For this reason, Governor Deng made many promises to the Ma family that once the drought was over, he would definitely give the Ma family greater authority over their industries in Qianhuang City.
That's good. Although the authority was not granted, the Ma family heirloom was contributed instead.
How could the Ma family accept this?
Mrs. Deng was very conflicted. She didn't want to offend either side, but she was also reluctant to give up on either side.
Shen Yong looked at Madam Deng's anxious reaction and knew that the heirloom that Magistrate Deng was talking about was not simple.
The Tianhuang triple seal sounds a bit like something used by the royal palace.
He is not short of money now, and he is quite interested in this rare treasure that can be passed down from generation to generation.
"The Ma family's heirloom, Lord Deng can make the decision?"
Shen Yong put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Governor Deng indifferently.
He has always known that the Ma family is the richest family in Qianhuang City.
Before, the accounting office was short of money, so he wanted the wealthy businessmen in Qianhuang City to contribute some.
If you take advantage of the water he provides, you will have to pay some price.
Later he found that it was cheaper to buy silver from the takeaway mall, so he simply didn't look for those wealthy businessmen.
When the walls of Qianhuang City are all built and the royal palace is also built, it will be time to take action to deal with the aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen in Qianhuang City.
He knew that those aristocratic families did not truly support him.
After all, everything he does is basically only beneficial to the people.
The noble families would not be grateful to him just for some buns and steamed buns.
I guess those wealthy families would blame him behind his back for preventing them from making money from disasters.
If he had not ordered his soldiers to strictly guard all the exits of Qianhuang City, those people from the aristocratic families would have escaped long ago.
For such a long time, I haven't seen anyone from a prominent family come to the prefectural government office to ask for an audience, offer money, or seek refuge with him.
Thinking of this, Shen Yong sneered in his heart.
Once it's in his bowl, you want to escape, but there's no way.
He wanted to see how long those people could sit still.
"...Yes!" Magistrate Deng nodded firmly. "The Ma family has had this intention for a long time, but Qianhuang City has been too busy recently, so they haven't found the opportunity yet."
"This is also my negligence..."
Magistrate Deng did feel a little regretful.
When Qianhuang City was seriously short of salt, he went to the Ma family to discuss it.
He wanted the Ma family to go to the Fire Phoenix Country's caravan to get some salt back and present it to King Qianhuang as a gift. He wanted to sell it quickly and make the Ma family familiar to King Qianhuang.
He has already surrendered to King Qianhuang, and the Ma family has always been his treasury, so naturally he must surrender to King Qianhuang.
As a result, the Ma family believed that Qianhuang City was short of salt, and King Qianhuang would definitely take the initiative to find the Ma family.
Because only the Ma family's caravan can get this large amount of salt from the Fire Phoenix Kingdom.
The Ma family believed that they would actively cooperate when King Qianhuang came to them, so as to leave a good impression.
When he thought about it, he felt that it made sense, and thought that he could mention the Ma family's affairs in front of King Qianhuang at that time.
Before he could even mention it, King Qianhuang solved the salt problem himself.
Hey~
It is true that one wrong step leads to all wrong steps. We should not have delayed at that time.
Shen Yong chuckled and raised his eyelids to look at Deng Hao, who had suddenly fallen silent.
Deng Hao was just yelling with all his might, but he immediately stopped after Magistrate Deng called out "Prince".
Prefect Deng noticed Shen Yong's gaze and turned to shout at Deng Hao, who was curled up on the ground and trembling in pain.
"Rebellious son, come here and kneel before King Qianhuang."
Seeing Deng Hao lying on the ground twitching and showing no signs of coming back for a long time, Governor Deng became anxious.
He turned around and clasped his fists towards Shen Yong, "Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
After saying that, Magistrate Deng stood up and strode towards Deng Hao.
"You bastard! You are so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter that you have offended the prince!"
As he said that, Governor Deng raised his foot and kicked Deng Hao hard.
"Do you know how great a sin this is? You've ruined our family's reputation! Today, in front of the prince, I must teach you a lesson!"
As Magistrate Deng spoke, he kicked Deng Hao with great force.
“Ahhhhhh!!”
Deng Hao fell to the ground holding his head in his aching hand, his butt raised high, and he kept howling.
"Stop, stop hitting me, ahhhh!"
“I was wrong…I was wrong…”
"Ahh, I won't dare to do that again..."
“.....”
Deng Hao was kicked by the prefect Deng and rolled to the front of Chen Yong.
"Your Majesty... please... please spare my life. I am so blind that I don't recognize a great man. Ahhhh!"
"I am blind, please spare my life, Your Majesty..."
Deng Hao was crying with snot and tears all over his face, and he felt a little scared.
How could he have imagined that the busy King Qianhuang would appear in a brothel.
Isn't it said that King Qianhuang has six beautiful wives, some plump and some thin? Why would he think of coming to a brothel?
If he knew that King Qianhuang was in Room No. 1, he would never dare to kick the door even if he was beaten to death.
He had heard from his uncle himself how King Qianhuang had strangled General Zhong to death.
He didn't know how powerful King Qianhuang was, but he knew that General Zhong was not someone to be trifled with. His uncle had been suppressed by General Zhong for many years and had been unable to resist at all.
Moreover, General Zhong is an extremely ferocious man. He kills people without hesitation.
Such a ferocious man died at the hands of King Qianhuang. How could he not be afraid?
This is also the reason why he didn't dare to come to Zuijinlou during this period, for fear that he would be too arrogant and be noticed by King Qianhuang.
Who knew that after enduring for so many days, he would hit the biggest wall in Qianhuang City as soon as he arrived at Zuijinlou.
At this time, Deng Hao's pig brain was also sobered up a little by being beaten by Governor Deng.
He finally realized that the little follower who would rush up and beat people up whenever he gave the order would be impossible to control this time.
These bastards knew that the person in front of them was King Qianhuang, but they didn't even bother to remind him.
Drinking buddies are unreliable. At critical moments, none of them can be relied upon.
After this is over, he will definitely settle the score with those little followers.
Damn it, he eats and drinks his food normally, but he still wants to cheat him at critical moments.
Mrs. Deng saw that her son had apologized, but her brother-in-law was still kicking Hao'er. She felt distressed and wanted to reach out to pull her brother-in-law back several times, but was stopped by Mr. Deng every time.
Although Master Deng felt sorry for his son, he knew that his brother was doing this to appease King Qianhuang.
It is better to suffer a little physical pain than to die.
Mr. Deng held Mrs. Deng's hand tightly, and the couple looked at Deng Hao, who was screaming in pain after being kicked, with heartache on their faces.
"My son..." Mrs. Deng sobbed with trembling lips.
Chen Yong listened to Deng Hao's shrill cry and raised his hand to gently scratch his ear.
"alright!"
