He Zheng, the reborn woman

Chapter 249 Lin Xicong Embarrassed

"They said no." Shen Lan looked at Hu Changliu.

"Of course these profiteers won't say that they hid grain and grass." Hu Changliu spoke righteously now.

Because someone has already notified Coach Lin. Although Hu Changliu is a gangster, he has also developed the ability to observe words and emotions. The reason why he hugged Lin Xicong's leg tightly was because he discovered the real power between Lin Xicong and Qin Hongyi. It's still in Lin Xicong's hands.

"Since they said no, and you said yes, then this matter will have to be re-examined." Shen Lan said simply, and then turned to those who stood aside, "Folks, Xiacheng has just experienced a war. I also know that everyone is anxious, but now that the king has no way, even if you go out, you have no place to go. The court is now wantonly arresting people as conscripts. This may be the end of your exile. Calm down, the King of Qin will definitely not abandon you Never mind."

The people began to discuss, the storyteller in the teahouse said that the world outside is very chaotic, they have already believed it to a certain extent, now that they think about it, it will be the same no matter where they are, if the king of Qin will become a good king, it will be a blessing for the people what.

Lin Xi never thought that Shen Lan would intervene in this matter, so when someone came to report, he was slightly stunned, and thought for a while not to show up. After all, he didn't want to confront Shen Lan head-on, especially in front of so many people. .

But Shen Lan won't let him go, it's fine if he doesn't come, Qin Hongyi will send someone to invite him, if even the king of Qin doesn't send someone to invite him, it's just fine.

"Veteran see King Qin." Lin Xicong saluted respectfully.

Qin Hongyi glanced at him without telling him to get up: "Lan'er, I'm tired, so I'll leave this matter to you." He closed his eyes after speaking with great difficulty.

"Boss Lin, long time no see." Shen Lan said lightly, with a condescending posture.

That day when Lin Xi started to see Shen Lan and Qin Hongyi, he entered the city. At that time, Qin Hongyi was injured, and Shen Lan didn't even look around. Later, Lin Xi avoided meeting Shen Lan as much as possible, and Shen Lan didn't want to see him, so this Once was the first time two people met in Xia City.

"Thank you Mrs. Qin for thinking about it." Lin Xicong only admitted Shen Lan's previous identity.

"I want to know why Coach Lin killed them for no reason?" Shen Lan went straight to the point.

"These rich merchants hid food and grass privately, drove up prices, and disrupted the order of Xiacheng." Lin Xicong hated it in his heart, but Qin Hongyi and Shen Lan didn't let him get up, so he could only kneel down. In name, he was a minister.

"But they said no."

"Of course they won't admit it?" Lin Xicong felt that Shen Lan's words were naive.

"Then can I say, of course Coach Lin would say that?" Shen Lan said lightly.

Shen Lan's sharp words did not leave any leeway, leaving Lin Xi at a loss for words.This is what Shen Lan said, if she has absolute ability, she doesn't even bother to use means.

"They should be beheaded according to the law." Lin Xicong said firmly.

"Beheaded according to the law? What law did Commander Lin follow?"

"The descendants of King Qin's former queens, of course, follow the laws of Nanping." Lin Xicong felt that Shen Lan's behavior was difficult to deal with, and this kind of behavior of tearing up his face and not having any scruples about future contact was really hard to resist.

"Then the Nanping law states that merchants must provide all their wealth to those who disobey the imperial court and attack the city?" Shen Lan was aggressive.

Lin Xicong's identity immediately became embarrassing. He followed the laws of Nanping, but what he was doing now was plotting against Nanping. He jumped into the trap he dug before.

The crowd began to whisper, this was the first time they saw that the commander-in-chief was at odds with the King of Qin, and the King of Qin was protecting the interests of the people of Xiacheng, so who ordered the materials that were forcibly confiscated before?
"Merchants and merchants circulate goods, make up for what is lacking, and flow what is overflowing, so as to meet the needs of the people. As long as it is not forced to buy and sell, practice fraud, and hoard necessities to harm the interests of the people and seek huge profits, merchants can earn due profits. Why not?" Shen Lan said loudly, "If Commander Lin said that they hid food and grass privately, those grains and grass would belong to them. Just behead them to show the public, I don't know what is the intention of Coach Lin?"

Lin Xi was confused when he heard it. He never thought that Shen Lan would stand up for a few businessmen. Although businessmen are rich but have no status, they will be hated by some people who hate the rich. He didn't expect Shen Lan to speak plausibly, as if the businessmen were charity like home.

Everyone also whispered to each other, saying that if there were no merchants, there would be nothing.

Qin Hongyi laughed inwardly when he heard this, but he didn't expect Shen Lan, who was full of crooked ideas, to talk about the truth one by one.

At this time, Xuandu handed over a dozen booklets to Shen Lan, on which were the ledgers of the three commercial firms, as well as property statistics, which was Xuandu's strong point.

Shen Lan only looked at the above conclusions, and she didn't have time to look at these things: "Boss Lin, these are the books and property statistics of these three firms, which show that all their current supplies are the result of their own legal operations, and Since the king of Qin entered Xiacheng, they have not raised prices. This is already very rare. Just imagine if these commercial firms were raided by Commander Lin and all the grain and grass were confiscated, there would not be many places where the people of Xiacheng could buy food. , Could it be that Coach Lin wants to take out the military salary?"

Everyone heard that if these people's grain and grass were confiscated by the army, they would have nothing to eat, and they were all excited. The disdain and hatred for these businessmen before disappeared immediately. On the contrary, they have never hoped that they can live well. alive.

"The old minister didn't mean that." Lin Xicong's eyes widened, he didn't expect Shen Lan to target him like this.

In the past, he could go to see Qin Hongyi and suppress him lightly, but now that Shen Lan was by his side, he didn't want to prove his eyes to Shen Lan, so there was no chance of seeing Qin Hongyi, but now Qin Hongyi closed his eyes. The eyes seemed to have fallen asleep.

"Then what does Coach Lin mean?" Shen Lan saw that it was almost the end.

"It's the old minister's negligence." Lin Xicong said hastily, now is not the time to be serious with Shen Lan, and Shen Lan never gave him a chance to say no.

"That means they are not guilty, so how will Commander Lin deal with those who are negligent? He can't chill the hearts of the people in Xiacheng." She turned aside Hu Changliu as she said.

Hu Changliu noticed Shen Lan's gaze, and couldn't help but shivered. It seemed that he was going to be a dead ghost today.

Of course, Lin Xicong, a ready-made scapegoat, would not let it go unused: "Hu Changliu, how do you do things? Someone will suppress him, and he will be dealt with by military law."
