Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 488 The Blood Book
When Liu Bing heard the twelve words read out by Gao Ming, his first thought was—who is His Royal Highness planning to threaten?
But soon, he realized that Gao Ming asked him to write this note not to threaten others, but to frame others!

You must know that although there are several aristocratic families in Datang that own saltworks, the biggest one is the Fanyang Saltworks that Gao Ming cooperated with Fan Yang and Lu's family!

It has only been about a year since the Fanyang Salt Field was established, but the sea salt it produces far exceeds the total value of all other salt fields.

Even Jinzhou City is called "Salt City" by the people because of the Fanyang Salt Field, which shows the great influence of the Fanyang Salt Field!

However, with the birth of Fanyang Salt Farm, a "big salt producer", it inevitably touched the interests of many people.

Especially for several large families who relied on salt as their support, after the emergence of Gao Ming's low-priced salt, their salt industry can be said to have suffered a devastating blow.

Their salt costs tens or hundreds of Wen, but Gaoming's salt only costs ten Wen, and the quality of the salt is even better. In this way, the common people will naturally no longer choose their salt.

In this case, they only have two choices.

First, reduce the price of salt, give up the high profit of salt, adopt the method of small profits but quick turnover, and fight a price war with Gao Ming's low-priced salt.

Second, suppress Gaoming's low-priced salt, so that local people can only choose their high-priced salt.

Obviously, the first one is definitely not acceptable, because they all know that their salt is not as good as that of Fanyang Salt Field in terms of output or quality.

Therefore, they chose the second way - to suppress Gao Ming's low-priced salt.

Of course, they dare not do this kind of thing blatantly, because if they do that, they will offend Gao Ming to death.

And Gao Ming's Ya Zi must repay these aristocratic families who have seen it before. The Zheng family in Xingyang, which has entered a semi-dormant state, is a role model, so they will not directly attack the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

They're dealing with merchants who bring salt to their lands!
Whenever a salt merchant enters their territory, there will always be some ruffians or gangsters who will find fault.

These little hooligans usually extort huge sums of money from salt merchants in other places. Naturally, it is impossible for the salt merchants to give them to them, so they will pour boiling water on the salt brought by the salt merchants, thus destroying the salt. When they arrived, they had already dispersed.

The salt merchants also tried to report to the officials, but after reporting to the officials, the local government put out a "dragging formula", asking for a confession, drawing a charge, and just not arresting people.

After all this, the salt merchants have recollected it—they don’t want us to sell salt on their territory!

If it was in the past, these salt merchants might have swallowed their anger based on the principle of "names do not compete with officials", but now it is different, because they are merchants from Jinzhou!
As businessmen in Jinzhou, they have always been full of pride. They sell salt not to make a lot of money, but to respond to Gao Ming's call, so that everyone in Datang can eat low-priced salt.

In their view, although Jin merchants are written as "Shan merchants", they are read as "righteous merchants"!
Therefore, facing the suppression from the local government, they did not swallow their anger, but directly reported to Tian Yi of Jinzhou Datang Royal Chamber of Commerce, and Tian Yi told Gao Ming about it.

When Gao Ming heard the news, he was also very angry, but because the opponent's methods were too subtle, even if he caught all the local gangsters, he still couldn't catch the opponent.

Therefore, Gao Ming could only write down the names of these companies, and planned to deal with them again when he had the opportunity.

And now, this opportunity has come!

The note that Gao Ming asked Liu Bing to write is a weapon against them!
"Within half a year, close the saltworks, if you don't, take your dog's eggs!"

Gao Ming didn't intend to use this sentence on others, but he planned to use it on himself, because he knew that only by using it on himself can it exert the greatest effect!

Although there are only twelve words in this sentence, there are definitely more than 12 people who died because of these twelve words!

Liu Bing also knew this, so he immediately bowed to Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, according to this old slave, instead of writing a note, it is better to simply write it in blood. What do you think?"

"Blood book?"

Hearing Liu Bing's words, Gao Ming's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately.

"This is a good way, just do as you say!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Gao Ming agreed, Liu Bing quickly agreed, then found a piece of white cloth, bit his own finger and began to write on it.

After writing the blood, he picked it up with both hands, and handed it to Gao Ming respectfully.

"His Royal Highness, it has been written!"

Seeing that the twelve characters on the blood book were the same as what he asked for, Gao Ming put it into his arms, and then nodded towards Liu Bing.

"Well, the first thing is good, so before I talk about the second thing, let me ask you one thing, you have to tell me honestly, did you feel any pain after drinking the anesthetic you gave Changsun Chong? What side effects?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Liu Bing shook his head immediately.

"No! This old slave can assure you that apart from being unconscious during this period of time, after waking up, it will be like falling asleep. There will be absolutely no side effects at all!"

Hearing Liu Bing's affirmative expression, Gao Ming smiled and nodded.

"Well, that's good, then you can give me another bottle of anesthetic. In order not to attract suspicion, I will drink a bottle later!"

"Yes, the old slave understands!"

When Liu Bing heard Gao Ming's words, he immediately felt that it made sense, so while nodding, he took a bottle of anesthetic from his arms and handed it to Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, this is the anesthetic you asked for, and this is the only bottle left for this old servant."

"Well, I see, I will keep it carefully!"

After speaking, Gao Ming put the bottle of anesthetic in his arms, and then patted Liu Bing's shoulder with a smile.

"Okay, go back and rest, you have nothing to do here, no matter what you hear tomorrow, don't panic, everything is up to me!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming patted Liu Bing on the shoulder twice again, then turned around and left the yard, and boarded the carriage directly.

After Gao Ming got into the carriage, a man in a cloak covering his whole body also came out from the shadow of the corner, and then reached the front of the carriage and grabbed the horse's reins.

"drive!"

As he flicked the reins, the carriage immediately headed towards the city gate.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bing's eyes widened again, and he began to mutter to himself.

"It seems that His Highness has made more preparations than I thought!"

As soon as Liu Bing finished speaking, a voice came from behind him.

"Of course it is!"

"Who?"

Hearing this voice, Liu Bing turned his head instinctively, and immediately saw a man wearing the armor of a city gate guard coming out from behind the wall.

After he came out, he cupped his hands towards Liu Bing.

"Eunuch Liu, I am Qianqi Zhao Song, the right cavalry guard. I am ordered by His Royal Highness to clean up the yard. Please Eunuch Liu, please take people away as soon as possible!"

"Uh... well, let's go now!"

After speaking, Liu Bing left quickly with the two dumb eunuchs. After he left, several guards went directly into the yard and began to clean up all the traces in the yard.

At this time, Gao Ming's carriage also left the city gate and arrived at Xuanwu Gate.

After getting off the carriage, Gao Ming looked up at the tall Xuanwu Gate archway above his head, and a smile flashed across his face.

"After 17 years, Xuanwumen is about to have a major event. This time, I will make history again!"

Having said that, he immediately took off his pants, revealing two hairy thighs.
