Chapter 230: Vignette
Wang Shiren was killed bizarrely, everyone speculated that it was done by the martial arts heroes, although Chen Fang was difficult to agree, but there were more important things than a murder case at the moment, and he had to put down all kinds of doubts in his heart for the time being, and with Li Shimin here, he couldn't help but put it down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Mr. Chen, now that the Lord Wang has been subdued, let's put the focus of everything back on disaster relief. By the way, since the method of raising food was proposed by Mr. Lao, please ask Mr. Lao Fu to arrange one or two in person. After Li Shimin finished speaking, no matter how Chen Anxin complained, he got up and walked out of the yamen, and went back to the post station to visit the eldest grandson.
Watching Li Shimin, the shopkeeper leave, Chen Fang, who was reluctant to handle these social matters, wanted to cry without tears, but fortunately, Tang Yun saw that he was pitiful and offered to help, so that he would not collapse.
Entertainment has unspoken rules for entertainment, and generally entertainment will be arranged in the land of Fengyue, especially in this era when there are not too many entertainment projects and men are respected, Qinglou is the supreme holy place for entertainment.
However, this time, Chen Fang did not arrange the meeting with the grain merchant in the Qinglou, but set it in the yamen. First, it is more formal, second, it is to take care of Tang Yun's identity and preferences, and third, it is to avoid scandals such as the world saying that Li Shimin, the prince, still does not forget to visit the Qinglou in the disaster area.
The time was set for the evening.
In order to show sincerity, everyone on the government side, including Li Shimin, attended in full costume, and also prepared everything early, waiting for the arrival of several major grain merchants.
However, before the arrival of several major grain merchants, there was still a small episode in the yamen.
It is said that just as Li Shimin and Chen Fang were discussing how to collect and donate grain to several big grain merchants, the drum of grievances in front of the yamen sounded again.
Fearing that some of the victims had been wronged, Li Shimin immediately invited Chen Fang and Tang Yun to ascend to the court, but when the yacha brought the drummer to the court, Li Shimin was slightly disappointed.
It's just that the person who complained was not a disaster victim, but a wealthy outsider.
However, in front of the law, everyone is equal, and Li Shimin did not want to see that the other party was a rich man, so he turned people away, so he had to question him according to the rules of the promotion hall.
"Who is in the hall, what grievances do you have, and you must beat the drum to voice your grievances?" He asked.
The rich man arched his hand at him, and said with a crying face: "Your Highness, please be the master of the grass people!" ”
Li Shimin's face darkened half, and he seemed dissatisfied with the answer to the question outside the rich staff, but he still maintained the demeanor that a prince should have, and asked again: "What grievances do you have, and who do you want to sue?" And talk to this king, and this king will definitely deal with it according to the law. ”
"I, I...... I'm going to sue you! "I" outside the rich state for a long time, and then held back a shocking sentence, which was like thunder on a dry day in June, and the thunder roared, and the explosion made everyone in the hall scorched and tender.
"Who do you say you're going to sue?" Li Shimin suspected that he had misheard, so he asked again. Unexpectedly, this time the rich man didn't even stammer, and replied directly: "I'm going to sue you!" ”
Suddenly, Li Shimin's face was so black that it was no better than Wei Chigong's black charcoal face, he wanted to be angry, but he glanced at the people around him and found that everyone was staring at him strangely, and he was not angry anymore, for fear that everyone would think that he had really done something unseemly, and that people would now come to sue him.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin decided to continue the trial of the case, and he had to return his innocence no matter what.
"Well, since you want to sue this king, why do you want to sue this king?" He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked.
The rich man was not pretentious, and arched his hand and said: "Dare to ask His Highness if he has set up a banquet in the Yamen and is ready to collect food from the grain merchants in Guangliang?" ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "That's right, there is indeed such a thing, but what does this have to do with you suing me?" ”
"Of course it is!" The rich member suddenly put on a solemn look, and said slowly: "The grass people are suing His Highness for discriminating against the grass people!" ”
"I, I, I discriminated against you?" Li Shimin was confused, and said a little angrily: "How can I discriminate against you, say it quickly." ”
The rich man's mouth flattened, revealing an expression like a little daughter-in-law who had been bullied by her mother-in-law, and said: "Your Highness, you set up a banquet to raise food for the victims, which is a great thing, and the grass people dare not expect to be able to sit at the same table with His Highness, but Your Highness, I am also a citizen of our Tang Dynasty, it doesn't matter if you don't invite me, but you can't stop me from donating food to those poor victims......"
The rich member seemed to be sad outside, and tears poured out, but his words thundered everyone again.
I have heard of people being forced to donate, but no one has heard of people who run to the door and cry after being rejected for donation, which is also a strange news in the world.
Listening to what the rich staff said, Li Shimin finally learned the truth of the matter, but he, like everyone, felt that this donation was a bit strange, and couldn't help asking: "This outsider, you said that you want to donate food to the victims?" ”
"Of course?" The rich man's eyes rolled and he said loudly.
"And how much are you going to donate?" Li Shimin was curious and asked again.
The rich man snorted twice and said, "It's not much, anyway, in addition to leaving my family's rations for a period of time in the future, I donated all the food in my family's grain store, and I haven't calculated the specific amount, but at least two or three thousand catties." ”
Sending goose feathers thousands of miles is still affectionate, and now it is a difficult time for Li Shimin, and someone took the initiative to come to the door crying to donate thousands of catties of food for disaster relief, which made Li Shimin surprised.
"Who, who said they wouldn't accept your donation?" He shouted in a gaffe.
But the rich merchant seemed to be a little incredulous about him, looked him up and down, and said, "You really want to?" ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Yes, as much as you want." ”
The rich man flattened his mouth, shook his head again and again, and said: "I don't believe it, I heard people outside say that only those who were invited by His Highness to participate in the banquet are eligible to donate food, but I didn't receive an invitation, so I can't donate, and it is because of this that I came to sue His Highness, not because I haven't eaten the banquet, but because His Highness discriminates against me and doesn't let me donate ......"
Li Shimin finally understood the whole story, it turned out that this lovely and warm-hearted rich member listened to the rumors outside and misunderstood the real role of this banquet.
Food is the necessary material at this time, how could Li Shimin not want it?
