Chapter 148 Why are there so many water stains on the picture?“Really?” Li Xingyun couldn’t help laughing, but in order to match Zhong Xiaokui’s little interest, he quickly got into the role and said, “Then I’m going to torture you, huh? Master Zhong Kui of the Xuanming Sect!” As he spoke, another slap came down. There was a crisp sound. "Hmm..." Zhong Xiaokui hummed softly, and then Li Xingyun seemed to remember something and said to Zhong Xiaokui: "Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night in Luoyang." "Ah?" Zhong Xiaokui, who was just immersed in the wonderful taste of being 'tortured' by His Highness, looked back at Li Xingyun in a daze and asked, "What's wrong, Your Highness? Is there anything going on in Luoyang tonight?" Li Xingyun looked at the silly girl and explained with a smile: "You just ordered all the people from Xuanming Sect to be sent out. Don't tell me you don't know what they are doing." Zhong Xiaokui finally reacted and stood up and said, "Ahhh, Your Highness is talking about dealing with those corrupt officials. Why didn't Your Highness let Xiaokui lead people to kill them directly? Those corrupt officials can be killed, and there are no experts, so there is no need to worry about their counterattack." Li Xingyun pinched Zhong Xiaokui's face and said, "It's not that we can't kill them, but this knife must have a legitimate reason. Behind these officials, there are more or less shadows of the governors of various parties. If you kill them all, the court of Liang will be shaken, and the governors will rise up in rebellion. Then the room for development for me will become smaller again." Zhong Xiaokui nodded as if she understood, then looked at Li Xingyun with fiery eyes. She didn't want to talk about these official matters with Li Xingyun now. She just wanted to have some private time with Li Xingyun. Well, let’s talk about that big business worth hundreds of millions, for example.
"Tian Anxing, you have shaken the foundation of my Liang State. My Xuanming Sect will never let you go. Even if... no matter what you do to me, I will never surrender!" Li Xingyun looked at Zhong Xiaokui with interest and said, "Is this all you do in your little head all day?" Zhong Xiaokui's face flashed with shame when she heard this, but she became firm again. She watched Li Xingyun approach her step by step, and her clothes slipped off quietly... "For Liang State!" Zhong Xiaokui shouted softly, but before she finished speaking, her strength was broken in an instant. A big hand reached into her without any scruples. The girl's originally firm eyes instantly became tender, and when the two looked at each other, they had already merged into one... "Your Highness." Zhong Xiaokui jumped lightly and hooked his arms around Li Xingyun's neck, hanging on Li Xingyun like a big sloth. A sizzling sound... …… (Tomorrow the group will update the extra chapter, just this chapter.) …… The wind rose and fell, and the threshold of the government office in Luoyang was trampled down by the servants of the ministers one by one, but what could they do? Who dared to ask for things from the Xuanming Sect? Especially since the Xuanming Sect was in the emperor's favor and had obtained military power. Boom, boom, boom... Military drums were beating. Zhu Youzhen was half lying on a glazed couch, watching the sword dance on the stage and drinking comfortably. All the officials were kneeling on the ground. If you looked closely, many of them had sweat on their foreheads. They didn't know whether the account book that was snatched away by the Xuanming Sect last night had fallen into His Majesty's hands. If so, then all would be over. "Huh? What are you all kneeling for? There is no court today, so please leave." Zhu Youzhen looked at the officials of Daliang who were kneeling in an orderly manner with some surprise. These old guys were listless when they attended the court. What happened today? No one came to report after they came. "Your Majesty, Zhong Kui of the Xuanming Sect wishes to see you." One of Zhu Youzhen's personal guards suddenly bowed and shouted something, which immediately frightened 90% of the officials kneeling below so much that their legs went limp. Some of them even fainted on the ground. This made Zhu Youzhen even more puzzled. He waved his hand and said, "Let her in." Zhu Youzhen then frowned and looked at the Daliang officials and shouted, "If you have something to say, please report it. If you don't, please leave the court. Don't kneel here and affect my mood!" After Zhu Youzhen's shout, none of the officials dared to move. Although it was already cooler in October, these officials were sweating profusely. Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt angry, "What? My words are no longer effective?" Just when Zhu Youzhen was about to lose his temper, Zhong Xiaokui, with a rosy face, walked into the palace gate with a dozen elite members of the Xuanming Sect. Without exception, all of these elite members of the Xuanming Sect were holding stacks of account books in their hands. "I am Zhong Kui from the Xuanming Sect, greeting your majesty." Zhong Xiaokui bowed politely, and Zhu Youzhen asked in astonishment, "Zhong Kui, what are these people holding?"
Zhong Xiaokui cupped his hands and said calmly, "These are the account books that my Xuanming Sect members seized from the homes of officials in Daliang last night. They record their bribery and bribery. Now that the gates of Luoyang are closed, Your Majesty can send people to the homes of officials to check at any time. Zhong Kui has never falsely accused a good official." Zhong Xiaokui's words immediately made Zhu Youzhen climb up from the couch. He pointed at the account books several feet high held by the Xuanming Sect elites and asked in surprise: "What are these?" Zhong Xiaokui said calmly, "All of them. Last night, we checked a total of seventy-two people. Their account books are all here now. Your Majesty, please check them." "Present it here quickly!" Zhu Youzhen's face was slightly distorted, and he was obviously suppressing his anger while speaking. What the hell were these bastards doing here, coming to pay their respects to him so early in the morning? It turned out they were waiting here! Zhu Youzhen glanced viciously at the officials who were kneeling in the hall. These officials bowed their heads to the ground one by one, and no one dared to look up at him. Wow! Wow! Wow! Zhu Youzhen casually flipped open the account book and immediately laughed angrily, "Well, well, the night-shining pearls from the East China Sea, the blood corals from the South China Sea, and the tribute wine from the Western Regions, and the bed made of gold! Wang Chengsi! Look at what you have done!" Suddenly, a middle-aged official rolled out from the crowd, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and cried, "Your Majesty, I am confused, I am confused, please punish me!" Zhu Youzhen casually threw the account book to Wang Chengsi, then flipped through another one and started reading. "Bastard!" Zhu Youzhen angrily opened another account book, but before he finished reading it, he felt a severe headache. The amount of embezzled money in the account book was shocking to him! "Bastards, you bunch of bastards, this is all my money, my money!" Zhu Youzhen's face turned pale. The money these bastards embezzled was enough to fill up his Daliang treasury several times over! At this time, Zhong Xiaokui bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Last night, Li Xingyun's men took advantage of the emptiness inside the Xuanming Sect and escaped from prison to rescue Li Xingyun." "What?" Zhu Youzhen was about to get angry, but he saw Zhong Xiaokui holding a cowhide map with both hands and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. Fortunately, I have already forced Li Xingyun to draw a treasure map of Longquan treasure through 'interrogation'. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty." Zhong Xiaokui presented the map to Zhu Youzhen, who frowned and saw that the last location marked was indeed within the territory of Jin State. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Can you guarantee the authenticity of this map?" Zhong Xiaokui said solemnly: "I guarantee it with my life!" At this time, Zhu Youzhen frowned and looked at the spots on the map and couldn't help asking: "Has this map ever fallen into the water? Why are there so many water stains on it?" "..." Zhong Xiaokui's computer crashed for a moment, then he immediately lowered his head and said, "It was my subordinates who were careless. I will go back and deal with them right away!" Zhong Xiaokui's face was bloodshot when he lowered his head. The picture that His Highness had been writing and drawing on the table last night was exactly this picture... (End of this chapter)
