The king behind the empress

Chapter 164 Seeking the Capital

Hearing Zhao Baiyang's words, Qian Min immediately showed surprise on his face, "There is such a thing!"

"It's absolutely true, Mr. Ge."

Seeing Qian Min's proficient acting skills, Zhao Baiyang scorned in his heart, but still had that anxious look on his face, "As far as I know, Mo Zizai has already killed dozens of them, and the rest are all He was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, waiting to be executed on a certain day."

"These businessmen are related to the people's livelihood in the capital, and Wangge Lao can see that for the sake of the Great Zhou Sheji, he can talk to His Majesty."

"This matter is too absurd. It stands to reason that no matter how violent the King of Zizai is, he would not do such unwise things." Qian Min comforted, "How about this, brother Boyang, wait for the old man to investigate. .”

"After the old man confirms this matter, he will definitely intercede for those businessmen in front of His Majesty."

Hearing what Qian Min said, Zhao Baiyang's face couldn't help but darken. This old thing is like a non-stick pot, and it doesn't touch it at all.

It's already obvious, and I still need to investigate, what to investigate?When he finished his investigation, those businessmen would have been dead long ago, and it would be useless for him to intercede.

Thinking of this, Zhao Baiyang didn't bother to go around with Qian Min anymore, put away the anxious expression on his face, and said lightly: "Mr. Ge, it's already at this time, let's open the skylight and speak honestly."

"Those merchants donate so much money every year, but we don't care about it now when something happens, not to mention the money we will lose in the future, just say that after this story gets out, the rest of the money givers may feel guilty too. Whisper?"

"Brother Baiyang, what are you talking about?" Hearing what Zhao Baiyang said, Qian Min immediately pretended to be displeased and said, "When did this old man accept their money?"

Zhao Baiyang didn't speak, but there was a sneer on his face.

Yes, you confiscated their money, but you take quite a lot of silver from the priests every year, and where did the priests get their money? It’s not collected from below.

Even now, I still want to get rid of myself. I really think those businessmen are fools. If they don’t know that the money is for you, how can they collect so much money every year with a mere fifth-rank official?
Looking at the sarcastic smile on Zhao Baiyang's face, Qian Min's complexion was a bit ugly, but he didn't have a fit, instead he took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Although the old man didn't accept their money, what Brother Baiyang said makes sense. Those merchants are indeed related to the people's livelihood in the capital. If they are all killed, the capital will soon fall into chaos."

"It's just that King Zizai has acted recklessly and His Majesty intends to be tolerant. If we want to resolve this matter, we need to think long-term."

"Elder Ge, we can wait, those businessmen in prison can't wait." Seeing that Qian Min was still perfunctory, Zhao Baiyang simply forced the palace directly, stood up, bowed and said: "So this matter can only be solved by the elder Ge's presence." Solve it."

"With your prestige, as long as you speak to His Majesty in person, His Majesty will certainly not ignore you."

"I hope Mr. Ge will not have too many worries. At this critical moment, it's time for you to come out and turn the tide!"

"Turn the tide, sir!!!" Looking at Zhao Baiyang who was bowing and saluting, Qian Min wished he could just pick up the teapot on the table and hit him hard on the head.

He's trying his best to turn the tide, and he really fooled him for a fool, so he can't be at ease with his dog temper, isn't he rushing to court death by standing up now?
Qian Min yelled at Zhao Baiyang in his heart, this guy's intentions are too vicious, this is clearly encouraging him to die, it's really despicable!
Zhao Baiyang, who bowed to the end, waited for a while, and found that Qian Min hadn't made any movement, so he said again with emotion: "For the great Zhou Sheji, I hope the old man can come forward to turn the tide!!!"

"Whoo~"

Qian Min took a deep breath, barely suppressing the urge to smack Zhao Baiyang to death with a teapot, and said, "Since we've reached this point, let's stop going around in circles."

"Now that Mo Zizai holds the power of Yuzhisi in his hands, and his Majesty intends to indulge him, he will kill anyone who dares to oppose him openly."

"So, brother Boyang, you are not asking the old man to turn the tide, you are asking the old man to die!"

"To die for some lowly businessmen, the old man's life is not so cheap."

"Heh~" Hearing what Qian Min said, Zhao Baiyang stopped pretending, stood up directly, looked at Qian Min and said, "Master Ge thinks you won't die if you don't show up?"

"Now Mo Zizai has completely treated us as meat on the chopping board. He can copy and kill us whenever he wants."

"If we don't resist, I'm afraid we will all be beheaded by him in a short time."

"Resist? How to resist?" Qian Min glanced at Zhao Baiyang, and said expressionlessly: "With the support of His Majesty and the authority of Yu Zhisi, if you dare to resist him in the open, he will dare to kill you."

"As for playing tricks in the dark, don't you forget that the [-] feathered forest army is still in His Majesty's hands. With these [-] elite feathered forest troops, what storms can you stir up?"

"Resistance? Rebellion requires capital!"

"Then he can't be allowed to act recklessly like this!" Zhao Baiyang looked cold and stern, "If you continue to be so indulgent, can you guarantee that he who is easy to kill will not kill you and me?"

What Zhao Baiyang said made Qian Min look extremely ugly, because this was what Qian Min was always worried about.

Although in order to solve the problem at this time, he had already arranged the incident in Nanjun, but I was afraid that Mo Zizai would kill him without waiting for something to happen in Nanjun, so he would have to find someone to reason with.

"So, what do you mean?"

Because he was in an extremely bad mood, Qian Min didn't even bother to call out Bo Yang's brother, and said directly: "Since you said this, you must have planned something in your heart, right?"

"Tell me about your plan. If it is feasible, the old man will consider it."

"Ge Lao Ming Jian." Zhao Baiyang flattered him, and then said: "The reason why Mo Zizai can be unscrupulous is nothing but His Majesty's tolerance for him."

"If His Majesty is no longer tolerant of him, even if he holds Yu Zhisi in his hands, what can he do?"

"So we just need to let Mo Zizai create a big trouble that even His Majesty can't solve. Then no matter what His Majesty thinks, in order to solve this matter, she must take back Mo Zizai Yuzhisi's power."

"Big trouble?" Qian Min had a vague guess in his heart, and asked with some uncertainty, "What do you mean by big trouble?"

"That's right now!"

Zhao Baiyang said decisively: "Those giant merchants have been arrested so many at once, and those remaining small merchants simply cannot supply the supplies needed by the capital."

"Therefore, we only need to push the flames a little bit behind the scenes, and this chaos is likely to turn into a big turmoil, which will definitely affect the whole city."

"At that time, the hundreds of thousands of people in the capital will be in chaos. If we don't care about it, what effect will the [-] Yulin army have?"

Hearing what Zhao Baiyang said, Qian Min raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Baiyang. There are tens of 10 people in the capital, and if there is chaos, there will be chaos. This guy's heart is more vicious than his own.
