Chapter Twenty-Nine: Corrupt Officials and Corrupt Officials
Seeing that Willamrock had nothing to say, Darry threw Charlie Bess out of the way and threw him to the ground.
"As for this old thing, there is no distinction between black and white, after we explain the situation clearly, we actually say what we say with confidence, we will give us as much as we want, and there will be no copper coin after daring to object. It's ridiculous, as if he had given us the money for these activities. is really worthy of being a member of the bass family, and he is tough when he speaks. ”
Harry's face is ugly, although the Bess family has always been very strong, but being said to his face like this is still a little unbearable.
At this time, the chief steward, Willamk, walked over with a gloomy face, glaring into Dary's eyes.
"Captain Darui, even if what you said is true, but they are also people from my Qianliangyuan, and if they want to be disciplined, they should also be managed by our Qianliangyuan, you don't have this power. ”
"You guys, you're just a nest of snakes and rats, do your own people take care of your own people? It's ridiculous. ”
"You...... What do you say? What is a nest of snakes and rats, you tell me clearly, or I will go to Your Majesty and sue you. "Finally caught a speech problem in Dary, this old guy hurriedly chased after him and fought fiercely, he really deserves to be an old oilman in officialdom. It's a pity that he met Darui who didn't play cards according to common sense today, and he was destined to be unlucky.
grabbed the money and grain officer, stretched out his foot and stepped on his broken left little finger, and he screamed in pain when he stepped on it, like a pig with its tail chopped off.
"Hey, repeat what you just said, and tell your chief steward. ”
"What...... I don't know what you're talking about?"
"Oh, you're really a noble man who forgets things, and you forgot about it before it was an hour, so I'll remind you. Didn't you just say that when the funds for the activities of our garrison regiment came into your hands, there were only 60 gold coins left? The 140 were deducted by the people above, isn't that so?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the high-level officials of the Qianliang Academy immediately changed greatly, including the chief steward of Willa.
Qian Liangguan was so frightened that his face turned blue, this kind of thing was nothing to say just now, but now he dared to say it in front of the high-level officials. But......
Dary lifted his collar and leaned in front of his face, sneering murderously.
"Say, it's okay, if you have anything to say, say it boldly, if you pretend to be confused, then your hands will be lost. ”
"Darigaia, you are tortured to extract a confession, you ......"
"Torture to extract confessions, you are really right, I just want to force you, such a bad class in officialdom, shouldn't the country's moths force it?"
Willa's old face turned red with anger, and his fingers trembling at Darry, who had obviously never met someone like Darry Gaia who didn't take the rules of officialdom seriously.
At this time, Harry finally spoke, "Daregaia, the chief steward has just said that the affairs of the Qianliang Courtyard are managed by themselves, and you have no right to meddle in the affairs here. If you play tricks again, then we'll have to go to Your Majesty and talk about it. ”
"Yes, Darry Gaia, you don't have the authority to take care of this matter, let him go quickly. ”
Darry looked at them disdainfully, and finally fixed his gaze on Harry's face.
"I said old classmate, it is said that the manager of Willa is old, and it is understandable that his head is not bright. Why are you so forgetful? Have you forgotten the role of my sword?"
The blade was unsheathed, and a long sword with a blade as blue as the sea pointed at Harry's nose.
"Take a closer look at this sword, you people should know its name. ”
"Warrior Sword!"
Steward Willa exclaimed, and her face completely changed color. Even the common people of the imperial capital knew about the battle of the sword, let alone the officials like them. When Emperor Shengqi gave Darui this sword, he gave him the right to manage all government affairs and officials at all levels in the empire. This is not counting, as long as there is absolute evidence to confirm that the other party has committed a capital crime, there is no need to report it at all, and the death penalty can be directly executed, which is a real sense of the first cut and then the prelude.
As soon as they saw this sword, Harry and Willa finally had nothing to say, and the money and food officer was even more frightened, and the last trace of luck in his heart disappeared.
Holding the blade of the sword on the neck of the Qian Liang Officer, Darui's voice was so cold that there was no trace of emotional fluctuations.
"This is the last time I ask you, and it's also your last chance to take the sin and benefit, think about it carefully before answering, otherwise, your fat neck will have to experience the sharpness of the Zhanwu Sword. ”
Cold sweat kept flowing down from Qian Liangguan's face, this is a real life-and-death situation, don't be nervous.
"Say, have the funds for the activities of the garrison regiment been withheld by the people above you?"
"Yes...... Yes, yes!"
"Very well, who is the person above you? is it from your money and grain courtyard?"
"This ......"
Looking at the blade on his neck, Qian Liangguan was so frightened that his tongue was about to roll, it is said that he could never say this kind of thing, but if he doesn't say it now, he will die, and if he says it, there may be a glimmer of life, at least he doesn't have to die now, so ......
"That's right, they're from the Money Grain Academy. ”
"Jefferson, what nonsense are you talking about!" Willa Chief Steward yelled at interrupting the Money Officer, saying his name as well.
"Oh, your name is Jefferson, isn't it? ”
Looking up at Willa's chief steward with a panicked look on his face, the sword in Dary's hand was pointed at him.
"Old fellow, don't be embarrassed, I'm now exercising the rights given to me by His Majesty, and you're not qualified to interrupt. Stand aside for me to be honest, if you interrupt my trial in a moment, then ...... Hmph!"
With a flick of his wrist, a bench made of stone five or six meters away was split in half by Darui's sword qi, and the broken chair slammed into the ground, smashing two pits. Steward Willa was so frightened that he took seven or eight steps back with a pale face, his eyes looking at Darry in horror.
An old bureaucrat like him, it's not realistic to play tricks with him, don't look at him old, he can be in the officialdom for so long and hasn't been kicked off, it shows that this guy knows the way of being an official, and his kung fu is first-class. Although Darui is also very eloquent, it is too difficult to cross the other party in words, so it is better to solve it directly by force, and force is the most effective way to deal with this kind of person.
"Hmph, when you're older, you should be more restrained, so as not to lose the late season. ”
"Jefferson, go on, ah no, write down the names of those people who withheld the garrison's funds, come on, bring him pen and paper. ”
He threw Jefferson over to the table and handed him a pen.
"Write it down to me, don't hide anything, otherwise, whoever you hide will be responsible for him, and think clearly about what the consequences of doing so will be. ”
The situation is getting here, and although Jefferson knows that the consequences of this move will be very serious, if he doesn't write, his own life will be gone. At this time, the selfish side of human beings is completely exposed, the world is big, and their own lives are the greatest, at this moment, as long as they can live, who cares about the lives of others.
Jefferson wrote his confession under the horrified eyes of Willa's chief steward and the officials of the Money and Grain Academy, and the names of the few deductible activity funds were even more emphatically written.
Darui took the confession with satisfaction, "Very good, very good, although your actions deserve to be put to death, for the sake of your confession, I will spare your life." Then you have to do something for me, and if you do it well, I will be able to keep you safe. ”
Hearing this, Jefferson was overjoyed, knowing that the consequences of confessing those people were very serious, and even if Darry didn't kill him, it would be difficult for him to live. Now, when he hears that Darry wants to save his life, it is like suddenly seeing a ray of light in a desperate situation, and he will definitely hold on to it.
"Your Excellency, please command, the little one must do his best. ”
It's really a minion who wields the rudder, but this kind of performance of his is exactly what Darry wants to see.
"Okay, you can identify the person in the confession for me now, even if there is no here, you have to turn it out for me, understand?"
Turning his head and waving his hand at Hans, "You bring someone over, and whoever Jefferson points out, I will arrest whoever dares to resist...... Hey, hey!"
Handing the sword to Hans, Darry's eyes flashed with a cold and fierce light.
"You know what to do, right?"
"Yes! Anyone who resists will be killed!"
As soon as these words came out, the people in the Qianliang Courtyard suddenly panicked. is the so-called no official is not greedy, although it is not necessarily so exaggerated, but now the Qianliangyuan wants to find an official who has not been corrupt, I am afraid it is more difficult than finding a virgin in a nightclub, can they not panic.
"He! he, he, and him!"
Jefferson pointed more and more, looking at the usually high-minded bosses, whose faces were as dead as ashes after being named by himself. His heart actually became proud, as if he had become the person who dominated their life and death, which was very cool.
Hans held the sword of Zhanwu, his eyes stared at the guards of the Qianliang Academy, as long as he found anyone who wanted to resist, he would not hesitate to draw his sword and cut it, and he would also kill him, with Darui and Zhanwu Sword to support him, who was he afraid of.
The Fire Knights, on the other hand, were like wolves rushing into a flock of sheep, and when Jaferson ordered someone, they rushed in and caught one. After being dragged out, he was immediately tied up and thrown aside, and if he was struggling, they would give him a few free kicks, kick the teeth of these officials, and obediently kneel on the ground.
There were five of them, kneeling side by side in the courtyard, and Darry asked Jefferson, "Is it just the five of them?
"This ...... As far as I know, they are the only ones, and I don't know who else is above them. ”
"Nonsense, the garrison regiment only has so much money, how can five people deduct it together?"
Steward Willa, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, spoke again, and there was no way to do it, because these five people were his henchmen and subordinates, and he didn't want them to talk nonsense after being taken away by Dary.
"Really, Jefferson, how much are each of them greedy?"
"My lord, they are not only greedy for the funds this time, but they have not lost the funds of the previous garrison regiment for several years. Counting it, there are 10,000 or 20,000 gold coins per person. ”
"Oh, that's a lot. One or two hundred thousand, these money is enough for the soldiers of a regiment on the front line, half a year's food expenses. Is it true that the front-line soldiers are fighting bloody battles to protect you corrupt officials and corrupt officials?
Darui, who was still unruly, suddenly changed his temperament, and his eyes were red and he roared. Then, before everyone could react, he grabbed the sword in Hans's hand and slashed at the necks of the five corrupt officials.
"Puff puff puff ......"
There were five cutting sounds in a row, and five bloody heads fell to the ground, and blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing the entire courtyard.
"Wow, he actually killed them, ah!"
"Vomit ......"
"He's crazy, he's crazy!"
Screams and vomiting sounded from the crowd, and Harry and Willa looked at Darry dumbfounded, never expecting that Darry would kill these five officials in front of them, which was simply too unexpected.
"Reach ...... Do you know what you just did? They are all high-ranking officials of the Empire, and they are also nobles of the Empire, even if they do commit any crimes, they will not be executed! But you ...... you?"
Shaking off the blood from the blade, Darry's face was full of murderous energy, and he glared at Willa's chief steward.
"What did you just say? High-ranking officials, or nobles? So what? People like them simply don't have to die. Don't you deserve to die if you embezzle the taxes that the people have worked so hard to pay and enjoy the peace brought by the front-line fighters?
Zhan Wu's sword was erected, the tip of the sword pointed at the chief steward of Willa, and the cold murderous aura burst out from Darui's body, and the flat ground seemed to roll up a twelve-level hurricane, blowing those officials with fear, and looking at Darui with round eyes, not to mention accusing Dari's behavior, he didn't even dare to let go of a fart.
"Hmph, I'm just punishing you a little today, remember! If there is such a thing in the future, Zhan Wujian doesn't mind drinking more blood of corrupt officials, understand?"
With that, Darry coolly turned away, and Jefferson followed Darry like a dog, flashing in the arms of the Fire Knights......
Harry watched Darry's departing back, his teeth clenched, and the green tendons on his head jumped and jumped.
"Darigaia, our war is about to begin, don't be complacent, things won't end so easily, you wait!"
