Chapter 125 The sky is high and the emperor is far away(2/3)
Then we will return to our Dalong as soon as possible and try to make another trip to the Western Region.
As a result, they have no time to litigate with those big caravans.
Therefore, as long as they have not suffered too much unfair treatment, they will naturally admit it with gritted teeth."
After listening to Dong Fuyuan's story, Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and nodded.
"I understand, if the people do not raise officials, they will not be punished."
Dong Fuyuan smiled bitterly and sighed melancholy.
"Hehehe, hehehe."
"well."
"That's right, people don't hold officials accountable.
None of those small caravans went to the Protectorate to file a complaint. The Protectorate couldn't just arrest the big caravans and hold them accountable for no reason.
Therefore, even if the Governor's Mansion heard some rumors, they would have no evidence and no witnesses.
As a result, even if they wanted to seek justice for those small caravans, there was nothing they could do.
So, it’s not that the Protectorate doesn’t want to take care of it, it’s that it can’t.”
Looking at Dong Fuyuan's melancholy expression, Mr. Liu gently took a puff of dry cigarette, and an imperceptible gloom quickly flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"If the people don't promote it, the officials won't investigate it."
"Hahaha, hahaha, what a good citizen who doesn't hold officials accountable."
"I didn't expect those big caravans to act so domineeringly in the Western Region."
Listening to Young Master Liu's somewhat unkind tone, Dong Fuyuan took a puff of dry cigarette with a sad expression.
"Brother, the situation is not as good as others, so what can we do?
As long as the trend is not too big, when it is time to bow your head, you will have to bow your head."
When it's time to bow your head, you just have to bow your head.
When Young Master Liu heard Dong Fuyuan's last words, he felt unwilling and helpless. With a gloomy expression, he raised his right hand and slapped it heavily on the table.
There was a dull thud.
Qi Yun, Qing Lian, Wen Ren Yunshu, their sisters, Little Cutie, and others were all frightened.
Song Qing, Liu Song and others, including Dong Fuyuan, were also shocked.
Even the other dozen or so tables of guests in the restaurant subconsciously turned around and took a look at the situation at Young Master Liu's side.
Young Master Liu ignored the glances directed at him, a cold and stern look flashed in his eyes.
"Over the years, the imperial court has opened up trade routes and encouraged the common people to engage in business. The purpose is to allow the people in state capitals all over the world to exchange what they have and get what they need from the hands of caravan merchants of all sizes.
This allows people to enrich their lives.
For the imperial court to act in this way is to benefit the country and the people.
However, some bastards, for their own selfish interests, actually committed the abominable act of bullying the weak, using the big to bully the small, and dominating the market.
Such profit-driven dogs deserve death.
Even if you die ten thousand times, it is not a pity to die."
Dong Fuyuan came back to his senses, looked at the angry-looking Young Master Liu, and quickly reached out and tugged on his sleeves with a look of panic.
"Brother, be careful what you say! Be careful what you say!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the panicked Dong Fuyuan, suppressed the anger in his heart, and hugged him with a smile.
"Brother Dong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lost my temper again.
Brother, when I think that my group may also suffer such unfair things, I can't help but feel angry in my heart.
Sorry, so rude.
I hope you won’t take offense to this rudeness, Brother Dong.”
Dong Fuyuan turned around and blew out a puff of smoke, then raised his hand and patted Mr. Liu's arm twice gently.
"Understand, understand, brother, brother, I can understand your mood.
If it were anyone else, you would probably have the same reaction.
However, you should listen to my brother's advice, in case you are really unfortunate enough to encounter such a large caravan.
At that time, you must endure it if you can, and give in if you can!
Never, never be impulsive."
"Hey, I understand, brother. Thank you very much for your kindness."
Young Master Liu collected his emotions, picked up the tea cup and gestured to Dong Fuyuan.
"Brother, I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."
"You're welcome, you're welcome, let's drink together."
"Brother."
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Young Master Liu moved his body, leaned over the table and knocked out the ashes from the smoke pot.
"Brother Dong, except for the situations you just mentioned.
Is there anything happening in the Western Region where our dragon caravan bullies the caravans of the countries in the Western Region, as well as the caravans of all countries in the far west?"
Dong Fuyuan put down the teacup in his hand and answered Young Master Liu's question directly without thinking.
"No."
Seeing Dong Fuyuan's answer so readily, Young Master Liu frowned, rolled up his tobacco bag and put it on the table.
"No?"
"Yes, no."
Young Master Liu took a breath silently and picked up his teacup casually.
"Hiss, aren't there those big caravans you mentioned?"
"That's right, no."
Young Master Liu took two sips of tea, his eyes full of doubts.
"Those big caravans even dared to bully our own people, Dalong, but they didn't even bully the caravans of the countries in the Western Region, as well as the caravans of all the countries in the far west.
This! This! Why is this?"
"Brother, most of the merchants in the Western Regions are locals.
And those large and small caravans in the far west are very close to the Western Region, so it doesn't take much time to travel from their country to the countries in the Western Region for trade.
Compared to our small caravan from Dalong, these two caravans can litigate with those big caravans at the Protectorate at any time.
Especially the caravans from the countries in the Western Regions, most of them are locals.
Not afraid of engaging in a protracted battle with those big caravans.
In this way, those big caravans will not dare to bully the caravans from the countries in the Western Region, as well as the caravans from the countries in the far west that come to the Western Region."
After Liu Mingzhi listened to Dong Fuyuan's words, a cold and stern look flashed deep in his eyes again.
"Hmph, hehehe, these bastards are really interesting to watch."
"Hey, who says it isn't?"
Liu Mingzhi frowned and pondered thoughtfully for a moment, then nodded with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"In a word, the sky is high and the emperor is far away."
"The fundamental reason why these bastards dare to commit such audacious evil deeds is because the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
They think that our Emperor will not know that the various crimes they have committed here in the Western Regions deserve to be executed.
That's why they dare to do this kind of behavior in the Western Region of bullying the small, relying on the strong to bully the weak, and bullying and dominating the market.
