In the dark night sky, a thunderbolt flashed through, illuminating everyone's face. Some were calm and composed, some were filled with righteous indignation, and some pretended to be aloof, but their hearts were chaotic!
Simajiang of Shuozhou stood on the horse, looking down at Di Renjie. At this moment, there was a faint anxiety in his heart. Facing the heavy encirclement, this Di Renjie could be so indifferent, which made him a little flustered!
Jiang Chong calmed his mind and said with contempt: "Di Renjie, they all say that you are a terrible person. In the past, they were just hearsay. When I saw you today, if it is true, you are indeed terrible, but today you must die! Immortal, we are the one who is unlucky!"
"Oh? What is the meaning of Jiang Sima's words? Your majesty sent this pavilion to Shuozhou to investigate the case of the disappearance of Youjin Wuwei General Liu Maoyuan and his troops. Why is it related to your life and death?" Di Renjie stroked his beard. Said with a smile!
"Huh! Di Renjie, you don't want to come here. Who in the court doesn't know the reputation of your detective, believe that the secrets in the Daqingshan have been discovered by you long ago?" Jiang Chong said with contempt!
"The secret of Daqingshan? Jiang Sima, then tell me what secrets are in the Daqingshan? Do you let this pavilion understand even if you die?" Di Renjie asked!
"Okay! Anyway, you are dying, and I tell you it’s okay! That’s right, we have been smelting cast iron in the green mountains six months ago. In order to smelt a large amount of cast iron in the shortest time, we will The young and strong laborers and blacksmiths nearby deceived Daqingshan!" Jiang Chong said without evasiveness!
"The court law stipulates that private smelting is subject to a 20% iron tax. Are you just trying to avoid the 20% tax? I'm afraid this is not justified, right?" Di Renjie asked!
"Hahaha! Twenty percent of the tax? Although the two percent of the tax is a lot of money in terms of our output, it is nothing compared to our income! The first reason we did this is that All young and strong labors are free labor. Second, the court will strictly control the flow of cast iron, and we are not subject to this restriction!" Jiang Chong smiled contentedly!
Di Renjie slowly raised his head, his eyes were burning with angry flames, staring at Jiang Chong's arrogant and contented face, and said word by word: "You really are like snakes and scorpions!"
Jiang Chong said coldly: "The heart is like a snake? Hahaha! Di Renjie
, I will treat you as complimenting me! "
Di Renjie glanced at Jiang Chong, and asked with a deep face, "Should all of your cast iron be sold to Turkic people?"
"How do you know?" Jiang Chong seemed a little surprised, and couldn't help feeling nervous!
"How does this pavilion know? Hahaha! By analyzing your behavior, it is not difficult to draw this conclusion. First, you smelt such a large amount of cast iron in a short period of time. Raising a large amount of silver in time, and purchasing such a large amount of cast iron can only be the Turkic people who are next to my Dazhou! Second, you just said that you make cast iron privately to avoid the imperial court restricting the flow of your cast iron, so to speak. , You must sell these cast irons to people not allowed by the imperial court! Third, all the blacksmith shops and iron shops in Shuozhou City are also ghosts made by you? Of course, there is only one purpose, and that is Control the price of cast iron! This pavilion is right?" Di Renjie sneered!
"You are really a terrible person, no wonder so many people are defeated in your hands!" Jiang Chong said in a bit of horror!
"Haha! I often think that the treacherous villains in this pavilion are horrible!" Di Renjie sneered, and immediately asked: "But this pavilion has a question and would like to ask Jiang Sima for advice. You are already the state capital. Shangguan, in a high position, why do you want to make this deal so desperately?"
"Up to now, I might as well tell you that the cause of this incident has to start with the court's two million taels of consolation money!" Jiang Chong said!
"Oh? It's the two million taels of soothing money appointed by your Majesty at the beginning of the year to appease the people on the border?" Di Renjie's expression tightened!
"That's right! Two million taels of comfort money has just been put into the library, and within two days, all of them have disappeared. The Cishi Mansion has investigated for more than a month, and there is no clue. Seeing that the war is about to end, Cishi Feng Zhijing is worried that things will be revealed. , So I wanted to make up these two million taels in a short time, so I thought of a way to smelt cast iron privately to raise silver taels!" Jiang Chong said!
After listening to Di Renjie, he couldn't help being shocked. He pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid Jiang Sima didn't tell the truth, right? Judging from the time of your closure and the scale of smelting, you two million taels should have been earned back long ago. , For when is it still going on today?"
"Hahaha! Di Renjie, Di Renjie, you are still a Zaifu, in this world, are there people who think money is too hot? You said
That's right, as early as two months ago, it was enough, but we can't watch those vain dollars not making money, right? Alright, Di Renjie, I have told you enough, and I am worthy of you! Get ready to die! "Jiang Chong laughed loudly!
"Which one would you dare to move? You can try it!" Li Yuanfang shook the light steel knife in his hand, and a cold flash suddenly flashed. The sergeants were still very afraid of the knife in Li Yuanfang's hand and hesitated for a while!
"Archer!" Jiang Chong who was standing on the horse shouted!
On the tall building behind Jiang Chong, rows of archers swarmed up, and a hundred spiked arrows aimed at Di Renjie and the others!
"How is it? Di Renjie, do you think you can escape from birth today? Hahaha!" Jiang Chong laughed treacherously!
"Sergeants! This pavilion is the marching marshal of Hedong Road and the two soothing envoys of Hedong and Hebei, who were ordered by the emperor. This pavilion knows that you are blinded by the superiors, so you have just made such unrighteous actions. The soldiers of Zhou, who have received the emperor’s favor, can be used by these little lords and lose their lives? If they immediately lay down their weapons, this pavilion will not hold them accountable, but if they insist on going their own way, they will all be punished on treason!" Di Renjie shouted!
"Shut up to me! Brothers, don't listen to his deceitful words to confuse the crowd. If we put down our weapons, he will definitely put us to death! Kill me!" Jiang Chong drew out the steel knife and waved forward, shouting hoarsely. !
A group of sergeants hesitated and did not follow Jiang Chong's orders. Jiang Chong looked around and shouted: "You still don't do it? Take Di Renjie's first level, reward one hundred taels of gold! Archer, let go!"
As soon as this remark came out, the sergeants caused a flurry of violence, but they still hesitated, and the archers did not release their arrows!
Seeing that Di Renjie’s words had worked, Li Yuanfang hurriedly continued to shout: "Brothers! I am the school inspector Qianniuwei General Li Yuanfang. The most important word for our soldiers is loyalty and righteousness. Compatriots on the battlefield are better than brothers and sisters. Lord Di is the elder of the court and the imperial imperial commission. He has his own words. As long as everyone puts down their weapons and casts their shadows, they will not be held accountable!"
"Brothers, don't listen to him, rush forward and kill them!" The officer who was held hostage by Li Yuanfang shouted in tears!
"I think you are really obsessed! It's incorrigible! Then go to death!" Then, Li Yuanfang took the knife and fell, and the officer fell to the ground and his body fell to the side!
