Mr. Wang suddenly turned pale. How could he not know what Tie Butian meant?
"The son of the right prime minister was originally sentenced to be sent to the army; but he died in prison without any explanation. After that, although the Liucui Lake became ownerless on the surface, secretly it belonged to your royal family."
Tie Butian said calmly: "Master Wang, there are dozens of shops and businesses around Liucui Lake. Well, there are sixty-eight in total, but among them, thirty-seven are named Wang. And the imperial court has never paid attention to this matter.
Firstly, it is because there have been internal and external troubles in recent years, and there is no time to spare; secondly, three people from the imperial censor's supervision office also have properties in Liucui Lake. Although it is not much, they just happen to be the remaining three.
The eleven families share it equally, haha, the annual income is not cheap, it is very impressive!"
"Thirdly, I also hope that you will be able to look back when. After all, it is not easy for us, Tie Yun, to train a minister. Your own ability is only one aspect, and there is also the support of the court and public reputation.
His past political achievements and contributions to the country and the people can be regarded as contributions! Hehe..."
There was already a hint of chill in Tie Butian's tone. The two officials were trembling all over, their faces were dripping with sweat, and their heads seemed to be dizzy.
"This Liucui Lake has become a place for six or seven of you officials to make money and share the spoils! Now, when the court is about to be requisitioned, you actually come to me to talk about the people's anger? Where does the people's anger come from? Is this so-called people's anger just for you?
Isn’t it true that several people are angry?”
"So manipulating public opinion, you actually want to influence Gu's decision-making!" Tie Butian's eyes turned cold and he shouted coldly: "Wang Zhi! Do you really think Gu Gu is so young and easy to bully?!"
With a thud, the two of them were shaking like chaff. They felt their legs were weak and finally couldn't stand anymore and knelt on the ground.
Tie Butian said solemnly: "Why, you two adults, do we need to ask for your permission to use Liucui Lake alone?"
"I don't dare!" The two of them kowtowed to each other like garlic. At this moment, they almost broke their hearts with regret. They never expected that Liu Cui Lake was really the prince's intention, and the prince was so determined.
!
"Hmph! Liucui Lake is a national property, but a scene in Tieyun City is used by you to line your own pockets. This matter is simply ridiculous! As an official of the imperial court, you are receiving a salary from the imperial court, but you... It's really embarrassing
Gu is heartbroken!" Tie Butian said sadly: "That's all, I am an old minister after all, and I don't want to go too far. Mr. Wang, you will inform other families that half of the income from Cui Lake over the years will be turned over to the national treasury. Go back.
Bar."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." The two of them kowtowed repeatedly, sweating like rain, as if they had gone around in a circle behind the gate of hell.
"I don't know about these companies, do you still need to send me a copy of the account books for comparison?" When the two of them exited the door with a lot of gratitude, Tie Butian seemed to be talking to himself, which immediately made the two of them think again.
He stumbled and rolled down the steps in a panic.
Watching the two people leaving in embarrassment, Tie Butian's eyes were cold. He had been waiting for news from Chu Yang; but he was probably waiting for these people to tell the truth to him.
After waiting until now, after confirming Chu Yang's ability, Tie Butian made a decision. If there is no result now, then Tie Butian plans to keep those two people for another day...
"Butian Pavilion has finally begun to take shape." Tie Butian looked at the hazy moonlight outside the window and finally sighed. Since the establishment of Butian Pavilion, it has just been a gimmick to prop up such a shelf. Tie Butian's name is
The prince is actually the king, so how much time does he have to manage Butian Pavilion?
Now that Chu Yang has arrived, this gap has truly been filled.
"Uncle Shadow, what do you think Chu Yang will do to Butian Pavilion?" Tie Butian seemed to be talking to himself.
The air in front of him suddenly became dense and dense. It seemed that the space was also distorted inexplicably. A shadow of nothingness suddenly appeared, like a ghost. His voice was dry and low: "You shouldn't ask about this matter.
I."
"I'm not asking you, but... I want to meet you." Tie Butian said softly: "You are my biggest supporter, but you are so unwilling to show up. I haven't seen you for a few days, but I always want to talk to you.
.Only after confirming your existence, I feel that I can sleep well at night... Haha..."
Shadow's empty eyes seemed to waver, and he said hoarsely: "Don't worry, Your Highness, with the two of us here, no one can kill you for three days."
Tie Butian chuckled, nodded, and murmured: "I'm so tired." He slowly took two steps back, fell on the bed, and murmured: "Uncle Shadow, you should also rest."
The air was distorted again, and the shadows slowly drifted away and disappeared.
Tie Butian had closed his eyes on the bed. He felt at ease with the presence of the shadow. Although he didn't know what rank the shadow brother was, one thing was clear: if it weren't for the shadow brother by his side, he would probably be fifth.
Qingrou has already taken his own head, right?
When Cheng Zi'ang came back from Tie Butian's place, it was already midnight. He walked to his room and was about to push the door open when he was suddenly startled and shouted in a low voice: "Who is in my room?"
"It's me." A clear voice said, and then the candlelight suddenly lit up in the room.
"It turns out to be the throne." Cheng Ziang breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the door open. In the room, Chu Yang was sitting upright on the chair in the middle, looking at him with cold eyes.
"The unknown emperor came here late at night, what advice do you have?" Cheng Ziang felt a little nervous in his heart for some reason.
Cheng Ziang clearly felt that the opponent was weak and could kill him with just a stretch of his hand, but he felt wary of this seemingly weak young man. This was really an unimaginable thing for him.
"I don't dare to give advice." Chu Yang smiled and said: "It's just that in the afternoon, my wording was a little inappropriate. Regarding the change of positions, I didn't communicate with Captain Cheng in advance, so I felt very uneasy.
.”
"Nowhere, Master Chu's clever methods, he caught the traitor in one fell swoop, cleared the hidden dangers for our Butian Pavilion, and even used thunderous means to turn the entire Butian Pavilion into combat power in the shortest time. I am very impressed by you."
Cheng Ziang said with a smile.
"Well, so Captain Cheng still approves of what I have done?" Chu Yang smiled.
"Of course, of course, I approve of it." Cheng Ziang nodded repeatedly. He was still guessing about Chu Yang's true intention here. He felt a little uneasy and guilty.
"Well, His Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything, right?" Chu Yang said with a smile.
"Um, you didn't say anything, you didn't say anything... ah?" Cheng Ziang said halfway before he suddenly woke up and looked at Chu Yang with dumbfounded eyes, with a look in his eyes as if he had seen a ghost.
"It's fine if you don't say anything." Chu Yang stood up, nodded lightly and said: "Actually, I hope he said something, haha, adults are tired from running around and are so old, don't work too hard, haha.
.Go to bed early." He just opened the door and walked away.
Cheng Ziang was covered in cold sweat and his whole body was cold.
