The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Chapter 218: A Big Worm

But it was because he did nothing that he seemed to be going too far. Even Chu Jian would occasionally grumble about Chu Xia's situation, always telling him that Chu Xia was a good person, but he didn't feel any ripples in his heart.

No matter how much she had severed her fate, Chu Xia was always her sister in public, and also the prince's concubine who was listed in the royal jade book.

Three little balls jumped in from outside.

"Ninth Uncle!"

Soft and intermittent voices came over, and people immediately came to the front. The prince's three children were all born to the princess, one boy and two girls, and they were several years old.

"Zhixing greets the Ninth Uncle!" The older boy was more sensible and well-behaved. He straightened his back and bowed to Jing Muyang.

"Yeah, okay." Jing Muyang touched his head.

"Ninth Uncle, mother said that Ninth Uncle gave birth to a younger brother, Zhixi wants to see it."

Zhixi was a bit naughty. As soon as she came over, she leaned on the armrest and stood on tiptoe, but the seat was too high and she couldn't see Siming at all.

"Zhiyao wants to see too." Zhiyao, the youngest child, couldn't even finish her words and couldn't see at all, so she ran to the front and tried to climb onto Jing Muyang to see.

"Okay, okay, I'll show you my little brother, but he just fell asleep, so you can't pinch him."

"Okay." The two little balls agreed happily. Although Zhixing stood aside without moving, his neck was stretched out. Jing Muyang signaled Qingmu to carry Siming down to show these little guys.

I didn't pinch the two little balls, but I couldn't help but touch them.

"Zhixing, you go and take a look too." Jing Muyang patted Zhixing who was still standing next to him, and the boy shyly went over to take a look.

"Ninth Uncle, my younger brother looks exactly like you. Is he your son?" Zhixi asked, raising her cute little head.

"Yes, it was Ninth Prince who gave birth to him." Jing Muyang was amused by her.

"No wonder the Ninth Prince has to sit on the chair and be carried by others. Mother was like this after giving birth to Zhiyao. Ninth Prince, you must drink more chicken soup later." Zhixi had an expression that said "I understand" and successfully made everyone present laugh.

But Jing Muyang suddenly felt sad as he was laughing. Sheng Siming was not around when he first met him.

Mr. Fang Lin told me that even after drinking the labor-inducing soup, the baby was still in labor for more than ten hours and almost had a dystocia. She suffered a lot and her body was seriously injured. She was so weak that she had to lie in bed for three days before getting out of bed.

Even so, she still insisted on keeping the baby with her and feeding him herself, for fear that Siming would be taken away. Those were many days and nights of fear.

As Jing Muyang thought about it, he suddenly felt respect for Fusang again. Fortunately, he had Fusang by Chujian's side for so many days, taking care of Chujian wholeheartedly and selflessly for him.

In order to prevent him from taking his anger out on Fusang, the little maid named Lu Yi told him that she first met Fusang and consummated their marriage after he married Toya.

At that time, Chu Jian was disheartened and had decided to return to Nanbang with Fuso, so there was no betrayal from Chu Jian. It was just the most helpless compromise at the moment, and Fuso was just protecting his beloved, someone who got the person but not the heart.

Compared with Fuso, I am so lucky.

No one knew how Jing Muyang communicated with the imperial harem, but since he took Concubine Yun back to Yonghe Palace, no concubine came to cause trouble again, and the emperor never came either.

However, the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess Chuxia would bring their children to Yonghe Palace to pay their respects every day.

In the temporary palace, the Emperor of Nanbang broke into the palace alone the day after Fusang left with Bai Lishang, despite any obstruction, and insisted that Emperor Lingyin go with him to immediately send troops to destroy Tianshan.

Emperor Lingyin was annoyed with him. Eunuch Liu was right. It was not easy for Lingyin Kingdom to send troops to Tianshan to demand people, but Nanbang could.

Just let that crazy Zhu Yuan make trouble. No matter whether he can bring Chu Jian back to Fuso or not, it would be better to bring Chu Jian back to Nanbang as well. Don't let him come back.

Therefore, the Nanbang Emperor Zhu Yuan did not return to his country, but went directly to Tianshan from Lingyin. He had only one son, Fuso, and he could not let him stay in Tianshan no matter what, especially for the sake of Cheng Quanjingtai, his son. It made him angry just thinking about it.

Although he really wanted to fight with Jingtai, his son was more important, so he had to take Fuso back first.

Toya kept making a fuss. Jing Muyang went to see her once, but she still refused to change her mind and insisted on going back to Prince Zhan's Mansion.

There is no other way but to continue to be cold. If he continues to refuse to listen, Beisai will probably need a new king.

On the seventh day after Chu Jian was taken away, there was a major breakthrough at Qingya. A spy came back with news that traces of Jing Muhao were found in the southwest.

Then Jing Muyun, who was investigating Boss Zhao, also made significant progress. What he sold to Jing Muhao were not just those in the backyard of the Five Princes' Mansion.

Especially those who had been severely eliminated by the eldest princess before, were tracked down and sent to the residences of many local officials or aristocratic families under different appearances.

Moreover, the women sold to Jing Muhao by Boss Zhao were not just the ones listed above, many of them were delivered directly to him.

In the capital, there are many officials and aristocratic families whose homes have women sent by Jing Muhao in various names and in various ways. Some people don’t even know that they were sent by Jing Muhao.

Moreover, these women seemed to have received special training and were very good at whispering in the emperor's ear. They fell into the trap of the Fifth Prince without being careful. By the time they realized it, it was too late. They could only obey Jing Muhao and let him manipulate them.

Jing Muyang and Crown Prince Jing Muchen cooperated highly, and together with Jing Muyun, the three of them investigated this line in detail. They soon uncovered many of Jing Muhao's hidden forces in the court, thus leading to a major case.

No one would have thought that Jing Muhao controlled the entire Ministry of Works, and the amount of money he embezzled was much more than what the Third Prince had snatched from the Ministry of Revenue.

Not only that, he also had spies in various departments, and used all kinds of means to win over powerful forces and embezzle money. The key is that these silver funds seem very reasonable.

For example, there is funding every year for the repair of the orphanage and the improvement of food supplies, and it is repaired and improved every year, but it deteriorates every year, and the children still eat porridge with pickles the most.

For example, when Yangshu Village suffered from floods and droughts two years ago, the river embankment was repaired and disaster relief funds were allocated. However, the river embankment did not function that year. There was no flood the following year, but the embankment broke during the normal flood season. Last year, new funds were allocated.

Not to mention the disaster relief money. When Jing Muyang was recuperating in Yangshu Village, he sent people to investigate a group of people. However, Jing Muhao was not implicated at the time and was simply treated as a case of corruption by local petty officials.

Not to mention the construction of various houses, ships, cars, tools and utensils, which are all basic needs, but the prices of materials and labor for these are all controlled by the Ministry of Industry, and all operations are run by the Ministry of Industry itself.

No one knows when Jing Muhao took control of the Ministry of Works. Even the other princes did not find any flaws when they were inspecting the government in the Ministry of Works.
