Chapter Seventy-Four: Questioning the Guilt

Emperor Chu broke off with a drink.

Zhang Zhidong, who was already rickety, was so frightened that his legs were weak and the track was on the ground.

"Minister, I don't know what crime I committed, which makes Your Majesty Long Yan angry."

"When it comes to the end, you dare to quibble! Along the way, I saw the warblers in this Yanzhou city singing and dancing. ”

"It's all Qinglou, what crime should you be guilty of!"

The words stopped here, Zhang Zhidong, with his white sideburns, left a cold sweat, but he had to explain hard.

"Back to Your Majesty, don't look at the number of green buildings in Yanzhou City, but this tax is several times the ......."

Before he finished speaking, the Hubu Shangshu on the side interrupted coldly.

"Yes, let's make a lot of money,"

As soon as he heard this, Yanzhou Thorn Shi broke out in a cold sweat.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers have worked hard and never deceived their superiors and subordinates, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chu looked at the elders of the two dynasties who were kneeling on the ground, and watched coldly and did not speak.

At this time, Zuo Xiang, who understood the emperor's intentions, paced two steps forward.

"Your Majesty, whether Lord Zhang is corrupt or not, put aside for the time being, this Qinglou is essentially the way of a businessman, and it is a plaything."

"If all the people of my Chu Dynasty follow suit and participate in it, then there will be no one to cultivate, and it will be the top priority."

"My Chu Dynasty was originally based on farming, and Lord Zhang built so many green buildings in this Yanzhou."

"Its purpose is to encourage merchants to change direction, if this goes on for a long time, the people do not think about farming, then I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of our Chu Dynasty."

"Now, I am short of silver and grain in the north, but in this Yanzhou, there is a lot of encouragement for merchants."

"It's all right, all the money and grain are earned by the merchants, and the people don't want to farm, then I will die!"

Zhang Zhidong listened to Zuo Xiang's remarks, cold sweat flowed wildly, and Su Xiu scolded Su Xiu one hundred and eighty times in his heart.

I thought I would build a cheap one without much effort.

I didn't expect it to be a hot potato.

Su Xiu, this bastard bastard, has the heart to chop him up and eat him now.

Zhang Zhidong fell to his knees and trembled, unable to say a complete sentence at all.

At this time, Shangshu of the Criminal Department in the crowd stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Yanzhou Thorn Shi is a lot of slack on weekdays, and he is a little modest, and he is not a person who likes to transform and innovate."

"The minister also heard that the Qinglou in Yanzhou has only been opened in the last month, and this Yanzhou assassin is not a bold person."

"The minister suspects that something is wrong, is there someone behind him who instigated him to do this?"

When Zhang Zhidong heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

He understood that at this time, Shangshu of the Criminal Department was handing over a message to himself, and he knew that this was an opportunity for him to get rid of the pot.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Su Xiu! It was he who suggested that the ministers should demolish all the gambling houses in Yanzhou and build the Qinglou. ”

"The minister was blinded by lard for a while, and he lost his mind, so he would take his advice!"

"I beg your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Emperor Chu's eyes narrowed slightly, and after hearing the answer he wanted to hear, he turned his head to look at Su Wenhai, who was standing in the corner next to Tang.

"Su Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?"

Su Wenhai looked up at Zhang Zhidong, and did not directly answer Emperor Chu's question, but asked Zhang Zhidong instead.

"Lord Zhang, how many green buildings do you have in Yanzhou?"

Zhang Zhidong blurted out: "There are more than five hundred in total,"

When the officials of the six ministries on the side heard this, they were immediately shocked.

One by one, they were secretly frightened, there were so many green buildings in Yanzhou.

Su Wenhai said to himself: "Master Zhang just said that Su Xiu suggested that you change the gambling house to a green building?" ”

"According to what you say, there were more than 500 gambling houses in Yanzhou before."

"There are only about 100 counties in Yanzhou, and there are five to six gambling houses in an average county, and the lives of the people in Yanzhou can be imagined!"

Zhang Zhidong lowered his head slightly, his face full of embarrassment.

When Shang Shu of the Criminal Department on the side heard this, he interjected directly.

"Lord Su, how many gambling houses there are in Yanzhou is not the purpose of our trip."

"We came because Su Xiu was a traitor in Fengqi County, and he was a common man."

"Now it's even more disrupting the system in Yanzhou, and trying to shake the foundation of my Great Chu, it's really a crime."

"Besides, didn't you hear His Majesty asking you just now!"

Su Wenhai knew that this criminal department Shangshu and this Yanzhou assassin were wearing a pair of pants, so he didn't ask more.

Besides, he is now a cloth cloth, and he doesn't care about it.

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people are not prime ministers now, and they can't afford the word Aiqing, and they can't afford the three words of Lord Su."

"But in the humble opinion of the grass people, you should go and see for yourself, Your Majesty."

"Seeing is believing, and only after seeing it can you conclude."

Su Wenhai said, then stepped back and stood aside, like air.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department on the side thought that he was attacking sharply, but he didn't expect to be taken away by Su Wenhai by this Su Wenhai.

There is a feeling of a heavy punch on the cotton, and there is nowhere to use the force, and it is worth retreating with a cold snort.

Emperor Chu's eyes narrowed slightly, okay, since this is the case, then we can see is believing.

"Swing, Fengqi County, let's take a look at our county commander, what is going on!"

Let's go, get up and take the lead.

The officials of the six ministries behind him also hurriedly followed their own emperor.

At this moment, Zhang Zhidong also stood up tremblingly and sang a breath.

When Shangshu of the Criminal Department passed by Zhang Zhidong's side, he patted him gently.

"The hole, how to do it, I believe, you know."

Immediately, he looked at him with cold eyes.

Zhang Zhidong looked at the cold, emotionless eyes of the Criminal Department Shangshu.

For a moment, it was as if I had fallen into an ice cave, and my whole body shivered.

Immediately, he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Understood, understood, don't worry." ”

After that, the group followed Emperor Chu and set off to Fengqi County.

And at this moment, our focal point, Su Xiu, is researching new gadgets in his own home.

Last month's ambush in the jungle made me understand that in this era, it is difficult for a short knife to protect his life.

And after a month of painful experience, Su Xiu is ready to apply those high-tech products from his previous life.

At present, what can give me the most security is the new high-tech weapons in the previous life.

Pistol.

Of course, of course, it can't be done in this Dachu.

But after this month of diligent and day and night efforts.

Su Xiu finally made a pistol of his own - a fire gun.

Playing with the firearm in his hand, Su Xiu said in his heart, now he can rest assured.

As the saying goes, no matter how high your martial arts are, you will be knocked down with one shot.

That's what it is, every time you shoot, you have to load gunpowder, which is more troublesome.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the door.

"My lord, there are a lot of people from outside our government, and they are all big officials."

Su Xiu raised his head and looked at the little guy who came to report, and said in his heart, it is finally here.
