With Cui Wendong's disgusting appearance, Zhang Heming felt that he would be beaten sooner or later, but he did not expect that the beating would come quite quickly.
Comfortable!
Zhang Heming was full of joy, but his face did not reveal anything. Instead, he was filled with sorrow and sorrow, "What's wrong with Mr. Cui? What happened?"
"Since the guest came last night, Returning home from Xiang Restaurant, when passing through the alley, he was "It was caused by a thief's attack."
Cui Wendong said angrily, "Is there a thief in this world who is so bold that he dares to beat me? Magistrate Zhang must do his best to capture that thief and put him to death!" ”
Zhang Heming heard this and touched his nose.
According to the laws of the dynasty, if someone beats another person and causes injury, he must compensate the other person for medical expenses and losses. In addition, the government will order forty big boards and a fine of twenty taels of silver. If the case is serious, he will be fined with hard labor for half a year. It ranges from two years.
Lingchi was executed...
Tsk, how dare you say that.
Seeing that Zhang Heming did not respond, Cui Wendong was immediately displeased, "Zhang Zhifu thinks this matter is not a big deal? Humph, in this majestic Changzhou Fucheng, in this bright world, there is actually an incident of beating others on the street. I really don't know that Zhang How does a magistrate act as an official and how does he govern a place? ”
"I have suffered such a big crime this time, and Magistrate Zhang didn't pay any attention to it. It shows that Magistrate Zhang must be lazy and lazy in politics and not do anything serious! It seems that I need to write a letter to my father at home to explain this matter! "
"By then, Magistrate Zhang will probably know what to do!" Cui Wendong shouted angrily and glared at Zhang Heming.
Zhang Heming smiled when he saw this.
Is this threatening him?
Do you really think that he, the magistrate of Cheung Chau Fucheng, was in vain?
Let's not talk about the dignified prefect and the fourth-rank official. Just Changzhou City, which has just been calmed down and was in chaos, can be managed by him. I haven't thought about the reason?
You Cui Wendong is nothing more than the bastard of the Cui family. You act so arrogantly and domineeringly outside. It shows that the tutor of the Cui family is not on the stage and has already gone downhill.
Zhang Heming glanced at Cui Wendong and said quietly, "Master Cui, everything must be evidenced. Master Cui said that he was beaten. What evidence is there and how to prove it?"
Cui Wendong I didn't expect Zhang Heming to say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment and replied subconsciously, "I have wounds all over my body. How can Magistrate Zhang ask me to prove it? Does it mean that Magistrate Zhang thinks that the scars all over my body are fake?"
“This injury is indeed not a fake, but Mr. Cui keeps saying that this injury was caused by being beaten. Is there any proof?”
Zhang Heming said, "If Mr. Cui just had a dispute with his own family members and got injured in each other's fights. He couldn't be held accountable but was angry in his heart, so he came to my government office and told lies and caused a lot of trouble for our Changzhou government office. You are trying to slander me, the magistrate."
"I would like to ask Mr. Cui what he means and what he wants. Mr. Cui just said that he wanted to write a letter to the head of the Cui family. , just right The official also has this idea. Regardless of whether Mr. Cui will write back, I will definitely write to the Cui family to ask how the Cui family disciplines their children, so that the Cui family will slander the imperial officials outside!"
Zhang Heming was naturally tall and dignified. He usually looked amiable because he always had a smile on his face. But now his face was full of anger, making him look even more serious and intimidating.
Cui Wendong couldn't help but shrink his neck.
The Cui family now supports the second prince. In order to win over the forces in the court, they often care about their reputation, especially their reputation in the court. If the ignorant Zhang Heming talks nonsense in the letter, I am afraid that even if If you tell the truth, your father will be displeased.
Then the status he finally gained in front of his father would be lost because of this.
This made Cui Wendong a little worried, and the previous arrogance suddenly dissipated.
Cui Wendong didn't want to argue with Zhang Heming anymore and wanted to leave, but he felt a little embarrassed, so he just said "Let's see!" and left in a hurry. Seeing Cui Wendong running away, Zhang Heming snorted coldly and spat on the ground.
You bastard thing, you really treat yourself like a dish!
A pig sticks two green onions in its nose and thinks it is an elephant?
You deserve to be beaten like this!
Zhang Heming cursed for a while, but still felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger. He simply raised his hand and called the people below to come over and explained in a low voice.
The young man frowned when he heard this, "Are you really going to do this? If this matter spreads out, will others think that you are... too gangster?"
"I He is not a good person at all!" Zhang Heming disagreed and said, "Do it more often!"
This is enough to relieve your anger!
When the young man saw his master speaking, he stopped talking and just followed the instructions and left the back corner door of the government office.
After Cui Wendong left the government office cursing, he walked all the way to Qinglian Villa.
Before reaching the door, the carriage was stopped by a group of people.
Those people covered their faces with black scarves and their hands and feet were very nimble. After stopping the carriage, they grabbed Cui Wendong from the carriage with lightning speed and pressed him to the ground...
< br>
Under the blue sky and the bright sun, Cui Wendong was once again covered in bruises.
——
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mooncake selling business ends.
The business of Yipinguo and Xiaji is as usual, and it is basically on the right track.
Xia Mingyue and Manager Fu discussed the current status of all Xia Ji's businesses, worked out solutions to various shortcomings, and then made corresponding adjustments.
After two busy days, Xia Mingyue received three loads of fruit.
The fruits were delivered by Guo Kanglai from the orchard. They are all freshly picked apples, autumn peaches, pears, autumn grapes, pomegranates, etc.
The car is fully loaded with a large quantity, and each fruit is carefully selected by Guo Kanglai and is of excellent quality.
The apples are sweet and sour, the autumn peaches are crisp, the pear is juicy and has no residue, the autumn grapes are huge and have thin skin...
After Xia Mingyue tasted them one by one, she felt that they tasted great. He couldn't stop praising, "These fruits are extremely delicious. Manager Guo has taken the trouble."
"It's all as it should be." Guo Kanglai said modestly, but thinking of the fruit harvest this autumn and the good overall income of the orchard, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, so he only reported the accounting status during this period to Xia Mingyue.
“In addition to the income from selling fruits, we also received a lot of money from entertaining guests, selling lotus roots, chickens, ducks, goose, fish, etc. After a rough calculation, we can earn nearly two hundred taels of silver this year!”
Two hundred taels of silver, although compared to Bixia Ji's other businesses, is nothing, but compared to the principal when purchasing the orchard, this return rate is already extremely good.
And a fixed asset like an orchard is far more long-term than opening a food shop day by day.
In short, this orchard investment is very suitable, and you won’t lose money after buying it!
Xia Mingyue was happy and did not forget to give credit to Guo Kanglai and the other guys. (End of this chapter)
