Chapter 1598 What is he calling the shots?

Shiche sat upright in the hall. Butler Fan took the tea from the maid and put it beside Shiche.

"My lord, this old slave has something to report."

Generally speaking, if you can say something directly, Steward Fan will say it directly. There is no need for this. Obviously, the thing you want to say now should not be heard by others. out, back out.

Butler Fan's eyes turned red, and he threw himself on his knees in front of Shi Che, "Your Highness! This old slave is ashamed of Your Highness!" After speaking, she still burst into tears.

"Uncle Fan, what's wrong with you?" Shi Che was extremely puzzled. When he was a child, he was taken out of the palace to play by the emperor's brother, and then got lost. It was the man in front of him who picked him up and took him to look for his emperor's brother everywhere on the street, and then he was able to return to the palace.

Later, when he was a little older, he had to move out of the palace, and he could no longer live in the palace. The prince had to move out of the palace when he reached a certain age. Unlike his brother who was a prince, he could still live in the palace. This person was not doing well before, so he let this person work in his house.

Because this person has good ability, he is also thoughtful in serving him, and being named a queen, this person will naturally become his housekeeper and help him take care of the palace.

Besides, it's been quite a few years...

So he still has a lot of feelings for the person in front of him, and he trusts the person in front of him very much. Generally, he also calls this person Uncle Fan.

Butler Fan hurriedly took out the long letter from his arms and gave it to him with both hands, even tearing up: "It was the old slave who taught his nephew that he had no way to let go of this big mistake."

Shiche was still a little puzzled, but he took the letter and read it. When he saw the contents of the letter, he stood up suddenly in shock.

Butler Fan was still in tears: "This old slave just wanted to put a lot of pressure on the tax, because that is the old slave's nephew, you know, my lord, this old slave has no son, just a nephew, and it hurts just like his own son. He collected heavy taxes in Lizhou, and the Noble Banks in Lizhou reported it. The old slave thought that there were only heavy taxes, but he didn't expect that there were so many things, so he helped to suppress it, and didn't report it to the lord. I know, now, the backhands he left have all been taken away, and I don't know who took it away. He asked the old slave to report this. He must have known that his death penalty was inevitable. It's not a pity for the old slave to die, but I ask the lord to see that his conscience has not been completely wiped out, and he wants to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Please help the emperor to spare his wife and children. His wife and children are nothing. You know, he's in charge of everything."

Shi's face was as deep as iron, "You really only knew that he had a heavy tax before, and didn't know anything else?"

Noble Bank can not only deposit and withdraw money to make money, but it is actually a channel for him to collect information from various places.

Butler Fan immediately kowtowed heavily, his kowtow broke blood, and he cried, "My lord treats the old slave with a great grace, if the old slave still tells a lie now, it will be struck by thunder, and he will never be born again!"

Looking at the blood on the ground, Shi Che couldn't bear it after all, "Okay, stop knocking, this king has to enter the palace again quickly, and this matter must not be known to others."

He had no idea that his housekeeper would deceive him. He still trusted the housekeeper too much. He always thought that there was nothing unusual in the area of ​​Lizhou. He didn't expect that Qiu Pusheng's hand would be stretched out a long time ago, and Prime Minister Dou was also involved. , Dali Siqing and other officials, they even arrested people to serve as Qiu Pusheng's private army training, so much of the overcharged tax fell into Qiu Pusheng's hands, not to mention, I don't know that Lizhou area has starved to death in the past two years. how many people……
