One hundred and fifty-six chapters iron face blue sky
Many officials immediately burst into laughter, thinking that this guy is slapping His Majesty the Emperor in the face?
One hundred taels, you can say it out loud, it’s too priceless.
However, the ministers who laughed out loud were shocked to find that they immediately met hundreds of pairs of knife-like eyes.
This actually includes His Majesty the Emperor himself!
Wu Lie, the Minister of Justice, was an extremely rare official in the court of the Yu Tang Empire who was strong and pedantic.
Since he became an official, whether he was the first seventh-rank magistrate or the current second-rank rank official, he never accepted any funding or any interaction!
Even if someone invites him to have a meal or a tea, he never agrees!
This person's management of himself and his family is even more rigorous to the point where he is almost unreasonable.
"Your Majesty grants me an official position and a salary, which is the reward I deserve for serving the court! But other benefits are not something I deserve! The so-called short-lived people and soft-hearted people. I, Wu Lie, cannot be sorry for the official position I hold, cannot be sorry for Your Majesty's trust, and even more so, cannot be sorry for the eyes of the people!"
"Especially, I am now the head of the Ministry of Justice, in charge of the world's criminal laws! I should be strict with myself and examine myself three times!"
"No frivolous move can happen to me!"
"In my eyes, there is no extra-legal connotation, the law is the law! A prince breaks the law and must also commit the same crime as the common people!"
After Lord Wu took office, the Yu Tang Empire has indeed been much less cases over the years, and the officials have been dealt with invisible things.
No one dares to be as open and unscrupulous as before.
It can be said that in the current style and laws of the Jade Tang Empire, this Lord Wu is a person who turns the tide and implements it together!
Countless corrupt officials, even if they are not found by him, will feel guilty as long as they see him, they will feel like they want to tremble and confess...
But it was also this Lord Wu who encountered many tragic events one after another.
First of all, his beloved wife, who was less than 30 years old. When Wu Lie was the Minister of Justice, his legs were cut off due to revenge. Afterwards, it was found that in addition to his disabled legs, he was also highly poisoned and paralyzed all over, just like a living dead person.
His son was also retaliated for many days and was imprisoned for many days. Although he survived by chance, he was not only weak and sick, but also blinded and blind. He has not improved at all to this day, but he only used drugs to maintain his life.
The drugs that support his wife and son's lives are expensive and expensive goods.
This has led to the life of Lord Wu that has been extremely difficult over the years. People with kindness can't stand it. They secretly sent a bag of silver in the middle of the night and put it in the yard of the house.
But as long as he discovers it, he will throw it out without saying a word!
No matter whether your move is kind or intentional gift, in the heart of this Lord Wu, I don’t want the money I shouldn’t have!
Even if I die of poverty and starvation and suffering, I don’t want it!
In fact, at Lord Wu's home, Lord Yun Yang, Lord Yun Zun, had sent people to send silver and gold many times, but even though he clearly told him that it was given by Lord Wu, Lord Wu still shook his head as if he was rattled, but he just didn't accept it.
Even sometimes, sometimes you don’t want the extra rewards from His Majesty!
I have done my job well, and Your Majesty will give me a reward. I want it, that is the reward I deserve, and I deserve it.
But, I feel that I didn’t do it well, so Your Majesty gave me a reward, why should I accept it? Why did you give me a reward? Isn’t this an unknown reward? Isn’t it? Isn’t it?
Sometimes His Majesty the Emperor was even so angry that his minister refused to receive his reward.
Such an official can now take out a hundred taels, which is much beyond his limit!
"This, Wu Aiqing." His Majesty the Emperor had no reaction to the 100,000 and 200,000 donated by other officials. However, when he saw Wu Lie take out the 100 taels, he suddenly felt a twitching and pain in his heart.
"Forget the money you pledged. Take the money back and take good care of your life." His Majesty the Emperor said with a sigh.
"This pledge was done by all the ministers, but the weak ministers are not exceptions, nor should they be exceptions. I still have 17, 2, 3, 5 cents at home, which is enough for this month's life." Wu Liegang showed a smile on his iron-colored face.
"But... the side of my dear wife and children still need to spend money. This pledge is voluntary, and helping others must be done within your ability." His Majesty the Emperor comforted him gently: "Take it back."
Wu Lie said seriously: "Your Majesty, I know that the 100 taels of silver that I have pledged to have is just a drop in the bucket and is no longer comparable to others. However, I am a member of the Yu Tang Empire after all. In the end, I am a member of the Yu Tang Empire. In the case of difficulties, I believe that I have the responsibility and obligation to donate funds. Furthermore, this money is my own money. I will take it if I want to take it, and if I don't want it, I won't take it."
This sentence is so cute.
To put it simply, it means: I will spend whatever I want, and I can do whatever I want. What can I do with you... Even if you are the emperor, do you still care about my salary?!
His Majesty the Emperor almost turned his back by this sentence.
Marshal Qiu and Leng Daoyin laughed out loud at the same time. The two old guys laughed and pointed at Wu Lie: "Is this his donkey?"
Wu Lie replied hard: "You are donkeys! Your whole family is donkeys!"
puff……
His Majesty the Emperor turned his anger and laughed, and even more laughed.
Apart from Wu Lie, the one who dares to swear in front of the military, is really not the second person to think about it!
This is something that even His Majesty dares not say!
But Wu Lie dares!
And he said it with confidence, awesomeness, openness and integrity!
In his own words, I am worthy of the sky, the earth, the king, and the people!
No matter how powerful you are or how powerful your force is, I am afraid of you?!
The civil and military ministers in the court couldn't help laughing as they looked at the two old marshals' expressions that they could not have had any trouble after eating shit.
These two old hooligans have always been rampant in the court by relying on their rude means. Today, they finally saw that they were also criticized and couldn't speak. It was so satisfying!
"I am willing to donate another 500,000 silver!"
A white-haired old minister stood up and said, "Even if he sells his bad luck, he will donate. Just to see these two old guys being scolded and defeated, I feel happy and donated the money!"
The Prime Minister Du Ruobing stood up.
The old man smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum. Poor me has been angry with these two old hooligans all his life. I thought I had been buried in the ground and never had a chance to take revenge. Today, someone actually helped me get angry. How could I not make up for the show ticket?
"It's a pity that I only have 500,000 coffin book; otherwise, it would be worth it even if I make up for one million!"
The old prime minister looked emotional and relieved.
His Majesty the Emperor lowered his head and covered his forehead with his hands.
It can be seen that the old prime minister is really a money that he has no regrets, otherwise he would never be able to say this...
In a fundraising campaign, His Majesty the Emperor collected cash and directly plundered almost 19 million silver!
It was as if a large sum of silver fell from the sky to the account. His Majesty the Emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly he became brave and a thought lingered in his heart: "There is a problem with the wealth of these bastards... Especially a few of them, if they rely only on their salary, they will not be able to afford so much money without eating or drinking in another hundred years... and I have never heard of any property in the family. Where did the money they pledged to come from?"
His Majesty the Emperor thought in his heart, and his eyes immediately looked at several of them.
Finally, the fundraising led by His Majesty the Emperor himself was relieved, and then they all began to feel pain...
"In the next step, I and the Qing family will bring out some things, and then go to the auction hall outside to send someone to auction... I believe I can get some money... and the charity funds raised today are probably enough."
His Majesty the Emperor was still not satisfied and made another move.
"Ahem..."
All the civil and military officials in the court started coughing together.
Your Majesty, you are so jealous of money...
...
The court meeting ends.
Wu Lie walked out of the palace gate and looked up but saw the old Marshal Qiu Jianhan blocking him in front.
"What are you doing?" Wu Lie looked at Qiu Jianhan vigilantly.
Marshal Qiu is the leader of the three major gangsters of the Jade Tang Empire. He has always been famous for being a villain. Wu Lie dared to retort and scold the Marshal against him. However, it is not surprising that the Marshal Qiu settled the score and beat someone up!
The old marshal snorted, threw a bag of silver over, and said, "This is the two thousand taels of silver I lent to you. Remember to return it to me if I have money in the future! This is what I lent to you, not for you in vain!"
Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
Wu Lie held the bag of silver and his throat squirmed for a while. He felt a heat in his heart and could not speak.
At this moment, he couldn't help but remember last night-
At the third update last night, Wu Lie cleaned his wife and took medicine, but heard a painful moan from his son. However, when his son got up at night, he was blind and tripped under his feet. He was also weak and unable to maintain balance. He fell heavily to the ground. He quickly took medicine for his son and helped him to bed. Then, when he was so tired that he was about to fall asleep, someone suddenly floated in like a cloud.
"Mr. Wu."
"Who?" Wu Lie was very calm at that time.
"I am acquaintance with Lord Wu." The man came in black and masked, but his voice was very friendly: "Lord Wu must have heard of me. I am the Nine Lord Eighth and Feng Zun."
As he said that, he reached out and the wind blew in the closed room with the windows and doors.
The wind roared and stirred up gentleness, and it rolled up the things placed in the room and hung them in the air, but gently put them down. From beginning to end, the man in black did not move his hands and feet except the wave at the beginning.
"Is it true that Lord Feng Zun is in front of you?"
Wu Lie was excited: "You..."
