Chapter 733

Chen Ping sneered, "Prince, the opening for selling official positions and titles cannot be opened. At most, you can open one for an official position where you can wear some flashy clothes, which is harmless, but privileges and power cannot be released!"

"When it comes to power, no matter how small, there are no small matters!"

"You must know that policies are decided by the high officials in the temple, but implementation depends on the small officials and clerks below!"

"'Wool comes from the sheep'; this selling of official positions and titles is truly harboring evil intentions, and the Green Seedling Law also likely has pits we don't know about!"

"The Living Yama is harder to deal with than I imagined!"

Chen Ping muttered to himself.

Instantly, Yan Wushuang's face turned ugly.

He was not a stupid person; with Chen Ping's guidance, he instantly realized it.

If they can spend ten thousand taels to buy an official position, they can rake in twenty thousand, or even one hundred thousand taels!

Once power is released, the commoners will suffer!

"Bang!"

Yan Wushuang slapped the table, his face full of anger.

Damn it, he had been set up right in his face, and he hadn't even guarded against it.

He even spent a large amount of silver to buy a huge pit.

Yang Wei was so angry that he slapped himself, his face turning red.

"The Living Yama is so vicious; he took the money and didn't handle the affair, but secretly dug a pit. It's a pity I even said he was a good person!"

Yuan Xuanlin also said luckily, "Fortunately, there is the Sir; otherwise, we would have fallen into the game of the Heavenly Pit without even knowing it."

Yan Wushuang also bowed to Chen Ping again, "Thank you, Sir, for taking action."

"But why have I never heard of a person with such strategy as you? Otherwise, with your help, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed, being played around by that Living Yama?"

"Everything is fate. If it weren't for my mother asking me to go down the mountain for a stroll, I wouldn't have planned to come out of the mountains at all. Who knew that as soon as I came down, I would hear the bad news."

"My junior brother is gone."

Yan Wushuang widened his eyes, somewhat shocked, "Mr. Chen, your junior brother is gone?"

"He died at the hands of the Living Yama."

"He was a strategist for the Rong Prince's Mansion, assisting the Rong Prince in creating a foundation for all ages, but you should know the fate of the Rong Prince."

"When the Living Yama takes action, how many people can escape? I came to Changan to search for my junior brother, but there has been no news; he must have been murdered."

"Mr. Chen, please accept my condolences." Yan Wushuang said in a low voice.

After the Rong Prince's 'Nine-Turn Intestine', he entered the palace without any defense and was murdered by the Empress.

He had also heard of this matter.

Chen Ping looked sighing, "Thinking back, my junior brother and I commanded our fellow disciples to kill wildly; he was responsible for the 'ga-ga', and I was responsible for the 'wild killing'. I didn't expect that after such a short time, my junior brother is gone."

"Although my junior brother was stupid, his lifespan should have been like a turtle's."

"The Living Yama took action against my junior brother. Regardless of right or wrong, I, as his senior brother, must avenge him. It's impossible to avenge him in Great Qian, so I can only join another country."

Yan Wushuang asked curiously, "Why choose me instead of Great Chu?"

"Great Chu has suffered great losses after this battle. Although the hatred is great, those stupid pigs who can even kill the wrong person during an assassination are really not worth joining."

"Prince, you are a very good choice!"

Although Yan Wushuang felt a bit strange, he still said solemnly, "I will definitely not let down your joining!"

"Prince, let me ask one more question: am I really that ugly?"

"Is it not at all like a top poisonous scholar?"

Yan Wushuang looked at Chen Ping seriously. Chen Ping even smoothed his hair to let Yan Wushuang see more clearly.

Dark skin, extremely long hair, fat all over, even the fingernails were full of black mud.

This image truly subverted his understanding of a poisonous scholar.

"Sir, you look quite handsome; one can tell at a glance that you are a top strategist." Yan Wushuang straightened his body and said with seriousness.

"Really? Prince, don't lie to me; I hate deception the most." Chen Ping's emotions fluctuated.

"Okay, Sir, you are just not obviously handsome, but unusually ugly."

"Prince, originally I had a poisonous scheme of virtue to deal with Great Qian, but since we are not on the same path, we cannot work together. We will meet again in the future!"

"..."

At the same time.

Imperial Palace.

Imperial Study.

Wang Zhong and Yan Zheng looked excited and said with great vigor, "Your Majesty, your old subject wants to impeach the Minister of Revenue, Gao Yang, for knowingly breaking the law and accepting bribes!"

"I implore Your Majesty to punish him severely!"

The words of the two instantly made Wu Zhao raise her eyes and look at Wang Zhong and Yan Zheng.

"Do Old General Wang and Censor Yan have evidence?"

Wu Zhao rubbed her eyebrows, somewhat helpless.

But she had expected this; that scene was just the first wave of impeachment.

Wang Zhong straightened his body, thought of Mr. Chen's wonderful strategy, and nodded decisively, "Your subject has evidence!"

"Summon the Minister of Revenue, Gao Yang!"

Wu Zhao waved her hand, and the eunuch went down quickly.

What Gao Yang greedily took, he should naturally solve himself.

At this very moment, Gao Yang had just sent off Li Long and was standing in the middle of his own treasury.

He raised his head slightly, looking shocked.

Gao Tianlong, Gao Feng, and Gao Changwen stood behind Gao Yang, also raising their heads and looking at everything in front of them.

The four generations of the family all had shocked expressions on their faces.

"A capping ceremony, this much? Even if it were my father's fifty years of salary, it wouldn't be this much, right?"

Gao Feng looked at Gao Yang in disbelief and spoke.

"My good grandson!"

Suddenly, Gao Tianlong looked at Gao Yang and spoke.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?"

Gao Tianlong said, "I think that at my age, I should also celebrate my birthday after a while."

Gao Changwen said, "Grandfather, Father, Brother, actually I also have a secret."

The three: "???"

"Actually, I have already reached adulthood, so can this capping ceremony be held in advance?"

Gao Changwen looked serious.

At this time, the eunuch's voice suddenly rang out.

"His Majesty has an edict: summon the Minister of Revenue, Gao Yang, to enter the palace for an audience!"

Instantly, several people looked at Gao Yang.

"Yang'er, this hurdle is not easy to pass!"

Gao Yang straightened his body, looking calm, "Grandfather, don't panic. Sun Er has always had principles. Corrupt officials have nothing to do with me; it's just a small matter!"

"..."
