Li Shimin

Chapter 253 Your Majesty Has Opened His Eyes
"Insulting Sven!"

"All the barbarians, in front of His Majesty, are full of foul language, shameless!"

Now, all the family and faction officials couldn't bear it anymore.

Although Cheng Zhijie, a vulgar barbarian, doesn't have much say in political affairs.

However, talking disgusting!
"Your Majesty, Su Guogong has slandered this humble minister!"

"Your Majesty, my ministers and others are loyal to His Majesty, and everything they say is for the sake of the people of the world..."

In terms of scolding, the officials of these aristocratic families and factions have already known in their hearts that they are definitely not opponents of barbarians like Cheng Zhijie.

Therefore, after a few words, he looked at Li Shimin with an aggrieved face.

Today, they came for the matter of salt.

"I already know the cause and effect of this matter. It is all those treacherous salt merchants maliciously raising prices and exploiting the hard-earned money of the common people. I will never tolerate this matter!"

Li Shimin's face was cold.

All the officials were full of astonishment.

His Majesty's attitude today is so tough?
"Where are the left and right generals Wuhou?"

Li Shimin continued to shout.

"Your Majesty, I am here!"

Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde hurriedly stood up and bowed their hands in salute.

"Salt merchants in Chang'an City have no kingly law. For their own self-interest, they have raised the price of salt for no reason, causing nearly ten thousand people to be unable to eat salt. All Marquis Wu, immediately arrest all treacherous salt merchants!"

"Follow Your Majesty's orders!"

Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde responded quickly.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

Seeing this, the faces of all the family officials changed drastically.

"Hmph, such a lowly salt merchant, who is doing harm to the common people, should be arrested. Why do you love those salt merchants so much?"

Li Shimin said coldly.

"Could it be that you are speaking for those black-hearted salt merchants like this, could it be that you are really as Su Guogong said, those salt merchants bribed you?"

"Your Majesty clearly learned that the ministers absolutely have nothing to do with those salt merchants!"

Hearing this, all the officials bowed their hands in fear, and did not dare to say more.

But in his heart, he was full of surprise and suspicion. His majesty's attitude was a little tough and unreasonable!

However, if all the salt merchants were imprisoned, wouldn't it be even more difficult for the people in Chang'an City to eat salt?What is the reason, to give this Majesty the confidence?

After going down.

Sitting upright in the mansion, waiting for His Majesty to compromise, the stewards of the aristocratic families did not hear the news that the Xueli salt shop was closed, but instead heard the news that all the salt merchants in the city were arrested.

Immediately, all the stewards of the aristocratic family were blown up!
"You can see clearly, are those salt merchants captured by Marquis Wu?"

"Back to Mr. Lang, the villain can see clearly that all the Marquis Wu guards in the city have been mobilized, and all the salt merchants have been imprisoned, and all the salt shops have been sealed!"

"Why is he so bold?"

"Could it be that he really thinks that we are so easily deceived by the aristocratic family?"

"I'll report back to the family that all salt shops across the country will stop selling salt!"

"These words are different. The one who dares to be so tough must have his confidence. We haven't figured out the situation yet, so we can't act rashly!"

"Hmph, I didn't expect your Zheng family to become so weak after hooking up with His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"Huh? What do you mean by this? What's wrong with your words? Could it be that you really want to fight to the death with that person?"

"Is my family so easy to deceive?"

"Okay, everyone, don't be so angry, there will be news soon, listen to what happened in the court meeting..."

"Humph……"

……

Wuhou Prison!
The prison, which was originally empty, suddenly became miserable as a group of salt merchants moved in.

"If you treat someone like this, are you afraid that there will be no more salt in the world?"

"Hey, a group of pickled people, I still want to think about how to get out!"

"A certain salt merchant has people behind him, so you are not afraid of revenge from the people behind us?"

"Yo, your family is following His Majesty's order, so is it possible that you want to take revenge on Your Majesty?"

For all the salt merchants, all Marquis Wu has long been unhappy.

It's just that I have been suffering from the prestige of the family, so I dare not be too harsh.

Now, hearing that His Majesty wants to arrest these salt merchants in Marquis Wu Prison instead of the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment or the prisons of Wannian County and Chang'an County, I understand His Majesty's intentions.

For these salt merchants, they naturally have no good attitude.

If there is no accident, these salt merchants will not be able to get out.

Hearing Marquis Wu's words, these salt merchants couldn't help being silent for a while.

Everyone is a ghost among the rich and powerful, how can they not understand what's going on!

"I have seen the General!"

At this moment, Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde walked in.

All Marquis Wu saluted quickly.

"Can all the salt merchants be arrested?"

Changsun Wuji nodded lightly, glanced at it, and the terrified salt merchants in the prison asked slowly.

"Back to General, in the entire city of Chang'an, there are a total of [-] salt shops, [-] shopkeepers and ten salt merchants, all of them have been captured!"

Marquis Wu on the side hurriedly bowed his hands and replied.

"Very good, Your Majesty asked me, Marquis Wu, to arrest the salt merchant, and you must keep a close watch on him, and make no mistakes!"

"Follow the general's orders!"

A group of Marquis Wu responded again and again.

Immediately, Changsun Wuji and Yuchi Jingde turned around and left again.

As for the group of salt merchants, they didn't even look at them.

Seeing this, all the salt merchants were even more flustered.

After leaving the prison, Changsun Wuji wandered around Chang'an City with Yuchi Jingde and others with a few followers.

All the people, after hearing that the salt merchants had been arrested, were all overjoyed.

However, after seeing all the salt shops closed, his face was full of horror.

Immediately, they went to the elders near their respective homes.

However, before they could discuss anything, they heard a loud and somewhat familiar voice coming from a distance.

"The salt merchants in the city are treacherous and cunning. For their own selfishness, they have raised prices without reason. The crime is heinous. Your Majesty ordered that all salt merchants be arrested."

"However, His Majesty is so benevolent, that in order to fear that the common people would have no salt to eat, he ordered the Snow Grain Salt Shop to sell coarse salt for only three pennies a catty!..."

"What? Three coins per catty?"

"This official, is this true?"

Suddenly, all the people were boiling!
A catty of salt and three liters, God is really eye-opening!

No, His Majesty opened his eyes!

"Hmph, everyone is a neighbor, when did you deceive everyone?"

The Marquis Wu who was shouting with a loudspeaker looked angry, and shouted loudly: "When you go to buy coarse salt, don't worry, I have seen that the coarse salt in the snow grain salt shop is as much as several warehouses." , at least tens of thousands of stones, enough for everyone to buy."

"The words of the boss of the Chen family are still reliable!"

Immediately, there were several common people around, shouting with joy on their faces.

Everyone is familiar with the surrounding Marquis Wu.

Therefore, soon, all the people believed Wuhou's words.

The people who lacked salt at home ran to the nearest snow grain salt shop with joy on their faces.

And some common people whose homes were not short of salt looked at the horn in Wuhou's hand with curiosity on their faces.

"Boss Chen, what is the iron gourd in your hand, how can it make such a loud noise?"

"Yeah, this thing seems to have never been seen before..."

"You guys understand very well, this thing is a horn invented by His Royal Highness King Jin, which can amplify a person's voice by more than ten times!"

That Marquis Wu said proudly.

Hearing this, all the people couldn't help being curious.

As for the arrest of all the salt merchants, it has long been forgotten!

People are like this, when there is no salt, their faces are full of anxiety.However, once he knew that there was a lot of salt, he lost his sense of crisis, and his face was full of leisure.
