The smile on Xiao Bai's face froze little by little, and then slowly faded away, like this quiet and solemn atmosphere, which made people feel suffocated

Xu Beiyou's tail finger trembled slightly, and then his entire palm began to tremble, and if you listen carefully, you can even hear his bones gurgling. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Beiyou has seen many masters of the Earth Immortal Realm, but it is the first time to face the coercion of the Earth Immortal Realm alone, unlike the sneak attack of the Southern Ghost Emperor, which caught him off guard and had no time to react, this time Xiao Bai put his own momentum on Xu Beiyou's body little by little, so that he could understand what the Earth Immortal Realm was from the deepest depths.

At this time, Xu Beiyou felt as if he had returned to his powerless childhood, and he had to use his own strength to carry a burden heavier than himself, and the pressure could be imagined, almost crushing him to death.

Tang Banyan Tree, who was close at hand, frowned slightly, stretched out her hand and patted Xu Beiyou, Xu Beiyou's body shook suddenly, as if he had shaken off the burden of Qianjun, and suddenly became relaxed.

Xu Beiyou's expression on his face remained unchanged, but his back was already soaked.

Xiao Bai glanced at Tang Banyan who was secretly making a move, and a faint smile bloomed on his face again, and said, "Beiyou, do you want this king to give you an explanation?"

Xu Beiyou leaned forward slightly, still respectfully and said, "Please Your Highness Haihan." ”

Xiao Bai nodded, "Okay, then the king will give you and everyone here an explanation." ”

"Bring people in to this king!" Xiao Bai raised his voice suddenly.

The pro-army commander standing behind Xiao Bai said in a loud voice: "Bring it in!"

In a few moments, more than a dozen soldiers escorted an official in official robes into the courtyard, but this official had long since lost his usual majesty, only an indescribable embarrassment remained, the official hat on his head had been removed, his cloak was scattered, his face was full of dirt, and he was even put on an iron lock and wooden shackle.

After the armorers knelt in front of Xiao Bai, one of the leading armorers knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said, "Your Highness, the prisoner has been brought." ”

Xiao Bai hummed softly.

After the armor retreated, Xiao Bai said lightly: "Report your official title to this king." ”

The man kowtowed and said, "Li Xiang, the transfer envoy of Qizhou, the lower official, pays a visit to His Royal Highness the King of Qi." ”

Xiao Bai took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his hands, and asked casually, "Do you know why I brought you here?"

"Next...... The lower officials are stupid. Li Xiang kowtowed to death, not daring to raise his head for half a minute, "Please make it clear to Your Highness." ”

"Stupid?" Xiao Bai smiled and said, "What a dull, then the king will let you open your mind." ”

Jiang Bin, the governor of the Jiangnan Secret Guard Mansion, slowly got up and came behind Xiao Bai.

Because the Dark Guard Mansion belongs directly to the emperor, they can ignore the power of the ministers and the powerful, but there is a bottom line, that is, the people in the royal family must not be lightly touched, Xiao Bai, as the most likely person to inherit the unification, is naturally also the young master of the Dark Guard Mansion, as long as the real master emperor does not speak clearly, the Dark Guard Mansion will never dare to refuse the order of the young master.

Because of this, Xiao Bai was subject to the regulations of the vassal king and could not easily interfere in the important affairs of the local military and politics, but the Secret Guard Mansion was an exception for him.

Xiao Bai said with a smile: "Jiang Bin, I heard that you used to be the commander of the prison in the edict, I don't know if you are unfamiliar with your skills?"

Jiang Bin bent down and said, "Weichen will never let His Highness down. ”

Xiao Bai raised his chin, "This errand is handed over to you." ”

Jiang Bin straightened his waist slightly, and said softly, "Your Highness Xie." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Bin had already appeared in front of Li Xiang, stretching out his five fingers and pressing on his head.

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "Master Li, I'm offended." ”

Li Xiang was so shocked that he said hoarsely: "Your Highness, Your Highness...... Your Highness spared the official. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Bin had already made a move, and wisps of black aura extended from his five fingers to Li Xiang's body, Li Xiang's eyes suddenly bulged outward, and the meridians under his skin bulged, writhing like snakes and insects, which was extremely terrifying.

Jiang Bin said unhurriedly: "Master Li, this is my unique punishment, I can't die, but I have to suffer a little, after the whole set of punishments is used up, the bones in your body are estimated to lose seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and you can probably only lie down for the rest of your life." ”

At this time, Li Xiang was speechless, but his mouth grew up, and a meaningless hoarse voice came out of his throat.

Jiangnan Secret Guard Mansion is known as the first branch, Jiang Bin, as the person in charge of Jiangnan Secret Guard Mansion, is naturally quite good at realm cultivation, especially good at playing all kinds of side tricks, to a certain extent, he is a fierce and vicious cool official, which is very in line with the world's impression of the Dark Guard Mansion.

Xiao Bai casually discarded the hand towel used to wipe his hands, ignored Li Xiang anymore, turned to look at Xu Beiyou, and said: "This dynasty has been founding for fifty years, sweeping away the disadvantages of the previous dynasty, and creating today's prosperous world, but everything is the opposite of things, prosperous and arrogant, rich and luxurious, arrogant and lazy, extravagant and greedy, greedy and corrupt, this is the law of eternal change, all dynasties and dynasties cannot avoid the word corruption, and this dynasty is naturally the same." ”

The whole courtyard was silent, and it was said that whitewashing the peace was the first priority, obviously no one thought that King Qi would expose his scars, if he was stabbed out by someone with a heart, even if he was a dignified King of Qi, he could not be reprimanded by the saint.

Xiao Bai looked around slightly, and then said: "Li Xiang, a small transfer envoy, he dares to embezzle a huge deficit of 400,000 taels of silver, what kind of official is the transfer envoy? Seeing that the guards guarding the gate of the imperial city were about to salute, the eight kings in the Taiqing Pool were all bigger than him, but such a sesame mung bean official, with such a big courage, such a big appetite, and such ruthless means, this king really didn't dare to think about how many people were in his hands and how much silver he dug up from the treasury of those feudal officials who were bigger than him. ”

Xiao Bai looked at Xu Beiyou: "Beiyou, you are right, and you are right, where does this silver go is a big problem, so this king has two errands this time, one is a clear purpose, and the other is a secret purpose, the clear purpose is to raise money and food for disaster relief, and the secret purpose is to check these officials, turn out their hearts, livers and lungs, and put them in the sun to dry to see how many people's hearts are black." ”

Xu Beiyou bowed his head and said, "Your Highness Shengming." ”

Xiao Bai walked to Xu Beiyou's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Anti-corruption is a big deal, and it can't be rushed, and it can't be delayed." It's like using medicine to cure a disease, the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a thread, you silver is a life-sustaining ginseng, and you can't slow it down, Li Xiang is a corrupt villain, he can't be in a hurry, everything must be prioritized and prioritized, don't you say this reason?"

Xu Beiyou nodded, without any objections.

At this time, Jiang Bin withdrew the palm pressed on the top of Li Xiang's head, and Li Xiang was soft and collapsed like a puddle of mud, with more air in and less air out.

Xiao Bai smiled, let go of Xu Beiyou's shoulder, and said: "There is no trivial matter in the country, everything that involves the national body, no matter how small it is, it is a big matter, it is said that the clan and the country are the same body, but the first emperor also said that this world is the world of the people of the world after all, not the world of my Xiao family, the people of the world are in charge of the affairs of the world, even if the saint is alive, he can't find fault." ”

Grace and power are combined, and rigidity and softness are combined.

Xu Beiyou secretly sighed in his heart, Aunt Qin and they still underestimated this King of Qi after all, he used the middle strategy, but the middle strategy of the King of Qi was more than a step higher than the middle strategy given by Qin Mumian.

This King Qi's methods are clever.

Xu Beiyou was still like this, and the others present felt a chill in their backs.

That is, the king of Qi dared to say these words, and for other people, it has long been regarded as a great rebellion.

Many people understand in their hearts that the heirs of the Xiao family are thin, not to mention those side branches, the orthodox lineage has been a single lineage for many years, and it can't be moved lightly, when the first emperor and Emperor Wuzu were almost a father and son broke up because of the matter of the empress dowager, but in the end, the father and son were reconciled as before, and it was really because of this one son-in-law, don't you really want to kill himself from incense?

As for the Wei King Xiao Jin, because of the royal blood of the previous dynasty, or other unspeakable reasons, he was hated and guarded by Emperor Wuzu and the first emperor, although it was orthodox, but it was excluded from the core all the year round, which was a special case.

Now the saint also knows the age of the destiny of heaven, and it is said that life is rare for seventy years, looking at the Xiao family, there is no male who can live to the age of the ancient, according to this law, the time of the saint today is not too much, Xiao Bai, as the only adult prince, as long as he does not commit the crime of rebellion, there will be no difference.

Xiao Bai's words have come to this point, Xu Beiyou heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and said in a deep voice: "Xu is willing to pledge 500,000 taels." ”
