Tang Jian's face changed greatly, and he was a little panicked. Just as he was about to explain, Li Er waved his hand and said, "Master Tang, please step aside first. Master Xiao, the money for building the road was paid for by Master Qin himself. Since you took over, then take out a hundred dollars."

Return the million guan to Mr. Qin, no, it is 1.5 million guan. Tomorrow, please ask Mr. Qin to advance the 500,000 guan in advance. Mr. Xiao may not be able to raise it in a while."

Xiao Yu's face turned pale, and the corners of his mouth moved, but he couldn't say a word.

However, Qin Huaidao saw that Li Er's trap was a bit big. He buried Xiao Yu completely and even beat Tang Jian. Look at the stern eyes of Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji, and Li Er's half-smiling expression.

, suddenly realized that I might still want to keep things simple.

What's the plan behind this?

What a bunch of old foxes!

The situation was complicated and confusing. Qin Huaidao decided to cooperate with Li Er in acting and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I have not been able to go to court for the past three days because I am preparing money. It is ready and will be shipped tomorrow."

"That's good!" Li Er said with satisfaction and looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu frowned and was in a dilemma. If he agreed, he would have to spend 1.5 million yuan. How could he get so much? But if he refused, it would be deceiving the emperor. This crime could be big or small, judging from the situation at hand.

, I will definitely deal with it more seriously, and my heart will be in chaos.

It's obviously an impeachment, so why do you put yourself in a passive position?

Xiao Yu, a veteran of the two dynasties, had very rich experience in fighting. His mind was spinning quickly, and he reviewed the entire process. He found that he had fallen into a conspiracy from the beginning. He had been passive since Qin Huaidao agreed to remove him and took over the road construction matters. Moreover, this situation now seems to be

It seemed that it had been arranged long ago, but he foolishly jumped in.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu became even more panicked. He suddenly thought of something and said immediately: "Your Majesty, building roads is a major event. The merits are now and the benefits will be in the future. I will support you even if I lose everything. I am willing to give 1.5 million yuan to return it to Qin Dynasty."

Sir, I will take over the road construction, but Sir Qin will have to hand over the cement manufacturing skills. I am not greedy for this skill, but I am worried that there will not be enough cement and I will not be able to continue building the roads."

After getting the skill of making cement, Xiao Yu is not afraid of not being able to get back the money.

Cement is precious and must not be leaked, but Li Er refused outright and looked at Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao smiled. This bad old man was so bad that he was waiting for him here and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao. When you run out of cement, just ask me to buy it. Since it is needed by the court for road construction, the cost price is fine. And

The same goes for all my lords. Qinjiazhuang is building a green brick house. It is made of cement. It is very strong and the price is half of the market price. My lords, you can go and have a look. If you need it, I can take over the construction and make some hard money.

."

How can cement technology be handed over?

It’s great to advertise at the same time as you refuse!

"you--"

Xiao Yu's face turned pale with anger. If he couldn't get the production technology, he couldn't get the money back. How could he repair here without money? He looked at a few people in the crowd for help. The other people lowered their eyebrows and didn't say anything at all. Xiao Yu realized that he was being targeted.

After doing so, his heart trembled, his face was full of bitterness, and he gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to come up with so much money in a while."

"Master Xiao, didn't you just say that you have to support me even if you lose all your money? What, you want to bully the emperor?" Li Er's eyes were cold, as sharp as a knife.

"I don't dare. I am indeed willing to give out the money, but I need time to prepare." Xiao Yu started to drag out his words.

How could the dragon among the two of them, Li, see through it and sneer: "How long will it take?"

"Returning to the Holy Spirit, it can take as little as three months or as long as half a year."

"Half a year?" Li Er stood up suddenly and angrily said: "The road has been repaired for half a year, what else do you need to do? Or do you want to stop work for half a year? But you know that once the Tangluo Road is stopped, caravans will not be able to pass, and how many people will suffer as a result.

How much is the loss? How can the important affairs of the imperial court be trivial? It is simply unreasonable."

As if receiving some kind of signal, Changsun Wuji shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching Mr. Xiao Yu for obstructing road construction in disguise and disregarding the life and death of the people. He should be punished!"

"I second the proposal!"

The important ministers around Li Er jumped out to agree. The Duke of Guo screamed the loudest, showing excitement.

This scene, this situation, all fools know that it was arranged in advance. Qin Huaidao really didn't know, but now he can see clearly that Li Er took the opportunity to take down Xiao Yu, beat Tang Jian, and scare the people behind it. It was a good method

.

Xiao Yu's expression changed drastically and he was completely panicked.

Seeing that the opportunity was ripe, Li Er never showed mercy when picking peaches, and shouted: "Come here, Xiao Yu falsely accused the imperial officials and intended to stop the road construction. He is so determined that he will be put into a prison to wait for his punishment. His house will be searched and thoroughly investigated."

After a few words, everyone was shocked.

This treatment is too harsh, and everyone smells something different.

Qin Huaidao looked at Xiao Yu. It was just an impeachment. It did not cause any substantial losses. It was said that he would be dismissed from office at most. Li Er's sudden attack method was a bit unusual. Is there a reason behind it?

Then I thought about it, what does it have to do with me?

I was also a victim of being stabbed.

Immediately, Qianniu Guards came in and escorted Xiao Yu away. Many people looked at Xiao Yu's back with twinkling eyes.

Li Er was very satisfied with the results of the battle. When he saw Qin Huaidao's cold face and remained silent, he guessed he had realized something and smiled awkwardly. After all, it was unethical to use someone as a swordsman, but the king could not admit his mistake and continued with a straight face: "Master Tang."

"I'm here." Tang Jian quickly stepped forward and responded.

"The Ministry of War, Mr. Hou."

Hou Junji also came out and said: "I am here!"

Li Er continued: "The Ministry of War selected ten border cities from Longyou Road and handed them over to Mr. Qin for reinforcement. The Ministry of Household Calculation will calculate the cost of each city and report them as soon as possible without any mistakes."

"According to the order!" the two people said quickly.

When Qin Huaidao saw that Li Er was trying to give him candy, he would not eat it if he didn't eat it. Moreover, it was agreed in advance that repairing the border city would be a blessing to one party, so he agreed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will never pay for it."

Trust.”

"I have seen cement roads and cement bridges with my own eyes. They are well done. I hope the Ministry of Transportation will continue their efforts. The city is related to the safety of the Tang Dynasty. There is no room for mistakes. Remember."

"I understand that this is a matter of life and death. If anything goes wrong, I am willing to accept the blame."

Li Er nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Wang De.

Wang De understood: "Retreat from the court!"

After leaving the Tai Chi Hall, the officials walked away in small groups, chatting in low voices. Qin Huaidao followed the crowd out, and when he saw Fang Xuanling giving him a look, he nodded knowingly, slowed down, and distanced himself from the other officials.

Fang Xuanling came over, walked side by side, and whispered: "What do you think about today's matter?"

"Shibo, you performed a great drama, but you kept me in the dark."

"Hahaha, you actually saw through it, that's good." Fang Xuanling smiled, looked at the officials hurriedly walking around, and whispered: "The Holy One said that you don't know how to play, so I am forcing you, and it will save you less trouble.

.”

"Your Majesty is using thunderbolt tactics today." Qin Huaidao tried.

Fang Xuanling's face darkened, and she lowered her voice and said: "According to the investigation, Mr. Xiao and Prince Yin have contacts, but there is no evidence. The Holy Father has beaten him, but he does not want to repent. It concerns the country, how can we be lenient?"

Qin Huaidao understood immediately when he heard it. This guy actually had contact with Prince Yin. Prince Yin had always been Li Er's heartache. He didn't know where he was hiding, and he caused trouble to Li Er. No wonder he was ruthless today. He is so old.

Do you still want to follow in the rebellion?

"There is another meaning." Fang Xuanling looked around and whispered: "Master Xiao was deceived and instigated by others to impeach in order to gain the right to build roads so as to make profits from it, and the purpose of the person behind it was your cement production

If the technique fails now, I might attack the people you arranged in Yang County."

"They dare?" Qin Huaidao's eyes were cold.

Fang Xuanling asked back: "They even dare to assassinate you, why don't you dare? But don't worry, the Holy One has arranged for a troop to go over secretly and station it near Yang County. If something goes wrong, they will take action. Cement is too important.

, must not be controlled by the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes."

"You mean, the person behind this is Fan Yanglu?"

"They danced the most fiercely, but I suspect that several of them have secretly joined forces to surround you, but there is no evidence, so the Holy One decisively captured Mr. Xiao and knocked down the mountain to shake the tiger."

Qin Huaidao came to his senses and asked, "I understand. Your Majesty asked you to forward these words, right?"

"I am smart and smart, better than your father." Fang Xuanling smiled, acquiescing.

Qin Huaidao couldn't laugh, and a coldness flashed in his eyes. Since Qiwang of the fifth surname dared to take action, don't blame yourself for being rude. If you can kill the Wang family of Taiyuan, you can kill the second family and the third family.

The five surnames and seven fortunes are true after death, so what? Just do it and that’s it!

After leaving the palace, Qin Huaidao got on his horse and was about to leave when a carriage came over and the curtains opened. Li Jing smiled and said, "It's noon. Do you have time to go to my house for a meal?"

Qin Huaidao was about to agree when he saw Xue Rengui waiting not far away, waving to him, with an anxious look on his face. He guessed that something had happened, so he quickly said: "Uncle Shi, if nothing happens, how about we change the day? In a few days, the junior's restaurant will also be open.

It’s opening, please support me when the time comes.”

"Madam said I haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to treat you to a meal. I have nothing to do, so go and do your work." Li Jing saw that Qin Huaidao was busy, so he didn't insist.
