Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Chapter 348



After chatting with his father for a while, Wang Xiujin roughly guessed what his father meant. It was nothing more than that he was too active and too high-profile, which made some people feel uncomfortable and became a living target.Wang Xiujin couldn't help sighing, feeling that life is too tiring, no matter what you do, you will be disliked by others. If you do too well, people will dislike you, do nothing, and be belittled by others. How can you live a comfortable life?

Why can't those people who laugh at others and can't see that they are better than them can't reflect on themselves and stare at others?If you improve yourself, work harder, and put your mind to the right place, you won’t be able to see others well, how can you have time to know if others are good, and you have free time to enrich yourself. What’s the point of always thinking about calculating others when you have nothing to do.

The day of the public interrogation of the rebels will soon come. Wang Xiujin didn't want to join in the fun. A place with more people is more prone to accidents. He didn't want to be splashed with blood.However, he had to go, the presiding judge was the fourth prince, and the father was one of the four... Well, one of the jurors, he had to go and have a look, and if there were people who didn't have eyes, he had to look at them, so as not to be shot coldly. Followed by not long eyes.

The place of interrogation is conveniently in front of Meridian Gate. It seems that after the interrogation, he can be killed directly.Meridian Gate has a large open space. In my previous life, it was an excellent place for square dancing. Usually, there would be a tea stall in the corner. Now let alone a tea stall, it’s just standing. There was no place, and Wang Xiujin regretted running over to suffer.

Fortunately, the servant beside him didn't let Wang Xiujin squeeze in the crowd, and quickly opened a way for him. When he walked to the front, Wang Xiujin looked at the position where they were standing, and the corner of his mouth trembled uncontrollably. It's good, but it's definitely a place where blood can be splashed. Is it too late for him to change places now?

Before Wang Xiujin could express his thoughts in the future, he heard a commotion and looked along the sound, and saw something moving from a distance, and there seemed to be something flying up.A tall and burly servant whispered to the master, "The prison cart is coming, and the people on both sides of the road are throwing things on the prison cart. It looks like vegetable leaves and eggs."

"Blind eggs. Eggs are not cheap now. A few days ago, when the grain store collected eggs, it had already risen to one copper coin or two. In the past, it could collect four or five. If it rises further, the collected eggs can no longer go out. If it is sold, it may not be bought by anyone.” Wang Xiujin talked about the high cost of eggs and the extravagance of the common people, so it’s not good to throw them away, what’s the use of throwing eggs, what a waste!

"Master, those eggs must be stinky, no one would be willing to throw good eggs out." Hearing Wang Xiujin's words, the servant was delighted.

"Smelly?" Stinky, it also means that the life of the people's homes is better, otherwise how can the eggs stink.Wang Xiujin looked at the people around him. He said that the clothes of the people today have changed a lot compared to before, and their mental state has also changed a lot. There are fewer idlers in the capital and many more busy people. This kind of development is It is beneficial to let people slowly get rid of relying on God's winks to live for a year, which is much better.

"Master, wait for the prisoners to come down, please stand back, so as not to smoke the master." The servant has smelled the smell of rotten eggs, one or two alone, it makes people uncomfortable, so many rotten eggs hit people, and then After being exposed to the sun, the smell may be very bad.Wang Xiujin nodded, he also felt that the smell would not be very good.When the prison car approached, Wang Xiujin could smell a stinky smell. This smell was really strong enough, those prisoners couldn't smell it?

"It's not that they can't smell it, but the smell on them is not necessarily less than that of rotten eggs." Li Sushan, who came over at some time, stood beside Wang Xiujin.

Wang Xiujin was stunned for a moment, did he express his doubts just now?Turning to look at Li Sushan, "The practice field? Is it your soldier?"

"No, I just brought people over to observe. It is my father's soldiers and the imperial guards who are responsible for the safety of the court." Li Sushan looked around at the people around to see if there were any people who were mixed in the crowd and wanted to do something.

Wang Xiujin also looked around and found nothing unusual. Looking at the prison car that was slowly stopping, his father was really ruthless. Among these people, each of them had "rebellion" stickers on their heads. The big characters are particularly blood red, and I don't know how many people's blood has been stained.

The establishment of a dynasty can only be exchanged for the blood of countless people, but looking at history, all the dynasties that were overthrown were decadent. A dynasty like Daliang, which was at its peak, has never been successfully overthrown. It was the Song Dynasty. Still fought against the Liao Kingdom for a long time, and it was not destroyed. At this time, Daliang was quite strong in terms of economy, military, and agriculture, and the people had a strong sense of belonging. Just ask someone. , ask them, are you willing to change the dynasty?No one would say yes, and they were even worried about whether the next emperor would be as wise as the current one, let alone an emperor whose surname had changed.These people also have no brains. They don't even have a general, so they think they can overthrow a prosperous dynasty. Who will give them confidence?Wang Xiujin couldn't help shaking his head.

"The fourth prince is here!" After the prisoner in the prison van was brought to the interrogation position and knelt down, a personal attendant sang, waving his whisk.

Then I saw an iron tricycle slowly appearing in front of my eyes, the rider in front was the guard who often followed the fourth prince, the fourth prince was sitting in the back pocket of the cart, and the two sides of the cart were accompanied by people who were walking quickly. The posture made Wang Xiujin feel funny no matter how he looked at it, and he had to suppress it. If he dared to laugh, no matter how good his personal relationship with the fourth prince was, the fourth prince would also alienate him. Maybe the relationship established over the years would be destroyed. Disappeared because of this smile.

The fourth prince was very imposing. After getting off the carriage, he walked steadily to the highest seat and sat down. The four adults on the jury saluted the fourth prince before taking their seats.The fourth prince looked at the dozen or so ministers who were kneeling. These people were thinking about their family, how could they bear it? His gloominess dropped a little bit, and that's it, his face is still not good-looking.

The startle sounded, and the public interrogation officially began. The ministers present had already grasped the criminal evidence of the rebels. Of course, the evidence was not too strong. If these rebel ministers wanted to plead not guilty, they might have a headache.Because more and more people were chasing after the prison van, Wang Xiujin really saw some people with the label "troubleshooting" on their heads, which really reminded his father.The thinking of the ancients... Wang Xiujin looked up at the sky, but he couldn't understand it.

With the appearance of troublemakers, how can those who want to take advantage of the chaos fall too far, approaching little by little... Then Wang Xiujin found a person who came here with a purpose, the same as before he let shopkeeper Wang The policemen who brought it to the fourth prince started arguing.what's the situation?Are the two old grudges or what?Wang Xiujin asked the guard to go over to have a look, but he didn't support the policeman, and he couldn't let the policeman mix in with the purposeful crowd.

Wang Xiujin has been keeping an eye on the catcher, and before the servant he sent to get there, the catcher knocked down the man with ulterior motives very quickly, and Wang Xiujin gasped.That punch naturally caused a commotion, but fortunately the servant Wang Xiujin sent over reacted quickly and held down the person who was knocked down.When the soldiers and guards sent over saw that they were servants of the general's mansion, they all thought that the downed man was robbing the execution ground, and immediately went over to tie him up.The servant wanted to explain a few words, but was quickly stopped by the arrester, he shook his arm, and then punched the tied man in the nose again. "I've been upset with you for a long time, and I finally have a chance to beat you up."

"What's going on?" Li Sushan turned his head and asked Wang Xiujin.

Wang Xiujin shook his head, "I don't know what's going on, I just know the one who just shook his fist. I still remember that not long ago, I told you about a policeman who was kicked out of the Yamen, that's it."

Li Sushan raised his eyebrows, and then looked at the person who was tied up and beaten, "The one who was caught was a small official in the yamen, maybe he was in the same yamen as the arrester."

Wang Xiujin touched his clean chin, thinking it was very possible.The fourth prince led four ministers to interrogate the conspirators, while the imperial guards and soldiers interrogated the errands in a certain yamen who had been tied up.This man is not stupid, after being tied into the door, he kept talking about his identity, and that the person who beat him should be arrested.This person only knows that the expelled arrester hugged the imperial merchant's thigh, but he doesn't know who he is working for now. He thinks what the imperial merchant is. The imperial merchant's house was sealed off, his shop and workshop were sealed off, and he was left with nothing. Watch him kneel down and buckle down three times to make big salutes.

The little abacus is very good, but whether it is the soldiers who tied him up or the guards, none of the officials in the yamen have heard what he said. Looking at the entire capital, there must be at least a thousand or eight hundred officials. A small errand is nothing, even if he is executed, there is no shortage of people to take his place.

The interrogation in front of the Meridian Gate was not too anxious. The people whose eggs and vegetable leaves were smashed did not betray the water as Wang Xiujin said. Looking around, all kinds of labels are mixed together. It is really tiring to see what the person under the abnormal label looks like, especially when others can't see it, and only he can see it. One urgent.

I don't know where the confidence of the prisoner came from, but the one who was tied up didn't have much confidence. He couldn't stand it anymore, and he said everything he could say. Now he just wants to invite the officials Forget about his cowardice today.
