Chapter 249: He Laosan
When he opened the door, Lan Bin saw Jiang Xuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, pulling and pulling with a man in linen clothes, and stepped forward and said, "Brother Jiang, what's going on?"
At this time, when he was outside, and Zhu Yuanzhang was in the private room, he naturally would not break Jiang Xuan's official position and attract people's attention.
Jiang Xuan was a little unnatural, when he went to invite the man in linen clothes in front of him just now, he didn't cooperate, in order to achieve his goal. A little intimidation with a knife.
and then they brought him outside the private room.
I thought he had given in, but when he got to the outside of the private room, he suddenly made a fuss again and lured Lan Bin out.
If it is just to lure Lan Bin out, it doesn't matter, the key is that Lan Bin comes out, which means that Zhu Yuanzhang in the private room will also know.
I didn't do such a trivial thing well, so what face did I have to see Zhu Yuanzhang as the commander of the dignified brocade guard?
Thinking about it, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't mention it, the master wants to see this kid, I'll go and ask him to come up." At first, it was quite cooperative, but when it came to the place, it made a fuss!"
"Are you please? You're driving me with a knife!" The man said angrily.
He didn't actually dare to make a fuss, but when he saw that he was being taken into the private room, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to get out if he entered.
Especially the person who brought him here was so unfriendly that he took out all the knives.
I couldn't help but make a big fuss and save myself.
Jiang Xuan's face changed slightly, and he glared at the man: "You say it again!"
As he spoke, his hand inadvertently rested on the handle of the knife at his waist.
You have the ability not to use the knife, see if I dare to say it!
When the man saw it, he looked at Jiang Xuan angrily for a moment, but still closed his mouth.
He wasn't afraid of Jiang Xuan, he was just fainting and didn't want to see blood.
Lan Bin didn't care about the relationship between Jiang Zhen and the man in linen clothes, he just glanced at the two of them and interjected, "Brother Jiang, Master Huang is waiting! Take him in!"
"Boy, go in, be careful to speak, otherwise..." Jiang Xuan nodded, and when he looked at the man again, he was worried that he would say the wrong thing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and sue himself, so he deliberately made a fierce motion to wipe his neck.
The latter swallowed hard, tilted his head to the side, and nodded his head inadvertently.
Lan Bin didn't stop all this, let alone speak for the man, first, he didn't know the man, there was no need to fight with the commander of the Jinyi Guard for a stranger.
Second, he could see that Jiang Xuan was scaring the man, and he didn't really want to kill the man for a trivial matter.
Of course, the premise is that the man will not be stupid and give Jiang Zhen eye medicine in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Thirdly, he felt that it was better to let Jiang Zhen scare and scare the man, so as not to offend Jiang Zhen by talking nonsense when he was facing the saint.
Jiang Zhen is not a good person, if the man offends Jiang Xuan, even if he is okay now, he will be okay in the future.
Maybe it might even endanger his life.
Thinking about it, he saw that the man nodded in agreement before he said, "Okay, come in with me!"
The sound fell, turned around and walked into the private room with Jiang Zhen and the man.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Lan Bin and the others, and did not ask what happened outside the private room just now, but beckoned to the man in sackcloth: "This brother, come and sit."
"Let you go, and you go!"
The man looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and then at Jiang Xuan, and under the latter's glare, he slowly came to the stool next to the tea table pointed by Zhu Yuanzhang and sat down.
But he only sat on half of his ass, and he looked extra restrained and nervous.
Zhu Yuanzhang said with Yan Yuese: "Brother Tai, don't be nervous, let's ask people to invite you over, there is nothing else, I just want to talk to you."
"You... What do you want to talk about?" The man may have been infected by Zhu Yuanzhang's pleasant face, relaxed a little, and stammered.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very skillful and talked to the man, asking him his name, occupation, how many people in the family, etc., and got the information that the man's name was He Laosan, the owner of a small cloth village, and there were five people in the family.
Seeing that He Laosan was completely relaxed, he asked with a smile, "He Laosan, right! There are no outsiders here, tell us if you think the imperial court should levy commercial taxes?"
He Laosan was a little stunned, when he was forced with a knife just now, he thought that he had invisibly offended some dignitaries and caused trouble. But he never expected that the person in front of him would find himself just to ask such a question.
The most important thing is that he also recognized it at this time, and the old man who asked him the question, who seemed to be outside the teahouse, also asked this question. Look at the book
It's just that at that time, he saw that there were many people around him, and he didn't dare to talk openly about the government, for fear of causing trouble, so he ignored it.
Who knows, in the end, this question will still have to be answered, and in the current situation.
Thinking about the remorse in my heart, I couldn't believe it, "You brought me here just to ask this?"
"Let's talk about it! What do you think of the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
He Laosan regretted it even more in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, and said cautiously: "Personally, I support the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes!"
"Support? What do you think of you?" Zhu Yuanzhang was almost instinctively skeptical.
