Chapter 25 Li Wan asks for debts
Li Jing saw Li Wan running away, and said with a smile: "I blushed, it seems that there is a play, I have to find a chance to meet this future son-in-law." ”
When he entered the backyard, he found two wine bottles on the table, which were the flower water that Li Wan casually put on the table.
"Why does this bottle look so much like an alcohol bottle, isn't it?"
He opened it curiously to take a look, and the fragrance of flower dew water made Li Jing feel relaxed and happy. His heart was surprised and delighted: "Good thing, really good thing, this thing has the effect of refreshing the mind, it's incredible." ”
Without shame, he confiscated the two bottles of toilet water, put them in his study, and then read in the study, tired and smelled the smell.
Li Wan didn't know that her father, who was a general, had embezzled two bottles of toilet water from her.
Take the maid and the family to the Li tavern.
She looked at the devastated tavern and arranged for the maids to stay and clean it, while she took the family to Cui's tavern.
Steward Cui got 10,000 yuan from the Li family, and went to the county order with joy. The original county commander Lin Jian has been dismissed, and the new county commander is a member of the Cui family, called Cui Yu, the second son of Cui Jinhua, the person in charge of Chang'an.
The reason why Cui Yu was able to become this county commander was also because of the food problem this time, when the imperial court was short of food, Wei Zheng found Cui's family.
Cui Jinhua, who originally did not plan to agree to donate grain, learned that Lin Jian was masturbated by the imperial court, so he asked his son Cui Yu to donate food to the imperial court.
There is also a small requirement, that is, this grain cannot be donated to the imperial court in the name of the Cui family, but donated for Cui Yu's personal reasons.
At that time, Wei Zheng had no other choice, and after adding that Cui Yu was indeed young and promising, he agreed.
Cui Yu is also happy that he can be a county commander, it turns out that he has been a county magistrate under Lin Jian, and now he can finally be a county magistrate, a six-grade official, it is not small, plus there are still many people from the Cui family in the court, and it is not too difficult for him to take another step.
Today, Steward Cui came to the door, which made him a little happy, and finally someone asked him for help, or his own family.
"Yu'er, Uncle Cousin has something to ask you to help with." Steward Cui said things directly, and his family was polite.
Cui Yu said with a smile: "Uncle Cousin, if there is anything to say, as long as I can do what the county order can do, it will definitely be done." ”
"Thank you very much." Cui Guan thanked him in advance, and then said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, there is a kid who tricked us into signing a contract with the winery, that is, we have to deliver wine every day within a certain period of time, otherwise we will compensate the other party ten times the amount." ”
"It seems to be very reasonable, there is nothing to deceive." Cui Yu said.
Steward Cui smiled: "If we knew from the beginning that if we didn't sell alcohol to the other party, we would pay ten times the amount, that would be a fraud, but we don't know, does that constitute fraud?" ”
Cui Yu immediately understood that this Cui steward planned to be ignorant and accuse the other party of the crime of deliberate deception.
He thought for a moment and said, "Cheng, as long as Uncle Cousin insists that the other party has not informed you of the situation in advance, I will order someone to arrest him now." ”
"Then thank you Yu'er, no, it's the county master."
"Uncle Cousin is polite, I don't know who you want me to arrest?"
"Pingkangfang, Li Feng, the owner of Li's Tavern."
Cui Yu frowned slightly, he felt that this name was very familiar, he must have heard this name, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, forget it, no matter.
"Uncle Don't worry, I'll order him to be arrested now."
Cui Yu picked up the token and said in a deep voice: "Hou Linke." ”
A man dressed in a headhunter came running in a hurry.
"My lord, are you looking for a lowly position?"
Cui Yu nodded, handed him the token, and said, "Go, arrest Li Feng, the owner of the Li Brewery in Pingkangfang." ”
"Yes, let's go now."
Hou Lin then turned around and was about to gather his subordinates to arrest people, but before he could walk out of the door, he turned around and looked at Cui Yu with a shocked expression.
Cui Yu frowned slightly, and asked very dislikely, "Hou Lin, what are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you arrest someone? ”
Hou Lin asked resignedly: "Great, lord, who did you just say you want to arrest?" ”
Steward Cui, who was beside Cui Yu, said impatiently: "Li Feng, the owner of the Li Tavern in Pingkangfang, what's the matter, Hou Zhutou doesn't know him?" ”
"Huh?" Cui Yu looked at Hou Lin.
Hou Lin hurriedly explained: "I know, it was Lin County Commander who took the lowly rank and others to arrest Li Feng once, but we returned in vain. Adults must have heard about it. ”
"No wonder it's so familiar, it turned out to be him, and it all depends on him that Lin Jian will be dismissed, and the official should thank him." Cui Yu suddenly realized.
Steward Cui hurriedly said, "What do you mean that this person can't be caught?" ”
"That's no, it's just that this person's background is a little strange, why would that Tang Jian help him out. We're going to investigate. ”
"I know that."
"Oh, Uncle Cousin knows?" Cui Yu was a little surprised, and then suddenly realized that his cousin must have investigated Li Feng.
Steward Cui nodded and said, "I investigated him, and he used the name of the Li clan in Longxi to buy a large amount of grain from Wang Yuan of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce.
After Tang Jian learned about this, he wanted to buy this batch of grain, and it just so happened that Wang Yuan and Lin Jian arrested Li Feng.
Tang Jian saved Li Feng with the attitude of a benefactor at this time, and Li Feng sold all the grain to the imperial court, and what is more interesting is that Li Feng did not earn a penny from the imperial court, but pit 200,000 yuan from Lin Jian and Wang Yuan.
Sometimes, I have to admire this kid, his ability to make money is really good, not only selling the court well, but also making a lot of money. ”
Cui Yu nodded and said, "Yes, it's a talent." Such a talent should follow Cui's family, how can he be left behind? ”
"Yu'er, he is a villain, and he offended Cheng Yanjin, Yu Chigong and Niu Jinda. Our Cui family accepted him, which is equivalent to offending these three people, which is not a good thing for our Cui family. Steward Cui hurriedly said.
At this time, he already knew what the Li family was thinking, that is, he wanted to learn from Tang Jian, and after Li Feng was arrested, they came forward to save Li Feng, and then became the servants of the Li family.
At the same time, he hated the Li family so much, he actually played tricks in front of him, but he received 10,000 yuan from the other party, and if he didn't do this well, he knew what consequences he would face.
As soon as he heard that Li Feng had offended the annoying Cheng Biting Jin, Cui Yu instantly lost interest in Li Feng and said, "Hou Lin, arrest Li Feng and bring him to justice." ”
"Oh no, no." Suddenly, a subordinate dressed in Cui's Distillery rushed in.
Cui Yu, Steward Cui, and Hou Lin all frowned.
Steward Cui immediately walked up to him and said angrily: "The yamen is heavy, what kind of system is it that is noisy." ”
The subordinate calmed down and shouted at Cui Yu Second Young Master.
Cui Yu nodded and said, "What's so panicked?" ”
The subordinate immediately said respectfully: "Back to the second young master, something happened in the wine shop, and Miss Wan'er from the Marshal's Mansion made a big fuss about our wine shop." ”
"What's going on?" Cui Yu stood up, this is a female overlord, the emperor is very favored, and she has a lot of prestige in the army, so she can't be easily offended.
"She came to ask for debts, for Li Feng of the Li Tavern, saying that we destroyed their tavern and tore up the contract in private, so she asked us to compensate 3,000 yuan."
"Just her, why?" Steward Cui shouted.
Cui Yu's face turned gloomy, and he said, "Uncle Cousin, you can handle this matter, as for the arrest of Li Feng, we will talk about it when you finish dealing with it." ”
"Okay, I'll deal with it." Steward Cui wiped the sweat from his forehead, and after speaking, he left the county office with his subordinates.
Cui Yu was not idle, and sent someone to inform him of Lao Tzu, who is also the head of the branch of the Qinghe Cui clan in Chang'an, Cui Jinhua.
……
In Cui's brewing workshop, Li Wan led more than a dozen family members to prevent people from entering and leaving, and only asked one of the subordinates to find someone who could call the shots.
Li Wan was still very concerned about Li Feng's task, and planned to take down the big head first that day, and when the time came, she could also buy a little more alcohol.
Li Wan didn't do anything to the employees of Cui's Distillery, only those who were not convinced, he let people directly break their hands and feet, and everyone else was just being guarded.
After waiting for almost half an hour, Li Wan, who had always felt bored, saw someone coming and immediately walked over.
"You're the one who smashed Lee's Tavern?" Li Wan looked at the visitor and asked.
Steward Cui didn't answer and asked, "I don't know what you're talking about outside the girl's door, and why did you come to my wine shop to make trouble?" ”
"Don't admit it? Hum. Li Wan sneered, "Bring it up." ”
Cui Xiaoer was brought up.
"Uncle Cousin, save me, save me." When Cui Xiaoer saw Steward Cui, he seemed to see a savior, and immediately asked for help.
"You, shut up." Steward Cui immediately stopped Cui Xiaoer, idiot, really stupid, if he knew it, let him get out.
Li Wan sneered, "You two shut up for me." Give the money, and after giving the money, I will leave, otherwise I will bear the consequences. ”
"Miss Li, this is my Cui's Wine Shop and Li's Tavern, please don't get involved." Steward Cui said tactfully.
"It's too late, Miss Ben has promised him that he must get 3,000 yuan in compensation, otherwise Cui's Wine House will disappear in Chang'an from today on."
"Who, so crazy, dare to say that Cui's Distillery will disappear?" A heavy voice rang out.
Steward Cui and the others were taken aback, and saluted to the visitor: "I've seen the head of the house." ”
The person who came was the head of the Qinghe Cui branch in Chang'an, Cui Jinhua.
He is not only the head of the Cui family branch, but also an official of the court, and there are many forces in the court, and most people will give him some face, at least the current Li Jing is better to provoke less.
Even if Tang Jian appears, he has to give him some face, and everyone keeps a good face.
Of course, Li Wan also knew Cui Jinhua, and arched her hand at him: "I've seen Master Cui." ”
Cui Jinren looked at Li Wan and said with a gloomy face: "General Li Bijiang, you have such a great ability, you actually led the crowd to break into other people's industries, and the old man will definitely join you tomorrow." ”
