Tai Chi Temple.

Qin Huaidao walked unhurriedly, his face was calm, his eyes were clear, as if nothing had happened before, attracting the sideways glances of the civil and military officials, and the familiar ones nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting, and the unfamiliar ones ignored it directly, walked to the front row of the hundred officials and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

There is no holy title, and there is no salutation.

Calm and unscrupulous demeanor fell in the eyes of everyone, but it became arrogant, disrespectful, and rude.

Rites are fundamental, especially in the eyes of the saints and disciples.

In an instant, many people's faces became dissatisfied, and a supervisor who was in charge of court etiquette came out and scolded coldly: "King Han, how dare you be so rude in front of a saint? Pay attention to your words, or the lower officials will surely impeach you for the crime of great disrespect. ”

Qin Huaidao's eyes were cold: "The saint has never spoken, where did you come from so many things, you have time to think more about the strategies for the benefit of the country and the people, above the main hall, Hugh is noisy, and stay away." ”

"You ......"

The other party was suppressed by Qin Huaidao's momentum, and Qin Huaidao, who didn't think about it, suddenly became so strong, he used to be at most messing around, arguing with reason, and never acting domineeringly, he was a little overwhelmed for a while, but when he thought of his responsibility, he said hard-headedly: "King Han, the lower officials have the responsibility of supervising the etiquette of hundreds of officials......

"Okay, there's a lot of nonsense, if you want to be impeached, impeach." Qin Huaidao interrupted, this time I didn't come here to fight a war of words with people, and I didn't bother to fight a war of words, and I dropped the price.

The superintendent Yushi felt Qin Huaidao's ignorance, and hated it in his heart, although he was worried about revenge, but he still said hard: "Shengshang, the minister received the county government document from Chang'an County, saying that the King of Han connived at his subordinates to violently collect fines, although those merchants were dishonest first, violated the contract, and should be compensated, but the Han King's subordinates forcibly broke into the mansion and shop, and the goods they stole far exceeded the amount of the fine, which violated the laws of the imperial court. ”

The contract stipulates that the fine will be three times the compensation, but Luo Wu will take more than three times the amount of the debt.

Qin Huaidao knew about this, but acquiesced, since he tore his face and started a war, of course he couldn't be soft.

The supervising imperial history glanced at Qin Huaidao, and continued: "Shengshang, the minister also heard that the Shandong Shi clan and the Jiangnan Shi clan went to participate in the investment conference held by the Han King, although they were uninvited, a little rude, but there was a Hubu Shangshu Tang Lord to lead, is to humbly seek advice, learn the way of doing business, and go for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty business, but was beaten and detained by the Han King, and the life and death of everyone are unknown, the Han King is the Han King of the court, such an act damages the prestige of the court, and please ask the Holy Lord to investigate. ”

Two impeachments in a row.

The audience was in an uproar!

A household servant came out and said loudly: "Qiqi Sheng, Lord Tang was also beaten and injured, and the people of the household were panicked and filled with righteous indignation, asking for severe punishment of the murderer. ”

If it is the supervision of the imperial history, it is impeached, and this Tobe squire is a threat.

Li Er's face sank, and he stared at the Tobe waiter with deep meaning.

But after Tobe Shirou finished speaking, he bowed back, looking at his nose and nose, as if he hadn't said anything just now.

At this time, another official: "Shengshang, the minister heard that the Shandong Shi clan and the Jiangnan Shi clan are preparing to close all the shops in Chang'an, all of them will withdraw to their hometowns, and they will no longer be engaged in the sale of goods. ”

After the salt law, Haiyan could be uniformly dispatched by the imperial court, but the transportation still had to find a private caravan, which was almost monopolized by the Shandong family and the Jiangnan clan.

The words were even more threatening.

The civil and military officials were in an uproar and began to discuss in a low voice.

Fang Xuanling was a little embarrassed, on the one hand, Qin Huaidao's interests, on the other hand, Chang'an's stability, it was not good to give up that, and looked at Li Er with an embarrassed face.

Li Er is also embarrassed, sea salt is produced in the sea, within the sphere of influence of the Shandong Shi clan and the Jiangnan Shi clan, although it is collected by the imperial court, but the two clans are secretly making trouble, there will definitely be an accident, even if the imperial court sends someone to transport it, it will not work, the cost will increase greatly, not to mention that the imperial court does not have so many transport carriages.

But if Qin Huaidao was severely punished, Li Er was a little afraid to do so.

It's not difficult to kill a Qin Huaidao, but what about after killing?

All the martial arts in the imperial court, the prince of the country is afraid that everyone will be in danger, resign to protect themselves, and the millions of troops of the Tang Dynasty may rebel, not to mention that there are still 100,000 iron horsemen in Hanzhou, what can the court block, and who is willing to lead troops to block?

The saint is rich all over the world, but once the courtiers are separated, they become alone.

After some weighing, Li Er was in a dilemma, and couldn't help but look at Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao was too lazy to take care of these things, and was indifferent.

Fang Xuanling was worried that Qin Huaidao's stubborn temper would come up, so he hurriedly whispered: "Virtuous nephew, say a few words, at least put aside the involvement, and let the saint do better." ”

"What's my business?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically.

"This ...... After all, it's you who are impeached now. ”

"That's right!"

Qin Huaidao looked at the supervising imperial history and asked loudly, "You just impeached this king and took an extra fine?" ”

"This ...... Indeed, if the king of Han wants to veto? ”

Supervising the imperial history hesitated and asked, thinking of something, he quickly explained: "The lower officials do not mean to target the king of Han, but only the duty is to discuss matters and maintain the laws of the imperial court. ”

"There is some truth in these words, maintaining the majesty of the law of Zhenguan and demanding that it be acted in accordance with the law, the intention is very good, and this king does not blame you." Qin Huaidao said and glanced at Wei Zheng not far away, supervising the imperial history should be ordered by Wei Zheng to jump out, however, Wei Zheng is very principled, it should not be aimed at himself, but purely to maintain the law of the imperial court.

However, approval of this move does not mean acceptance.

Qin Huaidao continued: "This king said four points, first, the merchants joined forces to maliciously withdraw the goods, resulting in the department store having to close, and the loss was heavy, and the fine was three times reasonable, not to mention that there was a contract in advance; Second, the businessmen joined forces to open a 'department store', and their decoration, operation, operation and other means completely copied this king, and they should pay tuition; Third, this king is the king of Han, not an ordinary person, and the malicious withdrawal of goods by the merchant is undoubtedly humiliating, humiliating the king, and being punished with a rod according to the law, or a punishment in lieu of punishment; Fourth, the king's people only took three times the fine, but did not take more, if the merchant has no evidence, it is a false accusation, what should be the crime of falsely accusing the king? ”

asked four questions in a row, everyone was a little confused, and this nonsense kung fu became sharper and sharper.

The supervising imperial history was also a little confused, how could it sound like Qin Huaidao had suffered a loss?

But after thinking about it, he retorted: "King Han, the family of the bitter lord has proved that King Han's subordinates are like speculators. ”

"This king asks you, the law of Zhenguan stipulates that the family of the bitter lord may testify?"

"This ......" supervised the imperial history hesitated, he couldn't tell nonsense in front of the civil and military officials, in front of the saints, right?

Qin Huaidao took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Since the testimony of the bitter master's family is useless, if there is no direct evidence, this king will accuse them of false accusations according to the law according to what you just said, and the criminal department is still in the book?" ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department was a little confused, what do you care about?

But many people around him looked at it, and Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had to come out: "The lower officials participate in the King of Han." ”

"You're polite, Lord Liu, this king sued those businessmen for false accusations, and asked Lord Liu to investigate strictly and give the king justice, otherwise don't blame this king for his own action." Qin Huaidao said solemnly, as for the evidence, it is impossible, Luo Wu is very careful, it is impossible for a third party to be present, as for the testimony of the bitter master's family, it is useless.

Liu Dewei looked at Li Er with some embarrassment, and he didn't want to take this hot potato.

The supervising imperial history also had a bitter face, obviously impeaching Qin Huaidao, but it became Qin Huaidao's complaint to accuse the bitter lord of false accusations, and he couldn't get the evidence, and the bitter lord had to shed his skin if he didn't die, didn't he move a stone and hit his own feet?

Li Er naturally knew which bitter masters were standing behind the Shandong Shi clan and Jiangnan Shi clan, and it was very troublesome to deal with it badly, so he was silent with a cold face.

The hall suddenly became depressed.

Since Qin Huaidao made a move, of course he would not stop there, and said loudly: "What the Inspector Yushi just said is right, everything should be done according to the law, this king sued the governor of Huainan Province Gu Du Zongzi for murder, robbed the people's daughters, smashed the teahouse, made the people frightened, and damaged the majesty of the court. ”

"This ......" Dewei Lau secretly said that he was unlucky.

"What, don't pick up?" Qin Huaidao asked rhetorically, and seeing that the other party looked embarrassed, he continued: "Supervising the imperial history, didn't you say that you want to maintain the law of the imperial court and do everything according to the law?" Huainan Province Gu Du Governor Zongzi committed murder, if the criminal department does not care, is it dereliction of duty, or shielding? This is under your Imperial Authority, right? As he spoke, he looked at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng has a strong personality, dares to speak out, is most annoyed by lynching, upholds the law, pursues acting according to law, knows that it is time to express his position, and said loudly: "The king of Han is reasonable, since the court has set the law, it should be obeyed, no one is exempt, otherwise, where is the law?" Where does the majesty of the imperial court remain? Lord Liu, what do you say? ”

"Lord Wei is right to remind you, this official will strictly investigate." Liu Dewei stiffened his head and said, glancing at Li Er, who was sitting silently, uneasy, who would dare to investigate the governor of one party without a holy decree? Is it long?

On the royal steps, Li Er saw that Qin Huaidao had the initiative in a few words, which can be described as a group of Confucians, invincible, but unfortunately it has been centrifuged, and it is difficult to return to the original tacit understanding.

If it continues, it may be difficult to end, but there are some things Li Er can't say, so he can't help but look at King Jin, who is sitting silently below: "Zhi'er, what do you think?" ”
