Chapter 123: One Hundred Years Older
Zhao Yu looked at Wei Zhongxian with a wry smile on his face.
"Master Chitose, that's 80,000 shi of polished rice. Even if my subordinates are extremely capable, there is no way they can remove it from under the eyes of the guards!"
Wei Zhongxian nodded when he heard this. With eighty thousand stones, grain and rice, even if all the imperial guards in Kyoto were mobilized, it would take a day or two.
"Then tell me, where did the rice in the porridge outside the city come from?" Before Wei Zhongxian could say anything, Zhao Jingzhong stepped forward, stared at Zhao Yu and asked coldly.
Zhao Yu raised his head and glanced at Zhao Jingzhong, raised his shoulders and said: "Now I have to greet the commander. He distributed the grain fans, I am just an errand boy!"
At this time, it's time for the puppet An Jianqing to come into play!
"you……"
Zhao Jingzhong continued to press, but Wei Zhongxian on the side waved his hand.
Seeing Jiu Qiansui trying to stop him, Zhao Jingzhong could only swallow it hard when it reached his throat.
"Then let me ask you again, Chen Zhong died suddenly in Beisi Prison, but was it your instigation?"
The old eunuch picked up the teacup, blew in the hot air gently, and asked Zhao Yu again in a calm tone.
"yes!"
This time, Zhao Yu didn't even hesitate and admitted it directly.
"Did you know that Chen Zhong is from our family?" Wei Zhongxian put down the tea cup in his hand and stared directly at Zhao Yu sitting opposite.
"My subordinates naturally know."
Zhao Yu nodded, and then without waiting for Nine Thousand Years to ask again, he said directly: "Not only do I know, but many people in Kyoto know, so Chen Zhong must die!"
"oh?"
Jiu Qiansui raised his eyebrows, then stared at Zhao Yu with interest and asked: "Then tell me, why does he have to die?"
Zhao Yu stood up, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Now that there is a big disaster in Beizhili, the imperial court is having a headache about this matter. No matter where the rice for this porridge comes from, Chen Zhong should not bring the Dongchang's servants with him at this time."
He and the soldiers from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division came to the porridge to question him.
As a result, in the eyes of the victims and officials, Mr. Qiantose became the chief culprit in obstructing the court's disaster relief.
I had no intention of killing Chen Zhong, but he wanted to use your name to suppress his subordinates in full view of the porridge shop.
It doesn't matter to your subordinates, but once your name is revealed, everyone will target Chitose as the biggest disaster!
In this case, Chen Zhong must die!!"
Zhao Yu came slowly, and Liu Jin and Zhao Jingzhong on the side finally understood why Zhao Yu killed Chen Zhong. Not only was Chitose not upset, but he even offered him a seat for tea.
"good……"
Wei Zhongxian smiled and looked at Zhao Yu who stood up to explain, and then stretched out his hand again, motioning for Zhao Yu to take a seat.
After Zhao Yu sat down, Wei Zhongxian then asked: "Then let me ask you, what should we do next?"
"Search the house!"
Zhao Yu sat opposite Wei Zhongxian, lowered his head and said two words coldly.
Wei Zhongxian smiled when he heard this, while Liu Jin and Zhao Jingzhong on the side were trembling.
From a small gangster to today's powerful man, Wei Zhongxian's hair is hollow!
He already knew Zhao Yu's plan when Zhao Yu said the words "property confiscation".
To outsiders, to convict Chen Zhong and then confiscate his home and send him into exile, all of this has nothing to do with being nine thousand years old.
For Wei Zhongxian, he just raised his hand and supported a puppet in front of the businessman.
"So, Governor Zhao Zhen did not come to our house to plead guilty, but to claim credit!" Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhao Yu with a smile and said with a slightly teasing tone.
"How dare you..."
Zhao Yu pretended to be panic and quickly handed over his hand.
"Messenger Zhao Zhen doesn't have to be humble. Since you have merit, you should be rewarded! Our family is not the kind of old fool who doesn't know rewards and punishments..."
With that said, Wei Zhongxian took off a mutton-fat jade pendant from his waist and threw it directly to Zhao Yu opposite.
"Thank you, Lord Chitose, for the reward!"
Zhao Yu held the jade pendant in both hands and thanked him loudly.
Zhao Jingzhong and Liu Jin on the side looked at each other. They originally planned to get rid of Zhao Yu, the thorn in their side, but they didn't want to let this guy receive another reward!
…
After leaving Chitose Mansion, Zhao Yu looked at the jade pendant in his hand and was shocked.
As we all know, most eunuchs are greedy for money and good stuff.
Killing Chen Zhong yourself is equivalent to taking money out of the nine thousand-year-old's money pocket. To the eunuchs, this is no different from cutting off the flesh from their bodies.
But after the old lady overheard his nonsense, not only did he not punish him, but she also gave him a reward.
Zhao Yu understood that the only explanation was that this seemingly notorious eunuch was definitely not willing to just be a nine-nine-nine-hundred-year-old eunuch. He wanted to make further progress!!
"This old guy, it turns out he really wants to go to heaven..."
Looking at the majestic Chitose Mansion behind him, Zhao Yu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
…
After Zhao Yu left the Chitose Mansion, Wei Zhongxian rejected Liu Jin and kept Zhao Jingzhong by his side.
"Surprised?"
Looking sideways at Zhao Jingzhong, Wei Zhongxian asked in a calm tone.
"Don't dare..."
Zhao Jingzhong bowed slightly. Although he said he didn't dare, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, what kind of sorcery does Zhao Yu have that makes Jiu Qianjie value him so much?
"We know what you are thinking!"
Wei Zhongxian looked at the empty Xiudun opposite and said to Zhao Jingzhong: "Have you noticed any difference between his visit to Qiantui Mansion this time and the last time?"
Zhao Jingzhong was slightly stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he still shook his head.
He was preoccupied with how to use Jiu QianSui's hands to control Zhao Yu, but he didn't realize that there was any difference between Zhao Yu's entry into Qian Sui's Mansion this time and the last time!
"He did not kneel down, and although his tone sounded respectful, there was no trace of fear!"
Zhao Jingzhong didn't see it, but the woman in white clothes and sword next to Wei Zhongxian revealed the clue!
"good!"
Wei Zhongxian nodded, and then said: "Three generations of the Zhao family have served in the Inspection Department. Although they are in the Imperial Guard, they have no foundation in martial arts.
The guy in front of him obviously has someone to rely on.
In our house, things like backing, influence, etc. are not very effective. The only explanation is that everyone among the factory guards thinks that the governor of Beisi Town, who is not knowledgeable in martial arts, has the capital to protect himself!"
"Father, do you want to..."
The woman in white clothes on the side raised her hand and made a gesture of wiping her neck after listening to Wei Zhongxian's words.
"No, if we keep him at home, he will be of great use!"
Wei Zhongxian waved his hand and stared at the place where Zhao Yu had been sitting before.
Throughout the ages, the most honorable eunuchs have only been granted the title of king.
For Wei Zhongxian, this honor and favor simply cannot satisfy his ambition.
Nine thousand nine hundred years old?
This title that seemed to have reached the extreme, in his opinion, was not very meaningful.
He wants to set a precedent in the past!
