At this moment, the field member was watched by everyone, but he was speechless. He hesitated for a long time, unable to say a word.
Who is Wu Yunxuan, the Taicang Order of the imperial court, an old fox who has been in high and low officialdom for decades?
Seeing this, how could you not see something fishy?
As a result, he shouted loudly and said: "Master Tian's family! Do you know the truth? Why don't you come soon?"
"Could it be that... the person who indulged Xiaoxiao and destroyed the Zhou family's fields was not the An family, but you!"
Listening to Wu Yunxuan's bold guess, the scene was in an uproar.
"How is that possible? Tian Yuanwai made a fortune together with Zhou Yuanwai before, and the two of them were so good that they wore the same pants. How could Tian Yuanwai do such a thing?"
"Hmph, you know people but don't know their hearts. As the number one grain merchant in Huainan, the Zhou family has been weighing on the Tian family for more than ten years. It is normal for Tian Yuan to feel resentment."
"I don't think field members should be this type of person."
"You know Tian Yuanwai very well, don't you? He was able to stand up and expose Zhou Yuanwai just now, what else can't be done. In the future, you have to be careful when doing business with people like this."
When Tian Yuanwai heard the voices of people talking around him, his face turned pale and he said, "Master Wu, as an official of the imperial court, you should represent the imperial court in every word and deed."
"There is no evidence at all. How can I, Tian, be given such a bad name?"
Tian Yuanwai snorted coldly, looked at Wu Yunxuan, and argued with each other without giving an inch.
"This... Tian Yuanwai must be crazy. This is Mr. Wu. He dares to speak like this."
"You are so bold, so bold! How could Tian Yuanwai be elected as an imperial merchant by doing this?"
Hearing this, Wu Yunxuan also turned pale.
In Daqian territory, the scholar-peasant-industrial-merchant class system has been around for nearly three hundred years and can be described as strict.
But now, as an official, he is being rebuked like this by a mere businessman. It is really a shame and a great humiliation!
But the key point... what they said is right.
As the Taicang Order, he was in charge of the selection of imperial merchants and many other matters, and his task was not unimportant.
Therefore, we must be cautious in our words and deeds. Convicting people without evidence is a serious dereliction of duty. If someone stabbed him out, even he would be unable to eat and carry around.
Therefore, after hearing this, although Wu Yunxuan was angry, he didn't do much. He just looked at the field member with a sneer on his lips.
When Tian Yuanwai heard this, his heart trembled, knowing that he might have completely offended the Taicang Ling this time.
But at this time, he had no way out, so he could only bravely say: "Since there is no evidence, Tian must be innocent."
"As for the Zhou family and the An family, both families need to be discussed again, so according to the regulations, this imperial merchant should be my Tian family."
"Master Wu, please make an announcement."
"Hmph! Be brave!"
"You are just a merchant. Allowing you to participate in the imperial merchant selection is already a great grace."
"How dare you speak so shamelessly here!" Before Wu Yunxuan could say anything, the county magistrate's official couldn't help but stand up and reprimand him.
How many years? They had never seen such a bold merchant.
Ordinary businessmen, facing their officials, would not act with their tail between their legs?
But this man named Tian actually dared to urge Mr. Wu to announce the results of the imperial business in front of them.
Bold is not enough to describe this kind of behavior, it is simply unheard of and unseen!
When Wu Yunxuan heard these words, he was not as angry as the other officials. He just looked at Tian Yuanwai silently without saying a word. There seemed to be a different emotion rising in his deep eyes.
He vaguely remembered that Tian Yuanwai's record on the register was that he was low-key and reserved, but panicked when encountering problems.
His temperament complements the irritable and irritable Zhou Huai, so the two can support each other and become bigger and stronger.
Now it seems……
Thinking of this, the light in Wu Yunxuan's eyes became even deeper.
After clearing his throat, he said: "Logically speaking, today is the day for the selection of imperial merchants, and a result is bound to come out."
"Apart from the Zhou family and the An family, it is indeed you, the Tian family, who is the most qualified."
"It's just that I now suspect that your words are weird and that there is something inside. Therefore, the matter is postponed until sufficient evidence is found before we can discuss it."
As soon as these words came out, Tian Yuanwai suddenly became impatient and stepped forward: "As far as I know, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the selection of imperial merchants should be completed before the beginning of winter."
"Yes, that's true." Wu Yunxuan felt a chill in his heart after hearing this.
He never told the grain merchants running for election when the deadline was.
"But, aren't there still three days until the beginning of winter?" Wu Yunxuan said with a smile.
"After three days, I will collect all the evidence."
"Really? Then we'll wait and see." Tian Yuanwai also smiled. The corners of his mouth were just slightly curved, but it made people feel chilly.
At this moment, Zhou Huai looked at Tian Yuanwai and felt that this person was so strange.
In his impression, Lao Tian would never dare to say such words.
Could it be that he has been hiding all these years?
What can be done?
Today’s imperial merchant selection?
How early did you start planning?
How terrifying must this person's mind be?
Even the experienced Master Wu actually forced him to this point.
It's really... shocking.
"In this case, Tian will resign first. After three days, I hope Master Wu can give a result that satisfies everyone."
Hearing this, the subordinate officials suddenly frowned, and some became furious and wanted to reprimand, but were stopped by Wu Yunxuan, saying: "This is a matter within my own official duties, but it is not up to Master Tian's family to worry about."
After hearing this, the field member stopped staying outside and turned around and walked out.
When the officials saw this scene, they were furious.
"Sir, is it possible to let him leave like this?"
"Otherwise? What else do you want to do to someone who has not committed any crime but who has not committed a crime?"
"We, as a cadre, always pay attention to evidence in everything we do."
Wu Yunxuan stared calmly in the direction Tian Yuanwai left, but there was a faint flame burning in his eyes.
However, the next moment, this flame turned into confusion.
I saw that the field member who had just walked out actually stepped back again.
And he looked panicked, as if he had encountered some natural enemy.
Seeing this, the subordinate officer became even more angry. How could you, a merchant, come in and out of the dignified county governor's mansion? How dignified!
However, before he could say anything, he was stopped by Wu Yunxuan again.
His eyes were deep, looking into the distance, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose, revealing a smile from the bottom of his heart.
The next moment, a voice came from outside the door.
"I'm troubled by things in my Daqian territory, and I still want to leave."
"Your Excellency is a little too confident."
Hearing this voice, Zhou Huai trembled all over. Isn't this... Gu Shijun's voice? Why is he here?
Then, another voice was heard saying: "Why are you talking so much nonsense with him? Just let me take down this young man!"
