In fact, building barracks and leveling the land would not have required three thousand strings of cash at all.
He could build barracks with three hundred strings of cash if he didn't use brick and stone structures.
However, Li Jue always pursued perfection in everything he did. It was all because of his damned obsessive-compulsive disorder. He couldn't stand looking at the barracks unless they were sturdy and beautiful.
Under his high standards, all the blue bricks in the stock of Sanglin Village were sold to the imperial court at market price and used to build new barracks.
While Li Jue was busy building the Zhechongfu camp, Princess Changsha was not idle either. She submitted petitions for three consecutive days, requesting His Majesty to uphold justice for her.
However, his memorial was like a stone thrown into the sea, receiving no response whatsoever.
Left with no other choice, she filed a lawsuit with the Dali Temple, requesting them to uphold justice for her.
When Dai Zhou of the Dali Temple received Princess Changsha's complaint, he felt a sudden headache.
In this day and age, it's already good enough that these royal relatives don't bully others, let alone be bullied by others?
Although Dai Zhou was quite disdainful, he still carefully read through the complaint, given the princess's status.
"Li Zhong, the Baron of Xianyang County, abused his power to bully others and seize the Princess's private property?"
"The princess's son, Lu Qinwen, led a group to argue with them, but was shot in the cheek, bleeding profusely and nearly dying?"
Dai Zhou found the complaint suspicious and immediately checked the Ministry of Personnel's archives. He found that Li Zhong was only eight years old, which made him believe the complaint was a false accusation.
"How could an eight-year-old child shoot and injure a man in his twenties?"
"Tsk tsk..."
"Could it be that he was born with superhuman strength?"
Just as Dai Zhou was about to throw the complaint aside, Chu Suiliang strolled in.
"Brother Dai Zhou, I heard you took on a new case today?"
Dai Zhou curled his lip in disdain upon hearing this.
"What new case? It's just a drama of the princess's family trying to bully others but failing and then filing a false accusation!"
“Brother Dai Zhou, your statement is far too arbitrary. You haven’t investigated, so what makes you so sure that the princess’s residence is abusing its power?”
"this……"
Dai Zhou thought to himself, "Isn't this obvious? Over the years, I've only ever seen imperial relatives bully others. When have I ever seen anyone actively bully imperial relatives?"
"What does Lord Chu mean?"
“Princess Changsha is, after all, a close relative of His Majesty. His Majesty is not in a position to interfere in this matter, which is why he has pushed it onto your Dali Temple. Can’t you even understand this simple principle?”
Upon hearing this, Dai Zhou immediately understood. No wonder Princess Changsha had handed the complaint to him; it turned out that His Majesty wanted to avoid suspicion due to family ties!
"I understand, thank you for the reminder, Lord Chu!"
"I will go and arrest him right away. I must bring down this villain who dared to bully the Princess of Changsha!"
