Traitors of the Manchu dynasty, why do you make me an emperor through the ages Chapter 161 Yan Song: It's a big traitor with the surname He! Li Gan meets Qin Hui!
Chapter 161 Yan Song: It's a big traitor with the surname He! Li Gan meets Qin Hui!
Led by Chen Xiucai, a group of people rushed back to the county government office from Liujiacun.
It was already around three or four o'clock in the morning, which is the time of day when people are laziest.
But everyone bought paper and pen on the spot, and asked Chen Xiucai to write a petition and submit it to the county government office.
People thought that if the petition was submitted today, the case would not be heard until tomorrow at least.
Unexpectedly, before they could get far, a clerk from the county government ran out and stopped everyone: "Stop!"
"The county magistrate wants to hear your case! Come back!"
Chen Xiucai and the common people looked at each other, how could they be so fast? So efficient?
Is this still a government office?
"We don't want him to interrogate us, we want to interrogate them strictly!"
Perhaps knowing that Yan Song was here, the people were a little more bold. Someone in the crowd shouted, and other people also followed suit: "That's right! The county magistrate is partial! We don't believe him!"
"That's right, let Prime Minister Yan come, we only believe in Prime Minister Yan..."
The noise at the door was so loud that it reached the main hall of the county government office.
Hu Zongxian, who was sitting in the front seat, smiled and looked at Yan Song who was looking down: "Prime Minister Yan, please listen, justice is in the heart of the people!"
Although there was a faint smile on Yan Song's lips, he still straightened his face and reprimanded Hu Zongxian: "You must also maintain your integrity!"
"Listen to what the people think of you, and don't let them down in the future!"
"Yes! Prime Minister Yan!"
Hu Zongxian immediately looked solemn and reflected: "I will keep this in my heart!"
Zheng Chen was also sitting below, with a strong gray beard standing straight on his chin. He waved his hand when he heard this: "Prime Minister Yan, there is no need to criticize Xiao Hu County so harshly. Being a county magistrate on a three-thirds of an acre of land in Yuanwu is actually not a good thing."
Not easy."
"Zhixian Xiaohu is a person who can do practical things. Yuanwu County is lucky to have him!"
Hu Zongxian was greatly surprised and hurriedly said to Zheng Chen: "Thanks to Mr. Zheng for his understanding of justice and support, otherwise I would have achieved nothing..."
While several people were being polite to each other, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
Zheng Chen smiled and said: "President Hu County, Prime Minister Yan, you are interrogating here, I will go to the back to rest for a while."
Since he is not an official, he is naturally inappropriate here.
After Zheng Chen left, the clerk in soap clothes led Chen Xiucai and a group of common people in from outside the hall.
Chen Xiucai was very nervous. He didn't even see anyone clearly when he came in, so he bowed down.
"Student Chen Cai, pay homage to Prime Minister Yan and his parents."
The people who followed him also knelt down to pay homage to Yan Song and Hu Zongxian.
When they were outside, they heard from the clerk that this time Prime Minister Yan and the county magistrate were trying the case together, and they would definitely not be wronged.
"Get up, everyone, just get up and answer."
With a gentle smile on his face, Hu Zongxian hurriedly asked everyone to stand up, without any clue that he had just heard the complaints from the people.
After asking everyone to stand up, Hu Zongxian smiled and said to Chen Xiucai: "Xiao Chen Xiucai, our country treats scholars favorably. Why do you need to pay such a courtesy when you meet me?"
Chen Cai secretly slandered, thinking, is it you I am kneeling to? It is Prime Minister Yan!
However, he still bowed and said: "My parents have been very kind to me, and Prime Minister Yan is an honest and upright official. They all deserve the respect of my students!"
He raised his head and met Yan Song's gentle eyes with a smile, and felt his heart melt...
"Prime Minister Yan, you must make the decision for us!"
Facing this kind elder, Chen Cai almost shed tears and cried aggrievedly: "Liu Yuanwai bought the 80 acres of land in the student's home for four cents an acre. What is the difference between this and land grabbing?"
!”
The people below also cried and shouted about their tragic experiences.
Yan Song listened for a moment and then stood up from his seat.
Seeing this, Hu Zongxian picked up the gavel on the table and banged it: "Everyone be silent!"
The people gradually became quiet, but pairs of eyes, either bright or cloudy, looked at Yan Song expectantly.
Yan Song shook his head and sighed softly: "Fellow folks, the imperial court would like to apologize to you for this matter."
Chen Cai subconsciously held his breath. He didn't expect that a big man like Yan Xiang would apologize to ordinary people!
With a hint of helplessness on his face, Yan Song said: "This matter should have waited until today to issue a notice to let everyone know about the damming and siltation. In this way, no one will sell the land."
The common people nodded one after another. If they had known about this earlier, they would have refused to sell their land even to death.
Yan Song continued: "Hu Zhixian has been keeping this matter secret for a long time. He just wanted to wait until today to let everyone know about it."
"Unexpectedly, there are cunning officials in the county government who collude with others and provide information to some people so that they can buy your land and make huge profits!"
Hu Zongxian also stood up from behind the table in cooperation and bowed to the people below: "Fellow folks, I, Hu Zongxian, can't help you!"
There was guilt on his face, and he blamed himself: "I am guilty. I failed to protect such important information, and was snooped by villains. That's why you are experiencing what you are experiencing today."
Chen Cai and all the people were shocked again. They did not expect that the dignified county magistrate would actually apologize to them.
"Old parents..."
Chen Cai's lips were a little dry, and he was stunned for a moment before saying: "This is not my fault at all, it's all the bad things done by the petty officials! The officials are as clean as water, and the officials are as cunning as oil! My parents were also deceived by them!"
Human nature is like this. Under such circumstances, the wronged people easily forgiven the powerful Hu Zongxian who apologized to them, and instead gritted their teeth and pointed the finger at the minor officials in the county government and Liu Yuanwai.
Everyone here cursed.
Yan Song only used a few words to incite the people into what he wanted, and then said: "You can rest assured today, Magistrate Hu will definitely pronounce the verdict impartially and give you justice!
"
"good."
Hu Zongxian is also upright, with a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows that are particularly majestic: "If you can't trust me, how can you not trust the strict prime minister??"
“Trust it!”
Chen Cai took the lead and shouted: "If you can't even trust an upright official like Yan Xiang, then there really will be no trustworthy officials in this court!"
The people also kept echoing: "Prime Minister Yan has been in our Yuanwu County for so long, don't we still know Prime Minister Yan?"
"Prime Minister Yan is the most upright official in the world..."
The people were excited and praised Yan Song's reputation.
Yan Song nodded slightly, with a bit of a smile in his eyes, and walked to the chair on the side, but suddenly tripped under his feet and almost fell on the chair.
Hu Zongxian did not notice this scene. He said to Chen Cai below: "I already know your grievances!"
He dipped his hands in green ink and wrote a ticket on the spot. He said to the fast class yamen officer in the hall with a stern voice: "Go to Liujiacun and arrest the cripple Liu and Liu Shentang together!"
Although they were almost at the lower yamen, the yamen officials naturally did not dare to say anything at this time, otherwise it would be very bad if they were regarded by the angry people as "treacherous little officials who colluded with both internal and external parties".
Alas~ I have to work overtime again today...
A group of people were waiting here, and the amiable Huzhi County official sent these aggrieved villagers benches, tea, and snacks for them to rest.
This surprised many people who were originally intimidated by places like the county government. It turns out that they can get such good treatment if they come to complain?
You may have to try it later!
But those idiots who dared to try this later experienced the iron fist and iron rod of the official...
When the sky outside the hall became slightly dark, there was a burst of noise outside.
"Why are you arresting me! I haven't violated the king's law? Is there any justice..."
Everyone in the hall looked out and saw that the government officials were escorting a fat man of short stature, wearing green brocade clothes and a black melon hat, walking towards them.
The fat man was howling and protesting loudly against the brutality of the government officials.
The yamen servant at the back was pulling a lame man with a chain. The reason why Cripple Liu lowered his head and didn't scream like Yuan Liu was because there were still a few big red slap marks on his face.
My mouth was swollen.
"Master, fortunately, I have fulfilled my duty and have brought the criminal Liu Laizi and Liu Testang to him!"
The head of the Kuaiban Yamen, also known as the head catcher, handed over his report. All the procedures today were extremely formal.
"Okay, let's go to the hall!" Hu Zongxian slapped the wooden door, and the officials pushed Liu Testang into the hall.
"Hu Zhixian, what are you going to do!"
Liu Shitang staggered back, raised his head and looked at Hu Zongxian, his superior, with a stern look: "I am a scholar! I am a good citizen! You can't treat scholars like this!"
Hu Zongxian sneered: "Liu Shitang, you have done many evil things in the past, and I am incompetent, so I can't do anything to you. But today, the stern prime minister is here, do you still want to continue to mess around?"
"I……"
Liu Shitang also saw Yan Song sitting on the side, and his aura was a little lower unconsciously, but he still held his neck and shouted: "Prime Minister Yan, you have to make decisions for the students!"
"Students have always been law-abiding. There was a flood in the countryside a while ago, and students even donated food for disaster relief... The students were wronged!"
Yan Song looked at the noisy fat man in front of him. For some reason, another little fat man appeared in his mind, and he felt a little more bored...
Chen Cai looked at Yan Song, still a little uneasy in his heart, and said hurriedly: "Prime Minister Yan, don't listen to him!"
"Liu Laizi bought our land at a low price. It must have been his instigation!"
"Don't you dare to spit on others!"
Liu Testang turned around and stared at him: "Young man, do you have any evidence? I will sue you for false accusations. Do you believe it or not?"
"You're already in court, how dare you be so arrogant?" Chen Cai didn't back him down at all and stared back!
Hu Zongxian had been paying attention to Yan Song's expression. Seeing his frown, he hurriedly said: "Liu Shitang! You cheated and bought the land from these folks. Now according to the imperial notice, I want you to pay back all the land you bought."
Give it to the folks, and the money you paid will not be taken back!"
The people over there cheered and jumped for joy. Unexpectedly, not only could they get the land back, but they could also make a lot of money for free.
"Why!"
Liu Shentang screamed subconsciously, and after he came to his senses, he hurriedly shouted: "Hu Zhixian, you can't judge like this! I bought that land with real money, are you going to let these unscrupulous people rob me for nothing?"
Can’t get enough money?”
"Why? Just based on the notice issued by this county!"
Hu Zongxian seemed to have resented this man for a long time, and said sternly: "The government will not accept land deeds signed after August 25th!"
"When the register is compiled in the future, the county will definitely not transfer those fields to you!"
Hu Zongxian was very confident. The news leaked out on August 27th and 28th. He was sure that Liu Shitang's land deed must have been purchased after that!
Liu Shitang was naturally unconvinced and said with a pinched neck: "Where did the imperial court come from such a rule? There is no precedent!"
"Besides, today is the first day of September, and you just posted the announcement on August 25th. I have no idea what the notice is about!"
"Those who don't know are not guilty! You are deliberately defrauding me of my money!"
Hu Zongxian had been waiting for him here for a long time. Hearing this, he sneered: "How brave you are! You dare to lie in court!"
Liu Shitang shrank his neck: "Zhixian Hu, every word of mine is true!"
Hu Zongxian continued to set a trap for him and said sternly: "You said you didn't know the content of the notice, then why did you buy that useless repellent field for nothing?"
Liu Testang had already noticed something was wrong, but naturally he couldn't take back what he just said.
He said bravely: "Of course it is to help the village!"
"There has just been a flood in the county. I think they can hardly survive, so the folks in the countryside naturally want to help them!"
"But who would have expected that instead of being ungrateful, these mud-legged people would come to this court to bite me back!"
Liu Shitang gave them a vicious look, then turned to Fang Fang and said, "President Hu, you have to teach them a lesson!"
Chen Cai glared at him, and other people were also very angry at this evil person's behavior of complaining.
"I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"
Hu Zongxian sneered and looked at Liu Shentang with a dead look in his eyes: "You keep saying that you don't know the content of the notice, it is to help the village."
"But why is this not the case as far as I know?"
With a wave of his hand, the government officials coaxed a man wearing prison uniform and covered with injuries into the hall. The tragic situation shocked everyone.
"Liu Sheitang, let's see who this is! Do you recognize him?"
"I……"
Liu Shitang looked at the man's bloody face and his eyelids trembled: "Hu Zhixian, what do you mean?"
Hu Zongxian sneered and said: "Liu Shitang, whether you know him or not, he knows you anyway."
"Liu Qian! Tell me everything you have done. Don't hide it!"
"My dear Lord, I say it, I say it all!"
The man named Liu Qian kowtowed in fear and told the whole story like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
At this point, everyone knew that Liu Qian was a scribe in the county government. When he went to the signing room a few days ago, he accidentally saw the notice he had just written.
Then he used this piece of news to exchange fifty taels of silver from Liu Yuanwai from the same village...
"Spewing at others! Spewing at others with bloody remarks!"
Liu Shitang glared at Liu Qian with an inward look: "You are from Liujia Village! You slander me like this, aren't you afraid that I will make you look good?"
Liu Qian shrank his neck subconsciously, then looked up at Hu Zongxian, trembling and not daring to speak.
Yan Song's brows wrinkled slightly, and Hu Zongxian was even more furious. He slapped the wooden door and said, "How dare you be so unruly! How dare you act so arrogantly in court!"
"Come here, bring the physical evidence!"
After he finished speaking, a servant in soap clothes walked out from the back of the hall, holding a plate of five taels of large silver ingots in his hand.
"With all the witnesses and material evidence, can I still accuse you unjustly?" Hu Zongxian looked at Liu Shentang coldly.
"you……"
Liu Testang's face was gloomy. Facing Hu Zongxian's combination of punches, he had already noticed something was wrong.
So silky, so smooth!
It seemed that a big bag had been placed there for a long time, and he was the one who dug into it.
"Zhi County Hu, I am willing to return their land!"
Liu Testang secretly resented it, but now the situation had changed and it seemed that he really could no longer deny it.
Hu Zongxian sneered, do you think this is over?
If I don't punch you, the coward, today, you'll really think that this person from Yuanwu County has the surname Liu!
"Retreating the land is just one thing. How are you going to settle the account if you roar in court and deceive Prime Minister Yan and the county!"
"I……"
Liu Shitang's momentum faltered, and he whispered: "President Hu, please show mercy to others! Besides, I'm still a student, so you can't do anything to me..."
As he spoke, he turned to Yan Song and cried: "Mr. Yan, the student has lost his mind. The student has already realized his mistake!"
"The students are willing to donate three hundred taels of silver to help the imperial court build embankments!"
When Yan Song heard that there was money, he hesitated for a moment, but out of the corner of his eyes he saw the people in the hall who were looking at him eagerly, and his face suddenly straightened.
This Liu Testang must be running rampant in the countryside and is very unpopular. And because of a certain fat man, Yan Song doesn't have a good impression of all fat people...
"Rampaging the countryside, preying on the common people, interfering with the administration of justice in the county, deceiving parents and officials..."
Yan Song shook his head gently and counted Liu Shentang's crimes: "You are also a person who reads books from sages, why are you so indifferent to right from wrong?"
"Student..." Liu Shitang looked confused. Just as he was about to continue his defense, Yan Song said calmly: "Since all the books have been read in vain, then don't tarnish the way of the saint."
"Send him to this county to study politics and remove his honors!"
"student……"
Liu Shitang's fat face suddenly turned pale, his lips were trembling, and he screamed: "Prime Minister Yan! The students have been wronged..."
"Shut up! You have no right to call yourself a student anymore!" Hu Zongxian shouted.
As the saying goes: The magistrate who ruins his family is the county governor who destroys his family.
From this jingle, we can know that the parents and officials of a place have the power of life and death over the common people under their rule.
Besides his relatives, Liu Testang's biggest reliance was his status as a scholar.
Now that the scholar's reputation has been dismissed, Hu Zongxian can round him up and flatten him at will. This is what he fears the most.
When he thought of the stumbling block he had given to Hu Zongxian's envoy and the rift between the two, Liu Xuetang was heartbroken that he would be killed in court.
The people on the other side immediately cheered and shouted for Lord Qingtian. The sound was like thunder, and it even reached the streets outside the county government office!
Yan Song had a slight smile on his face and pressed his hands down: "It's not the truth. This is His Majesty's decision. The truth is that he is just doing things according to the rules."
When the people heard this, they all recognized it and said that His Majesty is naturally wise. He is wise and has sent such a good official as Prime Minister Yan to our Yuanwu County...
Liu Testang's case quickly spread throughout Yuanwu County, and has a tendency to continue to spread to surrounding counties.
After seeing what happened to him, the big investors who had secretly bought land were frightened.
On the one hand, he quickly contacted his backers in the court, on the other hand, he quietly returned part of the land he bought, watching the attitudes of Yan Song and Hu Zongxian and the development of the situation, and living in anxiety...
The next day, the original Wu County Yamen Hall.
Hu Zongxian had already dealt with some matters and came back to report to Yan Song.
"Prime Minister Yan, the people have taken back the purchased land and have now returned home."
"Well, okay." Yan Song sipped the tea in the cup with an expressionless face.
In fact, he still feels sorry for the three hundred taels of silver, but in some aspects, only by giving up can you gain...
"Strict Prime Minister."
Hu Zongxian said with a smile: "All our fellow villagers in Yuanwu County know about this, and there is also an old scholar in the theater troupe who heard about Yan Xiangduan's mysterious case."
"He wrote a special play called "Prime Minister Yan Wisdom Gets Rid of Corrupt Officials" and gave it to his subordinates to ask Prime Minister Yan to take a look."
"If there is nothing that needs to be changed, their troupe will start rehearsing right now, and they will try to sing it back and forth in our counties in a few days."
Yan Song frowned. If he wanted to get rid of an official, would he need to get rid of him wisely?
Just hearing the name seems very unreliable.
But for the case that was settled last night, even if the old scholar was full of ideas and well-informed, he would not have been able to write the script so quickly. This should still be Hu Zongxian's intention.
Since it is the idea of this beloved general, it doesn’t hurt to take a look...
Yan Song took a stack of playbooks brought by Hu Zongxian and began to look through them.
As I watched it, I became fascinated.
Hu Zongxian sat aside with a slight smile on his lips.
The script of the play has undergone a lot of artistic processing of yesterday's trial, portraying Liu Testang's real character as a bully landlord in the fish and meat village. The public resentment is boiling. However, he has high officials in the capital as his backers, so everyone can only let him do evil.
.
He also downplayed his role as Hu County Magistrate, and made him into a loyal and loyal magistrate, but with mediocre abilities, he could only let Liu Testang do evil.
In addition, it greatly intensified the subdivision of Yan Xiang, and processed his image into a wise and courageous, upright and upright official... No, it cannot be called processing, it can only be called his true character.
The old scholar's writing style was pretty good, and the plot he wrote was ups and downs and exciting.
The scene from the beginning describes how overbearing Liu Testang is, how much he is hated by others, how many people have been ruined by him, and even the county magistrate can only look up to him.
Later, Prime Minister Yan, who was both wise and courageous, came here as an imperial envoy. Some people came up to complain. Prime Minister Yan discovered this and began to investigate Liu Shitang.
From Liu Testang's body, a series of conspiracies and conspiracies were involved, with many hidden clues, pointing directly at another powerful corrupt official in the capital.
Although there were many obstacles in the court, hundreds of officials opposed it.
However, the Prime Minister still worked hard to eliminate harm for the people. After many efforts, he got rid of the bully Liu Testang and uprooted the corrupt official in the capital...
Yan Song watched the whole story in one breath without even drinking a sip of water. After reading it, he was still a little bit unsatisfied.
"Alright!"
Yan Song smiled and slapped the playbook on the table: "But there is still room for improvement."
Hu Zongxian's eyes lit up: "Please give me your advice, Prime Minister Yan. Your subordinates are listening attentively, and I will tell that scholar to improve!"
"Um."
Yan Song nodded and began to make some minor changes to the plot: "Liu Shitang relies on an official named He. This person is not always in the palace, but comes out with Prime Minister Yan to provide disaster relief."
"During the disaster relief, the minister surnamed He went against Prime Minister Yan at every turn in order to protect Liu Testang."
"Moreover, this thief has lost his conscience, embezzled disaster relief grain funds, annexed land, raised grain prices, harmed the people, bullied men and women, robbed men and women, levied and extorted money, colluded with the enemy, formed a party for personal gain, sought to usurp the throne, framed the loyal, deceived the emperor, and harmed the country and the people.
…”
Yan Song spoke in one breath for half a quarter of an hour, without any emphasis. Hu Zongxian nodded in agreement at first, but in the end he was dumbfounded and found that he could not remember the test points proposed by Yan Song at all.
Gudong~
Yan Song said he was tired, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and glanced at Hu Zongxian: "Ruzhen, have you remembered everything I just said?"
"Prime Minister Yan..." Hu Zongxian smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond.
"It doesn't matter."
Yan Song waved his hand: "I will write to you later."
"Also, this person with the surname He is short in stature, has a round belly, is very fat, has a sinister eyebrow, has a small spirit, and is very stingy. This must be noted down."
"When it comes time to sing in an opera, you should also find someone who looks similar to you."
Hu Zongxian was speechless. Why don't you just name Mr. He?
He hurriedly agreed with a smile, but then hesitantly said: "Prime Minister Yan, I have an irresponsible suspicion. I don't know whether to say it or not?"
Yan Song frowned: "Ruzhen, there is no need to have so many worries between you and me."
"Thank you, Prime Minister Yan!"
Hu Zongxian immediately bowed and said tentatively: "If the script is really written like this, will our play... be unable to be sung in Nan'an?"
"In this case, will the people of Nan'an still know Prime Minister Yan's true name?"
Yan Song was startled, it seemed to be the same reason.
With He Shen's small spirit, even the slightest attempt to make a fool of himself would be blocked by him in every possible way.
But what if he could hear that he was actually insinuating on him?
"How about... or be more tactful?"
Yan Song frowned: "This corrupt official doesn't want to be named He anymore?"
"Strict Prime Minister is wise!"
Hu Zongxian just handed over his hand and said: "I will be sent to the official position only according to the orders of the strict prime minister."
"Um……"
Yan Song pondered for a moment and then said: "Let this person change his surname to Wang and call him Wang Shen."
Hu Zongxian almost fainted and separated He Shen from Shen. Isn't that Wang Shen?
How could you be so euphemistic?
Yan Song thought it was good, nodded and said: "In the end, Prime Minister Yan only punished Liu Shentang, but he did not bring down the big backer behind him, Wang Shen."
"How can an upright official with clean sleeves defeat a treacherous minister who has a large number of people and powerful party members?"
"After that, this traitor is still causing harm to the country and harming the people. How about this?"
Hu Zongxian could only nod, ah, yes, yes.
Yan Song smiled and said: "In this case, the people watching the theater will definitely become more resentful towards Wang Shen."
"Okay, let's go and change the script!"
"Yes, Prime Minister Yan." Hu Zongxian left with full of helplessness.
Now that you have decided to join Prime Minister Yan's camp, you can no longer be on both ends of the spectrum.
Although I have no choice but to offend Mr. He, it seems that this is the only way...
The conscientious little fat man didn't know that a huge conspiracy was unfolding around him, and he was still in a state of panic at this moment.
The reason is naturally also Yan Song's operation.
The South Bank was still making more thorough preparations, but the news of damming and siltation on the North Bank spread to the South Bank, catching them off guard.
The big business owners who had just received the news rushed to buy fields before the news was exhausted. He Shen urgently ordered the local government offices to post notices quickly!
The big business owners who got the news were naturally unwilling and ran to the Yamen to protest.
Jiyang County, County Yahoutang.
All the squires came to see the imperial envoy and the Lord and tried to persuade them.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has never been a case where we were not allowed to buy land!"
"Yes, Sir, the court has nothing to do with us ordinary people buying land, right?"
"We have already spent all the money and goods on the land we bought before, and now we are told that it does not count. What should we do?"
"Let's make a fortune together! Sir, once the business of this land is completed, it won't be a matter of huge profits..."
There were various opinions, but they all wanted to persuade He Shen to quickly lift this restriction.
He Shen always kept a smile on his face towards these squires. No matter what they said, he always had a fixed template answer: "This is a decision made by His Majesty himself, and I have no right to change it."
"Prime Minister Yan also listened to His Majesty's instructions. This matter is the same on the south bank and the north bank. Why don't you go to the north bank and give it a try. If you can convince Prime Minister Yan, I may let you buy land!"
No matter what the big guys say, he always says this.
The big households were helpless. Someone asked with a grimace: "Sir, if we don't allow the purchase of land, how long will the ban last?"
"You can't be unable to buy it for the rest of your life, right?"
He Shen subconsciously replied: "This is your Majesty himself..."
Halfway through, I realized something was wrong and hurriedly changed my words: "Of course not."
"You can buy it after the official registration is completed."
"With my lord..."
When all the big businessmen heard what he said, they were delighted and decided to continue to pester him.
But Heshen clapped the back of his hands helplessly and said, "Everyone, please come back!"
"You can't let me resist the order, right? That's a serious crime of beheading!"
After hearing this, the wealthy people all stopped chanting curses. Yes, you can't force others to seek death, right?
He Shen was afraid that they would lose hope and do something that would harm others and not benefit themselves, so he smiled and said: "But if His Majesty relents, this land can be bought."
"Haha, are you joking with the adults?"
"We are just ordinary people, how can we make His Majesty the Emperor change his mind?"
"Alas~ Mr. He thinks too highly of us..."
The big players left laughing, but only they themselves know whether they have any ideas...
A few days later, Daqian Imperial City, Ziwei Hall.
Li Qian was working diligently in the political hall, approving memorials with two secretaries, when the old eunuch suddenly walked in from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin wants to see you."
"Prime Minister Qin?"
Li Qian put down his pen and rubbed his wrist: "Invite him in!"
Wu Meiniang and Lu Pheasant left, and the old eunuch also went out to lead the way.
After a while, Qin Hui, dressed in a scarlet robe, walked slowly in from outside the hall.
"Prime Minister Qin, long time no see! Please give me a seat." Li Gan greeted with a smile.
There were court meetings every three days and memorials were discussed every three days. Qin Hui didn't know how long a long time meant to His Majesty the Emperor.
But he still followed the words and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, I miss Your Majesty very much."
"Is there something wrong with Prime Minister Qin entering the palace today? Is there something wrong with the memorial again?"
Qin Hui hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, today is not a matter of memorial. I am here for a suspicious case in Yuanwu County, Xingyang County."
"Suspicious case?"
Li Qian's face showed no signs of change, but there was a hint of doubt in his heart.
Could it be that... this guy is the lobbyist hired by the big businessmen in Xingyang?
