The more Master Qian listened, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and he couldn't help but interject after holding back: "Lord Prefect, I have been in business for 20 years, and I have never done anything against my word!" It is clear that some people are jealous that my business is good, and they want to come up with such a loss to bring disaster to me. ”

He said that he was thick-skinned and full of grievances, and Zhao Yanjiu grinded his teeth in the compartment and snorted secretly: Are you honest? Yongcheng will never find a second one who deceives and dominates the market!

When the elder brother is more serious about one thing or one person, he just leaves no room for it. Zhao Qingmiao saw that his expression was getting worse, shook his head, poured tea from himself, and listened attentively.

"Someone is jealous of you? Well, if there is such a person, who do you think it will be? Governor Tong was very patient, brushed his beard, and saw that Master Qian had no clue for a while, so he asked a few other people.

"Tell me, who did you hear the news of the Qian family's shop?"

The men looked at each other, scratching their ears and cheeks.

"Hey, I heard from the iron-striker."

"I'll listen to the pig's head seller."

In short, it's a blind hearing. No matter who was the first, anyway, the words went around the city, and the people took it seriously.

This matter is obvious, but Master Qian finally stretched his brows, his hand hung down at his side and straightened his waist, and his expression gradually relaxed.

Tong Zhifu actually had a spectrum in his heart, and looked at the small door of the compartment casually, suppressed his throat and wanted to laugh, and said with a straight face: "It is not advisable to spread falsehoods, and this official will not be held accountable if you are not sincere in making trouble." Qian Youliang, can you agree? ”

"Agree, agree! The prefect was right. It's nonsense, how can the Qian family shop sell goods at a low price? Doesn't this smash your own job! "Master Qian's temperament was supposed to be investigated, but it didn't do him any good if this matter got out of trouble, so he just left it at that.

Ji Yunli has been silent, making people almost forget his existence. However, Bai Zhou changed his robe and changed his sitting posture, squinted his eyes and suddenly asked him: "What do you think?" ”

Ji Yunli's face was pale, and he lowered his body slightly and whispered: "I'm afraid, it's greasy." ”

Looking up again, his eyes fell slightly to the Tong Governor's Mansion, and when he saw that his expression was really sick, he bent the corners of his mouth.

Qian Youliang in the hall was about to give a salute to retire, when he heard the voice of the Tong prefect and shouted: "Slow." ”

Qian Youliang looked back in confusion, looked at Tong Zhifu a little inexplicably and asked, "I don't know what else is going on with adults?" ”

"Come on, take the money down." Governor Tong suddenly sank his face, frightened Qian Youliang so much that he knelt down and begged for mercy, dragged his knees forward a few steps to the stage, shook his head like a sieve, and said, "My lord, isn't this case over?" I didn't do anything, did I? ”

Governor Tong snorted coldly, his eyes were like torches, and he took out a bit of the majesty that an official deserves: "This case is indeed over, and this official arrested you because of another case." You deliberately hoard cotton to raise prices, at least it is not good for the people in the market, and at worst, you are ignoring the law! You make a lot of money alone, but you make others suffer? The market price is the foundation of stabilizing the people's livelihood, and the people's business is the court's business! According to the law, the money family can be copied! ”

Master Qian froze for a moment as if he had been clicked, and his brain sank as if he had been knocked out by a hammer. The eyes are blank, and the expression is fearful.

- Raiding the house? Whose house is it raiding? My home? No, no, no, no!

Bai Zhou looked at Governor Tong with a little approving, and smiled at him. Although he is of high rank, he doesn't like to play official, and he doesn't take a stand, and occasionally pretends to be a smiling tiger like his father, which is enough to scare others.

The prefect of Tong saw it, even though he was excited in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be humble on his face, so he stepped forward again.

Only Ji Yunli, I don't know which word he heard, instantly lowered his eyes, his fingertips tightened and even his bones turned white for a moment, and then he loosened the ground, and the expression was very dark when he pressed down the corners of his mouth.

Next, the people who watched were dumbfounded. The old man Qian desperately begged for mercy, and when he saw that he was going to be dragged into prison by the messenger, he immediately cried tears and snot, and desperately grabbed the soldier's thigh and said: The Qian family shop was supposed to sell goods at a low price, but he was confused for a while before he denied it......

This change, even if Master Qian is distressed, it is better to cut meat than to raid the house!

In the end, the prefect of Tong didn't really arrest people and go to jail, but just ordered him to sell goods at market prices in the future, but he still had to be severely punished for the malicious hoarding of goods before, so as to set an example for other merchants in Yongcheng......

The case was only now over, and the prefect of the Xiangtong Mansion was being praised by Bai Zhou, and in the compartment, Zhao Qingmiao was also looking at Zhao Yanjiu.

"Brother, did you ask someone to do the rumor?"

Stared straight by her pair of clear eyes, Zhao Yan didn't feel weak for a long time, but raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I won't tell you, I'm just here to avenge you." The prefect Tong knew about this from beginning to end. The Qian family is not a good person, you can rest assured! ”

Using the Tong Prefect's Mansion as a shield, Zhao Qingmiao had nothing to say, and it was Master Qian who took the blame for this matter. When the father suffered such a big loss, the rich man would definitely not dare to publicize it outside.

"And the kid who was going to tie you up, and explained the proposition that everything is surnamed Qian. Governor Tong told me to settle things, what do you think? If you want to pursue it, my brother will help you. ”

After thinking about it, Zhao Qingmiao put down the teacup.

"Well, after all, they didn't tie it up. In the future, I will have a heart. ”

After watching the play, Zhao Yanjiu pushed Zhao Qingmiao's shoulder and walked out.

Someone shook his robe from the corner of the corridor and walked around without hesitation.

"Zhao Gongzi, Miss Zhao."

Ji Yunli bowed his head, and smiled at them.

The brother and sister were stunned, Zhao Yanjiu had a straight face, raised his hand and saluted him back.

"You are?"

"Mr. Ji, it's the master of the case—"

Zhao Qingmiao wanted to remind his brother on the side, but he couldn't say exactly, so he had to purse his lips and pause.

Ji Yunli looked at her and replied with an understatement: "It's just a staff." ”

The brother and sister looked at each other silently, and their hearts and minds were together.

Look at his temperament is a little tougher than Confucianism, he should be a decisive worker. Zhao Qingmiao knew best in his heart that this person was not an ordinary person. Otherwise, he ran to Qingchuan Island alone and risked, pretending to be dumb so that no one could see it, which shows his courage and forbearance.

Thinking of the jade pendant, Zhao Qingmiao hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Ji, for sending someone to return the jade pendant to me, and when Mr. is empty, he must reward me with a face." ”

This is a polite rhetoric, it is not appropriate to give silver, and it is most practical to have a drink.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yunli responded without thinking about it.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today."

Zhao Qingmiao was slightly surprised when he heard it: I thought he would be tactful and reserved, but he seemed to be waiting here on purpose. But if you think about it, at most you want some money, right?

Zhao Yanjiu looked at Ji Yunli and had a thought in his heart, and quickly picked up the conversation: "That's right, Mr. Ji has a straightforward temperament, and he doesn't talk around like an official family." I want to entertain my sister well, I don't know if Mr. has taboos? ”
