Hearing the words of the young man in black, the middle-aged Taoist priest couldn't help but frown slightly. He just saw that the young man was also a member of the sect, so he didn't care too much about him. But he didn't expect that the young man in black would actually talk to him.

Before the Taoist priest could say something, the impatient Monk Yuanzhi asked directly: "Boy, who are you?"

Hearing Yuanzhi's question, the young man in black did not rush to answer, but accelerated his movements. He ate all the food on the table like a wind and clouds, then stood up and walked towards Yuanzhi and the others.

"Himmer~"

Perhaps because of the rush to eat, the young man in black couldn't help but burp when he came over, but he didn't care. He walked up to the two of them and bowed seriously.

"The younger generation of the Shunyin Valley Qi Xiu has met two seniors."

"Sound Valley?"

Yuanzhi suddenly realized when he heard the name of the sect, "Oh, it turns out it is the sect that plays with birds."

Hearing Yuanzhi's words, Qi Xiu couldn't help but brow. They were good at taming birds and beasts. The methods of taming birds such as the letter eagle and pigeon used by the Great Zhou court were basically circulated from their sound valley.

This is also the reason why the name of their sect’s Sound Valley comes from, so it is reasonable to say that their sect is a bird-playing game.

But this was said from Monk Yuanzhi, which seemed particularly worthy of being beaten, so Qi Xiu said with a smile: "The master has been in the world for many years, and now it seems that he has a profound cultivation level."

"That's...huh?"

When Yuan Zhi heard Qi Xiu praise his strong cultivation, he was just as proud of himself, but suddenly felt something was wrong, "Boy, aren't you going to be next to these two sentences? What does walking in the world have to do with advanced cultivation? Do you have something to say in your words?"

"Can't you hear this?"

The Taoist priest on the side laughed a little when he heard this, "What this young man means is that if you hadn't had a strong cultivation level, you would have been beaten to death."

After saying that, the Taoist priest ignored Monk Yuanzhi and bowed to Qi Xiu and said, "I have met my friend."

"It's not good to curse people, and it's so twisted and turns."

Yuanzhi muttered, but he was not angry because of this. After all, he said that he was from the other sect first, so it was appropriate to be scolded. However, thinking of what Qi Xiu said before, Yuanzhi stared at Qi Xiu again:

"By the way, boy, who did you just say is superficial?"

"If you can't say a word today, don't blame the Sa family for bullying the small ones and beat you up."

"Don't worry, sit down and chat slowly."

Yuheng made a smooth move, pulled Qi Xiu to sit down, and then said, "I heard what my friend said just now. It seems that he has different opinions on this matter. It is better to sit down and speak freely. Even if he says it wrong, it doesn't matter."

"You are so stubborn, you will pretend to be a good person."

Seeing Yuheng smoothing out the situation, Yuanzhi just muttered and said nothing else.

Qi Xiu was not afraid at all. After sitting down, he first apologized to the two of them: "Forgive me, two seniors, I didn't mean to contradict me, but I felt that those words were really unfair to King Zizai."

"What's injustice?"

Yuanzhi retorted: "Since the Sa family entered the city, I have heard that Mo Zizai not only killed ministers but also searched the house at any time, but also beheaded all the innocent merchants in the capital for money without reason. You even speak out for him injustice for such an indiscriminate killing of innocent people."

"Innocent, they deserve the word innocent?"

Qi Xiu laughed disdainfully, "I have a good relationship with the imperial court and know more about the affairs in the imperial court than the two."

"The master only knows that King Zizai has scouted the ministers' houses, so do you know how much money he has collected from those ministers' houses?"

"It is true that he killed all the merchants in the capital for money, but before killing these merchants, His Majesty raised funds from these merchants, hoping that they could contribute funds to the three counties. Do you know how much money these big merchants with a net worth of more than one million?"

Qi Xiu asked Yuanzhi and Yuheng these two questions. The folk rumors only said that Mo Zizai killed people and searched the house, but no one had ever said the specific one.

Yuanzhi touched the bald head, thought for a while and said, "It is impossible for the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty to expect them not to be greedy, so if they searched their house, they could probably copy out tens of thousands... no, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

Judging from Qi Xiu's expression, Yuanzhi felt that these officials would definitely not be greedy for less money, so he originally wanted to say that he had tens of thousands of taels of silver, but he directly increased the amount ten times. He felt that even if the corrupt officials were cruel, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver should be almost the same.

After all, in addition to some special expenses, his huge Jinlian Temple costs only tens of thousands of taels of silver in the year.

"Ha, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are not even a fraction in their eyes..."

Qi Xiu sneered and shook his head. He raised a finger and said to Yuanzhi, "It's more than 10 million taels, and this is just the silver copied from the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

"More than ten thousand taels?!!"

Yuanzhi's tone suddenly increased several times, and both of him and Yuheng were frightened by this amazing number.

"Zhimo! Where did he get so much money?"

Yuan Zhi, who came to his senses, said furiously: "No wonder my Great Zhou court has no money every year. With this money, he was greedy for these bitches!"

"It's no exaggeration to kill him a hundred times!"

"well……"

Unlike the irritable Yuanzhi, Yuheng just sighed quietly and said, "I have known that officials are seriously corrupt, but I didn't expect that it would be so serious."

"A mere minister of the Ministry of Revenue can greedy for so much money. What about the Minister of Revenue? What about other Ministers? Are they greedy for more?"

"yes!"

Yuanzhi came back to his senses and asked, "Well...Why didn't King Zizai confiscate all the family of these Shangshu to see how much money these traitors have greedy for the imperial court!"

Yuanzhi, who just felt that Mo Zizai should kill, immediately changed his position, and subconsciously changed the title of Mo Zizai to a respectful title.

"If I could kill the King of Zizai, I would definitely not be lenient."

Qi Xiu shook his head helplessly and said, "But there are few civil and military officials in the court who are not greedy. If they are killed, the court will be paralyzed immediately."

"hateful!"

Yuan Zhi slapped the table again with his hands, "It's really cheap for them to let go of these traitors like this."

"How can you let them go easily? This time His Majesty married the prince. The prince said that every corrupt official must pay half of his net worth as a gift, so that those corrupt officials can give him a lot of blood."

Qi Xiu's words were filled with a hint of pride, "As far as I know, the Minister of Revenue alone paid 10 million taels of silver. Although other officials don't know how much they paid, I think there are many."

"Hahaha, that's what it should be."
