"I see that Lin Beifan is excellent in both character and learning. He has both ability and integrity. He is the best in the court examination and is a rare pillar of strength! Therefore, I have named Lin Beifan as the new top scorer!”
A dignified female voice rang out in the grand and solemn throne room.
"Thank you, Lord!" Lin Beifan said loudly.
He was overjoyed!
After three years of hard work, it was finally time to reap the rewards!
He was actually a transmigrator. Three years ago, he transmigrated to this dangerous world of high martial arts and was bound to a system.
The system told him that only when he became an official would the system function be activated.
After the system was activated, it could help him become stronger quickly.
Therefore, in order to gain a foothold in this dangerous world and to activate the system, Lin Beifan worked hard to study.
In just three years, he became the new top scorer!
Becoming the new top scorer meant that he could become an official!
Therefore, he was very happy and could not wait to say in his heart,"System, should we start?”
"Ding! The host has met the conditions to activate the system. The system is officially activated!”
"Ding! Hello host, the Super Corrupted Official System is at your service!”
"Super Corrupted Official System?" Lin Beifan had a bad feeling."System, you won't let me become a corrupt official, right?”
"Ding! The host's understanding is very accurate. The system is assisting the host to become a super greedy person!”
"As long as the host is in office, the more greedy you are, the richer the system's rewards will be! It was not limited to strength, cultivation techniques, and so on. Becoming a Land Deity or surpassing a Land Deity was not a dream!”
Lin Beifan gritted his teeth.”
To be honest, being an official in this world was a very dangerous thing, especially being a corrupt official!
This was because this was a world of high martial artists. There were too many powerful martial artists!
A chivalrous martial artist who used martial arts to break through the forbidden area would not put officials in their eyes!
Especially corrupt officials, they couldn't wait to be killed!
If anyone was unhappy with him and wanted to rob the rich to help the poor, who could they reason with?
Moreover, the world was about to fall into chaos.
The world Lin Beifan was in was called the Great Martial Dynasty. It had been 300 years since the Central Plains was settled.
Those who had studied history knew that very few dynasties could last for 300 years.
Now that Dynasty had entered the stage of the decaying period, all sorts of problems had been exposed!
In the court, treacherous officials ruled, cliques attacked dissidents, fought for power, and disrupted the court!
Among the people, the various aristocratic families and martial arts sects had levied exorbitant taxes and robbed the people of their wealth.
There was also a vassal king who would set up an independent regime, support his troops, and take over the Central Plains at any time!
Outside, there were various Majestic Empires and Dynasty Empires spying on them!
Especially when the young and powerless, the incompetent, the incompetent, the superior, the situation has become even more dark and turbulent, dangerous!
It was already very dangerous to be an official at this time!
He still wanted to be a corrupt official…
Was this not enough for him to die quickly?
At this moment, Lin Beifan wanted to give up and find a place with no one to hide!
In this world, my life is the most important!
"Minister Lin, I have a mission for you!”
Just as he was panicking, a voice sounded in his ear.
Lin Beifan raised his head. The voice came from the empress sitting on the dragon throne, Wu Qingmei.
She had a beautiful and exquisite face, fair skin, and black hair that was tied up high. Although she was wearing a loose imperial robe, it still could not hide her graceful figure.
She sat high on the dragon throne and looked down at the surroundings. She looked dignified and imposing, awe-inspiring and inviolable!
Lin Beifan didn't dare to take another look. He lowered his head after taking a glance.
He had heard that the empress was muddle-headed, moody, and liked to kill people.
If he accidentally angered the other party, he would lose his head.
"Your Majesty, please give me your orders. I will definitely sacrifice my life to repay your kindness!”
Lin Beifan clasped his hands and spoke.
Imperial power was supreme!
Before he had the strength to resist the imperial power, he should tuck his tail between his legs and behave!
"Good!" The empress clapped her hands and laughed. This matter was very simple. Previously, the Minister of Revenue, Zuo Xiangquan, had taken bribes and perverted the law. His crimes were unforgivable and he had already been thrown into prison! Therefore, I order you to raid his house and take out all his illegal gains to fill the national treasury. There must be no mistakes!”
When Lin Beifan heard this, his vision turned black!
This time, it was really the end for them!
Although this mission was simple, it involved a battle between the Emperor and another faction!
If they really raided the Fang family, they would definitely offend another faction!
It would be difficult to be an official in the future!
If he were to be lenient, he would either be guilty of deceiving the emperor or dereliction of duty, and he would definitely offend the empress!
The path of officialdom was also not easy to walk, and one might even lose their head!
The empress was forcing him to stand in his position!
What could he do?
He was in despair!
This was the rhythm of forcing him to his death!
"Thank you, Lord!" Lin Beifan shouted.
Raising his head, he found that the officials were looking at him with an unreadable expression.
He smiled bitterly in his heart. He was really done for this time!
The system was forcing him!
The empress forced him!
The officials forced him!
They were all forcing him!
Baby felt bitter in his heart!
After that, Lin Beifan received the imperial edict and went to confiscate his property.
It was very simple to raid a house. They would lead a group of soldiers to plunder the valuable things in the other party's house and then move them into the national treasury.
In less than a day's time, the job was done.
A small official came in front of Lin Beifan with an account book and said respectfully,""Lord Lin, all the treasures have been counted. They are all here. The total value is about 2.2 million taels! Please take a look!"
Lin Beifan casually flipped through the account book and looked at the dazzling gold, silver, and jewelry that had been confiscated. He shook his head and sighed,""This Lord Zuo is really greedy!"
One had to know that the annual income of the Great Wu Dynasty had barely exceeded 100 million!
The other party was only a third-grade official, and his annual salary was about 6000 taels.
He had been in office for less than 30 years, so his total wealth should be less than 180,000 taels.
In the end, he had taken 2.2 million taels of treasure from his house. It was obvious how greedy the other party was!
Looking at the dazzling array of treasures around him, Lin Beifan thought of the system and his eyes lit up.
Can I…At
this moment, the official who was holding the account book pulled Lin Beifan to an empty corner and chuckled softly,""Lord Lin, are you tempted? To tell you the truth, when I was counting just now, I was already tempted! Actually, thinking about it, this was human nature!”
"What do you mean?" Lin Beifan frowned."Lord Zhao, what do you mean?"”
"What I mean is that as long as you agree, I can secretly round off the change. We'll split the 200,000 taels. You take 60%, I take 30%, and the remaining 10% will be distributed to the people present. Lord Lin need not worry, these are all official practices, the people above will turn a blind eye!”The minor official revealed a tacit expression.
Lin Beifan was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He shouted,""Lord Zhao, I didn't expect you to be such a person! As the saying goes, eat the king's salary and share the king's worries! You received the imperial court's offerings and enjoyed the Holy Lord's grace. It's fine if you don't want to improve, but in the end, you want to embezzle the money from the national treasury! Are you letting down His Majesty by doing this? Was he worthy of the people of Dawn? Is it fair to the world?"
The three consecutive questions were like the sound of the Great Dao, deafening the deaf!
The official looked ashamed."Yes, yes, yes. Your Excellency is right. I won't dare to do it again!"”
Lin Beifan flicked his sleeves and said unhappily,""Moreover, it's difficult to achieve great things by being greedy for small benefits!”
The official lowered his head and admitted his mistake.”
"So, if you want to be greedy, then be greedy for the big ones! Just give the change to His Majesty and we'll split the rest!”
"F * ck!"
