The bustle in the world is all for profit! The bustling world is all for profit! This is almost an eternal truth.
As long as there are benefits to be gained, no matter how difficult the road is, it will become a smooth road!
And if there are no benefits, no matter how smooth the road is, it will become less populated.
Xiao Han knew that in this treasury bond incident.
The emperor got wealth turnover, the businessmen got attention, and even Yin Can got a chance to show his face, and no one suffered a loss, at least no one suffered a loss so far.
This kind of thing that achieves multiple goals with one stone is indeed a good plan! Anyone who sees it will have to clap their hands and praise it.
But the problem is that in this world, there is no such thing as perfection, and there is nothing that can benefit anyone. Even Lao Tzu said: The way of heaven is to make up for the excess of damage!
As Yin Can analyzed, if the emperor wants greater benefits, then these benefits will not appear out of thin air for no reason, they will inevitably be lost from the original vested interests!
Maybe, at the beginning, I still can't see it.
But when it gradually becomes apparent, or when the wealthy families and high-ranking officials who have suffered huge losses due to the independence of businessmen come to their senses, Xiao Lizi will definitely be overwhelmed by the overwhelming opposition.
"I'm still a little anxious."
On the second floor, Xiao Han sighed softly and remained silent, while Yin Can's eyes rolled around, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just when the small building fell into silence, there was a rush of footsteps on the street outside the building, and there seemed to be some noise from some people.
It's a pity that because the sound was a little far away from here and the wind was strong in winter, Xiao Han didn't hear it clearly.
However, Xiao Han refused to listen, but Yin Can, who was sitting opposite him, had long been trained to have sharp ears and eyes due to long-term martial arts practice. His ears trembled a few times, and he pointed out the window with a smile: "Those people just came to you to find someone."
Vengeance! Would you like your wife to come up and have a look?"
Madam, of course she is talking about purple clothes.
Just when she was going upstairs, Ziyi had already seen that Xiao Han and Yin Can had something to talk about, so she excused herself from feeling unwell and asked the maid here to accompany her to the backyard to rest.
Now, when Yin Can sees something good happening, he naturally wants to ask. After all, this is Xiao Han venting his anger on his wife, right?
"No need, what are you doing with those pickled goods? Get over it quickly!" Xiao Han waved his hand impatiently. Compared to the chaotic thoughts, those clowns outside were not worthy of his attention at all.
Yin Can asked for trouble, so he could only shrug, walked to the window, and made a gesture towards the outside.
Then, the noise on the street suddenly stopped, replaced by muffled "bang bang" sounds and screams like slaughtering pigs.
Early next morning
Chang'an, in the Tai Chi Palace.
An imperial censor held Wu Ban in his arms and was playing in a stern voice: "Your Majesty! Yesterday, a tragic thing happened in Chonghuafang, Chang'an City!
A bad handsome man in the neighborhood joined hands and went on a routine patrol. Because they offended the powerful, they had the bad handsome man and all his men's right legs broken! Among them, the bad handsome man's younger brother even had both of his legs broken!
Under this bright sun and moon, such atrocities could actually happen! The magistrate of Chang'an County did not dare to arrest him because of his lustful power! As an imperial censor and the mouthpiece of the imperial court, I will report this illegal thing.
God listens, please seek justice for the suffering people!"
After an impassioned and eloquent accusation, the censor-general bowed to Li Shimin on the dragon throne and refused to get up for a long time.
The court hall immediately became quiet.
The eyes of countless officials were all focused on this official! And the magistrate of Chang'an County, who was at the end of the queue, had an even darker expression! He was probably frantically greeting all the female ancestors of this official at this moment.
As for the head of the censor, Wei Zheng seems to have been used to being stabbed in the back by his subordinates. His thin face is still as old as ever, but from the corner of his mouth that twitches from time to time, you can see his innermost feelings.
He didn't seem as calm as his face showed.
"Old Wei, who is this? Tsk, tsk, you are so selfless~" Behind Wei Zheng, Liu Hongji, who had nothing to do and came to court, asked in a low voice with a narrow face.
"Hmph!" After hearing Liu Hongji's words, Wei Zheng's expression finally changed, but he did not answer his words and just snorted coldly.
When Liu Hongji saw this, he didn't ask any questions, he just smiled "hehe", but when his eyes swept over the censor in the center of the hall, a hint of bone-chilling coldness flashed in his eyes.
While the other ministers had different expressions, Li Shimin on the dragon chair looked at the official with complicated eyes for a while, and finally said three words calmly: "I understand."
As soon as this statement came out, a blind person could see that the emperor must have known about this matter for a long time and did not want to get involved in this matter, so he used the three words "I know" to send the censor away.
But this seventh-grade imperial censor, whether it was because he was too upright or for some other reason, after hearing such an obvious hint from the emperor, he still held his neck and shouted: "Since your majesty knows, then you should
Go to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to investigate this matter thoroughly! Don’t let the murderer go unpunished, and let Chang’an have a clear sky!”
"oh?"
After hearing this, the emperor's voice finally changed. He looked at the censor intently for a while, and then slowly glanced at the ministers in the palace: "Then do you know who this murderer is?"
"I heard this!" The imperial censor also made up his mind at this time and gritted his teeth and replied: "The murderer is none other than Xiaohou from Sanyuan County!"
"Xiao Han?" The emperor seemed not surprised at all by this answer. He only repeated it softly and then asked: "Where is the Magistrate of Chang'an?"
"I'm here!" The Chang'an County Magistrate, whose face turned black, heard the emperor's inquiry and hurried forward to the palace to pay homage.
Don't doubt that a county magistrate can also participate in court meetings, because Chang'an County and Wannian County are under the rule of Kyoto, so he, as a county magistrate, is a fifth-rank official in the Eight Classics, and naturally has the right to go to court.
"Since the incident happened under your rule, please tell me the whole story!" Li Shimin glanced at the Chang'an County Magistrate and said.
"Here!" Hearing this, the Chang'an County Magistrate hurriedly responded, held his head to the side because of too much sweat, and said: "What Mr. Huang said did happen, but the details are the reasons.
, but it’s not as good as Mr. Huang said!
As far as I know, yesterday, Xiao Hou caused chaos in front of Chang'an Bank and was scattered among the streets. Later, due to various reasons, he clashed with a group of ruffians, which led to Xiao Hou's escort.
I rushed there and started fighting with those ruffians, and finally I hurt someone."
