Goodness! These filthy words stunned the governor. Not only him, but also Liu Muzhi and others waiting beside him were dumbfounded. Why did His Majesty suddenly...
"Your Majesty, I can also take away countless properties from my mansion. Your Majesty's treasury is now empty. Could it be that..."
Zhao Xin yawned, and then he didn't even bother to look at the border governor, as if he felt that the sight of him made him weak and tired, and even made him feel nauseous and vomit.
"I have already plundered that mansion and transported it back to the capital along with the tribute and betrothal gifts from the new government."
It was also thanks to the fact that the prefect was like a rat and was good at hoarding property and food, so this group of cavalrymen were able to make a fortune.
However, it was only at this point that Zhao Xin understood one thing.
It's possible that the money and food he distributed from the national treasury did not reach the hands of the common people directly. Seeing the expressions on these people's faces, they probably lied to him that His Majesty did not help him.
Otherwise, how could there be so many rebellions this year, and even let the enemy soldiers take advantage of the situation? This small country was able to get a piece of the big country's pie, but... if it got out, they would probably be laughed at for half a year!
"I will now ask you one thing honestly: did the money and other items I sowed find their way into your mansion and, by extension, your pocket?"
"Don't try to deceive me. I will make you live a life worse than death. This is just an appetizer. I can investigate!"
The border governor swallowed back what he was about to say.
Since his back was turned, the governor had no idea what Zhao Xin's expression was, and therefore couldn't tell if he was joking or serious. After all, His Majesty was acting strangely, and it wasn't certain if he was truly imitating the new ruler's ways.
If he confesses, he will be treated leniently, while if he resists, he will be treated severely. At least he can get away with it. As long as he can return to his own territory, he will probably have whatever he wants.
After all, he was on good terms with the governors of the surrounding states and counties, and even more so with the governors. No matter what, it was impossible for the emperor to be so rampant that he could kill five or six governors at once and then replace them with new ones. I'm afraid no one in the palace would be willing to do that!
"Your Majesty, you have a keen eye!"
“…”
Why do these words sound so sarcastic? The border governor is really effeminate. His voice is so sharp and shrill with a hint of inflection. Zhao Xin wanted to raise his hand and throw the long sword at the governor to send him to the underworld.
Free shipping does not include shipping, postage is a life.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? Your Majesty, calm down. This border matter has not yet been clarified. Killing people indiscriminately is the same crime as committing the same crime as the common people!"
The people around were already getting nervous, but no one dared to go up and hold down Zhao Xin's knife. After all, if Zhao Xin was stubborn and just stabbed them with the knife, they would probably be finished.
"Of course I will personally eliminate this social scum and human scum. Why do you ministers still want to stop me from killing the rebel?"
Liu Muzhi is organizing language.
Then an idea struck me.
"Your Majesty, nowadays, approval depends on evidence. These people are extremely turbulent now, and the leader cannot be moved. If we want to take his head, it will probably take a few days, otherwise it will really be..."
Zhao Xin knew what Liu Muzhi was worried about. He was afraid that he would ruin his good hand. More importantly, he always said that this person was not worth it, so there was no need to compete with such a person.
"I have already made the Xinzhi people sign a contract with me. The contract clearly states the prefect's crimes. If I throw this evidence in, the prefect will be included in the evidence. I am afraid we are all in the same boat."
Although the voice was small, it was clearly heard by the prefect. The prefect's expression was unpredictable, and he sighed in the end. Although he did not feel any regret, he felt that the leader of the new government was too disloyal.
"Your Majesty, that general from Xinzhi said he would never betray me. I don't believe him. He's a man of unwavering integrity. You're just lying to me!"
Is this prefect frozen silly or something? Why does his attitude of speaking sound like that of an unreasonable three and a half year old child, and it also sounds extremely funny.
"I, if I have the time to lie to you, I might as well review a few more memorials."
Zhao Xin is gone.
The mighty team just disappeared in front of the prefect.
The prefect was estimated to be over 40 or 50 years old, and his hair turned gray overnight. He had always fantasized about the day when he could enter the palace openly and wander around the imperial garden or Taiye Lake.
I didn't expect that this wish would come true so quickly. Not only did the wish come true directly, but he also stood here for a long time, looking into the distance and watching the wind.
As soon as the huge group of people left, the entire imperial garden became quiet. Even the palace maids were nowhere to be seen. It was probably Zhao Xin who ordered everyone to retreat.
That's quite considerate.
Then, a young eunuch who was passing by slowly said something with a frown on his face that was like a fierce slap in the face. The numbness made the governor of the border gate feel extremely painful.
"The person carrying the infectious disease Your Majesty mentioned is right down this road... What a bad luck! How did he end up here by accident? Better get going!"
Then hurried footsteps were heard, and the prefect was aware of the mockery from beginning to end.
His glorious days in Wuling County were over, and now he was afraid that his miserable days would be getting longer and longer. Seeing that Zhao Xin was reluctant to let him go, he probably wanted to leave him here to fend for himself.
I have to say that the trick he came up with was amazing.
Now that the news has spread, no one dares to bring him food, so the road is even more deserted and no one comes. Those who come over just spit at him and stay away from him without saying a word.
Those who are more aggressive will start swearing.
The governor of the Guan area felt that he had really gotten used to it and no longer cared about the existence of such things.

"Well, how is the governor now? I haven't visited him for several days. I hope he won't starve to death."
Xiao Chenzi beside him curled the corners of his mouth, inexplicably feeling that the emperor's smile had a bit of unspeakable... cunningness.
"Your Majesty, when those eunuchs and palace maids heard that the governor was seriously ill and had the contagious disease of smallpox, they hid away and dared not get close to him."
Zhao Xin's hand trembled as he was reviewing the memorials, and the brush slipped out of his hand.
"What did I say? Don't let the governor starve to death. I still have something to ask him later."
Now, the mechanical creation and the groups of people causing trouble in the city should have a result. Now this absurdity should also end.
And the substitute is this unlucky prefect.
