Chu Mo put down the candlestick, filled a cup of tea, drank it, and then sprayed it all on the scroll.

When Wen Qingyuan saw Chu Mo's actions, his face was full of confusion. Yu Zixuan, Wushuang and others on the side nodded as before.

"Picture within a picture, it's a bit interesting."

Wushuang shook his folding fan and said with a smile on his face.

After hearing this, Wen Qingyuan suddenly came to his senses.

I saw Chu Mo carefully grabbing a corner of the scroll and gently pulling it on the web. Finally, under the gaze of several people, the complete landscape painting was actually split into two, and the scroll hidden under the landscape painting, Strictly speaking, it is not a circle, because what catches everyone's sight are rows of densely packed small characters.

"The emperor has paid off. I didn't expect that Shen Shenmiao would think of hiding the name list in the painting in this way."

Wushuang said with a smile.

"Yes, the roster. I thought the roster would be a book before, but I didn't expect that the roster would appear in front of us in this way. It seems that Shen Shen Miao has been in the princeling party since she joined the princeling party. Leave yourself a way out."

Chu Mo spoke calmly, and then checked some of the things recorded on the so-called roster.

In the 30th year of Wuli's reign, the various states and counties paid more than 7.56 million taels of silver to the national treasury as taxes. In fact, they paid 5.2 million taels to the national treasury, of which more than 230 taels went into the hands of the prince.

In the thirty-second year of Wuli, the states and counties were required to pay 9.7 million taels of tax money to the treasury, but they actually paid 6 million taels, of which 3 million taels were given to the prince and 700,000 taels were withheld privately.

In the thirty-second year of Wu Li, at the request of the prince, the tax money collected was nine million taels, five million taels were returned to the national treasury, and four million taels were donated to the Marquis of Zhenguo, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the generals of the General's Office. .

Thirty-four years of martial arts...

Looking at all the records on it, even Chu Mo couldn't help but feel shocked. In just a few years, Shen Shenmiao helped Li Qian get no less than ten million taels of silver from taxes!

Moreover, in addition to Prince Li Qian, there were even many ministers in the court. If this list was really passed into the hands of Li Deyi, the entire Dawu Dynasty would definitely be shaken.

At this moment, not only Chu Mo felt a little troubled, but the rest of the people also felt the seriousness of the matter.

"Chu Mo, this matter is of great importance. Except for the crown prince, the others mentioned above also hold great power in the Dawu Dynasty. If His Majesty knows about this matter, the consequences will be disastrous..."

"And... and..."

Wen Qingyuan looked solemn and stopped talking.

"Madam, what you want to say is that even the three great princes of the Dawu Dynasty are all on the list, right?"

Wen Qingyuan nodded after hearing this.

The three princes of the Dawu Dynasty were all those who made great contributions to the southern expedition with the late emperor. Although these three people no longer hold official positions in the court, their prestige in the court is still This is extremely high. Even if Li Deyi meets three people, he must treat them politely.

Not only that, although the three princes do not serve in the court, their descendants are all generals who hold great power.

Chu Mo never thought that the prince Li Qian would have the support of so many big figures. No wonder Li Tianqi tried every means to bring down Li Qian, but to no avail.

"Now the roster has been found, but this roster is simply a hot potato. Your Majesty, what are your plans next?"

Wu Shuang asked with a frown.

"Chu Mo, you must think clearly. If this list is handed over to His Majesty, it will not only offend the prince, but nearly half of the court. Although the things recorded in this list are enough to make Li Qian die several times. , but after all, he is the crown prince appointed by His Majesty and the future successor of the Dawu Dynasty. Even if you hand over the list to His Majesty, Li Qian will not necessarily be severely punished."

"If His Majesty removes Li Qian because of this, that's okay. But if Your Majesty still turns a blind eye and only gives Li Qian minor punishments, Li Qian will definitely regard you as a thorn in his side. When you come to Kyoto, even if you have the support of our Taishi Mansion, it is absolutely impossible to make an enemy of Li Qian..."

Wen Qingyuan knew the seriousness of the matter, and at this moment, she felt uneasy in her heart.

It's not that Wen Qingyuan didn't know that Li Tianqi had met Chu Mo. At the same time, she also knew why Li Tianqi met Chu Mo. Once Chu Mo handed over the roster, Li Tianqi would definitely use this matter to deal with Li Qian, and that Sometimes, others may misunderstand that Chu Mo is Li Tianqi's person.

The fight between princes is inherently cruel, and the reason why the Grand Master's Office does not want to participate in it is because it is afraid of getting angry.

Listening to Wen Qingyuan's words, Chu Mo lowered his head and began to ponder. After arriving at Shaoqing, Chu Mo slowly raised his head, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, and said in a solemn tone: "The roster must be handed over!"

After hearing Chu Mo's words, Wen Qingyuan and Wen Zijin wanted to persuade him, but Chu Mo said quietly at this time: "Of course, we have to hand over the name, but I don't intend to hand over the name list to His Majesty... And Give it to Li Tianqi!"

Hearing this, the two Wen Qingyuan siblings were stunned.

It may seem like a good idea to hand it over to Li Tianqi instead of His Majesty, but who can guarantee that Li Tianqi will not reveal that Chu Mo turned it in after receiving the list.

But looking at Chu Mo's serious look, Wen Qingyuan chose not to speak when the words came to her lips.

Seeing Wen Qingyuan's worried expression, Chu Mo smiled and comforted: "Madam, don't worry. No matter how this matter will develop, I, Chu Mo, swear to you that I will protect you and the Taishi Mansion no matter what." Safety!"

After saying that, Chu Mo looked at Wushuang and the two, and continued: "It's getting late, everyone, have a good rest tonight. We will leave the black market early tomorrow morning and go back to resume our lives!"

The two Wushuang nodded, stood up, turned around and left the room.

Wen Zijin walked to the door, looked back at Chu Mo, then sighed helplessly and left.

…

The night is already deep.

Wen Qingyuan leaned on Chu Mo's chest and fell asleep soundly, but at this moment, Chu Mo's eyes were wide and there was no trace of sleepiness.

At this moment, Chu Mo felt a little suspicious. Since Li Tianqi and Li Qian had already arrived at the black market, why were they not seen at the auction venue?

Thinking of the man who was bidding with him again, Chu Mo narrowed his eyes. If Chu Mo couldn't tell what he expected, this man was either Li Qian's or Li Tianqi's.

But it's useless to think about it now. Now that the roster is in his hands, all he wants to think about now is how to ensure that he can return to Kyoto smoothly with the roster and hand it over to Li Tianqi.

Chu Mo knew that things seemed calm on the surface, but once they left the black market, there would probably be a bloody storm.

And just when Chu Mo was lost in thought, a sudden change occurred!
