Chapter 457: Collusion between officials and businessmen
The shopkeeper of the restaurant has actually done a good job, and if it were her, she would think that the matter was over after the other party stopped coming to the door.
At first glance, the matter of buying shares is a disguise, and their purpose is self-evident.
However, the shopkeeper refused very neatly, and the other party didn't seem to force it, as for whether they did anything in private, they had to investigate it in person.
Liu Qingshao plans to find someone to test the owner of the restaurant in private.
This matter was too coincidental, she always felt that the other party would not give up, but it was a pity that she and Xiao Han lived in the imperial city and didn't know anything about that restaurant.
So they decided to investigate first, and then find a way to check the restaurant's accounts!
The shopkeeper felt that he had delayed the big event, and he was very sad, although Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao didn't blame him, he still couldn't pass the level in his heart.
It's a pity that he has nowhere to help Liu Qingshao and his wife at the moment, so he can only do his best to do his part.
After going back, Liu Qingshao said to Xiao Hanyin, "I want to go to the owner of the restaurant in person tomorrow!" ”
"No, I'll send someone to inquire about the other party's details, don't go over for the time being!" Xiao Hanyin's eyes darkened.
"Ah Yin, I know you're worried that they're going to be bad for me, but this is the way things have been, I have to go!" Liu Qingshao has her plans.
"Now, they don't know that you're coming, and if you go to the owner of their restaurant privately, you'll reveal your whereabouts!" Xiao Hanyin didn't want her to contact them without knowing the other party's identity and details.
This approach is really too risky, and Xiao Hanyin disagrees with it in his heart.
"If I don't get into the tiger's den, if I don't contact him personally, how can I know if he has other thoughts about our restaurant?" Liu Qingshao insisted on this, and did not listen to Xiao Hanyin's dissuasion at all.
"Lady, Chuzhou officials and businessmen collude, maybe the owner of the other party's restaurant has secretly had a relationship with the county order and the prefect, you rashly went over to check him, I'm afraid it will cause their dissatisfaction!" Xiao Hanyin was also worried that after her identity was exposed, she would be plotted.
"That's why we should go to him and find out!" Liu Qingshao insisted.
"Leave this matter to me for the time being, and I'll make plans after I find out his details!" Xiao Hanyin didn't want her to check, but she didn't want her to make such a move that disregarded her own safety.
"Good!" Liu Qingshao saw that his eyes were full of urgency, and finally agreed.
In fact, Xiao Hanyin's thoughts, Liu Qingshao knows better than anyone else.
The reason why she insisted on doing so was just to share a share of it for him.
Although the matter of the restaurant is very important, it cannot be compared with Xiao Hanyin at all.
For Xiao Hanyin's sake, she can give up anything.
Liu Qingshao believed that he would do the same, so under his fierce opposition, Liu Qingshao temporarily agreed.
However, the next day, rumors suddenly circulated in Chuzhou City about their restaurant secretly raising the price of dishes.
In fact, this kind of rumor didn't need them to pay attention to in the first place.
After all, the people of Chuzhou know that the price of the food in their restaurant is not much compared with other restaurants, or even slightly lower, but everyone who has eaten there knows the difference.
Therefore, no one has ever arranged their restaurant indiscriminately, but now someone has run out and deliberately touched the mold, how can Liu Qingshao feel comfortable.
However, she didn't plan to clarify, after all, the price was there, but anyone with eyes could see it.
Liu Qingshao believes that these rumors will soon be self-defeating.
The next day, the shopkeeper of the restaurant suddenly came and found them.
"What's so alarming?" Liu Qingshao saw that his face was pale and his eyes were anxious, and she sighed in her heart.
"The owner, there was an accident in the restaurant, after we opened the door today, there were many people who made trouble, saying that the food in our restaurant was not clean, and even smashed the restaurant......" The shopkeeper was really panicked.
After Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao glanced at each other, they decided to go to the restaurant in person.
The two quickly followed the shopkeeper to the restaurant.
As a result, when they passed, the troublemakers were gone.
However, the things in the restaurant have been damaged a lot.
"Do you know where those people came from?" Liu Qingshao frowned.
"I don't know, not long after we opened the door, they rushed in, and after they accused us openly, they went straight to it!" A guy at the restaurant said with his head down.
"Did they say anything during the smashing?" Xiao Hanyin said coldly.
"No, they didn't say anything except foul language slandering our restaurant!" The guy shook his head.
"This time it was clearly premeditated!" Liu Qingshao rubbed her eyebrows and said, "You guys clean up your things first, and I'll take care of the rest!" ”
Liu Qingshao asked the shopkeeper to appease the guy who was frightened today.
Subsequently, Liu Qingshao ordered someone to investigate the identity of the person who came to make trouble before.
smashed her things, how to pay for her.
Liu Qingshao can't wait to find out who is behind the scenes.
For the next two days, they searched for troublemakers, but found no clues.
"Ah Yin, I think this matter is likely to be related to that restaurant!" couldn't find the news, and Liu Qingshao's mood was a little irritable.
Since that day, no one has dared to eat in their restaurant anymore.
Nowadays, the business of the restaurant is very weak, and there is no one to see all day, and everyone is not very comfortable.
Obviously they were wronged people, but the result was such a simple thing, and the business of their restaurant was gone. Book 6 bar
The restaurant that used to be busy all day long has become deserted.
The shopkeeper and the rest of the guys were eager to find those people and clean them up......
After Xiao Hanyin and his wife discussed it privately, they decided to secretly go to the restaurant in disguise to find out the news in person.
Since their restaurant has no business, the business of the restaurant that fights with them and even wants to buy shares is getting better and better day by day.
After this incident, they became the biggest winners, if this matter has nothing to do with them, Liu Qingshao doesn't believe it.
After all, he was the biggest beneficiary after what happened.
Therefore, the couple wanted to investigate in person, and only by knowing themselves and knowing each other could they win all battles......
The husband and wife disguised themselves as an ordinary couple and walked into the palatial restaurant.
The decoration of this restaurant is very magnificent, and it looks pretty good, but the dishes are very average.
"Ah Yin, what are you looking at?" When Liu Qingshao was eating, he found that his eyes had been staring ahead, and he was very puzzled.
"The personal guards around Governor Pan's house!" Xiao Hanyin looked at a man in purple clothes and said.
"Isn't that the owner of this restaurant?" When Liu Qingshao saw them, she immediately recognized the identity of the middle-aged man standing next to the guards of the Pan Governor's Mansion.
The husband and wife didn't expect to see them in the restaurant.
"It seems that our previous guess was right, Governor Pan and the owner of this restaurant have indeed been in contact for a long time!" A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Maybe the matter of our restaurant is indeed what they did in secret!" Liu Qingshao had the same guess before, but unfortunately there was no evidence.
The couple would come to the restaurant to eat, just to investigate the identity of the restaurant owner, but they had an unexpected gain.
Xiao Hanyin stared at them quietly, but unfortunately the two of them soon walked into the private room, there were too many people in the restaurant, and he couldn't get close at all.
However, now that he knew that they were related, Xiao Hanyin thought of where to start to find evidence of corruption and bribery in Governor Pan's mansion.
Although he did not directly loot the people's goods, he also obtained the money from the people indirectly.
Governor Pan helped the businessmen to harm the people and profit from them, they were all raccoon dogs, and no one was innocent.
Now, in order to find out the flaws of Governor Pan's mansion as soon as possible, as well as the evidence that he secretly manipulated when building the river embankment, Xiao Hanyin decided to meet the owner of this restaurant in private for a while.
Liu Qingshao only needed one glance to see through what he was thinking......
Xiao Hanyin hated those corrupt officials who didn't take human life seriously in his life.
This Governor Pan has touched his bottom line, in fact, Liu Qingshao is also extremely disgusted with him in her heart.
His greed should not be fulfilled by the blood and sweat of the people.
After all, there are too many people in the world who covet glory and wealth, and if every official is like him, will the people still have a way to live?
Since coming to Chuzhou, Xiao Hanyin has seen too many people who are about to starve to death because of lack of food at home.
Although he and Liu Qingshao secretly ordered someone to help, those people who were about to be unable to open the pot.
However, if this kind of thing is not dealt with at the source, the people will starve to death sooner or later.
The merchants were too greedy, and the prefect of Pan didn't know how to restrain himself, and he didn't care about their situation at all.
In this way, only the merchants in Chuzhou will survive in the end, and they will really be able to survive at that time?
Governor Pan thought he was doing seamlessly, but he didn't know that he had long been suspected.
He dared to be greedy for ink even for the silver used to build the river embankment, how could the emperor tolerate him.
Xiao Hanyin did not use means to secretly teach Pan Zhifu a lesson, just to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.
Only when the emperor personally disposes of him can he deter other officials who are greedy and selfish.
In fact, since the emperor established a mysterious organization, he and Du Wenhai have secretly teamed up to find out what many officials have done.
However, there are always people who think that they can be lucky to avoid a catastrophe.
It's a pity that they forgot that the imperial history of the court and other good officials who were honest and strict.
When Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao were eating in the restaurant, they secretly let their people spread the news.
Although he knew that Pan Zhifu's hands were not clean, and he even disregarded people's lives in private, colluding with businessmen to seek money, but it was a pity that the other party hid the evidence very secretly.
Xiao Hanyin's subordinates investigated for two days, but they couldn't find any clues, and he was always worried about it.
If Governor Pan is in this position for one more day, some people will be harmed by him......
After Liu Qingshao ordered someone to release the news, the owner of the restaurant found her directly the next day.
However, Liu Qingshao didn't see him at all, but asked the shopkeeper to stop him.
She felt that it would be a bit deliberate to let the other party see her too easily.
The shopkeeper knew him, after all, they had always been competitors.
In order to grab business, the other party can be said to do everything, and even almost used strong means to buy shares in their restaurant, but they directly went back.
After a few words of greeting with the shopkeeper, he asked the other party to report to Liu Qingshao.
The shopkeeper eradicated Liu Qingshao's meaning, and secretly sarcastically mocked him a few words, and he was so angry that he almost brushed his sleeves away......
