Tai Chi Hall of the Imperial Palace.

The ministers are complete, and the two sides are divided according to the civil and military.

Li Er put down a notebook, looked at a young official in the civil official queue, and asked, "Yuan Shaoqing, are you going to impeach the son of Li Jingmo, a wealthy businessman in Chang'an?" ”

The young official hurriedly came out and bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, Wechen does want to impeach Li Jingmo's son Li Zexuan, Wechen According to the order of the Dongshi Municipal Bureau, this person has purchased chicken seedlings in Chang'an City in the past two days, which not only caused the price of chicken seedlings to skyrocket, but also more than doubled the price of eggs. This person disturbed the market and raised prices, and the minister implored His Majesty to punish him severely. ”

This person is Taifu Temple Shaoqing Yuan Wendao, Taifu Temple is one of the nine temples of the central affairs agency of the Tang Dynasty, the chief executive Taifu Qing is from the third grade of the ministry official, the second official Shaoqing from the fourth grade, the official is high, and the status is prominent.

Taifu Temple is in charge of the national financial and commodity decrees, and the officials and subordinates of the eight departments of the four cities of Kyoto, Pingzun, Left and Right Tibet, and Changping are in charge of their programs, and their duties are repaired. In addition to managing the country's treasury and goods, he directly led the four Kyoto Municipal Offices and the Pingzhuo Administration in terms of market management, provided macro guidance, and implemented specific regulation and control using the two methods of measurement and weighing.

The order of the city administration of Dongshi is only from the sixth rank official, of course, he is not qualified to go to court, so he can only report the abnormality of Dongshi in the past two days to Yuan Wendao.

Li Er said curiously: "This Li Zexuan is just a cloth cloth, why doesn't Taifu Temple directly ask people for their crimes?" ”

"Your Majesty, according to Weichen's observation, this Li Zexuan has a close relationship with the eldest son and the crown prince of Lu Guogong, and the ministers dare not be arbitrary, so they specially ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment."

Yuan Wendao originally wanted to arrest people directly, but later the Dongshi Municipal Bureau ordered to report to him the close relationship between Li Zexuan, Cheng Chumo, and Li Chengqian, and Yuan Wendao couldn't get the relationship between several people, so he simply reported it directly to Li Er.

When Li Er heard this, he glanced at Li Chengqian, who was standing at the bottom, with deep meaning, and at the same time, he was also a little dissatisfied with this Yuan Wendao in his heart, this person was in a high position, but he was afraid to wink, and he even had to treat others differently when he asked about the case, which was really unqualified.

Li Chengqian hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Er.

"Fart, full of nonsense, Li Zexuan still broke the law by spending his own money to buy things?"

Cheng Yanjin was furious when he heard this, and he was the first to jump out and angrily reprimand Yuan Wendao.

Yesterday, after Cheng Chumo went back, he repeated Li Zexuan's words of persuading them to raise chickens to Cheng Yanjin. Cheng Biting Jin heard this, thought about it carefully, and after pondering for a while, he waved his hand and said:

"In this case, our family also raises chickens, and tomorrow we will ask the housekeeper to buy 30,000 chicken seedlings and distribute them to the villagers, so that they can raise one or two hundred per household, and the conditions for raising chickens will be according to Li Zexuan's family."

Cheng Chumo was dumbfounded when he heard this, in his mind, his father could promise to raise seven or eight thousand, he never expected that his father was so courageous, and he would open his mouth to come to 30,000, Cheng Chumo said:

"Dad, aren't you afraid that the chickens won't be sold when the time comes, and you'll lose all your money?"

Cheng Yanjin patted Cheng Chumo's head and laughed:

"Ugly cow, your kid is still too tender, I haven't seen through it, and you don't want to think about it, is Li Zexuan's kid a master who is willing to suffer? Since he dares to raise 80,000 chickens, we are afraid of raising 30,000 chickens.

Haha, I Lao Cheng dares to conclude that there must be a big secret that no one knows here, but Li Zexuan is unwilling to say it, and our family will follow that kid to make a small fortune. ”

Cheng Biting Jin has a rough appearance, but in fact, his heart is as fine as a hair, and after a little thought, he can see the twists and turns in it, at this time he proudly pinched his beard, took two steps, and continued:

"Besides, you forgot who that kid's master was, that was an immortal figure in the Dao Sect, Li Zexuan's nonsensical move this time might be a heavenly opportunity leaked to him by the Spirit Void Dao Elder before his death. Alas, if it weren't for the fact that our family didn't have that kid who was rich, your father would have liked to buy 80,000 chicken seedlings, haha, this kid is a little interesting! ”

After listening to Cheng Biting Jin's analysis, Cheng Chumo couldn't help but admire his father, Jiang was still old and spicy.

In the court.

Yuan Wendao was tragically sprayed in the face by Cheng Biting Jin's spitting star, and was also buzzed by Cheng Biting Jin's big voice.

He wiped his face and said angrily: "Lu Guogong, how can you deliberately cover up because Li Zexuan and Ling Lang are friendly?" Li Zexuan raised prices and affected people's livelihood, the evidence is conclusive, does Lu Guogong want to bend the law for personal gain? ”

Cheng bit the gold and was extremely angry, according to what Yuan Wendao said, his family also bought a large number of chicken seedlings today, wouldn't it also be a violation of the law. Cheng Yanjin didn't bother to argue with him, so he directly hit Yuan Wendao on the bridge of the nose with an uppercut.

"I favor your mother, you villain is unreasonable, I'm not afraid to tell you, my old Cheng family, I'm going to buy tens of thousands of chicken seedlings in the East Market today, do you also want to cure my old Cheng's crimes?"

Yuan Wendao was just a weak scholar, how could he stand Cheng Jin's big fist, he was directly beaten away by this punch, and his nosebleed was sprayed all over his face, and he almost fainted, at this time he bowed to Li Er and cried bitterly:

"Your Majesty, Lu Guogong took care of Junyi in vain in the court, maliciously hurt people, and also intended to shield the suspect, and asked Your Majesty to punish the crime."

Cheng Biting Jin was furious, and wanted to come up and beat people again, Qin Qiong, who was standing next to him, hurriedly came over and grabbed him:

"Know the festival, no presumptuous above the court."

Qin Shubao's old injuries in the past two years have flare-up, and his legs and feet are not very good, Cheng Biting Jin didn't dare to break free, so he quieted down and looked at Li Er pitifully:

"Your Majesty, the old minister has just lost his honor in front of the king, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive the sin."

Li Er was amused by this unsparing goods:

"Cheng Zhijie, why didn't you think about asking me to forgive your sins when you beat people before? It is really unreasonable for the court to beat the minister. ”

Qin Shubao hurriedly bowed down and pleaded:

"Zhijie is just confused for a while, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

Niu Jinda, Wei Chigong and other generals in the army also pleaded for Cheng Yanjin.

Although Li Er had a very good relationship with veterans such as Cheng Biting Jin Qin Shubao in private, he couldn't chill the hearts of other ministers, he shook his head and said:

"Cheng Zhijie, a fine of three months, to see the after-effects!"

Yes, I used to spend so much money to buy chicken seedlings, but now that I have to tighten my belt, I will have to tighten my belt to live in the future. But Cheng Yanjin also knew that this punishment was very light.

Cheng Biting Jin bowed down and thanked him: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Li Er looked at Yuan Wendao again and asked, "Yuan Shaoqing, you said that Li Zexuan raised prices, so did he take advantage of this to make a profit?" ”

Yuan Wendao covered his nose and replied in a loud voice: "Back to Your Majesty, this Weichen has never found out." ”

Li Er groaned: "Since he didn't take the opportunity to make huge profits, it won't be considered disrupting the market, but he needs to explain why he wants to buy such a huge amount of chicken seedlings, come on!" ”

Outside the hall, a big Han general immediately walked briskly, bowed and saluted: "The last general!" ”

Li Er instructed: "You go to Yongle Fang quickly and bring Li Zexuan over!" ”

"Whoa!"

Although General Dahan didn't know Li Zexuan, he still bowed down and answered, and then hurriedly went out to lead people to look for Li Zexuan.
