Chapter 87 Wu Zetian is very angry!
Not long after Wu Zetian left, Wu Chengsi came down from the top of the city in a sneaky way and disappeared in the street in a low-key manner. He thought he had done everything perfectly, but he didn't know that a shout had completely exposed him.

However, Yang Yanzhang did not return to his house, but went to Qu Zhenyun's house in a low-key manner.

Wu Chengsi did not go to the east city just now, but went to the south. This action was very strange.

The people living in the northeast of Luoyang were all dignitaries and relatives of the emperor, including Wu Chengsi.

In the southeast, civilians and ordinary officials lived.

And Yang Yanzhang quickly thought that Wu Chengsi probably knew that Qu Zhenyun was secretly selling artillery shells to the Tibetans. Now that he saw this batch of money entering the city, he would [-]% want to plunder it!

"Basically none of the old witch's relatives are good people. This Wu Chengsi, if you want to beat him, beat him to death, lest he bite me again in the future!"

While thinking about it, Yang Yanzhang followed the very conspicuous tracks to the outside of Qu Zhenyun's house.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Yang Yanzhang hid in the shadow with the moonlight behind him, squatting and waiting.

As expected, not long after, Wu Chengsi came here alone with a sly look on his face.

Because he was so close, Yang Yanzhang could hear his voice!
"Let Qu Zhenyun come out to greet me!"

An old man who looked like Qu Zhenyun's father at the door recognized the person in front of him as the prime minister of the dynasty and hurriedly walked in with his waist hunched over. After a while, Qu Zhenyun hurried out.

"Master Wu, I wonder why you are here?"

Wu Chengsi snorted coldly: "Do you know who helped you get through today?"

Qu Zhenyun suddenly became excited and stared at Wu Chengsi in disbelief: "Could it be that the person shouting at the top of the city is actually you?"

"Hmph! Who can help you send so much money into the city except the real person?"

"But, you are a relative of the Queen Mother, and you are the Prime Minister! How could you..."

Wu Chengsi immediately scolded: "This is not something you should worry about! I'm here to ask you something, what are you going to do with the gold?"

"Gold? Of course it will be turned over to the treasury!"

Puchi!

Wu Chengsi couldn't help but laugh immediately: "How could you be willing to hand over the dirty money you earned from selling artillery shells to the state treasury?"

Qu Zhenyun also realized at this time: Wu Chengsi was really colluding with Tibet, and he did not know the true situation of the matter!
So Qu Zhenyun pretended to be flattering: "How about I give it to you?"

Wu Chengsi immediately smiled with satisfaction: "Qu Zhenyun, you are a sensible person! Since you are willing to give me this batch of gold, I also promise you that I will put in a few good words for you when I go to court tomorrow and let the Queen Mother promote you. Promote you!”

"Then I'm so grateful to Prime Minister Wu!" Qu Zhenyun felt mixed joy and sorrow. He was happy that he had caught a scum of the imperial court, but worried that Wu Chengsi was Wu Zetian's relative after all. If Wu Zetian was angry with him, he would be afraid of it in the future. It doesn't end well.

"General Qu, when do you plan to send the money to my house?"

Qu Zhenjun returned to his train of thought, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he smiled flatteringly: "There was enough movement today, so I decided to wait a few days before sending it to the prime minister's house, so as not to attract the attention of others with so many carriages coming in and out frequently."

"That makes sense!" Wu Chengsi nodded with satisfaction, "In this way, since you are so sensible, I will not treat you badly! With so much gold, I will leave you a car! Do good things in the future, and the benefits will be yours."

In order to avoid being noticed, Wu Chengsi briefly settled the matter, lowered his official hat and hurried away under the cover of night.

After he left, Qu Zhenyun immediately went to the government office, obviously intending to enter the palace at night, meet Wu Zetian, and tell all this.But Yang Yanzhang walked out of the darkness and stopped him: "Don't enter the palace anymore. Wu Chengsi's hands and eyes are all over the sky. For that piece of gold, I'm afraid someone has arranged for you to be watched secretly! You are a small official. At this time Entering the palace will definitely arouse his suspicion! I also heard clearly what happened just now, so it is up to me to enter the palace and report it to the Queen Mother."

Qu Zhenyun suddenly shuddered, and then realized that not only was she being eavesdropped by Yang Yanzhang, but she might also be targeted by Wu Chengsi's people!

With Wu Chengsi's methods, once he became suspicious, he was afraid that he would be poisoned without anyone noticing.

"Then it's time for you, Mr. Yushi!"

……

After Wu Zetian returned to the palace, she felt impatient. When she thought that her nephew had secretly communicated with the enemy, she became extremely angry!

"I promoted him to Nayan and made him one of the prime ministers, but he didn't care about the kindness and actually did such a thing to discredit me! Fortunately, only I and Yang Yanzhang saw it today. If he is seen by the minister in the future, If it is exposed, how will I lose my face?"

But what worries her even more is that Tubo can bribe even Wu Chengsi, so aren't the officials below already rotten?

If this is the case, once the Tibetan troops attack, wouldn't there be a risk of being driven straight in?

Thinking about it, Wu Zetian shuddered!

"Unexpectedly, Yang Yanzhang sold artillery shells to make money for me, but he was involved in such a big case! If it weren't for him, my hard-earned situation would have been destroyed by these scum in the near future!"

Thinking of Yang Yanzhang, Wu Zetian felt relieved again. She felt that with Yang Yanzhang's presence, she had something to rely on.

"Queen Mother! Yang Yushi is outside asking for an audience."

Just as he was thinking about it, a palace maid came in to report.

"What is he here for? To watch my jokes and laugh at my coming?"

Wu Zetian hesitated for a moment, then asked the palace maid to announce Yang Yanzhang in.

"Yang Yanzhang! If you dare to laugh at me today, I will knock out your front teeth one by one!"

Before Yang Yanzhang could speak, Wu Zetian threatened with a fierce expression.

Yang Yanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh: "The Queen Mother is serious. This official is not here to laugh at the Queen Mother. He has something important to report."

"Is it important? You said it was important, but it seems like it's a big deal! Say so!"

Yang Yanzhang told the news he heard from Qu Zhenyun verbatim.

Wu Zetian trembled slightly when she heard this, her face was livid, and she was extremely angry!
"What a Wu Chengsi! What a lackey of Tubo! I treat him like a son and treat him with all my heart, and he actually repays me like this! Not only did he help the Tubo people to smooth relations, but he also knew that Qu Zhenyun had sold the cannonballs. Not only was he not protected, But he wants to keep the stolen money as his own!"

"Yang Yanzhang! I really want to kill this person right now!"

Yang Yanzhang hurriedly stopped: "The Queen Mother must not be impulsive! If Wu Chengsi is touched at this time, wouldn't it mean that Zan Po and the officials he bribed will be on guard? This is a rare opportunity to eliminate thieves. The Queen Mother cannot be quick, and Keep burying these hidden dangers!"
