Datang: Signed in to the Dragon Chair at the beginning, and was caught by Li Er.

Chapter 173: No Merit in the Merit Basket!!

As the sun set, in the side gate of the Jin King’s Mansion, a palanquin came out and several fast horses. Li Zhi in disguise, Li Junxian quietly left the royal mansion.

The Zheng family is not too far away, half an hour passed, and Li Zhi, who was in the palanquin, also saw Xuanhe’s Zheng family archway.

The Zhengjia archway is a well-known place in Chang’an City.

All major families will have such archways, and the largest is the archway of the five major families.

According to the regulations, the archways of the five major families are only one level worse than the archways of the imperial palace.

However, over the years, he has secretly tinkered with and made up some from other places, and just the archway is not much different from the royal family.

“Although it is a little excessive, the Zheng family has built this place quite well.”

Li Zhi saw the shadow of the archway from afar, and then looked at the vendors around him, as well as many ordinary people who could also walk around in it, and Li Zhi was quite satisfied with these Li Zhi.

Even if the Zheng family is really inappropriate in some aspects, the Zheng family still has a set in business.

It is very appropriate to take it from the people and use it for the people.

It’s just that after entering the archway of the Zheng family, Li Zhi saw that under the door of the archway, there were large frames more than one person high.

“Li Junxian, what is that.”

Li Zhi asked with some curiosity, he had never been to the Zheng Family Archway, near the core area of the Zheng family.

In the past, even if they came, they were guarded and cleared, and they could not see such a warm scene near the archway.

And this basket gave Li Zhi a not very good feeling. For some reason, Li Zhi remembered the title of toll booth………

“Oh, that’s a merit basket, the family that built the archway, the rich households, can build this kind of basket, so that ordinary people occasionally pray for blessings.”

Li Junxian yawned and gave an answer just by taking a look.

It’s just that the moment they look at it again, Li Zhi and Li Junxian’s faces are not so good-looking.

“There are such baskets in other places, but there seems to be no guards staring at them, and people can pray for them anytime, anywhere!”

Li Zhi let out a low sigh, and when Li Junxian saw this scene, he also knew what it meant.

The rules of the imperial court, the folk customs, themselves are voluntary prayers and petitions to eliminate disasters. Now the merit basket downstairs of the Zheng family archway does not seem to have that effect.

“Go ask.”

Opening the sedan curtain, Li Zhi ordered.

After Li Junxian found a little brother and asked two sentences, some people who didn’t know how to answer came over.

“Say.”

Li Zhi looked at Li Junxian’s expression, and knew that the answer to the question must be similar to what the two of them thought in their hearts.

The Zheng family looks like Xuanhe, but in fact it is already rotten.

“Your Highness, except for the Zheng family, as well as the princes and nobles, and the officials of the imperial court, no matter who enters and exits the two ends of the archway, they must pay ten copper plates.”

Li Junxian said this, well, the palanquin seemed to be a little unable to bear Li Zhi’s anger.

Ten copper plates, hehe, Li Zhi’s gaze became more and more cold.

“Besides the prince’s sons and daughters, the court officials, who else is there, it’s really a good excuse!”

Li Zhi sneered, and what he said was to the point.

If the Zheng family was bold and really dared to collect copper and silver money from everyone, Li Zhi would not say much.

However, if some people do not charge for the grade, the taste will change.

Ten copper plates may not seem like a big number, but it takes ten to get in and ten to come out.

Just running inside this archway, but twenty copper plates.

In addition, entering the archway, you need a place, but I am afraid that it will be a greater consumption.

Normal merchants, the tax and silver paid a month are only hundreds of copper plates.

And the simple merit copper plate for the Zheng family is at least half a tael of silver.

Half a tael of silver, but enough for a family of three, a month’s expenses in Chang’an City.

“Zheng’s archway, people dismount, Jun gets off the palanquin.”

The guards of the Zheng family near the archway scolded the person riding in the palanquin in front of him.

Anyone who comes here cannot ride a horse and sedan chair, which is a great honor given by the royal family, and it is also a means for the Zheng family to make profits.

“Whoever has to come down.”

Li Zhi’s faint voice came out, he had been made the king of Jin, and in terms of regulations, he was higher than the Zheng family.

Now the watchdog of the Zheng family has such an attitude, which is enough to see how domineering the Zheng family is on weekdays.

They dare to block the obviously identified teams of carriages and horses, not to mention how exploited ordinary people need to be exploited when they pass through here.

When passing through the archway, the people passing by had to throw ten copper coins into the large frame below the archway.

It doesn’t seem like much, but it’s so prosperous here, everyone throws ten copper coins, and the days go on for a long time, and this alone is astronomical.

“Take my token, don’t show it.”

Li Zhi did not clash with these guards in person, his own identity, why should he have too much contact with these guys.

Li Junxian took the token and walked to the vicinity of this guard, and before the token was handed over, a few knives poked and poked over.

“When the king of heaven and Laozi come, he will dismount, get off the palanquin, and the earth buns from somewhere!”

When the distance was a few feet, several arrogant guards were even ready to take out the knife.

A little farther away, these few people did not see that the sign of the Jin King’s Mansion on the carriage was just an ordinary person.

“Twitter, come on, take away!”

The guards approached directly, and a few people who patrolled the city came over with a smile.

On weekdays, there are also some who are not softened and want to ride a horse and fight with a sword, but the swords in the hands of these old men do not have long eyes.

“Shut up, dodge!”

Zheng Huaning walked over quickly, knock, knock, a few feet against several Zheng family guards.

Just taking a look, Zheng Huaning could see that among the few people who were surrounded, there was Li Junxian!

Where Li Junxian is, Li Zhi must be nearby, which seems to have become an iron rule.

Zheng Huaning secretly cursed in his heart, the guards near this archway are all Wang Baba.

Originally, the Zheng family had a handle in Li Zhi’s hands, but now at this time, not only did they not solve the trouble quickly, but they sent the more deadly and obvious handle up.

Fish and flesh people, bullying the township, this is usually an indifferent thing, but at this moment it will be infinitely magnified.

“That’s it, let’s get off the sedan chair!”

Li Zhi’s faint voice sounded, and he didn’t say much now, but just this sentence made Zheng Huaning, who was still teaching the house slave, feel like a mourner.

“No need, no need, hurry up.”

Zheng Huaning let out a low roar and signaled the guards around him to dodge.

These guards dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only look at the palanquin fiercely.

But when the palanquin approached, the symbol of the Jin King’s Mansion instantly frightened these evil slaves.

“This, this…”

The guards fell to their knees incoherently, and some were even scared out of their urine.

Li Zhi has been in the limelight recently, and anyone dares to clean it up.

What these people just said is not just as simple as offending Li Zhi, it is simply humiliating Li Zhi.

Heavenly King Laozi, the role of these four words is now prominent.
