MTL - The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 380 I was wronged

 It’s the dead of night again.

Somewhere on the outskirts of Beijing, Chen Cheng, dressed in black and wearing a black scarf, directed his men to carefully transport the iron ore in the mine car.

 “Sir, it’s not good!”

 With his men panicking, dozens of forbidden troops rushed in.

Chen Cheng's face, which was hidden under the black scarf, changed drastically, his eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone!"

At the sound of his voice, everyone who was about to make any movement stopped.

Chen Cheng pulled off his black scarf, stepped forward, and said to the leader of the imperial army: "Master Feng, why are you here?"

"Master Chen?" Feng Hu squinted his eyes. The sky was dark. He looked for a long time before he recognized Chen Cheng's appearance. "I would like to know why Master Chen is here?"

“Since Mr. Feng is here too, he knows what’s going on here.”

 Chen Cheng looked at the mine carts and said, "These are the iron ore hidden by King An."

Feng Hu’s expression remained unchanged, but there was a flash of suspicion in his eyes.

“Mr. Chen, please come with us.”

"This is natural. If we find these iron mines, I should return to your Majesty."

 Chen Cheng looked calm and unfazed.

 This made Feng Hu a little more surprised, but also a little more vigilant.

 But until he entered the palace, Chen Cheng did not do anything extra.

It was as if he was really a loyal and patriotic minister, but he just happened to discover the iron ore and didn't have time to report it to the emperor.

 In the imperial study room, the lights were still brightly lit.

 Emperor Jianwen has been dealing with the affairs of King An and the iron mines these days, and now there are a few bruises on his face.

“Your Majesty, Lord Feng is back.”

 “Let him in.”

Emperor Jianwen did not raise his eyes, his eyes still fell on the memorial in front of him.

The memorials sent in these days are doubled than in the past, most of which are complaining about the tyrannical of the king, such as the occupation of farmland, forcibly recruiting, and robbing the women ...

The memorial was thrown on the table by Emperor Jianwen. Eunuch Wan glanced at the words on the memorial and silently looked away.

　　Forced women?

In this capital, when it comes to lecherous people, King An may not even be ranked among them.

Moreover, this Prince An also has a little hobby. He dislikes girls from good families the most, but instead likes girls who come from brothels.



 But at this time, everyone is pushing against the wall. Regardless of whether there is something or not, they all report it to the police, so as to show that they are not so unique at this time.

Eunuch Wan lowered his head and said nothing.

Soon, Feng Hu took Chen Cheng into the palace.

 “I see you, Your Majesty.”

The two of them saluted, and at Emperor Jianwen's signal, they stood up slowly.

 Emperor Jianwen glanced at Chen Cheng, then his eyes fell on Feng Hu, "What did Master Feng discover?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I followed your instructions and found the place where the iron ore is stored. But..." Feng Hu glanced at Chen Cheng from the corner of his eye and continued: "When I arrived, I found that Lord Chen had taken a step ahead of me and had already taken him with me. People are moving the iron ore."

"oh?"

 Emperor Jianwen's eyes then fell on Chen Cheng.

The two of them came in together. Although Emperor Jianwen was a little surprised, he didn't think much about it. Only now did he react after hearing Feng Hu's words.

“Master Chen, what are you doing there so late?”

"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen received a report from his subordinates and found the place where the iron ore was hidden. Because he was afraid of disturbing His Majesty, he thought of reporting it tomorrow. But Wei Chen was worried about being discovered by others during this period, so he took people there and wanted to First transport the iron ore out and send it to the treasury.”

“It is an honor for me to have such a dedicated minister as Mr. Chen in the Great Sheng Dynasty.”

 “Your Majesty shows love, but I dare not.”

When Chen Cheng heard this, he opened his clothes and knelt down.

 His expression was calm and every move was impeccable.

In the palace, Emperor Jianwen narrowed his eyes slightly.

He suddenly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, you have worked hard. Go back and rest early."

 “Yes, I am resigning.”

 Chen Cheng lowered his head, slowly backed away, and left the imperial study room.

 “Your Majesty…”

“I have to trouble Mr. Feng to make a hard trip to transport all the iron ore to the treasury.”

 “I obey the decree.”

Feng Hu did not ask Emperor Jianwen why he let Chen Cheng go so easily. Firstly, the emperor's actions were not something that a minister could question. Secondly, Feng Hu felt that the emperor must have his reasons for doing so.

 In one night, most of the iron ore was transported to the treasury.

In the early dynasty, Emperor Jianwen did not mention the iron ore matter, and turned a deaf ear to the matter of King An.

 When the court came down, Xiao Jin caught a glimpse of Xiao Shengyu's back, his eyes flashed, and he followed him.

 “Third brother, what do you think about the sixth brother’s matter?”

Xiao Jin's tone was very gentle, like an older brother who cares about his younger brother.

Xiao Shengyu paused and turned around to look at Xiao Jin.

 There was only indifference in his eyes.

The smile on Xiao Jin's face almost failed her, so she could only straighten the corners of her mouth and meet Xiao Shengyu's eyes.

 “It’s just about reaping the consequences.”

 After saying this, Xiao Shengyu turned around and left calmly.

 Xiao Jin was left standing there alone, dazed for a long time.

In his mind, Xiao Shengyu's words were repeated over and over again. Xiao Jin frowned, always feeling that there was something in Xiao Shengyu's words.

In the prison, King An shouted at the top of his lungs: "I want to see my father! Father, my son has been wronged!"

 It's just that his words could not reach the ears of Emperor Jianwen.

 Only the jailer on the side can hear it.

Soon, footsteps were heard not far away. King An was still shouting, so he immediately opened the cell door and looked in the direction of the footsteps.

 A familiar figure appeared in front of King An.

 “Fourth brother!”

 Wang An shouted.

Xiao Jin walked forward and saw a somewhat embarrassed King An, with more worry on his face.

“Sixth brother, how are you?”

“Fourth brother, help me tell my father that I was wrongly accused!”

As if seeing a life-saving straw, King An suddenly grabbed the hem of Xiao Jin's clothes and prayed.

He was a dignified prince who had always lived in fine clothes and fine food. How could he endure the treatment in the prison? After staying here for the past few days, he felt like he was going crazy.

 This is even more terrifying than the last time he was assassinated!

Xiao Jin patted Wang An's slightly cleaner cuffs and took a step away without leaving any trace, so as to get rid of Wang An's hand grabbing the hem of his clothes.

“Don’t worry, sixth brother, I will tell my father, but...this matter is really big. Sixth brother, have you really never done this?”

 “Of course I don’t have any!”

Hearing Xiao Jin's words, King An quickly defended himself without paying attention to Xiao Jin's actions.

"I did deliberately hide the mine, but I didn't want to take it for myself! I just wanted to tell my father after mining it. This would also make my father worry less, and also let my father see that I am not All I can do is eat and drink!”

 Wang An said, his voice a little trembling.

　　　It seemed like I wanted to cry.

Xiao Jin turned away his face and said, "I will tell my father. Don't worry, sixth brother. My father is just angry for a moment. He will be fine after the anger subsides in a few days."
