Chapter 349 Making things bigger and more widespread
"Your Majesty, I have no intention of interfering in government affairs!"
"I am here for that poor daughter, I hope she can be happy!"
Queen Changsun said in a deep voice.
She glared at Li Shimin with extremely firm eyes.
In the five years since she became queen, she has never interfered in government affairs.
I haven’t thought about it before, I haven’t thought about it now, and I probably won’t in the future.
But as a mother, is it wrong for her to hope that her daughter will be happier and happier?
"You!"
Li Shimin pointed at Queen Changsun, his eyes erratic.
This was the first time he saw Empress Changsun facing him like this, with such firm eyes.
If this quarrel continues, there will definitely be a falling out between the two parties, and the relationship between the couple for many years may break down at this moment.
But leaving Empress Changsun in this way, Li Shimin felt that it undermined the emperor's majesty.
"Your Majesty, Queen, calm down, calm down!"
"Let the younger generations take care of their affairs."
"Let's talk about legislation, let's talk about legislation."
Upon seeing this, Changsun Wuji quickly stepped forward to break up the fight.
He saw clearly Empress Changsun's determination and understood that forcefulness was impossible.
Since he can't do it forcefully, he will help secretly and let Changsun Chong work harder to pursue Princess Changle.
In this way, if Li Shimin cooperates, the chances between Princess Changle and Changsun Chong will be very high.
"Please step back, I have to deal with political affairs."
Li Shimin said with a straight face.
He was very angry, but he didn't want to be angry with Queen Changsun.
"Concubine, please retire!"
Empress Changsun said nothing and bowed to leave.
Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin were left in the Imperial Study Room.
"Auxiliary machine, don't worry, the marriage between Chang Le and Chang Sun Chong is still valid!"
Li Shimin promised Changsun Wuji.
This day.
Cui Zhentang's face is calm.
After returning to his office after the meeting, Cui Zhentang felt like he was eating shit.
Fang Yuan approached Liu Zhenghui and Li Daozong successively, and was finally called into the palace by Li Shimin. He knew it and was constantly shocked.
Shocked, Fang Yuan actually convinced Liu Zhenghui and Li Daozong, and finally shocked the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, who all came to the palace to express their thoughts.
This is not the saddest thing for Cui Zhentang. The saddest thing is that there are rumors outside that he is addicted to copper smelting, and Fang Yuan disdains working with him and leaves the household department.
When the news spread, his reputation for many years of business was almost destroyed.
After Cui Zhentang returned to the Boling Cui family, he immediately summoned the family stewards.
"No matter how much it costs, no matter how much money I spend, I will get my reputation back!"
Cui Zhentang said in a deep voice.
The family has institutions to control public opinion.
By collecting intelligence, fabricating intelligence, and finally disseminating intelligence.
With the support of strong family power, the public opinion of Wu Xing Qi Wang has always been the strongest.
It’s easy for them to discredit someone or make someone famous.
"When using the family intelligence agency, should we ask the clan leader for his opinion?"
The steward said calmly.
Major events in the clan are controlled by the clan leader.
If you want to change public opinion on a large scale like Cui Zhentang, you usually need the consent of the clan leader.
"Inform the clan leader now. It will take five or six days to go back and forth."
"In five or six days, my reputation will be ruined. I can't wait any longer!"
"I will write a letter to request the clan leader. If the clan leader wants to blame, I will bear the responsibility!"
Cui Zhentang said in a deep voice.
Now only by keeping our reputation can we have future glory.
Even if the clan leader is dissatisfied, he can only temporarily overstep his authority.
"Yes."
Stewardship should be.
Leave with Cui Zhentang’s intention.
It didn't take long for the Bolingcui family's huge intelligence agency to be put into operation.
"Cui Zhentang loves young girls so much, but the reason is that he wants to have a daughter. The reason is embarrassing."
"The addiction to copper smelting is a myth. The evil people slandered it because of jealousy. It turns out that Fang Yuan, Shifu Fang, is that kind of person."
"Shocking news! The truth behind Cui Zhentang's copper smelting was to raise a homeless girl. It's really admirable. Those who spread rumors have sinister intentions."
News is spreading among the people.
There are storytellers and some scholars.
People talk about it in teahouses, restaurants and other places where there are many people.
The wind direction suddenly changed, and people began to doubt the truth.
Is there someone who is jealous of Cui Zhentang being promoted to Minister of Household Affairs and spreading rumors and slander?
Or is Cui Zhentang really addicted to copper smelting?
Under the strong public opinion of the Boling Cui family, Cui Zhentang's image has undergone tremendous changes.
Fang Yuan soon learned about this change, and the whitewashing of Cui Zhentang was probably unexpected. He felt that it was all just headlines and very eye-catching.
"Master, do we want to fight back?"
The red catkin and green woman asked.
"How is the White Tiger Club now?"
Fang Yuan asked.
Last month, the White Tiger Club opened a branch in Chang'an City.
Among them, Lu Chuchu, the oiran of the store, also came with her.
As the oiran of the White Tiger Club, Lu Chuchu is also quite beautiful in Chang'an City.
With Fang Yuan's secret support, the White Tiger Club is now quite famous among the brothels in Chang'an City.
But considering that Du Miaoyan was pregnant, Fang Yuan never went to the White Tiger Club once, and Lu Chuchu was not allowed to come to Fang Mansion.
"It's developing very well."
"It's just that Lu Chuchu always wants to see you."
Hongxu and Qingyao looked at each other and said with pouty lips.
Now the master is no longer what he used to be, and Lu Chuchu can no longer be like before.
Once an oiran appears in Fang Mansion, Fang Yuan's reputation may be smeared the next day.
"Tell her that the time has not come yet and let her use intelligence agencies to publicize the truth about Cui Zhentang's copper smelting."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
His intelligence agency was initially run by Lu Xia and Lu Chuchu.
But Lu Xia is now assigned to deal with Huaxia Bank, and the intelligence agency is now in charge of Lu Chuchu.
However, Lu Chuchu was not alone in power. When the White Tiger Club opened in Chang'an City, Mo Cailing became one of the leaders of Fang Yuan's intelligence agency.
"Yes."
Hongxu and Qinggao leave.
Soon, starting from the White Tiger Club, things about Cui Zhentang's copper smelting were leaked out.
Baihu Club is a romantic place, and the romantic place naturally talks about romantic things, so more people believe it.
In addition, the information Princess Gaomi gave to Fang Yuan was all true. Fang Yuan had specially investigated it, and there was clear evidence proving that Cui Zhentang was smelting copper.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In addition to the fact that there is no legal sanction for copper smelting, Cui Zhentang's copper smelting has actually been established in the hearts of many people, but it has not caused much fluctuation.
After all, Bolingcui's intelligence agency is really powerful.
Several days passed, and Fang Yuan did not go to the Household Department.
Cui Zhentang also used the family's intelligence agency to reverse public opinion.
At the same time, he also discovered that most of the people who believed in him for smelting copper had been to the White Tiger Club.
Cui Zhentang is naturally familiar with the White Tiger Club, it was opened by Fang Yuan in Liaozhou.
So Cui Zhentang gave Cui Yuanting an order to take the Chang'an government officials to seize the White Tiger Club.
Immediately, Cui Yuanting separated from Zheng Jiu and others, selected some trustworthy people and went to the White Tiger Club to seal them immediately.
Seeing that Cui Yuanting and others had arrived at the entrance of the Baihu Club, they were about to seal the Baihu Club.
A team wearing sackcloth and mourning appeared on the street and walked toward Cui Yuanting and others.
This team also held up banners, which made Cui Yuanting feel numb.
The people on both sides looked at it and backed down one after another, and they were also shocked.
[Cui Zhentang must die a good death, his addiction to copper smelting killed my eight-year-old daughter!]
[Cui Zhentang is extremely perverted. Copper smelting caused my six-year-old daughter to suffer from brain disease. Please ask the Chang'an County Magistrate to make the decision for us.]
[Where is the law, where is the law, why can Cui Zhentang, who smelted copper and harmed seven of our daughters, be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs?!]
On the white banner, the words in blood were shocking, and everyone who saw it was shocked.
But what shocked people was not the words above, but how these ordinary people dare to do this?
"Slander the important officials of the imperial court and let me capture them!"
Cui Yuanting made a decision immediately.
With a cold face, he ordered the government officials to take them down and control the impact to the minimum.
As long as these people are controlled, then these things can be said to be false regardless of whether they are true or false, and it can be said that someone did it deliberately.
"Take it!"
The officials acted quickly.
The fierce spirit rushed towards the team.
What's worse, they directly draw a knife and threaten.
The team immediately went into chaos and looked at the government officials in horror.
They are all family members of the victims, and they are afraid of Cui Zhentang's authority and dare not report to the official or make trouble.
But someone found them, gave them a lot of money, and after ensuring their safety, they started marching as planned.
"It's a pity that they are destined to be fruitless."
"I admire you very much. You dare to confront the Bolingcui family."
"Cui Zhentang must have been smelting copper for a while, why are they making trouble now?"
Everyone was talking at the entrance of Baihu Club.
I feel admiration, pity, and confusion for the people who marched.
Those who can spend money at the White Tiger Club are those with some money. Coupled with the lobbying of the girls at the Baihu Club, most people here feel that Cui Zhentang is really addicted to copper smelting.
In the White Tiger Club, Lu Chuchu stood at the window on the third floor and looked at everything below, frowning.
If you want to see the government officials, you rush in front of the people. A uniformly dressed team appears in the distance - the security team.
"What's going on, Magistrate Cui?"
"When people have grievances and don't think about how to solve them, they just want to take them down?"
Fang Yuan appeared from behind the security team and sneered.
With the appearance of the security team, the government officials stopped sprinting.
After Cui Yuanting heard Fang Yuan's voice, his expression changed.
"Shilang Fang?!"
Many people exclaimed.
Everyone knows that Fang Yuan exposed Cui Zhentang’s addiction to copper smelting.
Now, on the streets of Chang'an City, there are seven or eight families holding banners and causing trouble. It must also be Fang Yuan's work.
"Servant Fang, these unscrupulous people insulted the important officials of the imperial court in the street. I will take them down according to the law and take them back for trial. Is there any problem?"
Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.
Because of Fang Yuan, the Boling Cui clan is very passive now.
Although it did little harm to the Bolingcui family, it caused quite a lot of trouble.
"Insulting an important official of the imperial court should naturally lead to trial."
"But Magistrate Cui commands his subordinates as if they want to kill people. Is it appropriate?"
"They are all our subjects of the Tang Dynasty. They have grievances and are not foreign enemies."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
He couldn't help but admire Cui Yuanting's reasons.
It's not making trouble in the street, nor is it slandering important officials of the imperial court, it's an insult.
As long as it was the first two reasons, Fang Yuan could not take Cui Yuanting away, but the last reason could.
"They are so arrogant, I will punish them severely when I go back."
"But can these unscrupulous people be brought back by the officials?"
Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.
He doesn't want to stay here for too long.
Because there has been a lot of commotion.
The longer time passes, the more people will know about it and the harder it will be to calm it down.
Moreover, Fang Yuan obviously came prepared, and he couldn't stay too long.
"What's the rush? I have something to ask them."
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
He spent a lot of effort to invite these people.
How could Cui Yuanting take them away so quickly?
"Servant Fang, the Minister of Hubu, have no right to interrogate!"
Cui Yuanting's expression changed, he took a step forward and said in a deep voice.
If these people were interrogated by Fang Yuan, how could Cui Zhentang's reputation be preserved?
"I'm just asking a routine question."
"Is there something shady about Magistrate Cui that I am not allowed to ask?"
Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile.
Everyone at the scene listened, their faces changed, and their eyes looked expectant.
Lu Chuchu walked out of the White Tiger Club, looking at Fang Yuan with shining eyes.
"Routine inquiries will not work either!"
"This is the power of subordinate officials, not the rights of officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.
This face must not be given to Fang Yuan.
At the same time, Cui Yuanting secretly winked and asked people to move reinforcements.
The number of people Fang Yuan brought was a little more than his, so it was not easy to confront Fang Yuan head-on.
"I am the Minister of Household Affairs, what's the matter?"
"Fellow folks, are these banners of yours real or fake?"
"Think carefully before answering. It is a serious crime to slander an important official of the imperial court and you will be imprisoned."
Fang Yuan snorted coldly.
Then he looked back at the frightened family members of the victim.
Looking at their appearance, Fang Yuan sighed in his heart and felt embarrassed to speak.
"Yes, it's true!"
"My daughter was harmed by that beast Cui Zhentang!"
"I saw him with my own eyes that day. He passed by my farmland with his slaves and took away my eight-year-old daughter."
"When I saw my daughter again, she turned into a corpse, with a lot of black bruises on her body, there, there."
A middle-aged man stood up and spoke tremblingly.
When he spoke deeply, tears fell from his eyes, and his family members even cried loudly.
"Shilang Fang, you have exceeded your authority!"
Cui Yuanting looked ugly and ordered the government officials to take action.
The government officials looked at each other and slowly approached Fang Yuan's direction.
But they were blocked by security teams holding firecrackers, and they no longer had the arrogance they had just now.
"Is there any witness?!"
Fang Yuan ignored Cui Yuanting and said coldly.
"Yes, yes, many people in our village have seen it."
The middle-aged man cried and said.
"I also have a witness!"
"I also saw someone who was a domestic slave of the Bolingcui family!"
"Look at my daughter, look at my daughter, she is so young, she is so young!"
Other family members of the victims cried.
But except for the family of the first victim, the rest were just domestic slaves who saw the Bolingcui family.
Finally, two little girls were pushed out, but their hair was disheveled. They looked like they had experienced a huge fright, and their arms and bodies were stained black in many places.
Everyone at the scene was in an uproar as they watched, and they all secretly cursed Cui Zhentang as a beast.
At this time, a large group of people came not far away, wearing the Bolingcui family's slave uniforms.
