Chapter 48 Why not cut off the dead branches and leaves?

Hearing Cui Shiju's question, Chen Qiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Your Majesty has a decree, ordering me to collect food and salaries."

Cui Shiju clenched his fists and then loosened them. He repeated this several times, and asked again: "I wonder how much grain and silver General Chen wants to requisition?"

"Five thousand stones of grain, 3000 million taels of silver." Chen Qiao looked at Cui Shiju's face that turned purple in an instant, and was in a good mood. "I believe, to the Cui family, this is nothing."

"My lord, is Cui Shiju really willing to pay so much?"

Wu Ye at the side couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Chen Qiao said with a smile: "Among the four major families, the Lu family is the weakest. If his family can hand in, why not the Cui family?" Turning to Cui Shiju, "Mr. Cui, what's your answer?"

"Just for a worthless son?"

Wu Ye was very puzzled.

Chen Qiao shook his head, looked at Cui Shiju whose expression changed from green to white in the distance, and said, "Of course not for this young master of the Cui family, but for the entire Cui family. I think he knows something about me. If he dares not If you pay..."

Although Chen Qiao didn't finish his words, Wu Ye already understood.

If Cui Shiju insisted on not handing over, the entire Cui family would be destroyed.

"it is good!"

After holding back for a long time, Cui Shiju gritted his teeth and agreed, he could not risk the entire Cui family, and the century-old foundation left by his ancestors must not be destroyed in his hands.

"Mr. Cui is happy!" Chen Qiao said loudly: "Since that is the case, we will see you at the Boling Mansion in five days. If it is overdue, I am afraid that the life of Mr. Cui will be lost."

"General Chen, don't worry..." Cui Shiju hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "General, please take good care of my son."

No matter how ineffective, no matter how useless, he is still his own son...

"Don't worry, Mr. Cui." Chen Qiao arched his hands and left with the Black Dragon Army.

Seeing Chen Qiao leave, Cui Shiju, who couldn't hold on any longer, sat down on the ground, with beads of sweat dripping down his cheeks to the ground.Life!This is life!Chen Qiao was sent by God to punish him!Cui Shiju sighed greatly when he thought of his behavior of dominating Boling City all these years.

"My lord, this time is much easier than the Lu family."

It went so smoothly, and Chen Qiao was also happy and relaxed.

"This Cui Shiju is much smarter than Lu Yingkun, but unfortunately, he is still a little smart after all."

Wu Ye nodded, thinking that was indeed the case.

"In the past five days, just like in Fan Yang, we will send people out to collect the Cui family's criminal evidence. We will deal with him properly on the fifth day."

"Yes!"

"After we go back, find a doctor to hang the eldest son of the Cui family, at least we can't let him die in our hands."

"Yes, my lord."

Five days later, Cui Shiju, who personally brought people to deliver food and salaries to the government office, saw his son lying on the straw mat, and couldn't help but feel great grief.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cui, your son is still alive and well."

Cui Shiju forcefully pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Thanks to General Chen for your trouble."

Over the past few years, his biggest backers were Concubine Yin and Yin Hongzhi, and together with the alliance of the four major families, no one in the world would dare to oppose them.But as Yin Hongzhi was beheaded for killing Changsun Chong, Concubine Yin was also rejected by Li Shimin. The remaining Chu king Li You, not only could not help them, but sometimes even needed his help.

In the current situation, I'm afraid it's all my own fault.

Cui Shiju was full of disappointment.

"Mr. Cui really kept his promise."

After sending someone out to count the food and pay, Chen Qiao showed a satisfied smile.

"only……"

Before Cui Shiju could say anything, Chen Qiao took a stack of papers from Wu Ye.

"Many people complained that they have been bullied by Cui's family for many years, and they have to ask Mr. Cui to stay a little longer and give someone Chen an explanation."

Hearing this, Cui Shiju just wanted to roll his eyes and pass out, but now he is extremely sober.

"General Chen... I'm here..." Cui Shiju slowly knelt down on the ground, "I have nothing to say."

Very good, indeed, he is much smarter than Lu Yingkun.

"Wu Ye, Shi Lintong, take someone to get them."

"Yes!"

The two responded loudly, causing Cui Shiju to tremble, before collapsing to the ground.

It's over, the Cui family is about to end, the century-old foundation passed down from the ancestors will eventually be destroyed in his own hands.

In less than half an hour, the courtyard of the government office was full of Cui family members kneeling.

"Uncle! Uncle, save me!"

"Second brother! You can't just ignore death!"

"Uncle Tang! Uncle Tang! I don't want to die yet, Uncle Tang!"

"Good nephew, save uncle!"

……

There were endless calls for help from Gese, but Cui Shiju just closed his eyes and knelt on the ground without saying a word.By now, he was powerless.

"Chen Qiao! You will die!"

"Chen Qiao! You bloody beast!"

"I'm going to kill you, Chen Qiao!"

"Chen Qiao! Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!"

……

Seeing that Cui Shiju turned a deaf ear to his cries for help, the kneeling people in the courtyard started cursing Chen Qiao again.

"Roar!!!"

Heihu jumped out suddenly, and opened his bloody mouth at the person who scolded the most fiercely. Everyone present watched that person was about to lose his head by Heihu, and crimson blood gushed out from his neck in an instant. It splashed several people nearby.

Seeing that the black tiger not only bit off the man's head, but also chewed it, and even gnawed on the man's body after swallowing the head in his mouth.This bloody scene made most of the Cui family members pee their pants in fright. Although most of them committed all kinds of crimes, they had never faced such a cruel scene.

"It is quite now?"

Chen Qiao, as if he didn't see the scene in front of him, snorted mockingly.

"Wu Ye, it's the same as in Fan Yang. Anyone involved in human life will be killed with a knife, and the rest will be punished as crimes."

"Yes, my lord."

"Remember to send a report to your majesty later, and ask your majesty to appoint a new magistrate to come to Boling."

"Yes."

After saying that, Chen Qiao left the government office, and took away Cui Shiju who was kneeling on the ground with a face full of despair. He really couldn't stand the pungent smell.

"I don't know what else the general wants to do..."

For a moment, Cui Shiju, who seemed to be much older, asked feebly.

Sitting in a tea room, Chen Qiao took a sip of tea and patted Cui Shiju on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cui. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Besides, Mr. Chen is just helping Mr. Cui to cut off some broken branches and leaves."

Chen Qiao held his wine glass and looked into the distance.

"Mr. Cui doesn't want to do things for the King of Chu anymore, does he? You don't get half of the benefit, and you have to pay for it. Besides, Empress Changsun has three sons under her knees, including His Royal Highness, who has long been named the prince. Your Majesty will not do it anyway." Let the king of Chu ascend the throne."

Cui Shiju, who was in a cold sweat instantly, looked at Chen Qiao, who was surrounded by the old god.

"How did General Chen know?"

"It's not clean for the king of Chu to act on the facts, but it's easy to know."

"Then what is the purpose of General Chen's words?"

Chen Qiao shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Chen doesn't have any intentions in saying this, but I just hope that Mr. Cui can benefit the common people from now on."

Cui Shiju still had doubts in his eyes, he never believed that these officials would really care for the common people.

"It doesn't matter if Mr. Cui can't trust me. What matters is that if you still dare to harm the people in the future, no matter where I am, I will come and kill you."

As Chen Qiao spoke, he led Cui Shiju to watch the people coming and going on the street.

"You see, they just want to live in peace."

In Boling City, no one or any of the common people had ever seen Cui Shiju. Seeing him sitting with Chen Qiao, they thought he was Chen Qiao's friend. Every time they passed by, they would show a kind smile to them.

"Mr. Cui, do you understand?"

Chen Qiao asked one last question.

After a long time, Cui Shiju finally nodded.
