This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 603 Intimidation
Looking at Liu Shiru who was kneeling on the ground trembling and trembling from time to time, a sneer slowly emerged from the corner of Wen Ruyan's mouth.

Treating a senior minister in his sixties like this, not only did Wen Ruyan feel no guilt at all, on the contrary, his depressed mood eased a little.

If it wasn't for this person's inaction, Jingzhou wouldn't be in the chaos it is today. He is not greedy for anything, and he doesn't go along with those people, but as a big official of the frontier, he watched the people under him helplessly. Wouldn't it be more hateful to cause chaos?
Think about the countless disaster victims outside the city, think about how many people were displaced because of this, and think about the girl who was killed by that counterfeit product, all of these are inseparable from this person in front of you.

Is it because you want to retreat perfectly and turn a blind eye to everything?If all the lands of the Great Zhou and Kyushu were full of such officials, how could the Great Zhou survive?When an official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes!

After a long time, Wen Ruyan said calmly: "It's cold on the ground, you are old, get up, don't fall ill because of it again."

Liu Shiru's head was firmly on the ground, trembling: "I dare not!"

"I'll ask you to get up and talk!" Wen Ruyan's tone suddenly became a little bad.

As soon as his aura radiated, Liu Shiru became even more frightened immediately. Without even thinking about it, he quickly stood up from the ground, and couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his head with his sleeve.

To be honest, he was really afraid of Wen Ruyan now.

Liu Shiru hadn't felt the aura just now for a long time. Even when Wen Ruyan was angry just now, he felt that facing him was even more terrifying than facing the current crown prince Wen Ruyu.

It's no wonder that his reputation spread all over the country in just one year. I didn't expect His Highness Prince Jing to be so powerful!
Wen Ruyan looked at him indifferently again, and then said: "Let me just say something now, the situation in Jingzhou has nothing to do with you, presumably you won't refute me, right?"

Liu Shiru hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not!"

"I know that your term of office will expire in three months, and then you will return to your hometown in a good mood. After staying in Jingzhou for so many years, although it has made this place like this now, you also If you don't join forces with them, and feel that you have worked hard without any credit, your father will naturally not make things difficult for you. Plus you are so old, maybe he will reward you with something so that you can go back and be a rich man. Do you think Is that what you want?"

As soon as Wen Ruyan finished speaking, the cold sweat on Liu Shiru's forehead broke out again.

He really thought so, anyway, he was not greedy, so what if Jingzhou was in such a mess?His Majesty may also see his hard work for many years, and he will be able to retreat perfectly without holding himself accountable.

It's just that he didn't expect his thoughts to be completely understood by Prince Jing now.

Seeing his expression, Wen Ruyan also knew that he was right, only heard him snort coldly, then looked at Liu Shiru and said: "You want to withdraw, but I just refuse, like your inaction Sin, I just want to give you a copy of the memorial to the emperor. In the memorial, the situation here is described more seriously. Do you think you can still hide? When the father is furious, don’t say it’s safe and sound. It’s good to be able to leave your family behind when you retire from your old age.”

As soon as Wen Ruyan said this, Liu Shiru was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground again, and cried out in a choked up voice, "Your Highness, please let the old minister go!"

He was really a little scared, Wen Ruyan's words were harsh, if he really explained the situation here to the present day, and then added more details about his sins, how could he escape?

Wen Ruyan picked up the white jade jug again and glanced left and right, then said slowly, "Let you go? But who will let those disaster victims go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Ruyan put the jug heavily on the table, then looked down at Liu Shiru and said again: "Your life is your life, and your family is your family. Let me ask you, those disaster victims , Those people, their lives are not their lives? They also have family members, and now their families are broken up, and the living are displaced, and I don’t know how many people will starve to death this night. Others are suffering from hunger, but you are here drunk and dreaming. , You said, why do you ask the king to let you go?"

When Wen Ruyan said these words, he also used his internal strength quietly, and the voice rang in Liu Shiru's ears like thunder. I don't know what to say.

Seeing that he was silent, Wen Ruyan was not in a hurry, and sat there quietly, waiting for him quietly.

After a long time, Liu Shiru, who was kneeling on the ground, said: "I am guilty, and I am willing to atone for my crime!"

After saying this, he seemed to have aged ten years again in an instant, and his body was a little unable to support himself. At that time, he sat paralyzed on the ground.

Hearing what he said, a satisfied smile appeared on Wen Ruyan's face.

To deal with this kind of old guy who has been in the officialdom for many years, you can't take the initiative to ask him to do this or that, and you can take the initiative to order him, but he may be obedient and obedient.

If you want him to do things for himself in a down-to-earth manner, you have to let him say this by himself.

So when Wen Ruyan came up, he scolded him first, then frightened him when his mood was unstable, and then threatened him with the lives of his family members. In the case of redemption, at this time, he will not tell himself one thing on the surface and another on the other side. In fact, it's not that he can't, but he doesn't dare.

In the end, give him another life-saving straw, and he who is already terrified will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Wen Ruyan opened his mouth and said, "Atone for your crime?"

"That's right, the guilty minister is willing to serve His Highness."

Liu Shiru is not stupid either, His Royal Highness Prince Jing suddenly appeared in his mansion at night, it is impossible to simply scold him and scare him, if he really wants his own life, why bother?

Since he is here, it means that he must have something to do by himself.And I have to do well the things he arranged, so that I can survive the last three months safely.

"Okay, since you are willing to make atonement, then this king will give you this chance, and I will promise you here tonight, if you can really help me accomplish what I want to do, after this matter is over, I will guarantee you You don’t have to worry about your life. But as for returning to your hometown in a glorious way, don’t even think about it.”

Liu Shiru sighed and said, "I understand!"

"Okay, the relief money will arrive in Jingzhou in a few days, you can then."

After coming out of the governor's mansion, Wen Ruyan looked up at the bright moon that was shining that day, then turned around and glanced at the dark governor's mansion, with a satisfied smile on his face, he left straight away.
