Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 458: Withdrawal of the lawsuit...

Li Yuan was actually very curious about how Xia Lin was going to deal with these Japanese slaves. After all, it was really annoying to have these people coming here crying and making a fuss every day.

What was unexpected was that Xia Lin would take action the next day. He asked people to post big-character posters all over Chang'an City, which carefully described what happened on that day. He particularly emphasized that a live sheep was used to kill eight Japanese slaves and the man escaped unscathed. He said that anyone who knew about the incident would receive a reward of fifty silver coins.

This is a normal procedure, but at the same time, the whole Chang'an knew about it.

Someone used a sheep to knock down eight Japanese slaves, and even children began to imitate the situation at that time. In this era with few entertainment activities, ordinary people depended on this thing to survive, so the speed of spread was extremely fast, so fast that it was scary.

The Japanese delegation came here not only to do business with Li Yuan, they also wanted to negotiate business with other merchants. Now, everyone knew that these Japanese were fucking cowards. Eight people were beaten with one sheep each and had to go to the government to file a complaint. This was a huge joke.

The joke is one thing, and the other is that the main business they do with the Japs is to provide escort and transportation services. But the problem now is that once this happens, the Japs will no longer have any advantage in import and export, because their military strength is questionable. And if they hire an escort agency for each order, then the long distance and losses added together will not even be as good as local circulation by merchants from all over the country.

Almost overnight, the Japanese trade negotiations in Chang'an came to a standstill. They were no longer trusted...

This was the end of them. The prince could still endure the beating, as he was young and would recover soon. But the business collapsed, and the tens of thousands of taels of silver and various gifts they had given away were really wasted.

The delegation was anxious. Originally, they were indignant and went to Li Yuan to ask for an explanation, but now they were crying and begging Xia Lin to withdraw the lawsuit.

"Master Xia, please withdraw!"

"Withdraw?" Xia Lin's face suddenly became grim. He slapped the table and stood up angrily. "What do you think of the laws of our Great Wei? You said you want to arrest him, and I will do it for you. That is the Great Wei's negligence in supervision. But you want to withdraw? I'm sorry. This matter is a matter of the Great Wei's law. Do you think your country wants to interfere in the internal affairs of the Great Wei?"

This scared the Japanese delegation to death. Why is it said that the Ministry of Rites enjoys killing people with their knives? If they talk about the internal affairs and etiquette in a small fight, it will become a big deal. If it is not handled properly, both parties will sever their relations.

The delegation was even more anxious now than when the prince was beaten. After leaving Xia Lin, they immediately went to find Li Yuan and cried to him.

"I can do nothing about it. He is a Beijing official. You know he is not under my control."

"Your Majesty, please save us. Please, Your Majesty."

"This……"

"We will grant you whatever you ask for, Your Majesty. Please help us!"

Li Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll ask my third wife to talk to him. I don't have the ability to order him around."

The envoy called Sanniang back and told her his request. Sanniang sighed and said, "Everyone, this is not easy. I know that man. He is like a stone in the toilet of Wei Dynasty, smelly and hard. My father went to him to seek justice for you, but who knew that you don't want justice now."

"Your Highness, please help us!" The envoy was almost annoyed: "One more day, and we will lose tens of thousands of taels..."

"Come on, you are my guests now."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After the envoy left, Li Yuan looked at Princess Pingyang with a smile on his face: "Okay, you are really good. He solved the problem that was bothering me in one day?"

"Hey, father, isn't he awesome!"

Seeing Princess Pingyang's proud expression, how could Li Yuan not know what his daughter was thinking? He sighed, "Sanniang, it's my fault. If I could have let you meet earlier, it would have been great if he could have become my son-in-law..."

Sanniang should have been sad, but she didn't care at all. After all, the child in her belly was that guy's. Although he was not her son-in-law in title, he did everything a son-in-law should and shouldn't do.

"If he becomes your son-in-law, you will have a headache." Sanniang said with a smile: "In terms of talent, he and Erfeng are equally talented. There are two Erfengs in the family. What do you think, Daddy?"

Li Yuan's face turned serious and he no longer mentioned wanting Xia Lin to be his son-in-law.

Sanniang found Xia Lin at this moment. Xia Lin was sitting in the room, writing furiously and picking his toes. The princess frowned after entering and said, "You need to change these bad habits. Children will learn everything from their father. When they develop bad habits, they will never be able to change them."

"I know..." Xia Lin put on his shoes and asked, "Did the messenger come to look for you?"

"I did. This is your method. I almost didn't dare to recognize you that day."

Xia Lin laughed. "Go and tell the envoys to find someone from their inner circle and send him to me. I will then send that person back on the grounds that it is not convenient for me to interfere in diplomatic affairs. Then I will issue a notice saying that there is an assassin in their delegation and I gave them a laxative before attacking them, which made them weak and powerless."

Sanniang nodded repeatedly: "Amazing, one thing leads to another, this time they really got beaten for nothing."

"Of course." Xia Lin put his arms around Sanniang's hips and pulled her closer to him: "A man who can make you open your legs willingly must be amazing, right?"

"You bastard! Do you know how to talk?" Sanniang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I just praised you, and you are deliberately irritating me, right? Little thing, did you hear your father bullying your mother? You must pee on his face in the future!" Xia Lin laughed: "I am not afraid of my own son's pee."

"By the way, the New Year is coming soon, why don't you just stay here with me and spend the New Year."

"I have no objection. The key is to see when San Hu will come back."

"Huh?" Sanniang was stunned for a moment: "Sanhu is back? What does that mean?"

"When Sanhu comes back, you will come with me."

"What?" Sanniang was stunned for a moment: "But my eldest brother said... let Sanhu go in my place."

Xia Lin shook his head: "Li Jiancheng is lying to you, baby. This wild husband in front of you is the only one in the world who won't lie to you. Everyone else will. He wants Sanhu back so that he can get out of this situation, not to be your military supervisor. Even if he would say so, your father would not agree. He would say that Sanhu is frivolous and cannot be a military supervisor."

Hearing this, Sanniang smiled helplessly: "That's fine, anyway, I won't suffer if I follow my wild husband. Alas..."

"Don't sigh, this is all expected. Besides, this is a good thing. I have already written to ask Dong Niang to wait for us there. The baby will be born there, and I can take care of you."

"Well, after I get out, my life will be in your hands, as well as the life of my child."

After Sanniang finished speaking, she glanced at what Xia Lin was writing, picked it up and looked at it: "What is this?"

"I'm speaking for Master. Yesterday I was reflecting on why I was so impulsive, irrational, and reckless. I think it's because of my ego expansion and complacency, which is not a good thing. So I'm going to copy Master's teachings and keep them in mind."

"That's good. I'll use it as a family motto and have the kids copy it with you."

"Oh... kids, copy together."

"Well, it's settled. I'll go report to my father first."

"Kiss."

The princess bent down and kissed Xia Lin, then left.

Xia Lin looked at what he had copied and smacked his lips. "Children also copied... Three shots shattered the emperor's dream. Long live the people. Who are you?"

Sanniang went to report to Li Yuan, and Li Jiancheng was also there. They both praised Xia Lin for his resourcefulness. This was not against their will, but came from the bottom of their hearts.

The problem that gave them such a headache was solved by that kid with just a meal. This way of handling the matter can be said to be genius.

As an eyewitness to the whole incident, Sanniang felt that Xia Lin's operation was amazing. This was the level he should have. It might be a pleasure for him to take action, but it was definitely a loss of face.

Now the Japanese slaves had no choice but to swallow their anger. They had neither bargaining chips nor face left. They just got beaten for nothing and had to say thank you.

Sure enough, on the next day, the Japanese delegation handed over a man. Xia Lin recorded his confession according to normal procedures, and then said that this was their own internal affairs of Japan and it was not convenient for him to interfere, so he sent the man back.

Then, the whole city was informed of the thief's confession and signature, which instantly changed the image of the Japanese waste to a waste and ungrateful wolf...

This directly resulted in all their previous work in Chang'an being wasted, and they had to start all over again.

Not to mention beating them up, this would be more painful than killing them all. You have to know that the longer they delay here, the less capital they will have in domestic political struggles.

In order to resolve the issue here quickly, their negotiations with the Li family went extremely smoothly. The originally prepared sky-high price now had to be postponed and re-estimated, which made Li Yuan very happy.

In addition, there is another famous dish in Chang'an, which is said to be invented by a Hu people, called Dawoyang. The method is to steam the sheep's head, pour the soul juice on it, cut it in half, say "po gei" in your mouth, and then you can enjoy it.

The lamb must be old, with hard bones and steamed thoroughly, and the soul juice must be made from Japanese ingredients, so that it can be considered authentic.

Because of this incident, conflicts between the Japanese and the Hu people often occurred in Chang'an City during this period. Most of the time, the Japanese were no match for the Hu people, and they would be chased for two miles by the Hu people with their sheep heads carried.

This is the Japanese sheep...

It can also be considered a unique weapon.
