Under the frightened eyes of the students, Li Zhi's soldiers didn't care whether there was evidence or not, and went up to arrest people according to the information investigated by Han Jinxin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info first arrested in the Fan Jiazhuang official hall and then interrogated carefully, if he is guilty, he will be executed, and if he is not guilty, he will be released. Almost all of the students who took the lead were the children of the gentry, and according to the intelligence, these people had unclean business in their families, and they were all arrested by Li Zhi at once.

Not only that, but the families of the three county commanders were also killed.

The yamen of the three county orders were all rushed in by Li Zhi's soldiers. Li Zhi's soldiers arrested relatives who helped the county order to take care of their business on the spot and brought them back to Fanjiazhuang for interrogation. In front of Li Zhi's wolf-like soldiers, the county government seems to be a teahouse brothel that everyone can enter, where do these parents have a little official authority?

The three county orders were all like ashes, and the loss of official authority was a small matter, and the county commanders were worried about their relatives, for fear that Li Zhi would really kill his relatives when he got the evidence.

According to General Longhu's current strength, once the county orders the family members to commit the crime of perverting the law for bribes, even if General Longhu kills their families, the Son of Heaven probably will not punish General Longhu - Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses are wantonly plundering in the local area, and no one cares about robbing women, Li Zhi's soldiers and horses are stronger than Zuo Liangyu, what is it to kill a few businessmen with conclusive evidence?

On the contrary, what the Son of Heaven lacks now is the silver to suppress the thieves. Li Zhi offended the world and collected money for the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven would like Li Zhi even more in his heart.

If Li Zhi interrogates and produces evidence, the county magistrates will not only lose their relatives, but also lose their business and even their official positions.

Now that Li Zhi is blatantly retaliating, the three county commanders know that they have instigated the students and businessmen to anger Li Zhi. The three of them estimated that as long as they shut up, their family members who were taken away by Li Zhi would be fine. The three county commanders were afraid of starting the fire again, and they were silent all of a sudden, and they didn't dare to go out of the yamen to incite the students.

The rest of the students saw that the backbone had been arrested, and the county order was no longer out of the yamen, and they suddenly lost their backbone.

Without a leader, these scholars became scared after making a fuss for a while, for fear that General Long Hu would come to arrest people again. The prestigious Xiucai was especially frightened, and soon made up an excuse to flee home. When the other scholars saw that all the backbones had fled, they also knew that the situation was not right, and they were the last to flee one by one.

Without the support of the students, the striking merchants were uneasy, not knowing how Li Zhi would deal with them.

Li Zhi's treatment of these strikers is quite simple.

Li Zhi dispatched merchants from Fanjiazhuang to support the three county towns, and asked the merchants from Fanjiazhuang to bring grain, oil and vegetables to sell in the three county seats, selling at prices slightly higher than the market price, and stabilizing the local market. With Fanjiazhuang transporting cheap goods, the lives of the people in the three counties were not affected by the strike, and their mood stabilized.

The merchants of Fanjiazhuang are doing hot business in the three counties, and they are so busy that they can't collect the cashiers, and they only hope that the merchants who will strike the market will stop for a few more days.

At this moment, it is not interesting for the merchants who have gone on strike to continue the strike, and the strike is just to give business to the merchants of Fanjiazhuang.

The power of this dragon and tiger general is too strong, on the army has a tiger master who has won a hundred battles, on politics there is the favor of the Son of Heaven, and on business there is a prosperous Fanjiazhuang. Whether it is military, political or business, the hundred officials in Tianjin have no way to take Li Zhi, and any tricks are easily resolved by Li Zhi.

Moreover, Li Zhi threatened to deal with Dongnu if he didn't open the door after three days, which was very terrible, and the merchants in the three counties had to weigh it carefully.

Just one day later, the businesses in the three counties opened one by one. First of all, the small merchants who had little capital opened their doors in the morning, and then in the afternoon, the big shops of Benhou Lifeng also reluctantly opened.

The so-called strikes and school strikes disappeared in just three days.

The doors of the shops were opened, and Li Zhi's tax accountant took the soldiers of the Tiger Benshi Division to check the accounts and collect taxes one by one. For small businesses without accounts, let the small traders file their own tax returns, and then after a period of time, let the accountant sit in the store for a day to estimate the sales and check whether the taxes reported by the small traders are correct. If the discrepancy is too large, you will be fined! However, if there is no cooperation, the store will be closed on the spot and will never be allowed to be reopened.

Since the shops in the three counties all have a history of boycotting the market and resisting taxes, Li Zhi asked the tax committee to calculate carefully, and not a penny of tax can let these businessmen escape.

In front of the tiger-wolf-like tiger gentry, the officials and gentry of the three counties could only tremble, and they could only pay taxes obediently.

According to the accountant's estimates, these three counties are even Fanjiazhuang, and Li Zhi can collect 62,000 taels of commercial taxes throughout the year. That's a decent amount of income.

On the other hand, Li Zhi has to deal with the lawbreakers arrested in this market strike.

These people are all in the vanguard of the strike, and Li Zhi is not ready to let them go easily. While Li Zhi carefully interrogated the criminals in the class room, he asked Han Jinxin to search for more information and evidence outside, trying to find out the people who were arrested.

These scholars who were caught by Li Zhi in the class room are also the children of the gentry and wealthy families, and they have deep roots in the local area. The gentry quickly settled down and found all kinds of connections to save people. Throughout the second half of January, Li Zhi's staff office was full of officials from all walks of life in Tianjin, and the threshold of the staff general's mansion was almost broken. As long as the officials who have had a relationship with Li Zhi, almost all of them have come to Fanjiazhuang to intercede for the arrested students.

For these officials, Li Zhi served a cup of tea and did official business. For the children of the inferior gentry and the families of officials who obstructed his collection of business taxes, Li Zhi investigated to the end and saw whether he had done anything bad. If you really haven't done anything bad, let it go. If you have done evil, you will be punished resolutely.

This market strike and class strike turmoil is also a good opportunity for Li Zhi to clean up the officialdom on Tianjin West Road. Killing a group of inferior gentry who bully and dominate the market can also make the water on Tianjin West Road clearer.

On 25 January, the governor of Tianjin, Cha Dengbei, finally arrived. He visited Li Zhi and came to intercede for Song Daoming, the two military guards in Tianjin, and also for Song Jinyu, the son of the soldiers.

Li Zhi and Cha Dengbei were acquaintances and greeted him in the second hall. Now that Li Zhiyong is famous all over the world, Cha Dengbei does not dare to hold it up in front of Li Zhi. As soon as Li Zhi put on a posture of kneeling down to worship Cha Dengbei, Cha Dengbei hurriedly went up to help Li Zhi.

"Why does the general need such a big gift?"

At the end of last year, it was rumored in Tianjin officialdom that Li Zhi had a stalemate with Song Daoming because he did not kneel, but in January this year, Li Zhi led the troops to arrest Dongnu in the Military Reserve Mansion, which made the Bingbei family bear a serious crime. The timing of this is a coincidence, which makes people scared when they think about it, who in Tianjin would dare to let Li Zhixing kneel?

The two sat down in the second hall. Cha Dengbei took a sip of tea and said, "General Longhu, this Song Jinyu is weak and ignorant, and he was deceived by someone when he married that Yuwan. If the general sells a face to his official and releases Song Jinyu, don't mention this matter again. (To be continued.) )
