Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 259: I am the winner who sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, the West Factory appears
Fan Xian was speechless for a moment.

Looking at Liu Hong's figure that seemed to be radiating light, he couldn't help but lower his head.

Fan Xian didn't understand why Liu Hong, who used to talk nonsense like a gangster, now has such foresight. Is it just because of his disguise as a time traveler?
But that was not the case. Every time they met these days, Liu Hong struck directly into Fan Xian's heart.

Fan Xian examined himself for a while, gritted his teeth, and firmly believed that he was not wrong.

In this place similar to a feudal dynasty, is there anything wrong with following the imperial power? It can benefit the people and protect the whole family.

Liu Hong glanced at Fan Xian and stopped talking.

This guy is too optimistic.

Even if Fan Xian could seize power and benefit the people, what would that do?

Relying on imperial power, even Fan Xian could become a powerful official, above the emperor.

After Fan Xian dies, we will see if his regime will cease to exist. By then, the aristocratic families, the emperor, and corrupt officials will only become more aggressive in their exploitation.

Fan Xian had no idea what had happened to Zhang Juzheng!

From the beginning to the end, everything Liu Hong did seemed radical or regressive.

In fact, there are three purposes: to free up the ladder for the lower class to enter the upper class, so that the people can at least live like human beings, and to quietly support the development of the capitalist economy.

Liu Hong stepped into the trial meeting of 800 people and put on a smile.

Whether they were poor or noble, they all smiled and nodded to show their goodwill.

Chang Kun stood in the lobby with his head held high and his chest puffed out, as if he had really been wronged.

He bribed a large number of lower-class people, manual workers, and lower-level soldiers, spending almost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Liu Hong was not trying to hold a trial, but just wanted to clear Chang Kun's name and establish the image of a selfless naval admiral among the people of Jiaozhou City.

Seeing Chang Kun's expression at this moment, Fan Xian laughed coldly.

With the Supervisory Council in his hands, he naturally knew all of Chang Kun's little moves.

Doesn’t this guy want to clear his name?
Today, Fan Xian is going to trample Chang Kun from the clouds into the mud.

Liu Hong sat quietly in the chief seat, silently watching the little thoughts of Chang Kun and Fan Xian.

Just as he said, whether Chang Kun can stay in the position of admiral of the navy.

It doesn't matter to Liu Hong.

As long as Chang Kun is not assassinated secretly, it will be enough to slap Emperor Qing in the face and enlighten the people.

Fan Xian was so busy trying to bring Chang Kun down that he ended up falling to the lower level, from the position of chess player to the position of chess piece.

Liu Hong just watched the two people fighting quietly. No matter who won or lost, both sides would become blood-thirsty and start factional strife.

He, the Grand Commander of Anton, will become the final winner.

Isn't this approach better than Emperor Qing's frequent assassinations?
Not only did he warn those who had two minds, but he also stabilized the loyalty of his subordinates, and by the way, he could slowly see how much influence Fan Xian had in the three routes of Anton.

Kill three birds with one stone!
"This trial will be fair, open and transparent, and will be announced to the people of Jiaozhou City. I hope you will be peaceful and not use violence."

Liu Hong stood up and spoke politely.

The officials, gentry, and soldiers all stood up and spoke politely.

"How dare I? I will obey the order of the Grand Commander!"

"Eunuch Dai, the chief of the Western Depot, has arrived!"

As the feminine voice sounded, it was Eunuch Dai who was supposed to be working in the Vegetable Inspection Department.

At this time, his face was full of apologetic smiles and he was extremely respectful.

"Grand Commander, I am the Chief of the Criminal Division of the Western Factory, responsible for the affairs of Dongshan Road. I hope you will not mind disturbing the trial meeting this time?"

Eunuch Dai was supposed to be the scapegoat for Fan Xian and the Second Prince because of the Old Golden Head incident.

Now he is full of energy and has become the chief of the Western Factory, holding great power.

Liu Hong glanced at the guy and slightly restrained the smile on his face.

"Feel free, but since you don't have an invitation, you can only stand here."

The foreigners who had wantonly occupied mines, fields and shops on Dongshan Road could not tolerate such neglect.

His face turned cold and he was about to have an outburst.

Eunuch Dai stretched out his hand and stopped the men, with a smile on his face.

Liu Hong sat back in the chief seat and his attitude returned to its lazy state.

"Remember not to use violence. This is not a place for you Western Factory thugs to show off your power."

After these words were spoken, the 800 members of the trial assembly from all walks of life looked at the Western Factory guards with a gloating look.

This is the result of coming uninvited. How could the Grand Commander be kind to a bunch of eunuchs like you?

Fan Xian gradually frowned. He originally thought that the Western Factory would severely stop the trial of 800 people, which was an act of instigating chaos.

After all, the life of a first-rank official can be decided at will by the people below.

I'm afraid this will become a powerful weapon in party struggles in the future.

Even Emperor Qing and other officials in the court would stop this absurd behavior at all costs.

Now that the pigeon has delivered the letter, what is Emperor Qing doing?
Let the Western Factory watch?

Does Emperor Qing want to use the Conference of Eight Hundred People to deprive Liu Hong of his position as the Grand Commander of Andong in the future?

Fan Xian is pessimistic about this.

Emperor Qing's Western Factory was extremely corrupt in the local area. They would seize farmland at the slightest disagreement, and even the aristocratic families didn't care.

In Dongshan Road, Emperor Qing's reputation is much worse than Liu Hong's.

It is still uncertain who will overthrow whom by then!

Liu Hong looked at the Western Factory guards and understood everything.

It seems that the future trial of eight hundred people can only deal with some minor matters such as civil criminal law and miscellaneous taxes.

It is normal for the Congress to gradually evolve into a congress with only a nominal capacity and only capable of making suggestions.

Faced with the tide of history, Liu Hong chose to take a step back.

If he forced himself to hold on, Emperor Qing and the officials in the court might not be able to resist taking action in advance, and his subordinates would not understand why Liu Hong did this!

The trial meeting officially began.

Chang Kun couldn't wait to start redressing his grievances.

He was almost in tears. He couldn't bear to exploit the people, but he couldn't withhold military pay, so he had no choice but to choose smuggling for profit.

These words brought tears to my eyes.

The members of the trial assembly could not help but whisper to each other, even though they did not understand the significance of their decision.

But Chang Kun's heartfelt words did add points.

Fan Xian smiled coldly and calmly presented the case file of Chang Kun's embezzlement of military funds and extravagant spending over the years.

Chang Kun bribed the members of the trial assembly. As a time traveler, doesn't he know how to bribe people?

Apart from Liu Hong, only Fan Xian knew clearly about the drawbacks of the trial meeting.

Suddenly, the tide turned, and many people began to denounce Chang Kun.

Chang Kun's face turned pale. He had forgotten that Fan Xian, who had the Supervisory Council in his hands, knew almost all of his dirty deeds.

Liu Hong said nothing and watched all this quietly.

It's just an experiment. Now it seems that we can only give advice, not decision-making power.

Many members who had received money from Chang Kun remained silent in the face of this massive condemnation.

Fan Xian smiled proudly and bowed to Liu Hong.

"Please ask the Grand Admiral to sentence Admiral Chang Kun to death!"

"Please ask the Grand Admiral to sentence Admiral Chang Kun to death."

The crowd was so enraged that they almost roared out.

Chang Kun looked at Liu Hong with a pleading look.

Liu Hong saved his life once, so he should save him a second time, right?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Hong.

Liu Hong was silent for a while, then spoke softly.

"Can!"

With just one word, the admiral of the navy was sentenced to death, and it was decided by the entire people of Jiaozhou City.

Several bodyguards dragged Chang Kun, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, towards the vegetable market.

The eight hundred members of the trial assembly looked at each other in disbelief.

Can they also decide the death penalty for high-ranking officials?
Invisibly, a certain thought quietly arises.

Eunuch Dai was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stood up with a red face and started to shout angrily.

"No! Are a bunch of unruly people qualified to decide the life and death of a first-rank official?"
