    "The distant Chu Kingdom, after such a long time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu finally returned to the Chu Kingdom again.

    Recalling his days in Chang'an City, King Liu Wu of Chu felt that he couldn't bear to look back.

    His life was difficult, and the lives of the three of them, the King of Jiaoxi, the King of Jiaodong, and the King of Zichuan, were even more difficult.

    Normally, they were also feudal lords, but now, the officials of Tingwei Mansion started to hang up notices blatantly on the street.

    An open collection of illegal things done by the three kings,

    This matter caused a lot of uproar in the whole court. These three princes were not good birds to begin with. They were all arrogant and extravagant and did whatever they wanted in their own territory.

    Now, since people from the Tingwei Mansion are openly soliciting clues, how can the people in the city hide it for them?

    It is said that in just three days, the officials of the Tingwei Mansion had already listed more than a dozen crimes, large and small, against the three princes and kings!

    ¡°These former emperors and nobles are now humiliated at the hands of slaves. How can they bear this gap?

    When he heard the news, King Liu Wu of Chu felt even more aggrieved.

    As the saying goes, the more you think about it, the more you take a step back. The more you think about it, the more angry you become. Until now, King Liu Wu of Chu has regarded the entire Chu Kingdom as his private property. Now that he has been taken away from Donghai County for nothing, how can he bear this tone?  ?

    This is a big piece of fat!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? could be so easily taken away from his mouth, who else could bear such a breath?

    "Your Majesty, Shopkeeper Sun from Guangling Bank has been here many times. He said he had something important to report"

    Since returning from Chang'an City, Chu King Liu Wu has been shutting himself in the palace and has not taken care of the affairs of the country for many days.

    "Let him come in! It's just a small profit. How come he bothers me again and again?"

    If it weren¡¯t for this guy coming every day for several days, Liu Wu really didn¡¯t want to see him.

    "What happened, do you have to ask to see me?"

    After seeing Sun Zhenguo walk in, Chu King Liu Wudao asked with a pulled face and some displeasure.

    "Your Majesty, this is the account book of the bank during this period. Please have your Majesty take a look at it!"

    Although King Chu Liu Wu looked impatient, Sun Zhenguo still hurriedly brought up the account book in his hand seriously.

    "If there's anything interesting about the ledger, just tell me."

    Looking at the thick set of account books in front of him, Liu Wu's face became even more ugly.

    "If it weren't for the fact that this guy has been handling all trade matters for him for more than ten years, he would have the heart to drag this guy out and give him a good beating now.

    "Your Majesty, you should take a look! In the past month or so, Guangling Bank has had a large number of depositors every day, traveling thousands of miles from all over the country to cash in. We have had only expenses and no revenue for a month!"

    "What did you say?"

    Liu Wu stood up suddenly and quickly looked through the account book in his hand.

    Unlike the situation in Daiguo of Wu State, King Liu Wu of Chu had a paranoid hobby for money, so his money and the national treasury have been separated over the years.

    Of course, a large amount of silver deposits from the national treasury flow into his private treasury every year.

    And this Sun Zhenguo is the person who is responsible for helping him handle all trade matters. It can be said that he is the royal merchant of the King of Chu.

    Normally, Sun Zhenguo doesn¡¯t even need to explain anything to the Prime Minister.

    The power is indeed great and terrifying, especially in the entire Chu State, some people even call him the Hidden Prime Minister.

    The business in his hands is equivalent to the private property of Chu King Liu Wu. No matter what business it is, as long as he wants to do it, others will have to step aside.

    Everyone can only eat the scraps left by him. Only when he is full will it be someone else's turn!

    He was so powerful in Chu State that local officials did not even have the right to govern his chamber of commerce.

    As for things like paying taxes, don¡¯t even think about it!

    How could the King of Chu¡¯s own chamber of commerce pay taxes to the Chu government?

    In the past month or so, Sun Zhenguo tried every means to get close to the King of Chu.

    But no matter what, the King of Chu was suffering in Zongzheng Temple at that time. Let alone a mere businessman like him, even the Prime Minister of Chu State would have a hard time meeting the King of Chu.?Things.

    The entire bank was besieged by countless people and frantically ran on it. Although he repeatedly lowered the daily limit, this not only failed to have the desired effect, but intensified people's panic.

    He has been on pins and needles every day for more than a month.

    Over the past few years, he has earned more than several million dollars in profits for the King of Chu every year.

    But in just this short month, the money flowing out of his hands has reached an astonishing eight million yuan.

    This was the result of his efforts to control it again and again. He finally waited until the King of Chu returned to the country. He immediately handed over the post, hoping to see the King of Chu and report the matter to the King of Chu face to face.

    But after Naihe came back, King Chu Liu Wu was in such a bad mood that he just ignored him for several days.

    "Why does this happen? Didn't you say some time ago that this was a profitable business? Why is there only money going out but no money coming in?"

    Looking at the long numbers on the account book, Chu King Liu Wu's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes stared at Sun Zhenguo with murderous intent.

    "Your Majesty, this matter probably started because of His Highness the King of Wu. Some time ago, I found out that the value of small coins in the Kingdom of Wu was depreciating crazily, and it had already fallen below the price of copper. Before His Highness the King of Wu could react, another fire broke out in Guangling, and a fire broke out.  I bought millions of stones of food from Taipingcang, and I judged that this, this probably belongs to His Highness King Wu"

    When Sun Zhenguo said this, he dared not say the last few words no matter what.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When used on King Wu at this time, he certainly knew exactly what it meant.

    ¡°If Chu King Liu Wu doesn¡¯t believe what he said, I¡¯m afraid it will be difficult for him to leave the palace

    "You mean, that old man is deliberately trying to trick me?"

    Liu Wu suddenly dropped the account book in his hand.

    The murderous aura all over his body made Sun Zhenguo even more frightened.

    "Your Majesty, this situation is not only happening in Pengcheng, but also in the territories of several other kings. This kind of thing is also common"

    Sun Zhenguo really smiled bitterly. How should he respond to such words?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
