Chapter 343 Everything is ready

Chu Qing, who was among the crowd, suddenly made a bold guess.

The scar-faced man the marketing account old man talked about couldn't be the third brother, right?

Thinking back to what Fu San said in the government office before, Hu Ben took the lead and led the new soldiers, Chu Qing was a little confused.

Just when Chu Qing was confused, he suddenly heard a smart voice.

"My aunt wants to report Chen's Pharmacy. Mr. Ma is the great master of Qingtian. He wants to seek justice for us."

Chu Qing always felt that this voice was a bit familiar, and he followed the voice and looked, and sure enough, a handsome figure stood outside the door of Jingzhao Mansion, looking like he was afraid of the world, and kept waving his hands to arouse everyone's emotions.

Although her back was turned and she was wearing a sarong that was no different from the common people, Chu Qing could recognize it just by looking at her legs. It was Tao Ruolin.

Of course, in addition to the legs, there is also a potato mine next to it, as well as many Tao family farmers, making it highly recognizable.

It took Chu Qing a long time to squeeze through, and then he saw that Tao Ruolin was still holding a handful of dried fruits in her hand, eating and watching the fun at the same time.

The villagers recognized Chu Qing and quickly dispersed to protect him. They did their duty better than the imperial guards and Qianqiying Tanma. Several of them had grateful expressions on their faces. They were all new faces. They were originally poor refugees and were replaced by Tao Ruolin.

I bought it for zero yuan and became a dealer in Taojia Zhuangzi.

Chu Qing patted Tao Ruolin on the shoulder, startling the latter.

Tao Ruolin turned around and saw that it was Chu Qing, her smiling eyes were like crescent moons: "It's you, Commander Chu, the number one hidden weapon master in Zhongzhou."

Chu Qing: "..."

Bihua pouted and glanced at Chu Qing. When she looked at Chu Qing, she thought of her poor, heartbreaking, melancholy third brother.

Tao Ruolin tilted her head and smiled even more: "Pebble Hero, why are you here?"

"I…"

Tao Ruolin looked around: "You arranged it, right? One-legged Young Master."

Chu Qing was finally convinced.

After a while, I had three nicknames.

Tao Ruolin's smile faded, she looked around, and asked softly in a serious tone: "Is Mr. Chu... planning to throw stones at someone again..."

Before she even finished speaking, Tao Ruolin couldn't pretend anymore and was trembling with joy.

Chu Qing was not surprised at all.

He knew that this matter would definitely be laughed at for the rest of his life, and sure enough.

"Sister, can we stop making trouble? Why are you here?" Chu Qing frowned and asked, "Did you plan this?"

"I'm here to see the fun."

"Nothing to do with you?"

"I came to the city to buy cloth for Bihua. She can't buy ready-made clothes. I..."

"Miss, don't talk nonsense!" Bihua blushed in embarrassment and stomped her foot, almost breaking the green bricks on the ground.

Chu Qing subconsciously took a step back. If he stepped on him, he would at least be a paraplegic.

Tao Ruolin looked puzzled: "Isn't it your plan for people to report merchants?"

Chu Qing shook his head, looking a little strange.

Tao Ruolin appeared here because she was watching the excitement. This means that it was probably caused by Fu San?

The question is third brother...does he have the IQ to know that he is a bastard?

Jiang Yuesheng came over and bowed when he saw Tao Ruolin there. However, like Chu Qing, he did not immediately suspect that it was Tao Ruolin who set up the trap because he had found out clearly.

Jiang Yuesheng said in a low voice: "Mr. Chu, let me ask you clearly. Initially, it was because a scar-faced man came to Jingzhao Mansion. Because of the notice posted a few days ago, he reported a shop. Jingzhao Mansion investigated it and took him into custody.

Seized it, and according to the notice, rewarded the man a lot of money. The man bragged to everyone he met, and went to a gambling stall in Bei City, spending a lot of money. After losing all, he ran back to Jingzhao Mansion, just like before, he was also a denouncer.

After going to a shop twice in a row, the matter spread. After that, several people reported on the merchants like that man. However, these people all seemed to be members of the military. One of them accidentally revealed his badge from the Beijing camp. After that,

In less than two hours, people came in droves and reported on some unscrupulous businessmen, and many people even refused to keep their names anonymous."

Chu Qing was almost certain that it was Fu San.

Scarface, if he goes to a gambling stall and asks Jingwei to act as a trustee, isn't that what he is?

"Let's go and ask Mr. Ma."

Chu Qing urgently needs an answer now. It's not why the people are crazy, nor how many merchants have been investigated, but Fu San. He wants to know where the pebbles hit Fu San a few days ago. The sequelae are so serious.

?

Chu Qing walked away and looked back at Tao Ruolin: "Are you coming?"

"You go first, I want to watch the excitement for a while."

As Tao Ruolin spoke, she took out a pamphlet, looked down at it, and then waved her pink fist and shouted: "There is also Yun Yaji, the paintings and calligraphy are all fakes, Master Ma, check it out quickly."

Chu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and squeezed in with Jiang Yuesheng and others.

The guard guarding the gate was sharp-eyed and saw Chu Qing, so he quickly moved the wooden fence away.

All the way to the main hall, Ma Ruizheng and a group of clerks were recording something, and their official robes were wet with sweat.

"Master Ma." Chu Qing walked over and cupped his hands.

"Master Chu, you are finally here."

As soon as he saw Chu Qing, Ma Rui cried bitterly: "It's chaos, there's a big chaos, people are rushing to report, just the shops in Beishi, nine out of ten will be reported!"

Chu Qing casually glanced at the documents compiled by the clerk, and was shocked.

In one booklet alone, there are more than 30 shops recorded, very detailed, where the people living there reported them, when they bought what, how much old grain and rotten rice they had, etc.

Forget it, there are still many people who report for extremely ridiculous reasons. The waiter in the store makes bad remarks, which generally means that the service attitude is not good.

There are also stories about which shop has a shortage of goods, pickles with stones in them, medicines that are taken cannot cure diseases, and so on.

In fact, most of them are rice and grain shops, and others are shops selling people's livelihood necessities. Like what Tao Ruolin just called outside selling fake calligraphy and paintings, there are none. After all, ordinary people can't just save a few years to buy one.

A calligraphy and painting that is completely incomprehensible.

Chu Qing picked up the book and glanced at it briefly, his brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan".

"Many of the shops are owned by real aristocratic families. They are rich and powerful. They only sell grain for a fraction of a pound, and they even want to cheat the common people out of their pennies?"

Jiang Yuesheng intervened and explained: "That's not the case. Although a well-established family does business, the direct descendants are responsible for caravans and bulk purchases. For the shops opened in Bei City, the storekeepers are mostly outsiders.

It’s cheap for the common people.”

Chu Qing groaned and understood.

It is impossible for the family members and courtiers to tell the shopkeepers that they are not interested in "retailing" because of the few pennies earned by the common people. On the contrary, it is the outside shopkeepers who take advantage in the middle and bully the common people to get a little profit.

Looking at Ma Rui, Chu Qing asked: "This situation should be discussed in court, right?"

"Yes!" Ma Rui's eyes lit up: "We have all the witnesses and material evidence, and we can submit a letter tomorrow."

Chu Qing nodded.

The people enthusiastically reported it, and some young scholars in Shilin were also scolding them. Once dear Ma Rui mentioned this matter in the court, it would definitely attract attention. The rest depends on whether the emperor and himself have a tacit understanding.
