Chapter 43 Accepting bribes
"Hurry up and leave, is the county office the place where you should come as a woman?" When the official saw her, his face was full of impatience.
"I'm here to deal with the seizure of the shop on behalf of the owner of Yipinxiang, please send my eldest brother to be accommodating!" Bai Linxia secretly stuffed silver for him.
However, the man's face changed slightly, and then he accepted her money as usual.
"For the sake of the silver, let me remind you a few words!" The official lowered his voice and said, "This matter is not something you can solve, don't waste your time!" ”
"Why?" Bai Linxia felt that he had something to say.
"Let's go, if it's someone else, you're afraid you'll have to suffer!" The man took her money, and did not go too far.
However, Bai Linxia was finally driven away by the officials, and she was angry.
She has been doing business in her duty and has never crossed the bottom line, why did the people from the county government close her shop, and even let her see the face of the Lan County Order?
The more Bai Linxia thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, but she was weak and had no way to unseal the shop.
In the afternoon, when she returned to the village, she kept thinking about how to deal with this matter.
Lan County Ling is the parent official of a county, the official position does not seem to be high, but he holds the power of life and death on this side of the land, unless she can find a person with a higher official position than him to put pressure, otherwise her shop is likely to be closed permanently.
The original owner's family has been living in Peach Blossom Village and doesn't know any big people at all.
Now, the only powerful person she knows is Feng Beiting, but Bai Linxia is hesitating whether to go to him for help.
Favor debt is the most difficult thing to repay, if it is not necessary, she really does not want to owe others favors.
Bai Linxia was entangled in his heart, and he ran out of ideas for a while.
"Be careful!" She kept thinking about the shop, but she didn't pay attention to her feet at all, and almost tripped over a stone.
Shen Qianchen, who happened to pass by, rescued her.
"Thank you!" Bai Linxia, who came back to his senses, immediately thanked him.
"Are you in trouble with such a fascination?" Shen Qianchen noticed that her expression was not quite right.
In the past, Bai Linxia had always been full of confidence, but today there was a hint of sadness between her eyebrows, and it seemed that she had encountered difficulties.
"My shop has been seized!" After Bai Linxia met him, he couldn't help but tell what happened before.
In fact, she really needs someone to confide in her inner troubles.
As the owner of the shop, she can't express the irritability and uneasiness in her heart.
The family thought that she was working in the town, and this kind of thing could not be said, in case the rest of the Bai family knew about it.
Bai Linxia could only suppress everything in her heart, and now after meeting Shen Qianchen, she couldn't help but pour out her thoughts.
"I'm guessing someone is behind this!" Shen Qianchen frowned slightly.
"Actually, I think so too, but I can't even see the Lan County Order, let alone find out who framed me behind it!" Before, Bai Linxia had always felt that as long as she did what was within her reach, she knew how important power was.
"Lan County's order did not come forward, it is very likely that he accepted bribes and deliberately looked for someone to seize your shop!" Shen Qianchen analyzed.
After all, Lan Xian Ling didn't know that the owner of the shop was Bai Linxia, and there was no situation where he deliberately made things difficult for her.
The only explanation is that someone is trying to break her.
"Damn, if I find out, I must make him look good!" Bai Linxia's eyes were full of anger.
No matter what the matter is, the other party's use of shady tricks is shameful!
"With the current situation, if the Lan County Order does not loosen its mouth, your shop can only be sealed forever, what are your plans?" Shen Qianchen saw her angry appearance, and her eyes darkened.
"If that's the case, I can only go to Feng Gongzi!" Except for Feng Beiting, she didn't know any other powerful people at all.
Although Lan County's order was seeking money, Bai Linxia didn't want to send him the money he earned.
The kind of person who only values interests and completely ignores the people, Bai Linxia will never bow to him.
"I know a nobleman, his official position is two levels higher than the Lan County Order, I have helped him treat, if you need it, I can help you introduce him!" Shen Qianchen saw her frowning, and felt a little unhappy.
"Really?" Hearing this, Bai Linxia's starry eyes were overflowing with gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Shen, you are really my nobleman!" ”
Bai Linxia didn't realize at all how ambiguous his words were in Shen Qianchen's ears.
Their speeches were very subtle, but Bai Linxia was enthusiastic and straightforward, although Shen Qianchen knew that she was simply expressing her feelings for herself, but she couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart.
Ever since Bai Linxia had the silver in her hand, she had never treated herself harshly, and she had spent a lot of effort to maintain her face.
Although she has lost her memory, she remembers how to use food to make natural face masks.
Bai Linxia's face and body now look much better than when she first wore it.
However, although her skin is a little whiter, Bai Linxia has been deliberately suppressing it, otherwise with the best of the Bai family, she will definitely find fault......
Shen Qianchen quickly suppressed the ripples in her heart and returned to the village directly with her.
The next day, Bai Linxia immediately went to find Fengbei Pavilion.
She knew that Shen Qianchen would definitely do what she said, but what she wanted to do was not just unseal her shop......
"Haven't you always been in the shop at this hour?" When Feng Beiting saw her, a trace of surprise flashed in his deep eyes.
"Yipinxiang was seized by the people of the county government, and I want to ask Feng Gongzi to help find evidence of Lan County's bribery!" Bai Linxia bluntly stated the purpose of his coming.
She doesn't like to beat around the bush, and she has a cooperative relationship with Feng Beiting.
"You want to deal with the Lan County Order?" Feng Beiting raised his eyebrows, he had never seen such a bold woman, who had no power and no power to want to bring down the county order.
"Ask for whatever you want!" Bai Linxia has never liked to suffer losses.
Lan County ordered people to accept bribes and attack her shop at will, and she couldn't swallow this breath.
"In a few days, I will go to Yangzhou, where there will be a business meeting, and then our rivals of the Feng family will also appear!"
After listening to her words, Feng Beiting immediately said, "If you can help me design two sets of clothes and accessories that are fashionable and can attract the attention of the audience, I will do my best to help you!" ”
Feng Beiting admires Bai Linxia's talent very much, she is like a treasure that can surprise people at any time.
"Deal!" Designing two outfits was a trivial task for her, and she had a lot of styles in her mind that didn't appear here.
Using her brainpower in exchange for evidence that Lan County Ling accepted bribes, Bai Linxia felt that it was worth it.
After the two reached an agreement, Feng Beiting immediately sent someone to secretly investigate.
Soon, he found a few people who wanted to secretly target Bai Linxia.
His people also found out that the person who bought the Lan County Order,
Wang Chenxu once used gangsters to deal with Bai Linxia, and if he didn't succeed, he had another plan.
Bai Linxia's shop was sealed, and he was making an obstacle in it, and Feng Beiting immediately ordered someone to arrest the other party.
After the other party was controlled, he quickly explained what he had done.
After Feng Beiting's people got the testimony, they immediately handed it over to Shen Qianchen.
In this matter, it is not good for Feng Beiting to come forward directly, otherwise his cooperation with Bai Linxia is very likely to leak out.
Bai Linxia is a base code in his hand, and Feng Beiting doesn't want others to know.
After Shen Qianchen got the testimony, he directly handed it over to the superior of the Lan County Order.
He knew the power of the Feng family, and he knew very well that he could get the testimony so soon......
Two days later, Bai Linxia's shop was unsealed, and the people from the county government took off the seal in person.
Bai Linxia immediately asked the shopkeeper and his men to clean up the shop, and reopened it three days later.
When something like this happens, she has to do something, otherwise some timid guests won't come to Yipinxiang easily.
The next day, Bai Linxia looked for someone to inquire about the news, and found that Lan Xianling had not been arrested at all.
She felt that something was strange, so she went directly to Shen Qianchen.
Bai Linxia is a jealous and hateful person, and Lan County ordered to secretly accept benefits and seize her shop.
Now that the East Window incident happened, he didn't have anything to do, and Bai Linxia was not angry.
"You're here for the Lan County Order?" As soon as Shen Qianchen saw her, he guessed her thoughts.
"Yes, I wonder why he is safe?" The crime of accepting bribes is still quite serious in this dynasty.
Bai Linxia thought that even if the Lan County Order did not lose his position, he would be punished, but she didn't hear the slightest news about him.
"He has been in office for four years, and there has been no major incident in the county, and the amount of bribes he accepted this time is not large, and it has not yet reached the point of dismissal!" Shen Qianchen solved her doubts.
"Lan County Ling can do this kind of thing for a few hundred taels of silver, I don't believe he hasn't accepted bribes before!" Bai Linxia bit his lip and said.
"We don't have any evidence in our hands, after all, he is the parent official of the county!" Shen Qianchen knew that she was uncomfortable.
However, some things are not as simple as they seem.
He knew that Bai Linxia was uncomfortable and wanted to bring down the Lan County Order, but it was not yet time.
The hands of each magistrate are more or less not very clean, and the imperial court has never vigorously pursued this matter.
What's more, what Lan County Ling did was not enough to sentence!
"He's been disciplined?" Bai Linxia's eyes flashed.
"Although Lan County Ling has not been arrested, he has been targeted by his superiors for accepting bribes, and his next days will not be too smooth!" A person who has made a name in a superior place will never go further in the future, unless he can make merits.
Hearing this, Bai Linxia's heart felt a little more comfortable.
She knew that this world was not so simple, and there were even some gray areas, but Bai Linxia always believed in the laws of the DPRK and China.
After this battle, her mood changed a lot.
After Bai Linxia went back, she was not in a good mood, and this incident had a lot of impact on her.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Bai Wanqiu saw that she was wandering, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
Since the Sun family retired, her sister has completely changed, not only is she no longer allowed to be kneaded by the people in the second and third rooms, but she has also found a job in the town.
Bai Wanqiu admired her sister very much.
"Nothing!" Bai Linxia touched her head dotingly, and she was happy to see that her face finally had some flesh.
However, Bai Wanqiu's body is still very weak, and now that they have not left the Bai family, Bai Linxia cannot make up for her body openly.
"Xia'er, have you been wronged by the owner?" Li Cuifen found that she was exceptionally silent today.
I heard that people who work outside are very hard, not only do they not have a break, but they are often counted out by the owner.
Li Cuifen felt from the bottom of her heart that she didn't want her daughter to suffer that sin.
