Chapter 533 Chamber of Commerce

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince..."

When Song Tongfu opened his mouth to speak, he immediately noticed many eyes on him from above the hall. For example, Li Yuan was sitting on the dragon chair in the middle of the hall, and Prince Li Jiancheng was standing not far away. Of course, as a descendant of the Liu family, Liu Qian, at this moment

He also looked closely at Song Tongfu.

Although Li Jiancheng's intentions are confusing, the best thing to do at this moment is to remain silent. Therefore, it is necessary for him to give Song Tongfu some hints.

Of course, Song Tongfu saw the look in Liu Qian's eyes, but other than the bitterness in his heart, there was no other feeling.

At this time, Song Tongfu felt extremely regretful.

If I had known earlier, why would I have offered an olive branch to the Liu family in Peixian County just to make my official career smoother? In fact, isn't it a pleasure to move up step by step?

However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and it is only right to answer Li Jiancheng's words.

"[Peixing Chamber of Commerce] definitely belongs to the Liu family." Now that he had made his decision, Song Tongfu no longer hesitated.

"[Pei Xing Chamber of Commerce], judging from the meaning of its name, was founded by the Liu family of Peixian County in order to revive the glory of their Peixian County. And now the person in charge of [Pei Xing Chamber of Commerce] is Lord Liu Qian's second son - Liu Wangyuan

, and the base of the Chamber of Commerce was first in Peixian County, and later moved to Chang'an City, and then moved to Taiyuan for unknown reasons."

Since he chose to compromise with Li Jiancheng, Song Tongfu naturally made everything clear about the Peixing Chamber of Commerce.

If he had not been forced to do so, Song Tongfu would not have been such a repetitive villain. After all, he had also read the books of sages and sages. Selling his friends for glory, his bosses for glory, and his country for glory. Such things are deeply despised, and few people would even think about it.

Become such a person.

He truly felt Li Jiancheng's murderous intent. If he were alone, he would fight to the end. However, with his parents and children at home, he did not dare to fight, and he could not afford to fight.

He had also witnessed Li Jiancheng's murderous methods, so there was no need to doubt this.

"Crunch, crunch..."

Liu Qian's exquisite facial features were compacted together at this moment. His resentful eyes were staring at Song Tongfu, obviously very angry at his betrayal.

However, he did not have the courage and strength of Li Jiancheng. He dared to kill people in the hall.

"Liu Qian, Mr. Liu, aren't you going to speak yet?" Li Jiancheng's eyes filled with a sarcastic smile, glanced at Liu Qian with neither salt nor indifference.

"Your Highness, Mr. Song is not a member of my Liu family, so how can he know about the affairs of my Liu family? Besides, the things that His Highness said are not very clear to me."

Liu Qian stiffened his neck and still answered Li Jiancheng's words forcefully.

"Haha, good, very good. This prince likes tough people like Mr. Liu, otherwise wouldn't life be a lot less fun?"

Liu Qian's answer not only did not offend Li Jiancheng, but made him excited.

"this…"

All the ministers looked at each other in confusion. Why did His Highness the Crown Prince burst into laughter all of a sudden? Could it be that the previous speculation that His Highness the Crown Prince had epilepsy was correct?

Of course, they didn't dare to speak out what they thought in their hearts. In this situation, silence is the way to go.

"Guards, go to Mr. Liu Qian's house. Invite Mr. Liu's second son Liu Wangyuan. If I remember correctly, it seems that Liu Wangyuan happened to visit Chang'an City a few days ago. Mr. Liu, am I not wrong?"

Hearing this, Liu Qian, who had an angry face before, suddenly trembled, and his reddish face turned blue and white for a while.

At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: a huge net was coming over them, aristocratic families like them.

Li Jiancheng unknowingly mobilized troops and horses to escort the members of the six families to Chang'an City, which already illustrates some problems.

Liu Qian's second son Liu Wangyuan arrived in Chang'an not many days ago, and Liu Qian did not greet him, so there were very few people in Chang'an who knew about Liu Wangyuan's arrival. And Li Jiancheng told the matter calmly, wouldn't it?

Does it further explain that Li Jiancheng had a premeditated plan?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

Liu Qian was worthy of being a minister who had experienced two dynasties, and he responded in an instant. With a straight face, he stepped forward to explain. Besides, what if [Pei Xing Chamber of Commerce] really belongs to their Liu family? Is there any such thing?

The law states that aristocratic families cannot have their own chamber of commerce?

"Don't be anxious, Mr. Liu Qian. We will know the right and wrong when we bring Liu Wangyuan here."

Li Jiancheng, however, did not give Liu Qian a chance to speak and directly blocked him with words. After all, Liu Qian was not Li Jiancheng, so he could only retreat to his seat with a bitter face.

"Lord Wang Yunchang, do you know about the [Jinling Chamber of Commerce]?"

Li Jiancheng still had a smile on his face, but the ministers present were not happy about it. On the contrary, seeing Li Jiancheng's smile, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

At this moment, Wang Yunchang, who was called by Li Jiancheng, had such a mentality.

Although Li Jiancheng had already said before that today he was going to deal with six major families, and the Langya Wang family was one of them. However, when things came to pass, he would still feel trembling.

"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, [Jinling Chamber of Commerce] is my Wang family's property."

With Liu Qian's lesson learned from the past, Wang Yunchang already knew how to answer. Anyway, if you extend your head, it's a knife, and if you shrink your head, it's also a knife, so it's better to simply do it.

"Haha, Mr. Wang is not bad. He who knows the current affairs is a hero!"

Next, Li Jiancheng asked several people one by one. In addition to the Liu family in Peixian County, as well as the Langya Wang family, Taiyuan Wang family, Hongnong Yang family, and Xingyang Zheng family, the representatives in the main hall were also honest.

After telling the chamber of commerce related to them, they could not withstand Li Jiancheng's sudden intimidation.

Why doesn’t the Xie family in Chenjun have a chamber of commerce?

It turns out that the ancestors of the Xie family were arrogant and thought that being a scholar was extremely valuable and that all other professions were "low-grade". This was in line with what the sages said, "Everything is of inferior quality, but studying is the only one that is high."

Therefore, in their view, doing business is extremely despicable, so they did not set up any chamber of commerce.

At this moment, the officials of the Xie family who were still complaining that their ancestors did not organize the Chamber of Commerce and made life difficult for the children of the family were praising their ancestors' wisdom in their hearts.

Fortunately, the Xie family does not have a chamber of commerce, otherwise they might be punished by Li Jiancheng today.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince, Liu Wangyuan is here to bring you."

After several families finished explaining the matter, the voices of the guards outside the hall also rang.

"Bring it in!"

Li Jiancheng replied softly to the outside. Although it was very soft, Li Jiancheng's voice rang in the ears of everyone in the hall.

The hand exposed by Li Jiancheng made all the ministers tremble with fear!
