The strongest nine thousand years old

"Eunuch Chen, we are wholeheartedly serving Dayan and have no selfish motives. We are not forcing Your Majesty, so please be careful with your words." Yu Wenming said calmly.

Wei Liang snorted coldly, "You are a eunuch, and you dare to question us?"

Chen Dong's face darkened. He hated people like this who spoke dirty words the most.

Imperial Censor?

It should be the Doctor of Shit!

"What Wei Yushi said is not right. What you just said was, 'die-hard remonstrance! Die-hard remonstrance, do you need me to explain to you what it means?" Chen Dong smiled playfully.

Wei Liang said with a fake smile: "The monarch made a mistake, and as a minister, I gave advice and suggestions to correct the chaos. Not only was I not at fault, but I was actually meritorious."

"Do you think so too?" Chen Dong looked around at the others, but his eyes fell on Yu Wenming. He knew that this guy was the leader.

"If you all think so, I will not go to the northern border to announce the decree. All of you gentlemen are right, and I am the only one who is wrong. If I did something wrong, how could I have the face to represent His Majesty to announce the decree? What's more, how can I, a eunuch, compare with Lord Yushi? Right, Lord Yushi?" Chen Dong teased.

Wei Liang snorted in anger, "How can a man go back on his word?"

"Sorry, I'm a eunuch, not a real man." Chen Dong spread his hands with an indifferent expression.

"You! You have no shame!" Wei Liang swung his sleeves in anger.

Faced with a tough guy like Chen Dong, everyone was helpless.

Yu Wenming proposed this plan in order to get Chen Dong away from Yan Yunzheng and at the same time push someone from the Yuwen family to the position.

If Chen Dong doesn't go, how can he carry out his plan?

Yu Wenming took a deep breath, frowned and said, "Whatever you want to say, Eunuch Chen, you might as well say it directly."

"Then I will tell you what I think. You gentlemen have threatened to die, and Your Majesty has lost face. Although I am physically handicapped, I understand the principle of being loyal to the emperor."

Chen Dong straightened his spine and said righteously: "Everyone present will be fined silver according to their official rank! Ninth rank, 1,000 taels, eighth rank, 2,000 taels, seventh rank, 3,000 taels, and so on!"

Hearing that it was just a fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They also secretly laughed at Chen Dong for being so petty and inexperienced.

Just a few thousand taels of silver, you can have it with just the snap of your fingers.

Do you really think that the county magistrate who ruined a family and the prefect who wiped out an entire clan were called that for nothing?

According to his official position, Yu Wenming was the first to hand over six thousand taels of silver.

Others could only hand in their silver bills.

Chen Dong's eyes turned red. "Damn it! They all carry thousands of taels of silver notes with them. What are they trying to do? There is no official who is not greedy. This is really a true saying!"

Yan Yunzheng was so angry that his face turned red and his whole body was shaking. "These guys, when it comes to disaster relief fundraising, they all cry poor, and now they take out a few thousand taels without blinking an eye. They are really a bunch of parasites to the country! Sooner or later, I will punish them!"

In just a few words, Chen Dong had received nearly one million taels!

With these people's ten years' salary, it is impossible for them to have so much money!

When Chen Dong took the banknote from Wei Liang, he said secretly, "Master Yushi is really rich and generous. Six thousand taels of banknotes are given to you as soon as you say so."

Wei Liang sneered, "You are just a little eunuch, you have never seen so many banknotes, right? Today I will open your eyes."

"It's really eye-opening. You gentlemen actually carry twenty years' salary with you." Chen Dong said sarcastically.

Everyone's heart was startled at once, and they realized that they had been set up by Chen Dong.

If the officials were honest, they would never take out so many banknotes at once. Unless they were corrupt and perverted the law!

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Yu Wenming, suppressing their unwilling anger. It was this guy who started it, so they took out the banknotes.

Yu Wenming had never thought that Chen Dong had this trick up his sleeve. He just wanted to give Chen Dong the money and ask him to leave immediately. If Chen Dong didn't go, wouldn't he be left with nothing?

But he never expected that Chen Dong, a man without a chicken, would actually put on a show of roosters crowing and dogs barking for him.

Yu Wenming said with a gloomy face: "Eunuch Chen, do you want to investigate the source of our wealth? When you come back from the northern border, we will offer it to you with both hands!"

Chen Dong smiled and said, "I remember what Lord Yuwen said. Your Majesty is my witness. Lords, please don't be a villain who breaks his promise and gets rich."

"Especially Master Yushi, please don't let a eunuch like me look down on you!"

Wei Liang sneered, "I am upright and honest, I am not afraid of investigation!"

"Master Yushi is indeed a man of high moral character!" Chen Dong gave a thumbs up and praised, "I want to emulate the virtuous. I want to emulate Master Yushi. I wonder if Master Yushi dares to make a bet with me?"

Wei Liang's heart skipped a beat. Fang Han, who had made a bet with Chen Dong last time, was still locked up in the cell.

"What do you want to bet on?" Wei Liang asked with gritted teeth.

"Since you all are so concerned about the affairs of the Northern Territory, I will of course bet with Lord Yushi on this." Chen Dong said, "I bet that Xiao Li will win a great victory. If I win, Lord Yushi will retire and return home. If I lose, I will leave Yanjing City forever. Lord Yushi, do you dare?"

The familiar routine made Yu Wenming smell a conspiracy.

"Could it be that Xiao Li can really win?" Yu Wenming couldn't help but ponder secretly, "Impossible! This is the news sent back by the Queen, it can't be false! This little eunuch is bluffing!"

Thinking of this, Yu Wenming winked at Wei Liang.

Wei Liang knew what was going on, and said righteously: "Although I disdain to bet with a eunuch like you, but in order to keep you away from His Majesty, and to make His Majesty stay close to virtuous officials and stay away from villains, I bet with you!"

"That's great! Please bear witness, gentlemen." Chen Dong smiled and bowed.

Yu Wenming said impatiently: "Eunuch Chen, can you leave now? If you delay for a moment, the people in the northern border will be in greater danger."

"Lord Yuwen really cares about the people. On behalf of the people, I would like to thank you all for your banknotes." Chen Dong shook the thick stack of banknotes in his hand.

Yu Wenming's eyes flashed with doubt and uncertainty. He thought Chen Dong was going to embezzle the banknotes or hand them over to Yan Yunzheng. But from what he said, he was going to help the people?

Are there really such selfless people in this world?

Yu Wenming didn't believe a single punctuation mark!

Chen Dong used the "defeat in the northern border" incident to make nearly one million taels of silver notes, and also asked for the official hat of the Imperial Censor, which made him quite satisfied.

Moreover, looking at the current situation, the news has already been widely spread among the people.

When the news of Xiao Li's victorious return spreads throughout the court and the country, the people will feel guilty for their current abuse.

Xiao Li's reputation and Yan Yunzheng's reputation will reach an unprecedented level!

Gather the people’s hearts!

This is the main purpose of Chen Dong and Yan Yunzheng.

Tricking these ministers was just a matter of convenience.

"Since this poop-controller has jumped in on his own initiative, I can only be his poop-shoveler for once." Chen Dong said to himself.

Accompanying their personal bodyguards, the group left Yanjing City and headed for the northern border.
