Qin Dynasty: Your Majesty, I really am a time traveler.

Why was he ranked second in donations?

"He donated second place because he wanted to gain fame; he wanted a chance to become famous."

"He's utterly rotten in our Xianyang circle."

Li Yuanzhi became more and more agitated as he spoke, and his emotions became somewhat out of control.

"Who doesn't know he's an good-for-nothing? He just loafs around all day?"

"I got a government official position thanks to the favor of my elders in the family."

"In the end, he can't even be a good official! All he knows is how to prey on the people!"

“He even used his family connections to prevent others from exposing the bad things he had done.”

"If anyone else dares to leak this, the consequences could be dire."

He then revealed the truth about being the second-highest donor, and the content was chilling.

Tang Yu smiled, revealing an expression that said, "I knew it."

He had already realized that Li Chengjia's intentions were impure.

But his stupidity lay in the fact that his goal was to use Tang Yu.

As previously promised, their names will be engraved according to the amount of money each person donated.

If he really did that, Li Chengjia's name would be made public throughout the entire Qin Dynasty.

Li Chengjia became a respected figure in everyone's eyes, and all he had to give up was his wealth.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this statement sounds very Versailles-like or like the idea of ​​not eating meat.

But in this world, the hardest thing to win is a reputation.

At that time, there were many of them, who were well-known heroes of the martial arts world and high-ranking officials of the imperial court.

However, after his death, there was not a single word about him recorded in history.

Many people's life goal is to gain lasting fame.

Yu Qian did it, Li Bai did it, and some lucky people did it too.

That was Wang Lun in Li Bai's poem. This man accomplished something that countless people could not do in their entire lives simply by inviting Li Bai to drink.

Li Chengjia must be the same way!

He lived his whole life as a spoiled brat and was cursed as a scumbag his entire life.

He hoped to salvage his reputation through this method, but unexpectedly, it turned out like this.

"If that's what he thinks, why would he send you to stop it?"

"Isn't it true that the better things go, the more he benefits?"

"At that time, the people will praise not only His Majesty and me, but also others."

"And as the second-place finisher, he was the object of everyone's praise."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengjia's face fell, and then he looked at Tang Yu and poured out his grievances.

"That's because this guy's thoughts are obvious to everyone."

"More importantly, they're brainless! They have absolutely no patience for anything they do, and they're unwilling to wait at all."

“He told me before that he seemed to have asked His Majesty about it.”

"When will we start inscribing something, the names of the people who donated this money?"

"Your Majesty is right, we are waiting for the Grand Preceptor to return."

"But you haven't mentioned this matter at all, even now!"

"We all tried to persuade him to wait, but he wouldn't listen!"

"He felt he couldn't wait any longer, so he called us to sabotage him."

"In that case, the Grand Preceptor will find out about this matter."

"Then he can rightfully request that you, Grand Preceptor, have his name engraved on it."

After he finished speaking, the man knelt on the ground, his face ashen.

Anyway, he has said everything he needed to say, and this matter has nothing to do with him in any case.

"Whether it's a disaster or a curse, I'll accept it! It's better than taking the blame for someone else and dying unjustly!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu glanced at the man in front of him.

"So he really is a threat to you?"

Tang Yu's question made Li Yuanqi nod.

"Yes, he did threaten me!"

"Otherwise, why would I be sleeping here?"

"After all, those people live pitiful and difficult lives, as I have seen before."

"I also wish to contribute my share! If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao He!"

"Just five days ago, I wasn't like this now."

"Back then, in their eyes, I was still Lord Li, and I was still a good official."

"But now, they wish everyone would spit on me a few times before they would stop."

Is it like this today?

After pondering for a moment, Tang Yu ordered the soldiers to take Li Chengjia away.

He went directly to the side with Ying Zheng, who looked at Tang Yu and said with a smile.

"Mr. Tang, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

How to deal with it?

"Your Majesty, what do you think is the best way to get rid of this problem?"

Yongzheng, good heavens!

You want me to work for you for free? You want to take advantage of me for nothing?

I'm telling you, that's impossible!

In this lifetime, Tang Yu is the only one who gets to take advantage of others; no one else ever gets to take advantage of Tang Yu.

Tang Yu had a very firm grasp of this basic principle.

"In my opinion, it is best to kill him."

With a casual remark, Ying Zheng could decide the life or death of an entire family.

Tang Yu knew that Ying Zheng's killing was not just about killing Li Chengjia, who had committed the crime.

Instead, they killed Li Chengjia and even the entire Li family.

After all, in Ying Zheng's eyes, this matter was extremely important.

Li Chengjia dared to cause such a consequence in this matter because of personal grudges.

Even an ordinary member of the Li family was affected.

Those who are passive and negligent in their duties are unworthy of being officials of the Great Qin.

Therefore, Ying Zheng must have been truly enraged, and Tang Yu said excitedly at this moment.

"Your Majesty, you are foolish! You are truly foolish!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng probably already knew in his heart what he had done wrong.

Upon realizing that this person was talking about him like that, he looked at Tang Yu and expressed his confusion. Tang Yu then excitedly explained.

"Your Majesty, how can the Li family be considered bad people? How can they be accused of opposing us?"

"This person is clearly a good person! An incredibly good person!"

"Didn't he recently come to donate money because he saw that our Qin state's treasury was tight?"

"The Li family alone might not be enough, but wouldn't it be enough if we added other people?"

Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

He looked at Tang Yu with surprise in his eyes. He never expected that Mr. Tang would be even more ruthless than he had imagined.

Ying Zheng thought Tang Yu was a typical example of someone who was kind on the outside but ruthless on the inside, but now he realized that he had been underestimating him all along.

Then he simply said something out of curiosity.

"Mr. Tang, if that's the case, what reason do you intend to use to drag the Li family into this mess?"

"If there is no legitimate reason, I'm afraid the Li family will also harbor resentment."

"Hmph, they don't even deserve it!"

Tang Yu snorted coldly and looked at the list in his hand.

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about the others in the Li family."

"During the time Li Chengjia served as an official around Xianyang City, he committed all sorts of evil deeds."

"He's truly hated by everyone!"

“There are detailed records here.”
