The businessmen want money, but Li Ran wants their lives!

"According to the laws of Datang, those who sign the contract are all in accordance with it, and if one party breaches the contract, it needs to be compensated in accordance with the contract."

Li Ran spread his hands and showed a wicked smile.

"So, it's not impossible for you to break the contract, compensate me according to the agreement."

The businessmen were angry and hateful, and wanted to deny it, but the black and white thing was so easy to excuse? Even if the dispute goes to Luoyang City, it doesn't make any sense.

“…… Well, we compensate! ”

Hunting geese all day long, but being pecked blind by geese, the businessmen admit it.

"Are you serious?"

Li Ran laughed when he heard this, and pointed to the compensation clause in the contract, "I'm afraid you can't afford to give the silver." ”

"Joke, how can we not afford to give silver! Isn't it just a penalty of one hundred taels of silver a day? ”

The businessmen scoffed, and the wealth was just a drizzle.

“…… Progressive double! ”

Li Ran pointed to the last four words, "One hundred taels on the first day, two hundred taels on the second day, four hundred taels on the third day, and eight hundred taels on the fourth day...... You do the math. ”

The businessmen were slightly stunned, of course they knew the meaning of these four words, and they also understood the horror of this algorithm, if it dragged on for half a month, doubling the silver could make people desperate.

But the problem is that on the first day, it was only one hundred taels, and the agreement was terminated if it was lost, so how could it be so troublesome in the follow-up, so I didn't think much about it at the beginning, and signed it easily.

Could it be that there is fraud?

"Look at the two sides of the contract, who are the two sides of the contract!"

Li Ran said that he is an expert at playing word games.

The businessmen were stunned again, and they found that the two sides of the contract were the businessmen and ...... Cheng Kee firm!

"If you want to breach the contract, you must get the consent of the big proprietor of the process company, and the default fee incurred during this period can be progressively doubled."

Li Ran smiled, the pit was dug beautifully, and it was definitely worth appreciating himself.

The merchants suddenly sweated like rain, and they knew where they were calculated...... Li Ran, as an intermediary, signed the contract on behalf of Cheng Ji Firm, and everyone took it for granted that he had the right to terminate the contract, but this kid turned his face and denied anyone, saying that he was just a part-time worker and did not have the right to terminate the contract.

However, let them go to the head of the Cheng Ji business, not to mention where this Cheng Bo is, even if they see someone, it is another prevarication, and the liquidated damages are absolutely astronomical.

"Stinky boy, you yin us!"

The businessmen completely tore their faces, they want to fulfill the contract, the law of the Tang Dynasty does not allow idle land, it is a business of cutting off the head, no one can keep it, and the liquidated damages are astronomical, and they are also bound by the law of the Tang Dynasty, and the way to enter and retreat is blocked, and there is no room for maneuver at all!

"Yes, I am Yin you, I want to control Chang'an, you are the biggest stumbling block, your interests in Chang'an are deep-rooted, and you can't be used by me, do you want to keep you for the New Year?"

Li Ran Zhenzhen had words, and seeing that the businessmen had the meaning of being rude, he smiled slightly at Pei Min, who drew his sword and came out, like a slash of the wind, and the top crown of the businessman led by him was instantly broken in half.

Everyone was scared together, this kind of martial arts is unheard of, how dare you do it again!

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, I'm the chief official of Taichang Temple, the official of the imperial court, and the crime of attacking the imperial officer, you know."

Li Ran shook the scene, laughed, and walked away.

Out of the Moon Tower, Pei Min suddenly asked, "Brother Ran, you all want to see the dagger, why don't you take advantage of today's opportunity to clean them all up?" Letting them go today is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. ”

"Yo, buddy, your vision of things has improved!"

Li Ran stretched out his thumb to praise, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I did it on purpose, there is only one way for the businessmen to break the situation, that is, to let the government give up the edict to urge farming, so that there is no need to rush to recall the tenant farmers back, and some time is wasted with me, so they will definitely use all their connections to put pressure on the government, then, my cheap aunt has taken so many benefits, what's wrong with helping us to be thugs?" ”

If you want to sit firmly in control of Chang'an, it is useless to rely on coercion alone, and the wicked will be done by Princess Taiping.

In fact, this is so fierce.

I was worried that I couldn't find anyone to do the surgery, so the good heads of the merchants were sent to the door.

Not only did she not agree to revoke the edict urging farming, but she set a more and more time limit, demanding that within three days, all land must be restarted, otherwise she would be cleaned up for the crime of negligence!

even did not hesitate to use the dragon pattern jade pendant given by Wu Zetian...... It is possible to directly sentence subordinate officials below the seventh rank.

The last time I used this thing was when I was packing up Junchen.

This time, Princess Taiping's killing intent was even stronger, and she forcibly mobilized troops to patrol the city instead of the yamen!

The subordinate officials of Chang'an City were instantly frightened, and they were afraid of Princess Taiping, and the merchants had no backers, and they were like lost dogs.

After three days, Princess Taiping directly arrested people, regardless of whether they pleaded for mercy or not, and directly arrested all the merchants in prison for violating the imperial edict, and then confiscated their family property.

During the whole process, Li Ran did not interfere, and let Princess Taiping frantically collect the wealth of the merchants, which was guaranteed to be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

He simply distributed the land left by the big merchants and landlords to the tenant farmers in the name of the government...... The biggest problem in Chang'an City in the past century, the serious phenomenon of land annexation, was solved by him.

Of course, the methods were brutal and the sequelae were huge, and Princess Taiping's popularity in Chang'an fell to the bottom in an instant.

What's more, Luoyang's envoy has arrived.

A group of dozens of people, led by Pei Donglai, the secretary of Dali Temple, this buddy has prosperous official luck, and he has achieved the number one position in Dali Temple at a young age, but unfortunately he is in a bad mood.

Chang'an City's various complaints flew to Luoyang like snowflakes, bluntly saying that Princess Taiping was perverse, Wu Zetian was very angry, and it happened that Zheng Zheng was miserable and asked to see Xiangrui, and bluntly said that the meteorite was wonderful, but the meteorite was broken on the spot...... After being corroded by strong acid, it is strange that it is bumpy all the way and does not break.

Xiangrui was damaged, a bad omen, this unlucky buddy was thrown directly into the prison, and the hard work of Liang Wang Wu Sansi was not immediately cut off his head, Wu Zetian urgently ordered Pei Dong to come to Chang'an, and summoned Princess Taiping and Li Ran back to Luoyang.

If it was just a word, it would be fine, but Wu Zetian also issued a secret order.

"Find out if there is such an incident in Chang'an, is Princess Taiping having the intention of rebellion!"

Could it be that the emperor wants to attack his own daughter?

Pei Donglai still remembered that when he was a saint that day, Wu Zetian's gloomy face was like frost in winter.

Accompany the king like a tiger, the wise saying.

In this incident, there is another person he least wants to deal with...... Li Ran!

The thought of the name gives me a sense of domination.

It's a pity that when he just approached the gate of Chang'an, he was greeted by Li Ran's harmless smiling face.

"Brother Donglai, long time no see."
