Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 269
"My lord, I have brought you here" a soldier came to Xiao Hong and Rong Dang and bowed bravely and said.

"You go down first." Rong Dang told the soldier to go down first.

"Here" Bingyong bowed and retired.

"Your Majesty, before meeting these people, this Shangshu will first inform you of their collusion with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms."

"Okay, let's talk as we walk." Xiao Hong and Rong Dang walked to Rong Dang's office.

"Your Majesty, the remnants of the Six Kingdoms that these stewards have colluded with are all nobles who had a high status in the Six Kingdoms, and there are not many of them who belong to the original Six Kingdoms."

"People from the royal families of the six kingdoms?" Xiao Hong looked at Rong Dang and asked, "When your majesty overthrew the six kingdoms and unified the world, didn't you kill all the royal families of the six kingdoms?"

"No, His Majesty was merciful and released many members of the six royal families, but they were all strictly controlled and controlled by the local counties and counties, and they were always under surveillance," Rong Dang replied.

"There are people watching, so how did they collude with these stewards?" This made Xiao Hong very strange. Qin Shihuang was able to unify the six kingdoms in addition to Qin's strong military power. Naturally, his mind cannot be ignored. The royal family that destroyed the country made others feel that surrender was a way out, thus reducing the obstacles to destroying the six countries.

But even if Qin Shihuang was merciful and didn't kill these six royal families and nobles, they definitely lived under strict control.With such strict control, how did they come into contact with these stewards?

"Your Majesty, you have fallen into a misunderstanding. It is impossible for the nobles of these six royal families to come forward and contact these stewards in person. First, even if they destroy the country, they are still considered nobles. In their eyes, even if they are The managers of the Daqin Mining Group branch are essentially businessmen, and their low status does not deserve their presence. This is just one of them."

"Secondly, the remnants of the six royal families are still under surveillance, and the county guards in various places will send people to check these remnants, so even if they want to come forward in person, there is no way."

"The third is that these survivors of the six countries bought ores such as iron ore and coal mines. In order to prevent being discovered, they could only complete this matter through other merchants, so they actually contacted these stewards on the surface. The most important people are merchants." Rong Dang expressed his views and opinions.

"It seems that the survivors of the six kings' royal families are really capable. They can actually contact these managers through merchants, and they can do so without being discovered by the surveillance people. So Rong Shangshu, how did you interrogate them?" Xiao Hong felt that since these survivors had been so careful, how could Rong Dang be interrogated.

"It has to be said that this Shangshu's luck is good. When they were interrogated before, they kept killing them all because they embezzled money and sold the ore at a low price to merchants to make some money. But who knew that one of them Merchants happened to come to Xianyang. After Ben Shangshu learned about it, he immediately sent someone to arrest him in the street. After a severe interrogation of this person, he revealed all the facts. These stewards recruited all merchants when they saw them. Tell the whole story, just to let their families go.”

"It seems that businessmen's pursuit of profit is the essence. I have treated them so favorably. They dare to collude with the remnants of the six kingdoms in an attempt to destroy the Great Qin. Sure enough, I take some things for granted." Xiao Hong thought that during the Qin Dynasty The merchants should be better, and Xiao Hong is very kind to these merchants, and also helped them relax some business laws, but who knows that the world is as black as crows, and the pursuit of profit by merchants is the same in all periods.

The two of them came to Rong Dang's office while they were talking. At this moment, seven wounded stewards were kneeling on the ground waiting for Xiao Hong and Rong Dang.

Xiao Hong walked into the office, looked at the stewards kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed, and said, "You guys have given me a lot of face."

"Your Majesty!" The seven stewards heard Xiao Hong's voice, raised their heads and saw Xiao Hong sitting on the chair.

"Your Majesty, we knew we were wrong, but our family members didn't know about it, so please forgive our family members, Your Majesty, please." The stewards endured the severe pain and kowtowed to Xiao Hong continuously.

"Okay, I am not a bloodthirsty person. If your family members really don't know, I can forgive them, but I want to ask you, how much ore did you steal and sell to the remnants of the six royal families?" Xiao Although Hong did issue a strict order to exterminate the tribe on the grassland, it was only based on the premise that they would continue to invade Da Qin and plunder the people of Da Qin.

And those in charge in front of him are all His Majesty's subjects, and if their family members really don't know, Xiao Hong will not implicate them. After all, even sitting in this kind of system, Xiao Hong himself is opposed to it.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the total amount of ore we smuggled to the remnants of the six royal families is not too much. The total amount of coal ore is less than one thousand catties, and the iron ore is less than five hundred catties." One of the stewards raised his head and said.

"The quantity of hundreds of kilograms of iron ore is quite good. The method of mass production and steelmaking is currently in the hands of the imperial court. If they smelt these ores on their own, they will not be able to make many armors and weapons." Xiao Hong heard When the iron ore was less than [-] kilograms, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Rong Shangshu, have all the merchants in contact with these stewards mastered it?"

"I have mastered everything. They concentrated on the four counties of Dudong County, Dang County, Qinghe County and Jibei County"

"Okay, since that's the case, keep them under guard, but don't let them have any accidents. I will meet with Your Majesty now, tell Your Majesty about this, and send troops to arrest these merchants and the remnants of the six royal families." When a hidden danger appears, Xiao Hong will extinguish it without hesitation.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Wu An, this Shangshu will ensure that they can meet His Majesty alive," Rong Dang assured.

"Okay, then I'll trouble Rong Shangshu." Xiao Hong glanced at these stewards kneeling on the ground again, then turned and left.

"Let's go, head to Xianyang Palace." Xiao Hong got on the carriage and headed for Xianyang Palace.

But along the way, Xiao Hong was thinking about how to persuade His Majesty to forgive these family members in charge, after all, he had promised them.

However, according to Xiao Hong's vision, as long as Qin Shihuang knew about this matter, he would be furious. However, arrests should not interfere with the lives of the local people, and in order to prevent some people from killing good people and taking meritorious deeds, a strict rule must be formulated.

Otherwise, the army that will be sent at that time is likely to hurt some irrelevant people in order to claim credit, or deliberately make a big mess at this time, and has achieved its purpose of receiving the reward.

"Your Majesty has arrived." Xuanwu Guard stopped the carriage steadily at the entrance of Xianyang Palace.

"You are waiting here for me," Xiao Hong ordered after getting off the carriage.

"Here." The Xuanwu guards bowed to accept their orders.
