Seeing these Qingpi pressing the merchants who entered the town to beat the goods on the ground, Zhu Houzhao couldn't be a cold-snatching person. After all, he was not a popular villain, and he didn't need to be powerless because of his weakness.

Because these young skins beat the farmhouse in front of Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao did not let Guo Rong say he could dissuade him, but instead directly ordered: "Stop!"

These young men stopped beating the seller, and only turned around and glanced at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was not afraid of these green skins. In the eyes of the people, these green skins may be local snakes, domineering people, and cannot be provoked, but in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, there is no even a threat.

But when these young men saw Zhu Houzhao wearing gorgeous clothes, they didn't seem to attack Zhu Houzhao like a farmer. Only one of the leaders came forward and threatened verbally:

"This guest official has a Beijing accent. It must be the first time that the merchant has come from Beijing. I don't know the rules of our Nanxun Town. Xing here to advise me, "Something is a little bit of nothing, so the guest official should not take care of it. If this farmer breaks the rules, he should naturally beat him!"

Zhu Houzhao thought that he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In the area ruled by the Ming Dynasty, only he had the power to establish rules. He had established many rules, but it seemed that he had not established any rules that would not allow the people to trade.

then.

Zhu Houzhao asked: "Dare you ask, what rules did he violate?"

"Of course, it is the rule of our teeth shop. All transactions have to be transferred through our teeth shops. It seems that this merchant is really the first time to come to Nanxun Town. If you want to stay in a top-notch shop, you have to find a store first. If you want to buy raw silk and cotton yarn, you have to find a cloth shop first. This is the rule of our Nanxun Town."

After the leader said this, Qingpi continued to order: "Call me!"

So the other green-skinned men continued to fight again.

And the farmer seemed to be a person without rigidity. He just held his head and begged for mercy and did not dare to resist.

"Slow down!"

Zhu Houzhao shouted again at this time, and immediately ordered: "The rules you just now are not rules. The constitutional outline stipulates that only the emperor has the power to legislate, that is, the power to establish rules. The so-called rules are naturally invalid. Neither the merchants nor merchants need to abide by them. As for your beatings, it is even more trampling on the laws of the Ming Dynasty! You are committing a crime!"

Qingpi, the leader, stopped and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the guest official is not a merchant, but an official?"

"Of course not. What are our identities? You don't need to inquire, and you are not qualified to inquire." Zhu Houzhao said, then gave a wink to the Jinyiwei Guo Rong. Guo Rong understood and ordered the assaulted farmhousekeeper to help the beaten villager up.

At this time, Qingpi, the leader also laughed: "Since you are not an official, you should care about other people's business. Of course, even if you are an official, you must not ignore the rules here when you come to Nanxun Town, what constitutional outline, what emperor, this guest official, are you joking with me? What is his emperor's thing? Can he still take care of my Nanxun Town?"

"He is not really anything, but at least based on what you said just now, you can take your head. Do you believe it or not?" Zhu Houzhao also replied with a smile.

Qingpi, who was in charge, saw Zhu Houzhao being so polite, thought that Zhu Houzhao should not be considered a person with a strong background, so he had no scruples, but what he didn't know was that Zhu Houzhao just didn't want to directly destroy the law and kill people.

"I believe it is trust, but the old emperor can know what I said, and you can prove what I said." Qingpi, the leader, started to say it, thinking that if he was really a person with background, he would not be so patient to talk to him. Therefore, he thought that Zhu Houzhao was not a person who could not be offended, so he became more and more courageous: "Today I don't have time to talk to you, so I continue to fight for me, break one leg of this guy, see if he dares to enter the town for private sale!"

After the Qingpi, the leader, said that several Qingpi wanted to beat the farmer again.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao gave a wink at the Jinyiwei Guo Rong. Guo Rong understood and swept the Qingpi who was approaching the village with a whip. The Qingpi, who was in charge, looked at it and said, "Oh, you really have to meddle in other people's business. You dare to start. Don't think that you are from the capital, but you dare to play wild in our Nanxun territory. Brothers, let them have a long memory!"

As soon as the leader said this, several Qingpi greeted Zhu Houzhao and others.

But within four or five rounds, Guo Rong was knocked to the ground and screamed.

Qingpi, the leader, saw that the people brought by Zhu Houzhao were good, and realized that he had met someone with a weak combat power, so he had to take his own people away. However, he still shouted: "If you have the ability, don't leave Nanxun Town these days, otherwise I will let you die without a burial place!"

Zhu Houzhao ignored these green skins and did not take the threat from these green skins at all. Instead, she ordered Guo Rong: "Let the farmhousekeeper return to his hometown."

But the merchant suddenly turned around and hugged Zhu Houzhao's feet: "You can't leave. You broke my raw silk and cotton yarn and beat me. You have to pay me your capital. This is the capital that my family relied on for a living! Woo woo!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment: "I... it's really strange. This brother, if I hadn't helped you just now, those green skins would have broken your legs. Not only did you not thank me, but you also said that I broke your raw silk and cotton yarn, and my people beat you. You are very heartless in doing this!"

"What green skin! Where is there in Nanxun Town? It's you! You, a foreigner, bullies me and I refuse to sell it to you at a cheap price. You will break my goods and you will compensate me!"

The farmer didn't dare to look at Zhu Houzhao's eyes, but just hugged Zhu Houzhao's feet and started crying and yelling desperately.

At this time, a man wearing a copper coin robe came, but as soon as the man with the copper coin robe came, the farmer ran to the man: "Mr. Zhai, you have to make a decision for the young man. These officials rely on their own origins and wanted to buy my raw silk and cotton yarn at a low price. I refused to say that they wanted to sell it to your fangs, but they forced me to sell it. I refused to beat me and broke my raw silk and cotton yarn. My family relied on this job. What should I do? Woo woo!"

The farmer cried miserably.

But the people around Zhu Houzhao were extremely angry at this time, because everyone knew that the farmhouse was obviously lying and was making a fuss.

Zhu Houzhao was also surprised. He always thought that the evil in society exists in the powerful class. After all, the strong are the prey of the weak. But now he found that the weak will actually have a bad side and will use his pity and kindness to achieve his own interests.

People have conscience but also have the desire to maximize their interests. At present, this farmer obviously sees that he is kind and looks relatively wealthy, and is still a foreigner. Naturally, he wants to come and falsely and get compensation to reduce the losses caused by being beaten by the white skin and trampling raw silk and cotton yarn after entering the town.

This kind of psychology is understandable and also a smart approach.

But Zhu Houzhao was very disgusted with this intelligence, and even extremely angry, even more angry than the ruling class bullying the ruling class, because these people did not know how serious the consequences and the price they would be. Perhaps they would only realize how serious the consequences and the price were when they were bullied by the government by local gentry and evil forces so that no one was willing to stand up for them.

Zhu Houzhao is very unhappy now, looking at the farmhousekeeper who is holding his thigh and hitting his own thighs unhappily.

The merchant seemed to have realized Zhu Houzhao's anger and did not dare to look at Zhu Houzhao, but he also seemed to know that Zhu Houzhao was a good person, a person who would not turn against him because of compensation for some money. Moreover, he also had the boss of the Yashang Store, Mr. Zhai, who happened to come over, and he believed that Mr. Zhai would definitely not want to see a merchant who wanted to force the goods from the merchant directly appeared.

Mr. Zhai did come over, and he bowed to Zhu Houzhao with great grace: "I don't know that this kind-hearted man respects his surname and name. I am a student, Mr. Zhai, is now the owner of the southern tour station. Since this farmer is entering the town to sell goods, it is naturally in accordance with the rules. But I don't know why this merchant was bullying others and taking away their livelihoods. Although Mr. Zhai is a native of the village, he dare not favor the villager of the villager. This merchant still compensates the farmers for the losses! This will not embarrass each other and there is no need to go to the government!"

"I am Zhang Xia, but Zhang really didn't forcefully buy or even trampled on the goods of this merchant. And Zhang helped him. Otherwise, the merchant would have been beaten by those green skins and covered in bruises. The goods would probably be completely trampled on by those green skins. The merchant not only did not thank him but instead slandered Zhang, which really made Zhang sad. If he wanted to sue him, Zhang would also want to sue him for slandering!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he glanced at the village house again and smiled faintly: "Brother, Zhang will give you another chance. Do you think Zhang is helping you? This person's conscience cannot be lost. If he loses it, there will be cause and effect. If all the kind-hearted people in the world are falsely accused by you like this, then there will be no good people willing to stand up for you in the future."

Zhu Houzhao's words touched the village house very much, but he thought that Zhu Houzhao's accent was just a foreigner. Even if he slandered him, it would not spread it to the village. It would only hurt him, but he was a kind person. Moreover, this kind person looked very rich at first glance, and even if he had lost some money, it would not be a big deal. Naturally, there would be no impact. Moreover, this person would not be able to cure me if he left Nanxun Town in the future. Although this person wanted to sue the official, the great master would naturally not be a local person because a foreigner was a local person. As long as Zhai Yuanwai was willing to help him, he would not have to be afraid of this person suing the official because Zhai Yuanwai was the great master's student.

So, the merchant shook his head: "No, it's not like this. There is no green skin. It's the strong man you and the strong man you brought to buy my goods at a very low price. I refused to say I wanted to sell it to the store, so you instigated your strong man to beat me, and asked me to kneel down for you and trampled on my goods!"

As he said that, the farmer continued to kowtow to Zhai Yuanwai and said, "Mr. Zhai, you have to make the decision for me!"

Seeing this, Guo Rong, the Jinyiwei, hurriedly wanted to reveal his identity. Zhu Houzhao hurriedly grabbed Guo Rong and smiled faintly: "Since that's the case, report to the official."

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao cooperated so much, Zhai didn't say anything more, and said, "Since that's the case, I will report it to the official. Zhai doesn't want to be biased. He is willing to write a confession for the two and submit it to the great master!"

"I'm working hard, let the county government bring people to the restaurant in front of me to find me!" Zhu Houzhao said as she was about to lift her foot, but found that the farmhouse was still holding his feet. Zhu Houzhao had to ask the farmhouse: "Why, you are still unwilling to let go of your hand now, and you have to wait for the county government to capture me before you can."

This farmer obviously prefers to listen to Mr. Zhai, so he glanced at Mr. Zhai.

At this time, Mr. Zhai just pretended to be angry and said, "Let go! Whether this guest bullies you or you have falsely accused this guest, the great master will make the decision. Even if this guest bullies you, he will not be able to escape. Don't bully others with such reason!"

After hearing what Mr. Zhai said, the farmer let go.

Zhu Houzhao was able to pull away.

"Guo Rong, this is really not the world. I really don't know that the world is dangerous. Although hidden arrows are hard to defend in the court, there are checks and balances, so we dare not act recklessly. However, the countryside is really naked and arrogant. Do you think, shouldn't I help the farmhouse today?"

To be honest, Zhu Houzhao was just a college student who had not been involved in the past. The modern and civilized systems and the levels he had come into contact with him made him not have a clear understanding of human nature. Now he has been on the throne for a long time in the Ming Dynasty and has great power. Naturally, it is difficult to feel the cruelty of society and the complexity of human nature.

Today's experience taught Zhu Houzhao a good lesson. He found that helping the poor is not as simple as he imagined. It is abominable to rely on power to bully the weak, while the weak ignore morality and pursue their own interests is also one of the reasons why society lacks warmth, even cruelty and even destruction.

"Your Majesty, I have lived in the wells of the capital city. I know that life is not easy for the people. Sometimes I do shameless things to make myself eat. I was later reading some books by Your Majesty. I know that I have enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace, and that the warehouse is solid and that the etiquette is known. This farmer may have done this unworthy act just because he does not want to lose goods in vain. It is natural that Your Majesty is right to help him;

But the mercy of Your Majesty's charity made him feel that Your Majesty is bullied. If Your Majesty killed those green skins, this farmer could only be grateful to Your Majesty and did not dare to slander Your Majesty, because he would know that it is definitely not easy to be punished by those who dare to kill these green skins with different backgrounds. But Your Majesty did not kill these green skins, which made this farmer think that Your Majesty is bullied. In addition, the appearance of Mr. Zhai appeared, and in order to recover the losses of his goods being trampled, he could only slander Your Majesty!"

Guo Rong replied that Guo Rong, who had been at the grassroots level of Beijing, knew more about these humanities than Zhu Houzhao, so he answered truthfully.

After staying with Emperor Zhu Houzhao for a long time, Guo Rong also knew that it is important for those who are superior to follow the laws and regulations, and it is also important not to abuse their power. However, he had to admit that it is easy to backfire if you don’t kill yourself because you are the emperor, because neither the evildoer nor the helper thinks that you just don’t want to abuse your power, you just think that you are afraid and that you are not that strong.

"But those green-pisses were just beating. Even if I wanted to punish them for their death sentence, I had to have a law to interrogate Yicheng. If I killed them directly, I would betray the law of the Ming Dynasty. But what's ridiculous is that in the eyes of the merchants, I did this to become a manifestation of my fear of killing them, and a manifestation of my voluntary bullying! I understand why it is so difficult to govern the country according to the law!"

"The people of our Ming Dynasty are really not open to their wisdom. They don't know how important it is to maintain the dignity of the law and maintain morality. Perhaps one day they are no longer the people, and they will not treat the people as human beings!"

Zhu Houzhao sat back on the chair with some regret.

Guo Rong could also see the disappointment of His Majesty the Emperor, but he could not say anything, so he could only clench his fists. He was very angry, he was even more angry than Zhu Houzhao and helpless. At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor must be extremely disappointed with his people, and may even become a tyrant who no longer cares about the interests of the people. But he didn't know how to comfort him. He wanted to force the farmer to admit his mistakes and repent for His Majesty the Emperor, but he knew that even if he did that, it would be fake. The farmer did not really repent, but feared his power.

At this time, the people from the county government came and said, "The great master has an order to detain Zhang Xia and others in court!"

Because Zhu Houzhao was surrounded by many people, the county government could see that Zhu Houzhao's identity would never be a simple commoner, so he did not forcibly take Zhu Houzhao away, and only summoned the magistrate's order.

Guo Rong couldn't help but prepare to draw his sword. As long as Zhu Houzhao ordered, he could kill these yamen runners clean now.

However, Zhu Houzhao did not give an order, but only whispered: "Everyone follows me to see how the county-level government manages the place. If you don't contact it yourself, you really don't know the secret here. People who are hiding in the dark do not need to reveal their identities. You guys who follow me in the open and follow me."

Zhu Houzhao said and stood up first; "Take a lead!"

The yamen runner sent Ding general Zhu Houzhao so politely, and naturally, like most people, think that those who abide by the rules and act politely are weak, so they just snorted lightly and took Zhu Houzhao and others to the county government.

...

At this time.

Mr. Zhai had already arrived at the magistrate Mei Zhen, and pushed a silver dollar in front of the master. Then he said to magistrate Mei: "Mr., today's case is not complicated, but since the merchant said that the merchant wanted to buy raw silk and cotton yarn directly from the merchant, this violated the taboo of Nanxun Town. In any case, the merchant would teach a lesson."

"What is the background of this merchant? Have you checked?" asked the magistrate Mei. Most of the merchants in Jingji who can come to Jiangnan to purchase are civil servants, so Mei Zhen had to be careful.

"The students have checked that they are not from the high-ranking official family, nor are they called Zhang Xia. Moreover, there are indeed no big names who come to Nanxun Town recently, so the mentor doesn't have to worry about any mistakes. However, Zhang Xia has a lot of servants, and I'm afraid they are also the son of a wealthy businessman. He must have blackmailed 10,000 or 20,000 silver dollars."

Mr. Zhai said.

"I already know, you should go down first, spend more time on the autumn examination, and you should not easily take on this lawsuit in the future," said the magistrate Mei Zhen.

Mr. Zhai also hurriedly bowed to him.

At that time, the yamen runners had already reported: "Grandmaster, Zhang Xia and Pei Zhuang households have been detained!"

"Seeking a case when you open the court", Mei Zhen gave an order, then changed into a public uniform and came to the middle hall.

Here, Zhu Houzhao and the village house were already waiting in the hall.

When he was young, Magistrate Mei walked out: "Why don't the people in the hall kneel?"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that he had issued an order to ban the people from kneeling for trial when they saw the officials. He had been emperor for twenty years, and it was in vain to share his imperial edict. The officials still let the civilians kneel down, and the civilians did not realize that it was unruly for them to kneel down and the civilians did not realize that it was unruly for them to kneel down and the civilians were not at all aware.

"The constitutional outline stipulates that the people of the Ming Dynasty have no reason to kneel down easily. Even if officials govern one side, they should not regard the people as slaves and trample on their dignity!" Zhu Houzhao said.

Mei Zhen intended to give Zhu Houzhao a killing stick and shouted: "If you dare not kneel down, you will despise the court and beat me!"

As soon as Mei Zhen finished speaking, several soap yamen runners came over with sticks.

The farmer knelt down first, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but feel proud. He thought that when he saw this person not kneeling, he thought that he had some fame and fortune, and was about to make it clear when the great master appeared. In that case, he would probably not be able to take it. After all, he accidentally offended a person with fame. At present, he seemed to be just a people without fame. Just like him, as a commoner, he had to kneel when he should kneel and talked about the constitutional outline, what is the constitutional outline? Can the county magistrate keep his word?

"Wait, my son is Zhang Xia, the nephew of the Marquis of Shouning. He is now in the hands of the Jinyiwei official, so he is naturally inconvenient to kneel down!"

Just as Zhu Houzhao was thinking that he could not fit the goods, Guo Rong, the Jinyiwei, said this in a hurry, and exposed half of the Jinyiwei Feiyu suit under her robe.

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "That's right, I am Zhang Xia, the assistant commander of the Jinyiwei."

Paji!

At this time, the magistrate Mei Zhen couldn't help but roll off the chair, his official hat fell to the ground, and after a while he got up from the case: "You, what did you say, are you the nephew of the Marquis of Shouning?"

Zhu Houzhao is indeed the nephew of the Hou of Shouning, and can be regarded as a nephew, so it is certainly true that he said so.

At this time, the magistrate Mei Zhen didn't know what to do for a moment, so he just looked at the farmhouse: "Take this unruly person who has slandered the royal relatives and beat them to death!"

The farmer was also confused, and at the same time realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao: "Give up your life, this master, the young man didn't expect you to be a noble man. The young man didn't know how good he was. The young man should not slander you. Please spare your life because it is not easy for the young man to support the whole family!"
Chapter completed!
