Who Is The Protagonist’s Best Friend? I Want To Be A Villain

"Your Majesty, this is the residence of Yang Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs."

After the carriage stopped, Xu Yuan reported to Cao Xu.

The curtain on the car was opened, and Cao Xu walked out.

In order to get down to business, Cao Xu temporarily put aside his flirting with Lu Qingli.

"See His Highness the King of Wei."

Yang Hui seemed to have gotten the news a long time ago and came out to greet him early, which gave Cao Xu plenty of face.

Today is different from the past. When I saw King Wei before, he would not pay attention to him.

But now, he is the commander of the Imperial City Department and has the same official position as him, and the prime minister has already sent someone to say hello.

"Yang Shangshu, this king is here under the orders of His Majesty to investigate corruption, perversion of the law and collusion with rebels."

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, I have never done anything corrupt and pervert the law, let alone collude with the rebels."

Yang Hui said quickly.

"Hahaha, Mr. Yang, don't worry too much. Those who are clean will clean themselves up. You are not the only one I want to investigate."

"Actually, I also believe that Mr. Yang is innocent, but this is all under His Majesty's orders."

After hearing Cao Xu's reminder and thinking about the Prime Minister sending someone to greet him before, Yang Hui knew in his heart that it was Emperor Qian who wanted to deal with him.

Not surprising, he is the prime minister's man, and Emperor Qian has always wanted to get rid of him.

When Cao Xu entered Yang Hui's mansion, the standard was indeed far different from that of the palace, and it even looked a bit simple.

"Show tea to His Highness the King of Wei."

After entering the hall, Cao Xu sat in the main seat.

As the commander of the Imperial City Division, he may not be able to take the throne, but Cao Xu is still the prince.

"No need, business is most important."

There are still several stores waiting for Cao Xu to come to his door, and he doesn't want to waste time here.

Yang Hui nodded and clapped his hands.

Soon, four people walked in from outside carrying a large wooden box.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei has come to my residence to make the flowers in my house shine. I have prepared some small gifts, but please accept them."

Cao Xu looked at the table with a smile.

Dian Wei, who was following Cao Xu, walked over and opened the box directly. The golden light was a bit dazzling.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Yang is indeed a loyal minister."

This box should contain ten thousand taels of gold, which is definitely not a small amount.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei is everywhere."

Yang Hui's seemingly loyal face showed a treacherous smile.

"I, the Great Qian Dynasty, need talents like Mr. Yang."

After receiving the money, it was time for Cao Xu to go to the next store.

"I have prepared a little wine, and I sincerely ask His Highness the King of Wei to please you."

"Next time, I have to go to the next house to investigate."

Cao Xu declined Yang Hui's invitation and left with the ten thousand taels of gold.

After Cao Xu left, Yang Hui felt a little sad.

A full ten thousand taels of gold was not a small sum for him, even though he, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, could often receive gifts and even secretly sell officials and nobles.

But he could only keep a small part of the money, and the rest needed to be given to the prime minister who promoted him.

After leaving Yang Hui, Cao Xu visited several officials above Third Grade.

They were all the people on the list given to him by Emperor Qian. At this time, there was another carriage behind Cao Xu's carriage, specially pulling gold, silver and jewelry.

After a whole day, Cao Xu returned home with a full load.

Except for a few ignorant people who took out hundreds of taels of gold just to fool Cao Xu and were captured back to the Imperial City Division, everyone else was safe and sound.

"Check how much gold there is in total."

What Cao Xu received was either gold or precious jewelry, not even silver.

Putting silver in this will lower the grade.

After counting for a long time, Butler Zhao finally counted them.

"My lord, these things are worth at least 120,000 taels of gold."

It’s true that Cao Xu visited the homes of dozens of officials in one day and gained a lot.

How much did Cao Xu ask for when he threatened Lin Ye? One million taels of silver, which when converted into gold was only about one hundred thousand taels.

He gained more from this day's visit than from threatening forestry.

The money they gave to Cao Xu was only a very small part of what they obtained through corruption.

The Great Qian Dynasty has so many "loyal ministers and good generals", so why worry about being destroyed?

If Cao Xu were the emperor of Daqian, all these "loyal ministers and good generals" would have to be stripped of their skins and grass.

Cao Xu not only got money, he also got villain points.

What he did was consistent with the behavior of a villain, and he gained 30,000 villain points.

"Obviously, I am doing good things by exploiting corrupt officials, but they say that I am in line with the behavior of a villain. I am obviously a good person."

Cao Xu put the money into the treasury with a wave of his hand.

When Cao Xu counted today's harvest, the backyard was not peaceful.

Lu Qingli looked at Su Lingxuan indifferently. Su Lingxuan also had a bad look after seeing Lu Qingli.

There was an atmosphere of tension between the two women as they looked at each other.

Lu Qingli is a lover. She will not resent Cao Xu for what happened in the past, so this resentment will naturally be passed on to Su Lingxuan.

What's more, Lu Qingli didn't like Su Lingxuan in the first place.

Su Lingxuan was also hostile to Lu Qingli because she already knew that Lu Qingli was the new princess mentioned by Cao Xu.

Now Su Lingxuan has very complicated emotions towards Cao Xu.

Ever since I followed Cao Xu to Zhenbei Palace and saw Lin Hao in a state of embarrassment in front of Cao Xu, my love for Lin Hao was somewhat shattered.

A woman cannot forget the man who took away her first time.

Cao Xu had mastered the passage to her soul, and had been passed by him over and over again countless times. Her resentment towards Cao Xu had dissipated unknowingly.

The body has been completely conquered by Cao Xu.

Once you are convinced, it is naturally not far from being convinced.

Anyway, at this time, she did not want her position to be taken away by another woman.

"In the backyard of the palace, outsiders are not allowed in."

Su Lingxuan looked at Lu Qingli with an unkind look and her tone was cold.

"Snapped!"

A slap made Su Lingxuan stagger.

After being slapped, Su Lingxuan's eyes widened in disbelief, and a surge of anger surged out of her heart.

"I am the future mistress of Prince Wei's Mansion. You said that I am an outsider and should be beaten."

Lu Qingli looked at Su Lingxuan indifferently, without any warmth in her eyes.

Lu Qingli was very happy at this time. She had wanted to hit this woman for a long time.

Su Lingxuan is not a woman who never fights back after suffering a loss. In addition to being beaten by Cao Xu, this was the second time she was slapped in the face.

Su Lingxuan slapped Lu Qingli back.

Not far away, the maids watching this scene panicked. The future mistress of the palace and the current mistress started fighting. Who should they help?

"I will inform the prince."

The maid in the palace quickly went to find Cao Xu.

The eldest maid is the leader among the maids and is responsible for managing the affairs of the backyard.
