Chapter 264: Changing Heavens
"yes......"
Hearing a bit of briskness, Qiao Sheng's brows furrowed together.
"What's the problem? Or is something happening to you—"
didn't directly answer Tang Mian's question, but immediately asked her what her current worth is? returned to Bai Yunniang, Xiaobao how much they were.
When he asked, Tang Mian immediately reacted to what he meant, how could he be so stupid? What he could think of, how could Prime Minister Xu not realize it.
"Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me! You hurry up and transfer the shops that are recorded in the names of Aunt Bai and Xiaobao to a person who is not related to you, remember that you can't tell anyone about this matter! ”
Having known Qiao Sheng for so long, it was the first time Tang Mian had seen him with such a serious expression.
He suddenly realized that this time the matter was not as simple as he thought, so he hurriedly sent a message to inform the people in Hualin County to hurry up and go through the formalities.
After waiting for everything to be dealt with, something suddenly occurred to her.
No way! It's too obvious that she did this, if she gets caught, it will affect Qiao Sheng at that time.
"Boss, don't worry, as long as you pretend not to know, no one dares to touch you!" Qiao Sheng tightened his heart and promised.
Tang Mian also discovered for the first time that the little ghost in the past seemed to have grown up overnight.
Later, Tang Mian took out more than 800,000 taels and gave him and asked him to continue to study the waterwheel.
Her idea is very simple, since there are some things that can't be resisted, then resolutely face the difficulties.
"Nope! I can't take your money! I still have-" Qiao Sheng resisted, Tang Mian grabbed his hand, she knew that the treasury had no silver at all, and he had recently gone to study the waterwheel.
In order to make a watermill as soon as possible, he sold all the shops and put a lot of money upside down.
He is only ten years old and is so conscious, and he can do something for the people of Tianling Country, and she should do it.
So he lowered his face, "If you don't accept me, I'll be unhappy, so I will allow you to work hard for the name of the country, and I will not be allowed to contribute!" ”
In this way, Tang Mian insisted on stuffing the box to him.
A month later, the people of the Imperial City were panicked, not only did many shops close their doors, but even the small vendors along the streets disappeared.
Koukouxiang has been open, but you can't buy vegetables, vegetables and meat.
"Owner, this is not the way, now the vegetable farmers and butchers have the goods in their hands, but they refuse to sell them to us. Or we'll close our doors. Tian Bo didn't expect that just because of an order from the emperor, the entire imperial city fell into a dead silence, their current vegetables, chickens and ducks are only enough for their own store to eat, no matter how much money is paid, everyone refuses to sell.
Yes! Just half a month ago, Guan Daren counted the property of each merchant one by one.
One-third of the levy is levied directly, and if the silver cannot be paid, the houses and fertile land will be forcibly expropriated.
I heard that more than 20 bosses in the chamber of commerce went bankrupt directly.
The family moved away from the imperial city and found another way out.
Those who remain now are at their own peril.
Yesterday, the boss of the son and grandson came to visit Tang Mian, firstly, to thank her; The second is to tell Tang Mian that their family is also going to move somewhere else.
Thanks to Tang Mian's guidance, he transferred most of the property in advance and divided it into several equal parts.
The imperial court not only checked but also checked several of his daughters and sons-in-law.
Fortunately, the money transferred to friends and subordinates is still there.
When the limelight passes, their family will come back, and then they will return Tang Mian's silver.
Shortly after Boss Sun left, the spies planted by the imperial court in the Chamber of Commerce reported that someone was suspected of rebellion, and directly arrested the stolen goods and seized them.
The emperor was furious and asked Lord Xu to inform all the merchants in the imperial city to go to the entrance of the vegetable market to watch a few people be beheaded.
It's gray and it looks like it's going to rain.
The wind blows from time to time.
The remaining six members of the same party, led by Boss Cheng, were escorted to the court of justice.
In order to prevent them from biting their tongues and committing suicide, the executioners gagged everyone's mouths with a cloth in advance.
Tang Mian glanced at it and found that it was all people he knew.
Tears rolled in the circles of the eyes in an instant.
After the inspection, the warden was about to give the order.
A messenger galloped on a horse to convey the emperor's message, asking everyone to watch how the seven of them died, and if anyone dared not to look at it, it would be like a rebellion, and they would be killed on the spot!
In the end, Tang Mian was a woman, and at the moment of execution, she forced herself to stare with her eyes wide open.
The hand under the cuff was clenched tightly.
At the moment when the executioner did it, looking at the bright red in her eyes, she couldn't hold back anymore and fainted.
"Master, there is news from the mouth that Miss Liu has woken up and is fine." Lin Zi remembered the bloody scene in the morning, and he still felt extremely depressed.
The emperor is really confused, the country only lies in the land, the land needs to be cultivated by the farmers, if there is no businessman to resell things to all parts of the world, then nothing can develop.
If this continues, it is estimated that it will not be long before someone will start to rebel.
"Lin Zi, continue to take a mouthful of incense, and report to me as soon as there is news." Gong Weishu stood outside the window, looking at the yellowed branches and leaves of the big tree outside the courtyard, and sighed heavily.
He vaguely felt that this was just the beginning.
is similar to what he speculated, in the winter royal hunt, there was a merchant surnamed Wu who did not hesitate to buy and murder the emperor, and was caught again, the emperor did not appease this time, and directly punished the nine clans of the Wu family, and then wanted to kill everyone who did business with them.
Fortunately, Qiao was born and pleaded for intercession, and the emperor only killed the entire Wu family.
However, this does not mean that he is willing to let go of the rest, he still exiles all the businessmen who have done business with the Wu family.
As soon as this incident came out, all businessmen did not dare to say half a word.
"Boss, why do you politely refuse the task of assassinating the emperor with your boss! He's a faint king! Nian Tian Xu was angry, he thought that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he would love the people like a son like the previous emperor, not to mention the wide range of words, at least he would not act recklessly, but now the court is all suppressed by Prime Minister Xu, if it weren't for Qiao Sheng's kid sacrificing his life, I don't know how many people would die.
He can't endure it anymore, he is the best martial artist in Zhongyitang, and he is willing to carry out this character.
"Nonsense! Do you know what you're talking about! "The boss was so angry with him that he couldn't do it, the existence of their Zhongyi Hall was to support justice, and they made a rule at the beginning of their establishment, not to meddle in the affairs of the court, and not to assassinate the court officials.
Once they take over this task and the assassination of the emperor fails, all their brothers will have to take their lives.
The life is gone, who will use the three million taels of silver?
Take a step back and say that the emperor does not have a son and a half daughter, and the emperor has no brothers and sisters, if something happens to the emperor, Prime Minister Xu will be able to seek power and usurp the throne if he does not do it well, and the world will definitely be in chaos.
He saw that Tian Xu was unwilling, and persuaded a few words.
I don't want this kid to listen at all.
also pointed at him and scolded: "Don't talk to me about those who don't have it, admit it!" You're just cowardly! ”
With that, he hurried out the door.
"Mian, tell me, what did I say wrong, the emperor is a faint king." Seeing that he was drunk and climbed the wall to find himself, and dragged him to keep saying disrespectful things when he met, Tang Mian hurriedly dragged him to the house, closed the door and asked Tian Bo to guard, not to let anyone approach.
