Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Page 65



At this time, a middle-aged couple hurried over.

"Officer, spare your life! Official, spare your life!"

As soon as they came over, they knelt in front of Li Zhu.

"The dog is ignorant and offended the officials. The officials should spare him. He is the only child of my family."

Li Zhu kicked the middle-aged man on the head: "Hand over all your family's food, and if you hand over my son, I will spare him!"

"Young master, our family really has no food, and we will all starve to death!"

"If you don't pay, I'll break his leg in front of you!"

The young man lay on the ground and shouted with difficulty: "Father, don't hand it over, even if you are beaten to death, don't hand it over!"

"The boy is so stubborn! Kill him! Let's see if it's these thugs who are so stubborn, or my son's iron stick!"

Li Zhu's lackeys were about to make a move when a voice suddenly came: "Stop!"

Li Zhu and others searched for their reputation, but saw Zhao Ning galloping towards them on horseback in the distance.

When Li Zhu saw that the group of people were riding horses, he immediately moved his feet away.

He knew that this group of people had a background.

In the Song Dynasty, ordinary people could not ride horses.

Horses are a strategic material. The Song Dynasty was notorious for its lack of horses, and many officials did not have horses.

Zhao Ning rushed over with someone.

He glanced at the scene in front of him, and then looked around, seeing Wang Baozheng and his dog legs knocking on doors from house to house, and some people even kicked the door with their feet.

Zhao Ning was furious immediately.

His eyes fell on Li Zhu, and he said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"

Li Zhu was not afraid either, he said, "This official, I'm Li Zhu, Li Huan is my father."

Gao Qiu quickly explained on the sidelines: "Young master, Li Huan is a well-known wealthy businessman in Tokyo, and one of the merchants who cooperate with the imperial court. Half a year ago, the Li family and the imperial court exchanged a lot of food with Chinese and French funds."

The exchange of grain he said meant that the Li family sent out grain and received salt or tea at the tea farm in the capital.

At that time, the distribution of grain in Tokyo was uneven, and Zhao Ding, who still had the right to know the prefect of Kaifeng, called on many big households to contribute grain.

Zhao Ning remembered this incident.

Those big guys charge a lot.

After 37 officials were hacked last time, he asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to open a case to investigate businessmen who had dealings with those officials.

I didn't expect to meet a big businessman in Tokyo here today.

Unexpectedly!

After Li Zhu heard Gao Qiu's explanation, he started to climb up: "My father, Li Huan, is a friend of Kaifeng government official Wang Qingzhi."

The Tuiguan of Kaifeng Mansion he was talking about was a subordinate official in the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.

Gongsun Ce in "Bao Qingtian" is an official who is in charge of prison litigation and punishment, as well as household registration and tax collection, which is equivalent to a department-level official in the province.

Gao Qiu hurriedly added in Zhao Ning's ear: "Wang Qingzhi is the promoted official of Kaifeng Mansion."

Although Gao Qiu is a scoundrel, he has absolutely nothing to say in terms of academics. He used to be Su Shi's book boy, and he has no problems with his endorsement and memory.

Now that the Imperial City Division is expanding its enrollment, it is also his duty to record the names of officials in Kaifeng Mansion.

If the emperor asked him one day and couldn't answer, he would probably be scolded.

From this point of view, our Captain Gao's work attitude is very good now.

Zhao Ning asked, "What are you doing?"

Li Zhu didn't answer directly, but said: "Young master's surname is big name, and his accent is also from Bianjing. The meeting is fate, let's make friends."

"I ask you what are you doing?" Zhao Ning's tone became cold, "Do you not understand me?"

When Li Zhu heard Zhao Ning's superior tone, he immediately became unhappy.

A young man like Li Zhu who grew up in a wealthy family is usually admired by all the stars.

However, he saw people like Zhao Ning riding horses with unusual identities, so he didn't dare to be too arrogant.

He smiled and said, "Officer, we are here to buy food, and we will leave after we finish shopping."

"Why beat people when buying food?"

"I didn't hit anyone. He fell down by himself just now, and fell in front of me. You ask him if he fell down by himself."

The middle-aged man took the opportunity to come over and help his son up immediately, before his son could speak, he hurriedly said: "Yes! We fell down ourselves!"

Li Zhu spread his hands and said, "You heard it too, they all said they fell down by themselves."

Zhao Ning sneered, he didn't get too entangled in this issue, and continued to ask: "Who asked you to buy food?"

"The imperial court!"

"The imperial court?" The smile on Zhao Ning's face was even more kind. This kind of kindness seemed very kind to outsiders. Even Han Shizhong, who didn't know the emperor well, felt that the emperor was a kind person.

But Gao Lian was ready.

Zhao Ning continued: "Right now there is a shortage of food everywhere, and the people here have extra food in their homes? Who asked you to buy it from the court?"

Li Zhu pretended to avoid it, and said with a chuckle: "This official, we are just buying grain, buying and selling, if you like, I will pay for it, and they will pay for the grain. It's okay?"

Chapter 86 I want to go back and kill people

"What I'm asking is, who asked you to buy food?"

"I told you everything, the imperial court!"

"Who is in the court!"

"This official, why do you meddle in your own business?" Li Zhu said, "We are here to buy, and we will pay for it."

Li Zhu was not afraid, he had his own backer, and continued: "Why don't you pay some money, you don't need to pay too much, 500 guan, I will give you 1000 shi of grain, and you go to Tokyo City to sell it."

He even looked at Zhao Ning with a smile on his face.

Gao Qiu on the side immediately said: "The current food price in Tokyo is still seven per stone."

7 What is the concept of one stone.

500 guan, get 1000 stones, and sell 1000 guan in Tokyo city for 7000 stones!

An ordinary soldier's salary is 1 guan for two months, and 6 guan for a year.

This ordinary soldier saved a penny without using it, and it took 1167 years to accumulate this amount of money.

And this Li Zhu can make people earn 7000 guan just by saying it casually.

Different people have such a big difference in wealth and income!

Those who defended their homes and defended the country died of freezing or fighting, with meager salaries, and the court was so short of money that, as the emperor, he cut two-thirds of his living expenses.

The area around Kaifeng mansion was destroyed by the Jin army, and countless people could not get enough to eat, so he asked Zhao Ding to urgently transport food from the southeast, so that Kaifeng mansion must not be touched.

But at this time, when he heard this person's face was calm, and even counting these transactions proudly, Zhao Ning felt...the number of people killed was less!

Gao Lian continued to make up the knife on the side: "You can earn 6500 guan!"

Saying this, Yue Fei on the side couldn't help being shocked when he heard it.

Do people in Zhuxian Town really have food in their homes?

Impossible, just experienced the war, how could there be food.

Li Zhu still had a smile on his face: "Well, it's 6500 yuan if you change hands. This official, if you have money, everyone can earn it together, and you can make friends in the future."

"Didn't you just say that the court asked you to buy grain?"

"Yes! The imperial court asked me to buy grain, but the imperial court didn't say that I would not be allowed to make money. The imperial court is behind me. You can earn this money at ease. I won't tell ordinary people."

"Wang Qingzhi asked you to come?"

"Officer, don't ask more questions than you should."

"You don't answer, do you?"

"Officer, there is money to be made, why do you have to go through this muddy water, it's not good for you."

Zhao Ning smiled.

After laughing, he said to Jing Chao in a very calm tone: "Break one of his legs first."

Worried that Ban Zhi of the Dianqian Division was using too much force, he immediately emphasized: "First, only interrupt one."

Jing Chao got off his horse immediately, and the rest of Ban Zhi also got off their horses.

Li Zhu didn't react for a while.

The thugs brought by Li Zhu raised their weapons and surrounded Li Zhu in the middle when the secretary in front of the hall surrounded him.

But how could they be the opponents of Dianqian Si Panzhi.

Dianqian Division was indeed abolished in Song Huizong's era, but since Zhao Ning traveled over and put Jing Chao in charge, Dianqian Division Banzhi's training has become more and more stringent.

Moreover, when the Royal Guards were selected, the starting height threshold was 1.8 meters.

Although these people have never been on the battlefield, it is easy to deal with Li Zhu's gang of dogs.

Not to mention that there are fierce people like Han Shizhong and Yue Fei on the side.

But I saw the secretary in front of the hall going straight, beating these people two or three times, making these people cry for their fathers and mothers.

The old man's family quickly hid aside.

The dog legs who were still kicking the door of the villagers cast shocked glances when they heard the movement here.

When Wang Baozheng saw the situation, he was so frightened that he quickly hid under the big tree in front of him. A dog next to him barked at him. Wang Baozheng hurriedly said: "Be quiet! Be careful to stew you!"

After the secretary in front of the hall finished cleaning up Li Zhu's people, Li Zhu was obviously terrified.

But he insisted: "This official, my father Li Huan is friends with Wang Qingzhi and Wang Tuiguan, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Jing Chao walked up to him and suddenly kicked him on the knee.

Yue Fei can draw a bow weighing more than 300 kilograms, and Jing Chao can also draw a bow weighing more than 200 kilograms.

How strong is Jing Chao's kick?

With a "click", Li Zhu's left leg broke like a dead tree.

The body tilted, fell to the ground, and let out a heart-piercing wail.

He never expected that this group of people would be so terrifying.

Wang Baozheng was almost scared to death behind the tree.

"Say! You are here to search for food!"

Li Zhu covered his legs and kept screaming.

"If you don't say anything else, break his other leg!"

"It's my father! My father... my father said that he bought grain outside the city and sold it in the city...don't fight, I said..."

"Who instructed your father?"

Zhao Ning never believed that it was as simple as a businessman behind it.

In the countryside, harvesting grain at 500 Wen per shi and selling it at a high price in Bianjing City, how lucrative the profits are!

He remembered that on April 23, Zhao Ding issued a decree to Jingji Road, forbidding to collect grain in the countryside at will.

It is because the rich people are in Tokyo City, and there is a shortage of food in Tokyo City, which creates huge profit opportunities.

Cizhou businessman Wang Xun had hoarded a lot of grain before he was arrested, and planned to sell it to Zongze at a high price.

If Zongze couldn't afford it, he would immediately go south and sell it in Tokyo City.

No matter how high the price is, people will buy it.

Where did Wang Xun get his food?

It's not a scrape!

In this special period, this is a huge benefit. On the surface, it is a businessman, but is there any deeds of those in power behind it?
