The three of them were about to get up, but they saw about a hundred royal guards a hundred feet away, holding weapons on the periphery of Yanziji, placing them in a row. The matter of raw silk from the three major families was investigated, and Li Zhong and Suzhou garrisons were carried out. The main responsibility of these hundred royal guards was to protect Li Muge's safety.

Those who can be selected as royal guards are all elite soldiers and generals, so their martial arts will naturally not be weak. More importantly, the imperial envoy and royal guards represent the face of the emperor. Even if Wang, Zhao and Xie have high martial arts skills, they dare not openly challenge the royal authority, otherwise they will be no different from rebellion and will bring devastating disasters to the family.

The three leaders' faces became very embarrassed, but there was no way.

Seeing that the time was similar, Li Muge said slowly, but it was not considered a robbery. Recently, Jiangnan was rainy and the weather was wet. Raw silk was easy to get moldy when placed in your warehouse. In order to protect your property from loss, I sent someone to move your raw silk to the warehouse of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau. After all, it is an official warehouse, and the storage conditions are more complete.

This sentence is very sound, and even I thought to myself, there is nothing wrong with it.

Li Muge continued, of course, you don’t have to pay the storage fee. I will ask the emperor to waive it for you.

Zhao Qiansun, Lord Li, when are you going to return it to us?

Li Muge took out a three-point contract from his arms and placed it on the Eight Immortals table. He said that the court will not treat you badly. Our Jiangnan Weaving Bureau will purchase these raw silk at a price of three taels per pound. When the silk from the Weaving Bureau is exported to Nanyang, the payment will be returned, and then the raw silk will be delivered to the silver for purchase.

The three of them looked at the contract with a dark look on their faces.

Li Muge was exhausted and poured a cup of tea and asked with a smile, "How about it, the three leaders have seen it almost. If there is no objection, then sign and seal it. In this way, everyone looks good in terms of face, and I am a lot of officials, so I will not pursue you for bribing the killer to assassinate me."

Wang Chong shouted, When will we assassinate the adults?

Li Muge asked back, who can prove that you did not assassinate your official?

The three of them were speechless by Li Muge.

It turned out that since the three major families became domineering, Li Muge had not been prepared to compromise. After coming to Jinling, both sides had their own magical powers, and Li Muge pressed forward step by step, making the three major families take risks. This gave Li Muge the reason to mobilize troops from Suzhou, and through violent means, he became much stronger.

As mentioned earlier, when it comes to interests, the court's methods are more open and persistent than the green forests of the rivers and lakes. As long as the court has this idea and as long as the emperor is still in power, the war has set the tone. Therefore, Zhang Youqian's analysis was very correct at the time. If it were him, he would have taken the initiative to hand over the raw silk business, and perhaps he would have sold his favors and obtained certain replacement resources from the court.

If you resist stubbornly, the end will be destruction.

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, Li Muge went from a nerd who only read the books of sages to a "official" with means and power. After the history draft of Lingzong was lost and the teacher Xie Shiting committed suicide, Li Muge's career was almost in desperate situation. Just when everyone thought that his life was about to be finished, he stopped him and offered a seal and returned to the core of the court's power struggle.

Genius knew how Li Muge survived in the months this spring. Both Zhang Youqian and I felt inferior to Zhang Youqian.

Li Muge said, what are you thinking about? If you don’t sign this document, don’t leave Yanziji. It doesn’t matter, I have time to accompany you. As he said that, he sat on the Grand Master’s chair and looked at them quietly. Not long after, Li Zhong came to report the results of the battle, and seized a total of 120,000 kilograms of raw silk, 3,000 taels, etc.

The three leading families are probably very confused at this moment. After entering and leaving, they will lose nearly 400,000 taels of silver. Among them, the Xie family compensated the most, about 200,000 taels of silver. Although the amount of these silver is not small, for families like the Wang and Zhao families, it is at most a loss of money.

Although the Xie family is also a century-old family, after Xie Donglai took power, the strength of the Xie family was greatly reduced, far behind the Wang and Zhao families.

Losing money is a trivial matter, which annoyed the imperial envoy. If Li Muge really became serious, it would be enough for the three major families to have a drink. Now Li Muge is very determined. This document must be signed, and if it is not signed, it must be signed, and if it is not signed, it will not give them a chance to choose at all.

Finally, Xie Donglai could not withstand the pressure and came to the Eight Immortals table. Someone had already handed over the pen and signed his name on the raw silk procurement document. He knelt down to Li Muge and said, "Xie Donglai was confused for a moment and begged the imperial envoy to forgive him."

Li Muge smiled, walked forward and took a few steps, and placed his hand on Xie Donglai's head.

In ancient times, there were immortals who stroked their heads, but now there was an imperial envoy who touched their heads. Such actions undoubtedly meant that Xie Donglai's complete surrender to Li Muge.

Li Muge said: Do it well, there will be opportunities in the future.

Xie Donglai also smiled and agreed, following Lord Li to have some meat to eat.

Li Muge shook his head, no, he followed the court and had meat to eat. People are more important to know themselves. As the saying goes, if you benefit from good people and get shot by a rabbit, Xie Ding's family can judge the situation, take the overall situation into consideration, and be in line with the wishes of my official. I feel very comforted, haha!

Zhao Qiansun disdained to say, "Slaves from the three surnames!"

Wang Chong's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Xie Donglai is really a fence-bearer. He was involved with the Japanese pirates back then. Later, when the Xie family seized power, he defected to the Xuanyuan Sword King Chong. Now, when Li Muge comes, the thundering methods he showed have led him to join Li Muge's camp again.

This is also related to Xie Donglai's growth environment. He was an expelled son. He had no foundation and no backing. In addition to his own efforts, the key is to constantly judge the situation and choose a relationship that is beneficial to him to maintain.

Xie Donglai signed the seal, so someone took him away from Yanziji.

The Xuanyuan Sword King Chong and the South Stealing Zhao Qiansun were a well-known figure in Jinling City. He had a lot of calculations, but he didn't even count. Today, it was actually on this young man. Now the three major families in Jinling were sealed and messed up by the government. Li Muge trapped the three of them in Yanziji, and there was no one at the helm at home. At this moment, it was easy to capsize in the gutter.

Li Muge said that Zhao Dangjia has a Erlong Mountain outside Suzhou City, which specifically intercepts the goods escorted by the government to escort food and grass tribute. I wonder if you have heard of it?

Zhao Qiansun's face froze and shook his head repeatedly, but he had never heard of it.

Li Muge said oh, that's good. Last night, he received a tip that Erlong Mountain was captured by officers and soldiers, and thirty-six bandits were captured, all of which had been beheaded, and his head was hung outside Suzhou City. He was exposed for one month to serve as a warning!

Zhao Qiansun exclaimed, what?

Li Muge said calmly, "The Xie family should not be panicked." It is said that the leader of Erlong Mountain is Zhao Tang, who is eighteen years old this year. When he was arrested last night, Xie Juntang found that the momentum was wrong and took the opportunity to run away.

Zhao Qiansun breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Muge said again, but our imperial guards are not vegetarians, they caught him in a broken well!

Zhao Qiansun: Ah?

Li Muge continued, but Zhao Tang was proficient in collarbone methods, knocked two guards unconscious in the middle of the night, and ran away overnight.

Zhao Qiansun's eyebrows stretched out.

Li Muge said, our Suzhou garrison has raised 30 wolf dogs, which came in handy at the critical moment. In less than half an hour, Zhao Tang was successfully captured!

Zhao Qiansun: Ah! What happened later?

Li Muge pointed to the document. If you want to know what happened next, you will first sign the document!
Chapter completed!
