System, help me become the empress

Chapter 143 The royal driver's personal conquest is ready! (two in one)

After Xu Youxi and others rushed over, the soldiers surrounding Jiao Jiuyuan still had no intention of retreating.

"Whose soldier are you?"

The firearms soldiers behind Xu Youxi automatically lined up in three rows, a standard combat team, and the dark gun holes began to point at these soldiers.

"We are the personal soldiers of the chief envoy, and we are ordered by the chief envoy to arrest the prisoner! Please don't interfere with the case."

"Prisoner?!"

Surrounded by soldiers, Jiao Jiuyuan still opened his arms, and while protecting the two people behind him, he shouted anxiously: "Boss, these two are public school teachers, and there is absolutely no way they are the criminals they are talking about."

Xu Youxi was reminded by Jiao Jiuyuan, only to realize that there seemed to be two young men and women behind Jiao Jiuyuan's fat body.

Public school teacher?

Bullying banks, restricting newspapers, and now even public school teachers are being arrested as prisoners?
Very well, the Hunan chief envoy probably thought she was dead!

Xu Youxi laughed angrily: "What crime did these two people commit?"

The leader of this personal army nodded proudly: "Of course it's a big crime! Who are you? Are you going to cover up these two people?"

Xu Youxi lost his temper: "Very good, Xu Ling, arrest all these people."

"We are the personal soldiers of the chief envoy, why are we being arrested?" the team leader thought it was inconceivable.

"Nonsense! Of course it's because you have committed a serious crime, otherwise why would you be arrested. Why do you ask this, is it to cover yourself?"

Xu Youxi used his own way to treat his own body.

"..."

There are only four or fifty soldiers in this army, and it is not possible for everyone to have a saber. Compared with the guards with all guns, their combat effectiveness is really not worth mentioning.

Seeing that the imperial guards were ready to light the fire, the leader of the guards was anxious: "Can you calm down!"

"Yeah, everyone, calm down! Don't rush before shooting, aim and shoot!"

It was good that Xu Youxi didn't say this, but as soon as he finished speaking, two-thirds of the guns began to aim at the leader who had just spoken.

"Withdraw troops, withdraw troops!"

The leader of the personal soldiers was really a little scared. They have seen the strength of the bank's firearms. They can wear them wherever they hit them. Even the vicious bandits were beaten to the brim. ?

As soon as the leader said 'withdraw', the rest of the team immediately started running regardless of anything.

All the soldiers of the chief envoy fled.

Jiao Jiuyuan's tense spirit finally relaxed a little bit, but this relaxation made him almost fall down.

"Shopkeeper Jiao, are you alright?"

Under the sun, the burly imperial guards gave Xu Youxi a passage.

The two public school teachers who were blocked behind Jiao Jiuyuan finally saw the appearance of Xu Youxi who was talking to the soldiers just now.

It was an exceptionally young woman in a long purple dress. There was no trace of rouge and gouache between her brows, but she looked extraordinarily dazzling. When she walked out, everyone's eyes would be subconsciously attracted to her.

Jiao Jiuyuan stood firm, with a grateful face: "Thank you, my boss!"

"Thank you boss."

The two teachers of the public school looked at each other and bowed to thank Jiao Jiuyuan.

"Boss, let me introduce you. These two are Mr. Chen Ming and Mr. Zuo Yiying from the public school. As I told you before, didn't our bank ask the admiral to help promote banknotes? These two public school teachers were arranged to write newspaper articles for the bank. Even if the newspaper about the bank’s situation couldn’t be published later, these two teachers still worked hard to promote us.”

Xu Youxi looked at the two of them carefully. The young man wore one-sided round glass glasses and had delicate features; the young woman had beautiful almond eyes, and she looked very agile.

The materials and clothes of these two people are not bad, and they don't usually look like the kind of people who worry about money.

Jiao Jiuyuan then introduced to the two public school teachers: "This is the owner of our bank, the governor from Shangjing."

"The big owner of the bank? Isn't it Shanxi merchant Yang Zhuiyue?" Zuo Yiying subconsciously wondered.

Xu Youxi explained inadvertently: "The big owner of the bank is the emperor, and I came here this time to support the bank on behalf of the emperor."

Chen Ming still didn't seem to trust Xu Youxi very much, and gently pulled Zuo Yiying, as if to let her not talk too much.

In order not to stay on the street and attract attention, Jiao Jiuyuan took Xu Youxi and two public school teachers into the room and sat down.

"Teachers, why did those guards arrest you all of a sudden?"

Zuo Yiying hesitated for a while, then glanced at Chen Ming again, but said nothing.

"Since the chief envoy wants to arrest you, it is impossible for no reason." Xu Youxi suddenly said, "I have seen the scene just now, as long as you leave the shelter here, you will be arrested at any time for an 'unreasonable' reason ...Since we have rescued you from the chief envoy's personal soldiers, you may as well speak up if you have any difficulties."

Chen Ming pondered for a moment, then asked calmly: "Is there a way, my lord, to send the two of us to Beijing to sue the imperial court?"

"A court order?"

Xu Youxi's expression seemed a little subtle: "Who are you suing? Shi Yong, the chief envoy of Hunan Province?"

"Yes." Chen Ming was decisive.

"Do you have any evidence?"

Chen Ming paused: "We have several letters about Shi Yong's collusion with the wealthy businessman Qi Xia, as well as some handwritten petitions written by some common people, hoping to present them to His Majesty in person. Today's Lianghu area, I am afraid that they have already become Shi Qi's. The world of the two families."

"Can you show the evidence?"

Facing Xu Youxi's request, the two just shook their heads forbearingly: "My lord, we only want to show the evidence to His Majesty."

Xu Youxi stared at the two of them and hesitated for a while, then said seriously: "Actually, I am the Son of Heaven."

"what?"

"..."

"..."

The three of them were all dumbfounded, and for a moment they didn't know what kind of expression to show.

No matter how hard this sentence sounds, it doesn't seem to be true, but who dares to joke about it?
"Then, do you have a way to prove it?" Chen Ming was the first to calm down, and then asked.

Oh.

Emperors do not appear to be equipped with status tokens.

"Even if I really bring out Yuxi, you will be able to recognize the goods?" Xu Youxi said helplessly, "Xu Ling, take out your token."

Xu Ling obeyed the order and quickly took out the ID card.

"Commander of Nanzhen Prefecture, Xu Ling." Zuo Yiying read out the words on the sign and covered her mouth, "Are you Jinyiwei?"

"Your Majesty will use the name of Governor Li Si for private visits in micro-services all the year round."

Xu Ling explained the sentence in a low-key manner.

"Governor Li Si!"

When Zuo Yiying heard this name, she couldn't help but her blood boiled: "You are the governor Li Si who digs sewers and builds cement houses in the Pingshun mansion! No, so you are both the governor Li Si and the emperor?"

Why does Xu Youxi feel that the name Li Si is more useful than her own name!

"Yes."

Chen Ming asked: "Since you are the emperor, why did you suddenly visit the Hunan area in private?"

"In the middle of the first lunar month, the imperial court began to carry out the "one whip method" reform. First, the Jiangnan and Lianghu areas were used as pilots, but the results were very different. I wonder why the Lianghu areas have failed repeatedly. Just at this time, there is another memorial saying that Jishan County, Hunan Province A rebel army came out, hid in the mountains, and plotted to rebel, so I led the troops to come out to see the situation in person.”

Chen Ming immediately asked: "Since you are the Son of Heaven, you shouldn't forget the exam questions you gave in the palace exam last year, right?"

Xu Youxi recalled it for a while: "I asked the right question at the time, saying that my birthday is coming soon, what gifts do the candidates for the palace examination plan to give me?"

Xu Youxi suddenly realized that Chen Ming's appearance seemed somewhat familiar: "I remember that Chen Ji's hometown in the second place is in the Lianghu area. How similar are you to him?"

"Chen Ji is Caomin's cousin."

Chen Ming completely believed in Xu Youxi's identity. If he was pretending to be the emperor, he would not be well-prepared and could easily answer last year's imperial examination questions.

"It's no wonder. Your brother is pretty good. His article on the Wealth of Nations last year was especially good. In that essay, he also put forward a lot of suggestions on building bridges and roads, most of which were aimed at the two lakes. Area. At that time, I was thinking of letting him spend two years as an editor in the Imperial Academy to sharpen his mind, and then arrange to return to his hometown as a 'parent officer'."

"By the way, Chen Ji said that he got engaged in his hometown and got married at the end of the year, but I think he didn't have time last year."

As soon as she said this, Zuo Yiying blushed obviously.

Xu Youxi still doesn't understand.

She just happened to save her 'second place' brother and daughter-in-law.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

After confirming Xu Youxi's identity, the two of them knelt down quickly without daring to continue sitting.

Only Jiao Jiuyuan was a little bit slow in reacting, he was completely frightened, his boss was actually the emperor, and he even came out to support them in secret? !
Jiao Jiuyuan really regretted it. If he knew it was the emperor's backing, he had to walk around the doors of those merchants who usually look down on banks with his head held high! ! !
"Then the evidence you just said?"

Zuo Yiying hurried to open the umbrella placed in the corner, then tore it along the umbrella frame, and finally fell out of the umbrella several extremely thin envelopes.

Chen Ji took out a fan from his bag, which also contained a letter.

"We were worried that Shi Yong would stop us if we carried evidence with us, so we hid some of the evidence in a nearby place, and some of them were hidden in the bank's vault. My cousin said that he will definitely come back by the Mid-Autumn Festival this year at the latest. Get married. If something happened to us before this, after my cousin comes back, he will naturally find a way to find out the truth..."

"This evidence is something we only started working on last year."

Xu Youxi briefly flipped through the contents of the letter, and figured out the general meaning: "No wonder Beijing was so strict last year, and Yu Tan didn't find anything wrong with Shi Yong, and his father-in-law had already laundered all the money for him. "

Zuo Yiying added: "The origin of Qi Xia's family property is not innocent. Many people said that he saw him set fire to a rich man to death, and finally inherited the family property as a friend of the other party."

"Benli and the two of us planned to leave without anyone noticing in the name of going to Shangjing to join relatives. I don't know who told Shi Yong about the evidence we collected. He has been staring at us for the past few days. We even sent people to the public school to interrogate us several times.”

No wonder Shi Yong didn't have time to make trouble for himself these days. It turned out that he was attracted by these two people and took his attention away.

"Okay." Xu Youxi stood up, "Xu Ling, dispatch troops and prepare to surround the chief envoy."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

at dusk.

When Xu Youxi ordered the imperial guards to surround the chief envoy, Qi Yuanwai was still furiously scolding Shi Yong for the behavior of governor Li Si.

"I don't know what the governor means by this!"

When Shi Yong heard that the chief envoy was surrounded by officers and soldiers, he hurried out of the mansion before he could change into his official uniform.

"Shi Yong, the governor of Hunan province, colluded with Qi Xia, a businessman, corrupted the law, disregarded human life, and the evidence is conclusive. These are letters from you colluding with Qi Xia. Can you plead guilty?"

The guards with firearms stood in the first row, pointing their guns at the chief envoy, followed by nearly soldiers wearing sabers borrowed from nearby areas.

"Evidence? Just a few letters?"

Shi Yong smiled indifferently.

"It's written in black and white, isn't it written clearly enough?"

"Does the governor know how my family in Huzhou raises silkworms? Anyone who raises silkworms must plant mulberry trees and raise fish at the same time. The leaves of mulberry trees are used to raise silkworms, and silkworm chrysalis can be used as fish feed, and pond mud is used to fertilize mulberry trees. These silkworm farmers have a bumper harvest every year, silk, mulberry, fresh fish, which step do you think is wrong!"

"The relationship between me and Qi Xia is like a fish and a silkworm. I just take care of my father-in-law to show my filial piety. The father-in-law is worried about whether his daughter's life will be well-off, so he sends some silver to support his daughter. Do you think there is any violation of the law in this?"

Shi Yong was also extraordinarily confident, thinking that he was right.

Xu Youxi retorted without lagging behind: "People raise silkworms, and the one you raise is called Gu! The silkworms eat mulberry leaves and spit out silk, but what Gu eats is the flesh and blood of their companions."

Just after Xu Youxi finished speaking, Shi Yong suddenly became a little excited.

For some reason, in addition to Xu Youxi's team of several thousand people outside the chief envoy, a completely unfamiliar team suddenly surrounded the periphery.

"What is he laughing at?"

Xu Youxi asked Xu Ling doubtfully.

"do not know."

Suddenly, the smile on Shi Yong's face froze: "Why are you not one of us!"

"... Oh, I forgot to mention, we still have more than 1000 factory guards, and they have just assembled."

Shi Yong's face was ugly, but the next moment, there was another group of soldiers riding in from outside the city on horseback.

Hope was ignited again in Shi Yong's eyes.

"Is Shi Yong's rescuer here?"

Xu Youxi looked back, wait, why are these people so familiar!
"My lord, why do I feel that they... seem to be wearing armor from the Shenji Battalion? And... the matchlock guns from the Shenji Battalion?" Xu Ling couldn't help muttering, "Why does it seem to be ours too? people."

"Perhaps Shangjing worried about His Majesty's safety and made special arrangements."

Shi Yong watched helplessly as the soldiers surrounding the chief envoy increased from 2000 to 3000, and now it may be nearly .

Suddenly feel disheartened.

So what if the rescuers come?
Can he still squeeze into the city!

Xu Youxi was equally speechless, she was just catching a corrupt official, why did she act like a royal conquest? !
