Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 14815 Murderous Intention

"Assholes, what's the use of you!" Zuo Qiuzheng suddenly cursed, and Fu Sheng knelt down quickly. Zuo Qiuzheng turned his head and looked at him with bloodshot eyes, and then said: "Father's great revenge has not been avenged, and now you tell me that the investigation of the Elders' Council is very slow? Are you serious?"

Fu Sheng immediately spoke up, "Your Majesty, those people from the Council of Elders may not dare to take any action because of our investigation some time ago. Now they have begun to hide completely, so we really have no way to track them down. In addition, the line of the Twelve Companies has now been cut off. We have found some members of the Council of Elders in the Twelve Companies, but most of the original members of the Twelve Companies have nothing to do with the Council of Elders. They are just ordinary people, so there really are not many clues now. Please punish them, Your Majesty."

Zuoqiu Zheng kicked Fu Sheng on the shoulder and knocked him to the ground, then cursed: "I don't want to hear this. What I want is the result. I want all the people in the Elders' Council to die. Investigate, and track them down with all your strength. I don't believe that we will not find any people in the Elders' Council." Fu Sheng quickly got up and responded.

Zuoqiu Zheng then let out a long sigh, and then he said in a deep voice: "Get up, and let them bring me a cup of tea." Fu Sheng responded, and he immediately asked someone to bring tea to Zuoqiu Zheng.

After a while, a young eunuch brought Zuoqiu Zheng a cup of tea. Zuoqiu Zheng picked it up, took a sip, then threw the cup to the ground and said, "You want to boil me to death? Come, drag me out and beat me to death." Two guards came in and dragged the young eunuch out regardless of his pleas for mercy.

Fu Sheng stood there not daring to move. He found that he could no longer understand Zuo Qiu Zheng. Zuo Qiu Zheng did not have such a bad temper before, but now his temper was becoming more and more difficult to understand. He would explode at any time. As someone who had followed Zuo Qiu Zheng since he was a child, he could not guess what Zuo Qiu Zheng was thinking, let alone other people. Several eunuchs had been beaten to death in the heavenly palace. This was not like Zuo Qiu Zheng's previous behavior.

But Fu Sheng still asked the eunuch to serve Zuo Qiuzheng another cup of tea. Zuo Qiuzheng took a sip this time and put the cup aside. Fu Sheng then waved his hand and asked the frightened little eunuchs to go away.

On the other hand, Zhang Ruyi was also sitting in his study with a frown on his face. He had sensed a murderous aura from the memorials reviewed by Zuoqiu Zheng these days. This was not a good thing. If an emperor was too murderous, it would not be good for anyone. Was Zuoqiu Zheng a good emperor? In Zhang Ruyi's opinion, Zuoqiu Wen was a good emperor. He maintained the operation of the empire and suppressed their major families while preventing the empire from being in turmoil. Although their families were also suppressed, he had to admit that Zuoqiu Wen was very sensible. Suppressing them did not mean preventing them from developing, but preventing them from developing quickly, because Zuoqiu Wen knew very well that the empire could not do without these big families. He could suppress these big families, but could not completely eliminate them, because the big families had already been completely integrated with the empire. If he wanted to eliminate the big families, it would cause too much harm to the empire. The big families were like tumors growing on the body of the empire. If they were allowed to continue growing, it might harm some of the empire's interests. But if you directly removed the tumor, the empire might die. So Zuoqiu Wen's approach was very gentle.

Moreover, Zuo Qiuwen was almost successful. He suppressed all the powerful families and also stirred up conflicts among them. He won over Xu Kang and others, turning the court into a three-way confrontation. This was actually the best way for the empire. In the future, he could slowly stuff more people into the court to further weaken the influence of the powerful families. Only then could the empire develop in a healthy and orderly manner. In Zhang Ruyi's view, this was the right way. The empire would not be hurt and the major families could still develop. It was a result that everyone could accept, so their opposition was not very fierce.

But Zuoqiu Zheng is different. Zuoqiu Zheng's current approach is too radical. He has sent military supervisors to the army, which is equivalent to monitoring the army. He can know about any unusual movements in the army at the first time. The most important thing is that Zhang Ruyi does not believe that Zuoqiu Zheng will not set up a teleportation array in the army. If he did not know about the teleportation array before, it would be fine. After he knew about the teleportation array, he did not believe that those military supervisors would not use the teleportation array. In this way, if there are any unusual movements in the army in the future, Zuoqiu Zheng can react at the first time.

He controls the army, that's fine, the army can't be in chaos, this is known to everyone, but the establishment of this tax supervision department makes Zhang Ruyi very headache, in fact, as long as the Jiedushi on each planet, there is no one who has no problems with taxation, how could there be no problems? Jiedushi has so much power, how can there be no problems with taxation? I'm afraid no one will believe this, no matter whether this person is loyal to the royal family or not, they can't be clean-handed, if someone can really do it, that person is a saint, this is actually human nature, so before Zuoqiu Wen also turned a blind eye to such things, but now Zuoqiu Zheng has set up this tax supervision, it is very troublesome, he will see how this tax supervision will be done next, if it is not too excessive, it is just a tool used by Zuoqiu Zheng to beat them, that's fine, if it is too excessive, then they can't wait to die, they will also fight back.

This was exactly what Zhang Ruyi was worried about. He found that Zuoqiu Zheng was too murderous, which could be seen from the comments on the memorial. Another thing was that the news from the palace said that several young eunuchs had been beaten to death in the past few days, which showed how murderous Zuoqiu Zheng was. He had such a strong murderous intention, and he had a sharp weapon like the tax collector in his hand. He didn't believe that Zuoqiu Zheng would raise it high and put it down easily. He also didn't believe that Zuoqiu Zheng would only use the tax collector to beat them. That was why Zhang Ruyi was so troubled.

However, Zhang Ruyi is happy to see this happen, because the more ruthless Zuo Qiuzheng is, the more beneficial it is to them. If Zuo Qiuzheng is more ruthless, then Xu Kang and his people may re-ally with them. At that time, the three-way confrontation that Zuo Qiuwen has worked so hard to create will be broken and become a two-way confrontation again. This is what Zhang Ruyi is happy to see, but he doesn't know if Zuo Qiuzheng will do it. It can be said that the situation of the entire Star Empire has become complicated now. Because of the establishment of the Military Supervision and the Tax Supervision Department, the atmosphere of the entire Star Empire has become tense. Everyone is waiting for the actions of the Tax Supervision Department to see how far they will go.

Time passed day by day, and now the members of the Elder Council have completely gone into hiding. No matter how hard the people of the Star Empire try, they will not be able to find them. There is almost no contact between them, and they no longer carry out any activities. In this case, it is difficult to find them. The Star Empire is so large and has such a large population. It is too difficult to find the people of the Elder Council.

Soon, several months passed. During these months, Zhao Hai had been staying at the Poison Mars without making any moves, and the atmosphere in the Star Empire was still so tense. Of course, it was not noticeable on the surface. Everyone was still doing the same things as before without making any moves. And those military supervisors just stayed in the army without doing anything. The people in the army also went from being wary of those military supervisors at the beginning to getting used to them slowly. Anyway, they didn't make any moves, so they could stay here if they wanted.

Although the Tax Supervision Department has been established for several months, there has been no action. However, Zhang Ruyi and others have heard that the people in the Tax Supervision Department have been undergoing training, and the content is to learn how to check accounts. This makes them even more nervous. It seems that if the Tax Supervision Department really takes action, the commotion will definitely not be small. So Zhang Ruyi and others are now all looking at the Tax Supervision Department, wanting to see when the people in the Tax Supervision Department will start to act.

Zuo Qiuzheng did not let them wait too long. At the court meeting that day, after listening to some memorials from below, Zuo Qiuzheng said: "I have one more thing to announce today. Since the establishment of the Tax Supervision Department a few months ago, there has been no action because the Tax Supervision Department has been in training. Now their training is finally completed, it's time for them to move. So I plan to send them out tomorrow. The first stop is Dingyang Star. They want to check the tax accounts on Dingyang Star. Minister Zhang, you won't disagree, right?" Zuo Qiuzheng looked at Zhang Ruyi after he finished speaking, because the current governor of Dingyang Star was a member of Zhang Ruyi's family.

Zhang Ruyi said quickly: "Of course I fully support them. I will ask them to prepare all the accounts as soon as possible and wait for the people from the Tax Supervision Department to come and check them."

Zuo Qiu was looking at Zhang Ruyi's expression. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "That's the best. It looks like Lord Zhang is also prepared. Well, let them check it out. Let's adjourn the court." After saying that, he stood up, turned around and left.

After Zuoqiu Zheng left, Zhang Ruyi's face darkened. He turned and walked out. At this time, Liu De also walked to Zhang Ruyi's side and whispered to him, "Prime Minister Zhang."

Zhang Ruyi said, "Let's talk about it when we get back." Liu De nodded and said nothing more. On the other side, Zhang Qingshan and Xu Kang also looked at Zhang Ruyi, but there was no gloating on their faces. Xu Kang even asked, "What should we do?"

Zhang Qingshan said, "Let's see the situation first." Xu Kang nodded, and they all walked out. Their faces were not looking good, because they knew very well that this tax inspector was not only targeting Zhang Ruyi and his group, but also them. This sword could be swung at Zhang Ruyi, and it could also be swung at them. They just didn't expect that Zuo Qiuzheng would attack them so quickly. You know, they had always supported Zuo Qiuzheng before, but now he wanted to attack them. This made them somewhat disappointed.

Xu Kang and his friends chose to support Zuo Qiuwen because of the internal affairs of their respective families. After they supported Zuo Qiuwen, Zuo Qiuwen took good care of them. Now that Zuo Qiuzheng has taken power, they did not expect that he would also take action against them. The previous military supervisor was targeting them, and now this tax supervisor can also target them. How can they not be disappointed? (End of this chapter)
