Nangong Yuanyi didn't take Sun Zuo's threat seriously at all, and kindly reminded: "I am not criticizing you, but doing it for your own good. You will enforce the law impartially and be upright, and the people will remember it."
"On the contrary, if your Excellency..." Nangong Yuanyi didn't finish the sentence, I believe he understood.
Sun Zuo glanced around intentionally or unintentionally, and then thought about the secret order he had just received from the superiors. The emperor had sent important people to provide relief, and they were on the way now...
Nangong Yuanyi added: "I have been doing business for many years, and I am naturally familiar with the laws of the Northern Dynasties. I will never dare to do anything that violates the law. If you don't believe me, you can go back and read the laws of the Northern Dynasties. Then Master Sun will know whether I am being alarmist. .”
After hearing what he said, Sun Zuo couldn't help but think of the conversation between the magistrate and the prefect. He heard that if the court wanted to buy grain from grain merchants for disaster relief, the price offered by the court would only be the market price and would not let the grain merchants do so. Prices are sky-high, so as long as they don't go through the government, they just turn a blind eye to how businessmen operate in secret.
Immediately, Sun Zuo glanced at Zhu Gui and whispered: "What did you do? Why did you chase people into the street? Later, you will act according to the opportunity. It is better to do less than to do more."
Zhu Gui was also frightened by the phrase "beheaded" and his spine trembled. Was there really such a law in the Northern Dynasties?
It is also their fault that they are greedy and want to earn an extra five taels of silver. The people under them also want to make some money.
Zhu Gui secretly asked, "Did we get beaten in vain?" Zhu Gui already hated the people who beat him in front of him.
"Let's go first and wait until this moment passes." Lord Sun whispered.
"I wonder how you think this case will be resolved? They sell grain at high prices and hurt people. Why don't I accompany these three people to the Yamen. I believe justice will prevail in the people's hearts." Nangong Yuanyi saw them whispering to each other.
Zhu Gui saw that Nangong Yuanyi was rich from head to toe, and saw his two bodyguards, who were also highly skilled in martial arts. If he wasn't a rich man, who could afford to hire such powerful people as bodyguards.
Zhu Gui made a quick decision, shouted at a dozen thugs and ran away.
Sun Zuo pretended to order the officers and soldiers to chase him, but he stayed behind. He glanced around and said deliberately: "I will naturally report today's matter to Master Tongpan. I don't know where Mr. Yuan rests. If Tongpan wants to I summon Mr. Yuan for questioning and also ask Mr. Yuan to assist me in handling the case."
"Your Majesty, you are polite. It is the common people's duty to assist the government in handling cases. However, if someone in Zhangzhou City really deliberately raises the price of food and intends to challenge the laws of the Northern Dynasties, please be careful, otherwise I will not be able to continue the medicinal materials business. .”
"Husband, are we resting at Guoyunju Restaurant? I'm tired after traveling such a long way." An Xiyue slightly opened a gap and spoke at the right time.
Guo Yun Ju Restaurant is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Zhangzhou City. Especially during the snowstorm when prices soared, almost no one dared to live in an expensive restaurant like Guo Yun Ju.
As soon as Sun Zuo heard the female voice coming from the carriage, he saw that their carriage was ordinary, but it was also normal. It would be unsafe to drive a carriage that was too luxurious, but it was only from his clothes that he could tell that this was the case. People's wealth.
Two days ago, a group of people checked into Yunju. They escorted three carts full of medicinal materials. Could it be that the young master in front of them was their boss.
Nangong Yuanyi didn't care about the surprised change on Sun Zuo's face, and said calmly: "If Mr. Sun needs my help, you can go to Yunju Restaurant to find me. I'll take my leave first."
