Chapter 103: Are You Guilty?
"It's a great place!"
Ling Xiao sighed secretly in his heart.
And around him, countless Sword Sect disciples had already been infatuated with this place, and they were reluctant to leave this general's mansion in their hearts.
The scenery in this general's mansion is so beautiful, it is simply a fairyland on earth.
Come to think of it, this was the Dust Moon Princess's mansion before, and of course it was unique to build, and it was obviously clear that it could be given to Ling Xiao.
Mo Cong saw that it was noon, presumably Ling Xiao and the others had not eaten yet, so he immediately lowered his head and asked, "General Ling, you are already hungry, I will let people prepare meals!"
"Hmm!"
Ling Xiao smiled and nodded, full of insubordination ability.
Under the leadership of Mo Cong, the group came to the main hall.
Of course, there were many people in the Sword Sect, and there was only one table in the main hall, so Mo Cong was asking for Ling Xiao's opinion and leading the others to the backyard.
There were only a few people left.
That's when --
An old man in plain clothes, trembling his legs, ran to Ling Xiao and said respectfully: "Welcome General Ling, Xu You, the housekeeper in the General's Mansion!"
"Butler?"
Ling Xiao squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the old man carefully.
Although the old man was dressed plainly, his face was full of redness, and it seemed that in this mansion, he was full of private pockets behind his back, and he must have eaten a lot of silver!
Otherwise, how could this old man live such a glorious life, and his superficial clothes were just to cover the eyes and ears of others.
But the careful thinking in the old man's heart, how could he hide it from Ling Xiao.
"Yes, General Ling!"
The old man nodded and promised, not knowing that he was in danger.
"Xu You, are you guilty?"
Ling Xiao's face suddenly sank, and he shouted angrily at the old man.
This loud shout frightened Zilan and Ouyang Ning'er's faces drastically, and they didn't understand why Ling Xiao wanted to cure the old man's sins?
However, the Ruthless Elder smiled indifferently, obviously seeing the situation.
When the old man heard this, his face suddenly turned stunned, and he felt extremely frightened, and his legs trembled.
At this time, with a plop, he immediately knelt down in front of Ling Xiao, hit his forehead the ground, and cried: "General Ling, I don't know what my crime is!"
"General Ling, I have always been conscientious in the mansion, and I have never done anything against the mansion... I beg the general to be gracious!"
The old man snorted and cried, like crying dad and calling mother.
Seeing that Xu Yu still didn't admit his crime, Ling Xiao suddenly shouted, "Someone!"
The two soldiers at the door immediately rushed in and arched their hands towards Ling Xiao: "General!"
"Pull Xu You out and behead the public, if anyone dares to fill his own pockets in the future, there will be no mercy!"
Ling Xiao said in a fierce voice.
"Yes, General!"
The two soldiers took the order and replied loudly.
Xu You's face changed drastically when he heard this, and his heart was extremely shocked.
I never expected that I had done so rigorously, and I was actually seen by the new general at a glance that I had done something to enrich my own pockets.
Suddenly, he remembered what the general had just said: "Behead the public!".
Suddenly, he felt incomparably frightened in his heart, and hurriedly bent over, slammed his forehead to the ground again, and cried and pleaded: "General, the slave knows that he is wrong... The minions know it's wrong!"
"Minion, take out the silver ticket!"
Xu You already had blood stains on his forehead, but he didn't feel pain at all at this time, but racked his brains in order to save his life.
He took out all the silver tickets in his arms, presented them with both hands, and handed them to Ling Xiao.
"General, that's all I take!"
Xu You's face was full of tears and he said tremblingly.
Ling Xiao looked at Xu Yu with disdain, stretched out his hand to take the silver ticket, and when he looked at the amount on the silver ticket, his eyes suddenly lit up with golden light.
"Ten thousand taels of silver, oh my God!"
Ling Xiao couldn't help but be excited in his heart, with this silver tael, he also saved himself from going to the mountains again to catch pheasants and eat them.
"Dafa!"
Ling Xiao was secretly happy, but he didn't expect that he would bluff and blow up, and actually squeeze out the money that Xu Yu had filled his pockets.
"Well, this old thing is not a good person, and since the silver ticket has arrived in my hand, it is naturally mine!"
Ling Xiao suddenly thought of taking this 10,000 taels of silver bills as his own.
"Xu You, you are so bold, you dare to do such a dirty thing in the General's Mansion, are you guilty?"
Ling Xiao's face was expressionless, and of course he had to point to Xu You's guilt.
"Xu Yu confessed... Xu Yu is guilty!"
Xu You sat on the ground, his face was like ashes, his eyes were distracted, and he muttered.
"Well, since you are guilty, I read that you are still old, and the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped!"
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, put on a benevolent appearance, and shouted.
Listening to the general let himself live, and then crawled and knelt in Lingxiao, Xu You suddenly burst into gratitude.
"General Xie!"
"Drive Xu You out of the General's Mansion, from now on, you are not allowed to enter the mansion, if you step into it, you will be killed!"
Ling Xiao raised his hand and pointed at Xu You, and shouted at the two soldiers.
"Yes, General!"
The two soldiers lifted Xu You up like a dead dog and dragged him out of the main hall.
"General Xie's righteousness, I promise to remember it for the rest of my life, and I can't repay it!"
In the courtyard, there was a voice of great gratitude.
When the voice fell, Ouyang Ning'er and Zi Luo's faces were shocked, and they looked at Ling Xiao with wide eyes.
Then--
"General, the meal is ready!"
Mo Cong's voice came from the door.
"Come in!"
Ling Xiao shouted towards the door.
"Yes!"
Mo Cong, who was standing at the door, walked in with eight maids.
Each maid has a plate of dishes in her hand, which looks full of color, flavor and taste, and makes people drool.
The eight maids placed the dishes in their hands on the table one by one, stood in a row, and timidly bowed their heads and shouted, "General, please eat!"
"Let's get out first!"
Ling Xiao waved his hand at the eight maids.
"Yes, General!"
The eight maids lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Ling Xiao, so they all turned around and walked towards the door.
"General, subordinates retire!"
Mo Cong is self-aware and doesn't want to disturb the general's meal.
"Don't follow, slow down!"
Ling Xiao beckoned and hurriedly shouted.
"I wonder what else the general commands?"
Mo asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"You tell me about the general's mansion in detail!"
Ling Xiao walked to the side of the round table as he spoke, and stretched out his hand to signal Elder Ruthless, Ouyang Ning'er, and Senior Sister Zilan to sit down.
The Heartless Elder smiled and sat down at the top of the round table.
The four of them sat down in the blink of an eye, eating and listening to Mo Cong's explanation of the situation in the mansion.
After Ling Xiao and the others finished eating, Mo Cong finished speaking.
"What did I say, that Xu You, no wonder he could be greedy for so much silver, fortunately I found out early, otherwise the entire general's mansion would have been eaten up by his moth!"
Ling Xiao lowered his head and muttered to himself.
"General, do you want to take Xu Yu down?"
Mo Cong asked cautiously.
"No need, I've kicked him out of the General's Mansion and I'll never see him again. ”
Ling Xiao let go and said lightly.
"Huh?"
Mo Cong was shocked in his heart, but he didn't expect the general to discover Xu You's crime so quickly.
And the general is young, less than 20 years old, how can he find evidence of Xu You's corruption?
I was puzzled, and I was also shocked by what the general did.
