But no matter how angry he was, he still said nothing. After all, he actually had no say in this matter at all.
To put it bluntly, to put it nicely, or to put it poorly as a shopkeeper, he was just a puppet who was thrown out.
No matter how strong he was from the beginning to the end, in the end, he was just a puppet in someone's hands.
Even if he promised something today, the big boss behind him would not admit it when he goes back.
If you can't solve the problem, get rid of the person who discovered the problem.
This kind of thing is actually not only common in ancient times, but also very common in later generations.
He could even guess what the big boss behind the scenes would do after he heard the news of his failure.
"In that case, I would like to thank you all properly. Come on, let me toast you!"
In any case, they are willing to stand up and take a clear stand at this time and stand on Liu Deng's side. For Liu Deng, this is a rare victory.
As for the Sihai Company that refuses to admit it to death, since they want to play tricks, let everyone play it.
Liu Deng wanted to see what they could do if these hundreds of thousands of stones of food rotted in their hands!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The merchants stood up quickly, bowed to Liu Deng, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Even though their hearts were bleeding, at this moment, all their faces had to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying.
Liu Deng didn't care and started eating hot pot.
In the spacious hall, Liu Deng was probably the only one who ate heartily. Although the remaining merchants were facing this rare delicacy, they all still felt the same.
However, every wrongdoer has his own owner, and now they don't hate Liu Deng. What they hate most is Tao Qing who was hung on the city gate.
If it weren't for believing his lies, why would they be doing this now?
It was because of the old guy's secret connivance and the instigation of his confidants that they took the risk and committed such a major crime.
The banquet lasted until late at night. When they came out of the palace again, everyone looked like their parents were dead.
"Damn, the more I think about it, the more aggrieved I feel. It's all Tao Qing who's old and immortal!"
"That's right, we can't just let this matter go. I will lead all my family members to vent their anger on him early tomorrow morning!"
"I heard that all the Lord Tingwei from the imperial court have personally come here just to protect this old thing!"
Not far after leaving the palace, the merchant in Jinyang City could no longer bear his bad temper and wanted to take it out on Tao Qing.
There are even those who are well-informed, and even the news of Zhidu's arrival is clear.
"Is your news reliable? I heard that this man is still hanging on the wall!"
"Believe it or not, I always feel that this matter is not that simple. How about we take a look again?"
After all, these people are still reluctant to part with the inheritance they have worked so hard to save. After all, this is their hard work for most of their lives.
"Don't you know what kind of temper our king has? Think about the head that was taken off today! Anyway, I admitted defeat this time. After I returned, I started throwing out all the food in my hands. You guys You don’t have to come to me anymore if you have anything to do in the future, let’s just do our own thing!”
Seeing those people still standing there, Lin Haishan glanced disdainfully, then stood up and left directly.
He always felt that there was something in Liu Deng's words today. At this time, Liu Deng asked them to take the initiative to lower the price, which was already considered polite.
If Liu Deng is really forced to be tough, I'm afraid it won't just be a matter of losing money!
Although if they do this now, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, but no matter what, they are much better than those ordinary people who are struggling!
He is really scared now and really doesn't want to cause trouble with them anymore!
Seeing Lin Haishan leave like this, the remaining businessmen felt even more unsure.
He wanted to stop Wei Bin and inquire about their next movements, but Wei Bin ignored them all, got into the carriage, got up and left.
"This king writes a letter, and you send someone to deliver it to Lord Zhidu. Tell him that this is a reply to His Highness the Crown Prince, and ask him to take it back to you personally when he returns to the capital!"
Returning to his study again, Liu Deng suddenly sighed, and then said to Shunzi.
"promise!"
Shunzi didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he just stood aside and waited for Liu Deng.
At the same time, at the east gate of Jinyang City, Tao Qing's life was not so easy.
He had been hung here for a whole day and night, with only a piece of crotch cloth left on his body.
His skinny body was just exposed to the sun, and now at this time, the whole person had entered a semi-conscious state.
After all, he is already several decades old, and his health has already begun to decline. In addition, he has not eaten or drank for a day and a night, and he is still hanging in the air. You can naturally imagine the discomfort involved. !
There were a few vegetable leaves on top of her hair, and her face was stained with foul-smelling liquid. Her whole body looked like it had just been pulled out of a garbage dump.
But now, no one sympathizes with him...
During the day, the Tao family's old servant came over in person, hoping to bring him some water, but when he turned around, he was whipped in the face and couldn't get up for a long time.
Now Tao Qing's heart is really full of hatred for Liu Deng. At this time, he really wants to tear Liu Deng into pieces.
But apart from being cruel, he can no longer even say a few cruel words.
In the Western Suburbs Courtyard, Xu Yin finally felt that the chickenpox on his body was almost gone after taking more than a dozen baths.
But just when he was about to go out to find something to eat and comfort himself, he was stopped by the soldiers at the door.
"What do you mean?"
Xu Yin frowned and suddenly felt a little unhappy.
He was not a prisoner, so he already felt very uncomfortable when Liu Deng did this to him.
What's more, at this time, this guy actually acted like a conqueror, which made Xu Yin even more angry.
"I'm sorry, the king said you are a manly man, so you are not allowed to go out until he comes back!"
"Asshole!"
Before the soldier could finish his words, Shi Yin suddenly burst out and kicked him directly on the chest, barely able to kill him.
The remaining soldiers immediately picked up the crossbows in their hands...
