"It's just that my boss is busy with official business, so if you want anything, just let me negotiate."
Zhang San said, coldly: "But if you want to bargain, then don't do it."
"Buy or buy, why can't you bargain?" Luo Zheng asked rhetorically.
Zhang San glanced at him and said impatiently: "You are just ignorant. Haven't you heard that this week there is going to be a war with the rebels in Ningyuan Prefecture. Horses are in short supply now. This is the one you want to buy. If you don't want to buy it, I'm still waiting for the price to rise to sell it to Su Yi, the Grain and Forage Officer of Da Zhou."
When Luo Zheng heard this, he glanced at Su Yi and continued to ask: "Su Yi? Are you talking about Mr. Su, the minister of Taipu Temple?"
"That's right."
Zhang San took a sip of tea and said with disdain: "What kind of Temple Minister? He is the abandoned son-in-law of the Bai family who came from Taiyang Mansion. He got this position only because of bad luck. Speaking of Taipu Temple Minister, our boss Zhang San Your Excellency, that is the most suitable candidate.”
"Aren't you afraid that the government will come to arrest you if you do this?" Luo Zheng asked in a deep voice.
Zhang San glanced at him: "You're right, I, Zhang San, a mule and horse trading company, have been working here in Chang'an City for so long, and I haven't heard of that blind person who dares to come here to catch me?"
He sneered: "Are you stupid? My boss is Master Zhang of Taipu Temple. Do you think those people are as stupid and unreasonable as you?"
He waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, I've told you so much, do you want to buy it or not?"
Luo Zheng looked at Su Yi again, bowed and said, "Master Su, do you have anything else to ask?"
"Let's do it." Su Yi said lightly.
Luo Zheng stood up and said sternly: "Here comes someone!"
I saw a dozen strong men walking into the house with weapons in their hands: "Brother Zheng."
Pointing at Zhang San: "Take this person down!"
Without any explanation, these strong men rushed forward, and Zhang San was not a vegetarian, so he kicked one of them violently.
But the opponent easily dodged and then hit Zhang San hard on the neck with a punch.
"Ah" sound.
Zhang San was hit below the Adam's apple. This almost killing move made him cover his neck: "Uh uh uh..."
This sound kept coming from my throat.
It's like it's stuck on something.
He tried to gasp for air, but his breathing was not smooth, and he could only hold it in until his face turned red.
The whole person slowly squatted on the ground, and then rolled his eyes.
Seeing this, Luo Zheng knelt down and said coldly: "Now I ask you whether to sell it or not?"
Zhang San was speechless, but nodded desperately.
Luo Zheng then raised his hand and patted his forehead. Zhang San said "ah" before he could breathe heavily.
Lying on the ground and coughing a few times, Zhang San hurriedly said: "Hold it, I'm holding it back...you, who are you?"
Luo Zhengze snorted coldly and pointed to his side respectfully: "This is Mr. Su Yisu, the Minister of Taipu Temple you are talking about!"
When Zhang San heard this, he was stunned.
"Ah! You, are you Su Yi?"
Su Yi stood up, walked towards the door and said calmly: "Take me to Zhang Lun."
Before Zhang San could say anything, Luo Zheng's people pulled him out of the Mule and Horse Trading Company like a chicken.
…
Inside the Ziwei Palace.
After looking at the memorial in her hand, Wu Siniang said to Pei Gongxian who was standing below: "Master Pei said that Su Yi, the minister of Taipu Temple, used power for personal gain. Is there any evidence for this?"
"Your Majesty, the price of horses has increased several times in a row. In just one day, the price of each horse has risen to two hundred taels."
Pei Gongxian sneered: "The number of horses weighing seven or eighty taels has now more than doubled. Your Majesty, the reason is self-evident. It is due to someone's manipulation."
"You mean, Su Yi is the person behind this?"
Pei Ying nodded: "Yes, before he took up the post of Taipusi Minister, the price of the horses did not increase. But he just took over here, and then His Majesty appointed him as the grain officer, and the price of the horses doubled. Could it be that this Can’t you explain the problem?”
Wu Siniang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Young Master Pei, you can't just rely on speculation, there must be evidence."
At this moment, someone outside the palace said loudly: "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Pei said makes sense."
Xue Bao said and walked into the hall.
As Zuo Konghe, he has special treatment that is different from other ministers.
"Xue Bao, why are you back?"
When Wu Siniang saw her, there was a touch of love and pity in her eyes.
"I also came here to ask Your Majesty about Su Yi."
Wu Siniang was stunned: "Are you joining him too?"
"Exactly... Your Majesty, Su Yi sent 3,000 horses the day before yesterday, but the amount needed for my army is less than 30%."
Wu Siniang nodded: "Then let Su Yi speed up the purchase, but you have to give him some time."
"Of course I gave him time, 10,000 horses for three days, isn't that enough?"
"Well, that's true. Then why are you involved?" Wu Siniang was puzzled.
Xue Bao's face turned cold: "I heard from my subordinates that the price of horses in the capital has doubled. I think Su Yi deliberately created this situation to drive up the price of horses and make a profit from it. After all, this money is I, Da Zhou, Su Yi is making profits from it, others can ignore it, but I, Xue Bao, have to say it!"
Wu Siniang nodded appreciatively: "Xue Bao, if you say so, it seems that Pei Shaofu's words are not impossible."
"That's right."
Xue Bao bowed and said: "Su Yi took advantage of his position to drive up prices and then sought personal gain from it. He is such a big worm. Your Majesty, if he is not brought to justice now, I am afraid that others will follow suit and the consequences will be endless." ah!"
bump!
Wu Siniang took pictures of Long An angrily: "What a Su Yi. I value him so much, but I didn't expect that he would actually have evil intentions..."
After thinking about it, Wu Siniang said: "Young Master Pei, please pass on my instructions and go to Taipu Temple and bring Su Yi to see me!"
"yes!"
When Pei Gongxian heard this, he hurriedly bowed and left.
Xue Bao and Wu Siniang were left chatting about the military camp.
On the other side, Zhang Lun's house in Taipingfang.
Luo Zheng kicked the courtyard door open. The servant stepped forward, but was kicked to the ground by him: "Where is Zhang Lun?"
"My lord, you are in the study at the back. Who are you?"
Luo Zheng and his men rushed directly to the back.
When he came to the study, he saw Zhang Lun playing with an antique vase and couldn't put it down.
As Luo Zheng broke into the door, he was so frightened that Zhang Lun almost dropped the vase in his hand. He said angrily: "Who is it? There are no rules!"
Luo Qingqing pointed at him: "Zhang Lun?"
"Yes, who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, my master is looking for you!"
After Luo Zheng finished speaking, he bowed slightly toward the door: "Sir, Zhang Lun is here!"
"My Lord? Which Lord?"
Zhang Lun looked at the door with disdain, but saw Su Yi leading Zhang San into the house.
He said "Ah", but the antique vase in his hand fell to the ground in fright and shattered into pieces.
