"Haha, Mr. Wang Yizi, these things in your hands were obtained by the swords and guns of the soldiers of the Red Fire Empire. They should be handed over to the national treasury and taken care of by our household department."
At this moment, a man with a mustache and a twinkle in his eye walked over with a smile.
"Haha, it turns out to be Mr. Zhou Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs!"
Seeing this person, Long Chen snorted coldly. It was this person who was the most active just now, thinking about suppressing the generals. In fact, he had come outside the hall long ago, heard everything clearly, and then made some preparations.
Only then did he dare to walk into the main hall and face these civil servants face to face.
Long Chen looked at Zhou Yan coldly and said, "Master Zhou, what did you say just now? Could you please say it again, Master Zhou?"
"Long Chen, you..."
Zhou Yan was not taken lightly by Long Chen's contemptuous tone. He pointed at Long Chen and said righteously, "Long Chen, the army wastes people and money in war, so that the national treasury is in deficit. Now you are sitting on an army of 1.5 million, holding the
What is your intention with the wealth of the six empires?"
"Haha, Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan, originally I didn't intend to argue with you, a worm of the empire, but since you dare to get your hands on the spoils of my army, I think it's time for you, the Minister of Household Affairs, to move your butt!
"
Long Chen snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "Come here, bring the things up!"
Under everyone's gaze, a group of soldiers walked in from outside the hall, carrying vermilion boxes in their hands.
The moment he saw these boxes, the expression of Zhou Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs, completely changed.
Because these boxes were exactly what he hid in the underground secret room, he would take a look at these things every day before falling asleep.
He didn't need to take a second look to be sure that the things in the box were his.
Boom boom boom...
Ten large boxes fell heavily on the ground in succession. With Zhou Yan's pale face, Long Chen waved his hand and the lid of the box was opened directly.
Buzz!
After everyone saw the crystal white spirit stone in the box, the expressions of many people present changed drastically.
One box contains a thousand spiritual stones, and ten boxes contain ten thousand spiritual stones.
And if these ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones were exchanged for gold coins, it would be a huge amount of wealth.
"Everyone, these things were found from the house of our Minister of Household Affairs, Mr. Zhou Yan!"
Long Chen looked at Zhou Yan coldly and said, "Master Zhou, aren't you going to explain?"
"snort!"
Zhou Yan's face turned a little pale, but he still gritted his teeth and looked at Long Chen fiercely and said, "Long Chen, don't spray blood on others, I have never seen these things before!"
"What? You don't want to admit it?"
Long Chen smiled faintly and said, "Put her in!"
When everyone looked confused, Zhou Yan's expression suddenly changed. When he saw the person who walked in, he fell to the ground helplessly.
At this time, the woman who was brought in was still a little reserved when she entered the hall at first, but after Shaoqing, she stood up with her head held high, pointed at Long Chen with an angry look on her face and shouted, "Okay, boy, you...
The robber openly came to my house and robbed my property. If you don't return my things to me today, I will never end it with you!"
"It's over!"
Zhou Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs, sighed secretly, as if he had aged ten years.
"Everyone should know this lady, right?"
Long Chen pointed at the woman, looked at everyone present, and revealed a spine-chilling smile, saying, "Her name is Gong Yue'e, and she is Lord Zhou Yanzhou's wife!"
After Long Chen finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yan who was lying motionless on the ground, smiled coldly, and said, "Zhou Yan, Mr. Zhou, what else do you have to say now?"
Zhou Yan shook his head and said dryly, "That's all, the evil was caused by me and has nothing to do with Yue'e. Yue'e, after I die, you find a place to bury me and live a good life!"
Zhou Yan's eyes flashed with a look of madness and determination, and as soon as his body moved, he banged against the stone pillar of the main hall.
Bang!
Blood spattered, and Zhou Yan slowly lay down on the ground. At this time, Gong Yue'e, who looked dull, screamed suddenly and came to Zhou Yan's side in an instant, hugging the body and crying loudly.
"Take it down!"
Long Chen pointed at her eyebrows, knocked her unconscious, and ordered people to take them down.
After doing this, no one in the hall dared to openly go against Long Chen.
As for this civil and military dispute, it disappeared under Long Chen's sharp methods.
The civil servants were speechless. Some of them had dirty butts and were afraid of being caught by Long Chen. How could they dare to confront Long Chen at this time?
After retreating from the court, Xia Wenyuan and Long Chen sat together in the Shangshu room, looking at a huge map in front of them, with a burning color flashing in their eyes.
"Brother, with our current strength, there is no problem in advancing into the top ten, but there is still a gap between the top five."
"Especially compared to the current number one eldest prince, he is still far behind!"
Xia Wenyuan expressed his worries without much excitement in his brows.
"Haha, Wenyuan, you don't have to worry too much about this. Your current opponents are only the eldest prince, the third prince, the eighth prince, and the ninth prince. As for the others, they are destined to be just foils."
Long Chen took out a large pen and directly drew a circle on a country on the border of the Holy Light Empire, "If we can win the second prince, our strength should be able to advance into the top five, and the power of the eldest prince and others
It’s almost the same.”
"And I also have a plan. If this execution is successful, it is very likely that you can surpass the eldest prince in one fell swoop and maybe become the number one!"
Long Chen smiled faintly, and a mysterious look flashed in his eyes.
"oh?"
When Xia Wenyuan heard this, his expression changed and he said, "Brother, do you need me to do anything?"
Long Chen nodded lightly and said, "You only need to tell me the personal preferences and shortcomings of the second prince Xia Yun."
"Personal preference?"
"shortcoming?"
Xia Wenyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, his brows furrowed, and he said, "Xia Yun does have one shortcoming."
"oh?"
Long Chen was slightly startled when he heard the words.
Xia Wenyuan looked at Long Chen, nodded heavily, and said, "Xia Yun is extremely lecherous. In the past, in the Holy Capital City, only princes who were fifteen years old or older could open a mansion, and he was the first one after opening a mansion.
Tian then forcibly robbed a top brothel man named Shi Xuanxuan. When his father found out about it, he became furious and punished him for half a year, not allowing him to step out of the mansion. Only then did the matter gradually subside. "
"But it is said that even though he has not stepped out of the mansion, many women still come to his door..."
