Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 168

"Yes, yes, that's what he did when he turned around!"

Li was immediately overjoyed.

When Lu Hao heard this, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had eaten a dead fly.

All along, he had been guessing who was trying to kill him behind the scenes, but to his surprise, it was the empress dowager in the palace.

Because the action he just made was Eunuch Yan's signature waist twisting action.

Eunuch Yan came to Li Xiao for business, so he was naturally sent by the Queen Mother.

No wonder Li Xiao didn’t reveal the person behind the scenes even if he died.

Now all the mysteries have been solved.

Moreover, the killer of the Blood Clothes Sect was hired by the Empress Dowager to attack him.

After helping the emperor to raise funds, Lu Hao thought that the empress dowager had changed her mind about him.

Originally, he wanted to be loyal to the Empress Dowager and help her deal with Yu Qian and Yu Wenji. Unexpectedly, the person who wanted to kill him first was actually this old witch.

Lu Hao felt that his faith had collapsed.

"Ms. Li, this is a banknote of 1 taels of silver. You can use this money as living expenses for your family in the future."

Lu Hao took out a banknote and handed it to her.

"Sir, this little woman deserves no reward for her merits!"

Lee said.

"This is Li Xiao's pension, just take it."

As Lu Hao spoke, he turned to look at Zhang Zhongwei and said, "Mr. Zhang, send a carriage to the Li family and let them go wherever they want."

"Little woman, thank you, sir!"

Li was deeply moved.

"Ms. Li, remember, don't tell others where you are going? Also, don't mention what you said to me today, okay?"

Lu Hao warned solemnly.

"Little women understand!"

Mrs. Li bowed and followed Mr. Zhao.

Lu Hao sat on the chair, his whole body seemed to be hollowed out, and he felt so tired.

Although he had always reiterated in front of the Queen Mother that he would be loyal to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother still wanted to kill him.

This also shows that Dugu Shenyong and Dugu Yi did not tell the Queen Mother that they were theirs.

Of course, if he told the Empress Dowager that he was once a secret spy placed by Dugu Shenyong beside the emperor, it would be a dead end.

To be honest, if Lu Hao hadn't kept a low profile and was unwilling to reveal his strength, he would have been killed by the killer long ago.

Speaking of which, for the sake of his life, Dugu Shenyong found someone to forcefully use the method of enlightenment on him, which can be regarded as saving his life.

Thinking about it now, Dugu Shenyong didn't tell the Empress Dowager his identity because he was on guard against this old witch.

After a while, Zhang Zhongwei returned and reported that Mr. Li and his family had left.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?"

Zhang Zhongwei couldn't help but worry when he saw him listless.

"Sir Zhang, whether I take over the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Supervision Department, I always adhere to one principle, that is, everything is for the empire."

"But no matter how hard you try, you're still not a chess piece that can be discarded at any time. Don't you think that's sad?"

Lu Hao came to his senses and said slowly.

"Sir, please don't be discouraged. Now that the Supervision Department is under your governance, we have seen hope again. Brothers are willing to follow you. Don't be defeated by a little thing!"

Zhang Zhongwei consoled him.

"Brothers, are you really willing to follow me?"

Lu Hao glanced at Zhang Zhongwei.

"Of course I do. Since the Lord came, my brothers' salaries have doubled, and the special channel for purchasing information is also very smooth. There is also a lot of information bought back, which also prevents brothers from working hard to survive."

Zhang Zhongwei explained in detail. "Hahaha……"

Lu Hao was in a much better mood, Lehaha laughed and scolded: "You guys, you really are a mother if you have breasts!"

"Sir, we in the Supervision Department are working so hard just so that our family can live a better life. Who wouldn't want to follow a generous boss?"

Zhang Zhongwei did not hide anything and spoke frankly.

"Hahaha... As long as you follow me, once we complete the match business with Tianyin Pavilion, it will be easy to earn hundreds of millions of taels of silver every year."

Lu Hao laughed happily.

"Is there really such a huge amount of money? Then isn't our Supervision Department more developed?"

Zhang Zhongwei was extremely happy.

"Don't even think about it. If there wasn't such a huge amount of money, why would Situ Tianyin from Tianyin Pavilion be so interested? The most important thing is that our Supervision Department accounts for [-]%."

Lu Hao explained with a smile.

"In the past, our Supervision Department never had any property, and it was always funded by the Ministry of Household Affairs. The brothers lived a very hard life. Now, the brothers have hope!"

Zhang Zhongwei was so excited that he almost shed tears.

"Let brothers rest assured that when our match business makes money, everyone will have a share. I will never treat brothers badly!"

Lu Hao doesn't care about money.

For him, any idea can make him a lot of money.

"Zhang Zhongwei, on behalf of the brothers, thank you, sir!"

Zhang Zhongwei made a puff, knelt on the ground, and sincerely thanked Lu Hao.

"Okay, Master Zhang, let's go back, I won't be a chess piece!"

Lu Hao's confidence was restored.

Zhang Zhongwei followed Lu Hao with a few confidants. After returning, everyone received an additional 100 taels of living allowance, and they were all very happy.

When Mr. Zhang deliberately spread the news about the dividends from the match business, everyone in the Supervision Department completely changed their eyes on Lu Hao.

On the other side, Liu Ruxu issued a bloody order to mobilize the killers within a hundred miles and rush to the imperial capital.

Of course, Liu Ruxu also told her sister Liu Rufeng about this matter.

After learning the news, Liu Rufeng was worried about her sister's safety, so she quickly set off from the Blood Clothes Sect's headquarters, Beihuang Prison, and rushed to the Great Yan Empire.

Lu Hao didn't take Liu Ruxu to heart, but after returning to the mansion, he fully armed himself.

He didn't know how many people Liu Ruxu would send. What if someone else came with hundreds of people?

Lu Hao found a cowhide bag and filled it with hundreds of bullets, as well as several fireball bombs and poisonous smoke bombs.

To be honest, fireball bombs and poison smoke bombs are not as powerful as grenades, but they are absolutely fatal against several killers.

Lu Hao set the meeting place in the suburbs because he was worried that the sound of these weapons would be too loud and cause unnecessary panic.

If these things exploded in the imperial city, wouldn't they scare the crap out of the people in the imperial capital?

……

It was getting late.

Wu Qingyu sent news that he had taken control of the entire imperial capital, and officials of all sizes would be killed if they participated in rebellion.

"Master Lu, investigation has confirmed that only five generals have tiger talismans."

Wu Qingyu handed over a list.

Lu Hao took it over and looked at it, his brows furrowed.

"The five generals, namely the four generals of the Guards and General Shen Jihai of the Military Guard, should be able to mobilize their troops once they obtain the other half of the Emperor's Tiger Talisman and use the Emperor's Sword."

Wu Qingyu reports in detail.

Generally speaking, the tiger talisman has two halves, the left one is held by the general and the right side is held by the emperor.

Once troops and horses are mobilized, the emperor's tiger talisman and the emperor's token must be presented before he can have the right to mobilize troops.
