"Don't talk nonsense without solid evidence. It is a serious crime to slander an official of the imperial court."

Lu Qingliu originally planned to say that he had conclusive evidence. After all, he had confirmed that the goods were delivered to Zhang Jun's people, but Zhao Guanjia said again: "I suddenly remembered that you did not buy land here."

Lu Qingliu was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and said quickly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"But you are liaising with gold thieves, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and I will barbarize your clan. Isn't that excessive?"

"No...not too much..." Lu Qingliu felt like he was falling into an ice cellar again, but he still said, "But the common people can help your majesty find more exquisite works of the Jin Kingdom."

"So you want me to spare your life?"

"The common people are willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty." Lu Qingliu knew that Zhao Guan's family had relented, but this did not mean that he was completely safe.

"What if I give in to you and you turn around and run away?"

"The common people in Yingtian Mansion are considered wealthy people. Where can the common people go?"

"Compared to your life, those family assets are nothing. You can turn around and hide."

"Your Majesty! Cao Min has only one hobby in his life, which is making money. Cao Min makes money because he wants to live a luxurious life. Without money, Cao Min is just like those people outside who don't have enough to eat, so they might as well die! Cao Min knows

Life is hard. Cao Min grew up in poverty and his mother starved to death. Cao Min swears that he will never live that kind of life!"

"You can hide in the Kingdom of Jin. Aren't you helping the Kingdom of Jin?"

"By the time the grass people hid in the Kingdom of Jin, the grass people had no use value. The Jin people were tigers and wolves, so how could they pity the grass people?"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Ning said, "You know everything."

"Whatever His Majesty asks the common people to do, the common people will do!"

There was another moment of silence. After a while, Zhao Ning said: "It's getting late. Mr. Lu, it's better to go back quickly. It's not safe after dark."

When Lu Qingliu heard this, he burst into tears of excitement. He had saved his life.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

He turned around and walked out quickly, but after taking a few steps, he came back.

"What?" Zhao Ning asked, "You don't want to live anymore?"

"No, no! The common people just have doubts. If those elites from the Jin Kingdom find the common people again and ask how the common people are doing in the south, how should the common people answer? Your Majesty, please tell me."

"Whatever the golden man asks you to do, just do it."

"this……"

"Otherwise, how can we catch more Jin people?"

"Yes! Your Majesty is wise! The common people must retreat!"

After Lu Qingliu left, Zhao Ning said to Jing Chao: "Send someone back to the capital and ask Gao Qiu to place someone next to Lu Qingliu and monitor him closely."

"yes!"

After resting for a while, Zhao Ning met Gao Shunlin, the Marquis of Du Yu.

He took Gao Shunlin's account book and asked: "What is the origin of Xie Wende who bought 20,000 acres in Changlin?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Xie family is a well-known wealthy family in Jiangling Prefecture. Xie Wende's father, Xie Zhongren, is a fellow magistrate of Jiangling Prefecture."

"Buying 20,000 acres in one go is a big deal in my opinion."

"To be honest with Your Majesty, those who can buy land are basically family members of officials, or have deep relationships with officials."

Gao Shunlin now looks like a fair and strict official.

"I understand. For the sake of your merit in reporting, you can be the military commander."

A little fat man shouted in a loud voice: "Let them know how powerful our Xiejia Village is!"

"Also, everyone should act ruthlessly as soon as possible. We have Officer Xie to vouch for us. The death of some people is nothing! But if they dare to touch our land and water, their lives will be taken!"
