Chapter 298 You have to tell me the premise
The Jade King was horrified when he saw this. "Little Rabbit, don't force me. You know I don't want to hurt you..."
As he spoke, he placed the knife across Xiao Tu's neck. "Of course, the prerequisite is that you tell me what you said to Li Mingshan."
——
Early morning, in the imperial palace.
In the palace with carved beams and painted rafters, officials dressed in solemn court robes were discussing in the main hall. Until they heard the announcement, they all turned around at the same time and looked at the man who was respectfully surrounded by people.
He had long legs and big steps, and was wearing a gorgeous robe made of shimmering brocade, which meandered silently on the ground, forming extremely gorgeous patterns.
As this dark red and strange figure approached, a gloomy atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire place, and the air was filled with oppression.
Everyone immediately stood up and saluted, their expressions becoming cautious.
Ning Cuo strode to the throne, threw off his robe and sat down, his red lips sneered, "Since you've made a scene in front of me, then tell me everything."
One of the ministers immediately said, "Governor, the heavy rain in Guangdong and Guangxi caused the river to backflow. Jing Wenxiu concealed the incident and failed to report it, causing the people to riot in anger. Many people have died. He deserves to be put to death."
Ning Cuo didn't bother to raise his narrow eyes, and said in a cold voice, "He deserves to die. I will have his head hung on the city gate tower and never taken down, to vent the people's resentment."
The officials couldn't help but take a deep breath when they heard this. This was truly like being nailed to the pillar of shame, and they would never be able to get down from it again.
Ning Cuo's eyebrows were dull, and he said with a smile on his lips, "Jing Wenxiu is dead, but the mess in Guangdong and Guangxi needs someone to take over. Who among you is willing to go?"
The officials were silent after hearing this.
The so-called officials forcing the people to rebel, and the fact that it is a mess, it really is a mess!
As a group of officials were discussing the matter, Ji Qinghe stepped out and said, "This humble official is willing to give it a try."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him and thought to themselves, this old fox is so impatient that he didn't see that the governor's confidants were about to speak, but he got there first.
Ji Qinghe was really decisive. He said he would join the team without any ambiguity and took the responsibility of this matter directly.
But if things are done well, it will be a token of loyalty and a great achievement. This old fox is indeed smart!
Ning Cuo didn't even pause when he heard this and said, "Give him the title of Imperial Envoy, grant him the Imperial Sword, and command 10,000 elite soldiers. If anyone disobeys my orders in the area, I will kill them all."
Ji Qinghe bowed, "Your subordinate obeys your command!"
Ji Qinghe retreated quickly, and the officials scratched their noses silently. Governor Ning was still so murderous.
Ning Cuo's voice continued, "Now let's talk about the dikes in Guangdong and Guangxi. They were built in just two years, costing hundreds of thousands of silver coins, and yet they collapsed in a single rainstorm. Are your dikes made of paper?"
The casual and cold voice also brought out a hint of sexiness, but it also made people feel as if their throats were being cut by a sharp blade.
Everyone held their breath as they watched the man twirling the jewel ring on his finger. His slowly raised, overly enchanting brows revealed a bone-chilling smile that made everyone in the hall tremble.
Ning Cuo opened his red lips slowly and said, "Ministry of Industry."
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Works knelt on the ground with a plop, his face pale as he wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Excuse me, Governor! Excuse me, Governor! I really didn't know about the construction of the two Guangxi dams. The supervisor at the time was someone under the Left Prime Minister. I was..."
As they were talking, a secret guard quickly appeared.
