I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 16: Arrest! The situation is reversed! (Two chapters in one, please read it later)

Party struggles are not just about strength and skill.

If you want to win people's hearts, threats, coercion, benefits and inducements are all indispensable.

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Revenue manages a series of financial affairs including territory, taxes, national treasury, etc. It is a veritable money bag and one of the Queen's biggest reliances.

The Imperial Concubine's Party took great pains to finally plant a nail in the Ministry of Revenue, but it was pulled out so easily.

And it is very likely to cause backlash...

"My queen, otherwise let these three of them shut up forever..."

A hint of murderous intent flashed across Xu Qingyi's eyes.

Now it seems that the person cannot be rescued for sure, and we can only try to minimize the loss.

Otherwise, if Yan Peizhi took advantage of the situation and pulled out the radish, there would be no telling how many people would be implicated.

"Oh, do you really think the Queen is unprepared?"

"She is clearly waiting for me to take action. This is a naked conspiracy."

Yu Youhan tapped the armrest with her green jade fingers, thought for a moment, and said, "In the court tomorrow, let Chen Zhuo write a letter to impeach the Minister of Justice, accusing him of being arbitrary and arbitrary, and forcing him to confess. I also request that the three courts hold a joint trial and that the censor intervene to supervise the case!"

"Yes."

Xu Qingyi lowered his head and sighed silently in his heart.

The so-called impeachment is just a helpless act. It is not painful and cannot change anything at all.

I'm afraid your Majesty can only swallow this loss in silence...

……

That night.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

At midnight, everything was quiet and the night wind whistled past with a chill.

A horse-drawn carriage drove out of Yan's mansion, its wheels rumbling as it traveled through the streets.

After walking around for a few times, we entered a courtyard on Yicuifang South Street.

After a stick of incense, the back door opened and the carriage drove out again.

Before they had taken a few steps, several flames suddenly lit up, and a dozen officers in dark-scaled black uniforms emerged from the darkness, holding swords and weapons, and surrounded the carriage.

The crowd parted and a tall, thin figure walked slowly towards them.

"It's the middle of the night and past curfew. Where are you going, sir?"

The man in black driving the car had a blank expression and remained silent.

Liu Mang frowned, stretched out his hand to grab the black-clothed man's jaw, and pried open his mouth. Only a short inch of tongue was left. He was a mute who had been punished by having his tongue cut off.

He walked to the rear carriage and opened the curtain, only to see Yan Liang sitting inside with a calm look on his face.

There was no one else except him.

"It's so late, why is General Yan not sleeping in his house and coming to Yicuifang?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I came out to relax. Do I need to report to you?"

Yan Liang asked in a deep voice: "Why did you, Guishui Division, mobilize so many troops? Do you think I am a criminal?"

Liu Mang said bluntly: "Someone reported that General Yan was suspected of raising barbarian slaves..."

Yan Liang narrowed his eyes and said in a grim tone, "People should be responsible for what they said. Do you have any evidence?"

"Whether there is one or not, you will know after searching!"

Liu Mang didn't say any more words. He waved his hand and several officers entered the courtyard holding torches.

Yan Liang crossed his arms and watched coldly, his eyes full of mockery.

Soon, the officers came out one after another.

"not found."

"Neither do I have one here."

boom!
Yan Liang slammed the table, pointed at Liu Mang's nose and cursed: "Who do you think you are? How dare you come to cause trouble for me?"

"Where's Chen Mo? Get him out here! I haven't settled the score with him for what happened during the day. Does he really think I'm made of mud?"

"If you don't give me an explanation this time, I will file a lawsuit with the government office against you for overstepping your authority and making false accusations!"

Liu Mang reached out and wiped the saliva off his face, and said lightly: "Master Chen is busy and has no time to come."

"What are you busy with?"

Yan Liang was stunned for a moment.

At this time, Chen Mo is not here?

Could it be... A bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

Liu Mang raised the corner of his mouth, "Busy catching people!"

Almost at the same time, a brilliant sword light flashed in the distant night sky!
Looking at the direction of the blade, Yan Liang's expression froze instantly, his eyes filled with fear!

……

In the dark and narrow alley, several figures wrapped in black robes and wearing hoods moved silently, almost blending into the night.

Some of them moved a little stiffly, their clothes swayed as they walked, and black iron rings could be seen on their ankles.

Yan Xun walked in front, with a smug smile on his face hidden under his hood.

"My brother is smart and used a trick to hide the dark under the lamp."

"Yicuifang was originally just a cover, and the goods were hidden in Xici Hutong. He stayed there to attract attention, and I have already delivered the goods to the buyer!"

"The situation has been tense lately. We can't hold on to this batch of goods any longer. We have to sell it as soon as possible..."

Arriving at a secret courtyard, Yan Xun stepped forward and gently knocked on the door.

"Who?"

A hoarse voice came from inside the door.

Yan Xun whispered, "Don't be lustful at midnight."

After exchanging secret codes, the door opened silently and several people walked quickly into the courtyard.

A burly man led them into the room.

The candlelight in the room was dim. The man sitting on the chair was wearing a bamboo hat and a black veil covering his face. He said in a deep voice, "You are late... Why is it you? Where is Yan Liang?"

"My brother can't leave for the time being, but don't worry, the goods will definitely be fine."

Yan Xun said: "Dianzi has been targeting us recently. This is the last batch and we will suspend supply in the short term."

"Test."

The man in the bamboo hat raised his hand.

The sturdy man walked forward and pulled off the hoods of several people, revealing beautiful faces with wheat-colored skin and exotic charm.

Their eyes looked a little dull and they hardly responded to external stimuli.

"These are all trained slaves. As long as they hold this beast ring..."

Yan Xun was just about to demonstrate the "method of use" when suddenly, a breeze blew by and the candlelight on the table flickered.

The man in the bamboo hat frowned and asked, "You brought other people with you?"

"No?"

Yan Xun shook his head blankly.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door, and a slightly magnetic male voice came from outside the door:

"Open the door and check the room."

The man in the bamboo hat suddenly looked unhappy and said, "Not good..."

Before he finished his words, a blazing blade flashed across, smashing the door into pieces!
A handsome and heroic man walked in slowly, followed by dozens of Tianlin Guards behind him, filing in and surrounding the place tightly!
"Chen Mo?!"

Yan Xun's eyes widened into a state of shock, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Shouldn't he be in Yicuifang at this moment, being played around by Yan Liang?

How would it appear here?

"Is there any unexpected gain?"

Chen Mo glanced at the man in the bamboo hat.

He already knew where the barbarian slave was hiding, and deliberately lured him out in order to catch him red-handed.

I just didn’t expect the other party to be so bold that he would dare to trade under such circumstances!
"Stop them!"

The man in the bamboo hat made hand gestures quickly without any hesitation.

The sturdy man roared angrily, and his body suddenly expanded, bursting through his clothes, and turned into a giant nearly three meters tall, with his gnarled muscles shining with a bronze luster!
"Warlock?"

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.

"If you dare to resist, you will be killed without mercy!"

The officers leaped forward to meet him.

They were all warriors of the first rank and were quite powerful, but when their swords and knives chopped at the giants, they only left streaks of blood and could not cause any fatal damage.

The giant made a powerful move and waved his hand to knock several people away!

Seeing this, everyone quickly adjusted their tactics. Some of them dodged and swung their chains around the giant, tying him to the spot.

The rest of them chopped hard at the ankles, knees and crotch!
In the distance, two officers holding crossbows tightened the crossbow strings and shot out arrows!
puff!puff!
Two feather arrows pierced the eyeballs almost at the same time! "Ahhhhhhh!"

The severe pain almost drove the giant crazy!

He grabbed the chains with both hands and swung the officer away. After breaking free from the restraints, he ran towards the direction where Chen Mo was standing!

"Lord be careful!"

Qin Shou exclaimed.

Chen Mo stood still, his right hand on the hilt of the knife.

At the moment the two collided, a brilliant green light tore through the darkness, and a long roar like a dragon's roar was soul-stirring!

The giant was still running, his body split into two halves from top to bottom, and passed by Chen Mo's side. The splattered blood was evaporated by the sword energy before it fell!
Clang!
The sword was sheathed and the corpse collapsed with a loud bang!

"Elegant, so elegant!"

Everyone was delighted to see it, their eyes full of awe and admiration!

Judging from the strength and defense, this giant is far superior to ordinary sixth-grade warriors, but unexpectedly he couldn't even block a single blow from the general flag!

How strong is the general flag?
【Kill "Bronze Puppet·Giant Spirit", True Spirit +30. 】

A prompt flashed before his eyes, and Chen Mo took a deep breath.

"Is this the power of a top-grade Heavenly Rank martial art?"

"The Azure Dragon in the Sleeve... He is so powerful even though he has only just entered the martial arts realm. However, the consumption of his true energy is too great. An average sixth-rank warrior may not be able to perform this strike."

Moreover, Chen Mo could feel that this knife was in line with some ultimate truth.

This should be the so-called "Tao rhyme".

"My bronze puppet!!"

The man in the bamboo hat felt a pang of pain in his flesh.

In order to refine this puppet, he emptied his savings, used a sixth-rank warrior, and nearly a thousand kilograms of red blood copper!
He was actually killed by this kid with one sword?

"I'll remember you. We have a long way to go..."

The man in the bamboo hat looked at Chen Mo deeply. The blue bricks under his feet were as soft as mud, and his body quickly disappeared into the ground.

Five Elements Escape Technique!

As a sixth-rank sorcerer, he has his own support. This group of court lackeys cannot stop him at all...

At this moment, a mellow voice sounded leisurely: "Friend, since you are here, don't rush to leave."

boom!
A silver spear came through the door and smashed into the ground like a meteor!
Shen Shuchou walked over in the moonlight, reached out and grabbed the silver spear, pouring surging energy into it, and forcibly tore a huge crack several meters long on the ground, which was still spreading rapidly!
The officers and the slaves had just retreated to the courtyard when the whole house collapsed!

"Fifth-grade Pure Yang?"

"Are you a captain of the Tianlin Guard?!"

There were exclamations.

Then there was another groan of pain.

The night wind blew by, the smoke and dust dissipated, and Shen Shuchou stood tall.

The man in the bamboo hat was lifted up by the silver spear, his abdomen pierced, and he was nailed firmly to the wall.

Once the divine sea is broken, even if there are thousands of magic spells, they cannot be used.

Fucked...

The man in the bamboo hat couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

They were just a few barbarian slaves, why did they alarm all the captains of the Tianlin Guard?

……

"Come here, take them to the imperial prison and wait for their punishment!"

Shen Shuchou's voice was cold.

"Yes!"

The officer responded.

Yan Xun's knees went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

As a member of the Tianlin Guard, he certainly knew what the Imperial Prison meant.

The soul flew to the boiling water, the pain was unspeakable, there, the scary thing was not death, but even death became a luxury...

The few people were escorted out of the courtyard.

The silver spear in Shen Shuchou's hand shook, and it turned into light dust and sank into his body.

Noticing Chen Mo's surprised look, Shen Shuchou took the initiative to explain: "This gun is not a physical object, but the martial spirit I have nurtured. It is connected to my mind and can be used as easily as an arm."

Martial spirit?

Chen Mo suddenly realized.

The gap between the three realms of transcendence is as huge as heaven and earth.

The sixth level of Guiyuan Realm is to refine the true qi into true essence.

The fifth level of Pure Yang Realm is to merge the divine consciousness with the true essence and condense it into a martial spirit of one's own!

"Everyone's skills, understanding, and state of mind are different, and the martial spirits they condense are also completely different."

"I have been practicing shooting with my elder brother since I was young..."

Having said this, Shen Shuchou paused, and a trace of sadness and hatred flashed in his eyes.

When the barbarians invaded southern Xinjiang, the eldest son of the Shen family died on the battlefield, so he hated the barbarians very much!
After calming down, Shen Shuchou patted Chen Mo on the shoulder.

"You should be credited with the first merit for tonight's arrest... But I'm curious, how did you know that the Yan family kept barbarian slaves, and even knew their exact locations so clearly?"

...It's all tears if I talk too much.

In his previous life, when Chen Mo was browsing the forum, he saw someone confidently saying that as long as a series of preconditions were met, the hidden plot of "Training Savage Slaves" could be triggered.

So he repeated this task dozens of times, remembering every detail clearly...

Damn it, the damn Zuowang Dao!

Chen Mo twitched his lips and said, "I have a tip."

"Tip?"

"In other words, you have been planning this for a long time?"

Shen Shuchou was a little surprised and looked at Chen Mo carefully.

In the past, he had a very ordinary impression of Chen Mo, thinking that he was just a pampered young man who could not be of any great use.

However, just one day later, Chen Mo made him look at him with new eyes!
He planned carefully before taking action, first deliberately provoking the other party, luring them out of their hole and then catching them red-handed.

He is handsome, talented, and thoughtful.

Thinking of the foodie in his family, Shen Shuchou suddenly felt like he was "reaching above his station"...

No, I must seize this opportunity of being a good brother-in-law!
"Last time I talked about the arranged marriage..."

"Ahem, it's getting late. I'll go back to catch up on some sleep, and you should also go to bed early."

"Since the sorcerer was captured by you, please let me personally judge him. I dare not take credit for it."

After saying that, Chen Mo dodged and slipped away.

Shen Shuchou was stunned for a moment and burst out laughing.

"Humph, this kid is really cunning. He doesn't dare to take credit for himself. It's obvious that he is afraid of offending others..."

……

The next day, Zhaohua Palace.

The flying eaves, pointed corners, green tiles and red roofs fully demonstrate the royal atmosphere.

Incense is burning in an incense burner carved with auspicious beasts, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance.

Behind the glazed screen, a figure in bright yellow can be vaguely seen sitting upright.

"How is the investigation into the Ministry of Revenue corruption going?"

The female voice was majestic but with a hint of laziness.

"Your Highness, the suspects confessed to their crimes. After interrogation and investigation, the three were also suspected of bribery, buying official positions, dereliction of duty, and many other crimes."

"Among them, five people were involved, including the Ministry of Personnel Langzhong, the Chief Clerk, and the Supervisory Censor."

As he spoke, Yan Peizhi, dressed in purple official uniform, presented his confession.

His temples were gray and his eyes were sharp, like a skinny tiger and a hungry eagle, with extraordinary aura.

The eunuch took the confession and handed it to the queen.

After a moment, a slightly angry voice sounded: "Eager for power, stealing authority, selling official positions and titles, our Yuan Dynasty officialdom has become so corrupt! Good, very good!"

"Your Highness, calm down."

Yan Peizhi lowered his head, his eyes flickering.

It doesn't matter whether this confession is true or false.

The important thing is, what benefits can be gained through this confession?
At this time, a female official walked in quickly and whispered something to the queen.

There was silence behind the screen for a long time.

Just when Yan Peizhi was feeling confused, what the queen said made his hair stand on end!
"Master Yan, why don't you first explain why your Yan family is involved with the barbarians?"
