There are always sick girls with ill intentions towards me

"I'll give you one stick of incense. I want to know all the information about the spies that Nanyue has planted in Da Chu."

Phew!

He stabbed the Dragon Sparrow Sword directly into Mr. Thirteen's thigh.

"Today, only one of you can leave this room."

After saying that, he turned around and left the house.

Ah!

With a scream, blood flowed down Mr. Thirteen's legs to his ankles, quickly staining his robe red.

Su Wanwan raised her hand to wipe the blood from her eyes. She knew exactly what Li Lingge meant.

If she doesn't get that list, she will be of no value.

With this in mind, she suppressed her fear and walked towards Mr. Thirteen step by step.

"It will be a little painful, just bear with it."

Chapter 152: The Queen of Mountains and Peaks

In the quiet courtyard, Mr. Thirteen's screams could be heard from time to time.

Li Lingge turned to look at Di Ying beside him.

"Have you finished reading the manuscript I wrote?"

Di Ying nodded, and then saw Li Lingge extending his hand towards her.

Di Ying: What for?

Li Lingge hooked his finger.

"The talented lady Jiang in the palace also likes to read Dream of the Red Chamber. Please give me the manuscript after you finish reading it. I will send it to the palace."

Di Ying blinked and then spread his hands: No more.

Seeing this, Li Lingge became interested.

"Where did you go?"

He finished writing it before dinner, but during the time it took to eat, Di Ying lost the manuscript he had just read?

Di Ying turned around without any hesitation and pointed at Liu Quan who was about to sneak away.

Following the direction of her finger, Li Lingge's eyes fell on the sneaky Liu Quan.

"stop!"

Liu Quan's body froze, he stood still, and then forced out a big smile.

"Your Majesty."

Li Lingge walked up to Liu Quan and looked the palace steward up and down.

"Do you have the manuscript?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, Liu Quan could only take the manuscript out of his arms.

"Your Majesty, I also think this story is interesting, so I want to follow along and watch it."

Li Lingge did not take the manuscript, but continued to ask.

"Do you know Chaoge Academy?"

"I know!" Liu Quan's eyes turned, "Your Highness, this is the property of the palace, and I have been taking care of it all along."

"But I heard from my sister-in-law that this shop is not on the palace's account, and no money has ever been deposited into the treasury."

Li Lingge's tone was calm, but his eyes were very sharp.

thump!

The next moment, Liu Quan knelt directly on the ground.

"My lord, spare my life."

Snapped!

He slapped himself hard and said with a sad face.

"I was blinded by my own greed, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Lingge leaned forward slightly and stared closely at Liu Quan's cunning eyes.

"The authors of the bookstore at least get paid for their work, but you're just taking advantage of me for free?"

Although he was just a plagiarist, Liu Quan signed his name, used his manuscripts, and even kept them for himself!

"Enter the account. I will enter the bookstore into the palace's account when I return."

At this moment, money is small and saving life is big, so Liu Quan simply gave up this cash cow.

Li Lingge naturally would not be satisfied with this.

"Are you still hiding how many shops you have in your mansion?"

"No more." Liu Quan answered decisively, "Just this one."

Li Lingge nodded and turned to look at Di Ying.

"beat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Quan saw a black shadow appear in front of him.

"Wang—woo!"

boom!

When Di Ying punched him, Liu Quan saw stars.

Before he could even utter the word "Master", Di Ying knocked out one of his back teeth.

"And more, and more!" Liu Quan held his head with both hands, "Don't hit me in the face, thank you!"

Li Lingge raised his hand, and Di Ying stopped.

"Tell me, what else."

Liu Quan covered his swollen cheek.

"There are also five rice shops, four pawnshops, four silk shops, three antique shops, and two Chu houses."

After hearing these shops talking like they were naming dishes, Li Lingge's eyelids twitched.

"You have more shops under your control than the palace?!"

Although the shops of Prince Wei's Mansion were spread all over the Chu State, when it came to the shops in the capital alone, he didn't remember as many as Liu Quan did.

Liu Quan spat out the tooth that was knocked out. His body ached, and his heart ached even more.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will give it to you. I will give it all."

"Go back to the Madam and transfer all the shops to the palace account."

Li Lingge raised his hand and didn't argue any more.

After all, two generations of people have worked in the palace, and it is impossible for him to just beat and kill anyone just because of this matter.

If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. There are endless corrupt officials in the officialdom, let alone a royal palace.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Quan quickly stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a young servant poked his head into the yard.

After seeing Li Lingge, he immediately stepped forward quickly.

"Your Majesty."

"what's up?"

Li Lingge looked into the distance and found nothing unusual.

Before he entered the backyard, he instructed that no one should be disturbed unless it was important.

And the person in front of him was also his spy left in Hongxiu Tower.

After all, it is a spy nest, he must keep track of the situation at all times.

The servant spoke respectfully.

"There are two women wearing veils and hats in Prime Minister Shen's residence who specifically want to see Su Wanwan and refuse to leave."

A woman from the Shen residence? !

Li Lingge showed a puzzled look on his face. A girl from the Shen family came to a brothel so late at night. Shen Yike's family style should not be so bad.

"How do you know they are from the Shen Mansion?"

"I said Su Wanwan was meeting a guest, but that person refused to leave, and then brought up Prime Minister Shen's name." The servant looked in the direction of the lobby and said, "I can't find Mr. Thirteen, and I don't dare to make a decision on my own, so I can only come to find the prince."

"Is he in the lobby?"

"In the private room on the second floor, waiting for Su Wanwan to come over."

At this moment, there was no movement in the room, but there was still some time before the incense stick expired.

Li Lingge raised his chin slightly.

"Take me over there and have a look."

……

Before Li Lingge reached the door, a familiar voice was faintly heard from inside the room.

"Can I still see Su Wanwan today?"

"The young lady has already mentioned Prime Minister Shen's name. I believe that whoever is the guest at Su Wanwan's place should be more tactful."

He gently poked open a corner of the window, and through the small hole he could quickly see the figures of the two women in the room.

Although both of them were still wearing veils in the room, he could not mistake the Queen's curvaceous figure.

Among the women in the Shen family, only the Queen Mother is so tolerant and generous.

But he didn’t quite understand. It was already night time, and the Queen actually came to Hongxiu Tower secretly?

What do you want?

Fortunately, Chen Gongling's cultivation level was comparable to his, otherwise he would not have dared to get so close.

Li Lingge stepped back and whispered in the servant's ear.

"Serve them some good tea and tell them to wait for a moment. After they finish their tea, take them to the backyard to meet Su Wanwan."

The servant nodded to show that he understood.

……

Li Lingge returned to the backyard alone and walked in through the door.

When I walked into Su Wanwan's room again, I could smell a strong smell of blood as soon as I entered the room.

At this moment, only bones were left below Mr. Thirteen's left leg below the knee.

On the side, you can see scattered flesh and blood, and the blood has stained the floor red.

At this moment, Mr. Thirteen has fallen into a coma.

Su Wanwan knelt on the ground, holding a piece of paper in her hand.

Seeing Li Lingge come in, a smile appeared on her face.

However, against the backdrop of the blood all over his body, the smile looked a little weird.

She held the list in both hands and handed it to Li Lingge, as if to seek credit.

"I-I did it."

Although the voice was still a little trembling, it had exceeded Li Lingge's expectations.
