At this moment, the officers and soldiers really arrived at the gate of Huacaiyuan.

As soon as she saw the officers and soldiers, Ning Xia Qing subconsciously stood up, Ah Zheng stood beside her without saying a word, Dong Zizhen obviously didn't expect the officers and soldiers to come so quickly, and was stunned.

In the cold weather, Ning Xia Qing seemed to feel that a drop of sweat crossed his back.

In front of her were two officers in hats and boots. The faces of the two catchers carried the unique majesty and ruthlessness of the people in the county government, and the majesty and ruthlessness were enough to make the common people fearful.

Behind her, there are two plaques hanging in a very conspicuous place in Huacaiyuan, "Good as Water" and "Dao Zhijian" are like two mountains, and she feels that the two quick eyes seem to sweep over the two plaques.

There are only two catchers who come to Huacaiyuan, and it is estimated that the second master is still fighting with the catcher, and the catcher sees that the workshop is endless, so he sent these two catchers to deal with Huacaiyuan alone.

It seems that the main object of the government is the workshop of the second master, not Huacaiyuan.

Ning Xia Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and Dong Zizhen also figured this out in an instant, so he mustered up the courage to greet him with a smile and said, "The two officials have worked hard, I don't know why they came to the shop?" ”

The two catchers asked Dong Zizhen coldly: "Are you the owner?" ”

Dong Zizhen replied: "The villain's surname is Dong, and he is the shopkeeper of Huacaiyuan, so if the two officials have anything to say, just tell me." ”

The two catchers looked away from the top of the two plaques, looked at the shelves with "Meritorious Perfection", and succinctly announced: "You are limited to removing these materials from the shelves today, and you must also remember that these materials will be prohibited in the future." ”

Dong Zizhen was stunned, Ning Xia Qing slowly stepped forward and said politely: "Two officials, I am the owner of Huacaiyuan, and my surname is Ning." Ning Ningqing said very enthusiastically: "The two officials came to the small shop, and they worked hard all the way, so it is better to sit down and rest for a while." If you don't dislike it, the small shop is willing to treat each other with coarse tea. ”

The two of them glanced at each other, without showing a look of rejection. Seeing this, Ningxia Qing said: "The small shop still has to do business, and it is inconvenient to talk here, can the two officials please come in?" ”

Immediately, Ningxia Qing left Dong Zizhen in the shop to take care of the business, and gave Ah Zheng another look, while he was in front of the two catchers to guide the way. The two catchers didn't say yes or no, but followed Ning Ningqing out of the back door of the shop very obediently and went to the living room of the Ning family.

Ningxia Qing asked Cuiyu to give good tea, and as soon as Cuiyu walked out, Ah Zheng came in and handed Ningxia Qing two cloth bags.

Ning Xia Qing handed the two cloth bags to the two catchers, and said with a smile: "In order to protect the people on weekdays, the two officials get up early and work diligently, which is really hard. The small shop has a thin profit, which is the money for the two officials to drink, and the two officials are invited to laugh. ”

The two catchers quickly collected the money, and there was a smile on their faces, and the older one said: "As a fast catcher, it is our duty to protect the people, and we don't have to be polite." ”

The younger one sighed with a half-smile: "Ning Dangjia is young, but he is thoughtful and proper in dealing with the world. It's not like the old man in the workshop just now, it's just an antiquity......"

Ning Xia Qingwei smiled and bowed her head obediently.

I just heard Dong Zizhen mention that when Dong Zizhen went to the workshop to check the situation, Second Master Ning was quarreling with the official, and he almost fought......

You must know that if officials handle cases, civilians dare to stop them, and they will be arrested! Fortunately, the second master didn't really fight with the official, otherwise he would have been in the number at this time.

Alas, isn't Second Master Ning that kind of temperament? It's not surprising that he can quarrel with officials. Speaking of which, these officials are nothing more than doing things according to the orders of the above, and it is useless to quarrel with these officials.

Ning Xia Qing could guess that when the official messenger found the workshop and took the official announcement to seal it, Ning Er's master Bacheng immediately became popular, in order to keep the workshop, he must have argued with the officials, and it was estimated that he didn't even have time to give the filial piety silver.

Cuiyu brought the tea up, and Ning Xia Qing took out some silver from her purse, handed it to the two catchers, and said, "This is to invite all the brothers to drink, and ask the two eldest brothers to help me bring it back." ”

The two of them were stunned, obviously they didn't expect Ning Ningqing to be so generous, and their expressions were more kind than just now. Ning Xia Qing said: "Speaking of which, the old man in the workshop is still my distant relative, after all, the broken bones are connected to the tendons, and this bit of silver should be regarded as me making amends for him." ”

The two catchers didn't speak, but just put away the silver. The older one quickly took two sips of the teacup and instructed: "Ning Dangjia is an honest person, and the government will not embarrass you." As long as you take all the 'merits' off the shelves in your shop, you will never touch this satin again, and this matter will not even affect you. ”

Ning Xia Qing asked: "Dare to ask the two officials, why does the government want to include 'merit consummation' in the list of prohibited items?" ”

The older one took out the official announcement from his bosom, handed it over, and said, "See for yourself." ”

Ning Ningqing stared at it, and couldn't help but look solemn.

This is said that this "merit is complete" satin violated the royal taboo, and dared to use Zhehuang as a dye, Zhehuang is the color of the Son of Heaven, according to the law, the people dare to use Zhehuang, and the crime is complicit!

Ning Ningqing's face turned white, and the matter was even more serious than she imagined. If it is an ordinary quality problem, it is not a big crime, but now it is a taboo of the Son of Heaven, and the closure of business is the lightest, if it is serious, it is possible to count the second master Ning as a guillotine!

Ning Xia Qing said in horror: "This ...... I'm afraid this is not mistaken, right? Second Master Ning has been in this industry for many years and has rich experience, it is impossible for him to violate this taboo. ”

The faces of the two catchers instantly sank, and the older one said: "Ning is in charge, I'm just a catcher who works on official business, and I don't know anything else." ”

Ningxia Qing nodded again and again, and said quickly: "Since Ning Dangjia is an honest merchant, I can also say a few more words." In fact, this time only the yellow material was taboo, and the other colors were originally fine, but this batch of net satin was all called 'merit consummation', and the official announcement was written in accordance with the name of 'merit consummation', so this batch of net satin could only be taken off the shelves. ”

The old man said quickly: "In the final analysis, this matter is a problem on the side of the workshop, a store like you is just affected, as long as the material is removed from the shelves quickly, the store will not be involved." I advise you to go to the workshop to discuss and see if you can return the incoming goods and reduce the loss. ”

After speaking, the two catchers quickly stood up, and the older one said, "We still have official business, so we can't delay any longer." Although the owner of the workshop is a distant relative of Ning Dangjia, but at this time, I advise Ning Dangjia to ask Ning Dangjia to do it himself. ”

As soon as the two catchers left, Ning Xia Qing was stunned in his seat, speechless. Dong Zizhen ran in and asked, "The master, the family, what's going on?" ”

Ning Ningqing said in shock: "'Consummation of Merit' has violated the taboo of Zhehuang and has been included in the list of prohibited goods. ”

Ning Xia Qing suddenly remembered what the two catchers said about "shops like you" and "there are also official duties", Ning Ningqing instantly thought of something, stabilized his mind, and said to Dong Zizhen: "Those two catchers are going to other shops that sell 'merit consummation' now, you go and follow the merchants who buy goods from us to inform them, let them steady, and wait for news from me." ”

Dong Zizhen answered and ran out.

Ning Xia Qing sat on the chair, covered in cold sweat, and was speechless.

If it is verified that he has violated the taboo of Zhehuang, to put it more seriously, the second master may lose his life, even if the second master can escape responsibility, the second master's workshop will be completely over. Now she and the second master are grasshoppers on the same rope, and if the second master falls, she will not end well.

But she didn't understand, how could the second master make such a mistake?

The yellow-red color dyed by Zhemu is called Zhe yellow, which is the color of the emperor of the dynasty, and the imperial satin produced by the Xiao family is the same as the material that is not allowed to be used by the people. Needless to say, the whole world is a veteran in this industry, even ordinary people know this taboo, how can the second master know the law and break the law?

The folk are not allowed to use Zhe yellow, but this does not mean that it must not be dyed with Zhemu. Zhemu is a very good dye, not to mention that today's dyeing skills are so developed, it is completely possible to use Zhemu to mix with other dyes, or to control the coloration when dyeing with Zhemu, so that the color is darker or lighter, it is not Zhehuang.

She remembered that there was indeed this kind of color close to Zhehuang in the "Perfection of Merit", could it be that the material was taboo?

She didn't know if that color would be counted in the category of Zhe yellow, but although Ning Xia Qing didn't know the color dyeing process of "merit consummation", she firmly believed that the second master would never make the mistake of Zhe yellow.

It's just too strange.

Ningxia Qing got up, called Ah Zheng and Cuiyu, and went to the second master's workshop.
