Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

This incident frightened Changsun Wuji, he did not expect Qin Mu's wrist to be so iron-blooded.

The servant of the household department is a fourth-rank official who holds real power.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Changsun Wuji gasped as he looked at Qin Mu and Li Er, who were facing each other.

At this turbulent time, he was afraid that the two would fight again.

"Wang Zongyuan, what are you going to do with it?" Li Er ignored his elder Sun Wuji and continued to ask.

Hearing these words, Qin Mu turned his head and looked at Wang Zongyuan who was kneeling in front of the tombstone, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Don't you already have the answer in your Majesty's mind? Why bother to ask more."

Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Mu, pretending to be angry and said: "Mu'er, you are messing around, Wang Zongyuan is absolutely right, that is also governed by the law, and governed by the Ministry of Punishment."

"You hijacked Wang Zongyuan here privately, and you have turned Chang'an City upside down."

Changsun Wuji didn't blame Qin Mu in his heart, and even applauded secretly.

He said this because he was afraid that Li Er would say it.

"You can do whatever you like, I can't control you anymore."

After Li Er finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.

Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Mu, and then at Li Er who was leaving.

Confused.

what's the situation?

When did Li Er talk so easily?

Wang Zongyuan just let Qin Mu deal with it?

"Your Majesty, wait for my minister." Changsun Wuji didn't care about talking to Qin Mu, so he gave him a wink and went after Li Er.

"Jun Xian, bring those account books and criminal evidence, and return to Chang'an to hand over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to thoroughly investigate the pension money corruption case. I will arrest all the officials involved regardless of their background, identity, or official position."

Li Er said as he walked, the emperor's aura was blessed again.

The war between the five surnames and Qiwang began with the pension money corruption case.

Qin Mu looked at the back of Li Er's leaving, and walked slowly towards the cemetery with a knife in his hand.

Piff was furious and blood spattered five steps.

"Qin Mu, you... what are you going to do, I'm the servant of the household department."

Wang Zongyuan looked at Qin Mu who was coming with a knife, his eyes were full of fear.

In his life, he had never seen such a crazy and reckless person.

Qin Mu walked towards him step by step, and said with a cold snort, "What? A dignified man with five surnames and Qiwang, a dignified servant of the household department, is also afraid of death?"

"Gold, I can give you gold, as long as you are willing to spare my life, I will give you as much as you want, please... please let me go."

Wang Zongyuan screamed heartbreakingly.

Qin Mu chuckled, and said quietly, "If you were given a chance to be a new man, would you reform yourself?"

Wang Zongyuan's eyes flashed, thinking that Qin Mu had figured it out, "I will, I will..."

Swish.

A cold light flashed, blood splashed, and Wang Zongyuan's head flew into the air.

Qin Mu looked at Wang Zongyuan who was slowly falling, and said indifferently, "It's late."

Qin Mu stepped forward and touched Chu Donghao's tombstone, "Donghao, brothers, your revenge has been reported to Qin Mu, I hope your spirits in heaven can rest in peace."

Chapter 98: Wang's Counterattack

The next day.

The flames are in the air.

Chang'an City.

Fan Ruida, magistrate of Jingyang County, was killed, and the news of the beheading of Wang Zongyuan, the minister of the household department, swept away from Chang'an City to the whole Tang Dynasty like a hurricane.

Qin Mu was once again pushed to the forefront.

Except for those people from aristocratic families, the rest are all applauded again and again.

This wave of common people ignorantly supported Qin Mu.

After all, what he did this time was a good thing for the country and the people.

To deal with corrupt officials, such extreme means should be used, beating first and playing later.

If you don't let them know what pain is, they won't be afraid for the rest of their lives.

Like before, he was greedy for 100 million taels of silver, and used 50 taels to manage his relationship, and then returned to Gu Li with the remaining 50 taels in his arms to enjoy his old age.

What is the point of such a trial?

It will only make corrupt officials and officials go forward and become more corrupt.

In the end, only those people who were still kept in the dark were hurt.

And apart from Qin Mu, I am afraid that there is no one in Datang who has such courage.

Groups of guards with sabers and thousands of cattle ran around Chang'an City, and all the officials involved in the pension money corruption case were found out.

Even if it is under the command of Wuxing Qiwang, no one dares to protect it.

The officials of the aristocratic family know that the butcher's knife in Li's second hand has gradually been raised.

This time, never die.

at the same time.

The Li family of Longxi, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Boling, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Zheng family of Xingyang, and the Wang family of Taiyuan all came to Chang'an City.

Prepare for imperial power.

Fifteen days later.

The pension case was concluded and all officials involved were brought to justice.

When everyone thinks that the aristocratic family seems to be willing to suffer this dumb loss.

In Chang'an City, an accident finally occurred.

The price of salt, one of the daily necessities of the people, has nearly tripled, and the supply is limited.

This makes the people who are not rich already worse.

In a short period of time, even the imperial court was powerless to raise the price of salt this time.

During the reign of Wude, in order to raise money and food and get the support of the aristocratic family, Li Yuan handed over the right to sell official salt to the Wang family of Taiyuan.

Selling official salt became the privilege granted by Li Yuan to the Taiyuan Wang family.

After these years of operation, the Wang family has controlled nearly [-]% of Datang's salt industry, which is also the reason why the Wang family is rich and powerful.

It is conceivable how profitable the sale of salt is.

(Guide to anti-barrel: The opening of the salt chapter is purely fictional, just for entertainment, don't take it seriously, and don't correct it according to the textual research party.)

Chang'an City.

Royal Palace.

Ganlu Temple.

Li Er sat in front of the copybook, his brows were tightly furrowed, the one that should come still came.

"Your Majesty, the price of salt in the city has risen again. If the Wang family is allowed to continue like this, the common people will not even be able to afford salt. We have to find a way."

Changsun Wuji stood beside Li Er with a sad expression on his face. He didn't expect Wang's counterattack to be so fast, and the first move was a killer move.

"What can I do?" Li Er was also at a loss, with a distressed expression on his face, "All the salt ponds in the grassland were destroyed by the Turks, and all the official salt in Shandong went into the treasury of the Wang family. Is it possible that you want me to fight against you?" To grab it?"

Now, the last thing Li Er can't use is force.

In the pension money corruption case, Li Er stood on the side of justice and showed no sympathy. No matter whether he was a nobleman or a prince of an aristocratic family, anyone who was involved was arrested and sent to the prison.

If he uses force to suppress it again, the landlords, aristocratic families and officials in the world may all be turned against each other.

After all, although Wang's methods were bad, he did not violate the law, and the sale of official salt was promised by the court himself, and he also took advantage of Wang's hands.

Fang Xuanling's eyes rolled, and he said quietly: "We can take back the right to sell official salt from the Wang family, but it will take time, at least half a year."

"However, even if we get back the right to sell official salt, it will be difficult to bring down the price of salt in a short period of time based on the current output."

"Sigh." Li Er sighed, "Damn Wang, you dare to challenge me like this. If I get the chance, I will definitely wipe them out."

Changsun Wuji said angrily: "If not, I will personally go to the Wang's mansion and confront them face to face, to see what they really think, at worst, I will die."

"To find Mrs. Wang?" Li Er looked at him with a cold face, "Aren't you slapping me in the face? In the past few days, they only played one trick and we couldn't wait to talk to them about terms?"

"You will only make them more arrogant and unscrupulous."

"Let me think about it. If I can't think of a way, you don't want to go back to the house. I take care of food and drink. When you think of a solution, when will you go back to the house."

Li Er's face was gloomy, and the butcher knife he just raised was restrained by Wang Shi.

This battle was more difficult than he imagined.

Mangya Village.

Chamber.

Several key members of the village gathered together, Wang's revenge on Qin Mu and Li Er started at the same time.

They dare not come to Mangya Village, and they dare not break into the Qin Mansion.

But they have other ways.

"My son-in-law, this is the third time our wine convoy has been attacked." Xu Gongqing looked at Qin Mu and sighed.

The winery in Chang'an City was the only source of income to support the development and construction of Mangya Village, and now it has been brutally murdered.

Qin Mu remained expressionless, and said calmly, "Is there nothing wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Xu Gongqing replied: "Those gangsters only targeted the wine on the carriage, and they left after destroying the wine barrels, so they didn't hurt the lives of the transportation team."

Xu Zhaolin said quietly from the side: "My son... my son-in-law, a fire broke out in the winery in our West City last night, and the shop and the wine storage were completely burned."

"It also burned down two nearby shops, and now the shopkeepers of these two shops are asking us for compensation."

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of everyone in the hall became even heavier.

This can be regarded as cutting off the source of income for Mangya Village.

Now that Mangya Village is under construction, it is time to need money.

"What's wrong?" Qin Mu glanced at the crowd and smiled slightly, "Aren't I still standing here? The sky is falling or what?"

"It's just that the business road was cut off and the wine shop was burned down. Do you need to be so depressed?"

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the sky won't fall."

Xu Zhaolin's eyes were scarlet, "My son-in-law, who is it that hates me so much in Mangya Village?"

"Who else could it be?" Wang Xuance snorted coldly at the side, "Except for those bastards of the Wang family, who else has such guts, and who can have a grudge against our Mangya Village."

"Don't let me catch them, or I will have to chop them up and feed them to the dogs."

As Wang Xuance said, he clenched his fists tightly. He was really angry.

Everyone stared at Wang Xuance in a daze, they didn't expect that the always taciturn man would say such a thing, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

Xue Rengui echoed from the side: "Xuance's words are correct, it must be those bastards who suffered thousands of knives, and sooner or later they will be dealt with."

Both of them are strong men, so how can they bear this anger.

Chapter 99: Hongmen Banquet

"Forget it." Qin Mu looked at the two of them, waved his hands, and said casually, "It's just a bunch of scumbags. Apart from using some dirty tricks to make people feel bad, there's nothing wrong with it."

"Xuance, you will go to Chang'an in a while, compensate the loss of those two shops that we have implicated, and then set up a new shop. The location doesn't matter. After all, the reputation of Zuixianniang has already been sold, so don't worry about it. market."

Wang Xuance nodded, and responded, "Okay, I'll go right away."
