Chang'an County Commander is called Jiang Yinong, originally Chencang County Cheng, who performed well during his tenure and did a lot of practical things for the people, and was promoted to Chang'an County Commander last year.

Chang'an County Order is not good, especially easy to offend people, but Jiang Yinong is lucky, he basically did not encounter the situation of the powerful making trouble in the first year of his tenure, but he was very busy, the two major business districts of Xishi and Xi'anmen Street are in his jurisdiction, and businessmen come to complain every three or five times, many of which are trivial things, which make him very troubled.

This afternoon, he received another report, Guo Ping, the owner of Meishou Wine, came to report the case, saying that someone was imitating Meishou Wine, and sent two fake bottles.

Meishou wine is the first wine in the world, but it is not an ordinary small businessman, the proprietor Guo Ping's report Jiang County Order accepted, he immediately handed over the case to the staff as a record for trial, there are more than a dozen cases under his hands, and this case will have to be tried next month no matter how soon it is.

At this time, there was a servant outside the door to report, the internal guard Meng Zhao came, Jiang Yinong hurriedly asked Meng Zhao to come in, the two of them are fellow villagers, and they are fellow scholars, and the relationship between the two is very good.

"Brother Meng didn't say that he was too busy with the imperial examination, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to go back to his home, how could he come to me?" Jiang Yinong smiled and stepped forward.

"I was afraid that you would do something stupid, so I came here to take a look." Meng Zhao said with a calm face.

Jiang Yinong was stunned, "What stupid thing to do?" ”

"This afternoon, our Commander of the Internal Security King received a case, and he personally led someone to investigate the case, I heard from the Commander that the subject also reported the case to you, and I am afraid that you will not take it seriously."

"I still don't quite understand what Brother Meng means." Jiang Yinong frowned slightly.

Meng Zhao glanced at him and asked, "Did Meishou Liquor Store come to report the case in the afternoon?" ”

"Yes! I came to report the crime an hour. ”

"Have you started the trial then?"

"Not yet, there are too many things on hand, it may take a few days."

Meng Zhao sneered and said: "But my Commander Wang is also too busy to touch the ground, but as soon as he received this case, he immediately pushed everything away, and then personally led people to investigate, you must know that Commander Wang has not personally investigated the case for almost two years." ”

Jiang Yinong finally understood, and he asked a little nervously: "Is the background of Meishou Wine Shop very big?" ”

Meng Zhao pointed at him and said, "Your county order is still unqualified, don't you know that the Meishou Wine Shop is related to His Royal Highness the King of Jin?" This wine shop was founded by King Jin back then, and the three words of Meishou wine were the handwriting of Emperor Daizong. ”

Jiang Yinong was startled, and hurriedly took out the paper from it, and he looked at the payment below, "Woman Guo Ping." ’

"The proprietor of the Meishou wine shop is called Guo Ping, is she a relative of His Royal Highness the King of Jin?"

Meng Zhao sighed and said: "Actually, I don't know what the relationship is, but when Commander Wang sees her, he will respectfully call Aunt Guo, I guess she is a close relative." ”

Jiang Yinong wiped a handful of cold sweat on his forehead, "That Guo Dongzhu looks very ordinary, his dress is not satin, the jewelry he wears is also copper, his skin is so rough, he looks like a peasant woman, but he is very shrewd, and he repeatedly asked me when I would start the trial." ”

Meng Zhao shook his head, "It's unusual for you to say this, don't you think it's strange that the proprietor of the dignified Meishou wine wears sackcloth and copper hairpins?" Forget it, I don't want to say more, you can do it yourself! ”

Meng Zhao arched his hand, and then took his leave and left.

Jiang Yinong stayed for a moment, and hurriedly called his confidant Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng had already heard the conversation between the two, and he hurriedly said: "County Jun, Meng Yuanjun's reminder is right, I don't feel that woman is an ordinary person, although she looks like a peasant woman, she is not afraid at all, she talks very calmly, and calls you Jiang County Order directly, I was still a little angry at the time, and I was not afraid to see the official, now I understand, how can the proprietor who holds the first wine in the world be a peasant woman?" People are low-key, let's not look away. ”

Jiang Yinong was a little anxious and said: "I know, now the key is what should we do?" ”

"Since she reported the case, the county gentleman will take people directly to the Meishou wine shop in the West Market! I took a look at the paper, and there were actually 300 fake wine bottles in it, and I felt that there were ghosts in it, and the person who collected the bottles should be very suspicious. ”

The staff of these county orders have handled a large number of cases, and they are all human spirits, and they can grasp the main point by reading the paper, and they can collect thirty fake wine bottles, which is a bit reluctant to say negligence, not to mention three hundred fake wine bottles.

"Good! Call Wang Zhutou, let's go to the West Market to handle the case! ”

..........

Jiang County Ling came to the Meishou Liquor Store in Xishi, and the shopkeeper Liu hurriedly came out to greet him, "Welcome to the small shop." ”

Jiang Xian Ling nodded and said, "Your proprietor came to the county office this afternoon to report the case, saying that someone is making fake Meishou wine, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Qiyu County Jun, we don't know if there is fake wine, but a large number of fake wine bottles have appeared, which is the precursor of fake wine."

"Where's the fake bottle?"

"Please come with me!"

Shopkeeper Liu took the group to the backyard, only to see a large table in the backyard densely filled with wine bottles, and several bamboo baskets on the ground were also full.

"These are fake bottles, which popped up three days ago and we received three hundred."

Jiang Xian Ling looked at the wine bottle carefully and said, "The quality of this wine bottle is very good!" ”

"The quality of this wine bottle is really good, it looks exactly the same as our wine bottle, and the quality is comparable, but this bottle can only hold thirteen taels of wine, and our wine bottle just holds one catty, which is less than three taels, if this bottle spreads, our reputation will be ruined."

"I see!"

Jiang Xian Ling nodded, this trick is indeed very poisonous.

"Who brought in these three hundred bottles?" Jiang Xian Ling asked.

"It's the yellow steward of the third shop, he happened to be on leave for the past two days, and we were looking for him, but he wasn't at home, so I don't know where he went?"

Jiang Xian Ling exchanged a look with his staff member Jiang Feng, this leave was too timely.

Jiang Xian Ling pondered for a moment and said to the head catcher: "You go to this Huang Steward's house, warn his family, and limit him to come to the county office tomorrow morning to explain the situation, if he doesn't come, then he will be arrested as a fugitive!" ”

..........

Lanling Restaurant has nothing to do with Lanling Wine, because it is named because it is located in Lanlingfang, Chang'an, and at night, in a medium-sized mansion in Lanlingfang, several middle-aged men sat in the lobby and argued.

A man pointed to today's newspaper and said bitterly: "As I said, making fake wine bottles is too risky, easy to be discovered, and the effect is not good. ”

The second page of the "Chang'an Express" published a statement of the Meishou wine shop, "Recently, there was a fake Meishou wine bottle in the Chang'an market, which can only be filled with thirteen taels of wine, if you find this wine bottle, please hand it over to the Meishou wine shop immediately, the Meishou wine shop will give compensation, we hereby declare that there are only two kinds of Meishou wine bottles, one catty and two two, Meishou wine shop will never lack two catties and two pits to harm the guests, we hate this fake wine bottle, and have reported to the government. ’

This heartbroken man is called Zhang Jianwu, a native of Yongxian County, Qizhou, and he is the proprietor of Chang'an Hanbi Wine Shop.

Li Shaoyuan, the proprietor of Lanling Restaurant, who was sitting opposite him, said with a gloomy face: "The wine bottle is not fired in Chang'an, as long as the yellow steward runs away and doesn't go back to Chang'an, even if Guo Ping knows that we did it, he can't find any evidence, and proprietor Zhang doesn't have to worry at all." ”

Zhang Jianwu said hatefully: "How can you not worry, where is Steward Huang now, even we don't know?" What if he is caught and confessed? ”

Yang Yao, another owner of a wine shop, said: "In fact, even if it is found, this matter is not a big deal, the key is that we did not make fake wine, only made fake bottles, I estimate that we will be fined a sum of money, and then publish an apology, Zhang Dongzhu is indeed a little too nervous." ”

"You know a!"

Zhang Jianwu scolded fiercely: "If you say you won't pursue it, then you won't pursue it?" How to punish is up to you? The case has been filed, and the yellow steward has to be arrested as a felon, obviously the other party's backstage is very hard, we didn't even know what the background of the other party was and started to do it, we were going to be unlucky! ”

After speaking, he got up and said: "This matter has nothing to do with me, I didn't participate, and I didn't make suggestions, I took the first step and said goodbye!" ”

As soon as he walked a few steps, Li Shaoyuan said: "Proprietor Zhang, we are grasshoppers on a rope, and you can't run away from this matter." ”

"Humph! Feel free to do so. ”

Zhang Jianwu didn't buy his account, and hurried away.

"Proprietor Li, what should we do?" Several proprietors next to him looked at Li Shaoyuan together.

Li Shaoyuan pondered for a while and said: "I'm afraid this matter requires us to come up with money to deal with the government!" ”
