Chapter 786
King Cheng looked at Caozhou Mu who was kneeling below, his expression was cold, and he snorted slightly in his heart, the Cao family is really a bunch of treacherous foxes, it is really hard for people to catch the wrong person.

He purposely suppressed the opportunity to speak for the prefect of Zhou, thinking that Cao Zhoumu would definitely raise objections and speak for the prefect of Zhou, so that he could logically use the prefect of Zhou to make the Cao family suffer.

But he didn't expect that Cao Zhoumu didn't say a word the whole time, so he had no chance to get angry at all.

"Since I know that I have committed the crime of negligence, I will fine my salary for one year. I hope that Cao Zhoumu will take it as a warning in the future. If such problems occur again, this king will have to doubt Cao Zhoumu's ability."

King Cheng spoke lightly.

Caozhou Mu repeatedly said yes.

King Cheng didn't ask him to get up, as if he had forgotten him, he turned his head and made a verdict on Zhou Zhifu.

The prefect of Zhou was sentenced to death, all property of the Zhou family was confiscated, the men were exiled to the frontier, and the women were sold as slaves.

With the verdict, Zhou Zhifu collapsed to the ground.

Hundreds of sufferers in the hall directly knelt on the ground and shouted "King Cheng, a thousand years old", and even the people watching at the gate excitedly shouted "A thousand years old".

Si Qing squatted in the crowd and opened his mouth together, feeling very upset in his heart. I really hated this feeling. In the past, others knelt down on her, but now she had to squat on the ground and pretend to kneel.

Hey, if only they were as good at fooling as County Magistrate Zhao, then she could stand and talk.

Zhou Zhifu's execution was on the same day, Wu Shihe and Chen Xiaohe rushed to the vegetable market to see him being beheaded.

Only Si Qing and Xiao Yifeng did not go, and they took the opportunity to meet Li Daya at Li's Cloth Village.

When shopkeeper Li saw Si Qing coming, he hurriedly invited him into the inner room, with an unusually bright smile, poured tea, prepared pastries, and asked Si Qing to pick two horses of his favorite ingredients.

Si Qing saw that Shopkeeper Li was so attentive, so he knew that he must have something to ask, so he asked him directly: "Does Shopkeeper Li have anything to say?"

Shopkeeper Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and stammered: "Miss Si, to be honest, I do have something important to do. Recently, news came from our cloth bank that something went wrong and the Yunjin Conference will be postponed. It starts in August, so…”

"Treasurer Li, you want Daya Li to stay for two more months?" Si Qing said succinctly.

Shopkeeper Li nodded repeatedly.

Si Qing looked at shopkeeper Li with a half-smile on his face, "The shopkeeper seems a little dishonest. You probably didn't know about this in the past two days, right? Why didn't you send me a letter? If it wasn't for me Just came to your cloth village, don’t you know nothing?”

Shopkeeper Li smiled awkwardly: "Miss Si is smart, and you really can't hide anything from you. This matter is indeed my fault. The main thing is that I made an appointment with you before and will return when the time comes, but I didn't expect this accident to happen. I really didn’t know how to tell, so I delayed.”

Listening to Shopkeeper Li's explanation, Si Qing rolled his eyes in disdain, kicked his calf and said, "Treasurer Li, I'm not a child anymore, I'm seven years old now, do you know?"

Shopkeeper Li: ...

"Uh, yes."

"So shopkeeper Li, don't think that you can fool me casually. I won't talk to you about the previous things. Since you want to stay Li Daya for two more months, shouldn't you also talk about the money for these two months?" Say." Si Qing continued to speak while holding his small arms.

Shopkeeper Li nodded with a smile: "Indeed, in the past two months, how much do you think Miss Si should give?"

"Ten taels of silver, after all, it's not easy for you to do business." Si Qing stretched out his small hand and gestured.
