Li Chengqian had to admit that Dou Kuan was a ruthless man. Not only did he dare to attack others, he was not polite to himself at all. In order to get more tax exemptions from Li Chengqian for the people under his rule and to get some cattle for farming, this guy was I don't offend those powerful people at all.

After asking for a token and some money from Li Chengqian, he ran out for ten days, and then hosted a banquet for these "creditors" in the largest restaurant in Huazhou. Of course, there were also 300 six-year-olds in armor standing downstairs. Leading the soldiers, this governor, who has always been known for his shabby status, may not have the intention of the Hongmen Banquet.

"Everyone, I have been ordered by the Crown Prince to talk to you about the loans signed by Wei Tinghe. His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to set aside part of the relief supplies to repay you, and is willing to add 10% more to reward you.

As long as everyone agrees, you can go to the Governor's Yamen with the scribes to handle the matter now, how about it?" Dou Kuan smiled and glanced at everyone sitting there.

He knew that if there were not those soldiers below, these guys who usually have their nostrils turned upward would not even bother to look at him, let alone sit here honestly.

"Prince Dou, what are you so anxious about? The imperial court is currently doing its best to fight chaos and provide disaster relief. We can leave these things for later!" The person who spoke was Huang, a famous water transport leader in Yunzhou who bullied men and domineering women. It was commonplace, and even the local governor had to give him three points.

Just as the underworld leader surnamed Huang finished speaking, Cui Zan, the head of the Yanzhou Cui family branch, stood up and said immediately: "Yes, Lao Huang is right, we are all guys who can't carry it on our shoulders or lift it with our hands. Why? Your Majesty, you don’t have many opportunities to be loyal to the imperial court, so it’s better not to rush.”

"That's right, the imperial court is not in vain. We still have the land pledged in our hands, so what else do we have to worry about? How unethical must we be to rob food from those poor people? This is something that is detrimental to our morality. The Lu family won’t do it anyway.” Of course, the Lu family would not want to give it up after getting so much land, and the interest rates are so high, this is simply making money while lying down.

It is because of this contribution that Lu Fang was mentioned in the family tree of the principal wife. If he can earn more for the family, his status in the clan will further develop in the future.

And his children will not be treated unfairly because of their low birth status like him, so he would rather offend the prince behind the sour governor than give up this opportunity...

Seeing the ugly faces of these people who were trying to get rich and squandering the country's wealth, Dou Kuan drank all the wine in his hand and smashed the cup in his hand. Then he waved to the scribes behind him and asked such generals to do so. The dark materials collected over many days were placed in front of them.

Then he said with a look of disdain: "It's easy to talk and discuss, isn't it? I'm not giving you face! I really think that I have been an official in Shandong Road for so many years for nothing. What is on the table is that you have bullied good people for many years." Good, smuggling and violating the law.

Giving you 10% of the profit is the crown prince’s grace. Isn’t it a good idea to happily take away the 10% of the interest and keep the people who eat?”

"How come you guys from the countryside who have never seen the world want to enrich the country? I don't know how those people like you in Guanzhong died! Okay, even if you are ignorant, how did Jingzhao Weishi die? People must know it!"

"Come on, come on, come on, Lao Huang, tell me whether those Liba from your cao gang can compare with those soldiers below. You, Cui Zan, you are so delicate and rich, right? His Majesty even sent the state heir.

Who do you think you are when it comes to disaster relief? Can you, a concubine of the Cui family, be more noble than the prince?

Of course there is you, Lu Fang. For the sake of Mr. Lu and the prime minister, I have reminded you many times that committing illegal acts is against the king's law. But how can you reply to me? Look at the things on the table. You

Do you still dare to say that I have wronged you now?"...

As he spoke, he walked up to the big guys sitting there and slapped these powerful people from aristocratic families who were usually on top of their game. And these people were looking at the evidence collected by Dou Kuan in their hands.

, while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

"In addition to these crimes, you also lent usury to the court and took over the government's private land. Isn't this the biggest joke since the beginning of Pangu? You said that if I were to try you, this case would be

How to judge! Is it to confiscate the house? Or is it to be exiled?"

Speaking of this, Dou Kuan also touched the few beards on his chin and thought for a moment: "It seems to be too light! You have become the emperor's creditors, isn't that a rebellion? You should be killed.

Nine tribes.”

After he finished speaking, he slapped the table hard, which frightened the heads of the family and made them shudder. Dou Kuan bets that some of these gray grandsons must really want to pee.

"Master Governor, you see why you are so angry. This is because Wei Ting had to give us the interest, and he forced us to get the land, otherwise he wouldn't even have the guts to lend it to us.

How dare you do this."

Anyway, Wei Ting has sent the prince to the northwest border. I don’t know if he can come back in this life. It’s just right to let him hold the tank. Cui Zan, who looked like a flatterer, walked over with a glass of wine and smiled.

In front of Dou Kuan, the bossy look just now disappeared.

"That's right, that's right, Lord Governor, what are you doing? You have something to say, why are you saying something so scary? We are all from the countryside. It is an honor for our brothers to contribute to the court. How dare you

What about the 10% profit?

Could you please report back to Your Highness the Crown Prince? That achievement can be regarded as a bit of filial piety. I don’t usually have such an opportunity. Hey, don’t you think so?”

Seeing that the parent official was really angry, Lu Fang couldn't help it. Based on his understanding of the governor for many years, this guy was just a fool and didn't understand the world at all.

If he were to take advantage of this opportunity to accuse himself of rebellion, then even if the capital was not recovered, the lives of his whole family would also be at stake.

Fortunately, we got over it as soon as possible. The example of the Wei family is there. This is a lesson for the past. When Lu Fang said this, other family heads also agreed. They were really afraid of falling behind others.

Seeing their cowardly looks, Dou Kuan walked back to the main seat and sat down, and said leisurely: "Take what is given to you. This is the grace given to you by His Royal Highness. Will the imperial court take advantage of you?"
