"Your name is Zhu Chao? Okay, let me ask you, were you caught by the other party too? ”

Wang Tong asked coldly.

"Lord Qiyu Taiwei, that's right, I was caught by that Liu Yuetian, and all my guards were killed, I really saw it, my face was beaten like this by him!"

"Hmph, that's, if that's the case, then why were you let go? You explain it to me! ”

Wang Tong has been an official for so many years, what nonsense has he never heard? There are too many loopholes in what the other party said, if it has nothing to do with you, then forget it, but now you will let yourself fall into passivity, so you have to explore and explore.

When Wang Tong asked this, Zhu Chao suddenly sweated, and he couldn't speak.

"General, I think there is a problem with this Zhu Chao, the other party killed people and robbed money, and caught him again, why don't you cut the grass and eradicate the roots, will you let him come back to report the news? There is no benefit to the other party in doing this, I think it must be Zhu Chao himself who took the money for himself, and then made up a nonsense to extricate himself, the general is wise and martial, don't be deceived by this fool! ”

Wang Tong reversed the situation in a few words.

"Hmmm! Lord Wang is right, Zhu Chao, I think you don't want to live, it's better to recruit it truthfully! ”

Wang Tong is old, and he has no skills, relying on his father to be a former general and becoming a captain, don't look at him as a straw bag, but things in the officialdom are more shrewd than anyone else, Zhu Defat is talking nonsense, how can he still go around himself, and when he saw Liang Ji angry, he immediately refuted.

Liang Ji scared Zhu Chao like this, and he was scared at that time, lying on the ground and telling the original story, Liang Ji was furious when he heard that he slapped the table.

It's not that Liang Ji is sympathetic to the people's feelings, he is the biggest corrupt official, how can he ignore the people in the world? But Liang Ji is greedy for too many things, so much so that he doesn't know how many treasures, and the material enjoyment has reached the extreme, so he also began to sell his reputation, thinking that as long as he gives some benefits to the people, they will be grateful to him, and his subordinates will not tell him about the miserable life of the people, so Liang Ji still thinks that he is very prestigious among the people, don't you know that people in the world are eager to eat his flesh and tear down his bones.

Therefore, when Zhu Chao spit out the truth, Liang Ji felt that the other party had simply tarnished his majestic and lofty image in the hearts of the people, and such corrupt officials must be severely punished.

"You, a little general, dare to privately take the disaster relief money and food given by the court to the people as your own, who gave you the guts!"

Who gave the guts? Needless to say? Up and down, Liang Ji himself is the source of corrupt officials, everyone knows this truth, but who dares to say it?

"The general spares his life, the general spares his life, it's the villain who is confused for a while, the general spares his life!"

Zhu Defat and Zhu Chao's father and son were so frightened that they couldn't stop kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Zhu Deqiu, you are an old minister of the court, and you are a great Honglu, and you have meritorious service to the court, so your son can be exempted from the death penalty, but he has a bad reputation for me, and it is difficult to escape the crime, let go of your position as a great Honglu, and your son will go to the city gate to be a desertor, go down!"

Dahong Lu Erpin was appointed and dismissed by the emperor himself, but Liang Ji sent him home to retire without a word, and no one dared to have any objections.

"Thank you for the grace of the general not to kill, thank you for the grace of the general not to kill!"

The father and son of the Zhu family are now repentant, you must know the current result, it is better to wait for Liu Yuetian to leave and secretly go back to continue to be his general, now it's okay, not only the 100,000 taels of silver have been spent in vain, but even Zhu Defat's official position has been lost, and he has simply lost all his pants.

"This Liu Yuetian, this is extremely arrogant, could it be that he thinks that he is the king of the county and can do anything wrong? You don't even think of me! ”

In Liang Ji's view, Liu Yuetian's move is just nonsense of the gentlemen, and the same is true of his sons and nephews, who often do nonsense in Chang'an City, why did they burn down a few houses of the common people today; What robbed a woman from a common people's family, etc., these things are not a matter in front of Liang Ji, even if they beat the court officials, no one dares to care, but only Liang Ji's sons and nephews dare to do this, who would dare to change it to someone else? Whoever does this is openly challenging Liang Ji's authority, even if you are a royal family, isn't Liu Yuetian kicked to Tianshui County by Liang Ji a year ago?

"General, this Liu Yuetian is just the title of the prince of the county, he has violated the laws of my Great Zhou Dynasty like this, the general should immediately send troops to crusade and bring him to justice."

Wang Tong said on the side, he knew that this Liu Yuetian had offended Liang Ji, and his proposal would definitely be approved by Liang Ji.

"Hit? Hmph, Captain Wang, you underestimate this Liu Yuetian too much, now this county king is not as good as he was at the beginning, even Liu Yuan was wiped out by him, and the entire Tianshui has become his world, no matter how weak he is, there are tens of thousands of troops, and he still sends troops? It's okay, then you can personally lead the troops, with your command will definitely succeed. ”

It was the former general Wang Ping who spoke, he and Wang Tong did not deal with each other, and he was immediately unhappy when he heard what the other party said to send troops to recruit, once the troops were sent, I am afraid that the task of leading the troops fell on him again, the last expedition against Liu Yuan was he who led the army, but he was scared away by Liu Yuan halfway, and returned to Chang'an and lay down for a month before recovering, this time he made up his mind that he would never go out again.

"General Wang said very well, now this county king is proud, not only strong soldiers......... And I got the exact news, a few days ago, I went to Dawu, and met with Sun Quan, the king of Wu, and moreover, there was an assassin of the Shadow Gate on the World Debate Conference held in Dawu, this person has a demon law that is invincible, and even Sun Quan's guards can't resist, but he was seriously injured on the spot by this Liu Yuetian......... You didn't think of that, did you? ”

A general wearing gold armor who spoke, this person is a famous Zhou Huai, is the captain of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the secret agents of the Great Zhou are all under his command, and in just over half a year, the name of this Liu Yuetian has spread all over the world, especially the news from the Tang Dynasty and the Great Wu is highly praised for him.

"What? This Liu Yuetian is so famous now? ”

Liang Ji was also surprised!

"Not only the princes of all parties attach great importance to him, but also those merchants, now many merchants in our Chang'an have gone to Tianshui, it is said that the commercial tax there is only 30%, far lower than Chang'an, and there is no such low tax in the whole world!"

It was the Great Zhou Shaofu who spoke, who was responsible for the finances of the imperial court, and within a few months, more than a dozen powerful merchants in Chang'an City had left, and the annual tax revenue was much less.

"And this kind of thing?"

Liang Ji frowned and thought about it.
