The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 839

"Okay! Be courageous. If this is the case, we have nothing to talk about. Go back and continue to open your store. I would like to see when you will close Zhang Daji."

The two conditions were too much. As long as the three of them gave up, they would go crazy without saying a word on the way back.

Li Tianxing was so busy in the kitchen that he told the widow about it.

"What? This guy wants 2 taels of silver?"

Lao Cai sighed: "Yeah, where did we get so much money? No matter how good the business is, we can't afford such a toss. Brothers and sisters, I think this Xiujiu must have received benefits from others. It is obvious that it is not for collecting money, or for us. Embarrassing. If there are 2 taels, then let's open a fart restaurant."

The widow was moved by the government: "I'll go out for a while, you guys look at the store first."

Two hours later, the widow came back, her complexion much better.The three asked her what was going on, saying that she could get money from the government.The county magistrate in this place, surnamed Zheng, is a well-known corrupt official. He has been bullying men and women a lot, and the local people hate him to the bone.He also swallowed the disaster relief funds stripped by the imperial court, and now the silver in the warehouse is piled up like a mountain.

This is not a small sum, if you don't take it for nothing, you won't take it.

"I'll kill the dog officer and get all the money back." Goudan was very impulsive.

"No need." The widow said: "Silver is too heavy, and we want to do business here, so don't even think about killing people. There will be a lot of troubles in the future. Let the cat's claw and Lao Cai go, you two thieves, at last there is some use .”

Stealing bank notes is too easy for the two of them. They are top thieves, and they just play tricks like unlocking the lock.

They didn't go until nightfall, and when they came back, their pockets were full of bank notes, and the theft amounted to several 10 taels of bank notes.Corrupt officials have too much money, and they don't know how to check it carefully.Even if it is discovered, it will be a few months later.

On this day, the widow came to Xiujiu's home with the banknotes in person, followed by Maozhuo, and put two 1 taels of banknotes on the table in one hand.

Xiu Jiu was not stupid, seeing that the bank notes had the official seal on them, he also guessed that these bank notes came from a wrong path.But he doesn't care, as long as it's money: "Hehe! There are really sensible people. I accept this bank note, tsk tsk...Don't say it, shopkeeper Li is really lucky to have such a handsome woman."

The widow gave a long smile: "Let's say less, can we continue to do business?"

Xiu Jiu gave a look, and the younger brother beside him put away the banknotes, and he also happily asked the younger brother to come over and pour tea: "Please sit down, you two, you understand the rules, and I am not the one who does not understand the rules. But this There seems to be something wrong with the source of the bank note, the official seal on it is still there, you didn’t get more than 2 taels this trip, right?”

The widow understood, and put down another 5 taels of banknote: "Jiu Ye, I understand that, in the future, if we have a mouthful, your brothers will eat. You take this banknote first. As long as you clean up the troublemakers, I will give you another 5 taels."

"Okay! Have fun!" Xiu Jiu patted the table happily.

Two days later, Shopkeeper Yang came over again, full of anger: "Master Jiu, you didn't do this, did you? You took 2 taels of filial piety from me, and you did it for two days?"

Xiu Jiu took out the 2 taels of bank notes. He didn't like this small fortune: "Shopkeeper Yang, I really can't help you with this matter. My people have inquired, and this Li Tianxing has a lot of background. , my hands and eyes are open to the sky, I can't offend a big shot just because of something like yours."

"Nonsense, they just came from other places, what kind of background can they have. Jiu Ye, I'm not here to ask for a bank note, just to ask for an explanation. You can't do things like this."

"The surname is Yang." Xiu lit up the smoke at nine o'clock: "I've already said what I said, take the bank note back. In addition, don't go looking for trouble with those three restaurants, or you will make trouble with me."

"You took their money?"

"According to the rules of the road, I don't want more than a cent."

Shopkeeper Yang left angrily. Now he has no more moves. Such a big restaurant with such good stalls is really not reconciled.So I went to the county government office and looked for the county magistrate Mr. Zheng. He hoped that Li Tianxing was not some kind of master of the rivers and lakes, and he kept muttering in his heart.

Could it be that the 2 taels of silver bills can't be delivered?
He invited the county magistrate to visit the kiln, and pushed the banknote over openly: "Master Zheng, we are old friends, you have to make the decision for me, and you can't let outsiders interfere here."

Mr. Zheng quickly tightened the banknotes by his sleeves: "I'm a big deal, aren't I just a few restaurant owners, what a joke. I'll take someone tomorrow, and I'll be disrespectful of the banknotes." .”

…………

Before noon, more than ten servants from the county government sealed off the other two restaurants, and this restaurant was surrounded to death.

Knowing that something happened, the widow hurriedly sent someone to invite Xiujiu. She and Li Tianxing stopped the servant at the door: "What are you going to do? Which royal law have we violated?"

The head catcher held an iron chain in his hand, and spoke confidently: "Which family's law has been violated? Hehe, good guy, you snatched other people's restaurants, and you still claim that you are innocent? Little ones, take them all away! "

Now without martial arts, if a scholar meets a soldier, he can't tell why he is justified.They left with the people from the government, and only Li Tianxing and the widow were detained in the lobby. The old man was a bit paralyzed, he seemed to be drinking too much, and he was very listless.

The gavel slapped, Master Zheng asked: "Who is under the hall?"

"Under Li Tianxing, this is a bitch."

Li Tianxing? !This name, as long as it is an official, no one does not know it.The county magistrate was alert at first, then came down from the hall, looked carefully at Li Tianxing's face, and became suspicious.He has never met the emperor, and he has only been an official for a short time. If it is really Li Tianxing, he cannot afford to offend him.

So Master Zheng asked, "Where do you come from? What did you do before?"

Li Tianxing answered quickly: "Business for generations."

Oh, it turned out that it wasn't Li Tianxing, so there was nothing to worry about.Mr. Zheng went back and sat down: "Well, you are a bold villain! How dare you occupy other people's restaurants, what should you do?!"

The widow said: "My lord doesn't know, but the transaction between that surnamed Yang and us is well-founded, written in black and white, signed and marked, and no one can deny it."

"Nonsense! A restaurant only sells 1000 taels of silver. Which rule is this? It is the largest restaurant in the county. No matter what, it is more than this amount. You have no tricks, why did they sell it to you? In the lobby How dare you talk nonsense, and don’t tell me the truth!”

At the entrance of the hall, shopkeeper Yang came in: "My lord, they took over my restaurant because they sent someone to make trouble earlier, and threatened to take over my restaurant for 100 taels. I was afraid, so I let go as soon as possible. After all, this is all their conspiracy!"

"Ah yes, conspiracy!" Mr. Zheng said casually.

The widow asked him: "Your surname is Yang, you said we sent people to make trouble, who did you send? You can't just rely on you, we all have written evidence to prove it."
