Li Ziqiao shouted, "But the business in that area is not easy to do, and the people don't have any money. ”

Yu Shangshu nodded: "Yes, business over there is not very easy to do, but it is the safest there." Otherwise, I have a lot of businesses over there, all of which are time-honored brands, and they are still making money, I have redeemed them to you, you can manage them well, you can save a lot of work, and the guys and customers are familiar, to ensure that you only make money and do not lose. ”

Li Ziqiao was overjoyed, "That's the best, it saves me a lot of work, but it's too troublesome for adults." ”

Yu Shangshu smiled: "Li Gongzi is polite, I and Li Gongzi hit it off at first sight, so we should make friends." Besides, I have been an official in Beijing all these years, and I don't have the heart to take care of these remote shops, so giving it to Li Gongzi can be regarded as helping me. ”

Li Ziqiao hurriedly said: "Then I still have to thank Lord Yu." Li remembers this love and will definitely repay it in the future. ”

Li Ziqiao and Yu Shangshu had a very happy conversation, and made an agreement on the same day, Yu Shangshu transferred the sixty shops near Guiwang Mountain in his hand to Li Ziqiao, the price needless to say, 500,000 taels. Li Ziqiao left happily as if he had picked up a big bargain.

Yu Shangshu was very happy, Li Ziqiao was stupid and had a lot of money, what he said and what he believed. These 60 or so shops are already operating averagely, and there are all kinds of businesses, and they can't play at all if they are generally inexperienced, and they will return to him in the future. Besides, in terms of price, these shops are worth more than 200,000 yuan, and Yu Shangshu is equivalent to earning 300,000 taels at once, so he is naturally very happy. But when he thought of the whereabouts of the 300,000 taels, Yu Shangshu couldn't be happy. Although the Yu family did not break their muscles and bones this time, the loss was not small, except for the shop and some treasures, there was not much money that could be taken out. Without liquidity for purchase turnover, business will naturally be affected, and I am afraid that it will not get better for a while. And the culprit of all this is Liu Xiang, so Yu Shangshu is not ready to let the Liu family have a better time.

In the past two days, following the incident of the Yu family's son-in-law spending a lot of money just to win a smile from the beauty, many romantic affairs of the second and third sons of the Liu family of the dignified Liu Xiangye family broke out again.

First of all, Liu Sangongzi, who fell in love with the wife of a farmer in the suburbs of Beijing last year, and wanted to snatch someone over. As a result, the woman was also fierce, and she committed suicide that day. Liu Sangongzi got into trouble, so he asked Liu Ergongzi, who was a servant of the ministry, to come forward, suppress the matter, and give the farmer a hundred taels of silver. But now, this farmer didn't know what to think, but he still came to the gate of the prefect's mansion to beat the drum and voice his grievances, saying that Liu Sangongzi robbed the woman and forced his wife to death, and Liu Ergongzi shielded his younger brother and oppressed people with power. And the prefect Bai Ziyu also took the case, and heard that Liu Sangongzi would be summoned to the case.

And is Liu Ergongzi clean? In addition to using power to oppress people, Liu Ergongzi is also involved with a pretty widow. It is rumored that Liu Ergongzi is also a romantic figure, and once he hooked up with the beautiful hostess of a merchant, and after the two had several contacts, they were discovered by the businessman. The businessman didn't dare to provoke the Liu family, so he could only swallow his anger and wanted to take the family out of the capital. But somehow, within two days, he couldn't afford to get sick, and in a few days he was gone. And this second son Liu often goes in and out of the widow's house. But the businessman also has an old mother, and this old man is also a powerful person, and he found someone to arrest the second son of Liu and the widow, and made the matter known to everyone. Then, the old woman sued Liu Ergongzi for poisoning her son in partnership with the widow, and she wanted to make the adulterer and adulteress pay for her life. Coincidentally, the paper was handed into the prefect's lobby on the same day.

Is that the end of it? Not yet, this subsequently, it broke out that Liu Xiang was young and had one or two or three romantic affairs, the Liu family's children who were officials in the court had one or two or three romantic affairs, the Liu family's steward had one or two or three romantic affairs, and later there were even one or two or three romantic affairs when the virtuous concubine was in her mother's house. For a time, the Liu family formed an indissoluble bond with the romantic affairs, and many literati also joined in the fun, compiling these romantic affairs into scripts and small songs to be sung among the people. Although the affair is not a big evil, it is also despised by others, and the Liu family is from a scholarly family, the head of the clear stream, which makes people feel hypocritical and despicable. Because the Liu family has always been domineering, the people in the market have no good impression of the Liu family, and they are even more willing to spread these things, so soon, even to the surrounding prefectures and counties, Liu Xiang's reputation plummeted all of a sudden.

Liu Xiang knew that someone was behind the ghost, so he immediately sent someone to investigate, but the results of this investigation made Liu Xiang puzzled. When did the Yu family and the Zhou family come together again? Moreover, the Zhou and Liu families have not fought once or twice, and the Zhou family disdains to use this method, but how can they do it now? This happened too suddenly, without any warning, but the second son of the Liu family is a son-in-law, and he will inherit the family business in the future.

And the thing that made Liu Xiang even more troublesome was still in the court. The prefect Bai Ziyu wrote to Qianzong that the second son of the Liu family was greedy for women and murdered people, and now he was sued by the people and presented two forms.

Bai Ziyu said: "Since ancient times, the prince of the Tao has broken the law and committed the same crime as the people. The children of the Liu family are accused, and naturally they must be dealt with impartially, but the third son of Liu has no merit, and the prefect can summon him, but this second son of Liu is a servant of the ministry, and he is at the same level as the minister, and the minister cannot be tried, so he asks the emperor to decide. ”

Yu Shangshu preluded: "The case of the poisoning of the second son of Liu has not yet been decided, but this matter with the widow was seen in public, this is a fact, it stands to reason that such a person is no longer worthy of being an official, and he also asked the emperor to remove him from his official position and demote him to a commoner, so that the Bai Governor's Mansion can start the trial." ”

Scholar Zhou also said: "What Lord Yu said is very true, and the minister seconded it. In addition, Liu Xiangye was not strict with his son, and he did these undignified things, which made the entire court officials also humiliated, and asked the emperor to punish him. ”

Liu Xiangzi couldn't bear this loss, and immediately argued: "These rumors appeared in my Liu family overnight, and then two pieces of paper in a row, it is too much of a coincidence, this is obviously someone who cares about framing, if according to the words of Lord Zhou and Lord Yu, wouldn't it be the trick of the people behind the scenes, and please ask the Holy Lord to investigate."

The ministers on Liu Xiang's side immediately interceded one after another, and the people on the side of Zhou Daxue were not to be weak, and the court soon became full of quarrels, as lively as a vegetable market.

Qianzonggao sat on the dragon chair, watching the comings and goings between the ministers below, and couldn't say a word, and then he simply didn't say anything, just like Yun Yuhong said, watch it as a play, see which one is happy, and settle the ledger together after the autumn. After watching it for a while, Qianzong's gaze couldn't help but move to Bai Ziyu's body. This is a beautiful man, and he is worthy of his baby daughter in appearance, but he can't practice martial arts, his position is too low, and he is a candidate of the Yasukuni family, so he is not taken seriously, what is good about him, can he attract his daughter's attention, is it just that face?

After Bai Ziyu threw out the question, he stood there and watched the people on both sides arguing and arguing. He seemed to be on the side of Yu Shangshu and Zhou Daxue with the form, but in fact, there was an invisible line separating him from Zhou Daxue. It seems to be silent, and it has the potential to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

The people on both sides argued for more than an hour, and several elderly ministers were a little unbearable, and their faces were pale when they stood there, and they almost rolled their eyes and fell directly to the ground. Qianzong was already upset when he heard it, and he had a faint headache. After an imperial historian impassionedly stated his views, he finally came to say: "Please make a decision."

Qianzong sat up straight, coughed lightly, looked at the expectant faces below, but asked Bai Ziyu, "Bai Aiqing, what do you think should be done?"

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Bai Ziyu.

Bai Ziyu didn't expect Qianzong to kick the ball to him, but his face was still calm as usual, and he stepped forward and replied: "What the ranking adults say is very reasonable, but most of them are just conjectures, and there is no empirical evidence. Xia Gong Zhi whispered, but he also knew that the case could not be thought of, it was necessary to rely on human and physical evidence, otherwise the case would be handed over to the Criminal Department and tried by the Criminal Department. ”

Scholar Zhou immediately said: "That's fine, this is also a matter of the criminal part, after all, Liu Ergongzi is an official of the imperial court, and the prefect is not suitable for trial." ”

Liu Xiangye didn't want to allow it, Master Shangshuhong of the Criminal Department is a student of Zhou University, and he is a member of Zhou University's party, if he hands over people to the Criminal Department, can he come back alive? But there is no suitable reason to refute it, after all, this matter should be under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department. At the moment of emergency, Liu Xiangye remembered that he couldn't let Lord Hong try alone, and those who couldn't intervene in him should also make this matter fairer, so he made up his mind and saluted Qianzong: "This case was handed over to the Bai Governor's Mansion, and it was a case of the people suing the official, in order to show justice, the Bai Governor's Mansion should also be involved, and the minister suggested that the Criminal Department and the Governor should jointly try the case." ”

Qianzong didn't expect this to be the result, in the past, Liu Xiangye didn't say that he was covering the sky with one hand, and he would never let people try the case, can the people of the Liu family be at fault, the fault is all those grass people, and they all frame good people. Now the case will not only be tried, but also tried by the two departments. Zhou and Yu joined forces to suppress Liu Xiangye, Bai Ziyu pushed things forward in a few words, Liu Xiang also had to give in, and Bai Ziyu also had to review, this Bai Ziyu is not only good-looking, but also a little expected.

Qianzong's evaluation of Bai Ziyu rose from a little white face to a little expected, and he was also happy to promote him, so he nodded and said: "Since the two Aiqing have said so, then according to what you said, this case will be handed over to Lord Hong of the Criminal Department and Lord Bai of the Prefect for joint trial." ”
