Chapter 46: The Smuggler
The token bordered by gold wire and embedded with the black phoenix is only one person who dares to use it today, and it is since she started that there is such a token, that is, the queen mother. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Emperor Tianlong died three years ago, the young emperor ascended the throne, only eight years old, for three years is the queen mother to listen to the government, this Tianlong is now listening to the emperor or listening to the queen mother, it's really hard to say.
"How is it? Do you want to continue to recite your secret decree?" Tao Ran asked.
Lou Wanshan's swollen face was like a blue and purple, and at this time he looked at the token on the ground with a disbelieving expression: "Impossible, this must be fake! Impossible! You dare to fake the token of the Queen Mother!"
Everyone was also a little puzzled, after all, who would dare to throw such a valuable thing around.
"This token old man is also destined to see it, and he can distinguish the real from the fake. Liu Zhixian took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's true!"
This time, everyone didn't know what their mood was, if this token was indeed true, then the sinners woven by Lou Wanshan would become a joke. Helping the royal family do things, isn't that just buying people's hearts for the royal invitation, buying people's hearts for the royal invitation, if you can still be convicted of rebellion, then you can only let the emperor arrest the queen mother.
Lou Wanshan's face is like ashes, this token has come true, and he has really become a big joke today.
"Okay, good!" Lou Wanshan looked around at everyone in the store, and everyone avoided his gaze, not daring to look at his resentful eyes.
In the end, he pointed his finger at Liu Zhixian, and a finger was about to poke him in the face, but Liu Zhixian was not like those businessmen, the most upright Zhixian was not called in vain, his waist was straight, and he looked at him directly.
But the righteousness is awe-inspiring, sometimes it may not be able to suppress all the demons and ghosts, at least it can't suppress this irrational Lou Gongzi.
"Lord Liu, according to the law of the Heavenly Dragon, what kind of crime should a commoner intend to murder an official of the imperial court?" Tao Ran grabbed Lou Wanshan's hand, and his hand had just been attached to Liu Zhixian's face.
"According to the law of the dragon, he was sentenced to be hanged. Liu Zhixian still had that calm appearance, as if from the moment he threw out the secret decree, there was nothing here that could move him.
Lou Wanshan's hand was tightly clamped by Tao Ran, and he couldn't go forward an inch. The movement was blocked, and the brain came back to consciousness, and the cold sweat flowed behind him, what were you doing?
After calming down, Lou Wanshan tried to withdraw his hand in vain, but his wrist was pinched steadily by Tao Ran, and he couldn't move even if he was imprisoned.
He looked up at Tao Ran's indifferent eyes, as if he was looking at a dead man, and his heart trembled.
But vainly trying to sentence himself to death on the charge of attacking officials is as unreliable as fabricating the crime of inviting people to buy people's hearts for him, but in the hands of people who have the heart and power, there will be great changes.
"Let go!" Lou Wanshan used a loud voice to hide the panic in his heart.
Tao Ran let go of his hand as he said, but Lou Wanshan didn't even expect that his angry shout would be so effective.
It turns out that he is nothing more than that, he thought to himself. The emperor in the Tianlong Palace is young, and the Queen Mother is in power, but she looks down on the merchants, and these "lowly" people are supervised by the palace supervisors.
In fact, Tao Ran's sentence "a royal dog" is really not wrong, isn't it just a dog that the emperor's subordinates are in charge of!
Thinking about it like this, this Tao Ran is probably also a small businessman who has found a way in the palace, and climbed up to a small manager on the side of the queen mother to get this brand. But how can such a secret transaction be compared to him, an orthodox imperial businessman.
Thinking that he had figured out the doorway, Lou Wanshan's face softened, and people really didn't dare to do anything to themselves.
"Hmph, this account, I have to settle it with you sooner or later!" Lou Wanshan flicked his sleeves and was about to go out when he went out, and his face was lost today.
"If you want to make a good deal, you don't have to do it sooner or later, just today, you can't leave anyway. Tao Ran said lightly.
The group of officials who he insisted on pulling him in, but they came to him with chains.
"What are you going to do?" Lou Wanshan was taken aback, even if he slapped the county order, what would it be? Relying on his connections in the Lou family in Beijing, they couldn't move themselves.
"Now this official suspects that you have falsely preached the holy decree and deceived the king! After I consult the center, go up to the Holy Hearing, and find out the truth, I will not be able to judge whether you will go or stay. Liu Zhixian said.
The shackles and chains were firmly buckled around his neck, and the weight of dozens of catties weighed down his waist.
Liu Zhixian bowed his hand to everyone present, which can be regarded as his farewell. Although Lou Wanshan struggled to step on and pedal, this wine-colored hollowed out body could release some strength, and he was supported by two strong catchers and left.
How this secret decree came about, Lou Wanshan knows it, and Liu Zhixian, who has been an official for decades, naturally knows better. His Majesty the Emperor is busy fighting crickets and watching tigers every day, how can he pay attention to businessmen like chicken feathers and garlic skins.
Eighty percent of this secret decree was issued by the chief eunuch in the palace, but it was indeed printed with the pattern of a jade seal. Liu Zhixian even suspected that the local town guards and eunuchs would have one or two blank secret decrees for them to doodle.
But this is like a headless case that has not been investigated, those eunuchs are royal people in the final analysis, and the emperor naturally has to maintain it, as long as he doesn't go too far, the emperor himself will admit it. Tracking down the authenticity of this kind of secret purpose, they have no way to start with these small local officials, even if they really ask about the Jinluan Palace, can the ugliness of the royal family have a good end?
But Tao Ran gave him a gesture of reassurance, although he didn't understand how he got on the line of the queen mother, but with this relationship, it was not a problem to treat an outdated imperial businessman.
Liu Zhixian thinks that he can't be a sage, so he is quite happy to see Lou Wanshan imprisoned.
The whole shop was quiet, and this farce ended like this. The invincible Lou Wanshan was planted on this gold-inlaid phoenix token.
The naked power struggle made these businessmen extremely frightened, either for the crime of rebellion, or for the crime of falsely preaching the holy decree, which is not a major crime of the Nine Clans!
This kind of thing is simply not something that they ordinary businessmen can imagine. Compared with this, when I made a fortune, I did those pickled things that deceived people and deceived people, and I really couldn't get on the table.
After a day of shock, how could those businessmen dare to talk to Tao Ran anymore, and after Liu Zhixian left, they all said goodbye.
"Do you really want to leave like this, I'm going to talk about our big business today!" Tao Ran said with a smile.
Everyone was stunned, if something like this happened, could they still sit down and talk about business?
"My lamps will be mass-produced, and it will depend on your business when the time comes. Tao Ran said sincerely, making everyone stop.
"Master Tao, how do you say that?" someone asked cautiously.
"Come on, come on, make money with kindness, sit down first, let's talk in detail, Shunzi! move the stool!" Tao Ran shouted.
Listening to the words "harmony makes money", they always feel awkward, but now it seems that they are indeed doing business.
Think about it, suppress one, make friends, the most important thing in business is connections, if you offend all people, this business will not be able to continue.
But they didn't know at all that Tao Ran had never been an orthodox businessman, he was a smuggler, a criminal!
