"Shut up! Don't you see that the person's status is not ordinary? He is a first-grade official without any fuss. Moreover, he can directly deal with Li Bozhi on the spot. I guess his status is not ordinary!"
However, he really couldn't figure out why such a noble person came to this border town!
"Steward Li, you go to Jiang's house immediately and ask for Old Man Jiang. I want to talk to him about the situation carefully."
In the restaurant's wing, Zhao Genghong waited for a long time, but could not wait for Mr. Jiang to come. Instead, he saw the face of a stranger, Wang Yixiu.
"I heard that Mr. Zhao is back. He went to the mansion to look for our master. However, he has gone to the capital and is not in the mansion now. All the affairs of Jiang's mansion are now handled by me. If you have anything, please tell me.
."
Wang Yixiu curled his lips, walked to the table with his slender figure, and sat down quietly.
Zhao Genghong was a little stunned for a moment. Old man Jiang went to the capital?
I'm afraid this is nonsense again. This county is remote, and the road to the capital is just that way. If the old guy had arrived in the capital early, he wouldn't have heard about it, but if he was still on the road, he wouldn't have heard anything about it.
It seems like things are about to change in this small county.
Zhao Genghong sat as steady as a bell, raised his hand, poured a glass of wine quietly, and brought it to Wang Yixiu.
"Well, since Mr. Jiang has handed over the Jiang family to you, it seems that you are also capable. For some things, it doesn't matter who you say it to, but what kind of person you say it to. Maybe Mr. Wang understands?"
With a sophisticated and cunning way of speaking, Wang Yixiu lifted his lips and smiled, raising his hand to drink down the wine in front of him.
"Hmph, Mr. Zhao is indeed a smart man. Then Mr. Zhao called me here today because he wants to say something to me or ask me something. Just ask me!"
The two opened the door, and Zhao Genghong stopped beating around the bush.
"What has happened in this county recently, and what about Li Bozhi, and what happened to the new county magistrate, and why is my son being imprisoned!"
At that time, the atmosphere in the lobby was obviously not right. He did not understand the situation and did not dare to speak out. If he offended someone from the official family, he would probably have a hard time here in the future.
Although the strong dragon is powerful, the local snake is not easy to mess with.
Wang Yixiu guessed that he was going to ask this question, and his eyes moved, "Now the county is in chaos. The merchants are all huddled together, vying for warmth. Mr. Zhao suddenly came back, but he has decided how to act in the future?"
Zhao Genghong's heart skipped a beat. Good boy, this is threatening him to stand aside. He is truly worthy of being the one who fought Old Man Jiang down. He has so many thoughts.
Zhao Genghong had a faint smile on his plump face, "This world is originally a world of the weak and the strong. Since the times are changing, I will just follow the trend and naturally I will not have other thoughts."
In this way, the big knot in Wang Yixiu's heart was finally relieved.
"Okay, Mr. Zhao is generous. If that's the case, then I will tell you the coefficient I know."
The two of them chatted for a long time in the side room. Wang Yixiu mentioned everything that happened in the county recently in detail, except that he did not mention the embarrassing moment of the prince in the government office, not to mention that the identity of that person was not ordinary at all.
, how can he say random things.
There is a lot of gossip in the city, and sooner or later it will reach Zhao Genghong's ears, so there is no rush.
The incident was so shocking that Zhao Genghong couldn't believe it for a moment.
"You said Li Bozhi was hacked to death in the street next to the vegetable market?"
"Yes, this junior has seen it with his own eyes."
Zhao Genghong felt his whole body was shocked. Thinking of the serious face he saw in the hall today, his heart tightened.
"If that's the case, what about my son? How was he arrested, and how will he be tried in the future?"
"The first thing to do when a new official takes office is that the new county magistrate is eager to establish his prestige. Mr. Zhao is afraid that he has played into the hands of others. Things are a bit difficult to handle! Besides, Mr. Zhao has been arrested once before, and the county magistrate is clearly targeting him.
I’ve killed Mr. Zhao! It’s not easy to save people!”
Wang Yixiu took advantage of Zhao Genghong's eagerness to save his son and deliberately said.
The Zhao family has someone to rely on in the capital. Now that he has offended that noble man, he must completely win over the Zhao family and stand on his side so that he can find a way out in the future.
Although Zhao Xianliang is a bastard, he is Zhao Genghong's only son. He is usually doted on, but now that he is in prison, he feels anxious and distressed.
"In your opinion, Mr. Wang, what should Zhao do?"
Hearing this, Wang Yixiu's heart immediately relaxed.
"Just wait and see what happens."
Zhao Xianliang never looked for trouble in the first place, but only took care of his own family affairs. Even in the end, Song Zeyi couldn't do anything to him and just waited to be released.
"After three to five days, if he still doesn't let him go, Mr. Zhao will take people to the Yamen to make trouble. He insists that it is a family matter. Even if the emperor comes in person, he will definitely be taken away."
Zhao Genghong squinted his eyes and admired the young man in front of him.
He is truly worthy of being the person who can replace Old Man Jiang. He has many methods and is very resourceful. He likes to deal with smart people the most. Unlike Old Man Jiang, he is stubborn and stubborn. He would not even dare to secretly transport salt goods.
, delaying business in vain.
Now that the Jiang family has changed its head, this deal can be revived.
"The good prince is really a hero from a young age. He is very thoughtful and considerate. I feel inferior to you. I really admire him. Whenever he opens his mouth in the future, I will definitely help him."
Wang Yixiu was also in a happy mood, and the two of them drank several large drinks before they could stop.
"Zhao has a business here recently. I wonder if Mr. Wang will do it?"
"What business?"
Although Wang Yixiu has a distinguished status now, who would dislike a lot of money?
"Smuggling salt is risky, but I have already taken care of it in Kyoto. Nothing will happen. All I need is the prince's nod."
He needs to recruit someone to fight this batch of salt with him. He can't swallow it by himself.
"Okay, Mr. Zhao is happy, I will accept this deal."
After finalizing their decision, the two of them were quite happy and drank for a while before they dispersed one after another.
At home, Su Xiao has not been idle these days. She has carefully explored another good restaurant and paid a deposit to purchase it.
Everyone is doing business, and you must not miss a good opportunity because of other things.
"Let's just take care of this one. You guys need to take your time to clean it up. I'll come back to tidy up the inside after a while."
Don't worry, she still has to prepare something else.
Su Xiao thought for a long time, then got up and went to Su Moyuan's house.
But he never expected to see Ling Shuang at the door.
