"The Wang family thinks that they can talk well after the dots, but who knows, as soon as Lord Zhao came, he directly took office as a new official, and directly arrested the Wang family as a typical example of their spring equinox county."

Shopkeeper Cui's expression was a lot happier, and he seemed to agree with Lord Zhao's approach.

"I heard that several children of the Wang family were arrested at that time, in addition to a few branches, there was actually a grandson, but it was the second son, but these are all well-known evil young people in the spring equinox county, robbing the people's daughters, that are all light crimes, I heard that the second son also burned to death a cloth shop competing with their Wang family, and the whole family of more than a dozen people, all dead!"

Shopkeeper Cui shook his head, smacking, full of sighs.

"At that time, only one maid who went out to buy survived, and when this happened, the maid also went to report to the official, but the county magistrate in front of me somehow suppressed the matter, and the maid did not know where to go."

"Who knows, as soon as the new county commander Zhao took office, he turned this matter out and re-reckoned the accounts, and the evidence of the crimes arrested at that time was chiseled, and they were directly cut down on the street, which is regarded as a feud with the Wang family, what do you guess the reaction of the Wang family at that time?"

The shopkeeper Cui became more and more energetic, and directly regarded himself as a storyteller, and he actually whetted his appetite here.

The shopkeeper Wang saw that Shen Yingniang listened with relish, but he didn't interrupt, but said angrily.

"Ouch, you kid, talk about business, and sell Guanzi, hurry up, what happened?"

Shopkeeper Cui came back to his senses, saw Shen Yingniang's fascinated expression, smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly said.

"Later, isn't it what the play book probably says? In fact, I have heard some gossip about this, plus what Master Dong told me, I don't know if it's true or false, maybe it's true or false, anyway, it's this new Lord Zhao who has a feud with the Wang family, and the Wang family is looking for trouble with this county order everywhere. ”

"But this Lord Zhao is tough, it seems that there are still people above, of course, not from the capital, but also a big official, the Wang family made several shots, but was suppressed by Lord Zhao, and in the end it seemed that he was defeated, and he couldn't stay in the spring equinox county, so he moved his family to Guyu County at that time."

Shopkeeper Cui suddenly pursed his mouth and continued.

"But after the Wang family left, there were gradually a lot of rumors about this Lord Zhao in the spring equinox county, not to criticize his character, that is, he was too strict as an official, indiscriminately killing innocents, and always used businessmen to kill chickens and monkeys, and the direction of the wind suddenly changed, when Lord Zhao killed several children of the Wang family, and was originally called the master of Qingtian by the local people."

"But suddenly, somehow, many people came out to accuse Lord Zhao, saying that he was too rigid, did not know how to be flexible, and sentenced a lot of unjust, false and wrongful cases, Lord Zhao also arrested these people who spread at that time, but as soon as these people entered the yamen, they flatly denied it, suffering from no evidence, Lord Zhao had no choice but to release these people, but this release is even worse."

Shopkeeper Cui's eyes lit up, as if he had found the home field, and what he said was a vivid image.

"Everyone said that Lord Zhao was a thief with a weak heart, and also said that there was no evidence to arrest people indiscriminately, all in all, it was a mess at that time, and there were all kinds of gossip, and gradually, everyone believed that Lord Zhao was such an old-fashioned and inflexible image."

"There are many other businessmen in the spring equinox county who have moved away with their families, which confirms this even more, no one does business, and the spring equinox county is getting poorer and poorer, it was originally similar to our places before, and now our county business is big, and the spring equinox county is becoming more and more difficult."

"Maybe it's also because of this, Lord Zhao has been the county magistrate for ten years, and he has never gone up, of course, these are just my guesses, and I don't know what the situation is......"

In the end, Shopkeeper Cui came to such a sentence very rationally.

After Shen Yingniang listened, she glanced at Yue Lingjun.

Although I don't know what the specific situation is, this is still a little different from what they inquired about.

Lord Zhao has been the county magistrate in the spring equinox county for ten years, and too many things have happened in the middle, and the age is so long ago that I really don't know what the situation is.

However, from the fact that the Wang family has a feud with the Spring Equinox County, it can be seen that those rumors are most likely inseparable from the Wang family, but whether they are adding oil and vinegar or are groundless remains to be investigated.

After all, from an objective point of view, if Lord Zhao is really an old-fashioned person who doesn't know how to be flexible, those gossips are not wrong.

After all, as soon as he came, the spring equinox county directly killed the chickens and monkeys, bold and decisive, but at the same time, from another point of view, he was indeed a little inflexible, and he offended the largest local businessman as soon as he came.

But what if it's really slander?

Then the nature is completely different.

Thinking of this, Shen Yingniang felt that she was looking forward to this meal even more, and after meeting with Master Zhao, she might be able to figure it out.

After the shopkeeper Cui drank the tea in front of him, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Shen Yingniang and asked.

"By the way, what Shopkeeper Shen said, are these things useful to you? I think it's right, Lord Zhao has been the county magistrate in the spring equinox county for ten years, and there are so many rumors and rumors, if you want to say it's completely wrong, I don't think it's right, you want to say it's all right, I don't think it's right, but his old-fashioned personality is well known, and it is not easy to say it. ”

After all, he really has ideas about joining Lei Gong Express, but if this first problem can't be solved, how can it be spread in the future?

It's not that he hasn't thought of the second way, that is, to bypass the spring equinox county, but what he can think of, Shopkeeper Shen and Shopkeeper Wang must have also thought about it, and Shopkeeper Wang also dispelled his idea.

The reason why the spring equinox county was selected is because although the spring equinox county is poor, it has the best and most convenient wharf, which is the most unique place for water transportation in these counties.

And Lei Gong Express is also a water transport, if you don't have a good relationship with this spring equinox county, it will still not work.

It's not that the He family hasn't talked to Lord Zhao before, but it seems that they have all been rejected by Lord Zhao, can Shopkeeper Shen do it?

The most important thing is that the geographical location of this spring equinox county is also very good, it is actually the middle county of these counties, if you can open up the land transportation of this county, you can save most of the opportunity to detour.

The more I thought about it, the more pity the shopkeeper Cui felt.

Shen Yingniang smiled: "Shopkeeper Cui, don't think about it so much, what you said is very useful to me, don't worry, tomorrow's meal, you just follow the meal, when the time comes, you look at the eyes of the shopkeeper Wang, I will talk to Lord Zhao personally." ”

Shen Yingniang said it so clearly, Shopkeeper Cui didn't want to ask again, and he didn't know what Shen Yingniang wanted to do, but Shen Yingniang seemed quite confident, so he would believe it.

Shopkeeper Wang didn't want to say anything more to Shen Yingniang, they could talk about it tomorrow before the dinner started, so he took Shopkeeper Cui and left.

Shen Yingniang personally sent the two to the side of the road, and watched the two leave in the carriage, Shen Yingniang went home thoughtfully.

She felt that there were some things that she had to discuss with Yue Lingjun again, especially the situation of Lord Zhao, and she had to inquire about it again.

And the other end, on the carriage.

Shopkeeper Cui just sat down, so he couldn't wait to ask: "Shopkeeper Wang, do you think it is possible for Shopkeeper Shen to negotiate?" I think she seems to be quite sure, but Lord Zhao's character is not something I said nonsense, it is something that the entire Spring Equinox County knows. ”

The shopkeeper touched his mustache, squinted his eyes, and smiled like an old fox.

"Shopkeeper Cui, we do business, not only have to listen to those messy information, but also distinguish between truth and falsehood, you think about it yourself, what you just said, how many are true, how many are false, how many are someone is adding fuel to the fire, and which ones are deliberately splashing dirty water? Of course, I'm not saying that what you say is false, but this person is complicated, and he can't be biased. ”

Of course, Shopkeeper Cui knew this truth, but before he came, he had already scrutinized the information he knew several times, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, it was groundless.

And even if your own estimation is wrong, can everyone else be wrong? The unique geographical location of Spring Equinox County is obvious, and it is not only visible to Shen and Wang.

When he inquired about Lord Zhao, he also got a lot of useful information, and heard that many businessmen had gone to talk to Lord Zhao, but they were all scared out.

It is precisely because of the failure of the negotiations again and again that this will make others give Lord Zhao a reputation of being old-fashioned and inflexible, and it will not play such a big role just by relying on a Wang family to fuel the flames behind the scenes.

So even if Shopkeeper Shen wants to negotiate with Lord Zhao, he must have enough capital to negotiate.

The more Shopkeeper Cui thought about it, the more anxious he became, he didn't like this feeling of no sense of participation at all, so he looked at Shopkeeper Wang and asked.

"Shopkeeper Wang, don't be sloppy with me, just say it directly, is Shopkeeper Shen already successful? If you want to negotiate with Lord Zhao, you have to have an entry point for negotiation, right? Don't be kicked out without saying a few words. ”

"And if Lord Zhao is really an old-fashioned person as rumored, you say, Shopkeeper Shen went to see him in person...... It is estimated that before we met, Lord Zhao had already denied what we were going to do in my heart. ”

This is very straightforward, if Lord Zhao is really an old-fashioned person, it is difficult to accept the fact that a woman does business, not to mention that Shen Yingniang actually has to meet and negotiate with him in person, what kind of thing does a serious woman do?

Shopkeeper Cui himself is full of respect for Shen Yingniang, but before he really got along with Shen Yingniang, he was also full of prejudice against Shen Shopkeeper, including before he went to see Shopkeeper Shen today, he also had a little bit of a diaphragm in his heart.

Of course, after meeting, he dispelled this idea, but others don't have as big a mind as him, let alone an official who is conservative in his own right.

Shopkeeper Wang saw that Shopkeeper Cui was really anxious, and after thinking about it, he felt that he should mention a few more words, so as not to make a faint move at a critical moment in the future, so he said.

"No matter what, what Shopkeeper Shen asks you to do, you can do it, don't talk nonsense at the dinner tomorrow, just look at my eyes and act, as for the entry point of Shopkeeper Shen's negotiation...... According to my understanding of Shopkeeper Shen, as well as the results of my previous discussions with Shopkeeper Shen, Shopkeeper Shen will most likely start with Lei Gong Express. ”

Shopkeeper Cui listened to the clouds, hugged his hand and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, please be clear, I don't understand." ”
