"boom!"

A teacup was placed heavily on the table.

There was a lot of movement.

Chu Li, who was standing aside with fright, trembled, "What are you doing..."

Mo Zichen, who was as bright as a jade tree just now, now had a dark expression on his face and his eyes were sharp.

He ignored Chu Li.

Instead, he looked at Gu Nanqiao coldly and said in a cold voice: "Who told you this? Do you know that anyone who talks nonsense about government affairs will be jailed and subject to criminal law, even if you are the daughter of Nanhou, the same applies."

"My daughter knows the laws of Yu the Great, but although I am the daughter of the Marquis of Nan, she is also a citizen of the Kingdom of Yu."

"My daughter's ex-husband's family is in Xiangzhou, so my daughter also has some properties in the Xiangzhou area, part of which involves slaves, and she is also one of the victims.

Since King Yong raised the issue of slave soldiers, there have been frequent problems with taxation and household registration in various places. Some young and middle-aged people in ordinary people's families became slaves for no reason. They had no way to appeal and were forcibly recruited as slave soldiers. Those who resisted were killed on the spot. die……"

"According to the servants, in Yong'an City alone, the corpses of those who were killed as a warning to others can be piled up into mountains. In order to pay the increased taxes, many people have begun to sell their fields to buy their children. Now the people of Yong'an City are There are cries of sorrow and complaints.”

"His Royal Highness King An is in charge of the Department of Household Affairs and is also the prince of the Kingdom of Dayu. He should be in his position, seek his duties, take responsibility and perform his duties."

Having said this, Gu Nanqiao bent down and handed over his hands to Mo Zichen: "Whether what I said is true, Your Highness will find out as soon as I find out. I also ask Your Highness, Prince An, to plead for the people after finding out!"

Mo Zichen looked at Gu Nanqiao, his brows furrowed.

Gu Nanqiao didn't seem to be in a hurry. He kept bending over and cupping his hands, but he was counting the time in his heart.

About 1 minutes.

Only then did Mo Zichen say in a calm voice: "I will investigate this matter, but if there is something false about it..."

"If there is any lie, I will leave it to His Highness King Ru'an to deal with it." Gu Nanqiao said without hesitation.

When Mo Zichen heard this, he narrowed his eyes.

After a while, he stood up from the main seat, looked sideways at Chu Li, and said in a low voice: "A Li, remember what I warned you last night. If you do it again, you will never leave this courtyard again."

Chu Li was still a little confused, but his head instinctively nodded quickly: "Remember."

Mo Zichen then left.

However, when he passed by Gu Nanqiao, he seemed to whisper something, and Gu Nanqiao was stunned after hearing this.

Mo Zichen then left.

Princess Jade and Chu Li looked at it, dumbfounded.

Especially Chu Li, who immediately jumped for joy after Mo Zichen left.

With a face full of emotion, he directly threw himself at Gu Nanqiao and said excitedly: "Ah Qiao, you are so amazing. You actually made up such a bunch of things for me to deceive him and save me from the fire and water. Thank you, thank you so much.”

Princess Jade also felt that what Gu Nanqiao just said must be false.

Although she didn't understand government affairs, she had heard her mother, the eldest princess, mention the issue of slave soldiers. She heard that it was a matter of benefit to the country and the people, because in this way, the national strength of Dayu's country increased, and there were slave soldiers. By joining, border soldiers can feel a lot more relaxed...

As for taxation and conscription, she didn't quite understand.

but……

"What if this turns out to be fake and I really have to be questioned?" Princess Jade looked at the two people hugging each other and said worriedly.

Chu Li smiled and waved his hands: "No, Zichen never likes to participate in government affairs, and he is very kind-hearted. Usually, he is not willing to punish the young man when he makes mistakes. At most, he just talks about it. Just say it, Aqiao will definitely not be punished."

"What's more, there's still me."
