Chapter 12

Chen Jingchuan, who was lying on the ground, was frightened. He replied with a thorn in his mouth: "Report to the Prince, the people..."

"According to the Great Qin Etiquette system, the business is the cheapest. The sect mansion must not be more than three meters high. The steps can only be used for four steps. The door nails must not exceed 36 at most. You must not own land in the capital. Chen Jingchuan, are you trampling the Great Qin Etiquette system under your feet and looking at nothing?"

Li Chen directly interrupted Chen Jingchuan and said calmly.

Although the tone of these words was indifferent, they contained extremely cold murderous intent.

Under the murderous intent, dozens of Jinyiwei were eyeing him, as if with the prince's order, the Chen family members immediately turned into a pool of meat paste.

Chen Jingchuan was frightened. He followed the advice of the masters and told him to ignore the prince's banquet, but he did not want to be caught in the prince and the court. The struggle between imperial power and ministers became victims.

Although no one dared to surpass the etiquette system when the dynasty was launched, the court has become increasingly corrupt and decayed for more than 200 years, and no one cares about these things at all. But if the prince catches the handle, it is a serious crime.

There is nothing else, power.

He explained in a trembling voice: "Caomin is wronged. This house was rented by Caomin, not purchased. Caomin is willing to cancel the lease immediately..."

"I have trampled on the rules set by Taizu, can I just say that I can get rid of the rent?"

Li Chen sneered, stared at Chen Jingchuan, and said calmly: "I don't want to listen to your explanation, nor do I plan to know who gave you the courage to give me the face. I want to lend your Chen family's head to let those people see what they will end up offending me."

Chen Jingchuan heard this and his liver and gallbladder were both broken.

Looking at the vicious Dongchang Jinyiwei around him, he knew that the prince was definitely not just talking.

At this moment, he was extremely regretful of getting involved and said hurriedly: "Please beg the prince and ask the prince to beg him!"

Behind Chen Jingchuan, the woman was so scared that she cried out on the spot. A young man immediately stood up and pointed at Li Chen and shouted angrily: "Although you are the prince, our Chen family is also a law-abiding businessman. If you have any disagreement, you will be beaten and killed. In this way, how can people in the world be convinced? Don't forget that the people in the capital are all watching you behind you!"

When Chen Jingchuan saw his son jumping out and saying this, he was extremely frightened and angry. He immediately slapped his son in the face and cursed: "Shut up, you rebellious son! Do you want the whole Chen family to die??"

After saying that, Chen Jingchuan knelt down at Li Chen and cried, "Your Highness, the people are incompetent in educating their children, so I beg your prince to be kind to you."

Li Chen looked at the boy who was slapped in the face and became more dissatisfied, and said lightly: "No, I have courage."

"You Chen family, as one of the largest grain merchants in the capital, are now full of disasters and countless victims who change their children to eat. They are the people in the capital. They also work hard for three meals a day at the feet of the emperor. What can you get in exchange for? You grain merchants would rather get moldy while holding on to the grain than selling grain at normal prices. Now the price of a pound of white rice in the market has increased ten times. Who is the sin of you grain merchants? It is the sin of you grain merchants!"

"Since ancient times, businessmen value profit and trampled on the righteousness of a gentleman. When you make a fortune in the country and absorb the wealth of the people, why don't you know that the people are watching? Now that retribution has come, you use the people as a shield? Is it stupid to be a person? "

Li Chen said something loudly, and countless people watching the fun were excited.

Grain merchants have money and food, and they can only get a little bit of food by selling their property. Such public grievances have already been boiling, but there is no venting.

Now that the prince is here in person, these words have come to their hearts.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind, your Highness the Crown Prince is kind!"

In the crowd, several old men knelt down immediately and shouted excitedly.

Immediately afterwards, the people knelt down in a large area, all shouting about the mercy of the prince.

Seeing that Li Chen had a few words to occupy the righteousness and the hearts of the people, Chen Jingchuan was both disintegrated and felt that the disaster was coming.

How could he deal with such a way to play with people's hearts?

"The person who came from the Chen family, the head of the family Chen Jingchuan, ignored the imperial etiquette system and exceeded the rules. He did not know how to be polite to the people when the country was in trouble, did not know how difficult the court was, and he made great money in the troubled country, and his son even collided with the prince of the country, which was a great disrespect."

"The prince of this palace ordered that all the three tribes of the Chen family should be beheaded and displayed to the public. The property they held was filled in the treasury without leaving any of them for disaster relief."

With Li Chen's order, he was a rolling head.

Chen Jingchuan felt that his eyes were dark. He was frightened and rushed up to ask for mercy, but was stopped by two Jinyiwei guards pressed their swords against their necks.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince spares his life, and the Cao people are just helpless. The Cao people are willing to donate all their money and spend all their money to get a life of mercy. Please ask Your Highness to give your mercy in the law!"

Li Chen just pretended that he didn't hear it, turned his horse's head and walked towards the next house.

The people spontaneously made way for the road and welcomed them in the middle of the road.

Chen Jingchuan's screams gradually faded away. When he was about to reach the second Hu family, Li Chen glanced at Xu Changqing, who was pale and said lightly: "Are you scared? Or do you think this palace is too tyrannical?"

Xu Changqing didn't dare to tell the truth, but just smiled bitterly: "Wei Chen, I just think that these three major grain merchants are nothing, but the reason why they dared to unite and reject the invitation of His Highness the Crown Prince must be because someone interfered with it. His Highness the Crown Prince did this so easily, and it might be the same as the other party's wishes."

"Yes, I know I'm going to think about the problem when I stand here." Li Chen said with satisfaction.

Xu Changqing smiled bitterly.

His Royal Highness came out so much that he was so popular that everyone could see his methods and brought him with him. This was clearly to let everyone know that he was already the prince's person, and he couldn't wash this trace even if he wanted to wash it. It meant that Xu Changqing had no choice but to follow the prince and walked to the dark side.

"Whether it is exactly what they think or beyond their expectations, it is not what I am considering now. What I need to do is to use the sharpest knife to cut the mess in the capital cleanly in the shortest time."

"Those ghosts and monsters are intrigue and intrigue in the court, I don't have the time and time to slowly grind them. Whoever blocks my way will cut off anyone to kill and destroy all things. I am the legitimate heir of the world. Now I am even more in charge of the country. If I don't use this special advantage, would I have to endure that old thing Zhao Xuanji to death?"

"Following his spirit, I have at least ten years to live. By then, I am already thirty or forty years old. Even if I can stand it, the empire can't stand it. I don't have the patience to endure it, and I am even more lazy to play these intrigues with them. I will kill them all, and they will be clean and neat."

After Li Chen said that, he gently clamped the horse's belly, and the horse was extremely spiritual. He immediately accelerated and threw Xu Changqing behind him.

Xu Changqing stared at the prince's back in a daze, feeling that the prince had also thought things too simple. If the word "kill" could solve everything, the emperor would have solved all the troubles long ago.

Regardless of Xu Changqing's thoughts, Li Chen had already arrived at the door of Hu's house.

The Chen family's fate had obviously been spread to the Hu family.

Outside the Hu family, Hu Qian and his family were already waiting.

Not only Hu Qian is there, but also a middle-aged man with extraordinary demeanor, standing beside Hu Qian.

Seeing Li Chen's carriage coming from afar, Hu Qian asked the middle-aged man beside him with a little fear: "Mr. Qian, is it really okay? You have heard the news just now, and the Chen family is over."

Qian Han glanced at Hu Qian with a pale face and snorted coldly: "With me here, what are you afraid of? Since you are willing to hand over half of your property and ask me for protection, I will naturally be able to protect you from the prince's hands. Even if I don't give you my face, will he dare not give you the Prime Minister's face?"

Hu Qian felt a little relieved when he heard this, and felt that if he could escape this disaster, even though he had lost half of his property, he would finally have half of it. Then he would make plans.

Li Chen has already reached the point of speaking.

"Do you have more etiquette and don't take any measures to the prince."

After Qian Han finished speaking, he bowed to Li Chen first, "I am the queen, Tongzheng, the envoy of Tongzheng, Qian Han, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Hu Qian, the grass man, come to see His Royal Highness Qiansheng with his family."

"Your Highness, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years."

Li Chen's eyes fell on Qian Han and said lightly: "Why are you here?"

Qian Han immediately replied: "Reply to the words of the Crown Prince, the Wei minister and Hu Qian are good friends, and they happen to be guests at Hu Qian's house."

Li Chen said indifferently: "Didn't Hu Qian say that he went to another local branch to check the accounts? Why? Could it be that Mr. Hu can teleport? Or, it was because you, Lord Qian, that's why Hu Qian found an excuse to push the banquet in this palace?"

Qian Han frowned, but his expression was still calm. He replied: "Maybe there are some misunderstandings. Your Highness, the Crown Prince has a noble status, why bother with a businessman? If Your Highness feels that you can't come to Taiwan, Hu Qian, I'll compensate Your Highness for your Highness."

Seeing this, Hu Qian immediately knelt down and bowed, "Your Highness, please forgive me, as it is really an unintentional act."

Seeing the two of them singing together and even perfunctory and being so hypocritical, Li Chen was happy.

"Not bad, it's better than Chen Jingchuan. At least I don't feel guilty when I kill myself."

Qian Han's face changed and he said, "What does your prince mean?"

"As Tongzhengshi, the Tongzhengshi, and the third-rank official, why did you have too close contact with a businessman?"

Li Chen sneered, not intending to listen to Qian Han's explanation at all, and gave Sanbao a wink.

The eunuch Sanbao smiled and said to the Jinyiwei on both sides: "Go and search for our Lord Qian if there is anything we shouldn't bring with us."

When Qian Han saw two Jinyiwei coming, he immediately said frightened and said, "I am a student of the Chief Auxiliary, Lord Zhao. I am a confidant. Do you dare to disrespect me!"

The eunuch of Sanbao said sinisterly: "The Za Family has long wanted to disrespect you, so what if you rely on the Prime Minister? Behind the Za Family is the Prince!"

"So what can the prince? Can the prince cover the sky with one hand? If the prince angers angers, even the prince will bow his head!"

Qian Han, who was shocked and angry, obviously lost his mind and spoke this in front of Li Chen and countless people.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Han himself realized that he had caused a big disaster.

His face was pale, but he gritted his teeth and stared at Li Chen.

It doesn't matter if you say something wrong, but there is finally a chance to make up for it. As long as the Prime Minister saves him, he will be sure that he will not be in trouble.

But if the things on his body are found, he may be ruined on the spot.

Li Chen's eyes were cold, and he said lightly: "So brave."

The murderous intent is already brewing and is about to reach the peak of the outbreak.

The eunuch Sanbao snorted coldly and said, "Search his body!"

Qian Han was both heartbroken, but no matter how he resisted, how could he resist the two Jinyiweisses who were powerless?

Qian Han was overturned to the ground by a Jinyiwei and tore his clothes open. The more he struggled, the more his clothes were torn.

The third-rank official of the dynasty was considered to have lost all Swen at this time.

Qian Han was both ashamed and angry, and he roared: "You humiliate me so much, and I will definitely not give up! Prince, if you are so arrogant and domineering, aren't you afraid of all civil and military officials? Whoever speaks in the world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Jinyiwei withdrew a large handful of silver notes and land deeds from the lining of his arms.

Seeing this, the eunuch Sanbao's eyes lit up. He walked forward quickly and took a few glances, then took a breath of cold air.

He respectfully sent all the silver notes and land deeds to Li Chen and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, all the silver notes found on Qian Han are the maximum denomination of 100,000 taels per bill, about 40, as well as land deeds and dozens of merchant deeds."

After shaking the banknotes in his hand, Li Chen sneered: "These silver notes alone are more than four million taels. Lord Qian, you alone can match half of the national treasury."

Qian Han's face turned pale. He had just obtained all the money from the Hu family, but he was anxious for a moment and it was too early. He was caught before he could hide it.

He knew that he was finished.

Thinking of this, Qian Han became more and more timid and yelled at Li Chen like a broken can, "So what? I am the confidant of the prime minister. Can you still dare to kill me!? The prime minister will not let you go!"

Li Chen's murderous intent finally brewed and accumulated to the limit.
