Chapter 929: Cut in half or Lingchi, you choose one
First cycle——
"Madam, investigate the recent movements of the Cha family and the Bei family for me."
"We need to find out the whereabouts of their money."
Chu Qianqiu hugged Mrs. Nightingale and said seriously.
"Yes, sir."
"Have you set your sights on the legitimate daughter of their family?"
Mrs. Nightingale suddenly spoke.
"Do you think I am this kind of person?"
Chu Qianqiu knocked Mrs. Nightingale on the head angrily.
"Obviously, yes."
Mrs. Nightingale covered her mouth and smiled. She also gradually got to know Mr. Zhongwu. Apart from being lustful, he was also a person with a good temper.
So she slowly let go of her courage and joked with Master Zhongwu.
"I'll deal with you harshly next time."
"Remember, I want the most detailed information about the two families. It's best to find out their secret money direction."
"Your Excellency, do you want to consolidate the privileges of both families like Emperor Xianzong?"
"Oh, why did Madam say that?"
Chu Qianqiu asked back.
"Sir, do you want to take the exam for the school slave family?"
"This tea company has a monopoly on the best tea leaves in Yuzhou, but the quality of the tea leaves is deteriorating and the business is getting worse and worse."
"Shenwu Kingdom exports tens of millions of tea to Daxia every year, but the revenue is only one million. All the money is taken away by tea merchants in Jiangzhou and Haizhou."
"Even the nobles of Daxia have begun to reject the tea from Yuzhou."
"The tea family owns the best tea houses and the best tea varieties in the world. If you ignore the immortal tea from Zhenwu Sect and the herbal tea from Yaowang Sect, the tea that ordinary nobles drink comes from Yuzhou."
Chu Qianqiu suddenly remembered that the last time the tea family visited General Dou, they hoped that only tea from Yuzhou could be sold within the control of the Shence Army. (Note: Chapter 854)
Tea is actually very special. Unlike firewood and salt, which are necessities of life, tea is more of a luxury product.
Generally speaking, it is enjoyed by dignitaries and the citizens. If the quality of your products is too poor, no one will be willing to consume it.
The imperial court wanted to prohibit others from producing tea and only allow tea houses to sell it, which seemed unrealistic and would easily offend the public. Therefore, the tea house's monopoly was far inferior to that of the Qian family in Haizhou.
The Pei family agrees with this. You can establish a government-run institution for things like porcelain, but prohibiting others from making porcelain is a bit excessive.
Therefore, the Cha family and the Bei family were the worst among the eight imperial merchants in terms of operating conditions. They even suffered losses in some years.
This has made the royal family deeply dissatisfied with them for some time in the past.
The royal family asked you to work in these two industries to provide money for the family. Now the royal family actually wants to repay the money. Are you looking for death?
"A few years ago, the Prime Minister also proposed to cancel the privileges of the Cha family and the Bei family, and re-select the imperial merchants, including the Qian family of Haizhou."
I see.
Chu Qianqiu finally understood why the Cha family and the Bei family might have colluded with King Jing.
Because they originally relied on speculation in the Xiao family royal family and enjoyed nearly three hundred years of wealth.
Now the royal family has begun to feel that you enjoy too much and pay too little, and they feel like they are taking back your privileges.
So it is natural for them to be on good terms with King Jing and even expect the other party to succeed and continue to enjoy wealth.
Military factories such as the Tang Family and the Fan Family, which have technical capabilities, will have greater freedom of choice.
"Madam, what you said is very good. If we follow the clues of these two imperial merchants, of course we will also have information about the Qian family."
Chu Qianqiu smiled.
"Yes, sir."
"Sir, can you let go now?"
Mrs. Nightingale said angrily.
"Hey, madam, don't you want a reward?"
"Bah, this is not a reward."
The two had fun for a while.
This time, Chu Qianqiu did not stay in Peacock City, but returned to Shangjing in advance, used magic again, resurrected King Jing, and then lurked in the sky prison, waiting for Zheng Shangshu's performance.
Chu Qianqiu seemed very happy when he thought that he suddenly came to the reporter while he was writing the report letter.
In this way, Zen Master Zuyuan's favors were all eliminated.
…
Shangjing, Tianlao
Zheng Shangshu mysteriously injected his soul into the [Maitreya Buddha Statue], and the connection between him and King Jing was established instantly.
"Zheng Shangshu, is that thief Chu Qianqiu and the resurrected king a shadow warrior in disguise, or is there another mystery?"
King Jing's voice came quickly.
After all, it is not easy to confirm that this is a zombie.
"If you tell me back to the king, I can be sure that he is not a living person, but a zombie."
"What Chu Zhongwu used was the body left by the king in Shangjing."
"Your Majesty is still confused. How can these flesh and blood bodies be left here casually?"
"You must know that in the era when demons were rampant, the Blood Demon Sect, the Netherworld Sect, and the Demon Sect all had similar assassination methods."
Zheng Shangshu's behavior on weekdays was normal. Apart from arresting more prisoners and encouraging local police officers to create more prisoners, his intellectual performance was quite normal.
"I also know that this is inappropriate. Fortunately, I have obtained the "Blood Burning Technique" of the Blood Demon Sect, which can isolate the flesh-and-blood relationship and prevent prying eyes."
Oh, it turns out that King Jing has a little connection with the overseas demons.
Let me make a quick note for you.
If you dare to snitch on me, you will die.
Chu Qianqiu was listening quietly while using [Time Retrospect Realm] to mark them down.
His stealth skills are now the best in the world. After acquiring the "Taizu Shilong Jue", he has become truly elusive.
Generally, martial arts masters cannot directly detect him using mental scanning.
Not to mention a master of gathering like Zheng Shangshu.
However, it is normal for the demon sect to cooperate with King Jing. Those demons have long been beaten to death by the righteous forces.
Now that the recession is coming, they will definitely take the opportunity to do some activities.
King Jing is a relatively excellent investment target, which will naturally attract a large number of people to join him.
"I also don't understand. The flesh and blood clone should have died of exhaustion. How did Chu Zhongwu not show any flaws?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! King Jing asked puzzledly.
"Your Majesty, if the official guessed correctly, he should have used a life-extending elixir, or even an elixir."
Zheng Shangshu is one of the best in the world in terms of tracking down details. He also has a good understanding of the method of refining zombies. He even inspected and determined King Jing's body.
Such a decayed and old flesh and blood was forcibly revived by Chu Qianqiu using elixir. It was no longer something that could be solved by ordinary means.
"Is this something fucking sick?"
King Jing couldn't bear it anymore.
As soon as he heard that someone was using elixir, he just wanted to make a zombie. This was no longer using gold to make a toilet, but using gold as bricks. It was more than a waste.
It was this move that made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
"Don't worry, I still have an idea. Chu Zhongwu's move will not affect the overall situation."
"What you have to do now is to secretly inform Wanshou Temple and provide more death row prisoners."
"No problem." Zheng Shangshu said quickly.
"so be it."
King Jing hurriedly ended the conversation, while Zheng Shangshu picked up the letter and prepared to write the content of the report about Chu Qianqiu.
"Zheng Shangshu, what are you writing?"
"Chu Zhongwu?"
Zheng Shangshu's brush flickered, and he was about to tear up the report letter he had just written, but it fell into Chu Qianqiu's hands.
"I heard everything that happened just now."
"King Jing colludes with the devil, you collude with King Jing."
"You are the Minister of Punishment, tell me."
"Whether you want to be cut in half or Ling Chi, choose one yourself."
"I am very kind and will definitely fulfill your wish."
Chu Qianqiu said with a smile, and at the same time, Lord Si Mingxing possessed him directly, leaving him without the slightest ability to resist.
Zheng Shangshu broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, knelt down on the spot, kowtowed and said:
"Lord Zhongwu, I am unjustly dismissed from the official position."
"All this was caused by King Jing's persecution."
"I am willing to change my ways and return to the right path."
