Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Having said this, Wang Xuance stopped.

Wang Hongfu was stunned. He thought his cousin was too bold.

Are you willing to risk your life for money?

Although Anxi is thousands of miles away from here, as long as it is within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, how could you possibly cover the sky with one hand?

Sooner or later it will be discovered.

Doesn't my cousin have any brains? How can he be so stupid?

Wang Hongfu had already imagined in his mind everything that had happened, more than 600,000 strings of cash.

It took me more than ten years to earn a few hundred thousand taels of gold.

This cousin earned more than 600,000 strings of cash in just a few years.

And looking at the accounts, it turns out that the embezzlement was in the last two years.

The palace must have sent someone to conduct an undercover investigation in the local area and learned the actual purchase price from the local people.

"Wang Hongfu, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Shen looked at Wang Hongfu with a sharp gaze, which made Wang Hongfu shudder.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I really don't know about this matter. I really don't know about it."

Wang Hongfu kowtowed and cried.

"Hmph, Wang Hongfu, tell me, should I believe you?"

Li Shen sat up, shirtless, and looked at Wang Hongfu coldly.

Wang Hongfu clearly sensed murderous intent from Prince Ji.

He quickly crouched down a few steps and came in front of Li Shen.

"Your Majesty, please believe me. I really don't dare to deceive you. I know nothing about this.

I swear, if I knew, I would die as an apology."

Wang Hongfu kowtowed repeatedly and begged continuously.

He knew that he was on the verge of life and death, and whether he could survive depended on King Ji's decision.

The cousin whom he recommended actually conspired with outsiders to defraud the Prince Ji's Mansion of a huge amount of money. As the chief manager, he could not escape the blame.

More than 600,000 strings of cash is enough for the Wang family to die many times.

Li Shen didn't say anything. He just watched Wang Hongfu kowtow continuously until his forehead was bruised, but Li Shen didn't stop him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am willing to offer 600,000 strings of cash, no, 700,000 strings of cash, to make up for the loss of Prince Ji's Mansion.

I hope Your Majesty will show mercy and give me a chance. I will handle this matter personally.

I will definitely give the prince a satisfactory answer."

Seeing that Li Shen didn't say anything, Wang Hongfu didn't care about anything else. The Wang family couldn't just fall like this. They finally had a chance to turn things around.

"Make up for it? What can you do to make up for it? Do you think it's as simple as Wang Wencheng just embezzling more than 600,000 strings of cash?

If it were that simple, would I be so angry? "

"Oh!"

Li Shen shouted angrily and threw the teacup in his hand heavily in front of Wang Hongfu, breaking it into pieces.

This frightened Wang Hongfu so much that he trembled and became dumbfounded.

From what Prince Ji said, it seems that it is not just about embezzlement, there are other things involved.

How many things has my cousin done?

“Shopkeeper Wang, Wang Wencheng did not just conspire with the tribal leaders to lower the price of cotton for the common people.

He also eliminated dissidents and used tribal leaders to kill more than twenty people.

In addition, he used his status to bully men and women and exploit the people in the Anxi Protectorate.

They suppressed the wages of the workshop workers and falsified the number of workers, all by borrowing the power of Prince Ji's Mansion.

He also set up his own workshop there to make profits for himself.

He sold the cotton cloth he produced to several nobles there, including Duke Zhao, and the family’s workshop.

When we sanctioned the Gao family, except for some of their cotton that was purchased by the Zhaoguo Mansion, all of it was bought by Wang Wencheng's workshop and sold to the Ji Wang Mansion through the Gao family.

So the Gao family was not affected at all that time.

The total wealth he earned from Prince Ji's Mansion over the years amounted to nearly one million strings of cash.

He also raped more than 20 women over the years, and beat and killed 11 of them."

"how is this possible?"

As Wang Xuance told the story, Wang Hongfu was shocked beyond words.

He didn't even know how to describe his own temperament now.

What Wang Wencheng did was simply unbelievable to him. If Wang Xuance had not said that he had investigated it thoroughly,

He'll think it's a joke.

His cousin is just an ordinary person who also did some business in his early years.

How could he suddenly change so much and commit such a big crime?

In fact, just like Li Shen, Li Shen also thought it was impossible when he first heard it.

Not to mention being the manager of a place, even the Grand Protector of Anxi Protectorate would not dare to do such a big thing.

He amassed millions of taels of wealth, set up private workshops, colluded with outsiders, oppressed the people, raped women, and even killed others.

Few corrupt officials throughout the dynasties could have done so many things.

The worst incident involving Li Shenyue was the incident with Xi Bian and Li Dabian, when he embezzled money for river cleaning.

It is not wrong to oppress and oppress the people and kill so many people.

Li Shen even wondered who gave Wang Wencheng the courage.

If he were an official, this would definitely be recorded in history. This is a shocking case.

Li Shen was not that angry about the embezzlement of some money. Although 600,000 strings of cash was a huge sum of money, Li Shen could still accept it.

What Li Shen could not accept the most was that Wang Wencheng had been using his name outside.

He said that lowering the price for cotton farmers was his own idea, and he also said that lowering the price for workshop craftsmen was his own idea.

He also deceived the local leaders and said what he meant.

They also collude with outsiders and betray their own people.

His reputation in the Anxi Protectorate was already as bad as it could be.

This is when Li Shen was most angry.

"Wang Hongfu, is there anything else you want to say to me?

I have treated your Wang family well, right?

What? Are you, the Wang family, planning to empty out my Ji Palace?

Or are you, Wang Hongfu, planning to take over the magpie's nest?

Would you like me to give you the title of King Ji as well?

ah???"

The whole study was filled with Li Shen's anger. In order to be free and happy, he left all things to his subordinates.

He believed that in a feudal society with such strict class ideology, even if there were betrayals, they would not be too common.

But it only took a few years for Li Shen to meet her.

Being betrayed is really unpleasant, it not only makes you angry but also sad.

"I dare not, I dare not, Your Majesty, please calm down."

Wang Hongfu didn't care about the teacup residue on the ground and continued to kowtow.

“Humph, it seems that this king is too good to your Wang family.

Since I can give it to you, I can also take it back. If Wang Wencheng dies, you will die too.

I want everyone to know what the consequences are for betraying me.

Anyone who betrays this king will suffer a bad end."

Li Shen screamed and roared, completely losing his mind.

The betrayal came too suddenly and he could hardly accept it.

(Many people may not understand the protagonist’s feelings. The author is nearly 40 years old and has experienced betrayal.

The feeling of loss, sadness and anger is no less than that of a broken heart.

Losing that little bit of money is nothing, but the feeling is terrible.

So here is a piece of advice for all the young book lovers: no matter how good the relationship is, you should always be careful when doing things.

Be more cautious when speaking.)
