Peacock Ping, Jiang Yihuai's residence, Jiang Yihuai, the former emperor of the dynasty, is preparing for tomorrow's course at this time, since he resigned from the position of emperor twenty years ago, he has been teaching in this Peacock Ping for a living, twenty years of teaching career has already made Jiang Yihuai develop a habit, every night he will be ready to talk about the next day before falling asleep, but tonight it is estimated that Jiang Yihuai will not be able to sleep!

"Dangdang ......" The knock on the door suddenly sounded, Jiang Yihuai's face moved slightly, and then he suddenly became stern, because Jiang Yihuai now lives in a small courtyard, it stands to reason that even if someone knocks on the door, it should be knocked on the courtyard door outside, not his own door, Jiang Yihuai got up and opened the door quietly, as soon as the door opened, a white knife light slashed at Jiang Yihuai's throat, and at the same time, the other two knife lights slashed at Jiang Yihuai's chest and abdomen!

Although Jiang Yihuai was a civil servant, it is not that he does not know martial arts, Jiang Yihuai, who was frail and sickly when he was young, was sent by his father to play swords and listen to the rain pavilion to practice martial arts, and Jiang Yihuai did not put down his martial arts in the past twenty years in Peacock Ping, it is really hard to say what Jiang Yihuai's strength is at this time, but it is definitely enough to deal with these assassins who suddenly came to the door. レレ

I saw that the three sword lights were about to reach the moment, Jiang Yihuai's body suddenly retreated rapidly, and the three sword lights fell to the ground and cut three traces, when they wanted to lift the knife again, Jiang Yihuai's palm suddenly burst into flames, and then the three assassins were knocked out of the house by a huge force, Jiang Yihuai calmly stepped out of the house, and then was surrounded by dozens of black-clothed assassins with knives, Jiang Yihuai smiled lightly: "It seems that someone doesn't want me to go back!"

"But...... They also underestimate me Jiang Yihuai too much!" Jiang Yihuai's body shook as he spoke, and a sky-high sword intent burst out from Jiang Yihuai's body, this sword intent condensed into a lightsaber several meters long in the air, and as Jiang Yihuai stretched out his hands, countless sword qi about a foot long suddenly came out of this lightsaber several meters long, and the sword qi penetrated the chests of these assassins, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of assassins were killed, but Jiang Yihuai smiled lightly: "It seems that ...... It's time to go back, too!"

Early the next morning, Jiang Yihuai packed his luggage, he planned to announce the news that he would no longer lecture after today's class, but he didn't expect that when he was in class, a team of hundreds of people entered the Peacock Ping, and under the guidance of someone, they went straight to Jiang Yihuai's school, and when they arrived at the door of the school, Jiang Yihuai had already stopped lecturing, he looked outside the door and muttered: "Plan...... I can't keep up with the changes!"

"That's the end of today's lesson, and you won't have to go to class from tomorrow, teacher...... It's about to go away. After that, Jiang Yihuai casually took out the package from the cabinet on the side and put it on his back, and then in the surprised eyes of the children, Jiang Yihuai walked out of the school slowly, at this time a horse stopped in front of Jiang Yihuai, and then hundreds of horses stopped behind this horse, only to hear the person on the horse laugh: "Brother Jiang is really clever, we have just arrived at you and are ready." ”

"I haven't seen you for many days, you are doing well, and you have become a great teacher, congratulations!" Jiang Yihuai looked at the person on the horse and smiled, yes, this person on horseback is Xuan Xuan, he was ordered by the emperor to come to Peacock Ping to welcome Jiang Yihuai back to Beijing, originally the emperor planned to come in person, but he was not worried about those officials in Beijing, and Xuan Xuan happened to know Jiang Yihuai, so the emperor simply handed over the matter to Xuan Xuan to handle, so there was Xuan Xuan who led people to come today.

“...... It seems that Brother Jiang is not very calm here. Xuan Xuan said slowly, his nose was very sensitive, and he smelled the faint smell of blood in the air, Xuan Xuan, who was accustomed to killing, could naturally tell that this bloody smell was derived from human blood, and this bloody smell came from Jiang Yihuai's body, Xuan Xuan could naturally see that Jiang Yihuai was not injured, so this bloody smell must be someone else's, but other people's blood smell can remain on Jiang Yihuai's body for so long...... It seems that Jiang Yihuai killed a lot of people last night!

"It is not surprising that there are many people in the world who want to harm others and benefit themselves. Jiang Yihuai shook his head and said, the assassins who appeared last night obviously got the news that they were about to return to Beijing, so they came to assassinate, and it is not surprising that returning to Beijing will threaten the interests of some people, after all, the officialdom has already seen it very thoroughly, but if it is said that things are so strict that Cheng Dù needs to kill people, it is definitely not a simple officialdom, but the people behind it are afraid.

"That's why Brother Jiang needs to return to Beijing, lest some clowns who jump off the beam can't see their own positioning clearly!" Xuan Xuan said with a slight sneer, Jiang Yihuai nodded approvingly, he whistled A white horse ran out of the back of the house, Jiang Yihuai turned over and embarked on the road back to Beijing with Xuan Xuan, and when the two returned to Beijing, a secret meeting was being held in an official mansion somewhere in Jiuli City.

"Rubbish!" a tall and thin man said angrily, but the other three people present all had undeniable expressions, including the man who spoke at the court, in addition to the plump man, a kind old man was in charge of diplomacy, a muscular man was Mu Zheng in charge of animal husbandry, and the man with the manuscript who spoke just now was the dragon who was responsible for raising dragon horses, these four people together formed a small group, and now the empty treasury of the dynasty is also the work of these four people.

One of these four people is in charge of taxation, one is in charge of foreign affairs, one is in charge of animal husbandry, and the other is in charge of raising horses, and it stands to reason that except for that Mu Zheng and Yulong, the others are basically unrelated, how can these four people get together? In the final analysis, it is all about money, three of these four people are short of money, and one person is in charge of a lot of money, so the four ambitious, or greedy people came together instantly, and thus committed a corruption case that can almost be called the largest since the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty!

The reason is actually very simple, the previous Great Xia Dynasty was in charge of the entire Great Wilderness, which can be said to be a monopoly, plus the strength of the dynasty at that time, whoever disobeyed him was just that, so he did not attach importance to diplomacy, and when the dynasty was weak, the only diplomatic object was Youdu, and it was naturally impossible for the dynasty to establish diplomatic relations with Youdu, so whether it was before or now, the official position of Yuren was actually equivalent to a fictitious position, the daily income is enough to support his family.

Mu Zheng is in charge of the official position of animal husbandry in the Great Xia Dynasty, it stands to reason that this official position should not be as unvalued as the people, after all, eating has been a big thing since ancient times, and the official position in charge of animal husbandry should naturally be a fat difference, but the grassland suitable for grazing in the great wilderness is basically in the north, and the grassland is basically taken away when the secluded capital is difficult to invade for 20 years, and there is no grassland in this great wilderness where there is no farm, so the official position in charge of animal husbandry has plummeted, and the associated Yulu is much less。

Compared with the first two, the situation of the dragon who is responsible for raising the dragon horse is much better, because the number of dragon horses is scarce, so only the royal family can ride, and the dragon who raises the dragon horse has become the king's close minister on a certain Cheng dù, and has become the king's close minister, is there anything to dissatisfaction with? Of course, although the royal horse breeds the dragon horse, but the number of dragon horses is scarce, and the current dynasty is only four or five, so how much money can be given for raising horses, and there is not much left after deducting the daily expenses of the dragon horse, and the dragon is a low position, and the little money is just barely making ends meet.

It is precisely because of the low level of these three official positions that they have to find some way to get money, so how can the entire Great Xia Dynasty get the fastest money? Needless to say, it is naturally corruption, so where is the most money in the entire Great Xia Dynasty? The state treasury, and it happened that the reigning king at that time did not care about state affairs Taikang, he was just greedy for his own pleasure, and he did not have a complete idea of how much money was still in the treasury, so the three of them decided to get some money from the treasury to spend it.

But in this way, there is one person who can't get around, that is the man who is in charge of the country's taxes, this man not only has the power to collect taxes, but also has the power to manage taxes, and the key to the treasury gate has one in addition to Taikang's hand, and the other is in his hand, so if the three of them want to make money from the treasury, the safest way is to pull the husband to do it together, and only if he also joins the others, can rest assured.

Everyone can guess what happened after that, the thief who has no thief heart and no thief courage was encouraged by the three of them to summon up the courage to join this small circle, and the three of them teamed up to stage a scene of self-theft, and moved the treasury that was still quite surplus, originally a few people thought that the next year's tax would be able to cover up their embezzlement of treasury money, but they didn't expect Taikang to die suddenly, and the emperor immediately won a big victory after taking the throne, and as a result, this meritorious reward was in trouble.

Although at the court meeting, the emperor used the empty treasury as an excuse to let the emperor temporarily postpone the idea of rewarding, but they also knew that this was not a long-term solution, and the sudden emptiness of the treasury would definitely arouse the suspicion of the emperor, so he would definitely send someone to investigate the matter, and at this time, the emperor Jiang Yihuai, who was about to return to Beijing, was undoubtedly the best candidate, first, the emperor was the head of the civil ministers, and no one dared to say no words when he came to investigate, and secondly, Jiang Yihuai had just returned to Beijing and his prestige was insufficient, and he could take this opportunity to recount his prestige, because of this, Jiang Yihuai became a thorn in the side of the four people, and they naturally did not want him to return to Beijing。

But the matter of asking Jiang Yihuai to return to Beijing to re-serve as the emperor has already been discussed at the court meeting, and the ministers have already agreed, if they oppose it at this time, it is undoubtedly a thief's weak heart, and they naturally understand this, so they have to start from Jiang Yihuai, Jiang Yihuai is just right, and he resigned as the emperor because he couldn't see Taikang's mediocrity, and it was naturally useless for this kind of person to be bribed, so they had to choose the assassination method.

But I didn't expect that Jiang Yihuai had practiced when he was a child, and the dozens of assassins they hired couldn't help Jiang Yihuai, and even were killed by him, after all, the hired assassins were not as hidden as the assassins he trained, after Jiang Yihuai returned to Beijing, as long as he investigated a little, he could easily know that the four of them hired assassins to assassinate him, so the frightened four people quickly got together to discuss countermeasures, and there was the scene where the dragon scolded the assassin as 'waste'.

"Okay, dissipate your anger, now is not the time to lose your temper, the top priority is to find a way to cover up the origin of those assassins, otherwise we will be unlucky when Jiang Yihuai returns!" The plump man immediately said, because the husband was the only official with real power among the four, so the husband had a tendency to become the head of the four, and at this time, although the dragon was still angry when the husband spoke, he stopped talking.

"In my opinion...... We might as well put a fire in the treasury!" The old man stroked his beard and said, to be honest, this is indeed a way, if the treasury is on fire, the contents will naturally be unavoidable, even if there are any clues, they will disappear with this fire, and when the time comes, as long as they insist that the assassins are not hired by them, even Jiang Yihuai can't do anything to them without clues, but this idea was immediately rejected by the husband:" Absolutely not, once the treasury catches fire, the first unlucky official is definitely me, no, no......"

"Why don't we hire someone to assassinate Jiang Yihuai again?" said the slender and tall imperial dragon, he himself thought this idea was very good, because in most people's eyes, Jiang Yihuai belonged to that kind of weak scholar, the reason why the assassination failed this time was probably due to other reasons, if it was again, the probability of success should not be low, but the husband said: "This is not good, don't forget that the one who went to pick up Jiang Yihuai back to Beijing this time is the great master Xuanfan, this one can be with the jade master, Zhang Kaifeng is a master on a par, it is too difficult to assassinate Jiang Yihuai under his escort, not to mention that he has brought hundreds of disciples of the Heavenly Machine Camp with him here......"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, does it mean that we are waiting here to die!" The strong man Mu Zheng said dissatisfiedly, the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty are very strict, no matter how big or small the amount of corruption and other crimes of officials, they are all the end of the death penalty, the difference is only in the different methods of death, once Jiang Yihuai returns to Beijing to investigate corruption, the crimes they committed will definitely not escape his investigation, and when the time comes, not only will the four of them die, I am afraid that even their families will inevitably be implicated, so the strong man will be so anxious, suddenly the light in the eyes of the strong man flashed, he raised his head and smiled strangely: "Do you remember...... Wu Zhongxian?"
