Chapter 458: Money is not to be challenged
It was already night, and Qian Qian was curled up in the warm second floor of the RV and threw the memorial aside.
The system snorted coldly and remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, he said indifferently, "Those dozen young officials are just people seeking fame and reputation."
[They are not really standing up for the miners you killed. They, haha,] the system sneered and continued, [They just want to use this incident as a stepping stone.]
【A stepping stone? 】
Qian Qian seemed to understand something, raised his eyebrows and sneered, "That's a nice thought."
[It's more than wishful thinking.] The system is really angry. [They think you are just a woman, so they want to control you.]
[Control who? Control me? Are they crazy or stupid? ]
[Hmph,] the system said disdainfully, [Some men are just so confident.]
[Some men don’t consider ability, strength, or power when faced with a situation.]
[As long as the other person is a woman, he will naturally want to suppress her and exploit her to the utmost.]
[No matter what the other party's identity or family background is, as long as the other party is a woman, they feel that they can play with her at will...]
Money money...
[Hahaha, these dozen people are really interesting. ]
The next day.
After breakfast, Qian Qian summoned the dozen officials who had submitted memorials overnight, as well as Ma Dequan and Lin You, into the meeting room on the first floor of the RV.
There were only three chairs in the meeting room, and Naz and Hadir were serving Qianqian.
Thirteen young officials arrived, and Ma Dequan and Lin You followed behind them with gloomy faces.
Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to Qian Qian in unison. Qian Qian ignored the other officials and gave seats to Ma Dequan and Lin You.
Ma Dequan's old face turned red. Even at his age, he could still make mistakes.
Lin You was much calmer. After all, he was not a god. Although these officials were young, they were also good at disguise.
It's not normal to make mistakes.
But in the future, we must be more cautious in hiring people.
The two of them had different thoughts, but Qian Qian was calm and said, "Nazi, I remember Lu Yu made some new snacks. Let Uncle Ma and Brother You have some new snacks to try."
"Yes."
Nazi respectfully responded and went down to prepare.
Qian Qian looked at the young officials kneeling on the ground with a half-smile. These people seemed to be upright and incorruptible.
She said calmly, "I have read your memorials."
The young officials were ready to make a move, but the empress changed her tone and said, "The person is dead, what's the point of you saying those nonsense?"
Young officials...
Ma Dequan...
Lin You...
It’s money indeed.
The young officials immediately showed disapproval on their faces. One of them knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, why did you kill most of the miners without any reason?"
"Your Majesty, please give a reasonable explanation."
"Hahahaha," Qian Qian laughed disdainfully, "Zhao Tianyi, you are a filthy bastard who pretends to be a legitimate son. What qualifications do you have to ask me to explain to you?"
Inside the room, people could hear gasps of air coming from the cold air.
Zhao Tianyi was so shocked that he was sweating profusely. He could never have imagined that the biggest secret between him and his father and mother would be revealed to the world in this way.
"His Majesty,"
Qian Qian interrupted his sophistry, "It's just that your stepmother is pitiful. She still doesn't know your true identity and has taken a thief as her son."
"My own son was picked up by a farmer, abused and tortured since childhood, and sold to a mining town by the family who adopted him, where he lived in misery."
Qian Qian raised his hand and said, "Someone, send the real Zhao Tianyi to the Zhao Mansion, along with this fake one."
Zhao Tianyi's hands were immediately restrained by the secret guards. Qian Qian sneered, "Zhao Tianyi, you must have taken in many concubines in your backyard over the years."
"Don't you know that there are laws and regulations on how many concubines an official in Daxia can take?"
"You openly disregarded the law and challenged me," Qian Qian walked towards Zhao Tianyi, stepped on his shoulder, leaned down, hooked his lips and looked into his eyes, "You are finished!"
“Hahahahahaha,” Qian Qian laughed wantonly, but after laughing he felt regretful, “Alas, it’s a pity that this thing is so spineless.”
"Apart from the concubine and my background, I didn't dare to do anything else evil."
"Hahaha," Ma Dequan also laughed, "It's okay, it's okay. Just provoking His Majesty is enough to make him suffer."
Qian Qian nodded and asked the secret guard to take Zhao Tianyi away.
Ma Dequan immediately ordered his confidants to supervise the entire process of Zhao Tianyi's affairs.
Zhao Tianyi looked as pale as death, and the other officials were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.
Qian Qian turned around and sat back in his seat. "Come on, let me see who's next?"
The officials kneeling below trembled in unison and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Pfft," Lin You sneered, "You're begging for mercy now?"
"Oh, it's too late."
Qian Qian dealt with all these dozen young officials, and Ma Dequan and Lin You actively cooperated.
It was still early, so Qianqian helped them identify the people they brought with them.
Among them, there are some with poor character, but there are also many with excellent character and outstanding abilities.
Ma Dequan and Lin You happily accepted it all, and Qian Qian gave them the details of what all the surviving miners were good at.
In this way, the miners' affairs were handled by Ma Dequan and Lin You.
Qianqian finally had some free time. When he had nothing to do, he would sit on Erdan's back and take a walk in the underground mining city.
After a few days, the surface area of the underground mining city was completely uncovered.
Qian Qian felt heavy in her heart as she looked at the underground mining city which was larger than she had imagined.
The layout of the mining city is messy and the mining of energy stones is disorganized.
Many normal people in the tunnels cannot stand at all, and can only squat or lie down to carry out energy stone mining operations.
Qian Qian was frightened as he watched, but at the same time he was also shocked by the fiery red energy stone mine.
【Tongzi, red energy stone.】
[And this is such a large energy stone mine. This is the first time I have seen it. ]
[It’s not just you,] the system sighed, [It’s the first time I’ve seen this, too.]
[Money, this red energy stone is very rare.]
[And the energy that this energy stone can generate is even more amazing. ]
[Ordinary energy stones are not good enough in front of it. Only core energy can compete with the energy of red energy stones. ]
Money money...
[So, those people were willing to build an underground mining city here. ]
[Tongzi,] Qianqian suddenly remembered something, [Can you find out the direction of all these red energy stones?]
[Okay,] the system was excited, [Qianqian, you want to take back all the red energy stones.]
[Yes,] Qian Qian's eyes were deep, [It is better for things like this to be controlled by the royal family.]
[Okay,] the system said seriously, [I will retrieve all the energy stones that have leaked out.]
【Thanks a lot. 】
Qian Qian handed over the affairs of the underground mining city to Ma Dequan and Lin You, and told them that they wanted to recover all the red energy stones that had leaked out.
Ma Dequan and Lin You both supported it, but this might involve many people and things.
So the two of them sent secret letters overnight to seek support from Juecheng, Xuanbicheng and nearby cities.
Qian Qian handed over the matter and set off again with Wu Wanwan, Taoer and others.
But this time, there was a woman named Aying in the six-wheeled vehicle.
Nazi, Hadiel, and Lu Yu crossed their arms and looked at Aying warily, "Tell me, what is your intention in approaching His Majesty?"
Ah Ying...
Wuwuwu, why can't the goddess love me alone, wuwuwu...
