Several of them were about to have a seizure, but were stopped again by the gaze of their leader.
Seeing that no one responded to him, Liu Yuan felt a little bored, so he said:
"Okay, let me tell you the truth, I did pay a bribe."
Having said this, he ignored the astonished looks of the officials, raised his hand and pointed to the city wall separating the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard:
"Did you see that wall? Hidden inside that wall is the account book that I have given gifts to over the years!"
"But, so what? Even if you stand in front of these evidences, do you dare to take them? Oh, I forgot to tell you that every year when the Chief Minister celebrates his birthday, I am an invited guest."
"You don't understand the meaning of this, do you?"
After hearing this, the officials present had a flash of surprise on their cheeks involuntarily.
The birthday banquet of Lord Chief Assistant was of such high standard that almost everyone in the court hall was not familiar with it.
But there are only ninety-nine seats for Lord Chief Assistant's annual birthday banquet. Therefore, this quota of invited guests is particularly important. Even among the officials in the capital, it is not an exaggeration to say that they will have their heads smashed.
There are often people who spend a lot of money to win the favor of the first assistant Lin Chunqiu. But often this kind of people end up making jokes in the end.
Therefore, some people speculate that only people who are extremely important to the chief minister Lin Chunqiu can be invited to the birthday banquet.
But what puzzled the officials who arrested Liu Yuanwai was...
In this remote village, a member of a wealthy family kept saying that he had attended the birthday banquet of Chief Minister Lin Chunqiu, and he went there every year without fail.
This is completely unreasonable!
But Liu Yuanwai was so confident and confident that he was not as guilty as telling lies. Could it be that... he still has a hidden identity or means?
Seeing Liu Yuanwai's posture, an unnatural expression flashed across the officials' cheeks.
Liu Yuanwai is a person who can be called a human spirit, and he naturally captured the changes in the expressions of the officials.
A trace of pride could not help but appear in his heart, but the expression on his face became more and more confident.
"Guys, as the saying goes, visitors are guests. It's so late at night that it's not easy for the brothers to come here. Why don't you just let me go and let this matter be over."
"Liu is not talented, but he will never let the brothers run in vain."
Having said this, he raised three fingers in front of all the officials.
"Brothers, we are guests. It is not easy to come to our Xiaoyu Village at night. To express our gratitude to everyone, each brother Liu will give thirty taels of silver!"
As soon as these words came out, a bright light suddenly flashed on the faces of those low-level officials.
Thirty taels, this is not a small amount of money!
Throughout the year, their salary is only so much. But this member Liu dispersed with a wave of his hand.
As expected, being able to be the guest of the Chief Assistant is definitely not an ordinary thing.
At this moment, many officials began to breathe quickly. Their cheeks were flushed, as if they were on stimulants!
When the official superior saw this, his face could not help but darken.
However, how could such a big mistake happen except for Mr. Liu who was doing everything right?
He smiled faintly and leaned towards the official superior without leaving any trace.
Then in a voice that only the two of them could hear, he whispered:
"Master, don't worry, I have prepared a big gift for you. As long as..."
"enough!"
Suddenly, an angry roar interrupted the officials' fantasy.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the boss say with a cold face:
"Are you all desperate for your life? Have you forgotten the mission assigned to us by your superiors?"
As soon as these words came out, the officials who had fallen into a sweet dream immediately woke up one by one.
They shivered subconsciously, then lowered their heads and said nothing.
The official superior sneered and looked in the direction of Yuan Liu with evil intentions.
"Executive member Liu, don't you understand what happened now?"
"We are not Lin Chunqiu's people. Therefore, even if you are Lin's chief guest, it is meaningless to us."
Liu Yuanwai pondered for a moment, but he didn't feel the slightest worry in his heart.
Maybe this official boss's acting skills are very good, but it's a pity that in the end, his own insight is better!
Don't think that you can't see it from the outside. Every time you mention Chief Lin, the fear in your eyes cannot be hidden!
But what they are doing now has another purpose.
As for the purpose...it's just to get more benefits for me!
Damn, these bastards are just dogs raised by Lord Chief Assistant, and they actually got into trouble with me today.
When I enter the capital in the future, I must discuss this matter with the chief minister.
Liu Yuanwai thought so, and the desire to please on his cheeks became even stronger.
"Everyone...everyone, how about you listen to what I have to say?"
"I'm actually just a small business owner. I don't dare to touch the laws of our Zhou Dynasty."
"I think there must be some misunderstanding in this. Please let me investigate."
"Let's do this. As long as the officials are willing to believe that I am unjustly accused, then I will make the decision and each of you will spend fifty taels of silver."
Having said this, he looked at his boss aside and whispered:
"Don't worry, sir, you are ten times more powerful than them!"
Sure enough, after hearing this, the official boss's face immediately became much better. He took a deep look at Liu Yuanwai, who had a flattering smile on his face, and said lightly:
"Well, it seems that this is all a misunderstanding. You two, why don't you let Liu Yuanwai go quickly?"
There is money to open the way, how can these low-level officials wait?
They rushed almost non-stop and immediately rushed to Liu Yuanwai's body, and then unlocked his shackles.
Liu Yuanwai calmly moved his wrist and shouted towards the door.
"Old Xu, if you are still stunned, go and take out the money from the basement and give it to the officials present."
Upon hearing this, a look of impatient excitement immediately flashed across the officials' faces.
When Liu Yuanwai saw this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of disdain in his heart.
They are really some losers. They only have fifty taels, so they are so excited. It's ridiculous!
If they were to see millions of taels of silver piled up in front of them like a mountain, wouldn't they be scared to death?
Just as he was thinking about this, the housekeeper, Lao Xu, brought the servants out of the house and delivered the silver one by one.
They held maroon wooden trays in their hands, on which were placed silver ingots that looked like snowflakes.
At this moment, even the official superior's stern face couldn't help but glance at Yin Zi.
Liu Yuanwai caught this detail and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Huh, some country bumpkins who have never seen the world!
