Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

royal palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon throne and read the memorial.

At this moment, a chamberlain guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao, the Prime Minister of the Left, is asking for an audience outside the palace."

Zhou Chen said casually, "Inform him to come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The house guard and factory guard bowed and retreated.

moment.

Xiao He walked into the Yangxin Hall.

"Xiao He has met your Majesty."

Xiao He walked into the Yangxin Hall and saluted Zhou Chen respectfully on the dragon chair.

Zhou Chen closed the memorial and raised his eyes to look at Xiao He; "You don't need to be polite, Prime Minister Zuo."

"What's the important thing for Aiqing to come to Yangxin Hall?"

Zhou Chen asked.

Xiao He immediately bowed and said, "Reporting to your majesty, I came to the Yangxin Hall to investigate the land grabbing by wealthy families in various places."

"In recent days, officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs have been inspecting land in various places, but it has not been as smooth as before."

"Some wealthy families began to no longer cooperate with the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs as they did before, and there was no movement to find out the taxes that should be paid for the land they had occupied..."

Xiao He told one by one the problems encountered by the Ministry of Household Affairs when conducting land inspections.

In the absence of Xun Yu, the general affairs of the household department were presided over by the minister of the household department.

But for such an important matter, Xiao He must be informed.

After all, Xiao He is the left prime minister, in charge of all civil and military officials, and the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs is not here. Xiao He also has the right to intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Hearing this, Zhou Chen nodded; "I already know about this matter, and I will leave it to Dongchang to handle."

With Dongchang's existence, Zhou Chen had already received news from Dongchang about these matters.

Zhou Chen could also guess why these wealthy families dared not cooperate with the court as before.

This probably has something to do with those people who have joined the world.

Later, Xiao He left the Yangxin Hall after reporting some more things.

After Xiao He left, Zhou Chen's eyes were a little deep.

Since those people joined the WTO, it has indeed affected the smoothness of the Ministry of Household's inventory of those lands.

Some wealthy families think that they can defeat his court by relying on these worldly people. It is really fantastic.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Cao is asking for an audience outside the palace."

At this time, the house guard and factory guard came in again to report.

oh!

"Cao Zhengchun is back!"

Zhou Chen was shocked.

Cao Zhengchun left Luoyang according to his order to track down the killer building.

Now that I'm back, there must be results.

"Let him in."

Zhou Chen said to the house guard.

soon.

Cao Zhengchun walked into the Yangxin Hall dressed in dust.

"Old slave, please pay homage to Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun saluted respectfully.

Zhou Chen looked at the dusty Cao Zhengchun and asked, "How is the investigation of the matter I entrusted to you?"

Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have found the lair of the Killer Building."

"The old slave personally led the factory guards to wipe out the lair of the killer building. No one escaped, and the entire killer building no longer exists."

"By interrogating the owner of the killer building, I have found out the mastermind behind the interception of the patron king and the assassination of the household official."

"It's just that there are many aristocratic families involved in the mastermind behind this, so I don't dare to make the decision without permission."

"This is the result of the old slave's investigation. Your Majesty, please take a look."

Cao Zhengchun took out a memorial from his sleeve, stepped forward and presented it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen opened it and glanced at it.

Zhou Chen's face immediately darkened.

As Zhou Chen had expected before, the person behind the interception of the patron king and the assassination of the household officials was indeed from a wealthy family.

What Zhou Chen never expected was that the people behind this were not just one or two families, but more than a dozen.

In addition to these wealthy families, there are actually people who are worldly behind this.

To be more precise, the people behind this matter are actually pushing for it.

After Zhou Chen read the contents of the memorial, his face was as gloomy as water.

Zhou Chen raised his head, looked at Cao Zhengchun and asked, "Are these all true?"

These wealthy families are not small families.

Zhou Chen wanted to double check these results to see if there were any errors.

Cao Zhengchun nodded affirmatively; "Reporting to Your Majesty, these are all things that I have confirmed over and over again, and they are all true."

After receiving the confirmation, Zhou Chen did not hesitate and said coldly, "Since everything is true, then kill me."

"I will destroy all these wealthy families who dare to hire killers from the killer building, intercept and kill patron kings, and assassinate court officials."

"Leave no one behind."

A trace of coldness flashed across Zhou Chen's face.

Zhou Chen would never show mercy to these wealthy families who dared to go against the imperial court.

Zhou Chen wanted to see how hard the bones of these wealthy families were and whether they were afraid of death.

"Old slave obeys the order."

Cao Zhengchun bowed.

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun again and asked, "Are those six arrested people in the world?"

Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, those six old slaves have been sent to the imperial prison and have not had time to be interrogated."

After prying the mouth of the owner of Killer Building open, Cao Zhengchun returned to Luoyang without stopping.

There was no extra time to interrogate the six worldly people.

Zhou Chen heard this and said directly, "We need to pry open their mouths as soon as possible to see what is their purpose of entering the world this time?"

"Especially the situation regarding Tianshan Mountain has been clarified for me."

Zhou Chen knew very little about the situation in Tianshan.

Even the Eight Wise Kings only knew a little bit about it, not much.

Therefore, if he wants to understand the situation in Tianshan, Zhou Chen can only start from these people who are worldly.

"Old slave obeys the order."

Cao Zhengchun bowed.

"besides."

"Preach the decree to the world and tell those who live in the world that this Great Zhou is not the Tianshan Mountains. In the Great Zhou, you must abide by the rules of the court."

"otherwise."

"I will destroy them directly."

This is Zhou Chen's ultimatum to those who join the world.

He doesn't care who the people who join the world are, as long as they behave themselves in the Great Zhou Dynasty and abide by the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

That's all easy to say.

Zhou Chen wouldn't care about them either.

But if they dare to act recklessly in Da Zhou and fail to abide by Da Zhou's rules, then Zhou Chen will suppress them without mercy.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A glint flashed in Cao Zhengchun's eyes.

Cao Zhengchun knew that this was another ultimatum issued by His Majesty to those who had joined the world.

If those people who are worldly listen, then nothing will happen and everyone will be fine.

If those people who live in the world don't know what's good and don't listen to His Majesty's ultimatum, then those people who live in the world will be doomed.

"Go do it!"

Zhou Chen said nothing more and waved to Cao Zhengchun.

"Old slave, please retire."

Cao Zhengchun turned around and exited the Yangxin Hall.

Next, his Dongchang will ransack his house and wipe out his family again.
