Chapter 418: Almost hacked to death by the emperor

"Your Majesty, Cao and Master Xu are already outside the gate of the palace, do you want to announce them to come in?"
Chen Dachang bowed and asked.
The emperor nodded, "Xuan!"
With an order, Cao Cao from the Household Department and Xu Xianzhi, Wei Zuowei, came to the hall.
Both of them knew why they were summoned, so they brought a piece of physical evidence, confession, and tax bills and fines issued by the household department. It just hasn't had time to implement it.
All the evidence and information are now in front of the emperor.
Cheng Enbo knelt on the ground in a cold sweat.
The gray beard trembled and trembled, instantly as if he was ten years old, and he felt like a dying year.
He raised his head slightly and looked at Gu Jiu who was still sitting on the stool.
Gu Jiu lowered his head and met his gaze blankly.
The eyes of the two collided, there was no spark, no killing intent, only calm.
Yes, Cheng Enbo's gaze was exceptionally calm at this moment, without the slightest tension and fear.
Obviously he was nervous inside.
Gu Jiu smiled clearly, old fox.
After several days of stimulation, Cheng Enbo finally calmed down at this moment.
He calmly thought about the situation of himself and the Zhu family, calmly looking for a solution.
Obviously, everything Gu Jiu does has profound meaning.
Whether it's tax inspections or refugees' attack on the earl's mansion, all are to cut off Zhu's cash flow.
I have to admit that Gu Jiu is a very tough opponent. The bearing capacity is also quite strong.
When I was replaced by someone else, I had already collapsed and bowed my head in the same level of commercial suppression.
Gu Jiu not only refused to admit defeat, but wanted to turn defeat into victory.
Cheng En Bo Zhuci took a deep breath, he admitted that he underestimated Gu Jiu at first.
Gu Jiu not only has a genius for business acumen, but also has a heart harder than a stone.
He opened his mouth and said silently: "I lost!"
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, surprised.
Cheng Enbo surrendered so simply? What is the purpose? Want to come back?
She looked at the emperor.
With evidence collected by Xiuyiwei and Tax Cao of the Household Department, Cheng Enbo Zhuci wanted to come back, unless the emperor's head was cramped.
She looked at the other person again and gave up. What do you mean?
"I lost!"
Once again, Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci said silently.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, his eyes turning between him and the emperor.
She knew, Cheng Enbo Zhuci wanted to protect herself.
Anyway, he has a lot of capital, and he is a big deal after losing this game. Just beg Gu Jiu don't rush to kill.
Gu Jiu smiled slightly, then slowly shook his head at him.
Cheng Enbo Zhuci was shocked and asked silently: "What are you going to do?"
Gu Jiu played with the jade bracelet on his hand.
The jade bracelet is very good in color, with a strong head and emerald green, you like it when you look at it.
She didn't say anything, and no longer gave Cheng Enbo Zhuci any response.
Bullying her for so long, saying "I lost" and trying to do nothing happened, do you really treat her as an idiot?
These days, what is the energy, time, and money she has put in?
Is it air?
How could there be such a person in the world, do you really think that bowing your head and admitting defeat is worth a thousand dollars?
It's not the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, a sentence of "I lost" can cancel everything.
At the beginning, I dared to rely on the old to sell the old, but now don't pretend to be weak and pitiful because of old age.
Respect the old and love the young also score objects.
The hall was very quiet, only the sound of the emperor flipping through the pages and the heavier and heavier breathing of the emperor.
Gu Jiu looked towards Cheng En Bo Zhu's resignation, and she laughed.
Today you are dead. Even if he doesn't die, he will be skinned.
The longer the time, the more frightened Cheng Enbo Zhuci.
The sweat on his forehead dropped, forming a pool of water stains on the floor tiles.
Wei Zhong bowed and stood on the side, looking at Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci, and smiled coldly. When I was arrogant about it two days ago, I didn't expect to have today.
If you dare to point fingers at Jin Wuwei, you must have the consciousness of being cramped.
Tianzi turned to the last page.
Snapped!
The emperor threw away the information in his hand, his face was pale, "Cheng Enbo, are you convicted?"
Cheng En Bi Zhuci opened his mouth, "Weichen is convicted."
The emperor stood up abruptly, walked down the steps, full of anger, kicked Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci's chest, "You damn!"
Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci was kicked to the ground, his chest hurt.
The emperor's kick almost broke his ribs.
He clutched his chest and coughed repeatedly, seemingly bleeding.
"Weichen deserves death!"
At this time, he did not forget to plead guilty.
The emperor burned with anger, "Of course you deserve to die, you deserve to be cut by a thousand swords. My country is corrupted by you moths.
You have done such a big business for so many years, and you haven't even paid a penny of tax. Relying on rich wealth, suppressing peers, cleverly grabbing. Who gave you the courage? talk! "
As soon as the voice fell, he kicked Cheng Enbo's head again.
Cheng Enbo's head was dizzy, and his eyes were full of stars.
He supported his body and stayed awake as much as possible, "Weichen convicts. Weichen ghosts are obsessed, arrogant and arrogant, and only when they get lost will they do things that suppress their peers.
I beg your Majesty to give Weichen another chance to forgive him, and Weichen is willing to make up the tax, a lot of money. Weichen is also willing to support Madam Zhao and help her build the South City Gate. The loyalty of the minister to your majesty is a lesson from heaven and earth! "
Gu Jiu: "..." Fuck, at this time, old fox Cheng Enbo did not forget to shame her.
It's really maddening.
Gu Jiu looked at the emperor, what decision the emperor would make.
The emperor was in a rage, he directly drew his saber and slashed in the air frantically.
"I should kill all of you assholes, copy your homes, and destroy your clan. If one clan is not enough, kill the nine clans, and if one person is not enough, kill a thousand people. If you kill all the assholes, I don’t believe anyone dares to dig me. Corner."
Everyone was terrified.
The emperor is crazy.
What's more terrifying is that the emperor took a sharp knife and slashed madly, afraid that he would chop himself on his head.
The appearance of the emperor is really terrible.
"Weichen is willing to make up one million taels of tax."
Worthy of being the emperor's little uncle, Cheng Enbo Zhuci finally thought of using money to calm the emperor's anger at the critical moment.
He was forced to do so.
He is scared!
Afraid of being hacked to death by the emperor on the spot.
In the situation just now, it is possible to see blood at any time, without any luck.
The emperor was holding a big knife and panting, but he stopped hacking.
He stared at Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci and smiled coldly, "One million?"
Cheng Enbo Zhuci bowed and said: "Yes, yes, Weichen is willing to make up one million taxes."
The emperor smiled contemptuously, "Tell him, how much tax should I pay?"
Hubu Shui Cao: mmp, after waiting so long, it is finally his turn to perform.
The Household Tax Cao first glanced at Cheng Enbo’s Zhu Ci, and then said loudly, "His Majesty, according to investigations, the property registered in the names of Cheng Enbo’s relatives and friends requires a tax of 1.05 million taels of silver, plus A fine of 500,000 yuan, a total of 1.55 million taels."
1.55 million taels?
Cheng Enbo Zhuci gushed blood into his throat, and was swallowed abruptly by him.
He only hates why his mind is so clear at this moment, why didn't he faint?
If he passed out in a coma, he would not have to face such a tragic reality.
The emperor hummed at him, "One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, have you heard it? If you are not happy, I don't mind sending Jinwuwei to copy the house."
Cheng En Bo Zhuci was five years old in an instant, and his waist was bent down, "Weichen convicted. After the Weichen returns, he will make up all taxes and fines as soon as possible."
"I will give you five days to raise money, and I will copy your home for one penny less." The emperor showed no mercy. What little uncle, in front of a million taels of money, all are spicy chicken.
Cheng Enbo Zhu resigned and looked at the household tax officer, "I also ask the household department to cooperate with one or two, and the sealed shop will be released as soon as possible."
The Ministry of Household Tax Cao nodded and agreed, "As long as my uncle promises to pay taxes in the same amount, all shops can be unblocked today."
"The old man will pay taxes exactly as he does." He exhausted all his energy to say this.
After speaking, he fell directly to the ground. He was not in a coma, but was exhausted.
With more than one million taels of income, the emperor's mood changed from a storm to a mild rain.
The emperor looked at Gu Jiu, "When are you going to resume work at the construction site outside Nanchengmen? There are tens of thousands of refugees outside the city who have problems. I take you to ask."
Gu Jiu bowed and said, "As long as the suppliers don't run out of stock or drive up prices, the construction site outside Nanchengmen can resume work at any time."
The emperor said, "Who dares to break your goods?"
"No one, no one!" Cheng Enbo Zhuci said strugglingly, "Ms. Zhao will be out of the palace soon, and all suppliers will supply as usual."
"Oh?" Gu Jiu condescendingly looked at Cheng Enbo who was like a salted fish, "Uncle, really?"
"Naturally it is true."
He struggled to get up. He can admit defeat, but he can't bow his head, lose his arrogance, or be despised.
He could not even accept Gu Jiu's condescending look down.
Although he can't stand still.
Gu Jiu chuckled softly, "The younger generation believes in uncle. Uncle is a believer, and he said that it makes me feel bad, and I really feel bad. If I say normal supply, I believe the supplier will supply it normally."
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci couldn't laugh.
In his heart, ten million beasts rushed by.
The emperor was exhausted and waved his hand to make everyone go away.
Gu Jiu stepped forward, "Uncle wants me to help you out?"
"No!" Cheng Enbo gritted his teeth. Shameless woman, get cheap and sell well.
The emperor is really partial.
The emperor did not believe what he said.
The emperor accepted everything Gu Jiu said. This woman is not simple.
Gu Jiu smiled.
She wanted to say: Bo Cheng Enbo, you did not complain about losing. Your majesty loves money, and you want to fight against your majesty, tax evasion, how can your majesty forgive you.
In the eyes of the emperor, Gu Jiu and Cheng Enbo shared their worries for him and paid taxes truthfully. One will only cause trouble and dare to evade tax.
Just fined Cheng Enbo and didn't ransack his family and exterminate his family. It was already a special kindness for relatives.
If Cheng Enbo didn't know how to constrain, the emperor wouldn't mind copying the earl's mansion.
The emperor is so cruel and ruthless.
Gu Jiu saw through this early in the morning.
Therefore, in front of the emperor, she never talked about benefits, not blood kinship.
...
puff!
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci just walked out of Xingqing Palace, the blood in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and it spewed out instantly.
"Oh, uncle, are you okay? Can you still hold it?" Shen Changshi asked, seemingly concerned, not knowing where he got out of.
The Zhu family members supported Cheng Enbo so that he would not fall.
He waved his hand and said weakly: "Father Shen is worried that the old man can't die."
Shen Changshi laughed, "It's fine if you can't die. Uncle, take care, your majesty's elders are only you and the young man. If you have three strengths and two shortcomings, the young man will make the adults so lonely."
Cheng En Bo Zhu's speech was overwhelmed, almost vomiting blood again.
He endured it, and finally held it back, "Thank you, Father Shen for reminding me that the old man will take care of his body and live a long life."
"Then dare to love it! Our family is waiting for your uncle to live a long life."
After speaking, Changshi Shen waved his hand, and immediately two small yellow doors ran out, carrying Cheng Enbo out of the palace.
Gu Jiu walked ahead, but she walked slowly. Finally, he almost went out of the palace with Cheng Enbo.
She got into the carriage first, and was going to leave.
When she saw Mr. Zhu appearing next to Cheng Enbo, she decided to stay for a while.
Because steward Zhu's face is very solemn.
Butler Zhu was a little flustered, "Uncle, just got the news that our ship was robbed by pirates."
"Has been robbed?" Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci banged, feeling the sky spinning.
"Uncle, what's the matter with you? Come on!"
Cheng Enbo directly vomited blood and passed out into a coma.
The Zhu family's servants lifted the people into the carriage with various hands and hurried away.
Gu Jiu pondered for a while and told Xu Yousi, "Go and find out, what happened to the Zhu family?"
"Small obey orders."
It is certainly not a trivial matter to make Cheng Enbo vomit blood and unconscious.
Maybe she has a chance to get into trouble.
"Go, let's go back to the palace!"
...
Cheng'en Bo House.
Everyone in the whole government is like a bereaved concubine, and the servant girl walked lightly, for fear of being touched.
The imperial doctor diagnosed Cheng Enbo's pulse with a solemn expression.
"Doctor, how is my father's situation?"
"Uncle is very angry, and he has suffered a trauma, and the situation is a bit serious. The old man prescribes two doses of medicine first."
"You have a doctor."
"It should be."
Cheng Enbo's forehead was red and swollen, and there was a bruise mark on his chest. These are all kicked out by the emperor.
After the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine and left, Master Zhu Er slammed his fist on the table, "How can I be defeated? Is your Majesty confused? Why would you stand on Gu Jiu's side?"
"Hugh was talking nonsense."
The weak words are no longer so full of air and full of old air.
As soon as Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci woke up, he heard her second child being speechless.
He yelled and coughed a few more times before saying: "Gu Jiu has settled the stranded refugees for His Majesty, and still pays taxes. What reason does your Majesty have to support our Zhu family? The old man lost a bit, lost. Don't complain."
"Father, shall we give up?"
"Otherwise? Do you want to be ransacked?"
Master Zhu Er shook his whole body, "Your Majesty wants to ransack the house?"
"If you don't pay the tax as much as possible, the next visit will be Jinwuwei." Cheng Enbo said heavily.
He is warning his sons not to do unnecessary things and not to offend your majesty.
Master Zhu's expression was gloomy, "Your Majesty has no affection for our Zhu family. When your Majesty was able to ascend the throne and become emperor, our Zhu family also contributed a lot."
Cheng Enbo said tiredly: "What happened decades ago is boring to mention now. The Zhu family was not the only hero in those days. So many heroes died. Our Zhu family is still enjoying the glory and wealth, so don't complain. Contentment Right!"
Master Zhu asked: "Father, how much tax do we have to pay? How many days do we pay?"
As soon as Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci heard this question, his heart was overwhelmed with discomfort.
Coughing again and again, finally stopped.
His chest is like a broken box, and he has been breathing heavily, "Within five days, he needs to pay 1.55 million taels. Boss, you should hurry up and do this. If you lose a penny, your Majesty will copy our Zhu family. "
Everyone in the Zhu family changed their colors.
Master Zhu Er's eyes reddened, "Did Your Majesty deliberately drive our Zhu family to death? One and one hundred and fifty-five thousand taels, five days to pay, this is to hollow out our family."
Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci was very tired, "Go ahead and do it. It's late, and Jin Wuwei will really come and search the house."
Master Zhu focused his head, "The son will go to raise funds, and the father will cultivate well and strive for a speedy recovery."
Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci nodded, "You are the boss, so you need more snacks."
Master Zhu did not say a word, got up and left.
Master Zhu Er was also sent out.
The steward Zhu carried the decoction and went into the bedroom himself, waiting for Cheng Enbo to drink the medicine.
After drinking the medicine, only the master and servant were left in the room.
Cheng Enbo Zhu Cicai asked: "What happened to the ship being robbed?"
Steward Zhu whispered: "A maritime merchant came from the south and said that pirates had looted sea ships. All three of our ships were robbed, and none of them were spared."
Cheng Enbo gritted his teeth, he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, his heart would spit out blood.
After a long time, he suppressed the smell of rust on his throat, and asked with difficulty: "How much property is estimated on the ship?"
Steward Zhu hesitated for a moment before he said: "It is estimated that there are three or four million taels."
"All robbed?"
"Exactly!"
puff!
Cheng Enbo Zhuci could no longer suppress the rusty smell of his throat, a mouthful of blood spurted, and half of the bed was dyed red.
"Quickly, send someone to the south to find out the news. I want to know the exact news."
