Chapter 76 Interrogation

There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and the spring river is warm and the duck is prophet.

The reed buds are covered with the leech and the reed buds are short, which is exactly when the puffer fish is about to rise.

This poem comes from Su Shi of the Song Dynasty, but this feeling and scene make Xiao Ming feel how consistent it is with this moment.

After walking a distance of acre of land, Xiao Ming returned the ox to the soldier. At this time, he was already exhausted and sweating. Without modern machinery, primitive agriculture, spring plowing and autumn harvest were very tiring.

Lu Fei laughed and walked over, "Your Highness, I thought your Highness could only shoot dogs and horses, but I didn't expect that he would be a good player when doing farm work.

Xiao Ming almost always said this when I was a child, but he reacted and said, "What's the difficulty? He just learned from the soldiers."

Recalling his childhood in his previous life, Xiao Ming even felt sad because he didn't know who his parents were since he was a child, and he had been with the old lady who raised him.

Unfortunately, after he worked for a year, his grandmother also went there.

It is precisely because of this that he didn't have much concern after coming here and quickly got used to it.

"Even so, Your Highness is probably the first prince in the Great Yu Kingdom to cultivate land." Lu Fei laughed and then changed his mind, saying, "Your Highness, this construction corps has no problem in farming production, but you have to train troops in this free time, right? The armor of the Qingzhou Army..."

When working, Lu Fei kept saying something but stopped, and it turned out that he was talking about this.

He said: "What I promised will definitely be done. At the end of next month, the first batch of plate armor, crossbow arrows, and Modao will arrive at the Qingzhou camp."

"Modao? Crossbow arrows, why aren't they bows and arrows?" Xiao Ming just agreed to equipment the Qingzhou army, but Lu Fei was not sure about the specific equipment.

Now that Xiao Ming said it, he couldn't help but wonder.

"It's too early today. I'll take you to see what Modao is tomorrow?" Xiao Ming said.

Lu Fei said in surprise: "Thank you Your Highness." The Qingzhou army was really scared of poverty. When they saw the weapons and equipment, they were as excited as when they saw the wolf and the meat.

Washing the mud on your legs in the water of Xiaoqing River, Xiao Ming got up and was about to leave. When he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw a huge black shadow rushing over.

He looked carefully and found that it turned out to be a huge carp.

After the carp, a large group of fish swam over. The pollution-free natural environment allowed the fish here to reproduce freely, which suddenly made him feel like a pastoral feeling of "a lonely boat, a man in a straw hat", in his heart.

He was busy during this period, but proper leisure was also necessary. He wondered if he wanted Chen Qi to hook himself to fish.

Thinking along the way, Xiao Ming walked towards the royal palace. Now that his fiefdom is in a difficult situation, farming production is naturally part, but breeding is also part of agriculture.

This part has been ignored for a long time. Many people say that the Song Dynasty lost the horse farming land and caused insufficient number of war horses, but the chaotic horse government of the Song Dynasty also found it difficult to shirk responsibility.

Xiao Ming also felt the importance of the breeding industry from this incident of buying plowing cattle.

So after farming, he gave the production teams of various prefectures and counties the task of raising cattle, sheep, mule, horse, chicken, fish and pigs, and everything is not missing.

When he returned to the palace, Xiao Ming had a simple meal and was about to write a decree about breeding. At this time, Zi Yuan came over and said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, when you are not here in the afternoon, Your Highness's people arrived at the palace in the afternoon and asked me to report to Your Highness. King Wei will return to Qingzhou in five days to pay a visit to Your Highness?"

"The King of Wei visited me?" Xiao Ming seemed to have heard a huge joke.

This Uncle Wei has never given him any substantial help since he came here. Even three years ago, he did the same thing as the local wealthy family.

The troops gathered to defend themselves at the border, but did not send one soldiers or another to Xiao Ming's fiefdom.

Moreover, he made a move to plowing ox, constantly raising the price of plowing ox, causing himself to lose more than 100,000 taels of silver.

Now he would condescend to visit him.

After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ming immediately understood that the purpose of the King of Wei was not simple, and the merchant arrested by Lu Fei from Cangzhou was still in the Qingzhou prison.

The King of Wei came here so soon. It seems that the merchant has a lot of goods in his stomach, so he needs to examine it first.

After throwing down the paper and pen, Xiao Ming sent someone to find Lu Fei and interrogated the businessman named Zhou Ziyu overnight.

Qingzhou Prison.

This is a prison cell located in the street next to the Qingzhou Army. It is under the jurisdiction of the Qingzhou Government Office. Usually, the city constables who catch criminals will be detained here.

Because next door is the Qingzhou Army’s garrison, few people in the Qingzhou prison have always dared to make decisions.

Therefore, Lu Fei would boldly imprison the merchant in it.

"Your Highness, this is that businessman." Lu Fei said

The dim lights in the Qingzhou prison were swaying, and the corridors of the prison cells were dark and wet, with disgusting smell of rottenness, mixed with rotten food and nauseating feces.

Zhou Ziyu was detained at the innermost point. Unlike the other prisoners' listlessness, he looked relaxed and contented, as if he could leave at any time.

"Zhou Ziyu, you are happy." Lu Fei roared.

At this time, Zhou Ziyu, who was lying on the ground on his side, stood up and walked to the prison gate. He glanced at Lu Fei, then looked at Xiao Ming, and bowed: "I guess this is Your Highness, Your Highness, Zhou Ziyu, a grass-roots man, has seen Your Highness."

Xiao Ming stared at Zhou Ziyu with interesting interest and said, "How do you know that I am the King of Qi?"

"The only person who can let the Captain Lu Fei follow behind this Qingzhou City is probably His Highness the King of Qi."

"You have observed carefully. It seems that you are also a smart person. Then I will say it straightforwardly, have you been instructed by the King of Wei to smuggle war horses? What is the purpose of the King of Wei to smuggle war horses?"

Zhou Ziyu laughed at the sound of this: "Your Highness, do you think I will tell you this at the risk of offending the King of Wei?"

"Aren't you afraid of offending me?" Xiao Ming said coldly.

"Shu Caomin said bluntly, Your Highness, do you think you are more important than the King of Wei in the heart of the emperor? If you choose one to survive between the King of Wei and His Highness, you say that the Emperor would choose the King of Wei with a wealthy and large army, or guard a dilapidated fiefdom and worthless palace... " Zhou Ziyu said teasingly, with contempt for Xiao Ming hidden deep in his eyes.

Zhou Ziyu's arrogant attitude angered Lu Fei. Lu Fei raised his horse whip and whipped Zhou Ziyu hard. With a scream, Zhou Ziyu covered his left face and staggered back. Blood flowed down Zhou Ziyu's left face.

Lu Fei was furious, "Bold Dog Slave, you dare to talk to your Highness like this, even if you are the King of Wei, you are three heads and six arms, and I, Lu Fei, are not afraid.

After saying that, Lu Fei was about to whip down again, but was stopped by Xiao Ming.

Zhou Ziyu's words are very unpleasant, but it is true that Xiao Wenxuan, the king of the country, puts profit first in everything.
