Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 696 The Last Gift

"Bang!" The door of the deputy director of the General Administration of Transport's office was kicked to pieces by Mo Xuexin, and Ji Wuli inside jumped up like a spring. Seeing that it was Mo Xuexin, his face turned pale and he said sternly: "Mo Xuexin! This is an important government office of the imperial court, not a place for your Jianghu sect to run wild. Could it be that you want to create..."

"Huh?" Xue Mu poked his head out from behind Mo Xuexin: "King Yi, what are you talking about? I didn't hear clearly."

When talking about me, Xue Mu felt a little pain in his balls. He might as well have called me this lord before. This man sounded like the one he called me when he and Xia Houdi were joking... But he said it himself, and it made his balls ache. There was no smile in other people's ears. Ji Wuli's face turned even paler and his teeth began to chatter: "Xue...Xue Mu..."

Mo Xuexin slapped her palm so hard that Ji Wuli lost three of his teeth: "Where is the balance of my Yunzhou track laying payment? Spit it out to me!"

The corridor was crowded with people on both sides, and they all looked at each other hesitantly. The original Transportation Bureau is now a powerful bureaucracy. It is not only one of the direct descendants of the current Queen, but also a thing initiated by the now powerful Lord Lu Ding. It has a huge internal organization and has its own military department. Everyone is the same. Very superior.

If Mo Xuexin was causing trouble alone, there might be some people who were not afraid of death who wanted to stop her. But when Mo Xuexin was followed by Xue Mu, everyone was really scared, including Ji Wuli's cronies. Move.

Yesterday I heard that the King of Tang was deprived of his skills and imprisoned by Xue Mu just for a verbal conflict. The Queen did not say a word about this, but told others not to provoke...

Li Yingqing was also at the Transportation Bureau today. Hearing that someone broke into the office and hurt someone, he hurried over to take a look. When he saw Xue Mu standing there, he immediately turned around and started to disperse the crowd of onlookers: "Is there nothing to do? What’s there to see? Go to work!”

Over there, Ji Wuli held his swollen face like a pig's head and said angrily: "The whole world is setting up troubles recently, how can we have so much extra money!"

Mo Xuexin sneered and said: "Stop being perfunctory like this. This was approved a few months ago. We are not competing with others just now."

Li Yingqing immediately understood what was going on. He had only been in charge for a few days and had not had time to ask about the previous appropriations. But since he is the head of a sect and has been around the court for a long time, there are many tricksters who are even more knowledgeable than Mo Xuexin. Just hearing this, he knew that Ji Wuli must have had some influence on this amount of money, and his reaction was the same as Xue Mu's before. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "King Yi, that's not why you want to die..."

Ji Wuli was actually even more angry. It was not necessarily true that he was seeking death, because recently many noble princes and princes had come together to make money while Xiahou Di couldn't care about it.

In their minds, Xia Houdi always wanted to unite a group of reliable people to avoid being completely turned into puppets by Xue Mu. Compared with outsiders, these royal relatives were certainly the most reliable people in the Zhou royal family. This is the most basic way for an emperor to use his power. When the gust of wind passed and Xia Houdi noticed these things, since the law did not punish the public and unity was needed, it was naturally impossible to do anything to the entire honor system, so he could only hold his nose and accept this fait accompli.

It's just that Ji Wuli has always been a bit of a fool, not careful in his work, and he doesn't care about touching other people's money. He even dared to touch money from Yunzhou. As a result, the evil star Mo Xuexin came to visit, and he actually brought Xue Mu with him... …

What's even more annoying is that this group of people didn't talk about the evidence at all and just came up with a presumption of guilt. All the preparations he made to settle the accounts were of no use at all!

He still made his last desperate struggle: "Your Majesty is from a sixth-generation background. You must provide evidence when you speak! Could it be that you want to set up a private court?"

Originally thought that this struggle was completely useless to Xue Mu, but it unexpectedly worked. Xue Mu smiled and said: "Of course I have to provide evidence. Master Li, can I leave this matter to you?"

Li Yingqing smiled bitterly: "Since I promised Your Majesty to temporarily take care of this business, I must make it clear. Don't worry, I will ask someone from my Shenji Sect to figure this out carefully."

Until Xue Mu pulled her out, Mo Xuexin was still confused: "Why should I tell him the evidence? I can't just chop it up."

"If I chop it directly and you can't get the money, why don't you go and rob his Prince Yi's Mansion? That would be a mess. Don't worry, in terms of arithmetic, the Shenji Sect is not only the number one but also the top three. We guarantee it for a day or two. With a little effort, I can help him figure everything out, and then you will be indispensable for even a penny of the money."

"Hmm..." Mo Xue wondered: "From what you say, do you have other plans for Ji Wuli?"

Xue Mu looked around and said to him: "Let's go, how about we watch the masked competition?"

Mo Xuexin immediately put aside Ji Wuli's nonsense and said happily: "Okay, okay! I've heard that today is the finals of the masked competition. It must be interesting."

Since the masked competition proposed by Xue Mu before going to Yizhou, the powerful people in the capital have taken it upon themselves to hold it. After so many ups and downs, it has never stopped. Although the focus has been diverted by many events, resulting in the eye-catching effect not being as good as previously expected, it is not uninterested. The unveiling of each issue always arouses a burst of amazement in the capital, and many surrounding areas are eagerly waiting for it. Jingshi Daily passed it on so that we could see the results of the masked competition.

Of course, Mo Xuexin was not interested. Her excitement was just because it was rare to watch a performance with Xue Mu, which felt good.

Arriving outside the Capital Theater, there was a sea of ​​people. Chu Tianming could be seen leading a team of people from the City Defense Department to maintain order, sweating profusely. Xue Mu couldn't help but laugh. This young man was not suitable for this kind of work at all. Xia Houdi Letting him take care of this kind of thing temporarily is just to increase his qualifications. This is a prelude to re-employment.

Xue Mu and Mo Xuexin were not in disguise. They were as dazzling as fireflies in the dark night. Chu Tianming saw it soon and ran over wiping his sweat: "My Mr. Lu Ding, why are you here to join in the fun? You don’t realize that we are all so busy, so you are here to add to our burden.”

Xue Mu took Mo Xuexin's hand and sneered: "I have my own woman to protect me, do I need you?"

Mo Xuexin pursed her lips and smiled, Chu Tianming pinched his forehead helplessly: "Yes, yes, each of your women is more scary than the last. By the way, what are you doing here?"

Xue Mu lowered his voice and asked mysteriously: "Do you find it annoying to do these jobs?"

"Nonsense, you personally led me into the Six Gates. You know my moral character better than anyone else. I can't do this kind of work!"

"Then let me change it for you?"

Chu Tianming immediately became energetic: "What good thing?"

"Still a secret agent, but instead of investigating political affairs, we will investigate officials, relatives, and all corruption and perversion of justice. Will you do it?"

Chu Tianming's eyes were shining, and he almost wanted to take off his city guard uniform: "Do it!"

Xue Mu patted him on the shoulder: "Just like these nobles who hold masked competitions... Oh, especially those who have money to organize but don't send their children to participate, it means that the children in the family don't even have any useful ones, but they are so rich. ...Do you want to know where it came from, just relying on food? I'll give you three days to pile the evidence on His Majesty's desk. Are you confident?"

Chu Tianming really took off his city guard uniform, turned around to find the deputy and stuffed it for him, and ran away: "I have already counted those goods. It doesn't take three days, just two days is enough!"

Mo Xue wondered: "Are you helping the Queen to fight against corruption?"

Xue Mu smiled slightly: "Zhang Bailing once told me that if you want to gain popularity, combating corruption is the most effective. Xiahou is currently in need of a way to establish his prestige. Aren't these people, including Ji Wuli, all coming to his door? A good target? I am not involved in these matters. The one investigating the case is that the Divine Machine Gate has six doors. This is the last gift I gave Xiahou before I left."

Mo Xuexin sighed softly: "Xiahoudi is so lucky to have you."

"It's also for the sake of the overall situation." Xue Mu whispered: "Although I have been resting for the past two days, I never dare to forget that there are still world destroyers who are against the way of heaven... I have a hunch, calmly The days are short, and we should stabilize the home front as soon as possible."

Mo Xuexin smiled: "You...even if you show your demonic nature in front of me, I can't escape from your grasp, so don't act like a majestic and upright person. The more you look at it, the more fake it becomes. It's better to say it clearly. Xia Houdi, you can do this to me one day."

Xue Mu chuckled, holding her hand and squeezing into the theater: "Then let's watch a show in peace first. I hope these guys won't disappoint me."
