Chapter Twenty-Eight: It's Too Late to Regret Now
At sunset.
Under Li Mao's waiting.
The carriages were fully loaded, and the high-spirited Zhao Gao returned.
Behind the carriage, dozens of warblers and swallows followed.
Behind them were the convicts whose hands were bound by the guards, and their families.
It's all people who didn't come to the court today, and they didn't take the opportunity to escape.
"You're all waiting for me here!"
After Zhao Gao left the others in place, he hurriedly walked into the Hall of Eternal Life.
The palace maids who originally served Li Longji inside have already changed a group of people.
Li Mao didn't want to use those old people.
Who knows if there will be a secret hand left by Li Longji inside.
"Your Majesty, the old slave is fortunate to live up to his life and has completed the task you assigned!"
Zhao Gao ran in small steps.
At the same time, he pretended to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Li Mao nodded, expressionless on his face.
He looked up at the outside of the Hall of Eternal Life before speaking.
"How much money was confiscated in total?"
Zhao Gao didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly spoke.
"Your Majesty, the old slave has raided a total of eighty-eight officials today."
"The other officials who have not been confiscated have already swept up their family property and fled."
As he spoke, Zhao Gao took a step forward and took out the account books that had been prepared long ago.
"A total of three thousand four hundred and eighty-four taels of gold were seized today."
"Silver, seven thousand and twenty-eight taels."
"Copper coins, two hundred and fifty-six thousand seven hundred."
After speaking, Zhao Gao stood aside with anxiety.
Li Mao frowned after hearing this.
This figure is a big difference from the previous budget.
Even if there are only eighty-eight officials left, there shouldn't be only so much money left.
Could it be that they are all clean officials?
With doubts lingering in his mind, Li Mao had no choice but to open the account book.
On the first page, it is written that the income was copied from the prime minister, Niu Cyclamen.
gold, one thousand four hundred thirty-three taels;
silver, one thousand three hundred twenty-five taels;
15,864 copper coins.
"It seems that the cow cyclamen is still a huge greedy!"
After Li Mao's comment, she turned the second page.
is an unknown petty officer.
There are only a few dozen taels of gold and silver in the house.
The same goes for the third page.
Li Mao went directly to the end of the account book, still an unknown petty official.
"Where is Pei Kuan's house?"
Li Mao flipped through it briefly, but he didn't find the list of the No. 2 anti-thief, and he was puzzled in his heart.
The Emperor took the initiative to ask.
Only then did Zhao Gao dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, Pei Kuan's mansion has long been empty."
"The old slave inquired, and he sent someone to take his family away last night."
"At the same time, the sixteenth guard of the Southern Ya was taken away, and the rest of the generals' families."
Li Mao nodded.
Pei Kuan's family fled was not too unexpected.
But if you can run a monk, can you still run a temple?
"Zhao Gao, after you go down later, take someone to arrest all the people in the capital of Wenxi Pei's family."
"Don't kill people for the time being, it's still useful for me to keep it."
Li Mao smiled.
Zhao Gao looked over and only felt that it was very infiltrating.
"The old slave obeys!"
Li Mao nodded, and planned to go back to rest.
"I'm tired, you go down first."
Zhao Gao did not retreat according to his words, but took a step forward.
came to Li Mao's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, the old slave went out of the palace this time, found a lot of fun, and was able to relieve his fatigue." ”
"Your Majesty, do you need to try it?"
Fun?
Li Mao was stunned when she heard this, and turned around.
I only saw that Zhao Gao's face was smiling into a chrysanthemum.
What kind of fun can make a eunuch so happy?
This is ancient times, and there are no games and short videos in later generations.
What kind of dance is it?
Or what's the new tune?
Apart from these two, Li Mao really can't think of any other fun.
"What have you brought to me? Don't take it out quietly yet! ”
"Hmmm......"
Zhao Gao looked at the guard at the door in a hesitant manner.
Li Mao immediately understood what he meant, which was to let himself drive the guards away.
"Get out of the way!"
For Li Mao.
The guards are used to decorate and set off the prestige.
They are not needed to protect at all.
Since the crossing, the physical fitness has been greatly strengthened.
Although he has not tried martial arts with Lu Bubi.
However, Li Mao thinks that there will not be much difference.
An ordinary strong man, as long as he has no weapons, even if there are hundreds of people, he is not afraid.
Aside from the need to guard against crossbow arrows, there is no need to worry about the Assassin stabbing at close quarters.
Therefore, Li Mao was not worried that Zhao Gao would do something wrong.
"The guards are gone, even the palace maids and eunuchs are gone."
"Zhao Gao, if what you say is not fun, then I will punish you for the crime of bullying the king!"
Zhao Gao didn't panic at all.
"Your Majesty, please wait and see!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the Hall of Eternal Life, closing the door gently.
The candle flame flickered.
The hall of eternal life is mixed with light and dark.
Such a scene is the most suitable for filming a "A Piao" movie.
Somehow, Li Mao looked around, and such a strange thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Right now.
There was a sound of footsteps.
Li Mao's ears moved reflexively.
The body also bowed involuntarily.
After about a count, Li Mao judged that there were at least thirty people who came over.
"Could it be that Zhao Gao, a traitor, wants to murder me?"
Just as he was about to call out to the forbidden army, a gust of incense wafted over.
The door of the Hall of Eternal Life was pushed open by a small crack.
One by one, the girls slipped in, swaying in the light and dark candle flames.
Li Mao looked over.
I saw a group of young girls standing in a line, surrounded by fat and thin, because there was everything.
Some girls looked expectant, some wept, and some had hatred in their eyes.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
An extremely plump girl walked out of the queue and came to Li Mao, slowly taking off her palace clothes, revealing her white shoulders.
Seeing this, Li Mao couldn't help but scold Zhao Gao in his heart.
This old gelding, where did you find so many young girls?
And all of them are beautiful.
Just as he was secretly guessing, the other girls followed suit.
In this meeting, even Li Mao, who often chose concubines in the Southern Hotel in her previous life, couldn't help it.
The women in the hotel are all broken flowers and willows.
If it weren't for the difficulty of finding a few people to fight with, Li Mao would not have gone to the hotel to play.
In her previous life, Li Mao's physical fitness was also very high.
Ordinary two or three women are no match for him.
Now after the crossing, it is estimated that twenty or thirty women are still not his opponents.
However, Li Mao is a person, and he can't do anything to force women.
Seeing that there were several women in front of him who looked like they were going to die, Li Mao had no choice but to suppress the excitement in her heart.
"Who are you?"
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"If you regret it, it's too late!"
"I'm not a womanizer, so let's put on my clothes."
Li Mao's eyes were clear, and there was no desire in his eyes.
