Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 180 I am a law-abiding prince
Outside Wang's pottery workshop, Jiang Chao threw a middle-aged man on the ground like a chicken, and said to Zhao Kun, "Master, this is Manager Zheng of Liu's pottery workshop."

Zhao Kun nodded, and then looked at the middle-aged man on the ground. Judging by his disheveled hair, he probably suffered a lot.

But this guy deserved it, and he dared to make up his mind about Taofang.

Although the craftsmanship of porcelain will be mastered sooner or later, but now is the time to make money, and there can be no mistakes.

If it is a craft developed by the peers themselves, it is fine, but if it is stolen by improper means, it must be investigated to the end.

Er Mazi is just a not very clever spy, if a more professional one comes, he will be hard to guard against.

"What's your relationship with the Liu family?" Zhao Kun asked with a frown.

"The villain Zheng Cai, I have met the young master."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zheng quickly got up from the ground, bowed to Zhao Kun and said, "The villain is the son-in-law of the Liu family, and he is mainly in charge of the pottery workshop in the west of the Liu family city."

Liu's son-in-law?
Judging by the look of this roe-headed mouse, he probably married Ruhua, right?
The ancients really didn't pay attention!

Zhao Kun looked at Shopkeeper Zheng and couldn't help feeling disgusted, so he went straight to the topic, pointed to Er Mazi beside him and said, "Is he from your Liu Family Taofang?"

Shopkeeper Zheng actually knew that Er Mazi had been exposed for a long time. Hearing Zhao Kun's question at this moment, he suddenly fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, and cried, "I don't know that this pottery workshop belongs to you!"

"........."

Zhao Kun frowned, and without further ado, Jiang Chao stepped forward with a big mouth, slapping Shopkeeper Zheng in circles, screaming "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo".

"I haven't finished asking, and you took his jaw off?" Zhao Kun glanced at the screaming shopkeeper Zheng, and then looked at Jiang Chao with some dissatisfaction.

Jiang Chao chuckled: "Then I'll put it back on for him!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward, clasped the shopkeeper Zheng's chin with one hand, made a clicking sound, and then said to Zhao Kun: "My lord, it's ready!"

The corner of Zhao Kun's mouth twitched, and he thought that this is a person, you treat it as a toy, you can take it apart if you want, and put it back if you don't want to?

Do you understand the humanitarian spirit?
Zhao Kun was a little speechless, and at the same time expressed sympathy for what happened to shopkeeper Zheng: "If I ask you anything, you should tell me honestly, so as not to suffer again, understand?"

Shopkeeper Zheng moved his mouth, and said to Zhao Kun with a mournful face: "If you go back to your son, he is not from my pottery workshop, but just a secret worker I hired."

sure!
Jiang Chao's torture skills are really not in vain. After this operation, he can make people tell the truth immediately. With this method, he will become the leader of the military commander in the future.

"You asked him to steal porcelain craft?"

Zhao Kun continued to ask.

Boss Zheng glanced at Jiang Chao cautiously, and then said in a crying voice: "The villain is also obsessed with money, that's why he came up with such a dirty idea. I hope Mr. Haihan will spare the villain this time!"

"Whether I will forgive you or not depends on your performance..."

Zhao Kun said something casually, then stared coldly at Shopkeeper Zheng and said, "Answer me a question first."

"Your...Young Master, you ask..."

Shopkeeper Zheng raised his head embarrassingly, and looked at Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun: "I heard from Er Mazi that you have mastered the secrets of the raw materials of porcelain and seven of the thirteen processes..."

"Er Mazi stole the last six crafts, so... I am curious, how do you know the raw materials and the seven crafts?"

"This……"

Shopkeeper Zheng swallowed, and subconsciously looked at Er Mazi.

Er Mazi lowered his head and did not meet his gaze.

Jiang Chao frowned, stepped forward again, grabbed shopkeeper Zheng's chin, and was about to strike.

Shopkeeper Zheng was startled, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "No, don't do it! I say, I say!"

"Let him speak."

Zhao Kun waved his hand to signal Jiang Chao to back down, waiting for shopkeeper Zheng to explain the details.

But at this moment, a rush of hoofbeats came from a distance.

Zhao Kun squinted his eyes and found that the leader was actually an official. It seemed that the leader was not small.

"It's from Shaofu." Wu Cheng reminded him.

Shaofu?

Isn't the Shaofu in charge of the royal family's basic necessities?What are you doing here?

I didn't take the initiative to find them!
Zhao Kun was a little puzzled. At this time, the official of the Shaofu had brought someone over.

"Xiaguan Pingzhun Cheng Suuta, I have met the young master!"

The officials of the Shaofu who came hurriedly saluted Zhao Kun: "I just received a report from the Liu family that the Liu family's pottery workshop was robbed. The officials were worried about the health of the Wang family's pottery workshop, so they brought people here in a hurry!"

"Oh?" Zhao Kun raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Young Mansion is also in charge of arresting thieves?"

"Of course the Shaofu doesn't care about arresting the robbers, but the Liu Family Taofang is an industry run by the Shaofu, so I have to take care of it."

"If my master remembers correctly, Pingzhun should be responsible for regulating prices in various places, so how come he still runs a pottery workshop?"

"My lord doesn't know that besides handling grain and storing gold and jade, the Shaofu is also involved in industrial management."

Awata clapped his hands and replied.

Zhao Kun chuckled: "Since the Liu family pottery workshop belongs to your young mansion, I will ask you, Master Zheng sent someone to steal the craftsmanship from the Wang family pottery workshop, do you know?"

"This……"

Su Tian glanced at Shopkeeper Zheng hesitantly, and then said to Zhao Kun: "There must be some misunderstanding here, wait for the officials to arrest them, interrogate them clearly, and then give you a satisfactory answer."

"Ah!"

Zhao Kun let out a "huh" and said with a half-smile: "Could it be that Su Pingzhun is teasing me like a child? The thief of Liu's Taofang, hand it over to the behind-the-scenes boss of Liu's Taofang for interrogation?"

"Young master, please rest assured, the young mansion is Daqin's young mansion, not a certain family's young mansion, the subordinate officials will deal with it fairly!"

Awata said solemnly.

Zhao Kun looked at him blankly, and said coldly: "I don't believe you!"

"This……"

Su Tian was stared at by Zhao Kun, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally bowed his hands to Zhao Kun: "Young master, I don't know. The Liu family and the Li family have a deep friendship, and I have no choice but to be an official. Don't take shopkeeper Zheng back."

"The Li family?" Zhao Kun suddenly realized.

With that said, everything is clear.

Li Yuan didn't have the qualification to sell porcelain, so he partnered with the Liu family to study porcelain. In order to complete the complete porcelain craftsmanship, he did not hesitate to get the support of the Shaofu to do the theft.

Seeing that Zhao Kun was silent, Su Tian saluted again and said, "I hope you can do me a favor, don't make it difficult for me to be an official."

"As for shopkeeper Zheng, I will definitely punish you severely and give you a satisfactory explanation."

Zhao Kun: "But I don't need you to explain, I just want to find out the matter."

Su Tian: "Young Master, please don't embarrass me and dismiss me as an official."

Zhao Kun looked at this young mansion official and was very upset.

Although he was not favored by the first emperor, he was still the prince, a little Ping Zhun Cheng, who kept asking himself to give him convenience?
Zhao Kun really wanted to say, who are you?
But with so many people around, the prince's self-cultivation is still needed, so he gave Jiang Chao a look.

Jiang Chao understood immediately and left the crowd.

At this time, another carriage came on the road outside Taofang.

Taking a closer look, Zhao Kun recognized the carriage, which belonged to Tong Wuhou.

Seeing Tong Wuhou's carriage coming this way, Su Tian couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

As an official of the Shaofu, he naturally recognized Tong Wuhou's carriage, and also knew that this place was a fiefdom of the Wang family.

In the Qin Dynasty, when nobles caught thieves in their own fiefs, it was up to the nobles themselves to decide. Even the emperor could not interfere easily. Now, the Shaofu, who is the emperor's pocketbook, actually came to meddle in his own business?

Do you really think the Wang family is easy to bully?

Thinking of this, the cold sweat on Awata's forehead grew more and more, and he couldn't help wiping it with a silk cloth, preparing to meet Wang Ben's scolding.

At the same time, Wang Li also walked out of the room in a daze, and cursed, "Who doesn't open his eyes, dare to go to Lao Tzu's place to make trouble?"

This "Lao Tzu" is a swear word he learned from Zhao Kun. Although he knows that this Lao Tzu is not that Lao Tzu, it is very exciting to say it!

But as soon as he finished cursing, he was swung on the head by a big hand and turned around in a circle.

"What nonsense are you kidding?!"

"Father? Why are you here?"

Wang Li raised his head in bewilderment, and saw Wang Ben with a fierce look on his face, and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

"I heard that you didn't return all night, let me see what you are doing!" Wang Ben said with his eyes wide open.

"I……"

Wang Li was momentarily at a loss for words, and turned to look at Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun raised his hand to his forehead, sighed secretly, and then walked towards Wang Ben with the warmest smile on his face: "Tong Wuhou, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my body is getting brighter!"

"Humph!"

Wang Ben snorted, ignored him, and turned to look at Su Tian.

Seeing Wang Ben looking towards him, Su Tian hurriedly led his subordinates to salute: "I have seen Marquis Tong Wu!"

Wang Ben gave a "hmm" and frowned, "Why did you come to Qiankou Village?"

"This……"

Su Tian felt very bitter. An unfavorable prince had already caused him a lot of trouble, and now there was a powerful Marquis, what should he do?
Although the Li family had the backing of Prime Minister Li Si, Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu, was not inferior to Li Si at all, and could even stabilize Li Si by one head.

Thinking of this, Awata began to regret coming to Qiankou Village.

But it has come, and it is not so easy to leave, so I can only bite the bullet and tell the ins and outs of the future.

After Wang Ben finished listening, he glanced at shopkeeper Zheng, and then said lightly: "Since it's theft, let the Sikou Mansion deal with it, and the Shaofu can take care of its own affairs."

"I'm afraid..."

"Ok?"

"Then... the officer will leave first!"

The so-called high-ranking official crushes people to death, but this senior official does not know how many ranks, directly suppressing Su Tian dare not refute.

"If Li Si asks about this matter, let him come to Ben Hou, or you can go to His Majesty."

Hearing this, Awata was scared to pee.

Let Prime Minister Li find Tong Wuhou?Looking for His Majesty?
The officials in the Shaofu have no guts!

That shopkeeper Zheng is a damn good-for-nothing, he is really harmful, and the Liu family and the Li family actually use the Shaofu as a weapon. If this is stabbed at His Majesty, everyone will die together!

Thinking of this, Su Tian didn't want to stay in Qiankou Village for a moment, so he had to report this matter to the Shangguan of the Shaofu immediately.

Then everyone saw that the menacing Shaofu officials rushed towards the main road rolling and crawling.

Seeing their appearance, some villagers couldn't help booing. When Su Tian got on his horse, some even picked up stones and threw them at him, and some bold villagers even threatened his mount.

Looking at the scene in the distance, Wang Li suddenly couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

And Wang Ben also turned a blind eye, and walked straight into the living room of Taofang.

…………

In the meeting room.

Wang Ben sat at the main seat, Wang Li and Zhao Kun sat on the left and right respectively, and Wu Cheng and Jiang Chao stood outside the door.

After a moment of silence, Wang Li spoke first, "Father, my son and I came here because more than a dozen houses in the village were collapsed by the snow and need to be dealt with in time."

"The affairs of the village are handled by the officials in the village. Why do you need to deal with them?" Wang Ben glanced at Wang Li and said calmly.

"But this is my fief, I should care about the people in the fief..."

"Then why didn't you return all night?"

"Because I caught a cold and got a cold, my son was worried that it would be unsafe to walk at night, so I stayed at the old man's house for one night."

Wang Li's answer was quite satisfactory, and Wang Ben couldn't fault it, so he turned his head and looked at Zhao Kun: "Before I came, I already knew that your people dared to break the law openly, do you really think my Great Qin's laws are just a show? "

"No way, I am a law-abiding prince, how could I openly break the law?" Zhao Kun said with an innocent face.

The corner of Wang Ben's mouth twitched, thinking that you are a traitor, who are you pretending to be in front of?
"If you obey the law, how can you rush into Liu's Taofang and arrest people?"

"Have it?"

Zhao Kun tilted his head, looked out of the door with some doubts, and then shouted: "Jiang Wa'er, Xiao Chen, you two come in!"

"Young master, what are your orders?"

Jiang Chao and Chen Ping saluted Wang Ben and turned to look at Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun frowned: "Tong Wuhou said that you are blatantly breaking the law and forcibly arresting shopkeeper Zheng. Is this true?"

"Master Hui, I think there is some misunderstanding about this matter!"

Before Jiang Chao could answer, Chen Ping took the lead and said, "After we two learned that the Wang Family Taofang was robbed by a thief, we searched for the thief's trace along the way, but the thief was very cunning and hid in the Liu Family Taofang;

The two of us knew that Liu's Taofang could not break in, but we didn't know that the thief was trying to kill shopkeeper Zheng. In desperation, we had no choice but to break into Liu's Taofang and try to rescue Zheng's shopkeeper;
After the thief had subdued him, he never thought that before he died, he actually confessed that shopkeeper Zheng was his accomplice, so he brought shopkeeper Zheng back..."

I rub!

Was the scene so thrilling?

Zhao Kun looked at Chen Ping dumbfounded, and Wang Li also looked at Chen Ping excitedly, wondering why he didn't bring himself?This is so war-like, exciting enough, full of ups and downs!
However, the corner of Wang Ben's mouth twitched, and he wondered where this kid Zhao Kun got the guards, so he can talk so nonsense?

If it weren't for the Liu family's own eyeliner, they would have believed his nonsense.

However, the evidence has been dealt with cleanly, even if the Sikou Mansion went to investigate, nothing could be found.

It seems that there is no way to beat Zhao Kun with this matter.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Ben pretended to be very relieved and nodded: "It's hard for you."

"If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, remember not to be reckless. After all, son Kun belongs to the royal family, and the law must not be messed up."

Chen Ping nodded in agreement, and Jiang Chao saluted.

Zhao Kun glanced at Chen Ping appreciatively, and then said to Wang Ben, "It happens that Marquis Tongwu is here, why don't we interrogate shopkeeper Zheng together?"

"Ah!"

Wang Ben let out a "huh" and said with a sneer, "He's quite calculating!"

"hey-hey……"

Zhao Kun chuckled, and then said to Jiang Chao: "Go and bring Manager Zheng!"

Soon, Jiang Chao came in with shopkeeper Zheng.

Wang Ben looked serious about this matter, while Zhao Kun and Wang Li also looked unfriendly.

When Boss Zheng saw Wang Ben, his legs went limp from fright.

He had seen Wang Ben a long time ago, and also witnessed Su Tian leaving in despair.

Thinking about it with my toes now, I am also in danger.

It seems that the Liu family and the Li family regard themselves as abandoned sons!

Thinking of this, shopkeeper Zheng fell down on his knees with a plop before waiting for Wang Ben to ask questions, kowtowed to Wang Ben and said, "Honor Tongwu, please spare me! The villain will never dare again! I beg Hou Tongwu to let the villain go!"

"Your current situation, I think you should also be aware that our Marquis Tongwu is a celebrity around His Majesty. Even Li Si, when he sees Marquis Tongwu, he has to give him three points. I..."

"Cough, cough..."

Hearing what Zhao Kunyue said was getting more and more outrageous, Wang Ben couldn't help coughing lightly, waved his hands and said, "Let's get down to business!"

Zhao Kun said "oh", then turned to look at shopkeeper Zheng: "My son is asking you now, and you must tell the truth!"

"I will explain! I will explain! No matter what the young master asks, I will explain!"

Shopkeeper Zheng turned pale with fright, and quickly kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Zhao Kun pursed his lips and asked, "Then let me ask you now, how did you know about the raw materials and processes of porcelain?"

"It's Mr. Gongshu!"

Shopkeeper Zheng replied impatiently.

"Mr. Gongshu?"

Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "Could it be that he is a public loser?"

"People who are public losers..."

Wang Ben glanced at him, and reminded: "It's just an alien who was kicked out by the public loser..."

"Evicted? Why?"

"Because he not only studies mechanics, but also studies alchemy..."

"This……"

This is so versatile!

Physical chemistry, proficient in everything?
If it is placed in later generations, a proper scientist can be placed in ancient times, probably in the dark system.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kun immediately became interested in Mr. Gongsun, so he asked shopkeeper Zheng, "Then how did Mr. Gongshu know the raw materials of porcelain?"

Having said all this, shopkeeper Zheng has nothing to worry about, and hastily replied truthfully: "Mr. Gongshu claimed that porcelain is a good material for alchemy, so he threw the porcelain into the alchemy furnace, and the ashes that came out were the same as white alchemy. Similar to mud."

I rub!

What a fucking talent!

Sure enough, science has no era, and the source of all science actually comes from accidents.

Even the black powder that changed the world was unintentionally practiced by alchemists.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kun has already guessed the ins and outs of the whole incident.

It is estimated that the Liu family pottery workshop learned the raw materials, and then let the old craftsmen who fired the pottery pots in their own home try and fumble, and finally learned about the seven processes.

But the glazing at the back is difficult and cannot be deduced, so he took the risk and committed theft.

In fact, white porcelain and pottery pots, except for the difference in raw materials, are basically similar in process. Only the glaze and temperature require technology.

However, this dark scientist, Mr. Gongshu, is a good candidate. It just so happens that the cement factory lacks a factory manager.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Kun narrowed his eyes and looked at Shopkeeper Zheng: "Are you telling the truth?"

"It's all the truth! The villain dare not expire, Young Master, and dare not lie to Marquis Tongwu!"

Boss Zheng began to kowtow again and begged for mercy: "I hope the young master will spare the villain!"

"It's okay to forgive you, but you have to find a way to get Mr. Gongshu to come to me!"

"what?"

Shopkeeper Zheng was surprised: "Why is this?"

"You shouldn't ask, don't ask."

"Yes, yes, the villain must obey the young master's orders!"

Zhao Kun glanced at Shopkeeper Zheng, and then said to Jiang Chao: "First confirm whether he is lying, and then invite people here!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Chao nodded, and then carried the shopkeeper Zheng who was still crying and begging for mercy, out of the hall.

When the hall returned to calm again, Zhao Kun turned his head to look at Wang Ben again, and smiled: "The Marquis Tongwu came to Qiankou Village, he shouldn't just visit us, right?"

"The old man was in a hurry, so I came to see you..."

Wang Ben rolled his eyes, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and said, "Your Majesty has already spoken, and you need to test your training results in advance, and the time is set in three days!"

"what?"

Zhao Kun and Wang Li looked at each other when they heard the words, both showing surprised expressions.
