My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 384: What does spending a lot of money to arrest Mr. Jia have to do with me, Mr. Zhuang?

Immediately, Zhuang Jia showed a lewd and greedy smile: "I wonder how much money the king intends to allocate to my ministers to investigate this matter?"

The King of Chu glanced at Zhuang Jia and said, "Ten taels of gold is not enough for you to investigate for several months?"

Zhuang Jia's eyes were astonished: "Aren't these ten taels of gold a bounty from the king to my ministers?"

"This, this, this, maybe I got it wrong!"

The King of Chu looked at Zhuang Jia calmly with his eyes lowered. Zhuang Jia slowly lowered his head, and the smile and astonishment on his face became increasingly difficult to support.

It wasn't until Zhuang Jia's legs were trembling slightly that King Chu started to speak: "Zhuang Jia has made a lot of progress in recent days."

"How dare you bargain with me?"

Zhuang Jia hurriedly explained: "I don't dare!"

"I don't dare!"

"It's just that I really don't have many manpower in Chudi and my ability is low."

"I am asking for money, but I am just trying to develop more manpower for the King to use!"

The King of Chu asked in a low voice, "The manpower you develop is the dancing girls in the female clan?"

After re-assuming the identity of 'Zhuang Jia', Zhuang Jia went to Helu City to look for flowers and help countless young girls from poor backgrounds.

Even now, Zhuang Jia's body is still stained with the strong fragrance of rouge.

Many of the aid funds came from funds allocated to him by King Chu of Chu.

Now being pointed out by the King of Chu, Zhuang Jia knelt down in panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Zhuang Jia's forehead, which looked extremely bright under the candlelight.

The King of Chu suddenly laughed loudly when he was carrying his cud: "Why are you so scared, my dear?"

"I'm just joking!"

The King of Chu stood up with his crotch on his back and grabbed Zhuang Jia's arms with both hands to help him up.

Then, he was not helped up.

Zhuang Jia's legs were so shaky that he could barely stand upright.

But Zhuang Jia still forced out a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is really funny!"

When the king of Chu saw this, he laughed in his heart.

Greedy for money, lustful, unjust for profit, timid and cowardly!

I was just threatening, but this person was so panicked.

Is this the level of Qin’s candidates?

But that’s fine.

It is precisely because this person is so despicable that he could betray Qin first, then betray Young Master Qi, and finally be used by me!

King Chu of Chu was completely unwilling to come into contact with such a lowly person.

But in order to better control Zhuang Jia, King Chu Chu used his strength again, lifted Zhuang Jia to stand upright, and patted Zhuang Jia's arm hard: "I also know that it is difficult for you."

"Those ten taels of gold are just a reward given to you by me."

"In addition, I will give you another twenty thousand yuan for you to investigate this matter."

"Okay?"

Zhuang Jia nodded wildly: "Enough! Absolutely enough!"

"I will definitely use all the 20,000 yuan to buy people and place candidates, and I will never give any more copper shells to those dancing girls!"

The King of Chu held his cud and smiled warmly: "How can a man be without a beautiful woman to accompany him?"

"It's all just trivial matters."

"Since I am so kind to you, I will give you dozens of beautiful concubines, so what!"

Zhuang Jia knelt down with gratitude on his face and held his hands in his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your favor!"

"No matter where Mr. Jia is hiding, I will find Mr. Nalao Shizi even if my body is shattered to pieces."

"Let him kneel before the king and let him do whatever he wants!"

The King of Chu held his cud and smiled slightly.

I'm just being polite, why did you agree?

Fortunately, there are only dozens of beauties on the left and right, so give them as gifts.

The King of Chu smiled again with his cud in his hands, supported Zhuang Jia with both hands, and said warmly like an old friend: "You are an important minister, why do you do this?"

"Get up!"

"Don't kneel down easily!"

Zhuang Jia stood up quickly this time, nodding his head with gratitude: "Master, take your orders!"

Mr. Jia is already kneeling in front of you and at your disposal.

It was you who made Mr. Jia get up!

The mission has been completed, and I have a clear conscience in taking the reward!

The King of Chu lowered his crotch and nodded with satisfaction: "Good!"

"Wind chill at night."

"My dear, go take a shower and change your clothes quickly. Don't catch a cold."

Zhuang Jia's eyes were red and he said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

With another bow, Zhuang Jia turned around and left the hall.

When he was going out, he happened to meet Xiong Xun, who was in distress. Zhuang Jia quickly showed a flattering smile: "Xiong is in distress!"

Xiong Xun glanced at Zhuang Jia: "When doing things for the king, don't do it half-heartedly."

"Ben Zhigui has been watching you!"

Zhuang Jia quickly apologized and said, "I don't dare! I don't dare!"

"Zhuang is extremely loyal to the king!"

Xiong Xun snorted before stepping into the palace: "Your Majesty!"

After bowing his hands in a salute, Xiong Xun said in a deep voice: "Zhuang Jia was nowhere to be found between January and April this year."

"Our troops tracking him actually lost this person's location!" "Should we be more vigilant against him?"

In Xiong Xun's opinion, Zhuang Jia was definitely not as simple as he seemed if he could get rid of his men and disappear without a trace for three months.

Zhuang Jia was first a Qin spy, then worked for Xiong Qi, and now he is being used by King Chu of Chu. He has no loyalty at all.

We must be wary of people like this who are capable but not loyal!

The King of Chu held his crotch and smiled: "This man is the candidate of Qin after all."

"If such a dishonest, greedy and lustful villain has no ability, how can the State of Qin use him?"

"As for the past three months? This person went to Qin State on my order. It is normal for you to find no trace."

"The most important task of your department now is to find out the strength and strength of each tribe, and to find out who Mr. Jia is!"

"Young men like Zhuang Jia don't need to invest more people, just keep an eye on them."

In King Chu's case, Zhuang Jia's weaknesses and needs are very obvious and are not difficult to control.

And such a small person does not need him to put in more effort.

What he really needs to be prepared for is the powerful Qin who is on the sidelines, the restless nobles in the country, and Mr. Jia who is hiding somewhere and wants to subvert his power!

Xiong Xun solemnly raised his hands: "Wei!"

"After your order is reported, I will order my subordinates to collect the information."

"That water bandit's name is to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, but in fact he has been cultivated by the Zhao family for a long time."

"And this is not the only group of mountain bandits and water bandits that the Zhao family has cultivated for a long time."

"Any small or medium-sized nobles who dare to compete with the Zhao family, or if the Zhao family has a crush on that family's property or women, the Zhao family will order their mountain bandits and water bandits to massacre them."

"Four years ago, bandits attacked Xicheng and killed Xicheng County Magistrate Huang Si. It was the bandits under Zhao's command who did it!"

Bandit, but a very useful knife!

Many things that are inconvenient for the powerful can be entrusted to thieves.

Bandits kill people, powerful people seize wealth, the division of labor is clear, and everyone benefits.

Many bandits and water bandits succumbed to the coercion and inducement of the nobles and were secretly used by the nobles.

Some bandits and water bandits were even directly recruited by the nobles!

The water in the green forest of Chu Land is very deep!

The King of Chu said quietly, "It makes sense."

"If there were no moths in the court, how could our great Chu suppress the bandits for hundreds of years but never be able to wipe them all out?!"

"For the sake of profit, some people will do whatever it takes, it's disgusting!"

Xiong Xun said with a smile: "But this time, they are in a hurry."

"If the bandits from all over the country really get the Chang'an plow, they will have the confidence to survive alone without the nobles."

"Maybe even bite the master!"

"I think this time all the nobles will work together to eliminate this internal disadvantage for our great Chu!"

The King of Chu was carrying his cud but did not show a smile.

Standing up, the King of Chu walked to the bedside with his cud on his back, looked up at the moonlight outside the window, and said quietly: "Three hundred and twenty thousand troops and horses, all at your fingertips."

"These are just the troops and horses that can be used without delaying the autumn harvest of the nobles."

"If they suffer the pain of their own skin, I believe they can still provide another 320,000 soldiers and horses, or even more!"

"My people in Dachu are really strong!"

This time, the nobles sent out troops, food and generals for their own benefit, without the King of Chu having to worry about it.

This was not only a reward for the goodwill of the King of Chu, but also not a bit of a shock to the King of Chu.

How could the King of Chu bear the cud calmly?

King Chu of Chu was very generous to the nobles, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was flattering.

However, King Chu of Chu was a regicide king who ascended the throne!

How could he be a submissive, groveling person with no ambition!

Xiong Xun nervously raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

There was no reason why Xiong Xun was not nervous.

The lessons learned from the mistakes of Chu Wang Han and Chu Wang You are at hand. Xiong Xun does not want Chu Wang Han to follow in the footsteps of Chu Wang Han and Chu Wang You, let alone follow in the footsteps of Li Yuan!

The King of Chu lowered his head and smiled: "Don't worry."

"Brother Wang is so stupid that he wants to fight against such a powerful enemy."

"I don't think so."

"If I really want to be an enemy of the people of Dachu, how can I help the people block Chang'anli?"

Xiong Xun breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

But the King of Chu had a cud-bearing smile on his face, but murderous intent existed in his heart.

If the Chu State can proceed step by step according to the current plan, the strength of the Chu State's nobles will surely skyrocket.

If it only stopped there, King Chu would not say anything.

For the sake of the great Chu, King Chu was willing to suffer a little injustice.

But with the exodus of Chang'an's plows and the flight of their servants, the power of the Chu nobles will quickly decline after reaching a peak.

By then, it will no longer be possible to stop Chu’s decline!

The King of Chu did not hesitate to bear the eternal infamy to seize the throne, not just to become the king of subjugation!

Therefore, the King of Chu must not sit back and wait for death!

The King of Chu said seriously: "Of course, if we, the great Chu, send troops to suppress bandits in the country, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the country."

"With Qin's greed and bellicosity, Qin will never give up this opportunity."

The King of Chu put his cud in his hands and took out a bamboo tube from the table. He handed it to Xiong Xun solemnly with both hands: "Ai Qing, please go to the Kingdom of Zhao in person."

"Be sure to hand over the handwritten letter written by me to Zhao Wangyan, and ask Zhao Wangyan to further increase his troops to threaten Qin's border, or even directly send troops to attack Qin."

"This will give us, Dachu, an opportunity to integrate internally."

Xiong Xun looked stunned and pointed at himself: "Your Majesty?"

"I'm just waiting for death!"

Let me go get some information, I have a lot of experience.

But let me be a lobbyist?

I don't have that ability!

The King of Chu looked at Xiong Xun sincerely: "I believe in you!"

These four simple words, without even adding the title 'Aiqing', made Xiong Xun's blood boil.

Xiong Xun suddenly handed over his hand: "I am willing to die for the king!"
