Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

The jailer's expression changed slightly and he glanced at Shangguan Wan'er. He was about to take off her prison uniform when the latter sneered.

"Have you forgotten whose woman I am? Aren't you afraid that Fan Xin will come back and confiscate your home and exterminate your clan?"

As soon as these words came out, several jailers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and trembled all over.

They knew very well that Fan Xin chopped off thousands of heads at once.

Seeing how useless the Dali Temple jailer was, Li Longji snorted with a livid face.

"Someone, take these losers out and chop them down!"

After the jailer was dragged away, Li Longji raised his head and said coldly to Shangguan Wan'er.

"Don't be so proud, this is my world, so what if Fan Xin comes back?"

"I don't believe he dares to rescue you openly!"

"I'm here to send you an order. Shangguan Wan'er is suspected of treason and will be executed in front of Yingtian Gate in ten days!"

After glancing at Shangguan Wan'er, Li Longji shook his sleeves and strode away.

Looking at his back, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly burst into laughter, with contempt in her laughter.

……

Prince Yan's Mansion, Fanjiazhuang.

"Quick, surround me all, and don't let anyone out!" Guo Yuanzhen was riding on his horse, commanding his men with high spirits.

This scene quickly attracted the attention of the villagers, who all picked up hoes and blocked the intersection, staring at the officers and soldiers with vigilant eyes.

"What should we do, General Guo? These mud-legged people are blocking our way." General Yulin looked confused.

"Hmph! You don't know how to live or die. Anyone who dares to stop us will be punished as treason!"

At this time, Guo Yuanzhen wanted to rush into Prince Yan's Mansion immediately, not caring about a few bankers.

After receiving the instruction, Habayashi Wei immediately pointed his weapon at the banker.

"The general has an order! Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed! Get out of my way!"

"In your dreams, don't even think about stepping into Prince Yan's palace!"

The old man paused on the ground with a cane, turned back and looked at the farmers and said.

"Guys, we can live a good life only because of Fan Qingtian's help. Now the court is so stupid that it actually sends officers and soldiers to arrest people. Can we let them in?"

"No! No!" the farmers shouted loudly, holding their farm tools high.

"Okay, okay! Everyone is going to rebel!" Guo Yuanzhen's eyes flashed fiercely, and he suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted.

"Kill these daring gangsters for me!"

"Yes!"

The Yulin guards shouted, rolled up their sleeves and rushed towards the bankers.

Just when the spear was about to pierce the dealers' bodies, a scream sounded.

"Stop! If you dare to take another step forward, you will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of guards in heavy armor poured out from both sides, surrounding Guo Yuanzhen and others.

The crowd parted. Princess Yinzhu led a group of generals to the steps.

"Mrs. Yan Guo, I am acting according to orders. What do you mean?"

Glancing at the murderous heavily armored guards around him, Guo Yuanzhen's eyelids twitched and he pretended to be calm.

"What do you mean?" Princess Yinzhu sneered: "I would like to ask General Guo what he means."

"When the Supreme Emperor gave the house number, he said that when passing by the Zhonglie Mansion, the civil servants should get off their sedan chairs and the military attachés should get off their horses."

"Not only did you, General Guo, not dismount, but you led your guards to massacre the members of my Fan family."

"Dare to ask General Guo, what crime have you committed?"

"this………"

Guo Yuanzhen hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question.

Although the Emperor's will was useless, it was somewhat unjustifiable to openly violate it in public, so he decided to take a step back.

"Haha, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I was so anxious that I forgot this rule."

Guo Yuanzhen smiled bitterly and motioned to his subordinates to jump off the horse like him.

However, Princess Yinzhu had no intention of letting him go and said coldly.

"The law of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulates that those who disobey the will will be dismissed from office and seize the title. The staff will be ninety and the punishment will be three thousand miles."

"Come here, execute me!"

After giving the order, two burly men walked up to Guo Yuanzhen, put one foot on his leg, picked up the water and fire stick, and swung it on their backs.

"Ouch! Someone come and help me!" Guo Yuanzhen screamed after a few blows with the stick.

Just as several of the confidant generals were about to pull out their swords and step forward to rescue him, the heavily armored guards around him snorted, frightening them to stop quickly and look at Guo Yuanzhen anxiously.

Fortunately, Princess Yinzhu had some scruples and did not let anyone beat Guo Yuanzhen to death. She only gave him thirty blows.

"Guo Yuanzhen, this is the last warning from the Zhonglie Mansion. If you dare to bring people in again, be careful about your life, get out!"

"Hey, sir, get out of here!" Guo Yuanzhen endured the pain and winked at his subordinates, who helped him up and left the Zhonglie Mansion in a hurry.

When the group of people arrived at the outskirts of Fanjiazhuang, they were completely relieved.

"Huh, I was scared to death. I thought we couldn't get out," a Yulin general said with lingering fear.

Guo Yuanzhen snorted openly.

"Look at how useless you are. You are also a guard. What are you, the Yulin Guards, so scary about?"

Hearing this, several Yulin Guard generals shook their heads and said solemnly.

"General, you have underestimated those heavily armored guards. These men have a murderous look on their bodies and have calluses on their hands. At first glance, they look like battle-hardened elites."

"How can we, noble children who have never fought in a war, be their opponents?"

"Let's just stay guarded outside the village and don't make ourselves miserable."

Seeing that several generals said this, although Guo Yuanzhen was unwilling to give in, he could only stay outside Zhuangzi to execute the blockade order.

At the same time, I secretly prayed that the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce would gain something.

"Ying Niang, the seizure of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce is an order from the imperial court. Do you dare to stop it?"

In front of the Chamber of Commerce, Duan Yi, wearing armor, stared closely at Yingniang.

Behind him stood a group of Habayashi guards armed with weapons.

After hearing this, Yingniang calmly picked up the tea cup and blew on it.

"What did General Duan say? Yingniang is just a businessman, how dare she stop the imperial court from doing its business."

"Then why don't you get out of the way quickly and let us in!"

"It's easy to enter the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce. Just take out His Majesty's decree or the edict from the province. I will invite you in immediately!" Ying Niang put down her tea bowl, stretched out her hand and said with a smile.

"You!" Duan Yi hesitated.

Surrounding the Fan family and sealing up the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce was an oral order issued by His Majesty himself, telling him where to go to find documents.

After a long time, Duan Yi suppressed the anger in his heart and narrowed his eyes.

"Big shopkeeper, what if I, the general, force my way in?"

"It seems that General Duan is planning to use force against this shopkeeper."

Yingniang chuckled and said calmly to the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce.

"Brothers, the army wants to destroy our stall. Come out and show your face."

As soon as he finished speaking, the window opened wide, and hundreds of black shadows jumped out from inside.

Judging by his attire, he is clearly the famous Zhenwei Escort Master, a top master selected from the army! As soon as these masters came out, Duan Yi's face suddenly became embarrassed.

"Big shopkeeper, what do you mean? I am only acting according to orders. When did I say that I would use force?"

Duan Yi has lived in Luoyang for a long time, so he naturally knows the origins of these escorts. They are all top masters on weekdays.

Just because these Yulin guards behind him had never killed anyone, they were no match for him.

Ying Niang smiled and waved her hand.

"General Duan has misunderstood. I have no other intentions. These people are the bodyguards hired by our shop at a huge expense."

"According to the contract, no one except me can enter before the contract time is up."

"I think you should go back and ask for permission, so that you can go in and close the store."

Hearing this, Duan Yi glanced at the murderous Zhenwei escort, his eyes flashing.

It has to be said that it is a shame that the imperial officers and soldiers were blocked at the door by a few Jianghu swordsmen and could not even enter the store.

But what if he can force his way in and rely on the troops behind him, but they are no match for him?

Just when Duan Yi was in a dilemma, the deputy general on the side whispered.

"General Duan, your face is small, but sealing up the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce is big. Let's go back and ask for an imperial edict to see if they dare to resist!"

Duan Yi thought about it, it was like this. If you lose face, you will lose face. It's a big deal. Bring more troops when you come later.

After making a decision in his heart, Duan Yi glanced at Yingniang and said with a straight face.

"Okay, I will go back and ask for a decree now. If the shopkeeper dares to stop me again, don't blame Duan for being rude!"

Duan Yi snorted heavily, climbed on his horse and headed towards Menxia Province. It was just a matter of sealing down a chamber of commerce, and there was no need for the emperor to personally issue an order.

Looking at the eagerly looking Yulin Guards, Li Cunxiao, the commander of the escort agency, had a flash of worry in his eyes.

"Big shopkeeper, this time we were able to stop the officers and soldiers on the grounds that there was no will. What should we do next time?"

Yingniang chuckled lightly and said indifferently.

"There will be no next time. Almost all the money and goods in the storehouse have been transferred. What Duan Yi will get when he comes to order is just an empty house."

Li Cunxiao breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"The big shopkeeper was thoughtful and transported the money and goods in advance. In this case, let's leave Luoyang and return to Youzhou."

"When we arrive at the prince's territory, let's see what the court dares to do to us."

"Yes, Mr. Boss, it may be difficult for us to stay, but if we want to leave, these Yulin Guards can't stop us." Someone echoed.

However, to everyone's surprise, Yingniang shook her head and sighed.

"The Luoyang Chamber of Commerce is a small matter, and the prince's true foundation is in Prince Yan's Mansion."

"As soon as things here are over, you immediately secretly escort the ladies and the little princess away, and I will stay to paralyze them!"

"What, you want to stay?" Li Cunxiao was surprised and asked in disbelief.

"That's right. Only if I stay here and attract the court's attention can Prince Yan's Mansion have a chance to evacuate quietly."

"If we all leave, the imperial court will soon be able to detect something wrong with it."

After hearing these words, Zhenwei Escort and others fell silent.

After a long time, Li Cunzhao patted Yingniang on the shoulder.

"Big shopkeeper, you are a great person, and I deserve the prince's trust in you."

"Don't worry, your family will be taken care of by us in the future!"

"Thank you!"

"Farewell!"

"Take care of yourself!"

After watching the masters leave, Yingniang lay on the Taishi chair in front of the door, staring blankly at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and murmured.

"Your Majesty, your kindness to Yingniang can only be repaid in the next life..."

drive!
"Yes, this is it! Surround me, everyone!"

After reining in his horse, Duan Yi jumped directly to the ground, took three steps at a time and came to Yingniang, shook the document in his hand, and said proudly.

"The imperial edict from the provincial government has arrived, what else do you have to say this time?"

After withdrawing her thoughts, Yingniang focused her eyes on the document. After discovering that it was indeed an official letter from the province, she nodded and took the initiative to give up her seat.

"Since General Duan has brought the imperial edict, Yingniang naturally does not dare to stop him, please!" She said with a gesture of invitation.

"Hmph, it's great from time to time!" Duan Yi straightened his collar and strode into the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce.

"Brothers, listen to me. Everything in the store must be packed and sealed. Don't miss anything. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, General Duan!"

The Yulin guards had long been holding back their anger. After hearing the order, they rolled up their sleeves and rushed into each room, preparing to plunder.

Taking advantage of his spare time, Duan Yi came to the Grand Master's chair and sat down on it, joking.

"Big shopkeeper, I heard that your Luoyang Chamber of Commerce has more than 20,000 employees alone. Why are you the only one left in the store?"

"Did I hear that the imperial court was going to shut down the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce and all of them ran away? Hahaha..."

Seeing Duan Yi succeeding as a villain, Yingniang smiled lightly.

"What General Duan said is wrong. Those who can enter the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce are heroes who value love and righteousness. They are just out of town for business."

"Ok?"

Duan Yi's smile faded and he stared at Yingniang with his eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" For some reason he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Soon he knew where this bad feeling came from.

"General Duan is in trouble! The warehouse is empty, there is not a single piece of goods!"

"The same goes for the money bank, where you can't even see a single penny!

Faced with the bad news one after another, Duan Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he slumped down on his chair with a pale face, saying it to himself.

His Majesty and the court are waiting for him to inspect the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce and bring back the money and goods.

How can I explain to the superiors when I have nothing left?
Duan Yi's mind went blank when he thought of the consequences of being dismissed from office and imprisoned.

Several lieutenants looked at him and gave him a small push.

"General Duan, although the money and goods are gone, Ying Niang is still there. How about we take her to the court and make amends?"

"Yes, arrest Ying Niang!" Like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, Duan Yi stood up with a cry and stared at Ying Niang fiercely.

"Ying Niang, don't think that the court can't do anything to you once you transfer the money. Just wait until you go to jail to see how this general tortures you!"

"take away!"

Yingniang smiled and shook her head, letting Yu Linwei put the shackles on her.

Before entering the prison car, she suddenly broke away from the suppression of the Yulin Guards, knelt on the ground facing northwest and shouted.

"Your Majesty, will this little woman work as a cow or a horse for you in the next life?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped up and slammed into the stone monument by the roadside...

"General Duan, this woman died after hitting a rock. Do you want to bury her?" the deputy general said with emotion.

Duan Yi rubbed his temples and glared at several subordinates in annoyance.

"Trash, you can't even look down on a prisoner, so you put her on a carriage and take her to prison. Even if she turns into a corpse, she will still have to go to prison to serve her sentence!"
