Chapter 114: A backhand slap

Li Zhongyi casually asked Wang Youde: "The woman in the house, who introduced Jinka?" ”

"Ah...... There is a woman in Zincane, how do I teach you on a daily basis? You must abide by the laws of the court and control your crotch. Wang Youde looked shocked, turned his head and began to reprimand his soap servants, "Who did it?" Stand up quickly, lest your flesh suffer. ”

Li Zhongyi glanced at the soap servants who were full of different colors, and couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth slightly, he thought to himself, Wang Youde is also a rare acting master!

Let's ask, if it weren't for the power in his hands, who would dare to bring a woman into Zinca so blatantly, the answer is already self-evident.

cough, a small Jinka tax customs, there have been "dramas" of the same level one after another, Li Zhongyi felt a little interesting.

Alas, life is too boring, and more fun is not a bad thing!

"Whoever did it, get out of it quickly, so that the flesh and skin will not suffer." Wang Youde's words were addressed to all the soap servants, in fact, Li Zhongyi had noticed that his eyes were fiercely aimed at an honest middle-aged soap servant.

Uh-huh, looking for a scapegoat? Who is Li Zhongyi, how can he not see through Wang Youde's attempt?

"Yes...... It's the villain...... "The middle-aged soap servant couldn't stand Wang Youde's murderous eyes that were almost about to eat people, and he walked out of the queue tremblingly, kneeling down in front of Li Zhongyi, "Please do well, spare the villain's life......"

"What's your name?" Li Zhongyi asked the middle-aged soap servant lightly, without the slightest appearance of being a big official.

The middle-aged soap servant stammered, "Little ...... The villain is called ...... Ma Xiaoliu ......"

"You owe a lot of money, don't you?" Li Zhongyi stared at Ma Xiaoliu coldly until his body shook into chaff. When he was so frightened that his soul didn't possess his body, he suddenly asked coldly.

"yes...... Ah......" Ma Xiaoliu was also stunned by Li Zhongyi's sharp eyes, and he actually told the truth in a daze.

"How much do you owe?" Li Zhongyi smiled coldly. "If you don't tell the truth, don't blame the official for being ruthless."

"Ten...... Ten Runs Text. Ma Xiaoliu trembled, his head touched the ground tightly, and he didn't dare to look up at Wang Youde, whose eyes were almost about to breathe fire.

"Just ten times, you don't want to die?" Li Zhongyi suddenly sighed and ordered Huang Jingsheng. "Reward him with thirty runs, and let him pay back the money together."

"Whoa." Although Huang Jingsheng didn't figure it out, but. This did not affect his strict implementation of Li Zhongyi's orders.

"Ah......" Everyone present did not expect that Ma Xiaoliu, who was pushed out by Wang Youde as a substitute for the dead ghost, not only was not severely punished, but was rewarded by the new Jinling.

This...... What's going on? Will pie fall from the sky? Someone couldn't help but look up at the sky. But see. The sky was clear and cloudless, the sun had risen in the east, and the sun was shining on the earth, without the slightest sign of wind or rain.

Ma Xiaoliu looked at the genuine thirty yuan in front of him, rubbing his eyes desperately, he couldn't believe his own eyes.

"Old Ma, don't hurry up and thank Shangguan for the reward."

"Thank you...... ...... The villain will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and he will repay your great kindness. Ma Xiaoliu lay on the ground. Kowtowed frequently, and actually put words of thanks in one breath. Say it clearly and clearly.

"Well, wait a while, you will take the initiative to get the three canes yourself, and then you will follow and serve the official." Li Zhongyi said lightly, "If you take a woman into Jinka privately, the official will not punish you, and it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

"Ah......" Ma Xiaoliu stammered, his face was incredulous, and his mind was empty.

"Little Sixth Brother, don't be scared, hurry up and thank Shangguan for his great kindness."

After being reminded by others, Ma Xiaoliu immediately came to his senses and kowtowed Li Zhongyi a few times.

Maybe he was crazy, Ma Xiaoliu actually got up from the ground, ran to a soap servant in the back row, arched his hands and said, "Fifth Brother Zhang, please, hit the board first, and I will serve Shangguan wholeheartedly when I turn back." ”

This Ma Xiaoliu was punished, and he actually had to be grateful to Li Zhongyi, Huang Jingsheng couldn't help but secretly pick his thumb and admired it.

All the soap servants present could see it clearly, and it was clear that the newcomer Jin Ling, with a gesture, pushed Wang Youde out as a scapegoat, Ma Xiaoliu, and became a henchman who knew the inside story of Xiaoyaojin.

Tall, really high, really high!

Li Zhongyi only spent 30 yuan to get the key to open the inside story of Xiaoyaojin, and Huang Jingsheng felt that no matter how you look at it, this investment is far worth it.

Wang Youde never dreamed that Li Zhongyi's methods would be so subtle, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he was already about to regret his intestines.

Li Zhongyi glanced at Wang Youde, who was already frightened, and deliberately put this "drama" aside, and did not engage in a rhetorical show, but beckoned Ma Xiaoliu to his side, and said with a pleasant face: "Xiaoliu, take me to the official hall." ”

"The villain has to be ordered." Ma Xiaoliu happily took Li Zhongyi to the second floor and explained in detail what the purpose of those rooms was.

Li Zhongyi sat behind the bookcase in the public hall and instructed Huang Jingsheng to let him talk to the soap servants in Xiaoyaojin one by one.

The main thing is to ask clearly, who introduced it? In this zinka, who has a good or bad relationship with whom, and so on.

Ma Xiaoliu diligently brought the kettle, and according to Li Zhongyi's instructions, he brewed two cups of tea without adding any ingredients.

After retreating to the door, Ma Xiaoliu felt very strange in his heart, there was no one opposite Li Jinling, why did he put a cup of tea over there?

Li Zhongyi took a sip of the steaming "Yiyang Tea", leisurely flipped through the account book, and took a general look at the recent tax situation in Xiaoyaojin.

This Yiyang tea, that is, the Xinyang tea of later generations, belongs to the Huainan tea system in the "Book of Tea" of 6 Yu.

Although the tea-making process of Yiyang tea in this era is far from breaking through to the Cheng dΓΉ of Xinyang Maojian, it also has a little more of the original and simple flavor of Jinghu Lake in southern Henan, so Li Zhongyi arrived after Kaifeng. I fell in love with this tea.

It's just a little bit, but it makes Li Zhongyi feel a headache, a good Yiyang green tea. But I just want to make a group of tea (tea cakes) to sell.

Li Zhongyi has no love for the group tea at all, and the Yiyang green tea that Huang Jingsheng bought, he wants to ask the bottle to arrange the maids in the house to carefully sort out the single-leaf state of the green tea in the later generations, which is really troublesome.

After taking a sip of Yiyang tea with a slight astringency, Li Zhongyi took another account book and roughly compared it. At present, the tax status of Xiaoyaojin is really worrying.

This is a day of taxation. It is less than 20 guan, that is, the total income of 600 guan a month, which is really pitiful.

Entire customs clearance. There are a total of two small officials who are not in the stream. There are nineteen miscellaneous servants, plus Li Zhongyi's order, a total of twenty-two people.

Among them, there are two people in Kaifeng Mansion, Li Zhongyi and Wang Youde, and the rest are all white servants who have no wages.

White labor, that is, grass people who bring their own dry food to serve for free, or idlers in the countryside of the market.

The government is only responsible for the accommodation of these people. That is, the chase shop on the first floor of Jinka, as for food and clothing. All on your own.

It is conceivable that the source of income for these white laborers is completely dependent on the merchants who come and go in private.

Li Zhongyi tapped lightly on the bookcase, then stood up and walked to the back window.

Li Zhongyi saw that on the wasteland behind Zinca there was a large slum built of thatch and earthen walls. He couldn't help but smile slightly, the tax is very low, but there are many displaced people available, which is much easier.

Li Zhongyi sat back in front of the bookcase, and at this time, Wang Youde cried with a sad face and ran to find his boss.

"Sit down." Li Zhongyi raised his finger and pointed to the cup of cold tea in front of him, "This cup that Xiao Liu brewed has been brewing for a long time." ”

Li Zhongyi had long expected that Wang Youde would come to ask for guilt in private, so he prepared tea in advance, and at this time, if Wang Youde still didn't understand Li Zhongyi's power, he would have lived to be in his thirties.

"Boom." Wang Youde knelt on his knees and kowtowed heavily, "Thank you Li Gongen." The villain is guilty, and he shouldn't have violated the rules and openly stayed with his sister. ”

Li Zhongyi did not directly help him get up as Wang Youde expected, but instead lowered his face and said coldly: "Now that you know that you are guilty, then write a self-confession and submit it to the official." ”

After giving the order, Li Zhongyi left the official room with his hands behind his back, led Huang Jingsheng downstairs, and went to the riverside to see the past situation of the merchants.

"Childe, what if Wang Youde doesn't write a self-confession?" Huang Jingsheng asked Li Zhongyi very curiously.

Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "That is to cut yourself off from the people, and you can't live if you do your own evil." ”

"The people? Childe, what do you mean by the people? Huang Jingsheng asked Li Zhongyi in confusion.

Li Zhongyi laughed softly: "The so-called people are the officials, and the sons are also." ”

"Hehe, as long as this Wang Youde writes a self-confession, this kid will no longer be able to jump out of the palm of your hand, amazing, the little one admires it very much."

Huang Jingsheng did a lot of black-hearted things in Dali Prison in Shu, and he knew a lot of black-hearted money, and he knew a lot about some tricks in the officialdom.

"Well, I gave him a choice, if he insists on dying, who can stop him?" Li Zhongyi gently shook the folding fan, looking leisurely.

To tell the truth, Huang Jingsheng likes Li Zhongyi's free and easy appearance the most, with a heavy burden on one shoulder, but it is better than a leisurely stroll.

In officialdom, standing in line is not only a political attitude, but also a profound political knowledge. Regardless of ancient or modern, those who stand on the wrong side of the team, even if they don't die, they must shed their skin.

This time, due to negligence in Meng Chang's completely bottomless betrayal, Li Zhongyi had already missed it once.

If it weren't for Zhao Kuangyin's righteousness, friendship, and great help, the Li family would have to follow Li Zhongyi and fall into the abyss from which there will be no return.

Li Zhongyi noticed that there were actually not many cargo ships or merchant ships on the Bianhe River, but only a handful took the initiative to dock at Xiaoyaojin.

"Lao Huang, have you inquired about the price situation in Kaifeng City in the past few days?" Li Zhongyi turned his head and asked Huang Jingsheng.

Huang Jingsheng nodded, took out an account book from his arms, and whispered: "Brown rice, ninety wen one bucket, white siong five wen a catty, chai he thirty wen a stone......"

Li Zhongyi nodded while listening, it seems that the price of goods in Kaifeng, especially the price of grain and vegetables, is far higher than that of Chengdu. (To be continued!)
