"As the head of one party, he does not seek benefits for the people, does not share worries for the court, but colludes with local tyrants, oppresses the people, and is guilty of capital crimes!"

"Acting for the tiger, seeking skin with the tiger, capital crime!"

"Deceiving superiors and subordinates, stealing beams for pillars, capital offense!"

"Gu Jiang, this palace asks you, how many heads do you have enough to cut off?!"

The sound of loud drinking, with a huge sense of oppression, erupted from Zhou Zheng's body.

The cold killing intent made Gu Jiang, whose face was swollen like a pig's brain, tremble violently, and then knelt down again towards Zhou Zheng.

He never expected that he finally mediated with the landlords and tried his best to improve Zhou Zheng's political performance, which was actually a capital crime in Zhou Zheng's opinion!

Gu Jiang's face was pale, he didn't care about his still bleeding face and the corners of his mouth, and kept begging for mercy.

"Prince...... Spare your life."

Gu Jiang never thought that things would develop to this point, and he looked desperate.

"Gu Jiang, you have also been an official for more than 20 years, and you have served as a county guard in Xiang County for seven or eight years. ”

"Don't you see that there's something wrong with this?"

Seeing Gu Jiang's attitude, Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, and barely suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Please advise the prince. ”

At this time, Gu Jiang was still cautious, and the chill released from Zhou Zheng's body just now made him feel the breath of death.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

"Do you really think that when the palace comes, those local gentry who are clear about the court will suddenly be kind?"

Zhou Zheng sneered.

If these gentry had such goodwill, and were even willing to cooperate with the imperial court, Xiangjun would not have changed for three hundred years.

In Zhou Zheng's view, there are only three possibilities!

First, once Zhou Zheng violates the autumn tax policy of the imperial court and adds an additional thirty percent, I am afraid that the news will reach the imperial court immediately, and what awaits Zhou Zheng at that time is a big crime!

The second is that these gentry want to pull Zhou Zheng into the water! Once the prince is pulled into the water, holding Zhou Zheng's handle in his hand, in the future, in Xiangjun, those guys are afraid that they will turn the sky upside down!

The third and most serious is that the government forces the people to rebel, and the people can't afford to increase the tax burden by 30% of the autumn, so they rise up!

No matter what the possibility is, for Zhou Zheng, it is the result of a catastrophe!

Hearing this, Gu Jiang was also scared into a cold sweat!

He thought that all this was because the landlord of Xiangjun gave Zhou Zheng face, but he never expected that there were so many risks hidden in it.
