Chapter 179: Wang Mang makes a move
The owner of the women's clothing store looked at Lu Yuan with a shy face, with 10,000 taels of silver in his hand, and pleaded: "Adults, the little ones are forced to be helpless, and they really don't dare to do the things that set prices indiscriminately and disrupt the market order, they were all made by the Zhao family, and you adults are aware of it!"
"Huh. Lu Yao didn't wait for Lu Yuan to speak, so he sneered: "Half a quarter of an hour ago, didn't you keep saying that the things in this store, as long as I fancy them, will cost 10,000 taels of silver?"
"This ...... This is all made by the Zhao family!" The boss shouted very undisciplinedly: "Who on this street does not know that I am a law-abiding businessman, who has been in the business for more than ten years, and has never done anything shoddy, short of catties and shortages, this time I am really forced to be helpless, your old man has to be aware of it!"
"So, we have wronged you?" Lu Yao sneered, threw the clothes in his hand directly to the boss, and said: "This is what you said, the precious clothes of the Qi State cost eight thousand taels of silver just to be transported to Xinyang City, and now Xinyang Ling is here, please issue relevant documents to prove that this dress is indeed a precious clothing from the Qi Kingdom." ”
"This ......" the boss said with a pale face: "This is all nonsense from villains, this is a costume made in Nanyang, this is ......"
"Then you just admit that what you said is false?" Lu Yao said with a smile: "According to the commercial law, one fake will be punished by ten, since you are fake, then act according to the rules." ”
"By what rules?" stammered the boss.
"Ten fines for a fake!" Lu Yao said with a smile: "I bought your clothes for 10,000 taels of silver, and now that you admit that your clothes are fake, then you can return me 100,000 taels of silver according to the rules." ”
"One hundred thousand taels. The boss opened his mouth, collapsed directly to the ground, and wailed: "My lord, please let go of the small one, you just sold the small one, and it is not worth 10,000 taels, where will the small one get 100,000 taels of silver to compensate you!"
"When you sold me 10,000 taels of silver for a piece of clothing, why didn't you say that, aren't you very rich, 8,000 taels of silver for clothes that came in from the Qi country. Lu Yao sneered.
And among the crowd surrounded by the excitement, there were a few businessmen who had just received Lu Yao's money, and they were also dumbfounded at this time.
Waiting for the owner of the clothing store to be unlucky, the next one will be their turn, a fake penalty of ten, a few taels of silver, dozens of taels of silver they can take out, hundreds of taels of silver can also be taken out by gritting their teeth, but let them take thousands of taels of silver, it is simply impossible.
A few bosses, gritting their teeth, took out the silver that had not yet been covered from their arms, walked out of the crowd directly, knelt down in front of Lu Yao, held the silver and said: "The little ones have no beads, they offended the adults, and I beg the adults to see that the small ones are old and young, and life is not easy, so let the small ones go." ”
"Hehe, that's not what you just said. Lu Yao said unrelentingly: "Tell you, either pay back the money, or see the official, and you will do it yourself." ”
After speaking, Lu Yao turned his head to look at Lu Yuan and said, "Lu Yuan, according to the laws of Great Qin, how should they punish this behavior?"
"A fine of six months of hard labor for a sum of less than 1,000 taels of silver; a fine of one year for one thousand taels to five thousand taels; a fine of three years of hard labor for five thousand taels to ten thousand taels; a fine of five years of hard labor for three members of a family of five years for a fine of more than 10,000 taels of silver; a fine of ten years of hard labor for five members of a family member of a family of fifty thousand to one hundred thousand taels; a fine of twenty years of hard labor for ten members of a family of ten for a fine of more than 100,000 taels. Lu Yuan looked at the merchant in front of him expressionlessly.
Lu Yuan's every word was like a hammer hitting the hearts of several businessmen kneeling on the ground, one of them was even more frightened, as for the owner of the clothing store, everyone was dumbfounded, and the people present counted him as the most black-hearted, and also counted him as the most guilty, even sitting on the family of ten people for 20 years of hard labor, it can be said that their entire family generation has been ruined, and even the next generation has been ruined.
What kind of place is the hard labor camp, the dirtiest and most tiring work in the whole city is all the hard labor of the hard labor camp, and they are not paid, they are given a steamed bun a day, since the day the hard labor camp was established, I have never heard of anyone who can live in the hard labor camp for three years, let him do hard labor for 20 years, that is to let his whole family be punished!
After thinking about it, the owner of the clothing store looked up to the sky and howled: "The eldest man of the Zhao family, where are you, save us!"
The voice of the clothing store owner fell, and Qian Guangda, the Cheng of Xinyang County, came over with a solemn expression with the warden, the clerk and a cadre of the six rooms.
Qian Guangda walked up with a smile and looked at Lu Yuandao: "Lord Lu, I heard that you led all the people and horses to thoroughly investigate the lawlessness in Xinyang City, why didn't you call me!"
Who doesn't know that you are from the Qian family? Lu Yuan sneered in his heart, glanced at Wang Mang, and knew that this was the Zhao family's backhand.
Lu Yuan snorted and said directly: "This official does things, can I tell you, do I take you?"
Qian Guangda smiled, squinted his eyes and said: "Lord Lu doesn't look down on the lower officials, how can the lower officials say that they are also the county officials appointed by the imperial court, and they are the deputy of the county order, what happened in this county, the county order should be informed to the lower officials according to reason, Lord Lu is not a local after all, there are some things that Lord Lu doesn't know very well, but the lower officials understand, it is better for Lord Lu to do things in the future, and it is easier to do things in this city." ”
"Are you teaching me a lesson?" Lu Yuan looked at Qian Guangda coldly.
"No, no. Qian Guangda shook his head and said: "How dare Xia Guan teach Lord Lu a lesson, Xia Guan just gave Lord Lu a piece of advice!"
"Lu Yuan, your subordinate doesn't give you much face!" Lu Yao fanned the flames on the side.
Qian Guangda's eyes flickered, glared at Lu Yao and said: "Be bold and make a fool of the people, this official speaks, is it your turn to interject, come on, give me a palm!"
"You dare!" Lu Yao's eyes widened.
"Palm!" Qian Guangda made it clear that he wanted Lu Yao to give Lu Yuan a dismissal.
At that moment, there were two officials behind Qian Guangda who stood up directly, and walked towards Lu Yao with a cruel smile, Lu Yuantie's face was blue, and Qian Guangda was so unhappy when he saw it, and said bluntly: "Lord Lu attaches the most importance to the official body, and he can't see anyone committing a crime, and he has punished many people for great disrespect, and now this person dares to be so presumptuous in front of Lord Lu, it's damned, give me a hard slap, let Lord Lu know that I believe that Yang City is a reasonable place." ”
Qian Guangda made it clear that he would retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, biting Lu Yao to death, and Lu Yuan, who bit it, had no temper at all, people said, this is all your Lord Lu's pot, and the lower officials are also favored by the upper officials.
But the people present are not only Lu Yuan's brothers and sisters, Wang Mang saw the two officials walking up, walked forward with a smile, waved his hand, the two officials flew out, and with another wave of his hand, a slap mark fell on Qian Guangda's face.
Qian Guangda looked at Wang Mang in disbelief, covered his face and shouted: "Who are you, you dare to attack the imperial court officials, what about the person, quickly capture this person, life and death do not matter!"
