My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 116: The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue is beaten
Just as Emperor Changping was about to return to Daming Palace, a young eunuch came running out of breath.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... It's not good. Commander Jia and his party were surrounded by a group of officials from the Ministry of Revenue led by Geng Shangshu outside the Meridian Gate. They are about to... start a fight!"

"What... Jia Yu is surrounded by people? What is going on?" Emperor Changping's face turned dark immediately after hearing this, "Tell me... what is going on?"

"It's... it's because... ahem..." The little eunuch ran too fast and his throat was stuck with phlegm, making him speechless.

Dai Quan was so angry at the back that he rushed up and kicked him immediately: "You are a fucking dead person. Tell me what is going on?"

"Yes... it's because Mr. Jia escorted hundreds of carts into the palace this time and was about to go to the inner transport warehouse. Who knew that they were stopped by Geng Shangshu and his men as soon as they arrived at the Meridian Gate!"

"Hey...it's broken!"

Emperor Changping's face suddenly changed when he heard this. How could he forget the properties of Jia Yu's lucky rat? He must have raided those gang lairs this time, and after getting good things, he habitually transported them to the inner treasury. As a result, Geng Benzheng The old boy and his people blocked him.

Without thinking, he raised his leg and kicked Dai Quan on the butt, "You little slave, what are you still doing in a daze...Hurry up and drive through the Meridian Gate!"

"Yes...yes..." Dai Quan also broke out in sweat, and shouted in a sharp voice to the eunuch who was following him: "You are all dead... Why don't you hurry up and get rid of His Majesty's dragon?" come over!"

A group of people carried Emperor Changping towards the Meridian Gate in a panic...

At the same time, outside the Meridian Gate

Jia Yu and his party were surrounded by a group of officials. If you look closely, you will find that most of the most excited officials seem to be from the Ministry of Revenue.

The old man with a rosy complexion, a short and fat figure, and a golden pheasant embroidered on his chest was none other than Geng Benzheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who usually looked like he was congratulating people for getting rich, opened his hands in excitement and blocked the first cart and said sternly.

"I would like to say it again. Today, no one is allowed to step into the Meridian Gate without my permission. If anyone wants to enter, let them step over my body!"

Jia Yu also stood in front of Geng Benzheng, holding the handle of the knife with her right hand, and said coldly: "Master Geng, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you should know that the king's law is ruthless.

These goods are all to be transported into the palace treasury. As the Minister of Household Affairs, you gathered a crowd to cause trouble. Do you know what crime you should be punished for? "

"Bah... don't do this. When I became an official, you were still wearing crotchless pants, peeing and playing in the mud.

Who doesn't know that the carts behind you are all gold and silver obtained from those gangs who ransacked their homes last night. According to the rules, this money was originally going to be paid into the national treasury.

But you have repeatedly transported these silver coins into the palace. Last time, I spared you for the sake of Your Majesty. But you have to know that everything can be done one way or the other. This time I will not let you go no matter what. .

Someone is coming..."

"exist!"

A group of household officials behind him agreed in unison.

"Let me take all these carts to the Treasury of the Ministry of Finance!"

"Here!"

"I see who of you dares!"

Jia Yu shouted loudly, jumped onto the cart, stared at everyone from a high position, and exerted a little force with his right thumb.

With a clear sound of metal friction, the oxtail knife at the waist was instantly unsheathed, and a bright cold light made many people panic.

"This is royal silver. Anyone who dares to intercept it is rebelling. I have the right to kill them on the spot!"

Seeing Jia Yu with murderous intent on his face, the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who were about to swarm forward froze as if they had been tapped on their acupuncture points.

Money is important, but it's not worth it if you lose your life for it.What Jia Yu didn't expect was that he could scare other officials, but he couldn't make Geng Benzheng take a step back.

Not only did the old man not retreat, but he stepped forward and pointed at his neck with a sneer.

"Come on... cut me here. If you dare to chop off my head, I will praise you as a good man!"

"Do you really think I dare not?"

"Of course you don't dare." A proud smile appeared on Geng Benzheng's face, and he was sure that Jia Yu did not dare to touch him.

What a joke, there are hundreds of court officials standing here now. Who dares to risk the disapproval of the world and kill a dignified second-rank household minister on the spot.

Jia Yu's hand tightened on the handle of the knife.

He was not crazy, and of course he did not dare to kill a minister of household affairs on the spot in public.

However, just because he didn't dare to kill didn't mean he didn't dare to do anything else.

He jumped out of the cart, casually took off his waist knife, threw it to Feng Ziying behind him, and then strode up to Geng Benzheng.

Geng Benzheng was even more proud after seeing Jia Yu take off the weapon from her waist.

Being able to allow the dignified commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division to unload his weapons in front of hundreds of officials, such a feat undoubtedly brought a lot of face to his civil servant group, and would definitely greatly increase his reputation. In this way, he would be able to join the cabinet. The possibilities have increased.

Feeling proud, he pointed at Jia Yu with his index finger and shouted: "Jia Yu... the sage said, it's not too late to correct your mistakes when you realize them. I think you are young and can take the initiative to give up your weapons. If you can be obedient If you send the silver to the Ministry of Accounts, I won’t pursue any further investigation... Hey..."

"Snapped……"

There was a muffled sound followed by a scream, his index finger was held by a big hand on the spot, and a stern face appeared in front of him.

As the old saying goes, when one finger is almost broken when ten fingers are connected to the heart, few people can bear the pain.

Geng Benzheng was in severe pain so much that his face was deformed. He let out a shrill scream, his legs went weak, and he knelt down with a pop.

To others, it looked like Geng Benzeng was kneeling to Jia Yu.

"Ah... let go... let go... it's about to break... come and save me... ah..."

This scene happened so suddenly that the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were all stunned. It was not until Geng Benzheng's cry for help came out that they rushed towards Jia Yu in a hurry.

"The bold maniac...hurry up to Master Geng!"

"Where are the guards... Where are the guards... Take down this villain quickly!"

When a group of officials from the Ministry of Revenue saw that their boss had been beaten, it was not a big deal, so two young officials immediately rushed towards Jia Yu.

Jia Yu just smiled contemptuously, her upper body motionless, and kicked her right foot twice in quick succession. With two screams, the two officials were kicked several meters away on the spot.

"Jia Yu...what are you doing?"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded not far away.

Jia Yu turned around to look, quickly let go of her hand, and bowed to the visitor.

"The humble minister Jia Yu pays homage to your majesty, long live my emperor!"

Not only him, but the surrounding officials also made the same move.
