When people change, no matter what the reason is, no matter how many reasons there are, the most important thing is benefit.
No matter how good or special the relationship is, in the end it all comes down to interests.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi), Nalan Xingde, and Li Guangdi, even if they are of the same mind, even if they advance together and know each other's troubles, and even if they sing harmoniously to each other, in the face of huge interests, Nalan Xingde and Li Guangdi resolutely reject each other.
However, choosing to side with the emperor is inevitable and understandable.
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." I'm afraid it's more appropriate to describe the relationship between the emperor and his ministers.
Seeing her husband's flute, Miaoyu consoled her: "Those who have left should go; those who have come, should come... You don't have to worry too much."
Baoyu (burning small stone) is sad.
Early the next morning, more than 500 people came to the prefect's Yamen, and the leader among them was the more than 200 "rich businessmen" who had purchased the land.
Who they are, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) already knows at a glance.
I received a letter from my father last night. These "rich businessmen" are all masters arranged by the little emperor, and their purpose is unknown.
No one can guess the little emperor's thoughts, probably not even the Empress Dowager.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) can't either. He just speculates, "Maybe the Lion King feels that his status and dignity have been offended, but he can't say it openly, so now he is grinding his teeth secretly..."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) guessed like this, and he guessed almost exactly.
Let more than twenty people in.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was sitting in the lobby with a smile on his face, which made those "rich businessmen" lose their minds.
The leading "rich businessman" is called Lei Heng. Lei Heng has a voluptuous face, triangular eyes, short beard, and bulging flesh under his leather robe. At first glance, he is a powerful practitioner.
Lei Heng had long known the background of the prefect in front of him and knew that he was not easy to mess with, so he felt a little guilty. But this was a task assigned by the emperor, so he became more courageous.
"Master Prefect, it's not easy for us to make money. We came all the way from the Pass to respond to your call and just want to follow your lead in building the Northeast. Is this wrong?"
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) flipped the book in his hand, looked at Lei Heng and said: "Lei Heng, right? He is from Bazhong, a big businessman, and has been operating in the Northeast for more than ten years... The information is quite complete... You
Can you farm?"
"Sir, I bought a total of three thousand hectares of land. If I had to farm it, wouldn't I be exhausted? When buying land, of course I have to hire people to farm it..."
Lei Heng was somewhat complacent, and all the "rich businessmen" also followed suit.
"Of course I can give you the land. I will ask the supervisor to measure the land for you in a moment... But, Lei Heng, you have to read it clearly. The notice is clearly written. The purchased land must be cultivated by yourself. If you cultivate it,
If you don't come out, you will be sentenced to three years of exile... You all need to think clearly!!!"
By the end of the speech, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) had raised his voice an octave, and became more and more severe as he spoke.
"Is this on the notice?" Lei Heng's voice also raised an octave.
"Go and bring the notice in!" Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) ordered the guards on the side.
After a short while, the huge advertising notice was carried in by more than a dozen personal guards.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) didn't waste any words. He pointed to the bottom two lines of small regular script and said with a smile: "Look, isn't it here? It's written so clearly that the purchased land must be cultivated by oneself and cannot be cultivated by oneself."
Any form of desolation, otherwise three years of exile. The words are a little smaller, but the writing is very clear... Here is another article, if you buy or sell illegally, you will be punished with thirty rods; if you buy and sell by force, the land will be confiscated, and you will be punished by one hundred rods..."
Your mother's words are so small. Who can read them clearly? Isn't this deceiving?
This time everyone was dumbfounded.
This little Mr. Jia is so insidious!
Lei Heng frowned and started to act rogue.
"I'm not leaving today. Can't I still use the land we bought with blood and tears? The Yamen is also a place to be reasonable... Isn't this a lie? You must be honest at all times... Everyone said
, is this the right thing to do?”
The crowd was making a noise.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) remained unfazed and picked up another booklet from the case and sneered.
Lei Heng asked: "Sir, is there any problem?"
"The problem is very big... Lei Hengba is a member of the Martial Arts Mansion, right?"
"How can this be false?"
"But, as far as I know, Lei Heng of Bazhong Wufu is currently in Jilin... and you, Zhou Yulin, you, Wang Dada, and you, Wu Yufang... all have other
People... tell me, even your names are fake, how dare you talk about your integrity here, is this not a joke? I suspect that you are bandits pretending to be... Come on, take them
Lock them all up for me and interrogate them slowly!"
At this time, almost all the "rich businessmen" were shocked. They really didn't expect that Mr. Jia's news would be so fast and so accurate.
This is how to do?
Lei Heng and the others are all masters in the field, and the tasks assigned by the emperor cannot be disclosed casually.
All the "rich businessmen" looked at Lei Heng, who nodded, they were going to take action.
Lei Heng took two steps forward and said, "Sir, I have something to say to you alone."
Lei Heng's purpose is very simple, that is, he wants to control Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) as soon as possible.
But when he stood still, he was stunned because he saw a dark bullet hole in front of him.
"Dark artifacts..." Lei Heng gasped. Although he has never used these "dark artifacts", he has seen them and knows the power of "dark artifacts", which can kill people invisible.
Before Lei Heng could say anything, there was a crisp sound and Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) fired.
Suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire, and all the snipers hiding in the surroundings opened fire.
But they all hit these "rich businessmen" on the thighs, and without exception, they all fell to the ground.
The people outside were also surrounded by sergeants.
Let me make a few digressions here. The person who was shot definitely fell to the ground suddenly. He was definitely not shaking like in movies and TV shows. He could still stand and speak his lines, even if he was hit on the thigh. We were
Misled for many years and still misled.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) came out from behind the case and stepped on Lei Heng's hand.
The scream of "ah" spread far and wide.
At this time, the yamen officer came in to report that Master Nalan asked to see him.
"Whatever comes will come...it's time to come..." Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) thought to himself.
Obviously Nalan Xingde had been waiting nearby, otherwise he would not have arrived so quickly.
When Mr. Nalan came in, he was shocked to see more than twenty masters lying on the ground wailing.
These are top-notch masters, but are they so vulnerable in front of Master Xiao Jia?
"Why are Lord Nalan here?" Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) asked coldly.
"Come here for these wealthy businessmen..."
"No, they should be bandits."
"Sir, these are wealthy businessmen who are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs. They are here to do business for the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Nalan Xingde was also willing to risk everything. At this time, he had to accept it for the emperor.
"In what capacity does Lord Nalan speak?"
"The identity of the imperial minister."
"Okay, even if you are a merchant in the Ministry of Household Affairs, you cannot break the rules. The banknotes will be confiscated and the purchased land will be returned to the original purchaser."
"no problem."
Both of them felt sad that the two good friends had now reached the point where things were business-like.
