The more flying money was placed on the table, the angrier Yan Li became, and the murderous look in his eyes became heavier.

"The wine and meat stinks of Zhumen have frozen bones. Have you heard of this poem?"

The prefect and the governor felt that Yan Li's tone was wrong, and secretly complained in their hearts. You shouldn't have donated money to him as soon as you came up just now, you have to touch your mouth first.

"I don't know why Yan Yushi recited this poem?" the governor said cheekily.

Yan Li turned around suddenly, his face was flushed, his eyes were shining brightly, and his knife-sharpened face was extremely stern. The two of them thumped in their hearts: it's over, they hit the tip of the knife! The censor here is an upright official who loves the people like a son!

But the look of panic ran across their faces in an instant. If there is no backer in the capital, they would not dare to be so greedy. Their backer is many times more powerful than Yan Li! Even the Empress Empress who came with Yan Li is incomparable.

"Now the disaster victims outside are hungry, sick, dying, and fleeing. Don't you feel ashamed that you are making a fortune at this time?"

The eunuch seemed to think Yan Li's words were funny, and Nunu said, "We take what we should, so why not be ashamed!"

Yan Li was choked by the prefect's words, unable to speak for a while. How can there be such shameless and thick-skinned officials in the world! How did the Minister of the Ministry of Officials select talents at the beginning

"Should I take it? What does it mean to take it? Can the prefect explain something to me?" Yan Li was stunned and then angry, wishing he could go over and stab the prefect's stomach right now.

"The money and grain are in the official warehouse, of course they belong to us, why don't we take what we have? Only by raising us can we better manage those untouchables!" The eunuch's nose and mouth showed a scornful brilliance, "Hmph, who made them reincarnate badly? , put into an ordinary peasant family, it is God’s will to starve to death, we have nothing to do with it.”

The governor also smiled and said: "My lord, the prefect is right. Who can we save so many victims of the disaster? It is better to let them fend for themselves. Natural selection, who can survive this disaster, who can survive the disaster?" Those who are the best are worthy of living in this world. Only people like us are worthy of living in this world."

Yan Li clenched his vinegar bowl-sized fists tightly, as hard as a rock, and a cold light shot out from his eyes. Li Hai has such an official, this is his sorrow!

Yan Li swished a punch and hit the table of the Eight Immortals, bang! The table creaked like it was about to break a leg. The loud voice frightened the faces of the two senior officials.

"You...Yan Yushi, what do you want to do?" The governor felt his tongue knotted.

"Keeping you scumbags will only harm the people. I was ordered to come out this time, on the one hand for disaster relief, and on the other hand to fight corruption. I will arrest all of you corrupt officials in the capital, and let the court civil and military judge you crime!"

"Where is it coming!"

This time Li Hai sent more than a thousand imperial guards to protect Rong Chang'an, with Song Qiang as the commander. As soon as they heard Yan Li's order, a dozen imperial guards outside walked in with big strides. Everyone is full of energy, everyone is tall and burly, and the prefect and governor look at it, and their legs tremble unavoidably.

"Put these two corrupt officials in prison, and face the Holy Spirit together when we return to Beijing!"

"Decree!"

The imperial army was about to arrest the prefect and the governor, but the prefect suddenly changed his expression, pointed at Yan Li and glared at him.

"Yan Yushi, don't go too far! Just now, Mr. Inspector and I have tolerated you for the sake of you being an imperial envoy sent by the emperor, but you are like a bull-nosed man who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and pushes forward! I warn you, if you Arrest us, Yan Yushi, your official career will come to an end!"

It was clearly a fox pretending to be a tiger, Yan Li already knew that he was someone in the court, so he dared to be so presumptuous. But they also miscalculated Yan Li's determination to punish corrupt officials.

He smiled coldly, and stared sharply at the unattractive prefect in front of him. Although he was only five feet long, with a slightly hunchbacked back, thin and small, he spoke so arrogantly and domineeringly!

"Not only will I arrest you, but I will also confiscate your home, sell all of your home, and then use it to help the disaster victims!"

Yan Li's words hit the sore spot of the prefect and the governor. Their family property is no less than one million, and it was all stolen by tyranny over the years. If it is confiscated, their hard work in the officialdom over the years will be in vain!

"Yan Li, you... aren't you afraid that we will retaliate against you?" The governor pointed at Yan Li and cursed.

Yan Li snorted coldly.

"Are you going to tell me next time, who is your backstage boss?" Yan Li suddenly raised his head and laughed, "Haha, you can do anything wrong just by relying on someone in the court! Let me tell you, I, Yan Li, rolled my eyes. No sand, seeing how arrogant you are today, I have to punish you!"

Both the governor and the prefect are officials personally appointed by the emperor. Without the emperor's will, no one can advocate for the disposal of officials of these ranks. So they are a little bit reckless.

"How... How to punish?" The governor and the prefect asked in unison.

Zheng! Yan Li pulled out the sword in his hand, and with a click, chopped off a corner of the Eight Immortals Table, his face was gloomy, and his body was full of murderous intent.

"Kill without mercy!"

When the imperial army heard Yan Li's words, they immediately went over to help the prefect and governor up.

"Yan Li, we are the Empress Dowager's people, if you dare to touch a single hair of our hair, I will let you die without a place to bury you!"

Yan Li's tiger body shook slightly. No wonder they are so domineering, it turns out the backstage boss is the Queen Mother! The queen mother is the one who holds the real power today. Li Hai is just a puppet to put it bluntly. Many officials in the capital, as well as officials assigned to various places, almost half of them are the Queen Mother's people. If Yan Li killed these two people, he would have stabbed a hornet's nest, and the consequences can be imagined.

The sword in Yan Li's hand fell slowly, and the anger and murderous aura just now gradually subsided. He bowed his head and pondered, thinking about the pros and cons.

When the Imperial Forest Army heard the Queen Mother's name, they immediately withdrew their hands.

Seeing the changes in front of them, the prefect and governor were excited. The prefect rubbed his hands, a smug smile curled up on the corner of his mouth, and Mi looked contemptuously at the motionless Yan Li.

"Yan Yushi, you know we belong to the Queen Mother, are you afraid?"

The governor snorted, sat back on the chair, took a sip of tea slowly, and slightly raised his eyes to look at Yan Li.

"Master Yan, do you still want to raid our home and chop off our heads? If you do this, you will only let us die with you. What's the point of doing this? Why don't we turn our fights into jades?"

The governor winked at the prefect. The prefect went over and stuffed the flying money on the table into Yan Li's hands.
