I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Tan Guang said firmly: "Tan Guang is already alone. It was the emperor and the eunuch who saved me and gave me the opportunity for revenge!"

"Tan Guang is willing to enter the palace to serve His Majesty!"

Xiao Weizi said with satisfaction: "Okay, go ahead. I can adopt you as my adopted son and teach you martial arts."

Tan Guang immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Weizi several times: "Adoptive father!"

Xiao Weizi pointed at Xiao Xinzi and said, "From now on, you two have to help each other."

Xiao Xinzi responded reluctantly: "Yes, godfather."

"Take me to see Chen Li."

Xiao Weizi came to the cell where Chen Li was imprisoned.

As soon as he saw Xiao Weizi, Chen Li showed a look of horror.

"Uncle, spare your life!"

After learning that Xiao Weizi was the famous head of the West Factory, Chen Li guessed the identity of the man in fancy clothes.

The only one who can make the Master of the Western Factory so respectful is the current emperor!

He actually planned to assassinate the censor who was investigating river transportation in front of the emperor!

Chen Li was so scared that he was shaking all over!

Xiao Weizi activated the Life and Death Talisman, and Chen Li suddenly felt pain and itchiness, and rolled over in agony.

Little Weizi said in a low voice: "According to your crime, death by slicing would be a light punishment!"

"But your majesty is merciful and will spare your life."

"You must seize this opportunity to redeem yourself from your crimes!"

"Father-in-law, have mercy on me! Father-in-law, have mercy on me!"

Chen Li kept begging for mercy.

But Xiao Weizi still didn't stop.

Chen Li felt pain in every bone in his body.

The pain made his eyes water and his nose run. He kept scratching his body, trying to relieve the pain in this way.

Seeing Chen Li scratching his whole body, Xiao Weizi said:

"Whether to be your Majesty's dog or to be fish food for river fish, it's up to you."

Chen Li quickly said: "I'll be a dog, I'll be a dog!"

Little Weizi was satisfied and said, "Very good, you will return to the Cao Gang headquarters in Yuhang tomorrow and lie in wait."

"Yes, sir! Yes, sir!"

Seeing his enemy Chen Li like this, Tan Guang looked at Xiao Weizi in shock.

This seemingly ordinary eunuch is actually so powerful.

"Godfather, I want to learn martial arts!"

Tan Guang knelt in front of Xiao Weizi and said.

Xiao Weizi said, "Can you endure hardship?"

"can!"

"Okay, but let me tell you, our West Factory's martial arts have only one purpose."

Little Weizi cupped his hands and said, "The martial arts of the Western Factory were all granted by His Majesty."

"Your foster father taught you martial arts. You must remember His Majesty's grace!"

"If you dare to have even the slightest disloyal thought, no matter where you flee to, your foster father will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"

Tan Guang's body trembled, and he quickly said, "Yes, godfather!"

The next day.

Something big happened in Yuzhou City.

A fire suddenly broke out at the branch of the Cao Gang.

The Cao Gang's branch was directly burned down, and dozens of disciples inside also died in the fire.

The martial arts masters who went to the martial arts conference also disappeared.

The life and death of the branch leader Chen Li is also unknown.

Another thing is that the imperial censor who was investigating the river transport case in Yuzhou City found the Cao Gang as a suspect.

But before they had time to find evidence, all the branches of the Cao Gang were burned down.

Having lost this clue, the censor had no choice but to stop the process and continue heading south.

Another important thing is that the emperor did not stop in Yuzhou City, but went directly south to Binhai.

This made the magistrate of Yuzhou City feel relieved.

Taking advantage of the night, a man and a woman rode fast horses and galloped along the river towards Yuhang.

These two people were none other than Chen Li from the Cao Gang branch, and guest elder Ye.

Their destination was the Cao Gang's headquarters in Yuhang.

Life and death talismans were planted in the bodies of both of them, and Xiao Weizi also sent experts from the Western Factory to follow them.

On the dragon boat, Li Tian was talking with a young imperial censor.

Tian Liang was the imperial censor sent by the court to Yuzhou City to investigate the river transport case.

The reason why Li Tian summoned Tian Liang was because he was incompetent!

Tian Liang stayed in Yuzhou City for nearly half a month, but he didn't find any clues!

What does this prove!

This proves that this guy is an incompetent idiot!

This is the talent I'm looking for!

Now all the civil and military officials in the court are so capable, especially his brother-in-law!

I am so unlucky to have met a brother-in-law who is like the modern-day Huo Qubing!

The more Li Tian thought about it, the angrier he got!

Then she saw Tian Liang's honest face and instantly became happy again.

I am not afraid that you are incompetent, I am afraid that you are too talented!

This kind of "talent" is what I want!

So Li Tian summoned Tian Liang specifically.

"Your Majesty, the problems in river transportation have long been rooted in the past."

"From Yuhang to Kyoto, there are more than a million people who control the canal transport, from boatmen and boatmen to the canal transport department, as well as underworld forces such as the canal gang!"

"All these people depend on the Cao Gang for survival."

"So a minister of water transport once said that water transport is the concern of millions of water transport workers."

"The relationship is complicated and all revolves around water transport."

"This is where the difficulty in investigating river transport cases lies!"

Not bad!

Li Tian looked at Tian Liang with satisfaction.

This is a great work attitude!

Let me pass on the blame first and talk about the difficulty of the work!

Li Tian admired Tian Liang more and more.

It seems that this is just a bastard.

It would be great if there were more scoundrels like this in the court, the country's fortunes would be ruined even more!

Li Tian motioned for Tian Liang to continue.

Tian Liang then said: "It is difficult to investigate river transport, but this is also because water transport is very important."

"The grain and brocade from Yuhang must be transported to the capital via the river."

"When the previous emperor was alive, he also conducted a crackdown on river transport, which eventually led to a strike and chaos in the capital."

"The late emperor had no choice but to issue an order to stop the investigation."

Tian Liang glanced at Li Tian and said, "It is my incompetence that I did not find any evidence related to the river transport scandal in Yuzhou City!"

Li Tian quickly helped Tian Liang up and said, "My dear, please stand up."

"I am also aware of the difficulties of grain transport."

"When the late emperor conducted a thorough inspection of river transport, I was in charge."

"I naturally know the result."

"Before the late emperor passed away, he once told me that the Great Zhou had three problems: the problem of borders, the problem of river transportation, and the problem of wealthy families."

"Since I ascended the throne, I have worked diligently and only just managed to quell the troubles on the northern border..."

“This river transport problem cannot be solved overnight!”

"How can you blame me, my dear?"

Of course Li Tian had to comfort Tian Liang.

If this guy quits, and the court sends another capable censor, we will be doomed!

What I need is a loser like Tian Liang!

But when Tian Liang heard what Li Tian said, he was so moved that tears filled his eyes.

Li Tian continued, "River transportation has never been a problem for one city or one county."

"The entire canal transportation system is rotten!"

"An important minister said that the canal transport was the concern of millions of canal workers."

"But compared with the millions of canal workers and the people of the whole world, which one is more important?"

"They are leeches parasitizing the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"They are not only sucking my blood, but also the blood of the people of the world!"
