The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 293 Then he really raised an outer room

When Du Wan subconsciously pulled her hand away, Pei Hao held on tightly.

He took the opportunity to move his position and sat next to her. "I suspect that Wu Qian had expected this day. He might have raised an outside wife, so he mentioned it to the emperor."

 “Awesome! Then he really raised an outside room?”

 “No.” Pei Hao added half and half.

Just when Du Wan was about to become impatient, Pei Hao revealed an unexpected truth, "His wife and children were not dead thirteen years ago. He hid her and lived under a different identity."

 “Did he really expect this day?”

"Yes, when he was embezzling Mo's army salary, he expected that he would end badly. It happened that a group of bandits appeared in the place where his family lived and killed many people, so he faked the murder of his family and let My wife and children live with different identities.”

“…” Du Wan glanced at him quickly.

 Wu Qianhui confessed, and he played an indispensable role.

Pei Hao went on to say: "The people who ambush my father-in-law, apart from the right minister and the left minister of the household department, were also involved. It can be said that there were seven or eight officials from the household department involved. They were all greedy and had a lot of trouble with their accounts. I was so anxious that if something happened to my father-in-law, the matter would not be investigated."

 “You’re stupid, won’t you burn the account books?” Du Wan thought that this was how TV was programmed.

“Oh, if you can burn down the household department, can you also burn down other departments?”

“…” Du Wan didn’t understand.

 The account book of the Ministry of Accounts is not unique?

Pei Hao quickly answered her doubts, "Every year, the accounts of each department are recorded in a book and sent to the emperor for approval. After the emperor reads it, if there are no problems, it will be sealed. Therefore, even if the account books of the Ministry of Accounts are burned, it will be a delay at most. The fundamental problem cannot be solved for a while.”

This time Du Wan understood.

  It means that there is a backup in the palace and it will be useless if it is burned.

 The emperor has been paying close attention to this case.

   Officials from the Ministry of Punishment can't do anything unless they try their best to investigate.

Pei Hao vaguely noticed that the emperor's mentality had changed. In the past, the emperor was quite tolerant and would turn a blind eye to certain things. After all, officials in the court were corrupt and it did not happen overnight. He could not kill all of them even if he wanted to. of. This year, batch after batch of people were suddenly killed, and the killings made officials in the DPRK and Central Government terrified.

Pei Hao deliberately whetted his appetite, "Wanwan, I heard an interesting rumor. Do you want to listen to it?"

"What rumors?" Du Wan's big moist eyes were shining brightly, while she was looking at Pei Hao and eating dried fruit. Now my mind is full of gossip, and what happened just now has long been forgotten.

Pei Hao leaned towards Du Wan, as if he had some taboo, and whispered into her ear: "There is a rumor that if the emperor continues to be arrested like this, there will be no officials in the capital."

"It's really possible." Du Wan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Officials who used to be transferred abroad all wanted to be transferred back. Now it's interesting. Many officials in the capital are thinking about being transferred overseas. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so there is no need to worry too much." There are not many officials who want to be transferred. A clean person, of course I want to leave as soon as possible.

Du Wan thought of the situation in the capital where there were no officials and no one available.

The emperor used to have such scruples, but I don’t know what happened recently. He suddenly became decisive and decisive. He arrested those who were found out, removed them from their posts and imprisoned them, ransacked their homes and killed people. They all showed a desperate momentum. Pei Hao personally supported the emperor's approach.

As Du Wan once said, if you are sick, treat it as soon as possible. When it becomes a serious illness, you will not be able to cure it even if you want to. The same goes for governing a country. Knowing there is a problem but not dealing with it. If it goes on for a long time, the problem will only get bigger and bigger, until it breaks up the Qin Kingdom.

If Du Wan knew what Pei Hao was thinking.

　　　I will definitely tell him that Da Qin is hopeless!

Du Wan looked at the things on the tea table and asked, "Does it count as my paying the bill today?"

"Do you think this is meal money?" Pei Hao pointed to the snacks on the table.

No matter how unconscionable Du Wan is, it’s hard to say that it’s food money. “Are you hungry? I’ll treat you to dinner. Does this teahouse still sell food?”

"It's for sale, but you have to book it in advance." Pei Hao looked at her and said. Du Wan understood that it meant a private restaurant.

 I didn’t expect the villain to be very good at doing business.

Du Wan said: "Then did you say hello in advance?"

"Booked."

“That’s alright, I’ll pay the bill when you eat later.” Du Wan said, but she couldn’t help but curse in her heart. The villain is such a badass. He wants to treat people to his own shop?

Du Wan wanted to go back to his thoughts, but his face didn't show it at all.

Pei Hao pulled a thread and pulled it three times. After a while, a waiter came up to greet him. He didn't say much, just let them serve.

 In a short while.

 The things on the tea table were removed and replaced with four dishes, a combination of meat and vegetables, and a jug of wine.

Du Wan looked at the dishes on the table and was surprised for a while.

 When I came to this world, it was the first time I saw dishes and they were arranged on plates. Even when I ate in the palace, I was not so particular. The dishes presented are very exquisite and beautiful, each plate is like a painting. No wonder the dishes at Juyuan Teahouse require reservations in advance.

 Dishes get cold quickly in winter, so they should be eaten as soon as possible.

Du Wan held the chopsticks and was a little at a loss as to what to do.

Pei Hao smiled, picked up the serving chopsticks, picked up a thin piece of fish fillet, and put it on the blue and white porcelain plate in front of Du Wan, "Eat it. It is said that the chef in this building has extremely superb cooking skills. I just don't know if it suits him. Your taste."

Ah!

There are still rumors?

Thought she didn't know about this building. Is he the boss?

Du Wan picked up the vegetables and was heartbroken.

This matter was a secret, and he really thought she didn't know.

 I didn’t try to expose his tricks, just let’s see how he plays them. With this little thought in mind, Du Wan happily ate the delicious food as if she had seen through his mentality.

Pei Hao vaguely felt that something was wrong in the little girl's eyes.

 But he never expected that she would know that Juyuan Building belonged to him.

Even if he knew that her abilities were incredible, Pei Hao would open a teahouse and just give some suggestions and let the people below do it. As the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, it is impossible for him to do such small things as running a business himself.

 About half an hour later.

Du Wan touched his belly and found that he was very full today.

 It was a very pleasant meal, and Du Wan was happy to pay for it.

　　There was a slight accident when paying the bill. The reason was that the shopkeeper told her, "Princess, the meals at Juyuanlou are only served after paying in advance."

Did Pei Hao pay for this accident?

Du Wan looked at Pei Hao with a half-smile, "How much is it?"

　　"Forget this meal, let's make another appointment?" Pei Hao placed his hands on his legs and squeezed them slightly.

Du Wan said falsely, "No need, I will give you the money."

"It doesn't matter. If you go out to eat and ask a girl to pay the bill, what does it sound like? Rumor has it that the reputation of the prince is gone."

 …”Dog man!

Du Wan guessed his intention. She was familiar with this routine.
