The master was already sweating profusely at this moment, "Listen to Mr. Ye Ying, the villain has a wrong memory, a wrong memory."
How can he not be afraid, this is not just a matter of false communication, if the county master finds out that he has accepted bribes from Jin Zixu, not only will he lose his job, but he may even have to go to prison.
Chu Rong saw the fear of this man, and thought to herself, why should I have known today. Wouldn't it be nice to be a master in An'an's place?
Chu Rong and Huang Shuhai greeted Bufan enthusiastically, "Brother Shuhai, Mrs. Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you free today?"
Not to mention, although Chu Rong and Huang Shuhai looked down on Bu Fan at first, after getting along with each other for this period of time, the two gradually adapted to Qi Bufan's official accent.
"Besides, it really takes a lot of trouble for us poor people to meet the county magistrate once."
"I'm ashamed, I have to deal with a lot of official documents today, so I can't take care of them."
Bu Fan noticed the injury on Huang Shuhai's arm at this time, and asked with concern, "Brother Shuhai, what's wrong?"
So Chu Rong and Huang Shuhai told Bufan all about the encounter with the assassin in the alley.
Bu Fan was furious when he heard this, and changed his usual meek expression, "It's unreasonable, people in broad daylight dare to assassinate, it's lawless!"
"Brother Shuhai, do you know who did it?"
Huang Shuhai shook his head. Even though he, like Chu Rong, believed that he was a member of the Jinzi School, there was no evidence, so it was hard to say anything.
"Master Bu, we came here today not only because of Shuhai's injury." Chu Rong took out Xingyulou's account book from her arms and handed it to Bu Fan.
Bu Fan was suspicious at first, and Chu Rong gave him a look to signal him to open it.
It doesn't matter if you don't read it, as soon as you open it, Bu Fan is really angry. The turnover is clearly written so much, but the tax is not even a fraction.
"It's unreasonable!" Bu Fan slapped the account book on the table at once, "No wonder this Xingyulou looks prosperous, but I have never seen it on the list of big taxpayers. It turns out that they are engaging in these crooked ways."
If it weren't for Chu Rong and his wife to send over the ledger, Xing Yulou would have to drink more blood.
"Brother Shuhai, Miss Chu, don't worry, no matter what, that Jin Zixu will definitely be punished as he should."
In fact, Bu Fan has always known that Jin Zixu's background is not simple. If he is a small official with no background, he might not be able to pry him. So he wrote a letter and sent it back to his uncle who was still Zhongyong Hou, so that he and the emperor could strictly clarify this matter.
In the palace, Emperor Qiyuan was practicing calligraphy in his study, while Concubine Ruan was grinding for him.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Zhongyong is begging to see you." Li Zhong walked in with his waist down.
"It's all down, and Shen Ru came to bother me." Although Emperor Qiyuan said this, he gestured with his hand to let Concubine Ruan on the side to withdraw.
Concubine Ruan naturally understood, blessed her body silently, and withdrew. The emperor and his courtiers talked about important court affairs before, so she, a concubine in the harem, listened to them.
After a while, Zhongyong Hou Shen Ru came in.
"Aiqing, what's the rush, you have to come to the study to bother me."
"The humble minister dare not."
"I said Shen Aiqing, this is not the previous dynasty, can you relax a bit, don't keep bowing your head to me, I am upset."
"My minister obeys." Shen Ru still lowered his waist and bowed.
"That's all, what's the matter, Ai Qing, please tell me." The emperor was talking, but he didn't look at Shen Ru, still obsessed with his calligraphy.
"Bufan sent me a letter today from Feige."
"Isn't he in charge of Wen County? Just let him take care of the big and small things over there. What else do you need to ask for instructions? And the matter of grain seeds has come to an end. He takes care of other small disputes by himself. How can I entrust him with important tasks in the future?"
"Huang Shang, this time is not a trivial matter, it is about General Jin."
It turned out that this Jin Zixu was the adoptive son of General Jin Wu, who had only received it in the past two years. However, Jin Wu's attitude towards Jin Zixu is actually very ordinary, and he doesn't like him very much, just because he is capable and seldom talks, so he is given the title of adopted son in the future.
And Jin Zixu always likes to do things in secret and doesn't like to show off, so not many people know him. However, Jin Wu handed over many things to be done to Jin Zixu.
Jin Zixu originally handled some business matters for Jin Wu. Later, when he passed by Wen County, he heard about Chu Rong's business.The story of starting from scratch is like meeting her for a while, and opening a shop opposite Chu Rong's shop for a while.
Originally, Jin Zixu was bound to win, but he didn't expect that not long after opening the shop, almost all the customers were attracted by the opposite party, so he cheated secretly. He wasn't greedy for money, he just wanted to take the opportunity to close down Chu Rong's shop. After all, he has never been the kind of person who takes second place.
