"Your Majesty, Zhuang Bingsheng has already pleaded guilty. He is the murderer. We are willing to compensate the family of the deceased, so forget it."

Lin Qianru comforted her.

The dealer has given in and given Li Wei enough face. It stands to reason that Li Wei should let go. If he pursues the matter blindly, in the end, nothing can be found out, and he will lose face in vain.

"What if I still want to pursue it?"

"I'm afraid I will return in vain."

Lin Qianru said confidently.

If it was normal, it would be fine if Li Wei wanted to deal with the banker, but now is the critical moment of the confrontation between the power of the ministers and the monarchy, and the officials will not let the important chess piece of the banker be pulled out.

If there is no evidence, if Li Wei dares to act recklessly, all the officials will continue to persuade him, and Lin Qianru has already been notified to Ma Jinfei. At this time, the hero of the West City brought a group of disciples to mix in the crowd and let the people know that the emperor They don't want to make decisions for the people at all, they are just used by the emperor.

Li Wei, who has excellent hearing, naturally also heard the strange words in the crowd, and said coldly: "Bring up Mei Shan's body!"

Li Wei said that he would not bring a single soldier with him, but the inner guards dared not escort them. As soon as the words fell, someone disguised as an inner guard went to deliver the order, and a corpse was quickly carried up.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Wei suddenly bowed deeply to the corpse, causing an uproar in the audience.

"You, you, what are you doing, Your Majesty?"

"If it weren't for the quarrel between Zhuang Yunyi and I, your dealer wouldn't have vented his anger on Mei Shan, and she wouldn't have died. Speaking of which, I am also responsible for her death. According to the laws of the Great Qin, those who are exhausted to death will be beaten twenty times with a stick. Where is Ding Xi?"

"Wei Chen is here!"

"Hit me."

"Your Majesty, this..."

"beat!"

Lin Qianru hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, those who are tired to death are talking about debt collection and death, and words that cause death or..."

Li Wei didn't listen to Lin Qianru's nonsense at all, and said viciously: "Ding Xi, do you dare to resist the order?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not..."

Before he finished speaking, Ding Xi was frightened by Li Wei's murderous eyes, so he could only nod his head and let his men go down to find the water and fire stick.

As soon as they heard that the emperor wanted to eat the board, the people immediately fried the pot. They have lived so long, and they have never heard of any emperor who will be punished with a stick.

Ma Jinfei in the crowd snorted coldly and said: "Do you really believe it? Have you never heard of the allusion of cutting off the hair and replacing the head? Even if the emperor made a mistake, can he be punished? At most, he dragged the dragon robe and made people beat him Forget it, the Ninth Five-Year Lord, can he be beaten?"

When the surrounding people heard this, they nodded one after another. The emperor being beaten was something they couldn't even imagine.

"The emperor keeps his promises, how can he play such tricks!"

said a young man.

"You are still too young and don't understand anything. This is called buying people's hearts. Do you think the emperor really cares about the life and death of us little people? The emperor is a scholar-bureaucrat who controls the world. The scholar-bureaucrats have singers and servants in their families. The emperor really stands out for Mei Shan. Those grown-ups haven’t gone against the sky? They’re just looking for an excuse to clean up the dealer.”

The young man still wanted to refute, but everyone around agreed with Ma Jinfei's point of view, so he could only shut up.

"I took the water and fire stick!"

Hearing the shout in front, Ma Jinfei sneered and said: "Whether it is true or not, we will know by looking at it. This kind of method has been played badly in Pingshu and Xiwen. If I really hit the emperor, I will eat that stick!"

As soon as the words fell, the two apprentices beside him immediately echoed, and the common people also believed what Ma Jinfei said.

At this moment, Ma Jinfei was full of complacency. Hero of the West City, his name sounds like a bluff, but which official would look at him?

As a market figure like himself, he could defeat the current emperor's plan and make him suffer. This sense of accomplishment made Ma Jinfei feel like he was going to burn.

"Your Majesty, I, am I really fighting?"

Looking at Li Wei in front of him, Ding Xi asked nervously.

"I am the Son of Heaven..."

As soon as the words started, there was a burst of booing all around. Sure enough, the emperor couldn't be beaten, and even the corners of Lin Qianru's mouth showed disdain.

"I am the Son of Heaven, with the country and society on my shoulders, I can't kneel down, let alone get down, I'll be tortured standing up, hit me on the back, if you dare to betray me, I'll kill your whole family!"

Threatened by Li Wei's eyes, Ding Xi also knew that the emperor was serious, so he used [-]% of his strength to smash down with a stick.

"This time it doesn't count, Ding Xi, you bastard, you've been eating court rice noodles for nothing, why don't you have any strength at all!"

Li Wei roared angrily.

"Your Majesty forgive me, I will use my full strength."

"Take it lightly, I can't get around you!"

With a "bang", the water and fire stick landed heavily on Li Wei's back, and the strength finally satisfied Li Wei.

"Being beaten, the emperor was really beaten!"

Hearing the shout in front, Ma Jinfei couldn't help frowning, and immediately said: "Everyone doesn't know the methods in Gongmen. It looks like beating, but it actually hurts at all."

"It's broken! The dragon robes are all broken!"

"Acting is all acting. In fact, the emperor has nothing to do with it."

"The emperor was beaten and vomited blood!"

If it weren't for the crowd standing too close together, Ma Jinfei would have wanted to copy the guy and cut the front several times. He could shout out whatever he said, and slap him in the face from the air, which was obviously against him.

"Fake, it's all fake..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ma Jinfei was slapped hard on the back of the head.

After becoming famous, no one dared to do anything to him. Ma Jinfei was about to get angry, but found that he was beaten by a white-haired old man.

"You heartless bastard, fake? The dragon robe was smashed, and the emperor vomited blood. Could it be fake? If you have a little conscience, you won't be able to say such bastard words!"

"Yes, I've heard about this matter. In fact, it has nothing to do with the emperor, but the emperor apologized to the deceased and was willing to take the stick to beat him. Renjun, benevolent monarch through the ages!"

"Your Majesty is a good emperor, a good emperor who will stand up for our people!"

Hearing the cheers around him, Ma Jinfei hurriedly stopped the disciples who wanted to avenge him with winks. Today he understood what it means to be popular. Anyone who dares to say a bad word about Li Wei will be beaten to death.

Li Wei looked miserable, but when he was beaten, he had already exhausted his internal strength and was not injured at all. As for the blood, Li Wei spat it out after deliberately injuring his internal organs to enhance the effect.

Seeing the emperor being beaten with a rod, Lin Qianru was completely frightened.

"You, you, what do you want?"

"Lin Qianru, you high-ranking and important people have never looked down at your feet. Listen, listen to the voices of ants in your eyes. With them, why should I be afraid? You have money, power, and even soldiers. So what? With these people following you, you are nothing but stupid praying mantises standing in front of the wheel.

Today, I want to let you understand what is the vast ocean of people's war, you dealers, it is nothing more than a flat boat that will capsize at any time in the raging sea. "

Wiping the cold sweat off her forehead, Lin Qianru asked nervously: "Your Majesty, do you know the consequences of doing this? People out of control are floods. They can destroy my farm today, but they also destroy order! With Your Majesty's example today, there will be a great example in the future." Isn’t it true that as long as the common people are dissatisfied, they can mobilize them to besiege the rich and powerful’s homes? Up to now, no official has stood up to oppose you, don’t you know the reason?”

Needless to say Lin Qianru, Li Wei also understands that there is no official to stop, the sudden incident is one reason, but the other is willing, I am afraid that the officials are waiting to see him do whatever he wants.

As long as the people attack the Zhuang Mansion, Li Wei will become the first emperor in history to lead the people to rebel. How will he rule the country in the future?

Chapter 591 Ruling the country according to law

"You don't need to remind me, I have my own opinion today."

"What's your claim?"

"Hand over Zhuang Yunyi, and nothing will happen."

"Man, I can't hand it over, at least I can't hand it over."

At this time, the person Lin Qianru hates the most is not Li Wei, but Zhuang Yunxiao. She is only an adopted daughter, and her status in the family is not as good as that of her daughter-in-law. .

"If you don't pay, Mrs. Zhuang will be hurt."

"When it was time to decide whether to have a relationship with His Majesty, the bank in the house had already been emptied. Even if the house was raided, His Majesty would not get anything."

"Do you think that I only have gold and silver in my eyes? Heshengchang's success as the No. 500 bank is not based on silver, but on reputation and word of mouth. Today, I took the people to ransack the mansion, even if I didn't take a tael of silver, but as long as I claim to have stole [-] million taels of silver, will other people believe it? Will there be a run on Heshengchang?"

This time, Lin Qianru couldn't hold on any longer. The officials made it clear that they were watching the show and wanted to catch Li Wei afterwards. He Shengchang was abandoned by them. He didn't want to die, so he had to save himself.

"Okay, I am willing to hand over the person, but Zhuang Yunyi is really not in the mansion, so I really can't hand over anyone. I will go back with His Majesty, and I will give the people an explanation, how about it?"

"I'm not a kidnapper, what kind of hostage do you want? Just use the signboard of the Heshengchang head office as collateral. If you don't hand over the person in three days, the signboard will be burned."

"No! That's He Shengchang's face!"

"Are you sure you can't?"

Seeing the malicious smile on Li Wei's face, and looking at the group of angry people standing behind him, Lin Qianru sighed, "Your Majesty did something unexpected, you won this game, don't take off the signboard, three Within a few days, I will definitely send Zhuang Yunyi to His Majesty."

It was the first time that Li Wei heard that Lin Qianru was subdued. Li Wei turned around and said to the people behind him, "Zhuang Yunyi is indeed not in the mansion, but I assure you that within three days, within three days, the court will definitely arrest Zhuang Yunyi!"

After the cheers of the people gradually subsided, Li Wei continued: "You folks and elders have worked hard today. Now that the criminal has been convicted and will be arrested soon, everyone should leave."

This time, many people were stunned. After such a big battle, go back now?

Always feel like something is missing.

"Your Majesty, you smashed the banker!"

Suddenly there was a shout from the crowd.

"No, my Great Qin law has never stipulated that murderers have to ransack their homes."

"But let the dealer go like this?"

As soon as the words fell, voices of dissatisfaction continued to appear among the crowd, obviously unwilling to go back like this.

Lin Qianru sneered and said, "Ministers today know what water can carry and capsize a boat. Your Majesty, the game is too big, so it can't end, right?"

"Open your eyes and take a good look. You just saw how I turned my hands into clouds, now let's see how I turn my hands into rain."

After speaking, Li Wei took two steps forward with a face full of confidence, and said loudly: "Why did I bring you to the Zhuang Mansion today to seek justice for Mei Shan? Because killing and paying for life is recorded in the law, why should I do it myself?" Responsibility for receiving the cane? Because the law clearly stipulates that those who are tired and killed will be beaten with twenty sticks. Why don’t I confiscate the Zhuang’s mansion? Because the law does not stipulate that murderers should be punished by confiscating the house.

Everything I have done today is to let you and the people all over the world know that my Great Qin governs the country according to the law. Words are the foundation of my Great Qin's rule of the country, and will also become my Great Qin's ancestral system. The laws are majestic and cannot be desecrated. Even if it is me, I can't break the law!According to the laws of the Great Qin, robbing other people's property is punishable by imprisonment for more than three years, and for serious crimes, beheading. Do you want to challenge the majesty of the laws of the Great Qin? "

As if feeling that the atmosphere was not enough, Li Wei used his internal energy again, holding back a mouthful of old blood and spurting it out.

Li Wei's words were deafening, even the emperor would be punished for breaking the law, not to mention the little people like them, the aloof emperor would not hesitate to beat the banker hard in order to stand out for them, they still want to take advantage of it, it is too heartless.

Thinking of this, the people spontaneously knelt down and shouted long live, Ma Jinfei wanted to stand up, but found that many of his disciples also knelt on the ground, so he could only kneel down.

"Stay flat, let's go."

At this time, Li Wei had already possessed great authority among the people, and he truly had the constitution of heaven in his mouth. In a word, after the people thanked them, they began to disperse in twos and threes.

Li Wei kept watching the people, making sure that no one wanted to attack the Zhuang Mansion before preparing to leave.

However, he soon noticed that Ma Jinfei, who was tufted by countless disciples, walked over with a smile on his face.

Seeing Li Wei's methods, Ma Jinfei hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Get up, Ma Jinfei, you are everywhere."

The guilty Ma Jinfei hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the grass people are just here to have fun."

"Xicheng hero, is it possible to plead for the people?"

"Cao Min is reckless, not worthy of the word hero."

"You're right, with your virtue, you really don't deserve the word 'hero'."

Even though Li Wei was the emperor, he could humiliate his master in public, and the disciples around Ma Jinfei also showed anger on their faces, so scared that Ding Xi hurriedly brought someone to escort him.

"Aren't you convinced? The great chivalrous ones are for the country and the people. What have you done for the country and the people?"

Li Wei's words really caught their attention. To put it mildly, they are heroes of the rivers and lakes. To put it bluntly, they are street gangsters who extort protection fees and blackmail the people on weekdays. They have done all kinds of immoral things. Didn't do a few.

"I am going to set up the position of arresting robbers. Starting from the ninth-rank official position, I will lead a hundred patrols to maintain the law and order on Chang'an Street, and arrest and steal robbers. Ma Jinfei, are you willing?"

"Your Majesty, Cao Min was born in a rough place, I'm afraid I can't do it..."

Nodding his head, Li Wei actually stopped trying to win him over, and led him away directly.

Li Wei's arrogant attitude made Ma Jinfei feel resentful, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Ma Jinfei originally wanted to go to Lin Qianru to show his merits and ask for some rewards, but Lin Qianru didn't have the time to talk to her now, so she casually said a few words of comfort, and then led them away.

In the secret house of the Zhuang mansion, Zhuang Zhiming, who drank the ginseng soup, improved a lot. At least he didn't faint from the anger after listening to Lin Qianru's report.

Zhuang Zhiming lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking about, but Zhuang Yunxiao immediately exploded.

"That's unreasonable! Lin Qianru, what are you, you dare to push my fourth brother to death?"

"Master, under the circumstances at that time, do I have any other options?"

"What are you afraid of! Li Wei is bluffing. If you let him mess around, I don't believe it. He really dares to raid our house with rioters? He really dares to pick He Shengchang's signboard? Women are timid!"
