Chapter 220 Not following the routine
But all the franchisees of Xia Ji are still calm and do business as usual.
The business environment is calm, and diners are affected by this, and naturally they feel uneasy about whether they should buy food or not. Moreover, because provocations and troubles are more common these days, they have become accustomed to it. .
What’s more, I feel that there is a good show to watch when I come to eat. I feel that it is very cost-effective, so I might as well come every day to see what kind of new excitement there is to see today.
While watching the excitement, I would occasionally make a fuss...
As for the yamen, they are also busy and tired, but they are enjoying themselves in their hearts.
With the instructions and hints from the county captain, all the cadres were very motivated. As soon as someone said that there was something happening in Xia Ji, they all ran away like rabbits.
After all, catching one more ruffian can solve one labor quota, and one less ordinary honest person will have to suffer this crime. Such a good thing must be done actively!
As a result, a competition began secretly in the yamen, competing to see which team of yamen officials had completed more tasks and who had the greater honor.
As the days passed, it was already mid-month, but Zou Fuquan couldn't sit still.
The local gangsters sent to look for trouble were taken into the yamen one after another, and without exception, there was no sign of being released.
The yamen seemed to be addicted to arresting them, and would not let anyone go. No matter whether those people had successfully caused trouble or not, they would just arrest them first and interrogate them carefully.
In the past two days, I even vaguely heard that the Yamen seemed to be sending all these people to do labor.
As soon as the news came out, the gangsters who had accepted the money given away by Gensheng and promised to go to Xia Ji to cause trouble the next day gave up their plans temporarily and refused to do anything again.
Yes, this money is indeed a good thing, and they are willing to make more money, but it is absolutely impossible to live in exchange for some physical pain.
Otherwise, it is true that life is earned but life is wasted.
Seeing that no one was taking the job anymore, Gensheng Ye said with a gloomy expression, "They're all just grasshoppers!"
Wherever there's wind, we pour!
"Shopkeeper, what should we do next?"
Zou Fuquan did not respond, but walked around the room thoughtfully twice and raised his eyelids, " Get me something.”
"The shopkeeper is going to the county government office?" Gensheng asked.
“I’m not going, it’s the county magistrate who is waiting for me to go.” Zou Fuquan sneered.
"After arresting so many people, those people must have confessed your name long ago. The Yamen must also know that these things are all the work of Yueran Restaurant, but the Yamen has not made any move about this. No What are you waiting for me to do?”
“It’s okay to go and ask what Pei Chenghe is thinking. Is his brain caught in the door?”
Dare to go against Yueran Restaurant.
"Yes." Gensheng understood and immediately went to prepare things.
Two brocade boxes were prepared in the evening. One contained a wild ginseng plant of excellent quality, and the other contained a fairly famous painting.
It is enough to send these two things to a county magistrate.
Taking advantage of the starry sky, a small sedan chair Zou Fuquan was riding in landed at the door of the county government house.
After being informed, Zou Fuquan entered the county government house and saw Pei Chenghe sitting upright in the main hall. "County Magistrate Pei." Zou Fuquan cupped his hands and put the things in his hands calmly on the coffee table between the two chairs next to him.
As a white man, Zou Fuquan should kneel down and salute Pei Chenghe, the county magistrate. At this time, he held his hands in front of him, which was really against the rules.
So presumptuous...
Pei Chenghe looked at it, but did not have an attack. He only narrowed his eyes and said, "I wonder what the reason for the visit of shopkeeper Zou is?"
< br>"As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall, I'll get straight to the point." Zou Fuquan said, "Regarding the matter of Yueran Restaurant and Xia Ji, it would be better for Magistrate Pei not to interfere."
< br>
Pei Chenghe laughed and said after a while, "I can't understand what I said."
"In the past few days, I have indeed heard people mention that there are many people in Xia Ji He caused trouble at a food stall and was taken back to the county government office. After entering the prison, and after careful interrogation, it was found that many of these people had committed crimes before. According to the laws of the dynasty, I sent these people to do hard labor."
"Shopkeeper Zou. I'll come to visit you soon. Is this what you're talking about? That officer is very confused. Does Shopkeeper Zou think that I should not handle the case impartially in accordance with the laws of this dynasty?”
“Listen to what Shopkeeper Zou means, regarding Xia Ji’s trouble. , behind it is Yueran Restaurant and Xia Remember, the mastermind behind this is Shopkeeper Zou, aren’t you?”
“If that’s the case, according to the laws of the dynasty, I will have to send Shopkeeper Zou to prison. Please tell me. It’s better to examine it carefully.”
Zou Fuquan, "..."
This sounds wrong, but there seems to be nothing wrong with it if you take a closer look.
But why don’t you play according to the routine!
It’s not time to ask why, then he brought out his master’s identity and shocked him. Then Pei Chenghe felt fear in his heart and sent him out alive, then quickly stopped and stopped talking to Yueran. About the restaurant?
But now Pei Chenghe’s words made him unable to accept them!
Zou Fuquan gritted his teeth and could only open his mouth, "Mr. Pei's words are serious, it's just some minor disputes between business..."
"Small disputes?" Pei Chenghe interrupted Zou Fuquan. He said, "Going to pick quarrels and cause trouble every day can be said to be premeditated and planned, and it is clear that the entire Xia Ji will be put to death."
"Xia Ji is doing business openly and has never interfered with anyone else. , but an innocent person was suddenly affected. Shopkeeper Zou said it was a minor dispute?”
“I can tell you right now that this is not only a minor dispute, but a major incident of extremely bad nature! At a small scale, it is malicious trouble, but at a larger scale, it violates the law and disrupts people's lives. It does not take the laws of the day and the government into consideration, so it must be severely punished."
" Shopkeeper Zou is downplaying it at this time. Is he also planning to despise the law and the yamen and not take this official seriously? "
Such a deep question made Zou Fuquan's heart tighten.
But after a moment to adjust his mentality, Zou Fuquan still composed himself and said, "County Magistrate Pei has not been in Jinqiu County for a long time. He probably doesn't know the family behind our Yueran Restaurant. ..."
"The emperor once said that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people." Pei Chenghe interrupted again and said, "The emperor is already like this, how can there be others. People are more respected than the Nine-Fifth Emperor. Can you not take this into consideration?”
“If it is true, then I really need to see it. No, not only I need to see it. I'm afraid I still need to send a memorial to the higher authorities, so that the magistrate and the current emperor can see it!"
When Zou Fuquan heard this, he immediately frowned.
This Pei Chenghe is really a man who can't get enough of oil and salt!
