Li Chen laughed, nodded and said: "Yes, this is what my father, the vassal king, and even now I want most! Standing behind Mr. Jingzhi is a scholar from all over the world. He is the most respected scholar in the world.
The status is like a living saint. Once he chooses us, then we will have the support of the world's literati and a steady stream of talents. What the East Palace lacks most now is not power or money, but talents!"
"In short, once this matter is completed, the East Palace will have an influence among the people that the cabinet can only dream of!"
"Even though the cabinet is still powerful in government affairs, with the support of the world's literati, no one dares to ignore the decrees of the East Palace."
Narrowing his eyes, Li Chen said softly: "This is the knife that can kill Zhao Xuanji!"
Su Jinpa was very excited when she heard this. She wanted to ask something, but she felt that the carriage slowed down, and then Sanbao's voice came from outside.
"Your Highness, there is a fight ahead."
Li Chen frowned and said: "If you can go around, go around. If you can't go around, just separate the fighting parties. Do you still need to ask me about this trivial matter?"
Sanbao replied awkwardly: "But the one who was beaten seems to be an official of Weihaiwei."
Officials were beaten. This was unprecedented news.
Li Chen frowned after hearing this, already feeling dissatisfied with the prefect of Weihaiwei.
No matter what the reason is, if the prefect allows the officials to beat people, that is the prefect's problem, and it is a big joke in the world.
"Control both parties and bring them up for questioning." Li Chen said calmly.
Sanbao responded, and then heard shouts from outside the carriage. The shouts immediately turned into curses and screams, and then became quiet.
After it became quiet, Li Chen got out of the carriage and looked condescendingly at the more than 20 people in front of him who were controlled by the Jin Yiwei.
A small number of them were wearing the clothes of official servants and had bruises on their noses and faces and many injuries.
The other side is dressed like ordinary people.
Weihaiwei is located on the seaside, at the junction of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. It is rich in fishery resources. Most of the local people make a living from fishing, so they all have dark skin and strong muscles. In this disaster year, Weihaiwei is a rare place that can be self-sufficient.
How is one of the areas affected by natural disasters.
Li Chen only glanced at it and asked indifferently: "Why are you fighting?"
On the officer's side, the leader knelt on the ground and did not dare to move, because when he resisted before, a Jin Yiwei used Dongchang's identity token to hit his face with a nosebleed.
When someone comes from Dongchang, they don't care whether you are an official or not. They will kill you if you say they will kill you.
Although he didn't know Li Chen at the moment, this noble gentleman had an extraordinary bearing. Regardless of the exquisiteness of his clothes, he used fabrics he could not recognize. He was extremely luxurious and his appearance was extremely noble, completely beyond the scope of the hierarchy he had ever seen.
outside.
At that moment, he didn't dare to be arrogant at all, and immediately replied: "In reply to this young master, I am a Weihai guard official, and I was ordered to come to collect fishery tax money, but this group of unruly people dared to resist with force, and they quarreled a few times.
Then he used his hands to beat us like this."
Hearing this, Li Chen looked at the group of strong men and said in a deep voice: "It is natural for the government to collect taxes. Not only do you not pay taxes in accordance with the law, but you also resisted with force. Do you know that this is a capital crime?"
On the side of the strong men, the leader was a man in his thirties who was in his prime. Although he didn't have much knowledge, he still had basic eyesight. The group of people in front of him all carried knives and threw out an unknown waistband.
, even the official officer became honest, and he looked like a big shot in the official family.
After all, they are just a group of ordinary fishermen. They dare to fight when they get angry. They are caught and beaten quickly, but they are not stupid enough to risk losing their heads when they collide with a big shot.
