I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 527 Killing the Lord
Everyone looked at the fierce battle on the sea, and every sound of the cannon seemed to hit everyone's minds.

Three-to-one, even when the fleet is not fully equipped.

In the end who will win in the end, no one can assert.

They are far away on the shore, no matter how powerful they are, they can't help in the battle at sea.

At this moment, they could only pray silently, praying that God could help Daming again, and help those warriors who fought for everyone.

Naval battles are extremely time-consuming battles, and it is estimated that it is impossible to decide the winner within three to five hours.

Everyone seemed to be unable to do anything except wait.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, and when Da Ming's fleet was able to defeat the opponent's warship with overwhelming force, a major event with far-reaching impact also happened in the capital.

……

Time went back to the second day after the auction ended.

After Chen Liu received a reward of more than a thousand taels from the third lady, he completely took refuge in the third lady.

Under the instruction of the third wife, he sneaked into Chai's mansion to inquire about the condition of the third young master Chai Jun.

Originally thought it should be a very difficult thing, but unexpectedly, by chance and coincidence, it really gave him a lot of useful information.

It turned out that the third young master had already passed out half a month ago.

Every day, I rely on the precious century-old ginseng to hang my life.

Although it was the old lady's order to block the matter of the third young master's illness from the outside world, it was the second and third householders who could implement it.

It stands to reason that it has not been a day or two since the people from the second room and the third room have wanted to seize the position of the Patriarch of the Chai family. Shouldn't they have hoped that the third young master would die soon.

Why spend huge sums of money to renew his life with precious century-old ginseng?

In fact, there are two reasons.

First of all, the second bedroom and the third bedroom have not discussed at this time, once the third young master dies, who should take over as the head of the Chai family.

The second is that the Chen Ji Smelting Workshop that the third wife bought earlier has now become the most profitable property of the Chai family.

As long as they haven't got Chen Ji, they don't dare to let the third young master die.

Chen Ji was bought by the third wife with a loan of tens of thousands from the Royal Bank in her own name.

Later, in order to expand the steel forging workshop, the third wife borrowed more than 2 taels from the Royal Bank.

All in all, it cost nearly 5 taels in total.

And if the Chai family wants to take Chen Ji from the hands of the third wife, they must repay the loan of 5 taels of silver.

But people with two bedrooms and three bedrooms are unwilling to pay such a large sum of money, so the matter has been dragged on until now.

As far as the Chai family is concerned, after two years of hard work by the third wife, they have actually accumulated a lot of wealth for the Chai family, let alone tens of thousands of taels, even 10,000+ taels, they can still get it out.

But the weird thing is the old lady's distribution of the wealth of the Chai family.

The third lady and the others are the main house, and the third young master is also the head of the house. They should have taken the profit as the leader, but the old lady knows that the third young master is short of time, and she is afraid that the third lady has too much money, and it will be too big to lose her when the time comes. .

So he eccentrically distributed most of the money he earned to the second-bedroom and third-bedroom people.

This also led to the old lady who was in charge of the main house's money on her behalf, even though she wanted to take Chen Ji back, she still didn't have enough money.

And no matter how she presented the facts and reasoned with the second and third housekeepers, the two of them just refused to pay the money.

In private, the old lady also saved a lot of sulk because of this incident.

It's just that these things are all the result of the Chai family's private discussions, and the third lady, who is almost isolated, doesn't know anything about it.

After Chen Liu inquired about the situation, he quickly reported the matter to the third lady.

The third wife was still immersed in the joy of just getting a huge sum of money, but when she suddenly heard the news that the Chai family was still planning on her at this time, she was almost not angry and vomited blood on the spot.

She and the third young master met in the entertainment, although the third young master treated her with great care and love.

But the third lady doesn't actually have much affection for the third young master.

In fact, it can't be blamed on the third lady's ruthlessness.

It is said that there is no true love in a happy place. Judging from the strong personality of the third wife, she is unlikely to like the sick young master third no matter what.

But she ended up doing it anyway.

In fact, the main reason is that she wants to escape the days of being a joke, and by the way, use the power of the Chai family to help herself get revenge.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that the Chai family couldn't afford to offend the person behind it at all, and they didn't want to help her get revenge.

No matter how much she has contributed to the Chai family, the Chai family still regards her as a lowly singer.

She is very grateful to the third young master for taking her out of the sea of ​​suffering, but this does not mean that she is truly in love with the third young master.

On the contrary, she felt that in the past few years, she had rescued the Chai family from the trough and became a well-known big family in the capital, which was enough to make up for the kindness of the third young master.

In addition, the third young master's condition began to worsen after they got married, and she began to take over the Chai family's business. The two got together less and separated more, and their relationship gradually became weaker.

At this time, after hearing the news that Chen Liu had brought back, her only feeling of gratitude for the Chai family was gone.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Chen Liu couldn't help asking,
"Madam, what should we do next? Judging from the news from the villain, the third young master may not be able to hold on for a few days. If the third young master really can't hold on one day, the Chai family will force Madam to submit to you. Maybe there will be some tricks."

The third lady pondered for a long time, with a determined look on her face, and finally sighed slightly,
"Since they are unrighteous, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Chen Liu, I have two things for you to do now. You go to the Royal Bank first, and talk to Hu Rang, the third treasurer, and ask him to send someone to Chai's house to collect the debt... I want to see, Chai's house." How will you deal with it?"

Chen Liu nodded,

"It's not difficult, so what's the second thing!"

Speaking of the second matter, the third lady's expression became extremely tangled.

She was silent for a while before she said quietly,
"After finishing the first thing, I want you to sneak into Chai's house again, find a way to sneak into the third young master's room, and see if the third young master's time is really numbered!"

She paused at this point, as if she was struggling violently in her heart, and finally she seemed to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth,
"If the third young master is really powerless, then you can help him through the last journey!"

Hearing this sentence, Chen Liu's expression turned pale with fright.

He fell to his knees with a plop, trembling all over and said,

"Ma'am, although the villain is unworthy, he can't do such a stupid thing of killing the master!"
