Chapter 1818: Excessive Bloodlust, A Stain on Heaven and Ear

our Highness knew that you have exhausted yourselves just to make Your Highness smile, with such filial piety, would Your Highness possibly forget you In the future, if Your Highness needs people, wou...Chapter 1818: Excessive Cruelty, Against Heaven's Harmony

Lin Huai Zhang didn't expect that all of this stemmed from just Hu Fei's guess.

At this moment, he had endless anger that burned within him like a raging fire.

Just because of Hu Fei's guess, he would have to see this indelible scene for a lifetime. Needless to say, the tragic state of the Chen family he witnessed today would become his heart demon, tormenting him day and night.

And these, were just because of Hu Fei's guess!

"Panting heavily, Lin Huaizhang couldn't help but ask angrily, "Are you this brutal because that's what the imperial court wants"

Hu Fei let out a sneer and said, "The court Those high-ranking officials who issue orders only care about giving them. They have no idea how difficult it is to carry them out below! The saying 'one mouth at the top, legs run until they break at the bottom' is something you don't understand In order to complete the tasks they assign, the people below might use more brutal methods, so what As long as they get their achievements and we complete the mission, everyone benefits."

Lin Huaizhang thought to himself, "As expected!" Filled with righteous anger, he laughed and said, "Then aren't you afraid of oppressing people too much, causing widespread public resentment"

"By then, you'll have caused a big mess, and won't you be the ones in trouble"

Hu Fei said as if he had heard a joke, "Big chaos What big chaos could there be We don't target those poor people who are scraping by. We specifically target you wealthy people. This is called robbing the rich to help the poor. The common people would cheer and wouldn't have time to resent us."

Besides, the Jinyiwei, when have we ever been afraid of trouble It's always those around us who fear the Jinyiwei coming for them.

Saying that, Hu Fei patted Lin Huaizhang's face and said, "Alright, I've shown you the play. Be obedient and come with me. Just like before, don't have any thoughts you shouldn't have, or waste your intelligence. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing off every single member of the Lin family."

This sentence caused Lin Huai Zhang's thousands of flames of anger to extinguish instantly.

He lay sprawled on the ground, utterly drained of all strength.

Lifting his gaze to the overcast sky with a weary effort, he simply wanted to know: was there still any hope left in this world

And at this moment, within the mansion of the Capital's Tax Bureau.

Zhou Ping'an was so bored that he yawned repeatedly. He turned his head to Zhou Changshou, who was quietly sipping tea beside him, and said: "When these things are over, I must suggest to His Highness that the tax bureau be strengthened. Now, the tax bureau is completely a clean government office. When going out to collect taxes, from the provinces to the capital, no one takes the tax bureau seriously. They all pay lip service at best, and if they encounter a bad attitude, they simply ignore the inquiries, let alone auditing."

"It was a good policy in theory, but without supervision and enforcement at the lower levels, it just became a joke."

Zhou Changshou said unassumingly, “The appearance of the tax bureau is like putting a knife on the neck of every official. The bigger their power, the sharper the knife. Who would be happy to see this Your Highness must have calculated this, wanting the authority of the tax bureau to be established, you also need to catch some typical examples and execute a batch of people.”

Zhou Ping'an happily said, "It's rare for us to agree. We should give advice to the prince together then; he will definitely agree."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhou Changshou did not continue the conversation. Instead, he frowned and said, "The actions of the Jinyi Guard are too big."

"Though the intention was to establish them as a force to eliminate a certain group of people, if their ruthlessness went too far, it would be detrimental to harmony."

But the effect is also very good, and it's immediate!
