Queen Ma did not stay long.
I've seen both sons, and it's nothing serious.
The cloak that was to be given to Su Jing was also given away. The most important thing was to tell Zhu Yuanzhang about the corruption of the disaster relief food.
Queen Ma left, and Su Jing appeared in front of Zhu Biao again.
"Your mother left in a hurry, why didn't you stay longer?"
Su Jing asked Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao replied: "There is something going on at home, so my mother will go back first."
Su Jing nodded and didn't ask any more questions. It was just a casual question.
However, Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing at this moment and said: "Master Su, the thousands of extra stones of grain produced by Liu's Rice Shop are actually disaster relief grains."
There were no probing questions, but the core situation was explained directly.
Su Jing nodded and said, "That's probably true. At least based on the information I got, this batch of food is for the people affected by the flood in Zhejiang."
"How dare they!"
Zhu Biao got confirmation from Su Jing, and his anger was completely undisguised.
"Students don't understand why there are such audacious people who dare to embezzle the food that saves people's lives!"
Zhu Biao asked Su Jing. He really couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.
Su Jing, on the other hand, was much calmer. He said, "Why don't you dare to do something that is worthless?"
Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, Su Jing had seen and heard many similar things in her previous life.
"But Master Su, aren't these people afraid at all? Aren't they afraid that the guillotine will fall on their heads?"
Zhu Biao said angrily that if a corrupt official was in front of him, he might have already raised the knife and dropped it.
"fear?"
Su Jing shook her head and said: "That's the emotion they only feel after being caught. Before that, they were only excited."
Su Jing's ears got calluses after listening to various confessions in her past life.
Although the contents are sincere, they all have a common characteristic, that is, they confessed in prison.
"Then Master Su, what do you think we should do with these people?"
Zhu Biao asked again.
Although he is angry now, what he wants more is how to completely solve this problem.
"Kill."
Su Jing said lightly.
"It really deserves to be killed!"
Zhu Biao said harshly: "But the student remembers that Master Su said that killing cannot fundamentally solve the problem. No matter how severe the punishment is, the person who should be greedy in the future will still be greedy."
Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said, "So what? Killing them will at least give an explanation to the people who were affected by the disaster. Otherwise, will they be allowed to take advantage of their crimes and make meritorious service?"
"The method of decapitation does not have a radical effect, but at least it is not useless at all."
"If one day, when such a situation arises, and these people cannot be killed, then Ming Dynasty will probably be doomed."
A court can have zero tolerance for corruption. No matter what, at least this attitude is worth promoting.
Zhu Biao listened to Su Jing's words, nodded and said: "Master Su is right, kill him if he deserves it!"
"Master Su, the students want to investigate and find out who Liu's Rice Shop is colluding with. They even dare to use disaster relief food. The students will not let go of anyone involved."
Now it is no longer a matter between Liu's Rice Shop and Ping'an Rice Shop.
Zhu Biao no longer looked at this matter as Su Jing's student, but as the prince of the Ming Dynasty.
"good."
Su Jing nodded and said: "I can help you investigate, but it is only limited to verification. The actual handling is still up to you."
Su Jing has a very clear understanding of her identity.
He is just a businessman, and he may have some means, but if he really wants to be a lone warrior, it is unrealistic.
This student of his has an unusual family background, and he is willing to take action, so it might be a good idea to help him himself.
"Thank you Master Su."
Zhu Biao bowed solemnly towards Su Jing.
This matter was verified by Su Jing and Gong Weilang through dual routes. Zhu Biao believed that absolutely no one would be able to escape the sanctions.
"Okay, I know you are angry, but if you really want to punish them, then you have to think about how to prevent them from destroying criminal evidence."
Su Jing said slowly: "When dealing with corruption, the most important thing is to have evidence. Otherwise, even if you are in a high position, you will inevitably be convinced."
Su Jing did not know the identity of Prince Zhu Biao, but he still hoped that Zhu Biao could protect him.
This kind of thing usually involves a lot of things.
"Thank you Master Su for your concern. The students know."
Zhu Biao bowed and thanked her. He understood that this was Su Jing's good intention.
Of course, if Su Jing knew that Zhu Biao was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he would only say one sentence.
Just rush!
With Lao Zhu, the thickest thigh in the Ming Dynasty, everything Zhu Biao could do was unimpeded.
Su Jing and Gong Weilang both used their methods, but these two groups were not the only ones who stood up to Liu Zhaoxiang.
Lishui County.
Liu Zhaoxiang sat in the empty granary of his home, still a little hesitant.
Although he said it decisively at the time, Su Jing's words still shocked him.
God knows what you did.
If you want others not to know, you have to do nothing unless you do it yourself.
These two sentences lingered tightly in Liu Zhaoxiang's mind.
Has Su Jing discovered something?
No, it's impossible!
This grain transfer is extremely secret. Su Jing is just a businessman in Lishui County and does not have such extraordinary abilities.
But what if?
Liu Zhaoxiang's heart was at war with nature and man, and he was hesitant.
Because he knew that the risk would be several times greater if he did it again, which would no longer be in line with his principle of caution.
But if I don’t come, I’m afraid Liu’s Rice Shop will be completely finished.
Although Liu's Rice Shop made a lot of money by selling grain, in fact, those thousands of stones of grain were obtained on credit.
Moreover, the grain sold is lower than the normal purchase price, which is also a loss.
If you can't make money back later, Liu's Rice Shop will collapse in an instant.
This is my family fortune for half my life!
"Dad, didn't you say there was a way? Why are you still staying in this warehouse?"
Liu Jiasheng came to Liu Zhaoxiang and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Now he is really anxious.
As a second-generation young man, he couldn't bear to live without money.
"Why are you so anxious? Do you really think my method is that simple?"
Liu Zhaoxiang said angrily.
My son is so useless.
However, Liu Zhaoxiang's angry rebuke had no effect this time.
Liu Jiasheng said: "Dad, my son is not stupid. Your method must be illegal, right, but you should use it!"
"If I run out of money, I might as well die!"
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
The words of his son Liu Jiasheng directly stimulated Liu Zhaoxiang and became the last straw.
"You're right, if you have no money, you might as well die!"
Liu Zhaoxiang said viciously, and then stood up.
Liu Jiasheng followed Liu Zhaoxiang. Just as Liu Zhaoxiang was about to speak, he said: "Dad, let your son follow you this time. If you die, your son will die with you."
Hearing this, Liu Zhaoxiang looked at his son with a slightly strange look.
Although this son is stupid, he is still his biological son.
Lishui County Water Transport Department.
This is a subordinate organization of the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Water Transport Department, which is in charge of various water transport matters.
This grain transport ship is naturally within their scope of responsibility.
Corruption involving grain ships cannot be avoided no matter what.
In the back room of the Water Transport Department, Liu Zhaoxiang and his son Liu Jiasheng were standing respectfully in front of Zhou Limin, the water transport envoy.
"Boss Liu, why do you have time to come to my place again? Are you here to settle the payment?"
Zhou Limin looked at Liu Zhaoxiang and asked lightly.
Zhou Limin sold thousands of stones of grain to Liu Zhaoxiang at a price that was not low at all.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the risk.
"This villain is just a small businessman. How dare he call himself boss in front of Mr. Zhou?"
Liu Zhaoxiang first devalued himself, and then said: "Mr. Zhou, this villain came here to buy another boatload of food from you."
Um?
When Zhou Limin heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he looked at Liu Zhaoxiang with a stern look in his eyes:
"Liu Zhaoxiang, do you know what you are talking about?"
Buy another boatload of disaster relief food?
Although this kind of thing is costless and profitable, doing it once is already the limit.
The continuous capsizing of ships, even if it is true, must definitely be held accountable.
Don't make it fake.
This business is a profit-free business, but if your life is gone, no matter how much money you have, it means nothing.
Zhou Limin is different from Liu Zhaoxiang. He has not been forced to a dead end yet.
As the water transport envoy of the Water Transport Department, he can make a lot of money. This time, it was lard that fooled his heart and led to such a wave.
In fact, after doing it, he started to feel scared.
The risk is too great!
Now Liu Zhaoxiang told him to do it again. Zhou Limin's first reaction was that the other party was crazy.
"Master Zhou, of course the villain knows, but the villain has nothing to do."
Liu Zhaoxiang turned to Zhou Limin and said in a low voice: "You must have heard about what happened to the villain and Ping'an Mihang these days."
"As long as there is another boatload of food, the villain can completely defeat Ping'an Rice Store. When the time comes, I promise you to increase the profit share by 10%, no, 30%!"
Liu Zhaoxiang is no longer thinking about making money, but overcoming the difficulties first.
However, such a promise is completely meaningless to Zhou Limin.
"Liu Zhaoxiang, I think you are crazy, get out of here!"
Zhou Limin's expression changed, he was going to drive them away immediately.
He really didn't dare to do it again. This was no longer a matter of profit sharing.
"Master Zhou, please!"
Liu Zhaoxiang knelt down directly towards Zhou Limin and said: "As long as one boat, no, half a boat will do, I guarantee that as long as Ping'an Mihang is defeated, everything will be fine!"
Liu Zhaoxiang looked like a groveling pleading, but Zhou Limin had already made up his mind, so naturally he would not agree.
"Liu Zhaoxiang, if you don't get out, don't blame me for being rude!"
Zhou Limin had already stood up and didn't care about Liu Zhaoxiang's prayer.
Looking at Liu Zhaoxiang's eyes was like looking at a disgusting dog.
This scene gave Liu Jiasheng a huge impact on the side.
In front of him, his father will always have that majestic and tall image. Even if he loses his temper, he will never be like this.
He suddenly walked to Liu Zhaoxiang's side and helped Liu Zhaoxiang up: "Dad, let's go."
"Jiasheng, what are you talking about? Kneel down with me and beg Mr. Zhou, otherwise our family will be doomed!"
Liu Zhaoxiang said to Liu Jiasheng, as if he had regained some dignity.
Zhou Limin said coldly: "Liu Zhaoxiang, learn from your son and get out of here!"
Liu Jiasheng raised his head slightly, looked at Zhou Limin and said, "Master Zhou, right? If my father and I come out of this house, don't even think about it. If my Liu family falls, I will definitely drag you into trouble. Just wait!" "
At this time, Liu Jiasheng showed his fierce appearance, and he looked like he was going to die together.
After hearing this, Zhou Limin's expression also changed.
The collapse of the Liu family had nothing to do with him. At most, it was because he couldn't make any money this time.
But in fact, he has already received some benefits.
It’s just that I don’t earn as much as I originally planned, so the problem isn’t that big.
But if the Liu family really ignored it and went to report and expose themselves, then there would be no need to think about their official title as a water transport envoy, and even their heads would definitely fall off.
He really didn't expect that Liu Jiasheng looked young, but had such a crazy side.
Liu Zhaoxiang reacted immediately when he saw this scene.
The Liu family and Zhou Limin were actually on the same boat.
Since groveling and begging is useless, direct and decisive threats are also a method.
"Liu Zhaoxiang, your son is crazy, are you crazy too?"
Zhou Limin looked at Liu Zhaoxiang and shouted angrily.
Liu Zhaoxiang stood up slowly and said: "Mr. Zhou, this villain is indeed crazy. If Mr. Zhou is not willing to help with this, then we, father and son, will have to leave immediately."
The dominant relationship changed directly because of Liu Jiasheng's words.
Zhou Limin's face instantly turned ugly. If Liu Jiasheng's words were just harsh words, after all, Liu Jiasheng was not involved in the previous events from beginning to end and did not know the details.
Liu Zhaoxiang's words were a complete threat.
Liu Zhaoxiang knew everything very well.
If Liu Zhaoxiang goes to report and expose, then even if he wants to clean up, there is no chance.
This old guy must have some key evidence in his hands.
"Boss Liu, don't be anxious, let's sit down and talk slowly."
Zhou Limin changed his face very quickly and immediately sat down with a smile.
However, Liu Zhaoxiang did not make excuses with him. He was already torn apart, so there was no need to pretend anymore.
"Master Zhou, three days! Another boatload of food will come within three days. That's all I ask for. As I said just now, I can raise another 30% of the profit, which is definitely a lot."
Liu Zhaoxiang put forward his request simply and straightforwardly. Of course, he did not threaten to give less of the benefits that should be given.
He knew very well that he was seeking the skin of a tiger by threatening to cooperate.
"Three days is too short, at least seven days."
Zhou Limin also said with a serious face.
Liu Zhaoxiang shook his head and said: "It's only three days. It's meaningless to come back with food after three days. Master Zhou and the villain have nothing to do, otherwise why would this happen."
Zhou Limin's face jumped slightly, his hands clenched tightly, and his anger was about to burst out.
But he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Okay, then three days."
"Deliver at the same place, I don't want any surprises."
Liu Zhaoxiang nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I don't want accidents to happen even more than you do."
After saying that, he took Liu Jiasheng and left.
Zhou Limin looked at the two people leaving and overturned the table with a clang:
"You are so brave that you actually threatened me, so don't blame me for being cruel!"
