Peerless Taoist

Actually, Lu Yu already had a rough idea of what happened to Bai Suqing, but there were still some details that he needed to ask the maidservants around Bai Suqing.    

After all, the Skynet was only used to gather information. If one did not personally experience it, no one would know the ins and outs of the matter.    

The branch manager of the Da Yuan Bank was replaced, and the head manager, Chu Tianxiong, personally oversaw the accounts for the past few years. He found dozens of crooked people. These people had been in the bank for many years and had long since colluded with each other in secret, creating fake accounts and colluding with each other to make the Da Yuan Bank suffer a huge loss in the dark.    

The Da Yuan Bank was currently flourishing. Although these crooked people were greedy, they did not affect the normal operation of the bank.    

However, the head manager, Chu Tianxiong, had actually known about their actions a long time ago.    

The reason why he did not make a move was because he wanted to dig out the big fish behind them.    

Now that Lu Yu was here, Chu Tianxiong did not plan to wait any longer. He continued to dig deeper and finally found out that the mastermind behind all these crooked people was a eunuch who was in charge of the Imperial Court's assets.    

This eunuch was the subordinate of the commander-in-chief, Liu Jin. He was assigned here to manage all the assets of the Great Qin Imperial Court.    

The Da Yuan Bank was in fact already the assets of the Great Qin Empire. Most of the profits would be handed over to the national treasury, and it would be under the jurisdiction of the Great Eunuch Liu Jin. Liu Jin would also often send his subordinates to supervise the operation of these forces.    

Unlike the officials of the Great Yu Dynasty, these eunuchs had all undergone systematic training and had an extremely rich knowledge. It could be said that they specialized in their respective fields. Ordinary people would not be able to fool them at all.    

According to the report of Chu Tianxiong, the eunuch had used extremely complicated methods to calculate all the losses of the Da Yuan Bank on the Heavenly Network. After that, he had secretly leaked some of the intelligence of the Heavenly Network spies, causing the Heavenly Network to be exhausted during that period of time and unable to pay attention to their own accounts. This eunuch had given the Heavenly Network a chance to deceive them and change the accounts of the Heavenly Network.    

Lu Yu had always been willing to spend money on the Heavenly Network and the Qin army. The Ministry of Finance had also given a lot of support to this. Therefore, most of the money allocated by the Imperial Court had been devoured by this eunuch.    

"Your Majesty, should we hand this matter over to the General Administration of Asset Management?"    

Chu Tianxiong asked carefully.    

According to official rank, the eunuch was actually above Chu Tianxiong and was his superior. However, Chu Tianxiong was also the person in charge of the Heavenly Network in Kunlun. Since he had found out about this eunuch, there was naturally no reason for him to hide it from Lu Yu.    

"How dare he! He is just a mere chief eunuch, but he actually took ten billion. Is he tired of living?"    

When he saw the intelligence that Chu Tianxiong had handed over, even though Lu Yu had experienced a lot, he was still shocked by the number on the table.    

This was ten billion, which was enough to buy a large sect in the Heaven Realm.    

"This matter does not need to be notified to the General Administration of Asset. As a mere eunuch, I can still make the decision. Chu Tianxiong, since you are in charge of the Heavenly Network of the Kunlun Galaxy, you will be in charge of this matter. I will bestow upon you the Shang Fang Sword and execute it first before reporting to the Emperor."    

Lu Yu frowned. He raised his hand and grabbed. Vast immortal energy and divine light interweaved in front of him. A golden yellow dragon shadow soared into the sky and finally gathered in Lu Yu's palm, condensing into a golden longsword.    

The longsword emitted a bright light and a vast imperial aura. It was as if a Heavenly Emperor had descended, causing people to feel fear.    

Shang Fang Sword!    

Cold sweat broke out on Chu Tianxiong's forehead, and a deep look of astonishment flashed across his eyes.    

He had seen the Shang Fang Sword Shen Linglong and Zhao Yuanyan had bestowed upon him during the Great Yu Dynasty. If it was in terms of power, it was definitely incomparable to the sword Lu Yu had bestowed upon him.    

After all, Chu Tianxiong was a Daolord, so his senses were quite sharp. He could feel an aura that could destroy the heavens and earth from the golden longsword.    

"Find out who is involved in this matter. Regardless of his status, we must find out. Also, send a letter to Liu Jin and ask him how he managed to become an inspector. Before I return to Xianyang, he must investigate this matter thoroughly!"    

Lu Yu waved his hand, his expression cold.    

"I accept the order." Chu Tianxiong's heart trembled.    

He believed that Lu Yu had truly gone mad this time. Otherwise, he would not have given him the Shang Fang Sword and ordered him to execute him first.    

"Go."    

Lu Yu's heart became heavier and heavier. He understood that this kind of thing was very difficult to eliminate.    

Humans were infinitely greedy. Furthermore, Great Qin's territory was constantly expanding, and its people were mixed up. No one knew what everyone was thinking.    

It was rumored that Great Yu's Great Ancestor was born a cowboy. Because he had been troubled by corrupt officials when he was young, after he became the emperor, he hated corrupt officials even more. As a result, he created many tortures, and the number of people who had their tendons and skin ripped off was numerous.    

However, Lu Yu was not Great Yu's Great Ancestor. He was actually more inclined to the School of Legalism, which governed the common people. Therefore, he would definitely not use too extreme methods. Everything would be done within the scope of the law.    

From the moment he came here, he had removed the power of the Imperial Secret Service. This was a clear indication of his power. Back then, Xu Xianchu, regardless of whether he was a citizen or an official, killed anyone he saw. No matter the reason, this kind of power would definitely be limited.    

However, once the Imperial Secret Service was restricted, the foreign officials would lack restraint, and they would be greedy again. Some people were greedy for money, and some were greedy for power. The hearts of people were like water, and the winds and clouds would change.    

Lu Yu's strength was tyrannical, and he could suppress everything. However, this was still a hidden danger that he had to guard against.    

"Seems like I need to find an opportunity to settle this matter."    

Lu Yu's finger tapped on the table as he thought to himself.    

"Esteemed guest, there is a guest outside who claims to be looking for you. She also has your token in her hand."    

At this moment, the maid's soft call came from outside the door.    

Lu Yu's study was located in the backyard of the Da Yuan Bank. It was a room that had been opened up by himself. The maid was also specially equipped and was extremely professional. If there was nothing important, she would definitely not disturb Lu Yu.    

"What token?"    

"It's a one hundred million spirit stone banknote."    

"It's her?" Lu Yu suddenly remembered.    

Without any other matters, Lu Yu said, "Let her in."    

Not long after, two footsteps came from outside the door. The maid brought Lu Xiaozhen in.    

Lu Xiaozhen's eyes were filled with curiosity and a trace of nervousness. As for the luxurious manor that was built within the Da Yuan Bank, she did not have the time to look at it.    

The door was pushed open and the maid let Lu Xiaozhen in. Then, she closed the door.    

"I thought it would be a long time, but I didn't expect that you would come to find me in just a day."    

Lu Yu saw that Lu Xiaozhen had her head lowered the whole time. He smiled faintly and said, "Lift up your head and speak to me."    

Lu Xiaozhen's body trembled. She looked at Lu Yu timidly and cupped her hands, "Greetings, Your Majesty."    

"It seems that you already know my identity," Lu Yu said indifferently.    

Lu Xiaozhen's mouth opened and closed, but she did not say anything.    

Seeing Lu Xiaozhen's appearance, Lu Yu frowned. According to the information on the Skynet, this Lu Xiaozhen could be considered Bai Suqing's personal maid. She had met many of the important people of the Great Zhou. Even if she met him, she should not be so timid.    

Suddenly, Lu Yu thought of a possibility and said in a deep voice, "Tell me the truth, what happened to Bai Suqing?"    

Lu Yu usually did not show his aura, but at this moment, he was like a true dragon that had opened its shackles, releasing a tyrannical aura.    

Boom!    

Lu Yu's eyes were like lightning. In an instant, an invisible pressure echoed in the study room.    

Lu Xiaozhen could no longer hold on. She hurriedly knelt on the ground and tears fell to the ground. "Your Majesty, please save the princess!"
