As soon as the common people saw that Li Wang led people to surround the Chen family, they gathered together to watch the fun.
"What's going on here? Why did His Royal Highness Prince Li lead troops to surround Chen's mansion? Mr. Chen is a well-known upright official."
"I don't know, but King Li probably wouldn't do this for no reason, it must have his intentions."
"King Li is the imperial envoy, so he is here to investigate Chen Xi?"
"Chen Xi is an upright official. I saw someone send him a basket of Chinese cabbage just now. What is there to investigate about such an upright official?"
"Let's see the situation first."
At this time, Chen Xi was admiring the basket of Chinese cabbage, and the wealthy businessman who gave the gift was looking at him flatteringly, "My lord, I know that your favorite is Chinese cabbage. No, I gave you another basket. Do you like it?"
Chen Xi looked at the gold and silver treasures hidden under the cabbage with a happy face, "Of course I like it. I don't like meat, but cabbage. You have a heart."
"Then, my lord, the cooperation we talked about last time"
"Don't worry, of course the cooperation can be concluded."
"My lord, it's not good. King Li led troops to surround the Chen residence, saying he was coming to investigate you!" At this moment, the panicked voice of the housekeeper of the Chen residence sounded outside.
"What? King Li is here? Hurry up, hide these things!" Chen Xi jumped up from the chair suddenly, looking terrified.
"Master Chen, this king has already seen it, and it's useless for you to hide!" At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the courtyard.
As soon as the voice fell, Chu Xuanchen, who was dressed in military uniform, had already led the Xuance army and walked in with awe-inspiring momentum.
Behind them, followed by a bunch of ordinary people watching the fun.
When Chen Xi saw this, his face turned earthy with fright, and his back felt cold, "My lord, youwhy are you here?"
Chu Xuanchen walked in coldly, and glanced at the basket, "If I don't come, I don't know that you, a famous and upright official, are a big moth. Mo Li, open his basket of cabbage and give it to the people." Let's see!"
When the common people heard this, they rushed in and stared at the basket expectantly.
Just now they were watching a play outside, but when the butler opened the door, King Li asked them to come in, saying that he wanted to arrest corrupt officials in front of them.
They rushed in, crowding the Chen residence to the brim.
After Mo Li took the order, he walked up to Chen Xi, and he brought the basket in front of the people, and picked off the cabbage on it with his sword.
As soon as the cabbage was picked apart, bags of gold ingots and silver were exposed, and those gold ingots shone like gold, dazzling everyone's eyes.
Everyone exclaimed instantly, "My God! Under the cabbage, there are actually gold and silver treasures hidden. It turns out Mr. Chen is not an honest official at all, but a corrupt official!"
"I thought he was clean and honest, but I didn't expect that he was using the name of delivering vegetables to embezzle and accept bribes. This trick is really clever!"
Chu Xuanchen looked at Chen Xi coldly, with a bloodthirsty killing intent on his face, "Chen Xi, this king caught you on the spot for taking bribes, what else can you say?"
Seeing this, Chen Xi and the wealthy businessman who gave the money were so frightened that their bodies went limp and they almost couldn't stand up.
Chen Xi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This official is not corrupt. These These treasures are indeed what he wanted to bribe this official, but this official refused. This official is a clean and honest official, and what I hate the most is this It¡¯s a kind of atmosphere. The official has already told him just now, and told him to take the treasure back quickly, but I didn¡¯t expect you to come, my lord!¡± (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
