Chapter 698 You’Ll Know It’S A Trick Just By Hearing The Words!
Su Ran said: "Oh? The emperor sent you to check the food?"
"Then you can open the city gate and allow inspection."
Yang Ji snorted, glanced at Su Ran, and said:
"I am here to collect tax money. You unscrupulous people who dare to stop me from collecting taxes deserve death."
"Hahaha, you are so brave, you actually said that I am a troublemaker?"
"In this case, stop talking nonsense, I will just kill you!"
Su Ran's face darkened, and suddenly he punched out, hitting Yang Ji's chest.
Yang Ji's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect that the imperial envoy would dare to attack him, so he quickly raised his right arm to block.
"Bang" Yang Ji groaned, and all 19 people flew directly ten meters away and fell heavily to the ground.
"Poof" a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Yang Ji's right arm drooped on both sides of his body.
"Hi~!" Seeing this scene, everyone took a breath.
No one thought that this imperial envoy could be so cruel.
He didn't even take the emperor's life into consideration and just killed people when he was told to.
Others were horrified.
They are just ordinary farmers. They have never seen such a battle.
For a moment, everyone fled, not daring to get close to Su Ran.
"IXX..."
Yang Ji stood up with difficulty, covered his injured shoulder, and roared:
"You are so brave. You dare to attack the imperial official. You are dead."
"The imperial court official?"
Su Ran sneered and said:
"I am no longer an imperial envoy and cannot be regarded as an official of the imperial court. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to His Majesty to sue me.
"Bah! Who do you think you are, worthy of talking to His Majesty?"
Yang Ji said angrily.
"In that case, why are you still standing there? Get out of here.
Su Ran waved her hand and said impatiently.
"Asshole, just wait for me until I return to the palace to report to Your Majesty. Let's see what you do."
Yang Ji cursed and left dejectedly.
Su Ran glanced at Yang Ji's back contemptuously.
He walked straight towards the grain merchant's house.
The grain merchant's surname was Wang Mingzhong, the richest man in Nanling.
In addition to being pampered, they also like to make friends with dignitaries and have great power.
Therefore, his family is quite famous throughout Nanling.
This time, Wang Zhong learned that a newly promoted imperial envoy came to Nanling City.
He found him through connections and expressed his willingness to sacrifice his family wealth just to survive.
For this kind of thing, Yang Ji naturally agreed happily.
Moreover, he followed the trend and said that these grains were not privately owned by the people of Nanling.
Instead, it is allocated by the Nanling Palace Treasury, and they only manage it for Nanling Palace.
When Su Ran heard this, she knew he was playing tricks.
But he didn't say much, according to what Yang Ji said.
Searched the Nanling Treasury.
Sure enough, a lot of silver was found in a hidden compartment.
This amount of silver is as much as fifty thousand taels.
"Eunuch Yang, are these silvers from the Nanling treasury?"
Su Ran asked.
"Of course, all this silver belongs to Nanling Mansion's 947 Treasury and has nothing to do with you.
Yang Ji looked disdainful.
He had already guessed this would happen.
So prepare early.
Transfer all the silver in Nanling's treasury.
Just take these banknotes.
There is no worry at all about being held accountable.
"I see, I understand."
Su Ran nodded in realization, and then he said:
"Eunuch Yang, although we do not have the right to use this money."
"But His Majesty's will cannot be disobeyed, so...
Su Ran paused and continued: "I think it is in line with the rules for you to send the money to the Nanling government office as soon as possible."
