Chapter 700

"Prince Cao's Mansion?"

Mei Changsu frowned and was about to leave.

But he saw a team of officials appear.

The doorman did not block them this time and let them in.

This made Mei Changsu's heart sink!

He had a bad premonition! 【483】 Mr. Mei is numb! Intercepted again, Prince Cao is ecstatic, Jia Hui is secretly happy.

【483】 Mr. Mei is numb! Intercepted again, Prince Cao is ecstatic, Jia Hui is secretly happy.

Feiliu saw that the officials could enter, but they couldn't.

Immediately, without any sense of the situation, he said angrily, "Why can they enter, but we can't."

"They are people from the Jingzhao Prefecture."

Looking at this little brat, the doorman said coldly.

Mei Changsu immediately stopped Feiliu, who was about to say something more.

He asked the doorman politely: "I don't know what happened at the mansion?"

"Our master bought this Lan Garden, and when the servants were cleaning, they found skeletons in the well."

"So the master asked us to report the case."

After hearing this.

Mei Changsu was instantly numb!

The smile on his face froze!

His plan, again, again, and again, had gone bankrupt?

How could he play this.

"Don't panic... stay steady, there is still a turning point!"

"Maybe the people from the yamen won't find anything."

Mei Changsu comforted himself.

Then Mei Changsu did not choose to leave.

But watched from the sidelines.

He discovered that the Jingzhao Prefecture yamen had found nearly ten corpses in the well, all of which had completely rotted.

After the coroner's examination, it was determined that they were all female.

Only then did he leave.

When he left, his expression was solemn.

And what he didn't know was.

At this moment, Man Chong had already found Prince Cao.

Together with him was Mao Jie, who worked in the Ministry of Revenue.

"You say, you have already found out about the Lan Garden, used to entertain some court officials who dare not enter brothels openly?"

"The skeletons buried in the dry well were some girls who were accidentally killed."

Prince Cao was surprised.

At first, he didn't realize anything.

Until Man Chong nodded: "That's right, Your Highness, this is a roster I collected and organized, which involves many important court officials, including the Crown Prince's important minister—Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lou Zhi Jing, who is on the list."

Prince Cao was instantly ecstatic!

This meant he could topple an important official of the Ministry of Revenue!

Most importantly.

The other party was also the Crown Prince's man!

Previously, the Crown Prince was grounded.

And lost the son of the Sima family, and the old Sima was also demoted by one rank.

His strength had already suffered quite a bit.

If he lost a Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue this time.

His strength would inevitably be severely damaged!

After all, this was the Crown Prince's money bag.

Without the money bag, how many people would be willing to follow him?

If operated well.

He could also obtain many other benefits.

He had always believed that he was the one who should sit on that throne.

The Crown Prince was simply not worthy.

In this way, he had hope of becoming the new Crown Prince!

So he was very satisfied looking at Man Chong and Mao Jie who came to report the news!

These two were clearly coming to defect to him!

And this was a letter of intent to inform him.

"Two officials, don't worry."

"After I ascend the throne, you will both be my pillars of state!"

Prince Cao said, his face flushed with excitement.

His current strength was weaker than the Crown Prince and Prince Yu.

Now two fifth-rank civil officials had come to defect to him.

It could be said that it increased his strength.

And quite a bit.

So he was very satisfied.

He even believed that he was the Son of Heaven!

Man Chong and Mao Jie, two great talents, were both willing to defect to him!

They had vision!

Man Chong and Mao Jie sneered in their hearts, while on the surface, they smiled respectfully at Prince Cao.

So they started to discuss secretly with the two.

Man Chong was now from the Ministry of Justice, so Prince Cao asked him to make the Lou Zhi Jing case an ironclad case in the Ministry of Justice.

Then after Lou Zhi Jing fell.

Prince Cao's power would fully support Mao Jie's further advancement.

It was a bit difficult for the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

After all, Mao Jie had only been an official for how long? His seniority was too shallow.

Basically impossible.

However, the vacant position.

Many officials would move up level by level.

Now he was an Assistant Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, fifth rank.

It was not a problem to go a step further and become a Director, regular fifth rank.

Because the six ministries only had Ministers of the first rank, and Left and Right Vice Ministers of the second rank.

And there were no vacancies from the second rank to the fourth rank.

Only the regular fifth rank.

Therefore, a regular fifth-rank Director was only one step away from the Left and Right Vice Ministers.

Of course.

In reality, it was unlikely that they would let you be promoted like this directly.

They would promote you to be a Reader of the Cabinet, Reader of the Hanlin Academy, or Lecturer of the Hanlin Academy of the fourth rank.

Or send you to a local post. ===== CHAPTER 701 =====
