Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 156
The owner of the women's clothing store looked at Lu Yuan with a shy face and fear, holding 1 taels of silver in his hand, and begged: "My lords, the little ones are forced to do nothing, and I really dare not make random pricing and disturb the order of the market. The Zhao family asked me to do all the things, my lords are clearly aware of it!"

"Hehe." Lu Yao didn't wait for Lu Yuan to speak, and said with a sneer: "Half a quarter of an hour ago, didn't you keep saying that all the things in this store cost 1 taels of silver?"

"This... This is what the Zhao family asked me to do!" The boss yelled very unscrupulously: "Everyone on the street knows that I am a law-abiding businessman. I have been in business for more than ten years and have never done anything less than It’s a good thing, it’s something that’s not enough, this time it’s really forced to do nothing, you old man has to be clear about it!”

"So, we have wronged you?" Lu Yao sneered, and threw the clothes in his hand on the boss, saying: "This is what you said, the expensive clothes of Qi State, just transported to Xinyang City. It cost 8000 taels of silver, and now the Xinyang Order is here, please provide relevant documents to prove that this dress is indeed a valuable dress from Qi State."

"This..." The boss said with a pale face, "This is all nonsense made up by villains. These are clothes made in Nanyang. This..."

"Then you admit that what you said is false?" Lu Yao said with a chuckle: "According to the commercial law, if you are false, you will be fined ten times. Since you are false, then act according to the rules."

"According to what rules?" The boss stammered.

"Fake one will be fined ten!" Lu Yao said with a smile, "I bought your dress for 1 taels of silver. Now that you admit that your clothes are fake, you can refund me 10 taels of silver according to the rules. gone."

"10 taels." The boss opened his mouth, collapsed on the ground, and wailed: "Master, please let the little one go, even if you sell the little one, it's not worth 1 taels, the little one Where can I get 10 taels of silver to compensate you!"

"When you sold me a piece of clothing for 1 taels of silver, why didn't you say that? Aren't you rich? The clothes for 8000 taels of silver came from Qi State." Lu Yao sneered.

Among the crowd surrounded by excitement, there were a few businessmen who had just received Lu Yao's money, and they were also dumbfounded at this moment.

Waiting for the owner of the clothing store to be unlucky, it will be their turn next, a penalty of ten for a fake, a few taels of silver, they can get out dozens of taels of silver, hundreds of taels of silver can be taken out by gnashing their teeth, but It is simply impossible for them to take thousands of taels and tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The bosses gritted their teeth, took out the money that hadn't been warmed from their pockets, walked out of the crowd, knelt in front of Lu Yao, held up the money and said: "The little ones have no eyes, offended the adults, please look at the little ones." Some of them are old and some are young, and because life is not easy, let the little ones go."

"Hehe, that's not what you said just now." Lu Yao persisted and said, "I tell you, you can either pay back the money or see an official. You can decide for yourself."

After finishing speaking, Lu Yao turned his head to look at Lu Yuan again and said, "Lu Yuan, according to the laws of Great Qin, how should they be punished for this behavior?"

"Below 1000 taels, a fine, half a year of hard labor; 1000 taels to 5000 taels, a fine, one year of hard labor; 5000 taels to 1 taels, a fine of three years of hard labor; more than 1 taels, a fine of hard labor for five years From 5 taels to 10 taels, a fine of 10 years of hard labor with five members of the family; a fine of more than 20 taels, and [-] years of hard labor with ten members of the family.” Lu Yuan looked at the merchant in front of him expressionlessly.

Every word of Lu Yuan was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of several businessmen kneeling on the ground. One of them was so scared that he peed. As for the owner of the clothing store, everyone was dumbfounded. Hei is also considered the most serious crime. He even sat ten members of his family in hard labor for 20 years. It can be said that this generation of their family is ruined, and even the next generation is also ruined.

Where is the hard labor camp? The dirtiest and most tiring work in the whole city is done by the hard labor in the hard labor camp. They are not paid, but they are given a steamed bun a day. For those who have lived for three years, let him do hard labor for 20 years, that is to kill his whole family!

After thinking about it, the owner of the clothing store looked up to the sky and howled: "Masters of the Zhao family, where are you, please save us!"

After the owner of the clothing store finished speaking, Qian Guangda, the Prime Minister of Xinyang County, walked over solemnly with the pawns of the sixth house, the book office and a group of government servants.

Qian Guangda came up with a smile, looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Lord Lu, I heard that you have gathered a team to thoroughly investigate illegal activities in Xinyang City, why didn't you call me!"

Who doesn't know that you are from the Qian family?Lu Yuan sneered in his heart, and looked at Wang Mang, knowing that this was the Zhao family's backer.

Lu Yuan snorted, and said directly: "I am doing things, so I need to tell you, should I take you with me?"

Qian Guangda closed his smile, squinted his eyes and said: "Master Lu, could it be that he looks down on the subordinate officials? After all, the subordinate officials are also the county magistrate handpicked by the imperial court, and the county magistrate's deputy. What happens in this county, the county magistrate will not be able to deal with it logically." You should inform the lower officials, Lord Lu is not a local after all, and there are some things that Lord Lu doesn’t know very well, but the lower officials do, and it’s better for Lord Lu to call the upper and lower officials when doing things in the future, and it’s easier to do things in this city.”

"Are you teaching me a lesson?" Lu Yuan looked at Qian Guangda coldly.

"No, no." Qian Guangda shook his head and said, "I don't dare to teach Master Lu a lesson, I just give Master Lu a piece of advice!"

"Lu Yuan, this subordinate of yours doesn't give you much face!" Lu Yao fanned the flames.

Qian Guangda narrowed his eyes, glared at Lu Yao and said, "Bold and unreasonable, I'm talking, is it your turn to intervene? Someone, give me a slap!"

"How dare you!" Lu Yao stared.

"Slap the mouth!" Qian Guangda made it clear that he wanted to use Lu Yaolai to give Lu Yuan a bad impression.

At that moment, two yamen servants stood up directly behind Qian Guangda, and walked towards Lu Yao with grim smiles on their faces. No one should commit crimes above and above. Many people have been punished for being disrespectful. Now this person dares to be so presumptuous in front of Mr. Lu. He should be damned. Give me a slap in the face and let Mr. Lu know that I believe Yangcheng is a reasonable person. The place."

Qian Guangda made it clear that he fought back with an eye, biting Lu Yao to death and committing crimes, Lu Yuan didn't have any temper at all. People said, this is all your fault, Mr. Lu, and the lower officials are also for the upper officials.

But the people present were not limited to brothers and sisters Lu Yuan. When Wang Mang saw the two servants coming up, he walked forward with a smile on his face. With a wave of his hand, the two servants flew out, and with another wave of his hand, a slap fell on them. Qian Guangda's face.

Qian Guangda looked at Wang Mang in disbelief, covered his face and shouted: "Who are you, you dare to attack the imperial court official, come here, capture this person quickly, life or death will not matter!"
