Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 227 Are You Stupid?
Gu Mingjue took advantage of the situation and said: "Patriarch Liu is calling for injustice, so tell me, what's wrong with this complaint?"

Liu Hongsheng didn't say how shrewd he was, but he wasn't stupid either.

Knowing that Gu Mingjue was backing him up, he immediately said, "My lord, the complaint states that I want to arrest Wang Xiaogen for my son's sake, so I just want to ask, they are just villagers from Wang's Village, and they are far away from Jiangning Prefecture. How did Ban Yuan know these things?"

Seeing Liu Hongsheng pretending to be stupid, Wang Defa said anxiously, "Of course your guard said it."

"Guard? Which of my guards?"

"Your guard named Ye Fei, he is tied up by us, don't try to deny it."

Liu Hongsheng snorted: "Ye Fei is my bodyguard, but he was ordered by me to invite Wang Xiaogen to Liu's house to help the miracle doctor I invited to save my son, not to kill your son."

"You don't admit it now? You said that you are going to take my son's life for another life."

Seeing Liu Hongsheng backtracking, Wang De became extremely anxious.

Look at Baili Xingmou.

Baili Xingmou shook his head at him, signaling him to stay calm.

Su Yixin also noticed that Wang Defa and Liu Hongsheng were not at the same level as opponents at all.

He is not an official, but has an official in-law.

How can Wang Defa be able to figure out the truth in this.

So he whispered in Wang Defa's ear: "Uncle, no matter what Liu Hongsheng said later, don't open your mouth and leave this matter to my cousin. Don't worry, Liu Hongsheng will not let Liu Hongsheng walk out of the court easily. If you have Xiao Gen, don't talk, be careful to fall into Liu Hongsheng's trap."

"Well, we remembered."

"It's not Liu who backtracked, but I suspected that after you knew that your son could save my son's life, you also knew that my family was rich, and you opened your mouth like a lion at me. I disagree, and you are the villain. For my own son, I will kill your son."

What Liu Hongsheng said was like pouring dirty water on them.

If he hadn't agreed to Su Yixin, he wouldn't be able to speak, lest he would be fooled by Liu Hongsheng.

Wang Defa really couldn't help but rush forward and punch Liu Hongsheng a few times.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Liu Hongsheng was very happy, and said to Gu Mingjue: "Sir, didn't they say they captured my guard, why don't you call my guard over, and I will confront him face to face."

Hear what Liu Hongsheng said.

The people outside couldn't help being a little shaken.

It's not like what Liu Hongsheng said, this Wang Defa is trying to extort money from others.

Otherwise, how dare Liu Hongsheng confront the captured guards in court.

Gu Mingjue said: "Where are the guards that Patriarch Liu mentioned just now, I need to send them here for questioning."

Baili Xingmou nodded: "Why don't you dare, brother Wuxie, please lead the yamen servants and bring those people here."

Li Zhengzhen nodded.

Catcher Cao received Gu Mingjue's signal, ordered two good players, and followed behind Li Zhengzhen.

When Li Zhengzhen turned around, he heard Baili Xingmou's voice transmission, grinning at Cao Butou as he walked, "Let's go, I'll take you there now."

They flew from Yujian in Wangjia Village.

First, he went to the inn to open a room, and left the five people there, before he came to the county government to beat drums and complain.

After throwing them into the inn, Su Yixin then set up a formation to untie the ropes and talismans on the five people, and they were sound asleep.

Li Zhengzhen walked in first.

Before Cao Butou could react, a pill the size of a peanut grain was thrown into Ye Fei's throat by Li Zhengzhen.

The medicine pill melts in the mouth.

The effect of the medicine was very fast, Ye Fei was awakened in a daze, and before he had time to react, the pill had already melted in his mouth.

Ye Fei only thought that the feeling just now was that he was choking on his own saliva.

Take Ye Fei to the Yamen.

When Ye Fei saw Liu Hongsheng, he felt guilty for a while.

After all, he betrayed Liu Hongsheng by writing a letter to lure Liu Hongsheng to Wangjiacun.

Gu Mingjue patted the hall with surprise: "The ones standing in the hall are Ye Fei, Fang Zhong, Yu San, Qian Shu, and Fan Er."

"My lord, it's grass people."

Five people replied.

Gu Mingjue asked again: "Wang Defa said just now that Liu Hongsheng, the head of the Liu family, sent five of you to Wang's village to arrest Wang Xiaogen. The purpose is to treat his son Liu Tianchao. Is there such a thing?"

Ye Fei and the others looked at Liu Hongsheng in unison.

This is what they were ordered to do.

So they all nodded.

Liu Hongsheng said: "Listen, everyone, I just want Wang Xiaogen to come to the Liu family to help the miracle doctor treat my son, and I don't want to kill him. They are troublemakers. They want the lion to open their mouths and want money from my Liu family. If they don’t agree, they become angry and want to sue me for murder. The poor have no money, so it’s reasonable!”

"Ah..."

After Liu Hongsheng finished speaking, he sneezed loudly.

It's cold.

Liu Hongsheng followed them to guard the sword all night, blowing in mid-air for half the night.

Even if he was wearing a fox fur coat, he couldn't stop the cold.

How did Liu Hongsheng know that Gao Ge did it on purpose, they had spirit energy to protect their bodies in mid-air, Wang Defa and Wang Xiaogen were protected by their spirit energy, the natural wind couldn't blow them, and they were still warm.

His open-top plane blew for an hour or two, so it's no wonder he didn't catch a cold.

Liu Hongsheng was not happy yet.

Ye Fei suddenly said: "No, that's not the case. Just now, Patriarch Liu ordered us to do so, but after we were arrested, Patriarch Liu didn't say that when he took people to Wangjia Village. He wanted Wang Defa to sell his son. Give it to him, let Wang Xiaogen take his life to save his son."

"You, Ye Fei. You are talking nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Patriarch Liu said that poor people's lives are worthless, and he offered 1 taels to buy Wang Xiaogen's life!"

Ye Fei finished speaking.

The pan was fried outside.

"Hey, Liu Hongsheng is really not a thing."

"That is, what does it mean that the lives of the poor are worthless? If it weren't for our hard work in growing food and vegetables, they would eat and drink whatever we planted, and look down on us, and don't look at themselves. Just a businessman who stinks of money."

"Yes, scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce. How dare you look down on us because of your low status."

When Liu Hongsheng arrived here, he was visibly flustered.

He didn't expect Ye Fei to say these words suddenly.

If it was in their hands before, it would be fine to trick him to save his life, but now he is in Jiangning Prefecture, on their own territory.

Why do you still say these words?
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the economy was actually more developed than that of the Tang Dynasty, and it basically reached the point where all the people were engaged in business.

However, the status of merchants in the Song Dynasty was still very low, because the imperial court's policy was to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, and there had always been very harsh commercial taxes on merchants.

Some local officials will try their best to collect their own taxes from merchants.

That's why Liu Hongsheng tried every means to climb up to Gu Mingjue, and gave his young daughter to this man who was only one year younger than him as a concubine.

Such is the way of the world.
