Chapter 953 Didn't he die of illness? !
Emperor Shi Yu Wulei seemed to be defeated by Shen Liuzhen's rhetorical question, and his stubbornness and pretense were defeated. He pursed his lips and trembled violently, tears welled up from his eyes, and hit the table with a "tick".

He stared at Shen Liuzhen stubbornly, as if he could change anything as long as he worked hard like this.

After a while, he was finally defeated by Shen Liuzhen's pleading look, raised his hand and wiped away the remaining tears from his eyes with his thumb, sighed deeply, and said calmly:

"It doesn't matter if she doesn't understand. At worst, I won't see you in the future. I'll take care of her in retirement... that's all right, you can go out."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he closed his eyes helplessly, and then got out of the car silently.

Just as Shen Liuzhen came out and took a few steps, he saw a familiar Han face approaching from a distance—it was Jia Quansan.

Compared to the pitiful appearance of squatting at the gate of Shen's mansion begging him to take him in, he looks much more at ease now, and his waist is straighter than before.

After Jia Quansan saw Shen Liuzhen, he walked a few steps happily, bowed to Shen Liuzhen, and called out:

"Master."

Shen Liuzhen frowned and said:
"You are now the imperial court's envoy, and your masters are only Wei Guo and His Majesty, so it is inappropriate to call you that."

Jia Quansan smiled and said:

"I know, but if it weren't for Shen Shizhong, I, a little bastard who runs a casino, would not have such a blessing to eat an official meal. Maybe some Xianbei master would have been beaten to death by now."

Shen Liuzhen looked alienated with his sleeves in his hands, turned his face and said:
"Your Majesty invited you here, go there, it's important."

As he said that, he was about to walk away.

Jia Quansan hurriedly stopped him, and asked for instructions in a low voice:

"No, the master has to tell me what can and cannot be said."

He was Shen Liuzhen who was specially stationed in Taiping County to work as a wind-collecting envoy on the surrounding territory of the Empress Dowager Bao. Naturally, his purpose was to monitor every move of the Empress Dowager Bao and Hua Shi, that's why he asked this question.

Shen Liuzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and taught him a serious lesson:
"Your Majesty asks, of course you have something to say, and you must not hide it. Put away your little thoughts that are not on the table, and be careful not to lose your head."

When Jia Quansan heard this, his expression froze, and he quickly answered "Yes", bowed his body with his hands down, and made way for Shen Liuzhen.

He didn't straighten up until Shen Liuzhen walked away, scratched his head in distress, and said to himself:
"Did you flatter and pat the horse's hoof?"

Then he turned and drove towards the emperor's car.

He flashed his waist badge all the way to declare his identity, and passed the inspection of layers of guards before he walked in front of the emperor's car. A young eunuch reached out his hand indifferently and pointed to a mat next to the car.

Seeing the futon on the mat, he understood, walked over and knelt on it, and shouted excitedly:

"Chen Jia Quansan, I have seen Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live, long live, long live."

The window of the carriage was opened, revealing the person sitting inside.But Jia Quansan did not dare to look up.

Emperor Ulay turned his head and glanced at him, and said:

"I'm not deaf, so there's no need to be so loud, get up."

Hearing this, Jia Quansan cautiously stood up from the futon, couldn't help raising his eyes slightly, and saw the young emperor's eyes were deep, just looking at him majesticly, he immediately shrank his neck in fright, and quickly moved He lowered his head even harder.

The emperor withdrew his gaze, as if he was flipping through some documents, when he heard the sound of flipping paper, he said:
"I've read all the rumors you've collected. Now I'd like to ask a few questions. Zhangjiabao privately set up a fortress to hide people from taxation. Why is it related to the Queen Mother Bao? What's the proof?"

Jia Quansan hung his shoulders and said in a panic:

"Ah?... This is all rumors, saying that the owner of the Zhangjiabao gave a congratulatory gift to the Empress Dowager's son, Hua Shijun, so his fortress can be kept until now. It doesn't mean that as long as it is a rumor, it can be reported. Do you still need...do you need a certificate?"

Emperor Ulay glanced at him, seemed a little disappointed, then asked:
"Whoever said it, there is always someone to prove it?"

Jia Quanshan lowered his head and blinked his eyes, his arms were trembling a little, he stammered and said:

"Yes... that's what everyone said. There is no specific witness. If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to ask the neighbors near Zhangjiabao."

Emperor Ulei looked calm, turned another page of paper, and asked coldly:
"When did it start to raise horses in an enclosure in Taiping County and recruit a large number of private soldiers? How did you come up with this number?"

When Jia Quansan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said:
"It was the incident that Shen Shizhong and Commander Xie returned from Rouran last year and passed by the vicinity of Taiping County. He brought many people to stop Shen Shizhong, because Commander Xie led an army. He didn't succeed, and he seemed to hold a grudge. Raise horses in enclosures and recruit private soldiers."

Emperor Ulay seemed a little impatient, and asked again:
"Where's the evidence?"

Jia Quansan's heart went up again, and he involuntarily raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

We all heard that the emperor protected and protected the mother and son of the empress dowager, and now he asked for evidence one sentence at a time. What if he ordered him to be killed immediately because of his nonsense without evidence?
Will Shen Shizhong be able to save him in time?
Jia Quansan said tremblingly:

"The racecourse is very large, and when you arrive in Taiping County, you can see it when you point the way. At that time, because of the enclosure, many people had their fields and houses confiscated and became refugees. This matter is not small, and everyone...everyone knows of……"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ulay was silent for a while, then suddenly sneered and said:

"Everyone knows, why don't I know? You are not the only one in the vicinity of Taiping County, but you are the only one collecting these things. Why?"

This time, Jia Quansan was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he knelt back on the futon again, and said excitedly:

"Your Majesty, what I report is true! Others don't report it because everyone is afraid of offending the Empress Dowager Bao.

Your Majesty, if you look ahead, you will know that there is another incident. It is said that Yu Baxing, the county magistrate of the lower three counties, committed suicide privately.

This incident is the most widely circulated in the market. It is said that the Empress Dowager Bao can cover the sky with one hand and is more powerful than the emperor... This is not a matter of Taiping County. "

After hearing this, Emperor Ulei turned his head in shock, looked at Jia Quansan outside the car window and asked:

"What did you say?! Yu Baxing killed the magistrate?! Didn't the magistrate of Lao County die of illness?!"

Jia Quansan was stunned, reacted for a while and said:

"I don't know the specifics, but everyone spread it like this. They also said that the family members of the county magistrate went to the capital to sue the imperial court, but everyone stopped them, and there was no way to pass the message. Later, His Majesty's The imperial edict was just a reprimand to Ba Xing, and the family accepted their fate and returned."
