The book continues from the previous chapter.

Li Zhi looked at Wang Yuan who was shouting loudly, and whispered: "Stop shouting, it's useless, His Majesty has already abandoned you!"

Wang Yuan was shocked when he heard this, so he quickly changed his words and begged Li Zhi for mercy: "General Hussar, spare my life. As long as General Hussar can spare me, I will only obey General Hussar's orders in the future!"

Li Zhi heard this, shook his head, and whispered to Wang Yuan: "To me, a dead Wang Yuan is more useful than a living Wang Yuan!

Okay, don’t say any more, let’s get on the road!”

After saying that, he ignored Wang Yuan's pleading expression and stabbed Wang Yuan in the chest with his sword.

"Pfft..."

"Hmm! Uh...ah..."

After Wang Yuan was pierced through the chest by Li Zhi's sword, he stared at Li Zhi. He wanted to say something, but couldn't. Then he kicked off his legs and rode back to the west.

After Wang Yuan died, Li Zhi pulled out the Snake Sword from Wang Yuan's chest, wiped it clean on Wang Yuan's body, and put it back in its sheath.

Later, when Li Zhi saw Wang Yuan's dead expression, he felt it was a bit disturbing, so he kicked Wang Yuan over and made him face down.

At this moment, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty came over from a distance.

Li Zhi hurried forward to greet him and said respectfully to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, I killed Wang Yuan on my own initiative. Please punish me."

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty waved his hand nonchalantly: "In that case, let's fine the hussar general one month's salary."

As he spoke, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty looked at Wang Yuan's body, smashed his mouth, and said with regret: "I don't really care about this man's life or death.

But after his death, there will be no one to look for money for me, which is a pity."

Li Zhi heard this and was about to reply when he saw a chamberlain running over in a hurry: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened!

All the ministers of the court gathered at the gate of the palace, wanting to see His Majesty. Their faces were very ugly, something big must have happened!"

Liu Hong was surprised when he heard this. He didn't know why these ministers came to him, but since these ministers came together, something big must have happened.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong did not dare to neglect and said to the waiter: "Let him go quickly!"

After the chamberlain left, Li Zhi looked at the chamberlain's back thoughtfully: "I guess Mr. Lu has already taken action, it's so fast."

After a while, hundreds of ministers from Wuyangyang came towards this side aggressively.

When Lu Zhi and others came over, they found a body lying face down.

However, they didn't pay too much attention to this. It was common for people to die in the palace. Maybe one of the chamberlains made a mistake.

Liu Hong frowned after seeing the menacing formation of Lu Zhi and others.

No one needed to remind Liu Hongguang, just by looking at the formation, he knew that these ministers were probably coming for him this time.

When the ministers came closer, Liu Hong looked carefully at the ministers in front of him and found that they were all civil servants. General He Jin and other generals did not come.

Seeing this, Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, things finally did not develop in the worst direction.

After those people came closer, Lu Zhi and Yuan Feng stepped out from the crowd and said in unison to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhi (Yuan Feng) has seen you. May your Majesty be blessed and safe."

When Liu Hong saw this, he did not dare to be negligent and said with support: "You two gentlemen, please get up.

I wonder what the important business of the two Qing family and these ministers is here for me?"

Lu Zhi was the first to speak: "I ask your Majesty to close the Money Department and punish Wang Yuan, the principal of the Money Department!"

As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, Yuan Feng continued: "I also mean the same thing. This money department is acting arrogantly and misbehaving, disturbing the people of the capital and creating chaos! I hope your majesty will deal with it impartially!"

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, Liu Hong frowned tightly.

He didn't know how domineering Wang Yuan was in Beijing before he asked these ministers to come together.

You know, these ministers had a quarrel in the court a few days ago, but now they came together, which shows that Wang Yuan did go too far.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong scolded Wang Yuan in his heart

No, but he didn't want to close the Finance Department.

So Liu Hong said to Lu Zhi and others: "It's okay to kill Wang, but it's not okay to close the Money Department!"

"Your Majesty!" Lu Zhi and others shouted in unison: "If Your Majesty does not close the Finance Department, there will be trouble in the capital!"

"Isn't it that serious?" Liu Hong asked doubtfully: "The Finance Department was only established for half a month, how could it cause such serious consequences?"

"Your Majesty!" When Lu Zhi heard this, he burst into tears and took out a piece of brocade silk from his arms, which was stained with blood.

Lu Zhi handed the brocade silk to Liu Hong with trembling hands and said sadly: "Your Majesty, this is a blood letter written by dozens of ministers.

They were all law-abiding people in the past, but because their families had very little property, their homes were confiscated by the Treasury Department under unwarranted pretexts.

Not only that, but the wives and daughters of many ministers were kidnapped by the Finance Department, and they still don’t know whether they live or die!”

"This..." Liu Hong was a little embarrassed when he heard this. His own harem also received two beauties sent by Wang Yuan. These two beauties were probably the wives and daughters of those ministers.

Liu Hong did not dare to say this, because he was afraid that after saying it, these ministers would fight him in public. After all, he himself knew that what he did was indeed a bit ridiculous.

Seeing that Liu Hong was in a dilemma, Li Zhi, who was standing aside, quietly stepped forward and whispered to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, you might as well close the Finance Department first.

In fact, after Wang Yuan's death, we did not have any useful talents at our disposal, so the Finance Department was useless.

In this case, it is better to turn it off first to appease the ministers and prevent them from doing any harm in the excitement of the crowd."

Hearing this, Liu Hong thought for a while and nodded. He also understood that the Finance Secretary might not be able to keep him.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong sighed melancholy and weakly said to the ministers: "That's all, I agree to your request!"

All the ministers were overjoyed when they heard this, and some of the old ministers whose homes had been confiscated by the Finance Department even burst into tears.

However, Yuan Feng on the side was not happy.

Yuan Feng saw that Li Zhi was not only able to approach Liu Hong easily, but also changed Liu Hong's mind by just saying a few words to Liu Hong. This shows that Li Zhi's status in Liu Hong's heart is very high.

And Li Zhi did not get along with people from aristocratic families such as Yuan Feng, which made him extremely worried.

Yuan Feng lamented in his heart: "Isn't this Li Zhi too difficult to deal with?!

Not only is he favored by His Majesty, but he also has military power in his hands. He also has tens of thousands of troops outside the city, neither soft nor hard!

What should we do to suppress him?!"

Although Yuan Feng knew that the troops outside the city were not directly under Li Zhi, they could be regarded as having gone through life and death with Li Zhi.

Li Zhi is now a hussar general and has the power to command the world's troops. Those soldiers will probably obey his orders. Therefore, people from the aristocratic family never dare to be tough on Li Zhi, because they are afraid of pushing Li Zhi into a hurry.

Although people from the aristocratic family slandered Li Zhi everywhere, they had to admit that Li Zhi's strategy and military command were very powerful, and no one in the aristocratic family could surpass him.

While Yuan Feng was thinking wildly, Lu Zhi and others suddenly thought of Wang Yuan after being happy for a while, and asked Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, what should we do with Wang Yuan? I hope your Majesty will make it clear."

"Wang Yuan?" Liu Hong sneered, pointed to the corpse on the side and said: "That's Wang Yuan, go and see for yourself. If you feel you are still angry, drag him back and eat him!"

Liu Hong's tone was a bit harsh when he spoke, but it was because he was forced to close the Finance Department by the ministers, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

As soon as Liu Hong finished speaking, a person quickly ran to Wang Yuan's side and turned him over. When he saw that this person was Wang Yuan, the person was stunned instantly.

Then, the man cried sadly: "My son... why did you die to be your father first!!!"

Li Zhi heard the sound and took a look, wasn't it Wang Yun?

Although Li Zhi didn't know how Wang Yun, who had no official or title, came in, it was none of his business, so he stopped talking.

At this moment, Wang Yun suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Zhi, his eyes full of accusations.

Li Zhi turned his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at Wang Yun. After all, he had promised Wang Yun to save Wang Yuan's life.

However, things did not develop as Li Zhi thought. Wang Yuan was too desperate to kill him, so Li Zhi had no choice but to break his promise.

However, Li Zhi confirmed his original thoughts through Wang Yun's shout just now: "This Wang Yuan is really Wang Yun's son. Wang Yun, an old man, is really worthy of his brother!"

At this moment, Lu Zhi glanced at Wang Yuan with disdain, and after saying "poof" at Wang Yuan's body, he asked Liu Hong: "I wonder what Wang Yuan did to make His Majesty so angry?"

?”

Liu Hong was left speechless by Lu Zhi's question and he was speechless.

Mr. Liu Hong couldn't tell Lu Zhi that Wang Yuan exposed his shortcomings at every turn and shouted about his scandals. He became so angry that he acquiesced to Li Zhi to kill Wang Yuan, right?

Seeing that Liu Hong was speechless, Li Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him and said: "My nephew has seen Lu Gong. Wang Yuan was killed by my nephew himself!"

"Oh?" Lu Zhi heard this, looked at Li Zhi, and asked curiously: "I wonder why my nephew wanted to kill Wang Yuan?"

Lu Zhi didn't have to blame Li Zhi, no one wanted Wang Yuan dead more than him.

Lu Zhi originally wanted to deal with Wang Yuan publicly to appease the emotions of the ministers in the city. Now that Wang Yuan is dead, the effect has been greatly reduced, so Lu Zhi asked this question.

When Li Zhi heard this, he said angrily: "This Wang Yuan really deserves to die!

My nephew had nothing to do today, so he went to inspect the Northern Army camp, only to find that Wang Yuan was drinking and having fun with the beautiful woman he had snatched.

Seeing this, the nephew was furious and cut off his right hand with a sword as a punishment.

Unexpectedly, he was still not convinced, so he took his nephew to the palace to complain to His Majesty.

But this Wang Yuan was too arrogant. After he came to the palace, he did not take His Majesty seriously. Just because His Majesty said a few harsh words, he loudly insulted Your Majesty. In anger, his nephew struck Wang Yuan with a sword.

Behead."

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, he saw Wang Yun walking straight towards here.
