No matter how ugly Panman's performance was, he was still arrested.
In Baimafang, the palace guard guards the Yamen.
In the backyard of the school grounds, two large cases were placed side by side. Lu Qian was sitting behind the large case, holding a tea cup and smiling as he thanked General He Taiping, the seven-star general who guarded Baimafang.
"General He, if you work hard today, we two brothers will get closer in the future."
He Taiping, who was in his early fifties, was holding a tea cup with a smile on his face and responded to Lu Qian enthusiastically.
Nowadays, Lu Qian is already a complete legend within the Palace Guards. After joining the Palace Guards for only a month, he was awarded the red robe of a general by the emperor himself, but he actually became a public official?
Such grace is truly extraordinary.
Lu Qian took the initiative to use the Baimafang Guarding Yamen to do things. This was a favor sent to him on his own initiative. With this face, He Taiping must use the fastest efficiency and the greatest enthusiasm to carry it.
Taking a sip of fragrant tea, He Taiping smiled and said: "If Mr. Tianyang needs anything, just speak... We are all working for His Majesty. We are true brothers, so don't be polite."
Lu Qian nodded with a smile and glanced at the 649 young ladies from 227 families who were detained in the school grounds.
The school grounds were surrounded by the school captains, warriors and supervisors who guarded the palace, as well as Lu Qian's personal guards riding blood-hoofed Wuzui, guarding the four directions with expressionless faces. A murderous intent unique to the military was permeated, and some of them were brave.
The little young lady was trembling with fear and her face was pale.
A delicate young man who was still young and about the same age as Lu Qian was crying in a low voice: "I didn't hit anyone!"
Lu Qian has opened seventy-two acupuncture points, and what follows is that his five senses are more than ten times more sensitive than ordinary people. Hearing the cry of the delicate young master, Lu Qian looked over and said calmly: "Young Master, these words
That's not right. There were so many people at that time and it was so chaotic. You said you didn't hit anyone. Where are the witnesses?"
Tapping the big case with his fingers, Lu Qian shook his head: "If there are witnesses and the evidence is conclusive, I can let you go."
"But you should all live through Dayin Law. According to Dayin Law, in this case, your relatives, friends, guards, servants, etc. cannot be used as witnesses. Do you have anyone who is completely unrelated to you and has no power with you?
Can a relevant passerby serve as a witness?"
All the young ladies were speechless.
In the past, in Green Willow Building, there were people who didn't get the invitation, how could they be qualified to enter the building?
Those who can enter the Green Willow Building are all people from a large circle involved in their Baimafang. Many people are related to each other by marriage. According to Dayin Law, they cannot serve as witnesses to each other.
Prove innocence.
Lu Qian sighed, put down the tea cup, and held up a roll of white silk framed on a sandalwood scroll in front of him with both hands.
"Here is the emperor's handwriting. The emperor said that I, Dayin, will be kind to the princes and princes."
"Just a few days after this handwritten letter was issued, you publicly beat and injured Duke Chiyang's eldest son."
"Hey, this kind of behavior, in a big way, you are disrespecting the emperor's order, which is almost equivalent to treason!"
"To put it into perspective, Duke Chiyang of Chishendong in Nanman Prefecture is a fierce man with a territory of 30,000 miles and billions of people. With a single order, he can mobilize hundreds of millions of barbarians to fight for him."
"You have injured his son. If he insists on venting his anger on Panman Crown Prince... I would like to ask you, which of your families can withstand the anger of a 'father'?"
Lu Qian’s words were not empty words.
If the person who was beaten was the prince of the princes of Eastern China, Eastern China is the birthplace of culture and education. It is elegant and civilized, and abides by etiquette. You can still expect the princes of Eastern China to be reasonable.
But the princes of Nanman State?
It was a hellish place where the law of the jungle was completely followed, where the weak and the strong preyed on each other.
If you provoke the princes of Nanman Prefecture, they will send out their close friends to kill your family all the way to Haojing without any care!
For a dominant prince like Chiyang Gong, what does it mean to send thousands of dead soldiers, disguised as caravans, and sneak into Haojing to kill people? Compared to the barbarians under his command, it means nothing to consume such a small number of manpower.
What?
Many young men and young ladies thought of the ferocity and viciousness of the barbarians in the Southern Barbarian State in the popular legend, and some of them were so frightened that they cried out.
After all, they were from wealthy merchant families, not the sons of officials, so they could not withstand Lu Qian's words and intimidation.
Lu Qian and He Taiping looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Not long after, there was a surge of people outside, and some elders from the young master's family who were involved in the conflict, who were closer to the guard yamen, hurried over.
Seeing the scene in the backyard, several middle-aged men who arrived first gasped and winked at each other. One of them was wearing a purple crane-patterned robe with a jade belt tied around his waist and a chilong-patterned jade pendant hanging on it.
The wealthy man straightened his expression and strode to the front of Lu Qian and He Taiping with square steps.
When the wealthy man came over, He Taiping had already introduced his identity to Lu Qian.
Baimafang, Zhou family.
A large grain merchant, 30% of the people's rice in Baimafang and the surrounding 127 cities and towns comes from his rice shop.
The big cloth merchant also sells daily cloths from hundreds of markets around Baimafang, 40% of which come from his own cloth shop.
Behind the Zhou family, there was a minister from the Ministry of Revenue, and one of Zhou's daughters married that minister as his wife. This backstage was quite solid in Haojing City.
The wealthy man is Zhou Ping, the head of the Zhou family. He is willing to spend money and now carries the title of fourth-grade candidate magistrate of a high house outside Haojing City.
As for the purple robe with crane pattern, jade belt, jade pendant with dragon pattern and other clothes on her body, they were all bought from the emperor at a great price as a privilege of imperial grace.
Emperor Yinyuan dared to sell his title as long as he was given enough money.
The set of clothes Zhou Ping wears corresponds to the official position of a serious first-class official in the court. Because he only purchased the right to wear the clothes and not the corresponding official position and title, the annual usage fee for such a set of clothes is only a mere three million yuan.
, less than three thousand guan. For a wealthy family like the Zhou family, this price can be called 'affordable'.
Not only the Zhou family, but also the representatives of the wealthy merchant families who entered the backyard school grounds were all wearing purple robes, jade belts, and jade pendants with dragon patterns. For those who didn't know, they thought they were a group of important court officials.
Zhou Ping walked up to Lu Qian with a smile on his face, bowed his head deeply and said, "Mr. Tianyang. I'm going to pay homage to Duke Tianyang."
Zhou Ping's attitude toward Lu Qian was cautious and conservative.
But for He Taiping, Zhou Ping was obviously much more relaxed. He just smiled and bowed his hand to He Taiping.
He Taiping also smiled and nodded to Zhou Ping, and Lu Qian understood in his heart that He Taiping had often benefited from Zhou Ping in the past. Lu Qian had generally understood the virtues of the palace guards.
For He Taiping's sake, Lu Qian's attitude became much gentler.
He unfolded Yinyuan's handwriting on the major case, letting Zhou Ping read the contents clearly, and then knocked on the major case: "Master Zhou, shall we resolve this matter peacefully?"
He Taiping smiled and winked at Zhou Ping.
Zhou Ping's heart suddenly relaxed and he came to guard the Yamen. He had already heard all the causes and consequences from his son's guards and found out the specific details.
My son, as well as the sons and daughters of so many old friends, were set up in a huge trap, and everyone was trapped in it.
On the way here, he was still worried about how much blood he would have to shed this time to lose money and avoid disaster.
But seeing the attitudes of Lu Qian and He Taiping, he knew something in his heart: "Mr. Tianyang, I listen to you. If you have any rules, just tell me!"
Lu Chen looked at Zhou Ping and showed a shy smile: "A few days ago, someone went to Mr. Zhou, a wealthy businessman, to buy the villa in the mountains south of Jingang River."
Zhou Ping's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Qian in astonishment. He remembered this incident.
My ancestors had a villa in the mountains over there. The place was not big, just a yard of a few acres. Occasionally in the summer, he or his sons would take their concubines there to experience the wild scenery of the mountains and forests.
The yard has a few acres of land, and the surrounding mountains and forests are only a few hundred acres. Compared with the Zhou family's property, this is a small industry worth mentioning.
Just a few days ago, there was a Baimafang building. A middle-class businessman who also worked in the rice shop came to buy the villa at the market price.
But Zhou is not short of money.
Besides, it’s also a property inherited from one’s ancestors. It seems a bit unfilial to sell it like this?
Therefore, Zhou Ping casually dismissed the businessman who came to his door.
Unexpectedly, the beginning and end of this matter were waiting for him here.
"That's what happened." Zhou Ping said with a smile: "If I had known that Duke Tianyang wanted that yard, I would have sent it to your house long ago without you having to tell me."
Lu Qian smiled a little awkwardly: "Haha, Lord Zhou is laughing at me. I want to build a temple there."
Zhou Ping kept smiling and nodding: "Yes, it should be. With Tianyang Gong's current status, he does need a family temple to worship his ancestors and chant sutras day and night to pray for his clan members. The green mountains are indeed beautiful and quiet and pleasant.
.”
Lu Qian stretched out his right hand: "Well, after all, it was Prince Panman who was beaten. Your yard has less than ten acres of land, and it is located in a secluded place in the mountains and forests. Let's..."
"The little dog is in the wrong. Just give me 20 guan based on the cost of the yard built by our ancestors back then." Zhou Ping smiled very kindly: "If you'd like, Duke Tianyang will send someone to the Fangling Yamen, and we'll give you the land deed."
Once the property deed is settled, that’s it.”
Zhou Ping held Lu Qian's hand, the two held hands tightly and shook them gently.
The delivery of a land title deed is completed.
Zhou Ping went back to the representatives of various families who came with him and told them what Lu Qian meant.
The representatives of each family also remembered that a few days ago, some of their own colleagues went to their mansion to buy a property in the mountains and forests south of the King Kong River, but they were dismissed by their own family in a few words.
Once you know the cause and effect of the matter, it will be easier to solve.
It's just a worthless business in the mountains and forests. There is no need to offend the most popular Duke Tianyang in the court for this matter!
As a result, all the villas were sold to Lu Qian one by one.
Lu Qian watched people from wealthy merchants coming in and out, and took his young master back. He suddenly sighed: "Hey, the reputation of our eunuchs is going to get worse... I guess.
It doesn’t count, it’s about taking advantage of others by taking advantage of others, right?”
He Taiping glanced at Lu Yi in surprise and laughed: "Why did Lord Tianyang say this? Where is this talent?"
Lu Qian was stunned, and was about to ask a question. A man wearing a green robe, who was born in the Tianen Palace, was now divided into the Tianyang Gong lineage of Lu Qian, and was transferred to the Yushunfang Survey Division Yamen by Lu Qianzheng.
