Chapter 1758 Persecution
It is said that rumors spread very quickly, within two days, news about Chu Qing digging out gold from the ground reached the palace.

When the emperor heard the news, he was very puzzled, how could gold be dug out of a piece of land?Thinking of this, the emperor sent someone to thoroughly investigate the matter, and it turned out that such and such a thing really happened.

The emperor thought for a while, since gold can be dug out from this land, why not take the land as his own, firstly, it can fill the national treasury, and secondly, he is worried that this land will be used by traitors.

But the emperor is not a person who does things without measure. She thought that she should ask the person involved to ask clearly, otherwise if there is any misunderstanding at that time, wouldn't she, the emperor, lose face.

The emperor drew up an imperial decree, and was going to summon Chu Qing to ask him about the matter, but just after the decree was made, the emperor gave up again.

"Come here."

"What's your majesty's order?"

The emperor walked back and forth in the same place several times, and said: "Tell the deputy head of the Ye family that I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes."

When the Deputy Patriarch of the Ye family received the decree, he was still on the land. He sent people to dig for a long time, but no gold was found. Just as he was getting annoyed, someone came to report that someone from the palace had come to let him go back quickly.

The deputy patriarch rushed back in a hurry, and received the imperial decree, saying that His Majesty wanted to talk to him.The deputy patriarch naturally didn't dare to shirk, so he had no choice but to agree.

When he came to the palace, the deputy patriarch saw the emperor, who sat on the chair and looked at him expressionlessly.

"You are the deputy head of the Ye family?"

The deputy patriarch quickly knelt down, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I... Cao Min is indeed the deputy patriarch of the Ye family."

"Okay, let's get up and talk."

After the deputy head thanked him, he stood up and stood aside with his head bowed.

The emperor sat up straight, looked at him expressionlessly, and said, "Do you know why I came here today?"

"The grassroots don't know." The deputy patriarch bowed his head.

In fact, when the deputy patriarch knew that the emperor summoned him, he guessed that the emperor might be for that piece of land. The news that gold was dug out from that piece of land spread all over the streets and alleys.Although the emperor was in the imperial palace, it was impossible for him not to know about it, so he must be summoned suddenly because of that piece of land.

The emperor sneered and said: "I heard that the deputy head of the Ye family is wise and scheming. Can you not guess why I am looking for you?"

The deputy patriarch trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty is absurd. The grass-roots people know that they are stupid, so please show your majesty."

The emperor squinted his eyes, she didn't know that the deputy head of the Ye family was still an eloquent person, so she got up and approached him.

"I heard that the folks are very lively these days, but the reason is because of a piece of land. Deputy Patriarch, tell me, what's going on?"

The deputy patriarch showed a look of embarrassment, he had vaguely guessed what the emperor meant, and didn't want to tell the truth, but since the emperor summoned him, he must have investigated the matter clearly, if he concealed something, he would not have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

After deliberating, the deputy head of the family still told the emperor the whole story, emphasizing that the title deed was in his own hands at the moment.

Could the emperor not know the little thoughts in the heart of the deputy head of the family, she said with a serious face: "Since the gold has been dug out of this land, it will definitely cause some disasters among the people in the future, so I decided to take this land back. "

The deputy patriarch was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the land in this world has always been dominated by land deeds. Now that the land deeds are in the hands of Cao Min, is it a bit... wrong for His Majesty to do this?"

"Deputy Patriarch." The emperor suddenly called out in a deep voice, and then looked at the deputy Patriarch with a timid face, and said, "This is the land of the country. I'm taking it back now. Are you talking to me?"

The deputy patriarch shook his head again and again, and said, "No, no, Caomin means..."

"I'm not discussing with you."

The deputy patriarch looked up and saw that the emperor was looking at him with cold eyes, his heart trembled and he could only shut up.
