"More and more glib." Liang's mouth denounced, but his heart was quite useful. He took a sip of jasmine tea and said with a sneer: "your method is really good. Although the Empress Dowager has never said that the concubine is not half right from the beginning to the end, when it comes to Nanzhao, our palace sees a little worry from the Empress Dowager's eyes."
Xiao Congzi said with a deep smile, "no matter how much your concubine has helped your majesty, she is a stranger. As the saying goes," if she is not of our own race, her heart will be different. "In particular, she is still carrying the blood and blood feud of Nanzhao kingdom. She is a woman. Even though she is extremely clever, she can't fight in the battlefield. This revenge will naturally fall on your majesty. No matter how good the Empress Dowager is to her majesty, she is the mother and son of her majesty. She makes your majesty carry such a heavy burden. How can the Empress Dowager be happy with it? "
The silver fish is just an inducement. The real benefit lies in the following words. With the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty becoming wider and wider, the identity of Nanzhao's fallen princess will make muqianxue more and more difficult.
"That's the truth." Liang rubbed the warm tea cup and said with a sneer, "I just don't know when the Empress Dowager can endure it." With that, she said with some pity: "I wanted to find a chance to say something nice for sister Zhao, so that she would not stay in Hanzhang hall like in prison every day. As a result, I forgot in my hurry."
"Fortunately, the master didn't mention it, otherwise it would be counterproductive. After all, the Empress Dowager's prejudice against Zhao Niangzi is not easy to dispel."
When he said this, Liang was afraid and said, "yes, just because you said that, the Empress Dowager wanted to send you out of mingse hall. Fortunately, she was persuaded by this palace."
"I know you've had a hard time, but we're weak now. We can only walk slowly step by step. Once we're in a hurry, we'll give Yilan hall a chance. It's not worth the loss."
Liang was about to speak when Xiuchun, the maid in charge of mingse palace, came in quickly and made a hasty salute, saying: "master, news has just come from outside the palace. All the shops under master Zhao's name have been closed down."
Liang suddenly surprised, "master Zhao is doing a serious tea business. How can he be sealed up? Is there a mistake?"
"It's true that it was the Hubu who sealed it. It's said that master Zhao evaded this month's taxes and sealed the shop according to the law."
"Ridiculous Liang's eyebrows fell, "today, just a few days ago, I evaded paying taxes. It's ridiculous."
"That's right, but we can't stop the Hubu from sealing up. It's said that in addition to sealing down these houses in the city, the Hubu also sent 400 Li urgent documents to the governments of those states where Master Zhao's shop is located, asking them to seal them up at the same time."
Liang heavily put down his tea cup and said in a cold voice: "it seems that they really have nothing to do. They play with Zhao's shop. Although master Zhao has been relieved of his title, his former prestige is still there. How dare they act like this? If sister Zhao knows about this, she will be sad."
Little Congzi looked down and thought, "if the slave remembers correctly, it should be Mr. Jiang Yuejiang who is in charge of the household department. He is the only one who can send the 400 Li urgent documents."
"He is often praised by his majesty for his ability, and now he seems to be a fool." Liang thought for half a moment and said to Xiuchun, "go and tell master Zhao that it's important for him to hand in the taxes and unseal them."
Xiuchun shook her head and said, "as soon as the shop was closed down, master Zhao himself took the money ticket to the account department to pay the taxes. It's useless. It's stipulated in the law that anyone suspected of tax evasion should be closed for a month even if the taxes have been made up."
"It seems that from the beginning, the household came to Fengpu," he said
Xiuchun said helplessly: "it's true. I just don't know how to offend Mr. Jiang. According to reason, one is an official and the other is a businessman. It doesn't matter at all."
Small Congzi youyou way: "the former dynasty does not pull up, but not necessarily the palace."
Liang's eyelids jumped, staring at him and said, "you mean the one in Yilan hall?"
Xiao Congzi bowed and said, "I dare not speak in vain, but Xiao Yuanzi, who is near the imperial concubine mu, has been out of the palace day after day. I'm afraid he has something to do with it. I just don't know what method the imperial concubine used to let Lord Jiang use it for her."
"What a beautiful lady Liang's silver teeth clenched, "what's the difference between the Zhao family and her? If they want to be so aggressive, they won't even stay alive!"
"Not everyone is as kind as the master, your concubine..." Xiao Congzi sighed, "if you don't destroy all the people in the Zhao family, the imperial concubine will not stop. Fortunately, it's just a shop closure. The worst result is that the shop is closed for a month. The slave is worried about what's going on behind him. The imperial concubine's methods have always been endless."
Liang's cold voice way: "if she really dares to harm a person's life, what our palace says will not stand idly by!"
Mu Qianxue doesn't know all this. Even if she does, she won't care too much. For her, the most important thing now is to find out the secret of the tea sold by the Zhao family, so as to completely seal their shop, so as not to harm the people.
Just a few days after the closure of the shop, hundreds of people gathered in front of the household department, and there was a surge of emotion, demanding that the household department immediately unseal the Zhao shop. No matter how the officials of the household Department tried to persuade them to leave, they did not want to leave until they threatened to go to prison.
But only two days later, they gathered again and became more emotional. In this dispersal, injuries began to appear.Petition, disperse, please disperse again, disperse again. This situation is repeated at the entrance of the Yamen. The only difference is that the situation is getting worse and worse. In the back, it was difficult to suppress the war by the officers and soldiers of the Hubu alone, so they had to ask the Jingzhao government to send troops to help.
Those people rushed to the Yamen with red eyes. Some of them were bleeding all over the ground, but they didn't feel it at all. Even their families couldn't move, as if they were stunned.
This strange situation made Jiang Yue more and more sure that mu Qianxue was right. There was something wrong with the tea. However, he searched all the tea in Zhao's shop and even in the warehouse, and asked people to take them separately. There was no abnormality.
Seeing that the day of breaking up the seal is getting closer and closer, Jiang Yue is so anxious that he has no choice but to send a letter to the palace. Please mu Qianxue make a decision.
Two days before the release of the seal, Xiaoyuanzi finally came to the Hubu. When he saw the latter, Jiang Yue asked eagerly, "Mr. Yuan, what does the empress say?"
Xiao Yuanzi bowed his head and said respectfully, "lady, let me tell you. Since I can't find any material evidence, I might as well start with the human evidence."
Jiang Yue shook his head again and again, "where is the witness? Those shop assistants have been tried several times, but Zhao Ji knows, but he is also a relative of the emperor. No one can execute him without conclusive evidence."
Xiaoyuanzi said with a smile: "the adult misunderstood. The witness mentioned by Niang Niang refers to the person who once bought their tea."
