Seeing Du Yu taking the lead in attacking the tower, the other nobles were not willing to be outdone.

The head of the Yao family said: "Your Majesty does not know that those unscrupulous people have the guts to open their mouths even if they destroy the ground."

"We raise sheep in enclosures to weave sweaters and to help more people survive the bitter cold winter. What do they know?"

"So what if we charge less rent and make less money in order to avoid freezing to death? How can anyone be so cold-blooded?"

"Such a sentence, regardless of the previous circumstances, is a bit unreasonable. These stupid farmers are filthy. Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

The face of the head of the Yao family was red, and he was full of high-sounding words.

In fact, part of what he said is true. It is true that some farmers became angry when they saw nobles leasing land. Some nobles were also dissatisfied with the high land rent, so they played tricks or directly robbed it secretly.

However... while they asked the farmers to collect less land rent, they never thought of lowering the price of woolen sweaters by half a penny, nor did they ever think of sacrificing even a tiny bit of their own profits in order to avoid freezing to death.

, it's just a show of words. When it comes to cold-bloodedness, farmers are not as good as them.

The head of the Yao family added: "Every one of the sons of the grassland people is a virtuous person, but they were captured and taken away to the land. Some were tortured, and some couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide. Some of them left their hometowns and had no choice but to commit suicide."

How desolate it is for a man who abandons his family and his children!”

"If Your Majesty is willing to let a way out, you don't need the land. The worst thing is that you won't be able to run the workshop and you won't be able to contribute to the country anymore..."

When he said this, there were tears in his eyes: "Such behavior is really inhumane! They are guilty, but they are not guilty of this!"

In fact, Yao Qi, who was forced to leave his hometown, was just a sideline and had nothing to do with him as the head of the Yao family. However, this did not prevent him from committing misfortune, and he even carried out moral kidnapping while doing so.

When you, King Zhou, suppress our nobles, you are hindering the production of woolen sweaters!

The officials treated each other coldly, and the nobles felt the same way.

Who doesn’t have a nephew?

They are nobles, nobles who rule the world together with the princes!

Those are all people!

But in the blink of an eye, under the new criminal law, they have become like ordinary people, arresting and killing them whenever they want, and even having to escape far away.

Zi Shou sat in front of the case and said nothing. He was here to be scolded today. If he said anything, he would easily laugh out loud.

It's difficult to see clearly due to the helmet blocking it, but if it makes a sound, it's still troublesome.

At this time, Li Jing suddenly said: "The kid who escaped from the Yao family is called Yao Qi?"

The head of the Yao family felt a slight thump in his heart. It would be okay if someone else asked this question, but Li Jing, the Minister of Punishment, opened his mouth...

Could it be that the Ministry of Punishment has become so insane?

I abandoned my family and my son, gave up my family and fled to the frontier. Do I want to catch him back?

The nine-room hall, which was still noisy at first, suddenly became quiet.

It’s so heartless!

The head of the Yao family cried out in pain, Yao Qi's life or death was not important, what was important was to exert further pressure.

Don't look at how arrogant Li Jing is now. He can take whatever he wants when he says he wants to capture nobles, and he can take whatever he wants if he wants to seize the land. But after today, it won't be that simple!

How many people should be released must be kept clean!

There was a hint of joy in the cries of pain from the head of the Yao family. Who among the nobles present had no grudge against Li Jing? When the land tax was collected at the beginning of the year, it was Li Jing who brought people to threaten him!

Every time I see this shiny head, it makes me grit my teeth!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty——"

The head of the Yao family was crying, and his whole body seemed to be broken. He acted the whole way. The more he did now, the easier it would be to speak later, and the easier it would be to fight for his own interests.

"The Ministry of Punishment has become so cruel. The imperial court should follow the royal way and kill all the people from Qianlina. What is the difference between them and the bandits in Liangshan?"

The head of the Yao family burst into tears.

Among the ministers, many people showed strange expressions.

Earlier King Zhou sent Li Sui to Li County, could it be just to capture Yao Qi?

What is the use of this? It will add a layer of shame to future concessions and compromises?

This... is in line with King Zhou's style. Even if he compromises today, King Zhou will definitely leave a hole and wait until later to slowly settle the matter.

I just don’t know when the day will come.

The boy beside the desk was trembling, and even stopped cracking walnuts.

It looks like it was Li Sui who did it. What a beautiful move!

After holding Hou Yan to account, he also caught a remnant?!

Adding fuel to the fire!

Li Jing took out a page of yellow paper and said, "This is Yao Qi's letter. Can the head of the Yao family recognize the note?"

letter....

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

Could it be that before Chaoge was escorted, the execution could be carried out directly on the spot?

This is... Yao Qi's final letter!

Even Zi Shou cannot go in this direction.

Thinking that Li Sui ran to Li County and after questioning Hou Yan, he accidentally discovered Yao Qi. As the prime minister of Dali Temple, Li Sui would definitely not tolerate criminals and would definitely arrest him with the Xuanniao Jade Pendant. Maybe even this Yao Qi

After arriving in Li County, in order to establish themselves, they instigated the nobles of Li County to occupy the fields, oppressed the poor farmers, and deceived Jiang Wenhuan...

Thinking about it this way, it is very possible. The political affairs of Li County are all handled by the nobles. It is easy to deceive Jiang Wenhuan. And Jiang Wenhuan has a hot temper. If Li Sui exposes this kind of thing, it is not enough to draw a sword and kill people.

Strange.

As a result, the nobles in the palace became even more united in their hatred.

This time it's even more outrageous! King Zhou just ordered Dali Temple, Yushitai, and the Ministry of Punishment to jointly try the death penalty a while ago. How long has it been since then, and he just cut it off? The last thing he sent was a farewell letter?

How can this be called a miserable word!

Although the officials in the palace were not as sad and angry as the nobles, they were all worried about Zhongzhong.

The nobles deserve to be killed. The nobles and princes are all worms in the country.

It takes time.

At this time, the main enemies of the great merchants were the various princes who were destined to rebel. Suppressing the nobles was the last priority.

If the nobles are oppressed too hard and all the nobles are completely pushed to the side of the princes, it will be a bit difficult to do.

Although it may not necessarily destroy the country because of this, the reputation will definitely be bad. After all, public opinion is controlled by the nobles.

Li Sui... is indeed still young and lacks experience.

Even if it was Jiang Wenhuan who did such a thing, Li Sui should try his best to persuade him. Even if it didn't work, he would have to take remedial measures. He should find a reason to say that Yao Qi was chopped by bandits during the escort, or that he was urinating.

I accidentally slipped down the mountain. Even if the reason is ridiculous, I still have to do some face-saving work to remove the imperial court.

But he was honest and sent the final letter.

The ministers shook their heads. Being too honest is not a good thing. Let's see how Li Jing and King Zhou deal with it.
