Currently, Lion can truly be said to be at the mercy of the sword, falling wherever and whenever it desires.
Therefore, once an opportunity arises, he immediately transforms it into strength.
According to Lion's command ---
"Ding! The master of greed embezzled 45 thousand taels of gold and silver treasures, a large sum of money, and awarded it in accordance with the King Author (mature) model!"
A strong force quickly merged into Lion's body.
Immediately after, there was also a set of memories that merged into his mind.
Lion knew that he was absorbing the power creation method, and then sitting down to consolidate it.
And at this moment, inside the court palace.
A guard reported the situation to the Empress in the direction.
"Report to Your Majesty, Lion in the new position below has made rapid progress! 28 officials under the jurisdiction have been confiscated, with a total value of 600 thousand taels of treasure! Your Majesty is requested to judge!"
The Empress stood up from her seat: "How could this happen? As court officials, they should serve as moral exemplars for the dynasty, but not only have they failed to set a good example, but they also embezzled 600 thousand taels of treasure, which is more than 20,000 taels per person! From this, we can see how the dynasty has been corroded. I am afraid that even my imagination cannot conceive of how bad it is!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The guard bowed and said.
"How can you make me calm down?" The Empress said angrily: "They have siphoned off the dynasty's wealth, not only without considering my hardship but also dragging me down. I hate that I cannot dismember them! Investigate each and every one of them clearly and give me a detailed report! If the situation is unclear, they will be punished for one year and their position will be under review! If they know the situation and still commit crimes, immediately bring them to me and shave their heads and throw them into the labour camp!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guard said respectfully.
Despite her calm demeanour, the Empress was still uneasy.
If it were not for the scarcity of talent in the dynasty, where would she open up a path and spare their lives?
It's just that she hasn't been in power for long, and there are too few people she can trust.
The royal court cannot abandon these people during transportation, so they are restrained everywhere and can only kill a few small shrimp and crabs to remove the fire!
Looking at the appearance of the guard, it seems like they want to say something. The Empress frowned and said, "Is there anything else to say?"
"Your Majesty, it's related to the new state scholar, Lion!"
"Lion?"
When the Empress saw the name Lion, her eyelashes stretched out slightly.
Among all the officials in the court, the person she appreciated the most was Lion.
Although he was not from a noble family, he had excellent academic achievements and was compassionate towards the people, never afraid of taking on important responsibilities. She was determined to nurture him to become her right-hand man in the future.
The only drawback was that he was too young and lacked experience in the court, and thus, could not bear heavy responsibilities yet.
However, she really wanted to promote Lion to a higher position.
"What's the matter related to him? Speak!" The Empress smiled.
"Your Majesty, it's like this!" The guard looked at the Empress's face cautiously and said, "During the assessment for the new state scholar position, Lion took 450,000 taels of treasures, leaving only 150,000 taels to the country!"
The Empress's smile on her face froze as time passed.
She couldn't help but clench her fists tightly as if she wanted to beat someone to death.
This despicable prince!
He embezzled such a large amount of money and threw the scraps at her!
When he was so actively helping her before, even harming her a bit, she was somewhat touched. It turns out that he had been scheming for a long time!"
You wretched and despicable person, you deserve to die! Do you understand the crime of treason?
Do you have any sense of loyalty left in your heart?
"You go down first!" The Empress weakly waved her hand.
"Yes, your highness!" A guard retreated outside.
One moment, said the Empress calmly, "Marry, you have heard. Come and help me take a look!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" A white figure flashed and disappeared.
At this time, Lion had completed the absorption of the King Author's martial arts.
His cultivation had not increased at all, but his true strength had improved significantly, enough to deal with other similar Heavenly experts without any problem.
The reason for this was that the King Author's martial arts had some suitable techniques for him.
For example, he had received a very strict system of martial arts education since he was young, and his foundation was very solid, which was incomparable to a prince.
He knew many martial arts techniques, such as boxing, and swordsmanship,… which enriched his offensive and defensive techniques.
However, the most important thing was the Nine Swords of Solitary Sky!
This set of swordsmanship had been passed down to Sword Demons, and countless people dreamed of mastering its ultimate skill!
No moves could beat it, making people take the weak to win the strong, ten parts of superiority!
"Now I am also considered a master swordsman!" Mr Lion was extremely excited.
As a man, who did not dream of holding a sword to conquer the world?
As he arrived in this high-level martial arts world, it would be a pity not to venture out and explore!
However, he did not plan to become an official and thus not be able to realize this dream.
With his sword, he could meet brave heroes and beautiful women and help resolve any disputes.
He could draw his sword to help those who faced injustice, and as a person with a similar sword, he could admire the beauty of others' techniques!
After some thought, he was pleased with his plan!
"Better handle official business first before seeking personal gain!"
Lion destroyed the wealth in the treasure chest and changed back into his black clothes, disguising himself to go seek personal gain.
Unaware, he was followed by a white shadow behind him.
