The Yulin Army appeared with murderous intent, intimidating all parties. At the same time, they represented the supreme imperial power, and no one dared to be disrespectful in the slightest.
The Emperor of Chu loved his people as his sons, but that didn't mean he didn't kill people. When the emperor was angry, blood flowed thousands of miles away. How can the majestic imperial power be underestimated?
Da da da~
Da da da~
The sound of horse hooves spread, and everyone followed the sound. The Emperor of Chu tightened his reins and stepped forward. Fang Xuanling, the Minister of Industry, the Minister of Hubu, and all the city defense camps present bowed and saluted, making loud and powerful sounds.
resounded across the sky.
"We sincerely welcome your Majesty!"
"emperor?"
Seeing this, the more than a thousand craftsmen turned pale and looked extremely frightened. With a plop, they all crawled to the ground. Their previous arrogant and showy appearance was long gone.
"Everyone is safe!"
"Your Majesty, I am a humble minister..."
Before Fang Xuanling finished speaking, Emperor Chu waved his hand to stop him. Emperor Chu knew very well what he was thinking. In front of more than a thousand craftsmen, how could Emperor Chu let his right-hand man openly say that he was not doing well in his work?
Besides, with Fang Xuanling's vigorous and resolute methods, it was impossible for him to be embarrassed by trivial matters. The construction of the urn city and underground city was a top priority at the moment, and craftsmen were the foundation of city construction. In order to appease their emotions, Fang Xuanling chose such gentle methods.
In the past, not to mention thousands of craftsmen, even thousands of troops would have killed everyone who deserved to be killed, without the slightest fear, and executed without mercy.
"Xuanling, tell me what's going on!"
Emperor Chu was suspicious. Only by understanding the ins and outs of the matter could he judge whether someone was really causing trouble secretly.
A little while.
Fang Xuanling told the whole thing, which was roughly the same as what Xiao Guizi explained, but Emperor Chu felt strange that the material transportation did not take a day, so why did the rope break today and hurt ten innocent people at once.
"Your Majesty, I suspect that someone has done this deliberately and is hiding an ulterior secret!"
Fang Xuanling is not a mediocre person, he sees everything, but he is suffering from the lack of evidence and will not be able to convict for a while. In addition, due to the chaos of the craftsmen, he has no time to find out the person who is causing the obstruction.
"No problem!"
"For such a small matter, I came here personally just to find out who is killing innocent people."
Emperor Chu spoke up and walked towards the scene of the accident. When he came to the place where the boulders were being moved, he discovered that all the ropes hanging the boulders were actually pulled by manual force.
These huge stones are needed for the foundation of the Wengcheng, and the number is so terrifying. I can’t imagine how many people it would take to just transport the huge stones to complete the construction of the Wengcheng. No wonder the rise and fall of every dynasty in ancient times was related to the large-scale construction.
The most common saying is that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty lost his country due to his large-scale construction projects, and Emperor Qin Shihuang had a civil uprising in Xiuli Mountain and was eventually destroyed. All the people's fat and money were spent on houses. When the people are poor, how can the country be rich?
History tells the Emperor of Chu that as a king, he should work hard to govern and focus on the economy, and the country will be prosperous and strong. If he spends his energy on large-scale construction, the country will be ruined and the family will be ruined.
But Emperor Chu felt that all this could be changed. At present, Chu State was governed by science and technology. Everything that could be done with machines did not require the use of manpower.
Emperor Chu was not in a hurry at the moment. The most important thing at the moment was to solve the problem of the strike by the craftsmen. Emperor Chu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked across the rope in front of him. Looking at the rope with neat cuts, he was very sure that someone was secretly doing it.
More hands and feet.
at this time.
Emperor Chu's face was as dark as water, and his eyes were like daggers. He turned around and glanced at the thousands of craftsmen. He was sure that the people who made the work were hidden among the craftsmen in front of him.
Looking around, Emperor Chu's face was extremely gloomy. He stood up and walked towards the ten people guarding the patrol camp.
These ten people were detained by the patrol camp. It was thought that they were trying to deceive and stir up trouble among the craftsmen, and they were caught by Fang Xuanling.
Emperor Chu checked the information of ten people. Some of them came from the Great Khan Empire, and they were all subordinates of Farewell My Concubine. These people caused trouble again. Did they want to rescue Farewell My Concubine, or did they have other intentions?
.
After finding the culprit, Emperor Chu calmly came to the ten people, moved around and punched them, his sharp eyes made the ten people's scalps numb and their hearts were extremely frightened.
"Xuanling, why are they being detained?"
Emperor Chu did not directly reveal the identities of the ten people, but asked Fang Xuanling sideways. The ten people were already sweating profusely, with panic in their eyes. The figure of Emperor Chu in front of them was like a towering mountain, weighing them down and suffocating them.
.
"Your Majesty, these ten people incited the craftsmen to go on strike and made rude remarks, so I ordered them to be detained."
"Well, that's it!"
"The state has national laws, and every family has its own rules. What I dislike the most in my life are villains who confuse the public with their evil words and confuse others. They trigger the laws of Wu Chu and must not be tolerated."
"Come here, pull him down and kill him on the spot as a warning to others!"
Emperor Chu gave an order, and two lines of Yulin troops suddenly appeared, with their swords drawn from their sheaths and their swords' blades flashing, capturing people's hearts and souls.
Thump~
Several sounds of kneeling were heard in succession, and four of the ten people knelt down directly, shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life!"
"The common people were also confused for a while and were bewitched by them. They noticed that it was them who did it, and it was they who secretly destroyed the rope."
"Your Majesty, the common people are obsessed with their money and want their money. I hope your Majesty will spare my life!"
The four craftsmen knelt down and cried bitterly, slapping their hands on the ground and kowtowing like they were pounding garlic. They had runny noses and tears. Not to mention how sad they were.
"Tell me, who are you and why do you want to destroy the ropes and harm the people of Chu!"
Emperor Chu knew that he was asking questions, but he had to do this and let these six people reveal the evidence of their crimes one by one. This move was of great significance. It could easily resolve the current crisis and at the same time let the people of Chu State once again have a deep understanding of the despicability of the Great Khan Empire.
Suddenly.
Two lines of Yulin soldiers stood up and came to the six people, pointing their sharp swords directly at their necks. The six people's cultivation level was originally above the patrol camp. If they had left early, they might have escaped.
But facing the Yulin Army now, the six of them want to stir up trouble, which is simply wishful thinking.
"Since I have governed the Chu State, I have never harmed the people. If you are ordinary people and you are deceived by others like the four of them, I can forget about it."
"But you kept silent. Do you have a guilty conscience and yet you confessed?"
Emperor Chu's figure stood tall as a spear and appeared in front of the six people. His expression was calm and gentle, and his powerful voice stirred in the air and was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.
"Emperor Chu, if you want to kill or behead him, please do as you please!"
"Okay, he's a man!"
Emperor Chu raised his feet and took two steps forward. Behind him, the Yu Lin army raised his sword and dropped it. Blood splashed in the air. The person who spoke had his head in a different place.
"The method was so sharp, I almost got blood all over me!"
Killing one person is just for deterrence, and others will have a chance to confess.
"Tell me, who are you?"
The powerful and violent voice of the Yulin Army came. The five people's faces were as pale as paper, and their backs were wet with cold sweat, but they remained silent.
Swish swish swish~~
The three sword lights fell, and in an instant only the two of them were left shivering and messy in the wind. The Yulin Army's thunderous methods were never sloppy.
"This is your last chance. If you don't say anything, you will go on the road together!"
The Yulin Army raised its long sword high, and Emperor Chu stepped forward and said: "I already knew your identities. Princess Zhenhuo was a guest in the palace and stayed with her sister for a few days. You could have returned to the Great Khan safely.
Empire, now you are causing trouble in my Chu."
"Not only will you die, Princess True Fire will also be dragged down!"
Hear the sound.
The only two people left looked at each other, and at the same time knocked their legs on the ground, and said: "One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. Destroying the rope and harming the people of Chu is what we planned, and it has nothing to do with the princess."
"Okay, very good, very good. I won't talk about your culpability now. Let me introduce myself first so that the craftsmen can get to know you." (To be continued)
