"We have to investigate, we absolutely have to investigate. If we find out, I'll make him return all my money. It's infuriating. He actually used your name to defraud me!"
Of course, the shopkeeper was the most angry. He had given him all the money he had saved and begged him not to come within half a year. The shopkeeper readily agreed.
I didn’t expect that the next day, he would be said to be fake. I’m afraid that it’s not just one merchant who was deceived, but all the merchants around him were probably cheated!
"Everyone, come and see. The person last time was fake, so now I plan to recover all the money for you."
In fact, some people have no idea about this money anymore. After all, even if he says he will recover it, the money is still in his hands. So what's the point in recovering it?
"If you don't initiate a recovery, then since you're quite wealthy, you can just give the tax to me."
Oh, they haven’t thought about one problem. If they don’t get the money back, they will have to pay more money, and some people will not accept it.
I clearly gave the money, why do you want me to pay more? Believe it or not, I will file a complaint with the emperor.
Of course, when they heard something like this, they just pretended not to hear it. After all, whether to file a complaint to the emperor or not seemed to have nothing to do with them. Besides, this matter had already reached the emperor's ears, so how could he turn a blind eye to it?
Besides, the salaries paid by the emperor were not enough to support people's basic living, let alone survival here. Otherwise, why would he directly persecute these merchants?
"Alright, alright, don't bother with me. If you want to sue, go ahead."
"you!"
The merchant was furious and turned around to file a complaint with the emperor. However, after a few steps, he returned dejected. Who would dare to go? If this person was really fined, the next one would probably be fined too. Hadn't so many people here been punished? What if someone targeted him specifically for revenge?
That would be like losing both the wife and the army.
No, no.
"In that case, we certainly hope that you can thoroughly investigate this matter. It would be best if you could get to the bottom of it. After all, it's not easy for us small residents to make a little money here. If we get ripped off by those thieves, we'd be in big trouble."
Every word he said expressed his sadness, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't have much money in the capital.
But if it was protection money, he had paid it respectfully. However, the economy was really not doing well these days, and he could hardly pay the money. The lease of the restaurant was about to expire.
"By the way, can I ask for next month's payment later? After all, the economy is really bad these days, and we are almost unable to pay the bills for this restaurant. If this continues, we can only die to atone for our sins."
If it were any other time, who would he be trying to scare with his cursing?
And now he may have understood their pain and decided to calm down and do good.
Then help investigate this matter thoroughly.
He was so careless purely because of his elder brother's order to behave like a dandy here. The more he lost face for the royal family, the better. So now he was also trying to accomplish this.
In reality, he also understood the suffering of these people, so he planned to help them directly, and it didn't matter if he helped them.
As soon as he asked for help, two days later, a letter from his elder brother arrived in his room via carrier pigeon.
When he opened it, he found that it was filled with messages asking him to rebel, and it also said that someone had already gone to the capital to directly create another wave of enthusiasm, leaving the emperor nowhere to escape!
!
He absolutely shouldn't have rebelled two days after he swore an oath. Where could he find anyone? If he tried to trick them once and failed, wouldn't he even lose his life?
Besides, they never thought of rebelling. If I force them again, I will be really isolated and helpless in the future... Although I want to be filial to my eldest brother, I can't play tricks on him like this.
So he wrote another letter and sent it back. After sending it back, it seemed as if the letter on the other side did not exist in his body at all, and through the letter, he could feel the cursing mentality of his elder brother.
It's a complete 180-degree turn.
The letter just told you to attack quickly, why asked so many questions? Naturally, I was unhappy when I heard this.
There was nothing he could do even if he was not happy about it, he could only speed up the organization of the rebellion, but this time Zhu Nie did not move.
Of course, the one-eyed man who was following nearby also received the news, so he hurried to check on him at the door, but found that he had no intention of attacking, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
His Military Affairs Council had received this news a long time ago, and it was just a matter of seeing whether this person would take action.
If we take action, this person will probably not be able to stay and will be eliminated long ago.
This action was an action, so he sent another letter back, saying that someone had been lying in ambush there, but it was not clear whether these people were rebels, so don't hold too much hope.
This makes sense. After all, I don't know whether you are rebellious or not, so the subsequent problems have nothing to do with him. He is very good at shifting the blame.
However, he was very diligent in passing the buck, and those who followed him were in big trouble. After they went to the imperial city, they were arrested one after another without the knowledge of the people in the capital, under the pretext of catching traitors.
After he was caught, he was reported directly to the court. Zhu Chou was so angry that he was given such a compliment.
So he hurriedly sent another letter, and the words between the lines said that this person was a traitor. How could he do such a bad thing? Someone had betrayed him before, and now someone else betrayed him. Why did he look like someone he had kept as a idler?
And now in this palace, Zhao Xin was lost in thought as he flipped through the documents brought from the Military Affairs Office.
In fact, this man's true nature had been known for a long time, and the reason he wanted to depose him was that his reputation in the imperial city was indeed not very good.
As for the protection fee he asked for, he turned a blind eye to it. After all, this was an eternal rule that had remained unchanged for hundreds of years, and it couldn't be broken by him.
Besides, even if he wanted protection money, he couldn't say anything and could only pretend not to see it. However, this reversal surprised him. He didn't expect that this person was really willing to be loyal to him.
And the rebel wanted to take command, but this man must be very angry. He lost not only the wife but also the soldiers, and the whole group was also caught in the trap.
That group of people are just fence-sitters, but just when they were about to make a move, they all collapsed as if they had some disease.
?
"check."
