In the main hall of the Royal Palace of Qixia Kingdom, the bright and warm rays of the rising sun fell on the ground. However, there was silence and coldness in the main hall.
The news about Liu Jingming was delivered, and everyone also knew about the rebellion of Yan Chengxian and Hong Xiushan and the empty treasury.
"Speak!" The emperor roared angrily, and smashed the inkstone on the imperial desk. The inkstone was of very good quality, and it directly made a hole in the ground.
Seeing His Majesty being so angry, everyone did not dare to speak.
"Ouyang Si!" The emperor named him angrily.
Ouyang Si stepped out carefully, "Your Majesty, I... would like to go to the Zhang family to express condolences on your behalf."
"allow!"
Ouyang Si hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, you need to... take something with you when going to the Zhang family."
The anger on the emperor's face subsided slightly, but after such an incident, the treasury could not get anything out. After thinking about it, the emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't Zhang Shengde already at the Nascent Soul stage? The Zhang family should not have any martial arts."
Let's make a copy of "Feng Yun Jue" and give it to the Zhang family!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ouyang Si was overjoyed.
Generally speaking, the skills are the most unique reward - just copying one copy costs one jade slip, but the value of the skills is immeasurable.
"Fengyun Jue" is one of Ouchi's exercises, and it can be called a top-grade exercise in the Nascent Soul stage. This is a exercise that only Ouchi's guards and the emperor's ministers are qualified to practice.
Ouyang Si was led by the servant to the Imperial Study Room and personally copied a copy of "Feng Yun Jue". After checking that there were no problems, he set off under the protection of the Ouchi guards.
But in the court, after Ouyang Si left, everyone finally started to lively.
Some people said: There is a problem with the Minister of Household Affairs, and Han Yue, the imperial censor who is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, has committed an unpardonable crime and should be dismissed from his post and investigated.
The emperor was originally dissatisfied with Han Yue, but now that he had this excuse, he immediately made a decision: Han Yue was dismissed and Zhao Duo was promoted to the new censor. Zhao Duo's first task was to review Han Yue.
There are three things that a new official should do when he takes office, and Zhao Duo's first thing is to burn his predecessor.
The position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue cannot be vacant. After comprehensive consideration, the emperor promoted an official named 'Su Ming' and ordered Su Ming to re-examine all the past and records of Yan Chengxian, especially to find out where the wealth went.
Through what channels and methods it disappeared; who was involved in this process.
Finally, the emperor gave the sword to Su Ming: "Anyone who dares to obstruct the investigation can be killed on the spot! Yan Chengxian and Hong Xiushan alone are absolutely incapable of transferring so much wealth! There must be accomplices!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew in the court hall, and several officials began to shiver!
Before the emperor could say anything, someone knelt down and regretted it.
The Emperor's face was cold and stern: "There's no use regretting it, just make the matter clear!"
"Yes... Your Majesty, at first Yan Chengxian took out some elixirs, more than ten thousand kilograms of elixirs, and asked me to help with them, and promised 20% of the benefits, and there will be more in the future. Although I was puzzled, I was attracted by the wealth.
I was confused, so I helped to deal with it.
In the past two years, I have processed a total of about 120,000 kilograms of elixirs and made a profit of more than 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones."
The emperor smiled, and his smile was very sinister: "A pill does not cost more than two yuan, and a pound of pills costs at least 50 pills. 120,000 kilograms of pills requires 6 million pills!
How did Yan Chengxian transport so many elixirs!"
"Use a storage ring."
This time, before the emperor could speak, Zhongshu Ling Guan Zhengqing, who had been silent next to him, spoke: "There are space restrictions all around the outer treasury. Not to mention the storage ring, not even the magic weapon can be sacrificed. Then Yan Chengxian's storage
Is the ring special?"
"Ah... yes, yes! He once let slip that the storage ring came from the Kingdom of Danyang and was specially designed for space restriction. He also said that such a storage ring is worth more than 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones."
The emperor looked at the court with cold eyes, "Who else is there? There are more than 120,000 kilograms of pills in the outer treasury!"
The sound of popping continued, and several more people knelt down. Some were handling elixirs, some were handling spiritual materials, and some were handling magic weapons...
Listening to each one's story, the Emperor's face was filled with tears.
Yan Chengxian... is cruel enough!
The people kneeling in the court now are all important mid-level officials of the country. These officials have huge influence behind them. Just talking about their business network, they account for almost half of the market of Qixia Country.
But now, all these people have been dragged into the water by Yan Chengxian.
If the emperor wants to deal with these people, the entire Qixia Kingdom will collapse in half. If he doesn't deal with these people, where will the country's influence be!
Use the wealth of Qixia Country to corrode the officials of Qixia Country, disrupt the order of Qixia Country, and confuse the politics of Qixia Country!
However, Yan Chengxian just walked away and went to Zhangjiashun to obtain a piece of technical information.
The emperor was furious and kicked over the imperial court. The broken imperial court was scattered in the court, leaving only the speechless officials and the trembling criminals kneeling on the ground.
After all, there are only a few things that are 'black or white' in this world. The emperor must consider it now, and then consider it again!
Finally, Zhongshu Ling gave a suggestion: "Your Majesty, it is better to detain these people first and send people to investigate. If what is said is true, I hope that they will take the initiative to explain and have a sincere attitude, so they can be given a lighter sentence."
Then send people to recover all the recoverable property and temporarily seal the treasury of the relevant family.
And Yan Chengxian, Hong Xiushan, and the families of the defected guards should be severely punished to uphold the law of the country!"
"Okay!" The angry emperor immediately ordered that the relatives of Yan Chengxian, Hong Xiushan and others were deprived of their cultivation and enslaved forever; their family members were all sent to military camps.
Families, firms, etc. that have participated in the sale of treasury items are facing confiscation!
At the same time, in order to replenish the elixir reserves, the state purchased elixirs from the private sector at any cost, and even went to Jiuyang Sect and Xinglin Hall to purchase them directly.
This directly led to a surge in the price of folk elixirs.
For a time, the country of Qixia was in turmoil.
…………
However, Yan Chengxian, Hong Xiushan and others kept coming all the way to the border of Danyang Kingdom.
Zhu Chongxin, the general of the Danyang Kingdom, warmly hosted a banquet in honor of Yan Chengxian and his party.
The banquet was in full swing, but it turned out that the elbows and armpits were raw.
Yan Chengxian, Hong Xiushan and others suddenly launched an attack; especially Yan Chengxian, who was closest to Zhu Chongxin, pierced Zhu Chongxin's heart with a sword, destroying his internal organs and meridians.
"You..." Zhu Chongxin looked at each other in disbelief.
"Hmph!" Yan Chengxian sneered, without any explanation, and pierced the opponent's dantian and between the eyebrows with his sword, and finally cut off his head, thus avoiding future troubles.
Looking back at the Danyang Country's border generals, big and small, who were almost slaughtered, Yan Chengxian sneered, and then said to Zhu Chongxin's corpse: "Danyang Country and Qixia Country both belong to the Six Western Countries, and the current war situation is unfavorable; if the situation changes,
They would hand us over if they couldn't help it.
Moreover, the emperor of Danyang Kingdom has the habit of killing donkeys!
Now that we have obtained the Zhang family’s technology, why should we stay in the precarious West?”
