A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Yes." Li Er nodded, "Of course I can listen to your defense."

"Yes!" Gu Qing said loudly, "Actually, it's all about business. For example, the business of coal stoves cannot take care of the entire Guanzhong because the supply is in short supply. Hasn't the minister already opened a branch factory in Jiannan Road? It's just to deal with it." It is inevitable that there will be a gap in business for a while in terms of supply and demand in the future.”

This reason is barely plausible, but it is still a bit far-fetched. The more I think about it, the more I feel it is an excuse, and I can't find a place to refute it.

"I'll ask Gu Xianhou later." The other party continued: "Why do you sell soap to other places in Guanzhong at a much lower price, and why do you sell it to Guanlong at a higher price?"

"May I ask what your name is?" Gu Qing asked in a low voice.

"The servant of the Ministry of Officials, Xu Liang."

"Oh." Gu Qing took a breath, feeling that something was wrong, "Is your official department so strict? This is a matter that needs to be intervened and the household department should be asked. The household department didn't say anything. What are you interfering with?" Do you mean, or do you think that I am unhappy with someone, and you want to play tricks on me?"

"Your Majesty doesn't mean that." The other party said in a low voice, "As long as there is something wrong, I will naturally inform His Majesty."

"Then please ask the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to come and explain." Gu Qing spoke calmly.

Cui Geng, the servant of the household department, stepped forward and explained, "Your Majesty, the household department has heard about this matter for a long time. It is because of the shortage of supply. In this case, Shang Shuling not only did not increase the price, but lowered the price. As for why it is sold? The high price for Guan Long is due to the free trade in the market, which has nothing to do with Shang Shuling."

Li Er nodded when he heard the explanation.

Gu Qing smiled and didn't have much reaction.

"Your Majesty!" Another courtier stepped forward and said, "Although the Dugu family did something abruptly, it did not constitute a rebellion. It was just for the sake of their own child's impulsiveness. Besides, there were no casualties in Dali Temple."

Hearing this, a look flashed in Gu Qing's eyes, and now he secretly remembered the person who spoke for the Dugu family, and said again, "Your Majesty! I want to ask, did Dali Temple do something wrong?"

"Dali Temple did nothing wrong, it's just..." the other party whispered.

"Then let me ask you, is it reasonable for the Dugu family to do this? If you think it is reasonable for the officials of Dali Temple to be hunted down, will everyone in Dali Temple be bullied by others in the future?!" Gu Qing cut off his words, lowered his tone and stared at Looking at him, "Could it be that Tang Lv is so insignificant in your eyes!"

"Your Majesty! I don't have that intention." He bowed immediately and said, "It's just that I think we should be gentle with Guan Longmen and not be too aggressive! Lest Guan Long do something!"

"I'm afraid they won't succeed!" Chu Suiliang couldn't stand up anymore, stepped forward and waved his sleeves: "You keep your voice soft, and the Dugu family dares to chase and kill Tang officials. Do they still have the king's law in their eyes? You don't distinguish between black and white. People talk, are you a courtier of His Majesty, an official of the Tang Dynasty in the hearts of the people, or are you just a lackey raised by the Dugu family!"

Chu Suiliang spoke loudly, as if roaring.

"Your Majesty! The Dugu family must be dealt with seriously!" Chu Suiliang bowed to Li Er and said.

Gu Qing didn't expect Chu Suiliang to be so excited, and said to Li Er, "Your Majesty, the Dugu family must be dealt with seriously, so that the audition can be done."

"Your Majesty!" Another person said, "The Guanlongmen Clan can't move easily. The Guanlongmen Clan has always been united with each other. If there is a big move, the world may be in chaos again."

"You speak for the rebels, do you also want to rebel?" Gu Qingyou said, "There is no difference between what they do and the rebellion. If you keep defending the Dugu family, don't you think you want to rebel too!"

"Gu Qing, don't talk nonsense! We are thinking about the overall situation."

"It's good to think about the overall situation." Gu Qing sneered, "If someone shoots your daughter-in-law, you will give it to others? You don't think about the overall situation, you are soft and afraid of knocking! I think you are like rats licking the cat's butt , looking for excitement!"

A mouse licks a cat's butt, looking for excitement...

"Cough, cough, cough..." Cheng Yaojin coughed hard, this time the cough was very severe.

"Is Duke Lu unwell?" Li Er looked at Cheng Yaojin.

"I fell down yesterday, and I'm really feeling unwell..." Cheng Yaojin continued to cough.

"Hehehe..." Niu Jinda sneered, "You can cough so badly even if you fall, such a weird thing, only Cheng Yaojin's family."

Cheng Yaojin turned his head and glanced at Niu Jinda as well.

Chapter 461 The Second Young Master's Words

"Report!" A guard came, "Your Majesty, someone from the Zhao family in Guanlong is here, please see Your Majesty!"

"Guanlong Zhao's family is here..." The people in the court immediately exploded. This Guanlong Zhao's family is now one of the top clans in Guanlong, and their weight is much greater than that of the Dugu family.

"What is the Guanlong Zhao family doing here at this time?"

"Could it be that the Zhao family in Guanlong also came to the Dugu family to intercede?"

"Is this for a demonstration?"

……

There were endless discussions in the court.

"Biography." Li Er nodded and spoke.

The court hall became quiet again, Gu Qing looked back, and a figure dressed as a commoner scholar walked towards the Tai Chi Palace, came to the Tai Chi Palace and said loudly, "The Zhao family in Guanlong has a book to play!"

"Quasi-playing." Li Er's articulation was heavy.

The man was still standing in front of the Taiji Palace, took out a playbook and said loudly, "Guanlong Dugu's family collided with Dali Temple, it is really treasonous!"

Hearing these words, the ministers in the hall discussed again, and the first sentence from Guanlong Zhao's family was a bit wrong.

The scholar said again, "The Dugu family dared to chase and kill the officials of Dali Temple. This move is no different from a rebellion. It would be a big mistake. Zhao Rui, the second son of the Zhao family, led three thousand people to stop the Dugu family, but it was too late. Well, it is the Zhao family's fault for not stopping Tongzhi as a powerful family, and I would like to punish myself with grain and grass three thousand stones, and I beg your majesty to give me a punishment!"

Hearing this, Gu Qing also looked at the calm scholar standing in front of the Taiji Palace. The Zhao family in Guanlong had so much confidence and courage that they sold the Dugu family directly. This self-punishment of three thousand shi is not painful. Now that Li Er has a large granary in Nanzhao, three thousand shi of grain is not worth seeing at all.

The words of the Zhao family in Guanlong confirmed that the Dugu family was accused of rebellion. It seemed that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had nothing to say this time, and the Zhao family in Guanlong directly kicked the Dugu family out.

Seeing the situation, Chu Suiliang stepped forward again and said, "Your Majesty, the Dugu family has been fish and meat for a long time. Dugu's eldest son, Duguyu, robbed the women of the people and beat them to death for his own selfish desires. !"

Li Er took a deep breath, and said without much hesitation, "Bring the entire Dugu family into Chang'an! Kneel down on Zhuque Street for the people to see! How lawless this Dugu family is, retreat from the court!"

Li Er withdrew, Gu Qing turned around and was about to leave, the scholar from the Zhao family in Guanlong was still standing outside the Taiji Palace and looked at Gu Qing with a smile, "Mayor Gu, can you take a step to speak?"

"No time!" Gu Qing rejected him directly.

The other party also followed Gu Qing's footsteps with a smile, "It's the little Meng Lang. I have also heard about this matter. The County Marquis Gu did the right thing. It's just the business of the County Marquis Gu. Can you be more lenient to the Zhao family? The Zhao family is already miserable because of business matters."

"I'm very busy now."

After Gu Qing finished speaking, he quickened his pace and left, and walked into an alley in Chang'an Neighborhood. After a few turns, he came to the back door of the pen studio.

A ranger seemed to pass by Gu Qing, and whispered, "Boss Gu, there is a tail behind him."

Gu Qing didn't stop, but took a turn and walked out of the alley to a tavern. He looked at who was following him, stared at the alley he just walked out of, and it was Guan Long who came out from there. A scholar of the Zhao family.

Seeing him walking step by step, sitting in front of her all the way, "Master Hou, don't throw me away like this."

"I'm quite defensive." Gu Qing said, "Are you here for business?"

"Business matters are indeed very important, but I still want to talk to Gu Xianhou about the meaning of the Zhao family in Guanlong." The scholar said politely.

"Dude, serve the wine and then two dishes of appetizers." Gu Qing shouted to the staff in the tavern.
