Chapter 29 Blackmail
Chapter 29 �
How could Zhou Mengchen have any mistakes in his work?
He recently taught the King of Qin, so he naturally gave the King of Qin a good lesson. While in class, Zhou Dazhuang took people to get 500,000 taels of silver from the King of Qin's treasury. Zhou Dazhuang also confirmed that there was not much silver in the King of Qin's treasury. Apart from the 500,000 taels, it was only a fraction of hundreds of thousands of thousands.
It can be seen that the Qin King has not exploited much money for several years, and he is even more sure about Han Bangqi's statement that Shaanxi is a poor place.
Zhou Mengchen finished all his time, so he stood up and bowed to the King of Qin, saying, "In this way, I will take my leave."
The King of Qin smiled and said, "Teacher, please leave."
Zhou Mengchen seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, as your teacher, I also want to warn you two things. If you want to complain to the court, you must pay attention to the timing and the candidates. Now, no civil and military officials in the court are willing to come here for the earthquake. If you sue me, I am still willing to leave the position, but I am afraid that all civil and military officials in the court will not be happy to leave the position. Therefore, you may return without success. Also, you have contact with Yan Song, so I won't say this, but one thing you should pay attention to is that Yan Song is over seventy years old. Since ancient times, the prime minister in his seventies has been in power for several years. If you are not careful, you will be considered as Yan Song's party, but it will be difficult to deal with. Yan Song is over seventy years old. The prince is still young. You must think about it and think about it."
Zhou Mengchen said, patting the King of Qin on the shoulder.
The King of Qin had a little relaxed expression, but became nervous again, and said stammeringly: "Teacher, what do you say? I am not the kind of person who betrays the master's sect? That's what I want to hit the sky with thunder."
Zhou Mengchen sighed slightly and said, "Is that so? That's because I'm thinking too much. Take care of me and don't give me it."
Zhou Mengchen left now.
In fact, if the King of Qin reported at this time or immediately found Yan Song, it would cause great trouble to Zhou Mengchen. The longer the time, the easier it would be to be buried. After all, who would keep watching this matter at all, how many things happened in the court a year? Of course, Zhou Mengchen didn't think that this matter could shake him much, it was just a three-cup drink.
However, after Zhou Mengchen's fright, the King of Qin was stunned.
The King of Qin watched Zhou Mengchen and his subordinate cavalry, the 500,000 taels of silver had been escorted out of the Qin Palace. He stood at the door of the palace. It took him a long time to feel relieved and sit on the threshold.
At this time, the guards of the Qin Palace came over. They all showed their respect to the Qin King and said, "Prince, Zhou Mengchen is too much this time, let's file a lawsuit immediately." "I will order all my troops now and capture Zhou Mengchen." If you have the king, you must have the minister.
The King of Qin has this virtue, and the one he chose by the King of Qin himself is also this virtue. He dared not rush forward when he saw something. When Zhou Mengchen left, they felt that they could do it again.
The King of Qin was extremely angry and grabbed the long sheathed sword from the waist of one guard and smashed it over without hesitation. However, the King of Qin had already been hollowed out by the wine and sex. However, after hitting it for more than a dozen times, he was panting and sat on the threshold again, cursing: "A bunch of idiots, do you believe it or not, Zhou Mengchen sent someone to watch it outside. If I have any abnormal movements, he would dare to charge me for rebellion, and he would like to kill me and do things cleanly. Besides, when you go to capture Zhou Mengchen, did your mother put her butt into her head when she gave birth to you? Can you beat the iron cavalry under Zhou Mengchen? If you have this ability, you won't come to my Qin Palace to make a living."
"Idiot. Waste."
The King of Qin vented his anger, sat blankly on the threshold, holding the sheath-training sword in one hand, and stationed on the ground. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Although the King of Qin was a rogue in the market, it was not without advantages. There were some advantages, one was shameless, and the other was self-awareness. Therefore, he sold the savings of the King of Qin to the emperor without any burden. With his position as King of Qin, he had no intention of considering the vassal of the King of Qin at all. At the same time, he was also very self-aware.
When he knew that the person who played him was Zhou Mengchen, he knew that he could not beat this boss.
He originally wanted to give Yan Shifan a gift to let Yan Shifan take action to get Zhou Mengchen. However, after Zhou Mengchen said the last few words, he suddenly became a little suspicious. On the one hand, he wondered if Zhou Mengchen had a trap inside, and on the other hand, he was worried that if he was too close to Yan Dang, would he really be implicated? After all, Yan Song was over 70 years old, and he was less than thirty years old, so he was unwilling to die with Yan Song.
The more you think about it, the more you become, the more you think about it.
In my heart, a year came to my heart and said to myself: "Or, let it go, there is still IOU, no, there is still more than 100,000 taels at home anyway."
You know, when he was on the street, he didn't even have a hundred taels of silver.
He thought about it this way and his mind was balanced, and he thought to himself: "Boss Zhou is amazing. I can't beat him. I have paid the protection fee. I am the biggest horseman in Zhou in Shaanxi. In my life, I have never thought about anything else. Holding the hat of King Qin for the rest of my life, I will be worthy of my ancestors. The rest are all trivial matters. Yes, it's a kid, I'm the King of Qin, a golden branch and a jade leaf. Zhou Mengchen, my ancestors don't know where to drink horse urine. Is it gold and jadeite? How can gold and jadeite be touched with earth and stone? Isn't this self-destruction?"
"Prince, let's just let go of this matter?" said a guard beside him. "How can you let it go?" King Qin said loudly.
He had already figured out the so-called loss but not the formation. He had already figured it out in his heart. He decided to endure this tone. But he would never say it. So he said loudly: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. I didn't think of any good idea at this time, yes, I didn't think of a perfect solution."
"Let Zhou Mengchen wait. When will Zhou Mengchen relax his vigilance? I will let Zhou Mengchen know that the world is still named Zhu."
Zhou Mengchen didn't know about the performance of King Qin after Zhou Mengchen left.
However, even if you know, you won’t care too much. After all, the political power of the Ming vassal kings is almost gone. Zhou Mengchen’s status is no longer afraid of offending them. If you kill the vassal kings, it is naturally impossible. But as long as the Qin king is still alive, this matter is not big for Zhou Mengchen.
However, what he never expected was that he had just blackmailed the King of Qin and was blackmailed by others.
The person who blackmailed him was nothing but Shaanxi Governor Tang Shiying.
Tang Shiying spoke in an inexplicable Southwest Mandarin, saying: "Sir, this earthquake, Shaanxi Province is the worst hit. Shaanxi is not a poor province. It has to support it every year. The army towns on the three sides will not be able to make ends meet. The drought in the past two years was severe. The officials spent all the treasury and grain, so they could barely get through it. Now they really don't have a penny at hand. The prefectures and counties that have suffered the most in Guanzhong have been taken over directly by you. However, there are still many places where the damage has been unclear. Many places are still in the northwest of Shaanxi. The people of Shaanxi are all people of the court, so they should not favor one or the other."
Zhou Mengchen said: "You also know that the people in Tongguan have suffered the most damage, so shouldn't they be rescued from here first?"
Tang Shiying said: "Sir, are you really hoping that the 500,000 taels of silver will be used to help the people? If this is not the case, the Tongguan area has already dealt with it in advance. It can support the next wave of money and grain entering the pass, but the prefectures and counties in the northwest cannot last long. If there is no follow-up money and grain, we should first save the prefectures and counties that are less affected. It is not that the ministers do not love the people, but that is, in fact, they can save the most people with the least amount of money. This is how to make more people live."
Zhou Mengchen was stopped by Tang Shiying.
Zhou Mengchen could see that Tang Shiying was sure that Zhou Mengchen would definitely get money and food from other places. Nothing else, but seeing how Zhou Mengchen even offended the King of Qin for money and food, you can know what kind of person Zhou Mengchen was. Therefore, Tang Shiying dared to blackmail Zhou Mengchen like this.
