C542 Reward
C542 Reward
His Majesty saw that Zhao Wuji did not speak for a long time and was somewhat anxious.
Zhao Wuji swallowed his saliva and said helplessly, "This is the contract to sell my body. It says that anyone who becomes the manager of Gold Hidden Pavilion... All their lives must be handed over to Xiao Yun. If you are in a bad mood, you will have to kill all the family members of the manager, said Xiao Yun, even if you are in a bad mood, you will have to kill all the family members of the manager. That's true... It is also the law of the family, and it is in accordance with the law of the country."
The corner of the emperor's eyes twitched for a while.
He couldn't help but ask, "Kid, when you first built the Gold Hidden Pavilion, you already expected this kind of thing to happen?"
Xiao Yun shrugged and said, "Sigh, I also want to think about good things. They used to be good people, the kind that they saw on the road. Good people who would smile sincerely at them, even at dangerous times. The kind who could block a knife for you behind your back... But... when they had power, it was inevitable that they would change, so... the peasants only took precautions in advance, but they didn't think... Sigh, let's not talk about it."
He waved his hand with force.
It was as if he wanted to get rid of all the worries in front of him.
He wanted to be happy.
He wanted to live for a long time.
His Majesty let out a long sigh of relief.
Because he was also frightened by Xiao Yun.
No matter if it was Xiao Yun's meticulous thoughts, human nature, or his ruthless decisiveness!
No matter who saw it, it could be considered as severing one of his arms, but Xiao Yun did it so casually.
It was as if... it was just normal.
But in this way, all the sins... had disappeared.
This matter was just like what Xiao Yun had said, it wasn't a big deal at all.
It was Xiao Yun who used the token to do a national and domestic thing together.
But it was a little too much.
After all, this token was not enough for him to command the Imperial Guards and open the city gates!
Of course, this was a relatively small crime.
At most, he would be punished.
Zhao Wuji also knew that he couldn't use this matter to kill Xiao Yun.
But could he just give up like this?
Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice, "Your majesty, although this is a misunderstanding, Xiao Yun received many gifts previously. He has amassed a lot of money and used Old General Xiao's credit to obtain them. What's the difference between his actions and the manager of Gold Hidden Pavilion? Such an act is really detestable. I hope Your Majesty can investigate it clearly! "
His Majesty frowned.
Zhao Wuji did not say anything, but he had forgotten about this matter.
Now Xiao Yun spoke frankly and confidently, which was a disgrace to everyone present.
Including His Majesty.
Therefore, he had to watch him suffer some defeats.
Otherwise, he would not be able to bear it in his heart!
"Xiao Yun, is there such a thing?"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "About what Imperial Tutor Zhao said, half right, half wrong."
" Oh? Why is there still half of it left?"
His Majesty shook his head helplessly.
Zhao Wuji, on the other hand, said coldly, "Hmph, the entire capital saw this matter. Let's see how you can quibble!"
His Majesty also frowned as he watched.
Everyone, including Prime Minister Lee, wanted to hear Xiao Yun's answer to this matter.
After all, Xiao Yun's unrighteous words had become a hot topic in the capital.
Xiao Yun sighed and said, "The peasants have received those gifts. There are many, many, but not the ink. They are not trying to take the opportunity to amass wealth. First of all, it is a gift. I didn't have any relationship with them in terms of benefits, and I didn't do business with them. They were not in the government, so how could they accept bribes? If the peasants accepted the money and worked for them, but did the peasants do it? It didn't seem to be the case, did it? What was that? That was just a gift. They gave it to him, and the peasants accepted it. Was there a problem? Is it against the law? "
" Ah, this... "
His Majesty was stunned.
Then, he went to see Prime Minister Lee.
The corners of Prime Minister Lee's eyes twitched. After searching his stomach for a long time, he did not think that Xiao Yun had violated some law.
"Although you did not violate the law of the country, as a Viscount of Qin Country, you enjoy the position of a hereditary lord. How can you do such a shameless thing? Even if the law cannot judge you, you have always broken the law!"
Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Actually... the peasants do not lack money. Accepting some gifts as a form of celebration. As for amassing money, it is not really necessary. However, if you insist on punishing me for this, the commoner also has nothing to say."
He did not defend himself.
This was very strange.
His Majesty was stunned.
Prime Minister Lee gritted his teeth.
Because he realized that there was nothing to be happy about if he suddenly won.
Imperial Tutor Zhao was happy at first.
But then, he felt a little depressed.
After all, he really couldn't do anything to Xiao Yun.
He had thought that this was a big matter, but when the matter came to an end, he realized that it was actually just a small matter.
Although Xiao Yun's actions were despicable and shameless, there was no danger to his life.
The only fortunate thing in his heart right now was that Xiao Yun's reputation had been completely destroyed.
This was also pretty good.
His Majesty sighed.
He had a feeling of victory, but also a sense of desolation.
A person who had never lost in terms of words suddenly lost.
It was like the fall of a hero.
Actually, just looking at it wouldn't make one happy.
Just as he thought of this, His Majesty was suddenly stunned.
He thought of something.
Then, his eyes immediately lit up!
He coughed twice.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, his face turned red.
He could only hurriedly turn his head away and tidy up his expression. After that, he said, "Xiao Yun, although the things you do have a good goal, but during the process, you made an overstep mistake. Back then, Zhen gave you the token, but it wasn't for you to use it in such a way. You relied on Zhen to forget about this matter and do whatever you want? If I don't punish you, how can there be any justice in the world? How about this, originally because of the northern expedition, Zhen is prepared to reward you properly. But now, you have done so many wrong things... This reward is also exempted, as the merits outweigh the merits."
His Majesty narrowed his eyes.
He was waiting for Xiao Yun to come and cause trouble.
After all, he had made such a great contribution. It was impossible for him to really make a contribution to make up for it just because of these things.
In the end, he had to haggle over the price.
In this way, as long as His Majesty promoted Xiao Yun by a few ranks, the reward would be completely settled!
His Majesty was just in the midst of being happy.
He also prepared some bargaining skills.
In the end...
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yun suddenly said these two words.
His Majesty looked up at Xiao Yun.
He found that there was a calm smile on his face.
It was a kind of...
He had already expected this kind of result, and was even waiting for this kind of result!
His Majesty suddenly woke up!
He immediately understood why Xiao Yun was in such a hurry to punish the Gold Hidden Pavilion's shopkeeper, and why he had to make such a big move.
Obviously, he could use a better way to not be caught by others. He could even stand on the moral high ground and do whatever he wanted.
However, he had chosen this method, and even Zhao Wuji thought that it was a way to bring him down.
It turned out that... all of this was to solve the matter of rewards!
