Chapter 35 Fighting Local Officials
Helian Chen was blocked at the door, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang and the others next to him couldn't help but snicker.
Thinking of Helian Chen, when he was in the capital, as the regent, no one dared to stop him even when he broke into the palace.
Now that he is blocked at the entrance of a small Chuzhou, a small place that is not well known, it is no wonder that he has such an expression.
But at this time, Helian Chen quickly put away his surprise and said to the guards: "Hello, I am from the capital. On the back of this car is the goods that we have operated and are ready to sell, so I would like to come and meet your county officials. ”
Sure enough, as soon as the guards saw Helian Chen, claiming that he was from the capital and that there were still goods on the car, he asked, "What is on the car?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a few boxes of clothes." Helian Chen responded, and at this time, the guard nodded to Helian Chen: "Okay, let's go in and report, you wait a minute." ”
Helian Chen said "oh", and began to wait outside, and after a while, soon the guard who had just gone in to report turned around and said to Helian Chen: "That has been reported." The county magistrate said, "Let you go in first." That's right, leave the carriage behind. ”
Although Helian Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly when he watched the carriage being detained, at this time, he and Chu Xiaoxiang pushed and walked into the county office.
Zhuohua and Tao Yao were blocked out, refusing to meet, Tao Yao suddenly pouted lightly, and expressed her dissatisfaction weakly, "What's the big deal, I'm not uncommon for a dog official like this!" ”
At this time, Zhuo Hua was on the side, and said to Tao Yao with a somewhat calm personality: "Be quiet, fortunately, there was no one here just now." If anyone hears about it, I'll have to arrest you! ”
"Afraid of being caught? Our lord is the first regent of the dynasty; Our lady is the first county lord of Jin'an Kingdom. ”
Although Tao Yao couldn't hold back the pride and pride in her heart when she spoke, Zhuohua was so frightened that she wanted to cover her mouth.
"Can you be quieter? Auntie, if we delay my master's business, we will all have to finish playing......"
As Zhuohua was speaking, Tao Yao suddenly came back to his senses, and a shy and timid smile appeared on his face.
On the other side, Chu Xiaoxiang and He Lianchen were pushed to see the county master, but as soon as they met the county master, the county master lay on the prince's chair with a high spirit.
It seemed that he was playing with a piece of jade in his hand, and he was playing with his head down, even if someone came in front of him, he didn't raise his head at all.
It wasn't until a long time later that Chu Xiaoxiang felt that his temperament was about to be polished out, and was about to turn around and leave, when the county master just opened his mouth and said slowly: "Two of you, but from the capital?" ”
"Otherwise, didn't you hear the proclamation?" Chu Xiaoxiang's face was displeased, but at this time, Helian Chen on the side tugged at her sleeve.
To be honest, apart from Chu Xiaoxiang, the only thing left in Helianchen's heart now is that for the suffering people outside the door, he wants to find out the evidence of their corruption as soon as possible.
In this way, to eradicate these tumors that plague the country and the people as soon as possible is to be truly loyal to the country and filial piety to the people. ”
"But I've endured it for a long time," just as Helian Chen tried hard to comfort Chu Xiaoxiang, Chu Xiaoxiang responded with an aggrieved face.
The leisurely county lord only then spoke: "Why are you making a lot of noise, haven't you heard that making noise in front of the court officials is equivalent to despising the court?" ”
Although Chu Xiaoxiang secretly thought in his heart, a county prince like this is also worthy of calling himself a court official.
If he found out that it was no one else standing in front of him, but the regent and the princess regent, wouldn't he be scared to pee?
"Don't put on any official shows, you can ask us about our intentions today," Chu Xiaoxiang was saying, at this time, the county official raised a pair of eyes that opened when he saw money.
"Why? Since you want to say so, then talk about it," the county official said casually, and at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang didn't bother to pay attention to it, and nodded towards Helian Chen next to him.
"Well, we're here to talk to you about business!" Helian Chen is taking it for granted that he will not tell the other party about his true identity with his mouth open.
"Oh? Business from the capital? The county magistrate was still talking slowly, but at this time, Helian Chen pursed his lips lightly and said to the county magistrate: "Whatever you think." ”
"Good boy," the county magistrate was saying, but he looked at Helian Chen, who looked like he was twenty or thirty years old, although he was dressed in luxurious and neat clothes, his temperament was elegant and noble, and he looked like he should have an extraordinary background, but he was more than ten years younger than himself.
"I didn't expect you to have a lot of personality. You're the first to talk to a county magistrate like this. ”
The county magistrate said and gave a thumbs up, but at this time, Helian Chen was still full of silence, and said to the county official, "You have won the award, but coming here today can be regarded as fate."
Since you are the magistrate here, allow me to borrow the precious land so that I can clean up some of the clothes that I have in stock at home, and I will give you twenty percent of the interest. ”
"Only twenty percent?" The county magistrate asked, but Helian Chen said, "Or thirty percent?" ”
Although the clothes were bought by him with money, the questioning tone of the county official at the moment made Helian Chen unconsciously follow his wishes
"It's still too little," the county official was saying, at this time, Helian Chen unconsciously gritted his teeth, "That's okay, thirty-five percent."
"Are you kidding me? Only add such a little bit, not to mention what kind of material your clothes are, in case it is an inferior product, if you want to break into our Chuzhou, how can it be so easy. ”
"And what do you want? As far as I know, Chuzhou is only the second largest city in the province, and it is not the provincial capital. Is it possible that I want to enter your place, but it is even more difficult than the capital? ”
"Besides, I'm afraid that if a Beijing clothing like ours enters you, it will be beneficial and harmless in terms of improving your market influence."
Helian Chen was talking, at this time, the county magistrate of Chuzhou raised his hand to stroke his beard, a pair of eyes flashing with fine light, and after spinning back and forth, he said to Helianchen: "It's better to be like this, you and I will each give way, and divide it into four or six." ”
"You're getting 40% of the profit?" Although Helian Chen felt that such an interest would be a bit high, he could barely accept it.
Just as if he had met a county official who liked to levy harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, Helian Chen was about to turn around, but who knew that the county official actually stopped behind him: "No, I mean, I have six components." Although I have always been a three-seven to others, but now I give less to one percent, and I will regard it as giving you a few thin noodles for a merchant from the capital! ”
"After all, you have helped us here, raising the influence of some markets......"
As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, at this time, Helian Chen couldn't help but mutter: "It's really a dog official, so greedy that he wants to take the big head, but they are a small place after all, and it is estimated that other places are even worse." ”
Helian Chen was thinking in his heart, but at this time, the county official's words surprised him even more: "To be honest, don't dislike you." Officials and businessmen cooperate together, the official takes the lion's share, and the businessman gets a small success. That's how we practice here! ”
"Don't say it's me, even if a new county official comes to power later, he will do it. And maybe it's worse than me! ”
The county magistrate of Chuzhou was talking about the inside story here with a casual face, and Helian Chen and Chu Xiaoxiang were a little inexplicable for a while when they heard that "the new county official came to power".
Could it be that this dog official is about to step down? That's why the new county magistrate will take office, but how does it sound like a dog official?
"New magistrate, are you going to leave here?" Although he had some doubts in his heart, Helian Chen still asked very appropriately, and at this time, the county magistrate said to him, "Yes." To be honest, this official has already donated a third-rate official in the provincial capital, and he will take office from next month! ”
"So when the time comes, it is estimated that these four or six points will have to be re-discussed," the Chuzhou county official was saying, at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and chose to draw his sword from the scabbard beside him.
As soon as he raised his hand, Chu Xiaoxiang put the sword in his hand to the jaw of the county official, and said to him: "The snowflake silver that the people have worked hard to get, just let you be greedy and greedy, you even buy and sell court officials, who is the king's law?" ”
There was a trace of panic in the eyes of the county official, but he soon became arrogant again, and said to Chu Xiaoxiang: "Where did you run out of the wild girl, and you dare to call and drink to the county official!" You still dare to meddle with the idle affairs of the county officials, and see that the officials don't let people arrest you! ”
As he was talking, the county magistrate shouted, "Someone's coming." ”
Chu Xiaoxiang was a little stunned, but at this time, Helian Chen on the side hurriedly blocked her and said to the county official: "I'm sorry, county master." Since everyone is here to talk about cooperation, it is better to divide it according to what you said! ”
"This ......" Although Helian Chen was saying good things on the side, at this time, the county official still looked like he wanted to say something, as if he had a lot of things on his mind, and Helian Chen immediately reacted.
This county official is not doing anything else, he just wants to take the opportunity to ask for finances, how can Helian Chen not understand?
Thinking of this, Helian Chen took the sword in Chu Xiaoxiang's hand into the palm of his hand and took it to the county official, but at this time, there was still a trace of fear in the county official's eyes.
"What are you doing here? Could it be that bribery can't be successful, so you can't assassinate this official? The county magistrate was talking, but at this time, Helian Chen stood straight in place, shook his head, and said to the county magistrate, "No, I just want to give this sword to the county magistrate." ”
"Oh? Yes, I scared the official to death, and I thought you were going to assassinate the official! ”
The county magistrate was talking, but soon he had the idea of the sword in Helian Chen's palm.
"This sword looks pretty good, if you take it to the provincial magistrate. I guess I can get a reward back then! ”
