Chapter 722: Questioning in Court
Adding insult to injury!
What is adding insult to injury? That should be it now.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was already in turmoil, and the people were in dire straits. Now that something like this happened again, it was too unfriendly to the people, and prices would rise crazily.
What does it feel like for people all over the city now to have gold in their hands but not be able to spend it?
If Taiping Dao comes forward with supplies at this time, do you think the people will rebel with Taiping Dao in order to survive?
Of course, there is not no good news. The good news is that the major vassal states are as blind as him and don't know what to do.
Emperor Zhou didn't do well, and their people didn't do well either.
"If such a huge amount of supplies can be recovered..." Zhou Tianzi's eyes flashed.
If this could be found, the Zhou Dynasty would not be short of supplies, and it would be able to drive the people to fight for themselves.
There was a gloomy look in Zhou Tianzi's eyes: "Is there any clue?"
He was asking Zhou Liu, the leader of the Suppressing Secret Service. The Suppressing Secret Service monitors the world. If there is any trouble, Zhou Liu will not be able to hide it.
Zhou Liu hesitated a little when he heard this: "The other party has no trace of his actions, so he must have planned it in advance. Although I can monitor the world, the other party has been prepared for a long time, and it has eluded me."
"Such a huge action involves millions of people, and you can't find any of them?" Zhou Tianzi didn't believe it at all.
If you tell me that there is only one person on the other side, or maybe three or five people, who can hide your actions, that would not be surprising.
But the other side took action under the command of 365 vassal states at the same time, and they also had to transport the materials away. What a huge amount of manpower and material resources was this?
It’s simply unimaginable!
The other party must be a big force!
And it is still very big, capable of radiating the power of 365 vassal states.
These forces are enough to pose a threat to the Zhou royal family!
Emperor Zhou was not a foolish king, so how could he allow such a huge force to exist under his nose?
The most important thing is that the other party made such a big move but left no trace at all, which is particularly amazing.
If there is a miracle, I'm afraid it's nothing more than this, right?
"Such methods can no longer be accomplished by one force. It seems that many forces unite together." Zhou Liu looked gloomy: "Could it be those weird ghosts? Only those weird ones are all over the Great Wednesday Hundreds Sixty-five vassal states. Those weird subordinates have great and small strength. If they unite to cause trouble, I think they can do it." Zhou Liu looked at the tall back of Emperor Zhou and expressed his speculation.
"Although there are 365 weird gods in the world, these weird gods are not all of the same mind. There are many internal contradictions among them." Emperor Zhou shook his head.
The atmosphere in the hall gradually became silent. After a long time, Zhou Liucai said: "There is another flaw, and that is the silk of the Shen family. Gold is flooding, but the silk of the Shen family has been sold at a sky-high price, and it has spread throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty in time. If I didn’t rush the work in advance, but I don’t believe it. If you want to sell silk to all the 165 vassal states on the Great Wednesday, what a terrifying amount it would be? Even if the God family dug out the bottom and compiled silk hundreds of years ago , I’m afraid it won’t be rolled out in time, and it’s impossible to sell it at the same time during the big week. The quantity simply doesn’t match up!”
After hearing Zhou Liu's words, Emperor Zhou narrowed his eyes: "Are you saying there is a problem with the Shen family?"
"Even if he is not the mastermind, he must be involved." Zhou Liu said.
After hearing Zhou Liu's words, Emperor Zhou's expression turned grim. After a moment, he said, "Find a few people and hand them over to the government at the meeting tomorrow."
After hearing this, Zhou Liu retreated and made arrangements.
In the morning of the next day, someone came forward to participate in the performance, saying that the God family used silk to bring trouble to the world and attack the currency market, intending to disrupt the Great Zhou Dynasty and subvert the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The Emperor of Zhou issued an edict and ordered God Qi to go to Lutai to meet and answer questions.
God's family
Duke Xi Guo had heard the news a long time ago and hurried to Duke Rong Guo's residence early in the morning and saw Cui Yu slowly drinking tea in the backyard.
"It's a disaster." Duke Xiguo quickly stepped forward and said.
"Huh?" Cui Yu looked at the Duke of God in surprise when he heard this.
"I heard someone say that because the God's cloth was sold in the 365 vassal states, it temporarily replaced the gold currency, so someone wanted to join you in conspiring with that group of thieves to plunder the world's wealth. The royal envoy is already here On the way here! If it was you who did it, just tell me and I will cover it for you to avoid being caught off guard. Since the other party dares to participate, there must be evidence!" Xi Guogong looked at Cui with his eyes. Yu, staring at Cui Yu's facial expression.
If Cui Yu did this, wouldn't the Shen family become prosperous?
How much wealth can be gathered by then?
It’s a massive amount!
As long as you give one ten thousandth of it, God's family can expand again.
As for how Duke Xi got the news?
The Shen family has been operating in Haojing City for thousands of years. Although it is in decline, it has no secret allies.
Now that everyone in the world is planning to destroy the Zhou royal family, it is not difficult to understand that the news has directly reached the ears of Duke Xi.
"Oh?" Cui Yu said calmly after hearing this: "Is there any solid evidence?"
Duke Xi was stunned when he heard this, and secretly observed Cui Yu. He always felt that Cui Yu today seemed different from the past, but he couldn't tell exactly what the difference was.
"Uncle, please be patient." Cui Yu said calmly, "The sky will not fall."
"You really didn't do it?" Xi Guogong stared at Cui Yu with his eyes.
"Of course not." Cui Yu narrowed his eyes. He didn't want Duke Xi to know too much.
The old lady had the right to depose Duke Xi because of his lack of ability.
"That makes me feel relieved. It's not something our God's family did, and no one can put a shit basin on our heads." The expression on Xiguo Gong's face couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed.
While he was talking, there was suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps from the outside world, and Ying'er ran in from the front yard: "Uncle, the guards from the palace are outside the door. Please come into the palace."
Cui Yu glanced at Duke Xi, then stood up with a smile: "It came quite quickly."
Cui Yu stood up and walked out of the mansion leisurely. He saw a dozen guards in golden armor and a young man in chamberlain uniforms waiting outside the gate.
Seeing Cui Yu coming out, the chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "I have met the young master. The king has a decree. Please come to the palace to explain it."
Cui Yu nodded and boarded the carriage directly.
As for his own plan being leaked?
Cui Yu is not worried at all!
Unless Tang Zhou was caught, who would know that he did it?
Nobody knows!
The carriage rolled all the way to the Ouchi Palace and under the deer platform.
Arriving at Lutai and reaching the highest level, I saw the top dignitaries of the Zhou Dynasty gathered here.
At a glance, there were hundreds of people standing in a dark queue in the main hall, neat and orderly.
"God prays." The waiter announced.
"Pray to the gods." Someone said, Emperor Zhou.
"Pray to the gods!" The waiter shouted in the hall.
Following the shouts of the chamberlain, Cui Yu slowly walked into the hall, and saw everyone in the hall looking over. The huge pressure was like a landslide and a tsunami, and the energy in the void was constantly distorting.
"Meet the king."
Cui Yu ignored the gazes of the dignitaries and walked slowly to the feet of Emperor Zhou. Looking at Emperor Zhou who was sitting high above him, he could only kneel down and worship.
There is no way, the kingship of the Great Zhou Dynasty is granted by God, and anyone who sees the Emperor of Zhou must bow down.
This was not the first time Cui Yu saw Emperor Zhou. When he was at Liangjie Mountain, he had seen Emperor Zhou fight against the real person Nanhua.
"Get up." Emperor Zhou said.
The voice was full of energy, and it was obvious that the original injury had healed.
After hearing what Emperor Zhou said, Cui Yu stood up and glanced at the decoration in the hall, which was somewhat similar to the Lutai in The Romance of the Gods.
"God pray, there are people who joined you and others to plunder the world's wealth, and also disrupted our human race's currency system, causing our race's gold to flood. What do you have to say?" Emperor Zhou's voice could not detect any emotion or anger, so he asked.
"Who said that?" Cui Yu asked.
Cui Yu's answer stunned Emperor Zhou, and he didn't even react for a moment.
"How presumptuous! When the emperor asks questions, you only need to answer. How dare you ask back?" At this time, a figure wearing a purple official robe walked out of the crowd and scolded Cui Yu.
"Did you say that?" Cui Yu asked again.
The official was stunned and confused by Cui Yu's words.
Isn't it supposed to be like this?
When facing Emperor Zhou, who would not be frightened and respectful? Who dares to ask a question?
"You only need to answer the emperor's words now." The purple-robed official said with a cold face: "There is no room for impudence in front of the king."
"I want to answer your Majesty's words, but I don't even know who is participating. How can I answer?" Cui Yu replied unhurriedly.
Be confident!
Since condensing the six-foot-long golden body, Cui Yu felt that he had swelled up, and he should be able to be more bold now.
"Shenqi, how dare you disrespect the emperor?" Another official stood up and angrily shouted.
"I don't know who played the part for me. How do I confront the other party? How do I prove my innocence?" Cui Yu said unhurriedly.
Is Cui Yu easy to handle?
"I'm here to play for you." Then a young man slowly stood up and said, "I'm Xuan Ye, in charge of the Yushitai."
"Xuan Ye? Do you have evidence to join me?" Cui Yu asked expressionlessly.
He knew this man. There was a huge conflict in Dalin Temple, and even Xuan Yong, the other party's follower, was slapped to death by him.
But now he is Shen Qi, not Cui Yu, so naturally he has no reason to know Xuan Ye.
Xuan Ye was staring at Cui Yu with his eyes. From the moment Cui Yu walked in from outside the hall, he had his eyes fixed on Cui Yu, and his whole person was in extreme shock.
so similar!
He is totally alone!
"Evidence? There is no evidence." Xuan Ye looked at Cui Yu with cold eyes, trying to find out the similarities between the god in front of him and the Cui Yu in his memory.
Exactly the same!
"You don't have any evidence. You are here to slander me with red lips and white teeth. How can I explain it to you?" Cui Yu sneered.
After hearing Cui Yu's words, Xuan Ye said coldly: "Although I have no evidence, I have some doubts. Please ask Master Shenqi to answer it for me."
"Why did the land of Kyushu become covered with your high-grade silk in one day? Your silk appeared without a trace in the 365 princes' kingdoms, almost on the same day, and then replaced the gold currency. And you are in Haojing City During the period, the price of silk was suddenly raised to coincide with the exchange of gold, and the price increase was intended to guide wealthy families to exchange for gold, and they said it was not you who did it?" Xuan Yong was aggressive.
"Huh?" Cui Yu frowned when he heard this: "You said my silk appeared in the 365 vassal states to exchange for gold?"
"Not bad!" Xuan Ye stared at Cui Yu with his eyes: "What's your explanation?"
"Explanation? Why explain? It's simply ridiculous!" Cui Yu smiled coldly: "You should be very clear about how big my manor is. The silk that our Shen family can weave every day is only a small amount. If you can't sell it in Haojing City, how can you sell it to the entire vassal states? Even if you slander me, you still have to find a real excuse. With such a frame-up method, is it possible that the king is a fool? "
"Your Majesty, this guy made something out of nothing. How much silk can I produce from my ten-acre manor even if I work non-stop day and night? Not to mention selling it to the 365 vassal states, even in Haojing City, there is not enough silk. This person made something out of nothing. I am being framed, but I still ask the king to make the decision, and I am still innocent." Cui Yu directly beat him up and confused the right and wrong.
"You..." Xuan Ye stared at Cui Yu, his body trembling with anger, and he was speechless for a moment.
Invert the concept!
Cui Yu, this is a reversal of concepts!
Cui Yu was obviously sold to 365 vassal states, but Cui Yu refused to admit it. He pretended not to know about this kind of thing and thought that the other party was slandering him. Is there anyone so stubborn?
Xuan Ye already knew what Cui Yu had planned.
I will refuse to admit it even to death!
What does the silk sold outside have to do with my family?
The silk production of the Shen family is there, how can it be sold to the entire vassal states?
From a critical point of view, Cui Yu is completely defensible and makes sense.
But now all the 365 vassal states have been replaced by the silk of the God family!
This is a fact!
"You... you... damn you! Then let me ask you, the silk of the Shen family appeared in the 365 vassal states and became the currency currently circulating in the vassal states. What is your explanation?" Xuan Ye Suddenly anxious.
He couldn't fail the task assigned by Emperor Zhou.
After hearing this, Cui Yu shook his head and ignored Xuan Ye, but looked at Emperor Zhou: "Your Majesty, Mingcha. The silk of my Shen family is only sold in Haojing City. As for the three hundred and sixty people outside Haojing City, A large amount of silk has appeared in the five princes' countries. I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's silk from another family that was printed and dyed by someone. You may have mistaken it."
"You fart! Those silks are exactly the same!" Xuan Ye suddenly became anxious when he heard this. He would not be such a deadbeat.
