Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me
Chapter 76 The Xu Family is the Chicken to Scare the Monkeys
In the prison of the Censorate, Xu Heng had disheveled hair and looked anxious, but overall he was still full of hope.
The night before yesterday, he was sleeping soundly at home when he was suddenly arrested by the Yulin Guards and interrogated all night. They said that he was worshipping an evil god in a wild temple in the eastern suburbs. After a whole night of interrogation, he finally understood what was going on. However, it was useless for him to protest his injustice, as he was escorted to the prison of the Censorate the next day.
After entering the Censorate, Xu Heng felt relieved. After all, the Censorate was almost dominated by aristocratic factions. According to his understanding, it must be his uncle who used his connections.
Now that I have arrived at the Censorate, my grievances will naturally be cleared up.
When Xu Hongtu appeared in the prison, Xu Heng became more certain of this guess.
"Uncle, uncle, I am innocent. I don't know anything about wild temples or evil gods."
Xu Heng lay at Xu Hongtu's feet, his face full of anxiety.
However, Xu Hongtu just looked at him without saying a word for a long time, until Xu Heng felt creepy and cold in his heart, and even his whole body began to feel cold and tremble involuntarily.
"Xu Heng, how could your uncle not know that you were wronged? Someone is trying to punish our Ruyin Xu family."
Xu Heng, who had been slumped on the ground, became alert again when his uncle spoke. He came to Xu Hongtu's side and said, "Uncle, even if someone wants to punish us, there must be real evidence. You can't just accuse someone without any evidence. Besides, I haven't offended anyone."
Xu Hongtu sighed quietly: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for three years, but has never been popular among the people. Now Your Majesty wants to establish his authority, and our Xu family is the chicken to scare the monkeys. Do you understand?"
Xu Heng was confused for a moment and didn't quite understand what his uncle meant, so he just sat there in a daze.
Xu Hongtu didn't rush him and took out food from the food box beside him, including wine and vegetables.
"Xu Heng, all the evidence in this case points to you. For the sake of the Ruyin Xu family, you..."
Xu Heng's eyes gradually focused, and when he saw the bottle of wine handed over by his uncle, he suddenly screamed and waved his hand, knocking the bottle of wine away.
"No, that's not fair. I didn't do anything. Why should it be me?"
Xu Heng became hysterical, but two jailers rushed in and pinned him to the ground.
Xu Hongtu sighed and waved his hand to signal the jailer to let him go: "At this point, there is only one way. Sacrifice you to save the Ruyin Xu family, otherwise our entire Xu family will be completely destroyed."
The jailer had let go of his hand, but Xu Heng was still lying on the ground, as if his soul had left his body.
Xu Hongtu slowly stood up: "Think about it carefully, I will come to see you tomorrow."
……
Since Lu Xi ascended the throne, both the people and the court have complained about this.
It's not their fault. After all, the Lu family lineage will be extinct in Lu Xi's hands. Even if you become the emperor, who will be the next emperor? Who will succeed to the throne?
Be it the officials in the court or the aristocratic families throughout Dasheng, no one knows what the future of Dasheng will be like. This is the main reason for the instability among the people.
Therefore, all Lu Xi could do was to intimidate his ministers with the power of thunder.
Three years ago, she put down the rebellion like a god of death, intimidated all officials, and ascended the throne with great force. Three years later, she established her reputation again with the disaster relief in Jiangzhou Prefecture. Now is the stage for her to consolidate her imperial power. She has no other choice but to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
……
Ling Chuan has been extremely busy during this period. He is decorating the jewelry gallery, selecting products for Liao Yishou, and the glazed window business has also been developed. Several families have placed orders for glazed panels.
Another one is the franchise investment conference on Xi'anmen Street.
Dongfu Ji has not been open for business for several days, and the shop assistants and the owner have disappeared into obscurity.
He Dong has gradually come out of his fear in the past few days. According to rumors outside, all the charges in the evil god case were pinned on Xu Heng. Although the trial has not yet officially started, the outcome has been decided and he is not implicated in the matter.
However, the spirit that had just relaxed immediately tensed up again because of Lingchuan's arrival.
"Mr. Ling, what is it that would trouble you to come here in person?"
He Dong forced a smile and welcomed Ling Chuan into the shop.
Ling Chuan said nonchalantly: "I was just passing by, and by the way, I'm going to hold a franchise investment conference. As the only gold medal franchise store of our Yunfuji, you have to pay attention to this matter."
He Dong nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, what kind of conference is this? How does it work?"
Ling Chuan leaned a little closer and said, "Some time ago, there was a Dongfuji who spread rumors that my Yunfuji had stolen his recipe. All the people in the shop have left in the past few days. He set up a shed in front of the door. I thought I could do it there. It's a ready-made place. What do you think?"
He Dong was originally holding a teacup to hide his uneasiness, but when he heard Ling Chuan mention the shed, his hand suddenly trembled and the tea spilled on his hand, scalding it so much that his hand shook and even the cup flew out.
"This tea is too hot. It burns my hands."
He Dong explained awkwardly, but saw Ling Chuan's scrutinizing gaze.
"Mr. Ling, go on. What do you want me to do?"
Ling Chuan actually knew that Ho Tung was the manager behind Dong Fu Ji a long time ago, but in his opinion, it was very common for dealers to find out the bottom line of suppliers and then organize production and sales themselves.
However, no matter how common it is, Ling Chuan will never show mercy to this kind of behavior of pulling the plank out after crossing the bridge, otherwise he would not have been so cruel when he tricked Xu Heng.
Now Xu Heng is definitely finished, so the next thing to do is to deal with Ho Tung. However, Ho Tung is now the largest franchise store of Yun Fook Kee and still has considerable value.
"Franchise recruitment means promoting how good Yunfuji's dim sum is and how prosperous your franchise stores are, so that more people can join Yunfuji."
Ling Chuan stood up and looked down at He Dong: "If this matter is handled well, I can forgive the previous things."
before things.
These words were like a bolt from the blue to He Dong's ears. It turned out that Ling Chuan already knew about his affairs.
He Dong's mind raced, he stood up and bowed to Ling Chuan: "Don't worry, Master Ling, I will definitely do my best on this matter."
"Thank you very much, Manager He." Ling Chuan smiled with satisfaction and said goodbye.
He Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Ling Chuan was young, he was surprisingly cunning. He Dong now had nothing but admiration for Ling Chuan.
After dealing with He Dong's affairs, Ling Chuan returned to Yun Fu Ji. Surprisingly, there were already people waiting for him in the shop, and not just one, but three.
