"Huh." Seeing everyone's generous expressions, Zhao Ming laughed, "More than two thousand stones, you are really generous." But according to Li Huai's confession, you can buy a total of 50,000 stones of grain and grass in his hands! ”

"Your Highness, don't listen to that shameless villain! The grain we purchased from Li Huai was only more than 8,000 stones, and there was never that much! Then Li Huai knew that his life would not last long, so he would just bury a few more people. "Li Zhi said it as if it was true, the grain is piled up in my storehouse, but what qualifications do you Zhao Ming have to raid me and others without a lawless order?

If it is an example, I am afraid that everyone in the world will be in danger, and I am afraid that the court will treat them like pigs and dogs, and they will be slaughtered if they want.

"Eight thousand stones are handed over to more than two thousand stones free of charge, and you are considered benevolent." Zhao Ming smiled happily instead.

"It should not be praised by His Highness."

At that time, the transaction with Li Huai was not in front of the grain depot, and he handed over the money in the secret room without leaving a note, where can you Zhao Ming have the handle of the old man!

"I'll ask one last time, it's really eight thousand stones!" Zhao Ming simply put his feet on the table, looking like a scoundrel.

"Seriously!" Li Zhiyin secretly glanced at Zhao Ming, Huangkou Xiaoer, even if the 50,000 stone grain was found? I paid for it!

"Okay, I accept that. This matter is considered to be over. Zhao Ming put away his feet and stood up, walked towards Li Zhi step by step, and looked at each other condescendingly, "Then this palace will talk about another news from Li Huai." ”

"Your Highness, please speak!" Li Zhi looked at the aggressive Zhao Ming, and after this article, he didn't feel relaxed but had a bad feeling in his heart.

"According to Li Huai's confession, in addition to purchasing disaster relief grain and grass, you Li Zhi also purchased the armor eliminated by the state soldiers! Li Juren, is this serious? "Zhao Ming laughed wickedly and was very unscrupulous! There is irrepressible malice in his eyes!

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar on the spot, and it didn't take long for it to be completely quiet, and the rest of the people didn't dare to make a sound, and looked at Li Zhi whose face suddenly turned pale with strange eyes.

"Your Highness, this is that Li Huai's nonsense! How dare the grass people! Li Zhi couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly walked to the room and knelt down. He, Li Zhi, was full of food and held on to buy those terrible things. Possession of armor is a capital crime clearly stipulated in Zhao Law. Besides, who can sell that thing to, and who will want the rags eliminated by the state soldiers!

"Oh, but then Li Huai swore that you, Li Zhi, spent 10,000 taels to buy the 1,000 soldiers who were eliminated by the state soldiers. Is he crazy and talking nonsense? ”

"Li Huai thief, that guy must be crazy, why do I want this thing in armor?" Whoever touches the damn thing will die!

"Who knows? Miles to foreign countries? Or rebellion? Zhao Ming squatted down with evil taste, looking at the old man who no longer dared to look directly at him. The words spit out of his mouth made Li Zhi panic one by one, this highness wants to push my Li Zhi's whole family to a dead end!

"Your Highness is discerning! Your Highness is discerning! The grass people would never dare to do such a catastrophe. His Royal Highness can have people inspect all the properties of the grass people, and if they find a pair of armor, the grass people will be willing to die! "As for the more than 20,000 stones of grain and grass, Li Zhi can't take care of it now. Copying it out will not cost the life of the whole family, but Zhao Ming's hat will kill him of all ages!

"Oh yes?" The malice on Zhao Ming's face became stronger and stronger, "But the palace seems to have received a report, saying that there are still a few pieces of armor buried under the pear tree in your back house Li Zhi as a souvenir, I don't know if it's true or not?" Or maybe Li Juren should reconsider the amount of grain and grass donated, maybe I'm wrong? ”

Who will keep their armor as a souvenir? Has the head been gnawed by a pig! Now Li Zhiquan understood, these six highnesses knew that it was impossible for him Li Zhi to buy that worthless armor, and even Li Huai didn't say anything about this nonsense, it was Li Huai who framed him, and it was the sixth highness in front of him who was smiling extremely sinisterly!

If he is not satisfied with His Sixth Highness, the matter of collecting armor privately will become true if it is not true! Is it hard to bury a few armors in his backyard? Is it difficult for his Sixth Highness to have all the stolen goods?

Sixth Highness, Sixth Highness, the means of framing him, Li Zhi can be regarded as a teacher! This is the prince taught by the royal family? There are no formal means, and there are a lot of partial means. He Li Zhigen couldn't bear it! This hat is so big that no one in the whole Dazhao can afford to wear it!

Li Zhi admits planting! Li Zhiwu threw himself on the ground to make a big gift, and he served!

"Li Zhi is old and mediocre, and he remembers the wrong amount of grain stored at home, and hopes that His Royal Highness will forgive him. Li volunteered to offer 40,000 stones of grain and grass to help His Highness in disaster relief? "He Li Zhi only bought 30,000 stones of grain and grass, and now he went out with all of them and took 10,000 stones purchased from other places!

"Only 40,000 stone of grain and grass? After the disaster, the reconstruction is almost a lot of money! Zhao Ming couldn't deny it and patted Li Zhi's shoulder.

Li Zhi's body shook, the Li family was defeated! But he, Li Zhi, didn't dare to disobey the will of the Sixth Highness now, even if he Li Zhi was not afraid of death, this Highness was holding the lives of his entire family!

"It's the grass people's fault, it's the grass people who haven't finished speaking. The grass people are also willing to offer 200,000 taels of silver to help the victims of the disaster in their hometowns rebuild. ”

Li Zhi's heart is dripping blood now, and 200,000 yuan will hollow out the foundation of his Li family. But he didn't dare, he didn't dare to test the patience of the smiling Sixth Highness in front of him! What if His Highness is not satisfied and wants to pick it up for himself? Take the lives of all the children in vain!

"200,000 taels is a bit much, and if I give it to your family, I'm afraid I won't be able to turn over in 20 years." Zhao Ming nodded with satisfaction.

"It is true that as you said, even if you eat the disaster relief grain and grass in Xiping Prefecture, you spent real money to buy it, which is morally inconsistent, but it is not hindered by Zhao Lu. Everyone is equal before the law, donate 150,000 taels! What does Elder Li think? Zhao Ming's face retracted his smile and said lightly to Li Zhi.

His Royal Highness the Sixth, who did not smile, made Li Zhi breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and the lives of the whole family were finally bought.

Equal? Equal, you ghost! When he was framed, His Royal Highness didn't mention the law?

But now Li Zhi didn't dare to have any opinions, but was a little grateful to Zhao Ming: "Thank you for your kindness!" ”

Zhao Ming saw that Li Zhi had been dealt with, got up and stood up, his eyes swept across the audience, and his tone seemed casual: "What about you?" It seems that there are still a few armors that have not been found? Can anyone tell me the whereabouts of these armors! ”

Everyone at the scene who was stunned all knelt down in an uproar, and no matter how stupid they were, they could understand. If you pretend to be stupid, maybe the armor buried in Li Zhihou's house will appear in your back house! Finally understand who is the truth under the might!

No one dared to stand and talk to Zhao Ming anymore, and no one dared to meet Zhao Ming's gaze.

Everyone kowtowed and said in a chaotic manner: "I am also mistaken, I am willing to donate five thousand stones of grain and grass and two or three thousand taels of silver." ”

"There is also below, in the east of the lower city, the Zhang family is willing to help His Highness with grain and grass and ten thousand stones, 20,000 taels of silver, Your Highness spares your life!"

…

"Hahaha." Zhao Ming laughed and left, this laughter made everyone both shocked and happy.

It's just that before going downstairs, Zhao Ming seemed to think of something, turned his head and said, "I'll invite this meal, do you have an opinion?" ”

Only Li Zhi's voice was heard kneeling in place and not daring to move: "The grass people don't dare, it is a blessing for the grass people to be invited by His Royal Highness, and the grass people and others send off His Highness!" ”

"Congratulations to Your Highness!"

On the way back to the mansion, Feng Wucai, who had been silent, frowned and said, "Zhao Ming, you are not very good like this, you are really shameless!" ”

"Really?" Zhao Ming shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "But it is undeniable that this is the most direct and cleanest way, isn't it?" ”

"Although I don't know how to rate it." Feng Wudi thought for a moment, "But I remember what my grandfather once said to me seriously, and I can't forget my heart at any time." Xiao Ming, no matter what your means are, I hope you will not forget your original intention, as grandpa said. ”

Seeing that Feng Wu rarely called out the mutual names when he was a child, Zhao Ming's face was much softer, but his mouth did not show weakness: "I know, Xiao Wu, you are really verbose!" ”

Although Zhao Ming was very impatient on the surface, Feng Wu was sure that Zhao Ming had listened to it, and affirmed it without reason. He didn't speak, and let the moonlight shine on the two people walking side by side.

The original intention? Zhao Ming looked up at the bright moon in the sky, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart, Xiao Wu, the means just now are my true original intention!

Trained by the thick black and egoistic training of later generations, the first idea that came out and acted on was this! I'm afraid my heart is so dirty and ugly. Compared with you, I'm afraid it's the moon in the sky and the filthy soil under the horse's hooves!

The two of them under the moonlight had no interest in talking anymore, and let the moonlight stretch their backs for a long time.

Not long after Zhao Ming returned to the mansion, he saw Wei Ziqi, who was staying in the Drunken Immortal Building, rushed to report with interest: "Great joy! Your Highness! A total of 400,000 stones of grain and grass and more than 2,500,000 taels of silver were raised. ”

Hearing this amount, Zhao Ming's heart was also relieved, and it was not surprising that there were more silver taels than grain and grass, after all, this place had just experienced a flood.

"400,000 stones!" Wei Ziqi is still excited, "It's enough for the disaster victims in a state to support the next autumn harvest." 500,000 taels is too much, and it can't cost all these taels to rebuild. ”

"Can't finish it?" Zhao Ming squinted at this rough man who was as excited as a child, "The reconstruction of the home with a family and a room will naturally not be spent, and what about the families who lost their main labor force in the flood after the reconstruction?" Who helps them with the farming? Who will provide for the widows and orphans? 500,000 taels is too little. ”

"Your Highness is thoughtful, and you can't do it yet." Wei Ziqi's face turned red and he apologized.

"Do you want to blackmail again?" Zhao Ming touched his chin and thought about it, talking to himself.

Wei Ziqi's face turned green before and after witnessing, and he deeply felt pity for the group of profiteers who usually had to break a bite when they mentioned it: "Your Highness, isn't it?" ”

"Just kidding, look at the way you see a ghost! What do you mean? Zhao Ming rolled his eyes, "If the blackmail continues, I'm afraid they will break the house, and it's not worth it to force the fish to die and break the net." ”

Wei Ziqi was embarrassed to disturb his head, and smiled at Zhao Ming honestly and flatteringly.

"Get out! I'm angry when I look at you like that. Zhao Ming flew up and kicked Wei Ziqi with a kick that was neither light nor heavy, "Go and distribute the rations of the victims and calculate the materials needed for reconstruction." You can't eat the money and keep it there. Give me flowers! ”

Zhao Ming was arrogant, but it was not his silver that was spent, so he didn't feel distressed at all!
