Chu Qing bit his lower lip with his front teeth and looked at Tao Ruolin's smiling face. He wanted to ask if you were teasing your husband, but then he thought about it. He was always laughing no matter what he said, even if it was something serious.
You're laughing, but after all, it's not a joke.
"Do you have a way to get rid of the Li family?"
"Yes." Tao Ruolin lowered her head, broke off the delicate jade and pointed: "There is a way to make Li Wenli, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, throw away his official robe, there is a way to have the entire Li family beheaded, and there is a way to kill only the three sons of the Li family.
There are ways to exile the entire Li family to the frontier, there are ways to achieve immediate results, there are ways to do it gradually, there are ways to have the Li family confiscated in autumn, there are ways to have the entire Li family be ransacked and beheaded in winter, oh, just say
"How do you want the Li family to die? Just tell me the time, place, crime, and how many people will die."
"I..." Chu Qing's face was dull: "Then why didn't you say it before?"
"Before?"
"When Chen Yan was still there, why didn't you say it then?"
Tao Ruolin pointed to herself: "Am I a court official?"
Chu Qing shook his head.
Tao Ruolin: "I am a scholar?"
Chu Qing shook his head.
Tao Ruolin: "Did the Li family insult the Tao family?"
Chu Qing still shook his head.
Tao Ruolin asked, "Then why should I say that?"
"But..." Chu Qing didn't know what to say. You were all involved. Everyone was holding their breath to kill the Li family. But you had a way but didn't say anything. What's this?
"I'm kidding you." Tao Ruolin chuckled: "If I do it, the emperor will be angry. I'm afraid the emperor will think he is a fool."
Chu Qing: "..."
Looking around, Chu Qing said with fear on his face: "When we chat in the future, please stop chatting, okay?"
"I thought you were very brave. You often say such things."
"I'm big, I'm really big. The problem is..."
Chu Qing still didn't know what to say.
I didn't engage in any gossip with the emperor back then. Without this kind of friendship, I'd better stop talking nonsense and let others listen to it before making a report.
"Building a house is a trivial matter. Originally, the grains were all robbed...on credit, and the money was not spent very much. It is not a big deal to build a house. Please tell me how to get rid of the Li family first."
"I told you, what will you do if you don't repair the house?"
"Sister, I have a good reputation, go to Beijing and ask about it."
Tao Ruolin smiled so sweetly: "I won't go. I asked around. People say you extorted money and robbed food. I don't even want to tell you."
Chu Qing: "..."
Just when he was thinking about how to fool this girl, Changxian came running with Tong Gui, his two short legs flying very fast, and his face was full of anger.
"Master Chu, Master Chu!"
Changxian ran to Chu Qing and gasped: "Pebbles, there are so many pebbles. The student is extremely angry."
"What the hell are there so many pebbles?"
Changxian pointed at the refugees in the distance who were happily sharing porridge and drinking, and clenched his small fists: "The grain, no, it's flour. The flour is mixed with small stones and gravel. There are a lot of them. A bucket of flour, half of it is sand."
"What?" Chu Qing was furious: "Which granary is it from?"
"Lee."
"Robbing...no, the first one who gave credit to the Li family, the Li family?"
"Yes." Changxian said angrily: "Master Chu, let's go find him!"
Chu Qing was about to call Qi Xiaodi angrily when he suddenly realized something.
Logically speaking, we should protect our rights after the sale, but the problem is...he didn't spend any money.
Raising his eyebrows, Chu Qing began to make plans.
If in the future, you go out for a robbery and grab an iPhone, and when you come home and find it has dual SIM cards and dual standby and can flip the cover, then should you call the police, call the police, or... throw yourself into a trap?
"Master Chu, you have to help the refugees breathe out their bad breath."
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry, and looked at the refugees in the distance.
Let alone a bucket of noodles mixed with half stones, even if it is mixed with 90% stones, all the front teeth will be chipped and the refugees will not be able to say anything.
But every yard is worth its weight in gold. If you sell rice noodles with half of the stones mixed in, is there any law? Is this any different from selling a pound of lotus roots with half of them filled with holes? Isn’t this defrauding consumers?
"Report to the official!" Chu Qing rubbed Changxian's head: "Enter the city now, report to the official, and let Jingzhao Mansion handle it. There should be relevant Chang's Law penalties."
"good!"
Chu Qing looked at Tao Ruolin, who smiled and nodded: "I'm here."
"Okay, let's enter the city first."
Chu Qing was also very angry. Even if he raised the price of food, he also mixed it with stones. What the hell is this done by humans?
With Chang Xian and a guard, the group was preparing to enter the city to go to Jingzhao Mansion. Chu Qing also asked Fu San to bring a bag of flour as evidence.
Before leaving, Tao Ruolin actually took out a dagger from her little boots that looked cute but shone with a cold light that caught people's eyes. She pierced the flour bag with the dagger, poured out the flour inside, and then
Start loading stones inside.
Chu Qing was confused. The flour was already half covered with sand. If Tao Ruolin added some stones to it, would the Li family be selling flour or stones?
Tao Ruolin is a clever girl, although Bihua, who is not very clever but carries needle and thread with her, asked for the needle and thread, and re-sealed the flour in three strokes.
Chu Qing coughed lightly: "Um, Miss Tao, it's not very good for us to frame you in front of the second prince."
Changxian waved his fist: "Why don't we just pull a bag of rocks."
Chu Qing: "..."
Just like that, Chu Qing and his party entered the city, with bags of flour placed behind the carriage.
It was a coincidence that we went straight to Jingzhao Mansion. Ma Rui had just left the court. When Chu Qing and others arrived, Ma Rui had just stepped out of the sedan. He didn't know what had happened today. His face was red, but his eyes were a little red and swollen.
"Commander Chu?" As soon as Ma Rui saw Chu Qing, he hurriedly greeted him, his face full of expectation, and he spoke very quickly: "Are you reporting to the official, who is it, what is your name, what rank, what is the matter, no no
No, don’t talk about rank, talk about name, where is the residence, is there any evidence of guilt, if not, can Qianqiying be framed... Can you collect some, hurry up, tell me quickly, tell me quickly, it’s best to be a courtier, and a well-connected family is even better.”
Chu Qing's head was full of questions: "How did you know that I wanted to report to the police?"
Ma Rui clapped his hands together: "It's indeed the reporting officer. Well, it's good to come. God's will, God's will, hahahaha."
Chu Qing frowned, feeling that the other party's mind was a little abnormal.
Chu Qing turned his head and winked at Fu San.
Fu San: "Stab him?"
"Damn, you're a bitch."
"Going to Jingzhao Mansion to grab food?"
"I asked you to bring down the flour and show it to Master Ma."
"Oh, next time you just speak directly, you always wink, I can't understand it."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes and bowed his hands to Ma Rui: "Master Ma, I did come to report to the official. Yesterday I bought... um, yes, I bought grain, but I was cheated."
"Cheated?"
"Yes, there is some gravel and sand mixed into the flour."
Fu San threw the flour on the ground and cut it open with a knife.
Ma Rui knelt down, took a closer look, and became furious: "This is obviously a stone mixed with some flour. It's not as good as a pig or a dog. It's not as good as a pig or a dog. Deal with him!"
Chu Qing smiled and reminded: "Li Ji grain merchant."
Ma Rui was stunned when he heard this: "Li from the Li family?"
Chu Qing nodded: "Yes."
Ma Rui's pupils shrank and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Chu Qing sighed: "Master Ma, are you...scared?"
"Great!" Ma Rui's face was full of excitement: "It's the damn Li family that did it!"
Chu Qing looked dull.
Dear Ma Rui, are you so powerful?
"What a shameless traitor to the country, a shameless worm in the court, a bastard who harmed the people and killed them thousands of times!" Ma Rui's eyes were bloodshot: "I have a place for you, this officer!"
It has to be said that if Huang Laosi really knew Ma Rui, he would never "hint" at the Council Hall today for Mr. Ma, who has been taking the blame all day long and looking at the harmlessness of humans and animals.
When a governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, who has been holding in his anger for more than ten years and no longer wants a black gauze hat, suddenly gets the emperor's permission to arrest people at will, the consequences are unimaginable.
