Chapter 16: Yielding
Zhao Han poured himself a drink, and then played with the white jade cup and asked, "What's the matter with them?" ”
"The housekeeper of the Gu family said that their master went to the field to discuss business, and the head of the Liu family was sick, saying that he couldn't even get up from bed, as for the remaining Sun family and the Wang family, the two housekeepers only said that their head of the family had something to do, and nothing else."
Zhao Han couldn't help but sneer, "Father-in-law Leng, listen, this Wang family and the Sun family are simply too lazy to be perfunctory!" ”
Although he smiled, it made Father-in-law Leng couldn't help but shiver, Zhao Han continued to talk to himself: "That's it, since they don't have time, but this palace has time." ”
"The palace will personally go to their house, Father-in-law Leng, let's drive!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Hannai is the crown prince of the queen's concubine, and now he is the crown prince of the prison appointed by the emperor himself, so he naturally can't be lazy when he leaves the palace!
Father-in-law Leng hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the dragon chase, which was pulled by the best sweat and blood BMW, and then he ordered two hundred of the most elite dragon guards, led by him and four dragon guards, to escort Zhao Han out of the palace.
This mighty convoy of princes caused an uproar as soon as they left the palace.
According to Zhao Han's order, the convoy was mighty and went straight to the Gu family, which was closest to the palace!
Because this was not a private visit to Weifu, no matter where the prince went, the people along the way knelt on both sides of the road with a panicked face, and they didn't even have the courage to look up.
As soon as he arrived outside the Gu Mansion, the palace maid in the dragon chariot respectfully lifted the curtain for him.
Looking at this Gu Mansion, which covers a wide area and is luxuriously decorated, Zhao Han was amazed: "Father-in-law Leng, look at it, what a luxurious mansion this is, to have such a mansion in the capital, I think someone who has come to Gu Mansion must have achieved fame, right?" ”
Father-in-law Leng rode a horse and waited beside him, and when he heard this, he replied respectfully: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, according to the laws of Dajiang, all the sons and heirs of merchants have no right to participate in scientific expeditions. ”
Of course, Zhao Han knew that his eyes were cold and terrifying, and he sneered: "That's why this palace sighed, since ancient times, it has been said that farmers and businessmen are the lowest ranks. ”
According to the law, merchants were not only required to pay the heaviest taxes, but they were also allowed to wear sackcloth and enjoy the worst treatment. I remember that the land buying and selling in the capital was divided according to status. ”
"But look at it, a lowly businessman can afford to live in such a luxurious mansion, or under the nose of this palace!"
Father-in-law Leng understood what he meant, but the capital was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but the Gu family violated the laws of Dajiang in a grand manner.
At this time, the gate of the Gu family suddenly opened, and dozens of people walked out quickly, kneeling in front of Zhao Han's dragon chariot with a plop.
"Gu Min'an, the grass people, brought the old and young in the mansion to meet His Royal Highness the Prince."
Zhao Han didn't go down, sat on the car and looked down at him condescendingly, and said coldly: "Gu Min'an, didn't you go to other places to talk about business?" Why did you come back so soon? Could it be that you have any magical powers? ”
"I really didn't expect to miss a talent like you, I knew that you should be recruited into the army, and the frontier is lacking in your talent to send a message!"
Gu Min'an was so frightened that he even sweated out, and he didn't think about simply hiding in the mansion, so he pretended that he was not there.
But as soon as he heard that there were two hundred dragon guards following Zhao Han, he came out hard.
After all, the Dragon Guard is a famous god of killing, and yesterday even the house of the head of the household was raided, and he couldn't hide!
But when you come out, how do you explain that you haven't been to another place?
Gu Min'an's head was sweating, and he stammered: "Caomin...... Grass Folk ......"
"Min'an, what a good name, it seems that the previous head of the Gu family has great expectations for you!"
The corners of Zhao Han's mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile, "It's a pity, he saw the wrong person!" ”
Zhao Han took a good look at Gu Min'an's family from top to bottom, and said in amazement: "Look at your clothes, they are really good materials, they seem to be the famous splendid scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, right?" I heard that such a splendid horse costs a tael of gold, and this palace has only seen it on the body of the queen mother. ”
"Look at the crown on your head, I'm afraid this Nanzhu will also cost a lot of silver, and it looks better than the color on this palace."
Speaking of this, Zhao Han's eyes already appeared with a murderous intention, "Shinong businessmen, businessmen have the lowest status, they can only wear linen clothes, and they can't own land in the capital!" The horizontal and vertical of the house cannot exceed 100 meters! ”
"Gu Min'an, you have the audacity to make the palace bow down, you are ignoring the laws of the river!"
Hearing Zhao Han's words, Gu Min'an was so frightened that he shivered, and cold sweat crackled down!
He noticed that many dragon guards' blades had been unsheathed, and the Gu family behind him had never seen such a scene, and they were also trembling with fright!
Gu Minan didn't expect that he just listened to the orders of the officials who had protected his business in the past, and did not go to the palace for a banquet, but he attracted the prince!
That's right, from ancient times to the present, the treatment of merchants has always been like this, but the Dajiang Dynasty has been standing for more than 500 years, and it has been going downhill in recent decades, and the royal family is too busy to take care of itself, how can they still have the energy to care about the food and clothing of merchants?
So these businessmen have long been slack, they make so much money, why can't they use it for enjoyment?
didn't expect that these things they ignored today would kill them!
"Grass Folk ......"
Gu Min'an's brain was running rapidly, and he wanted to find an excuse to escape this catastrophe, but he committed a capital crime, how could he escape with a reason?
In the end, he could only keep kowtowing in fear, and begged for mercy with tears in his eyes: "Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to raise his noble hand and spare the lives of the sinners' family!" The sinners are willing to donate their entire possessions to atone for their sins! ”
As long as he can escape this catastrophe, he can make a comeback with the money hidden in the foreign bankers!
thought that Zhao Han would let them go when he tasted the sweetness, but Zhao Han only sneered.
"Atonement for your sins with all your wealth? When you are convicted, all your family property will be confiscated! ”
Without waiting for Gu Min'an to say anything more, Zhao Han stared at him and said coldly: "This palace doesn't want to know whose order you have received to dare to disobey this palace now, now this palace only wants the entire capital to know that you will violate the laws of the Great River and deceive this palace!" ”
"Since you don't come to the banquet at noon, you will definitely not miss the beheading at noon!"
Gu Min'an almost fainted, he was covered in a cold sweat, looked at the fierce dragon guards who surrounded them in the middle, and understood that Zhao Han was not just talking.
The prince really wanted to kill them!
At this time, many Gu family members were already in tears, and some people were so frightened that they had a nervous breakdown, and they actually scolded: "You mediocre prince! Our Gu family are all businessmen! If you careless of human life, you will be punished sooner or later! ”
