"What's wrong with Su Fu?"

Several salt merchants outside the gate of Sufu looked at the plaques with white flowers and white cloth hanging everywhere, and looked curious and puzzled.

Then he paced in, and saw a large family in Su Fu, all kneeling on the ground wearing linen and filial piety.

Tears, snot, and cries came and went.

"Brother Su, who has passed away?"

"Alas! You don't know, yesterday the old lady heard the news of the sharp drop in salt prices, and was excited for a while, trembling a few times, and then drove to the west. ”

"When I saw Master Su some time ago, he was obviously very healthy, why didn't he see him for a few days, so he ......"

Although the death of Master Su had nothing to do with them, they told him in their hearts that the incident was inseparable from the Li Gongzi behind the servant!

"Since you have indirectly killed the old lady and cheated us for so much money, how can my Su family not do it!"

"Yes, this time they actually pitted us so badly, we must not let them go easily!"

"My wife is separated and I owe a lot of debts, I must ask them for an explanation today!"

The salt merchants roared loudly, venting their anger and dissatisfaction in their hearts!

"Everyone, please wait a minute, Su also contacted the local county official, we will carry the coffin on the road together, and they will definitely give us an explanation!"

Dou Xing bowed his head and said with a fierce face.

......

"My lord died so unjustly!"

"Murder for money is not tolerated!"

I saw a group of people carrying coffins, wearing linen and filial piety, and striding in the direction of their mansion.

"Why are these salt merchants in the lead?"

Li Xian's heart was beating a little faster, isn't this the Su family and the rest of the salt merchants who were pitted very badly by them!

But why still carry the coffin? Do you want him to pay back the money or want him to die?

He did cheat them a little money, but there was no need to make such a big fuss, right?

"This is the residence of the imperial court, and people stop coming!" The guards of the mansion drew their sabers and threatened them with fierce faces.

Seeing that a group of people were about to break into the mansion, the heartfelt guards hurriedly went up to stop them.

"Li Shilang, if you don't restrain your eldest son and let him come out to cheat, you must give us all an explanation today, if you don't return the money to us, then there will never be peace in your house!"

......

In a moment, Li Xian's father, the official of the imperial court, walked out slowly and violently.

"Who are you waiting for, dare to make a big noise, and you, you are not a county official? Just connived at these people to talk nonsense in front of my house?

What does it have to do with my eldest son? ”

"My lord, I don't dare. It's just that the son of the Su family came to the government to report the case, saying that your family cheated money and indirectly killed Mrs. Su, so he accompanied this group of people to investigate the matter, but he never instigated this group of people to talk nonsense! ”

"My lord."

The county magistrate had no choice but to get out of his mind.

Is it ......?

He looked up at the stupid son standing next to him, and then at the crowd in front of him, and suddenly realized.

It turned out that this was all set up by His Royal Highness, and they asked Sima Shao to stab him in the back!

No wonder Sima Shao was so kind-hearted and handed over such a lucrative business to a few of them to do, it turned out that the black face let them do it!

Zero Risk, High Reward!

"Hey......!"

Li Shilang, who understood what was going on, let out a long sigh!

knew that he had asked Sima Shao to calculate, but now, he had to carry this black cauldron if he didn't carry it!

Now you can provoke anyone, but you can't anger Your Highness!

He is now a big celebrity around the emperor, although he calculated it this time, but he also gave hundreds of thousands of taels in compensation!

If you still want to soar from your own son in the future, you can't tear your face with him, and you have to continue to count on him!

Li Shilang, who is helpless, even if he knows that his son is innocent, he can only admit it!

Seeing that his face was full of sadness, Dou Xing pointed to Li Shilang's nose and said, "This matter must be settled today, otherwise, we people are not vegetarians!"

"Dad, these people have wronged me!"

Seeing his father's face pale, he was terrified!

"Xian'er is not afraid, father protects you, these black-hearted salt merchants actually dare to raise prices, you are doing the right thing, if you are a father, you will do the same!"

Since Sima Shao can't afford to provoke him, it is impossible to repay the money, so he will fight with these salt merchants to the end!

In this way, not only Sima Shao's side will not be offended, but he can also earn a good reputation for his son, why not!

"Come on, quickly arrest these people and take them to the government, not only maliciously slander, but also raise prices, and bring them back to be punished one by one after trial."

"No."

......

"What's the matter with me?"

Seeing Li Xian, Zhang Jun and others hurriedly coming, Sima Shao slowly spoke.

He probably guessed a few points about the purpose of these two people's coming, but he still remained silent and listened first.

"I came here this time, mainly because I want to ask His Highness to help solve it!"

Li Xian's attitude was very respectful, and he was always humble in front of Sima Shao, not a high-ranking son.

"If you have something to say, don't beat around the bush!"

"This ,...!"

Li Xian's eyes looked around, with a look of embarrassment.

"Don't talk nonsense, there are no outsiders here, there is something but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"That's the case, today the Su family and several major salt merchants came to my mansion to make trouble, and my father ordered him to be taken to the official prison to be dealt with. We didn't dare to deal with it lightly, so my father sent me to ask His Highness's opinion. ”

Since Sima Shao said so, he naturally didn't want to hide anything, so he hurriedly told today's events in the most concise words, and then looked at Zhao Yin expectantly.

"How many people? The leader is the Su family? ”

"That's right, it's the Su family, and there are probably more than 100 people in seventy-seven, eighty-eight."

Li Xian hurriedly nodded.

"It must be the Su family's gossip to confuse the public, if I were you, I would immediately interrogate the people of the Su family, and I would definitely be able to judge something, whoever bewitched the people would be pulled out and cut down, and the rest of the people naturally didn't dare to say more!"

"Huh?"

After hearing his words, Li Xian was shocked, he couldn't have imagined that the matter would be so serious.

Even Zhang Jun and the surrounding maids who were present were shocked by his words.

Although His Highness usually has no scruples about doing things, he is not a person who kills, and this time he took the initiative to kill people and kill people, which is really worthy of His Highness.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your advice."

After pondering for a moment, a determined look appeared in Li Xian's eyes, and he bowed deeply to Sima Shao again before leaving quickly.

Inside the Yamen prison.

"There are a total of one hundred and thirty-seven people, including thirty-four from the Su family."

The steward in the prison was reporting to Li Xian, Zhang Jun and others on the progress of their investigation during this time.

"Escort all the people of the Su family out for a separate trial!"

"No."

"The rest of the people must have been bewitched by the Su family, and after the investigation, there is nothing to do, and they can leave after paying the fine."

"I'll give it, my lord, I'll give it now!"

"My lord, I'll give 200 taels to redeem myself now."

.....

Although they survived, their hearts were still dripping blood.

It's all white money! Just this is in the hands of the pit, how can this make them willing?
