Chapter 754: Cowardly

This can be regarded as a disguised way of fulfilling Zong Yuchang's idea of ​​revenge on the Zong family.

Let those people he hate be forced to commit suicide in front of him, and watch those relatives who did not regard him as a human being in the past show hatred, despair, pleading, or resentment and curse on their faces. For Zong Yuchang, perhaps he can get a little psychological satisfaction.

And no matter how much the Zong family hates, they will die in the end.

"My lord." Xie Jin hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but speak, "Do I have to go back to Mianzhou again?"

If he is sent to Mianzhou to take office, does he have to stay in Mianzhou for three or two years?

Rong Yu said in a light tone: "This king plans to let you and Xuanyuan Chen go to Mianzhou to take charge of the subsequent flood control and post-disaster reconstruction, but you don't need to stay in Mianzhou for a long time. You can come back in half a year. At that time, Xuanyuan Chen will stay in Mianzhou as the governor."

Xuanyuan Chen was surprised.

He is the governor of Mianzhou?

Xie Jinming understood that the master was worried about Xuanyuan Chen, worried that he was not experienced enough and courageous enough, and that he was unfamiliar with the local people in Mianzhou and could not fight against the remaining local forces, so he asked him to support him for a while.

Tsk.

He felt like Xuanyuan Chen's father, teaching him how to be an official.

"As for Zong Yuchang, I will give you a chance." Rong Yu said indifferently, "All the illegal income of the Zong family will be confiscated, and you will take over the legitimate business on the surface. You don't have to hand over 70% of the income, just 50-50. You keep 50% for the Zong family's turnover and workers' salaries, and the other 50% will be handed over to the local government as a blessing to the people. If you can persist for ten years, I will give you another reward."

Zong Yuchang thought he had heard it wrong.

So the regent did not intend to punish him, but gave him a chance - except that the Zong family was not pardoned, other aspects barely met his request.

The tense mind relaxed slightly, Zong Yuchang kowtowed to express gratitude: "The guilty people obey the order, thank His Royal Highness the Regent for a thousand years."

The meeting ended.

"Go back and rest when you need to go back, and reorganize the troops when you need to reorganize the troops." Rong Yu said calmly, "Everyone go down, don't be late for the morning court tomorrow."

Xuanyuan Yao said: "My Lord, I don't need to go to court."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xie Jin twisted his waist, "We all go to court, but you are the only one who wants to be special?"

Xuanyuan Yao turned his head and glanced at him: "Who are you? It's just you and Xuanyuan Chen?"

Chu Nanyi and Mo Ling'an didn't need to go to court, so naturally he, a military general, didn't need to go either, just concentrate on training the troops.

Who would like to deal with those old foxes who are scheming in the court?

"Tomorrow morning, we will reward the merits, why don't you come and try?" Xie Jin said in a faint voice, "You don't want rewards?"

"I don't need rewards." Xuanyuan Yao answered very loyally, "It is my duty to be loyal to the Lord."

Xie Jin's mouth twitched.

Chu Nanyi and Mo Lingan shook their heads and left calmly.

Rong Yu ignored them. Obviously, he did not intend to give a mandatory requirement for the court session. They could make their own judgment. If Xuanyuan Yao felt that he should go to court, he could go. If he felt that it was unnecessary, he could choose not to go.

Of course, not going would be regarded as giving up the reward.

"Zong Yuchang will follow Xie Jin." Rong Yu ordered, "Xie Jin will temporarily arrange his residence."

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yao looked at Zong Yuchang with a somewhat unkind look. After thinking about it, he decided that he should still go to court on time tomorrow.

Although training soldiers is more important, the Black Obsidian Army has performed very well during this period, so it is okay for them to relax.

Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao soon followed suit and left. Although Zong Yuchang acted very fearless before entering the palace, the fact proved that no one was really fearless. In front of absolute power, he had to be as obedient as a cat to survive.

As Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao left the palace, he was as quiet as air throughout the whole process.

"What happened to Young Master Zong?" Mo Ling'an, who was waiting outside the palace, saw Zong Yuchang following Xie Jin out. "He looks listless. Is he scared?"

Zong Yuchang raised his head and looked at him expressionlessly, then lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment: "The Regent is quite scary."

As soon as this was said, the others fell silent.

Xuanyuan Yao glanced at him, thinking that you were quite arrogant before, but you turned out to be a coward.

However, seeing that Zong Yuchang was indeed a little frightened, he suppressed the ridicule that rolled to his throat. It was not the style of a military officer to kick someone when he was down.

Besides, this person didn't do anything else excessive except being mean.

As for why he was so scared, they could understand it. After all, the momentum and pressure of his master were not something that ordinary people could easily bear. Compared with the king's harsh words, the oppressive feeling of controlling life and death without making a sound was the most frightening.

Besides, Zong Yuchang was just a teenager after all.

Xuanyuan Chen has been in the officialdom for such a long time, but he still doesn't have the courage to face the Regent.
