Therefore, Bai Qiuyuan understood that the other party not only did not object to him becoming the King of Yue.

They had even heard of his own name a long time ago, and still hoped in their hearts that they would become the King of Yue!

But Bai Qiuyuan didn't understand why the other party did this.

Yao Zhou: “…”

Yao Zhou obviously didn't expect Bai Qiuyuan to see through his actions.

After a moment of surprise, his expression quickly returned to normal.

Bai Qiuyuan asked with a smile.

"I don't know something."

"Why is Master Yao helping me?"

Yao Zhou saw that he had been exposed, so he stopped pretending to be stupid and started to explain.

"The mess left by the previous emperor cannot be changed by a general who has only learned military tactics since childhood."

"To save the people of Yue, Yue needs a wiser emperor."

“In the past, I heard that the White Emperor of Qiu State was not only extremely efficient in administration.”

"It is rare for Your Majesty to enact laws to protect women's rights throughout history."

"So I have also imagined that it would be great if such a person could become the emperor of our country."

"However, I hope in my heart that you will become the King of my country."

"But I never thought that this day would come so soon."

"I don't want to see what happens to the first person who resists you at your hands."

“So I was the first to stand up and object.”

"That's all."

Bai Qiuyuan: "I see."

[It's a roundabout way to save the country, but as long as it can save the country, does the process matter? ...]

If I hadn't given him a way out.

[I guess he really has become a martyr...]

Bai Qiuyuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Yao, for clearing up my confusion. I'm sorry for disturbing you today. Go get some rest early."

After saying that, Bai Qiuyuan turned and disappeared into the darkness of the room...

Yao Zhou: “?”

[Is he really just here to ask questions?]

Yao Zhou was stunned when he saw this. After all, in a sense, he was also deceiving the emperor.

After Bai Qiuyuan became emperor, many things needed to be rebuilt.

What if I, the person who contradicted His Majesty in front of everyone at the banquet hall, was assassinated that night?

It can play a better deterrent role.

So Yao Zhou had already prepared to die the moment he was exposed.

But Bai Qiuyuan didn't.

But just based on the fact that Bai Qiuyuan casually wanted to kill five people in the banquet hall.

Yao Zhou also understood that his young emperor was not an easy person to deal with.

Yao Zhou: [While he's ruthless, he's also kind to others...]

[It seems this elusive Majesty is even more terrifying than I thought...]

[A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in…A wise minister chooses the right master to serve?]

……

--the next day--

Bai Qiuyuan led the Yue State's property-raiding team to Zai Chengyi's house, which was closest to the imperial capital.

Bai Qiuyuan was wearing a white robe and a pair of sunglasses.

Although sunglasses are out of tune with ancient costumes, Bai Qiuyuan feels that when raiding a house, one must show enough momentum!

After Bai Qiuyuan arrived at the door of the prime minister's mansion, he smiled at the soldiers behind him while spinning the imperial edict in one hand.

"Search the house and take away all the valuables."

"I will give you the treasure. If you keep it privately, you will be severely punished."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

After everyone agreed, they broke open the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and rushed into the mansion!

"Wait! Who are you?!"

"What are you going to do?!"

Inside the mansion, a housekeeper tried to stop the soldiers led by Bai Qiuyuan.

But, obviously, it did not succeed.

After two soldiers held the butler under his arms and moved him to the side, the rest of the soldiers continued to rush in!

Soon, the sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets could be heard in the mansion.

The housekeeper was furious when he saw this.

"Who are you?"

"Breaking into a private house, do you still respect the law?"

"Do you know where this is?!"

"If my master knew about this, he would not let you off easily!"

Bai Qiuyuan came to the butler, spread out the imperial edict in his hand and said with a smile.

"The Prime Minister was executed yesterday in the Yue Kingdom's palace for the crime of corruption."

"I came here today to confiscate your property."

"But considering that you are innocent, I can find someone to arrange other jobs for you servants in the Zai Mansion."

When the butler saw the imperial edict and its contents, he felt as if the sky was falling.

But soon, the butler noticed the remaining balance of the imperial edict [Bai Qiuyuan].

The butler said angrily.

"This imperial edict of yours is obviously fake!"

"It's true that Bai Qiuyuan is the emperor."

"But Bai Qiuyuan is clearly the emperor of the Great Qiu Kingdom!"

"This is Yue Country! Not Qiu Country!"

Bai Qiuyuan took off his sunglasses, revealing his true face.

Then he took out the imperial seal of the Yue Kingdom from behind his back and explained with a smile.

"Sorry, the Kingdom of Yue now belongs to me, Bai Qiuyuan."

housekeeper:"???"

What a handsome child...

[Hmm? The Imperial Seal?!]

[Wait? Bai Qiuyuan?]

【…】

【What the hell? ? ? 】

Soon, the housekeeper burned the CPU because of Bai Qiuyuan's words.

For a moment, he stood there stupidly, bewildered.

After a while, the housekeeper came to his senses.

The housekeeper's legs couldn't help but tremble when he thought about how he had just yelled at Bai Qiuyuan...

Soon, the soldiers moved out box after box of valuables from Zai Chengyi's mansion!

Originally, some soldiers suspected that Bai Qiuyuan was just using the name of corruption to eliminate dissidents.

But when they saw the treasure being carried away in carts, everyone realized.

This Lord Zai is indeed corrupt!

There are even many who are corrupt!!

Otherwise, how could this gentleman who never did business have so much money just by being an official?

Other officials could not save up this much money even if they worked for several lifetimes!

——Half an hour later——

The soldiers finally emptied out Lord Zai's mansion.

A soldier came up to Bai Qiuyuan and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, all the valuables in the mansion have been emptied."

Bai Qiuyuan frowned.

"you sure?"

The soldier paused, then affirmed.

"Your Majesty, I am sure."

"I brought people to search the mansion twice, and no other valuables were found."

Bai Qiuyuan sighed and waved his hand.

"You guys, come with me."

Although the soldiers were confused, they still followed Bai Qiuyuan into the mansion again.

……

Soon, everyone came to an empty room.

Bai Qiuyuan was speechless.

"You guys, it's obvious you didn't rob enough of the property!"

"How could a normal corrupt person put valuables out in the open?"

The soldiers looked around and asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, there really is nothing else."

Bai Qiuyuan shook his head, took out a disposable peach wood sword from behind him, and inserted the sword into the crack in the floor!

Then use the sword to gently lift the tiles on the ground.

After the tiles were opened, it seemed that some mechanism was triggered!

A hole appeared under the tile!

And the hole under the tiles is a basement!!!

Looking from the ground, the cave is full of glittering gold ingots!

Everyone: “??!!!”

[There's actually a secret room?! ]

Bai Qiuyuan: "You, bring people to move the things here."
