The lord's stunning concubine

Chapter 1624 1648 Who Holds the Universe (4)

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice's words made everyone stunned. He glanced at everyone and said: "But it was those wooden barrels that really started the fire. I heard from the Minister of Rites that when the envoys from Beimo came to Beijing to deliver the New Year's offering yesterday, They are packed in wooden barrels one person high. Those things are heavy, and they seem to be filled with real objects. But when I checked the scene today, there were still some wooden barrels that were not completely burned, except for some ashes inside. There are no other things, so I speculate that the outside of those wooden barrels may be piled with annual offerings, but the inside is empty, and it is not difficult to fit a person in such a big wooden barrel."

Lazaha was startled when he heard the words. Although he had thought earlier that those wooden barrels might burn out, he didn't expect that today the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments would find out these things, and his heart was filled with uneasiness.

He frowned and said, "Could it be someone from the Ministry of Rites who moved the contents inside! When I delivered the things, the contents were full."

"Really?" Jing Ye cast a slanted glance at Razaha and said, "So, don't I need to thank you for sending so many wooden barrels from so far away?"

At this time, Razaha had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "My lord, you are being polite. Anyway, what happened today has something to do with me. I just ask my lord to see that my country and Daye have a good relationship. My lord, don't take it too seriously." Just take this matter to heart.”

Qin Zhuimeng said angrily: "Let the prince not take this matter to heart? Do you think that millions of catties of rice are just a load of firewood? Do you just burn it? If so, please ask your country to get some One hundred thousand catties of rice come to Daye, let me burn it too!"

Lazaha took a look at Qin Zhuimeng. When he was in Beimo, he heard that Daye's right minister was a very stingy person. He valued money very much on weekdays, but he was not the kind of person who coveted wealth and honor.

Seeing that Qin Zhuimeng was full of anger at this time, he didn't talk back to Qin Zhuimeng at the moment, but raised his head slightly and said: "This matter has become like this now, it is really our fault, but it is not What Qin Xiang said is so serious..."

"Those rice must not be burned in vain." Jing Ye directly interrupted Razaha's words, expressing his position and attitude.

Razaha was stunned for a moment when he heard Jing Ye's words, and could only ask: "Then according to the prince's intention, how should we deal with this matter? I don't produce rice in Beimo, so it is really impossible to pay for it." So much rice for Daye."

"If you don't have that much rice grain, then you can pay the same amount of gold and silver." Qin Zhuimeng said sideways.

However, Jing Ye snorted coldly and said: "Rice grains seem to be worthless on weekdays, but if we don't have those rice grains, I'm afraid we will all starve to death. Besides, those rice grains are bigger than this king." How can it be easy to pay a little money to settle the matter?"

As soon as Jing Ye's attitude showed, Lazaha couldn't help but frowned. He looked at Jing Ye and said, "According to the prince's intention, is it impossible for us to pay the corresponding amount of rice? I have already apologized to the prince. ..."

Before he could say anything, Chu Yunzheng had already slapped Lazaha's face with a slap. Seeing Lazaha staring at him furiously, he said unhurriedly, "I'm sorry, I just slapped you." The stick didn't control my hand, so it couldn't help but hit the envoy, I apologize to the envoy, and please don't take it to heart."
