Chapter 50: Li Yue
"My lord, Mingjian~~! , Xiaguan really didn't cover anyone~~! , Assassinating the little county lord, the lower officials don't know about it, this~~ There is no way to talk about it~~! "The knife rests on the neck, cold. County Lieutenant Zhou didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only explain anxiously.
It was also at this time that the young man lying in the corner finally came to his senses, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his brother-in-law who was the county lieutenant, and the countless grievances in his heart were finally released, and he shouted: "Brother-in-law~~, they~~ They beat me, and people will arrest them~~." ”
Unlike the county order, which needs to be hand-picked by the emperor, the county lieutenant has always been appointed by the locality, mainly in charge of judicial arrest and theft, tax collection and other affairs, and the official position is not large, but in the eyes of ordinary people, he is already a great official.
The county order coordinates the county's government affairs, and it is the county lieutenant who is specifically responsible for the implementation, and the judgment and taxation are all county lieutenants' duties, no matter which point they are, they are closely related to the people, to a certain extent, there is a county lieutenant's brother-in-law, which is enough for him to run rampant in Sujiang County.
Although there are many people he can't afford to mess with here, it definitely doesn't include these guys who came out of the ravine. "Brother-in-law, they beat me, and they are about to arrest them." When the young man shouted, County Lieutenant Zhou felt like someone had choked his neck and couldn't say a word anymore.
Just now, he was put on his neck with a knife, and under the horror in his heart, he didn't see the unconscious young man at all. County Lieutenant Zhou opened his mouth and did not make any sound, his face was pale. I never expected it~~!
Liu County Ling also looked at the young man with some astonishment, the one who assassinated the little county lord was actually the brother-in-law of Zhou County Lieutenant? Then there is nothing to say. Although he didn't believe that guy actually had the courage to rush to assassinate the little county lord, no matter if there was any misunderstanding in this, County Lieutenant Zhou couldn't escape this time.
I'm afraid that it is precisely because of this brother-in-law who is the county lieutenant that the young man has a reliance in his heart, and he is doing nonsense everywhere, and this time, he finally kicked a hard iron plate.
County Lieutenant Zhou seems to be really unaware of this matter, but since such a thing has happened, his position as county lieutenant will definitely not be kept, and as for what kind of culpability will be held after the dismissal, it can only depend on the attitude of Yue Wangfu.
No, after he goes back, he has to restrain the rebel son at home again, if he acts like before, I am afraid that tomorrow's Liu County Order will be today's Zhou County Lieutenant. To say that at this time, the people who hated the young man the most were not County Lieutenant Zhou, but those pimpies who were hired by him.
More than two dozen pairs of fire-breathing eyes glared at him angrily, as if they were going to devour him alive.
I thought it was just an ordinary fight, but who would have thought that the other party was actually a small county lord! It's really over now~~! Just for a few taels of silver, even his own life was put into it~~
At this time, the young man had already sensed that something was wrong, and looked blankly at Lieutenant Zhou, who still had a knife on his neck, no longer shouting, and his heart gradually sank, knowing that he had broken the sky this time. The purpose of these people is obviously not the little county lord Li Xuan, but since the little county lord is involved, it is naturally impossible to let them go so simply.
Beheading and exile were too severe, and they required the emperor's approval, and these people were guilty of their mistakes, but they were not guilty of death...... However, robbing the toilet water formula, that is, hitting the idea on the Yue Wangfu, if they don't die, they have to be peeled off. Seeing that the people in the Yue Wangfu didn't seem to have the intention of making a big deal out of it, Liu Xianling breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
It's just that he didn't expect that the flower water that was popular in Sujiang Mansion was actually the business of Yue Wangfu, which really surprised him. To say that the county lieutenant is really unlucky this week, when he meets such a superb relative, he even dares to rob the business of Yue Wangfu~~!
No matter what County Lieutenant Zhou said, he was also one of the giants of the county government, and what happened in the county government office today quickly spread out.
"Have you heard, something happened to the county government today!"
"No, what can happen to the county government?"
"I also heard from my brother who was on an errand in the county government that this time, County Lieutenant Zhou is afraid that he will be unlucky."
"I heard that it was the wife and brother of Zhou County Lieutenant, and I was looking for someone to ask about the recipe of the flower water, but I didn't expect that the flower water was also related to the Yue Wangfu."
"Toilet water? Are you talking about the flower water sold in the incense shop in Sujiang City? ”
"Apart from the incense shop, is there any other shop in the city that sells toilet water?"
"What, that flower water has something to do with Yue Wangfu?" In a high-walled compound, there was the sound of a teacup breaking. "How is this possible!" Hearing the news, a well-known wealthy businessman in Sujiang Mansion was dumbfounded. "Fortunately, we haven't made a move yet, otherwise we ......" In other places, some people were also shocked into a cold sweat.
I thought that after the opening of the shop behind the scenes of the Yue Wangfu, those who were staring at the flower water would naturally dispel the bad thoughts, and they would be so stirred up by that kind of sneer, I am afraid that everyone has already gotten the news, and they no longer dare to have any special thoughts about the flower water.
After calming down and thinking about it carefully, the conclusion he got made Chu Yun sigh.
If he didn't know the little county lord Li Xuan, and he didn't cooperate with the Yue Wangfu in the flower water business, even a small Qingjiang county lieutenant would be able to bring him a lot of trouble. After all, one is a citizen and the other is an official, and the person who came to the door to frame him last time, as well as the arrester who hooked up with them, I am afraid that it was also instructed by the county lieutenant.
In these years, it's better to be an official, if you are a county lieutenant, wouldn't you have these things?
Of course, if he really wants him to be a county lieutenant, Chu Yun is also unwilling, with such a little dead salary, he does a lot of things...... Hehe~~! Not cost-effective.
It's better to hug the thighs of Yue Wangfu, isn't it much better than being a county lieutenant of Laoshzi? Of course, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, not every time something happens, the little county lord Li Xuan can't appear at the right time, then Xu Tianchuan is a martial artist, and it's useless. If you can hug one more thigh, there will be one more emergency option at that time.
Therefore, when the female catcher who patrolled the street passed by the door of the store, Chu Yun greeted him very politely: "Li catcher, come to patrol the street again, do you want to come in and drink a glass of water?" ”
"Is there any wine?"
A woman dressed in light blue looked at him and asked with an eyebrow. "Yes!" Chu Yun smiled and said.
The liquor is a liquor made by distillation, mellow and fragrant, and it is the only one in the city of Sujiang Mansion before the liquor store cooperated with Yue Wangfu opened. This distilled liquor was still a liquor that Chu Yun thought of from the distillation of flower water, combined with the modern liquor making method exchanged from the system. It's so much better than the current wine.
If there is wine, there must also be food.
It's not the same as when I first came here, with silver, naturally I don't have to go to the days when there is not much oil and water every day, two cold dishes, two hot dishes, all made by Chu Yun himself, and it is perfect for drinking.
"Li Zhutou, please."
Li Yue looked at the wine and food on the table, and a trace of astonishment flashed on her pretty face.
Didn't you say you just came in to drink a glass of water? The scene in front of me looks like a prepared one. glanced at Chu Yun, but still sat down. And no matter what kind of mind he has, at least these drinks and dishes look good, and it can be seen that he also used a little heart.
I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the side dish that smelled good, and I was very satisfied with this peculiar taste. "If there's something, let's talk about it." took another sip of wine, glanced at Chu Yun lightly and said.
She actually has some appreciation for this handsome scholar's ability, and for the sake of the face of this table of wine and food, if his request is not too much, she can consider it.
"Li Zhutou misunderstood, if it wasn't for Li Zhutou last time, I'm afraid a lawsuit in Xiangjifang would have been unavoidable, a small wine and food, I just want to express my gratitude." Chu Yun smiled, looked at her and said calmly.
For this female head catcher, he really has nothing to ask for at the moment. Even if there is, you can't just say it. As the saying goes, people are short-handed, and people are soft-mouthed, Qingjiang County Ya is not far from the store, if this county lord girl eats a few times here and drinks a few times, and when she really encounters something in the future, can she stand by and watch?
At present, it is only at the level of laying a good foundation for the relationship, and of course we can't just ask for anything. "I don't have to thank you for what I do." Li Yue glanced at him, eating and drinking by herself, well~~ Not to mention, these drinks and dishes are very appetizing to her.
"I heard about the business of Xiangjilu, you cooperated with the Yue Wangfu?" , Chu Yun nodded, this news spread quite quickly, you must know that today is only the second day.
"You're smart." The wine that Lao Chen secretly hid was almost drunk by her, and her face still did not change, looking at Chu Yun, there was a rare hint of approval in her eyes.
It is undeniable that this toilet water is a good thing, and the huge profits contained in it, few people can withstand the temptation, if they don't have enough strength to keep such a treasure at all, I'm afraid that it won't be long before they will be eaten by those people and there is no scum left.
The smartest way is to climb a higher tree and give up some of the benefits to protect yourself. It's just that I didn't expect him to have the ability to climb up to the Yue Palace, and it seems that his relationship with his cousin is extraordinary.
When Li Yue thought of this, someone walked in at the door, and the next moment, the little county lord Li Xuan looked at her with some surprise and asked, "Cousin~~, why are you here~?" As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly sniffed and asked, "Hmm~~? ”
Following the aroma, my eyes turned to the food on the table. A moment later, another pair of chopsticks was added to the table.
The little county lord Li Xuan glanced at her cousin who was pouring herself a drink on the side with some confusion, and had some doubts about her appearing here, but her attention was quickly attracted by the wine and food in front of her. After a while, after listening to the dialogue between her cousin and Chu Yun, Li Yue now finally understands why the two have a great relationship, and it is very normal for two people with hysteria to have a bosom friend with each other. He slowly stood up and said to Chu Yun, "I'm going to patrol the streets." And he walked away slowly.
