Coming out of the back office, Zhu Chengjun saw that all the officials in Zhongli County had been assembled and were ready to standby.

Seeing the county lieutenant Zhong Lizhen pacing back and forth, his expression looked a little anxious.

The emergency gathering of the county's officials is definitely the first time in the spring of this year, and it is also the first time that Zhang Hongcheng has been in charge of a county.

Inadvertently, Zhong Lizhen saw Zhu Chengjun who was slowly walking out of the gate of the county government, and immediately walked over quickly, took Zhu Chengjun's hand and walked to a secluded corner, turned his eyes vigilantly around, and asked in a low voice: "Zhu Gongzi just finished talking to the adults, I don't know ......" Zhong Lizhen's eyes immediately glanced at the side of the officials.

Zhang Hongcheng suddenly ordered an emergency gathering, and he was also confused when he saw Zhong Lizhen's reaction. The county lieutenant who is in charge of maintaining public order and stability in a county does not know, and Zhu Chengjun is finally willing to believe that Zhang Hongcheng is going to do something practical this time.

Zhang Hongcheng and his colleagues did not tell how he could show his mouth to this county lieutenant who had no friendship, Zhu Chengjun said casually: "Lord Zhong also knows that more than 20 shops under his command were smashed and destroyed by local ruffians and hooligans at the same time, and Lord Zhang cares about the people, thinking that this matter is of a bad nature, and the public security in this county also needs to be rectified urgently to deter the wicked." ”

Zhong Lizhen thought that what Zhu Chengjun said was reasonable, and immediately apologized: "The ruffians are evil, so that Zhu Gongzi has suffered huge losses, and this official is a county lieutenant, and he cannot maintain public order and stability, and there is indeed a dereliction of duty, please rest assured that Zhu Gongzi can rest assured, the two hundred and fifty ruffians you sent over, this official must be dealt with strictly according to the law, and Zhu Gongzi will be given justice, and the people of Zhongli County will be given a bright future." ”

Zhu Chengjun saw Zhong Lizhen's vow, and said empty words with emotion, I have to say that those who are officials can speak, and when such a big thing happens, I don't see you sending someone to the scene to maintain stability, and afterwards I want to clear up the involvement with a fluttering sentence of 'caused by dereliction of responsibility', the ghost knows if you let it go, turn a blind eye and connive at the murderer as evil.

Zhu Chengjun smiled and said: "The villains are really unguardable, and Lord Zhong doesn't have to blame himself, this time, Lord Zhang and Lord Zhong are determined to rectify the law and order in the county at the same time, and I believe that they will soon be able to eliminate the trouble of the ruffians." ”

"It's nature." Zhong Lizhen saw that Zhu Chengjun was not troubled by this incident, and immediately felt a lot more relieved.

Seeing that Zhong Lizhen was smiling or not, this extremely hypocritical face Zhu Chengjun felt a burst of disgust in his heart for no reason, and thus he was even more convinced that he had been with the Fang family for many years. The imperial court has very strict control over the salt and iron business, although it is possible to make a lot of money by obtaining the monopoly of salt and iron, and it is really necessary to sell a pound of salt and iron honestly, at most it will not lose a small profit, and the place to really make a lot of money is to act under the protection of this legal document.

Doing salt and iron business only relies on a piece of official documents to act in secret, and if there is no one to protect the court, it may not be possible to say when you will squat and eat in prison. The blending and sales of official salt and private salt are nothing new in this industry, which is the root of the windfall of major salt merchants. The salt industry is the biggest money bag of the imperial court, and the crackdown on illegal salt has been hammered down in all dynasties.

It has been said in ancient times: the benefits of salt and iron are enough to nourish the country.

If this world is profitable, there will be people who will act, and the heavy profit of private salt has attracted countless people.

Whether Zhongli County's private salt can be cleared smoothly, Zhu Chengjun knows that Zhong Lizhen plays a key role in this regard.

The destruction of his shop is not accidental, but inevitable, and Zhu Chengjun also blames himself for not doing this necessary work in advance. Now that he has obtained the monopoly of salt and iron, Zhu Chengjun knows that he will inevitably have to deal with Zhong Lizhen in the future.

Zhu Chengjun found that what the Fang family was going to do before was exactly what he was going to do next.

In a country where politics sets up the stage and money sings, the economy and politics have always been one family, and collusion between officials and businessmen is just a common thing.

In such an environment, businessmen want to protect their own interests, and the means is nothing more than to open the way with money to find refuge from political forces, of course, political forces will also open the door to convenience, and so on, each taking what he needs.

Through brief contact with Zhong Lizhen, Zhu Chengjun concluded that he only traded power and money with the Fang family. As long as there is no family nepotism and incense mixed in, I can cooperate with him boldly and confidently.

Zhu Chengjun leaned closer, lowered his voice, and said, "The salt and iron business in Xia will officially open soon, and it will be indispensable to rely on Lord Zhong in the future." The Fang family can give everything that the adults can give, and it is only a lot more. ”

Zhong Lizhen has long been familiar with this, as long as her interests are not damaged, she will cooperate with anyone.

Speaking of this, Zhong Lizhen also sniffed out some smells, and became more and more sure that his previous worries were not unreasonable, no matter how bad the Fang family was this time, it would be a confiscation.

Zhong Lizhen smiled at Zhu Chengjun and said, "Don't worry, Zhu Gongzi, this official knows what to do." ”

Zhu Chengjun saw that everything that should be said was said, so as not to make people suspicious, it was not appropriate to talk for too long.

Not long after leaving, Zhang Hongcheng walked out of the county office.

"Get up!"

As soon as the words fell, the gongs and drums were noisy for a while, and the road opened left and right.

The county magistrate's pomp and circumstance, Zhu Chengjun personally understood it this time, and he deserves the word majestic.

Seeing the county lord drive away, Zhu Chengjun walked on the street alone with a calm face.

Fang's family enjoyed the benefits of salt and iron alone, and was nicknamed 'Fang Bancheng'.

With the momentum of the Fang family, it is only given a 'half city', and in Zhu Chengjun's opinion, the wealth of the Fang family is far more than that.

But what can it be, just because the backer behind him has fallen, and in the end it is not a miserable end of a broken family.

The backer is there, full of food and drink; Relying on the mountain, people and money are lost.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chengjun suddenly sighed in his heart.

After this incident, Zhu Chengjun deeply knows that it is not easy to keep a family business.

Zhu Chengjun turned around and glanced at the majestic and solemn yamen, and then looked up at the distant rivers and lakes.

Far away from the temple is the rivers and lakes, which is a world with different operating rules from the temple.

As a person of this era, perhaps embracing the rivers and lakes with your back to the temple is the most ideal way to protect yourself.

Wandering between these two worlds, Zhu Chengjun found that he began to gradually meet these conditions.

Now that you have a good start, let's work hard in these two directions.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chengjun felt that the sword hanging above his head was no longer so close to him.

Sweeping away the haze in his chest, Zhu Chengjun walked straight to the Changxing ticket number with brisk steps.

As soon as he walked into the backyard, Zhu Chengjun saw Xu Xiao, Lan Ping and others drooped their heads, and stood without saying a word with a ashamed face.

"I'm not doing my job well, please punish my eldest brother."

As he spoke, Xu Xiao led a group of people to kneel down in front of Zhu Chengjun.

Since the last time the hooligans who wanted to make trouble were scared away, Zhu Chengjun had already seen some signs. This incident just sounded the alarm bell for myself, if you want to do business without being disturbed, in addition to having official protection, you also need the forces of the rivers and lakes to act as a deterrent, so that you can achieve stability and long-term success.

Zhu Chengjun glanced at Xu Xiao and the others, and raised his hand to signal them to get up and listen to the training.

Xu Xiao felt that he had a heavy trust, and he didn't protect it effectively, so he refused to get up.

Zhu Chengjun had no choice but to give up, and said in a deep voice: "This time we have suffered heavy losses, and this incident has also taught us a truth, even if we don't take the initiative to provoke others, someone will come to provoke us." Please tell me, what should I do? ”

"Fight with them!"

…………

For a while, the crowd was excited.

Most of the people present are refugees taken in by Zhu Chengjun, and life is finally hopeful but encountering this kind of incident, this is not a simple smashing of jobs, this is their lives.

Seeing everyone's performance, Zhu Chengjun was very pleased, and their bloodiness was gradually awakened.

Xu Xiao suppressed everyone's passionate and angry emotions, and hugged his fist to Zhu Chengjun and asked, "Big brother, just give orders." ”

Zhu Chengjun bowed his head and said: "The reason why I let you pay attention to training on weekdays is that I hope you can do your best at a critical time, and the results show that you are all good and did not disappoint me." ”

Although everyone was affirmed by Zhu Chengjun, they still felt ashamed in their hearts. They all know that Zhu Chengjun works so hard not only for herself, but also for Zhu Chengjun's grace in every bowl of rice she eats.

Zhu Chengjun paused for a moment, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and found that each of them had a flame of revenge in their hearts, and with this surprise, he found that Zhu Chengjun knew that he was more sure of the major events he was going to prepare next. Zhu Chengjun continued: "I just came back from the county government, and Lord Zhang has already started to deal with the initiators. ”

"Who the hell is going to trouble us! I'm going to kill him! Lan Pingden was furious.

Zhu Chengjun suppressed Lan Ping's anger and said: "Although the initiator has been duly punished, we must be vigilant and have to prepare early. In order to deter the ruffians and hooligans, I decided to establish the Righteous Faith Gate! Since it has been decided to form this organization, a large number of members are needed to join, Zhu Chengjun said bluntly: "Who of you is willing to join!" ”

"Me!"

"Count me in!"

…………

Everyone has applied to join, and the willingness to join is strong, and Zhu Chengjun of course accepted all the orders.

Most of them are unwilling to engage in business and are not good at business, and they are somewhat ruffian, and these people seem to be born to eat the bowl of rice in the rivers and lakes. For the characteristics of these people, Zhu Chengjun has long been aware of them.

Zhu Chengjun glanced at everyone and said: "Since you have joined the club, you must abide by the rules, these rules are much stricter than the rules when you were a nurse, now please tell me, who wants to quit!" ”

"Nope!" The crowd shouted in unison.

Since then, Zhu Chengjun officially announced the establishment of Yixinmen.

Swinging back everyone, Zhu Chengjun suddenly felt that he was gradually transforming into the role of a bully.

With such a group of people in their hands, they have a number of names, rules, and characters...... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a gang organization.

Zhu Chengjun sighed secretly: Gangs are gangs, as long as they strictly abide by the rules they set, no matter how bad they are, they can't be any worse.

"Since then, there has been one more Yixin Gate in the rivers and lakes." Mingjing's voice came from behind her.

Zhu Chengjun was slightly shocked and said: "People are already in the rivers and lakes, and they have to do it as a last resort." ”

Ming Jing was also curious about what kind of path Zhu Chengjun would take this group of people on, and asked, "You established Yixinmen, not just to keep the shops under your hands. ”

Zhu Chengjun saw that Mingjing's gaze was very intriguing, and replied: "Don't worry, rob the house, kill the rich and help the poor...... I will never let them do these evil things. Zhu Chengjun turned to look at Ming Jing, since an organization similar to a gang has been established, the combat effectiveness of personnel is the first major matter to be solved, and he asked with a smile: "You have also seen what kind of people this group of people are, I have a reluctant request, can you please guide them in a few moves?" ”

Ming Jing glanced at Zhu Chengjun, she was a decent disciple, and now she has become a martial arts instructor in a gang. Ming Jing thought about it, they are all from the rivers and lakes, what is the difference between a sect and a gang.

Ming Jing nodded, and especially emphasized: "Only limited to fist and foot kung fu, you can't get an inch." ”

Zhu Chengjun immediately pointed to the sky with three fingers and said solemnly: "I can swear." ”

Although it remains to be seen how much faith there is in the name 'Yixinmen', Ming Jing immediately warned in a cold voice: "If one day I find out that the people under your command are doing evil by force, don't blame me for cleaning up the portal." ”

Chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, Zhu Chengjun felt less confident for the first time, in case they embarked on the evil road that day, wouldn't he be forced to become a bully.
