Chapter 272: Eating Watermelon for the Last Time

The housekeeper listened to Huang Liji say that he had played so much, and this feeling became more and more flustered.

He suddenly remembered someone, and couldn't help but curse with hatred: "Master, didn't Hong Chengchou say that he is also capable?" Now it seems to be a waste. ”

Huang Liji sneered even more when he heard this: "Hong Chengchou? What kind of thing is he, the last time the direct campers dared to ask His Majesty for that kind of new firearm, and he didn't want to think about the little thing they were doing in the west, could His Majesty rest assured of him? ”

"Such a powerful firearm is the foundation of His Majesty's army, how could he give Hong Chengchou such a thing."

"This Hong Chengchou has repaid a lot of credit, and the bandits have also killed a lot, but why are there still more and more thieves in the Shaanxi Political Envoy Division, have you ever thought about the problem here?"

"If you can figure out the key to this, you should understand why the Shaanxi political envoy sent so many silver taels to the old man."

This housekeeper is quite smart, and after Huang Liji's mention, he figured out the key.

I only saw the housekeeper hesitantly said: "Could it be that the situation on the side of the Shaanxi Political Envoy is so bad, because although Hong Chengchou and these civil and military officials have killed many rebels, the more silver taels they are greedy." ”

"The people can't live this life anymore, and the more bandits rise up, so no matter how much credit they make, it is meaningless."

"Because they will never be able to sweep away the bandits of the Shaanxi Political Envoy Division, unless the people of the Shaanxi Political Envoy Division are dead."

The housekeeper was right, but Huang Liji didn't have the heart to praise him.

He just said with emotion: "Your nickname is true, but that Hongchentao is just a grain transport officer, even if he has made a lot of contributions, but after all, it is not too big a role, the most important thing is the political envoy of the Shaanxi Political Envoy Division, the envoy according to the inspection, and the commander of the envoy." ”

The more Huang Liji thought about it, the bigger he felt about it, he knew that he couldn't drag it out any longer, and if it dragged on any longer, he couldn't say that the head on his neck had already been booked by His Majesty.

"You hurry up and put these silver taels in the box, I will go into the palace to meet Your Majesty and explain this matter to Your Majesty."

The butler also thought of the legends he had heard, and knew how His Majesty dealt with the insatiable ministers, and how he dealt with the ministers who had committed crimes.

He was also frightened on the spot, if Huang Liji fell into bad luck, as Huang Liji's housekeeper, he would definitely not be as good as a dog for the rest of his life, and he would have to be buried with him.

He hurriedly beckoned the family members at home, and packed all the treasures and silver sent by the Shaanxi political envoy into a box, which was full of several large boxes.

Huang Liji felt that it was too ostentatious to put it on the carriage like this, so he ordered the housekeeper to put these treasures into the covered carriage.

Huang Liji took several carriages and rushed to the palace.

After passing through the ceremony, Zhu Youxiao asked him to leave his things and go to the imperial garden alone.

When he met Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao was by the lake, eating chilled watermelon.

In the past two years, whether it is the chaotic party in the palace or in the court, it has been swept away by Zhu Youxiao.

Now there are basically no more people who can let him accidentally enter the water again, so he feels that he can do it again, and he no longer is afraid of water.

It's just that if anyone is persuading him to go boating in the lake now, then he will definitely not dare.

Not only did he not dare, but he also plucked the heads of those who persuaded him to go boating in the lake.

At this time, the two concubines on the left and right were waiting for him carefully, and even the watermelon seeds were picked for him.

At this time, the breeze came, and there were bursts of water waves in the lake, with beautiful women on the side and watermelons in hand, which can be described as a winner in life.

Zhu Youxiao saw Huang Liji's arrival, and asked his eunuch to tell Huang Liji that he had brought a piece of watermelon.

But Huang Liji is in no mood to eat watermelon now, he just wants to end this matter for him as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when His Majesty's army rushes to the west, and the officials of the Shaanxi Political Envoy Department are taken away, and then find out what account books are sent back to the imperial court, the initiative will not be in the hands of Huang Liji.

At that time, as long as His Majesty holds the account book in his hand, he knows that the officials of the Shaanxi Political Envoy Department he has accepted have sent so many silver taels, and whether he can cut off his head or not, it is only in His Majesty's thoughts.

Immediately, Huang Liji showed a somewhat wry smile on his face.

In the past two years, when will the game between these ministers and Zhu Youxiao really be able to grasp the initiative?

Huang Liji was thinking about this, and the expression on his face kept changing.

The eunuchs and concubines on the left also felt secretly funny when they saw Huang Liji's appearance.

A concubine next to her whispered in Zhu Youxiao's ear: "Your Majesty, this Huang Ge old man came here to see Your Majesty, but he didn't speak, and he was here to show His Majesty's face!" ”

Zhu Youxiao also felt funny when he heard it, but why his Huang Liji came here today, he also guessed that he was not far from ten.

Huang Liji is a smart man.

The army he sent to the west had been walking for more than half a month, and Huang Liji should have guessed it a long time ago if he could have guessed it.

As a result, he came a few days later than Zhu Youxiao imagined, which made Zhu Youxiao feel a little disappointed.

Huang Liji held the watermelon in his hand, squeezed out a wry smile on his face, and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, the old minister came here today because he has something to confess to Your Majesty. ”

After saying this, the gorgeous crisis trended, and then took off the black gauze hat on his head in front of the feet of the Guile pig, kowtowed to the pig's waist, and there was a little choking in his words.

"Lao Chen can't be cautious all these years, and he has also made a big mistake, Lao Chen is here today for His Majesty's young people, Lao Chen......

But before he finished his words, Zhu Rongxiao had already raised his head, preventing him from wanting to continue his words.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him, still nibbling on the chilled watermelon in his hand.

This ice is stored in the ice cellar in winter, the cost can be said to be very high, ordinary people have no way to enjoy this thing, watermelon is at most to take the cold well water to town it is over.

I only saw that the corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth were still dripping with red watermelon juice, but a somewhat clear smile bloomed on his face, and said: "Huang Aiqing, this matter is not in a hurry, you can eat this watermelon first, it's not good, this time is the last time you will eat watermelon in your life."

After Huang Liji heard this, the watermelon in his hand could no longer be held steadily, and the whole person collapsed to the ground.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
