back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 852 Stop?

In Chang'an City, inside an inconspicuous residential house.

The decoration inside is shocking to everyone's eyes.

As soon as you enter, you will find that the interior is surprisingly spacious and exquisite. Not to mention the porches, pavilions, houses and pavilions, there are even gardens, rockery and flower ponds. It can be said that there is a cave inside!

It turns out that this folk house is not a single-entry courtyard house or a two-entry courtyard house at all, but two adjacent three-entry houses were opened up, one for the family to live in, and the other was knocked down and built into a pavilion garden. The garden is comfortable and unobtrusive, obviously a great deal of thought has been put into it.The furnishings inside are even more luxurious than those of ordinary merchants and high-ranking officials. You would never have imagined it if you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes. This is a private house.

"Master, do you think it's time to stop?"

The middle-aged man hidden in the dark of the study sneered: "Stop it? Why do you want to stop?"

"Master, if you don't stop, the emperor will find out..."

The middle-aged man made a gloomy face, and said in a cold voice: "What can he find out? All the supervisors have been replaced by my people. Don't say that the emperor doesn't know, even if he knows, that guy Xu Jingchun can do it." What good thing is coming?"

"But the emperor has already sent troops to kill the horse bandits? If... if someone follows the clues..."

"I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? The horse bandit is not one of us, so even if he is caught, what can he prove?" The middle-aged man glanced at him and said disdainfully.

"We took more than half of the money, is it really okay? What if the rebels on Luliang Mountain turn back and bite back?"

"Idiot!" The middle-aged man sneered, "If that day came, they would have died in prison long ago, and it's their turn to speak? Or they don't even have the qualifications to be sent to prison! I just need to secretly report to the emperor, Lu Liang None of the rebels on the mountain can survive! If they are smart, they will obediently cooperate with me, and they still have a chance..."

"That Fang La is a ruthless character, how could he be manipulated all his life?"

The middle-aged man laughed loudly, and said with some pride in his laughter: "He is a bereaved dog now, how dare he show his face? The situation is stronger than others, and he has no choice but to cooperate with me!" The middle-aged man was full of confidence, It seems that Fang La and Wang Shi on Luliang Mountain have already been determined.

"As for Wang Shi, he is just a scholar who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and wants to rebel? The Wang family was so powerful before, and Jinyang City was his royal family's territory. Isn't it also unable to withstand the imperial army's conquest? Now it has become a bereaved dog. Isn't it a joke to plot against me?"

"Master, be careful sailing for thousands of years!"

The middle-aged man said disdainfully: "It's okay, it's okay, they can't make any big waves. Now, what we have to keep an eye on is Jiangnan, that's our money bag in the future. As for the horse bandit, it's nothing but small change." .”

"But on the Jiangnan side, we don't have enough manpower?"

"Snapped!!!"

The middle-aged man slapped the table and got up, and said in a hateful voice: "That Xu Jingchun really thinks he is great. If I hadn't been working as a cow and a horse in the Supervision Department, he would be where he is today? Jiangnan won't let me intervene. I’ll just take care of Liao, Goryeo, and Jurchen. He eats meat, and he doesn’t even have the chance to drink soup, he’s just insane!”

The person at the table didn't dare to say anything, and said after a long time: "Master, Xu Jingchun doesn't seem to have made any money from it..."

"This is even more abominable! Guarding the cornucopia without even knowing how to lick it, what kind of watchdog is this?" The middle-aged man said through gritted teeth, "I don't ask for money, but block others from getting rich. Should a person be hacked into pieces? There is a saying that cutting off a person’s wealth is like killing his parents, Xu Jingchun, I will never die with you!”

"Master, Xu Jingchun is deeply trusted by the emperor, and he has never done anything out of the ordinary. His position is stable..."

"fart!"

Veins popped up on the middle-aged man's face: "If I hadn't wiped his ass, how many times would the emperor have moved his head? He didn't understand anything, but he was gesticulating!"

"But he has a high prestige in the Supervision Department..."

"Would I still lose to him?" The middle-aged man was furious as if someone had stepped on his tail: "He is a big soldier, what can he do besides knowing a few words? The emperor raises him, just like raising a dog." , but tied with a dog leash, and let the dog bite anyone who doesn't like it!"

"However, I have heard people say that the emperor has never wronged an official?"

The middle-aged man said coldly: "Who raised you, who raised you? Why do you keep talking for Xu Jingchun?"

The man at the bottom immediately knelt down: "I don't dare, I just think that the master should not act rashly. After all, Xu Jingchun is in the supervisory department with high morals, and he has won the trust of the emperor. If we rashly startle the snake, I'm afraid it will attract his attention. In case he tells The emperor, the emperor asked the supervisory department to investigate thoroughly, our matter..."

"What are you afraid of? I know how capable the emperor is. Maybe he can manage Dashun well, but he's not good at investigating cases!"

The person at the bottom said in his heart: "The emperor is not good at it, but he will ask someone who is good at it to check?" Who knows what this crazy person will do?Under the middle-aged man's hands, he was as fragile as an ant.

The two were silent for a long time before the middle-aged man said: "Well, you go to the south of the Yangtze River and try your best to install our people. There are so many merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. If we fail to seize this opportunity, we will never have another chance in the future." Yes. Jingdezhen, in particular, will become an important place for official kilns in the future. We have to seize the opportunity to produce some and sell them at a high price in the future! The emperor's vision is really vicious. How did he know that Jiangnan is a cornucopia?"

The person below did not dare to disobey, and retreated obediently.

After the study room was empty, the middle-aged man murmured: "The horse bandit is about to stop. The goal is too big, don't be afraid of [-]."

With a thought in his mind, he began to pour water and rub ink, and wrote a letter with a stroke of a brush.

"Come here, encrypt and expedite this letter and send it to Jinyang City!"

After finishing this matter, the middle-aged man closed his eyes, and suddenly opened them again: "Where is the hidden stake in the Supervision Department? Could it be that the little emperor raised suspicions to keep me tied? Yes. , Yes, the little emperor often said that the Supervision Department is his eyes and ears, how can he monitor his own ears? The little emperor trusts Xu Jingchun so much, he will definitely not set up hidden stakes... In this way, on the Jiangnan side, we You can let go and do it. Hmph, Xu Jingchun, your death is not far away!"
