Chapter 417 (2/2)
”Ridiculous!” The emperor denounced.
Wei Zhong quickly pleaded guilty.
The emperor said angrily: ”the construction site outside the south gate has been closed down, and the refugees have no income. It is the time for the masses to be excited and ignite at one point. Are you going to arrest people at this time to stir up a civil commotion? ”
”I am stupid. Thanks to your Majesty's advice, I almost made a big mistake. ”
When Wei Zhong pleaded guilty, he did not forget to flatter and coax the emperor into comfort.
No wonder he can be the first running dog around the emperor, and he has some ability to be an official.
The emperor snorted, and his expression was more gentle than before.
”You are good at arresting people and investigating cases, but when it comes to guessing people's will, you still have to learn more.”
”I will obey your Majesty's instructions. Is it necessary to continue to investigate the case of refugees attacking the Earl's house? ”
The emperor left the investigation report heavily on the desk, ”no one has identified it, and there is no real evidence. What should we check? Are you, Kim Wu Wei, very idle? ”
Wei Zhong laughed in his heart and was frightened on his face. After all, it's the Earl's house. I'm worried that chengenbo is dissatisfied with the investigation and will report to his majesty. ”
The emperor's face darkened, ”I will give him a chance to defend himself today. I also want to hear what he has to say
……
Gu Jiu refused to be accompanied by Liu Zhao, and went to Xingqing palace alone with his internal servant. No accident, he met with Cheng en Bo Zhu CI.
Gu Jiuchong laughed at him and gave him a salute, ”I've met my uncle. How are you doing
Thanks to Uncle Zhu, he did not pay attention to her.
Gu Jiu was wronged and said to the inner servant, ”uncle is an elder, I don't care.”
When Zhu CI heard this, he was furious, ”Gu Jiu, what do you think is your intention to encourage the refugees to attack the count's house? I'll see you later, your majesty. I'll take a copy of it. ”Gu Jiu blinked, ”uncle, you can eat rice at random, but you can't talk nonsense. I advise you to take it back as soon as possible. ”
”No way!”
”No noise!”
Shen Changshi came out and said, ”uncle, madam Zhao, please come in. Your majesty is inside. Be careful and don't yell
Gu Jiufu blessed the body, ”thank you for reminding me.”
She was polite and polite to everyone.
”Uncle, please.” Gu Jiu said with a smile to Chengen.
Cheng en Bo snorted coldly and took the lead in entering the hall. Gu Jiu followed.
Shen Changshi was amused and thought that chengenbao would lose this game.
He told xiaohuangmen, ”after a while, thank you for coming out, and remember to return the money to him.”
Xiaohuangmen was surprised.
Shen Changshi smiles and doesn't explain.
……
Inside the main hall.
Gu Jiu bowed to salute.
She has a big stomach, which is not so convenient.
The emperor saw her hard work, so he said, ”give the imperial concubine a seat.”
”Thank you, your majesty.”
As the son of heaven's brother-in-law, cheng'en-bo was naturally given a seat.
But he was very excited, ”Your Majesty, I have something to report.”
”Say it The emperor is concise and comprehensive.
Cheng en said in a voice, ”Your Majesty, the imperial concubine instigated the refugees to attack the count's house. This is clearly a rebellion. Your majesty, please order a strict investigation into this matter and punish the death penalty of Madame Zhao! ”
The emperor's face was gloomy and cold. He glanced at Gu Jiu and said, ”Gu Jiu, you hear me. Chengenbao said you rebelled, do you want to explain? ”
Gu Jiu bowed and nodded, ”sun's daughter-in-law wants to explain. Uncle, you have been accusing me of instigating the refugees to attack the count's house. Can I have a witness? Do you have physical evidence? ”
Chengenber was very excited, ”it's not you who did it? Only you can do such a crazy thing. You are clearly taking private revenge. If you don't resent my husband's suppressing you, you will take such a crazy behavior. Gu Jiu, are you still not guilty? ”
Gu Jiu sneered, ”what crime do you admit? What's wrong with me? Uncle opened his mouth and said that I was guilty. He could not bring out human evidence or material evidence, and forced me to confess. Are you the law of the great Zhou Dynasty or the golden words?
Whoever you say is guilty will be guilty. You are more powerful than the law of Dazhou. According to the law of the Zhou Dynasty, who was found guilty? At least, he paid attention to the identification of material evidence. As for you, with your mouth open, your iron mouth will be broken
”You, you, you...”
Cheng en Bo was very angry and pointed to Gu Jiu. His brain turned quickly and desperately wanted Gu Jiu's handle.
But unexpectedly, Gu Jiu takes the lead, ”Your Majesty, the granddaughter-in-law wants to sue the Zhu family of Chengen's uncle's house. Zhu's tax evasion is huge, involving millions of liang of tax losses. Your majesty, please check it out. ”
”You are presumptuous Cheng en Bo was shocked.
”Shut up The emperor pointed to Cheng en Bo and denounced him.
Thanks to Uncle Zhu, he was scared and pale.
As soon as the emperor heard about the loss of millions of taels of tax, he turned pale.
What does the emperor hate most?
I hate someone digging the corner of the wall.
Tax dodgers are the most hateful in the eyes of the emperor.
Because of the huge resistance of the court, it is not easy to reform the tax system.
But it doesn't mean that someone reports tax evasion, and the emperor will sit by and ignore it.
”Gu Jiu, do you think the Zhu family evades taxes and taxes? Is there any evidence?”
Gu Jiu definitely said, ”yes! Your majesty can pass on the tax Cao of Hubu, and Lord Xu, the left guard of Xiuyi guard, go to the palace. A few days ago, the two sides jointly conducted tax inspection, and all the accounting books were in their hands. ”
The emperor's face was dark, ”the tax Cao of the Ministry of household, Xu Xianzhi's entry into the palace.”
Chen Dachang had to make an order. He quickly explained it.
Cheng en Bo Zhu CI flustered, ”Your Majesty, I also want to report Gu Jiu for tax evasion and tax evasion.”
Gu Jiuchao looked at him with pity in his eyes, ”uncle, don't you know? All the industries under my name have been paying taxes since the first day of opening. The Hubu tax Cao has a detailed tax list. Didn't you hear that? ”
”No way!” He shook his head again and again.
Gu Jiu sneered and said, ”thanks to master Tober, because of your malicious suppression, the industrial tax payment under my name is expected to be reduced by half this month. Tax Cao should hate you to death. ”
Zhu Ci's face changed dramatically.
Gu Jiu suddenly raised his voice, ”Your Majesty, sun's daughter-in-law has something to say.”
”Say it
Gu Jiulang Sheng said: ”chengenbo deliberately destroyed the project outside the south gate, deliberately raised the market price and disturbed the market. As a result, the construction site outside the south gate was suspended.
Thousands of young and strong refugees had no work to do, thousands of families were forced to cut off their livelihood, and tens of thousands of refugees were in cold and hunger. In the long run, tens of thousands of refugees are afraid to kill officials and rebel against the capital, which will bring immeasurable damage to the whole capital.
Chengenbo was aware of the serious consequences of this, but he was still relying on his financial resources. Sun's daughter-in-law saw that he was determined to force against those refugees outside the city. He is a wolf with ambition. He can not only kill himself for money, but also betray the imperial court, Zhou and his majesty. ”As soon as the voice falls, the atmosphere in the hall is tense and may break at any time.
Chen Dachang carefully observed the emperor's reaction.
The emperor is obviously on the verge of rage.
Cheng'en-bo's face turned pale, and he pointed to Gu Jiu's nose and scolded, ”you're bloody. I have no injustice or hatred with you. Why do you want to hurt me? ”
Gu Jiu sneered and said softly, ”uncle, are you sure you have no injustice or hatred with me? I would like to remind you that my uncle himself admitted that he suppressed me. How could he not admit it in a twinkling of an eye?
The jewelry shop, medicine shop, grain shop, cloth shop and construction site under my name are out of stock. The guys have nothing to do and lose thousands of taels every day. It's also called no injustice or hatred?
Do you have to wait for my uncle to take my property and kill me? I'm sorry, I'm not a little angry daughter-in-law. I won't be beaten on my left face, but I'll take the initiative to get beaten on the right face. Let uncle down
”Your Majesty, there is only an ordinary commercial competition between Wei Chen and Madame Zhao, not what she said. Your majesty, do not listen to him
Cheng en Bo knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.
He's smart, too.
If you want to lose, change your strategy decisively and start to pretend to be old, weak, sick and disabled.
It is human nature to admire the strong and pity the weak.
The weak side, of course, has more people's support and sympathy.
It's just that they're facing the son of heaven?
Is this sure to work?
