Will succeed

"The baby you're talking about is her? A pretty woman?"

Hearing this, the prefect's mouth twitched immediately.Pretty good looking?Cooperating with this prince, still haven't caught your eye?Of course the magistrate would not say what was in his heart, he only secretly thought that Li Jue was too shameless.

He didn't even think about it, why should he give you a small official face?

"Hey, His Royal Highness, this is a beauty that I only discovered a few days ago, and she is definitely first-class in Yanyang!" The magistrate gave a thumbs up, "Perhaps there are some girls in Chang'an who are better than Yingque." A beautiful woman, but it's rare to see someone as charming as Ying Que, right?"

"It's true that it's rare, but if the baby you're talking about is only her, then..."

Hearing Li Jue's subtext, Li Jue secretly thought that having this peerless beauty was not enough, he had to ask for some gold and silver treasures!

But no matter how resentful you are in your heart, there is nothing you can do. Who told someone to catch your pigtails? "His Royal Highness, please come with me."

Li Jue nodded, followed the magistrate without even looking at Yingque.No one saw the cold smile in Yingque's eyes.

The place I came to this time is much more normal than just now - the study.

To say that the magistrate is very face-saving, such a stupid person, but he dresses up the study very scholarly. Li Jue deeply suspects that this is done by someone else. With the prefect, it is impossible to make it so tasteful. of the room.

Although the study room is rich in atmosphere, there is nothing of real value, and I don't know where the treasure that the magistrate said is.

After looking at it, the magistrate had already opened a secret door. Li Jue noticed that the mechanism of this secret door was inside the pen, but Li Jue couldn't see clearly what it was because of the distance.

"Your Highness, please." The magistrate gritted his teeth, and no one would be happy when his wealth would become someone else's property, let alone a corrupt official.

As the magistrate entered the secret door, Li Jue was dazzled by the luxury inside.

For a small magistrate of Yanyang, the corridor in the dark room is actually inlaid with night pearls. Although he is not big, for a magistrate, that is a lot of wealth.

Even the corridors are like this, Li Jue can't help but wonder how greedy the magistrate is...

Walking through the corridor, Li Jue finally saw the true face of the dark room.It wouldn't be an exaggeration at all to say that Jin Guangying, to be honest, Li Jue's net worth is not much more than this!

Of course, this is only on the surface, secretly the princes don't know how many transactions there are!

The magistrate looked at the room full of gold, and thought that he was about to give it all to others, it hurt his heart! "Your Highness, this is all of my wealth, and I will give it all to you."

"All for me?"

Seeing Li Jue's playful gaze, the magistrate gritted his teeth and said with pain, "As long as His Highness can spare the lower official this time and promote the lower official, then all of these will belong to His Highness!"

The magistrate pointed to a room full of gold, silver and jewelry, although he was reluctant, but it was worth it for the future!He believes that no matter who it is, seeing so much money will be tempted.

"What if I don't agree to your terms?"

Hearing this, the magistrate was obviously taken aback, his eyes filled with disbelief: "No...don't agree?"

Li Jue chuckled: "Yes, no!"

Obviously, Li Jue's answer made the magistrate unable to recover for a long time, and it took him a while to get out of the shock. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind: "If Your Highness refuses to agree, then... the next official will have to die with His Highness in this room full of treasures." !"

These words had backbone, Li Jue's eyes flashed a look of astonishment, he never thought that the magistrate, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, would say such words, it completely subverted Li Jue's impression of him.

However, no matter what, it couldn't affect Li Jue's attitude.

Li Jue made a gesture in front of the magistrate, and when the magistrate didn't understand what the gesture meant, two people suddenly appeared in the dark, and was frightened when he learned that Fu Yi fell to the ground.

"How...how did this person come out?"

Without answering the magistrate with trembling lips, Li Jue said to the two in the dark, "Take him down and ask Xie Zhui to lead someone to carry things."

"Yes."

The two held the prefect's arm each, and took him out under Li Jue's order.

Only then did the magistrate realize that this Li Jue wanted to accept bribes, was it obvious that he was investigating his background?If it were any smart person, he would be wary of Li Jue, how could he sell himself out in a muddle like this magistrate.

If you want to blame, you can only blame him for being too comfortable in Yanyang, thinking that money can solve all problems, and not investigating Li Jue's personality, this is his biggest failure!

The guards quickly moved all the things in the dark room, and when Xie Zhui saw it, he even wanted to kill the magistrate himself!

The woman named Ying Que Li Jue didn't do anything to her, and only asked two people to watch her in the dark.For some reason, Yingque always gave Li Jue a strange feeling, and he couldn't explain it.

This time Li Jue didn't give the prefect a chance to speak more. After announcing the prefect's crimes outside, he was sent directly to death row, waiting for your execution the next day.

Li Jue's move was well received by countless people in Yanyang. At the same time, he also forced those wealthy businessmen who stayed behind closed doors out of their homes, and brought gifts to the government one by one to apologize.

"Hu Gengyun, a grassroots man, came to visit His Royal Highness on behalf of all Yanyang merchants."

Li Jue looked at Hu Gengyun who was kneeling below with great interest. A few days ago, those businessmen came to make amends one by one, and Li Jue sent them back without saying anything.

Today Hu Gengyun came to the mansion on behalf of other people, and these businessmen are not stupid to think about it.

"Boss Hu invites you, but you can't be such a big gift."

Hu Gengyun broke into a cold sweat suddenly, a prince told him that he could not be a great gift, how resentful is the prince in his heart!He didn't dare to get up, so he continued to kneel and talk to Li Jue: "Mother...His Royal Highness, the grass people are here today for disaster relief."

Li Jue looked at the embarrassed Hu Gengyun playfully, and didn't expose him. After all, the people of Yanyang still need these businessmen, so he continued to make false claims with him: "Oh? Shouldn't the disaster relief be ordered by the prefect a long time ago?"

Li Jue said this lightly, the magistrate has already been sentenced to death, so what can these businessmen say?But Hu Gengyun is also smart, knowing that Li Jue gave him a step down, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned the magistrate.

"Oh, to be honest, His Royal Highness, the magistrate has never talked about disaster relief with Caomin and other vendors! Caomin and others saw that the common people were pitiful, and even gave them porridge. His limelight is to prevent me from participating in this matter, otherwise it will be a crime of beheading!"

"is it?"

Hu Gengyun wiped the sweat off his brow, looked at the specious expression on Li Jue's face, and wondered what Li Jue was thinking in his heart, so he could only go straight to the end: "Everything the grass-roots said is the truth, please look into it, the prince. !"

Li Jue didn't answer, just drinking tea quietly. To Hu Gengyun, the gleaming knife was already on his head, and he was afraid that it would fall off accidentally.

As time passed by, Hu Gengyun secretly observed Li Jue's expression, and he didn't see any anger, and he smiled softly, but he didn't know why he didn't speak!

After a while, Hu Gengyun only felt that the prince was more terrifying than the previous magistrates, and he just smiled like a tiger!He just smiles like this, and it can make your heart shudder.

Hearing the sound of cups and cups touching the table, Hu Gengyun couldn't help trembling in his heart, thinking that the prince was finally going to speak, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"Chi!" Hearing the voice, Hu Gengyun suddenly raised his head, looked at the sneering prince, and waited for the "judgment".

"Boss Hu doesn't have to be like this. I know how the prefect is. You don't have to be afraid. I won't do anything to you." After all, you still need your money and food, don't you?

Hu Gengyun breathed a sigh of relief this time, thinking that this time his head was saved.Fortunately, he knew that he came to Li Jue to donate his property, so he asked for a life-saving talisman for himself.It's hard to say for those merchants who didn't act...

"Thank you Prince Ron!"

"Boss Hu, get up, let's take a seat and talk." Li Jue pointed to the seat on the lower right of him, and said to Hu Gengyun.

Just looking at the seat given to him, Hu Gengyun knew that he would definitely be fine today.It is important to know that when the monarch receives his courtiers, he sits facing south, left, east, and right west, and his courtiers stand facing north, left, west, right. The courtiers are lined up according to their official positions. Respect the right and despise the left.

Although Hu Gengyun is not a courtier, he also knows the truth that the right is respected.Now that Li Jue grants you the seat on the right, doesn't it mean that you are here for disaster relief and are willing to donate your family's belongings. I should respect you and give you some kindness?

Although he knew the reason for Hu Gengyun's visit, Li Jue didn't mention it at all. If he asked about this kind of thing, the meaning would change, and he simply pretended not to know: "Boss Hu hasn't said what's the matter of coming today!"

Hearing the question, Hu Gengyun quickly sat upright, took out a book from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Jue: "His Royal Highness, this is the roster of Caomin and other six merchants. It contains the property we donated for disaster relief. Please read the details, Your Highness."

After receiving the roster, Li Jue opened it and flipped through it casually. After a cursory look, he secretly thought that the Yanyang merchants were really rich. Only six people donated such things, and these were obviously not their entire net worth.

One of the six people is Li Jue's man, who opened various shops in Yanyang under Li Jue's order, and this person was ordered by Li Jue to help refugees secretly before Li Jue arrived in Yanyang, and now he incites various The merchant donated property and pushed Hu Gengyun out to avoid being suspected.

Li Jue secretly praised that person for his ability to handle affairs, which made these people willing to give so much money.However, he said calmly: "Boss Hu has a heart, and the people of Yanyang will remember you all. After you go back, thank the remaining five for me."

"Don't dare to thank His Highness, this is what I should do. If the magistrate is convicted, I don't have any worries."

"Since that's the case, Boss Hu will go back and prepare well, so that more people can eat as early as possible."

"Yes, the grassroots leave."

After Hu Gengyun left, Li Jue sneered while holding the roster, thinking about how to deal with those merchants who did not take any action, and at the same time worrying about the delay in solving the drought.
