One hundred and seventy-eighth chapter set by this official
The arrester and all the government guards turned a deaf ear to their scoldings.
Zhao Jin had just returned from the military camp. After taking a bath, he heard that the group of Western businessmen who had been arrested were back.
Zhao Jin paused and laughed, "I'm more out of control than I thought."
Yang Xu, who followed Zhao Jin, remained silent.
Most people were tricked and lost more than a hundred king taels in one fell swoop. Few people should be able to calm down.
Zhao Jin, who originally wanted to go to the study, changed direction and headed towards the lobby of the government office.
"Let's go and have a look."
When Zhao Jin arrived at the lobby, more than twenty Western businessmen were tied up and kneeling on the ground, with government guards standing on both sides, staring closely at these Western businessmen.
The moment Zhao Jin's figure appeared in the lobby, those Western businessmen seemed to have seen a life-saving straw.
"Master Sheriff! The Lin family has deceived us for more than one million taels, and we still ask you to make the decision for us!" Xiti cried while recalling how the Zhao people faced the imperial officials.
He followed the example of the Zhao people he had seen before and struggled to give Zhao Jin a crack.
Zhao Jin's expression did not change, as if he did not hear Xiti's voice or see them, he went straight to the top and sat down.
"Did the Lin family lie to you?" Zhao Jin raised his eyes and looked at the embarrassed group of people below.
Fatiris responded hurriedly: "That's right, the Sheriff must make the decision for us!"
Xiti next to her gritted her teeth and said cruelly: "If you can help us recover this money, we, we are willing to give one-tenth of it to you as a thank you gift."
One-tenth of more than one million taels of silver is as much as one hundred thousand.
Zhao Jin smiled and said, "You are quite capable of being ruthless."
Seeing Zhao Jin's smile, Xiti breathed a sigh of relief.
What a drama! It seems that this county governor is a money-lover!
Zhao Jin glanced at Xiti, the leader, and saw what he had in mind.
"Xiti." Zhao Jin called in a deep voice.
Xiti was stunned for a moment. How could the county guard know his name?
He glanced sideways at the catcher standing next to him, and thought to himself: Could it be that the catcher said that?
But he never mentioned his name, and the other party probably didn't know it either.
Xiti couldn't understand, so she had to respond to Zhao Jin first, "Sir, the common people are here."
If he did not respond to the governor, it seems that he would be punished with a crime of disrespect in Zhao State.
"Do you know how they developed the method for firing glass?"
Xiti was stunned and looked at Zhao Jin with a confused expression.
"They should have discovered it when they were developing the method of making colored glaze." He expressed his innermost guess.
They had always known that the Zhao people were looking for a way to make colored glaze, but they thought it would be impossible for them to discover it.
After all, who would have expected that expensive colored glaze would be made from worthless sand?
Because of this idea, although Xiti was surprised when she heard the shopkeeper say that, she didn't think much about it.
But now...
Xiti looked at the faint smile on Zhao Jin's lips and felt that something was not right.
Zhao Jin looked down at Xiti and said unhurriedly: "I told them."
With a light word, Xiti seemed to feel a very heavy force, hitting him directly on the head, making him feel dizzy.
What did the Sheriff say?
At the end of the day, the news came one after another, which made this group of Western businessmen almost lose their ability to react.
It took a while to realize what Zhao Jin meant.
Zhao Jin said nothing and waited quietly for them to come to their senses.
"Sir, what do you mean?" Xiti swallowed and tried her best to suppress the speculation in her heart.
Zhao Jin opened his eyelids, the original smile had disappeared, and there was no emotion or anger in his voice.
"Mr. Xiti doesn't know?"
Zhao Jin called "Sir" in his mouth, but his tone was filled with an unknown sarcasm.
"I gave them the glass-making method, and I told them that your glass is made from sand."
Zhao Jin put his hands on the table and stared at Xiti, his eyes gradually becoming colder. "This situation was set up by me."
His voice was calm throughout.
But Xiti broke her voice directly.
"Why! We have no grudges against you! Why do you want to target us like this?!"
The other merchants below were stunned by the meaning of Zhao Jin's words.
"Why?"
Zhao Jin twitched the corners of his lips and looked at Xiti with cold and sharp eyes.
When Xiti raised her head and looked at Zhao Jin, she even vaguely thought that a cold sharp blade was cutting away against her skin, and she didn't know when it would cut his skin.
The two looked at each other for only a moment before Xiti couldn't bear it anymore and lowered her head.
"You are teasing me, the Zhao people, and the people of Yunzhou City, like fools, and you actually ask me why?"
Xiti trembled his lips and could not say a word. Under Zhao Jin's gaze, his throat seemed to be pinched by someone. He had a long mouth, but no sound came out.
As for the rest of the Western businessmen, even Xiti, who was always eloquent, had no words to refute. How could they dare to argue with Zhao Jin?
I heard that in Zhao State, the highest officer of a county is the county governor.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Not to mention that the money could not be recovered, but he had offended a high official for nothing.
Yang Xu watched from the side without saying a word, but when he glanced at these Western businessmen, he seemed to be looking at the dead.
"Even so, I don't have money and goods at the beginning." After a long time, Xiti held her neck and bravely said.
Zhao Jin nodded without refuting, "That's true."
He looked at Xiti and reminded him quietly, "So it will be the same today."
When Xiti heard what Zhao Jin had said before, she knew that the more than one million taels could no longer be recovered. Even though she was angry in her heart, she did not dare to confront Zhao Jin.
He secretly glanced at the government guards on both sides, his eyes showing fear.
Zhao Jin took all this into consideration, "So, what else do you have to say?"
"No more!" Xiti's cheeks tightened, and you could faintly see the muscles on both sides trembling due to the forbearance.
"Okay!" Zhao Jin's voice rose in vain. He pressed his right hand on the Jingmu Hall, picked it up suddenly, and patted it down quickly and vigorously!
"Crack!"
"In this case, I have something to say!"
"You are causing trouble in the Lin family's shop. The Lin family has already told you that they will not be held accountable for the damage caused by the damage. However, you must pay compensation to the Lin family for the damaged items!"
The Western businessmen looked up in shock. This time, not only did they not get their money back, but they had to pay out another sum?
Zhao Jin would not care about the annoyance and secret hatred in the hearts of this group of people. If it were not for the lack of money and goods, there would be no way to fix them from the Liuli incident.
