At this time.

All the family heads were holding a sigh of relief in their hearts... They were already holding it in so much that their chests hurt!

Isn’t the king of Huangzhou as wise as a saint, taking the overall situation into consideration when doing things?

Does he know...if he forces them to rebel, Daxia will be in chaos?

They are the overall situation of the Daxia Empire!

So irritating!

This is totally a reckless young man!

I was so angry that I wanted to explode on the spot!

have no choice!

The heads of the families looked at the murderous-looking golden-armored imperial guards around the hall, turned their attention to Emperor Xia, and suddenly knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, we were also deceived by the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so we did something wrong with him. Please forgive us.

Sin!"

They don’t believe in the emperor and don’t care about the overall situation!

Emperor Xia took a deep look at Xia Tian and pondered for a moment: "I have handed over this matter to the Prime Minister You, please beg him!"

The family heads gritted their yellow teeth and turned their gazes to Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian... Those eyes were pleading!

The Sima family did not participate in the division of money and food from the treasury. Now, perhaps he is the only one who can speak for everyone!

Sima Jian understood their eyes!

He glanced at Emperor Xia.

Then, Emperor Xia looked back at him... which was very meaningful!

Sima Jian has served Emperor Xia for more than ten years and can understand the emperor's meaning at a glance!

Then.

"Cough cough cough..."

Sima Jian coughed a few times and said: "Right Prime Minister, since the main culprit who embezzled money and food from the national treasury has been caught, please forgive the family heads for once because they were deceived by the six ministers!"

Having said this, Sima Jian's face turned solemn: "Most of the officials working in the court come from various families. If they are arrested and imprisoned in the Imperial City again, the operation of the court will be impacted and affected. Please think twice, Prime Minister Right!"

This is a threat!

"Hehehe..."

Xia Tian stood up from the chair, walked to the coffin, sat down on the coffin, and sneered again and again: "Think twice?"

"Prime Minister Zuo, it's them who swallowed up the treasury's money and food, they're the ones who violated the laws of the empire, they're the ones guilty... Why are you asking the Prime Minister, a person who enforces the law impartially, to think twice?"

"Did the left prime minister also participate in the carving up of this gluttonous feast of the treasury?"

"Could it be that the Left Prime Minister... is their protector behind the scenes?"

"Right Prime Minister, be careful what you say!"

Sima Jian's face darkened: "The truth is that I'm afraid that Prime Minister You only cares about meritorious service and performance when he first joins the imperial court, and forgets that as the Right Prime Minister of the imperial court, he has to take into account the overall situation!"

"Hahaha......"

Xia Tian sneered at Sima Jian, and his tone became even colder: "Prime Minister Zuo, are you now accusing the truth of ignoring the overall situation?"

"Do you think...that you, the Prime Minister, are the ones who have the overall situation in mind?"

"you......"

Sima Jian was so angry that his beard trembled: "You Prime Minister is too worried!"

"I am just kindly reminding you, please don't think too much about it, and don't label me randomly!"

Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Prime Minister Zuo, are you now accusing the truth of slandering you?"

"I can't afford this accusation!"

"you......"

Sima Jian was so angry that he had nothing to say!

If you say anything you'll get slapped back, how can you ask for this kind of love?

At this time, in Tianxia Palace.

The left and right prime ministers glared at each other like cross-eyes, making the emperor and the heads of families look confused!

Did this pair of husband-in-law really fall out completely?

At this moment, Sima Jian seemed to have lost face and was trembling with anger, but in fact he was excited!

The harder he falls out with his cheap son-in-law, the more trust each family will have in him!

Now, the six major deacon families in the Family Alliance have been destroyed, and it is time for the Sima family to regain leadership!

His cheap son-in-law is really good!

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

I saw Xia Tian's eyes suddenly softened, and his tone also became gentle: "Master Taishan, no... Master Zuo Xiang is actually right. The family heads were deceived by the former Minister of Household Affairs and others into embezzling money and food from the treasury.

Excusable!"

"What's more, each family is loyal to the empire and has made great contributions. The law is nothing more than human kindness..."

Xia Tian’s words are finished!

But all the family heads were already excited when they heard this!

This stubborn young man finally gave in!

It’s so difficult!

I really want to cry!

The husband-in-law and son-in-law seemed to be quarreling fiercely, and they seemed to have different political views, but they...were still good husband-in-law!

Therefore, we should still be wary of the Sima family and continue to be wary of Prime Minister Zuo Sima Jian!

now.

Sima Jian's face froze, feeling helpless... It's broken!

These family heads must have thought that he was acting with the King of Huangzhou, and the trust he had just established with the family heads was gone again!

This kid...,...is so weird!

On the Dragon Throne.

Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes...it's interesting!

Under the ground.

The mysterious man also narrowed his eyes and murmured: "It's interesting!"

at this time.

Xia Tian's eyes left Sima Jian, and he looked around the heads of the families and said: "If the heads of the families can take the initiative to return the money and food taken from the national treasury, the truth can be lenient and not allow you to go to the imperial city to drink tea and chat!"

"So, are you willing?"

"Of course!"

For no reason, all the family heads were moved. Only a ghost would be willing to go to the Imperial City to serve as a prisoner!

After entering there, there is no chatting and drinking tea, but there is some naked body blowing in the cold wind: "We are willing to return the money and food from the treasury, and we will do our best to cooperate with the prince, no, we will cooperate with the prime minister to keep the price of food in the imperial capital down.

!”

"yes!"

"We must cooperate!"

All the family heads spoke out one after another, hoping to touch Xia Tian's heart.

at this time.

"Hehehe..."

Xia Tian smiled again!

"very good!"

"The truth about the price reduction of food in the imperial capital will be dealt with on its own, so there is no need to bother you!"

All the family heads were shocked: "What are you going to do, Mr. Prime Minister?"

The grain merchants in the imperial capital are all owned by different families, and originally reducing grain prices was just a matter of their words!

But now the king of Huangzhou doesn't need them to speak, which is a bit strange!

The King of Huangzhou must be brewing some conspiracy!

must!

When all the family heads thought about this, their hearts began to feel cold again!

Isn’t the King of Huangzhou trying to steal food?

at this time.

Xia Tian continued: "But embezzling money and food from the treasury is a serious crime. Even if you are deceived into swallowing it, it is still a serious crime. If you just give it back... I'm afraid I won't be able to convince everyone!"

"So, do you accept the punishment?"

"recognize!"

In order not to enter the prison of the Imperial City, all the family heads said with blood dripping from their hearts: "Admit it!"

"very good!"

Xia Tian raised his eyelids: "Then let's punish him three times the amount of money and food he embezzled!"

"Any comments?"

"have!"

A family head was really heartbroken and lost his voice and said the word "yes"!

Suddenly.

There was silence in Tianxia Palace!

"Hehehe..."

Xia Tian laughed so hard that the hair of all the family heads stood on end: "Come here, take the family heads who have objections to the Imperial City Prison and serve them well!"

"yes!"

The golden-armored guards grabbed the head of the family and left!

The heads of the families were frightened!

"No!"

"Three times the penalty is a bit light, how about four times the penalty?"

Emperor Xia: "..."

Sima Jian: "..."
Chapter completed!
