Chapter 11: Seeking profits and avoiding harms

When the head of the money leopard, Wang Biao, heard this, was shocked and said intimidly: Whose words is this? I had to discuss this with Chen Dutou, but I couldn't help but feel like this earth-sitting tiger? Could it be that Chen Dutou secretly made friends with this guy? As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but sweat. He hurriedly wiped his sweat and said in a hurry: "Don't talk nonsense, this is what he heard, how can I take it true? Do not be instigated. It will ruin my brotherhood!"

The two were talking when a friend suddenly broke in and gasped, "Master, it's not good. Today, the young people went to those three big families to buy live pigs, but they all made excuses not to sell them. I also heard that our family's supply will be cut off in the future."

Wang Biao was furious when he heard this and shouted, "But those Wang Bashes are brave enough? I'll pay attention to them again!"

The mate hesitated again: "Master, I heard that those three families are not only going to cut off their supply, but also going to the state yamen to file a lawsuit against the high-ranking officials. I'm afraid that it has arrived now!"

While he was talking, someone suddenly shouted outside the shop, "Would you see Wang Biao, the head of the money leopard, come in?" Before he finished speaking, the door there was suddenly kicked open. A knife-wielding in with four or five officers. Pu Yi entered, and shouted at Wang Biao, "You are so unreasonable. You are determined to seize the territory of Zheng Daguanren. You are crazy and you want to frame him. He even instigated Li Daguanren to monopolize this place, but you still want me to join you. He is shameless!"

"Don't let the Lord Dutou accuse the villain. Zheng Tu was beaten by the throne-in-chief. What's the matter with me? The shop in Zhuangyuan Bridge is not his own income. How can I use it? The day before yesterday, Li Xiang, the tiger sitting in the ground, wanted to rob my shop, so he just dealt with him and coaxed him with words. Then he discussed with Lord Dutou how to protect the villain's shop from being taken away. Now, Lord Dutou said this, and the villain dared not be stubborn. However, whether it is fair or not, I hope Lord Dutou will clearly observe!" It was obvious that Wang Biao had already understood that Chen Dutou was already in the same group as Li Xiang. At this time, he would definitely be trying to stand up for Zheng Tu. He gritted his teeth and took it out, just pulling Chen Dutou into the water.

Chen Du said furiously: "You guy dare to argue. Brothers, please lock this guy up and take it to the state yamen to make a reason." After that, three or four yamen runners behind him were about to come with iron chains in their hands.

Wang Biao hurriedly said, "In that case, even if you want to lock me, you have to have a reason. There is a small master here who cares about his husband and a prefecture, and there is a magistrate who is clear about his hair. You must not allow you to take someone like this."

Chen Dutou sneered: "It's better for you to understand that someone has already sued you in the magistrate's yamen. He just said that you forced to buy, sell, seize wealth, and kill money. If you do this, can you still be cunning? You won't lock it up with me!" He shouted, and a yamen runner came forward like a wolf or a tiger and locked the guy up.

At this time, Chen Du said to Li Xiang who was smiling and said, "I hope Master Li will go to the yamen runners to testify."

Li Xiang naturally agreed, and bowed his hand with Chen Du, locked Wang Biao and went straight to the prefecture yard. Wang Biao was locked and shouted in clamor. At the top scholar's bridge, everyone watched and pointed at it.

An old man shook his head and said, "The evil ones will be beaten by the evil ones. The truth of heaven is indeed circulating, and retribution is unhappy. In this world, the revenge is revenge, and there is no better thing than an old man to listen to music and eat tea!" While speaking, he was about to leave, but a casual man beside him curled his lips and said, "Do you, old man, only know this? When Luti beat Zheng Daguanren before, he also heard this sentence!"

The old man laughed and said, "The Zheng Daguanren was a villain at that time, but now he doesn't know who he is. Seeing that the money leopard head was also consuming his methods, it was stirring up the muddy waters of Weizhou." After that, he ignored the idle man and shook his head and looked away from the teahouse.

The idle man couldn't help but sneer: "But he was a crazy person. It was not the method of Zheng Daguanren. It was obviously the method of sitting on the ground tiger. Then Li Daguanren is so powerful."

Not to mention these gossips. Wang Biao, the head of the money leopard, shouted injustice all the way, but he was rolling his eyes and giving advice along the way. When he arrived at the prefectural yard, the magistrate was sitting in the hall, and Wang Biao recognized the three people lying down and kneeling. They were all rich families who were sank in Weizhou City. The old man was Zheng Zixiao’s father, and the other two were Zhang Youcai and Xun Jiu.

The head of the prefecture rank was Zhou, and his name was Bindao. He was originally a Jinshi during the Zhenghe period. Now he has been a magistrate of the prefecture. He is also a sixth-rank local official. However, Weizhou is located in the northwest border and has a strong position as a military strategist. How could he have the opportunity to take over the power and make it bigger? For all matters, he asked the military strategist for instructions to implement it. Naturally, he would live like a year, and he would only spend some time, just waiting for some money in the future and get far away from this place.

"You have forcibly occupied Zheng Tu's shop, forced to buy three stores, framed Li Xiang in the east of the city, and bribed Shangguan with a crime?" Zhou Zhizhou shouted angrily. It was Shangguan's Weiyi that made Wang Biao shrink his head unconsciously and almost collapsed. He knew that this was life and death, so he could not allow him to retreat. He stood up again and said in a voice: "The villain is not guilty. All these three companies want to raise the price and want to frame me."

"Nothing nonsense, now the three companies have account books again. A few days ago, the price of selling with Zheng Tu is much higher than you, but it is not forcing you to buy it? Now the victim is here, and you cannot tolerate quibbling." Zhou Zhizhou shouted, "There is also the crime of framed others, and bribery of Shangguan can also be brought to light."

Wang Biao cried out again: "Don't listen to one sentence, villains will never do such a thing."

Zhou Zhizhou sneered and said, "You guys still have to make excuses." He shouted, "Tao Chen Du, come on one by one to tell me about this guy bribing you!"

Chen Du nodded and responded, "Yes, sir!" He turned to Wang Biao and sneered, "You guy, in order to plot against Zheng's official shop, contacted Li Daguan in the north of the city. He wanted to join forces, but he was afraid that the matter would be exposed and it was difficult to deal with it. He secretly used money to his subordinates. Naturally, his subordinates refused to join the crowd with these rascals. He stabilized him, and exposed him to the master, and at the same time handed over the silver bribe!"

Wang Biao shouted: "The villain is wronged, and this is all accusing me!"

"How vicious are you? You are just going to frame Dutou for being accused of Lord Dutou." At this time, someone beside him knelt down and shouted, "Sir, this guy wants to pull me into the water, but I don't obey, so I told Lord Dutou about this matter. Dutou and us were all indignant. But I didn't expect this guy to frame Dutou, so I hope that Lord Dutou would make the decision." The person who spoke was Li Xiang, the land tiger who had been sitting along the way.

"Unforgivable!" Seeing that there were many powerful people in the opposite direction, Wang Biao couldn't help but get anxious and crawled several steps to point at Zhou Zhizhou. Zhou Zhizhou couldn't help but say angrily: "Chen Dutou has handed over the twenty taels of silver you bribed you, so do you still want to argue?" After saying that, he threw the fire sign and shouted: "You guy, can you still mess up the court? You can't confess without fighting."

When Wang Biao heard this, he was stunned. It was obvious that two hundred taels of silver, but why did he only have twenty taels of silver? He couldn't help but struggle and was about to shout: "No, no, it's just..."

After fighting for the landing of the fire sign, Chen Du took a step forward and shouted: "Do you still want to frame someone?" After that, he spread his palm like a palm fan and beat the two of them upright and backward, and immediately fell off his teeth and his mouth was swollen. Blood was flowing, and his mouth was still hesitant, but he couldn't speak.

Another yamen runner came forward and pressed him to the ground. He slapped the board down. The guy had to hiss but only hissed, but there was only the humming sound left. Where did he say anything?

Zhou Zhizhou nodded and then sentenced: "Now, there is a thug Wang Biao in Weicheng who has occupied Zheng slaughter shop, forcibly buy and sell, frame others, and bribe the superiors. The facts are all there, and the evidence is complete. He is also sentenced to give the butcher shop in Zhuangyuanqiao that he has occupied; forcibly buy and make profits, sell Wang Biao's property, and compensate him. Li Xiang and Chen Dutou revealed that he was rewarded with merit. After the property is sold, the prisoner Wang Biao will be exiled to Dingzhou. This sentence!" He shouted again: "Are you convinced?"

When Wang Biao heard this, he was panicked and anxious, and wanted to tell the difference, but his mouth was swollen and hesitated, and hesitated and sweated like rain.

Seeing this, Chen Du bowed to Zhou Zhizhou and said, "Sir, I think someone has already accepted the law, just write a secret."

Zhu Zhizhou nodded and said, "It's so good."

Wang Biao wanted to struggle, but he fought for Chen Du's head, pinched his fingers like iron pliers, and pressed his handprints on the verdict. With a wave of his hand, he was dragged to death by a wolf-like servant, and dragged him into the prison.

"Get out!" The magistrate shouted, swayed his sleeves, and went straight to the back hall. In the back hall, he saw an old man with a green hat of about fifty years old, who was having tea on his own. When he saw the magistrate, he quickly got up to greet him.

Zhou Zhizhou smiled and said, "That guy has already been confiscated and has been exiled from afar. Is my father satisfied?"

The old man smiled and said, "It is fair for the adult to decide the case. The young man thanked him for the adults. In the future, the young man would be promoted. First, he would like to give him some Cheng Yi, and he would like to thank him in the future!"

The two of them became polite again, and the Zhou Zhizhou Fang said: "Why do Zheng Tu have some dating with the Master Lu Xun?"

The old man smiled and said, "How can adults be too talkative when doing things? Zheng Tu has been to the mansion several times, and his wife has also given some money and goods. How can we know the details?"

Zhou Zhizhou nodded and pondered. Then he heard the old man say, "Sometimes ago, my elders also said: The official wanted to open a haishi in Haizhou. I am a servant, and I should have avoided such words, but my elders have never avoided the old man."

Zhou Zhizhou was overjoyed and said, "I just saw that the master valued my father, so I thanked him!" As he said that, he bowed.

The old man nodded, and the two of them said a few more polite words. The old man wanted to say goodbye. Zhou Zhizhou took out another package and handed it to the old man, "Some small gifts, buy some fruits for my father!"

The old man nodded and smiled, took it and then said goodbye. The old man went out, but he didn't want to go upstairs. He only walked around the corner of the street in a restaurant not far away. The waiter greeted him and said, "Dad, Master Zheng is waiting upstairs, and I specially ordered the villain to face his father again."
