The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Chapter 71 I will accompany you! (Please vote for me and read it later)
The next day, in the east wing of the governor's mansion.

Murong Changkong walked out of the study with a calm expression and was about to instruct the factory guards to do something.

The factory guard, holding a bag, spoke first, "Your Excellency, here are over 300 letters, all accusing His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."

Murong Changkong said, "Take them with you and follow me."

"Yes." The factory guard followed Murong Changkong respectfully, holding the bag.

Murong Changkong walked towards the hall of the governor's mansion. He already understood that this was the method used by King Jin Qin Changqing.

As expected of a prince second only to Qin Chang'an, Qin Changqing himself is already a capable minister throughout history. Murong Changkong, the newly crowned third place winner, is really not good enough in front of Qin Changqing.

……

In the hall of the governor's mansion.

Haizhou Governor Chu Taxing looked at Murong Changkong and asked, "Your Excellency, Imperial Envoy, do you have any instructions? I will certainly do it."

After all, Murong Changkong represents Emperor Yongchang Qin Chang'an, so Chu Taxing can only obey his orders.

"These are all complaints from the people against His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. Please handle them as appropriate, Governor." Murong Changkong said lightly.

"Uh……"

Chu Taxing looked at the pile of letters with a stiff expression. He didn't expect that Murong Changkong had figured out the whole matter in just one day.

"Of course. Supervising the vassal kings is the duty of the governor. I will definitely deal with it as soon as possible." Chu Taxing nodded.

The next moment, Murong Changkong said calmly, "Next, I will investigate the case of the Zhu family father and son. I would like to ask for your full assistance, Governor."

"Yes." Chu Taxing's face was a little serious. "Just give your orders, Governor."

Murong Changkong said calmly, "Who owns this Black Bamboo Mine?"

Chu Taxing said: "It was originally the Zhu family father and son."

"Originally?" Murong Changkong raised his eyebrows.

Chu Taxing continued, "It was later purchased by His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. All the necessary procedures were completed, and there were no violations."

"Oh?" Murong Changkong asked, "Can I see the procedures?"

"Of course." Chu Taxing immediately ordered his servants, "Go and call the Mining Department Ambassador."

"Yes." The servant retreated respectfully.

……

Soon, the mining ambassador hurried over and saluted respectfully to the governor Chu Taxing and the imperial envoy Murong Changkong.

"Greetings to the Imperial Envoy and the Governor." The mining ambassador had a goatee and some cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Murong Changkong said calmly, "Mining Ambassador, I heard that the Black Bamboo Mine deal was handled by you?"

"That's right." The Mining Ambassador nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Murong Changkong asked, "How much is this mine worth?"

The Mining Ambassador replied, "It's worth 10 million spirit stones."

Murong Changkong nodded. This was in line with the normal value of the mine. The total amount of ore contained in it was definitely more than 10 million spirit stones.

However, the cost of mining and the interest that can be generated after obtaining 10 million spirit stones at once are the key factors that determine the price of the mine.

"If that's the case, why did the Zhu father and son file a complaint with the authorities?" Murong Changkong looked at the governor Chu Taxing.

Chu Taxing said, "The Zhu family father and son are greedy and fickle. The deal has already been agreed, but they still want to add money. However, the payment has already been made, so His Majesty will naturally not pay any attention to them."

Murong Changkong said calmly, "Because the Zhu family father and son kept pestering you, did the prince hire someone to kill you?"

"Your Excellency, please be careful with your words."

Chu Taxing said calmly, "The Zhu family father and son are rich but unkind. Who knows how many enemies they have offended? It's a journey that will eventually lead to encountering a tiger. Being assassinated is a trap of their own making. They can't blame others."

"So, the case of the Zhu family father and son has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?" Murong Changkong asked.

Chu Taxing nodded and said, "This is the result of my investigation. If the Imperial Envoy doesn't believe it, you can continue the investigation."

Murong Changkong said calmly, "I will consider this myself."

The mining ambassador on the side was a little nervous. One was a first-rank official and a governor, and the other was a fifth-rank imperial envoy representing Emperor Yongchang. The two were confronting each other.

The Mining Ambassador, a minor official of the ninth rank, was afraid that if he was not careful, he would be affected and reduced to ashes.

"Your Excellency, do you need the Mining Ambassador to provide a certificate of mine transfer?" Chu Taxing asked calmly.

The Mining Class Ambassador was also staring at Chu Xingkong. Of course, there was proof, and it was absolutely flawless.

Murong Changkong shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Chu Taxing and the Mining Ambassador were both stunned.

Murong Changkong stood up and said, "I will continue to investigate this matter and will ask for cooperation from the governor later."

"No problem." Chu Taxing nodded, looking at Murong Changkong with some suspicion. What was this guy up to? ...

……

Murong Changkong returned to the east wing of the governor's mansion.

In the courtyard, Murong Changkong turned around and looked at the two factory guards and said, "There should be someone from your East Factory here, right?"

"Yes, sir!" The factory guard clasped his fists and said, "According to your majesty's order, all members of the East Factory in Haizhou will accept your orders."

Murong Changkong said calmly, "Go and help me with something."

"Yes." The factory guards pricked up their ears.

Murong Changkong said calmly, "Find someone and sue King Jin!"

The factory guard's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he lowered his head and clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"

Watching the factory guards leave, Murong Changkong had a calm expression and looked up at the sky. The sky in Haizhou was originally clear, but it was temporarily covered by dark clouds.

However, the dark clouds will soon dissipate, and the sky will be clear and bright tomorrow!
Not long after, the factory guard returned and appeared in front of Murong Changkong.

"Your Excellency, the person has been brought here." said the factory guard.

Murong Changkong looked at the simply dressed farmer in front of him and asked, "Are you from the East Factory?"

"Yes!" the farmer said in a loud voice.

Murong Changkong continued, "I want you to sue King Jin!"

"Yes!" the farmer's voice was firm and powerful.

Murong Changkong paused, "He will die."

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!" The farmer remained calm.

Murong Changkong took a deep breath and patted the farmer's shoulder, "I'll stay with you!"

"Yes!" The farmer's eyes were firm!

……

……

Jin Palace.

In the hall, King Jin Qin Changqing, King Ning Qin Changfeng, and King Zhou Qin Changjian gathered together.

"Murong Changkong is quite capable and saw through my second brother's plan," Qin Changfeng said.

"What should we do next?" Qin Changjian frowned.

Qin Changqing said calmly, "It's okay. He'll use the Black Bamboo Mine case as an excuse. I've already made arrangements. It's enough to delay him for ten days or half a month. We can think of other ways then."

"Second brother, if you take action, I guarantee that Murong Changkong will be at a loss!" Qin Changfeng said with a smile.

Qin Changjian sneered, "Old Four underestimated Second Brother. He only sent one person over. He's not even close to enough!"

Qin Changqing said calmly, "Smart people like the fourth brother always like to make a small profit with a big investment. They are so petty that they can never achieve great things!"

"Your Highness, the commander of the guards of the governor's mansion, Nangong Jueying, wants to see you. He said there is something extremely urgent!" At this time, the housekeeper of the Prince of Jin's mansion suddenly ran in.

Qin Changqing frowned, "Let him in."

At this time, Qin Changfeng and Qin Changjian had already stood up and walked to the backyard. It was not appropriate for them to appear in front of other people.

Nangong Jueying walked into the palace hall, knelt on one knee, and clasped his hands together. "Your Highness, the Imperial Envoy Murong Changkong wants to inquire about the whereabouts of the military pay."

Qin Changqing's expression suddenly changed. "Where did the news come from?"

Nangong Jueying said, "Someone has accused the prince of embezzling military funds."

Qin Changqing was silent.

Nangong Jueying said, "Murong Changkong has already gone to the military camp with the governor."

"I understand." Qin Changqing said lightly.

Nangong Jueying retreated respectfully.

Qin Changfeng and Qin Changjian returned to the hall and looked at Qin Changqing.

"Second brother..."

Obviously, Murong Changkong did not investigate the Black Bamboo Mine case, and Qin Changqing miscalculated.

"Interesting," Qin Changqing suddenly laughed. "Murong Changkong is an interesting guy. He's clearly a top scholar, but he doesn't have the complicated ideas of a scholar."

Qin Changfeng and Qin Changjian both looked at Qin Changqing with serious expressions.

Qin Changqing took a deep breath, "Since he wants to die, then let him do it!"
