The reason why Li Qing was so big was to see how King Ning reacted.

If King Ning had a clear conscience, he would never ignore him.

After all, he is a vassal king, or the first generation of vassal kings, although Li Qing is not an ordinary Qincha, and he is not qualified to let a vassal king come to see him.

On the contrary, if King Ruoning really has a ghost in his heart, he will definitely come to probe his tone so that he can prepare in advance.

In this way, no matter whether King Ning comes or not, Li Qing can be laid out in advance.

Speaking of which, King Ning is also unlucky enough, in the past, he had a great achievement at a young age, and he could have been a majestic vassal king who commanded the army and fought the border, but he met Jianwen.

Finally, Jianwen turned the muzzle of the gun and hit Zhu Di, but his three guards were fooled away by Zhu Di again.

I thought it was an investment, but it turned out to be a big pie.

It's just that you don't share the world, and even Suzhou and Hangzhou are not allowed.

The south of the Yangtze River is westerly and biased to the river. West, all to grandma's house.

Li Qing could imagine Xiao Seventeen's indignation, this matter was really not authentic.

But then again, Suzhou and Hangzhou are the richest in the world, and they really can't be used as vassal domains.

"Little Seventeen, Little Seventeen......" Li Qing sighed: "I hope you will listen to persuasion." ”

King Ning has a credit to Sheji, Li Qing doesn't want to really go online, the sea ban will be liberated in a few years, as long as the past few years are more peaceful, don't take the lead in disagreeing with the court.

As for the people under King Ning, Li Qing also had the same plan.

There is really no need to kill this kind of thing.

Sitting alone in the guest hall for a while, Li Qing went to the east wing.

The three girls made the bed again, took off their boots and played chess on the bed, and they all relied on this to relieve their boredom all the way.

"Jumping horse, cannon ......" Li Qing watched the chess gibberish, forgetting that he was a stinky chess basket.

In the end, it was no surprise that he successfully lost the command of Reika.

Lianxiang was so depressed that she couldn't do it, "Sir, look at you, the concubine may not necessarily lose." ”

Li Qing's face was hot, and he sneered: "This one doesn't count, let's do it again." ”

"Then sir, come down." Reika wants to abuse the food.

"Cheng, come on!" Li Qing readily agreed.

As a result, he lost badly.

"Play Go."

Or lose.

"You guys have fun." Li Qing had to accept the fact that his level was poor, and he turned to read books without any sense of experience.

……

The next day, Li Qing slept until midnight before getting up.

Dongchang fans gathered, and when they saw him go out, they all bowed their hands: "I've seen the Marquis of Yongqing." ”

"Well, there's nothing to do for the time being, you just wait here first, and take turns to eat when it's time to eat." Li Qing gave an order, then turned around and went back to the wing.

After washing, Li Qing thought about going out to eat something, and brought some back to the third daughter by the way, but as soon as he came to the door, he met Wang Yuan, the county magistrate.

"The lower officials see Lord Qincha." Wang Yuan bowed.

"No courtesy." Li Qing asked, "People brought it?" ”

Wang Yuan nodded, "Now the torture room." ”

"Lead the way."

~

Torture chamber.

Li Qing came to the table and sat down, and Wang Yuan poured hot tea in a hurry.

"What about people?" Li Qing didn't care about drinking tea.

"Right now, right now." Wang Yuan nodded, turned around and flattered his expression, and put on the county master's shelf, "Bring that gold ingot." ”

"Yes, sir."

After a while, Wang Yuan was brought to the front.

"The grass people meet the eldest master," Jin Yuanbao was born with fine skin and tender meat, but it gave people a straightforward image that had never seen the world, he didn't look at Li Qing, knelt down and kowtowed, and looked at Wang Yuan, "Dare to ask my lord, what crime did the grass people commit?" ”

"You made a mistake...... Wang Yuan stuck and cleared his throat, "That, this is Lord Qincha next to this official, what do you answer." ”

"It turned out to be Lord-sama Chincha." The gold ingots were suddenly, and he hurriedly kowtowed again, "Meet Master Qincha." ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Qing's mouth: This person is a little smart, but not much......

For a person of this level, Li Qing didn't even bother to use his brain, and said directly: "Jin Youzi, a cabinet scholar, was sent to prison on suspicion of harboring smuggling. ”

"Huh?"

Just one sentence shocked the gold ingots and messed up.

It took him a while before he reacted and forced his composure, "Xiaomin is related to Lord Jin, but he didn't participate in the smuggling business!" ”

"Nonsense." Before Li Qing could speak, Wang Yuan became angry first, "When the matter comes, do you still have to quibble, this official has already mastered the evidence of your smuggling, and it is not as good as the truth." ”

Li Qing glanced at Wang Yuan, raised his glass and took a sip of tea, and did not deny Wang Yuan's words.

Unexpectedly, Jin Yuan Bao was not afraid at all, and even rebelled against the army, "Dare to ask the master, where is the evidence?" ”

"You... Execution, execution, ......! Wang Yuan was furious.

Li Qing pursed his lips, the level of this county order is too low, right?

Even if it's only one-tenth of the level of sycophancy, it's not like that.

The official on the side stepped forward, pressed the gold ingots to the ground, and was about to hit the board.

"Wait." Jin Yuan Bao held back his anger and said, "Lord Zhixian, have you thought about it?" ”

"This official ......" Wang Yuan choked for a moment, and snorted: "Your smuggling of porcelain, the official has already investigated, and the official has the right to ask about the stubborn suspects." ”

"The grass people are still the same sentence, where is the evidence of the crime?" Jin Ingot was very tough, "If the real evidence is conclusive, the county magistrate will beat the grass people to death, and the grass people will admit it, but if there is no ...... He will definitely file a complaint and sue the Jingshi. ”

"You ......" Wang Yuan was so angry that he trembled, but he couldn't say a word.

Li Qing can see that the two must have been involved in bribery, but no one dares to break it, and he understands that there are people on the gold ingot, not only Jin Youzi.

However, it doesn't matter, no matter how hard the backstage of this gold ingot is, it is not as hard as his backstage.

Li Qing put down the teacup, walked to the gold ingots and squatted down, and said gently: "Ben Qincha likes to open people, if you cooperate honestly, you will be safe, and vice versa......."

The voice turned slightly colder: "Whether you can get out alive or not is not certain." ”

"Although you are the master of Qincha, you can't ignore the laws of the Ming Dynasty." The gold ingots were respectful, but they were still tough, "The grass people are not guilty." ”

Li Qing sneered, raised his hand and pulled at his neckline, peeling off the cloth on the outside, revealing a delicate silk coat, "The Great Ming Law contains clear text,

Farmers are allowed to wear yarn and silk cloth, but merchants are only allowed to wear cloth, and if there is one person in the farmer's family who is doing business, they are also not allowed to wear yarn;

Isn't that a crime? ”

Li Qing said coldly, "During the Hongwu period, a merchant was chopped off by Taizu just because he embroidered a pattern on his shoes. ”

The "grass people......" gold ingots instantly became dumb, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Shang Jia couldn't wear silk, he naturally knew, and he didn't dare to wear it in broad daylight, so he secretly wore it at home, but he was forcibly dragged out by the officials in the middle of the night, and he only had time to put on a cloth coat at that time, and he didn't expect this layer at all.

"Master spare your life, spare your life, ......!" The gold ingots are really scared this time, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

Can you not be afraid, to put it seriously, he is guilty of trespassing.

Li Qing didn't want to go online in this kind of thing, because he felt that Lao Zhu's regulations were unreasonable.

Although the common people can wear silk and silk, they can't afford it, and the merchants can afford it, but they can't wear it, which is really a bit ...... Unreasonable.

Li Qing also suggested that Lao Zhu should not be too strict in regulating the clothing of the people, but he was rejected by the stubborn Lao Zhu.

However, Lao Zhu is not sincere in making fun of people, the reason why there is such a rule is because Lao Zhu was born in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

At that time, the poor people couldn't eat, but the rich gentry and landlords were all richly dressed and wore gold and jade, and they were even no different from the princes.

Lao Zhu believes that the rich are extremely poor and luxurious, and the poor cannot even eat, which will cause national instability.

Moreover, he felt that the rich were so extravagant, almost no different from the princes, and they couldn't do it without being inferior and inferior, and the fall of the Yuan Dynasty had a lot to do with this.

As a result, Lao Zhu made extremely nuanced regulations on the people's clothing.

For example, the color and fabric of clothes are used to distinguish farmers and industrialists; The people shall not use gold, jade, or pearls...... To make jewelry, only silver can be used.

Lao Zhu did this in order to divide the classes and consolidate the imperial power.

To be honest, this trick is very effective, but it is also equivalent to turning back the clock in history.

Since the death of Qin II and the complete collapse of slavery, feudal dynasties began to rise, and with the change of dynasties, the overall social atmosphere was developing towards openness, especially in the Tang Dynasty.

The openness of the atmosphere is not too much weaker than that of later generations.

Until the Song Dynasty, this kind of openness was maintained, and the Yuan Dynasty began to reverse, and the Ming Dynasty drove back on the basis of the Yuan Dynasty.

Qing Dynasty ...... It is even more serious, it can't help but completely enslave the people, and it also comes to a closed country.

The Ming Dynasty's forbidden sea is basically dead in name, in fact, the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty have basically not been broken, and the sea ban of the Qing Dynasty, he is really forbidden.

In fact, if all dynasties had continued the Han and Tang dynasties and gradually opened up, they would have reached the openness of later generations.

Of course, in that case, the feudal dynasty would probably have ended long ago.

However, if it is really to liberate the minds of the people in this Ming Dynasty, it will be a blessing or a curse, and Li Qing will not be able to make a decision.

Li Qing retracted his flying thoughts, raised his hand and patted the face of the gold ingot, "Let me ask you, is there indirect smuggling?" ”

"Not really!" Jin Yuan Bao shook his head desperately, "Master Qincha Mingjian, the clothes of the grass people are... The tailor shop used the wrong material, and the grass people were reluctant to throw it away, so they were confused for a while...... The grass people assured that they had never crossed it outside. ”

Li Qing didn't bother to care about this, so he leaned closer and said softly: "Don't pretend, your real backstage is King Ning, right?" ”

"What?"

The gold ingot's small eyes instantly widened, and his face was full of horror, "You... How did you ......"

"As long as you do what I say, I'll keep you safe." Li Qing smiled, "How?" ”

In fact, Li Qing didn't know that he was blind, but he was not blind.

The biggest smuggling leader is King Ning, and Hongdu is only more than 200 miles away from Xingan, and it is impossible for him to be indifferent to such a large shipment of porcelain as gold ingots.

Indeed, the real owner of gold ingots is not Jin Youzi and Yang Rong, but King Ning.

Jin Yuan Bao is in a dilemma, if he takes refuge in Qincha, he will not be able to live after Qincha leaves, but if he does not take refuge in Qincha, he will die now.

"The grass people listen to the old man." Adhering to the concept that being able to live for a while is a moment, Jin Yuan agreed happily and said flatteringly, "I hope that after the fact, Master Qin will forgive." ”
