Zou Hong put away the records, stood up and said to Yan Changli: "You'd better come back to Taiyuan with me now."
Yan Changli nodded, "I'll clean it up."
Yan Changli turned around and walked out. Zou Hong asked again, "Don't reveal my identity!"
"I know!"
Yan Changli and Zou Hong quickly came to the lobby and saw the county magistrate Wang Jian and several government officials asking Zou Hong's men.
Yan Changli hurriedly greeted him, "Why is the county gentleman here?"
"Passing by here, I stopped by to see Dongzhu Yan."
Wang Jian laughed, looked at Zou Hong, and asked with a smile: "Dr. Yan, who is this?"
"He is the shopkeeper Zou Da of Taiyuan Sanyuan Restaurant. He came to talk to me about the transfer of the signboard."
"I see. Can Mr. Yan go to the county government office at noon? I have something to do."
Yan Changli was a little embarrassed: "To be fair to the county magistrate, I am going to Taiyuan with shopkeeper Zou Da soon. Can I see the county magistrate when I come back?"
Wang Jian was really annoyed. If he usually said something, Yan Changli would immediately rush to the county government office. If he hadn't supported him, would his new restaurant have been able to open?
Now that he is no longer the county magistrate, he will immediately ignore him?
After all, Wang Jian was almost forty years old and already well-educated. He was annoyed in his heart, but still had a gentle smile on his face and said: "In that case, then go ahead!"
Wang Jian left the restaurant with his men and walked to the street. He suddenly realized that it was wrong. Yan Changli probably didn't know that he was no longer the county magistrate. There was also the big shopkeeper. He had been on the road again after running all night without even a day's rest.
,Is this a normal businessman?
His subordinates answered questions impeccably and were all experienced and capable, which made people suspicious.
However, suspicion was suspicion, and Wang Jian still did not think too much. He also understood Yan Changli's desire for the sign. In order to get the sign back, he would rather offend himself, which was actually reasonable.
Half an hour later, Yan Changli followed Zou Hong and left Wenshui County and returned to Taiyuan City.
,.
Zhang Yang was very efficient and handed Chen Qing a list of officials drafted jointly by him and Wang Lianqing and signed and supported by dozens of Taiyuan gentry early the next morning.
Chen Qing was very polite and just said that he would promulgate it after a little verification. This left Zhang Yang speechless. It was normal to check the list. How could it be possible that what they said was what they said?
But Zhang Yang soon received news that the Taiyuan government office had been closed down, and dozens of civil servants who were preparing to return to the government office could not enter the government office at all. This news made Zhang Yang slightly nervous.
Obviously, Chen Qing was offended by the boycott of the government office. If Chen Qing had been offended, how genuine was his politeness to himself and Wang Lianqing when he received the list in the morning?
Zhang Yang has three sons. The eldest son, Zhang Ming, is about forty years old. He has been serving as the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture and truly controls the real power of Taiyuan Prefecture. Since Zhang Ming has a relatively high level, he mainly uses high taxes and monopoly to exploit the people.
Nor will it be associated with an individual
The second son, Zhang Jun, is responsible for taking care of the family business. The various shops, brothels, gambling houses, teahouses, docks, warehouses, fleets, etc. of the Zhang family are basically controlled by Zhang Jun. Of course, he also has evil deeds.
His businessman is to use any means to scheme against other competing businessmen. He and his third brother Zhang Tie teamed up, and every businessman he targeted had their families destroyed, their wives and children separated.
Yan Changli's Sanyuan Restaurant was targeted by him, and his third brother Zhang Tie took it by force.
The third child, Zhang Tie, is a thug of the Zhang family. In Zhang Yang's words, if you can't make people respect you, you will make people afraid. They need someone who does dirty things.
Zhang Tie is obviously the reincarnation of the devil, born specifically to do evil things for the Zhang family. He was born from a concubine. He has been arrogant and arrogant since he was a child. When he was eleven years old, his mother tried to persuade him a few words, but he used an iron rod.
After being beaten to death with a stick, Zhang Yang not only did not get angry, but instead thought that his son was courageous and dared to do great things, so he began to ask martial arts masters to train him.
When he was seventeen years old, he learned martial arts. He bullied men and women and did all kinds of evil. He especially enjoyed humiliating women from good families. After Jin Bing entered the city, he even organized a group of village warriors to serve Jin Bing.
It's just that the commander-in-chief Wanyan Yinshu at that time was the same as now. He never liked to use Han people as soldiers. Xiangyong had to disband, but Zhang Tie still left thirty people behind and became his confidants. He was also the one who brought disaster to Taiyuan Prefecture.
Minions of the common people.
Zhang Tie is now twenty-nine years old. Over the past ten years, at least hundreds of innocent people have died at his hands. As for the women he has insulted, they are even more numerous.
In the lobby, Zhang Yang told his three sons: "This Chen Qing is not someone we can afford to offend. During this time, the second and third sons should restrain themselves. Needless to say, Da Lang, I still recommend you to be Taiyuan
As the general judge of the government, Chen Qing needs to use local people and people who are familiar with the officialdom. You are the most suitable, so if nothing happens, you will continue to serve as the general judge, but you have to keep a low profile these days and do something to help Pei Xiangjun when you have time.
Take him to understand the situation in Taiyuan City and open up his joints, and he will put in a good word for you."
Zhang Ming nodded in agreement, "My child understands, do you want to give Pei Xiangjun some money?"
Zhang Yang waved his hand, "Sending money is too obvious, he may not dare to accept it. He is a member of the Pei family of Wenxi. Mrs. Pei will have her 80th birthday next month. As a junior, he must show something. Mrs. Pei believes in Buddhism, so you can give it as a gift.
Pei Xiangjun said that he would accept the white jade Bodhisattva that he bought from a garage sale for dozens of pennies."
"Kid, remember!"
"The second brother will continue to do business, and the salt and oil prices will all be adjusted to the government prices."
"But each catty of salt only sells for 40 cents, so the profit is too little."
"fart!"
Zhang Yang's eyes widened, "If you should pretend to be a grandson at this time, you have to pretend to be a grandson. When he returns to Jingzhao and the officials of the imperial court take control of Taiyuan Mansion, then we can make a comeback. Do you understand?"
"My child understands."
At this time, Zhang Yang's eyes turned to his third son, Zhang Tie. This was his most capable son, but he was also the son he was most worried about. He had too many enemies. What should he do if he was sued? He thought for a long time, and the only way was to die.
, dead people cannot be held accountable.
"Lao San, you go to Lanzhou first to avoid the limelight. Taiyuan will make a false impression and say you are dead."
Zhang Tie was tall and tall, with a sinewy face and a fierce glint in his eyes. But in front of his father, the ferocious glint in his eyes subsided and he muttered: "I can pretend to be dead, but I'm not going anywhere."
Zhang Yang slammed the table and said angrily: "How dare you disobey me?"
Zhang Tie lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. His eldest son, Zhang Ming, advised: "Father, it's better for the third child to stay in Taiyuan. After all, our power is in Taiyuan. If we go to Lanzhou, we will be beyond our reach and we won't be able to take care of him."
Zhang Yang thought it was right, so the eldest son and the second son said: "Then find a house outside for the third son to hide, and he is not allowed to show his face, and then say that the third son helped the Song army fight and was shot by the Jurchens' arrows. He should be cured."
If Fu Fu dies, hold a funeral for him and find someone who looks similar to him to pretend to be."
The three sons bowed together and said: "I will obey my father's order!"
The death of Zhang Tie, the third son of Zhang Yang, became a sensation among the people of Taiyuan. When they heard the news, the people of Taiyuan all clapped their hands and cheered. Zhang Tie finally got his retribution for all his evil deeds.
However, many people still don't believe it, just because the Zhang family said that Zhang Tie died fighting against the Jurchen army. How is it possible? The Zhang family colluded with the Jin State, and everyone in Taiyuan actually resisted the Jin soldiers and the Song army.
almost.
But no matter what, Zhang Tie's memorial shed was set up, and the gentry in the city came to offer incense one after another. The Zhang family also invited a group of monks to perform salvation for Zhang Tie, which looked decent.
A carriage drove past the main gate of the Zhang family. Next to the gate was the mourning shed, which was covered with flags. Inside the carriage, Zou Hong looked at the mourning shed and smiled at Yan Changli next to him: "Do you think Zhang Tie is dead?"
Yan Changli shook his head, "Zhang Tie has done many bad things. The Zhang family was afraid of retaliation, so they came up with this method. If they want Jin Chan to escape from his shell, Zhang Tie must be hiding somewhere."
Speaking of this, Yan Changli said to Zou Hong: "The key is to catch Ge Wu. He will definitely know something about Zhang Tie's background."
Zou Hong smiled slightly and said: "Someone has already gone to his hometown to arrest him, and he can't escape."
