Sure enough, you are greedy a lot!

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was shocked. Several officials around him were stunned and looked at the smiling imperial envoy with wide eyes. Lu Guangcheng was also dumbfounded and could not utter a word.

For a moment, the entire hall was silent, except for the noisy voices below the tower, which made the empty hall even more silent. You could even hear a pin drop.

I don’t know how long this silence lasted before Lu Guangcheng forced a smile and said, "Haha, the imperial envoy really likes jokes."

The imperial envoy also burst out laughing, put his arms around the singer who was a little overwhelmed, and said with a smile: "Really? You think the joke I just told is funny?"

The singer was also very clever. She quickly smiled like a flower, leaned softly into the arms of the imperial envoy, and said, "My lord, you are so witty."

After saying this, everyone laughed.

With this smile, Lu Guangcheng also breathed a sigh of relief. The words of the Imperial Commissioner just now made him break into a cold sweat. At this time, he carefully wiped his forehead with his sleeve.

Just when everyone was joking easily and preparing to raise their glasses to drink together, the imperial envoy slowly put down the wine glass and said, "Do you know, sir, why I am so witty?"

Everyone was stunned again. They held up their glasses and stopped talking. They just looked at him.

The imperial envoy smiled faintly, pulled out a file from his wide sleeve, looked around, slowly unfolded it, and read: "Lu Guangcheng, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, privately occupied thousands of acres of farmland in the south of the city during his tenure. In order to cover up his crimes,

You sent officers and soldiers to drive the local people out of the country, and also forcibly took the villagers who complained to jail and tortured them to death. Is this possible?"

When Lu Guangcheng heard this, he was stunned.

The Imperial Envoy read again: "Zhi Fangye of Yangzhou Prefecture, you have been colluding with black market merchants all year round, smuggling official salt, falsely reporting losses, and seeking personal gain from it. Is this possible?"

When Fang Tongzhi heard this, he was so frightened that he could not speak while holding the wine glass.

"Zhang Wenxiang, the magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture, secretly deducted tribute from the imperial court. In the first year of Tiansheng, you secretly took off the golden mother crane top from the tribute and hid it in the treasury. In the second year of Jianlong, you secretly withheld three boxes of silver hooks and jade as tribute.

Eight steeds and eighteen arhats, can this happen?!"

……

"Yangzhou Prefecture is guarding Ge Wei. You lied about the number of soldiers and deducted military pay. Is this possible?"

……

"Yangzhou Prefecture has sentenced Qi Hongyi. In order to seize a beautiful civilian girl, you actually fabricated a crime to frame her husband, seized her property, and sent her to prison to torture to death. However, you raped the girl into the house and hanged herself to death three days later.

,Is this possible?"

……

Every year he said this, those officials turned pale. They never imagined that the crimes he committed seven or eight years ago, before he even colluded with Pei Yuanxiu, would actually be recorded, and all the evidence would be recorded by this unknown person in front of him.

Under the control of the Imperial Envoy.

They looked at each other, and when they saw something was wrong, they hurriedly stood up.

But just when these officials were about to stand up and shout, the imperial envoy's entourage, who had been arranged to take a seat in the side hall, were already ready and suddenly rushed into the hall.

This sudden change shocked several ministers!

The two guards, Ge Wei and Qi Taihua, were skilled in martial arts and were closest to the gate. They were the first to rush out, but just as they rushed to the gate, they were already rushed forward by two followers.

, the four of them suddenly started punching and kicking each other. Although the two guards were generals, they obviously neglected to practice and their martial arts were not very strong.

Soon, they were retreating steadily in the battle. One of the followers became more and more courageous as he fought. Seeing that he was unstoppable, Ge Wei wanted to turn around and run away, but the guard behind him flew up and kicked him hard on the back of the head.

There was a crack at his neck bone, and his whole body was suddenly kicked soft, like a broken sack filled with rice, and hit the door with a bang.

And at this moment, there was a loud bang in the sky outside, and bursts of white light suddenly came in from the outside, illuminating the hall with flickering candles, like thunder and lightning.

Change.

It’s the fireworks of Yangzhou City!

Fireworks flashed, and all the people below the city tower suddenly cheered. In the midst of these shouts, the few followers struck down three and five divided by two, restraining the two guards, while the other followers were like dragons and tigers, and it was effortless to restrain the civil servants.

With little effort, everyone had their hands tied and their heads pressed on the table.

Just in an instant, the situation in the hall has changed dramatically!

Except for the two guards who were knocked unconscious, Zhizhou, Tongzhi and others were still conscious, but everyone still couldn't believe it, especially Lu Guangcheng, whose face was pressed hard against the desk and almost deformed.

, looked at the imperial envoy sitting in front of him with wide eyes and a look of no emotion on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty the imperial envoy, what do you mean? Even if you want to punish us, we are all officials of the imperial court, there is no emperor.

The imperial edict, you can’t touch us!”

"Can't move?"

The imperial envoy listened, with a sneer on his lips, and turned to look at him: "You said, I can't touch you?"

"My house?!"

When Lu Guangcheng heard these two words, he was shocked: "You - you -"

The imperial envoy had already stood up at this time. The singer who was originally lying in his arms had already fainted from fear and huddled at his feet. The imperial envoy raised his leg and walked over the singer and walked to Lu Guangcheng.

Looking at him condescendingly, he slowly took out another thing from his sleeve.

It was a bright yellow scroll.

When Lu Guangcheng saw it, he suddenly became paralyzed.

"The Emperor has decreed that I have appointed this official as the Governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, who has the right to kill and seize the civil and military officials of Yangzhou, regardless of their rank, and they can kill them first and then report them!"

"..."

"Lu Guangcheng, did you know that seven of you should be killed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another firework burst out in the sky outside, and the dazzling white light shone on his face. His gaze was like a torch, and his will was like a knife. It shocked Lu Guangcheng to the point of losing three souls and seven souls. He was stunned and speechless.

Come.

The imperial envoy slowly raised his head, held up the imperial edict in one hand, and said: "Those who invade farmland and oppress the people, kill them!"

A firework bloomed in the night sky, making a deafening roar.

A follower raised the sharp blade in his hand and swung it down at Lu Guangcheng. Blood splashed three feet and his head fell to the ground.

Under the city tower, all the people shouted.

The imperial envoy held the imperial edict, walked down from the main seat, took one step, and read out another sentence: "Those who smuggle official salt and disrupt the market will be killed!"

Another firework blooms, shining brightly on the earth.

A follower raised the sharp blade in his hand and chopped off Fang Ye's head...

"Anyone who withholds tribute from the imperial court will be killed!"

Another firework blooms.

A follower raised the sharp blade in his hand and chopped off Zhang Wenxiang's head...

"Those who deduct military pay will be killed!"

Fireworks bloomed, and a follower raised a sharp knife and chopped off Ge Wei's head...

"Those who take bribes and violate the law shall be killed!"

Fireworks bloomed, a follower raised a knife and dropped it, blood spattered five steps...

"Those who disturb the people and cause trouble shall be killed!"

Fireworks bloomed, and another human head fell to the ground...

Every time a sentence was read, a person's head fell to the ground. When the imperial envoy reached the last step, the largest fireworks exploded in the night sky. The bright light illuminated the entire night, even penetrating all obstacles and shining on his face.

In his eyes, those dark eyes flashed with countless lights, and he also read out the last sentence at the same time——

"Those who are traitors to the country and collaborate with the enemy shall be killed!"

……

The last head fell and rolled to his feet.

When I turned back, blood was splattered all over the hall, and blood flowed into rivers. Several high-ranking officials from Yangzhou Prefecture, who had just been drinking and laughing with each other, had now turned into cold corpses.

When he finished the last sentence, the official who came to report was already trembling so much that he couldn't speak. He knelt on the ground and was trembling.

And I was dumbfounded.

Pei Yuanxiu has been listening calmly without speaking. Although his expression has not changed much, his face is obviously much paler than before, and his eyes have become darker.

After a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "Go on."

The official kowtowed repeatedly, but it didn't seem like he was kowtowing. He was just frightened, lying on the ground and trembling constantly. His voice was also trembling, and he said: "Master Lu always thought that this imperial envoy was just showing up.

He came here to make money, so although he asked the two guards to prepare some troops, they did not prepare them for the banquet. Instead, they were asked to wait under the tower, so that the imperial envoy could take advantage of him.

, the product of a lower official

Seniors were not allowed to attend the reception banquet of the Imperial Envoy. However, Master Lu saw that the official was cautious and asked him to prepare the dishes in the side hall. In fact, when the Imperial Envoy said that Mr. Lu had "been greedy a lot", the hall became quiet.

, those followers were already prepared, fearing that this was the signal for them to take action. After the imperial envoy finished reading the charges against each of the adults, those followers rushed out, and the lower official took the opportunity to escape."<

/p>

Pei Yuanxiu said calmly: "What happens after they kill several people in Lu Guangcheng?"

I also looked at the official a little nervously.
