Chapter 118 The Emperor Sells Officials
Lai Si actually didn't want to be the chief minister of the cabinet from the bottom of his heart. He saw how busy Li Xianlai was on weekdays. Although he had great power, it was just more busy for a person like him who had no evil intentions.
Before Lai Si could calm down, Emperor Zhu Chengyuan spoke again: "Do you have any money on you?"
Lai Si looked at the biggest gangster leader in China with a vigilant expression. He quickly covered his chest with his hands and shook his head: "No, no, I can't even open the pot. Where did the money come from!"
Emperor: "Then why are you holding your chest nervously? Could it be that you are hiding something good? Just hand it over yourself, so that I don't have people to dig through it. If the word spreads, you will have a bad reputation, and then those stupid doctors at Yushitai will have to scold you again.
You are ignorant!"
Lai Si, who was about to die of suffocation, said: "Your Majesty, you have so many reasons for this robbery, it's too unreasonable!"
Zhu Chengyuan glared at him, and then shouted at the door at the top of his lungs: "Where are the imperial guards?"
"Here!" Two guards with swords and bright clothes appeared at the door and responded.
Upon seeing this, Raiji quickly waved his hands to the two people and said: "Brother, it's okay, it's okay." The two guards left and it was either right or wrong. Then he saw Raisi obediently took out a card from his chest.
The one hundred taels of silver notes looked at His Majesty the Emperor with aggrieved eyes and said: "Your Majesty, this is the only one hundred taels of silver. I will give you all my belongings."
The emperor smiled, took the one hundred taels of silver notes, shook them, and said, "This money will be used to help me promote you to the position of chief minister of the cabinet!" Lai Si looked disgusted, who in China would dare to let you do the money management!
In the harem, Queen Li Jinxin was working with her maids. His Majesty the Emperor quietly approached without noticing. Although she is the head of the harem, few people can match Li Jinxin's needlework skills. Even His Majesty the Emperor's dragon robe
The five-clawed golden dragon on it was sewn on by the queen herself with gold thread.
Seeing His Majesty the Emperor approaching lightly, Li Jin stood up in panic and curtsied to salute, but Zhu Chengyuan grabbed his hand and said: "The queen will not allow me to salute when she sees me in the future. I will be angry if she does this again." The queen was squeamish.
He glared at Zhu Chengyuan, dismissed the maid guard and said while working as a female worker: "Your Majesty, I heard this today, you have made a lot of money, right?
!”
The emperor muttered: "These little bastards don't even have a handle on their mouths."
The queen put down her sewing and stood up, walked behind Zhu Chengyuan and began to knead the emperor's shoulders, saying: "Your Majesty, don't blame those errands. Your majesty, the Emperor of China, actually reduced his position as chief minister of the cabinet to one hundred taels."
The price has been sold, and you are the only one who dares to do this in the past and present!"
"Hahaha, the main reason is that this boy Lai Si is so good at pretending. Seeing his cowardice makes me want to give him a hard blow. Don't tell me, this boy is really rich." The emperor laughed.
"Really?" The queen looked at the emperor who turned around with a smile.
Zhu Chengyuan quickly stood up and took out the banknote from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Jin Xin, this banknote was originally meant to be given to you, but you see, I forgot about it in my excitement!"
The queen took the banknotes that had just been cheated from His Majesty the Emperor's hand with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I also heard that you deducted Mr. Lai's salary for another year. How much is this money?"
His Majesty the Emperor said with a black line on his face: "Same as before, can the Ministry of Internal Affairs hand it over to you directly?"
"Well, that's pretty much it!" the queen said with a satisfied smile.
Who would have thought that the current Emperor and the empress of the world have such a playful side? If Lai Si and several ministers who had their salaries deducted knew that His Majesty the Emperor was like this, their eyes would probably pop out!
Emperor Zhu Chengyuan suddenly pointed behind the queen and asked: "Jin Xin, what do you see behind?" When the queen turned to look behind her, the emperor rushed forward, picked up the queen, and walked to the bed behind the screen.
Go, let the queen beat his chest, and just said with a bad smile: "Xin'er, the weather is nice today, come and do some exercise with me!"
...
In the lobby of the Annan Road Inspectorate, Qin Xiaoqin and Ye Chen looked at the confession they had just heard without saying a word. Yan Er's abduction and trafficking of children was no longer a matter of a year or two. According to several thugs, they helped Guan Erdan do this.
It has been four years, and as many as 200 children have been sent away.
According to the location provided by several thugs, Qin Xiaoqin led a raid on the small village outside the south city gate overnight. In addition to Guan Erdan, a total of 14 gangsters were captured and seven children were rescued. Yan Er's right-hand man Guan Erdan was there.
He fled in the chaos.
In a dilapidated house behind a teahouse in the south of the city, Guan Erdan looked at the masked ghost in front of him and bowed his head and said: "Master Ghost, I want to see you, sir. Our stronghold outside the south of the city was taken away by the government!"
The masked ghost's gloomy eyes scared Guan Erdan and took several steps back. Guan Erdan quickly lowered his head and apologized: "Master Gui, I'm useless, please punish me."
The masked ghost took out the short knife from his waist, and swiped the tip of his tongue across the blade, making Guan Erdan tremble. In the black market, except for Yan Er's adopted son who had not been seen for a long time, the masked ghost had a very important status.
He is taller, it can be said that he is not lower than Yan Er's confidant Bucklo. In addition, he is very resolute and ruthless in his work, so everyone is afraid of him.
Masked Ghost: "Who is taking the lead?"
Guan Erdan: "It was dark and I couldn't see clearly, but it looks like Qin Xiaoqin from the Inspectorate."
Upon hearing the words Qin Xiaoqin, the masked ghost couldn't help but look up at Guan Erdan and asked, "Have those children been brought back?"
Guan Erdan lowered his head and did not dare to speak. The masked ghost already understood the look he was looking at. As soon as he spoke, the masked ghost pulled the short knife horizontally, and Guan Erdan covered his neck with both hands and slowly fell down with a ferocious expression.
In a pool of blood.
"Pack it up, take away everything you can, and set fire to what you can't take away. Don't let the gang of errands find any clues!" the masked ghost ordered.
At this time, a person was lying on the roof of the main house of the dilapidated house, quietly observing the situation in the courtyard. The masked ghost's alertness was beyond the expectation of the person on the roof, and he could realize it just by relying on Guan Erdan's escape.
The danger here is so great that people are more alert than ordinary people.
The person lying on the roof was none other than Mei. Although Erdan's escape was something that Ye Chen, Qin Xiaoqin and others had discussed in order to find out the person behind the scenes, who knew that this masked ghost was ruthless and would not give him any help at all?
When your companion has the opportunity to explain, killing him with one knife is as easy as killing an insect!
Just when the Masked Ghost and others were about to escape, Ye Chen rushed in with several people from the Anjiang Society, and Zhi and Zhi directly blocked the Masked Ghost's path.
