Chapter 793: Taking action against the Su family

Hou Shikai arrived faster than Yun Zheng expected.

At noon the next day, Hou Shikai rushed to the palace of Sifang County.

Yunzheng summoned Hou Shikai in his study.

"You came quite quickly!"

Yun Zheng looked at Hou Shikai with a smile, "It's been quite a journey, hasn't it?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Hou Shikai quickly apologized and said, "The prince has summoned me, so I don't dare to delay."

It's really frustrating.

He came all the way from Shuofang on horseback.

Although it was not as fast as the eight hundred miles, I was still running hard.

Fortunately, it was still cold and he wore thick clothes, otherwise, his thighs would be worn out.

"sit down!"

Yunzheng pointed to the seat next to him and asked someone to make tea for Hou Shikai.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hou Shikai was flattered and thanked him repeatedly.

Yun Zheng signaled the maid who was making tea to step back, and immediately looked at Hou Shikai, "Time is running out, so I won't beat you around the bush! How is your relationship with the Su family of Juping?"

Juping Su family?

Hou Shikai was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then answered honestly: "The villain has some friendship with the Juping Su family, but the friendship is not deep..."

Hou Shikai was originally from Muzhou.

And Juping was at the junction of the three states, and the Hou family had some business dealings with the Su family in Juping.

Part of the grain he had transported to Shuobei was purchased from the Juping Su family. However, the Juping Su family took advantage of the high grain prices in the pass to sell a lot of grain, and he did not buy it from the Juping Su family. I bought too much food in my hands.

It was precisely because of this that he failed to complete the contract.

Yun Zheng asked again: "Did you tell the people of the Su family in Juping about our contract?"

"No no!"

Hou Shikai shook his head quickly, "The villain was afraid that they would sit down and raise the price after knowing about the contract, so he didn't dare to tell them about the contract, including other people who sold grain to the villain, the villain didn't say anything..."

"You're quite smart."

Yun Zheng was determined and immediately said with a smile: "I have called you here because I want you to help me with something. As long as it is done, I will reduce your debt of two hundred thousand taels!"

Relieve the debt of 200,000 taels of silver?

Hou Shi was so shocked that he could hardly believe his ears.

Although Yun Zheng was not in a hurry to collect debts from him, the money owed to Yun Zheng was still owed.

Yunzheng has a lot of troops, so he doesn't dare to default on his debt, right?

If the debt of 200,000 taels is reduced or exempted, the pressure of his debt will be much less!

However, after the surprise, Hou Shixin secretly became confused.

Yunzheng is a prince with a lot of troops!

What can you do to help?

How much help is required to be worth two hundred thousand taels of silver!

Do you have the ability to help Yunzheng so much?

How virtuous and capable are you?

Hou Shikai fell into deep self-doubt and was not overly surprised by this pie-in-the-sky thing.

He had already been fooled once and no longer believed in pie-in-the-sky things.

When you think pie is falling from the sky, what falls is likely to be a stone that smashes people's heads and bleeds, or even a boulder that crushes people into a pulp!

Seeing Hou Shikai not speaking for a long time, Yun Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Why, you don't want to?"

"no no……"

Hou Shikai tried his best to keep calm, shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm unwilling, but because I really don't know what virtues and abilities a villain has, yet he can actually help the prince..."

"The thing is actually very simple." Yun Zheng smiled, "As long as you don't expose the secret, these two hundred thousand taels of silver are almost given to you for free..."

With that said, Yunzheng briefly talked to Hou Shikai about cleaning up the Su family in Juping.

After listening to Yunzheng's words, Hou Shikai suddenly understood.

Yun Zheng asked himself to help him deceive the Ju Ping Su family!

He didn't know why the Juping Su family offended Yun Zheng, but there was no doubt that Yun Zheng personally took action against the Juping Su family, and the Juping Su family would definitely not be in trouble.

Maybe, the Juping Su family will soon go bankrupt!

If he had to make a choice between Yun Zheng and the Juping Su family, he would definitely choose to help Yun Zheng without any hesitation.

However, Hou Shikai is now smarter.

Naturally, everyone would be happy if this thing was done, but if it hadn't been done, I wonder if Yun Zheng would hold him accountable.

Hou Shikai thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what if this thing doesn't work out..."

"rest assured!"

Yun Zheng knew Hou Shikai's concerns and said with a smile: "As long as you work hard, even if you don't succeed, I will give you a reward of ten thousand taels of silver! However, no matter whether this task is completed or not, you can't take this matter for granted." Tell others!”

Is that so?

If you don't succeed, you won't be punished, and you can still get 10,000 taels of silver?

Ten thousand taels of silver is not much.

Shuobei is even exempt from business tax this year!

It must be very easy to earn back ten thousand taels of silver.

But if you help Yunzheng get this done, won't the relationship become closer?

Now that you are on the Jingbei King line, are you still worried about not being able to earn more money in the future?

Damn it!

It doesn’t matter if it can’t be done anyway!

No matter what, you have to give it a try!

If you get things done, you will have a big backer from now on!

After weighing the pros and cons, Hou Shi felt happy, stood up and said: "It's rare for the prince to look up to the villain, and the villain is willing to do the hard work for the prince!"

"very good!"

Yun Zheng smiled with satisfaction and said with relief: "This matter is not as difficult as you think. As long as you are careful and don't arouse the suspicion of the Juping Su family, this is a sure thing!"

With that said, Yunzheng told Hou Shikai his plan in detail.

After he was sure to ask Hou Shikai to do this, he explained it in detail.

Yun Zheng informed Hou Shikai of the detailed plans, details that needed attention, etc.

The more Hou Shikai listened, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

This prince's methods are too powerful.

No wonder they were deceived by this prince and cried for mercy.

For this, Yun Zheng was probably showing mercy.

Otherwise, they would be deceived so much that they would lose everything and not even know what was going on.

Yun Zheng said this for half an hour, and Hou Shikai listened very carefully. If he had any questions, he asked immediately, and Yun Zheng also gave corresponding answers.

When the two of them finished chatting, Hou Shikai already felt like he was sweating profusely, and he still felt faintly sympathetic to the Juping Su family.

It’s not good to offend anyone, but this living king of hell!

The Juping Su clan is just the largest clan in Fuzhou.

And this prince is the most powerful prince in Daqian!

Yun Zheng's mouth went dry as he spoke, so he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the cold tea, then asked, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"There should be...more."

Hou Shikai smiled sheepishly, "But at this moment, even a villain can't tell."

"It's okay."

Yun Zheng smiled kindly and said, "I have already prepared the things for you. You can rest in the palace for a night and then think about the whole plan carefully. If you don't understand something, ask again tomorrow!"

Hou Shikai nodded, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
