At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

just.

The beautiful woman's resentful look made Xia Yun a little confused.

I don't remember committing any crime against this beauty.

With some doubts, he put down the person in his arms and walked over.

"This girl, you are from another place, right? What is your purpose in coming to Dai County?"

Xia Yun felt that this person with a complicated identity must be interrogated.

It’s definitely not because this little girl is so beautiful that it’s breathtaking.

"Business."

Two light words came out of the mouth of the Queen of Daliang.

But there is an unremovable chill.

"Since you are here to do business, there is a banquet today. People from all the chambers of commerce in Dai County will be there. I wonder if the young lady is interested in attending the banquet."

Xia Yun didn't care about these details until he heard the word "business".

The image of the empress changed in his eyes.

From other place.

fat sheep.

There are only a few words left, and appearance is no longer important.

"Ah."

Seeing Xia Yun's excitement, the empress resisted the urge to kill him.

nodded.

As for the banquet that Xia Yun mentioned, she wanted to see it with her own eyes.

Xia Yun is a shitty official.

How did he collude with the gentry and powerful people to embezzle so much money?

build roads.

He also secretly kept weapons and armor.

"This is."

Just as the Queen of Daliang was thinking about how to kill Xia Yun.

She saw another scene that shocked her.

I saw an iron box emitting black smoke rushing out from the side door of the government office.

Stopped in front of Xia Yun.

"After all, I'm from another place, and this is my first time seeing this iron car."

“Blessed.”

"It can serve as Lord Xia's mount."

...

"Get in the car."

Xia Yun patted the iron car with black smoke still coming out of the rear, and a hint of complacency flashed in his eyes.

Even if you worked in a top research institute for more than ten years in your previous life.

It was not easy to build a car from scratch in ancient times.

If only an open-air oil field had not been discovered outside Dai County.

He wouldn't bother to tinker with it.

"this."

After hesitating for a moment, the Queen of Daliang signaled her men to step back.

He gritted his teeth and got into the car with his personal maid.

Xia Yun followed closely behind, sitting opposite them with his arms around the two beauties.

"Boom."

Before the empress could get angry, the entire iron car started running very fast.

No Mara.

The tin box that could run by itself shocked the empress greatly.

especially.

The speed is urgent and fast.

"lecher."

Soon his attention was drawn to Xia Yun again, and he couldn't help but spit.

I saw.

Xia Yun hugged the two beauties.

The big hand was very dishonest and reached into the beautiful woman's underwear.

Tinker with various shapes.

The woman in his arms had a flushed face and tried hard not to make a sound.

This scene.

Let the Queen of Daliang and her personal female official.

They all involuntarily reached for their waists, where there were sharp short blades hanging.

"Since you two are here to do business, I wonder what kind of business you are planning to do."

Completely unaware that he had just had a close call with death, Xia Yun looked at the empress with a smile.

Then he said, "All the businesses in Dai County, big or small, are under my protection."

"Make sure someone gives you a discount."

"Ah."

After hearing this, the Queen of Daliang was not happy at all, and the coldness in her eyes became even heavier.

This made Xia Yun very confused.

But it was too difficult to ask, so he could only touch his nose awkwardly.

Sniff the faint fragrance on your fingertips.

Unfortunately, there were two strange women and the driver in the car.

A more exciting idea just arose and was extinguished.

"arrive."

The iron carriage slowly stopped in front of a mansion, and Xia Yun was the first to get off with the beauty in his arms.

The Empress of Daliang and the other woman remained silent.

follow behind.

He looked indifferently at the group of wealthy people who were waiting at the door to greet Xia Yun and trying their best to please him.

Strong tribe.

Is this what you call being bullied?

well.

In the mind of the Queen of Daliang, there was a new twist to Xia Yun's death.

Officials and gentry collude.

No wonder so much money can be made.

Large-scale construction projects were carried out and soldiers and armor were stored.

"This is a merchant from out of town. Please take care of him."

next moment.

As soon as Xia Yun finished speaking, the Queen of Daliang was filled with murderous intent.

It was completely interrupted.

A group of wealthy merchants, with shining eyes and fawning looks on their faces, surrounded them.

I finally suppressed my anger and got rid of these people.

When I saw the table full of delicacies, I almost lost control.

"You bastard, you lied to me and told me I had to eat coarse food every day, but now you've been flirting with some wealthy tycoon. I'm afraid you're living on wine and meat every day."

The Queen of Daliang looked at the hundreds of dishes placed on the table.

Completely angry.

Previously, in order to support Dai County, silver, money and grain were allocated from Neinu.

Leading to her being the supreme ruler.

I ate only porridge for half a month and couldn't even afford an egg.

As a result, this bastard Xia Yun eats and drinks like crazy all day long.

Just now she asked the female official to find out the standards for entertaining Xia Yun in Dai County.

This is the standard for everything.

"By the way, Lord Xia, I wonder about this year's anti-bandit campaign."

"Can you please make some concessions?"

The host of the banquet, Mr. Huang, looked a little embarrassed at this moment.

"Yeah, I've been having some trouble lately."

"Can you postpone it for a day or two?"

The other noble families and wealthy people all had similar expressions.

They all agreed.

This also attracted the attention of the Queen of Daliang.

After hearing the whole story, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.

On the way to Dai County.

She had not encountered any bandits blocking the road within hundreds of miles.

The cavalry was also sent to investigate.

There were no signs of banditry, which made the empress rarely want to kill Xia Yun.

A few points less.

The only thing that made Xia Yun satisfied was that the people were no longer affected by banditry.

"Why, you don't want to spend the money to suppress the bandits?"

Xia Yun's half-smiley look instantly made the group of gentry nervous.

"Out, why not out?"

The instigator, Mr. Huang, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"I just want to ask you to be lenient with me regarding these millions of taels of silver."

"this."

“I pay this much every year.”

"It is really."

The other wealthy businessmen looked at Xia Yun hesitantly, wanting to say something.

My eyes are full of anxiety.

After hearing this, the Queen of Daliang could not understand what was going on.

Xia Yun, this bastard.

They are making up all kinds of excuses to extort money. No wonder they can use the money and grain to build roads and hide soldiers and armor. That's millions of taels of silver.

Still one year.

Although they all come from the gentry, where does the gentry get their money from?

Aren't all of them the blood and sweat of the people?
