Guo Cheng came out today, not wearing the brown robe that he was proud of. Of course, he was not wearing the long and tight hat that looked majestic. Except for the white boots on his feet, it seemed that he was just like this city.
The people on the well look exactly the same.
He just couldn't figure it out. Compared to the soldiers and horses in Dongchang's outfit, the policemen of Shuntian Prefecture were much more majestic, but why Dacui didn't want to see him dressed in this outfit? He knew very well, if not
If he takes off these clothes, he won't even be able to enter the Dacui family.
Dacui is a ****, her husband's surname is Wang, but Guo Cheng never calls her by her husband's surname. Her bastard husband worked hard for half his life, and the property he bought in Xicheng was all at an advantage to this woman - he left
The descendant is a girl, which means that I don’t know who will benefit from this fortune in the future.
When did Guo Cheng pay attention to Dacui, he himself had forgotten it. However, this woman was also interesting. When the brothers tried to tease her, she ignored them with a cold face, but Guo Cheng was never friendly.
Those people made noises together and said some non-vegetarian things. When the woman saw him, she would sometimes smile.
This woman had a small shop on the street, and she had some sense. She hired a shopkeeper and a few waiters, and became the proprietress herself. However, since she opened a shop and was a merchant, she inevitably had to deal with Dongchang.
Guo Cheng had to spend several tables of wine to take over the job of collecting money in this woman's shop. For him, collecting money was secondary. He could see the woman's plump body from time to time.
That's what is real.
Over the past few days, Guo Cheng had inquired about some things about the woman, and finally figured out why the woman was so unwelcome to the imperial officials. It seemed that after the death of the woman's ghost husband, her husband had to pay for the family property left behind.
The collusion between the family members and the government officials really caused the couple to suffer a lot. From now on, when the woman saw people wearing official clothes, it was like seeing enemies.
He felt a little wronged, but it had nothing to do with him. Dongchang was the only one in the world who wore brown robes, white boots and high hats. Strictly speaking, his clothes were not considered official clothes. But as long as he wore this
Wearing clothes, it must be the annoying shopkeeper who is talking nonsense to him, Da Cui will never show up.
Yesterday, the superiors issued an order that everyone in charge of the store must collect cash as usual. He shyly collected ten taels of silver from Da Cui and left. He estimated that after he left, Da Cui cursed him a lot.
, ten taels of silver is not a small amount, it is enough for him to drink for two or three months.
This early in the morning, taking advantage of the fact that he was not on duty today, he came to Dacui and wanted to explain to the other party that this was not his original intention. Other shops were similar to Dacui's. Twelve taels, fifteen taels
Even if he didn't wait for two cents, he still secretly collected the money from the less one. This must be made clear to Dacui, so as not to be scolded as a bad person despite being a good person.
Turning around the corner, he saw the shop of Dacui's family in the distance. He quickened his pace and didn't even glance at the urchins playing at the street. At this time, the girls of Dacui's family were usually here.
Among naughty boys.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to report it to my boss. Let the military masters sit down for a while and I'll ask the waiter to invite my boss!" He heard the annoying voice of the old shopkeeper in the shop far away. Guo Cheng stood looking at the door.
Looking at the two people wearing Feiyu suits, the corners of their eyes tightened.
"What are you doing!" He shouted loudly. They were the two captains of Jinyiwei. They had met them several times on weekdays, but what were they doing here at this time? It wasn't time to pay the monthly payment?
The two Jinyi guards turned their heads and obviously recognized Guo Cheng: "Hey, it's Director Guo. Are you going on a blind date?"
"Stop talking about this. If you don't patrol the streets, why don't you come here to chew grain?" Guo Cheng looked unhappy. Don't you know that I have been taking care of this shop? It's so disrespectful.
"Oh, when did Director Guo come to my Jinyiwei as an errand?" The Jinyiwei said with a smile, "We brothers don't know yet, so congratulations!"
"I'm going to work as a clerk in your poor yamen!" Guo Cheng was angry when he heard it. The trick was not such a trick. Isn't this a way of burying people?
"Since we are not from Jinyiwei, then when will people from Dongchang be able to point fingers at the Jinyiwei office?" The Jinyiwei put away his smile and said coldly.
"Don't talk to me in a bureaucratic tone. Our Dongchang has patrols and arrests. Are the Jinyiwei very big? Jinyiwei is also within the scope of inspections and arrests in our Dongchang. Let me ask you what's wrong. You guys are doing this so early in the morning.
Don’t think that I don’t know what you are planning to do. If you want to fight the autumn wind and go somewhere else, get out of here as soon as possible!”
"Fighting the autumn wind!" The Jinyiwei was stunned, looked at his colleagues around him, and burst into laughter: "The ones blowing the autumn wind are the people from your East Factory, right? You are mistaken. Not only are we not here to fight the autumn wind, but we are here
I brought money to this shop. Yesterday, your Dongchang broke the rules and collected money indiscriminately. We, the Jinyiwei, cannot afford to lose face. According to the instructions of our Lord Qianhu, we, the Jinyiwei, will supplement the amount of money that the Dongchang receives as usual.
!”
While several people were looking at each other angrily, the curtain in the shop opened and a beautiful middle-aged woman came out.
"Dacui, tell me if they are blackmailing you or not, and I'll tell you this!" Guo Cheng hurriedly left the two Jinyi guards behind and moved forward.
The woman rolled her eyes at him, turned to the two guards and said, "Two military masters, I have heard about the matter. I just want to ask, is there no trouble after accepting the money?"
"No trouble!" Jin Yiwei nodded: "One more thing I want to inform you. The rules for paying Ping An silver have changed. From now on, our Jin Yiwei, Dongchang and Bingma Division will send people to pay money at the beginning of the month.
Collect it, it’s enough for your store to pay the silver once a month. Of course, the amount of the silver remains unchanged!”
"Oh!" The woman nodded: "If the poor men from the Dongji Service Factory come to collect it again like yesterday, we ordinary people will not dare to go against the poor men!"
"Don't worry, no matter how much extra money someone collects from your shop, you just need to take the receipt to our Qianhu office to redeem the money. How much money is collected, how much money will be paid by our Qianhu office!"
"Then I'm relieved!" The woman patted her chest and said, "Shopkeeper, please collect the money sent by the two military masters and give the military master a receipt!"
"In that case, let's go to the next one. The landlady's business is booming!" The two guards in royal robes cupped their hands, turned around and left!
