Chapter 302 Her high salary will never raise waste
King Wei's disappearance did not have much impact on the empress, and his return would naturally be the same.
However, everyone was gathered together, and it was rare for Xiao Li to have someone prepare a banquet.
Xiao Li was a generous emperor, and officials received excellent benefits, but she was also very lazy and didn't want to hold a banquet at all.
However, to build the system here in Yanping Prefecture, a banquet is still needed to bring everyone together.
Xiao Li leaves all the power to the people below to handle it. She doesn't have to worry about it at all. She has enough money and people. She only has one attitude. If she fails, you will be finished.
Her high salary will definitely not raise waste.
Xiao Li gave Qiao Ruyan a sixth-grade official position and attended the banquet with Wang Wanqing.
After ten days of preparation, the banquet began.
Those who were invited to the banquet were the officials and generals who followed Xiao Li. The local officials were the prefect and tongzhi.
At first glance, it didn’t seem like there were many people, but in the end there were a full 200 people.
The banquets in the palace were solemn and grand, and the local ones were more friendly to the people. The red tape was reduced by half, and a lot of dancing and juggling programs were added.
The empress's banquet was heavily guarded, and the silver-armored guards were stationed three at a time, conducting strict inspections to prevent anyone with ulterior motives from taking advantage of any loopholes.
The empress has always been very decisive in dealing with unknown people who want to sneak in. There is no need to interrogate them. Once they find someone with a different identity, they will be killed on the spot.
This is the absolute killing power given to the Silver Armored Guard by the Empress.
Seeing the woman in front of him killed with one blow after being discovered, Niu Jiuhua was completely stunned. He didn't even need the silver-armored guards to check, and he could see the flaw at a glance.
Seeing the silver-armored guard walking towards her, she was the first to pretend to be calm, but when she saw that the guard had already drawn his knife, she realized that she might be dead and quickly shouted: "I am the savior of King Wei. Come to see King Wei.”
Niu Jiuhua thought that moving out of King Wei would definitely deter these guards, but she didn't know that these guards only recognized the empress, and King Wei had no influence on them.
Under the ruthless command of the deadly knife, Niu Jiuhua relied on her brute strength and reflexes to dodge. Knowing that she couldn't beat him, she stopped fighting and ran towards the banquet as hard as she could.
She has been running in the forest since she was a child, and she can avoid obstacles so fast that she actually slipped away from several silver-armored guards in one moment.
But how can the silver-armored guard who can guard the empress be a vegetarian?
After reacting, several people surrounded him, opened the silver umbrella above their heads, and created a dragnet to kill everyone.
Niu Jiuhua almost really died.
She carried the knife with her shoulder, got out from under the feet of a silver-armored guard, and quickly hijacked a passing woman.
"Don't come here!"
The faces of the silver-armored guards were all livid. Damn it, they encountered a tough problem today.
She must not be allowed to go before His Majesty, but they dare not take action now because the person Niu Jiuhua is holding hostage is Wang Wanqing.
Compared with King Wei, Wang Wanqing made the silver-armored guards have to worry.
But Wang Wanqing, who was held hostage, was very calm: "Don't come over yet."
Niu Jiuhua: "Take me to see King Wei, hurry up."
Wang Wanqing glanced inside and raised her hand: "Brother, please go and invite King Wei here."
Isn’t it easy to meet the King of Wei? We can't let her ruin His Majesty's banquet.
The silver-armored guard quickly went in and soon invited Xiao Jingyi out seriously.
The moment he saw Niu Jiuhua holding Wang Wanqing hostage, Xiao Jingyi felt that he was not far from death.
"What are you doing? Let him go quickly." Niu Jiuhua obediently let Wang Wanqing go, and quickly ran to Xiao Jingyi. Just as she was about to speak to him, the silver-armored guard quickly captured her.
Niu Jiuhua's face changed drastically, showing pain: "Xiao Jingyi, please let them go quickly, my back is injured, it hurts so much."
Xiao Jingyi said nothing, and Niu Jiuhua looked at him in disbelief: "You won't help me?"
Xiao Jingyi felt tired: "Why are you here?"
Niu Jiuhua: "I found information about my father. You said you would help me find him."
Xiao Jingyi agreed, but he didn't want her to make such a fuss. He handed over to the silver-armored guard and said, "This person is an acquaintance of my king. Please show your kindness and spare her life first. I will go and apologize to your majesty."
Niu Jiuhua was so angry: "Please forgive me, where do you come from so many sins? I just want to come in to find you, but they want to kill me indiscriminately. It is so unreasonable."
Wang Wanqing sneered and looked at this idiot who appeared out of nowhere: "Please also ask King Wei to settle your acquaintances. The last one who dared to hold me hostage will have grass growing on his grave."
After Wang Wanqing finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and left.
Niu Jiuhua was still being suppressed, but she was not convinced anymore: "Who is she? She talks in such a weird way."
Niu Jiuhua used to be in awe of powerful officials. Her family was a bandit, and she would get scared when she heard the name of the county magistrate.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
But who asked her to save a prince? She had been with King Wei for so long, and she felt that the prince was no different from an ordinary person, that is, an ordinary man of flesh and blood, without any trivial features.
King Wei asked her to call him by his first name. Over time, she had the illusion that she and King Wei were equal.
King Wei is a prince, and there is at most one sister above him. Everyone else is lower than King Wei. Why should he talk like this to her who is at the same level as King Wei?
And so are the Silver Armored Guards. Aren't they just a group of guards? He didn't even listen to the prince's words. He really deserved death!
Niu Jiuhua didn't say much, but her scheming was so shallow that in the eyes of a prince like Xiao Jingyi who had survived a complex human heart in the palace, it was no different than what was written clearly on his face.
Xiao Jingyi knew very well that Niu Jiuhua would kill him if he stayed. He knew Niu Jiuhua's ignorance and even more clearly the emperor's ruthlessness.
Niu Jiuhua did save him once.
"You wait quietly, I will go in and ask for a favor."
Originally, such a trivial matter would not be brought to the attention of the empress. At most, after the banquet, a number of people would be released, saying how many people were found this time.
However, the King of Wei was involved, as well as the Queen's female officer, and the silver-armored guard quickly reported to Yang Jun, and Yang Jun told the empress.
Although Xiao Li did not expect such a thing to happen, he was not that surprised.
"If you want to recruit people from the Silver Armor Guards, then follow the rules of the Silver Armor Guards."
Yang Jun lowered his head: "I obey."
Wang Wanqing sat at the back and didn't care at all that she was being held hostage, because she knew that there was no need to cry and the empress would not let her be wronged.
On the other hand, King Wei may find it difficult to get back up again.
When Niu Jiuhua saw Xiao Jingyi again, he was carried out, dying, with blood dripping down the stretcher.
Niu Jiuhua collapsed instantly: "Xiao Jingyi, what's wrong with you? Who hurt you like this?"
Xiao Jingyi was in so much pain that he almost passed out, but he insisted on staying awake and looking up at her: "If you want me to die, you can continue to talk nonsense."
Niu Jiuhua held back what she was about to say, and finally followed Xiao Jingyi to his residence crying all the way.
