I am also waiting for the hero to usurp the throne today [Transmigration Book]

Huo Caiyu was not wrong, Ye Gui'an really flattered Li Jinyu, invited many beauties to sing and dance, and even shamelessly pulled out several of his own daughters, asking His Majesty to appoint him.

In his mind, since Concubine Xian is favored in the palace, His Majesty is also somewhat interested in his other daughters.

Li Jinyu stared dumbfounded at the rows of girls with different expressions brought out by Ye Guian—the youngest daughter of Ye Guian looked only eleven or twelve years old!

Ye Gui'an heard that His Majesty likes to have fun the most, so he intimately asked a circle of dancers to surround Li Jinyu, and asked them to feed Li Jinyu wine together.

Surrounded by strangers, a row of human faces, and countless hands...

This scene instantly became No.2 in Li Jinyu's nightmare, almost comparable to the black cat hanging upside down on the ceiling!

If it weren't for the sliver of sanity left, Li Jinyu almost wanted to jump up and run away.

He said with a stiff face: "I'm a little tired, Ye Aiqing..."

Ye Gui'an thought he understood, and smiled all over his face: "Your Majesty has worked hard, you should rest earlier, I don't know which one, or which ones your Majesty wants to sleep with?"

"No need, I want to be quiet."

"Follow Your Majesty's will." Ye Gui'an beamed and nodded to his youngest daughter, "Be quiet and serve Your Majesty well."

Li Jinyu: "..."

When he heard this stalk last time, he hadn't matured yet.

In the end Li Jinyu resolutely rejected other people's request to serve him.

Not to mention that he didn't want anyone to stay by his side at all, but it was too tiring for the little girl to sing all night at such a young age.

Li Jinyu was not used to leaving Huo Caiyu to sleep alone after a long time.

The most important thing is that he doesn't know whether those chills or that black cat is only entrenched in the palace or following him.

Just in case, before Li Jinyu and Huo Caiyu separated, they had to take away all of Huo Caiyu's clothes, even the sheets in the inn.

In front of Huo Caiyu, Li Jinyu directly changed his clothes, and put Huo Caiyu's underwear, obscene pants, and socks under his outer robe.

Huo Caiyu's purple myrtle imperial aura remained on these clothes. Although it oppressed Li Jinyu, it also gave him enough sense of security.

It was because Huo Caiyu had a strange expression on his face when he watched him change his clothes.

——Hey, Huo Caiyu doesn't think he's a pervert, does he?

Li Jinyu could only comfort himself: If you are perverted, you can be perverted, as long as you are safe; besides, your image is not very good with Huo Caiyu, and it might be better if you are almost.

Huo Caiyu's other clothes were wrapped in a small package, and Li Jinyu planned to sleep under the quilt.

I don't know if it's because of the remnant crape myrtle imperial energy suppressed on these clothes, Li Jinyu didn't encounter any abnormalities the first night he left Huo Caiyu, that is, there was no cold air, and there were no cats.

……

On the second day, Li Jinyu looked at dozens of cats of different colors in cages in front of him with a blank expression, and repeated, "Where did this come from?"

Ye Gui'an smiled all over his face: "There are rumors in the capital that His Majesty likes to play with kittens. I specially collected these. Please have a look at them."

Li Jinyu's face froze, and tears flowed into a river of grievance.

At the beginning, he checked the situation of the concubine's cats in the palace, but now it turned out that he likes to play with kittens?

Concubine Xian is like this, and so is Concubine Xian's father!

With a cold face, Li Jinyu refused without hesitation: "No need."

"The minister asked Jing Jing to serve His Majesty?"

"No need."

"That minister..."

Ye Gui'an's flattering voice pierced his ears like a devil's voice, almost making Li Jinyu faint.

He used to think that Concubine Xian was annoying, but now it seems that Ye Gui Anjiang is still old and hot, and the annoying degree is even more annoying than his daughter.

In order to maintain the persona, Li Jinyu couldn't be too indifferent.

In the process of dealing with Ye Gui'an in the past few days, Li Jinyu also tested Ye Gui'an's attitude towards the new tax law.

Unlike what Li Jinyu and Huo Caiyu had guessed before, Ye Gui'an was neither guilty nor flustered. Instead, he patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the spring tax of Qingshui County will be paid in full this year!"

The full amount must be enough, but it is not certain whose pocket it will reach.

Li Jinyu muttered something in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little strange: What instructions did Prime Minister Ye give Ye Gui'an to make Ye Gui'an so calm and without a trace of guilt?

Then Li Jinyu reflected for a while, and realized that maybe it wasn't that Ye Guian was fine, but that he didn't see it.

Well, if only Huo Caiyu was here.

Li Jinyu especially misses the life by Huo Caiyu's side.

He has only one thought now: when can Huo Caiyu start to make a move?

……

Maybe it was Huo Caiyu who heard his voice, or maybe it was Huo Caiyu who was more anxious than Li Jinyu. After a few days, someone came to the lobby of the government office and sued Ye Guian, the current governor of Qingshui County, for corruption and perverting the law.

Ye Guian's first reaction after receiving the news was to be at a loss.

He had been the local emperor in Qingshui County for so long that he completely forgot the possibility of grass people suing the sheriff.

But he reacted immediately, a little surprised: "Why did you report this to me?"

Shouldn't the people below have dealt with that ignorant pariah with sensibility?

The servant said respectfully: "It's the meaning of Deputy Sheriff Shen. Deputy Sheriff Shen said that His Majesty is stationed in Qingshui County, and it's rare to have something new. Let's have a fun and invite His Majesty to watch."

Ye Guian has always disliked Shen Fuya, but he also knows that Shen Fuya is a capable person, he can enjoy himself with peace of mind, and relies on Shen Fuya to handle many matters, so he can listen to Shen Fuya's opinions to some extent.

His Majesty has indeed been depressed these past few days, and the beauty, wine, and food can't make His Majesty show off.Ye Gui'an was worrying about this, thinking about how to make His Majesty happy.

Shen Fuya's opinion is really interesting... I heard that there is an inner prison in His Majesty's palace, which is filled with all kinds of torture instruments, and usually takes pleasure in torturing people.

Maybe this untouchable who was sent to his door to seek his own death can make His Majesty laugh.

The more Ye Guian thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. He paced back and forth for a while, and made up his mind: "I will invite Your Majesty right now."

……

It is a rare thing in Qingshui County for the county guard to be promoted in person.

In the past, Junshou Ye only cared about making money, and let go of serious business. The common people only heard Junshou Ye's name, but didn't know his appearance.

This time someone dared to sue County Sheriff Ye in person!

The people of Qingshui County, who had just finished the spring tax and were gnashing their teeth with hatred for Ye Gui'an, called their friends and gathered around the gate of the government office to watch.

Ye Gui'an didn't like to meet the untouchables face to face, and wanted to order the officials to drive them away, but was stopped by Li Jinyu.

In order for their plan to proceed smoothly, Li Jinyu said against his will: "I like excitement the most, so let them watch."

This sentence made Li Jinyu feel angina.

Ye Gui'an was very cooperative: "These untouchables are all thanks to His Majesty!"

When the interrogation started, there was a handsome man with a straight spine and piercing eyes standing under the hall. It was Huo Caiyu.

Li Jinyu sat behind the shadow gauze specially prepared for him by Ye Guian, and he was slightly relieved to see that Huo Caiyu's demeanor was still the same.

I don't know if there is telepathy, but Li Jinyu feels that Huo Caiyu seems to be looking this way.

Ye Guian sat in the hall and looked at Huo Caiyu majestically: "Who in the hall dares to sue this official?"

Huo Caiyu said neither humble nor overbearing: "The name and surname of the grassroots are not worth mentioning. This time, I came here to accuse Mr. Ye of being corrupt and perverting the law, disregarding the imperial court's order, and tampering with the new tax and political law without authorization!"

Ye Gui'an sneered: "The court's laws, I am only acting according to the order, how can I tamper with it? Not to mention this, the law of this dynasty, the common people sue the ordering officer, and they will be hit with ten sticks first! Have you thought about it?"

Huo Caiyu has even withstood the court staff of the inner prison, so he is naturally fearless: "Think about it."

But Li Jinyu couldn't sit still.

Ye Guian really knows how to think about this!

Huo Caiyu is the dragon's ass of the future!He couldn't bear to touch it, but Ye Guian actually wanted to take off Huo Caiyu's pants in public and spank her ass? !

"cough."

Li Jinyu coughed behind Yingsha.

Ye Guian understood, and said solemnly: "The unruly people are rude, add ten more sticks!"

Li Jinyu: "..."

He had no choice but to say, "Don't bother, just get straight to the point."

After saying this, Li Jinyu felt that Huo Caiyu looked at him again.

Exempted from the cane punishment, Huo Caiyu showed no expression on his face, and directly showed a volume of documents, and read them aloud.

Li Jinyu recognized that it was a detailed rule of whipping that Huo Caiyu pulled him to draw up together.

In order to make it easier for the onlookers to understand, Huo Caiyu also simply calculated the data: "According to the new tax of the imperial court, the people of Qingshui County only need to pay the tax once this year, no more than twelve one person, and no business certificate is required."

As soon as this remark came out, the people outside exploded.

"Ten taels?! My family has paid 30 taels this year! And they said there will be another one at the end of the year!"

"I don't need a business certificate? Then I already have cash at home, why send it up and get the price lowered?!"

"Is what this little brother said true or false..."

Ye Guian was upset when he heard that, and shouted: "Quiet!"

Then he lowered his head and stared at Huo Caiyu with a gloomy expression.

He also wondered what kind of daring pariah dared to challenge his majesty, but he didn't expect to be prepared to deliberately target him?

Look at this person's demeanor, neither humble nor overbearing attitude, it is definitely not something that can come out of ordinary people's homes!

Normally, it would be fine to forcibly detain this person and beat him to death with a stick, but today His Majesty is by the side...

Ye Gui'an faintly felt that something was wrong, but he didn't catch that feeling.

Huo Caiyu was still standing below, Ye Guian didn't have time to think about it, he slapped the gavel: "Full of nonsense! This official upholds the will of God and gives orders to the people, why are these shameless acts? There is no evidence to slander the imperial officials, come on!" man—"

"Who said there is no evidence?" Huo Caiyu interrupted him, took out another volume from his sleeve, opened it in class, and read, "Jingchang sixth year of February seventh day, Yuanguang Commercial Bank, collected tax silver 350 Two or two coins; the eighth day of February..."

Ye Guian's expression suddenly changed.

He was all too familiar with these ledger entries.

It was the account book reported to him by the person in charge of the firm!

——How could it be in the hands of this person? !

"Bold!"

Huo Caiyu paused, and looked up at Ye Gui'an: "The evidence is so strong, what else can Master Ye say?"

"It's all slander!" Ye Gui'an sneered, planning to use violence directly, "Come here, take down this nonsense thief!"

"Wait a minute." Li Jinyu spoke from behind Yingsha, "How can I see...these don't seem fake?"

Ye Gui'an's expression changed again, and he forced a smile and said: "You don't know, these unscrupulous people love to tell stories, so don't believe them all."

The common people outside the lobby were intimidated by the county guard's gavel tree and did not dare to speak, but now seeing Ye Gui'an submissive to a mysterious person hiding behind the scenes, they couldn't help but wonder about that person's identity.

"Could it be the superior of the sheriff? What is the name of the next level of the sheriff?"

"I think it might be the sheriff's wife!"

"Nonsense, that's clearly a man's voice!"

"It can't be His Majesty the Emperor, haha!"

These discussions are only passed on from ear to ear among the common people, but Huo Caiyu is quite close to the common people, and all the gossip is heard.

Hearing that His Majesty is Ye Guian's male favourite, Huo Caiyu's already unattractive mood got even worse.

He raised his head and said loudly, "What else can Mr. Ye say?"

Ye Guian glanced at him, secretly hating in his heart: If His Majesty hadn't happened to be here, he would have already beheaded you right now, how could you be talking here?

"The official knows, but this matter is very involved and involves a lot, and needs to be investigated carefully..."

Before the words were finished, Shen Fuya, the deputy sheriff who had been sitting in the side seat with lowered eyebrows and silent words, suddenly left the seat, went to the front of the hall and knelt down.

Ye Gui'an had a strong bad feeling in his heart: "Master Shen, you..."

"I see Your Majesty." Shen Fuya kowtowed three times in Li Jinyu's direction, straightened his waist, and said every word loudly, "I sue Ye Gui'an, the governor of Qingshui County, for corrupting the law and disregarding the court's taxation!"

Immediately Shen Fuya waved his hand, and the cronies who had been prepared for a long time came forward and presented many evidences of Ye Guian's crimes, hearing this made the common people dumbfounded, even the yamen servants were also dumbfounded.

There was an uproar.

The onlookers below widened their eyes and straightened their necks to see Li Jinyu who was hiding behind the shadow gauze.

--emperor!

--emperor!

The high and mighty Son of Heaven is actually right in front of them? !

It was rumored that the emperor had a green face and fangs, and lived as a cannibal; it was also said that he was extravagant and extravagant.

The common people have only known about the existence of the current emperor from government notices and folk rumors, and have never been so close to His Majesty!

——Judging from the voice just now, it doesn't seem to be as scary as rumored?

……

Ye Guian's face was terribly gloomy.

He finally realized that it wasn't this pariah who came prepared today, but Shen Fuya had a second heart and tried to drag him down.

He didn't inform Shen Fuya of the plan to form Yuanguang Commercial Bank, but Shen Fuya is the deputy sheriff of Qingshui County after all, if he wants to pick himself out so easily, it may not be easy.

On the contrary, he is the cousin of the current prime minister and the father of Concubine Xian, how could His Majesty turn to him!

Ye Gui'an thought it over clearly, got up and knelt down as well: "Your Majesty is wise! This is Shen Fuya who spouted blood and planted spoils on my ministers. Your Majesty cannot be trusted!"

Li Jinyu took a light breath, cheered himself up, lifted the shadow gauze curtain and walked out.

The people below saw a young man walking out, dressed in a black robe embroidered with golden dragons, with a white jade glazed crown on his head, with handsome eyebrows and eyes.

——Your Majesty looks so good-looking...

This was the first thought that popped up in the hearts of the people.

Then they heard the displeased voice of the aloof emperor: "Ye Gui'an, is this how you treat the responsibilities given to you by the court?"

This sentence can be regarded as expressing His Majesty's position.

Ye Gui'an couldn't believe his eyes, and suddenly raised his head to meet His Majesty's gaze, only to find that His Majesty didn't look at him at all, and only caressed the gavel on the case and sighed: "The imperial court appointed you as the county guard, and you don't want to serve the people?" Seeking welfare, but deceiving superiors and inferiors, taking money and breaking the law!"

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

"There are all the witnesses and material evidence, so what's wrong with it?" Huo Caiyu took a step forward and said calmly, "If Mr. Ye feels wronged, then...then ransack the house."

……

It's hardly a copycat.

According to the locations provided by Shen Fuya, the imperial guards found Ye Gui'an's warehouse and pulled out carts of bright and precious gold, silver and jewelry.

These imperial guards were the emperor's personal guards. Qingshui County rushed to protect Li Jinyu after notifying the capital, which was also the greatest force they could rely on.

Facing this mountain of gold and silver, the people who have never seen the world seem to have no idea what "money" is.

Even Li Jinyu opened his mouth in surprise.

The gold, silver and jewels in Ye Gui'an's mansion are even more luxurious than those in the palace!

How much has he exploited from Qingshui County during these years of his reign?

At this point there is no need to say any more evidence.

"Master Ye, do you have anything else to say?"

Ye Gui'an's expression was ashamed, and after a long time, he struggled to sit up as if he was grasping the last straw, "Your Majesty, whether you are guilty or not, you are a member of the royal family, and you are entitled to one-time immunity."

Li Jinyu looked at him, saw that he confirmed Huo Caiyu's guess, sighed inwardly, and tried to maintain a majestic aura: "I know this."

Ye Guian breathed a sigh of relief.

The people below all showed expressions of daring to speak out.

Li Jinyu changed the subject, "But I also remember that this law cannot exonerate all crimes, such as... treason."

Ye Guian was slightly taken aback.

He was only greedy for money, and indeed he never thought of treason.

Before he could figure it out, he heard Li Jinyu continue, "I came to Qingshui County this time for a big event."

Everyone looked at him and suddenly mentioned this for some reason.

The gazes of so many people were concentrated, and Li Jinyu suddenly felt tremendous pressure.

If it had been before leaving Beijing, he might have thrown out a few words dryly right now, and then quickly found an excuse to escape;

But now looking at the bewildered, angry, disappointed, and hopeful people below, Li Jinyu thought of the poor but kind-hearted villagers in Wumingshan Village, the scholars who gathered by the river outside the city to study hard, and Huo Caiyu who worked hard for the people. .

These people and things filled his inner courage, allowing him to stand here and speak his lines slowly in the eyes of the human beings he fears most.

"I met a rebel assassin in the palace, but he failed to assassinate me, and took away the hanging beads on the gilded emperor's crown from me."

Li Jinyu pointed to his own head, "Pingtian gilt imperial crown is the treasure of the imperial palace handed down by the grandparents. I heard that those hanging beads appeared in Qingshui County, so I came here."

Up to this point, Ye Guian still didn't understand.

At this time, a guard came running from a distance, holding a tray in his hand, and knelt down to report: "His Majesty, the Pingtian gilt hanging beads that His Majesty was looking for were found in the warehouse of Yuanguang Commercial Bank, please take a look at them!"

There are ten shiny black gold silk beads in the tray.

Ye Gui'an was dizzy, and said loudly: "Your Majesty! The firm only buys them, but they don't know the origin of these things!"

"You're right in saying that." Li Jinyu picked up the ledger next to it, flipped through two pages, and then lightly dropped it on the tray, "The ledger records that someone pawned twenty hanging beads that day, but there were only ten in the firm." ...Where did the other ten go? Could it be that Mr. Ye wanted to live the emperor's addiction by himself and hid it secretly?"

Ye Guian's eyes almost popped out, he wanted to explain but didn't know where to start, rolled his eyes in a hurry, and fainted on the spot.

Li Jinyu saw him fainted, ignored him, turned to look at Shen Fuya: "Master Shen."

"The sinner is here."

"Although you are meritorious in reporting, the crime of collusion is still unforgivable... I will give you a chance to survive. You count Ye Guian's family wealth, check it carefully, and return all of it to the people or use it for the construction of Qingshui County. If you do Well done, I can still save your life."

Shen Fuya didn't seem to have thought that he still had this task, he was slightly taken aback, before he knelt down and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"You don't need to thank me." Li Jinyu sat down again, "Ye Gui'an has learned from the past, so don't make the same mistakes again.

"As for Ye Gui'an, order him to account for the whereabouts of the remaining ten Pingtian gilt hanging beads within three days, and if the time limit expires, he will be punished as treason!"

The onlookers clearly heard the conversation between Li Jinyu and Shen Fuya, their eyes were in a trance, and it took a long time for them to be filled with ecstasy, and some of them burst into tears.

--Its daybreak?

——They don't have to be exploited by Ye Junshou in the future?Finally don't have to worry about hard work for a year, but the harvest can't even pay the tax?

At this moment, they completely forgot the rumors of the emperor's tyranny and injustice that were passed on by word of mouth. They just knelt on the ground and shouted gratefully: "Long live Your Majesty!"

The shouts came and went, and the sound shook into the sky, dispelling the dark clouds that had hovered over Qingshui County for a long time.

……

Detaining Ye Gui'an in a cage and dragging him all the way back to the capital, asking Shen Fuya to temporarily act as the sheriff, demoting a group of corrupt Ye Party officials, and then arranging the follow-up trivial matters properly, Li Jinyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, paralyzed on the bed motionless: "My I'm going to die of exhaustion."

When has he done these things before?

Huo Caiyu put away the paperwork, looked calmly around the bedroom where His Majesty lived temporarily, did not see any traces left by women and men, and felt a little relieved.

Seeing Li Jinyu really working hard, Huo Caiyu's heart softened, and he said softly: "Your Majesty, please rest, we can return to Beijing tomorrow."

Your Majesty has really worked hard this time.

Huo Caiyu's admiration for Li Jinyu grew stronger.

Your Majesty is so far-sighted that he laid out the pawns in Yuanguang Trading Company early in order to return Naye to An's army today!

In contrast, my hard-earned plans and strategies are as simple as a child's play.

His Majesty is so good...

Huo Caiyu stared at Li Jinyu with pride and sadness in his heart.

"By the way, where's the lame money?"

Li Jinyu suddenly remembered the young man who accompanied them all the way, and asked.

"He's at the inn. He was also watching the trial last time. After knowing your identity, he couldn't speak easily." Seeing that Li Jinyu was in a good mood, Huo Caiyu relaxed a little.

It was only after meeting Li Jinyu that he realized that Lame Qian was more than just a clumsy speaker, he didn't know where to put his eyes.

Qian Laizi wanted to kowtow to Li Jinyu, but was stopped by Li Jinyu: "Don't be too polite."

As soon as we parted, Huo Caiyu asked: "No accident, Ye Gui'an will have no chance this time - what are your plans for the future?"

Qian Laizi cried once when Ye Guian was imprisoned, and now his mood is still calm, only a little dazed: "I don't know... before I only thought about revenge for my parents, I didn't think about anything else."

Li Jinyu remembered that apart from his gloomy temper, this young man was very active, so he secretly felt sorry for him.

If Lame Qian can grow up well, learn to read and write, maybe he will have a completely different life.

Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly brightened: "Do you want to study?"

Lame Qian was slightly taken aback.

Given the opportunity to read, who wouldn't want to read?

It's just that he is alone, how can he afford Shuxiu?

"I have a way."

Li Jinyu took Qian Laizi to the school that he had bought and lent to those few to study, and asked the scholars there to help teach Qian Laizi.

The scholars didn't go to watch Ye Guian's fall, so they didn't see what Li Jinyu looked like when he was emperor.But benefactor asked them to help, and they naturally agreed: "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely teach this little brother how to read!"

Li Jinyu and Huo Caiyu boarded the carriage back to Beijing after arranging a place for Lame Qian.

The process of this trip to Beijing was ups and downs, completely beyond the two people's expectations.

But the result was quite satisfactory—Ye Guian was sacked, and the people involved were enough to cause the prime minister's faction a headache.

Before getting in the car, Li Jinyu wanted Huo Caiyu to sleep in the same car with him; but not long after the convoy started, Li Jinyu suddenly changed his mind and asked Huo Caiyu to go to another car.

Huo Caiyu didn't know why, so he pursed his lips and left his Majesty.

After finishing his business, he put all his thoughts back on his Majesty, and was thinking about spending time with His Majesty on the way back to the palace, when he ended up with a basin of cold water in his pocket.

Li Jinyu had no time to care about Huo Caiyu's mood.

He hid himself under the quilt, refusing anyone to enter the carriage, clutching the short, fluffy tail behind his buttocks, wanting to cry without tears.

——Why is the tail sticking out?
