Chapter Ninety-Five: I Can't Wash It Away

In the next three days, Tang Qi has been making preparations before the opening of Dahan Department Store.

The first is the issue of location.

Chang'an is worth every inch of land, especially in the nine cities, and the shops with sesame mung beans also dare to ask for a price of thousands of gold.

Even if it is the Zhuo family, there are only two shops in the entire Chang'an.

Fortunately, Tang Qi was not a real businessman after all, and he quickly took a fancy to a shop covering an area of more than 100 square meters in Hengmen West Market.

The shop is a three-way structure, and not only has more than 100 square meters of space on the street surface, but also has a courtyard, a storeroom, and a living area.

As long as it is slightly remodeled, it is very suitable as a supermarket.

The owner of the shop wanted to sell because of poor management, and Tang Qi was young and fresh, thinking that he was a businessman from out of town and wanted to extort a sum of money.

However, after inquiring, I found out that this young man with a face was actually a big farmer in the dynasty, a dignified and stable marquis!

The frightened boss didn't dare to shout the price at all, and after selling the store at the reserve price, he left Chang'an for fear of being troubled.

This was originally a trivial matter, the people didn't fight with the officials, Tang Qi was given according to the price of the boss, and he didn't bully others, which was already very conscientious.

Even after Liu Che found out, he also felt that Mr. Tang was soft-hearted.

For the emperor to do business with such rules, even if he is directly requisitioned, no one dares to speak!

This time, the emperor thought about it.

Although Tang Qi has been low-key these days, there are a lot of rumors about him, and everyone in Chang'an knows that there is a new favorite today, and the treatment is comparable to that of the general Wei Qing!

However, because of the good breed, Tang Qi's reputation is not bad for the time being, at least no one is gossiping.

Unless it waits until after the harvest season and the sweet potatoes and potatoes do not perform as well as they should, someone will jump out to attack.

But not everyone can wait.

For example, the cool officials who make a living by helping the emperor bite people.

Why do you say that cool officials are a double-edged sword?

Because anyone who doesn't have character flaws basically can't be a cool official.

To be a cool official, you must be strict, extremely loyal to the imperial power, and have a very serious moral cleanliness!

As for what "morality" is, of course, it is not according to the rules of the world, but the cool officials themselves!

The current Chang'an Lingyi Zong is an official known as a cool official.

Chang'an County Ya.

Yi Zong took the investigation documents of his subordinates' head-hunting, and his brows furrowed: "The boss who ran away, still hasn't found it?" ”

The headcatcher Wang Gang had a bitter face: "Master, the little ones turned Chang'an inside and out, and went to the surrounding counties to ask, but no one saw the whereabouts of the boss at all, and there was no way to find it!" ”

"Where is that guy?"

"It is said that he is a native of Zhongshan and has been in business for generations. But the little one also sent people to look along the official road, and he found his hometown until he found him, but he didn't see anyone! ”

The vertical surface of righteousness sinks like water.

Originally, he wanted to find the owner of the store at the reserve price, and let him come forward to identify Tang Qi as a bully and bully, and use this as an excuse to let the stable waiter come to the county government for a trip.

But I didn't expect that after looking for so many days, I couldn't even find a ghost!

Wang Gang cautiously asked, "Master, are we still looking for it?" ”

"Find a fart, you must have been killed by Tang Qi!" Yi Zong said in disgust, "Find someone to go to the official office to ask, and let people testify that Tang Qi has neglected his duties!" ”

The dignified peasant order, not paying attention to the world's agricultural affairs, going to dump what shops, dereliction of duty and not running!

Wang Gang was very embarrassed: "But master, even if you don't go to the top of the station, this matter will not be under the control of our Chang'an County Ya!" ”

"As long as the evidence can be found, the official will personally go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a trip!" Yi Zong sneered, "The prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, as long as the prime minister speaks, Tang Qi will shed his skin if he doesn't die!" ”

Wang Gang had no choice but to take his life.

The heart said that the county order is what kind of wind is pumped, how good it is to be safe and sound, why do you have to wait for stability with others?

With the Son of Heaven's favor for An Dinghou, even if he really caught someone dereliction of duty and didn't go to the official office to point out the evidence, it would definitely be a reprimand and reprimand.

Thankless, why bother!

After seeing his subordinates leave, Yi Zong's eyes became even more gloomy: "Tang Qi, you'd better keep your hands and feet clean, don't fall into the hands of this official!" ”

That night, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhao You sat at the bottom of Gongsun Hong, his face full of flattery: "The prime minister is like a god, this afternoon, the Chang'an County Ya really sent someone to ask Tang Qi about the situation!" ”

"Well, what do you say?"

"Tang Qi is very good at inviting people to buy people's hearts, of course, no one is willing to testify." Zhao You flattered and said, "According to your orders, the lower official was particularly indignant, and scolded the catcher who came, and asked him to warn Yizong not to cross the line!" ”

Gongsun Hong smiled with satisfaction: "Well done, with the arrogance of righteousness, I will definitely hate Tang Qi to death now, just wait to see that mad dog perform." ”

"The prime minister is strategizing, and the lower officials can't catch up." Zhao You rubbed his hands expectantly, "I dare to offend you, Prime Minister, that kid's big agricultural order has also been achieved, you see ......"

Faced with this undisguised attitude, a trace of disgust flashed in Gongsun Hong's eyes.

But he quickly covered it up, and said with a gentle smile: "Don't worry, after Tang Qi steps down, this official promises to recommend you in front of His Majesty." Remember, these days you have to build more roads, do more political achievements, and leave a better impression on Your Majesty, you know? ”

"Also, don't mix with righteous dog-eat-dog, and show respect for Tang Qi more than anyone else."

"Yes, yes, follow the Prime Minister's orders!" Zhao Youxi smiled, "Don't worry, the person surnamed Tang has no heart, and the production method of such a good thing as cement is not hidden, and it is not difficult to build roads now!" ”

"Well, there you go!"

After Zhao You left, Gongsun Hong's eldest son, Gongsun Qing, stepped out, his face full of disgust: "Father, this is a villain!" ”

"Villains also have villain usages." Gongsun Hong stroked his beard and said, "Only villains will be insatiable and willing to be the official's dog." ”

"But father, how can you be sure that righteousness will bite Tang Qi to death?"

Gongsun Hong said with a smile: "Because Yizong is a cool official, and a cool official is the hunting dog of the Son of Heaven." Chang'an has been calm for too long, if there is no prey, what does the owner want the hound to do? ”

"The Son of Heaven has become more and more unfamiliar with Yizong recently, and with Yizong's sensitivity, he will definitely try his best to find a prey to bite, so as to regain His Majesty's attention! What's more, this person has a strong personality and pays the most attention to the rules, Tang Qi's whimsical imagination is equivalent to a corpse vegetarian meal in his opinion. ”

"Isn't it for Your Majesty to share your Majesty's worries by biting to death a corpse and making great contributions?"

Gongsun Qing admired: "The father is scheming, and the son understands." ”

"Someone cleaned it up, right?"

"Father rest assured, the boss has just sold the shop on the front foot, and the back foot is found by his son's people, so that the whole family has no life left. Thinking about that Tang Qi, I can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River! ”
