"Your Highness's methods are really brilliant."

After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, Li Jun exclaimed and followed His Highness closely and walked backwards.

After returning to the yard, Xiao Zhengtai asked someone to make a pot of tea and sat in the yard and tasted it.

When the pot of tea was not finished, Li Junxian came to Xiao Zhengtai and whispered: "Your Highness, they are here."

Xiao Zhengtai nodded slightly and signaled that they would come in.

A moment later, several figures appeared in front of Xiao Zhengtai, but this time the few people were holding a brocade box in their hands. It was obvious that they had received notification from Wang Jian and came here.

"The lower-ranking official, the county magistrate of Yongdeng County, Niu Youde, pays homage to His Highness, King of Jin."

"Ma Jiangming, the magistrate of Gaolan County, pays homage to His Highness the King of Jin."

"The Xiaguan Yuzhong County Magistrate Wang Benliang, pay homage to His Highness the King of Jin."

After the three of them bowed respectfully to Xiao Zhengtai one after another, they handed the brocade box in their hands to Li Junxian beside them.

"Yes, it seems that what you magistrate, do is not useless."

After Li Junxian opened the brocade box, he placed it neatly in front of Xiao Zhengtai. When he saw what was placed inside, Xiao Zhengtai showed a sarcastic smile.

Originally, Xiao Zhengtai thought that these guys should give him something gold and silver, but the things inside really surprised him.

A mere county magistrate was able to take out so many gems that he almost shocked his chin.

"A slight polite gift is not respectful, as long as your highness is satisfied."

Seeing the smile on Xiao Zhengtai's cheek, the three of them looked at each other and hurriedly said with a smile.

"Take it!"

Just as the three of them were complacent, Xiao Zhengta's face suddenly changed and she directly issued an order.

After hearing the order, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu took down the three of them without saying a word.

"Your Highness, what do you mean? Where did the Xiaguan do not do well?"

The three of them did not show a look of panic, but looked at Xiaoshouta in confusion.

"Misunderstanding? I ask you, how much salary does the imperial court pay you every year? How much silver does this gem cost to buy?

Let’s look at the rotten city wall outside the city. I believe that all the official silver lent out by the court will be fed to you, right?”

Xiao Zhengtai said righteously, without any greed in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you can't say that. The Tang Dynasty is now peaceful and peaceful, and there is no threat to the surrounding area. Your Highness, your words are really too serious.

The emperor's power is vast, no one dares to invade here at all. Are you right?"

After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's words, the three of them realized that His Highness disliked their gifts for being too heavy.

This also made them understand that although the little guy in front of them was a prince, they would not have much money in their hands in Chang'an, otherwise they would not have been so surprised.

"Farting, once there is really an enemy invasion, how should we resist with Lanzhou's current state?

If there is no enemy, then tell me, what happened to those robbers who often invade the people?

If I am not mistaken, you should have deliberately not built the city walls to provide convenient conditions for those robbers, right?"

Xiao Zhengtai yelled in anger, as if very disappointed with local officials like them.

"Have you misunderstood something? In Lanzhou, there is a thriving scene. How could there be a robber? Your Highness, you have been deceived."

Wang Benliang looked at Xiao Zhengta in confusion, and his heart was filled with disdain. He was a robber and was justified in front of you. What can you do?

"Misunderstanding? I really hope it is a misunderstanding. The court has sent troops to suppress bandits many times but failed. I am really curious about who was secretly informing the messengers, so that they could return in disgrace."

Xiao Zhengtai looked at the three of them with a pale face and said word by word.

"Your Highness, you went to Lanzhou City today to see it. Have you ever found anything wrong?

If it is really like the rumored robbers are rampant, will the people still dare to go out to do business?"

Ma Jiangming raised his head and struggled hard in Cheng Chumo's hand, looking very angry.

"Well, this seems to make sense. I really haven't found anything wrong with it."

Xiao Zhengtai nodded slightly, as if he agreed with his statement, but a strange smile appeared on Suji's tender face and said, "I wonder if you can explain to me what the so-called rent payment at the end of the year means? Who should I give this rent to, and how much does each person have to pay?"

"The official does not understand what Your Highness means."

The three of them changed slightly, but they immediately turned into confusion and pretended not to know.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. I'll push them into prison. Think about it carefully. When did you figure it out, I'm here to tell me."

The three of them staged a scene in front of him for a long time, and Xiao Zhengtai was almost done. By the way, Cheng Chumo and others waved their hands.

"Your Highness, didn't you say you shouldn't alert the snake? What's the purpose of picking up these few small fish now?"

After returning, Qin Huaiyu looked at Xiao Zhengtai in confusion and asked these guys to come to him on his own initiative. He understood, but he was confused about what he did now.

"Although these three people are Xiaoyu, they are the spokespersons of the robbers. I did this so I was slapping them in the face. Now it depends on whether they can calm down."

Xiao Zhengtai said calmly, with a deep light appearing in his eyes. He knew that Wang Jian's status was far higher than a few people, but he did not choose him to take action.

"Your Highness, what if they give up on these people?"

Cheng Chumo asked uncertainly that the robbers had never had the courage to compete with the imperial army head-on. In his opinion, it was completely unnecessary for His Highness to do so.

"Don't forget that their target is this king. With their greed, such a thing will definitely happen. The reason why I let Wang Jian go is to let him pass on the message.

I have already established a greedy and playboy image for him before. Do you think he might give up?"

He has long accepted his fate for this pig teammate. Every time he makes a decision, he has long-term plans and never makes useless efforts.

"I understand. Your Highness is waiting for them to take the bait and then destroy them in one fell swoop."

Cheng Chumo suddenly realized that Your Highness was really sinister. No one could have thought that this inconspicuous little boy would have so many ideas.

"That's the reason. As long as I'm adding fire to him, I'm not afraid that they won't move."

Xiaozheng laughed confidently, no one could escape from his calculations.

"What? Your Highness, you are planning to bring two hundred people out of the city. Isn't that a little too reckless?"

After knowing Xiao Zhengtai’s suggestion, Li Junxian’s face changed instantly. He knew better than anyone else what His Highness meant to the Tang Dynasty.

If His Highness had any mistakes because of this matter, he would not dare to think about the consequences.

"Your Highness, think twice. Just dealing with mere robbers, there is no way to take risks on your own? I'd better take people out for a walk!"

Cheng Chumo also knew the seriousness of the situation and refused to agree to anything. He would rather die by himself than encounter any risks Xiao Zhengtai encountered.
