After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband

Su Yang discovered that the Minister of Revenue only traveled south for business, within a radius of no more than three hundred miles.

Not only him, but his confidants often went there too.

Su Yang had to suspect there was something fishy about that place.

Su Yang sent someone to rush to that place, and the Hidden Guard, wearing a pair of shoes from the Minister of Revenue Mansion, fell from his horse on the busy street after entering the city, fainting on the ground.

When the Hidden Guard woke up, he was already in the heart of the nest.

The Hidden Guard said that the Minister of Revenue was under house arrest, which made those people’s expressions change drastically.

The Hidden Guard didn’t say much more, only saying, "It’s still unclear if the Emperor has noticed anything, using the matter of the young master’s affair, asking Daiqi East Town Marquis’s son to eliminate the master."

"The master is in a difficult situation, but we must not panic and maintain our composure, waiting for further instructions from the master."

Those people thought that the Minister of Revenue was right to do so.

If the court hadn’t found out, their rash movements would push Lord Minister to a dead end.

The Hidden Guard reassured them not to worry too much, saying everything was still under the master’s control.

He suffered internal injuries, still clutching his chest, needing to hurry back to the Capital to report safety.

Those people helped him out of the mansion, assisting him onto a horse.

To deceive everyone, the internal injuries were real, genuinely inflicted, severely injured, unable to travel, sending a message to Su Yang via carrier pigeon.

The message reached Su Yang’s hands last night, timed accurately, otherwise he would surely be punished.

King Beimo did not expect that the backer behind the Minister of Revenue was actually the Beimo Cheng King who had died ten years ago.

He further did not expect that the Minister of Revenue was actually the illegitimate son of the Beimo Cheng King.

The Beimo Cheng Queen was inherently jealous, unable to tolerate the slightest rival, and any concubines of the Cheng King with a bit of ambition either died or met tragic ends.

The Minister of Revenue’s birth mother was the close maid of the Cheng Queen, well aware of the Queen’s jealousy, dared not speak after the Cheng King took advantage of her while drunk, and even more so when she became pregnant.

The maid voluntarily asked to marry a servant by the Cheng King’s side, giving birth to a son "prematurely" after nine months.

Only after marriage did the maid dare to confess to the Cheng King, leaving the mansion to nurse her pregnancy.

Regarding the Minister of Revenue, the Beimo Cheng King was quite attentive, allowing him to study alongside the Princely Heir.

As for the rebellion, the Minister of Revenue understood well that if not for the Cheng King’s downfall, he wouldn’t have known his own lineage.

After the Cheng King’s fall, the remaining factions rallied around him as their leader.

In those years, borrowing one hundred thousand troops from Nanliang couldn’t topple King Beimo; now it’s even less feasible.

The Minister of Revenue decided to recuperate and bide his time for the right moment.

With the gold and jewels left by the Beimo Cheng King, he bribed the court ministers, making his official career remarkably smooth.

King Beimo tasked Su Yang with investigating the Minister of Revenue not specifically against him, but because he suspected the Minister’s supporter, Beimo Li King, of harboring ulterior motives.

But Li King is King Beimo’s own brother, frail and sickly from childhood, such that King Beimo was reluctant to suspect him, yet couldn’t help but have doubts.

So coincidentally, the Minister of Revenue’s nephew committed a crime, prompting King Beimo to start the investigation there.

Who could have thought that Li King was simply greedy, with the Minister of Revenue occasionally bringing him gifts, pleasing him into supporting him.

With the investigation reaching this point, there was nothing more to look into.

Su Yang absolutely did not intend to intervene in the internal chaos of Beimo.

After staying in Beimo long enough and seeing the chaos about to erupt, it was wise to leave early.

King Beimo had promised that once the investigation was clear, he would let Su Yang leave with Princess Yinchuan.

King Beimo even hoped Su Yang would help annihilate the remnants of Beimo Cheng King’s faction, but Su Yang was already leaving.

King Beimo was furious yet helpless.

Originally, if Su Yang accomplished his mission, King Beimo would have rewarded him, but in the end, nothing was gifted.

If this were put on the Marquis Dongxiang’s shoulders, not emptying King Beimo’s treasury wouldn’t be like him.

Su Yang, as the son of the Marquis Dongxiang, resembled him nearly ninety percent in temperament.

King Beimo’s treasury wasn’t on Su Yang’s mind; after all, he was the son-in-law, needing to preserve face for Princess Yinchuan.

Not to mention whether he could rob the treasury; even if successful, he couldn’t quietly bring it back to Daqi under Princess Yinchuan’s watchful eyes.

But Su Yang’s nature wasn’t easily repressed.

He cheerfully took Princess Yinchuan to say their goodbyes.

Taking the scenic route back to Daqi.

Roaming around, they encountered the convoy transporting tributes from Beimo.

The outcome was predictable—

Not a speck remained, all plundered.

The news reached the Capital.

King Beimo, "...!!!"

Beimo Crown Prince, "...!!!"

Having been on guard endlessly, they didn’t expect Su Yang to rob the tributes.

The rascal came right to them, and yet they let him go without even a beating.

King Beimo regretted it deeply.

Hmm.

This father-in-law and son-in-law duel ended with Su Yang’s overwhelming victory.

Having plundered, Su Yang was utterly elated.

Princess Yinchuan found out that Su Yang had robbed the tributes three days later.

With the tributes taken for three days, it was unlikely for Su Yang to return them.

Princess Yinchuan was forced to turn a blind eye.

She absolutely believed Su Yang’s detour wasn’t for sightseeing, but aimed at the tributes!

News reached Daqi, and contrary to King Beimo’s anger, the Emperor was overjoyed.

This lad did brilliantly!
