During the rest time of every nine days, Qi Xiaoyang went to Laishui Mansion, and Mian Kun heard that it was the child who sold wine who asked to see him, so he quickly summoned him. [Ran^Text^Library] "Little one, after so many days, I haven't seen you bring wine? I'm about to send someone to the north of the city to find you." Mian Kun put down the official document in his hand, and his tone of voice was very lively.

"I'm sorry Lord Mian, but a batch of wine has been brewed a long time ago, but unfortunately all of them have been smashed. Qi Xiaoyang took over the conversation and took the opportunity to explain the process of the tax collection Si Ji Jilu and a group of people who wanted to forcibly rob the wine that day, but he smashed the wine vat in a fit of anger.

"It's not like that! I don't even let go of a child, and these people are too much. Mian Kun slapped the table and looked angry: "Go, I will personally accompany you to the tax collection department today, let them register you well, and see who dares to embarrass you in the future!"

His subordinates immediately pulled out a turtle horse with purple spots, which was the only four-colored horse in Laishui City, and it was brought by Mian Kun when he was released from the capital. Mian Kun got on the horse and sat down, and took a group of entourages and Qi Xiaoyang to the tax collection department, which was only one street away.

When they arrived at the ground, the first and second deputy directors of the tax collection department were reported, and they were waiting at the door of the hall with their hands down. "Shallow water Zhan, you are so bold, grab something and grab someone's head!"

The shallow water Zhan was the chief director who was standing at the head, and he trembled with fright when he heard this: "Where do you start with this, Lord Mian?

Mian Kun dismounted and stood still, and said with a sneer: "Is it? Then why did people go outside the northern city and forcibly confiscate the feather flower wine customized by my crown?"

"Is there such a thing? Please make it clear to your lordship, which kind of daring guy did it, I will definitely investigate and deal with it strictly!" "Shallow Water Zhan was originally an official who favored Mian Kun's side, but he had not been in the Tax Collection Department for a long time, and he had not yet fully gained a foothold, so he was inevitably squeezed by Zhuo Ne, the deputy director of the Huo Lashan forces, and he was worried that he would not have a chance to win over Mian Kun.

Mian Kun beckoned to Qi Xiaoyang, who was standing behind him, and said, "You come up and tell this Lord Shallow Water who brought someone to grab the wine that day." ”

Qi Xiaoyang took a few steps forward, saluted to Shallow Water Zhan's chest, and said, "Go back to Lord Shallow Water, the one who takes the lead is called Ji Jilu!"

Shallow Shui Zhan's heart was overjoyed, but his face suddenly turned cold: "Lord Zhuo, Ji Jilu seems to be the head of the brewing section that you value the most, right?

Zhuo Ne glanced at the subordinates standing on both sides, and roared angrily: "Ji Jilu, you get out of here!" Although Zhuo Ne followed Horashan and did not buy Mian Kun's account in secret, but Mian Kun was the leader of Laishui City after all, as long as he grasped the handle, he could be relieved of his position as deputy director immediately, and he would not dare to fight against Mian Kun in the open with three dares.

Ji Jilu, who was hiding behind the people, came to the front of the aisle in a panic, and his speech became uneasy: "Back to the words of a few adults, that little child has not been registered, I was ordered to take someone to investigate and deal with it, I don't know if it is a place that Lord Mian cares about, I, I"

"A bunch of nonsense!" "Shallow Water Zhan reprimanded: "According to the law of Laishui, the newly opened brewery can be tested first and then registered, and the brewing department should first notify the owner to handle it, and if it is not registered after three months, it has the right to seal it up, Ji Jilu, are you doing it according to the law?"

Ji Jilu broke out in a cold sweat: "Back to my lord, I am also acting on orders!"

"Who's order?, Ji Jilu, you have to think about this clearly!" "Zhuo Nee snatched the words and stared at Ji Jilu fiercely.

Ji Jilu peeked at Zhuo Ne, his lips moved, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and finally lowered his head: "It's a humble opinion, and I am willing to bear the punishment." ”

Asamizu Zhan asked unwillingly: "Ji Jilu, do you know the consequences of this? Abuse of power will be dismissed, don't make a mistake yourself!"

"I understand that I am the master of my own work, please discuss the punishment of a few adults!" Ji Jilu knew that if he bit out the behind-the-scenes command Zhuo Nelai, although he could escape the current hurdle, he would be even more sad in the future, and it would be better to resist by himself, and he could still end up with personal favors.

Seeing that he was unwilling to bite out Zhuo Ne, he was helpless for a while, so he had to announce: "Ji Jilu abused his power and enforced the law unfairly, so he will be removed from the post of head of the liquor section from now on, and he will be used by the general staff members, and the feather flower wine that has been confiscated in violation of regulations will be ordered to be returned to the original owner! I, Shallow Water Zhan and Deputy Director Zhuo Ni, are both responsible for not being strict in their governance, and inform the whole department and the whole department to introspect! Lord Zhuo, what do you think of this treatment? Lord Mian, do you think it is okay to punish such a lowly position?"

Zhuo Ne breathed a sigh of relief, Ji Jilu was fortunate that he didn't bite him out in person, where did he dare to protect this subordinate again: "Lord Shallow Water is fair, and there is nothing to say about his humble position." ”

"I have something to say!" Mian Kun sneered: "This small wine shop is responsible for the official reception of my government, but I promised the four princes of the capital to pay him a tribute this month, and now there is no wine available because of your violation of the law, Ji Jilu, how do you plan to remedy it?"

Ji Jilu's face turned into a bitter melon: "My lord, I am willing to compensate!"

"Compensation? Okay! Give you three days, send me two jars of the same feather flower wine to the mansion, and I will pay according to the price of one thousand gold and one jar, otherwise, I will send you to the fourth prince's mansion to pay the errand, hum!" Mian Kun flicked his sleeves after speaking, turned around and left.

Ji Jilu was shocked, and followed two steps and begged: "Lord Mian, this wine is the only one in Laishui, where can you let me go up and get two jars? I can use ten jars of special wine from other families to compensate, please be merciful!"

Mian Kunli didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to Qi Xiaoyang: "If you want to do the registration, go to the two adults, and if you encounter such a thing in the future, you will come to the government to find me immediately." Okay, leave two people to accompany the little brother to register, and the others will go home with me!"

Mian Kun took people away, and Qianshui Zhan immediately arranged for the original deputy section chief of the original brewing department to temporarily act as the section chief, and took Qi Xiaoyang to go through the registration procedures. Zone glanced coldly at the kid who had almost capsized today, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes before turning to leave.

Although Ji Jilu hated Qi Xiaoyang to death, he could only hide it deep in his heart, and he couldn't wait to treat him as a little ancestor on his face, although he had just been dismissed, he was still a member of the winemaking department, he diligently took Qi Xiaoyang to the reception area to sit, while pouring tea for him, he kept going down the low pile: "Little brother, what happened last time was that I couldn't stand you, I will make amends to you today, I will pay you the price for the broken wine, ah no, double the compensation, I just ask you to sell me two jars of wine to the lord of the mansion to pay the difference!" As he spoke, he took out a stack of prepared large banknotes and put them in front of Qi Xiaoyang.

Qi Xiaoyang only counted out the three thousand gold, and pushed the remaining half back: "Lord Ji Ji, how dare I take more of your money, please take care of these! As for the wine, you saw it all smashed with your own eyes last time, what can I sell to you?"

"Little brother, little ancestor, don't you have any inventory? You want to sell me some, you can make as much money as you want, and I tell you a secret, how about it?" Ji Jilu was in a hurry, if he really couldn't get the wine, and was taken to the palace of the prince in the capital to go to the top of the tank, how could he die, there would be no place to cry out.

"Secret?" Qi Xiaoyang looked at Ji Jilu strangely and said, "What secret is worth taking as a condition?"

Ji Jilu looked around at no one approaching, and said in a low voice: "Haven't you ever thought about it, why do I know here as soon as you get out of the wine? Also, how can I, a small section chief, be so bold to violate the law and confiscate your things?"

Qi Xiaoyang understood after a little thought, there would be no second person who informed, it must be Liehan, but Ji Jilu was still instructed by someone, which he didn't expect. "Okay, you tell me what's going on, I'll go back and look for it, maybe there is still some stock, it's hard to say, it's up to your luck." "In fact, the fermentation period of the grain in Qi Xiaoyang's cellar is almost here, and the wine will be there soon.

Ji Jilu is a personal essence, so naturally he will not fall for Qi Xiaoyang's little dang: "Little brother, master, don't embarrass me, when you give me wine, I will tell you everything, and I will never have any reservations, as long as you don't sell me." ”

"Alright then, come to my tavern next time you rest, and I'll try to get you a jar, and tell me when you see the wine." Qi Xiaoyang knew that this guy wouldn't scatter eagles if he didn't see rabbits.

Ji Jilu hurriedly said: "How can one altar do? Lord Mian wants two altars!"

Qi Xiaoyang saw that the person who helped him register had come over with the documents, stood up and said, "Then I can't help it, it's already very good to be able to put together a jar for you, that's it, Chief, you can go somewhere else and think of a way." ”

After completing the formalities and leaving the tax collection department, Qi Xiaoyang saw that it was still early, so he went back to the stone house to see the fermentation situation in the cellar pond, and at the same time bought a lot of food for Uncle Valin.

"You kid, there are a lot of places to spend money in school, why are you spending so much money to buy me so many things?" Uncle Valin was heartbroken when he saw that Qi Xiaoyang brought back a large bag of things to eat.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry about money, today I have gone to the tax collection department to complete the registration procedures, and we can drink again on the next rest day, and we will not live a poor life again, hehe!" Qi Xiaoyang didn't mention Ji Jilu's loss of money today, for fear that Uncle Valin would be frightened.

"Even if you have money, you have to think about when you don't have money, you are still young, you need money to start a family and start a business in the future, and it is serious to leave more back roads" Uncle Wallin's nagging reminded Qi Xiaoyang of his parents on the earth, and it was only half a year to calculate the days, but when he thought of his parents, Jiang Mengyao, Tian Tian and other relatives, he found that the feelings of longing were so strong, maybe this is the role of distance, distance produces beauty, and distance can also make love as strong as wine
