Qingshi Town was plagued once a while ago, but now it is gradually recovering, the richest people have moved away, and the current richest man is named Qian Fugui.

This was originally a splashy background, because he had a sister with outstanding appearance who was favored by the current Daliang King Li Liang, and in just a few years, he became a figure with a head and a face in Qingshi Town.

In addition to the factor of his sister, this person who can rise is also a bit of a brain, and when he eats dried radish, he suddenly sees a strong business opportunity.

Later, after some investigation, he found that the dried radish was made by only a mountain village with no foundation, and what made him even more pleased was that this family could actually squeeze soybean oil.

It's all a lucrative good deal!

Qian Fugui moved his mind, he knew that the people in the mountains were grouping, and it might not be useful to kill them directly, so he planned to take advantage of the situation.

There is a way that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and in a mountain village like Changshou Village, in addition to taxes and levies, few people from the general official face come, especially in the winter when the mountain road is difficult to travel, suddenly there are tax collectors and officers and soldiers to visit, which is in response to the sentence: night owls enter the house and have nothing to do!

The manager of Changshou Village is Chen Jiping's second uncle Chen Yuanli, "Official, the autumn tax has already been paid, why do you come here in winter?" ”

A "bad person" with a beard at the head said: "The autumn tax has indeed been paid, but I heard that some of you have run a pickle shop and an oil mill, but you have not registered and paid the commercial tax, so now you will lock up the official!" ”

Chen Yuanli immediately understood the other party's intention, "The official is mistaken, there are no oil mills and pickle shops in the village, but there are more dishes at home, and some vegetables are exchanged with the villagers to eat, and there has been no silver money transaction!" ”

"Hmph, it's useless for you to tell me this, go to the town guard and make it clear!"

The other party was unwilling to reason, Chen Yuanli had no choice, the people were most afraid of seeing officials, and he thought about whether to take some money privately to settle down.

At this time, Chen Jiping rushed over when he heard the news, "Second uncle, can you find out the identities of these people, in case they are fake bandits to blackmail, wouldn't they be in vain!" ”

Chen Yuanli listened to his own San Lang speak, and suddenly had a heart drum, although he was still young, but the monkey disciple was not in vain, and the people in the village had long regarded him as a fairy figure.

"That's right, please show your official credentials!"

Bazihu sneered, and took out the official citation certificate of the bad person, Chen Jiping looked at it and laughed, "We are the people of the Great Sui, you hold the official certificate of the King of Da Liang, isn't it a joke?" ”

"Why, you don't think you belong to the rule of King Da Liang?"

"It's just a rebel and a thief, big brother, take them all!"

Chen Jichang had already gathered the young people of the whole village and rushed up, everyone was counting on the Chen family to get through the difficulties, and there was no one who disobeyed orders.

The eight officials wanted to resist, but Chen Jichang cut down one with a knife, and kicked down the leader's mustache, and the others saw him fierce and quickly fled.

"Don't let one go!"

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and these officials were all caught before they ran a hundred steps.

When people took it, the villagers couldn't help but worry again, after all, the people don't fight with the officials, and this kind of saying has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Chen Jiping dared to make a big move, naturally he knew in his heart, Liu Boqin came to tell him a news last time, Taiyuan Li Yuan rebelled.

The geographical location of Liangzhou is equal to the side of the couch in Taiyuan, how can Li Yuan, the true son of heaven, tolerate Li Rail's troops behind, and Li Rail is confronting Xue Ju, one of the eighteen anti-kings, how can he have spare time to deal with him.

Taking a step back, even if hundreds or thousands of men and horses are dispatched, they only need to ask the Force Shepherd Monarch to cast a trick, and at this time, the heavy snow will close the mountain, as long as the mountain road is choked, there will be no more tragedy of bandits attacking the village.

Of course, he won't say these analyses, and the best way to calm people's hearts is to fake the tiger!

"Don't worry, folks, the monkey has already said that as long as you notify him in advance, the old man will definitely keep us safe!"

"What San Lang said is true, how can he help us when he is pressed under the mountain?" Some people have raised doubts, and the common people are not all easy to fool.

"What's so hard about that? All he had to do was cast a long-range spell to blow those guys away;

Besides, I did it, and the first thing they want to look for will only be me, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone believed that the Chen family had a family and a business in Changshou Village, and if they didn't have a score in their hearts, they would definitely be the first to choose to escape.

The villagers were relieved, and when they went back to their homes, Chen Jiping interrogated the seven people who were captured alive one by one, and the dead one was buried in the mountains.

"What's your name?"

The situation is stronger than people, and Bazihu said very shamelessly: "A certain Ma Xing, Xi is a bad handsome (head catcher) in Qingshi Town." ”

"Come to me for trouble, do you really mean to be guarded?"

"The town guard has been instructed by the Qian officials, and we are also acting on orders!"

"Who is Qian Daguan?"

"Qian Daguan is now the richest man in Qingshi Town, and his sister is the concubine of King Daliang!"

"Tell me everything you know, if it's true, I'll let you go after a while!"

In order to survive, Ma Xing explained what he knew in detail.

Hearing that it was Qian Fugui who coveted the oil mill and the pickle shop, Chen Jiping was much more relieved, if the king of Da Liang took a fancy to the prospects of these two major industries, he would really have to run away with the villagers.

Other people were also interrogated, and they were very cooperative, and they said that the situation was basically the same.

"For the sake of all of you telling the truth, I will punish you as a laborer for half a month, and let you go after you finish working, and if anyone escapes, they will be killed directly!"

"I don't know what Xiao Langjun asked us to do?"

"It's not a hassle, just carrying some rocks!"

Hearing that they were only doing coolies for half a month, the seven of them put away their desire to escape, and according to Chen Jiping's request, they moved the stones to the most dangerous position on the mountain road.

After settling these people, Chen Jiping counted the loot again, since the last windfall, he liked this feeling of windfall.

A total of 90 large coins were found from the eight people, two taels or four pieces of scattered silver, and two silver ingots of five taels, which were the "hard work" given to them by Qian Fugui.

In addition, there are four horizontal knives and four whistle sticks.

Eating alone is not fat, not to mention that in the future, he will have to rely on the young and strong in the village to contribute, so he put away the two silver ingots, and let Chen Dalang give the strength of the young and strong to divide the rest.

The young men who got the money were immediately energetic, and Chen Sanlang's prestige rose a lot, and the task he assigned to set traps and traps on both sides of the mountain road was well carried out.

After winter, Chen Jiping couldn't enter the mountain again after several heavy snowfalls, so he tried to read and write, and accidentally went to the mountain temple to find the god of Li Mu and ask some questions about cultivating the dragon technique.

Ma Xing and others who served hard labor were driven away, and after another half a month, there has been no movement in Qingshi Town, Chen Dalang came back from inquiring about the news, saying that King Daliang and another anti-king Xue Ju were fighting in Wuwei, and it is estimated that there is no time to take care of such a trivial matter for the time being, and Qian Fugui is afraid of retaliation, so he has already gone to Liangzhou!
