Chapter 121: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger
Several officials were commanded by Mazi like this, and they were very unhappy.
They were ashamed to call the shots for such a bully who oppressed the people, but there was an order from above, and they had to come.
At this time, the leader took the official and said, "Girl, did you beat Zhou Mazi?" ”
"Poor master, this is just Zhou Mazi's one-sided words, the truth is that he begged me to beat him."
Su Jiaojiao said, "I've grown so big, and I've never heard such a strange request." He begged me to hit him, and I got his request. ”
"He is now saying that I beat him, why is this heaven?!"
Several officials were embarrassed, thinking that it was really possible that Zhou Mazi said this.
After all, he usually speaks foul language and is unbearable.
"I said a few of you, you were ordered to help me seek justice, what are you doing in a daze, what I said is the truth, don't arrest people quickly!"
"Arrest all these women for me, and then seal the shop......"
"How?" Su Jiaojiao said, "This prison is opened by your family, you said that if you lock us up, you will lock us up?" ”
"Although it is not opened by my family, it can be commanded by me."
Zhou Mazi was triumphant, "I'll tell you, you'd better kneel down and beg me for mercy quickly, otherwise you won't be able to get out of the prison!" ”
"Really?" Su Jiaojiao said, "What if my sister is reluctant to let me go to prison? ”
"Your sister is a piece of, no matter how verbose it is, I'll put your sister in prison together, do you believe it or not?"
"I don't believe ......," said the woman who had been sitting behind the counter.
"I don't believe you can put anyone in my shop in jail!"
"Yo, what do you not believe," Zhou Mazi raised his feet and walked inside, "I'll get you in first, do you believe it or not?" ”
"Zhou Mazi, don't mess around!" The official still has a bit of conscience, and wants to stop Zhou Mazi for fear that he will do rampant things.
"If you don't want me to mess around, then you can go!"
Zhou Mazi said dissatisfiedly, "Lord Fu Yin sent you here to help me, not to make trouble, did you hear?" ”
Several officials finally walked into the shop, but soon, they came out again, and then directly tied Zhou Mazi to Wuhua Dahua.
"Hey, you're mistaken, I asked you to come to arrest them, why did you arrest me."
Zhou Mazi struggled, "I tell you, let me go quickly, otherwise when I go back and tell my uncle, then you won't be able to eat and walk away......"
At this time, the leading official said, "You can be quiet, you don't know that you have caused trouble for your uncle." ”
"It's light for us to tie you up, your uncle can beat you to death, do you believe it?!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, how did I get my uncle in trouble?" Zhou Mazi was incredulous.
"Don't be alarmist here, be careful that I turn back......"
An official really didn't want to listen to him, so he shut his mouth.
Zhou Mazi never thought that he was obviously taking an official mission to arrest people, but he didn't expect to become a defendant instead.
Good guy, he took the officials to Peach Blossom Street for a turn, and the officials took him back to the yamen.
"What's going on?" Jing Zhaoyin looked at a few people, and he was also puzzled.
"Master Cui, you have to make the decision for me, I asked them to help me redress my grievances, but they brought me back......"
"They don't listen to you at all, you need to teach them a good lesson!"
"My lord, after we went, we really wanted to arrest people according to Zhou Mazi's request, but ......"
The official at the head told Su Nianyun about suing Zhou Mazi one by one.
"A woman just sued Zhou Mazi, you just listened to it, and then attacked your own people?" Cui Fuyin asked.
The leading official said, "My lord, the most important thing is that the woman is none other than Princess Nianyun, the daughter of the Queen Mother." ”
"What?" Cui Fu Yin jumped three feet high, "Princess...... Went to Peach Blossom Street and opened a shop? ”
At the beginning, for the sake of the face of the household servant, after he caught this Zhou Mazi who collected protection money everywhere, he did not severely punish him, but continued to protect him.
In this way, the protection money collected by Zhou Mazi did not pay less filial piety to himself.
In order to prevent someone from getting caught, he specially designated the places where ordinary people lived on Furui Street and Peach Blossom Street to collect protection money for Zhou Mazi.
The people there are all ordinary ordinary people, even if Zhou Mazi is powerful there, they are not satisfied, and they can't set off any waves.
However, when the princess was there, it was different.
If he doesn't give a solution to this matter, he is afraid that the princess will tell the queen mother.
Although the Queen Mother is now too concerned with the government, Yu Wei is still there, and the officials are more afraid of the Queen Mother than the emperor.
"You," Jing Zhaoyin pointed to the official errand, "deal with it impartially, even if you inform the princess of the result, don't let her go in front of the queen mother." ”
"Then, this ......" The official looked at Zhou Mazi.
"Post a notice, let the bitter master enter the door, how much money should be refunded to them, return it to them, and then beat Zhou Mazi fifty boards!"
"Hey, my lord, you can't do this to me, where do I have so much money to return to them?"
Most of the protection money collected was given to Jing Zhaoyin and his uncle.
This is good, out of the basket, but Master Cui let him continue by himself, how wronged he is!
However, in the face of this situation, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only acquiesce.
Su Nianyun only stayed in Su's gouache shop for half an hour, and the official messenger hurriedly sent the news.
Knowing that Zhou Mazi was beaten by the board and had to stay in prison for a while, Su Nianyun was still quite satisfied.
"Princess, what we adults mean is that this matter ......"
"This palace knows," Su Nianyun nodded, "The queen mother is busy with everything, and this palace will not bother her with such a trivial matter." ”
She wouldn't be stupid to go against Jingzhao Mansion Yin and the household servant, a small punishment and a big commandment, which is good for both parties.
After receiving an answer, the official errand left the gouache shop.
"Ah Yun, such a person, just a few boards and put him in prison is too cheap for him!"
Su Jiaojiao said angrily.
Su Nianyun said, "Some people's evil is on the surface, and some people's evil is on the ......inside."
"This matter is not only Zhou Mazi, it is not bad to be able to punish him to achieve the goal of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger!"
Moreover, these corrupt officials and corrupt officials have their own wicked people to grind.
She remembered that after the eighteenth prince ascended the throne, these two people were among the first officials to bear the brunt.
Speaking of which, these two people have some vision and no vision.
They saw that the crown prince was in decline, and it was unlikely that they would sit on the throne, but they just didn't see that in the future, the eighteen princes would be the only ones valued by the emperor.
They used all the gold and silver they had accumulated to support the six princes with the highest voice.
This also became the reason why Zhao Chengji had to get rid of them after he ascended the throne.
