Inside the gazebo.

King Chen put his hands behind his back, tilted his head slightly, looked over the courtyard wall, and looked at the sky on the south side, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Behind him, a man dressed in black said respectfully: "Originally, the steward of the Zhuang family firm who was bought by Song Tianyuan was found out by Zhuang Ming's subordinates and sent to the government, but now the functions and powers of the government are all dominated by the prince, so these people have become witnesses." Now that there are human witnesses, plus those forged physical evidence, under such an arrangement, the comprehensive seizure of the Zhuang family firm can be regarded as following the law, and the old foxes who are enemies of the prince in the court can't find fault. ”

King Chen chuckled and said, "I heard that this Zhuang Ming is resourceful, are you ready?"

The man replied: "Even if he is resourceful and has many methods in his heart, what can he do? The prince controls the power of the government, and this is the power of breaking the law with force, and no matter how powerful a strategist is, he can't turn over." ”

After a pause, he heard the man say: "Even if he can really use any means in the end, it will not be solved in a few days, we will drag on for some time in the name of thorough investigation, Zhuang's firm in all aspects, day by day, people's hearts are gradually scattered, no matter how big the family can not hold, the more huge the force, the faster it collapses, according to the subordinates, it will not be long before the Zhuang firm will fall apart." ”

Chen Wang chuckled and said: "That's the same, then continue to drag, Zhuang's firm is just a trivial matter, you don't have to worry about it anymore, you still have to focus on business." ”

As a king with a different surname, he is also powerful above the court, and he is not a private businessman, and he is not in his eyes.

What he cares more about in his heart are the four major events that came at the order of the emperor this time.

As for dealing with Zhuang's firm, for Zhuang Ming and Zhuang's firm, it was an earth-shaking trend that determined life and death, but for him, it was just a matter of doing things and doing things in his spare time.

The two were not at the same level, in the past, he just took a look at it, and it also seemed that Corporal Lixian, but it was only because of this Zhuang Ming that he dared to make a move on his business, which caused him to be angry, so he cared.

Now that he, the prince, can spend a little bit of energy and order someone to make a plan to seize the Zhuang firm, and make such a move, he can be regarded as worthy of this thirteen gentlemen.

Now that the situation has been decided, there is no need to take this matter to heart.

"So far so good. ”

The man in black replied: "The place where the war horse is raised has been decided, and the young horse with excellent bloodline is also on the way. ”

King Chen asked, "What about the canal?"

The man replied: "My subordinates will send fifty elite soldiers to accompany them, escort those craftsmen to various places to investigate, and record them in detail, and in about three or five days, they will be able to record them clearly, so as to make a follow-up plan, how to dig the canal, how to construct the waterway, and how to drain the water. ”

King Chen nodded slightly and said, "What about the Armory Workshop?"

The man said in a low voice: "The place has been roughly decided, and the craftsmen have almost arrived, and the ore collected before is backlogged there, and more than 100 elite soldiers have been sent to guard it before leaving for Huai'an...... In addition, another type of ore is still in transit. ”

Chen Wang nodded slightly, these three things are the first to see the progress at present.

As for the implementation of the New Deal, it was not overnight, and it could only be carried out in secret.

This matter should be talked about later, and it can only be implemented after he has completely stabilized the foundation in the Sixteen Prefectures of Huai'an.

However, the emperor has instructed the emperor to see results within this year.

"That's very good. ”

Chen Wang said: "The stakes are very important, and there is no room for mistakes, and the matter of the new deal is not in a hurry for the time being, but these three things must be roughly settled within a month." The matter of digging a canal is good for the people's livelihood, but it can be put on the bright side, and this king can come forward to control this matter; as for the armory, you must personally supervise the construction, and I have already chosen a ...... for the horse farm."

The man in black whispered, and said, "Zhuang's firm will be destroyed within this month, I am afraid that it will be destroyed, can the prince have a candidate?"

King Chen paused for a moment before he said: "Zhuang's firm is just a trivial matter, don't pay attention to it for the time being, wait for me to wait for the beginning of the big thing to straighten out, this king will find a free time, and then transfer people from the capital to take over the affairs of Zhuang's firm." ”

The man in black said: "Although Zhuang's firm is only a private business, but the wealth has accumulated a lot, and the rich side is the richest, then Zhuang Ming is known as the richest man in the sixteen prefectures of Huai'an, presumably after taking over, with such strong financial resources, the prince can do more things." ”

King Chen nodded, and then waved his hand: "You go down......"

The man in black gave a salute and was about to retreat.

However, at this moment, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

The man in black hesitated slightly.

Chen Wang waved his hand slightly, looked at the rockery, and made a slight gesture.

The man in black suddenly understood, took up light skills, and hid behind the rockery.

And King Chen put his hands behind his back, his expression was still the same, and he looked at the sky to the south.

"Lord ......"

The one who came in a hurry was a young errand officer in Huai'an, but seeing that his face was pale and he was wheezing, he hurriedly said: "Something big has happened!"

King Chen frowned slightly, turned around, and shouted: "Panic, what kind of system is it? Fengcheng's errand soldiers are all so unworthy of the stage? What can't be said calmly?"

The errand officer was already young and had never seen the world, and when he was scolded like this, he couldn't help but bow his head, and his tone was much weaker, so he whispered: "There is a murder case, Lord Zhao has already set off, stabilize the situation, and let the little one come and invite the prince to ......come over."

King Chen was displeased in his heart, and waved his sleeves and said: "Haohao Dongsheng Dynasty, with countless populations, which city has not had a murder case......?

The officer became more and more trembling, slowed his tone as much as possible, and said, "This is a big case. ”

King Chen looked down, with a slight disdain between his eyebrows, and said: "Little Fengcheng, what big case can happen? Is it a natural disaster? Or is it robbed by bandits? How many people have died? Or are there any court officials?"

The messenger hesitated, "This ......"

King Chen said impatiently: "Say! This king has been in charge of the army for ten years, what scene has he not seen?"

The messenger hurriedly responded: "It's not an official of the imperial court, it's the people sent by the prince to survey the topography of Fengcheng before, and they were all killed......

King Chen seemed to have been struck by lightning and was stunned.

"Lord Wang?"

"What did you say?" King Chen's face changed suddenly, and he shouted angrily, "You say it again?"

The "Lord ......" was taken aback, but he didn't expect that the prince who had just changed his color as if he had collapsed in front of him was full of anger at this moment, and the killing machine was everywhere.

"You say that the people sent out by this king were killed?"

"Yes...... Yes...... Lord, killed......"

"Bastard!" King Chen's face changed, his face was cloudy, and he shouted, "How many people died?"

"This ......" The messenger took a deep breath, remembered the words of King Chen, reluctantly suppressed the shock in his heart, forcibly calmed himself down, and said lightly: "The eighty-five people sent out by the prince were all killed, and there were less than a hundred people in total. ”

"Get out!"

When King Chen heard this, his eyes darkened, and when he saw this bastard say this lightly, he immediately burst into anger and was about to draw his sword and kill people.

Unexpectedly, he stretched out his hand on his waist, but found that he did not have a sword, so he suddenly kicked the errand and kicked him down.

"Get out!"

King Chen said sharply: "If you don't roll this king again, I will kill you!"

The servant was so frightened that he fled in disarray.

King Chen's face was extremely gloomy, and he shouted, "Check!"

The black-clothed man behind the rockery hurriedly appeared, with a solemn expression, and said, "My subordinates will go and investigate." ”
