Chapter 096: Do You Want to Be on the Throne?

If there is a problem with the soap, Li Qian doesn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.

First of all, it is a washing product that has been used by people for countless years and has not had major problems. What's more, the soap made by itself is still handmade, and so far no superfluous chemical additives have been added, and the possibility of uncomfortable symptoms after using it is simply minimal------ except for a few people with skin allergies.

If it was said that a few guests said that there was a problem, Li Qian would be more acceptable, and subconsciously believed that this was the truth, but when this matter was all over the city, it had to make people suspect that all this was promoted by people with intentions behind the scenes.

The driving force behind this is likely to be the person who travels with him------ Li Qian pointed the spearhead of suspicion at the Zhao family.

"Do you think it was an accident or a man-made?" He looked at Yang Qing and asked.

"If it's an accident, I don't believe it." Yang Qing shook his head, although there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows, he still patiently answered Li Qian's question, "Our soap, the first one we use is ourselves, we haven't had uncomfortable symptoms for so long, why are so many people using it all of a sudden?" Obviously, someone is dealing with us! ”

Li Qian bowed his head lightly and said with a smile: "My thoughts are similar to yours, but there are no absolutes, and we can't make a conclusion on this matter based on our own guesses alone." If it's really our soap that's wrong, it's really harmful. ”

"I understand." Yang Qing nodded and said, "After getting the news, I have already sent someone out to see if I can delay the further deterioration of the situation, and by the way, I will check again to see if the situation is true------

While the two were talking, the next person hurriedly came to report, and the yamen Xu Zhutou asked to see him.

Intuition told Li Qian that Xu Jie came over at this time, and it was likely to be related to the soap matter. Glancing at Yang Qing, he commanded the subordinate in a loud voice: "Bring Xu Bantou in." ”

"Yes."

The subordinate retreated in response, and soon brought in Xu Jie, who looked anxious.

"Master, it's not good------"

"What's wrong?"

"Your shop is about to be sealed by the county government!" Coming to stand in front of him, Xu Jie glanced at Yang Qing, and understood in his heart that Li Qian should have known about this at this moment, so he continued: "Just now, someone sued the shopkeeper in your shop to the county government, scolding him for being a profiteer and selling harmful things. ”

What Xu Jie said in his mouth was naturally the leader of the fast class, Feng Zhutou.

"It doesn't seem like it's a proclamation day, is it?" Li Qian asked.

In fact, this is not the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the practice of "announcing on 369 days" has not yet been formed in the officialdom. And a diligent monarch like Zhu Yuanzhang would not allow the phenomenon of lazy officials in local states and counties. But special treatment under special circumstances, after all, Hangzhou Fucheng has two first counties, and only one yamen is needed to receive the notice every day, single-day Renhe, double-day Qiantang.

The reason for this phenomenon is mainly due to the lack of clarity in the areas under the jurisdiction of the two counties. The people don't know which yamen they should be under their control, anyway, as soon as something happens, they will randomly find a county government and sue them, and the county officials dare not accept it------

And today, it is the third day of the sixth month, and it is the turn of Renhe County to receive the notice.

"Today, it should be Renhe County who received the report, but that person came directly to our county office." Xu Jie thought about it and guessed: "Come to think of it, it should be because the road over there is not working, so I found our county." ”

Li Qian nodded slightly, agreeing with his statement. After all, Renhe County is the territory of the Li family and the Lao Yang family, and the government is usually willing to sell them a few thin noodles, so a fool will go to Renhe County to sue them.

In this way, his previous guess was further confirmed.

This is purely a conspiracy, and the other party is not sure that the case will be confirmed, so the complaint was not handed over to the Renhe County Ya.

"Do you want to seal the shop?" Li Qian's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked again, "Who gave the order?" ”

"The King's Book."

"The surname Feng is turning against him again?"

"Yes------"

"This two-five!" Li Qian sneered: "Do you really think that without such a handle, I won't be able to cure him?" Why didn't you talk to me about it? ”

Xu Jie's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to answer.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but there are several other masters in the county who are under duress, and the leaders of the three classes are very wary of each other, how dare he run to Li Qian at will to sue this situation?

In fact, after the incident of the former county honor, Xu Jie also has some shadows in his heart. Don't look at Wang Zhixian's momentum today, maybe people will collapse tomorrow------ if he stands in the camp too early and is too deeply involved, it will be easy to be settled by the autumn queen and beat the water dogs. He was really not sure whether Li Qian would help Wang Zhixian to deal with other masters in the future.

No way, Li Qian looks too lazy. Since he got the house, he had no intention of making another move, so that Xu Jie and other subordinates couldn't help but wonder if he was going to let it go.

It is precisely because of this reason that although Xu Jie did not accept the attraction of the king master, he also held the idea that neither party should be offended, and planned to watch from the wall. Until today, the guy who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, the king actually took the initiative to provoke Master Li's head!

This is a lot of fun, Xu Jie absolutely believes that Li Qian has the ability to overthrow Wang Sanye------ Mo said that it is a small master book, that is, the two Yin, Sanya, and the four old classics are all combined, which is not enough to read!

As for the handle that Li Qian said, he was referring to their three shifts and the joint bribery of the torture room. Now that he has stood in Li Qian's camp, it is naturally impossible for the other party to go through those old accounts, because that means that he will also be implicated.

"What are you afraid of? It's just a few officials, and I can't do anything to expose your! Seeing his frightened appearance, Li Qian naturally guessed a little bit of his true thoughts, but he didn't poke it, but asked: I'll just ask you, do you want to be on top?"

Xu Jie was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded again and again, he dreamed of it!

Li Qian's meaning couldn't be clearer, you want to be on top of the simple position, squeeze the surname Feng down for me! As long as he goes down, he will replace you on top!

In fact, how can Li Qian still need to order this? Xu Jie has been thinking about how to go further and become the nominal head of the fast shift, but in fact the head of the third shift. For this reason, he didn't know how long he had been waiting.

And now, here's your chance!

Soon after Xu Jie and Yang Qing left, Zhu Zhendong came to the door again to ask to see him.

Some time ago, Li Qian really planned to let Xiao Rong exercise well, trying to rely on his own ability to assist Wang Zhixian. That's why they closed their doors and turned away Xiao Zhu.

Of course, he knew that the household had just been taken over into the hands of Wang Zhixian, and even with the full cooperation of Qian Ying, the new head of the case, it was only ordered to be carried out in the county government. The grain chiefs of the districts below may not necessarily buy Wang Zhixian's account, and it is normal to find some trouble for him.

However, Wang Zhixian is not personally responsible for collecting taxes, and the household secretary does not need to go to the countryside in person, so this trouble naturally has to fall on the heads of Xiao Zhu and other household clerks------ although the tax and grain collection in summer and autumn is directly responsible for the grain chiefs of each district, the county government also has to send the secretary of the household to watch, acting as an accountant, and on the other hand, it is the responsibility of supervision.

These are minor issues, though. If the taxes are not collected, the first unlucky ones will be those grain chiefs, and then it will be the turn of Wang Zhixian, the parent official, so there will not be too many tricks they can play.

Li Qian knows this, so he will feel at ease to be a big shopkeeper and let it go.

In this way, Xiao Zhu, as one of the more than 30 bookstores in the household, naturally suffered a lot when he went to the countryside.

As soon as he saw Li Qian, he couldn't wait to complain of his bitterness, like a wanderer who had returned from going out for many years, and finally went home to see his biological parents.

"Sir, don't you know what kind of virtue those grain chiefs are!" As soon as he mentioned those grain chiefs, Xiao Zhu was a little angry, only to see him say with an indignant face: "They all seem to have nostrils in the sky, don't say that it is a white-shirted book like us, but even Qian Sihu has never let them take it seriously!" Actually, it's not just me, I've asked others, and it's probably the same as me------"

"If you can't collect the tax grain, haven't you thought about going to Rong Rong to help come up with an idea?" Li Qian asked.

"I've found it, Master Rong's method can't be said to be bad, at least in other places, the tax grain has already been collected, but it doesn't work very well in my place------"

Xiao Zhu said with a sad face: "At first, I tried according to the method he taught me, the effect is really good, people are a lot more polite to me, and they are also entertained with good food and drink, but they are constantly looking for reasons to shirk, today they said that their family is fair to go out to visit friends, and tomorrow they say that they went into the mountains to hunt------ in short, their family justice is not a day is empty!" ”

Li Qian couldn't help but want to laugh a little when he heard this, isn't this exactly the bridge in the Sangu thatched house? It seems that the ancients were still very wise, and they had already learned a lot of ways to make people touch soft nails.

"It doesn't make sense------" Li Qian wondered: "Although I don't know what method Rong Rong taught you, but according to what you said, it should be quite effective, why can't it work when I come to you alone?" ”

"I don't know ------" Xiao Zhu scratched his head, and he was also very puzzled by this, "Otherwise, how dare I ask you for advice?" ”

"It seems that this person is deliberately trying to make things difficult for you!" Li Qian quickly came to a conclusion and asked, "Have you offended that grain chief before?" ”

"How can it? I'm just a small person, I haven't even seen people's faces, how can I offend him for no reason? What kind of person is Zhao Yuanwai, I can't afford to mess with him at all------"

"What?" Li Qian interrupted him and asked, "You said his surname is Zhao?" Nancheng Zhaojiazhuang? ”

"yes." Xiao Zhu looked at him blankly.

"That's not surprising------"
