Chapter 1003: He Lan Minzhi takes chestnuts from the fire
Everyone says that pregnant female wolves are the most dangerous.
So, how terrifying would a giant dragon with one blind eye be?
In the past, the dragon was the supreme being that maintained order.
Now that one of the dragon's eyes is blind, he must be so angry.
Zhou Xing used an average of two days to arrest a child of a noble family and enter the dungeon in Wannian County. The efficiency was very amazing. I heard from Yan Jiu that this guy was working on the case almost non-stop. Only one person ever went in and no one survived.
come out.
There is a crematorium behind the Wannian County dungeon. The place was originally prepared for the great epidemic in Chang'an City. Ever since Zhou Xing came in, there has been thick smoke billowing all day long.
In a short period of time, the Wannian County Dungeon became a hell-like existence for the nobles, aristocratic families, and wealthy families in Chang'an.
Zeng Fu brought shopkeeper Zhao to report that at present, there are basically no transaction notes that can be traded in Chang'an market.
In other words, the remaining trading notes are now in the hands of others, with no intention of selling them, and are all waiting for the final delivery time in April this year.
Zeng Fu said: "Your Excellency, we have not received the 60% of the bills we expected. At present, we only have about 47%. This amount is not enough for us to become the absolute master of the Liushui brand."
Yun Chu silently took out a pile of bills from the drawer and said, "With these, it should be over 50%. If possible, you can secretly purchase some bills at a premium."
Shopkeeper Zhao took out an exquisite little abacus and started calculating in Yunchu's mansion.
Zeng Fu said: "Our previous purchase of notes at a low price has now caused a backlash. Those who sold the notes at a low price are now thinking of buying the notes back at the selling price.
Of course we would not agree, but these people did not dare to come to the county to make trouble, but they dared to make trouble in the trading hall of Qujiang City. They also said that we are a group of evil-hearted people and that we deliberately destroyed the Liushui brand.
, the purpose is to steal their money.
Yesterday, there was a guy who became more and more aggrieved as he talked and climbed to the top of the trading floor, jumped off and fell to his death."
Yun Chu thought for a while, then took out a stack of documents from the drawer and handed it to Shen Rudao: "Post it on the notice board to let the people know who is the sinner who destroyed the Liushui sign."
Shen Ru took the document and quickly looked through it and said, "Point the finger at Yong Wangxian and the big businessmen who siphoned off the money from the capital pool?"
Yun Chu nodded and said: "Di Renjie has clearly investigated the cause and effect of the matter. If those people still think that we are wrong, then send the bad guys out and drive them away with whips."
Shen Rudao: "The county magistrate used to be too lenient to the merchants, so much so that they forgot that they were just a bunch of lowly people who earned dividends with the county magistrate for several years. Now they dare to make extra demands. They should be dealt with."
It’s time.”
Yun Chu did not comment on Shen Ru's request. He positioned Chang'an City as a city of commerce. In such a city, merchants were the real masters.
If the courage that was cultivated through hard work by lowly businessmen is extinguished all at once, it will be very difficult to use businessmen again in the future. After all, nothing can be accomplished by a group of cowards.
Fortunately, after Shen Ru ordered all the documents to be posted on the notice board, Quan Changan finally knew the cause and effect of the collapse of the Liushui sign.
There is no doubt that the culprit is Yong Wangxian of the Tang Dynasty!
Ever since he was severely whipped by Prince Li Hong, Li Xian felt that everyone wanted to harm him. At this time, he naturally thought of He Lan Minzhi, who had treated him extremely well during this period.
After He Lan Minzhi arrived in Chang'an and listened to Li Xian's words, even though he was as heartless as he was, he couldn't help but sigh. He just felt that Li Xian was really unlucky.
"When a certain family entered the palace, they found a lot of noisy merchants outside. Why didn't King Yong kill some of them?"
Yong Wangxian said painfully: "The evil thief Yun Chu posted a notice at the gate of the government, blaming the collapse of the Liushui sign on my head. If I kill some more merchants at this time, it will be difficult for my father."
Accounted for."
Helan Minzhi sighed secretly in his heart when he heard the words. Yong Wangxian has reached this point, and he still wants to keep his reputation as a wise king. He wants to teach these merchants a lesson, but he doesn't want to take action and listen to the meaning behind his words.
It seemed that he wanted him, the Duke of Zhou, to step in and solve the problem for him.
After weighing things up, Helan Minzhi felt that this matter could be done. Anyway, those who were beaten and driven out were just a group of businessmen, so it was not a big deal.
After thinking about the matter, he led his guards to the door of Prince Yong's Mansion. Without saying a word, he pointed at the group of merchants who gathered quietly at the door. The guards under his command immediately killed them like wolves and tigers.
passed.
For a moment, the merchants were turned upside down after being beaten by the guards. After the merchants fled away with their heads in their hands, Helan Minzhi was horrified to find that the Tibetan guards he sent to beat the merchants were all lying quietly on the ground, each one of them vomiting blood.
You can't live without it.
Helan Minzhi came to the fallen guard leader and said, "Who killed you?"
The guard leader's hand pointed in a random direction and then suddenly passed away.
Seeing this scene, He Lan Minzhi's mind once again flashed back to the scene before Xue Changfeng's death, so he drew out his horizontal knife and chopped off the head of the guard leader with one blow. He also treated the other dead and injured guards in accordance with the law.
, cut off the head, many times, Helan Minzhi always felt that the world in front of him was strange and powerful, and the dead seemed to be able to come back to life.
Yong Wangxian stood at the door of the mansion and watched He Lanmin chop off the heads with his own eyes. Although this method of killing one's own people to scare others is somewhat debatable, those annoying merchants were eventually scared away.
It can be considered that Helan Minzhi achieved his goal.
He Lan Minzhi really wanted to tell Yong Wangxian that this was a premeditated assassination, but seeing Yong Wangxian's relieved look, even if he told him, he would be the one to resolve the matter in the end, so he didn't bother to continue explaining the matter.
.
"Prince Li Hong is not in Luoyang, nor at Fahua Temple."
After Helan Minzhi returned to Prince Yong's Mansion, he repelled the eunuchs and maids who were waiting on him and whispered to Prince Yong.
Unexpectedly, Yong Wangxian didn't seem to be interested in this matter, but urged him hurriedly: "I asked you to find out in Luoyang, how did my father and mother punish me, but you paid attention to Li Hong's ruthless thing."
He Lanmin said: "The reason why you haven't come down for so long can only mean one thing. Your father and mother have not yet reached an agreement on how to punish you.
This is a good thing for you. Maybe this matter will be dragged on and on without any further conclusion. After all, Prince Li Hong has already severely punished you."
Yong Wangxian sat dumbly on the brocade, and suddenly his eyes burst into tears and said: "My father has high expectations for me, but I am always unsatisfactory. How can I live up to the deep love my father treats me with?"
He Lanmin said: "Your Highness is extremely intelligent. Not only has he read many poems and books, but he has also shown his talents prematurely. I wonder if Your Highness has ever thought about why everything went smoothly when you were in Luoyang. Why did you come to Chang'an not long ago?"
, causing such a huge disaster.
To be honest, His Highness only drew a mere 110,000 guan from the fund pool, so why did he let a multi-million guan fund collapse?"
Yong Wangxian sat blankly for a moment and said hesitantly: "You mean someone is trying to trick me?"
He Lanmin said: "Someone has carefully reviewed the document from the Wannian County Government. Generally speaking, this document is fairly fair and describes the entire incident in detail without any concealment.
Until now, His Highness has not doubted that Liu Nayan and the others knew too much, and that the Wu brothers and others entrusting Wannian County to His Highness were too childish, right?
Your Highness, I took away 110,000 guan. Two days later, all the money in the capital pool was swindled. Your Highness, that is millions of guan. Even if it needs to be transported, it will not be done in one day and one night.
Something that can be done, right?
Perhaps, they are just waiting for His Highness to withdraw the money. If this is not a huge conspiracy, what is?"
Yong Wangxian put his trembling hand to his mouth and bit it. After a long time, he looked at He Lanmin and said, "Are you talking about my mother?"
He Lan Minzhi frowned and looked at Yong Wangxian. He couldn't figure out why this fool would focus on the queen. To be honest, the queen did not like Li Xian, but after all, Li Xian was born to the queen. If the queen wanted to
If Li Xian died, Li Xian would not be alive now.
Thinking of this, He Lan Minzhi didn't bother to talk to Li Xian any more and said softly: "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Yong Wangxian said in shock: "The prince wants to kill me?"
Helan Minzhi nodded heavily.
Yong Wangxian waved his hands decisively and said: "If it weren't for him, the prince would have killed me, and I would have died long ago."
Helan Minzhi stared at Yong Wangxian who suddenly became smarter in front of him without blinking. He really couldn't figure out why Yong Wangxian was so sober in the prince.
So much so that he couldn't utter a single word of what he wanted to say next.
Yong Wangxian yawned and said: "You will dispatch the guards of Prince Yong's Mansion. You must ensure that assassins and thieves are not allowed to enter Prince Yong's Mansion. You don't know that assassinations have become common in Chang'an City recently. You must not slack off."
Seeing Yong Wangxian go to the palace surrounded by palace people, He Lanmin sat alone in the empty hall and said to himself: "You don't want to kill Li Hong, but I really want to kill Li Hong. As long as I can
I must do whatever makes the emperor and empress feel pain.
Now, Li Hongzang has a private meeting with Hu Nu in the Yun family's mansion, which is the best opportunity to take his life. Li Xian, how can you let go of such a good thing?"
Ah ah ah, if the brothers and sisters still have votes, give them to the 2nd child, thank you——
