Chapter 269 Go and support your eldest brother

Breeze Town! The largest and most prosperous restaurant - Qingfeng Building! The boss behind the scenes is Chao Gai. Some Chaojiazhuang secretly provide excellent wines and all kinds of new dishes. From the day of opening, customers gathered and business was booming.

In addition, the bulk sale of alcoholic beverages has led to a sharp increase in monthly income as sales channels have opened. Today, thousands of taels of snowflake silver can be received every month. Profitability has always been the top ten restaurants in Qingzhou.

The ancestral home is Dengzhou, and the money shopkeeper is old-fashioned and sleek. I have also been rewarded by the restaurant headquarters many times, and I thought I could lead the team to become bigger and stronger, but since I came to a new knowledge village, I broke the tranquility of the town.

This is a corrupt official who took office with a few rakes.

It is said that this Zhizhai was bought, and he has no ability, but he will be greedy for money. After the new official took office for three times, and within a month of taking office to understand the situation, he began to make money in a big way, setting up all kinds of clever names, forcing the wealthy families in the town to collect money and grain, and doubling the commercial taxes in the past.

If you don't give it to your neck, then play with it, and look for trouble in different ways. It's not that some military soldiers said that if they search for spies, there will be ruffians and hooligans who will come to find trouble. Anyway, it's a deliberate attempt to smash up your home or shop.

Blatant, lawless, and useless to report to the official.

Wuzhizhai Huarong, who is sitting in Qingfeng Village, has a bad relationship with the other party because of this matter. For a few months, the town's wealthy and merchants were convicted by the boss.

Qingfeng Restaurant is also affected!

It's not just that the amount of alcohol sold is decreasing every month, and the income is decreasing. The tax paid doubled, and even if the village store made a profit privately, its performance declined significantly.

If this is the case, the money shopkeeper will not have a headache, and he can endure it by gritting his teeth. However, the business of the restaurant is booming, and the best wine has attracted the peep of this Wenzhizhai. More than a month ago, someone was sent to forcibly ask for the brewing recipe.

Not to mention that the money shopkeeper doesn't know the principle of distillation technology, even if he knows this way of making money, how can he hand it over to others, so he directly refuses.

That is, from the beginning of rejection, trouble keeps coming to the door.

First of all, the tax revenue of Qingfeng Building has doubled again, one hundred taels of snowflake silver per month. In fact, there will always be ruffians who come to make trouble, and they are beaten by the guards, but they wander outside to drive away customers, which makes the number of drinkers drop sharply.

The most hateful thing is that every once in a while, there are soldiers who come to eat, and they leave without giving money. Or come to search, the tables and chairs are not damaged, and no birds are found.

In this case, Qingfeng Lou's business is getting worse!

The money shopkeeper sat at the counter and made an abacus, and when he settled the accounts, this month's income was not as much as half of last month's, and he relied on selling alcohol in bulk.

"Hey, these moths of the court will only bully the common people." The money shopkeeper looked at a pile of silver and yellow copper coins, and his fat face was a little helpless.

Several guards in the store thought that they had been beaten a lot during this time, and they were indignant: "The shopkeeper, those dogs are too bullying." ”

The money shopkeeper was about to say that the carrier pigeon had not yet been delivered, and the emergency backup could not be used! Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and then the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and several people rushed into the hotel, behaving a little strangely. After looking around the hall and seeing how many tables there were, he went straight to the counter.

"Money shopkeeper, someone from my hometown is here!"

"Who's from home?" How high the money shopkeeper, who was originally a little listless, jumped up. Three steps and two quick steps around the counter, eagerly asked.

"The old man is here, and he says you want a helper!"

The big man at the head took off his hat and smiled and reached out to shake hands with the money shopkeeper.

"Ouch, it's too timely, we were just saying, wait for someone from our hometown." Of course, the money shopkeeper knew who the old man was, and his face was full of excitement.

The big man at the head didn't ink, and went straight to the point: "The old man is on the way, we arrived first, quickly explain the situation, and pass the news over first." ”

The money shopkeeper nodded again and again, and pulled a few big men to a small pavilion. He asked the man to serve good tea, and spoke very quickly and softly about the situation. Immediately, several big men were furious and scolded.

"Money shopkeeper, how is the business? It's time to pay taxes this month! ”

At this time, the strange shouts of yin and yang sounded from outside the restaurant. Immediately afterward, a group of people swung their arms into the restaurant and shouted loudly.

……

In April, the temperature rises and becomes unusually warm.

After Chao Gai led the team to leave Erlong Mountain, he did not divide his troops, and more than 1,000 people were mighty. All the way non-stop, burying his head and running wildly. On the way, he only stopped to eat some dry food and set off, and just after that time, he crossed more than 100 miles.

also arrived at the destination, ten miles away from Qingfeng Village.

"Brother, do you want to set up camp here?" Chao Gilema stopped and looked at the secluded lake, and Han Shizhong next to him looked at it and understood.

Chao Gai let out an "um", and wanted to order to camp on the spot.

"Brother, why don't you go directly to Qingfeng Village?" Guo Sheng asked immediately.

Chen Hu patted his head and thought about it: "Yes, a ready-made military camp." Hua Zhizhai knew about his brother's move, and he would complain a few words if he didn't do it. ”

These two people came here once in a few months, and they also spent a lot of time in the Qingfengzhai military camp. How is it not clear about the relationship between the magistrate Huarong and Chao Gai? Now that he heard that Chao Gai planned to set up camp in the wild, he couldn't help but be full of doubts.

"Brother, I want to too! However, this time is different from the past, Qingfeng Village has changed! Chao Gai smiled, and then solemnly explained the reason for the beginning.

It turned out that a few months ago, when Maotou Xing Kong Liang was ordered to give snake meat to Hua Rong's family. I found that the breeze was full of lights and beaming. Later, I learned from Hua Rong that Qingfeng Village came to a Wenzhi Village.

is good to die or not, it is Liu Gao in the original trajectory.

Chao Gai knew that this person had no ability, and since he arrived, he had deceived some people in the countryside, practiced the law, and did everything, which made him complain, so he was at odds with Wuzhizhai Huarong, which was also what he was worried about.

After Guo Sheng understood his worries, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother! At this time, you should go even more and support General Hua for the scene. ”

"In my brother's words, give strong backing." Han Shizhong smiled coldly.

There were two people taking the lead, Chen Hu, Zhang San, Li Si, Han Yong and other generals spoke one after another: "That Liu has a backstage, and General Hua doesn't have it?" ”

"Let's just go over like this and give that Liu Gao a dismount."

"That's it, the old boy was not convinced, so he beat him."

……

The generals were all filled with righteous indignation, and everyone scrambled to persuade Chao Gai, and even shouted and killed. Anyway, everyone strongly agreed with the team to kill Qingfeng Village.

"You have a point, then let's go." Chao Gai really felt that this was the case, he used to hide, but now he has the holy decree in his arms, and he can wander around openly and recruit talents.

If Liu Gao is not convinced, he will be directly recruited to suppress the bandits.

And Jerodali, who had not spoken, reminded him that he had to go.

"Brother Ling Feng, according to what you said, this Wenzhi village is lawless and harms the rich families in the township. I'm afraid that our restaurant in Qingfeng Village will be affected. ”

Chao Gai hadn't thought about this problem before, but now that he listened to Yelu Tali's analysis, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the restaurant must be in trouble.

"Brother, the latest news, the latest news......" At this time, a ride flew from the direction of Qingfeng Village, and it was the return of the scout sent to Qingfeng Village.

"But what's wrong with the restaurant?" Chao Gai patted his horse and greeted him.

The scout came closer, saluted on the horse, and quickly reported: "Brother, let's contact the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Restaurant and find out ......."

Chao Gai listened to the recent situation of Qingfeng Restaurant, and his face was cloudy. Han Shizhong, Hu Sanniang, Guo Sheng and other generals opened their eyes angrily and gritted their teeth.

This is simply lawlessness, more hateful than bandits!

After Chao Gai figured out the details of Qingfengzhai Restaurant, he couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Hahaha, a big fart Zhizhai, what a big official!" ”

"Let's go, follow me to Qingfeng Town."

Chao Gai couldn't see joy or anger on his face, but his voice was terrifyingly cold. Beat the horse and whip the first to rush out. Behind him, Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng, Taishan and others led the team to follow. Everyone has a bad complexion, shouting and killing, and they are murderous.

Riding a horse galloped wildly, raising a puff of smoke and dust, murderous!

After the cavalry rushed over, two people suddenly jumped out of the roadside forest. One wears a hat crookedly, and the other shows his chest open, not like a serious person. Looking at the cavalry in the distance, they glanced at each other, and left like a fly.

……

A few months ago, Liu Gao, the newly appointed Wenzhizhai in Qingfeng Village, in order to make a lot of money, not only harmed the rich families and businessmen in the town, but also started the idea of paying the soldiers in the village. By taking advantage of his authority, the amount of money and food allocated was gradually reduced.

It's not enough for the daily needs of more than a thousand soldiers!

Wuzhizhai Huarong knew who did it, and he didn't bother to talk to this person. So much so that they had to pay out of their own pockets to fill this vacancy. However, this Liu Gao is insatiable, increasing month by month, and each time it is more and more excessive.

Hua Rong couldn't bear it anymore, took people to the Zhizhai Yamen, found Liu Gao, and asked: "Liu Zhizhai, what do you mean by this?" Money and food have been declining for months. You usually make money, forget it, and hit the idea on the army, aren't you afraid of mutiny? When the strongman on the hill is muddy? ”

"Hua Zhizhai, you are just a deputy Zhizhai!" A middle-aged man about forty years old, with a long white beard and a displeased face, said with a smile: "I only collected so much money this month, what's the use of you being angry at me?" Besides, there are more than 1,000 soldiers in the small Qingfeng Village, and there are too many people! ”

"What you mean is to expel and attrition, who will guard Qingfeng Village?" Hua Rong glared at this new Zhizhai who had caused public resentment to boil not long after taking office. How many years have he been here, he has never worried about paying taxes on money and food.

Liu Gao was counting on Wuzhizhai to sit on the defense, and gossiped vigorously: "Hehehe, ask me who will guard?" Isn't this your Wuzhizhai business? Of course, as long as the money and grain are collected, I will definitely send it to Huazhizhai. ”

"Liu Zhizhai, I, Hua Rong, leave my words here, there is no money and food, and the mutiny is none of my business."

"The little Qingfeng Village has scarce money and food, and the official really can't help it!"

……

Just when the two intellectuals were fighting a war of words, a military man suddenly rushed in in a panic and stammered: "Report... Report to the Lord, Shandong... Chao... King Chao led the iron cavalry to pass by Qingfeng Village. said that the officials of the imperial court arrived, named their names, and asked Liu Zhizhai to meet them quickly. ”

"Ah, brother is here, huh." Hua Rong was overjoyed when he heard the words "Shandong Chao Tianwang", glanced at Liu Gao and snorted coldly, looked up to the sky and laughed and left. Behind him, Wenzhizhai Liu Gao's white face turned the color of pig liver.
