"Lord Qingtian, do you know if Jiaozhi is exempt from taxes as Grandpa Guo said?"

Just when Dong Youcai was flustered, a voice broke the silence in the lobby, and Liu Zhang saw that Dong Youcai was suppressed by Li Yuntian's momentum, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to relieve him and asked Zhao Muyu in a loud voice.

"This is the first time I've heard of this official being busy with official business." Zhao Muyu pondered for a moment and answered Liu Zhang quietly.

"What about the three adults?" Liu then asked the three officials of the three legal divisions who participated in the hearing.

"This official and others only heard about this today." The three officials of the Three Divisions looked at each other, and then the official sitting at the top of the table spoke, none of them wanted to get involved in this matter, so telling the truth was the best option.

"Lord Qingtian, since no one knows whether Jiaozhi is exempt from taxes, how can it be concluded that those tax seals are fake from Grandpa Guo's words?" Seeing this, Liu Zhang couldn't help gritting his teeth and looking at Zhao Muyu, and questioned loudly.

"Whether it's true or not, the official will find out, and you still honestly tell you whether you have been to Qinghua City or not!" Zhao Muyu frowned when he heard this, and said coldly.

"Lord Qingtian, you can't believe Grandpa Guo's words, Grandpa Guo is powerful in the capital, and it is easy for him to frame the people's women, can't the Lord see that the picture was forged in advance, and he wants to use it to put the people's women to death!"

Liu Zhang's face changed, her current situation is not much better than Dong Youcai, and there is no way back now, so she pretended to be sad and angry and said to Zhao Muyu loudly, insisting that Li Yuntian was framing her.

"You mean that the people from the Yamen of the Zhenguo Gong and the Ministry of Industry framed you?" Zhao Muyu's eyes flashed with a look of disgust, and he looked at Liu Zhang's with a sneer, what he hated most was that Liu Zhang's stubborn Diao Min was still quibbling when Li Yuntian came up with conclusive evidence.

"Master, what is the truth, the Lord should send someone to Jiaozhi to investigate, instead of listening to and believing!" Liu Zhangshi hesitated for a moment when he heard this, stared at Zhao Muyu and said, if Li Yuntian could not be charged with "expropriation and tyranny and preying on the common people" in the court trial, then her mission would have failed.

Now that it is no longer possible to defeat Li Yuntian in the court, Liu Zhang's family can only turn to the second best thing to make Li Yuntian suspected of being a traitor.

"Bold and unscrupulous, dare to speak wild words to slander Shangguan, come ......" Zhao Muyu saw that Liu Zhang's family actually questioned his own case in public, and immediately became furious, thinking when his dignified Shuntian Mansion Yin suffered this kind of sulking, slapped the table hard, and pointed at Liu Zhang's angrily.

Although Suncheonfu Yin was nominally in charge of Gyeonggi affairs, he was qualified to accept complaints from all over the world, just like the Yushitai, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple, and was regarded as a small criminal department by the outside world.

Although the official rank of Shuntian Mansion Yin is not high, it is difficult to have the right to make decisions on many affairs, but Shuntian Mansion Yin has an enviable privilege, that is, he can directly enter the palace to face the saint, which means that he has become the third official position of the Ming Dynasty second only to the six servants and the deputy capital of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace.

"Lord Zhao, why bother with a female streamer!" Without waiting for Zhao Muyu to say the punishment for offending Liu Zhang, Li Yuntian interrupted him, it was obvious that Liu Zhang's deliberately provoked Zhao Muyu and wanted to end the court trial, but Li Yuntian would let her get her wish.

Although Li Yuntian said lightly, there was an unquestionable coercion in his tone, Zhao Muyu suddenly became distracted when he heard this, and his excited feelings calmed down, and he sat there looking at Liu Zhang with an expressionless face.

He knew why Li Yuntian stopped him from moving the sentence one after another, because today's court trial was about Li Yuntian's reputation, and Li Yuntian would solve this matter in his own way, and he couldn't "take the lead."

Moreover, Zhao Muyu believes that Li Yuntian will definitely make the hard-mouthed Liu Zhang surrender, because Li Yuntian needs a hearty victory, so he is now a little looking forward to what kind of way Li Yuntian will use to make Liu Zhang no longer mess around.

The people outside the hall also wanted to know what else Li Yuntian had to do to deal with Liu Zhang's family, so they all stared at the lobby, which made the scene quiet for a while, silent.

"Although you know that the business of Cochin is in the hands of the merchants who have the franchise there, one thing is not clear, the monopoly of the cloth business in Thanh Hoa City is not in the hands of Chen Tianyuan, he is in charge of the cloth business in the southern area of Thanh Hoa Province, and Thanh Hoa City is in the northern part of Thanh Hoa Province, and the person in charge of the cloth business in the northern area of Thanh Hoa Province is named Zhang Tao."

Li Yuntian walked up to Liu Zhang's side, looked at her with a stern expression and said, "Therefore, if Liu Ren provokes someone in Qinghua City in business, it must be Zhang Tao, because seventy percent of the cloth business in Qinghua Mansion is in the north, how can Liu Ren put his business in the south, which only accounts for thirty percent?" In that case, he should live in the state capital in the south of Thanh Hoa Province and take care of business. ”

The Zheng family is in charge of Jiaozhi affairs is Zheng Wanrou's cousin Zhang Tao, and Chen Tianyuan are both graduates of the first phase of Kyushu Business College, because the two began to contact Li Yuntian's business philosophy when Li Yuntian served as the magistrate of Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, so the two are the most famous people in the younger generation of Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, known as Yuliang.

Liu Zhang's face showed a look of surprise, how could she know about these entanglements of interests in the Jiaozhi business community, although she didn't know whether what Li Yuntian said was the truth, but one thing can be certain, that is, Li Yuntian seemed to know a lot about the affairs of the Jiaozhi business community, but how could this be, you must know that Li Yuntian is busy with official business, where can he have time to pay attention to the affairs of the Jiaozhi business community?

Not only Liu Zhang's family, I am afraid that no one present knows that Li Yuntian puts business and military affairs and government affairs in an equally important position, and all the economic policies implemented by Jiaozhi are his handiwork, so he naturally knows everything about the affairs of the business community in Jiaozhi.

"Grandpa Guo, the folk woman remembers very well that the husband of the folk woman was deceived by the people instructed by Chen Tianyuan with those silks." Facing the aggressive Li Yuntian, Liu Zhang's heart became more and more uneasy, she naturally couldn't answer Li Yuntian's question, but she didn't need to answer if she was a woman, after all, doing business was a man's business, so she bit her lip and said to Li Yuntian.

"Then Liu Ren must have lied to you." Li Yuntian had long expected that Liu Zhang's would resist stubbornly, so a smile of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stared at her coldly and said, "Qinghua Mansion is just one of the many state capitals in Jiaozhi, and the areas where Jiaozhi's business is booming are the state capitals in the north that are close to Guangxi and Yunnan, as well as the state capitals on the southern coast, and the central part of Jiaozhi is mountainous and the roads are rugged. ”

"Even if there is something wrong between the two sides, do you think Chen Tianyuan and Zhang Tao will treat Liu Ren as an opponent?" Saying that, Li Yuntian sneered and asked, it is obvious that Chen Tianyuan and Zhang Tao will not surrender their identities to deal with Liu Ren, and they will definitely be shot by the people below, so Liu Ren said that Chen Tianyuan secretly calculated that he was definitely not a lie, I am afraid that he will not even be able to see Chen Tianyuan's face.

In fact, Ah Qiu and Fang Liang had also taken this into account in advance, but their purpose was to provoke the people's anger against Li Yuntian, so it would undoubtedly be better to involve Chen Tianyuan, anyway, this matter would not be verified before Li Yuntian would be killed by Emperor Xuande.

But the two of them never thought that Li Yuntian would be able to fight back and reverse the unfavorable situation for the camp step by step, which made this matter a powerful weapon for Li Yuntian to fight back.

"The folk woman is a woman, and I don't know about this kind of grievance, but the husband of the folk woman was indeed deceived by Chen Tianyuan's people, otherwise he would not have gone bankrupt and came to the capital to sue the emperor." In the face of Li Yuntian's wave after wave of offensives, Liu Zhang's was in chaos at this time, and she couldn't answer Li Yuntian's question at all, so she simply played a scoundrel and said to Li Yuntian through gritted teeth.

"My father just looked at Liu Ren's account books, and the batch of silk that Liu Ren lost all his family property was as high as 50,000 taels of silver."

Li Yuntian glanced at Liu Zhang's lightly, walked to the desk in the public court, picked up an account book placed on it, opened it and showed it to Liu Zhang's family, "This duke can sue you, there are a total of 200,000 people in the southern part of Qinghua Mansion, among which there are no more than 50 families who use silk, and the consumption of silk in a year does not exceed 10,000 taels of silver, and Liu Ren's silk of 50,000 taels of silver at a time is enough for him to sell for at least five years, which businessman will do this?" ”

"I can also tell you, I only finished checking the population of Jiaozhi at the end of last year, if you doubt what I said, you can check the archives of the household department."

Liu Zhang has now made up her mind, no matter what Li Yuntian says, she will question it, but this time before she can speak, Li Yuntian has already continued to ask, "You don't suspect that my father is cheating again, right?" Or do you suspect that the people in the mountainous areas of southern Thanh Hoa Province can buy more than 10,000 taels of silver a year at the price of Cochin? ”

Hearing this, Liu Zhang's words were immediately speechless, and Li Yuntian could be said to be in one sentence, pointing out the absurdity of the 50,000 taels of silk business.

Obviously, Ah Qiu and Fang Liang were not familiar with business matters, so they set the amount of silver involved in Liu Ren's silk business according to the consumption level of Beizhili, but they still greatly overestimated the consumption power of the people of Qinghua Mansion.

"Since the husband of the folk woman did this, then there must be a reason for him, maybe he wants to ship it to another place to sell." After a while, Liu Zhang came back to his senses and couldn't help but quibble.

"It is impossible for Liu Ren to do this, since he bought Chen Tianyuan's goods, then he can only sell them in the southern part of Thanh Hoa Province, because according to the Jiaozhi commercial franchise, the business in the southern part of Thanh Hoa Province cannot be operated across the border, otherwise it will be investigated and punished by the government."

Li Yuntian shook his head, explained in an orderly manner, stared at Liu Zhang's with a sneer and asked, "Besides, the purchase price of goods in nearby places is almost the same, Liu Ren must reduce the price if he wants to sell the goods elsewhere, if you take into account the travel expenses, his business this time will be a big loss, do you think Liu Ren will make a loss-making transaction?" ”

Liu Zhangshi was stunned for a moment, what Li Yuntian said was very logical, even if she wanted to deny it, she had no chance to speak, because she couldn't explain the whereabouts of the 50,000 taels of silk, so it proved that Liu Ren was lying, so her previous efforts would be in vain.
