Strange Tales: You're an Official, but you're raising a bunch of Demonessess? - Chapter 47
Chapter 47: The minister is greedy for power, loves money, and is lustful!
“Your Majesty, I have another request.”
Listening to the old emperor’s ramblings wasn’t as pleasant as returning to the room and embracing Dragon Sister.
Bai Yu didn’t want to work overtime. He was about to leave. Before leaving, he seemed to remember something and gestured towards Lan Su.
“Go ahead!”
Lan Su gave him an annoyed look.
This guy pretended not to know, never mentioning the concept of governing as discussed in his exam paper. Although expected, it still annoyed him.
“In this exam, there is a woman named Yaoyun. If she fails, I implore Your Majesty to let her pass.”
Helping the imperial court has its rewards, mostly at the discretion of the old emperor. Bai Yu didn’t know if Yaoyun could pass the exam, but it’s always good to be extra sure.
“Stinky boy, what do you think this is? Am I here to bend the law for personal gain?” She asked.
“Is it for personal favours?”
“Really bold! Do you think the Emperor Supreme does things for you? What do you think he is? Wholesale officers?”
“Well… isn’t he? Can’t Your Majesty do it?”
“Using one backdoor is like walking, and using two backdoors is also walking. Your Majesty’s power is supreme, so there should be no problem.”
Bai Yu scratched his head, asking with some confusion.
Lan Su: …
So angry! Is your clever brain only used to scheme against me?
“Who is she? Do you like her?”
From the previous test papers to today’s meeting, Bai Yu had left a deep impression on Lan Su.
His status is crucial, almost like the long-awaited saviour. Helping him open another back door is a small matter.
More importantly, Lan Su wanted to explore Bai Yu’s traits, emotions, and information.
Bai Yu shook his head lightly and said, “It’s just a chance encounter. I only know her name, not her personally!”
Lan Su: …
Meeting by chance, and yet you help her like this? If he believes it, that would be strange! This guy never tells the truth. His mouth is full of lies!
“My fair lady, a gentleman, is so good~.”
“I have enjoyed myself!”
“I like beauties!”
“Your Majesty doesn’t need to test me. I can tell you.”
Bai Yu patted his chest proudly: “I’m greedy for power, love money, lustful!”
Lan Su: …
Sooner or later, I will kill you, brat!
“You can’t learn something better!”
“There is no such thing as a pillar of the country, loyal and virtuous!”
He couldn’t help but curse at the brat. If he said this in court, the officers’ spittle stars could drown him!
Are you still an official? You are lucky not to punish the Nine Clans!
“Your Majesty, it’s terrible for people to ask for nothing!”
“Do you like courtiers who are greedy for power, love money, and lust? Or do you like courtiers who have nothing to ask for, nothing to desire, nothing to reward, and nothing to check and balance?”
“I think a subject like Bai Yu is perfect!”
The old emperor squinted at the young man, who always had thought-provoking words.
Sometimes, self-pollution is not a bad thing! Do you think he doesn’t know that some people are greedy and some are powerless? The important thing is whether these ministers can do things! And out of control!
“So, Your Majesty, if you want to reward your ministers in the future, please don’t be stingy!”
“Have the right to reward power, but don’t have the right to reward wealth. You can also reward beauties if you don’t have wealth and power! The ministers don’t dislike it!” Bai Yu said to Lan Su with a playful smile.
Lan Su: …
“Go away!!!”
“It kills me too!”
Some rules are well known to everyone, but it is still uncomfortable to expose them so bluntly.
The old emperor slammed the table fiercely and said viciously.
“Huh!”
“Okay~.”
“Your Majesty, don’t forget what I begged you for!”
“And… the green-clothed secret guards should also report another matter to you, I hope you can be impartial by the law.”
“Don’t let any lawbreaker get away with it!”
Bai Yu wasn’t afraid of Longyan’s anger.
Instead, he laughed and waved his hands, running out without looking back.
“Roll!!!!”
