Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

  Chapter 122 Revenge does not last overnight

"Oh, is it so?"

   Ying Zheng didn't seem to be surprised by Mo Jun's answer, but was just surprised for a while pretending to be puzzled.

   Immediately afterwards, he shifted his gaze to Chang Wenjun who was at the side, and said, "Xiong Qing, what do you think?"

Chang Wenjun took a step forward, first bowed to Yingzheng, then raised his head and looked at Mo Jun, and said loudly: "My lord, what I said before is absolutely true, because I have enough to prove Lord Shengping used his power in Hanzhong County to buy and sell by force, and bully the people."

   Ying Zheng said: "What evidence?"

   "Look, Your Majesty."

   As he said, Chang Wenjun reached out his hand and took it out of his arms, and directly grabbed a large handful of cloth covered with handwriting and handed it over.

  Ying Zheng took the cloth from the guard, and after looking at it for a few times, he narrowed his eyes.

   Next second.

   Ying Zheng waved his hand and asked the guards to bring the cloth to Mo Jun. Mo Jun took a look and found that the cloth was the contract he had purchased grain fields from the landlords and nobles in Hanzhong.

   "Qing Mo, how do you explain?"

   Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

   There seemed to be a little more anger in his tone.

Mo Jun looked innocently at Yingzheng, and said: "Reporting to the king, I really don't know what crime I have committed. It has been clearly written in black and white, and the money and goods are cleared. It is completely a normal market transaction." !"

  Seeing Mo Jun's attitude, Chang Wenjun's eyes flashed with joy.

   Immediately afterwards, he jumped out in a hurry, and scolded righteously: "Bold Mo Jun, in front of the king, you still dare to quibble?"

  Mr. Mo asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by Mr. Chang Wen?"

  Chang Wenjun snorted coldly and said, "Huh~ You are not guilty yet, even the most inferior land on the market now costs at least a hundred dollars per mu."

   "And if it is a slightly good farmland, it costs at least one gold coin to buy an acre of land."

"But now you have bought millions of acres of good land from the people of Hanzhong at the price of one mu of good land. If you hadn't used your power to oppress the local people, how could others have sold these lands to you? , do you think that the people in Hanzhong are all fools?"

Hearing this, Mo Jun stroked his chin, suddenly realized, and said, "So, Chang Wenjun felt that the price I paid for the grain fields was unreasonable, so I thought that I used my power to oppress the local people, so I reached the deal, right? "

  Chang Wenjun said seriously: "Besides this, is there any other explanation?"

  Mr. Mo nodded: "Indeed, apart from this reason, even I can't find any other way to buy an acre of fertile land with a lot of money."

   "It's good to know, since that's the case, you're still going to be arrested and plead guilty to the king."

  Seeing Mo Jun's admission, Chang Wenjun was shocked immediately, and his whole body seemed to have a 'radiant' look.

  Recently, the situation of the "Chu foreign relatives lineage" is quite bad.

Under normal circumstances.

  Mr. Changping and Mr. Changwen would not deliberately deal with someone, especially when there is no conflict of interest, it is definitely not a smart choice to offend others rashly.

  But now Mr. Chang Wen has no choice.

  Because of the "Nanjun Conspiracy" case, the "Chu foreign relatives" in the entire Qin State were suppressed by Ying Zheng and suffered heavy losses.

  The prestige of Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, as the representatives of the "Chu Foreign Relatives Lineage" in Qin State, has also been greatly reduced after this incident.

  Now, the power of the "Chu Foreign Relatives Lineage" in the entire Qin State is close to disintegration. If it continues to develop like this, I am afraid that in the near future, the "Chu Foreign Relatives Lineage" will exist in name only.

  So at this critical juncture, Lord Changping and Lord Changwen urgently need to take action to re-invigorate the morale of the "Chu foreign relatives lineage".

   It is obviously impossible to win the government head-on.

   And other than that.

  The only person Changping-jun and Changwen-jun can choose to attack is Mo Jun, the 'culprit' who caused everything.

   This period of time.

  Mr. Changping and Mr. Changwen have been paying close attention to Mr. Mo.

  After Mo Jun slaughtered the He family in Hanzhong County, they got the news immediately, and saw the hope of dealing with Mo Jun.

  That's why the two took the initiative to contact Lu Boli, and reached a cooperation with the other party, and got Mo Jun's "black material" in Hanzhong County.

   Hear Chang Wenjun's words.

  The face of Ying Zheng on the throne also sank slightly. Originally, he trusted Mo Jun very much, but if Mo Jun really did such a thing of oppressing the people in Hanzhong...

   "Mr. Changwen, don't worry."

Faced with Chang Wenjun's questioning, Mo Jun himself was quite indifferent, and said slowly: "Although under normal circumstances, it is true that a large amount of money cannot buy an acre of fertile land. But do you think there is another possibility, that is, the cost of these fertile land Is it really cheap?"

   "Gibberish."

   "Hehe~~ It seems that Chang Wenjun seems to be unclear about this matter!"

   Seeing Chang Wenjun's reaction, Mo Jun was not angry at all, but laughed softly.

  Hearing Mo Jun's laughter, for some reason, Chang Wenjun felt a 'thump' in his heart, and a bad premonition gradually emerged.

   And in the next second, I heard Mo Jun continue: "Let me tell you why I said this transaction was reasonable before."

   "Because these lands, from the very beginning, were bought by the landlords and nobles from the common people of Hanzhong County at the price of one mu of good land."

   "And the price that this official spends is their cost price!"

  When Mo Jun's last word fell, Chang Wenjun's brain suddenly 'boomed', as if struck by lightning, and instantly became blank.

But not long after, I saw that Chang Wenjun seemed to have remembered something, and he came back to his senses and said: "Impossible, I still have the original land purchase and sale deeds of the people in Hanzhong County here, and the price marked on it is completely normal... "..."

   That's all for now.

  Chang Wenjun's voice stopped abruptly, and his expression seemed to be like a duck with its neck stuck, funny and ridiculous.

   "It seems that Mr. Chang Wen has also figured it out!"

  Mr. Mo looked at Mr. Chang Wen, shook his head sympathetically, and said, "With those guys' personalities, how could they buy land from civilians at normal market prices?"

   "Chang Wenjun, it seems that you have been taken advantage of this time!"

  The landlords and nobles in Hanzhong County did not tell Chang Wenjun the real price of the land they bought from the common people.

the reason is simple.

  Because they knew that once Chang Wenjun knew about this matter, the other party might not agree to cooperate with them.

  Or even if they agree, they will inevitably use this as an excuse to bite off a large piece of meat from them.

  So they tacitly chose to conceal it.

   Moreover, they are also gambling, and Gambler Mo doesn't know the real price of these lands they bought, even if they know that the chances of winning this gamble are not high, they will still gamble.

  As for whether this incident will harm Lord Chang Wen in the future, this is not in the consideration of these old noble landlords in Hanzhong.

  Because the first thing they want to ensure is their own interests.

   This is a very funny and absurd brain circuit.

   But facing enough benefits, these old aristocratic landlords in Hanzhong would rather gamble on the 1% chance than give up a lot of money for it.

  Chang Wenjun's complexion has changed from the previous radiance to livid.

obviously.

  He thought of that too.

  Even he himself didn't expect that one day, he would be tricked by such a group of idiots.

   "Then I don't know what Mr. Shengping plans to do with these properties after he buys them? Is it possible that he wants to take all these properties for his own use?" Chang Wenjun obviously didn't want to admit defeat, and planned to make a final gamble.

In the face of Chang Wenjun's doubts, Mo Jun simply said: "I intend to implement a new law of renting land in Hanzhong County. As the real monarch of Hanzhong County, this is my right. So this Don't worry about Chang Wenjun."

  Hearing this, Chang Wenjun completely gave up his last hope.

  Hanzhong County is the real fiefdom of Mojun, and there are too many places that Mojun can operate there, unless it touches certain bottom lines, such as: military power, political power, treason, rebellion...etc.

  Otherwise, for some ordinary trivial matters, even if Mo Jun breaks the law in Hanzhong County, he can amend the laws of Hanzhong County to a certain extent.

  As for the massacre of the He family.

   Neither Chang Wenjun nor Mo Jun continued to mention this matter, mainly because it was unnecessary.

  Because of the lives of these local nobles, let alone them, even Ying Zheng never cared.

   For Ying Zheng.

  As long as Mr. Mo does not rebel in Hanzhong, Hanzhong will not be filled with grievances. Even if Mr. Mo killed all the landlords and nobles in Hanzhong, any extra words he said would be a waste of saliva.

  Seeing that the confrontation between the two has come to a conclusion.

Ying Zheng, who was on the throne, finally spoke: "Since the truth about the Hanzhong matter has been revealed, let's stop here! Xiong Qing, your complaint was too impulsive this time, and you falsely accused Mo Qing, and you will wait until the next court." , you should apologize to Qing Mo."

   "I know I was wrong!"

  Chang Wenjun admitted this mistake decisively.

   This can be regarded as one of the backhands deployed by Lord Changwen and Lord Changping.

  Chang Wenjun did not take a formal route in his complaint this time, but quietly mentioned something to Ying Zheng in private.

   In this way, if the lawsuit wins, although Mo Jun cannot be directly killed, it is enough to leave Mo Jun with a bad impression in Ying Zheng's heart.

   After all, if you want to bring down the current Mo Jun, it is impossible to do it with only one or two small cases of oppressing the people.

   And if the lawsuit is lost, it will be like this, because the case has not been spread and has not caused much impact, so Chang Wenjun does not need to accept too much punishment, only an apology is enough.

   This is a very safe approach.

  But he forgot one thing, that is, Mo Jun is a very, extremely, and a very 'narrow-minded' man.

  Generally.

   Jun Mo's revenge would not even be overnight, and he reported it on the same day.

  So when the matter in Hanzhong County was over, Mo Jun stepped forward decisively and said: "Before I came here, I heard that the king seemed to be troubled by my Daqin's 'salt mine drying up' recently. I wonder if the rumors from the outside world are true?"

Compared with the matter between Mo Jun and Chang Wenjun, the 'salt mine drying up' is the major event that really worries Ying Zheng. Now that Mo Jun took the initiative to mention this matter, Ying Zheng couldn't help asking : "It's true. Could it be that Mo Qing has a good plan?"

   "I do have a method."

  Mr. Mo clasped his hands and saluted, affirming.

  As soon as these words came out, Ying Zheng's deep eyes suddenly burst into light, while Chang Wenjun's face froze.
