Taiyuan City East Street, Jinwang Mansion.
King Jin was the son of Emperor Ming Taizu, and he founded the vassal state in Taiyuan Mansion, Shanxi. After nearly ten generations of inheritance, this generation of Jin Wang is Jin Wang Zhu Qiugui. (Of course, in the original history, after Li Zicheng captured Shanxi, this majestic King of Jin was taken prisoner and then taken into the capital to ask for crimes).
As the seat of the vassal kingdom, the son of the dragon and the grandson of the king, the palace of the king of Jin is very magnificent... This well-regulated palace of the king of Jin is modeled on the capital, with four gates from the north to the south. Huamen, Houzaimen in the north and Duanlimen in the south.
The palace is surrounded by tall walls made of blue bricks to isolate it from the outside world, so the people in Taiyuan City commonly call it the "Imperial City".
At this time, King Jin, wearing a python dragon robe, had just finished his discussion from Yin'an Hall, and then had entered a side hall to rest, enjoying a group of beautiful women dancing.
But such a good mood was quickly interrupted!
I saw a person who looked like a shopkeeper hurriedly rushing in with a disheveled hair, and this person was the big shopkeeper Hu Youcai who was lucky enough to escape.
Then the big treasurer entered from the main entrance of the palace and immediately asked the guards of the palace to see King Jin. The big treasurer obviously belonged to King Jin's confidant, so he won the approval in a short while and could be seen.
But when the big shopkeeper saw King Jin who was enjoying singing and dancing, he was already in a good mood, and he immediately cried forward and said: "Master, the big thing is not good! That Yang Manzi shot (they gave it to Yang Shanlu) The nickname given to him), the top ten food shops have been copied! My family is no exception! Even if the old slave is not running fast, his head will be cut off by him!"
"What?" The king Jin was shocked when he heard it, and then he didn't want to appreciate the song and dance. After waving his hand to make them retreat, he hurriedly asked: "You quickly tell me what's going on?"
"Yes!" So the big shopkeeper hurriedly said it again, including all their grains and rice were confiscated, many big shopkeepers were also beheaded, and the guy was sent to the government... Anyway, the situation is horrible!
After the big shopkeeper finished speaking, he finally said: "Master, this Yang Manzi won't give us a way to survive! What should we do?"
"What to do?" The king Jin's face was full of rage... Thinking of his grandson, Longsun, now he was slapped like this by a courtier? Is it tolerable or unbearable! It's just that after this king Jin's face changed for a while, he finally sighed and said: "Hey, how many people are left in the grain shop, please take it back. This is the end of the matter."
"Ah!" The big shopkeeper was dumbfounded when he heard it, wouldn't he? Just admit defeat? If this is the case, let's not say that the manpower and material resources invested in the early stage have been in vain, and more importantly, this is a heavy blow to their prestige in the royal palace!
Want to know who they are? They are the dignified Jin Dynasty Mansion! Is a relative of the emperor! Taiyuan Mansion is their vassal state! But now? Just like this, a courtier rode up and slapped him in the face? And there is no response after the fight? Bear it forever
So this big shopkeeper couldn't bear this tone (of course he wanted revenge, he was almost killed after all), and then relied on being an old man in the palace, so he boldly said: "Master, this must not give way. Ah... Otherwise, what would others think of our palace?"
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Zhu Qiugui, who was furious, picked up a jade-carved fruit plate and slammed it on his forehead... With this, the big treasurer suddenly shed blood. !
"Get out! Get out of here! This king doesn't need you to teach me to do things!" Zhu Qiugui just roared.
Seeing Zhu Qiugui moved really angry, this big shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything. Although I felt that the prince’s performance today was very abnormal and very different from the past, he could only cover his bleeding forehead in embarrassment, very miserable. The ground retreated.
After the big shopkeeper left, Zhu Qiugui calmed down, but sighed lightly.
Then he took out a bright yellow middle decree from his side (the so-called middle decree, that is, the decree issued directly from the palace without a cabinet vote), which was just sent from Beijing a few days ago , Is the handwritten handwriting of the son today, and the writing on it is also very simple... It's just a sentence-keep yourself safe.
But it was this sentence that made the king Jin feel chill... There are rumors that although the Shanxi envoy is young, his hands and eyes are open to the sky, and now it seems that it is not fake! Even the emperor knew about this!
So even if the Jin wang usually loves money very much (as these Daming princes who are raised as pigs, this is their only hobby), but at this moment they have to forcibly converge! After all, if he really did it, the Shanxi envoy might not be able to deal with him, but the one in the capital would definitely be able to deal with him! After all, he didn't want to go to the clan mansion (that is, the institution that specializes in managing and disposing of royal affairs).
So after such a big turmoil broke out and the top ten grain shops were copied together, the head of the top ten grain shops, He Qiliang shop did not even dare to put a fart! It's just that although the dignified King Jin retracted in fright, some people kept going.
Another powerful place in Taiyuan City—Shanxi Guarding Central Officer Liu Yuanzhong, after hearing this report (that is, Shanxi Guarding Eunuch), was so angry that he dropped all his tea cups on the spot!
And compared with ordinary people, eunuchs like them, because of their physical disabilities, are more important to see yellow and white things! Moreover, as the guard eunuch in Shanxi, as the emperor's domestic slave to monitor hundreds of officials, he is very powerful! You can even sit on an equal footing with a senior official like the governor of Shanxi!
But now? He never expected that the newly appointed Shanxi envoy did not show him any face, and a grain shop under his name would be copied after saying that it was copied! Including the investment of tens of thousands of taels of silver, all of them were lost! How could this make him swallow this breath!
"Prepare the sedan chair! The miscellaneous family is going to meet the Shanxi envoy!" The guard eunuch said angrily.
At this time, Yang Shanlu was in the special envoy's mansion, commanding and dispatching, and after a while, personal guards came to report... Shanxi guard eunuch Liu Yuanzhong came to see him.
And Yang Shanlu smiled slightly when he heard it: "Hehe, is someone still unable to bear it anymore? Okay, then invite him in."
Then, after this eunuch Liu came in with two little eunuchs in blue, he saw Yang Shanlu not talking nonsense, but asked with a cold face: "Master Yang, you and me. Xiang Jingshui does not offend the river, but why did you send someone to copy my grain shop!"
"Oh, in that case, what advice do you have, father-in-law?" Yang Shanlu said lightly.
Well, seeing Yang Shanlu look like nothing happened, the Shanxi guard eunuch was even more angry, and said in the sharp voice unique to the eunuch: "I only ask you, can the grains and rice copied by you be returned? ?"
"Sorry—" Yang Shanlu's answer was still very simple, but he clearly expressed his attitude.
"What?" The big lady became even more angry after listening... You must know that he felt that this was a concession, after all, his grain shop was shut down! The subordinates were also slaughtered! Now he is not asking for compensation for the loss, only asking for the return of grain and rice. He is already very low-pitched, but what about now? This doesn't work either
So the great eunuch pointed to Yang Shanlu’s nose, and shouted sharply: “Don’t be arrogant if you are named Yang, you know that the godfather of the miscellaneous family is Prince Wang Chengen! The first celebrity in front of you! In the grain shop, there are also dry stocks of miscellaneous godfathers, so..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Yang Shanlu had interrupted him: "Don’t bother you! As for the princes, I have to tell them, so I have to copy and send them. customer!"
Okay, Yang Shanlu didn't bother to say anything to him, so he just picked up the teacup to see off the guests... What Shanxi guarding eunuchs, what princes and princes are all useless!
"You!" The overwhelming guarding eunuch in Taiyuan City is now so scorned that he has turned his face pale with anger... This just drove people straight away! Just because of his power to guard the eunuch in Shanxi, Yang Shanlu couldn't help but even moved out of the great Buddha Wang Chengen, Duke Wang Chengen, Yang Shanlu still didn't like him, so he really had nothing to do!
However, Liu Yuanzhong's ability to be sent here as a guard eunuch still has some advantages. He suddenly took a few deep breaths, controlled his emotions, and then smiled coldly at Yang Shanlu: "Haha, my envoy. I’ve learned about my miscellaneous family, but you don’t have to rush to see off the guests. The miscellaneous heard that after you arrived in Shanxi, there are a lot of means to rectify corrupt officials and rectify people’s livelihood! So today there is also a case in the miscellaneous family, I have to trouble you to try it!"
After speaking, Liu Yuanzhong brought two little eunuchs. One of them was to take a step forward. Then he took out a mouse that didn't know where it was hidden beforehand, and complained to Yang Shanlu: "This mouse bites the clothes, especially Let the lord be arrested for conviction!"
Okay, I have to say that this eunuch Liu Yuanzhong is still very insidious... The rat bites the clothes, how can this be convicted? This is what I deliberately want Yang Shanlu to look good!
Including the guards around Yang Shanlu, they all looked at Yang Shanlu nervously... Xindao, the eunuch is too bad, has he convicted the mouse? This is intentionally embarrassing adults! But if you don't answer well, you will lose your reputation as an adult!
According to normal circumstances, if Yang Shanlu can't answer, you can just push it... You can go to the director of the criminal and prosecutors for this matter, it is not under the control of the official, but if this is the case, it is also inferior! What a Yang Shanlu, he showed his incomparable acumen at this time!
He glanced at the rat that was babbling and snarling Liu Yuanzhong, before he thought about it and said: "This is very simple. This rat commits such crimes and will be severely punished! But the sentence will be severely punished. It would be too light to be sentenced to be hanged, and it would be too heavy to be hanged! So this official decided to sentence it to the palace!" (That is, the punishment for cutting off the chicken)
"Haha!" After listening to the surrounding guards, they all laughed... what is meant by self-inflicted humiliation? This is called self-inflicted shame.
And this one who was a little proud and wanted to watch Yang Shanlu make a fool of himself after listening... But he was so angry that he didn't faint, and he shot himself in the foot! And is there such a short-term exposure
But he also knew that even his carefully prepared hand did not work, and he would only be humiliated if he stayed, but even so, when he was about to leave, he still looked at Yang. Shanlu Yinyin smiled and said: "Very well, the envoy is really clever! It's just that the green hills do not change, the green water flows! Let's wait and see!"
"No!" After Yang Shanlu listened to it, he didn't have any fear... Wait and see? Then let's go and take a look! To be honest, since he stepped into the land of Shanxi, he has been ready to meet various challenges... He insists that the green hills do not relax, let the east and the west wind!
It’s just that Yang Shanlu didn’t expect this challenge to come very quickly... Just that night, a bloody chicken whose head was chopped off was thrown at the door of the special envoy’s mansion with a note attached to it... No matter how obsessed you are, this is your fate! (End of this chapter)
