Chapter 519 Bullying

Looking at Li Xiu and Ma Master in front of him, although Zhang Yue wanted to chop off his son Zhang Ju, he still couldn't do it in the end. After a while, he spoke again with shamelessness: "Duke Yan, General Ma, the child did something wrong this time, and the subordinates only hope that the two of them could spare the child once. The officials were willing to agree under any conditions."

"Don't talk about any conditions first, let your son go with me!" Mr. Ma suddenly stepped forward, then grabbed Zhang Ju and dragged him out, which scared Zhang Yue. Just as he was about to come forward to stop him, Li Xiu said, "Don't worry, Uncle Ma will not hurt your son!"

"Duke, what do you want to do?" Hearing Li Xiu's words, Zhang Yue stopped the trail and watched his son be dragged out, but he could not do anything, which made him both ashamed and annoyed.

"Haha, the son is not taught, the father's fault. Your son is not upright and approaching my sister with a bad intention is really courageous. However, this is also related to you, a father. If it weren't for your indulgence, he wouldn't have such courage. So you must give me and Uncle Ma an explanation for this matter!" Li Xiu smiled and said, but there was endless coldness in his smile.

"I wonder what the Duke of the State wants to explain?" Zhang Yue asked again. He had already accepted his fate at this time. As long as he could protect his son and Li Xiu's conditions were within his acceptance range, he could agree.

"It's actually very simple!" Li Xiu still smiled at this time. However, when he said this, the smile on his face suddenly turned into an unconcealed sneer, and then he spoke coldly again, "First, let your son take care of his mouth. If any rumors that damage my sister's reputation will come out in the future, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Don't worry, this matter is wrong for a child. I can also guarantee that he will never dare to reveal a word to the outside in the future!" Zhang Yue was relieved when he heard that Li Xiu's first condition was this. In his opinion, Li Xiu might just want to suppress this matter, so that he might not make things too difficult for them.

Seeing Zhang Yue agreeing and showing a relaxed expression, Li Xiu sneered again and said again: "Second, take your son away from Chang'an, and you will never be allowed to appear in Chang'an again!"

"What!" Zhang Yue couldn't help but stand up when he heard Li Xiu's condition. Then he asked in disbelief, "Duke, what do you mean? How could the subordinate work in the Ministry of Revenue?

"That's your problem, not mine. I only have one result now. Your father and son must leave Chang'an within three days and will never come back!" Li Xiu stared at Zhang Yue with a knife at this time. He rarely used his power to suppress others like he is now, but this time Zhang Ju has touched his bottom line. If he hadn't been afraid of something big and the bad reputation of He'er, he would probably have slashed people with Ma Ye.

"You... don't bully people too much!" Zhang Yue was also anxious at this time. He was in his prime and had already become an inspector of the Ministry of Revenue. He might even become a minister in the future. It can be said that this is an official position and status he had won for most of his life. Moreover, he has been an official for so many years, and he has offended many people. Relying on his important position, no one dared to touch him. If he resigned and returned home now, he would not dare to imagine what kind of humiliation he would face?

"It's too much to bully people?" Li Xiu sneered again at this time, "My Duke is bullying people today. What can you do to me?"

"You...I..." Hearing that Li Xiu shamelessly admitted that he was bullying him, Zhang Yue almost turned black in his eyes and almost fainted. He staggered for a moment before he stood firm, his face full of sadness and anger.

When Xu Jingzong, who was standing behind Li Xiu, saw this, he couldn't help but show a surprised and admiration at Li Xiu. He used to only hear that Li Xiu was extremely talented and had a good relationship with His Majesty, but now he found that Li Xiu's other side was so talented and shameless, no wonder he could sit at such a high position now.

"Duke Yan, don't bully people too much. The subordinates are at least the officials appointed by the court. Without His Majesty's will, no one can think of my official position!" Zhang Yue finally recovered his rationality and became tough at the moment. This was his last reliance. After all, if he lost his official position, his efforts in the first half of his life would be wasted.

"Haha, what a big tone!" Li Xiu showed a disdainful smile when he heard this, and then he said slowly, "If you are really a Qing Rushui and Ming Rushui official, your Duke really has no choice but to do anything to you, but you know what you do yourself. Do you think your Duke can't even deal with a corrupt official like you?"

When Li Xiu said the last time, he looked at Xu Jingzong next to him, which made Xu Jingzong understand immediately. He smiled and even bowed to Zhang Yue, and then said: "In October last year, His Majesty issued an order to divide the Yongye field for the people of the world. Inspector Zhang took advantage of his convenience in the Ministry of Revenue, although he did not dare to seek personal gain for himself, he distributed several times more land for his brothers and others in his hometown, totaling more than 700 acres. In March of the previous year, your son Zhang Ju had an affair with the wife of Chang'an County Magistrate, but was discovered by the other party. But you used your power to suppress this matter. Last June..."

Xu Jingzong often mingled with Zhang Ju. With his cleverness, he could naturally easily find many secrets from Zhang Ju, including the illegal acts that Zhang Yue had done. As a result, he has spoken them one by one. Every time he said something, Zhang Yue's face turned pale. I'm afraid he never dreamed that his son would tell outsiders what he did as a boastful capital.

Xu Jingzong talked about seven or eight illegal things that Zhang Yue had done in a row. The most serious of them was enough to dismiss Zhang Yue from office. However, what he did was very hidden, and some of them were even hidden rules in the officialdom. It would be fine if no one pursued them, but if someone pursued them, the consequences would be very serious. Li Xiu definitely had the ability to pursue them, which was equivalent to Zhang Yue being unable to handle being held by Li Xiu in his palm.

"Executor Zhang, the son has also boasted to me about many things related to you, but I think these should be enough. If not enough, I can continue to talk about it!" After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he smiled and continued to say that Zhang Yue offended Li Xiu and was over in his career, so he didn't have to worry about the other party's face at all.
