After binding the tens of billions of material systems, he became rich in ancient times

Chapter 136 Northwest Famine
"You are the head of the Li family?" The emperor looked at the person who was kneeling there looking around, timid, with a slight displeasure in his tone.

"Small man, yes." Patriarch Li nodded quickly, raised his head cautiously to look at the people sitting in the hall, and said with an apologetic smile, "I don't know why the Holy One ordered the villain to enter the palace?"

"It's you who secretly instigated someone to sue the imperial court and frame the prince?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at him, his voice revealing the majesty of a superior.

"I'm wronged." Patriarch Li immediately retorted, and quickly waved his hands, "I didn't do this."

He looked at the third prince standing beside him, as if he had found a backbone, he immediately hugged the third prince's leg, "Third prince, you asked me to do this, you can't just let it die."

Bai Susu watched from the side, with a faint smile in his eyes.The owner of the Li family really didn't have the strength to do so, he just blew up a little bit and dragged the third prince into the water.

The third prince looked down at the person hugging his thigh, with a look of savagery in his eyes, he forcefully dragged the Li Family Master who was holding him aside, took a step back, and looked at him warningly, "Li Family Master, Please think twice before speaking, don't carelessly bite!"

"Third prince, you were the one who said you would protect my Li family, you can't just ignore it." Seeing the third prince's denial, Li's master immediately became flustered.

The head of the Li family was afraid that after the incident was revealed, he would be abandoned by the third prince as an outcast, so he asked the third prince for a bodyguard early on.One is to protect the evidence, and the other is to make him and the third prince become a grasshopper on the same rope after the incident is revealed.

"If you hadn't participated in this matter, how could you have sent so many guards to the Li family?" The head of the Li family used his last hole card.

At this point, the emperor has basically understood the matter.I am afraid that the third prince has participated in a lot of these matters.

"Enough!" The emperor patted the dragon chair in a fit of anger, and looked coldly at the crowd kneeling under the hall.

Patriarch Li trembled when he heard it, and immediately lay on the ground, trembling, not daring to say a word.

"Then your Li family secretly used grain to make sugar, can you admit it?"

"This, this, does the emperor have evidence?"

After the head of the Li family asked this sentence, the guard Lin Zijian came over immediately, knelt in the center of the hall, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Li family does use grain to make sugar. , all of them."

Hearing these words, Patriarch Li sat there uncontrollably, with cold hands and feet.

It's all over.

"Come here, put all the shops and properties under the Li family's name into the national treasury, put all the people in the Li family in prison, and exile in the northwest after autumn!"

"Yes!" A group of guards rushed up outside and dragged Patriarch Li down from the main hall. Lin Zijian also took these people to Li's house and arrested all the people in Li's house.

After all these people left, the emperor turned his gaze to the third prince who was standing beside him, "You have been bewitched, you will be fined for three months, and you will spend a month in contemplation behind closed doors."

"Yes." The third prince replied, turned around and left from here.

Looking at Zhou Ximing who had been kneeling beside him, there was a look of complacency in his eyes.Afterwards, he looked at Bai Susu who was kneeling beside Zhou Ximing, his eyes flicked with a wild plunder.

Zhou Ximing understood this look very well. I am afraid that even now, the third prince has not given up the idea of ​​bringing Bai Susu into his backyard.He frowned uncontrollably, and looked at the third prince with a look of unkindness and vigilance.

"Both of you get up too." The emperor looked at the two people kneeling beside him, his tone showing exhaustion.Even the emperor himself did not expect that this matter would be so involved.

"Yes."

Bai Susu stood up, saw Zhou Ximing standing up slowly, and subconsciously supported him.

"Injured?" Seeing Zhou Ximing staggered when he stood up, the emperor asked aloud.

"A few minor injuries." Zhou Ximing said indifferently.

"En." The emperor replied lightly, "I wronged you in this matter. The Xiao family really opened those sugar shops with you? Have you researched a new method of making sugar?"

"This sugar shop was jointly opened by Erchen and Xiao's family, but the method of making sugar was not found by Erchen." As for who it was, Zhou Ximing did not specifically explain, and the emperor also automatically assumed that these were researched by the Xiao family.

The business of the sugar shop is not as important as the salt and iron business, and the emperor didn't want to ask too much about it, so he sighed deeply, waved his hand, and said in a tone of no doubt, "This is the end of the matter." , don’t look any further.”

"Yes."

"There is a famine in a place in the northwest region. Last time I saw that you managed it well, this time it's up to you." The emperor looked at Zhou Ximing, "I will leave the relevant matters to you later."

"My son leads the order."

After this matter was resolved, Bai Susu left the hall, carefully supporting Zhou Ximing, "You have such injuries on your body, you should walk slowly."

"It's okay, the injury on my body is almost healed." Zhou Ximing smiled at her and comforted her.

Bai Susu directly exposed his lie, "Your injury has only lasted for two days, how could it be healed so quickly."

She supported him, and the two of them walked slowly from the palace, got into the carriage, and returned to the courtyard from here.

"The emperor's attitude towards you and the third prince is too great." Bai Susu thought of the emperor's punishment of the third prince in the palace, which really made her feel aggrieved.

"The emperor has always favored the third prince, and punishing him with salary and shutting him up is already the greatest punishment the emperor has given him." Zhou Ximing has encountered many similar things since he was a child, and he has long been used to it.

"You're finally back." Xiao Jingyu's eyes lit up when he saw the people who came over after turning round and round, "Is everything settled?"

"Yeah." Bai Susu looked at him with a smile, with a faint smile in his eyes, "It's all settled."

"That's good." Xiao Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on a stool beside him, "What about the third prince? How did the emperor punish him?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Bai Susu, with a bit of helplessness on his face, told Xiao Jingyu of the third prince's punishment one by one, and Zhou Ximing needed to deal with the famine.

After hearing this, Xiao Jingyu sighed helplessly, this matter was also within his expectation.

"I've heard about the famine in the Northwest, but I didn't expect that the emperor would let you leave the capital for a while to appease the matter."
