I'm playing tricks in Daqin

The only carpenter in the village went up to look carefully for a while, nodded and said: "It seems that it is the case, and the picture is not complicated. If there is wood, I can build it."

With enough labor and a way to divert water, Li Wei's plan became more credible, and the villagers started talking again.

"Money! Money! Rent bad horses, buy stones, buy wood, and build overturned carts. We all need money and food. How can we have it?"

"You don't, and neither do I."

"Since there is no one, what are you talking about? Seeing that we are easy to bully, do you intend to make fun of us?"

Li Xianfu pouted and said.

"I don't, but the Royal Bank does."

"What is Royal Bank?"

Facing a group of villagers who had never even seen a silver dollar, Li Wei could only briefly describe the functions of the Royal Bank.

"The emperor has long decreed that the Royal Bank will provide interest-free loans to the farmers, that is, they will lend you money without interest. When you have repaired the terraced fields and harvested grain, you will pay back the money when you have money."

"Is this possible? We don't believe it!"

Li Xianfu took the lead and shouted.

The Great Qin Law has long stipulated regulations on interest, but those who lend usury are either local wealthy families or businessmen supported by officials, and the law cannot be enforced.

For the villagers, they dare not borrow usury loans, but loans without interest will not be such a good thing at all.

Li Wei looked at Li Xianfu and asked, "Do you think there is no money in this world that doesn't require interest?"

"Of course not, just ask, even a three-year-old child in the village wouldn't believe it... Hey, what are you going to do!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Xianfu saw Li Wei jumping off the haystack and walking towards him, taking off his clothes while walking.

Li Xianfu had heard from the shopkeepers in the village about the corrupt lives of the rich and powerful, one of which was that the rich and powerful were all masculine.

Could it be that Li Wei is crazy and wants to mistreat him?

There are still so many people, you can't let him succeed.

Chapter 687 Mortgage

Just when Li Xianfu thought his innocence was ruined, Li Wei suddenly threw his official robe to an old man in the village.

"Official robes are famous treasures of the imperial court. If you dare to damage them, it is a felony. Every official cherishes the official robes very much. Today I will use this official robe as a mortgage. If the Royal Bank does not provide you with an interest-free loan , You can take your official robes and go directly to the Sheriff's Mansion to sue me.

If the imperial court knew that I had used my official robes as collateral, the lightest punishment would be to demote my job for the people. If it was serious, I might behead my capital. "

Hearing Li Wei's words, the old man instantly felt that the official robe in his hand was extremely heavy. This is not a simple piece of clothing, but all his future, wealth and life. This mortgage is not light.

"You, do you really want to do this?"

"I gave you the official robes, don't you believe me?"

"Believe! I believe!"

After speaking, the old man knelt on the ground directly, and other villagers also knelt down one after another, thanking Li Wei for his kindness.

Even Li Wei himself didn't expect that the official robes that were originally put on to frighten the villagers could play a big role at critical moments.

"Since everyone believes in my words, then we must act according to my words. There is still a difficulty in front of us, and we will have a good life when we pass it."

After Li Wei whispered a few words to several villagers, he walked out of the threshing ground alone.

"If you don't take good care of Qiu Jien, what are you doing here?"

"I'm worried about you... You, you were too powerful just now."

Ma Minjun has never seen such a person as Li Wei, he is not afraid of life and death, he can predict things like a god, and he can settle a seemingly impossible matter with a few words. The people who turned the tide in the book are just like this Bar.

At this time, Li Wei's eyes, which Ma Minjun was looking at, already showed admiration for little stars.

"The matter is over, let's go, go to the entrance of the village and wait."

Naturally, it was impossible for Li Wei to put the treasure on Ma Chuan'an, an unreliable Marquis. Li Renhe had already returned to the city before him, and sent the news to Tian Baoping.

Tian Baoping naturally didn't dare to be careless when the emperor was besieged. He didn't dare to reveal Li Wei's true identity, so he acted like a son of the cabinet and forced Zheng Xiangze to send troops.

When Ma Chuanan returned to the city, he happened to run into Zheng Xiangze and Tian Baoping at the gate of the city who were leading the officers and soldiers out of the city.

After the two parties met, they went straight to Lijia Village.

Under Tian Baoping's constant urging, it turned out to be a quarter of an hour earlier than the scheduled time.

The county guard came in person, no matter how unwilling the county soldiers were, they could only obediently give way, and under the supervision of the county camp, honestly put down their weapons.

"Lord Li, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Qiu Jien, you bastard, how dare you act so recklessly!"

When his benefactor came, Qiu Jien hurriedly knelt down, "My lord, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I thought I was being held hostage by them, so I was so anxious..."

Kicking Qiu Jien to the ground, Zheng Xiangze said with a smile: "Lord Li, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go back to the city first."

"The matter happened in Lijia Village, so it should be explained here."

"But here, there is no court..."

Seeing that Li Wei was unhappy, Tian Baoping interrupted directly: "You are the sheriff, wherever you are, there is the court, and the trial is here!"

"This...Okay, come here, set up the tables and chairs immediately, I want...I want..."

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Xiangze's body went limp and collapsed, and the guards beside him rushed to help him in fright.

"What's going on here?"

"This... my lord suffers from heartache. He was too exhausted to run around just now. It must be a relapse of his old illness! He must be sent back to the city as soon as possible and seek treatment from a doctor."

Zheng Xiangze's ruddy complexion didn't look like he was ill. After seeing Li Wei nodding slightly, Tian Baoping said impatiently, "Then let's go."

"Take, take some farmers with you."

Zheng Xiangze said "difficultly".

"That's good. After returning to the city, I will finalize the case directly, lest someone will find out the case again in ten days and a half months."

Li Wei had already agreed, so Tian Baoping naturally had nothing to say. After nodding in agreement, the soldiers, a total of thirty villagers, led Li Xianfu and other illegal villagers, and left in a mighty way.

"Your Majesty, how dare Qiu Ji'en intend to kill the king. The crime cannot be punished. I turned around and found a reason to behead him?"

"With the death of Qiu Jien, and the appearance of Zhang Jien and Wang Jien, I will soon eradicate all these black sheep. Before that, it is meaningless to deal with a small person."

With Tian Baoping, the son of the chief minister of the cabinet, sitting in the town, the county officials did not dare to mess around, and a team of nearly a thousand people returned to the city in a mighty manner.

After taking the medicine in the back hall, Zheng Xiangze, who was half dead, "recovered" in an instant, sat upright in the hall, and began to hear the case of treason in Lijiacun.

As soon as everyone sat down, Wang Guangcheng came to the lobby in a hurry, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "In Jinghuai County, there are lawless dignitaries oppressing the people, so that the good people have to shout slogans for rebellion, and the people are desperate to survive. The rich and powerful are oppressing me, I beg the governor of the county to make decisions for the poor people in Jinghuai County!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiangze seemed to know nothing, and asked, "Who is it?"

"Excuse me, I dare not say..."

"Bastard, my Daqin official is Qingming, and the emperor has said more than once that the prince breaks the law and the common people are the same crime. Now the son of the chief assistant of the dynasty is here, can't he support you?"

Tian Baoping was only a minor official of the sixth rank in the capital, but he had been familiar with it for many years, and he knew the officialdom well. Hearing this, he couldn't help shaking his head.

Before the trial, he lifted the emperor and himself out first, this is to gag his own mouth.

"My lord, the villain is above the lobby!"

"Oh, tell me who it is!"

"He! And him!"

Zheng Xiangze pointed to Li Wei and Ma Chuan'an and said.

Ma Chuanan did not expect that he would become the defendant all of a sudden, and said angrily: "You bastard, how dare you bite me carelessly?"

Zheng Xiangze sneered and said, "Why is Marquis Wen Yang so impatient? Could it be that he is worried that something will be exposed?"

"I am not afraid of the shadow slanting, what is there to be afraid of?"

Qiu Jien asked pretendingly: "That's right, Wang Guangcheng, do you know what crime it is to falsely accuse a powerful person?"

"Naturally, the lower officials know that the lower officials can swear to the sky that there is no false statement. If it is a false accusation, the lower officials are willing to sit back!"

"Do you have evidence?"

Tian Baoping asked.

"Of course, the villagers of Lijia Village are all witnesses, so I will let them go to the court, and accuse the crimes of the lawless and powerful in front of the adults!"

"Okay, you go and bring someone over."

As soon as Wang Guangcheng left, Zheng Xiangze sneered and said, "It is said that princes commit the same crime as common people when they break the law, but dignitaries are dignitaries after all, even if they violate the law, they cannot be treated in the same way as ordinary people. Marquis Wen Yang, are you right?"

"I did no evil at all!"

"You are also a powerful family, so do you need me to say more about the things in it?"

Hearing this, Ma Chuan'an also understood what Qiu Jien meant. In the officialdom, what you say is not important, what other people believe is important.

Wang Guangcheng is just a small official, but he dared to jump out and frame himself and Li Wei, even if he was a nobleman from the former Tang Dynasty, Li Wei was the royal family of the dynasty, if no one ordered it, it would be impossible, since he was framed, he would definitely be ready Sufficient evidence, evidence that can convince the officials of the DPRK and China.

After leaving Lijia Village, the villagers were controlled by the county soldiers. For such a long time, they had already been controlled by the county officials.

Thinking of this, Ma Chuan'an stomped his feet fiercely, and couldn't help complaining: "Really...you are just talking!"

"Father, at this time, we are also blamed..."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Minjun was frightened by Ma Chuanan's fierce eyes and shut up.

With a sneer, Li Wei stood up slowly and said, "With such a commotion, Wang Guangcheng must be sent out to call the villagers. The county guard must have something to say to us."

"As expected, you are from the capital, but you are smarter than the wealthy landowners in Jinghuai County. Master Li, you don't understand the situation in Jinghuai County, and you shouldn't meddle indiscriminately. Now that there is a commotion of official rebellion, if it is reported to the court, But a big deal.

If you come to Jinghuai County for a visit, we welcome you and will entertain you warmly, but if you want to dictate local government affairs, this officer cannot agree. As long as you leave immediately, the case will be over. "

"It's unreasonable! You have to deal with them, what do you want me to do!"

Ma Chuanan said angrily.

Zheng Xiangze didn't even bother to take a look at Ma Chuan'an, a former aristocrat. He just regarded him as air, and fixed his eyes on Li Wei.

Not to mention that Guiyuan Dao hadn't been eradicated, and the bad government in Jinghuai County hadn't been wiped out, Li Wei couldn't bear to force the emperor away just because Zheng Xiangze, a county guard, wanted to.

"Let me go? Impossible."

Ma Chuanan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ma Minjun, and could only stare at Li Wei resentfully.

"Don't leave? Hehe, I gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it. The emperor has always loved the people. I always submit the memorials to force the people to rebel. Will your majesty protect you, a son of the clan?"

"Are you so sure that you have the chance to win? Those who laugh first often don't laugh last."

"Haha, I'm young, and I know a lot of truths. I'll let you see today. As long as you have enough power, no matter when you laugh, you will be able to laugh until the end. You won't cry when you see the coffin? Okay, I will Let you hit the coffin hard, Wang Guangcheng! Bring him up!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Guangcheng, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately came up with a dozen villagers, all of whom were arrested before.

Seeing these people, Ma Chuanan directly sat on the chair, "It's over, this time it's really over, it's over!"

"Father, don't worry. I believe that with Lord Li around, nothing will happen."

"Impossible? This is the Sheriff's Mansion! Zheng Xiangze has made it clear that he wants to deal with him, so he can still make waves?"

Ma Minjun didn't think that Li Wei still had the strength to recover under such circumstances, but he still said firmly: "I believe in him!"

"Tell me how they persecuted you!"

Hearing Wang Guangcheng's words, Li Xianfu immediately asked: "What did your lord say? I don't understand."

Pointing to Li Wei, Wang Guangcheng reminded: "It's him, how to exploit you, don't worry, there is the county guard here, as long as you speak out, I will definitely make decisions for you."

Chapter 688 I knew I was wrong

"Master Li is a good official. He is very kind to us. If he wants to talk about it, he will only talk about his kindness. He has never exploited us."

Hearing Li Xianfu's words, everyone in the lobby was stunned, and Wang Guangcheng said in a low voice, "You understand me, if you don't say it, the government will not let you go! Don't think that it's a big deal because he is a son of the clan. It’s better to be in charge now, haven’t you heard of it?”

Normally, Li Xianfu would have been intimidated by Wang Guangcheng, but now Li Wei has mortgaged his official robes, and Li Wei will bring good times to the whole village.

Li Family Village has been poor for hundreds of years, no one knows. Anyway, when Li Family Village appeared, it has been poor all the time. Now Li Wei has the means and ability to make them live a good life. His descendants fight for a way out.

With confidence in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Li has never bullied us! No matter who asks, it is the same!"

"You, you are talking nonsense! Do you want to be in prison? He caught you!"

"My lords, I've been arrested by Master Li and I'm about to go to jail, but I don't mess around with you. This shows that I'm not lying!"
