My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Helv City.

Here we have witnessed King Helu of Wu destroying Chu but being defeated by Yue, and King Wu Fu Chai defeating Yue to avenge his father but finally perishing at Yue.

As the last capital city built by the Wu Kingdom when it was at its peak, it has witnessed the peak of the Wu Kingdom and has also fallen into decline due to the demise of the Wu Kingdom, covered with the frost of time.

The King of Chu decided to establish the capital in Shouchun, the original land of Chunshenjun, and changed the title of Chunshenjun to Wu, which brought the possibility of revival to the city.

Chun Shenjun's sudden death put an end to Helu City's revival.

Fortunately, Chun Shenjun's repairs and transformations for this big city were not in vain, and he lived up to his reputation as the first patron of the capital.

After more than two hundred years, this city was finally chosen as the capital again!

The construction site that had been stopped started again, and more than 100,000 people were recruited from all directions, carrying basket after basket of soil, and endlessly consolidating the city wall.

A nobleman with money and power moved into this city, which caused the city's gold content to rise suddenly.

The pyrotechnics brought by the interweaving flow of people continue to squeeze and condense the cold air accumulated over more than 200 years.

Then all of them were poured into the original Chunshenjun Mansion and the current Helu Palace!

In the main hall, all the kings and ministers of the Chu Kingdom looked towards the middle of the main hall with serious faces.

There, a pair of Chang'an plows still stained with mud lay peacefully, several baskets of the core iron components of the Chang'an plows were placed aside, and a middle-aged man in short clothes knelt on the ground, shivering.

The King of Chu asked in a cold voice, "You said this was given to you by someone else?"

The middle-aged man shuddered subconsciously and looked at Zhaocen.

Zhaocen scolded without hesitation: "Look what I did!"

"When the king asks questions, answer them truthfully!"

"If you answer honestly, the king will definitely reward you generously."

"But what if you dare to deceive me at all?"

"The three tribes of you are not protected!"

The middle-aged man became even more panicked and kept saying, "I don't dare, I don't dare!"

"How dare a villain deceive the king even a little bit!"

"This thing was indeed given to the villain by someone else!"

"Before that person brought this thing, the villain had no idea that there was such a divine thing in the world."

"After getting this thing, the villain immediately wanted to dedicate it to the king!"

Although the middle-aged man was scared to death, he still smiled flatteringly and said: "In the whole world, only the king is worthy of enjoying such a treasure!"

But what the King of Chu wanted was not just a Changan plow!

The King of Chu immediately asked, "Who is the person who gave you this gift?"

The middle-aged man quickly replied: "It's Mr. Jia!"

The King of Chu carried the cud and continued to ask: "Who is Mr. Jia?!"

The middle-aged man replied while recalling: "Mr. Jia is Mr. Jia."

"He has a mole at the corner of his mouth, and he also..."

Thinking back carefully, the middle-aged man found it difficult to describe what kind of person Mr. Jia was.

He is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and his accent is standard Shouchun Chu dialect. It is difficult to judge his place of origin based on this, and he has no special features except for the mole.

The middle-aged man can only say: "He is an ordinary person."

"This person came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He didn't stay for a long time, and the villain didn't find out where he was from or who he worked for."

"He just ordered the villain to rob a fleet, and told the villain not to hurt the lives of sailors, and not to rob more than one ship."

"These iron tools were stolen from that ship."

King Chu's eyes lit up as he crouched his cud.

The clue is coming!

The king of Chu held the cud in his hands and shouted: "Check!"

"Follow this fleet and investigate thoroughly!"

"We must find out who is shaking the foundation of our great Chu country!"

Zhaocen looked at King Chu holding the cud with complicated eyes, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty."

"After hearing this person's report, I escorted this person into the palace and asked people to investigate."

"That fleet has no cover, so I have gained a little."

The King of Chu smiled and nodded: "Ai Qing is indeed a man's arm."

"Have you ever found out who is responsible for this?"

Zhaocen looked at King Chu of Chu with an increasingly complicated look: "The master of this fleet is Young Master Qi."

"This voyage is from Qin to sell Qin's fine horses to Wang Shangzhong's uncle and merchant Zhong."

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhaocen brought his water bandits to see King Chu of Chu.

Is the property that the King of Chu owes Uncle Chu Zhong really his own property?

Zhaocen and others knew very well that Chu King Fu Chu's uncle Zhong had been his white glove since King Chu Fu Chu had not yet ascended the throne. He helped him earn money for him to lobby all parties, and also made Chu King Fu Chu suffer a lot. Stained with the smell of copper.

So to a certain extent, this is a deal between Xiong Qi and King Chu of Chu!

Zhaocen was not qualified to investigate further and could only report it.

Zhaocen needs an explanation!

When the entry of Chang'an plow has been ordered to be blocked, why are there so many Chang'an plow parts on the cargo ship delivering goods to you?

Why are these accessories not loaded uniformly but five hundred pairs hidden on each ship?

Why does that ‘Mr. Jia’ know so much about this?

Zhaocen, Jingchou and other noble leaders all watched the King of Chu carrying the cud with solemn eyes.

We risked the Yi clan to help you kill Chu King Han and support you to ascend the throne, not to let you stab us in the back!

Looking into the eyes of Zhaocen and others, King Chu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave with his cud!

King Chu of Chu, who had led a regicide to seize the throne, knew very well how far these nobles would go to protect their own interests.

They can blatantly kill Chu King Han for profit, and they can also blatantly kill Chu King Lingcu for profit!

With his mind racing, King Chu decisively cut off the topic, pointed the finger at 'Mr. Jia' again and asked: "What did that man ask for when he gave the Chang'an plow to you and others?"

The middle-aged man's eyes flickered, and he said with a puzzled expression: "When Mr. Jia sent the Chang'an plow, many people were asking him what exactly he wanted."

"This item is really important to the water bandits. They will get it at all costs!"

"But Mr. Jia's request is just for the water bandits to live well."

The kings and ministers of Chu State felt extremely absurd.

Live well?

What a request!

Jingchou angrily scolded: "How dare you, a humble commoner, to deceive you!"

The middle-aged man trembled all over, and his lower clothes were stained with moisture. He said in a trembling voice: "No, I don't dare!"

"Mr. Jia's current request for the water bandits is just to survive, so that the water bandits can continue to thrive and grow."

"But Mr. Jia's words are full of dissatisfaction with the powerful."

"The villain thinks that Mr. Jia may be intending to let the water bandits accumulate manpower so that they can join Mr. Jia in causing rebellion in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became a little colder.

There is an anti-Chu force in the territory of Da Chu, and this force is actually colluding with bandits and water bandits from all sides with the intention of causing chaos!

The king of Chu slapped the case with his cud in his hands and shouted angrily: "Thief!"

"What this person seeks is not small profits, but to cause chaos for our country!"

"My dear friends, do you have any good ideas to help me?"

Zhaocen was the first to hand over: "Now we don't know much about those thieves."

"I advise the king to thoroughly investigate and torture the merchant Zhong!"

Shang Jia Zhong, also known as Zhao Zhong, was the second uncle of King Chu of Chu.

Zhaocen felt very uneasy about interrogating King Chu's second uncle who was carrying cud.

But King Chu of Chu said without hesitation: "As your order Yin said, it should be investigated thoroughly."

"Pass the widow's order!"

"Everyone who is related to this case, regardless of their identity or dignity, will be put into prison and interrogated strictly, including my uncle Zhong!"

"Zhao Yin." King Chu said solemnly, "I will leave this matter to you."

"Even in this palace, you can enter and investigate!"

I have done nothing wrong, and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door.

King Chu Chu knew very well that this matter had nothing to do with him, and Zhao Zhong would not go behind his back to do such a big thing.

So, feel free to look it up!

Zhaocen looked at the King of Chu in disbelief. Did he really let his ministers investigate?

Even if you have a clear conscience, don’t you care about the majesty of the king?

But looking at the King of Chu's firm gaze, Zhaocen, after hesitating for a long time, still held up his hands and said, "Wei!"

The King of Chu held his cud and showed a gentle smile: "Thank you for your hard work."

"This matter involves Young Master Qi who is in Qin State, and it is very relevant."

"Let Qu Dazai help Ling Yin to deal with the diplomatic issues that arise because of this."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Jingchou and other noble leaders changed.

The person who can use that fleet to do things is not only King Chu Chu, but also Xiong Qi!

In terms of operability, Xiong Qi, as the shipper, has more room to commit crimes.

In terms of motivation, doesn’t Xiong Qi want to be the King of Chu? he thinks! This is the most sufficient motivation!

King Chu's words led the powerful people to another person who was not here and unable to defend himself, Xiong Qi!

Seeing that the ministers were in deep thought, King Chu relaxed a little, but instead of letting the ministers think, he immediately moved on to the next topic: "A thorough investigation will take time."

"Especially for the young master Qi involved, it will take months to get the results."

"But a few months are enough for all the water bandits in our Dachu territory to obtain Chang'an plows."

"And this Chang'an plow is not difficult to forge. As long as the water bandits can find the help of craftsmen, they can get countless Chang'an plows and sell them to Guizhou heads and common people!"

When you find a cockroach in your house, it means there is already a nest of cockroaches in the house.

In the same way, when the King of Chu discovered a pair of Chang'an plows in Chu State, it meant that there were already a large number of Chang'an plows in Chu State!

What’s even more frightening than this is that the difficulty of the Changan plow is not in the materials and craftsmanship, but in the design and structure.

When a Chang'an plow falls into the hands of water bandits, the Chang'an plow is no longer a secret. Once the water bandits combine with the craftsmen, the Chang'an plow will sweep the entire Chu country like a virus!

By then, perhaps the big families such as Qu, Jing, Zhao and others were still not using the Chang'an plow for blockade technology. Instead, it was the small landowners and water bandits who used the Chang'an plow first.

It’s okay if I sanction myself!

The most terrifying thing is that when workers and farmers unite, workers forge Chang'an plows for farmers to use, and farmers give their surplus grain to workers to chew, they will be surprised to find that the life away from the powerful and the court can be so enjoyable!

This will not only make it more difficult to exterminate the bandits, but will also make more and more child servants unwilling to be exploited and yearn to escape into the child servant army.

This is tantamount to a devastating blow to the nobles!

The King of Chu stood up with his crotch on his back and looked at all the courtiers sincerely: "If this is the case, the country will be in chaos!"

"Why do you, my beloved ministers, teach me this?!"
