My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 229 Amitabha, Good, Good

After hearing this, Wan Sutong held the water in both hands and looked at 0533 with a wicked smile on her face. "Do you really want to know?"

0533 looked at Wan Sutong with a puzzled look, and then saw Zhao Hongyu with water droplets still hanging on his eyelashes.

0533 It suddenly realized what was going on. It shook its head and shouted, "I don't want to know!" It seemed that it was afraid that Wan Sutong would splash water on its face.

Wan Sutong chuckled and started to wash and dress. After she was dressed, Wan Sutong sat in front of the dressing table, waiting for Zhao Hongyu to do her makeup.

Zhao Hongyu walked slowly behind Wan Sutong, picked up the wooden comb from the dressing table, and gently used it to comb Wan Sutong's hair. He raised his head and looked at Wan Sutong in the mirror.

Today, Wan Sutong was wearing a pear-yellow double-breasted skirt and a large-sleeved shirt of the same color, so Zhao Hongyu combed her hair into a double spiral bun and selected two short hairpins made of gold as embellishments. The pear blossoms and butterflies on them were lifelike, making Wan Sutong playful and cute without losing her nobleness.

After putting the wooden comb back on the dressing table, Zhao Hongyu took out a wooden box and handed it to Wan Sutong.

Wan Sutong opened the wooden box with a puzzled look on her face, only to see a pair of dark red jadeite bracelets inside. She took one out and placed it in the sun. It was very transparent and very expensive. Wan Sutong immediately looked at Zhao Hongyu with sparkling eyes, "Wow, where did you get this? You didn't steal it from the national treasury, did you?"

Zhao Hongyu shook his head and sneered, "How could it be? This pair of jade bracelets was a tribute from the State of Chu. It's been a long time since I remembered it, and there are more things in the spiritual sea. I can't remember where I put it. I just found it yesterday."

After hearing this, Wan Sutong was very excited and kissed Zhao Hongyu on the cheek, "Husband, you are so nice."

At the same time, Zhao Jinghua sat on the throne to the lower left of the dragon chair in the Taichu Hall, listening to the endless discussions of the ministers in the hall. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little tired.

Zhao Jinghua's voice was not loud, but it was filled with a chilling coldness that made the ministers who were discussing the matter kneel down in unison.

Wan Yanzhong and the Zhao Jingjia brothers were stunned, not knowing whether they should kneel or stand.

Zhao Jinghua sighed impatiently, he slowly stood up and glanced at the people in the hall with cold eyes, "I understand what you all mean, it's just that if someone leaks the news, six months is not a long time, but it is enough for Yuwen Kingdom to recuperate, and then it will be very difficult to attack Yuwen Kingdom. However, Mingbeiying is now in ruins, if we want to attack Yuwen Kingdom, it will be early next year at the earliest."

At this time, a second-rank general walked out of the crowd and slowly said, "If you hadn't escaped by dying, how could the Mingbei Camp be like this?"

As soon as these words came out, a fourth-rank civil servant who had been standing in Zhao Jingtai's camp also began to rebuke him, saying, "You have disturbed the morale of the army for your own selfish desires, and you deserve to die of illness. How can you be a regent of a country with such a heart! Taking someone else's body is simply despicable and shameless." He accused Zhao Jinghua at the top of his voice, as if accusing Zhao Jinghua a few words could redress the injustice for Zhao Jingtai.

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military ministers were instantly furious. They were about to open their mouths to reprimand the two of them for being indiscriminate, but were interrupted by a very cold laugh. After hearing Zhao Jinghua's laughter, the ministers dared not speak anymore. They only felt their scalps numb and their hands and feet weak.

When Zhao Jinghua spoke, his voice was smiling but murderous. "What does it have to do with me? Mingbei Camp is not inseparable from a certain person. It's just because you are incompetent. I am willing to come back to clean up this mess, but I don't want to see the people of my Great Zhao Kingdom suffer." At this point, Zhao Jinghua cast his cold eyes on the second-rank general. "Since you have the courage to confront me here, why didn't you take over Mingbei Camp? Since you can't bear the burden of Mingbei Camp, you push it to me? It's ridiculous!" As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous atmosphere gradually rose in the hall, and some timid ministers even fell to the ground.

At this time, Eunuch Chen had been silently observing Zhao Jinghua's emotions. Seeing the murderous intent in Zhao Jinghua's eyes, Eunuch Chen could only shake his head helplessly. Then he looked at the two of them with pity in his eyes and silently said, "Amitabha, good, good."

Zhao Jinghua then transformed a silver sword expressionlessly, and then walked down the steps, attracting the attention of all the officials. They were even more amazed at how Zhao Jinghua had changed so much.

The fourth-rank civil servant who had just rebuked Zhao Jinghua was already scared to death. He was about to turn around and run away, but he found himself nailed to the spot and could not move. He could only watch Zhao Jinghua getting closer and closer to him.

Zhao Jinghua placed his long sword on the neck of the man in the fourth-rank official uniform, and then asked with no emotion in his tone, "Looking at your appearance, if I'm not mistaken, your grandfather should be the Imperial Censor Liu Zhongshan?"

The man nodded repeatedly after hearing this, thinking that Zhao Jinghua would let him go. However, what Zhao Jinghua said in his ear made him feel as if he was falling into an ice cave. "In this case, I will let you die knowingly. When you meet your grandfather in the underworld, if he asks how you died, you can tell him that you were beheaded by Zhao Hongyu because of your rude words."

Zhao Jinghua chopped off the man's head with a knife. Everyone was still worried that their heads would fall to the ground the next moment, but unexpectedly, the head of the second-rank general fell to the ground without any sign. The bodies of the two men did not splatter blood on the spot, but became thin and pale as if they had been drained of blood.

Everyone thought Zhao Jinghua would stop there, but they saw that Zhao Jinghua did not take back the knife in his hand but turned around and walked back.

Seeing this, Wan Yanzhong wanted to cry but had no tears. He could only raise his hands to cover his neck, praying in his heart that Zhao Jinghua would remember that he was his father-in-law and would not kill him. Besides, he did not say a word, so he had no reason to kill him.

When Zhao Jinghua passed by him, he just glanced at him sideways. "You worry too much." Then he walked up the steps and handed the long knife to Eunuch Chen.

Eunuch Chen took the long sword skillfully and then transformed it into a sachet and handed it to Zhao Jinghua. After Zhao Jinghua took the sachet and sat on the throne, Eunuch Chen hurried to the incense burner and lit the calming incense that had been placed in the incense burner in advance.

He chuckled, then shook his head helplessly and muttered silently, "I knew my father would still have this violent temper. Fortunately, I was prepared. If I didn't have this calming spice, everyone in the palace who he disliked would be in trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Chen felt a sudden chill on his back and then a layer of cold sweat broke out. He smiled awkwardly and returned to Zhao Jinghua obediently, thinking to himself, "Father, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said bad things about you when you were angry. I thought you couldn't hear me because I was far away."

Zhao Jinghua turned his head to look at Eunuch Chen and then sneered.

At this time, the civil and military officials in the hall were stunned by the harmonious way the two got along. Soon, someone in the hall began to discuss in a low voice, as if what happened just now had never happened. Even the corpse on the ground was ignored. "Why do I see flattery on Eunuch Chen's face?"

"I think so too. His expression is just like when my son makes a mistake and sees me." The man yawned and said in surprise, "Why am I so tired?" As soon as these words came out, the whole Taichu Hall was panting. Some people were so sleepy that they kept nodding their heads.

Seeing this, Eunuch Chen coughed lightly and said calmly, "Today's incident is a warning. If you have something to report, please report it. If you don't, please leave the court."
