The disgusting things they did were truly outrageous.
"Why drive all the common people out, leaving only a few who are slightly wealthier?"
"They are the burdened people themselves."
Zhou Zhizhi's voice also turned gloomy, and Zhang De felt a little guilty after hearing it.
He knew that if what he had done were discovered, it would be a capital offense.
But now, if pressed for an answer, I'm too embarrassed to say it.
"Those slightly more worthless people in this city are already dirt poor. If they were in this city..."
His meaning was very clear.
They just think these people are poor, and when the time comes, they won't have anything good left to squeeze out of them.
The only way is to drive them all out so that the city will be filled with wealthy people.
Zhou Zhizhi snorted coldly: "Who do you think you are?"
"How dare they do such a disgusting thing? This will surely lead to the extermination of their entire family. Haven't you heard of this before?"
Zhou Zhizhi really didn't know what this person was thinking, but now they certainly wouldn't hide anything and would report everything.
We should resolve this as it comes, without having to redo it. They need to be properly punished.
Making an example of someone is a good way to warn others, since many places are far from the reach of the central government.
"Your Honor is truly wronged. Even if I were here, I would still be their local official, and the emperor is far away in the mountains. I was just doing these things to amuse myself."
Zhang even felt that his actions were completely without fault.
Xiao Xiyou snorted coldly: "If Lord Zhang were to follow your logic, wouldn't we have many kings everywhere?"
"And these two generals are really quite capable, aren't they?"
Before I came, I had already figured out what was going on here.
So now that they're all stored away, everything is very clear.
After hearing this, General Li shrank back slightly in fear.
I didn't want others to know my current situation, or rather, I didn't want it to be too obvious.
Trying to make yourself invisible means you won't be the one committing crimes.
But that's not the case at all.
"Your Highness is not like that at all. I was just trying to amuse myself and was just joking with them."
"It's such a small matter, let's not bother His Majesty, okay?"
As he said this, he kept glancing at the wives he had chosen.
They were all indeed very beautiful, and their meanings were quite clear.
If the Second Prince really agrees, then all these beauties can be given to him.
Xiao Xiyou, you instantly understood what this meant.
His face immediately darkened.
"What a fool who doesn't know what's good for him!"
"How dare you even think such a thing, me, the King?"
His tone was extremely cold when he said this, as if he wanted to kill the person in front of him.
When Zhang De heard this, even Mao was so frightened that he kowtowed several more times.
He originally thought everyone was like him, but in fact they were all like that.
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong."
He kept kowtowing on the ground in fear, seemingly genuinely remorseful.
But it was all too late.
Xiao Xiyou looked at him as if he were a dead man.
"You know perfectly well what you've done, but you've never thought about changing it, have you?"
His words were essentially a death sentence for Zhang De.
As the local official, even though it's a relatively remote area, I can't get much benefit from it.
But no matter what, they still have a parental view of serving the people, and now that they have done such a thing, it is indeed hard to forgive them.
"Lord Zhang, there are some things you should know better than anyone else in your heart."
"I was sent by my father this time, so you have no way out."
"Hurry up and confess all these crimes you've committed."
"Otherwise..."
Xiao Xiyou's cold words were actually more of a threat.
Lord Zhang here naturally has a first wife, and even his own children.
If all the crimes involved cannot be clearly explained, it may implicate nine generations of one's family.
After hearing these words, Lord Zhang was utterly terrified.
Before, I might have been afraid for myself, but now I'm filled with that feeling of fear all over my body.
Zhou Zhizhi was standing to the side, but she didn't expect that Lord Zhang would pounce on her and grab her leg.
This action startled everyone present.
Zhou Zhizhi was also suddenly stunned.
Seeing that fat, greasy face suddenly appear in front of me, so close, and with its fat jiggling violently, filled me with dread.
What are you doing?
Zhou Zhizhi was clearly startled by this sudden action.
Xiao Xiyou swiftly kicked Lord Zhang to the ground.
"I sent someone to you because I wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible."
"But if you're so shameless, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Xiao Xiyou is really angry this time.
He had initially thought that he might care about Zhou Zhizhi even a little bit.
But when Zhang De suddenly rushed over, his heart clenched in his throat.
This also made him slightly puzzled; he really hadn't expected himself to be like this.
But now is not the time to think about this.
Instead, we should quickly address this issue.
As he thought of this, he slowly raised his head, a murderous glint appearing in his eyes.
"Guards! Lord Zhang De attempted to assassinate the Second Prince Xiao Xiyou. He is hereby executed immediately."
Zhou Zhizhi was still slightly shaken.
He patted his chest; it really was quite scary just now.
Zhang looks terrifying now.
Anyway, he just wanted to ensure his own safety.
However, he never expected that his actions would offend this important person.
"Please, my wife and children are innocent."
"My lord, spare my life!"
After looking at the man's face and hesitating for a moment, Zhou Zhizhi ultimately said nothing more.
Everyone has their own destiny.
Moreover, Zhang De did indeed do some things that hurt others.
Therefore, his fate was one of reaping what he sowed.
Xiao Xiyou kept looking at Zhou Zhizhi with that same expression.
