Chapter 261: I Know the Law and Abide by the Law (I)
Outside Tucheng, the temporary office after the transformation of the torture chamber of the original barbarian chieftain, or rather, the meeting room, Lu Ning saw Jia Lun's messenger.
It is a middle-aged scribe who looks quite decent, and when he saw Lu Ning as a fool and reported his name, he was called Fan Zan, from Wu Yue, who was originally a small official of Wu Yue, and went to the East China Sea to join Qi last year.
Lu Ning was stunned when he heard it, Wu Yue's little official, when he was called Fan Zan, this name was more special, he had seen it in books before and had an impression, could it be Fan Zhongyan's grandfather? Wu Yue officials, with the same name and surname, are mostly true.
The so-called Wu Yue Xiaoguan is naturally the humble words of this Fan Zanshi, but in fact, he is an official eunuch family, and he has a reputation as a prodigy since he was a child, but it seems that he is yearning for a new life, so he left home and went to the East China Sea.
However, there should be no way to repay, and in the end, I don't know how, I became Jalen's doorman.
Then I thought to myself, this Jalen now has a staff member, and he is also the ancestor of celebrities.
Opening Jia Lun's letter, Lu Ning's brows furrowed.
The letter said that Lu Qiongxian, a puppet servant in the former Han Dynasty, privately lends money and debts, and has a profit every year, and there are debtors who denounce it, and the official reads her woman's opinion, and returns to obedience and merit, and it is only a few months away, I wanted to punish a small punishment, but she fled with money, tortured her slaves in the house, only to know that she fled to Yongzhou to join the Wen General Hospital, it is rumored that she and the Wen General Yuan have an old relationship, but after all, she is a human prisoner, and asked the Wen General Court to inform her whereabouts.
The letter said that Lu Qiongxian was lending usury, and the annual interest rate reached 100 percent, which was obviously in violation of the Qi Law Public Money Order, which was actually the most primitive financial law, which regulated the operation of the public and money merchants to a certain extent.
When it comes to private lending, it stipulates that the maximum interest on loans is "one interest for three years", that is, the interest is turned over in three years at most, and the interest for one year is up to 33%.
Lu Qiongxian obviously violated Qi Law.
But, why does it feel a little wrong, a few days ago, Yin Lifang of Guangzhou Mansion also said that Lu Qiongxian was nowhere to be found, but he didn't say anything about her loan sharking, why just a few days, this Jia Lun sent someone, it seems, like his own person.
"I heard that the General Institute is good at dealing with barbarians, Jia Shaoyin also admires the General Academy, he often said that when he was by the side of the Holy Son of Heaven, he often heard the Holy Teachings, and the Holy Son of Heaven also liked talents with both civil and military skills the most, and the General Institute will fly in the future." Seeing Lu Ning's face, Fan Zanshi was beside him and said quietly.
Lu Ning said lightly: "Jia Shaoyin has seen the Son of Heaven? ”
Fan Zanshi smiled: "When the Holy Son of Heaven was the lord of the East China Sea, Jia Shaoyin was the national servant. ”
After looking at Fan Zan for a few moments, Lu Ning sighed in his heart, a famous master, but he has to do this kind of thing, what is the difference between him and those bullying house slaves and foxes and fake tigers, but the level is higher, and it makes you understand the stakes in silence.
I think again, these people in the East China Sea, Liu Han is often like this, and Jia Lun is also like this, they all use their old names to scare people, but this seems to be human feelings, and most ordinary people will be like this.
"I haven't met Lu Qiongxian." Lu Ning smiled, "I didn't know that she had caused such a big trouble, if she really came to see me, I would naturally inform Jia Shaoyin." ”
"So much the best!" Fan Zanshi breathed a sigh of relief, originally vaguely felt that this Wen General Academy was not a simple person, but he didn't want to, so interesting? I couldn't believe it for a while.
At this moment, outside the yatang, someone shouted excitedly: "Mr. Fan, I have found Fairy Lu!" ”
Naturally, it was the errand officer brought by Fan Zanshi, a fast horse just came from afar, and the horseman jumped off the horse, and what he said to the errand outside, Lu Ning heard it clearly, saying that it was Lu Qiongxian who was in Yongzhou, and Donghai Baixing had just opened an inn recently.
"General Wenyuan, it seems that Fairy Lu's affairs don't bother with the General Hospital! Xiao Ke said goodbye! Fan Zanshi smiled and arched his hand.
Lu Ning nodded slightly.
……
A row of brand-new houses, standing in the ruins, Yongzhou chaos, the city was seriously damaged, now is being rebuilt, the East China Sea Baixing, obviously the efficiency is very high, there are still many ruined walls, the remains of blackened wooden houses, but it is a row of brand-new adobe houses have been built, hang the vertical golden signboard "Donghai Inn Yongzhou Xing", there should be dozens of houses, among them, there are a few separate small courtyards.
Of course, although Yongzhou is an important town in southern Xinjiang, and there are a lot of local products nearby, but after all, it is far less than the state capital with developed commerce and trade, and the inns opened by Donghai Baixing here will not be very luxurious, they are all adobe houses, which are clean and tidy.
At this time, in the courtyard of the small courtyard of No. B, Lu Ning is strolling, the courtyard area is not large, there are two main houses, and one wing room is east and west, but it is enough to take the family slaves to the rich and noble guests who are traveling or traveling, and there are a few green bamboos in the courtyard, which is very elegant.
The door of the main house suddenly opened, and the snow-white Hao wrist stretched out to bully the frost and snow, the owner of the Hao wrist, wearing a snow-white skirt, with a beautiful appearance and a light body, really like a fairy, it was Lu Qiongxian.
"How did you get into the yard, it scared me to death!" Lu Qiongxian's heart was indeed still pounding, and suddenly there was a figure in the courtyard, where was she not afraid of hiding in the east like a frightened bird? When she saw Lu Ning, she was happy again, and she was busy coming out to meet.
Lu Ning smiled, "Everyone outside said that you were looking for me and wanted to take refuge with me, but you were good, swaggering to live in the inn and hide in the city?" ”
Nowadays, Yongzhou, a hundred wastes to be revived, coupled with a lot of Yongzhou people, is implementing the new policy, has not been able to effectively establish a village system, when the inn checks in, the requirements for road reference vouchers are not so strict for the time being, this Lu Qiongxian, but also pretended to be a man to live in, but I don't know, the East China Sea Baixing is the most rule-abiding, women enter the store, registered as a male name, and reported to the government in the morning.
I think it is in Yongzhou City, and the officials also want to cling to Jia Lun, Fan Zanshi has also visited him earlier, and just according to the description, Lu Qiongxian's identity has just been roughly determined, so he sent someone to Fan Zanshi who arrived in Wancheng Town.
Speaking of road reference vouchers and so on, Lu Ning doesn't care about the free flow of population, but in reality, first of all, the free flow of the population is nothing, and secondly, if you want to have good public order, it is not so easy to hide in a foreign land, and the review of the floating population is inevitable.
Nowadays, according to the proportion, there are not many readers, not to mention that there is a special format and seal for the road citation, and the stubborn people want to forge it, even if they simply write some words, they still have to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone to coerce the reader, which is a big problem.
It was in Yongzhou that Lu Qiongxian was able to stay at the inn smoothly, but after all, he was still told the secret.
Listening to Lu Ning's words, Lu Qiongxian was stunned, and then said bitterly: "You know everything?" ”
Lu Ning shook his head: "Nothing else is clear, I know, Guangzhou Mansion Shaoyin, is looking for you, now, people are outside the inn." ”
Lu Qiongxian's pretty face immediately changed color, and she wanted to go back to the house.
Lu Ning coughed, "Don't think about it, you can't escape, but there is still some time, and the officials of Guangzhou Mansion can't come in for the time being, so tell me, what's going on?" In addition, I have some things I want to ask you about Ruan Shoujie. ”
The East China Sea Baixing is abiding by the rules, but it is not something that can make people enter the store casually and arrest people, this is Yongzhou City, and those who come to do errands must have Yongzhou errands, and outside, it is Fan Zanshi and several Guangzhou government officials, which are temporarily blocked.
It's just that these former Han Dynasty officers turned into messengers of this dynasty don't know the situation, not to mention going to Yongzhou Mansion to call people, but they are playing tricks there, so there is a lot of time.
Listening to Lu Ning's words, Lu Qiongxian said hatefully: "Jia Lun, design to frame me!" ”
