Chapter 773 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

"Where are the other three?"

After getting into the carriage, Li Xuan continued to ask.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the other three people, one is in Lantian County, one is in Hu County, and the other is in Xianyang!"

Li Chang quickly responded.

"So far?"

Li Xuan was startled.

"My lord, do I still have to go?"

Li Chang asked.

"It's already early in the morning, and by the time I wait there, their vegetables have already been sold out!"

Li Xuan shook his head.

"Send someone to confiscate all the money they earned. In addition, if someone is as arrogant and domineering as Shi Yong, then spread the news that they pretend to be people from my Li Family Village!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Li Chang reported it, he quickly responded.

"Go back to the village!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Li Yu, Wang Sui, Ning Laibao, Lu Wu, Li Daxing and other five people, as members of my Li family village, dare to join with outsiders, eat inside and outside, confiscate the money they earn, and drive them out of Li family village!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"In addition, Shi Yong is arrogant and domineering, and ruined the reputation of my Li family village outside, Li Yuzhan ten!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

After returning to Lijiazhuang, things about Li Yu, Wang Sui, Ning Laibao, Lu Wu, Li Daxing and others were also spread in Lijiazhuang.

Before the householders and other hospital stewards reprimanded Li Yu, Wang Sui, Ning Laibao, Lu Wu, Li Daxing and others, they heard Li Xuan's punishment of these five people.

Suddenly, everyone was shocked.

But Li Yu, Wang Sui, Ning Laibao, Lu Wu, Li Daxing and others, together with their family members, were full of remorse and wanted to kneel outside the courtyard and beg.

However, Li Chang arranged a group of personal guards to drive them out of Lijiazhuang.

"Aye, are you really going to drive Li Yu, Wang Sui, Ning Laibao, Lu Wu, and Li Daxing out of Lijiazhuang? Will they freeze to death outside in this cold weather?"

With a group of friends, Li Chenglu saw with his own eyes the appearance of the five families kneeling outside the gate with several large packages, begging. Li Chenglu couldn't bear it, subconsciously came to Li Xuan, and asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, boy, these people have made a lot of money in the village in the past few years, and they will never starve to death outside. Moreover, they can also read, write, and do arithmetic, and they can survive completely when they go out to find a job at will!"

Li Xuan explained.

Li Chenglu nodded slightly, and then became curious: "Aye, why are they so reluctant to leave?"

"Hmph, in Lijiazhuang, there are cheap meat to eat every day, vegetables to eat, cement houses to live in, and the children in the family have a free teacher to teach them. No one dares to bully them, but when they go outside, they don't have any of these. They Of course I can't bear it!"

Li Xuan snorted coldly.

Li Chenglu nodded half-understood, but did not continue to pester.

Anyway, although I felt sorry for the five families, they made mistakes, and it was right for Aye to punish them!
Outside the village gate.

Hearing that the five families were still kneeling outside the door, Li Chang couldn't bear it any longer, and walked out directly, his face full of anger.

"You made such a big mistake, the king is kind, he didn't cut off your head, but just drove you out, are you still not satisfied?"

"The chief executive took pity on me, I was just..."

"Don't talk too much, have you stayed in Lijiazhuang for a long time, and you have forgotten your lowly status? If you continue to make such noise, the old man will directly take back all the finances and irons that you are carrying, and let you wait outside. Life is hard!..."

"..."

All the people trembled, and quickly stopped begging. The big and small bags picked up the packages and hurried to the distance.

"Hmph, a group of bastards, who committed such a wrong thing, still want to beg the king to stay in the village? Do you really think the king is a fool?"

At the door, the two guards looked at the five families who had gone away, with disdain on their faces.

However, all the tenants, guards, stewards, and servants in the village trembled in their hearts. This was the first time they saw that the king punished the householders and stewards!

Since then, I have put a lot of effort into doing things.

Soon, the matter spread in Chang'an City.

"I didn't expect it to be a fake?"

In Liangyi Hall, after hearing Li Wei's report, Li Shimin was stunned.

Afterwards, he hurriedly said, "Quickly check to see if there are any vegetable sellers like this in Chang'an City, and is there such a person in Gao Ming's village?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Wei responded and hurried out.

at the same time.

The housekeepers of Su Guogong, Wei Guogong, and Qi Guogong also quickly sent people to investigate in Chang'an City and surrounding counties.

As for the rest of the stewards of the rich and powerful families, they directly led a group of people to the outside of the village, broke all the legs of Shi Yong's group of vegetable vendors, pulled out their tongues, and locked them in a house outside the city.

Every day, when I am free, I will go to humiliate him.

Li Xuan also faintly heard some news about this, but he didn't pay attention to it.

The next day, early in the morning, Li Chang walked in with a strange expression.

"I have seen the king!"

"What's the matter?"

Li Xuan, who was eating breakfast, asked a little strangely.

"Report to Your Majesty, the head of Dahe Village wants to apologize to you outside the village with two oxen and a land deed of [-] acres!"

Li Chang reported.

"The head of Dahe Village?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan was taken aback again.

"My lord, Dahe Village is the village where Wang Su and Wang Daqi are located!" Li Chang quickly explained.

"Tell them that the king is not free, and the matter has been settled!"

Li Xuan waved his hand casually and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang responded and walked out quickly.

Lijiazhuang, outside the gate of the village.

An old man over fifty, holding a wooden box in his hand, looked anxiously at Shonai.There are more than a dozen farmers following behind, leading two big yellow cattle, including Wang Shu and Wang Daqi.

Seeing Li Chang coming out, the old man was overjoyed and rushed to meet him.

"The old man has seen the Chief Manager!"

Behind him, Wang Li and the others hurriedly saluted.

"Patriarch Wang, Your Majesty has said that this matter has been cleared up, so please go back!" Li Chang said.

Hearing this, the old man's face turned bitter, and he knelt on the ground directly.

"I would like to ask the chief manager to report to the King of Jin again. I was the one who was confused, and I got involved with this child Wang led. If the King of Jin has any dissatisfaction, just say it. Even if I work hard, I will teach the whole family. King Jin is satisfied!"

"Humph!"

Li Chang directly lowered his face and looked at the old man.

"Your Majesty's words have already been made very clear, what else do you want to do? If this matter were placed in other dignitaries' mansions, the king rate would have already been killed, and your entire Dahe Village would also be implicated.

Now, the king is kind-hearted, let me off, don't push me too far! "

Hearing this, the light in the eyes of the old man, Wang Shu and the others couldn't help but dim.

"Humph!"

Li Chang snorted again, ignored the crowd of Dahe Villagers behind him, and walked straight back.

The thoughts in their hearts were shattered, and everyone in Dahe Village did not dare to continue to stay in Lijiazhuang. They took their things and walked back in desolation.
