The Grand Void – Becoming a Dragon

Inside the gazebo.

Chen Wang put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, looked over the courtyard wall, looked at the sky on the south side, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Behind him was a man in black, and said respectfully: "The manager of the Zhuang's firm who was bought by Song Tianyuan was picked out by Zhuang Ming's subordinates before and sent to the government. Lord, so these people have become witnesses. Now that there are witnesses, plus those forged physical evidences, under this arrangement, the complete closure of Zhuang's business can be regarded as following the law. Even the enemy's old fox can't find fault."

Chen Wang smiled lightly and said, "I heard that Zhuang Ming is very resourceful, are you ready?"

The man replied: "Even if he is resourceful and has many ways in his mind, so what? The prince controls the power of the government, and this is a force to break the law. No matter how powerful a counselor is, he will not be able to turn over."

After a pause, the man said again: "Even if he can use some means in the end, it can't be solved within a few days. We will delay it for a while in the name of a thorough investigation. On the one hand, it is getting worn down day by day, people's hearts are gradually dispersing, no matter how big the family is, the bigger the power, the faster it will collapse, and according to the subordinates, it will not be long before the Zhuang's firm will fall apart."

Chen Wang chuckled and said: "That's the case, then continue to procrastinate, Zhuang's business is just a trivial matter, you don't have to worry about it anymore, you still have to focus on the business."

As a king with a different surname, he is also powerful in the court, and the mere private merchants are naturally not in his eyes.

What he cared more about were the four major events that came under the order of the emperor.

As for the action against Zhuang's business, for Zhuang Ming and Zhuang's business, it was a life-and-death situation that determined the fate of the world, but for him, it was nothing more than doing things in his free time, that's all.

The two are not at the same level. In the past, even if he took a second look, he seemed to be a corporal, but it was only because Zhuang Ming dared to take action on his business, which made him furious. care about.

Now that he, the lord, can spend a little bit of energy and order someone to make a plan to seal up the Zhuang's business, and to make such a move, he can be regarded as worthy of Mr. Thirteen.

Now that the situation has been settled, there is no need to take this matter to heart.

"So far so good."

The man in black replied: "The place where the war horses will be raised has been determined, and the young horses with excellent bloodlines are also on their way to be transported."

King Chen asked, "Where's the canal?"

The man replied: "My subordinates will send fifty elite soldiers to accompany those craftsmen to conduct surveys and record them in detail. In about three to five days, they will be able to record clearly, so as to make follow-up plans. How to dig canals, how to structure waterways, how to divert water, and other issues.”

Chen Wang nodded slightly, and said, "Where is the military workshop?"

The man said in a low voice: "The place has been decided, and the artisans have almost arrived. The ore collected before is backlogged there. Before leaving for Huai'an, more than a hundred elite soldiers have been sent to guard... In addition, another type of refining The ore is still in transit."

Chen Wang nodded slightly. These three things are the first to see the progress.

As for the implementation of the New Deal, it will not happen overnight, and it can only be done secretly.

This matter will be discussed later, and it can only be implemented after I have firmly established my foundation in the Sixteen Mansions of Huai'an.

However, the emperor has ordered the first three things, and the results must be seen within this year.

"It's so good."

Chen Wang said: "This matter is of great importance, and there is no room for loss. There is no rush for the New Deal, but these three matters must be roughly settled within one month. The digging of the canal is beneficial to the people's livelihood, and it can be put on the bright side. , the king can come forward and take charge of this matter; as for the armory workshop, you have to supervise it yourself; for the horse farm, I have already selected someone..."

The man in black replied in a low voice, and said again: "The Zhuang's business may be destroyed within this month. Is there anyone for the prince?"

King Chen paused for a moment before saying: "The Zhuang's business is just a trivial matter, so don't worry about it for now. When I wait for the big things to get straightened out, I will transfer people from the capital to take over the affairs of the Zhuang's business when I find some free time. .”

The man in black said: "Although Zhuang's firm is only a private business, it has accumulated a lot of wealth. The richest party, Zhuang Ming, is known as the richest man in the sixteen prefectures of Huai'an. After taking over, he must have such strong financial resources. The prince can do more things. .”

Chen Wang nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Go down..."

The man in black gave a salute and was about to step back.

However, at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

The man in black hesitated slightly.

Chen Wang waved his hand slightly, looked at the rockery, and made a slight gesture.

The black-clothed man immediately understood, used lightness kung fu, and hid behind the rockery.

King Chen, with his hands behind his back, looked at the southern sky with his expression still the same.

"My lord..."

The one who came in a hurry was a young guard in Huai'an, but seeing his pale face and unsteady breathing, he hurriedly said, "Something has happened!"

Chen Wang frowned slightly, turned around, and shouted: "What's the point of being in a panic? Are all the servants in Fengcheng so unprofessional? What can't you talk about calmly?"

The officer was young and had never seen the world, so he lowered his head when he was scolded like this, his tone was much weaker, and he said in a low voice: "There is a murder case, Mr. Zhao has already left, stabilize the situation and let The little one is here to invite the prince to go over..."

Unhappy, King Chen waved his sleeves and said, "The mighty Dongsheng Dynasty has a huge population. Which city has never had a murder case? It's a big fuss, I don't have any knowledge..."

The guard became more and more trembling, and tried to slow down his tone, saying: "This is a big case."

Wang Chen looked down, with disdain on his brows, and said: "Little Fengcheng, what big crime can happen? Is it a natural disaster? Or some bandit robbery? How many people died? Or is there some court official?"

The guard hesitated and said, "This..."

King Chen said impatiently: "Speak! I have been in charge of the army for ten years, what scene have you not seen?"

The guard hurriedly responded: "Whether it's an official ordered by the court, or the people sent by the prince to survey the terrain of Fengcheng, they were all killed..."

Chen Wang seemed to have been struck by lightning and was stunned there.

"My lord?"

"What did you say?" Chen Wang's complexion changed suddenly, and he shouted angrily, "Say it again?"

"My lord..." The guard was taken aback, he didn't expect that the lord, who just seemed to be in front of a landslide and didn't change his face, was full of anger and murderous intent at this moment.

"You said that the people I sent out were killed?"

"Yes... yes... my lord, he was killed..."

"Bastard!" Chen Wang's complexion changed, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he shouted: "How many people died?"

"This..." The guard took a deep breath, recalling the words of King Chen just now, barely suppressed the shock in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and said lightly: "The eighty-five people sent by the prince were all killed. Less than a hundred people."

"roll!"

When Chen Wang heard this, his eyes went dark, and seeing the bastard said this lightly, he burst into anger immediately, and was about to draw his sword to kill.

Unexpectedly, he reached out his hand to his waist, but found that there was no saber, so he suddenly kicked the guard down hard.

"roll!"

King Chen sternly said: "If you don't leave me, I will kill you!"

The guard was so frightened that he couldn't bear the shit, and fled out in a panic.

Chen Wang's face was extremely gloomy, and he shouted: "Check!"

The black-clothed man behind the rockery hurriedly appeared, with a dignified expression, and saluted, "Your subordinate will go and investigate."
