Chapter 222 The disease must be treated
During this period, the people who tried their best to stop the people he sent were also Wu Xiong's men.
But a local ruffian has absolutely no ability to let the county magistrate follow his lead.
The rest is Sifang Gambling House.
The actual owner behind Sifang Gambling House is Ji Jiasanlang and Ji Jingjie.
Ji Jingjie was the magistrate of Yunzhou, a fifth-rank official, but his father served in the Zhongshu Province in Beijing. The power of the Ji family should not be underestimated, and was no worse than that of the Zhao family.
No wonder Pei Chenghe dares to be so confident.
But don’t forget, behind the Zhao family is the Wen family!
Zou Fuquan gritted his teeth, and after a moment of hesitation, he took advantage of the darkness and headed to Sifang Gambling House.
Shopkeeper Ge is on the second floor. He has a bamboo rocking chair with a whole fox fur cushion on it, drinking tea with his feet up, very leisurely.
When he learned that Zou Fuquan was coming, Shopkeeper Ge greeted him with a smile on his face and said, "Shopkeeper Zou, what brought you here? Are you planning to have a good time?"
The New Year is approaching. Businessmen who have been working hard for a whole year are tired from the wind and rain and tired day after day. Many people are willing to play such an exciting game with accelerated heartbeats.
If you can win, have a happy New Year.
If you lose, such a tense and exciting process will fully stir up every nerve in your body, as if awakening the dead tree that has been sleeping for many years, making it determined to take root and sprout, and bear more fruits in the coming year. .
So, as soon as the gambling house entered the twelfth lunar month, business was very good and there were many familiar faces.
Shopkeeper Ge naturally took Zou Fuquan's purpose for granted.
"I want to play two games, but shopkeeper Ge's hand is a little too long, which makes it difficult for me to place a bet." Zou Fuquan said.
Full of yin and yang.
Shopkeeper Ge squinted his eyes and saw that his face was gloomy and his eyes were like spitting fire. He immediately knew that the other party was coming with bad intentions, but he still had a smile on his face and raised his hand, "It's cold in winter, Charcoal Keeping the heater in your hands will inevitably cause you to get angry. I just got some good green tea here. I’d like to ask Shopkeeper Zou to have a drink to get rid of the anger.”
This is obviously going to be discussed in detail.
Zou Fuquan snorted coldly and followed Shopkeeper Ge into a house.
The waiter at the gambling house quickly brought the tea and closed the door very wisely.
There were only two people left in the room, Shopkeeper Ge and Zou Fuquan.
Shopkeeper Ge poured a cup of tea for Zou Fuquan himself as a landlord, and said in a neither salty nor salty tone, "Shopkeeper Zou, you might as well say it directly if you have something to do."
"Shopkeeper Ge, this is the matter. You know it all, so you don’t need to say anything more." Zou Fuquan sat on the stool without even looking at the teacup.
Such an arrogant attitude made Shopkeeper Ge's expression turn cold.
He could guess the purpose of Zou Fuquan's visit this time.
It was simply because Yueran Restaurant was deliberately targeting Xia Ji, so Wu Xiong and his people came forward to do something.
Although shopkeeper Ge didn't want to get involved in too many fights about this kind of thing, he turned a blind eye to what Wu Xiong did and ignored it.
After all, in his opinion, there is no need to target Yueran Restaurant this time.
This is a business that does not interfere with the water of the well, but Yueran Restaurant relies on the fact that there is someone behind it to do whatever it wants, which really seems to be a bit cowardly.
And the food that Xia Ji cooks is really good, especially the newly made braised meat and braised vegetables, which are much more delicious than those in Zhoucheng, and Mrs. Xia is also a virtuous, hard-working and well-behaved person. Shang was also very discerning and often sent food here, and he also ate a lot.
This man-eater has a short mouth, so Shopkeeper Ge naturally wants to win over Madam Xia.
He originally thought that when Zou Fuquan saw this situation and knew about his attitude, coupled with the interference of the county government, he would think twice and stop doing such inappropriate things, and the matter would be over. After that, from now on, just pretend that this never happened and just continue to go about their respective businesses. But now, Zou Fuquan came to question him, angry and acting like a superior.
It makes people uncomfortable.
Both of them have masters behind them, and their masters also come from well-off families. Both of them are big shopkeepers who work for people and manage their properties. Who is nobler than the other?
Go to him and show off your power...
Shopkeeper Ge lowered his eyes and sneered, "Please forgive me for not understanding this."
Pretending to be deaf. Being dumb?
It seems that the things behind this are indeed done by Shopkeeper Ge.
Zou Fuquan was even more angry, "Since Shopkeeper Ge has such an attitude, I have nothing to say, so I'll say goodbye!"
"I won't send it away." Shopkeeper Ge picked up the hand. He took out the tea cup and drank tea by himself without even looking at Zou Fuquan.
Zou Fuquan snorted coldly and walked away.
Let’s see!
It wasn't until he heard the waiter downstairs sending Zou Fuquan out that shopkeeper Ge put down the teacup in his hand and ordered someone to call Wu Xiong up.
"The shopkeeper." Wu Xiong felt a little uneasy when he saw that his shopkeeper came to look for Zou Fuquan after meeting him. "You called me?"
"Sit down." Shopkeeper Ge raised his hand. .
Seeing his gentle attitude, Wu Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on a bench nearby.
"How are things going outside?" Shopkeeper Ge asked.
Wu Xiong understood what he was asking and answered truthfully, "I just heard from people below that shopkeeper Zou first went to the Yamen, and then the Yamen arrested Gensheng of Yueran Restaurant."
I see.
The Yamen was so disrespectful, no wonder Zou Fuquan came to him in anger.
Perhaps you think the reason why the Yamen is so tough is because he works hard behind his back?
Tsk, it feels like everyone in the world wants to harm him...
It’s a disease and it needs to be cured!
However, the Yamen was really very effective in this matter. It was so fair, even so fair that it favored Xia Ji, which was somewhat abnormal.
Maybe...
Shopkeeper Ge's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at Wu Xiong, "As soon as the Yamen takes action, Zou Fuquan will probably be able to calm down for a few days. As the New Year is approaching, the gambling house incident "Yes, you should keep an eye on this place to prevent any trouble."
"Yes." Wu Xiong responded, his eyes dark and unclear.
"The salted duck you brought back this afternoon tastes good. It's light, delicious and not greasy. It's perfect for wine and food. Tomorrow you can go to Xia Ji Braised Pork Shop and buy some."
Shopkeeper Ge said , "Yes, there is also that saliva chicken, let's have some too."
The saliva chicken has a bit of sour and sweet taste, which is more in line with his taste than the traditional braised chicken.
“Yes!” Wu Xiong agreed again, his eyes shining brightly.
The shopkeeper is still thinking about Xia Ji.
Then he knows how to do things!
The news about the Yamen sending people to Yueran Restaurant to arrest Gensheng spread like a gust of wind on the second day to every corner of the streets and alleys of Jinqiu County, becoming a popular after-dinner meal. chat.
“Tell me, why was Gensheng of Yueran Restaurant arrested? What did he do?”
“I don’t even know, that Gensheng hired some gangsters. You scoundrels are going to cause trouble at various food stalls in Xia Ji!”
