Late at night.
The Yingtian Prefecture that was enveloped by the great curtain no longer had the hustle and bustle of the day.
On the other hand, the Duke of Korea's Public House was brightly lit and lively.
Li Shan Chang, Hu Wei Yong, Fu You De, Feng Sheng, Geng Bing Wen, Zhu Liang Zu, Zhou De Xing, and the other Huaixi dignitaries all had ugly expressions on their faces.
Occasionally, quarrels would erupt and they would not stop.
"Are they treating us Huaixi people like donkeys?”
"You put in the most effort, do the most work, and get the least money. Now, you even have to pay taxes on that piece of broken land?”
"And it's even more than the farmers!”
"What are you trying to do? They want us brothers to die! You're not even giving me anything for my retirement?!”
Zhu Liangzu's saliva flew all over the sky as he cursed.
"Keep your voice down. What problem can you solve by shouting?”
"You only have such a small piece of land. Why are you barking? I don't even know what to do with my family's hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land!”
"If you have the ability, go and shout at your superiors. Don't be arrogant in this nest!”
Faced with Zhou Dexing's sarcasm, Zhu Liangzu was furious and said,"
"Who the f * ck did you say was unreasonable?"
"I dare you to say it again!”
"I was talking about you!"
"You don't have much ability, but you have a bad temper. Do you really think this is your own home?”
"I don't know what you're so arrogant about!"
"Come, come, come. I'll let you know now what I'm crazy about!”
“......”
"Enough! Are you done?"
Just as the two of them were at loggerheads and could not stop.
Li Shan Chang, who was sitting at the head of the table, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He berated,
"What do you all want?"
"Isn't it the opposite?"
"I haven't even done anything to you guys, and you're already in a mess?!”
Thump!
The Dragon Head Staff in Lee Shan Chang's hand slammed onto the table.
"If you want to fight or quarrel, go out and make a scene. Don't let my residence be stained with blood!”
"If anything happens in the future, don't blame us for not remembering our old friendship.”
"Go, all of you go!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The whole place was silent, and the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
Even the two people who quarreled the most had retreated to a corner.
She tilted her head and squinted her eyes. Although she was not convinced, she shut her mouth.
After all, the real leader of Huaixi Xun was still Li Shan Chang.
Even if he did not have any real power in his hands, his influence could not be underestimated.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Lee Shan Chang said,"
"It's not like the sky is falling. Do you have to do this?”
"Great Ming's surname is indeed Zhu, but the imperial court's surname is not Zhu. It's never something that can be done just because of an imperial edict!”
Pausing for a moment, Lee Shan Chang continued,
"I understand how you feel. You've fought the world with your heads held high, and in the end, you've only obtained this little thing. In the end, you still have to be taken away.”
"This old master knows that you've suffered, but isn't this old master the same?”
"But don't be anxious. There's still a turning point.”
"First of all, we can't mess up our own people!”
"If we start an internal conflict at this time, those guys from eastern Zhejiang will laugh their heads off. Wouldn't they trample us to death?”
"Think about it yourself. Is that true?”
After Lee Shan Chang's reassurance, everyone's emotions eased up quite a bit, and they were no longer as irritable as before.
"Then you should think of a way for us brothers!”
"You're the most respected here. Give us an idea and we'll listen to you!”
"That's right! We can't just sit and wait for death! The coffin is gone, isn't that not giving us a way out?”
"Which of us old brothers doesn't have tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland? From now on, not only will the officials not be exempted from taxes, but they will also ask for heavy taxes to be paid.”
“......”
Thump!
Lee Shan Chang knocked the Dragon Head Staff again, interrupting everyone's indignance. He sighed and said,"
"Now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore.”
"Recently, the reason why the higher-ups have been acting abnormally is actually because there are evil people causing trouble!”
As soon as he said this, an uproar broke out.
Everyone's eyes were wide open, and their killing intent rose involuntarily. The cracking sounds of their joints rose and fell.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, Lee Shan Chang gave Hu Weiyong a look. The latter immediately understood and took the initiative to say,
"I'm sure everyone has long heard of the news of His Highness the King of Yan being imprisoned. It's also because of this imprisonment that His Highness and the throne were bewitched by a traitor!”
"Including my benefactor's misfortune, his resignation from the position of the Left Deputy of the Hall of Governmental Affairs, and the abolition of taxes for officials and gentry today, all of this is related to that death row prisoner!”
" His name is Su Bai!!"
Su Bai?
Everyone looked at each other when they heard that. They emptied their heads, but they still could not remember when such a figure had appeared in the Yingtian Prefecture.
He had toppled Li Shan Chang, who had power in the court, and had also dealt a heavy blow to the Huaixi Xungui Group. He even dared to make enemies of all the scholars.
Even Liu Bowen at his peak didn't have such great ability, right?
Su Bai?
Who was it!
Soon, someone reacted first.
"Minister Hu, you mean that Su Bai is from Liu Ji's side?”
Currently, the only people on death row were people from Yang Xian's family, and Yang Xian was Liu Bowen's student. He had once caused Huaixi Group to suffer heavy losses and suffered a lot.
And now there was Su Bai, who was also from Eastern Zhejiang!
"Not bad! Su Bai is Liu Ji's man!"
Hu Weiyong sneered.
"A few days ago, because of that Su Bai, my benefactor and Liu Ji had a big fight in front of the higher-ups. However, the higher-ups wanted to cover up for him, so they could only let it go!”
His words stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone gritted their teeth in hatred.
"Hehe, this is really a centipede that doesn't die. He's already in the imperial prison, but he can still stir up trouble!”
"Liu Ji, ah, Liu Ji, we still underestimated him in the end. We thought that he had admitted defeat, but we didn't expect him to suddenly give us a vicious wave!”
"How smart are we to get to the top? He was actually easily bewitched by a prisoner on death row. If this person was not eliminated, there would definitely be a great disaster!”
"Yes, that's right! Since His Majesty has the intention to protect him, it means that there is a possibility of pardoning him. We must make plans early!”
“......”
Seeing that the flames of war had successfully reached Su Bai, the internal conflict in Huaixi was easily solved.
Hu Weiyong and Li Shan Chang looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
"Please calm down. This matter needs to be discussed at length.”
"Moreover, the Prince of Yan is there. It's not the best choice to make a move now.”
Hu Weiyong's eyes were filled with viciousness as he said coldly,"
"What we need to do now is to wait for him to come out!”
"Only when he comes out and is separated from the Prince of Yan will we have a chance to make a move!!”
"And don't forget, Su Bai bewitched the government to abolish the tax exemption. He's going against all the scholars in the world!”
As he spoke, Hu Weiyong slammed the table and stood up. He said loudly,
"And we Huaixi people dare to be the first!”
"If a treacherous official is difficult to control, I swear to clear the side of the monarch with my death!!”
Everyone's enthusiasm instantly soared when they heard that.
Deafening cries of battle instantly resounded throughout the entire High Duke's Public House.
Seeing this.
Lee Shan Chang stroked his white beard and revealed a thought-provoking smile.
Su Bai?
Liu Ji?
A companion on the road to the netherworld!
Just when Su Bai became the public enemy of Huaixi and all the generals wanted to kill him.
Zhu Yuanzhang came to the secret chamber of Zhao Prison alone.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard the conversation coming from the loudspeaker.
"Mr. Su, to be honest, have you ever considered becoming an official in the court?”
"No, even dogs shake their heads when they see the officials of the Zhu family.”
Zhu Yuanzhang: "???"
