Chapter Fifty-Three: Zhang Sanfeng

When Zhao Shun and the others arrived at the back office of the state capital, Du Yi went out to greet them, with a spring-like smile on his face, which made the three of them a little confused!

The four people at the wine table exchanged glasses. After three rounds of drinking, all three of them were a little dizzy from Du Yi's drinking. However, they all still had some sense, so they spoke more carefully, for fear of saying the wrong thing and giving Du Yi an excuse!

How could Du Yi not know the little thoughts of these people and not point it out? He looked at Zhao Shun and the others with a smile and said: "Master Zhao, if you have time that day, go and see how Master Zhao is training, and also see the soldiers of our Changming Mansion.

How can we survive under the leadership of Mr. Zhao!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say, you can just let me know when you have time and you will be dismissed!"

"Okay, we've made an agreement!"

Zhao Shun drank a lot, and when he heard what Du Yi said, he thought it was a compliment to him, which made him feel a little carried away. He subconsciously said the words of agreement, but after he said it, when he thought about it carefully, he felt something was wrong and it was harmful.

If you say it, you can't change it, so you have to lower your head and drink wine!

After having a good meal and wine, he served tea to see the guests off. Looking at the three people's retreating figures, Du Yi sneered at the corner of his mouth and turned around to walk towards the courtyard!

Early the next morning, Zhao Shunyue felt that the matter was not simple and could not sit still. He hurriedly made an appointment with the other two people to discuss and think about countermeasures.

"Brothers, what do you mean by this little doll? I always feel something is wrong. This doll seems too enthusiastic!"

"What do you mean, Zhao Shun, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? If you show your courtesy for nothing, you will commit adultery or steal. Don't you understand this?" Min Qiang sneered in his heart, but on his lips he said: "Mr. Zhao

, it’s hard to say, whether you think it’s good or bad!”

Obviously Min Qiang wanted to whet Zhao Shun's appetite, while Cao Kuo just smiled and just drank the tea from the cup!

Zhao Shun knew that the two of them were playing official tricks, but he didn't care. After all, the three of them were grasshoppers on the same line and no one could escape. The worst could happen. They must not be fools, but of course they didn't have the courage!

"Let's talk about it first!"

"Well, the agreement is that our Lord Wang values ​​you more, maybe there is something good about it!"

Zhao Shun was overjoyed and said quickly: "Master Min, what is the basis for this?"

"Haha, Zhao Shun, I said you are usually quite smart, but you can't see that Lord Wang wants to do something. Bandits are rampant in the surrounding area. Think about it, who can Wang Qiliang rely on, except you?

Can Mr. Zhao, who holds military power, still find the best candidate? As long as the court suppresses the bandits, the silver will fall like snowflakes. Isn't this a fat job?"

Zhao Shun was a little clever, and after thinking about it, this was indeed the case, but when he heard Min Qiang say there was bad news, he hurriedly said: "Master Min, what about the bad news!"

"Haha, the bad news is not good. Mr. Wang wants to operate on you, get rid of you, and then support someone to join the army. This martial arts performance is just to test your true and false status!"

Zhao Shun curled his lips slightly and said: "Hmph, who can take my place in the army? It's not that I underestimate that little kid and wants me to kick him out. That's just a fool's dream!"

Min Qiang and Cao Kuo also thought so, but neither of them said anything. After all, they had been in the army for several years and had a deep foundation in the army. It didn't mean that Wang Qiliang could pull out if he wanted to.

There was more than one unlucky person in the mutiny. He, Wang Qiliang, was also walking around in a hurry. Both of them thought that Du Yi was going to eliminate the banditry, hence the scene yesterday!

Three days later, the Yamen of the Prefecture was completely new. There was a major renovation inside and outside the Prefecture, which was quite meant to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new!

When the people of the prefecture saw the yamen behave like this, they would also know that there were new officials in the yamen of the prefecture. Many of them had good connections. They learned that Du Yi was the magistrate of Shangyuan County. Who didn’t know what Shangyuan County was like?

Ah, that is an earth-shaking change. It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone has food to eat and clothing to wear. The people are vaguely looking forward to the changes in the state capital!

At this moment, the sound of drumming came from outside the door. It was so chaotic that Du Yi frowned slightly, but then unfolded it!

"Ascending to the Hall!"

"mighty,"

Du Yi had just put on his official uniform and was sitting in the lobby with great momentum. However, after waiting for a while, no one came in. This made Du Yi a little curious. He released his mind power and was speechless after seeing it!

At this moment, outside the government office, two government officials all fell on a beggar who was covered in mess, and the beggar had a look of pain on his face!

"Bring those outside the door up!"

The two government officials left and trotted out. In less than half a cup of tea, the two government officials took the beggar into custody, followed by two government officials guarding the door!

"Who are you and what grievances do you have? I will make the decision for you!"

I have been familiar with this for a long time, and after working as a county magistrate for three years, I have mastered this attitude very well!

"Sir, the villain has a grievance. The adults make the decision for the villain!"

"You can tell me any grievances you have. If it's true, I'll make the decision for you!"

Speaking of which, this beggar still has some reputation. He was originally a well-known good man in Changming Mansion. His name was Zhang Haogu. He had been doing business for generations and often gave out rice and porridge. People nearby asked Zhang Haogu for help if they had any problems. Zhang Haogu also agreed one by one and was able to help.

I will never stand idly by!

But three years ago, the Zhang family's property was hit by several shops, which was nothing more than that. What was even more infuriating was that these shops colluded with gangsters to often come to the shops to cause trouble, and even eventually colluded with foreign gangsters to loot the Zhang Mansion. The Zhang family and their subordinates

More than 170 people were massacred in this way. Only Zhang Haogu and two servants went out to a banquet and escaped!

Zhang Haogu rushed home after hearing the news. The Zhang family mansion was engulfed in fire. No one in the Zhang family escaped. Looking at the messy Zhang family house, Zhang Haogu suddenly fainted!

Afterwards, Zhang Haogu went crazy every day. When he woke up, he would remain silent or beat drums to express his grievances. The people around him remembered their past kindness and would give Zhang Haogu some food and relief when they met him!

Today, Zhang Haogu woke up and saw that the state government office was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. He immediately came to the state government office to complain. The two government officials who guarded the gate knew Zhang Haogu very well and had complained several times in the past three years, but nothing happened.

To embarrass Zhang Haogu, I just want to blast him out!

After knowing the whole thing, Du Yi sighed slightly in his heart. It is not easy for good people to report disaster and live for thousands of years!

"Place Zhang Haogu in the Yamen of the state capital and send someone to take care of him!"

The chief clerk on the side responded immediately!

Zhang Haogu took on three cases in the morning. Except for Zhang Haogu's case, the other two cases were trivial, and Du Yi couldn't even begin to deal with them for a while!

Du Yike was very busy in the following time. Evidence needed to be collected for Zhang Haogu's case, and several shops in the state capital appeared in front of Du Yi's eyes!

The four shops are Zheng Ji Grain Shop, Xu Ji Salt Shop, Zhang Ji Buzhuang, and Zhao Ji Blacksmith Shop!

Zhengji Grain Shop is the shop of Min Qiang's nephew, Xuji Salt Shop is the property of Cao Kuo's brother-in-law, and Buzhuang and Tiepu are owned by Zhao Shun. Speaking of which, Zhang Haogu's case is somehow related to these three people, even if it is not

The direct relationship must have been done by someone close to the three of them!

From another perspective, the three people and the forces behind them have divided up the interests in Changming Mansion. Take Zhengji Food Company as an example. Everyone needs to eat. There are more than 600,000 people in Changming Mansion. So,

The benefits can definitely be said to be huge. According to the size of Zheng Ji’s grain store at this time, making 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver a year is simply child’s play. But if Min Qiang is not involved, no one would believe that Zheng Ji is so capable.

!

And the profits of salt shops are not small. All counties under the rule use the state salt, so there is more water in it. The price of private salt and official salt is much different. A pound of official salt costs 30

Wen, a pound of private salt only costs ten Wen, and the net profit is twenty Wen. Even if the counties under Changming Mansion take half of the private salt, then the net profit for a year will definitely be around 80,000 taels of silver!

These two companies are considered childish. The largest share belongs to Zhao Shun. Buzhuang Iron Shop is definitely Zhao Shun's rival. Five thousand soldiers change their uniforms twice a year. The high profits will definitely make ordinary people's jaws drop. And
Chapter completed!
