Summon the Mythical Emperor of the World

Chang'an City.

Li Si looked at the shop assistant with an elusive expression.

"Bold..."

When Cao Zhengchun saw the emperor's expression, his eyes were extremely gloomy, and he was about to take down the shop assistant.

In Cao Zhengchun's view, it was obviously the shop assistant in front of him that made the emperor feel unhappy.

For Cao Zhengchun, anyone who makes the emperor unhappy should be damned!

However.

Cao Zhengchun's actions were stopped by Li Si.

"Tell me, who actually took care of them above?"

Li Si turned his head and looked at the shop assistant again.

now.

The shop assistant's face was pale, without a trace of blood.

Just now, the momentum that Cao Zhengchun burst out at that moment made the shop assistant feel like he had fallen into hell.

The shop clerk doesn't know what the devil is.

But the shop clerk realized that he was in big trouble.

Not to mention the rest, just Cao Zhengchun next to Li Si made the shop assistant's scalp explode.

In front of Cao Zhengchun, the shop assistant didn't even dare to move.

As if encountering a natural enemy, you can only close your eyes and wait to die.

Even though Cao Zhengchun's breath was restrained at this time, the shop assistant still felt a coldness that went deep into his bones.

The shop assistant was scared.

He stood there dumbfounded, trembling all over.

"I..."

"I...."

The shop assistant opened his mouth, trying to answer Li Si's question, but couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this scene, Li Si said gently, "Don't worry, talk slowly, who is the person who is being taken care of above?"

When Li Si said this, the depths of his eyes were cold.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the control of salt has been extremely strict.

In the Tang Dynasty, except for the official salt of the imperial court, any private sale of salt was strictly prohibited.

Violators die!

In fact, not only the Tang Dynasty.

Throughout the dynasties, salt has been regulated.

Salt and iron utensils are generally related to Jiangshan Sheji!

Only when the rulers of the past dynasties held the salt in their hands, could they stabilize the country and the people.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, selling salt privately can make huge profits and is a shortcut to get rich overnight.

But in Li Si's view, this is shaking the country!

How can the majesty of the Tang Empire be trampled on by these people?

"We are the store below Changyang Commercial Bank."

"The private salt in the store was also sold by Changyang Commercial Bank."

"On the Changyang Commercial Bank, it is said that Lord Taichang Shaoqing is taking care of..."

The shop assistant said in a trembling voice.

Li Si heard the words, turned around and left, and drove back to the palace.

Changyang Commercial Bank is one of the top ten commercial banks in Chang'an City, and gathers many businessmen.

As for Tai Chang Shaoqing...

The fourth-rank officials of the Tang Dynasty held some power in Taichang Temple.

Li Si returned to the Hall of Longevity, followed by Cao Zhengchun.

Inside the Hall of Longevity.

Li Siduan sat on the throne of the dragon chair.

Changyang Commercial Bank and Taichang Temple Shaoqing were involved in the sale of illicit salt.

Li Si never imagined that the merchants in Datang would pay attention to the salt.

Li Si thinks that he is not mean to the businessmen of the Tang Dynasty.

Reform the business tax, cancel the customs tax, and improve the status of Datang merchants.

It is not like the rulers of the past dynasties, focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce.

But how did these businessmen repay Li Si?

Interfering with salt?

There was a surge of anger in Li Si's heart!

Why?

I'm thinking about you everywhere?

Are you just repaying me like this?

Join the salt today!

Are you ready to spy on imperial power tomorrow? !

Do you really think that I dare not kill people? ! !

Li Si suddenly stood up.

Li Si now found that he was still too soft-hearted.

He gave his wealth to businessmen.

But these businessmen believed that the wealth was what they deserved.

Not only that, but these merchants are greedy and want more!

"Cao Zhengchun!"

Li Si's eyes fell on Cao Zhengchun.

"The old slave is here!"

Cao Zhengchun lowered his head and said extremely humbly.

"Check it out for me!"

"I want to know which shops, merchants, and officials are still selling illicit salt in Chang'an City!"

Li Si didn't believe it, only a mere Changyang business and Shaoqing from Taichang Temple were involved.

The sale of illicit salt is related to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

A mere business firm, a Taichang Temple Shaoqing, can't be the master at all.

Behind this, there must be other interest groups.

It is with the support of these people that those businessmen dare to be so unscrupulous...

"Old slave obeys!"

Cao Zhengchun ordered to leave the palace.

Not long after Cao Zhengchun left, the Minister of the Household came to ask to see him.

With a thud, the Minister of the Chamber of Commerce knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this minister is ashamed of His Majesty!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing held a memorial in both hands.

"Today, the minister discovered that there are private salt sales in Chang'an City. After the minister's investigation, a part of it has been found. Please take a look at it!"

Li Si leaned slightly on the throne of the dragon chair and looked down at the minister of households.

Li Si didn't find it strange that the Minister of the Chamber of Commerce found out about the sale of illicit salt.

Before Li Si, the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce had been asked to monitor all transactions of the merchants.

"I know."

Li Si glanced at the memorial presented by the minister of households, and said calmly.

"Go back."

"I will handle this by myself."

Li Si put down the memorial and said.

"According to the order."

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing left the Hall of Longevity.

Two hours later.

Cao Zhengchun once again entered the palace to face the saint.

"Your Majesty, here is the list of all those involved."

Cao Zhengchun held a memorial and said respectfully.

The valet eunuch stepped forward and presented the memorial to the dragon case.

Li Si unfolded the memorial and glanced at it.

There are many names written on the memorial, including many of the three-rank officials above the court.

Li Si gently closed the memorial, his eyes changed, sharp as a knife.

Li Si only said one word: "Catch!"

"According to the order."

Cao Zhengchun took the decree and left the palace. He took the Dongchang guards and began to arrest the entire Chang'an City.

Shops, firms, officials...

As long as it has anything to do with selling illicit salt, it is within the scope of Cao Zhengchun's arrest.

The residence of Shaoqing in Taichang Temple.

Cao Zhengchun kicked open the gate of the mansion.

"Catch me!"

"Don't let one go!"

Cao Zhengchun waved his hand.

Immediately.

Countless East Factory supervisors and guards poured in.

"Director Cao, what are you doing?"

"This official is the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, a fourth-rank official in the DPRK, you have no right to search the official residence!"

"No right?"

Cao Zhengchun sneered, stepped out and appeared in front of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.

Click!

Crack! !

Cao Zhengchun pressed his hands lightly.

Taichang Temple Shaoqing's legs were directly crushed by Cao Zhengchun.

Click, click, click!

The two arms of Taichang Temple were under the control of Cao Zhengchun.

"Miscellaneous family affairs, it's not your turn to interrupt!"

Cao Zhengchun kept the Taichang Temple Shaoqing, who was as soft as mud, still on the ground and sneered.

At this moment.

Such a scene did not only happen in the Shaoqing mansion of Taichang Temple.

In the entire Chang'an City, at least dozens of the residences of the ministers of the dynasty and the central government were invaded and arrested by the guards of the East Factory.

Cao Zhengchun's order to the supervisor was to arrest everyone on the list, no matter what background or backing he had.

Cao Zhengchun is only loyal to His Majesty, other than that, Cao Zhengchun is not afraid of offending anyone!

After Cao Zhengchun arrested Shaoqing's family in Taichang Temple, he rushed to another family without hesitation.

Cao Zhengchun wanted to arrest everyone on the list to the dungeon in the shortest possible time. .

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty only said the word 'catch'!

In Chang'an City, the world was turned upside down! !
