Chapter 214 Blackmail
"Sir, the list is here!"
Upon receiving the list, Tang Yu was stunned.
Good guy, really good guy!
He's useless at everything, but he's number one at betraying his teammates!
To encounter such a terrible teammate is pure bad luck.
Filled with deep contempt for him, Tang Yu accepted the list.
Tang Yu gasped when he saw the long list in his hand.
He never expected that this bastard would betray his teammates so quickly, and in such a long string.
Tang Yu couldn't help but contribute his own efforts to combating global warming.
After all, he had a list of more than a dozen companies.
Looking at the names, they were all famous 'philanthropists' in Xianyang City!
It's just that there are no streetlights in this era, otherwise they would all have been put up.
Thinking of this, Tang Yu decided not to take action himself and snapped his fingers behind him.
Shen Lang suddenly sprang out from the bushes behind Tang Yu, dressed in clothing resembling modern camouflage.
Yes, this clothing was made by Lü Zhi's cloth shop at Tang Yu's request.
The primary function of this garment is camouflage; perhaps it lacks the imposing and dashing appearance of a flying fish robe or armor.
But this thing...
Even if he were to approach you at night, you wouldn't know.
It's practically a must-have for murder, robbery, home, and travel.
In order to make this dress shine in this era ahead of time, and also so that Lü Zhi could enjoy exclusive copyright.
Tang Yu has already signed a large order for Lü Zhi's shop in an official capacity.
Lü Zhi is unaware of this good news yet, and is waiting for Tang Yu to return to his courtyard so he can tell her.
At first, Lü Zhi was curious about the purpose of the clothes designed by Tang Yu.
After all, these strips of cloth, with their strange shape, really didn't look like normal clothes.
Now Lü Zhi understands the wonder of this garment and is greatly impressed.
"Go and invite them to donate money according to this list. Tell them it's my order and have them pay one by one!"
Shen Lang looked at the list in his hand, remained silent for three seconds, and then immediately cupped his hands in respect.
"Yes, I will go right away."
Right behind Shen Lang, a group of Imperial Guards dressed in flying fish robes dispersed in all directions.
"thump."
His legs buckled, and Li Zitong knelt on the ground again.
Tang Yu smiled and helped him up.
"Lord Li, why are you doing this? We are colleagues, why are you kneeling before me for no reason?"
"If word gets out, it will make people afraid of me, the Imperial Advisor Tang Yu, and my reputation will be ruined."
"Yes, yes, the Grand Preceptor is right. It was my cowardice that caused you trouble."
Looking at Tang Yu in front of him, Li Zitong's heart almost stopped beating.
Damn it, the King of Hell only comes to see me once a day, this time he comes back again, it's absolutely maddening.
Thinking of this, Li Zitong was so angry that he almost fainted.
However, he had no choice but to cooperate with Tang Yu.
At the same time, he was already calculating in his mind how much of the people's wealth he would need to plunder to make up for the losses he had just suffered.
However, Tang Yu's next words made his heart stop beating.
"Lord Li, although I believe you are an upright and good official, the Embroidered Uniform Guard still has to give an explanation, doesn't it?"
"Although it is not convenient to disclose the specific whereabouts of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, as the commander-in-chief and a good friend of Lord Li."
"I think it's still necessary to give Lord Li a heads-up."
"Our Embroidered Uniform Guard will conduct unscheduled surveillance on some officials and record their words and actions in real time. Lord Li, you must be very careful then."
"If someone really framed him, and there is evidence that Lord Li has plundered the people's wealth and accepted bribes, then he probably won't be able to clear his name. Such evidence alone cannot prove Lord Li's innocence."
After Tang Yu left Li Zitong's residence, Li Zitong felt utterly hopeless and collapsed to the ground.
He never expected that Tang Yu would be so ruthless and unscrupulous, even cutting off all his escape routes.
The only good thing was that they spared his life.
Yes, he should be grateful he's still alive. Otherwise, given Tang Yu's methods, he would probably be dead by now.
However, Tang Yu naturally had no intention of letting such a person go.
But right now, there really isn't enough officials, so we can only monitor them for the time being.
Once someone emerges to replace these corrupt officials, their homes will be raided, all their assets will be confiscated and returned to their original source, and used as part of the welfare distributed to the people.
If Li Zitong knew Tang Yu's thoughts, he would probably be even more devastated. After all, even after all he's done, Tang Yu still hasn't let him go and is still keeping his sights on him.
Don't mess with Tang Yu, no matter who you are!
Tang Yu looked at the list of officials in his hand and handed a copy to Cun Shenlang, but he felt that the money was far from enough.
With that thought in mind, he turned and headed towards the location of the nobles from the six kingdoms.
How can you defeated people, you guilty people of Qin, still swagger around in your palaces enjoying wealth and luxury?
That's because Brother Zheng is kind-hearted.
I, Tang Yu, am not a kind person.
They even recreated a palace for you, a one-to-one replica, so you could live there.
Wow, Brother Zheng is such a kind-hearted person.
The more Tang Yu thought about it, the more he felt that the historical evaluation of Ying Zheng was really biased.
After all, if you think about it carefully, although Ying Zheng destroyed these six states, he was actually very kind to the nobles of these six states.
They recreated their original palace in the area to a 1:1 scale, made them live comfortably, and provided them with countless servants.
Aside from no longer being members of the royal family, their lives haven't deteriorated much compared to before.
If it were Tang Yu, you wouldn't be living in a palace, you'd be lucky to even have a doghouse to sleep in.
With this in mind, Tang Yu quickened his pace toward the nobles of the six kingdoms.
At this moment, Ying Zheng, with a puzzled look on his brow, looked at a secret agent from the Black Ice Platform and said...
"You mean Shen Lang took all the Imperial Guards out today?"
The Black Ice Guard agent nodded: "Yes, I heard that the Grand Preceptor has a secret mission that requires the cooperation of these Imperial Guards."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng lost interest.
"Oh, in that case, it's alright then."
"But Your Majesty, the Grand Preceptor has gone to such lengths, even visiting the homes of many high-ranking officials in our Qin state, without informing Your Majesty. Is this not inappropriate?"
Ying Zheng frowned as he looked at the hesitant Black Ice Guard agents in front of him.
He asked in a somewhat cold tone, "What? Could it be that you're not one of the Grand Preceptor's men?"
