Chapter 57: The Apology from the Cai and Wang Families!
As noon approached, a winding convoy, resembling a dragon, could be faintly seen outside the capital city approaching it!
With its impressive scale, it attracted attention wherever it went!
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the flags of the Cai and Wang families were hanging high above, clearly indicating that the Cai and Wang families were sending a convoy to pay silver to the Zhenwu Division!
The two companies paid a total of 35 million taels of silver to the Zhenwu Division, which is equivalent to nearly 3 million catties!
For ancient times, the cost of transportation alone was a huge expense!
Along the way, the journey was long and arduous. Seeing this, the local bandits inevitably succumbed to their greed and took risks!
Along the way, the two families killed countless bandits and robbers!
Not to mention raising silver, the difficulties were so great that even the Cai and Wang families had to pay a considerable price to barely scrape together the funds!
As they approached the city gate, the crowd finally saw the true form of the group!
On the carriage, one could vaguely see neatly arranged boxes inside through the tarpaulin!
The continuous convoy has attracted the attention of more and more forces!
Under the watchful eyes of many powerful forces in the capital, the carriages of the Cai and Wang families headed straight for the Zhenwu Division office after passing through the city gate.
Only after arriving in the capital did the Grandmaster-level experts from the Cai and Wang families dare to relax their vigilance slightly!
After all, money can be tempting. With so much silver, once the news gets out, it's inevitable that some Grandmaster-level experts will be tempted.
Fortunately, although there were some minor troubles along the way, none of them were serious!
Inside the Zhenwu Division, Donghuang Taiyi did not appear. Zhao Gao was in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Palace. At this time, only Xiaoyaozi and a few division chiefs were present!
The grandmasters from the Cai and Wang families, who were leading the escort of the silver, were extremely familiar with this mysterious deputy director of the Zhenwu Division!
As soon as the two arrived at the Zhenwu Division office, they found that Xiaoyaozi had been waiting there for a long time!
Upon seeing this, the two hurriedly stepped forward and bowed in greeting!
"I've met your Excellency!"
Although the two were not under Xiaoyaozi's command, the strong are respected, and they still deserved the respect due to the strong.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi did not make things difficult for him, but simply nodded lightly.
Seeing this, the two continued:
"The two companies have delivered a total of 35 million taels of silver. We hope that you will send someone to handle the handover!"
"The mastermind behind the assassination attempt on your director has also been brought here. We await your judgment!"
At this point, the two felt somewhat flustered, after all, the person who had been assassinated was still beside Xiaoyaozi, coldly staring at them!
Upon hearing this, Jingni didn't react much, she just snorted coldly and then ignored her!
Sitting in the main seat, Xiaoyaozi looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
He then looked at Jing Ni and said:
"Since that's the case, these two will be left to you to deal with. Although His Highness has handed them over to the Ministry of Justice for trial, as long as they are not dead, that's fine!"
Upon hearing this, Jingni was overjoyed, stepped forward, and bowed deeply in gratitude!
"Thank you, sir!"
Xiaoyaozi nodded and looked at Hei Bai Xuanjian, instructing him:
"I'll leave the matter of counting the silver to you and your men!"
"Yes!"
Hei Bai Xuan Jian nodded in agreement, said nothing more, and then turned and left!
Immediately, the entire Zhenwu Division sprang into action.
Thirty-five million taels of silver was an enormous sum. At this moment, the head of the two teams escorting the silver had already entered the gate of the Zhenwu Division, while the tail was still outside the capital!
This shows just how enormous the quantity is!
Within the Zhenwu Division, only the open-air training ground could hold all this silver!
Fortunately, we just summoned 2,500 Mo Dao soldiers yesterday, which is perfect for moving boxes and counting money!
Xia Taige was waiting outside the Imperial Study!
Just now, Xia Taige, who had just finished beating the husky, learned that the Cai and Wang families had received their silver!
After thinking it over, I decided to come to the Imperial Study to request an imperial decree!
Inside the imperial study, Emperor Xia was still reviewing memorials, just like always.
Wei Yong stepped forward to report:
"Your Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince are requesting an audience!"
"Xuan!"
"Yes!"
Outside the door, after receiving the summons, Xia Taige was about to step into the Imperial Study when she turned her head and saw Wei Yong standing motionless outside the door.
Seeing this, Xia Taige was somewhat puzzled and turned to ask in confusion:
"Come on, Wei Daban, what are you doing here instead of going inside!"
"Your Highness, this servant will just guard the gate for you here. If you need anything, just let me know, and this old servant will know!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Taige felt somewhat bewildered and immediately ignored it, walking inside alone!
"Your subject greets Your Majesty!"
"What is it?" Emperor Xia didn't even raise his head!
Seeing this, Xia Taige pursed his lips and said:
"Your Majesty, I have come here specifically to request an imperial edict from Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, the Xia Emperor did not inquire further, but simply responded indifferently.
"Write it yourself!"
Is this appropriate? Xia Taige thought to himself!
Helpless, seeing that the Xia Emperor had no intention of acknowledging him, he had no choice but to step forward and pick up the wolf-hair brush himself to start writing.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The Zhenwu Division, which is of vital importance to the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty, should be developed and strengthened. Therefore, branches will be established in all provinces and prefectures of the Great Xia Dynasty. Local officials should fully cooperate with the establishment of the Zhenwu Division branches and must not obstruct it. So be it!"
It was Xia Taige's first time writing, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it. He picked up the imperial edict, looked at it carefully, and then nodded reluctantly.
"Father, stamp the seal!"
The Xia Emperor glanced at it and looked up in acknowledgment.
"Go build it yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Taige glanced at Emperor Xia in surprise. Although Emperor Xia trusted him, wasn't he trusting him a little too much at this moment?
What if the imperial edict reads "Decree of Succession"?
Xia Taige couldn't help but think to himself!
Without hesitation, Xia Taige picked up the imperial seal and stamped it on the imperial edict!
After finishing his work, Emperor Xia also temporarily completed his revisions of the memorials in his hands. He immediately put down his wolf-hair brush, looked up at Xia Taige, and said calmly:
"Congratulations on making a fortune recently."
Upon hearing this, Xia Taige smiled shyly.
"Not much, just enough to establish a branch of the Zhenwu Division!"
"Tens of millions of taels isn't much? That's equivalent to the revenue of the Great Xia Dynasty's national treasury for one or two years!" Emperor Xia said irritably.
After a moment's thought, Emperor Xia was also somewhat impressed by Xia Taige's generosity.
Tens of millions of taels of silver were readily available to build government offices.
Such patriotism moved even Emperor Xia to some extent!
"From now on, you can write whatever imperial edicts you need to issue yourself!" Emperor Xia said, intending to make amends.
Upon hearing this, Xia Taige thought of the Emperor's Law he had signed in today, and looking at the Emperor Xia, who was lost in self-pity, he felt somewhat conflicted.
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Taige cautiously asked:
"How about Father Emperor abdicates the throne to me first?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xia's face darkened instantly. Looking at the arrogant scoundrel in front of him, he couldn't help but remind himself that this was his own son.
Sure enough, even if that bastard becomes the crown prince, he still won't change anything.
"roll!"
"okay!"
Xia Taige chuckled awkwardly and agreed, then turned and left with the imperial edict!
Outside the door, upon hearing what Xia Taige said, Wei Yong secretly rejoiced, thankful that he was smart enough not to go in!
Wei Yong couldn't afford to offend this living devil; he could only avoid him!
