The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 708
"I could kill you right here."

"Feng Yueqing!" Du Liang suddenly got up: "They are all corrupt officials, why are you pretending to be clean and honest, and treat me as a soft persimmon? This is neither Taiyuan Mansion nor the capital, this is my three-acre land!"

After finishing speaking, Du Liang shouted to the door: "Come on!"

A few yamen servants came in outside the door, Du Liang's eyes were really bright, and he wanted to attack the imperial envoy.But Feng Yueqing chuckled, holding a teacup in his hand: "Yes, I can't imagine that over the years, your skills have not grown, but your courage has increased. Even I will move, but let me remind you, once your people are against me , you will be beyond redemption."

"Who are you scaring? At worst, we'll die together. I'll take the lead first!"

Then, a few more people came in from outside the door. They were all guards brought by Feng Yueqing. They were members of Tiance's guards, and they all had high martial arts skills.Immediately, the knives of these yamen servants were taken down without any effort.

"How? Do you want to continue?"

Beads of sweat were all over Du Liang's forehead: "Brother Feng, you are forcing me to die."

"It's you who is forcing yourself! ——I tell you, the current emperor's embezzlement is a one-off check. If it's your turn, I'm afraid ten of your heads are not enough to chop off. I'm here to save you. But what about you?" ? Still don’t know.”

"You? Help me?"

At this time, a guard came in: "My lord, we checked the warehouse, and the silver is less than 200 million taels. In addition, Du Liang's family still has 50 taels of silver, which are all official silver."

Du Liang jumped up against the case: "Feng Yueqing, I am also an official of the frontier after all, what right do you have to search my house! No one can do this to me except the emperor!"

Feng Yueqing pouted at the guard, the guard opened the bag, took out the imperial decree, and read it: "I have specially given Feng Yueqing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the power of life and death to patrol hunting on behalf of the heavens. "

Obviously, even the head can be beheaded, not to mention a mere search, even ransacking the house is a matter of one sentence.

Du Liang closed his eyes tightly and sat slumped on the ground.

Feng Yueqing asked everyone else to go down first, and said to him alone: ​​"Du Liang, we are in the same year, and I know you best. You have been promoted too fast, you have no backing in the court, and you have offended many high-ranking officials. Why? Maybe I just sat in this position. There must be a reason for it, and you can tell me exactly."

Du Liang smiled sadly: "I can't say that."

"why?"

"Don't tell me, at most I ransacked my family and asked to kill, but if I tell, my family's life will be lost." Du Liang smiled calmly now: "Brother Feng, do you think I am the only one who is greedy in the court? I'm not greedy, I only spent 400 taels of the 3 million taels of silver."

The mystery revealed in the words is not ordinary.

Feng Yueqing was very interested in listening: "I know that you can tell the truth, and I will help you. The money I earned from opening a gold mine is not only 400 million taels, but also more than 4000 million taels. The emperor didn't kill me, but even reused it. , What does this mean? This is not the emperor's generosity, but that he knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Isn't this the person you and I should serve? Brother Du, where did this batch of money go, and how did your governor come about? of."

When he was in the palace, Feng Yueqing checked the files. Regarding Du Liang's promotion to the governor of Shaanxi, it is strange to blame here. The official who lifted his shoes back then did not know who it was, and the files of that issue also disappeared, like It was taken away, perhaps burned.

Du Liang didn't want to say it, he took out a bottle of poison from his body, and before Feng Yueqing could react, he drank it abruptly.This poison seals the throat when it sees blood, and for a person without martial arts, it can kill him in a few seconds.

Wanting to save someone, but it was too late, Feng Yueqing sighed softly: "Brother Du, brother Du, why are you bothering?"

The case was not easy to handle, but Feng Yueqing became more suspicious of this matter, so he had to go back to Beijing and discuss it with Tian Haofeng, after all, Mr. Tian is very smart.

Although it was useless, he also brought back 200 million taels of silver. Feng Yueqing sold the remaining 10 taels to Du Liang's family. He felt that he forced his old friend to death.

Tian Haofeng was talking with people in the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, when he saw Feng Yueqing coming over: "Hey! It's Mr. Feng, please sit down quickly. Come—serve tea."

After pouring a cup of tea, Tian Haofeng asked the others to go down: "What? Master Feng just came back to Beijing and came to see me?"

"I haven't seen the emperor yet."

"Tsk, aren't you hurting me? The emperor is with me. You should go see the emperor first." Tian Haofeng saw that his expression was not good: "Are you...are you in any trouble? I heard that you are going to check on the governor of Shaanxi. Why didn't things work out?"

Feng Yueqing took out the bank note: "This is 200 million taels of silver."

After seeing the bank note, Tian Haofeng was very puzzled: "It's not over. The 200 million taels of silver have been recovered. Do you still want to recover the full 400 million taels? How is it possible? Du Liang didn't spend money , you can’t squeeze the people.”

"he died."

"Dead? Did you kill it?"

Feng Yueqing smiled wryly: "Do you think it's possible? They were born from the same roots, so why bother each other? A brother of the same year, I will kill him? He committed suicide."

Tian Haofeng put down the bank note: "That's not right. Although I have never met Du Liang, but he only wants to climb up. How can such a person want to die? Don't hesitate. Brother Feng, this person...wouldn't have been executed by you without permission?"

"Master Tian thinks highly of me." Feng Yueqing chatted with him about the details for half an hour.

There is another case behind the case. If it is purely for money, the matter will be easy to handle. The relationship is that the corrupt officials would rather die than drag out more things, so as to save the trouble of dog biting dog.Then, behind this incident, there must be a terrible secret hidden.

Feng Yueqing said: "I let Yidianhong stay. He knows martial arts, so it's not easy to be discovered. I'm waiting for his letter, but there is no result. I don't want to see the emperor. Even if I do, I have nothing to say. So, I just came to discuss with you, you have a lot of ideas, help me think about the possibility of this matter."

Tian Haofeng groped his beard: "The possibility of the matter, tsk tsk, it's complicated. We don't know about the appointment of those officials a few years ago. Didn't the files also be destroyed? It is likely that someone wanted to seize the throne at the beginning, so Gathering money is the most likely possibility. But here comes the problem. If it happened back then, then time has passed. After so long, who else can make Du Liang so afraid. Looking at the entire court, there is no one who is not convinced by the emperor. Now that Emperor Wen has become King Wen, he stays in the palace all day, never leaving home, and the other princes have been confined in the capital all the time, and they have no way of contacting the outside world."

"That's right. Du Liang is the governor. Appointing a governor must at least be done by a minister of military affairs, and it must go through the official office."

Tian Haofeng nodded: "After what you said, I really want to find out what happened in the past. My former two ministers of the official department are all suspects. You allow me two days. I will think about it carefully and hope that their files will be returned. exist."
