The world is bustling, everyone is here for profit! The hustle and bustle in the world is all for the benefit of others! This is almost an eternal truth.
As long as there is profit to be made, no matter how difficult the road is, it will become a smooth road!
And if there is no benefit, no matter how smooth the road is, it will become less populated.
Xiao Han knew that in this treasury bond incident.
The emperor got wealth turnover, the businessmen got attention, and even Yin Can got a chance to show his face, and no one suffered a loss, at least no one suffered a loss so far.
This kind of thing that accomplishes multiple things with one stone is really a good plan! Anyone who saw it had to clap their hands and praise it.
But the problem is that in this world, there is no such thing as perfection, and there is nothing that benefits anyone. Even Lao Tzu said: The way of heaven is to make up for the excess of damage!
As Yin Can analyzed, if the emperor wants greater benefits, then these benefits will not appear out of thin air for no reason, they will inevitably be lost from the original vested interests!
Maybe, when I first started, I still couldn’t see it.
But when it gradually becomes apparent, or when those wealthy families and high-ranking officials who have suffered huge losses due to the independence of businessmen come to their senses, Xiao Lizi will definitely be overwhelmed by the overwhelming opposition.
"Still a little anxious."
On the second floor, Xiao Han sighed softly and remained silent. Yin Can also rolled his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just when the small building fell into silence, there was a rush of footsteps on the street outside the building, and there seemed to be some noise from some people.
It's a pity that because the sound was a little far away from here and the wind was strong in winter, Xiao Han didn't hear it clearly.
However, Xiao Han refused to listen, but Yin Can, who was sitting opposite him, had long been practicing martial arts and had sharpened his ears and eyesight. After shaking his ears a few times, he pointed to the window with a smile: "Those people were looking for you just now. Vengeance! Do you want your Madam Ru to come up and have a look?"
Madam, of course she is talking about purple clothes.
Just when she was going upstairs, Ziyi could tell that Xiao Han and Yin Can had something to talk about, so she excused herself from feeling unwell and asked the maid here to accompany her to the backyard to rest.
Now, when Yin Can saw something good coming up, he naturally wanted to ask. After all, this was Xiao Han venting his anger on his wife, right?
"No need, what are you looking at those pickled goods for? Get over it quickly!" Xiao Han waved his hand impatiently. Compared to the chaotic thoughts, those clowns outside were not worthy of his attention at all.
Yin Can asked for trouble, so he could only shrug, walked to the window, and made a gesture towards the outside.
Then, the noise on the street suddenly stopped, replaced by muffled "bang bang" sounds and screams like slaughtering pigs.
Early next morning
Chang'an, in the Tai Chi Palace.
A censor-general held Wuban in his arms and was playing in a stern voice: "Your Majesty! Yesterday, a tragic incident happened in Chonghuafang, Chang'an City!
A bad handsome man in the neighborhood joined hands and went on a routine patrol, but because they offended the powerful, they ordered the bad handsome man and all his men to have their right legs broken! Among them, the bad handsome brother even had both of his legs broken off!
Under this bright sun and moon, such atrocities could happen! However, the magistrate of Chang'an County did not dare to arrest him because of his lustful power! As the imperial censor and the mouthpiece of the imperial court, when I see this illegal thing, I want to report it to heaven and seek justice for the suffering people! "
After an impassioned and eloquent accusation, the censor-general bowed to Li Shimin on the dragon throne and refused to get up for a long time.
The court hall immediately became quiet.
The eyes of countless officials were all focused on this official! And the Chang'an County magistrate who was ranked last had an even darker expression! It is estimated that at this moment, all the female ancestors of this Yanguan are being frantically greeted in their hearts.
As for the head of the censor, Wei Zheng seems to have been used to being stabbed in the back by his subordinates. His thin face is still Gujing Wubo, but from the corner of his mouth that twitches from time to time, you can see his heart. He didn't seem as calm as his face showed.
"Old Wei, who is this? Tsk tsk, you are so selfless~" Behind Wei Zheng, Liu Hongji, who had nothing to do and came to court, asked in a low voice with a narrow look on his face.
"Hmph!" After hearing Liu Hongji's words, Wei Zheng's expression finally changed, but he did not answer his words and just snorted coldly.
When Liu Hongji saw this, he didn't ask any questions, he just smiled "hehe", but when his eyes swept over the censor in the center of the hall, a hint of bone-chilling coldness flashed in his eyes.
While the other ministers had different expressions, Li Shimin on the dragon chair also looked at the official with complicated eyes for a while, and finally said three words calmly: "I know."
As soon as this statement came out, even a blind person could see that the emperor must have known about this matter for a long time, and did not want to get involved in this matter, so he used the three words "I know" to send the censor away.
But this seventh-grade imperial censor, whether it was because he was too upright or for some other reason, after hearing such an obvious hint from the emperor, he still held his neck and shouted: "Since your majesty knows, then you should Go to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to investigate this matter thoroughly! Don’t let the murderer go unpunished, and let Chang’an have a clear sky!”
"oh?"
After hearing this, the emperor's voice finally changed. He looked at the censor intently for a while, and then slowly glanced at the ministers in the palace: "Then do you know who this murderer is?"
"I heard this!" The censor also made up his mind at this time, gritted his teeth and replied: "The murderer is none other than Xiaohou of Sanyuan County!"
"Xiao Han?" The emperor seemed not surprised at all by this answer. He only repeated it softly and then asked: "Where is the Magistrate of Chang'an?"
"I'm here!" The Chang'an County Magistrate, whose face turned black, heard the emperor's question and hurried forward to the palace to pay homage.
Don't doubt that a county magistrate can also participate in court meetings, because Chang'an County and Wannian County are under the rule of Kyoto, so he, as a county magistrate, is a fifth-rank official in the Eight Classics, and naturally has the right to go to court.
"Since the incident happened under your rule, please tell me the whole story!" Li Shimin glanced at the Chang'an County Magistrate and said.
"Here!" Hearing this, the Chang'an County Magistrate hurriedly responded, held his head to the side because of too much sweat, and said, "What Mr. Huang said did happen, but the details of it are the reasons. , but it’s not as good as Mr. Huang said!
As far as I know, yesterday, Xiao Hou caused chaos in front of Chang'an Bank and was scattered among the streets. Later, due to various reasons, he clashed with a group of ruffians, which led to Xiao Hou's escort. He arrived and started fighting with those ruffians, eventually injuring someone. "
