Chapter 926 Rip off!
Hmph, this kid's tone is really serious, how dare he say such outrageous words!
The four words "live as long as the sky" can only be worthy of the current emperor, if it is heard by outsiders, he must be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor.

However, at any rate, it is a sixth-rank official in the court, and the official is neither big nor small, so he still has to give the necessary face.

Zhao Wanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled hypocritically: "Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Qi. I don't know why Mr. Qi came to visit?"

He thought he was grasping the handle, and his tone was much more casual.

Qi Jingyu frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "I have received a secret report that Yuanwai Zhao has collected all the villagers' fields in preparation for a mercenary rebellion. I am here to thoroughly investigate the case!"

When Zhao Wanqing heard this, he was so frightened that he pissed his ass, and quickly knelt down and shouted: "Master Qi, the villain is wronged!"

"Whether you have been wronged or not, you have to find out." Li Qingmu looked at him with a smile: "If you didn't intend to rebel, what are you doing with so many fields? Have you finished eating?"

"Uh... this? The villain just wants to earn more money, and has no intention of rebelling against him. Please be careful..." Zhao Wanqing knelt on the ground, looked up at the three of them, with a dog-legged expression on his face.

A sentence of intent to treason is enough to sentence him to the nine clans. Such a serious crime is no joke.

Obscure Moon glanced at the languid man, and persuaded: "Get up, the case will come to light."

Zhao Wanqing quickly thanked them, invited the three of them into the mansion, and sent someone to inform them.

"Come on, serve the best Biluochun!" Zhao Wanqing led the three of them into the front hall and asked the servants to prepare the banquet.

Zhao's Mansion is a mansion of five entrants, with pavilions, towers, pavilions, rockery and rivers in the courtyard. It is extremely luxurious, and there are hundreds of servants and servants alone.

During the trip, Qi Jingyu became more and more frightened as he looked at it. A mere local gentry has scooped up so much money from the people, how much did the local county magistrate get?How much did the officials of the various ranks above get?
Thinking of this, Qi Jingyu felt chills on his back.

The corruption of the Great Zhou Dynasty was already dying.

If you don't carry out drastic rectification, I'm afraid that within a few years, your dragon chair will be overturned.

Water can carry a boat and capsize it, Qi Jingyu didn't know the suffering of the people to such an extent until now!

He asked Zhao Papi with a gloomy face: "Officer Zhao, as far as I know, only the first-rank officials in the court are worthy to live in the courtyard. You said you want to rebel?"

Zhao Wanqing shivered in fright, with a bitter face, he explained with a smile: "Master Qi, I bought this house with money, not built it, I didn't realize how big this house is at the time..."

"It's easy to handle. I'll report this matter to the court and seal up your house?" Li Qingmu said with a smirk.

"...Ah? You can't do it. I bought this house for 2 taels of real money. My lord can't do it!" Zhao Wanqing was so frightened that he knelt down again, sweating profusely.

In fact, he was lying. It was true that he bought this mansion, but there were only two yards at that time. In order to show his grandeur, he privately found someone to expand it into a mansion with five yards, thinking that no one knew it.

Anyway, the ordinary people in the village don't know what it means to enter the courtyard five times, and the county magistrate has already paid for it, and they have been living in peace all these years.

Who would have thought that today it would be revealed in a single word.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if ordinary people build five-entry houses privately, they will be disrespectful to their superiors and respect the law, and they will be sent to the frontier and not allowed to return within ten years.

He hastily took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket, smiled and handed it to Li Qingmu.

Obscure Moon glanced sideways, and already guessed what this man would do next.

Sure enough, Li Qingmu counted with a smile, and stuffed it into his sleeve: "Mr. Zhao, who only has a mere thousand taels of silver, wants to be exempted from distribution to the frontier? You are too naive."

Qi Jingyu's expression was astonished, and he thought to himself, Uncle Emperor, why are you covering up this Zhao Papi for 1000 taels of silver?To openly accept bribes in front of me?Is it really suitable?

But Li Qingmu didn't care, and stretched out his right hand again, the expression on his face was obvious, this is not enough, you have to pay more!
Zhao Wanqing's face was ugly, and he took out another stack of banknotes from his bosom in pain. This time, the denomination was larger, one piece was 1000 taels, and two pieces were 500 taels. He felt that 3000 taels of silver should be enough.

Even if you bribe county magistrate Zhang, it doesn't take so much.

Li Qingmu lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at the face value of the bank note, put it in his sleeve calmly, and stretched out his hand again.

"What? Add more?" Zhao Wanqing was about to cry, 3000 taels of silver was enough to buy dozens of hectares of good farmland, this is to kill him!
Ozuki smiled happily, this man is earning extra money for the family, subsidizing the family.

"My lord, I don't know what rank you are in? What position is it?" Zhao Wanqing has already taken out all the bank notes on his body just now, and if he pays more money, he has to go to the warehouse to use real money.

The young man in front of him claimed to be the Ministry of Household Affairs, what about the slightly older one?It's impossible to keep giving money without even knowing the identity of the other party, right?

Li Qingmu put away his smiling face, and said displeasedly: "What's the matter, do you think I'm easy to get rid of, right? If I go to court to read a book for you, your whole family's head will fall off, do you believe me?"

"Uh... dare not dare, the villain doesn't mean that."

On the surface Zhao Wanqing said he didn't dare, but his eyes kept rolling.

It stands to reason that there is a limit to how much you can collect even if you are below the fourth rank, and you will not ask for it unreasonably. Why are the three masters in front of you so hard to serve? Isn't 3000 taels enough to send them off?

Could it be charlatans who came to take advantage of the fire?

After he had this idea, he felt more and more possible, so he said with a smile: "The little man has so much on him, I will tell the warehouse to prepare silver, and the two adults will wait for a while."

After turning around and leaving, his face immediately turned gloomy, and he told the butler Hu Er who came up to him: "Hurry up and call all the servants here, these three people may be charlatans, I will arrest them and report them to the authorities! "

"Okay sir, I'll go right now."

"Wait!" Zhao Wanqing suddenly thought of something, called to stop the butler who was about to leave, and added: "By the way, go and inform Zhang County Magistrate, and ask him to bring the yamen servant over to fetch someone!"

"Yes!"

Watching the butler leave in a hurry, Zhao Wanqing sneered again and again: "Hmph, the autumn wind hit me, Mr. Zhao, so don't ask me who Zhao Wanqing is. You three deserve to be blind!"

It's not that he hasn't seen a greedy official before, but it's the first time he has come to ask for money under the pretense of treason. What else can he be if he isn't a liar?
Moreover, the little lady among the three is really handsome.

After taking those two ignorant boys away for a while, it will be possible... Hehe!
Thinking of happy things, Zhao Wanqing's smile became wider and wider, and the corners of his mouth almost reached behind his ears.

In the front hall, Qi Jingyu saw that Zhao Yuanwai hadn't returned for a long time, so he felt vigilant, and asked, "Uncle Huang, you don't think this Zhao Papi is going to call someone?"

"It doesn't matter, with the means of his servants, come as much as you want!"

Li Qingmu didn't care about this, he took out the banknotes from his sleeve, and handed them all to Miyue: "Yue'er, you take these banknotes first, and buy some nice clothes for Rui'er later."

Qi Jingyu, "..."
