Chapter 299 Punishment
The Star Alliance is Cheng Jinzhou's biggest support, and Zhenmi increases his value.

What King Zhao Zuxiang held in his hand was not only a seedling of real rice, but also Cheng Jinzhou's most vulnerable nerve.

His face instantly turned cold.

Cheng Jinzhou's cold face was frightening. Zhao Zuxiang slowly straightened up and said with a smile as if nothing had happened: "Jinzhou's nephew is indeed a talented person among people. De'an, a small county town, has now become a popular tourist attraction." In the capital city, the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is really good governance."

"It can't be called Dadu. But what is Mr. Zhao doing here? Your Excellency will pull out the new seedlings, which is destroying people's property. You are rich and powerful, but the generation of ordinary people depends on it for a living." Cheng Jinzhou said Words, definitely push the nose on the face.Let alone in the Great Xia where Confucianism prevails, even in other countries, it would be quite impolite to make such an excuse.

Putting it on a sensitive nobleman, just Cheng Jinzhou's practice of not calling him "junwang" and calling him "adult" can make people explode.

But Zhao Zuxiang didn't dare to attack.

Although he is a majestic county king, when he goes out, in addition to a dozen knights, there is only one star warlock apprentice following him. How can he dare to speak harshly to Cheng Jinzhou? Everyone knows that the 15-year-old boy in front of him has been there more than once , directly slashed people with a knife.That was something that many nobles who had been on the battlefield had never done.

He did invite a few low-level star warlocks to stay in the county palace uninterruptedly, but they just want to be comfortable and stable, and what they pursue is "more money, less work, and less distance from home", so how could they go out with the county king as bodyguards? .

In view of this, Zhao Zuxiang raised his head and gave way to Cheng Jinzhou who was on the horse: "What Mr. Cheng said is that I will pay a lot of money for compensation."
As Zhao Zuxiang's majestic county king, his posture can be said to be low.

According to the checks and balances and requirements of the Astromancer Association, there should be a relationship between senior civil servants and astromancers.In the face of astrologists, the so-called "nobility" of senior civil servants will not change much.

However, the failure to hire a third-level star warlock to assassinate Cheng Jinzhou a few days ago made Zhao Zuxiang feel half shorter, not because of guilt, but because of the words of that star warlock.

A third-level star warlock with bad conduct can get a lot of money as long as he takes action, regardless of whether he succeeds or not.However, facing Cheng Jinzhou, he didn't even dare to show off.

Zhao Zuxiang was shocked by the judgment of the astrologists on Cheng Jinzhou's power.

Cheng Jinzhou looked at Zhao Zuxiang suspiciously, to judge whether he had discovered Zhenmi's secret.

Yisu's body slowly emerged, and said, "This is the king of Nanling County, right?"

Cheng Jinzhou turned his head, and his lips moved slightly: "What?"

"Do you still remember how the warlock Cao Fengxing introduced you to the source of the seeds when you met Zhenmi for the first time?" Yisu's memory far exceeded Cheng Jinzhou's imagination.

Xiao Cheng thought for a long time, but said without finding anything: "I just remember that it was discovered in the southwest."

"Who found it?"

Cheng Jinzhou's face changed, although he had no impression, he guessed: "Could it be the king of Nanling County?"

Yisu nodded his head in the void, and said, "If I remember correctly, he paid the tribute to your Emperor."

Cheng Jinzhou's face became colder and colder.

In this case, Prince Nanling might have recognized that what was grown on the ground was not ordinary food.

Of course, there is also a certain possibility that the nobles, who don't distinguish between grains, presented a mysterious but distinctive plant to the emperor, and then they can't remember it anymore.

But no matter what the situation is, judging by the posture of the King of Nanling County, doubts are certain.After all, no one would plant 20 mu of waste products. If there is enough curiosity, the Lord King of the County may hand over the plants in his hand to some familiar star warlocks for identification.

Cheng Jinzhou's face had already turned from red to white and then to blue. The king of Nanling County was terrified by seeing it, so he did not back down.

Liu Qingshuang didn't know the situation very well, but she also knew that Cheng Jinzhou valued this farmland very much.Seeing the formation of Prince Nanling's men naturally dispersing, she also put her hands behind her back and secretly typed two code words.

The knights of the Cheng family have always been paid by their mistress. When several people saw the secret message, they immediately moved their horses lightly and moved to the side and rear intentionally or unintentionally. In this way, if something happened, they could be in front of them as soon as possible.They are all covered in armor and are not afraid of swords and arrows.

A small leader of the knights quietly greeted the astromancer behind him, asking him to pay attention.At such a close distance, the star warlock may not necessarily take advantage. The myth of the knight killing the star warlock has never happened.

Cheng Jinzhou had a sullen face, thinking about how to deal with the problem at hand.

Killing on the spot is the most direct solution, but it is also something that cannot be explained clearly.The gentlemen of Daxia will not send a mysterious police detective to De’an or Shaonan to investigate. They only need to know: the king of Nanling County has arrived on the land of Cheng Jinzhou; Cheng Jinzhou went to his own land at the same time; the king of Nanling County died - Then the conclusion is that Cheng Jinzhou must have killed him.

Although there may not be any logical relationship, there is an inherent connection.

The more Cheng Jinzhou remained silent, the more tense the atmosphere became.

Zhao Zuxiang only felt bitter at the back of his tongue and complained in his heart: 20 acres of land happened to come together. It was really unlucky.

"We are guests from afar, come here, please get off your horses and rest, Master Zhao too." As soon as Cheng Jinzhou finished speaking, the knights under him rushed up viciously. I was so scared that I couldn't move.

"Don't move." Zhao Zuxiang quickly reached out to stop the knight who drew his sword.Unless Cheng Jinzhou and the astromancer behind him were killed by surprise, there was no point in resisting.

"All sit down."

The knights pressed the unarmed soldiers to the ground, forming a circle back to back.

"He is the king of the imperial court." Liu Qingshuang reminded softly behind him.

"If you want him to mention Zhenmi in the future, I will hate it." Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand and said, "Shimo, go to the city and call all the officials, nobles and country gentry. Those in Shaonan and Nanling are also called come over."

"Nephew Jinzhou, why bother?" Zhao Zuxiang's eyelids twitched, knowing that he was not good.

Shi Mo Diandian ran to recruit people, estimated the time, and waited for people to gather. He was afraid that it would be evening.

Cheng Jinzhou jumped off his horse, approached Zhao Zuxiang, and said, "Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense for a while."

After all, he just sat under a nearby tree and waited for the crowd to gather.

Liu Qingshuang took the mat from the accompanying horses and spread it in the shade. She then pulled Cheng Jinzhou to sit down and said, "What do you want to explain to us all?"

Cheng Jinzhou curled his lips, glanced at Zhao Zuxiang who was forced to sit in the crowd, and said: "I want Zhao Zuxiang to be ashamed to speak about this land, what happened today, and real rice in the future. Let people think that what he said Everything you say is made up to cover up."

"Hide what?"

"You'll know it just by looking at it." Cheng Jinzhou had an evil smile on his face, learning from all horror cartoons, such as The Smurfs, Tom and Jerry, and Sheriff Black Cat.

For about three or four hours, the nobles who could ride horses had gathered together, staring blankly at the king of Nanling County surrounded by them.

Zhao Zuxiang felt a rush of blood rushing to his head, and his whole face turned red.

He has been the boss of Southwest China for 20 years and the focus of banquets for 20 years. He has never worried about too many people paying attention to him.But now, those curious glances made him very uncomfortable.

The more uncomfortable ones are yet to come.

I saw Cheng Jinzhou flying up slowly, stopped at a place 20 meters above the ground, and then shouted loudly: "Agriculture is the foundation of a country. I am a martyr, in order to let the people live and work in peace and contentment; Reclaiming this land, countless people have shed their sweat..."

Everyone looked at him excitedly, not understanding what he was talking about.

Cheng Jinzhou was still excited: "It was noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat was dripping from the soil. Our people have paid so much to plant this land. But today, someone actually wants to destroy it."

He softened his tone and said, "Your Majesty, please show everyone what you have done."

Everyone's attention immediately turned to Prince Nanling.

Zhao Zuxiang was so ashamed and indignant that he stabbed the seedling that was forcefully stuffed into his hand on the ground.I thought to myself: I see what you want to do.

He maintained his status as the county king and comforted himself that no matter what status Cheng Jinzhou was, he had no jurisdiction over him.

Subconsciously, he forgot about Cheng Jinzhou and there was no need to play according to the rules.

Today's Cheng Jinzhou in the southwest can not only walk sideways, but also can stipulate that everyone walks sideways, runs on odd numbers, and jumps on even numbers—he is the Development and Reform Commission of Daxia, the urban management of Southwest, and the guards of the detention center, so what rules do they need to follow? law.

Standing at a height of 20 meters, Cheng Jinzhou said in a positive tone: "Xu Guinian, tell me, what is the crime of destroying young crops privately?"

If Cheng Jinzhou had just arrived, Xu Guinian might have thought of some magic method to avoid crime, but now he said without hesitation: "Crime is a crime."

Exile is exile, a government-funded torture tourism program.The quality of their yamen servants is even lower than that of wild tour guides, and they often do not prepare return plans.

"Xu Guinian, you are brave." Some people have jumped out impatiently. Some are optimistic about Cheng Jinzhou, and some are optimistic about the prince, or they have to belong to the camp of the Nanling prince.

A group of people suddenly gasped.

The king of Nanling County has dominated the Southwest for a long time. How could they have imagined that 15-year-old Cheng Jinzhou would challenge him without hesitation.And it's a condescending challenge.

"There is nothing bold or not. The prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people." Cheng Jinzhou argued, and then said: "For the sake of the nobles, come here and hit 40 big boards."

The four yamen servants who had been prepared a long time ago shouted: "Mighty!"

"Master Cheng!" More people shouted.

Cheng Jinzhou ignored it, and the historical stories from childhood taught him that the Chinese-style world will never be short of eloquent young and old people.In the era when the monarchy was the first, the emperor was sometimes argued by literati, and he didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

Force is decisive, even the Zhao family's own people can't turn the situation around.

The four government officials rushed forward with slightly trembling hands and feet, pushed down the Nanling County Prince who had given up his struggle, took off his pants, and started beating him hard.

"One time, two times, three times..."

Cheng Jinzhou shrugged and slowly floated back to the shade of the tree.

Liu Qingshuang hurriedly covered her eyes and whispered: "He is the Prince of Nanling County."

In her impression, Prince Nanling was still a very high-end noble.

This is true in everyone's eyes.

The nobles in the southwest had been bathed in the power of Prince Nanling for a long time. Even when they heard Cheng Jinzhou's order, they couldn't believe it until Zhao Zuxiang exposed his snow-white hairy buttocks and groaned under the long stick.

"In this way, anything he said to Zhenmi will be interpreted by people as slander." Cheng Jinzhou said, and then told Song Heng who was not far away: "Mr. De'an City is recuperating from injuries, before the injury recovers, don't let too many people see it, it's embarrassing."

"Can the Zhao family see him?" Song Heng asked deliberately.

"If they pay the fine." Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows and whispered: "The county magistrate who broke the family and the governor who killed the family. Consider him lucky."
