After My Mind Was Read, the Entire Court Trembled

Shen Zhiyi transmigrated and became the Emperor's Chamberlain for Diaries, dedicated to recording the Emperor's words and actions. Unfortunately, the Emperor was an old man, so Shen Zhiyi c...

Chapter 209: Yang Zhubu, Worse than a Beast

Those who do business like to monopolize business.

Yang Zhubu came to his inn to buy wine on credit, but he agreed that all the wine for the county government would be purchased from him for the next two years.

This is not a small amount of income.

But it’s impossible for these bosses to tell Shen Zhiyi.

Shen Zhiyi didn’t need him to say anything.

[The owner of this inn has really been fooled. 】

She looked at the boss and pretended to be indifferent and said, "Then Chief Yang will only look for your store."

"How should I know that?"

[You know, that Yang Zhubu found a lot of wine sellers in the county town, so the total amount is five thousand taels of silver. ]

"Pfft, cough, cough, cough."

After the old emperor and his entourage heard Shen Zhiyi’s inner voice, they coughed a few times in shock.

The Minister of Industry hesitated and said, "Sir, this doesn't seem right."

Where can I find so many people selling alcohol, and selling so much on credit?

"Wait and see."

Let’s see what Shen Zhiyi will dig out.

[Host, I discovered something. The people you met today all secretly met with that Yang Zhubu.]

Shen Zhiyi’s first reaction was, there’s a melon.

[There must be something shameful inside, let me see. ]

She started to turn on the surveillance camera and looked directly at Yang Zhubu.

You won’t know until you see it. Once you see it, you will be furious.

[Fuck, this is nothing, this is simply a beast. ]

[This Yang Zhubu has met with at least hundreds of families. What these people have in common is that they have a little savings at home, but their lives are indeed ordinary. So he found these people and offered them some targeted benefits on behalf of the county government. However, these benefits require money to do something, and will be returned later.]

[Bah, you're not going back the same way, you just swallowed the silver. ]

[These bosses also resell the more expensive wines directly. ]

The old emperor and his entourage were a little stunned, obviously they had never seen such an operation before.

He had seen many means of corruption, but this was the first time he had seen such a thing.

The old emperor patted the newly appointed Minister of Personnel and said, "Have you seen it?"

“First time hearing this.”

[There was also the couple that the old emperor met today. Haha, that Yang Zhubu said that the county would help renovate his house, but it would cost fifty taels of silver, so the couple went to borrow money from their relatives, but the fifty taels of silver were swallowed up directly.]

"Bang!"

The old emperor slapped everything on the table to the ground.

"It's just a beast."

【It’s worse than animals. 】

Shen Zhiyi was furious and began to think about how to tell the old emperor about this without anyone knowing.

Usually, just eat some melons and have fun.

But if she was doing this just for fun this time, then she'd be a complete jerk.

So much money was all cheated away by that Yang Zhubu, she couldn't deceive herself and not know about it.

[How should I tell the old emperor? ]

Shen Zhiyi went back with this headache.

He just happened to run into the newly appointed Minister of Personnel who was hurrying downstairs.

"Uh, where are you going?"

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel grabbed Shen Zhiyi’s shoulders and turned around.

"Let's go to the county government office."

Shen Zhiyi retracted his foot that was about to go upstairs and followed the steps of the newly appointed Minister of Personnel.

"What are you doing at the county government office?"

"I think the county magistrate of He County is a little weird. Let's go take a look."

Shen Zhiyi’s eyes lit up, and he nodded fiercely behind the other person.

[Look, hurry over and take a closer look. ]

[That Yang Zhubu dared to defraud the common people's money so arrogantly, so he must have a backer behind him. ]

Shen Zhiyi's high emotions disappeared instantly after seeing the horse.

The horse ridden by the newly appointed Minister of Personnel was very tall, and it made her afraid of heights.

"What? Let me drive you?"

Shen Zhiyi shook his head.

[How dare I? ]

"Chen Lang can sit here with me."

The one who spoke was An Qi.

No one knows how many people from the Dragon Scale Guard came this time (except the old emperor and Shen Zhiyi), but An Qi and An Jiu are there in public anyway.

An Jiu was left with the old emperor, and An Qi followed.

Shen Zhiyi was about to take An Qi's hand, but changed his mind.

[I am now a man to the outside world. It would be terrible if An Jiu saw me.]

So Shen Zhiyi politely declined An Qi.

[Alas, I am really worried about the love between these two and I am willing to sacrifice myself. ]

The corners of the new Minister of Personnel's mouth twitched violently for a moment.

It's really a great sacrifice.

The three of them arrived at the county government office in He County and happened to watch a play.

"If you don't let me in, I'll die here."

【Oh, what’s going on? What’s going on?】

Shen Zhiyi excitedly pushed down the head of the newly appointed Minister of Personnel.

Why is he so tall? He's blocking her from watching the fun.

The bailiff guarding the county government office looked at the old woman who threatened to hit her to death with disdain.

"You old hag, you come to the county government office to cause trouble all day long. If it weren't for the kindness of the county magistrate, you would have been thrown into jail long ago."

The old woman took out a kitchen knife, stared fiercely at the gate of the county government office, and shouted, "Yang, you come out here. If you don't come out, I will tell you all the ugly things you have done, and then I will kill you with a knife. I want to see if there is still justice in this world."

[The old woman was seriously ill and had to pay a large sum of money for medical treatment every month. All this money was paid by the family's only son and his daughter-in-law.]

[This family was exactly what Yang Zhubu was targeting, so he came to the old lady's house and said that the county government would pay for the old lady's medical expenses every month, but she would also have to spend money to buy something, which would be returned in due time. In this way, he directly cheated the old lady's family out of 60 taels of silver.]

The sixty taels of silver were partly saved by the family and partly borrowed from relatives.

For an ordinary family, this is indeed a considerable amount of money.

After hearing this, An Qi secretly cursed that Yang Zhubu was really a piece of shit.

She had seen people who were corrupt, and many of them had their property confiscated from her personally.

But this is the first time I've seen this.

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel got off his horse, stated his identity and took the old woman in.

[Oh my god, he is worthy of being the Minister of Personnel. He does things without any procrastination.]

He County had never seen such a high-ranking official.

The bailiffs present at the scene were so weak in their knees that they hurriedly led the three people to the guest reception room to sit down.

"Where is the county magistrate of your county?"

"In reply to the Shangshu, I have sent someone to call the county magistrate, and he will be here soon."

[I know, I know. The magistrate of He County is currently in a brothel with many beauties.]

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel sneered.

The yamen runners present broke out in cold sweats.

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel looked at the old woman and whispered, "Old woman, why are you standing outside the county government office looking for death?"

When the old woman heard this, she knelt down immediately.

"Oh Lord God, you have to make the decision for us!"
