Luan's return today

Chapter 43 Three fires when the new official took office

Chapter 43

Xu Ke's face was reddened by Chu Yao again and again, and he was already annoyed in his heart, but thinking of the problem with this batch of food, he had no choice but to continue to lie low.

"Master Chu, take a step to speak!"

After speaking, he pulled Chu Yao aside, avoided everyone's eyes, and secretly stuffed a large bag of silver into Chu Yao's hand.

"It's still early, Mr. Chu can still catch up with Huixiang Tower's breakfast when he goes back at this time, that's a must in Beijing!"

Chu Yao shook the bulging money bag in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself that there might be a hundred and eighty taels in it!
"My Jin Yiwei walked around once, that's all, it's not enough to ask the brothers to rub a meal."

Tsui Hark was overjoyed, it seemed that there was no one who was not greedy, so he quickly answered the question.

"Master Chu, don't worry, any consumption this time can be recorded on the head of the lower official."

Chu Yao squinted at Xu Ke, "Master Xu, bribing an official of the imperial court is an extra crime!"

"What did Master Chu say? It's because he is sympathetic to the hard work of checking the food, respect, respect!"

Xu Ke hurriedly corrected him, and when he saw that Chu Yao had collected the money, he felt relieved, and before he could be happy, he heard him raise his voice.

"Jin Yiwei obeys orders, unload the ship, and check the grain!"

Xu Ke was startled, and stared at Chu Yao in a blink of an eye, "Chu Yao, you..."

"Master Xu!" Chu Yao interrupted him, "Bribing the court officials is a serious crime of exile, you should worry about yourself!"

Then he ignored Tsui Hark and turned his head back.

Xu Ke's face was filled with embarrassment, he didn't expect that Chu Yao would not give him any face, so he straightened his body, no longer bent over, and said loudly.

"Stop!" He turned his head and strode towards Chu Yao, glaring at him, "Master Chu, where is the search warrant? If there is no search warrant, your lord is not qualified to search for this batch of food."

Chu Yao confronted him two by two, and there seemed to be an electric current in his eyes. Between the lightning and flint, Chu Yao said firmly in a deep voice, "What if I insist on investigating?"

Xu Ke didn't speak, but just snorted coldly, and everyone behind him drew their swords in unison, facing Chu Yao.

see.

Jin Yiwei was naturally unconvinced, they had never received such contempt before.

So before Chu Yao could speak, all the members took a step forward and stood in front of Chu Yao, holding knives and chests.

This is self-evident.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out.

Discussions among the people were also buzzing, and they felt that this matter was abnormal. Those who praised Tsui Hark yesterday all kept silent today and looked at him scrutinizingly.
Suddenly a horseshoe sounded, from far to near, the slender and sharp sound rang three times in succession.

"The decree has arrived!"

Chu Yao sneered in his heart, and finally came.

Looking at Tsui Hark as if looking at a cold dead person, he turned his head and knelt down towards the edict held high by Eunuch Li.

When Eunuch Li saw that everyone was ready to receive the decree, he opened the imperial decree in front of the people and read it out.

The content is actually very simple, it just agrees with Chu Yao to check the food.

After hearing this, Chu Yao replied loudly, "I accept the order and thank the emperor for his kindness."

Instead, he saw Xu Hark's face turn from blue to white from the gap, trembling all over.

But he will not feel any compassion at all. If he is an official who is unkind, unvirtuous, and immoral, he should be punished as he should.

Chu Yao stood up, faced Xu Ke, and waved, and two Jin Yiwei 'invited' Xu Ke aside.

"check!"

Jin Yiwei unloaded the grain from the boat himself, and opened every bag of grain in it.

Chu Yao patrolled all the way, and every cloth bag was full of grain.

Tsui Hark had expected this situation.

Last night, I put the five ginseng fake gravel separately into all the cloth bags, and the top was covered with real grain.

And leave a few bags full of real grain in case someone makes a surprise inspection.

Seeing that Chu Yao got nothing, he laughed loudly, "Lord Chu, the new official took office three times, and it must have burned to my own door!"

Seeing this, the people pointed at Chu Yao.

But Chu Yao was not in a hurry, the expression on his face did not change at all, he stopped and looked back at Xu Ke, with a sneer in his eyes, "Really?"

As soon as the words fell, Chu Yao immediately drew his sword, raised it high, and slashed down at one of the cloth bags.

wow——

The cloth bag had been split in half, and the grain and gravel inside were scattered on the ground.

When the people saw it, they were shocked. They didn't expect that Tsui Hark, who was superficial and praised in Beijing, would do such a thing.

Then there was a burst of sighs from the crowd, and they spat fiercely in Tsui Hark's direction.

Xu Hark's laughter stopped abruptly, he didn't expect Chu Yao to do this, and his face became gloomy, knowing that he couldn't deny it.

Fortunately, his own food has already been replaced with real food, as long as he insists that he doesn't know about it.

"Master Xu, what else can you say?" Chu Yao smiled coldly, "Come here, take it away, transport the grain back to the household department, and send people to guard it, waiting for the decision of the Holy One."

When Jin Yiwei heard this, he clapped his hands in unison and answered yes, then moved his hands side by side.

Just at this moment, three men in black who were tightly wrapped up and down, with only a pair of pitch-black eyes leaking out, broke through the water.

The slumped look on Tsui Hark's face was wiped away, replaced by joy, and he secretly said: Master Hou has come to save him.

But in less than half a moment, Xu Hark saw the man in black coming straight towards him, his heart was shocked, he was so frightened that he froze, and tried to dodge again and again.

Tsui Hark didn't expect Shen Zhong to be so ruthless, seeing that he was useless, he planned to kill him to silence him, so why would he sacrifice his life for Shen Zhong.

Afterwards, he said loudly to Chu Yao, "Lord Chu, save me, and I will tell you who is behind the scenes!"

Hearing this, the man in black moved more quickly and fiercely, making moves to the point of death.

Seeing Xu Ke let go, Chu Yao immediately made a light effort, made a sharp turn in the air, and neatly blocked Xu Ke's body.

Immediately drew out the saber, slashed the saber forward with luck, turned around and blocked it, and completely unloaded the offensive of several people.

"Master Xu, are you serious?"

"Naturally."

Seeing that Chu Yao was able to force the man in black back with just these two tricks, Xu Ke was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

Chu Yao smiled slightly, tightened his hand holding the knife, moved the blade forward, and looked coldly at the three men in black in front of him.

With a move of his feet, he was the first to rise forward, extremely agile.

Chu Yao's castration was extremely fast, and he jumped in front of a man in black with a flash of his body. Before he could react, he chopped off the head of a man in black.

The other two came to their senses, forming a pincer attack, and headed towards Chu Yao.

However, Chu Yao turned the blade, leaned back, supported the ground with his hands, and kicked their wrists with both feet, bang——, the man in black couldn't help falling to the ground and let out bursts of mournful cries.

Chu Yao made a false move and turned over to stand up. It took only a moment for a dazzling white light to cut through the throat of the man in black, and bright red blood splashed.

The two men in black felt their throats go cold, and a salty, fishy liquid gushed into their mouths, and then fell to the ground.

There were still a few drops of blood hanging on Chu Yao's knife, which went down the blade and fell to the ground, mixing with the soil.

call out--

A cold arrow came through the air.
