The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 183: Report first and then kill
The twenty-third year of Jiajing, the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Jinyiwei, in Li Miao’s classroom.

"Kneel down!"

Li Miao sat on the main seat with his arms folded, looking coldly at the four people kneeling in front of him.

Wang Hai, Xiao Si, Mei Qinghe, Gao Ling.

Except for Xiao Si, the other three had scabbards under their knees and raised their knees.

Next to Li Miao sat Zhu Zai, who was sipping tea carefully with a mischievous look on his face.

"You kid, have you come to this day?"

Zhu Zai thought to himself that the crude tea had become sweet.

Li Miao glanced at Zhu Zai unhappily, then turned to look at the four people who were lowering their heads below.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

"understood……"

The four said in unison.

"I know nothing!"

Li Miao said in a cold voice, stood up and stretched out his hand.

An Ziyang ran over happily and handed a willow branch to Li Miao.

Li Miao went around behind the four people and raised his hands to hit them on the back.

To be honest, over the years, Li Miao is the only one who makes others angry, and this is the first time that he is angered by others.

He killed several members of the Ming Cult, and when he figured out that the time was almost up, he went to find Zhu Zai. The two discussed how to deal with the bodies of Wan Tianzong and Cheng Yuanzhen, and then returned to Shuntian Prefecture together.

Who knew that as soon as I got home, I ran into An Ziyang and You Ziang running back breathlessly. After some questioning, I learned about the news of the "Emperor's Mausoleum" left by Ji Tianrui.

Afterwards, Li Miao discovered that Wang Hai and four others had disappeared.

Li Miao went to the Jinyiwei prison cell and saw the traces left by Xiao Si's Gu refining. He also looked through the Miao King's notes and immediately knew what these people were doing.

He immediately became furious.

Since Ji Tianrui left the news about the imperial mausoleum, the Ming Cult's plan was probably related to the imperial mausoleum. It was very likely that these four people went to the imperial mausoleum.

So Li Miao put on the mask of Ji Tianrui found from King Miao, rushed to the imperial mausoleum, and rescued the four idiots.

And then, there is the current situation.

"Xiaomei, you and Elder Gao should kneel over there first."

Li Miao said.

Mei Qinghe was a fool. Apart from his good-looking face, his brain was full of muscles and he couldn't think straight. He was not surprised at all that he would do such a thing.

Gao Ling was also led astray by these three idiots and was the least guilty.

The most annoying ones are Wang Hai and Xiao Si.

He has been by my side for more than ten years, and you know my temper very well, but you still do this!

"Wang Hai, Captain Wang!"

"Wang Enong!"

"Do you think you are so righteous? Ah? Should I thank you?"

Li Miao tapped the willow branches on his hands and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"And 'I won't allow Ji Tianrui to drag Qianhu into this' ~ Oh, if someone doesn't know, they would think you are three ways in one, and I am a shitty first-rate person!"

Li Miao raised his head and looked at the four sect leaders standing beside him: "I'm not talking about you, don't take it personally."

The four leaders waved their hands together: "Don't dare, I'm shit, I'm shit."

Li Miao didn't want to joke with them. He turned around and raised his hand, hitting Wang Hai on the back with a willow branch. Immediately, it turned purple and his skin was torn.

"And you, Si'er, I really don't know what to say about you."

Li Miao looked at Xiao Si, shook his head and sighed.

"When I rescued you, you were only as tall as my knees. I have worked hard for more than ten years using the commander's money to raise you, and this is how you repay me?"

"Just a piece of shit Ji Tianrui, and she's trading it for the daughter I've raised for more than ten years? How can she be worthy of it!"

"Ahem..." Zhu Zai coughed. Li Miao didn't even raise his head: "I'm not talking about you, Commander. Just drink your drink."

Li Miao raised the willow branch and hit Xiao Si on the back, but no blood was drawn.

"Now you know you were wrong!"

"I understand... I shouldn't have taken the three of them into danger and asked you to come and rescue them..."

Wang Hai said in a low voice.

"Shit!"

Li Miao raised his hand and slapped Wang Hai on the back, leaving another flesh-wound.

"You are wrong. You think your life is too cheap!"

Li Miao threw the willow branch on Wang Hai's head, turned around, walked to the chair and sat down, and said coldly.

"If you want to die, wait until I'm dead. Don't die in front of me and make things difficult for me."

"Get out of here and reflect on yourselves. I'll heal the wound on your face, but leave the wound on your body alone. Let it hurt for a few days and learn your lesson."

The four of them nodded and left the room.

Only then did Li Miao pick up a cup of tea and take a sip.

"Tell me about your discoveries in the past few days."

Captain Wang, who was poisoned by the four kinds of Gu that day, said.

"Captain, we have arrested eleven groups of thirty-one Mingjiao disciples in the past few days. They are all tricks, and we can't find anything out from them."

Deng Boxuan said.

"We have also found several groups of Ming Cult members in the past few days. Their martial arts skills are not very high, so they should be abandoned."

"In addition, my disciple bought this from a group of Jianghu people when he was gathering information."

Deng Baixuan took out a few pieces of paper from his arms.

"This thing has been circulating in the martial arts world of Shuntian Prefecture in the past few days. After the news spread, many martial arts people have rushed to the capital."

"We checked the source of this stuff, it was a bookstore. After they paid for the printing of the books, they never showed up again, so they kept the stuff in the store and waited for someone to pick it up."

"A group of gangsters happened to look through it and started fighting over it. As more and more people showed up, they tore it up and scattered it around. We have already found the bodies of the gangsters. They had their throats slashed with a knife. They died very quickly and there is no evidence."

"We have also asked about the appearance of the person who printed the book, but there is no such person. He must be a member of the Ming Cult in disguise."

Li Miao took the papers, glanced at them and sneered.

"If you want to use its strength, you must first blunt its edge."

"Oh, you are willing to spend the money."

The paper contained some of the secret formulas of the Wedding Dress Divine Art. Although it was incomplete, the masters of the inner family could naturally see that it was extraordinary. For the people in the martial arts world, it was already attractive enough.

"Any other discoveries?"

Everyone shook their heads: "Not yet."

"Then go out. I'll talk to the commander for a while."

Everyone left as instructed, leaving only Li Miao and Zhu Zai in the room.

Li Miao turned and looked at Zhu Zai.

"Commander, I want to discuss something with you."

Zhu Zai was drinking tea leisurely, but when he heard Li Miao's words, he was suddenly startled and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet to his head.

In all these years, when had Li Miao ever been so polite to him? When had he ever asked for his opinion before doing anything?

Compared with Li Miao's previous attitude of being fearless, his look at this moment could almost be described as fawning.

"Oh no! This kid wants to be a big demon!"

Zhu Zai looked at Li Miao coldly without saying a word.

Li Miao didn't care at all and said with a smile.

"I'm going to dig up your family's ancestral grave, you..."

"No objection?"
