Yufu.

A group of royal guards were lingering at the gate of Yanyi Mansion.

"Boss, the superiors asked us to search the Yu Mansion, what should we do?!"

The leader of the team was Xu Haoxue, deputy commander of Jinyiwei North Town Fusi and Qinglong's subordinate.

His parents hoped that he could make progress in learning, but Xu Haoxue had no talent for reading. Instead, he had good attainments in martial arts and torture. He rose through the ranks and became a royal guard at the age of twenty-nine.

The deputy commanding officer of Beizhen Fusi.

He can definitely be regarded as the Mesozoic elite among Beizhen Fusi. If he is lucky enough to break through Dongxuan, then he is the most qualified person to be the next commander of Beizhen Fusi.

Facing the questions from his subordinates, Xu Haoxue rolled his eyes, and then said angrily, "How dare you disobey the Holy Order?!"

All the imperial guards shook their heads. They were not senior ministers and they dared to refute the emperor's imperial edict.

"But Mr. Yu, he is a good official!"

Even Jin Yiwei admired Yu Yanyi's reputation.

Xu Haoxue shook his head, "You have worked for so many years, why are you still so naive?! How many sanctimonious people are there in this court?! Among the officials we investigated before, which one was not a good official before being investigated?!"

The salaries of officials in the Zhou Dynasty were low. Although they had received two salary increases, the starting point was too low. Even so, it was still difficult for them to live on their salaries.

It's fine for senior officials like Qian Muqian and Zhao Mengke who came from rich families, but officials who started from humble beginnings can't even maintain their basic dignity if they don't make some extra money.

Xu Haoxue asserted that it would be nonsense to say that all officials above the court were corrupt.

But if he catches every other person, there will definitely be only those who are guilty, not those who are unjust.

This is the system of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is not that these people are all heinous and corrupt officials, but it is determined by the system of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Okay! Stop talking nonsense and go search the house!"

Xu Hao followed his example and acted vigorously and immediately led his men into Yu Yanyi's house.

"The Jinyi Guards are inspecting the Yu Mansion. Anyone who dares to stop them will be killed!"

But Xu Haoxue soon discovered that his words made no sense at all.

Yu Yanyi was the chief assistant of the cabinet, and had the title of Minister of War and Prince Shaobao. However, in his huge mansion, there were only one servant, one old servant, and two maids sent by his wife's family to serve him.

These people have no ability to stop Jin Yiwei from doing anything.

Outside the door, the experts from the six gates who were originally responsible for protecting Yu Yanyi looked at this scene and their teeth were about to burst.

"Boss, we are just watching these Jinyiwei people do evil in the Lord Yu's house!?"

"..." The six-door arrester led by him remained silent.

The emperor has issued an edict, how can they do this?!

The young policeman watched the vicious Jin Yiwei rush into the Yu Mansion, but his superior did nothing and laughed in anger.

"Hahaha, I came to Liumen to contribute to the country, not to be a pawn of a cowardly king and a sycophant! This court doesn't want to wait for you!"

The young catcher tore off his uniform, threw away his sword, and walked away.

Several young detectives followed his lead and took off their clothes.

How could a young man with such a young spirit tolerate this kind of arrogant behavior?!

The middle-aged policemen, led by the senior policeman, did not speak. They had passed the era of being alone and carefree.

Even if it was for the sake of their family, it would be impossible for them to do such impulsive things.

Xu Hao sat in the main hall of Yu's mansion like a golden sword, waiting for the results of the house raid. He wanted to see how much money could be confiscated from Yu's house, which was praised by both the government and the public.

A cup of tea, a stick of incense, a quarter of an hour, a little less than half an hour.

The Jin Yiwei who went to search various places came back one after another, and brought back many valuable things.

Twenty-five taels of broken silver, six jars of rice, half a jar of rapeseed oil, four jars of wine, twenty-two bundles of dry firewood, a set of four imperial treasures, a box of jewelry, and a sword - Qixing Longyuan,

The scabbard was extremely worn.

"Ha! Is it well hidden?!" Xu Haoxue looked at Mrs. Yu aside, "Is this box of jewelry the dowry of Mrs. Yu?!"

Xu Haoxue slowly drew out his sword and said, "Tell me, where is the money in the house hidden!? The late emperor should have rewarded me with a lot of money but kept me rich! Who can I show to you by pretending to be poor like this?!"

Mrs. Yu looked at Xu Haoxue and shook her head.

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice!"

Xu Haoxue felt angry when he saw Mrs. Yu being so uncooperative.

"Search for me! Even if you dig deep into the ground, you can still find the stolen money hidden by Yu Yanyi."

The Yu Mansion was given by the former Emperor Taizongwen, so it is not a trivial matter to search it thoroughly.

Xu Haoxue started from late afternoon until Youshi, when night fell, and led twenty Jinyi guards to dig out the fish ponds in the mansion, but there was no harvest.

Just when Xu Haoxue thought he had made a mistake in his judgment, a guard suddenly came to report and found a small room next to the woodshed with a locked wooden cabinet inside.

Xu Haoxue couldn't help laughing loudly after hearing this.

"Hahaha! Follow me!"

After passing through the central courtyard, he came to this small room. Xu Haoxue glanced around and said, "Yu Yanyi is good at hiding. This room is next to the woodshed, so it is really inconspicuous."

After saying this, Xu Haoxue took the lead and entered the room.

In this remote room, there was only a wooden cabinet, which looked a bit old and was still locked. It was unknown how much dirty silver was hidden in it.

Although this wooden cabinet cannot hold too much silver, if it were replaced with banknotes...

Without saying a word, Xu Haoxue drew his sword, raised his hand and dropped the sword. He cut off the lock on the cabinet with one blow and opened the cabinet.

What appeared in front of him made Xu Haoxue freeze on the spot, not knowing how to deal with it.

Shame, admiration, anger, dissatisfaction... came to my heart all at once, a mixture of mixed feelings.

This cabinet contains no gold, pearls, or jade, nor does it have any banknotes or land deeds. There are only two items lying quietly in the wooden cabinet in the dark - the python-robed monk Fang Jian.

This was specially awarded to Yu Yanyi by Emperor Taizongwen when he was dying in order to commend Yu Yanyi's achievements in the Battle of Jinyang. Although Yu Yanyi accepted it due to the emperor's order, he never showed it to others.

To show their glory, they were locked up. Except for Emperor Wen and Yu Yanyi, only those who participated in the reward knew about it.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Xu Haoxue looked at the python-robed monk Fang Jian, he knew he was wrong! How wrong!

Xu Haoxue, who had always accumulated a lot of authority in front of his subordinates, couldn't help but slap himself in the face, then carefully closed the door of the wooden cabinet, exited the room, and restored everything to its original state.

"Do you have any money on you?!"

All the Jin Yiwei looked at the young and rebellious Jin Yiwei command deputy.

"Give it all to me, I'll lend it to you!"

Everyone took out money from their pockets. Jin Yiwei's salary was not high, but Xu Haoxue had the ability to make money, so his cronies were not poor. Everyone pooled their money together, and there were a total of one hundred and eighty taels of silver notes.

Sixty-two taels of silver and some copper coins.

The money carried by dozens of royal guards was several times the wealth of a second-rank official in the imperial court.

Xu Haoxue carefully held the silver and came to Mrs. Yu.

"Master Yu, you are a good official, and even more a good person! I am ignorant, I will give you... and Master Yu, kowtow and apologize!"

Xu Haoxue placed the silver notes on the ground, "I am exiled to Longmen, and I have gone away from the bitter cold. Madam keeps these coins so that they can be used in emergencies..."

After Xu Haoxue finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily three times, then stood up and said to everyone in Jin Yiwei, "Mrs. Yu and everyone in the house please leave!"

…

----------------------------------

The next day, there was a court meeting.

The biggest issue today is the crime and punishment of Yanyi.

However, Yang Qingyuan did not appear here. He knew that no matter how hard he argued and argued, today's result would not change.

In this case, there is no need to waste words with these people.

"My lords, how should I be punished for committing an offense against Yanyi?!"

As soon as Zhu Zhankun finished speaking, Cheng Qingsong, the right censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, stood up.

"Your Majesty, why would you hesitate to accuse me of a crime? Your Majesty, what exactly is the crime you have committed? Your Majesty, please make it clear."

Zhu Zhankun glanced at Li Hongyi, and Li Hongyi knew that it was time for him to take action. He was quite the chief minister of the cabinet, but he was unwilling to contribute. How could there be such a good thing in this world?

"Sir Cheng, Yu Yanyi intends to commit rebellion. This crime has been decided for a long time. What we are discussing today is how to punish him."

Although Cheng Qingsong is over sixty years old, his slightly stooped figure is as tall and straight as a pine tree.

"I dare to ask Grand Scholar Li, how can the word "will" convince the world?!"

"..."

Just when Cheng Qingsong was about to continue his attack, Cao Shouzheng suddenly took out a memorial from his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, since Cheng Yuan is asking for evidence, I just have one piece of evidence here."
