"But it doesn't make any difference. You are already guilty of colluding with bandits and this is a capital crime. It's no big deal if there is one more crime. It's a pity for your family. Even if I don't kill them, they will eventually be exiled to the desolate north." Su Yu said with a sigh.
Zhao Gang suddenly struggled: "I am responsible for my own actions, please don't let my family get involved."
"Zhao Gang has been a military general for so many years, you should know what the rules are. If you assassinate a royal relative, all nine generations of the clan will be executed." Does he look like someone who is so easy to talk to
Just let it go
Zhao Gang sat on the ground dejectedly, his eyes dull.
Su Yu was right, he should have known what would happen to him.
"Take him away and don't let him run away. If he runs away, you will be held accountable." Su Yu looked at the people beside him coldly.
"yes."

Su Yu waved her hand and asked them to leave. They were really an eyesore here.
After everyone left, Su Yu was the only one left in the tent reading.
In the afternoon, Yuanbao came back first: "The prince has been caught."
"Let's go and take a look, and call other people along, yes, bring Zhao Gang along as well." Su Yu gave the order.
"Master, what should we do with Zhao Gang? Should we expose him?"
"He has been exposed." Su Yu paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.
Yuan Bao looked at Su Yu's back in surprise. What did the young master do? He actually exposed Zhao Gang.
He took all the officials in the military camp to the beach, and Zhao Gang also went with them.
Zhao Gang didn't understand why Su Yu brought him here, but when he saw the returning ship, it made sense to him.
Su Yu didn't trust them, so he sent his people out long ago.

No wonder he always looked nonchalant every time I went to see him.
When Zhao Gang saw Tan Yiming and the others being taken down, he knew that everything was over.
The common people also came back with them. Looking at those people who had become bandits, Su Yu said, "Don't do that again in the future."
"If we don't do that? The court collects 60% of the taxes, and we can't grow any food. How do you want us to live?" one of them said angrily.
"Who told you that the tax rate is 60%? The tax rate has always been 20%. You have all been deceived by Tan Yihai."
The people were stunned: "Is this... true?"
Is it really just 20%
"Naturally, the news here has been blocked, and the emperor doesn't know what's happening here. Someone from your side fled with his wife and children, begging all the way to the capital, where he met my princess and finally entered the palace to see the emperor. After knowing what happened here, the emperor was furious and sent me here to clean up these parasites." Su Yu said indifferently. As for whether they believed it or not, that was not his problem.
"This time, my princess also came with me. She came here on the orders of the emperor to teach you how to make seafood from here into dried food and send it to our side to sell. In addition, she will also teach you how to make salt fields. The salt fields here will be official salt. When the money is made, every household will get a share of it. You won't have to live like before."
After hearing Su Yu's words, the people finally believed it a little.
"In addition to this, when we came here, the emperor also asked us to bring a lot of food with us, which will be distributed to everyone later, so that everyone can get through this difficult period first."
Those people who had become bandits laughed, but as they laughed they began to cry again: "The Emperor has not abandoned us, he still remembers us."
"The emperor will naturally not forget you. He has always been concerned about the people in all parts of Xuan Country. If such a problem occurs again in the future, don't be afraid. Just go to the capital to file a complaint. At that time, the emperor will have someone reimburse you for your round-trip expenses. You don't have to worry about losing everything."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing the people's excitement, Su Yu's lips curled slightly: "Go home now, you can tell the people around you about these things, tell them that everything will be fine soon, and I will start distributing the food after I prepare it here."
"Why."
All the people went home.
After they returned home, Tan Yihai's lies were completely exposed.
The people gradually realized that the tax rate has always been 20% and has never reached 60%.
It’s not that the emperor forgot about them, but that the news was blocked by Tan Yihai and other officials.
Those adults who were good to them did not run away, but were detained by Tan Yihai.
They had misunderstood all this.
For a time, people began to look forward to the day of grain distribution.
At this time, the food that Su Yu had people send over also arrived one after another.
Let all those who can do the work come over, notify those who need to be notified, and prepare those who need to be prepared.
Three days later, all the people knew that food would be distributed.
And it is distributed in every place.
Yuanbao and his companions each took a team of people and some food to other places to deliver food to the people.
When the people saw that they could really receive several hundred kilograms of food without their families, they knelt on the ground after receiving the food and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"The person you are thanking is the emperor. All this food was provided by the emperor."

"The emperor is a good emperor, and the prince is also a good prince."
Also here today are Hongyi, Xiaobao and others.
Hongyi and Xiaobao have been helping all the time.
After the people received the food, Su Yu pushed Hongyi out and said, "This is the emperor's second prince. The emperor really can't leave, so he asked the second prince to come over."
Hongyi stood up and looked at all the people, then suddenly bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, we didn't know about this in advance, and we made everyone feel wronged."
"When I came here, my father asked me to apologize to everyone. It was because he did not manage things well here and made everyone suffer. This kind of thing will not happen again in the future."
Seeing Hongyi, who was half a man's height, sincerely apologizing to them, the people did not feel that they were looked down upon by the emperor. Instead, they felt that the emperor took this matter very seriously.
Otherwise, why would you let a child of a few years old come here
"The Second Prince is fine. We are all fine now, and our days will get better and better."
"I definitely will." Hongyi nodded in agreement.

This time he has been following Wang Jinhe to understand the situation here. He has also learned a lot, including how much harm corrupt officials have done to the people.
After the situation here was almost dealt with, it was Wang Jinhe's turn.
"Xiaohe, how are you doing?"
"They are such a waste." Wang Jinhe was so upset that she could not even cry.
"I don't want crabs or lobsters, I just want fish. Do you think we can live a good life?" The fish died after not being kept for long.
How do you make money from this
"I went to see these days, and all the king crabs were lost. It hurt me so much, and so did the octopuses." Wang Jinhe was really heartbroken.
