Chapter 9 — He Wants To Use Me To Hide A Secret

On the surface, every day I take medicine, nourish my body, under the care of my mother and the maids, living the life of a famous lady, I don't go out through big doors, I don't step through small doors. But in the darkness, the wind direction of the entire capital is quietly rotating according to the script I wrote. Father acted very quickly. After receiving my letter, at the court session the next day, he coordinated with more than ten Royal historians of Do Sat Court to present the song together. In the chapter, the Ta family is not mentioned even a single word. Let's just say that the Northern Region is at war all year round, and the military supply records are extremely complicated. I'm afraid there will be errors. To prevent this from an early stage, I request His Majesty to send an envoy to the Northern Region, to hand over to the new general, and to thoroughly inspect and inventory the military supply and food records of the past three years. Justifiable reason. The timing was just right. Ta Hanh has just been demoted, a new general has not yet been appointed, just when the military's mind is wavering and power is in the transition phase. At this time, send someone to inspect the books. Righteous reputation and favorable language. No one can criticize. His Majesty pondered for a long time right at court. Furthermore, he did not send anyone else. And directly appointed Prime Minister Tham, who is also my father, as the chief envoy of this inspection. Let the "biggest enemy" investigate the most fatal book. The mind magic of the king. Indeed, the depth is unpredictable. That news just spread. The court and the people were both shocked. Everyone knows. Your Majesty is preparing to take action against the Ta family. The mountain rain is coming, the wind is already filling the house. The main gate of General Tran Bac's palace is closed more tightly than ever. It is said that Ta Hanh smashed nearly half of the room full of porcelain in the palace. Also at Phuong Nghi palace. Queen Khuong Chieu also fell ill. For several days in a row, he called in sick and did not receive anyone. They were afraid. They know. Just need the books to be investigated. Everything will end. Surely they will think of every way to prevent father from leaving for the North. Or make father... Never be able to return. I lay on the hospital bed, listening to Xuan Dao recount the news brought from outside. My heart is as calm as water. I understand Ta Hanh. The more I understand Khuong Chieu. They were like wild animals cornered. Will definitely struggle the most crazily. This trip is for my father. Extremely dangerous. But we cannot stop it. This is the only chance to overthrow the Ta family. The only thing we can do. It is to prepare another path for my father. I called Xuan Dao in.

"Go help me make an appointment with someone."

"Boss Lieu of Vong You Tra Lau in Nam City."

Xuan Dao was a bit surprised. Vong Uu Tra Lau is just an unremarkable tea house in the capital. The owner's family name is Lieu. She is a widow in her thirties. Be a very secretive person. Rarely interacts with others. No one knows. That boss Lieu. Actually, he was the head of the intelligence network that the Tham family secretly trained. Her subordinates are spread throughout the three sects and nine streams in the capital. Specialized in collecting all kinds of information that cannot be exposed to light for his father. This story. In the entire Government. Besides father. Only we know. This is also one of our biggest trump cards when resurrected. Xuan Dao does not know the inside story. But still faithfully carry out my orders. Three days later. A woman wearing a light-colored dress, with an ordinary appearance, in the name of "massaging" my mother, walked into the room. That person is boss Lieu. She let everyone go out. Then respectfully bow to me.

"Eldest lady."

"Aunt Liu doesn't need to be so polite."

I signaled her to sit down.

"Today I invited Liu to come."

"I want to ask Aunt Liu to help me investigate a few things."

I gave the list I copied from memory to her.

"The people on this list."

"Please investigate each person for me."

"I want to know all about them."

"Their family background."

"Their hobby."

"Their enemy."

"Who have they met recently?"

"What was said?"

"I want your men to stay close to them for twenty-four hours."

"Just protecting them."

"Just monitoring them."

Boss Lieu received the list. Just one glance. His expression became extremely serious.
