The rich and dandy kids are actually the purest group.
They never think about the consequences when they get into trouble and go to war. A war is a war. Just beat up the people who don't like it and that's it. The consequences? That's something that will happen later. Let's enjoy the moment first.
In fact, you don't need a sufficient reason to fight. An "unpleasant" thing can also become a reason to fight.
Power, power, money, and fists.
These are the Dandy's reliance. When combined together, they are extremely powerful. Most of the people who are beaten can only endure silently. In the aggrieved eyes of the victim, the Dandy's arrogance becomes more and more arrogant.
Li Qinzai at this moment is probably this kind of person.
In this society where everyone is not equal, it is undeniable that Li Qinzai is willful and has the qualifications to cause trouble. The efforts of three generations are the dude's greatest confidence.
Isn't it fair?
Extending the timeline by fifty years and counting from the efforts of my grandfather's generation, we know that this is actually very fair.
Liu Asi led his troops and kicked open the door of the grain store. The shopkeepers inside didn't know what was going on, thinking that the unruly people were causing trouble, so they rushed up one after another.
Naturally, the Li family members would not be polite to the store clerk. Since the Fifth Young Master had given the order, it meant that things must be made big today. The members had followed Li Qinzai for a long time, and they were very familiar with Li Qinzai's style. Once things started,
If you kill the leader, it will not be good.
Liu Asi took the lead. He rushed into the grain store and kicked one of the clerks in the head, sending him flying backwards. The rest of the group began to beat up the remaining clerks indiscriminately.
After a few breaths, all the shop assistants were lying on the ground in a mess, wailing and moaning in pain.
Before Li Qinzai entered the grain store, the old god said loudly on the ground: "After everyone cleaned up, they smashed the store into pieces."
Liu Asi responded loudly inside, and then heard a banging sound coming from the grain store.
Li Qinzai stood outside the door, feeling very happy after hearing this.
This voice really relieves stress. Oh my, the life of a dandy back then was really fun, especially this unique flavor of being unreasonable, arrogant and domineering, which is comparable to the various styles of women swaying their waists and swaying their hips, making people unable to help but fall in love...
"By the way, who is the shopkeeper of this grain store? Find him quickly, I won't allow him to remain unharmed." Li Qinzai's tone became more domineering.
Wang Shifu's expression on the side finally changed, and he was no longer the calm and calm look he always had.
"Li Governor, is this... inappropriate? If the matter gets serious, the consequences will be serious. The grain merchants in Bingzhou City are all in a group..."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If we are united, then we can beat them one by one. We must share the same difficulties. We must not destroy their unity..."
Wang Shifu opened his mouth, but was speechless.
Before Li Qinzai took office, he imagined various measures that the new governor would take to solve the drought and food prices in Bingzhou, but he never expected that the newly appointed governor would choose such a radical approach.
This is going to poke a hole in the sky of Bingzhou.
"Prince Li, please think twice. The price of grain in Bingzhou is already out of reach. If you offend the grain merchants to death, your subordinates may not be able to clean up the mess."
Li Qinzai sneered: "Now we sell thirty cents per liter, which offends the grain merchants to death. At worst, we sell it for one hundred cents per liter, so what? Do you think there is any difference between thirty cents and one hundred cents? The common people can't afford it anyway.
, Am I still going to support these blood-sucking moths?"
Wang Shifu's expression changed several times. After a long while, he sighed and said: "Li Shi, we could have discussed with the grain dealers and asked them to sell grains at a lower price. With today's commotion, there is no room for change in this matter."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "When capital comes to the world, every pore is dripping with dirty blood. Well, you have never heard this sentence, let alone understand it. Simply put, it is impossible to expect grain merchants to reduce prices. I
I had no intention of having a serious discussion with them."
"I'm an official, representing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the imperial court. If this official can't hold down a few profit-seeking businessmen, I might as well find a rope and hang him in front of your house... That's right.
,Wang Biejia, where do you live?"
Wang Shifu pursed his lips tightly, never giving him a chance to hang himself in front of his house.
In the grain store, the sound of smashing was much quieter, probably because the smashing was more thorough and there was nothing left to smash.
Liu Asi hurriedly walked out and clasped his fists and said: "Fifth Young Master, the inside is very broken. I have sent a few other robes to catch the storekeeper of the grain store. There is a granary in the store with a lot of grain. Do you want to burn it down?"
?”
Wang Shifu was shocked when he heard this, and Li Qinzai was also startled. He kicked him almost without thinking, and said angrily: "Are you crazy? Food is so precious, and you actually want to burn it? Who gave you the courage and generosity?"
"
"The villain made a mistake. Well, what he meant was that it would be better to distribute the grain to the people in the city..."
Li Qinzai glanced at him and saw that a revolutionary had hatched from the cradle of feudalism...
Wang Shifu immediately said: "No! There may be a reason for smashing the grain store, but it is different if you distribute it to the people for free. You will be punished."
Li Qinzai nodded: "Wang Biejia is right. The grain should be moved back to the official warehouse and sealed. It should be sealed first."
Wang Shifu looked at him deeply and said nothing.
While the tribesmen were busy sealing up the grain store, several tribesmen escorted a middle-aged man over.
The middle-aged man's arms were cut behind his back, and he had to bow his head and walk forward under the pressure of his subordinates. He did not stop until he was escorted to Li Qinzai.
"Fifth Young Master, this person is the shopkeeper of the grain store, his name is Zhang Cunjin." Bu Qu reported.
Li Qinzai looked Zhang Cunjin up and down and suddenly smiled: "The name is good, but an inch of money cannot buy an inch of time. Shopkeeper Zhang, you are so polite."
Zhang Cunjin tried his best to raise his head, then quickly lowered it and said: "I pay homage to Governor Li."
"You recognize me?"
"Li Ci was appointed governor of Bingzhou. The villain will know about it the day you enter the city."
Li Qinzai's smile gradually faded, he pointed at the grain store and said: "Let's get down to business, the drought in Bingzhou is serious, and famine is about to happen. Your grain store is hoarding grain and selling it at sky-high prices. What is your intention? Do you want to slap me, the governor, in the face?"
Zhang Cunjin said with a bitter look on his face: "How dare you offend the governor? But I am just a businessman. It is the rule of the business for merchants to buy low and sell high. Hoarding grain is just to make a few pure profits. Besides, there are many people hoarding grain in the city. My dear, all the grain dealers have stocked up, and there is no way to buy grain in Bingzhou City now."
Li Qinzai said coldly: "You mean that the law does not punish everyone, and I shouldn't just hold on to you, right?"
"The villain dare not. If Governor Li is dissatisfied with what the villain has done, the villain is willing to be punished."
Li Qinzai felt an inexplicable anger in his heart: "What happens after you are willing to be punished? Should you continue to hoard grain, or will you join forces with grain dealers to monopolize the grain market to embarrass me?"
Zhang Cunjin seemed to be respectful, but his words were sharp: "In the year of great disaster, it is difficult for the people to survive, and the merchants are not much better. Scholars, peasants, merchants and merchants are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty. After all, Li Qishi has to give us merchants a way to survive." ?”
Li Qinzai was silent for a long time, then suddenly squatted down in front of him, looked directly into his eyes, and said slowly: "Zhang Cunjin, in the year of great disaster, hoarding food and living in strange places is a serious crime. The suffering people are the people of the Tang Dynasty. As a Governor, I must save him."
"If you businessmen who are taking advantage of the situation dare to continue to hoard food and raise prices, putting the people in danger, don't blame me for attacking you. This time, I will only give you a warning. Next time, I will let your family wait to collect the body." .”
Zhang Cunjin raised his head in shock, and happened to meet Li Qinzai's eyes. Seeing the murderous intent in Li Qinzai's eyes, Zhang Cunjin couldn't help being shocked, and his face immediately turned pale.
Li Qinzai stood up, waved his hand towards Liu Asi, and said: "I will punish Zhang Cunjin with ten military sticks. Asi, you will carry out the execution yourself, right here on the street."
Liu Asi agreed happily, Zhang Cunjin was shocked and said in panic: "Li Shishi, I know my mistake! I beg you to forgive me this time."
Li Qinzai shook his head: "If you know you made a mistake, you should bear the consequences of it. I don't need to teach you this truth, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Asi's military stick fell hard on Zhang Cunjin's butt. Zhang Cunjin was a pampered businessman. He had never suffered such pain. When the first blow of the military stick fell, Zhang Cunjin let out a shrill scream. , and fainted without saying a word.
However, Liu Asi didn't care so much, and still carried out executions one after another according to Li Qinzai's instructions.
Wang Shifu glanced at Zhang Cunjin who was unconscious, and said with a wry smile: "Li Shi, you really dug a hole in Bingzhou's sky this time..."
Li Qinzai sneered: "I have poked many holes, and this one is not missing. Wang Biejia, Zhang Cunjin dares to speak so harshly in front of me, the governor. It seems that he has other reasons. Is there someone behind him?"
Wang Shifu lowered his head and said, "I'm not sure."
Li Qinzai took a deep look at him and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I'll just check it out myself."
