Report to your majesty, the prince is courting death again

Downstairs.

"Dong Dong..."

The sound of a gong rang out quickly.

Zhang Anshi grabbed the gong from the soldier beside him and finally drew the people's attention back.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him again, Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "One hundred taels, whoever can carry this wooden stake to the west gate, this official, no, the cabinet will reward one hundred taels!"

"Remember, the cabinet, it's the cabinet!"

Zhang Anshi almost shouted the following words.

He used the name of the cabinet again, which was a bit shameless, but he didn't care now.

Moreover, this was what Xu An said, and the cabinet had three priorities.

He was really afraid that he would say that Xu Xiaogongye said that whoever could carry the wooden stake to the west city would be rewarded with twenty taels.

Then the crowd raised their hands together: I, I, I...

That would be a real slap in the face!

He didn't believe that the price was raised to one hundred taels, and these mud legs who had never seen the world would be indifferent.

"One hundred taels? When did the court become so generous? Do you believe it?"

"Tsk, I don't believe it! The last time a big tiger appeared in Dongshan, the government issued a notice to hunters to go into the mountain to strangle it, with a reward of fifty taels. What happened?"

"I know about this. Seven or eight people died in order to kill the big tiger, but when the big tiger dared to be carried out of the mountain, it was intercepted by the sons of officials."

"Yes, it is said that dozens of hunters were beaten half to death, and the credit for killing the big tiger was directly taken by the official's son. The emperor personally issued an order to confer the title of tiger-killing hero. Bah, the emperor is really blind!"

"You don't want to die? Be careful that the emperor will kill all your clans!"

"..."

The people talked a lot, and suddenly thought of the previous injustice, and they were filled with indignation.

They almost spit on Zhang Anshi's face.

On the city wall, Emperor Yuankang heard these discussions and felt as if his face was slapped hard, burning!

The tigers in Dongshan Mountain were a disaster. In order to protect the people's farming, the emperor ordered the surrounding hunters to form a team to go into the mountains to hunt. Each tiger killed would be rewarded with fifty taels.

The one who killed the most tigers was named a tiger-killing hero.

He remembered that the one who received this glorious title was Que Ying, the eldest son of the Huguogong family!

"Is what they said... true?"

Emperor Yuankang looked at the ministers with a cold voice.

The ministers were suddenly silent, and no one dared to answer.

At the beginning, most of them turned a blind eye to this matter, or fanned the flames.

Although Huguogong Que Zhenxiong was a military general, he was the knife in the hands of their civil officials, and was prepared to support him to replace Xu Xiao.

His son wanted some fame, so he naturally did such a thing.

Anyway, they were just a group of ants. Let alone taking their credit, even if they killed them, what's the harm?

But no one expected that this matter would be exposed today!

"Oh? You're all silent, right?"

Emperor Yuan Kang glanced at his ministers coldly, and shouted in a cold voice: "Sun Kuohai, order the Jinyiwei to quickly investigate the matter and report it. If I don't see the memorial tomorrow, let Xiao Heng bring his head to see me!"

"Yes."

Sun Diao Si turned around and left quickly.

Xiao Heng was the commander of the Jinyiwei.

After hearing what Emperor Yuan Kang said, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem!

Emperor Yuan Kang was really angry.

At this time, everyone looked at Xu An, and they wanted to cut him into pieces.

If it weren't for Xu An, even if Emperor Yuan Kang knew about this, he would probably just be angry in the palace.

But now that it was said in public, it would be a blatant challenge to the emperor's majesty!

If the Jinyiwei really investigated, none of the people who were responsible for this matter at the time would be able to escape!

Que Zhenxiong will also be marked by the emperor because of this incident. It will be even more difficult to support him to deal with Xu Xiao!

Xu An was also confused when facing the eyes of everyone.

Damn, this misunderstanding is a bit big!

This is completely unexpected. What kind of tiger-fighting hero?

I have integrated the memory of my predecessor, and I don’t know about this matter!

At this time, Zhang Anshi downstairs subconsciously took a few steps back, his face turned pale.

One hundred taels, the bonus has been increased to one hundred taels, but no one is willing to stand up, instead, they are full of disdain and ridicule for him.

This group of trash, are they looking for death?

"This... How is this possible? This must be deliberately arranged by Xu An, the prodigal son?"

Zhang Anshi's mouth was trembling slightly, and he didn't believe that all this was true.

Who is he?

He is the censor Zhang Anshi, the iron-mouthed Zhang Anshi of Daqian. Who among the people of Kyoto doesn't know him?

Now even his words are useless, which can only mean that this must be a trap set by Xu An long ago.

This boy, how evil his intentions are!

"Listen carefully, this is a national event. If you follow someone's arrangement and deliberately...It is a great crime to make things difficult for me."

Zhang Anshi stared at everyone, his warm smile had disappeared, replaced by a cold face.

"Now, whoever is willing to carry this wooden stake to the south city, I will not only not hold him responsible, but also reward him with one hundred... no, two hundred taels!"

The reward was doubled again.

However, after hearing his words, the crowd who had been watching the excitement suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stepped back subconsciously.

"See! There is indeed something fishy."

"If deceiving people fails, then threaten them. Humph, this trick of the government is not uncommon."

"Fortunately, I didn't fall for it. Silver is very tempting, but you also need a beautiful flower."

"It's an old trick. You can say nice things, but don't even think about rewards. ”

“…”

The onlookers immediately left with curses.

They had doubted Zhang Anshi’s words, but now they were even more convinced that this was a scam.

Humph, we won’t be fooled!

“You…you…are so presumptuous!”

Zhang Anshi was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he saw this scene.

He never expected that his two firm words would make things completely out of control.

What to do now?

He has used up the three priorities given by Xu An.

Now…I can only use Xu An’s name!

Although he was willing, he could only pray that this group of people would curse directly when they heard Xu An’s name, just like before.

It would be best if it was a hundred times more intense than before when they mocked him.

In this way, even if it was a tie, they could bite Xu An to death.

“Wait a minute, Xu…Young Master Xu said that whoever can carry this wooden stake to the south city will be rewarded with fifty taels. "

He only mentioned the initial reward and had not raised the price yet. However, as soon as he said this, the people who were about to leave suddenly looked over.

Their eyes were frighteningly bright.

"Young Master Xu? Is he the prodigal son of Duke Dingguo?"

"Is he the magistrate of Nancheng County? The young master Xu who solved unjust cases for the people and arranged things for the refugees?"

Someone swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively.

Zhang Anshi clenched his fists and nodded slightly, "Yes, it's him, but..."

He wanted to take the opportunity to discredit Xu An, but before he could finish his words, dozens of people swallowed him up in an instant!
