Chapter 337: Disputes

Gongsun Long couldn't help but say with some worry.

"But my lord, the other party is the Eighth Prince after all, if we don't respect him and make trouble with Your Majesty, it will definitely be bad for you."

Li Baiyi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, who told you that I didn't respect him, I just said that we enforce the law impartially. ”

"Isn't it wrong for us to enforce the law impartially?"

"We just don't let him have privileges, and I'm sure Your Majesty understands that."

"If you want people to live and work in peace, you should make them feel respected."

"In order to do this, being more disciplined in enforcing the law is obviously the most important part."

When Gongsun Long heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration when he looked at Li Baiyi, but when he thought of the possibility of a conflict with the Eighth Emperor, Gongsun Long couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Your Excellency, you have a point, but have you figured out a solution? What if His Majesty really goes to the Eighth Prince? ”

Li Baiyi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Although the person who came to deliver the message said that it was the Eighth Prince, let's stop." ”

"But the other party must be a fox and a fake tiger, the eighth prince, how can he tarnish his reputation for a little maid."

"Maybe until now, the Eighth Prince didn't know about this at all, and it's possible."

"If it's really the Eighth Prince doing this behind his back, we should be able to meet the Eighth Prince himself by now."

Gongsun Long thought about it and felt that what Li Baiyi said still made some sense.

"Since you have said so, my lord, then the lower official will be relieved."

Li Baiyi glanced at him up and down, and couldn't help but complain and said: "You, don't be so timid in doing things, this official is your backing." ”

"If you can't do anything with such a strong backing as me, don't you think you've failed what you've learned in your life."

When Gongsun Long heard this, he immediately felt very touched.

Li Baiyi's words made him feel stunned, and he finally knew what he should do.

"My lord, your words really make Xiaguan feel like an initiation."

"Xiaguan finally knows what he should do."

As he spoke, Gongsun Long seemed to hesitate, as if he had thought of something, and hesitated.

Li Baiyi smiled and said, "Did you think of your own weakness, that is, your family." ”

Gongsun Long nodded, and said with an ugly face: "Yes, my lord, even if the lower officials are willing to show up for fairness and justice, but the family members of the lower officials are not." ”

"After all, they are not involved in this matter, but the enemy will not necessarily let them go because of this, and the subordinates are worried that they may be affected."

When Li Baiyi heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Since you have promised to help me do things, then I will naturally help you solve these things." ”

"I am responsible for the protection of your family, although there are not many people in our town, but the resources that can be mobilized are countless."

"I still have the ability to protect your family members who are preparing for the county."

Gongsun Long let out a long breath and said, "My lord, do you think the Eighth Emperor is involved?" Although your analysis is very reasonable, Shimonoseki always feels unreliable. ”

Li Baiyi shook his head with a smile and said, "Although you can rest assured at this point, even if the Eighth Prince is a fool, it is impossible to rush to fight with me at this time." ”

"I was in the limelight in front of hundreds of officials before, and this time I beat those unscrupulous people at the banquet."

"I guess the Eighth Prince already understands how powerful I am, even if he is a fool, he won't come to fight me."

When Gongsun Long heard this, he couldn't help but feel the compliment in his heart and said, "My lord, the admiration of the lower officials for you is like the water of the Yellow River. ”

Li Baiyi waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, it's okay if others pat me on the back, what are you doing here with me in a weird way?" ”

"Okay, hurry up and tell me what the case of Zhang Yuanwai's family is, and what disputes have happened between the two sides."

"After chatting for so long, the official still doesn't know what happened, is it a bit dereliction of duty for you, who is a subordinate?"

Gongsun Long hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"My lord, I'll tell you more about this now."

"There is an ordinary farmer named Zhao Laohan, who has a daughter and a son at home."

"My son is quite competitive, he farms at home all the year round, and he can give the family a good harvest."

"My daughter looks quite smart, and she works very quickly."

"In the past, when the wind and rain were good, their family could have a good income."

"But isn't there a flood this year? They don't have a grain harvest at home. ”

"But the son of the old man's family wanted to marry a wife, so the family built a house."

"At the beginning of the year, in order to build this house, the family borrowed ten taels of silver from Zhang Yuanwai's family."

"I thought that this year's income from farming and some saved money would cover the loan."

But this year's floods disrupted the family's rhythm.

"The ten taels of silver they borrowed were not repaid."

"Originally, for their family, the remaining few taels of silver were not a lot of money, but at this time, Zhao Laohan's father was sick."

"In order to treat his father, Zhao Laohan borrowed another ten taels of silver, but Zhao Laohan's health is getting worse and worse."

"I borrowed a total of twenty taels of silver before and after, but the disease was not cured, but it was terminally ill."

"Originally, Zhao Laohan's father could still help others and earn some income for the family, but he couldn't afford to be sick, but instead of income, he owed a lot of debt."

"Now Zhao Laohan's whole family has collapsed, and his son is now working hard for other people's families to earn some hard-earned money, but after removing the daily food and drink, it is a drop in the bucket to repay the money."

"And the money lent to her family by Zhang Yuanwai's family has interest, but in a month, the interest has been doubled than the principal."

Hearing this, Li Baiyi couldn't help but stomp his feet and couldn't help but scold.

"With so much money, isn't that usury?"

"When did they report to the authorities? That's the dispute you talked about earlier? ”

Li Baiyi's face became more and more ugly.

"If this kind of thing is not handled well, it is likely to kill people."

"How did you deal with this? How to reconcile this kind of thing, even if it is a settlement, let them cut the interest significantly. ”

"And then we have to stop increasing interest and give them time to repay the principal."

Gongsun Long looked at Li Baiyi and said with a wry smile.

"My lord, this is only part of the dispute, and the contradiction of the problem now is not about money."
