Embroidered Uniform Guard: I Can Plunder Talents-Chapter 293 - 72: I Never Hold Grudges! I Settle Scores on the Spot (Part 3)
Ye Liuyun’s voice was already coming from outside.
"Meeting again, Lord Minister. We really are fated, aren’t we?"
"..."
Meeting me in my own residence—what kind of damned ’fate’ is this.
"Ye Liuyun, what exactly are you up to?"
Having been in power for many years, he took in the Embroidered Uniform Guards behind Ye Liuyun without any sign of fear.
Instead, he raised his voice and questioned Ye Liuyun sternly.
"I am the Minister of Revenue! For you to barge into my estate like this—aren’t you afraid of my retaliation?"
If he were, he wouldn’t have come in the first place.
Ye Liuyun shrugged with a face full of indifference.
Then, waving his hand impatiently, he spoke.
"Alright, alright! Didn’t I already say everything that needed to be said this morning in court? If Lord Minister wants revenge, I’m always available, but for now don’t interrupt my work!"
With that—
Ye Liuyun waved to his subordinates.
"Search!"
With this order—
The Embroidered Uniform Guards instantly charged into every part of the mansion.
The maids were clearly terrified and scattered in all directions, whereas some of the servants had some guts and tried to block the way. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
But unfortunately—
This time, Ye Liuyun didn’t even need to say anything.
"Smack!"
Seeing someone try to stop them, a guard directly sent one flying with a single slap.
"Out of the way!"
Hell, they’d already raided a prince’s residence—so what’s a little Minister of Revenue’s house in comparison!
"Master!"
The Minister’s young and beautiful wives and concubines had never seen a scene like this before.
They hurriedly squeezed behind the Minister of Revenue for protection.
"Talk about living the good life!"
Ye Liuyun couldn’t resist making a comment.
This Minister of Revenue looked like he was in his seventies or eighties, but these concubines—none of them seemed over twenty. Truly, the body grows old, but the heart stays young.
"Ye Liuyun! What are you trying to do!"
Noticing Ye Liuyun’s gaze—
The Minister instantly raised his hand, shielding his wives and concubines behind him, glaring angrily at Ye Liuyun.
Looking as if if Ye Liuyun tried anything, he’d fight Ye Liuyun to the death on the spot.
"Relax, I don’t have any special... appetites!"
Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes in exasperation.
I haven’t even done anything and you’re this guarded—no wonder my reputation keeps getting trashed by people like you.
"I’m just curious—with the Minister at your age, does that thing still work?"
As he spoke, Ye Liuyun even made a show of looking the Minister up and down.
A knowing smirk crept onto his face!
"..."
Maybe it struck a sore spot—the Minister’s face grew red by the second, getting quite heated up.
"And how, exactly, is any of that your business!"
True enough.
At the Minister’s age, there are indeed things that are a struggle now.
But he simply liked young and pretty women around him—even if it’s just for show, it’s still a pleasant sight.
"No reason, really, just curious. And I’m someone who likes to help others—if Lord Minister needs any help, I won’t say no!"
"???"
Help? Help with what?
The Minister was confused for a moment, but quickly caught on.
"Get out of my sight! I don’t need your damn help!"
"Such a bad temper!"
Ye Liuyun didn’t care at all and shrugged nonchalantly.
"You just don’t know a good heart when you see one!"
He really was just trying to be helpful, that’s all.
Sigh!
These days, it’s hard to be a good person.
Meanwhile, the young mistresses hiding behind the Minister sneaked a few more glances at Ye Liuyun. His bold posture clearly sparked something in their eyes.
Too bad—
The Minister didn’t notice any of this.
Otherwise—
He might have actually coughed up blood from sheer rage.
...
Soon, chest after chest of precious treasures and money were carried out.
Even a casual look showed that the amount far exceeded what was found in Prince An Yan Jiang’s residence.
"People always say the Ministry of Revenue has the most fat to skim, and seeing it today, I believe it!"
Watching the endless stream of loot being moved out of the house—
Ye Liuyun grinned at the Minister.
"..."
At this point, the Minister actually calmed down.
The anger from before was gone from his face.
He turned to look at Ye Liuyun seriously.
"You can take all this money. I won’t pursue responsibility. Let’s consider our grudge settled. How about it?"
The Minister was clearly trying to buy off his feud with Ye Liuyun with this money.
As long as he kept his position, he could always earn the money back, so what’s there to be sad about?
"You’re quite the smart one!"
Ye Liuyun looked at him with some surprise.
He hadn’t expected the man to be so decisive.
"Since you’re a smart man, you should realize that continuing to back Prince An Yan Jiang is a dead end!"
Even if he was formerly the Crown Prince—
But Yan Jiang’s chances at taking the throne now are virtually zero.
Are these people really so loyal they’re happy to go down with the ship?
Hearing this, the Minister shook his head instead.
"Some things—once you’re involved, backing out isn’t as simple as you think."
Maybe Prince An Yan Jiang has something on these people.
Back then, An Yan Jiang really did have the greatest chance to become emperor.
But who could have guessed—the old emperor would choose to go into seclusion now, claiming he’s about to break through to the Land Immortal realm.
Guess it’s true—man proposes, but heaven disposes!
Of course—
None of this had anything to do with Ye Liuyun. If there’s trouble to make, Ye Liuyun would still go make it!
...
