Chapter 31
Empress Li Qingcheng didn't immediately recall Taifu Zhang Song's words.

She looked at the man standing in front of the hall seriously.

I looked at it intently for several times.

She still didn't see a trace of timidity on the other's face.

This made Li Qingcheng's heartstrings slightly tensed, and slightly eased.

It is different from ministers like Zhang Song and Li Yazhi.

For a person who dared to destroy her own clan and devote herself to righteousness, her subconscious mind was still more willing to trust Xiao Yi.

Li Qingcheng also hoped that Xiao Yi was not a greedy person.

But what about those ordinary people who are patched and plainly dressed?
Empress Li Qingcheng narrowed her eyes a little, and then looked at the crowd standing at the bottom of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

These ordinary people must be ordinary people, standing on top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony of such a scale, their bodies were trembling non-stop.

Taking a deep breath, the empress waved her hand forward.

She intends to wait and see what happens next.

The eunuch next to him immediately walked out of the bead curtain and came to the crowd.

He pointed to the dozen or so people standing at the front, without saying anything else, and started asking directly.

"Wait a few people, let's start first."

The dozen or so people who were selected were dressed in gold and silver, and were well-dressed. They must also be rich and powerful.

Their faces were normal.

Several people looked at each other several times, and then began to speak.

"Caomin is the owner of Taihe Restaurant in Xicheng, Yanjing. Yu Xuan, presented a spiritual sword to Mr. Shoufu, which is very precious."

"The humble post is the commander of the Yulin Guard, Yu Bin, and I will give Lord Shoufu a piece of beautiful jade engraved with a unicorn."

"Pindao is an elder of the Changming Sect. He gave Mr. Shoufu a dozen talismans, which can keep the house safe and drive away evil spirits."

……

According to this order, the dozens of people told all the things they gave.

As they spoke one by one, more and more people showed surprise among the crowd who bowed their heads behind.

So much so that some people plucked up their courage and peeked up at the person who answered in front of them.

The confrontation continues.

But the faces of the ministers have all changed.

According to this statement, how big a fortune would the gifts of these people be together?
As for Tai Fu Zhang Song, his face was filled with unbearable excitement.

As the current imperial tutor, with the support of a fairy gate like Canglongmen behind him, things like these are naturally not taken seriously by him.

However, the more gold, silver and treasure Xiao Yi collected, it proved that he was not a martyr at all, an upright person.

Inquiry continues.

Many more spoke of their own gifts.

There are magical artifacts, antique calligraphy and paintings...

All are treasures among treasures.

At this time, at the highest point of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, behind the bead curtain.

Empress Li Qingcheng's complexion gradually became serious.

The gifts that are searched in this way are really not small!

After taking a few deep breaths, she didn't bother to wait any longer.

He directly interrupted the inquiries of the eunuchs.

"What kind of gift do you accept in return? Explain everything clearly."

Although her voice was calm, everyone could hear the unkindness in her tone.

Grand Tutor Zhang Song, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and others all looked at each other and smiled.

However, Xiao Yi remained calm, looking at the group of people in front of him calmly, waiting for their reply.

"What Cao Min received was a piece of beautiful jade."

"It is engraved with the mythical beast Qilin."

Yu Xuan, the owner of Taihe Restaurant, returned with a strange expression on his face. After speaking, he looked strange and glanced at Yu Bin, the commander of the Yulin Guard, in front of him.

Yu Bin also looked back at Yu Xuan.

"The humble job received a spirit sword, which is extremely precious."

Hearing this, the ministers were all stunned, and the Empress Li Qingcheng was also stunned.

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth at the end, she thought she should have understood.

Above the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Everyone reported the gifts they received in return.

After a circle, the ministers have already understood.

This so-called return gift is simply tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

The gift received from Li Si was sent to Zhang San's home.

And the value of the gift in return is basically the same as the gift he received.

"It's impossible..."

Discussions came from the side.

The ministers stared straight at Xiao Yi from time to time.

Even Grand Tutor Zhang Song, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and others had expressions of disbelief.

This kind of thing makes them, ministers who are used to collecting money for their affairs, feel incredible.

Is there anyone in this world who doesn't love money?

Actually let him turn around like this?
That's the position of chief assistant, isn't it just a nail in the coffin?

How can this be good?

Taifu Zhang Song, who was extremely anxious, thought about it, hoping to find a way to break the situation.

His eyes swept to the people at the bottom of the hall, and his heart moved, he waved his hands quietly behind.

The two next to me wrote the letter and immediately understood.

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Li Yazhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, stood up again.

"These people before the main hall are either rich or noble."

"Master Shoufu will naturally not lose the courtesy, and the gifts he gives are of equal value!"

"But apart from them, the gifts given by the ordinary people behind will not be so cheap."

"Whether they received the gift in return, however, is hard to say."

"There are so many of these working people, I'm afraid that the gifts they give will add up to a lot of wealth!"

"These are all the people of my Great Qin Dynasty!"

The words of Li Yazhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, were heartbreaking, and his words also made the ministers pay attention to the ordinary people in plain clothes and patched clothes in the rear.

Above the main hall, it became quiet again.

Only Xiao Yi turned around slightly and glanced at Li Yazhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, with a strange expression on his face.

The gifts from the common people...

Does this Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry really want to die that much?
Empress Li Qingcheng took another look at Xiao Yi.

Finding that the other party still has a calm face, he feels a lot more at ease now.

What happened just now has proved that Xiao Yi is not a person who is greedy for wine, sex, beauty, gold, silver and treasure.

All the gifts given to him by the powerful ministers were given back by him one by one.

Coupled with what happened during this period, Empress Li Qingcheng still believes that Xiao Yi is not that kind of person.

She waved again.

"Go and ask these common people."

"Remember not to be too rude, and don't scare my people."

A father-in-law standing next to Li Qingcheng took the order and left.

He walked to the bottom of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, looked at the shivering common people, and asked slowly in an extremely gentle tone.

"You must have heard it just now."

"His Majesty the Emperor asked our family to ask everyone, what gift did you give Mr. Xiao yesterday?"

These ordinary people had never seen such a battle before, and they looked around one by one, hoping that someone would stand up and speak.

The eunuch also knew that these people hadn't seen much of the world, so he wasn't in a hurry at the moment, but just waited quietly.

After a long time, a man with a white vest and a goatee came out.

He bowed to the eunuch and saluted, imitating the same answer he heard from those dignitaries just now.

"Grassman Sun Lixue."

"Yes...they were from Yizhuang next to the execution ground that day."

"I gave Lord Xiao a portrait of Zhong Kui, which was painted with our ancestral handicraft, and it can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters."

The ministers were all stunned.

A portrait of Zhong Kui?

Could it be, what kind of precious magic weapon?

From Yizhuang?

Could it be that it contains some kind of cultivation method or something?
The eunuch glanced at the bead curtain on the Hall of Supreme Harmony, then turned around and asked.

"What kind of portrait of Zhong Kui is that?"

"How much is it worth?"

"What's your gift in return?"

Sun Lixue blushed and was silent for a while before replying.

"It's just an ordinary portrait of Zhong Kui, probably worth about two Wen."

"No return."

After a while, he seemed to remember something.

"That thing is not worth much, of course there is no need for a gift in return, and it is not worth asking for a gift in return."

The eunuch was also taken aback when he heard this.

That's it?
