『Chapter error, click here to report』
Fengtian transported, the emperor edict said, after investigating the Bai clan's greed for ink and military supplies and silver The evidence is conclusive, and this move is punished with the crime of treason with the enemy, and I decided to demote the Bai clan to commoners, and the whole clan will be exiled to Qianzhou, and will never be allowed to return to Beijing.
As soon as the emperor's edict came out, the Bai family's guilt had been decided, even if the Queen Mother objected, it couldn't compare to the people's grievances, and the Queen Mother Bai also knew that her maiden family was a group of wine bags and rice bags, and she would covet that little bit of silver at this critical juncture, since they couldn't help themselves with anything, the Empress Dowager Bai no longer had any excuses for her mother's family.
The Bai family was assigned by the whole clan, and the originally lively Cheng'en Mansion and the large and three-room houses that lived alone were also confiscated. Old lady Bai looked at her son with resentment, it was really a group of blinding things, it was they who pushed the Bai family to this place of no return.
Along the way, the people of the Bai family passed through the towns, they would be beaten and scolded by the people with stones, vegetable leaves, and eggshells, as the so-called good things do not go out, and evil things go thousands of miles, and what the Bai family has done can be said to be already the anger of people and gods.
At this time, King Chen and Shangguan Tianyu found several secret letters among the confiscated Bai family property. These are the secret letters between the second room of the Bai family and the Southern Chu Emperor Kong Qi. The letter mentioned that as long as the Bai family uses his hands and feet in military equipment, so that the army of Southern Chu can drive straight in, and after the Beichen Kingdom is destroyed, he can carve up the territory of Beichen and make him a prince king who is not subject to jurisdiction.
These are all real acts of betrayal, King Chen doesn't know if these letters are read by the emperor, will he still protect the Bai family so much, and only degrade them to ordinary people and exile them to Qianzhou?
When King Chen was about to hand over these secret letters to the emperor, the streets and alleys of Yuncheng were full of secret letters from the Bai family and the Southern Chu Emperor, and the evidence of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country was seen by the people of the whole city. Originally, I just thought that the Bai family was greedy for money, but then I realized that the reason why the Bai family wanted to do this was so that they could establish themselves as kings, and it was really a big ambition.
After the emperor learned about this, he ordered someone to bring all the Bai family back and execute the death penalty directly at the entrance of the vegetable market. The Bai family thought that the Queen Mother had a way to rescue them all, but they didn't expect that what was waiting for them was more than a dozen executioners.
On the day of the beheading of the Bai family, in addition to the Queen Mother and the Queen, a total of one hundred and two members of the Bai family were all beheaded. Blood stained the entire ground of the Dharma field red, and the onlookers all applauded.
The queen learned that her parents had been beheaded, and she cried sadly in the palace, she didn't expect that the emperor would be so ruthless, how could he say that when he ascended to the throne, the Bai family paid a lot, but what about him? At this time, they couldn't even save the people of the Bai family.
The Bai clan was annihilated, Chu Lixue was not very happy, she didn't know how many people like the Bai family still had in Beichen's court, and as long as these people were there, Beichen's rivers and mountains would not be stable, and the people would not be able to live and work in peace and contentment. Thinking of this, Chu Lixue couldn't help but think that if King Chen could regain the throne and let him sit in the country, maybe the lives of the people would be much better.
However, fighting a war requires funds, although the business in her store is very good, but a large part of it has been used on those soldiers who have been secretly cultivated, war horses, weapons, armor, and the clothes of the soldiers all year round, and the food they eat on weekdays, all of which Chu Lixue paid out of her own pocket.
But if you want to recruit more soldiers, you need more money, thinking of this, Chu Lixue couldn't help but hit the idea of that batch of supreme treasures, but now the so-called map is not clear, that map just gives a general direction, other clues are not yet, and it can't be solved for a while.
These things are naturally difficult for the intelligent Princess Chen, and soon Chu Lixue thought of a clever plan, of course, it was her business experience.
Nowadays, all the stores under her name are very profitable, and if you want to make more money, you must develop your business out of Beichen Kingdom, and there is a way that foreign monks can chant scriptures, so if the product is good enough, you are not afraid of no customers.
Thinking of this, Chu Lixue wrote a letter, she was going to write this letter to Murong Lingxiang, it was inconvenient for her to leave Cloud City, but Murong Lingxiang could, and that guy was also a business genius.
Soon, Murong Lingxiang came to King Chen's Mansion after receiving the letter, in fact, he also wanted to expand the business of the Murong family, but he didn't think about how to expand, but he didn't expect Chu Lixue to think of it with him.
Moreover, he and Princess Chen's partnership in the jade business also made good money, but now the jade mining is over, and the jade is a little floating. They decided to let those jade stones be baptized with some more heaven and earth essence before mining.
Since both of them want to expand their business, it is natural to sit together and discuss it well. Thinking of this, Murong Lingxiang summoned people to prepare a simple outfit, and rode the lightning chasing horse towards King Chen's mansion.
Murong Lingxiang's horse is naturally a first-class good horse, and this horse has already been targeted by people with intentions as soon as it entered Cloud City. Such a good horse, if it is sold, is worth 10,000 taels of gold, enough for a family to live a prosperous life.
Murong Lingxiang handed over the horse to the little servant at the gate of King Chen's mansion, the little servant took the reins with a smile, led the horse to the back door, tied it into the stable, grabbed a handful of fine forage and put it in the manger, and the lightning chasing horse ate happily.
At this time, Chu Lixue was sitting in the room writing something, Murong Lingxiang saw this scene and felt that the picture was very beautiful, and he couldn't even bear to disturb Chu Lixue, who was so focused.
"Why don't you stand in the yard and don't go in?" A warm male voice came from behind Murong Lingxiang.
You don't need to turn around to know that that person must be the master of this palace, Murong Lingxiang said in his heart, how can I say it? Say you can't bear to disturb this beautiful scene? Will King Chen think about it too much? He likes Chu Lixue, he has liked it since he was a child, but he has never said it to anyone.
His protection of Chu Lixue was silent, and Chu Lixue never knew about it. Sometimes he really feels that God is very unfair, Chu Lixue used to be the daughter of the Prime Minister's house, he was just a person in the rivers and lakes, such a different life circle, it is difficult for them to come together. But later, something happened to the Chu family, and when he wanted to guard her side, she put on a wedding dress and married King Chen.
Sometimes Murong Lingxiang was thinking that if she had jumped off the cliff and came to Murong Villa, how good it would have been to stay, and if so, they would be very happy.
"I saw that the county lord was concentrating on writing, and I was afraid of disturbing her." Murong Lingxiang smiled lightly.
"Lixue can do two things at once, and when she writes, she can also discuss things with you at the same time." King Chen said proudly.
Chu Lixue is his princess, the princess is so good, he, as a husband, naturally has a very bright face. On the other hand, King Chen knows very well that Chu Lixue's talent is appreciated by many people, and he has to declare his sovereignty all the time.
Hearing the sound of the courtyard, Chu Lixue raised her eyes and looked, Murong Lingxiang and King Chen stood side by side in the courtyard, don't look at Murong Lingxiang is just a person in the rivers and lakes, but he and King Chen stand side by side, not inferior at all, if you don't know the identities of the two of them, you may think that Murong Lingxiang is also a prince.
"Murong, you're here. I didn't expect it to be so fast. Chu Lixue stood up and said with a light smile.
"Yes, as soon as I received your letter, I hurried to it."
Hearing this, King Chen put away his smile, thinking that this Murong Lingxiang was just passing by, but he didn't expect that it was Chu Lixue who wrote to him, so he rushed over, and he didn't know what to say between them, could it be that it had something to do with Chu Lifeng? King Chen couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.
In Murong Villa, the only person who can make Chu Lixue worry about it is the Chu family, could it be that there is something wrong with the Chu family? Thinking of this, King Chen also stepped into Chu Lixue's room.
Looking down and seeing that there were many drawings on Chu Lixue's desk, Murong Lingxiang looked at these drawings and frowned slightly, "You mean to use colored glass as jade?" But some discerning connoisseurs can see it at a glance, and this will break the signboard. ”
Even if the treasury is tight now, you can't use glass to pretend to be ah, if it is known, isn't it a smashing signboard? "If you lack money, tell me, I have."
"Murong, what I want is not a decimal, this money, we can earn it from others, so why do we have to pay out of our own pockets." Chu Lixue said lightly.
"So how?"
"These are the techniques of imitating jade and agate with colored glass, and you let those craftsmen do it according to my method. Also, we must let them sign a death contract, if these are leaked, our financial road will be cut off. ”
"It doesn't matter, the main materials and tools are unique to us, they just have the craftsmanship, and they are not afraid of what they say." Murong Lingxiang smiled lightly.
The materials have been properly discussed, and Chu Lixue's can also be a little more relieved, not to mention that in ancient times, there are many high-quality imitations in modern society, and those high-imitation products are naturally facing those customers who have no money and good face. Therefore, she is not worried at all that there is no market for these high-imitation jewelry.
But how to open up the way to do business in other countries, if you resell these things to those merchants in the Western Regions, it is also a good choice, but if that is the case, their profits will be reduced a lot, and after a long time, they will be oppressed by those merchants in the Western Regions, so she Chu Lixue will not be restrained forever.
Thinking of this, Chu Lixue had an idea in her heart, if she selected some people from Murong Lingxiang's Black Eagle Army, and then led the team by her brother, let them dress up as a caravan in the Western Regions, take these items to sell in the four countries, and then bring them back to Beichen Kingdom to sell, then those rich merchants in Beichen Kingdom who regard wealth as their fate will come to buy these high-quality imitations one after another, you know, the real high-quality jade is expensive, and jewelry is used to make women happy, even if it is too much pampering for a certain woman, If it really comes to the point of cutting the meat, they will not do it.
I have to say that Chu Lixue has already figured out the minds of those rich businessmen, and the next thing is that Murong Lingxiang will go to find a craftsman to make jewelry.
But at this moment, a little guy hurriedly came to report that Murong Lingxiang's lightning chasing horse had been stolen......
