Chapter 43: Rumors

As the so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, Tao Ran thought that his wall had not yet been piled up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But that has been divided into commercial forces, and the ground piles laid are enough to alert many businessmen in Siping.

In just a few days, the mysterious line swept away more than 200,000 taels of silver, and anyone would be red-eyed. Sooner or later, this crisis will erupt sooner or later, whether Tao Ran is present or not. The profiteering business is either involved in the black, or it is shared, and everyone gets rich until it becomes a small profit.

Although Tao Ran has a good reputation among the common people, it is only limited to ordinary people, and there is no moral high point for their rich merchants and gentry. It's just that Tao Ran disappeared, without the name of "charity", and if he started to do it, the people's discussion would be smaller.

Liu Zhixian can't suppress this group of red-eyed businessmen, and it is very difficult for officialdom to interfere in the legal transactions of the people. I don't know how many high-ranking officials and nobles are behind these wealthy businessmen, and the name of a county order in his district really can't affect their decision.

This is a sad phenomenon, the prestige of the two is in the people, water can carry the boat and can overturn the boat, although the people are fundamental, but most of the time, they are as good as water, they have not forced them to the last step, and they will never condense into strength.

It is often only a small number of people who are really wielding the whip of power, and now they are all on the opposite side, including Tianlong, the largest landlord.

Liu Zhixian looked at the secret decree on the table, his lips turned white with anger, and his whole body trembled with excitement.

"Shaft!" Liu Zhixian scolded angrily, but his throat was full of helplessness.

"Grace comes from the top" This is a major law that the feudal dynasty must implement in order to maintain its own dominance. To control the people, in addition to controlling their clothing, clothing, housing and transportation, the most cost-effective thing is to control their thoughts, and a common people who maintain awe and love for the royal family will never fight with the forbidden army with a hoe. Every disaster year, the imperial court needs the emperor's approval to send food for disaster relief. After receiving the food, the victims shouted "Long live" to express their gratitude.

"Grace comes from above", so all large-scale disaster relief activities need to be led by the emperor, otherwise you will buy people's hearts and wait for you to rebel?

"What a big hat!" Liu Zhixian sighed to the sky, can't this group of black-hearted businessmen keep a good person?

Although this crime exists, there are not many cases even in history, and even if there are a few cases, they are all victims of power struggles within the great walls of the imperial city.

For example, in this place, when someone donates money, the local county officials are naturally eager, and which elm pimple really goes to Beijing to sue the emperor, shouting that there is a rebellion in our county that invites people to buy people's hearts.

But in addition to his county order, Siping has another person who can go directly to the Holy Hearing, and the secret decree is that Lou Wanshan, Lou Dagongzi invited. As an imperial businessman, the Lou family can have a special channel to contact the palace, and Liu Zhixian is not surprised at all.

The reason why this letter is a secret decree, not a holy decree, is that it is only to invite him to suppress the county decree, and they also know that this crime is indeed ridiculous, as long as their own county decree does not act, they have a way to deal with the poor family.

The dignified family, in terms of the identity of the imperial businessman, is more than a million gold, and even this 200,000 taels of silver has to be put in his eyes.

......

"How is it? Those words have spread, right?" Lou Wanshan took his small teapot and sat on the chair and drank tea leisurely.

"It's all scattered, Gongzi Gaoming, when this word spreads, this Tie family is afraid that he won't even dare to go out, it's really going to be ten miles against the wind and smell!"

"Hmph, that old immortal toast doesn't eat and drink, since he doesn't sell it, then he won't get a penny. Lou Wanshan patted the armrest of the chair, and his face turned hideous.

......

Tie Qingqing didn't dare to go out now, and as soon as she went out, there were rotten vegetable leaves on the street to greet her.

The little girl was fed up with grievances, and worried about Brother Tao's safety, and finally fell ill.

The Tiewang clan shuttled between the two patients, and if it weren't for the three little offspring of Junzi to take care of her, she would have gone crazy.

Recently, some rumors have come out of nowhere in Siping City, saying that the Tie family wants to take advantage of Tao Ran's disappearance and want to embezzle the secret recipe of the mysterious line and those precious lamps.

These words really stirred up a thousand waves, Tao Ran has been missing for seven days, and there is less discussion about him, but now he has been pushed to the forefront again.

The property of the great good man was about to be embezzled? This was repaid, and many people poured into the store that day and smashed it to pieces. I don't know if they came to protect the property of the "good man" or to demolish the property of the "good man".

It wasn't for the fish pond, the people beat them, and the rumor-mongers didn't even let the three of them go.

From the time the three of them entered the city, washing dishes, washing dishes, eating leftovers in the restaurant, and then working in a mysterious business, the past of the three of them was all dug up. Then after careful arrangement by someone with a heart, it became an excellent negative story: it is said that the three of them were under the care of Tao Ran, from picking up leftovers to worry-free food and clothing, but evil thoughts were born in their hearts. The daughter of the Tie family was originally promised to Tao Ran, but she was a water-based poplar flower, and she hooked up with these three young people, intending to seek Tao Ran's family property.

As soon as he heard these rumors, Tie Qingqing was about to go out to reason with them, but before he could speak, he was scolded and cried by the group of people on the street with a sentence of "dang woman".

What made her feel even more chilling was that those who had been neighbors with them and lived in a compound scolded particularly fiercely, and even took the lead in smashing her with rotten vegetable leaves, and it seemed that she had also been a woman in the yard.

Just yesterday, they flatteringly comforted their family, and when they left, they also took a fresh fish from the family. Tie Qingqing thought that his family had never treated them badly, why did they treat us like this?

"Child, there is a thing called jealousy, the closer you get, the stronger the jealousy!" Tie Wang red-eyed, helping his daughter clean up her messy hair.

Lao Tie's face lying on the side not only did not improve, but became even paler, this white, white and weak, white and desperate.

Today, the apprentices who had been following him to strike iron did not come to say hello, he knew that those children were good children, and he was afraid that his family would not let them come.

ungrateful, corrupt women's morality, evil slaves and bullying masters, there is a moral bottom line hidden behind every rumor, this time people are going to put their family to death!

"Bang bang bang" knocked on the door again, the Iron King clan was like a frightened bird, hugged his daughter who was already wooden and cried bitterly, these black-hearted eunuchs looked for them three times a day, when is it a head!
