Chapter 54: Obediently admit it
Song Wenjian said with a smile: "It's not about you, it's not what you said, it's about evidence." Come on, call all the people in the restaurant to the lobby and ask about it, and if anyone doesn't cooperate, take him down. Dare to resist, kill it. ”
Jian Yuping heard Song Wenjian's cry and immediately led people to run inside.
After a while, all the people from the restaurant were brought over, and there were about twenty people.
These people are just part-time workers, and they have never seen such a terrible scene, and their faces have changed with fright.
Song Wenjian shouted loudly: "Mo Jiu's plot just now has been taken down by us. Do you work with him to plot against him? ”
"My lord, we have no ill intentions." The people at the restaurant were so frightened that they hurriedly screamed.
Mo Weifeng saw that the situation was getting more and more wrong, and when he was about to go out to find someone to think of countermeasures, Song Wenjian asked someone to stop Mo Weifeng. "Mo Weifeng, do you still want to escape? If you don't make things clear today, you can't leave. ”
"Ah, it hurts me." Mo Jiu, who was lying on the ground, stared at Mo Weifeng with resentment. "Shopkeeper Mo, you have to save me, or ......"
Mo Jiu didn't say anything, but the meaning was very obvious. If Mo Weifeng doesn't save me, and the yamen will condemn me at that time, I will confess to you, saying that you instructed me to do it.
Mo Weifeng listened to Mo Jiu's words, and trembled a few times.
If Mo Jiu confessed to him, he would be like Mo Jiu's current fate. Mo Weifeng felt that his legs seemed to be broken, and Song Wenjian was very ruthless, and there was no emotion to talk about at all.
By the way, Song Wenjian and the others dared to come over to take charge of the tax and grain work in Yangqing Township, and they must have come prepared. Now that the eldest brother is not at home, he can't have a big idea, so it's better to calm things down, send Song Wenjian away first, and then discuss things with that master.
Thinking of this, Mo Weifeng hurriedly said: "Township Chief Song, I will pay one hundred and ten taels to ensure safety." ”
Song Wenjian got a silver ticket of one hundred and ten taels, and said with a wicked smile: "Yuping, don't collect taxes from other people's Yunbao restaurants this month, it's not easy for people to do business." Guanhai, you drag Mo Jiu away. ”
Mo Weifeng thought that Song Wenjian would let Mo Jiu go, but he didn't expect to take Mo Jiu away, so he shouted urgently: "Township Chief Song, didn't you just say that you spent all this money to keep you safe, why didn't you let Mo Jiu go?" ”
"Oh, do you want to let Mo Jiu go?" Song Wenjian stopped and asked. "Just now it was the peace of whether your restaurant has the same party, and now since you ask about Mo Jiu, I will also give you a face, and you will give another hundred taels of silver, and we will let Mo Jiu go, as if nothing happened just now."
"What? Didn't the money just now be released by Mo Jiu? Mo Weifeng asked in surprise.
Song Wenjian shook his head and said: "No, that's to keep you safe, hehehe, Mo Weifeng, you know." If you go in, it won't be enough for a hundred taels of silver. I heard that he had gone to a lot of shops yesterday to bewitch the public, and after this crime, he and the people behind the scenes had to be finished. ”
Mo Weifeng looked at Song Wenjian's gloomy eyes, feeling as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
"Shopkeeper Mo, you must save me." Mo Jiu screamed.
Mo Weifeng saw that since there was a hundred, now let's make another hundred. "Township Chief Song, if you talk about it, I will give you another hundred taels of silver, and you will release Mo Jiu."
"Hehehe, don't worry, I have always seen money, and I will definitely release people if I have money." Song Wenjian smiled proudly.
Song Wenjian took another hundred taels of silver and immediately took the others away.
Mo Weifeng hurriedly said to the guy next to him: "Go and ask the doctor to see a doctor for Mo Jiu." ”
The news that Song Wenjian was cleaning up Mo Weifeng quickly spread in Wei Town, and other shops didn't dare not pay at all.
Even Subotong's guest shop obediently paid ten taels of silver, and this two fools went crazy to make people afraid.
Mo Jiu's leg will be broken if it is broken, who would dare to provoke the second fool?
At noon, Song Wenjian and the others returned to their hometowns one after another, all with smiles on their faces.
"Old man Hong, go buy some meat and come back, and add vegetables at noon." Song Wenjian shouted at Old Man Hong.
Old man Hong was excited when he heard this, the current world is not so good, it is good to have food and vegetables to eat, how can you eat meat?
Old man Hong went to buy meat, and Song Wenjian counted the money they had collected and found that there were more than 600 taels of silver.
"Young master, if we collect like this every day, we will soon be able to collect enough four thousand two hundred taels of silver to pay taxes and grain." Jian Yuping said happily.
Song Wenjian shook his head and said: "How can it be so easy, this is a month's tax money." Although some stalls collect money once a day, they are small stalls, and they are not enough to collect dozens of taels of silver in a month. ”
"Yes, there are two hundred taels of silver from the Fraud Cloud Restaurant." Wuguan Kaido. "Young Master, why don't you take the opportunity to kill Mo Weibao's restaurant?"
Song Wenjian said: "Harmony makes money, we only have one month, and making trouble can't solve the problem, only by finding a way to raise money." ”
"It's a pity that we only have a month, if we let the young master be the head of this township early in the morning, it is estimated that in a year, we will be able to raise enough tax grain for Yangqing Township." Judging from today's situation, Wu Guanhai found that he could still make a lot of money as a township chief.
It is no wonder that Mo Wei is rich and generous, and collecting money is also a way to make money.
Song Wenjian called Dai Wang and the others over: "Dai Wang, you go back to your village now, and recruit five more young and middle-aged people to come to the township to help, 400 yuan a month." ”
Wu Guanhai was frightened when he heard that Song Wenjian still had to recruit so many people. "Young master, we have so many helpers, and the tax money is enough."
Five more people were invited to each of them, that is, seventy-five people, each of whom was four hundred wen, and thirty taels of silver a month.
Like the young master's current practice, it also includes food and accommodation, even if he eats ordinary meals, so many people still need ten taels of silver a month, isn't this a waste of money?
Wu Guanhai couldn't figure out Song Wenjian, and said that he was very measured, like Mo Jiu's matter in the morning, he handled it very beautifully, so that Mo Weifeng and them couldn't eat chicken.
Say he's smart, and now he's going to recruit dozens more people back to his hometown, what is this for?
Song Wenjian said with a smile: "I have my own use, but I have said it, I must be a loyal and reliable person." ”
Dai Wang smiled: "Township Chief, don't worry, we farmers have always been honest and don't think as much as people in the city." ”
"Okay, you guys hurry up and go back to recruit people, and you'll be back early tomorrow morning." Song Wenjian said.
"Okay, let's have lunch and leave." Dai Wang and the others thought that they could solve the livelihood problems of some people in the village, so how could they be unhappy.
Song Wenjian and Wu Guanhai returned to the back room, and Wu Guanhai said worriedly: "Young master, I know that you have money now, but you can't spend it indiscriminately." ”
You have to use dozens of taels of silver a month to ask for help, and an official like Song Hua is only a few dozen taels a year.
"Guanhai, let me ask you, how many difficult people are there in this polder town?" Song Wenjian asked.
