Chapter 712 The People Do Not Fight With Officials

Cui Mian didn't just show off on the Qingyun Building, he even bought a dozen carriages without a cover, and carried the beauties from Pingkangfang in a parade of singing and dancing on Zhuque Street.

It attracted countless passers-by to watch.

Cui Mian was holding a half-naked beauty with big breasts in his arms, and beside him was a handsome man who kept feeding grapes into his mouth.

There were also countless servants who scattered copper coins in baskets everywhere as they walked.

As a result, most of the people in Chang'an gathered around Zhuque Street, half to watch the excitement, and half to collect money.

Yun Chu rode on a horse and watched Cui Mian's parade slowly approaching, and asked the anxious Master Liu, "Did he break the law?"

Master Liu licked his dry lips and shook his head, "No."

Yun Chu said: "No, he must break the law today!"

Mr. Liu looked at the handfuls of copper coins thrown on the ground, causing the common people to rob each other, hesitantly said: "Is it unsightly to throw sundries around?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "No matter what the crime is, it is serious to put one first, arrest the person, and then get a shackle weighing one hundred and ten catties, and put it in the sun at the gate of the Wannian County Yamen."

Mr. Liu said shyly, "We can't lock him for long, and we can't kill him either."

Yun Chu said: "Whoever wants to kill him now, I just want him to lose face, and I want all Chang'an people to see that we are the real owners of Chang'an City, a bastard like him, if he wants to be imprisoned Prison, clean up if you want to clean up."

Master Liu hurriedly said, "This is Mr. Cui."

Yun Chu said with a smile: "What rank is Mr. Cui's official?"

Mr. Liu said, "Blank."

Yun Chu said: "In the eyes of the common people, is it reasonable for the government to clean up a white body?"

Mr. Liu thought for a while and said: "No, but Cui Mian is not a normal white body."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "It's not just a white body, it's a white body, go ahead, let Zhang Jia do it, confiscate the rubbish they littered everywhere, and whip each of those indecent women."

Although Mr. Liu thinks that this is not good at all, even if the county lord wants to kill Cui Mian, he can't miss tonight under the blue sky and secretly catch him and put him on death row.

However, the county venerable now intends to be tough, and as a subordinate, he naturally has to obey the county lord's instructions.

Turning around, he whispered a few words to the county lieutenant Zhang Jia who was guarding the side. He didn't say that it was an order from the county lord, but directly ordered Zhang Jia to do things and take people as the head of Wannian County.

While Cui Mian was watching the people crawling all over the ground to fight for the copper coins that fell on the ground, a hundred bad guys dressed in black rushed over fiercely, first dispersed the people, and then locked them with chains. Cui Mian's neck, pulling him off the carriage.

Cui's family servant was about to step forward to protect his son, but he was beaten by bad people with sticks and rolled all over the ground.

"How dare you make trouble in the street, block the traffic, shackle the law for three days, and whip ten lashes as a warning to others."

Zhang Jia was also very brave. He didn't add the words "Master Liu" in front of it. It seemed that he, the county lieutenant, did it himself.

As long as Zhang Jia is not afraid, the servants and bad people under his command will not be afraid. He put the chain around Cui Mian's neck and pulled it hard, and Cui Mian fell off the carriage amidst the exclamation of everyone.

However, Cui Mian still has a bit of a backbone. Although it hurts to fall on the ground and his arms and hands are injured, this guy got up from the ground without even looking at the injured part. Looking at the screaming divas who were being whipped by the bad guys, they showed a look of intolerance.

Seeing that Yunchu was not far away, he pulled the chain and came to Yunchu's horse and said, "Your Majesty has no heart to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Chang'an's legal system is strict and inviolable."

Cui Mian said again: "In this way, the prices of the houses on both sides of Zhuque Street that Jun Hou worked so hard to build may fall again."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "There is no need to lower the price, six sets have already been sold, the highest is 12 guan, and the lowest is [-] guan."

Cui Mian said with a smile: "A certain family thinks that they are one body with the lords and lords, and everyone is a gentry. Why do they invade each other, so that those lowly people can see the joke, and it will lose the face of my gentry."

Yun Chu sneered and said: "Your Cui family steals and plunders. In the fish and meat town, male thieves and female prostitutes give usury and buy and sell people. I heard that even dead bodies can be squeezed out of your Cui's hands. If it is you It doesn't matter if such an official is improper, Yun is afraid that the coffin under the ancestor's underground will not be able to hold him down, so he jumps out to settle accounts with me.

What, you are not convinced, do you want me to tell you the specific things? "

Cui Mian shook his head and said: "Xiejiabao tree, there are occasional yellow leaves; Qingcong Junqi, minor flaws are inevitable, Cui's Ding has a lot of mouths, even if there are mistakes, it's just a small group of people, just lock it up according to the law. Now, there is no need to have such a big prejudice against the aristocratic family, is this a scene that the Lord would like to see?"

Yun Chu smiled slightly and said: "Now, is it you who can retreat or I who can retreat? If I retreat, I die, if you retreat, you die.

Why don't you come up with your own methods and fight to the death in Chang'an City? In fact, I hope you can use the methods you used in Luoyang. In that case, I will have no scruples and can use my usual and best methods up.

After all, it is easier to fight across the battlefield and take the head of the enemy general among thousands of troops than to fight with you. "

Cui Mian said with a smile: "In the end, one side needs to make concessions."

Yun Chu said seriously: "Young Master 15 Guan will take away the rest of the houses, and then release the grain to restore the prices in Chang'an.

Yunmou guarantees that the aristocratic family will receive preferential treatment in Chang'an, not only to settle down, but even the security on weekdays will be top-notch in Chang'an city. Serving wine to apologize, what do young masters think? "

Cui Mian smiled and shook his head, "The family does not accept blackmail."

Yun Chu also laughed and said, "The government never knows what a concession is."

Cui Mian raised his hand to let the yamen guards put the heaviest yoke in the county yamen on his neck. The heavy elm shackle forced his waist to bend down. Cui Zhuan, who had been whipped and wept at him, gave him a smiling face, gritted his teeth, and was led by the yamen servants to the Wannian County Yamen.

Liu Rengui was standing in the crowd, but he was dressed like an old farmer, and no one recognized him as the highest official in Chang'an.

When Yun Chu saw him, it was Liu Rengui who had already come in front of him, and he jumped off the horse, when he heard Liu Rengui whisper: "Is there really no way of the mean?"

Yun Chu frowned and said, "What I hate the most is the doctrine of the mean. There are some things in this world that cannot be harmonized. Anyway, as far as I know, once the government starts to harmonize, the people will definitely be hurt.

Because, to a large extent, the government represents the people, and every time we make muddy mud, it means that we have given up part of our responsibilities.

Just like the Six Kingdoms facing the Qin Kingdom, cut a city today and give in tomorrow. In the end, the Six Kingdoms have no way out.

Nowadays, the aristocratic and wealthy families are like the strong Qin Dynasty, and the government is the six kingdoms. We cannot develop the habit of giving in. Once this habit is formed, once the people have no way out, everyone will die together. "

Liu Rengui nodded and said: "I can hold on to the imperial court for the time being, but it won't last long. I heard that in Luoyang, the impeachment of the old man is gentle, and the memorial to you can fill a warehouse.

I don't know how long His Majesty can resist. Once His Majesty can't bear it anymore, it will be easy for the three of us to go fishing in Lingnan together. "

Yun Chu said in a low voice: "I always feel that no news from His Majesty is the best news. When I left Luoyang, everyone felt that His Majesty was possessed by Emperor Taizong's ghost. He is so wise and wise that people can't understand."

"Hmph..." Liu Rengui suddenly burst into an owl-like laugh.

Before the laughter was over, I listened to Liu Ren's track: "Compared with Emperor Taizong's decisiveness, I prefer Your Majesty's indecision.

Today, His Majesty still regards his courtiers as human beings. The courtiers under Emperor Taizong's command are just tools and chess pieces. When it is time to discard them, Emperor Taizong will not hesitate for a moment.

It's all right if he doesn't make a move, once he makes a move, he won't give anyone a way out, and he won't give up until he kills the grass and roots.

Listen, this time our wealth and life have already been staked, so it’s fine if there is a good result. If the result is not satisfactory, let’s go fishing in Lingnan together. That’s all, it’s only because of your relationship with the prince. Such an end. "

After Liu Rengui finished speaking, he left. After watching the play for so long, the old guy finally expressed his opinion, and he really stood on their side.

Yun Chu shook his head, what Liu Rengui said actually makes sense...

It's just that Cui Mian hasn't spent a lot of copper coins to buy a house until now. As long as the extra money can't be deposited in Chang'an in the form of a house, Chang'an City can't escape the fate of being plundered.

When returning to the county government office, Yunchu saw Cui Mian lying down under the notice wall. This guy put the weight of the shackle on the ground. Although it was very uncomfortable, this guy was singing poems loudly. Make yourself the same as Qu Yuan.

Yunchu leaned over to look at Cui Mian and said, "Don't recite poems in front of me, none of the poems you recited just now can be put on the stage."

Cui Mian laughed loudly and said, "I have heard for a long time that Junhou is very talented in literature, why don't you write a poem based on the current appearance of a certain family?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The last time a certain family was drunk and accidentally kissed a singer, and then wrote a poem, and in the end, this singer actually used my name to become famous in the brothel.

Do you think I'll do this again? "

Cui Mian smiled wryly and shook his head, "Your Majesty, you really want to go all the way, and don't leave yourself a single chance of survival."

Yunchu squatted down, brushed away the messy hair covering Cui Mian's face, and whispered, "Li Yi's mansion has gone to Hebei, and Pei Xingjian is in Anxi to destroy Li Zhepu, but do you know where Xue Rengui went?"

Cui Mian's face gradually turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Where does he go is none of our business?"

Yun Chu tapped Cui Mian's forehead with his finger and said: "Think about it, think about it, I'm afraid for you, in Luoyang, you dare to mix with the Silla people to attack the East Palace.

Don't you really think that your majesty will believe that you are not in the same group if you say you are not in the same group? "

After speaking, Yunchu stood up, took out a handkerchief and wiped Cui Mian's sweat-stained fingers, then threw the handkerchief away, and walked into the gate of the county government office.

"Where did Xue Rengui go?" Cui Mian couldn't help asking loudly.

Yun Chu waved his hands and laughed loudly, "Guess!"

　see you tomorrow
