Liu Qiye and Xiao Hu, who were kneeling aside, listened to the exchange between the prince and Manager Qin. They felt regretful in their hearts. If they had known that the prince valued Su Jin's wooing, why would they bother to provoke him? Zhu Laizi was the only one to blame.
Idiot, Su Jin fed him a mouthful of livestock dung on the street, and when he retaliated, Su Jin took away the evidence. If he had been smarter, he would have cut off Su Jin's head with a knife, but now he has done something like this.
.
"Your Majesty, please tell me how to deal with Deputy Manager Zhu." Qin Fei asked cautiously. Zhu Laizi's matter must be resolved, and avoidance is not a problem. Originally, he could decide how to deal with a subordinate.
, but the matter was so serious that Qin Fei did not dare to make his own decision.
"How do you think we should deal with it?" Prince Teng's face immediately turned gloomy when he mentioned Zhu Lezi.
"This is what the villain is thinking about. Deputy Manager Zhu's behavior this time was extremely inappropriate. He should have been punished mercilessly. However, he has been following the prince for a long time and has done a lot of things over the years.
In addition, he has a group of brothers who are devoted to him. Now is the time to recruit people. The villain wants to simply send him to the leader of Sui Village in Kuangfeng Village. The villain thinks that the leader of Sui Village is because of our great strength.
Only for the sake of supporting them are they willing to be driven by us, and it might not be a bad thing to send someone to supervise and supervise them."
"Confused!" Zhao Zongdan shouted: "Qin Fei, Qin Fei, you are living like a dog at your age, how can you tolerate this matter? Zhu Lezi is a betrayal. Instead, he let him go to the village to enjoy the blessings. Why don't you go out?
What a bad idea!”
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that if I punish that Zhu Lezi, he is so unruly that it would not be a good idea if his gang of people causes trouble."
"Afraid of this or that, why should I still be controlled by this gang of ruffians? Zhu Laizi must be severely punished, otherwise everyone will follow his example and make trouble, and we will all be implicated. As for the gang under him,
Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be beheaded, isn’t that the dozen or so people? I’ll behead them all and I won’t tolerate it.”
"I'm afraid we can't save more than a dozen lives. Mr. Tang told me just yesterday that the four lives that night were already a bit tricky. The old couple's son was actually an official, working as a police officer in Yue County, Jinghu Road.
The county magistrate, after getting the news this time, rushed back at night and asked Mr. Tang to quickly find the murderer, otherwise he would sue the Ministry of Punishment; this time another life was involved, I am afraid Mr. Tang will not be able to cover it up."
"What is your head for? Don't you know how to use your brain? I can't handle this kind of thing myself." Zhao Zongdan was anxious and cursed.
Qin Fei was obedient, with a sad look on his face, and couldn't think of any good solution for the moment.
Xiao Hu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly kowtowed his hair and said, "Please tell me, Prince Qi, I have a way to solve this problem."
Only then did Zhao Zongdan notice that there were two people kneeling under the table, so he said with a straight face: "Get up and answer."
Master Qi and Xiao Hu Xie'en stood up, Xiao Hu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, except for Zhu Laizi and others, there is no need to take action in the city. Even if they are unnoticed except for them, the body cannot be hidden. It would be bad if it is exposed.
What the villain means is that it is better to pretend to follow the words of Qin Da's manager and send a message to Zhu Lezi, ordering him to take his brothers to Kuangfeng Village to join the gang, saying that it is the prince's extra kindness and allowing him to perform meritorious service for his crime; he sent someone to the Sui Village leader in advance.
He asked him to lead people to set up an ambush at the foot of Langtou Mountain. When Zhu Laizi and others arrived, they would finish the pot and kill them all. Wouldn't it be a one-and-done thing? There was also an explanation afterwards that they were killed by bandits, and the family members of this group of people were close to each other.
I have nothing to say, even if I want to make a fuss, nothing will happen."
After hearing Xiao Hu's plan, several people immediately clapped their hands and shouted, Zhao Zongdan smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, he is a talented person. This plan is very good, so I will do it as you said; you will handle it by yourself. After it is completed,
, the affairs of Nancheng will be left to your management."
Xiao Hu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "How dare you take the position of the Seventh Master? The Seventh Master has great prestige in Nancheng. All the snakes and rats dare not act rashly. The villain is still young and may not be able to stand alone in Nancheng. If the prince sincerely promotes the Xiao
Yes, I will allow the villain to practice with Master Qi for a few more years."
Master Liu Qi glanced at Xiao Hu with gratitude and made a calculation in his heart. From now on, he must not use Xiao Hu as his deputy. He must discuss everything with him and give him enough face. This kid will surely rise to a high position in a few years.
As for me, the prince will definitely put him to good use.
Seeing that Xiao Hu was so humble, Zhao Zongdan stopped insisting and said with a smile: "As you asked, it's hard for you to miss your friendship with Liu Qi. You are a grateful person, Liu Qi!"
The seventh master hurriedly bowed and said: "The villain is here, the prince has given orders."
"You must be cautious when doing things in the future. This kind of incident must not happen no matter what. There have been a lot of rumors recently, and some people are not trustworthy. You should be more careful. Take care of what needs to be dealt with, and find ways to deal with what needs to be dealt with. Ten million
Don't leave behind excuses and evidence; remember, as long as there is no real evidence, the prince and I will naturally be able to calm down the storm; this year's harvest is good, and most of the shares in the four cities have been completed. You must step up, and you will benefit from the extra, right? Those who don't
The unscrupulous people who are willing to surrender should be more sophisticated in their methods. Don't blindly kill and kill, but use their brains more."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice. The villain made a big mistake. Instead of punishing him, Your Majesty taught him earnestly. This really makes us ashamed. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will do our best to serve Your Majesty and live up to Your Majesty's forgiveness." Seventh Master.
With tears streaming down his face, he knelt down and kowtowed. Xiao Hu also knelt down and kowtowed.
Zhao Zongdan waved his hand and said: "As long as you understand my king's good intentions, go ahead and do things with your heart. Don't let me down."
Liu Qi and Xiao Hu agreed repeatedly and bowed out of the study.
After Zhao Zongdan waited for the two of them to go out, he leaned back heavily on his chair, rubbed his brows, and sighed. Qin Fei did not dare to say anything and lowered his hands to listen to his orders.
After a long while, Zhao Zongdan said: "General Manager Qin, I have been a little restless recently. I don't know why?"
"Your Majesty, you are working too hard and I think you have to worry about too much. We can only share so much trouble for you, and I feel really ashamed. Your Majesty, why don't you relax and go out for a walk more often? The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the autumn maples in the Western Mountains are about to turn red. Why don't you go and watch them?
Fan.”
"I don't want to be more relaxed, but I live here leisurely, living here all day long, and I am really unwilling to do so. I am the only one left in Taizong's lineage. Doves occupy magpies' nests, and snakes coil around dragons' dens. How can I not hate it?
You hate me!" Zhao Zongdan hit the table with his fist, causing the inkstone, pen holder, tea cup to jingle.
Qin Fei hurried forward, straightened the overturned tea cup, wiped away the tea with a cloth, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be upset. To achieve great things, you have to be patient and calm. Now that your Majesty is in a small state, you will definitely get what you want in due time."
I hope that the prince is orthodox, but this is not the time to act rashly. He has occupied Yingtian for ten years, and then nourished tens of thousands of strong soldiers in the village. When the time comes, he will rise up when the time comes, and the world will surely swarm with him. There is no need to worry about failure to achieve great things.
It just happens when needed, not overnight."
"I don't understand this truth, but I feel depressed in my heart. That man has no heirs so far, which is a good sign. God must have punished him for being unkind and he will have no heirs. I am ten years younger than him, but he has many heirs. This is God's fault.
A sign."
"Exactly, so I advise the prince to stay in peace. Now there are nearly 4,000 soldiers in several cottages. As long as there is sufficient supply of property, the number can be increased rapidly. When we have tens of thousands of powerful soldiers in our hands, we will take advantage of the war in the northwest.
The opportunity will surely work out, so just relax, Your Majesty."
"Yes, there is no need to rush, there is no need to rush; you are right, I, the king, need to relax his mind. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will gather all the poetry club members to go to the West Mountain to enjoy the maple leaves and the full moon. You can arrange this.
, ask Su Jin to come with him. Another thing is that they must abide by the rules in the village and practice on a regular basis. They must not come out to rob or rob property at will. Tell them, whoever ruins my important affairs, I will take.
's head."
"Follow the prince's orders."
"Go and greet the guests. I will rest for a while and then go see people."
…
On the first day at the palace, Su Jin's eyes were opened. Not to mention the luxurious and splendid courtyards and houses, Prince Teng's appeal was really unmatched. On the princess's birthday, it was not the tenth birthday, so a bunch of officials, big and small, swarmed in.
There were nearly two hundred people, large and small, and the gifts they brought slowly filled the small room where the gifts were placed. Gold ingots and silver ingots were common things, and there were countless jades, agates, pearls, and corals. It was all done in one birthday.
The property obtained is at least one hundred thousand guan.
While Su Jin was envious, he couldn't help but turn his thoughts to that terrible guess. What was the reason for such crazy money-making? It is normal for ordinary people to celebrate birthdays every fifth and tenth. This Prince Teng celebrated his birthday once a year.
My wife had sex once, and she went too far.
Su Jin calculated the accounts for him. The annual royal salary was nearly 120,000 guan, the income from the city was less than 500,000 guan, and the plate fee was 1.2 million guan. In addition, the filial piety of all officials on birthdays was at least 300,000 guan.
Wan Guan, a rough sum adds up to an astronomical figure. Prince Teng earns 2.1 million Guan every year while sitting at home.
At the beginning, Su Jin's 100,000 guan of money in his secret room had already piled up into a small mountain. With these more than 2 million, wouldn't it be enough to fill dozens of houses? After a few years, wouldn't the palace not even have a place to stay?
Okay, what has the money been used for besides daily use and handing over to officials?
As a noble prince of the royal family, he disregarded worldly opinions, crazily amassed money, made friends with gangsters, and sat in the gangs. His behavior was extremely inconsistent with his status. It is not to blame that Su Jin felt guilty from time to time.dd
