Anyi, Han Palace.

King Han Xin gently lifted the chin of his favorite concubine Feng Miaonu and said, "Love concubine, I will discuss something with you."

Feng Miaonu looked at King Han Xin and said coquettishly: "King, you just need to ask me if you have anything to do."

"Ahem, if it's something else, I'll give you the order, but I really have to discuss this matter with you." King Han Xin of Han coughed twice, and then said, "That's right, recently a northern sable horse dealer came to Anyi. This guy can get thousands of good horses for me, but he said clearly that he only collected gold."

"What, gold?" Feng Miaonu immediately changed her face and said angrily, "Master, can you take back all the gold, silver and jewelry you rewarded to my slave before?"

It’s no wonder Feng Miaonu thought so, because almost all the gold in China was plundered by the Chu State before. There were few gold mines in South Korea and the output was extremely low. In just these years, the Chu State suddenly began to release gold to the outside world, and South Korea had some gold, but it was only enough for the King of Han to reward concubines and trusted ministers in the harem.

Today, in addition to Chu, which can rely on its strong industrial and commercial foundation, be able to turn hands and turn hands into rain, tighten or relax gold at will, other countries can only obtain some gold through trade with Hu Hu in Hexi and Western Regions. This is also the main reason why Chu decided to attack the merchants in Guanzhong this time.

Therefore, when King Han Xin talked about gold, Feng Miaonu instinctively believed that he wanted to take back the gold he had given before.

King Han Xin shook his hands and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, where is my beloved concubine? The gold, silver and jewelry are given by me. How could I ask you back? That's right? Didn't your clan brother knock Bai Mo Yizhu hard in Guanzhong this time? Isn't I greedy for too much, just let him even out 10,000 taels."

Seeing Feng Miaonu pondering silently, King Han Xin of Han said again: "Of course, I will definitely not make it difficult for my beloved concubine. Didn't your brother say that he had already stole the skills of creating liquor from Chu State and planned to open a shop near Shaoshui? To make wine, it would definitely require a lot of food. I can take out 500,000 stones of grain to exchange for him for this 10,000 taels of gold, how about it?"

Feng Miaonu then turned anger into joy and said in a charming manner: "King. Look at what you said, my business is just your business. If you need gold, just give me an edict to my brother in my family. What do you say that you can take out 500,000 stones of grain to exchange with him? It's a lot of surprises."

"This is a must, hehe." King Han Xin of Han whispered a lewd smile. His pair of Lushan claws had already touched Feng Miaonu's bulging chest. Feng Miaonu was swaying and slapped his charming eyes while throwing his charming eyes. He also gently slapped the weapon that was gradually rising under Han Xin's crotch through the brocade robe.

Xianyang, Weiyang Palace.

"What, Xiangfu, you want to kill Lu Shizhi?!" Liu Heng stood up suddenly, his face full of shock.

Bai Mo said in a deep voice: "In order to resist the official business of salt and iron, the uncle and nephew of the Lu family ignored the overall situation of the government and maliciously raised the price of grain with Guanzhong merchants, which caused a large-scale grain shortage. After the minister intervened, he did not hesitate to lead the wolf into the house and secretly colluded with the spies of Chu to harm the interests of the Han Dynasty. All these rebellious actions can be said to be a crime that cannot be punished."

Bai Mo wanted to kill Lu Tai the most. However, Lu Tai was the head of the Lu family after all, and he was a meritorious official. His identity was really extraordinary. Even if Bai Mo monopolizes the power, he had to think twice if he wanted to kill Lu Tai without saying it. Even Chen Ping would not agree with him killing Lu Tai, but Chen Ping completely agreed with killing Lu Shi's authority.

Seeing that Bai Mo had also involved the Grand Marshal Lu Tai, Liu Heng suddenly changed his face and said, "This is Xiangfu, this matter is so important, it is really a big deal. I wonder if Xiangfu has conclusive evidence?"

"Of course there is conclusive evidence." Chen Ping on the other side put a large stack of case files on Liu Heng's desk and said, "King, this is the evidence collected by Hei Bingtai about the malicious raising of grain prices by the uncle and nephew of the Lu family and the merchants in Guanzhong, and the secretly colluding with the spies of the Chu State. There are both human and physical evidence, which can be said to be as ironclad as a mountain of evidence."

Liu Heng flipped through the thick case file and said bitterly: "Father Xiang, Grand Master, do you have to do this?"

Bai Mo bowed to Liu Heng for a long time and said solemnly: "King, without rules, there will be no order. If the country cannot be disciplined, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the world. The reason why there was a shortage of food in Guanzhong this time was because these giant merchants and big merchants could not be disciplined. Therefore, my king must use Lu Shi's correct law to serve as a warning to others. If it is not severely punished, the order in Guanzhong will be in chaos."

"Oh." Liu Heng sighed softly and waved his hand, "I am allowed to report."

Sima Ji entered the study in panic and said to Sima Zhong: "Second brother, it's a disaster, a disaster!"

Sima Zhong was frightened when he heard this, so he quickly put down his brush and asked, "Brother, what happened?"

Sima Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead and gasped, "I just saw Lu Shizhi being arrested on the street."

"Ah, Lu Shizhi was arrested?" Sima Zhong's face changed drastically, and he said in disbelief, "What's the charge of An?"

Sima Ji said: "It is said that it is instigating Guanzhong merchants to maliciously raise the price of grain, which has caused the grain shortage in Xianyang and starved hundreds of people to death. There is also secretly colluding with spies from Chu and plotting to treason!"

"What?!" Sima Zhong changed his face more and more, and said in a lost voice. "So, the fact that each family secretly borrowed gold from Eumu Ya has been found out by Hei Bingtai?"

Of course, Sima Zhong knew that it was true that the Lu family secretly colluded with the Chu State. Not only the Lu family, but their Sima family, the other twenty honorary relatives and more than two hundred merchants all borrowed gold from the Eumuya, but the number was different. Now even Lu Shizhi has been arrested. How can the rest of the Lu family have been spared?

A huge panic tide came, and cold sweat suddenly emerged from Sima Zhong's forehead.

Subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, Sima Zhonghu asked again: "Where is Lu Tai? What is his reaction?"

Sima Ji sighed and said anxiously: "Lu Tai's Taiwei's mansion was also surrounded by the Imperial Guard. Bai Mo, the executioner who killed people without blinking, is really going to attack us."

"This is how dare Bai Mo?!" Sima Zhongxin was both timid and said in a daze, "More than 300 merchants, more than 20 noble families and more than 20 honorary families, Bai Mo really dares to kill? Aren't he afraid of stirring up a mutiny? He is not afraid of causing turmoil in the court? He is not afraid of Chu taking advantage of the situation?!"

Sima Ji said anxiously: "Second brother, when is it now? Are you still lucky? As the saying goes, you are not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of one thing. You should go to Hanzhong to avoid the limelight!"

Before he finished speaking, the old butler suddenly hurried in and reported in panic: "The head of the family, it's not good, and the big thing is not good. Suddenly, a large group of officials came to surround our Sima Mansion."

"Ah?" Sima Ji was shocked when he heard this, but Sima Zhong collapsed to the ground.

The old housekeeper quickly came forward to help Sima Zhong up from the ground, and said, "The head of the family, the official army also said that it was the Prime Minister who invited you to the Prime Minister's Mansion to have a drink."

"Drinking?" Sima Zhong smiled miserably and said, "I'm afraid I'll just be drunk after I'm dead?"

#############

In the lobby of the Prime Minister, dozens of banquets were already set up on both sides of the left and right sides. Sima Zhong, Sima Ji brothers and dozens of well-known honorable relatives, the heads of aristocratic families or merchants looked like iron, and were kneeling on the straw mat behind the desk with a trembling look next to each table of banquets, with a hand pressing the hilt of the sword, with a cold expression on the imperial guards.

In addition, there were more than 100 tables in the patio outside the lobby and the corridors on both sides of the left and right sides. Through the wide open door of the prime minister's mansion, you can clearly see that the patio inside and the corridors on both sides of the left and right sides of the courtyard outside were also filled with dense banquets. It is easy for those who are interested to judge that all the families involved in the stockpiling of grain have arrived!

In the huge prime minister's mansion, there were more than 500 banquet tables, and it was silent, and the needles could be heard!

While waiting for a suffocating moment, the Imperial Guard guarding the side door suddenly shouted: "The Prime Minister is here..."

Sima Zhong, Sima Ji, more than 20 honorary relatives, more than 200 heads of aristocratic families and more than 300 merchants all knelt down from the mat, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, turned to the side door of the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Under the gaze of everyone, Bai Mo entered.

"Everyone, let you wait for a long time." As everyone expected, Bai Mo was covered in spring breeze and bowed to everyone in the hall repeatedly, "Sorry, I'm so sorry."

However, Bai Mo's next words suddenly made the entire hall fall into a dead silence.

"I just went to the Caishikou Superintendent to kill a traitor, so it took a delay." Bai Mo smiled slightly, then waved his hand outside the hall and shouted, "Come on, present Lu Shizhi's head."

Then the two teams of imperial guards protected an imperial guards into the gate, passed the middle gate, and went straight to the lobby. The imperial guards held a wooden plate with both hands, and a ferocious head was posed on the plate, and blood even dripped down through the wooden basin, but who else would be the head of Lu Shizhi?

In the lobby, there was a sound of breathing in the patio and in the corridors on both sides of the left and right sides. A few timid people collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and twitching all over.

Bai Mo's eyes were stern, and everyone in the hall swept across the faces one by one, but no one dared to look at him.

The suffocating depression lasted for half a stick of incense. Bai Mo suddenly smiled brightly and said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic. The secret connection between Chu State was verified by the Black Ice Platform. It was actually Lu Shizhi who did it alone and had nothing to do with you. Today's banquet was shocked by everyone, hahaha."

In the lobby, there was a whisper in the courtyard and the corridors on both sides of the left and right sides. Everyone, including Sima Zhong and Sima Ji brothers, suspected that something was wrong with their ears. Lu Shizhi was executed, which shows that Bai Mo had already grasped the ironclad evidence of the secret connection between the Chu State. Bai Mo actually let it go so gently? (To be continued)
