Chapter 537 Are you asking me again if the sword is sharp?(2/2)

Li Ke told what happened, and Zongze understood everything.

"Where is Mr. Yue Shuai?"

"I heard that there were rebels on Jiangnan West Road, so Commander Yue led his army southward overnight to put down the rebellion!"

Zongze nodded happily. With Yue Fei, he felt much more at ease.

These are troubled times, with the New Deal going south and the golden thieves exerting pressure, the South really needs thunderous measures.

Liu Biao knelt on the ground and shouted: "Mr. Zong, spare your life! The common people know who is behind the scenes. As long as Mr. Zong spares the people, the common people will reveal the mastermind!"

"Okay, I will spare your life, and you will recruit me immediately and truthfully!"

"It was Lu Yi, the Jiangdong transfer envoy, who instigated the common people to do all this, and Chen Bangguang, it was them! They instigated the common people to do everything!"

"Nonsense! They are imperial officials. Although they have failed in their duties, how could they rebel?"

"What the grassroots said is absolutely true. Then Chen Bangguang asked the grassroots to find someone to deliberately surround the prefect's Yamen and cause trouble. He also instigated the people to make the matter bigger and bigger, forcing the court to compromise."

"Why force the court to compromise?"

"Because we have lent usurious loans to the private sector and have a lot of land. They all say that the new government of the imperial court wants to go south. The local landlords and gentry are not willing to pay taxes, so we are causing trouble."

Zongze immediately asked people to pick up Lu Yi and Chen Bangguang.

Zongze handed Liu Biao's confession to Lu Yi.

After Lu Yi read it, he remained silent for a long time.

Zongze said: "Have you nothing to say?"

Lu Yi sighed and said: "Mr. Zong, listen to my advice, this matter is not something you can afford!"

"How dare you talk nonsense in front of me!" Zongze slapped the table angrily, "The imperial court trusts you, so it appointed you as the envoy to Jiangdong. Look what you have done!"

"Mr. Zong, do you know how many people in Jiangdong have more than fifty acres of land? It's nine out of ten! When the New Deal comes, everyone will rebel!" Lu Yi said loudly, his eyes bloodshot, "And those in the court

Official, who doesn’t want to have fields in Jiangdong and Jiangxi? Those are rice fields! If you continue to investigate, you will offend half of the people in the court! This will force the entire south to rebel!"

On July 15, a copy of the Jiangdong General Report was placed on Zhao Ning's court case, written by Zong Ze himself.

On the morning of July 16th, Zhao Ning had a gloomy face. No one had spoken yet, but he spoke first.
