Pampered and fierce wife: Reborn daughter-in-law has a strategy

"Second brother," Liming Chao called Liming Yuan to the study alone, "What do you think about the details?"

Liming Yuan touched his beard and frowned slightly: "Brother, what I said below may be a bit disrespectful."

Liming waved his hand: "We are brothers, but it doesn't matter."

"Yes," Liming Yuan cupped his hands, "Then let me tell you straight. Big brother, I always feel that General Li is trying to intimidate us."

"Oh?" Liming Chao frowned, "Why do you see that?"

Liming Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother, think about it, who will be harmed the most if the city gate is not opened? Our Li family and all the merchants! Brother is now making guarantees in the name of himself and the Li family, but if this is a target What about the merchant’s conspiracy?”

Liming Chao's face gradually became solemn. He didn't speak, just thinking quietly.

After Liming Yuan finished speaking, he stopped continuing. He sat aside and drank tea slowly, waiting for Liming Chao to finish his thinking.

When Liming Yuan was drinking her third cup of tea, Liming Chao finally pulled away from her thoughts: "Ming Yuan, what are your ideas?"

The tea cup in Liming Yuan's hand blocked the smile at the corner of his mouth: "Brother, my brother doesn't have any ideas at the moment. It's just that our family cannot bear this danger. General Li refuses to open the city gate, so why should we bear it for her. You say so, brother."

Li Mingchao nodded slowly: "Go and send a message to those merchants. Just tell them, General Li said that as long as you are looking for a good job, the city gate will be opened."

In the last two sentences, Liming Chao used a little emphasis. Liming looked at Liming Chao's eyes from a distance and laughed knowingly.

……

Two days later, a group of merchants tied up two middle-aged men with shabby faces and brought them to the inn: "Sir! We want to see you, sir!" they shouted, "We have helped you catch Xizuo, you can let us out of the city." Come on!"

After shouting twice, Li Xinran slowly came down from the stairs. She lowered her eyes and looked at the two people tied up in front of her. There was neither sadness nor joy in her eyes. She raised her eyes and looked at the merchants in front of her. Those merchants had guilty consciences and just lowered their heads silently. He tilted his head, as if looking at these two middle-aged people.

Li Xinran glanced at them, smiled and said: "I said I would open the city gate after catching Xizuo. Is this Xizuo?"

"Sir, what do you mean by this!" The leader of the merchants changed his face and even became a little aggressive. "Sir, do you think we are deceiving you?"

Li Xinran chuckled: "My subordinates gave me the investigation results of more than two people. Do you mean that my subordinates are lying to me?"

The leader's eyes changed, and he said confidently: "Sir, it is not impossible for a little girl to be deceived. After all," there was an unignorable contempt in his tone, "women are still not as knowledgeable as men. .”

Li Xinran looked up and down at the people in front of him, and then asked around the people in front of him: "You think so too?" Seeing that none of them spoke, Li Xinran smiled and said, "He is indeed a businessman, and his vision is not bad at 01:30." Li Xinran had obvious contempt on his face.

She stopped talking, turned around and left, and simply waved her hand: "Blow them out, a bunch of ignorant people."

"Sir!" Seeing that Li Xinran was really about to leave, other businessmen began to panic, "Sir! It's my fault for waiting! Please stay! Stay!"

Amidst the wailing of a group of people, the surrounding soldiers gathered around. Li San took out his long sword and sneered: "I haven't seen a fool who mocked the general for his gender in a long time. I also want to use two fakes to deceive the Lord." Open the city gate, do you really think that Emperor Min's court doesn't care about you, so we won't care about you?" He began to coax people mercilessly, "Get out of here, the general is willing to let you take action to give you face, don't be shameless, what are you doing? Don’t you know your status?”

A group of masters who showed off their power in front of others were thrown out mercilessly by Li San and the others. They were all disgraced and humiliated.

Looking at the soldiers standing in front of the inn, each with a thick waist and a round waist, wearing heavy armor and holding a long sword, a group of businessmen who were originally resentful realized for the first time what their fathers had said: "Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, The status of businessmen is low." What does it mean?

If she was willing, even if Li Xinran was a woman, she could make these pretentious men disgraced and disgraced.

This is, power.

Looking at the long swords that shone with cold light, they did not dare to focus their resentment on Li Xinran. They could only turn their heads and direct their resentment at the leader.

"Old Zhao, why did you offend her?" A businessman who was familiar with Lao Zhao shook his head, sighed, and turned to leave.

Lao Zhao stood up but did not apologize.

His family was in the grain business, and they were once supported by the British father. Later, the British father fell, and his family gradually fell into decline.It can be said that the treatment of the old Zhao family back then was comparable to that of imperial merchants. Although Emperor Chu Min sent the British Duke to the battlefield, Lao Zhao knew in his heart that if Xiang Jingkun had not rebelled, the British Duke would still be the one waiting to die. The idle prince, their family will not be in such a state of poverty.

Therefore, for one of the accomplices who overthrew Emperor Min's rule and plunged his family into poverty, Lao Zhao felt not only resentful, but also a little contemptuous. After all, in his eyes, the so-called Xiang Jingkun in the name of the former prince, They are rebellious officials and traitors.

Standing outside the inn, Lao Zhao said with the arrogance of his own royal businessman: "Did I say something wrong! These two people are the ones we found out. If General Li said it was not the case, it would not be the case. Then this Yang Luocheng, wouldn't she be able to cover the sky with one hand? ! Do we still want to leave the city? Can we still do this business? "

After he said this, some of the merchants present had a flash of struggle in their eyes. After all, they were worried that the city gate would be closed for too long and their business would be damaged. Big merchants like Lao Zhao could still hold on. Small merchants like them, let alone half a year, Even a month's delay is a serious matter that could kill a whole family.

Some of them looked around and still wanted to leave. They all knew what was going on with these two middle-aged men.

But no matter whether they wanted to leave, wanted to stay, or were undecided, they didn't say much. They just acquiesced in front of the inn that these two people were the ones they found out.

Seeing that he did not receive support among his colleagues, Lao Zhao turned to seek support from the people who gathered around to watch the excitement:

"Fellow folks, let's comment. General Li has clearly said that as long as he finds Xizuo, he will open the city gate. But now, the old man and others have used their contacts to capture these two Xizuo, but General Li refuses to recognize them. Not only does he not Admit it, and throw out the old man and others! There is nothing wrong with the old man and the others being businessmen, and there is nothing wrong with opening the city gate to benefit us merchants, but think about it, does opening the city gate only benefit us merchants? "

"What this old man said makes sense. Recently, the farmers in the village have stopped coming to the city to sell vegetables. My family has been eating dry food for three days."

"No, we still have some food in store, but those who deliver vegetables and meat can't come in."

Seeing that the people around him had been convinced, Lao Zhao raised a smile and said, "Everyone, I am not doing it for myself. Everyone knows the disadvantages of keeping the city gate closed for too long. Lao Zhao thinks that we should let General Li come out and give everyone a Exact words!"

"Yes! What this old man said makes sense!"

"That's right! The city gate is closed every day, and I don't know when it will be released!"

With a few words, Lao Zhao stirred up the emotions of the people around him. The people watching were all shouting, asking Li Xinran to come out and give them an explanation.
