The prefect has a great headache today. Early in the morning, someone came to report to the authorities.

Of course, as a magistrate, generally speaking, you will not be troubled by lawsuits, and lawsuits are actually very welcome to officials. After eating the plaintiff and the defendant, even the neighbors, relevant witnesses, etc., can be locked in prison to await trial, and then wait for people to pay for ransom. In addition to making a lot of money, up and down, sharing the rain and dew, everyone gets some benefits, which is one of the favorite things of being an official.

What's more, the lawsuit that came to sue this time was still known by the prefect early in his heart.

The Daimyo's Mansion is also a prosperous town, whether it is a merchant or a powerful person, the conflict of forces, the struggle for power and profit, and other things are inevitably in the eyes of the superiors, and the chaos in the business world is easier to be controlled by their power, and the more disputes there are, the more opportunities they have to profit from it.

Those old merchants who often come and go have said hello and hinted in the morning. After many years of old relationships, they have a tacit understanding in each other's hearts, and they also know that the new group of people who have been recruited in the past year are too strong, and it is only a matter of time before they suffer.

If something really happens, if they don't find the government, then they just don't see it, if they really make trouble with the government, they will drag him for two or three months, and then put on an official threat to scare him, bluff out some filial piety, and then make peace with the mud, and each play fifty boards, that's it.

However, the way the other party sued the official this time was a bit unexpected by the prefect.

Early in the morning, hundreds of people gathered outside the yamen, crying and pleading, and the sound of miserable cries and grief was heard in the whole city. All the wounded were either covered in blood and dying and carried by people on wooden shelves, or their whole bodies, one in the east and one in the west, were tightly wrapped, as if they were missing an arm or a broken leg, and the wounds were extremely severe.

These ordinary coolies, men, boatmen, mostly poor families, this strong labor is injured like this, and when they fall, the whole family naturally seems to be scattered.

The weak wives and old mothers and young children in the family were all thunderous, supporting the injured one by one, kneeling outside the yamen, crying that they wanted to live or die. Everyone said that there was no strong labor in the family, and the whole family had no way to live, and begged the master of Qingtian to be the master.

Such a huge momentum actually blocked the entire street, and the outside of the yamen was densely packed, kneeling with old people, women, and children, as well as the wounded who groaned and screamed at every turn.

Such a big bustle attracted good people from all over the world to gather to watch.

The old and weak who cried and begged preached their grievances in public, talking about the injured people present, which one is not a good person who behaves in a proper manner, and which one is not a diligent and old man, who suffered for no reason, and now the family can't live. It is said that all of them are full of tears, coupled with the wails of the wounded, it is really sad for the viewers and tears for the hearers.

Even strangers shook their heads and sighed, looking at this hellish scene on earth, they felt a deep indignation at those bullying businessmen who beat people.

In fact, in the past few years, there have never been fewer things about bullying and dominating the market, bullying the people, and beating and hurting people, but those things, in a single case, everyone just talked about it, listened to it, and forgot it in a blink of an eye.

And now, hundreds of serious injuries are gathered together, and hundreds of families are about to be destroyed in the blink of an eye, and they are placed in front of them together, and the visual impact and spiritual shock are too great, and no one can be untouched.

For a time, the entire Daimyo's Mansion was rumoring about this major event.

And the head of the prefect is much bigger because of this.

Even if he is a high-ranking official, such a big scene really scares him. Seeing that the matter has spread, he can't suppress it if he wants to, and if he can't handle it properly, it will be a great blow to his official reputation and achievements.

sent the master out to persuade him, claiming that the government has the rules of the government, and the official is to be arranged, but the people who did it cried and shouted, and they didn't dare to break the rules of the master, but the man in the family was seriously injured and couldn't come up with money for treatment, and the family had no income, and they were going to starve to death in a blink of an eye.

sent the officials to arrest and drive away, but unfortunately these guys who are like wolves and tigers on weekdays, beat prisoners, scare the lord, and dare not do anything, but this time, watching hundreds of people crying and screaming together, either they were injured and only had one breath left, or the old lady who couldn't walk two steps on the road, or they were weak women who cried breathlessly, and there were even more than a dozen little dolls, so how dare they go up and drive them away, and make a three-long and two-short, this matter is so big, no one wants to take this responsibility.

The prefect originally thought that the merchants who had suffered losses would come to sue and that they could knock a sum of money hard, but the merchants did not come to sue the case of being smashed and robbed, but these poor men who were beaten came to sue one after another in the name of being innocent and seriously injured.

The prefect was so angry that he sent their boss to the table and ordered him to discipline his men.

However, before his detention order arrived, these bosses, large and small, rushed over and took the initiative to beg all the bitter masters who complained to disperse first and not to embarrass the government.

As a result, they were scolded by a group of old ladies, everyone said that they fought their own lawsuits, and they couldn't ask for justice from the Qingtian lord, and their hundreds of families had to starve to death.

The big and small bosses cried and howled, this said that the store was smashed, and the shouting goods were robbed, in short, not only did they have no money, but they also owed a lot of debts to others, and they didn't know where to pay it back.

In this way, the problem was thrown back to the prefect.

At this time, there was also a merchant surnamed Mo from Ying Tianfu, who came in with a complaint, claiming that they were shipped from Ying Tianfu as promised

Several ships of goods of the merchant have been ruined, and the boatmen have been seriously injured, and they have sent people to respond to the report of the Tianfu General Chamber of Commerce, and now they have come to ask the daimyo prefect to administer justice.

What is Yingtianfu? The capital. Should the goods come out of the Tianfu General Chamber of Commerce, and should the boatmen of the Tianfu General Chamber of Commerce? How can this case be suppressed and put aside, if it is not handled well, and it spreads in the capital, the future will be dim.

The prefect was angry, angry and helpless, hiding in the inner office and not daring to go out, circling around the flower hall, slapping the table and viciously scolding Yongfeng and other merchants. If the business is not going well, it is just a matter of teaching people a lesson, how dare you make such a big move, more than 100 people, all of them were seriously injured, this is too arrogant, and why don't you even check the origin of people's goods, just do it casually, it's too much.

It's just that this scolding is scolding, hate is hate, and this lawsuit can't be delayed. Now that the momentum is so big and the news spreads so fast, not only must it be judged, but it must also be judged fairly, otherwise it will be unreasonable on the official face, and a mishandling, the impeachment of the imperial history, and the evaluation of the officials can block his bright future.

But if you really have to deal with it ruthlessly, it will definitely offend the four big local businesses. Not to mention that after so many years, the old friendship is indeed not shallow, even if you don't care about the situation, you have to take care of the interests. No matter how great the prestige of the official family is, if he really turns his face over with the merchants, I am afraid that the prosperity of this place will not be maintained.

The poor prefect almost smoothed out the floor tiles of the flower hall by an inch, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Take my post, go and invite Lord Lu to meet." ”

At the right time, a family member was walking quickly to the front of the flower hall to give a salute: "My lord, Lord Lu is handing a note outside the door to ask for a meeting." “

When one of the parents was sitting on pins and needles, all the big bosses behind the scenes of the bitter lord were holding a banquet on the upper floor of Deyue, waiting for the guests who might not come at all.

Deyue Tower can be regarded as the largest business of Shura in the local area, the most luxurious restaurant, and the most gorgeous rooms in the back garden, which illustrates the fact that this high-rise building, and the guests who come and go are either rich or expensive.

Deyue Tower is also the location of the Shura sect's local branch altar, because there are usually a lot of people, so when it was impacted this time, it was not listed as an attack target.

Of course, this can also be barely counted as the luck of the attacker.

Because this time, Fu Hanqing, Di Yi Di Jiu, and a group of top players from the general altar all live here, if someone really doesn't know how to attack alive or dead, the end is conceivable.

Today, Deyue Building is closed, and the most luxurious banquet is set up, waiting for the guests who may not come to the door.

At the huge banquet, only Di Jiu was the only one who poured himself a drink.

Even Duan Tiancheng and Qi Hao were just standing aside.

Di Jiu drank casually, his eyes were indifferent, looking at the jade cup and jade liquor, his heart was melancholy, but what he was thinking about was Fu Hanqing.

That monster actually came up with such a strange trick.

All the wounded were gathered overnight, and the seriously wounded were pretended to be more severe, and the lightly wounded were to be dressed as seriously wounded, and even if the little finger was scratched a little skin, it was necessary to bandage the whole arm heavily, crying and howling and claiming to be crippled. In this way, those who rub the east and the west are also counted as wounded, and if you count them casually, there are hundreds of people.

Then, search the old and weak women and children of each family, and if there is no one in the house, look for it from your relatives. In short, the more people you call, the better. I promised to give everyone how much money I would give for every hour of crying in front of the yamen, and who cried the best, screamed the loudest, made the most noise, and had an additional reward. Teach them how to speak, how to speak, and how to make trouble overnight, and be sure to say that they are as pitiful as they are, but they must not let the government hold on to them and use the reason to make trouble to drive them away.

It also taught them how to deal with official persuasion or coercion, and to take the initiative as much as possible.

Before dawn, everyone set off. I don't want a strong male relative, I pick the oldest, weakest, youngest and most pitiful, and follow the past with a bang.

All the way to preach, all the way to cry. Blocked the entrance of the yamen.

With such an important commercial town as the Daimyofu, there are many people coming and going in various prefectures and prefectures, and this news can be spread to all places.

In addition, Mo Guan is a person from Ying Tianfu's side. Yingtian Altar can be regarded as the longest and best place in the entire Zhao Kingdom's five altars. Now the power of the branch has occupied a place in the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce, and more than a dozen different shops have been opened in the capital.

simply asked Steward Mo to sue the official in the name of the Yingtian Chamber of Commerce, and wrote on the pleadings that he had sent someone to respond to the message from Tianfu.

Things have come to this point, Ren is the prefect has great courage, and those old businessmen have a big face, and this case can't be suppressed.

Although it is extremely faceless for people in the rivers and lakes to find the government when they encounter trouble, it is not a shame to make such a fuss about making things so vigorous that even the government has forced them to such a point, but to become famous.

Even everyone up and down the altar was full of excitement and joy at this time, and they kept their eyes open and waited to see what happened to the enemies. Di Jiu only had bitterness in his heart.

Although Fu Hanqing only put forward a general opinion, the detailed arrangement and detailed planning of the whole thing were still from the hands of Di Jiu, Duan Tiancheng and Qi Hao, but this incident made Di Jiu have to look at Fu Hanqing.

It wasn't that person who wasn't smart enough, didn't know how to stratagem, didn't know the world. All his naivety, all his stupidity, is nothing more than because he is too lazy,

Too lazy, so there is no wisdom and too lazy to think, so there is no strategy, but too lazy to design, so, knowing the world, but

Right.

It really forced him to be anxious, forced him to think seriously and face it hard, he can also make this strange move, one blow will achieve the goal, and one blow will hit the point.

Along the way, I handled everything by myself, controlled all the power, and accepted every talent, and for the first time, I really stood in a high position, swayed vertically and horizontally, and showed my talents. It's not that you don't be proud, it's not that you don't secretly rejoice and be satisfied. However, it turned out that it was not Fu Hanqing who needed Di Jiu's help, but Fu Hanqing was too lazy, so he pushed everything to a stand-in named Di Jiu.

Anytime, as long as he is active, as long as he is suddenly as serious about it, then everything can still be easily taken back.

So, what is that Di Jiu who has shed blood and sweat for more than ten years and suffered a lot? What is that Di Jiu who has worked hard and worked hard along the way?

Di Jiu silently raised his glass and drank it all.

It's deep down in my heart that I don't want Fu Hanqing to suddenly take the limelight, so I want to do something, right?

That's why they will send people to post to other businesses in the city. Would you like to come and have a meeting?

Therefore, I would like to express my stance in front of all businessmen that they only want to do business with peace of mind and have no intention of making trouble, and although they will not tolerate any provocations, they will not wantonly attack the positions of others.

In any case, it is absolutely unwise to go against the shopping malls of the entire Daimyo Mansion with a newly discovered force, and everyone is safe and working together to make money, which is the best of both worlds.

It's just that now, the matter is so big, the government has not yet judged, who wins and who loses, the results have not yet come out, and those merchants who did not participate in this rush may not be willing to come out to his banquet on the cusp.

The time agreed on by the post has passed, and the table full of good dishes has long been cold. Di Jiu got up slowly, and was about to wave everyone away, but he heard someone downstairs shouting: "Changlong Boss Yang is coming to the banquet." ”

I didn't expect someone to come, even Di Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, slightly different. Duan Tiancheng was the person in charge of the local area, and immediately went downstairs to greet him.

Changlong is not the oldest or most powerful merchant in the Daimyo Mansion, or the most comfortable merchant in the official face, but it is undoubtedly the most stable status and the most stable business in the Daimyo Mansion.

The most rare thing is that Changlong has done so much business, and it has never caused trouble, never made enemies, and has never been involved in any turmoil.

Of course, with the Changlong's stable and rock-solid style of doing things, it is impossible to come to the appointment before things are clear.

Wouldn't it be so obvious to go to the appointment, wouldn't it offend the other big businesses that made a move?

However, although Duan Tiancheng was suspicious in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off, and when he came downstairs, he saw a surprisingly large carriage at a glance, and the person standing in front of the car was Boss Yang of the Changlong.

Duan Tiancheng hurriedly greeted him: "I didn't expect Boss Yang to appreciate his face so much, it's really unwelcome." ”

Boss Yang returned the salute with a smile: "Boss Duan is polite, it's not that I'm coming down, but that the big owner of my Changlong has the heart to meet your owner for a while, so I came to pay a visit." ”

Duan Tiancheng was stunned, the owner of the Changlong had someone else, how could he not have heard of this before.

In the midst of this hesitation, the carriage door suddenly opened, and the situation inside the carriage was completely unclear.

The carriage was a comfortable room to move in.

Soft pillow for gums in the car, jade incense platform. A man in white reclined on top of the beauty, smiling and drinking the delicate wine that had been brought to his lips.

The man trimmed his eyebrows, Yinghua was outstanding, a glass of wine was exhausted, and he smiled slightly: "My surname is Feng, and Mr. Trouble will inform Guidong for me." ”
