A black shadow flashed in the courtyard of the prime minister's residence at a time when it was not too late at night. The guard there is loose, so that the figure can freely enter other buildings.
His all-black clothes make the figure blend with the darkness of the night, disguising himself until he reaches in front of a most luxurious building.
From within, a loud cry broke the silence. The maids that were around there were running out to save themselves. When the servants flashed before him, the figure immediately hid behind a tree or a flower grove. After no one else, he moved back.
“Basic of a disobedient child! Instead of studying, he ran to Chen's country!” shouted the prime minister.
His emotions that had risen to the crown broke when he found out that his second useless son, Liu Qingti, had gone to follow Baili Qingyan back to the Chen Empire.
“Say! Why did the Liu family give birth to such a useless child?”
The prime minister was furious. So did Mrs Gao. Their delinquent and extremely brash second son had truly gone too far.
If it were just messing around in brothels or lazing around, or spending money in gambling arenas and restaurants, the prime minister and his wife wouldn't be this angry. At most they would just punish him by kneeling in the courtyard all day and cutting off his monthly money.
At least the son was still home. It's okay if she shaves her hair out. Now, he had instead dared to leave Bingyue to follow Baili Qingyan, even without her permission! It was the same as a rebellion in the family! To whom should the prime minister and his wife vent their anger?
“It seems that the Prime Minister is really angry,” said the figure. Her voice is so clear. That's a female voice.
The prime minister and Mrs Gao immediately turned their heads. They found a black-clothed figure entering the residence with very regular steps. When the figure reached in front of the two, he opened his hood. Her face was a very pretty face, and her hair was neatly carried. Apparently, really female.
“You!” surprise the prime minister.
“Prime Minister, I need to talk to you.”
Hearing that, he glanced at Madam Gao. The prime minister's face was obviously very unhappy. But, since that figure came here, it meant that there was something important to talk about. The prime minister then told his wife to come out, and let them talk together. He also said that no one should bother him.
“How dare you come to my residence!” the prime minister said after the door was closed.
The figure smiled faintly, then walked over and sat down on the chair. He took a cup of tea and poured water from the teapot, then he sipped the aroma slowly.
“The Prime Minister's residence is indeed very unfriendly. It is only fitting that your son fled to Chen,” taunted the woman. The prime minister's face flushed.
“Say, what do you want to talk about?” ask the prime minister.
“My men were arrested by King Changle. I need your help,” replied the woman.
The prime minister was very unhappy. He was angry that his son had run away. Some of the problems that have recently occurred have not been fully resolved and have kept him from eating liver for days. Now, this woman came boldly and asked for her help.
What did he say just now? He asked for help to free his men from the hands of King Changle?
“It has nothing to do with me. If you want, you release them yourself,” reject the prime minister.
The woman grinned strangely. He thought it was time to open a card that would make the prime minister want to help him.
Inevitably, the prime minister was forced to weaken his own eyes. This crazy woman had something that could make her obedient and had no choice. He sighed for a moment before continuing the conversation. The anger inside his chest was still rumbling, but he tried to hold it back until this conversation was over.
“Are they so important to you?” ask the prime minister again.
The woman silently smiled her little smile. The bait he gave was already taken, and the card he took out was not in vain.
“Not really. They are just a bunch of stupid humans who shouldn't be here, ” replied the woman.
The prime minister turned. His emotions are back. When he thought about the meaning of the woman's words, all the rumbling in his chest became uncontrollable. The prime minister kicked the table until it was ‘brak’ and the table immediately collapsed. The equipment on it fell and broke.
“Wang Yiyuan! You hired a southerner?!”
The woman – Wang Yiyuan, nodded calmly. His job is a black businessman, likes to trade stolen goods and looting. On the black market, he's the number one boss. All this time no one knew for sure that she was a woman, because Wang Yiyuan had always been behind the curtains and arranged everything from behind the scenes.
In this Bingyue, almost all places of business were related to him. Those who want advanced business but do not want to go out of capital are the people. The information is very fast and a lot. Ordinary people would not be able to meet him. It was a great honor when the mysterious number one black market ruler of Bingyue came to the prime minister's residence voluntarily.
The relationship behind it is not simple. Wang Yiyuan's dark enterprise arena would not be as easy to spread throughout Bingyue without the intervention of the ruler. Wang Yiyuan had made a deal with the prime minister, and the prime minister had received a huge profit from the business.
Two years ago, she helped and took advantage of illegal immigrants from the south and hired them in a fake jewelry business. At first everything was fine, until he heard the news that the men had captured King Changle and were taken to a secret prison. Wang Yiyuan did not care about their lives, but he was worried that they would put his business at risk.
“It doesn't matter. You just need to make them shut their mouths,” Wang Yiyuan said. He knew that only this greedy old man could do it.
“Are you crazy? I can't do it!” the prime minister.
In this Bingyue, other than the emperor's palace, there was only one place that he could not touch, the mansion of King Changle. Emperor Baili did manage to insert a spy into his uncle's mansion, but that doesn't mean the same goes for him. Let alone spies, not even a scout could he send to King Changle's mansion.
King Changle – Baili Qingchen, seems to have deliberately let Emperor Baili's spy enter his residence. No matter what the reason, he also did not know. The request that Wang Yiyuan had just said was extremely impossible, because King Changle's mansion could not be reached easily. Especially if you have to break into a secret prison, whose guard is tighter than the imperial prison.
“Isn't your daughter Princess Consort Changle?”
“Omong empty! I've never had a daughter at that dawn!”
Wang Yiyuan was unwilling to hear any reason. To him, business is business. The prime minister has received many benefits from him, and now it is time he helped him. Something this small can't be difficult to do.
What's wrong with telling his daughter to persuade King Changle? Perhaps King Changle followed his words. Later news of the imperial city said that King Changle's relationship with the Princess Empress was quite good.
“I don't want to know. If you don't want your source of money cut off, then complete my request.”
Then, Wang Yiyuan jumped through the window. His head was again covered in a hood, and within a few moments he had already disappeared. The prime minister was still in his place. It was not the disconnected source of money he was thinking about now, but rather the impact it would have if the request was not approved.
If those southerners really opened their mouths and told who their master was, then trouble would surely slowly seep in and be fixed on him. She was still dizzy thinking about her son's runaway problems and her daughter's null and void marriage.
Wang Yiyuan had really given him trouble!
