Chapter 147 I am Zhong Kui from the Xuanming Sect, Tian Anxing, please let me go!
The owner of Yichunyuan is named Hu San. When he was young, he was a ruthless man who could kill his way out of an alley full of more than ten people with a knife. But now, he is old, has a family, and has grandchildren. When faced with a tough guy like Quinn, Hu San wisely gives in.

Seeing Quinn swaggering into the superior box, Hu San walked downstairs, and the thugs who were knocked to the ground by Quinn followed him one by one.

"Master, this guy is a tough guy. Why don't we gather more brothers and kill him!" A thug from Yichunyuan who was knocked to the ground by Quinn with one hand just now whispered to Hu San.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Hu San's eyes. It was not difficult for him to kill a person, especially on his territory. But then Hu San sighed and said, "Go and do what that person says. We can't afford to offend him."

Hu San has been in the underworld for many years, and although his status has never been high or low, he has at least developed some vision. This middle-aged man with a big beard should be at the level of a big star. Just look at the moves he made just now, which were crisp and clear, with a military style. Such a person can make a career no matter which force he is in.

Judging from the conversation just now, this bearded man of high star status is actually just an errand boy. It seems that he is just a small figure in the power behind him. How can Hu San afford to offend such an existence? If the other party has the intention to kill him, his death is a small matter. How can his family survive in this chaotic world?

Quinn sat on a stool with his feet on the table, watching the top performer of Yichun Court singing a song. He poured himself a glass of wine with satisfaction and took a sip. It was a kind of enjoyment. It was indeed easy to go on a mission, especially this kind of mission...

On the other side, in Tianqing Tower, Li Mang also got all the information about the high-ranking officials of Liang State in Luoyang. However, when he looked at the names of officials appearing on the list in his hand, he couldn't help but twitching his mouth slightly. There were so many names on the list, from the eighth-rank clerk to the second-rank official, there was not a single one who was not greedy. Li Mang was a little curious about how much money these people had embezzled.

Li Mang put the roster away. Now that he had the specific names, it would be easier for the Bad Guys to take action. On a dark and windy night, it was time to look through the account books!

Why did corrupt officials in ancient times like to keep account books? If they didn't keep accounts, wouldn't the higher-ups be unable to find out anything? How could they be investigated without direct evidence?

Yes, it is not easy to be checked if you don’t keep accounts.

But if you don't keep accounts, the party you bribed can pretend that you never bribed them. The other party will refuse to admit it, and you have no evidence to prove that the other party accepted your embezzlement. Why?
Therefore, in order to protect their own interests, corrupt officials keep account books to ensure that they have the ability to fight to the death. The account books contain detailed records, such as a pair of jade ruyi, a piece of blood coral, and an East China Sea night pearl. Only such detailed records can guarantee the interests of the briber.

The ledger does leave security risks, but it also ensures the stability of transactions between both parties, and over time it has formed its own set of industry standards.

At the same time, corrupt officials do not embezzle money only once. The long-term and huge amount of embezzlement puts a great test on their memory. No one can sort out their wealth without keeping accounts. And if they don’t keep accounts, who can guarantee that the people below will not be corrupt?

It is impossible for you to guard your own warehouse yourself. If you don't keep accounts, are you just waiting for a bunch of 'rats' to eat up all your savings?
It is for this reason that account books have become the best weapon to catch corrupt officials.

When Li Mang left with the consumption list of Tianqinglou, a murderous autumn wind swept across Luoyang...

Luoyang, night!

Hundreds of black-clad men shuttled through the streets and alleys of Luoyang City. There were not only bad people wearing Xuanming Sect leather armor, but also Xuanming Sect elites. They broke into the homes of some officials with a clear purpose, and they did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but just snatched ordinary-looking booklets...

The officials who were robbed could only sit on the ground with pale faces, watching the group of men in black disappear from their sight, muttering, "It's over, it's all over."

At this time, there is a curfew in the city and all the gates of Luoyang are closed!
……

"Your Highness, when will you leave?" Zhong Xiaokui, wearing a black long dress, walked slowly into Li Xingyun's tent. She looked at Li Xingyun who was marking something on a map and asked reluctantly.

"It won't take more than ten days. The reconstruction work in Chang'an has already begun. My original plan was to revitalize Guanzhong, with Guanzhong and Fengxiang as the cornerstones. The training of the Tian'an Army cannot be completed overnight anyway, so I might as well go back and deal with the affairs of Guanzhong first."

Li Xingyun turned around and looked at Zhong Xiaokui and sighed, "I've been really busy lately and haven't had much time to spend with you."

"It's okay." Zhong Xiaokui pursed her lips and walked forward to throw herself into Li Xingyun's arms and said, "Your Highness is going to do great things. Xiaokui doesn't need Your Highness to spend energy accompanying you. Xiaokui will only follow Your Highness's steps and keep walking with You."

Sometimes love words don't need to be too sweet. Saying what you think in your heart is the most beautiful love word. Li Xingyun's heart was warmed. When he first met Zhong Xiaokui, he really didn't expect that the relationship would develop to this point. Their familiarity was really unexpected.

Zhong Xiaokui naturally felt Li Xingyun's intentions. Although there was clothing between them, she still felt a throbbing from the soul when the big hands gradually slid across her back and hugged her tightly. She liked the feeling of being hugged by His Highness. This feeling of not being abandoned made her so fascinated. Zhong Xiaokui's eyes could not help but flash through scenes of herself losing her family. She would never lose them again, absolutely not!
Li Xingyun gently lifted up his hands, one person lowered his head, and the other looked up. Two people in love do not need to deliberately cater to each other. One person taking the initiative will only be a clown. When two people take the initiative, that is true love that is unable to extricate themselves.

……

Suddenly, Zhong Xiaokui stopped Li Xingyun's arm, blushing slightly, and said, "Your Highness, can you wear this dress?"

"Huh?" Li Xingyun looked at Zhong Xiaokui with strange eyes. The last time this little girl was beaten, she refused to let him take off his clothes. What, a new habit?

"I'm Zhong Kui from the Xuanming Sect, also known as Tian'an Star, let me go!" Zhong Xiaokui blinked and shouted at Li Xingyun. His tone was gentle, but a bit timid, which made Li Xingyun couldn't help laughing. Okay, okay, you boy, you know how to play!

Snapped!
Li Xingyun mercilessly slapped her, causing Zhong Xiaokui's whole body to tremble slightly. Her face turned red, like a ripe apple. Her cherry lips hummed softly. The girl turned around obediently, bent her waist and raised her head. Of course, the girl's stubborn mouth still shouted loudly: "I will not give in! Even if you beat me to death, I will not betray Xuanming Sect!"
