With his wife coming to Yanbei to accompany him, Su You finally slept soundly, but he knew that now was not the time to get drunk and lie on the knees of beautiful women, so he got up early in the morning to exercise as usual.

Seeing that Su You was refreshed, the faces of the subordinates naturally had more smiles.

When Su You and Lai Yanbei were having breakfast, they heard a report from outsiders that those big families and bosses who were not willing to listen to orders during the period of tribulation were guilty of asking for guilt.

"Guilty of pleading?" When Su You heard this, he couldn't help but laugh angrily. Also, there are many icing on the cake in this world, how can there be charcoal in the snow?

Su You made them wait for another meal, and then ordered them to be let in.

When Su You symbolically walked towards the entrance of the hall, he saw five or six businessmen coming over tremblingly, and there was no figure of Yuan Shangwu and Miao Haichao among them, so he asked with some doubts, "Everyone, you came to the cold house early in the morning, how can Su You be virtuous?" ”

Tang Quanzhou, the richest man in Yangzhou, immediately saluted Su You on behalf of everyone, "When I visited the envoy today, I really took the blame for it, how strange it is that we have no eyes and no beads, and I don't know how to make it possible."

"What about the Grand Prince Yuan? Who did they command you to come and ask for sin? Su You listened to Tang Quanzhou's words, of course, he would not believe his nonsense, so he asked with a little disdain.

"Speaking of Yuan Shangwu, we are here to report him, and we are all determined to fight against the envoy because of his obscenity." Tang Quanzhou immediately cried and said with a sad face.

Su You can be considered to have heard it now, not only did they come here not to listen to Yuan Shangwu's instructions, but to come secretly behind his back, no wonder there was no Miao Haichao among them.

However, what kind of obscenity can Yuan Shangwu have?

"Lewdness? Boss Tang is exaggerating, right? ”

"I don't know what the envoy knows, since I had lunch that day, we received a post from Yuan Shangwu and were summoned, and we are all born in Si and grew up in Yangzhou, and we are willing to Yangzhou in our hearts" Tang Quanzhou looked at Su You's face full of disdain, and could only throw out the set of rhetoric he had thought of.

Su You nodded, people in this era have a local concept that is difficult for future generations to understand, and what he is saying now is not abrupt, but, what is the point?

"Yuan Shangwu told us that he had a connection with pirates from the Ryukyus, and he threatened us that if we did not cooperate with him, we would lure the pirates to Yangzhou and destroy our hometown fathers." When Tang Quanzhou said this, he saw Su You's expressionless face, so he continued, "According to him, he attracted the Ryukyuan people to attack Hangzhou Bay a few years ago. ”

"Ryukyu pirates?" Su You frowned.

"We are the noble clan of Yangzhou City, and we have to think about the fathers and elders of the whole city, and we can't let tens of thousands of murderous Ryukyuan people fight us, so," Tang Quanzhou said this, paused, and continued with some embarrassment, "So, we compromised." ”

Su You had also guessed the forces that were connected with those Ryukyuan people before, and he had also suspected the Yuan family, but the truth of the facts was told by profiteers like Tang Quanzhou, how credible is it?

Well, anyway, in the grain war, Su You had already classified other people who did not participate in the ticket management committee as profiteers.

Five or six profiteers looked at Su You's general and was stunned in suspicion, so they knelt down together, "It is indeed our fault that we are against the envoy of Jingluo, but please ask the envoy of Jingluo to worry about the people of Yangzhou together with you, repay the grievances with virtue, and let us go." ”

"Repaying grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" Su You said what Confucius said in full, and sneered again, "Shouldn't you tell the plan of how to atone for your sins first, and then see my mood to be forgiven?" ”

After Su You said this, he immediately brushed his sleeves away, and these five or six profiteers stood in the courtyard, and they became overwhelmed for a while.

They originally came to ask for sin, but now they haven't entered Su You's yamen.

"What now?" The rest of the people looked at Tang Quanzhou together.

Tang Quanzhou shook his head helplessly, at this time, they were looking for a tall one in the short one, there were no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey was the overlord.

When Tang Quanzhou was not a tease soldier sent by Guanyin, he still couldn't bear it at the critical moment.

"Well, let's plead guilty and let him be punished! Kick the ball back to him, can he really kill us? Tang Quanzhou thought for a moment, but still said his thoughts categorically.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then agreed to his plan.

This is self-confidence, because these big families dominate all aspects of Yangzhou City; In a sense, they are Yangzhou City, and Yangzhou City is them. So they dare to bet with Su You at this moment, they believe that Su You can only protect them, and they can't fight them, this is the legendary spirit of a big country scoundrel.

Then they broke into Su You's yamen very scoundrelly, and sincerely told the latter that they were willing to accept any punishment.

Su You listened to their words, and finally showed a rare smile on his face, and gave them back their seats.

"The Great Sui Law clearly stipulates that those who bully and dominate the market and hoard Juqi should be given a hundred rods, three thousand miles, and confiscation of all property, are you willing to accept it?" Su You asked with a smile.

Tang Quanzhou and the others looked at each other, of course they knew that what Su You said was just angry words, but now they dared to nod except scolding Su You as a smiling tiger in their hearts?

Su You looked at them with embarrassment on his face, and he sighed, but still complained, "If you don't have the courage to bear the guilt, don't talk too much." ”

The crowd laughed wryly, but did not answer.

"Someone must bear the responsibility for the crime this time! This matter is known to the government and the public, and His Majesty is still waiting for me to reply" Su You made a straight face this time and faced everyone: "I'm also waiting for you to reply, how should this piece be played?" Why don't you give me a little bit of advice? ”

"It's just a rise in prices, a matter of businessmen, Your Majesty won't care, right?" Tang Quanzhou obviously had friends who were officials in the court, and he understood that the scholars who regarded themselves as high-ranking people looked down on businessmen, and the officials in the court obviously would not make a big deal out of this kind of affairs of the lower riba people.

What's more, Yuan Shangwu is the eldest son of Yuanshou, if there is anything about them in Yangzhou, won't Yuanshou, who is the inner history order, stay in the middle and not send it? This is also the reason why Yuan Shangwu was so frustrated in Yangzhou, and easily received the support of many prominent families in Yangzhou.

"What if this has something to do with collusion with the Ryukyu pirates? You should know about the two generals Zhang Zhenzhou and Chen Ling training in Hangzhou Bay, right? Su You immediately took advantage of the question and connected the secret they had just reported.

"Ah" Tang Quanzhou and the others suddenly changed their faces, and said one after another, "After a little envoy, we have never had anything to do with the Ryukyuan people!" It was Yuan Shangwu who colluded with the Ryukyuan people to invade! ”

"You can defend yourself with the relevant departments!" The relevant departments of Su Lobbying are naturally the most mysterious place in the Great Sui Empire.

When everyone heard these four words, the two of them trembled for a while, and they involuntarily left the table and knelt on the ground, buckled their heads and said, "After a little envoy, you can't force us to a dead end!" ”

Su You had a gloomy face and said-for-tat, "Have you ever thought about the official's way of life? I'm going door-to-door, asking you to focus on the bigger picture, but what about you? But they hid and didn't see me, and they also manipulated their respective bank ticket numbers to raise prices and create incidents."

"We didn't" The crowd had clearly done this unfortunate thing, but now was the time to confess their sins, so they began to defend themselves.

"No fart!" Su You slapped the case and said word by word, "If it weren't for the fact that you are crazy about buying food stamps and usury on the other hand, so that the people will also come to buy them, how can prices rise endlessly!" Of course, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to earn 20 million yuan in just ten days."

In the end, Su You turned from anger to joy and laughed.

Everyone had never seen Su You's face change, and they were speechless for a while.

Shen Mo immediately regained his expressionless face, and said with hatred, "My big bosses, wake up!" You can come here today, and you still think that you have betrayed the prince of Yuanda, right? Actually, he gave up on you a long time ago, he came to see me last night, and you've been kept in the dark, haven't you? ”

Tang Quanzhou listened to Su You's discordant words, and couldn't help but be suspicious, "Yuan Shangwu said that he has his son-in-law self-esteem, and he said that he would not bow to the envoy who is more than his identity." ”

It was a high-sounding statement, but it was a pity that his actions betrayed his wild words. You've all seen geckos with broken tails, right? It may seem like their tails and bodies are one and the same, but when in danger, they shake off their tails, use their little bouncing creatures to attract the attention of their enemies, and run away. Su You said this, pointing to everyone, "You are the poor little tail, understand?" ”

When everyone heard Su You's heart-wrenching words, their faces were like ashes, and their sweat was like pulp.

For a long time, they have been sitting in the well and watching the sky, and they have been king and hegemonic in Yangzhou, and they feel that they are very strong. They never believed that foreign monks were good at chanting, so they dared to betray the envoys of the imperial court, they relied on Yuan Shangwu on the surface, and they also dared to betray Yuan Shangwu when he needed them the most

They have always thought that they have the initiative, and they are very important in Yangzhou.

But Su You now woke up the dreamers with a word, so that they finally found that they had been used at the door of their homes, and what was even more tragic was that they were abandoned now.

When they came back to their senses, they saw that Su You was carefully observing the teacup in his hand, as if the broken porcelain was also more important than them.

Tang Quanzhou and the others discussed in a low voice for a while, and finally he came forward and said to Su You sincerely, "After a brief envoy, we are willing to prove that Yuan Shangwu colluded with the Ryukyuan people, and we are also willing to work hard to find evidence for this case to make up for the harm we have brought to Yangzhou during this time." ”

Su You immediately nodded and said with a smile, "You guys are very good." ”
