it were donated by Wang Zicheng and others to King Ding. There are gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and countless money and food.

On the surface, it looks like an inconspicuous private residence. In fact, the underground palace has four floors. The total contents of each floor are comparable to the emperor's treasury.

Xiao Zhenbang lives up to his name, he just wants to be the leader of a country.

Ni Ge lowered his head, reached out and patted Xiao Zhenbang's face gently, and sneered: "Xiao Zhenbang, you said that if King Ding knew that you had the intention of replacing him, would your life still be there?"

Xiao Zhenbang turned pale instantly. He looked at Ni Ge and wondered how this young man he had never met knew so many of his secrets.

To know what happened to him at No. 17 Xiliu Lane, even the head of the Xiao family and his eldest brother Xiao Zhenye didn't know.

"You, how do you know these things?" Xiao Zhenbang looked at Ni Ge, with finally a little more fear in his eyes.

"Don't worry about how I know it?" Ni Ge sneered: "You just need to know that your life is in my hands. I will strangle you to death, as easy as crushing an ant. I want to destroy you. It’s easy to destroy a family.”

Xiao Zhenbang took a deep breath, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face. He knew what Ni Ge said was right. In terms of force, he and Ni Ge had just fought. In terms of conspiracies, as long as Ni Ge exposes what happened to him in Xiliu Lane, there will be many people who want the Xiao family to be destroyed.

Even Ni Ge doesn't have to take action himself. As long as the news is released, the Xiao family will face disaster.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Xiao Zhenbang lowered his head: "You know, I don't dare to bet the entire Xiao family with you."

Ni Ge smiled faintly and reached out to help Xiao Zhenbang up: "I want you to assist me in becoming emperor, otherwise, you and the Xiao family will cease to exist in this world."

Xiao Zhenbang looked at Ni Ge in surprise: "You also want to be emperor?"

Ni Ge looked at Xiao Zhenbang coldly: "You want to be the emperor, why can't I think about it?"

Xiao Zhenbang choked and then sarcastically said: "Sir, being an emperor is not that easy. If you want to be an emperor, you can't do it except through conspiracy and force."
