Dajin royal family

Chapter 88 Fermentation
Yongjingzhai is located in the miscellaneous market in the northwest of Chang'an. This is a trade exchange market, which is a bit similar to a "black market", but it is a black market under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.But because there are mixed fish and dragons in it, and businessmen from all over the world mixed in it, it was extremely chaotic, so everyone called it a miscellaneous market.The official tax of the imperial court here is five times that of the East and West cities, which is regarded as the imperial court's tacit "no much control" zone.

The reason for this situation is mainly because of the popular "slave trade" in the miscellaneous market, where there are slaves bought by merchants from various countries in the known world.Among them are Turkic slaves, Rouran slaves, Goguryeo slaves, and Tocharian slaves. The most beloved by the rich and powerful in Chang'an is naturally the Kunlun slaves.It is precisely because the slave trade is flourishing, and at the same time, the rich and powerful in Chang'an City are also fond of it. The intervention of various forces has led to the special status of the market.As far as the imperial court is concerned, the five times the tax here is also a benefit.

Just like Qinglefang, Zashi is also a street named Datongfang.You can tell from the name that this is the archway set up by the official in charge here.The shops here are all foreign businessmen, that is, "barbarians" in the eyes of officials. Taking the name of Datongfang is nothing more than superficiality, telling those businessmen that Dajin is peaceful and friendly, and Dajin is friendly to foreign countries. Everyone comes Set up shop here...and pay your taxes!

More importantly, the laws of the Jin Dynasty have never protected businessmen, let alone foreign businessmen. If you lose something when you open a shop here, if there is someone behind it, it’s okay, if there is no one... then it’s lost, cry There is no place to cry.

At midnight, a group of people rushed into Datongfang with swords across their waists and hips and torches in their hands.At this time, Datongfang was not closed, because unlike other places, it was basically open around the clock.Therefore, when the owners of foreign businessmen staying in the shop saw the group of people in uniforms rushing into the street, they immediately realized that something was wrong, and some owners who had committed illegal activities immediately turned around and closed their doors.For these foreign owners, sometimes these servants are more ruthless than local ruffians, and they contribute more things each time.

The leader of the guards was Shangguan Di, he didn't know if what the man in black said was right, but now he didn't have any other clues, not to mention how could someone be so boring as to punch him just to lie to him?
"Sir, here we are!"

After rushing for a cup of tea, a group of people finally arrived at their destination, Yongjingzhai!
"Everyone listen to the order, guard all the entrances and exits of Yongjing Zhai, and don't let anyone go. Ah Shu, you lead people to follow me!" Shangguan Di quickly gave the order, and then the team dispersed, and some rushed inside , and some kept outside.

Shangguan Di took Ahshu and a team of guards behind him into Yongjingzhai. At this time, there were still many customers buying foreign objects.Hearing the movement outside, before he had time to react, Shangguan Di had already rushed into the room, and his subordinates quickly controlled everyone present.

"Bold!"

One of the youths in Chinese clothes who was controlled by the guards scolded: "Which yamen of yours dares to treat me like this, do you know who I am?!"

"Who are you?" Shangguan Di looked at him.

"Hmph, my father is the servant of the Ministry of Industry, Cao Guogong, who was conferred by the late emperor, you are so brave, dare to break into my shop without permission. Kneel down and kowtow to me immediately, and I can forget the past." Yu Shuyu Pointing at Shangguan Di, he looked aggressive.

"Is this your shop?" Shangguan Di had a strange expression on his face.

Yu Shuyu snorted coldly, "Is it true that you are deaf, you thief mother, do you want me to report it again? Kneel down and kowtow to me immediately, or I will let you float on the moat tomorrow."

Shangguan Di nodded, and waved his hand, "I'm watching him! The others come with me!" Shangguan Di led his men to the attic and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets.

Yu Shuyu was held up by four or five guards and couldn't move. He watched Shangguan Di leading people to make a scene in the room, and he cursed viciously: "Little bastard, I want you to die!"

Shangguan Di turned a deaf ear to Yu Shuyu's vicious words, he just wanted to find the clues he wanted here.Soon, the guards searched Yong Jing Zhai, and finally found an iron box in the warehouse. When the guards opened the box, there was a gray cloth bag inside.

Ah Shu stretched out his hand to untie the bag, pulled it lightly, and suddenly a head appeared.Shangguan Di hurriedly asked someone to bring a torch to light it up, and found that it was a female corpse!The corpse was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with disheveled hair, and a slit throat wound on the neck, which was obviously fatal!Shangguan Di brushed away the stray hair scattered on the forehead of the female corpse, and found that she was quite pretty.

"My lord, this is Tang Gaoshi!" Ah Shu said in shock.

Shangguan Di was also shocked, he didn't expect that the so-called clue was Tang Gao's body.Sure enough, as I guessed, there was another murderer in Tang Ji's death, and King Qi did not hide Tang Gaoshi!

"Hurry up, bring the corpse back to the county government office, and at the same time bring all the people in Yongjingzhai back for interrogation!" Shangguan Di suppressed the excitement in his heart, and took the corpse away with someone, and Yu Shuyu was also taken away at the same time. .

From the moment he saw the corpse, Yu Shuyu denied that he had never killed anyone, let alone why there was a female corpse in his shop.But these rhetoric obviously couldn't convince Shangguan Di, so he was dragged back to the county government.

The news that the corpse was found in Yongjing Zhai and the shop was closed spread quickly.In order to avoid the taboo, some shops closed their doors that night.

The next day, there was explosive news about the Tang Ji case that the people of Chang'an City had been thinking about for a long time. The Tang Gao family who was messing around outside died!The body was found by people from Chang'an Yamen in Yongjingzhai, Datongfang.According to people who know the news, the owner behind this Yongjingzhai is Cao Guogong, Yu Shuyu, the son of Yu Binghong, Minister of Industry!After this news broke out, the people of Chang'an City were shocked. How could Yu Binghong be involved?Isn't the murderer Tang Gao's concubine?
But when he learned that he was involved in the important witnesses of this case, which was hotly discussed by the government and the public, and that the body was still found in his son's shop, Yu Binghong passed out on the spot when he heard the news.His position in the court is not low, and his mind is naturally transparent.Putting this matter on someone else might just be deprivation and exile, but if it fell on him, it would be death for sure!Home raids are minor, but serious cases include the beheading of men over the age of three, and the confiscation of all female family members into the priest's workshop.

Yu Binghong knew very well that now that Tang Gao's body had been found, there was no possibility of King Qi murdering Tang Ji.Naturally, the emperor would think that someone killed someone intentionally, blamed it on King Qi, and provoked King Qi, the crown prince, and even the royal family.Even if it is not, the emperor will think it is, such a good opportunity to suppress the nobles in Guanzhong, will the emperor let it go?

And Tang Gao's body was found in his son's shop. He was still a member of the nobles in Guanzhong, and he knew how the emperor would deal with him.Yu Binghong was so angry that he could bleed, wishing he could eat that bastard who framed his family to ruin.

In order to save himself and Yu's family, Yu Binghong entered the palace as soon as he woke up.
