Chapter 1591: Using the People

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fan Jianxi had even sent people to guard the lane from Lizhou to the capital, especially the people who had been exploited and dressed shabbily. The rich and despotic gentry would not be so blind as to complain to the capital.

They had a high-ranking official backing them up. If they could suppress it, the rich and despotic could live a good life. Naturally, they would not stir up this hornet’s nest.

Seeing that the Supreme Court and the current Prime Minister were also involved, it was no wonder that this matter could be suppressed.

However, since this handwriting belonged to Great General Qiu, they decided to read the rest. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan found several other letters with the same handwriting and flipped through them.

The contents of the letter were about General Qiu not only helping Fan Jianxi to suppress the situation in Lizhou, but also instructing Fan Jianxi to do something here, including recruiting soldiers and buying horses.

It turned out that those who did not pay enough taxes were not captured to be laborers or to build palaces or temples. Instead, they were captured to be banished to the army and even served as Great General Qiu’s private soldiers.

It seemed that this Great General Qiu had the intention to usurp the throne.

“My love, look at this.” Xue Yan suddenly pointed to the last letter written by Great General Qiu and said, “Prince Che’s butler is mentioned here. He even mentioned Treasure Bank. So the person behind Treasure Bank is Prince Che, and behind Prince Che is naturally…”

Jiang Yue looked in the direction where Xue Yan was pointing and saw the words at the end of the letter.

“Don’t you dare to have any ideas about Treasure Bank! Didn’t your uncle tell you that behind Treasure Bank is Prince Che? Prince Che is backed by the Emperor. That is the Emperor’s bank. It’s all thanks to your uncle being the steward of Prince Che’s estate and you relying on his financial support to grow up that he treats you like his own son. Even if you didn’t say anything, he would have helped to suppress the news here from Prince Che. Otherwise, with so many branches of Treasure Bank in Lizhou, Prince Che would have ended up hearing about your plans!”

“So, Prince Che has nothing to do with this matter.” Jiang Yue concluded.

“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded. “This net is really big. Out of the three powerful people, two of them are involved. Although Prince Che isn’t in it, his butler is. It’s not strange that Shi Yuan doesn’t know about it.”

Jiang Yue figured out the situation and knew how big the net was and how many officials had to be caught. “The current Prime Minister has something that Qiu Pusheng can use against him. That’s why he helped to cover up this matter and not let the Emperor, Shi Yuan, know about it. No matter what evidence Qiu Pusheng has against him, there’s no reason to look into it. When Shi Yuan gets these, he will naturally send people to investigate it. Those who are guilty will be punished, and those who are innocent will not be wronged. A person who can unify the world should have such courage to cleanse the world of filth.”

“Yes.” Xue Yan nodded and also felt so.

Then, Jiang Yue put the small wooden box and the things on the bookshelf into the s.p.a.ce. These were all evidence. It was best if they all fell into Shi Yuan’s hands.

“Put those big wooden boxes in too,” Xue Yan said. “In case Fan Jianxi wakes up and finds out that he has no backup plan, he will be suspicious and want to run away with these. In the future, these will also be given to Shi Yuan. Shi Yuan can reduce the taxes of the people by twenty percent so that every citizen will only need to pay a bit of taxes. I believe that what is taken from the people will be used by the people.”

Jiang Yue thought so too, so she nodded. Then, she put the large wooden boxes into her s.p.a.ce.
