Zhao Jin chuckled and said, "Get ready to welcome guests."
As expected.
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the government office door.
"Sir, Mr. Chen of the Chen family is outside the door asking to see you."
Zhao Jin didn't even raise his head and said directly: "Invite people to the hall."
Zhao Jin had a vague guess as to whether Mr. Chen would come and why.
After the yamen guards brought the people into the hall, they left Mr. Chen and an attendant waiting in the hall.
"That's too much!" Mr. Chen slapped the table hard.
There was not even a cup of tea, and no one was waiting in the hall.
The attendant also looked unhappy, "Sir, please wait a moment, I'll go down and ask them for tea!"
"Go ahead."
Mr. Chen held his crutches with both hands and sneered, "You really are a dishonorable person, and you don't even know how to treat guests!"
Just as the attendant was about to leave, Zhao Jin came towards him and heard what Mr. Chen said.
"What the old man said is biased."
Zhao Jin put his hands behind his back and his eyes were as bright as a torch as Shi Shiran walked into the hall.
"Is it biased?"
As if he was angry, Mr. Chen actually smiled and said, "You haven't even had a cup of tea. Don't you have no self-cultivation at all?"
This is already a roundabout way of mocking Zhao Jin for his lack of cultivation.
"Mr. Chen said this because he felt that Prince Liang's education to the prince was too poor?" Zhao Jin stared at Mr. Chen with a cold expression on his lips.
"This man is born with grades of three, six or nine. Similarly, some people are born extremely smart, while others are stupid. This has nothing to do with Prince Liang's palace."
Zhao Jin smiled and sat down on the other side of Mr. Chen, "Mr. Chen, have you ever heard that if you dye it green, you will be green, and if you dye it yellow, you will be yellow?"
"I'm accusing Prince Liang's Mansion every word," Zhao Jin's voice became cold and stern in vain, "Mr. Chen is really so bold!"
Being suddenly put on such a high hat, Mr. Chen couldn't help but exert force on his crutches.
"Hmph! Mr. Zhao, I think we should talk about business!" Mr. Chen changed the subject rather hastily.
Zhao Jin laughed, but did not continue to chase.
"Why did Mr. Chen come here today?"
"Why do you need to ask questions when you already know?"
Zhao Jin pretended to suddenly realize, "That's right! Mr. Chen must have come here for the sake of the second master of the Chen family, right? I have forgotten that the villain captured yesterday was none other than the second master of the Chen family."
"Then..." Zhao Jin said with some hesitation, "The old man came here today to plead for Chen Chao, right?"
Mr. Chen hit the ground twice with his crutch, "Master Zhao! Is it possible that you insist on having trouble with my Chen family?"
"Ha! If they violate laws and disciplines, I will certainly arrest them."
Zhao Jin's eyes turned cold and he refused to give in.
"Could it be that you, the Chen family, are capable of committing adultery and evil?!"
Of course, Mr. Chen would not dare to admit these words, but wealthy gentry and government officials often have unwritten rules. Most people turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Who would care about it like Zhao Jin?
in the end?
"Sir Zhao, please don't give me such a high ranking title again!" Mr. Chen's eyes flashed as he stared at Zhao Jin closely. "Don't you think you have to fight against us gentry for the sake of those unruly people?"
What the words refer to is not just the arrest of Chen Chao by Zhao Jin for being a tenant, but also the matter of household registration.
Zhao Jin's face was completely cold, and his eyes fell on Mr. Chen, with a chill, "Going against you? Mr. Chen, I am just doing things in accordance with the law!"
"As long as those people are my own people, I will protect them!"
Mr. Chen seemed to have heard something extremely funny and actually laughed out loud.
"Master Zhao, I really never thought that you could be so naive."
He no longer had the anger he had at the beginning, but instead showed a look of pity, "Many young people who have just entered the officialdom are like adults. Unfortunately, in the end they can only do nothing and obey the rules of the officialdom."
Zhao Jin just smiled and said nothing.
Seeing Zhao Jinming's stubbornness, Mr. Chen sneered, "Let's see how long Mr. Zhao can hold on! I hope Mr. Zhao won't regret it in the future!"
"I, Zhao Jin, just don't know how to write the word regret."
Looking at Mr. Chen's back as he tossed his sleeves and left, Zhao Jin picked up the tea cup that had just been placed on his hand, took a sip, and told the Yamen Guard beside him: "Go tell Wei Liang, be careful these days, Chen
The family will not let it go."
Not only the Chen family, but also the wealthy gentry who were put together.
However, Zhao Jin never expected that things would happen so quickly.
The next day, there was a lot of noise and a large number of wealthy gentry gathered in front of the Yamen.
When Zhao Jin came out quietly, he roughly counted seven or eight families, and each family brought many nurses or servants with them.
And Wei Liang stood together with the government guards, his face ashen.
"The Sheriff is here! The Sheriff is here!"
Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes instantly fell on Zhao Jin.
Those people did not argue with Wei Liang and others, but directly said to Zhao Jin: "Sir! You must make the decision for us!"
"Quiet!" Zhao Jin lowered his face and shouted loudly.
The noisy and noisy gentry suddenly fell silent.
After Zhao Jin lowered his face, his aura was too strong, let alone roaring.
When they finally calmed down, Zhao Jin's expression softened, "If you make any noise in front of the government office again in the future, don't blame me for punishing you first!"
After frightening the people, Zhao Jin asked: "What happened?"
Wei Liang was about to step forward to report, but was overtaken by a wealthy gentleman with an angry expression.
"Sir! You have to make the decision for us!"
He pointed at Wei Liang angrily, "This Treasurer Wei! Under the guise of verifying household registration, he took the opportunity to search our mansion, seize our property, and connived at his subordinates to steal property!"
"Stealing property?" Zhao Jin frowned and his eyes fell on Wei Liang.
"Sir! I don't have any subordinates!" The Yamen Guard, who had been anxious all the time, was so excited when he heard the other party's words that he couldn't help but defend himself.
"Xiaguan didn't steal. He just saw a hosta dropped on the ground, so he picked it up."
He was really in trouble and couldn't tell. When he saw the jade hairpin, he was obsessed with money, so he picked it up secretly, thinking that no one would see it. Unexpectedly, he turned around and was framed for theft.
"The lower official is just a little greedy and picked up a hairpin. He would never dare to steal it!"
Zhao Jin realized this time that this was probably a game they had set up deliberately, betting that someone would be as obsessed with money as this Yamen Guard.
"Pick it up?" The wealthy gentleman suddenly became unhappy. He was the wealthy gentleman from the family that was stolen.
Pointing at the yamen guard, with a rather dissatisfied expression, "What you said is really funny! That jade hairpin costs hundreds of taels of silver. My wife cherishes it very much. She would not wear it normally. I just wanted to wear it that day when I saw it."
