Soon it was time to go to the yamen.

Even if Mingji is accused, Mingxiu, who is the person in charge, is still the county lord, and no matter what Mingji does, it will not affect her status.

Therefore, when the official came to the door, he was very polite.

"Please hurry up, Jing Zhaoyin and the Cui family's people are waiting."

It's nothing to let Cui's people wait, but Jing Zhaoyin's care of Ming's father's shop has not been weak in recent days, and it can be regarded as a lot of help to Mingxiu, so his person Mingxiu is still very face-saving.

"Little brother, let's get in the carriage and sit down."

It takes about an hour to walk to the city.

The two officials were flattered, "The county lord is polite." ”

They didn't dare to sit on an equal footing with Mingxiu in the same carriage, so they sat on the wheels with Huang Li.

The egret was in the carriage and leaned into Mingxiu's ear and said, "It doesn't seem like a big deal." ”

If the Cui clan clenched and Jing Zhaoyin planned to dispose of Mingxiu and Mingji, the officials should not be so polite.

Mingxiu glanced over, "Don't talk." ”

Her mood wasn't as relaxed as that of an egret.

Even if Kyung Zhao Yin plans to seize Myeongji, Myeongsu is still the lord of Showa County and the future regent princess.

As long as this layer of identity remains unchanged, no matter what Ming Ji is, the people under Jing Zhaoyin and even Jing Zhaoyin himself will treat her kindly.

Soon arrived at Jingzhao Yin's Mansion.

Before going to the hall, Mingxiu glanced back at Huang Li.

Seeing her chin bowed, Mingxiu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"I've seen Lord Jing Zhaoyin."

"The county lord is polite, I don't know about today's events, has the county lord heard about it?"

Jing Zhao Yin is extremely polite to Ming Xiu, although he himself is a third-grade official, which is not low, but Mingxiu is also a third-grade official, not lower than him, and her connections are not comparable to Jing Zhaoyin.

Even if Mingxiu was the defendant at this time, she was standing in front of the hall upright, even the yellow oriole and egret behind heron.

And those people of the Cui family, except for those who are in charge of the house, are standing, and the subordinates are all kneeling.

Mingxiu smiled, "Showa has also heard about Cui's complaint. ”

Before her next words came out, the people of the Cui family preemptively said: "So, the county lord confessed?" ”

He looked sideways at the man who spoke, and his face showed just the right amount of doubt.

"Who is this?"

The master next to Jing Zhaoyin hurriedly introduced, "This is the second son of the Cui family, Cui Wenjie." ”

Cui Wenjie's thin chest straightened up, and he looked at Mingxiu contemptuously, "The Lord of Showa has not been in the capital for a short time, and he doesn't even recognize all the people?" ”

It's one thing to meet him, it's another to know who he is.

Mingxiu smiled, "Showa privately thinks that in addition to the saint, the concubine and the prince, who else in the capital must be known?" ”

He's just the heir of the Choi family, and Mingxiu has to know him?

I don't know what to say!

Originally, Cui Wenjie didn't mean to compare himself with the emperor, but as soon as Mingxiu's words came out, he had them.

He just wanted to explain, and someone had to listen.

Cui Wenjie's face turned green, he looked at Mingxiu fiercely, and suddenly laughed, "What's the point of the county lord and me breaking these things here?" It's better to explain one or two to adults, why does it clear that there is no business license for alcohol, but it can still sell alcohol, is it because the county lord claims that his identity is different from others? ”

After a while, I didn't see Mingxiu answer, and Cui Wenjie suddenly softened his voice.

"If the lord wants to reconcile......"

Ignoring Cui Wenjie, Mingxiu respectfully blessed Jing Zhaoyin slightly, "This matter is indeed Showa's negligence, I forgot to send someone to inquire about the procedures required to sell alcohol, if there is any punishment, Showa admits punishment." ”

What he wants to do, even if he can't guess that Ming Xiu can know about it.

So easy to let go and admit punishment?

Not only Cui Wenjie, but even Jing Zhaoyin was very surprised.

Before Mingxiu came, they all thought that Mingxiu would not admit punishment so easily, and she and Cui's had a bit of a grudge, otherwise, Cui's would not offend a county lord and sue her to the yamen.

Even Cui Shi thought that when there was a stalemate, he would reconcile with Mingxiu in private, and he only needed Mingxiu to pay a few prices.

Kyung Zhao Yin looked at Myeong-su worriedly.

Accepting punishment like this, people who understand will say that she knows right and wrong sensibly, and will not rely on her identity to get away with it, but more, they will say that she does not take the court law in her eyes by relying on her identity, and Xie Zhan's statement will not be damaged because of this.

Jing Zhaoyin has more or less something to do with Xie Zhan, both public and private, and he doesn't want Mingxiu to be burdened with right and wrong because of this.

"Showa Lord ......"

Before Jing Zhaoyin's words of persuasion came out, Ming Xiu blessed his body, and said: "Those who break the law, no matter who they are, should be punished according to the law, if not, is the law just a good look?" What is the majesty of the imperial court? ”

"The county lord said it well."

Coming back from the stunned feeling of being ignored, Cui Wenjie stared at Mingxiu tightly, he wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Mingxiu's gourd, could he really admit punishment like this? But her words have already been spoken, and if she goes back on her word, there will be many people who want to see the joke.

Recently, she has been in the limelight in the capital, and some people want to see her fall.

"My lord, the county lord has said so, don't you still make a decision?"

He stared at Jing Zhao Yin step by step, this adult is an honest man, if he didn't know this, he would have caught Mingxiu's pigtails, and they wouldn't dare to sue Xie Zhan's people directly.

If Jing Zhaoyin wants to fake the public and help privately, their Cui family is not easy to mess with.

It's impossible to fight against Xie Zhan, but it's still easy to pull down the next Jing Zhaoyin.

Cui Wenjie's eyes were full of warning.

Jing Zhaoyin looked at Mingxiu in embarrassment, and sighed in his heart when he saw her bow.

"The Ming family did not obey the law and operated without authorization, and the Ming Ji was seized according to the law, and the court was compensated 3,000 taels."

Even if he wants to protect Mingxiu, Jing Zhaoyin's approach is really in accordance with the law, which is not insignificant.

The egret was very worried, and as soon as she saw that she was going to seize Mingji, she couldn't help but pull Mingxiu's sleeve and whispered: "County Lord, or the slave maid will invite the prince to come." ”

"Not necessarily."

Jing Zhaoyin made a decision and was about to retreat, but at this time, Mingxiu suddenly spoke, "My lord, wait a minute." ”

Seeing that his face was full of doubts, Mingxiu glanced at Huang Li and signaled.

Huang Li stepped forward and offered the form with both hands.

"Showa wants to sue Choi."

knew that Mingxiu would not admit it so easily.

Jing Zhaoyin sat upright again, looking at Mingxiu with a fair look, "I don't know what the county lord is suing the Cui family?" ”

"Under Cui's family, several shops have operated alcohol and sold food without obtaining a license, and adults are invited to make decisions for the people."

"You talk nonsense!"

Before Jing Zhaoyin could speak, Cui Wenjie couldn't help it.

He stepped forward in three or two steps, staring at Mingxiu, if his eyes could kill, he would have been killed thousands of times.

But Mingxiu was not afraid of him, looked back with calm eyes, and chuckled, "The evidence is here, whether it is nonsense or not is not for Cui Gongzi to say." ”

Retracting his gaze, Mingxiu looked at Jing Zhaoyin and blessed himself again, "Mingji was sealed as Showa's negligence, I admit punishment, but what about Cui's?" ”

Without Mingji, Mingxiu is still Mingxiu, and the two identities of the county lord of Showa and Xie Zhan's fiancée will not change in any way.

Even if there is no Ming Ji today, Ming Xiu can still reopen the shop tomorrow.

But what about Choi?

If they can't drink alcohol, they're nothing!

"My family is an imperial merchant! Even if I didn't get a business license, I could let the emperor say that my family would be in the wine business for generations! ”

Cui Wenjie suddenly remembered this incident, and after explaining to Jing Zhaoyin in a hurry, he looked at Mingxiu proudly.

In the era when imperial power was on top, a sentence from the emperor was much more useful than a business license.

Especially since it was the emperor who said this, and the saints today have no right to refuse.

What about the Showa Lord?

What if they find their negligence?

The emperor opened his mouth, and no one could say half a word more!

Even the regent behind Mingxiu is the same.

Mingxiu really didn't expect this, he was surprised for a moment, and quickly calmed down, "Then the emperor has a promise that your family can sell alcohol without a business license?" Can you allow your family to open a restaurant without a business license? ”

The proper place to sell alcohol should be a winery.

Restaurants don't just make money from drinks.

The desert encourages agriculture and does not look down on commerce too much, although the commercial tax is high, but the management is also very strict.

Before each shop is opened, it needs a business license from the imperial court, and it also needs to ensure the quality, and if it does not comply with the regulations, it will be seized.

The Cui family has a big business, and there is no way to ensure that every shop perfectly abides by the system, especially since they boast of being escorted by the emperor's golden words and never take local officials seriously.

And everyone thinks that the Cui family is very close to the emperor, so they don't dare to be too embarrassed.

can be a son of heaven and a courtier.

The former emperor may have had a good impression of the Cui family, but what about today?

Cui Wenjie was stunned by the question.

What Mingxiu said, even if the emperor trusted them again, of course it would be impossible to make a promise.

Seeing that he was silent, Mingxiu said again: "Up and down the capital, how many restaurants and restaurants do not have a liquor business license?" Cui's sued me this time, I saw that Mandu City was full of such places, and I was punished, so I was naturally dissatisfied in my heart, and I ...... when the time comes."

Cui Wenjie ignored her, and subconsciously retorted, "What can I do then?" How can you? ”

But the steward beside him turned white.

Jing Zhaoyin was also thoughtful.

A month later, Mingxiu's identity was the regent princess.

She said a few words beside Xie Zhan, with Xie Zhan's power, it was not difficult to rectify the shops in the capital.

At that time, there will definitely be many people whose interests will be affected.

Cui's is a big family, and it's true.

But will they be able to withstand the combined bombardment of the vast majority of merchants in the capital?

Maybe it won't make Cui's muscles and bones hurt, but what if Xie Zhan is angry for his wife behind his back?

Now it is different from the past, although they are still imperial merchants, they no longer have holy grace.

"County Lord, can you take a step to speak?" The middle-aged steward beside Cui Wenjie stepped forward with a flattering smile on his face.
