Tang Zong listened, and his cheeks twitched a few times.

These brocades are going to be shipped to Yangzhou for sale? You fucking want to transport it to Hangzhou for sale, you don't take the waterway and the dry road, and use a few ox carts to transport it, which will only arrive in the year of the monkey? Can you afford this artificial money? Besides, you stuffed a thousand charming beauties in a car, and they were all stuffy, could it be that your Hou Yushi is still a human trafficker?

Well, even if those two reasons are barely plausible. But you say that the price of Yangzhou brocade is higher than that of Lin'an brocade, is there any reason to say this? Could it be that the origin of the silk brocade. On the contrary, the price is higher than that of other places? I can't even bluff a ghost with these words!

"Tang Shaofu ......"

Hou Sizhi saw Tang Zong's hesitant expression, and the smile on his smile gradually condensed into a cold frost, and said coldly: "Brother Tang, don't you want to sell the face of your little brother?" ”

At this point, Hou Sizhi brought a ruffian aura again, as if he had returned to Lin'an City and become an arrogant and aggressive prank. Tang Zong couldn't help but shudder when he saw his viper-like cold eyes. Hesitantly said: "This ......, since it is consigned by a consignee, who is the shopkeeper, can he have a 'city registration'?" ”

When Hou Sizhi heard this, his face was full of frost and turned into a warm spring breeze, and he smiled: "Tang Shaofu, you can rest assured." Brother will definitely not embarrass his friends when he does things, is this city registered with the shopkeeper, and the younger brother will definitely send them to you Tang Shaofu with his own hands, how about it? ”

Hou Sizhi is a well-known cool official, with a strong aura, and he stood in front of him. Tang Zong was immediately three points shorter, and he didn't let himself be embarrassed by listening to him. As soon as the formalities were completed, Tang Zong gritted his teeth and wanted to push the boat down the river. Let the Hou family's convoy go out of the city. Just listen to the horse's hooves. From far to near, and then Xi Yuyu let out a long hiss, and a big man jumped off his horse, landed firmly on the ground, and shouted angrily: "Who smuggled a large amount of brocade out of the city? Xu Zifeng, step forward to answer! ”

The chief who had just hidden the chicken hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Humble Xu Zifeng." I've seen the captain of the prison gate. It was these cars that stole the brocade, and now they have been stolen, please dispose of them! ”

As soon as Tang Zong saw that an officer of the Jin Wuwei was coming. Immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said to Hou Sizhi: "Hou Yushi, it's not that Tang is unwilling to be accommodating, it's just that ...... You saw it too. The captain of the prison gate of Jin Wuwei had already seen everything. If he refuses, Tang ......"

Hou Sizhi raised his eyebrows, and a sinister aura suddenly welled up between his eyebrows, and he sneered disdainfully: "It's just a mere captain of the prison gate, why should Tang Shaofu worry." As long as you are in Lin'an, regardless of martial arts, regardless of the military and civilians, who is not subject to the supervision of my imperial history platform? I'm going to meet him! ”

Hou Sizhi flicked the sleeves of his robe. He greeted the burly officer with a big look and bowed his hand slightly. Said arrogantly: "This official Zuotai Yushi Hou Sizhi, I don't dare to ask for advice, this prison captain has a big name?" ”

"Oh? The people of the Goshidai? ”

The officer raised his eyebrows, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he hugged his fists and said, "A certain is Tiannuo, the captain of the Jinwu Guard, and I have seen Hou Yushi. ”

Hou Sizhi didn't take Tiannuo in his eyes, in terms of power, the two are worlds apart, if he sells his friendship today, it will be very beneficial to this prison captain, he doesn't believe that this person will give up this rare opportunity.

Hou Sizhi repeated what Fang had just said to Tang Zong, and said reservedly: "Tang Shaofu has already agreed, how about Captain Chu also make it convenient with this official?" Today's thing, the official has thanked the two of you for the wine in the 'Beauty Drunk', and everyone will have a lot of contacts in the future, and they are all friends! ”

Tiannuo smiled and said: "Hou Yushi's face, a certain is willing to give it!" ”

A smile appeared on Hou Sizhi's face, but Tiannuo's words changed, and he said: "However, the law of the country, a certain dare not offend; Military law, a certain dare not commit! Chu Mou served as the captain of the Lin'an Supervision Gate, investigated the nine gates, and did not dare to follow the smuggling, and now Hou Yushi's cars of brocade are suspected of hiding and smuggling, whether they are innocent, they dare not assert, or they are handed over to the division to check clearly. In this way, there is an explanation with Hou Yushi's reputation and Chu's responsibilities. ”

Hou Sizhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a needle-like light in his eyes, and he said, "Deliver a division?" Which yamen dares to come to trial me? ”

The seriousness of this matter is not unclear to Hou Sizhi, otherwise he would not be so careful.

If it is still the time when Yushitai covers the sky with one hand and is arrogant to the point of no return, not to mention storing a few carts of brocade, he is not afraid of even if he is domineering, but now it can't be done, there are people waiting in the court to grab his pigtails.

However, years of arrogance and dignity as a Shangguan made him unable to show a begging demeanor in front of Tiannuo, even if he was stubble, he hid it deeply, not letting Tiannuo see the weakness in his heart.

He stared at Tiannuo coldly, hoping that Tiannuo would give in like Tang Zong, but Tiannuo's gaze went over him and looked behind his shoulder.

Hou Sizhi was furious, he couldn't stand this contempt, but he immediately realized that Tiannuo didn't want to show disdain for him, but really looked at something.

Hou Sizhi Huo Ran turned around, and his face immediately changed.

Yao'er was riding on a red horse, standing next to an ox cart full of brocade, and there was a horse beside him, and the person sitting on the horse was vaguely the leader of the team who locked Wang Hongyi in the Taiwan prison that day.

Hou Sizhi's eyes shrank like the tip of a needle, at this time, he finally couldn't hide his fear, Yao'er looked like he happened to be out of the city and passed by here, but Hou Sizhi still didn't understand that he had fallen into Yao'er's trap, and it was impossible for him to be good at this matter.

Yao'er passed by Dingding Gate "very accidentally", "very accidentally" saw a few brocade ox carts parked on the side of the road, and "very accidentally" saw Tang Zong, so he stepped forward to talk a few words.

Today, the authority is far above Hou Sizhi, he is not as feared as Jun Xiachen, but everyone knows that among the three law divisions, Kou Qing Palace is the most powerful. In the Kouqing Palace, it is natural that this Kouqing Palace Director Shi Li is overwhelming, as long as Yao'er is willing, he can immediately be as majestic as a Jun Xiachen.

Therefore, Tang Zong didn't dare to hide anything, he explained what had happened, Yao'er immediately turned his face and said, "Then what is the car still doing here?" We are waiting to enforce the law for the country. How can officials protect each other and corrupt the discipline of the imperial court? A few days ago, the imperial court just issued an order reiterating the crime of accumulating brocade. Now there are people who knowingly commit crimes, Tang Shaofu, if you open the net, be careful that this legal net will be restored, and it will eventually fall on your head! ”

Tang Zong was sweating profusely, but he was the only one who was destined for his life, and the catkins flew in. There was a slight itch on his eyebrows, and he didn't dare to brush it. At this time, Tiannuo was already excited to catch up. shouted: "Yao'er, are you going out of the city?" ”

Yao'er turned his head and saw Tiannuo, and couldn't help but be stunned, he really didn't know that Tiannuo was on duty today. The danger of this battle with Yushitai can be known regardless of the danger. He did want to pull people into the water today. But that person is not his good brother, otherwise, why would he arrange for an errand to "break through" Hou Sizhi's secret, just ask Tiannuo to stay here, and these ox carts will not want to pass the test in confusion.

"Brother Tiannuo, are you on duty today?" Yao'er hurriedly pulled the saddle and dismounted, and greeted Tiannuo, but a pair of eyes fell on the face of Hou Sizhi, who was following over.

Hou Sizhi gritted his teeth and said: "Long history." Hello! ”

Yao'er smiled and said nonchalantly: "Hou Yushi." The little girl has always been very good, but it doesn't seem to be very good at the moment! ”

……

In the political affairs hall, Jiang Dexu sat on the top with a face full of anger.

The three Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry sat next to him, as if the three Qingdao Daojun on the case, with an unpredictable expression.

In front of the hall stood Yao'er, Tang Zong, Tiannuo and Hou Sizhi, who was as pale as earth.

Today, Jiang Dexu summoned the three Shangshu of the household military industry, and discussed the same thing: money!

He hoped that the household department would squeeze out a little more money, and the military department and the Ministry of Industry could save a little more money, at least to survive this military incident in the Western Regions. Now that spring has just begun, it is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, as long as it lasts until the autumn harvest, this year's autumn harvest will come up, and the financial tension can be alleviated.

But which yamen has its own difficulties, the three yamen each complained about their suffering, and they all tried to be beneficial to themselves, Jiang Dexu was in the middle of the reconciliation, and was busy with anxiety, Yao'er came, with Jin Wuwei and Lin'an Mansion's witnesses, and returned to Hou Sizhi of Yushitai, and asked Li Dazai to get along with him.

Jiang Dexu's face was ugly, it was not that he couldn't deal with Hou Sizhi, but once he did this, he pushed his forces to the foreground and directly confronted Yushitai.

According to his original plan, he wanted Yao'er to be a pawn, he promoted behind the scenes, and if he succeeded, he would dominate the court, and no one side could compete with it, what if it failed?

Yao'er is not stupid, Mrs. Mu is not stupid, Jiang Dexu can sacrifice even the three prime ministers of the political hall in order to eradicate the Yushitai, and once he needs to betray Mrs. Mu and Yao'er, he won't even blink his eyes.

Can you expect a politician to talk to you about righteousness and feelings? In his eyes, there are only advantages and disadvantages.

If Yao'er reports this matter step by step, there is no doubt that in the end, this messenger will still fall on him, and the crazy revenge of Yushitai will also be directly borne by him.

Jiang Dexu wanted to use Yao'er as a gunman, but unfortunately this gun had an independent will, and now Yao'er had countered him, and he had no second way to choose except to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and fight side by side with Yao'er!

Jiang Dexu's majestic and cold voice sounded loudly in the political hall: "At the beginning of the month, the imperial court just issued an order that the people are strictly forbidden to store brocade, and there will be no forgiveness for violators!" You, Hou Sizhi, have committed such a great crime......"

Jiang Dexu can't retreat, and he can't retreat, he is the spiritual leader of the civilian clique to fight against cool officials, and when the matter comes, there is no retreat. Moreover, the decree prohibiting the accumulation of brocade by the people was also made by him, which was an important means for him to ease the economy.

Brocade is a hard currency, and it is a commodity in itself, and the deflationary situation cannot be alleviated unless it is strictly regulated by law. In ancient times, there was no paper money in vogue, deflation was far more frequent than inflation, and the overall damage of deflation was more serious than inflation.

Therefore, Jiang Dexu knew that he was commanded by Yao'er, but he could only be led by Yao'er. The dignified prime minister was calculated by this little girl in the next generation, which made Jiang Dexu very annoyed, this anger couldn't be directed at Yao'er, so he could only vent his anger on Hou Sizhi.

"Hou Sizhi, as the imperial historian of the imperial history, you have violated the law by enforcing the law, and the crime is added to the first degree, and this time it falls into the hands of the prime minister, there is no reason to be lenient. Someone! Pull him down for me, and beat him to death with a rod outside the noon gate, thinking that a hundred officials are on alert! ”

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this, and Hubu Shangshu couldn't help but persuade: "Xiangye, Hou Sizhi is an official of the imperial court, although he has violated the law, he should be handed over to the department for punishment, and he will die only after the will of the saint, and now it is so ......"

Jiang Dexu was full of anger, and after listening to his advice, he couldn't help but say perversely: "The grace of the saint, do you dare to serve the country?" What this fang did, there is no redemption for a hundred deaths, and it should be executed at noon, especially in order to serve the police. Even if he reported to the saint first, Hou Sizhi could not escape death. As long as you are dedicated to planning for the country, but if you have an invitation, the saint will not rely on it, so what does it matter if you report it first and then report it?

Now that the national situation is in danger, it is urgent to relieve oneself and save oneself. Hou Sizhi is just a five-rank official in the Yushitai District, but he can be killed with a cane when I am an official below the fifth rank of Qi, and this official is the prime minister of the court, so can't he kill him with a cane? ”

Seeing that he was strong and strong, his words were perverse, and his heart was cold, he didn't dare to say anything more. Jiang Dexu slapped the bookcase and shouted: "The warrior in front of the hall, take Hou Sizhi down, and immediately escort him to death at noon!" ”

Hou Sizhi was stunned, such a domineering style, when Jun Xiachen was in the Yushitai, the Yushitai had; When the enemy god machine went to the local business trip, the enemy god machine had it; But he never thought that Jiang Dexu also had it in today's political hall.

It wasn't until two warriors stepped forward to clasp his arms that Hou Sizhi came to his senses and shouted in horror: "Jiang Dexu, you dare!" I, Hou Sizhi, am also an official of the imperial court, do you dare to cut first and then play and corrupt the national law? ”

Jiang Dexu waved his hand angrily and said, "Pull it out, kill with a cane!" ”

The warriors in front of the hall are just following orders, whether you are legal or not, pull people and leave, the warriors in this palace are all full of martial arts, sixty or seventy pounds of stone locks are thrown as if they are playing, Hou Sizhi was also a watermelon knife in Lin'an City back then, and now he was held by two samurai, and he didn't even have room to struggle.

Hou Sizhi shouted miserably: "I serve the imperial history and can kill officials below the fifth grade with a rod, that is determined by the law and discipline of the imperial court, what right does the prime minister of your political hall have to kill this official with a rod!" Jiang Dexu, you are arbitrary, covering the sky with one hand, you must not die well......" The scolding gradually faded away, and he was dragged out after all.

The three Shangshu were like sitting on pins and needles, quickly got up, and said to Jiang Dexu: "The people who are worried about the Xiangye are also in the world, and the lower officials only focus on their own yamen, and their eyes are short-sighted, so the lower officials will go back, according to the instructions of the Xiangye, open source and save resources, and be sure to ensure that my western expedition army has no worries, and the lower officials will leave!"
