Great Wei scholar

Fanshang's voice sounded, and Xu Qingxiao stretched out his hand to stop the actions of the officials.

"Don't tell me what you said, you have to tell King Zhenxi."

As soon as he said this, King Zhenxi's face changed.

And the fan merchants couldn't help but curse.

"My lord, please take pity on us. We are in business. We really don't want to lose our lives here. Over the years, you have benefited a lot from us, so it's about the same!"

"My lord, don't meddle in your own business, we really don't need your help."

"My lord, there is nothing wrong with this tax, please, don't help us, we don't want your help."

Fan merchants cried and cried.

In their eyes, King Zhenxi didn't come to help them at all, he came to harm them.

Facing Fanshang's denunciation, King Zhenxi was so angry that he vomited blood.

Xu Qingxiao's trick of bringing disaster to the east is simply perfect, almost impeccable.

Kill the fan merchants first, establish a fierce prestige, and then lure the fan merchants to agree to pay taxes. If someone comes forward to stop them, Xu Qingxiao will directly smash the plate and kill them all, as a warning to others.

Because of the previous incidents, Xu Qingxiao even dared to kill the county king. They really believed that Xu Qingxiao dared to kill all the Fan Shang.

Especially just now, when Xu Qingxiao killed 400 people, he planted a seed in almost everyone's heart, the seed of a lunatic.

In this way, who dares to bet on whether Xu Qingxiao will go crazy?

If you win, that's okay.

If they lose, their lives are gone.

Naturally, these fan merchants will unconditionally support Xu Qingxiao.

This move is really easy to advance and retreat.

Thinking of this, King Zhenxi took a deep breath, stood up and came to Xu Qingxiao's side, almost using a very gentle tone to suppress the endless anger in his heart.

"Xu Qingxiao."

"Calm down and listen to me."

"This matter really has a great impact. This king can guarantee that the matter of you killing the king of Huaiping County is far less troublesome than this matter. It is not only for you, but also for Da Wei and His Majesty. trouble."

"In this way, half of their property will be confiscated, which will be counted as punishment. After this matter is over, I will have a good talk with you."

"Master Xu, you are a smart person. Sometimes you just accept what you see. There is no great grievance between you and me. Maybe we can be friends."

"Also, these fan merchants didn't really offend you, so there's no need to be so stiff. They are submissive now because they are afraid of the knife in your hand."

"But once they regain their senses, even if they agree to pay taxes, I can guarantee that they won't be so happy."

"Xu Qingxiao, you have to think about it carefully. You don't need to offend so many people because of these people."

King Zhenxi suppressed his voice, and he said so in front of Xu Qingxiao.

At this time, he knew that if he was still so tough, he was afraid that the matter would get into a serious situation.

He is King Zhenxi, a vassal, he knows what is right and what is wrong.

Still the same sentence, determination determines everything, as long as there is no taxation, it doesn't matter even if all the family property is confiscated, the worst is to start all over again.

As for cheating and abducting, I don't want it for now, or Xu Qingxiao can make money by being honest before he is removed from power.

But once the tax is levied, it is absolutely impossible for these fan merchants to hand over the silver taels to them again. After all, the Great Wei collects [-]% of the tax.

[-]% of the profit, after deducting various costs, the real profit is not much.

Let them pay again?These fan merchants are unwilling to live or die.

Confiscation of family property is nothing more than a stick, but once taxes are levied, it will hurt one's muscles and bones.

So he didn't want Xu Qingxiao to continue to make trouble, it was almost enough to stop at this level.

If Xu Qingxiao is willing to stop, then this matter will stop here, and he will not say anything more.

Of course, when he enters the capital in the future, he still has to wipe Xu Qingxiao's head. This is his principle of life, and he will do what he says.

As for being friends?Hupenggouyou are also friends.

Unfortunately.

How could Xu Qingxiao not know what he was thinking?

What I did today has already affected the interests of these people.

So King Zhenxi said to let him go?Even be friends with yourself?

is it possible?

Even if King Zhenxi agrees, will King Huaining agree?Do the other vassals agree?

So this is already a deadly feud.

At this point, he agreed to reconcile?My brain is not flooded again.

However, what King Zhenxi said made Xu Qingxiao feel even more disgusted.

At this time, all the people watched King Zhenxi coming in front of Xu Qingxiao, and they didn't know what they were whispering.

For a moment, the people panicked for no reason. They were afraid that Xu Qingxiao would be threatened, and they were also afraid that Xu Qingxiao would be persuaded by King Zhenxi.

They support Xu Qingxiao no matter what, as long as Xu Qingxiao is for the common people.

This group of fan merchants did evil in the Wei Dynasty, Xu Qingxiao punished them severely, the common people saw it, they were very excited and happy, this was to eliminate harm for the people.

As for tax increases, they applauded even more.

After all, these fan merchants do business without paying taxes, which is equivalent to eating and drinking for free, but now that Xu Qingxiao ordered them to pay [-]% of the tax, they are naturally very satisfied.

Although the silver was not given to them, it was given to the treasury, and the treasury has money, which will naturally benefit the people of Wei.

Everyone still understands this truth.

Outside the punishment hall.

Feeling the eyes of the people, Xu Qingxiao looked at King Zhenxi again, and said in an extremely calm tone.

"My lord."

"Xu respects your identity, but the prince should not say the words just now a second time."

"Xu Mou punished these businessmen today because of the people. In Xu Mou's mind, Xu Mou is a subject of the Great Wei, so Xu Mou will definitely protect every commoner."

"Whether it's one person, or 100 people, or 1 people, as long as the people of Wei have been wronged, Xu will definitely stand up."

"My lord, tell me, don't make a fuss over these common people."

"Xu Mou solemnly told the prince today, it can be regarded as Xu Mou telling the world."

"In Xu's heart, the common people are more important than Zen Mountain."

Xu Qingxiao said very seriously, he didn't suddenly feel emotional, nor did he pretend to be, but to express his mentality.

He knew that after His Majesty's decree came down just now, everyone in the world would think that Xu Qingxiao was so arrogant and did things without fear of power because there was an empress standing behind him.

But they were all wrong.

The reason why Xu Qingxiao dared to act so arrogantly, without fear of power, whether it was a great Confucian, a minister, a county king, etc., Xu Qingxiao dared to act like this was not because of the Empress.

But the people.

The people of the world.

With so many things happening, Xu Qingxiao gradually understood many truths.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

The emperor needs the hearts of the people.

Officials also need to win the hearts of the people.

If you don't get popular support, everything will go wrong.

If you win the hearts of the people, everything goes well.

There was nothing impassioned in Xu Qingxiao's words, as if they were just explaining the truth.

But these words, in the ears of the common people, seem different.

There is no enthusiasm, no enthusiasm, but these are Xu Qingxiao's heartfelt words, and the common people understand them.

Plain and simple, and the truth.

At this time, King Zhenxi's face was extremely ugly. He was so humble, but he didn't expect that Xu Qingxiao still didn't give him half of face.

Moreover, he directly publicized his words and used the will of the people to attack himself.

How can I not be annoyed?

At this moment, King Zhenxi didn't pretend anymore. Since Xu Qingxiao didn't mean to talk at all, King Zhenxi didn't talk nonsense, and just opened his mouth to sarcastically.

"Xu Qingxiao, you speak for the common people, but I want to ask, is your matter really for the common people?"

"You are angry at the great Confucianism, saying that you are avenging the people, but this king knows that it is your subordinate who committed the crime first. Although you apologize to Yan Ru with a good voice, if you do murder, you are committing murder. It is normal for Yan Ru to refuse, but But you are relying on your own talent to humiliate the Great Confucianism of my Great Wei, is this what you said for the common people?"

"You made a fuss about the Ministry of Criminal Justice, saying that you were avenging justice for your subordinates, and that the Ministry of Criminal Justice was unfair? But this king also knows that when you entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Shang Shu Zhang Jing was worried that you had just entered and did things regardless of the severity, so he deliberately let you do nothing for a few days. You want to sharpen your patience, but you take advantage of the situation and punish Wei officials, is this what you said for the people?"

"You beheaded the king of the county angrily, saying that the king of Huaiping was greedy for ink and relief money, but this king also knows that the king of Huaiping had a grudge against you before, and he used his power to suppress you in front of Chen Xin, making you lose face. So you hold a grudge, and in the Ministry of Punishment, you acted recklessly, and the King of Huaiping came to help, and you held grudges against him even more, and finally invited the Holy Will to kill him, is this what you said was for the people?"

"Xu Qingxiao!"

"This king wants to ask you, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is in charge of the case file treasury. You are under Zhou Nan, and you are furious when you are punished? Then your subordinate Yang Hu and Yang Bao beat up scholars, why are you so partial?"

"You said that the king of Huaiping County killed countless people and regarded human life as worthless. Then you beheaded four hundred merchants today. Although they did a lot of evil, they didn't deserve to die. Are these people not human in your eyes?"

"You use the slogan of serving the people, but everything you do is for yourself."

"Today, if you can't tell a reason, this king will never let you go."

"You can dispatch the Qilin Army, and the Shenji Battalion will subdue this king."

"But I can assure you that you won't survive seven days."

King Zhenxi didn't hide it at all at this moment, he questioned Xu Qingxiao all kinds of words.

Knowing a lot of things, knowing a lot of things, he explained clearly what Xu Qingxiao had done during this time.

Even he didn't care about the empress anymore, the last sentence was Chi Guoguo's threat.

If you dare to touch me, the feudal lord will definitely commit crimes.

Sure enough, when these words were said, the faces of the three ministers changed. As six ministers, how could they not understand what King Zhenxi meant?

At this time, the common people didn't know what to say, they naturally believed Xu Qingxiao, but King Zhenxi was so angry, how could they fight the prince as ordinary people?

But in the face of King Zhenxi's reprimand.

Xu Qingxiao didn't change color at all, but said calmly.

"Angrily scolding the great Confucianism, Xu was indeed angry because of several subordinates at the beginning, there is no doubt about it."

"But on the day of the banquet in Nanyu Mansion, there was a woman who knelt in front of Xu with her children. She cried loudly and broke her heart. Her husband was arrested and imprisoned. Sent thousands of miles away."

"At that moment, Xu was speaking out for the people."

"There was a big disturbance in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Xu was indeed annoyed at the neglect of the Ministry of Criminal Justice at the beginning. This is still beyond doubt."

"But when Xu came to Zhou Nan's house, when Xu saw the people in the courtyard, they all had a kind of resistance to Xu. Xu was a parent official and a subject of Great Wei. Xu often wondered why Da Wei The common people will resist the officials."

"Until Xu saw Zhou Nan's tragic situation with his own eyes, Xu understood!"

"It turns out that the reason why the common people are afraid of officials, and the reason why they don't like to see officials, is because in their eyes, officials and businessmen collude, and officials and officials protect each other. They are just low-level people. When they encounter injustice, they have no way to speak up or fight."

"At that moment, Xu was still speaking out for the people."

"Beheading the county king in anger, Xu is still out of anger in his heart. The prince is right. The king of Huaiping did suppress me with force, and Xu does indeed hold a grudge against the king of Huaiping."

"But when Xu learned about the Pingqiu Mansion's disaster relief funds, and saw with his own eyes, a few ink marks and a few words written on the pen and paper, Xu thought about it for a day. Millions of hungry corpses, Yi Zixiang, eight This word kept Xu awake for several nights."

"At that moment, Xu still spoke out for the people."

Xu Qingxiao explained slowly.

Yes, that's right, King Zhennan was right.

These three things did happen for a reason, and there was indeed a grudge first.
