Chapter 384: What does spending a lot of money to arrest Mr. Jia have to do with me, Mr. Zhuang?
Soon Zhuang Jia showed a lewd and greedy smile: "I wonder how much money the king intends to allocate to the ministers to investigate this matter?"
The King of Chu glanced at Zhuang Jia: " Ten taels of gold is not enough for you to investigate for several months?”
Zhuang Jia was stunned: “Isn’t this ten taels of gold a reward from the king?”
“This, this, this, Maybe I got it wrong!”
The King of Chu looked at Zhuang Jia calmly with his eyes lowered. Zhuang Jia slowly lowered his head, and the smile and astonishment on his face became increasingly difficult to support.
It wasn’t until Zhuang Jia’s legs were trembling slightly that the King of Chu opened his mouth and said, “Zhuang Jia has made great progress in recent days.”
“How dare you bargain with me?”
Zhuang Jia hurriedly explained: "I don't dare!"
"I absolutely don't dare!"
"It's just that I really don't have many manpower in Chu, and my ability is low."
"I ask for money, but I just want to develop more manpower for the king to drive!"
The King of Chu Ning Chu asked in a low voice: "The manpower you develop are the dancing girls in the female village?"
After re-assuming the identity of 'Zhuang Jia', Zhuang Jia began to look for flowers and willows in Helu City to help him. He killed countless young girls from poor families.
Even now, Zhuang Jia's body is still stained with the strong fragrance of rouge.
Many of the aid funds came from funds allocated to him by King Chu of Chu.
Now being pointed out by the King of Chu, Zhuang Jia knelt down in panic: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, spare your life!"
Zhuang Jia A thin layer of sweat broke out on Jia's forehead, which looked extremely bright under the candlelight.
The King of Chu suddenly laughed loudly: "Why are you so panicked?"
"I'm just joking!"
The King of Chu stood up with his crotch on his back, grabbed Zhuang Jia's arms with both hands to help him up.
Then, I didn’t help him up.
Zhuang Jia’s legs were so shaky that he could skip subject three, unable to support him to stand up straight.
But Zhuang Jia still forced out a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is really funny!"
When the king of Chu saw this, he laughed in his heart.
Be greedy for money, lustful, unjust, timid and cowardly!
I was just threatening, but this person was so panicked.
Is this the level of Qin’s candidates?
But that’s okay.
It is precisely because this person is so despicable that he can betray Qin first, then betray Young Master Qi, and finally be used by others!
The King of Chu, Fu Chu, was completely unwilling to come into contact with such a lowly person.
But in order to better control Zhuang Jia, King Chu Chu used his strength again, lifted Zhuang Jia to stand upright, and patted Zhuang Jia's arm hard: "I also know that it is difficult for you."
“The ten taels of gold are just a reward from me.”
“In addition, I will give you another twenty thousand yuan for you to investigate this matter.”
"Okay?"
Zhuang Jia nodded frantically: "Enough! Absolutely enough!"
"I will definitely use all the 20,000 yuan to buy people and place candidates. I will never give a copper shell to those dancing girls again!”
The king of Chu smiled warmly: “How can a man not have a beautiful woman to accompany him?”
“It’s just a small matter. .”
"Since I am so kind to you, I will give you dozens of beauties as gifts!"
Zhuang Jia knelt down with gratitude and handed over his hands: "Thank you for your favor!"
" No matter where Mr. Na Jia is hiding, I will find Mr. Na Lao Shizi even if my body is bruised and my body is smashed to pieces."
"Let him kneel before the king and let him do whatever he wants!"
The King of Chu held his cud and smiled slightly.
I'm just being polite, why did you agree?
Fortunately, there are only dozens of beauties on the left and right, so give them as a gift.
The King of Chu smiled again with his cud in his hands, supported Zhuang Jia with both hands, and said warmly like an old friend: "You are an important minister, why do you do this?"
"Get up!"
< br>“Don’t kneel down easily!”
Zhuang Jia stood up quickly this time, nodding his head with gratitude: "Master, take your orders!"
Mr. Jia has already knelt in front of you and is at your disposal.
It was you who made Mr. Jia get up!
The mission has been completed, and I have a clear conscience in taking the reward!
The King of Chu nodded with satisfaction: "Good!"
"It's windy and cold at night."
"My dear, go and take a shower and change your clothes quickly. Don't catch a cold."
Zhuang Jia's eyes were red and he said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
With another bow, Zhuang Jia turned around and left the hall.
When he was going out, he happened to meet Xiong Xun, who was waiting for the embarrassment. Zhuang Jia quickly showed a flattering smile: "Xiong wailing the embarrassment!"
Xiong Xun glanced at Zhuang Jia: "When doing things for the king, don't do it half-heartedly."
"I have been watching you!"
Zhuang Jia quickly apologized and smiled: "No. Dare! Don’t dare!”
“Zhuang is extremely loyal to the king!”
Xiong Xun just stepped into the palace: “Your Majesty!” br>
After bowing his hands in a salute, Xiong Xun said in a deep voice: "Zhuang Jia was nowhere to be found between January and April this year."
"The people who were tracking him actually lost his location. "Should we be more careful about him?"
In Xiong Xun's opinion, Zhuang Jia is absolutely sure that he can get rid of his men and disappear without a trace for three months. He won't be as simple as he appears.
But Zhuang Jia was first a Qin spy, then worked for Xiong Qi, and now he is being used by King Chu of Chu, so he has no loyalty at all.
We must be wary of people like this who are capable but not loyal!
The King of Chu smiled and said: "This man is the candidate of Qin after all."
"If such a dishonest, greedy and lustful villain has no ability, How could the State of Qin use him? "
"As for the past three months? This person went to the State of Qin under my order. It is normal for you to find no trace."
< br>"The most important task of your department now is to find out the strength and strength of each tribe, and to find out who Mr. Jia is!"
"There is no need for a villain like Zhuang Jia to invest more manpower, just keep an eye on him."
In King Chu's case, Zhuang Jia's weaknesses and needs are very obvious, and it is not difficult to control them.
And such a small person does not need him to put in more effort.
What he really needs to be prepared for is the powerful Qin who is on the sidelines, the restless nobles in the country, and Mr. Jia who is hiding somewhere and wants to subvert his regime!
Xiong Xun solemnly raised his hands: "Wei!"
"After Ling Yin reported the report, I ordered my subordinates to collect the information."
"The water bandit's name is to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, but in fact he has been cultivated by the Zhao family for a long time."
"And the Zhao family has been cultivating him for a long time." This is not the only group of mountain bandits and water bandits.”
“Any small or medium-sized nobles who dare to challenge the Zhao family, or if the Zhao family takes a fancy to that family’s property or women, the Zhao family will order their subordinates. The mountain bandits and water bandits slaughtered him. "
"Four years ago, the mountain bandits attacked Xicheng and killed Xicheng County Magistrate Huang Si. It was the bandits under Zhao's command. "
Bandit, but a very useful knife!
Many things that are inconvenient for the powerful can be entrusted to thieves and bandits.
Thieves and bandits kill people, and powerful people seize wealth. There is a clear division of labor and everyone benefits.
Many mountain bandits and water bandits succumbed to the coercion and inducement of the nobles and were secretly used by the nobles.
Some mountain bandits and water bandits are even teams sent by the nobles!
The water in the green forest of Chu Land is very deep!
The King of Chu said in a low voice: "It makes sense."
"If there were no moths in the court, how could our great Chu suppress the bandits for hundreds of years but never be able to wipe them all out? !”
“For the sake of profit, some people go to any lengths, which is disgusting!”
Xiong Xun said with a smile: “But this time, they are anxious.”
"If the bandits from all over the country really get the Chang'an plow, they will have the confidence to survive alone without the nobles."
"They may even bite the master!"
"I think this time all the nobles will work together. Let’s work together to eliminate this internal disadvantage for our great Chu!”
The King of Chu did not show a smile.
Standing up, the King of Chu walked to the bedside with his cud on his back, looked up at the moonlight outside the window, and said quietly: "Three hundred and twenty thousand soldiers and horses, just pick them up at your fingertips."
"These are just the soldiers and horses that can be used without delaying the autumn harvest of the nobles."
"If they suffer severe pain, I believe they can still provide another 320,000, or even More soldiers and horses!”
“My people in Dachu are really strong!”
This time, the nobles sent out troops and grain and generals for their own benefit, and there was no need for the king of Chu to bear any responsibility. Waste any thought.
This is not only a reward for the goodwill of the King of Chu, but also not a bit of a shock to the King of Chu.
How could the King of Chu bear the cud calmly?
The king of Chu, Fu Chu, was very generous to the nobles, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was flattering.
However, King Chu of Chu was a regicide king who ascended the throne!
How could he be a submissive, groveling person with no ambition!
Xiong Xun nervously handed over his hands: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
There was no reason why Xiong Xun was not nervous.
The lessons learned from the mistakes of Chu Wang Han and Chu Wang You are at hand. Xiong Xun does not want Chu Wang to follow in the footsteps of Chu Wang Han and Chu Wang You, let alone follow in the footsteps of Li Yuan. Follow in the footsteps!
The King of Chu smiled behind his back and said, "Don't worry."
"Brother Wang is so stupid that he wants to fight against such a powerful enemy."
"I have no idea. This thought.”
"If I really want to be an enemy of the people of Chu, how can I help the people to block Chang'an Li?"
Xiong Xun breathed a sigh of relief: "The king is wise!"
But the king of Chu lost his power. A stupid smile hung on his face, but murderous intent existed in his heart.
If the Chu State can proceed step by step according to the current plan, the strength of the Chu State’s nobles will surely skyrocket.
If it stopped there, King Chu would not say anything.
For the sake of the great Chu, King Chu was willing to suffer a little injustice.
But with the exodus of Chang'an Li and the flight of the servants, the power of the Chu nobles will quickly decline after reaching a peak.
At that time, it will no longer be possible to stop Chu’s decline!
The King of Chu did not hesitate to bear the eternal infamy to seize the throne, but he did not want to be the king of subjugation!
So the King of Chu must not sit back and wait for death!
The King of Chu said seriously: "Of course, if we, the great Chu, send troops to suppress the bandits, it will inevitably cause domestic turmoil."
"With Qin's greed and bellicosity, Qin will never give up. This opportunity."
The King of Chu took out a bamboo tube from the table and handed it to Xiong Xun solemnly with both hands: "Ai Qing, go to Zhao Kingdom in person."
"Be sure to hand over the handwritten letter written by me to Zhao Wangyan, and ask Zhao Wangyan to further increase his troops to threaten Qin's border, or even directly attack Qin."
"This will help our great Chu to strive for internal integration. Opportunity.”
Xiong Xun looked stunned and pointed at himself: "I?"
"I'm just dying!"
Let me go find out the information, I have rich experience.
But let me be a lobbyist?
I don’t have that ability!
The King of Chu looked at Xiong Xun sincerely: "I believe in you!"
These four simple words, without even adding the title of 'Aiqing', made Xiong Xun's blood boil.
Xiong Xun suddenly handed over his hand: "I am willing to die for the king!"
