Chapter 354
Regarding the reform of merchants, the progress is not too smooth.

The Grain Merchant newspaper group below, coupled with the support of the people behind it, made it not easy.

But Lan Xi didn't give up either. The relationship behind these big grain merchants is intricate, but you can start with small grain merchants. Although they are small in scale, their combination should not be underestimated.

Lan Xi is dealing with the reform of merchants here, and Prince Jing has also started to handle matters on behalf of the emperor. Many people go to ask Prince Jing no matter the big or small matters.

Prince Jing was not impatient either, he explained everything clearly, dealt with problems in an orderly manner, and for a while the court returned to an eerie calm.

The summer sun is getting more and more venomous, and the big trees in the sun dare not make any movements. Even if the people walking in the sun are in a hurry, they want to hide in the shade of the trees, but they don't want to be soaked in sweat halfway through.

In the past at this time, Emperor Wei Qing had already gone to Huangzhuang to escape the summer heat, but this year due to physical reasons, there was no movement.

Ever since he was summoned that time, Emperor Wei Qing never summoned his courtiers, only Prince Jing met twice.

When he was in court that day, Lan Xi was read by the censor, who was none other than Tang Shijin.

"Reporting to King Jing, the lower officials received a complaint. It was Tian's grain shop in the capital suing Chang Wenxuan, the left servant of the household department, claiming that Chang Wenxuan accepted 2 taels of silver from them, saying that it would be convenient for him. As a result, there has been no news.

Recently, Chang Wenxuan asked them that if their shop wants to continue to operate in the capital, they must donate their eldest lady.

They had nowhere to appeal outside, so they handed over this complaint to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. "

Speaking of handing over the complaint to King Jing, King Jing took a look at Tang Shijin, then took it over and read it carefully. The content in it was similar to what Tang Shijin said.

When Lan Xi heard this, he was thinking about the recent events in his mind. He had contacted Tian's Grain Shop, and the other party was a small grain farmer, and his behavior was very ordinary. Their head was an ordinary short man. A middle-aged man.

When Lan Xi heard this, she knew that the other party was coming for her. It was not Tian's Grain Shop that was difficult to deal with, but the people behind it.

Prince Jing then put away the complaint in his hand, and looked at Lan Xi, "Does Mr. Hubu Chang have something to say?"

Of course Prince Jing didn't believe it, it was obviously the boss's handwriting, but he couldn't be too obvious.

Lan Xi came out and said, "Reporting to the lord, this matter is nothing but a fiction. We have had contact with Tian's Grain Shop, and the other party is a small-scale grain household. Not to mention giving me 2 taels, even they It is difficult for me to come up with 2 taels.

Besides, I want to forcefully marry a civilian girl. To put it bluntly, if I want to marry, the matchmaker will never step into Tian's Grain Shop. "

Lan Xi said unhurriedly, her voice was unhurried and unhurried, allowing everyone to hear clearly, but what Lan Xi said was true.

Although Mr. Chang has never been married in his late thirties, many high-ranking families in the capital want to marry their prostitute daughters to him, and even those princes have not thought about it, so an unknown merchant really does not have the qualifications.

But Tang Shijin would not let Lan Xi go, "Master Chang is talking big, Mr. Tian also has evidence, and no one knows whether Mr. Chang has any hobbies."

As he said that, Tang Shijin took out a jade pendant, Lan Xi took a closer look, it was really his jade pendant, no wonder, he said why he couldn't find it, it turned out that they had stolen it.

"Everyone, please take a look. This is the token that Master Chang gave to Tian's Grain Shop back then. Master Chang should be familiar with it."

Tang Shijin looked at Lan Xi proudly, no matter how much he quibbled today, there was nothing he could do, this was just an appetizer.

Everyone then turned their attention to Lan Xi, but Lan Xi's expression did not change at all.

Looking at the jade pendant, Lan Xi suddenly realized, "When I was out, the jade pendant was stolen by that thief. The thief was really hateful, and he did some shady things. It turned out that Tang Yushi picked it up. I thank Mr. Tang." .”

Tang Shijin's expression froze, the man didn't answer his words, he snorted coldly in his heart,
"Master Chang is scared, that's why he made such a poor excuse."

Lan Xi laughed lightly, "Tang Yushi wants to convict me with just a jade pendant. Isn't it too easy? If so, I will go to Tang Yushi's house tomorrow to borrow something."

Lan Xi is now a member of the third rank, and he is no longer the poor little guy who can step on anyone. Let alone an ordinary imperial censor today, Lan Xi dares to argue even the six books.

Lan Xi didn't give him a chance to reply, and continued, "Could it be that Tang Yushi still wants to say that if he is going to search the house, will I be like Tang Yushi, leaving all the evidence in his study and waiting for Mr. Tang to come?" Find it, it's ridiculous."

After thinking about it for a while, Lan Xi knew what the other party was up to, but it was too late for him now. I have to say that such a low-level conspiracy was also very effective. He was sure that there must be some good things in his study, so he couldn't let People can search casually.

Tang Shijin seemed to be choked by the throat, his face flushed, what he wanted to say was preempted by Lan Xi.

However, he still put up his momentum, "Since Mr. Chang said so, do you dare to ask the guards to search?"

Lan Xi straightened up, took two steps forward, looked at Tang Shijin with cold eyes, and poured out his aura, making Tang Shijin couldn't help taking a step back with his right leg.

"Master Tang, what is the home of my dignified third-rank official? Just based on your lack of strong evidence, you can search the home with a few nonsense words.

What are you relying on, is it possible that you, Mr. Tang, can search the house at will with a few casual words in the future? Then I have to ask, is this the case in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or is Mr. Tang doing it alone? What a great official authority . "

Lan Xi's unyielding attitude, his words were plausible, and his voice was clearly transmitted in the hall. At the same time, he also showed the aura of his third-rank official, which made Tang Shijin speechless for a while.

Lan Xi's anger also let everyone understand that this always good-tempered Master Chang got angry, and it was uncomfortable, and he didn't see that even Yu Shi was stunned and had nothing to say.

Even Chen Dehe, the left censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, also came out to smooth things over, "Lord Chang, please calm down. Tang Yushi was just confused for a while, and he was blinded by what the servant said for a while. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been fair, and the matter of searching the family is all right." It will only be carried out after His Majesty speaks."

Lan Xi sneered twice, "I don't think so. Who knows if Mr. Tang accepted bribes, otherwise he wouldn't try to drag me into the water."

Everyone gave Lan Xi a thumbs up in their hearts. This was very strong. They turned their heads and returned the original set of rhetoric to Tang Yushi. With this posture, it would be a pity not to be a censor. There is a way to go.

Chen Dehe sighed inwardly, this lord Chang was young, but he was really difficult to deal with, he already took a step back, but the other party still didn't let them go.

Prince Jing was amused when he saw this scene, Mr. Chang is really a wonderful person, he must have noticed something, so he made such an attitude, making it impossible for Tang Yushi to step down, let alone search the house, completely confuse their There was no room for the conspiracy to be implemented, and the response was really timely. Tang Yushi was completely led by the nose.
