This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 194 The Desperate Situation of the Legendary Tumbler

Shocked and angry, Xiao Chengye stretched out his arms, and the simple broadsword hanging on the wall inside flew into his hand.

"He Fangxiao is young, dare to go wild in my Xiao's mansion?!"

In Xiao Chengye's mind, he would soon become a local important official in Daxia, and it was unlikely that the Daxia court would trouble him.

Therefore, he only thought it was those fools who wanted to restore the country.

After all, although such people are rare, they are not without. Two days ago, an old minister of David who joined the Yamen was assassinated by the so-called "recovering righteous man".

However, Xiao Chengye's expression changed instantly when a soldier in blue armor was holding a spear or a crossbow and blocked the door and windows from the outside.

Because of this attire, he was clearly a soldier of the Great Xia City Guards!

Just when Xiao Chengye was in doubt, more than [-] strong men wearing red-striped soap robes, soft armor and sharp knives rushed in and surrounded all the people in the hall.

"Bad people?! This..."

Xiao Chengye was even more confused when he was terrified.

Because he couldn't figure out what was going on, even if the incident of his bribery happened, it wouldn't be enough for bad people to come to his door, right?

"Xiao Chengye, let's capture him without a fight."

Accompanied by an indifferent voice, two figures walked in one after another.

Xiao Chengye didn't know Shan Cheng, so he could only look at Bing Cao and Zou Li with a confused and absurd expression.

"Zou Zong, what the hell is going on? What did I, Xiao, do to make you so violent?"

"There is definitely a misunderstanding here, you must have made a mistake!"

Zou Li shook his head, and said indifferently: "Xiao Chengye, you don't need to quibble anymore, it's useless to quibble."

"But having said that, your Xiao family is really courageous enough!"

Xiao Chengye was even more baffled, staring and almost laughed angrily.

"Zou Zongeng, what do you mean? I can't understand what you're talking about at all!"

"Zou Zong, I won't hide it from you. The imperial court has decided to let Xiao take up the post of offering sacrifices to the Weizhou government office. In the future, everyone will be colleagues, so there's no need to make it so embarrassing, right?"

"Of course, if I, Xiao Chengye, have done anything wrong, please tell me, and I will definitely apologize! If you think that Xiao is not qualified, Xiao can also ask a noble person from the court to be a guarantee! How about it?" ?”

Seeing Xiao Chengye, who had a good sense of speech, Zou Li shook his head and chuckled.

Those who can fulfill the order of the Shaofu are indeed not ordinary people, but it's a pity...

"Xiao Chengye, when you are about to die, you are still thinking about being promoted? Hah!"

"Okay, then I'll remind you."

"First, there are quite a few people in your Xiao family colluding with David's remnants, intending to overthrow my Great Xia's rule in Weizhou! Their hearts are to be punished!"

"Among them, there is your concubine Xiao Meng, who has been captured and confessed everything!"

"Do you think that your backer can keep you, the Xiao family?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Chengye and Xiao Chengye's wives, concubines, and children all paled in shock.

"impossible!"

Xiao Chengye denied it flatly, blushing with anger.

"I, Xiao Chengye, am not stupid. How could I do such a stupid thing to die for nothing?!"

"You're not stupid, but that doesn't mean your son and others aren't either!"

Zou Li sneered, then suddenly his eyes sharpened.

"Secondly, do you know your good daughter Xiao Shulan, what did she do?"

"She actually intends to assassinate His Majesty!"

Zou Li's last words were shouted out angrily, and his voice was deafening.

But even if these words were spoken in a soft voice, it was enough to turn into a blow and a bolt from the blue!
Assassinate the emperor?

How fucking crazy is this? !

In an instant, no matter whether it was Xiao Chengye or the others, they were all stunned, only feeling that their souls had floated out of the sky!
They seem to understand that the former charge is likely to be imposed, but the latter should be real.

No wonder they will face a catastrophe, no wonder even bad people get involved, they were harmed by Xiao Shulan!
"So, you still count on your backer to save you from the sea of ​​suffering?"

"Legendary tumbler? Heh, you're just an idiot who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and is greedy enough!"

Zou Li scolded vigorously, but Shan Cheng lost his patience.

"Except for Xiao Chengye, all of them were killed."

Following Shan Cheng's indifferent order, a group of unscrupulous people immediately drew their swords and stepped forward.

Facing the bad guys who waved their knives indifferently, Xiao Chengye's wives, concubines, and children were so frightened that they wept bitterly and begged for mercy.

"My lord! My lord! Please let me go, I don't know anything, I don't know anything!"

"Master Jun, please do me a favor and let us go, what she Xiao Shulan did should not be blamed on us!"

"Xiao Shulan, who is hacked to pieces! You are so ruthless, so ruthless! You even want to hurt your own family! I curse you, you will not live in peace even if you die!"

"Wow, daddy, help me, I don't look like I'm going to die! Wow..."

However, no matter how much they begged, the bad guys were always indifferent and merciless, harvesting lives one after another.

Xiao Chengye was about to burst into tears, and wanted to fight his way out, but he didn't even have time to call out the Dharma Body, so he was severely injured by Shan Cheng's two moves, and was captured with only one hand.

That night, the entire Xiao family's blood flowed into rivers, no matter which city they were in, no matter what their status was, they were all bloodbathed!
Many of them didn't even know why they died when they were about to die.

……

The imperial capital of Great Xia, Lai Mansion.

On the path by the lake, Lai Yongqing walked with his hands behind his back, and the servants he met along the way avoided one side, saluted respectfully and cordially.

"Auspicious Master~"

"Auspicious Master~"

It wasn't until Lai Yongqing walked away that the servants dared to raise their heads.

As they looked at each other, everyone's eyes were filled with envy.

"The nobility on the master's body is getting stronger and stronger."

"That's right, our master is now one of the hottest figures in the entire Great Xia. Don't you see that dignitaries from other countries are constantly coming to please the master?"

"That's right, my Great Xia is now dominating the land of the Six Kingdoms. Although the master is only the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, if it is placed in other countries, he will be the prime minister!"

"I heard that there was a minister from a certain country who came to please the master~"

"Shangshu? Hey, the country is dead. What kind of books are there? Putting it in front of the master is not even worthy of carrying shoes!"

"You don't know, yesterday there was a man of great power who humbly gave me a brocade box, just wanting to know what the master likes, heh..."

The servants in the mansion chatted in low voices, their faces full of excitement and pride.

On the other side, Lai Yongqing, who came to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake to listen to music and drink wine, was equally at ease.

Because since Dajin was annexed by Daxia, his life has become more and more moist.

Especially after Daxia dispatched troops, he received soft hands every day when he received gifts.

"Old Qiu, have you prepared the things to be shipped to China?"

After taking a sip of strong wine, Lai Yongqing looked at the head of the mansion and asked.

Everyone in the world knows that he is a big corrupt man in the Xia Dynasty, and also knows that he is very favored by His Majesty, even if many people sue him, all of them will be lost in the end.

It is also because of this that he has gained the title of a legendary tumbler, which is envied and hated by countless people.

But what they didn't know was that the reason why he was able to live in peace until today, and why he was always favored by His Majesty, was not only due to his ability to speak and please His Majesty.

Most importantly, he is very clear about his position and his role to His Majesty!

The reason why he dared to open his mouth like a lion, hinted or directly demanded a large amount of wealth from those aspirants, and at the same time ensured that the promise could be fulfilled, was because he would secretly send the big money he got into the internal treasury and into His Majesty's private treasury!
He is very clear that only when His Majesty is satisfied and happy can the things he promised be fulfilled, and he will not be brought down by others!
Of course, there is a lot of room for maneuver in this kind of thing.

What he hinted to His Majesty was that he would use at least [-]% of the bribes to enrich the treasury every time, and the rest needed to be kept on the table to maintain his greedy personality.

Only in this way can the world's "ill-gotten wealth" be confiscated continuously.

But in fact, most of the time, he would only send half of the money to the internal funds, and sometimes even less than half.

However, he also knew that this kind of thing was risky after all, if it was done for a long time, no matter how cautious it was, there would be no guarantee that something would go wrong.

Therefore, he is currently considering whether to find a suitable time to propose an official position to His Majesty, in the name of forming a chamber of commerce and collecting the world's wealth for His Majesty, to obtain His Majesty's approval.

Because only in this way can his massive wealth be preserved and laundered, and his role to His Majesty can be even greater.

In this way, even if something goes wrong in the future, or someone finds out something, considering his own role, His Majesty will be able to forgive him and continue to reuse him.

"Master, preparations are being made for this matter, and it will be delivered tomorrow night."

The manager, Lao Qiu, bent over and responded softly.

"That's fine."

Lai Yongqing nodded in satisfaction.

A quarter of an hour later, when Lai Yongqing was slightly drunk from drinking, a dense crowd of government servants and military arresters from Dali Temple suddenly broke into the mansion, and there were still soldiers outside to seal the surrounding water!
In the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, Lai Yongqing's expression turned ugly as he watched the dozens of Dali Temple arresters floating around and staring coldly.

"Everyone, what do you mean?"

"Lai Yongqing, you are usually just corrupt and accepting bribes, but you dare to collude with the rebel Xiao Chengye who is plotting to subvert the imperial court's rule secretly. You really ate a bear's heart and leopard's guts!"

A headhunter with a golden coat of arms on his waist snorted coldly, and unfolded a document while speaking indifferently.

"Special Arrest Order of Dali Temple: Lai Yongqing, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, has accepted bribes 560 times since October of the first year of Shenwu, used power for personal gain and sold official positions 250 times, and..."

"This month, Lai Yongqing received bribes from the rebel Xiao Chengye five times successively, and the total value of the stolen goods exceeded ten million taels of gold! It is suspected that he secretly conspired with the rebel, with the intention of harming the court!"

Hearing a series of extremely detailed numbers, Lai Yongqing was shocked and angry.

He couldn't remember so much, how could the people in Dali Temple know more details than him?
Lai Yongqing suddenly turned his head to look for his manager, only to find that he had run to the shore at some point and was standing beside a figure standing like a well-behaved cat.

"Therefore, an arrest warrant is hereby issued, and he will be escorted back to the prison of Dali Temple for trial!"

After the reading was finished, the head catcher sneered and squinted at Lai Yongqing.

"Lai Shilang, you really are a coward! Even if there is no such thing as collusion with the rebel, the other things alone are enough to kill you dozens of times!"

"Don't worry, you are so powerful, you will have to be served by the death penalty in the end!"

"Take it!"

Lai Yongqing did not resist, but kept shouting loudly at the back of the bank with red eyes.

"Di Qing! I know it's you! You can't kill me! I want to see Your Majesty! I want to see Your Majesty!!"
