The businessmen looked at each other. They had never seen such an official in their lives!
The businessman who was so arrogant just now has completely withered now.
Qin Feng has sent someone to deliver the message to the inn. It is obvious that he is not just talking about it, but actually wants to interfere in Beixi's business.
Pursuing profit is the nature of businessmen.
After a moment of weighing the pros and cons, all the merchants on site, except Fangtingshan, turned against each other.
After sweeping away the aggressive posture just now, they all smiled and saluted Qin Feng. For a while, all kinds of flattery sounds echoed in the lobby of the county government office.
"Hahaha, Master Qin has misunderstood. We are just trying your determination. Since you care so much about the new rules, we will naturally cooperate fully."
"Beixi County has been harmed by Chen Li for many years, and the people have already been boiling with resentment. Before, we dared not speak out in anger. Now that Mr. Qin is in charge, we must also contribute."
"That's right! Mr. Qin, please feel free to implement the new rules."
Qin Feng snorted coldly in his heart. These so-called businessmen would fall out of favor faster than flipping through a book. If he hadn't been tough enough, he might have been eaten by these profit-seeking wolves.
However, the reorganization of Beixi's business will not be achieved overnight, and now Beixi is suffering from internal and external troubles. If he can temporarily live in peace with the Beixi gentry, Qin Feng himself will be happy to see it happen.
But today's matter must not be given up so easily.
If you want to be tough, be tough to the end and let all walks of life in Beixi know that there is only one person in Beixi County who can be the master of the country, and that is Qin Feng.
At this time, Fang Tingshan's face was extremely gloomy.
He never dreamed that these so-called allies and businessmen would betray him without batting an eyelid.
Just when Fangtingshan secretly vowed to retaliate against Qin Feng and even the entire Beixi business community, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He looked up and felt a thump in his heart. Qin Feng had left the desk and stood there. In front of him, a weird smile appeared that made people hair-raising.
Fang Tingshan swallowed his saliva, subconsciously took a step back, and stammered: "Qin... Mr. Qin, what are you going to do?"
Qin Feng reached out and patted Fang Tingshan on the shoulder, pretending to be "you are not good": "You are taking the lead in making trouble, right? Are you refusing to cooperate with the implementation of the county government's new regulations? I now strongly suspect that you are deliberately weakening Beixi. Strength, create opportunities for Beidi spies to invade the hinterland of Daliang, tell me, when did you and the Beidi people hook up?"
These words almost scared Fang Tingshan to death.
His face instantly turned as pale as paper, and his voice trembled violently: "You...how can you spit on others? As the chief businessman of Beixi County, I can only live a good life. I risk complicity with the nine tribes and collude with the Beidi people. What do I want? Qin Sir, you are clearly framed on purpose, so why bother trying to incriminate yourself?!"
Qin Feng curled his lips and spread his hands: "I told you, I'm just doubtful. Why are you nervous?"
"As the magistrate of Beixi County, I shoulder the heavy responsibility of blocking the infiltration of Beidi spies. I have the right and reason to suspect anyone of having foreign connections."
Speaking of this, Qin Feng said solemnly: "I will never let a bad person go, and I will never wrongly accuse a good person. If you are innocent, I will naturally let you go home. But you can cooperate with the investigation, right? As the saying goes, those who confess will be treated with leniency, while those who resist will be treated with strictness.”
Fang Tingshan had a big mouth, and his eyes finally showed a hint of fear when he looked at Qin Feng.
The young man in front of me has such a tough wrist!
Before Fang Tingshan could react, two guards had already grabbed Fang Tingshan's shoulders, made a "please" gesture, and said fiercely: "Please also ask the landlord to cooperate with the investigation, please."
Then they pushed and pushed Fang Tingshan into the squad room.
As for when the investigation will be clear, it will probably have to wait until the new regulations are implemented, right?
The merchants at the scene also had pale faces and chills on their backs.
No one expected that the young county magistrate in front of him would be so ruthless, and he would be arrested at the behest of Beixi's chief businessman.
Competing with such ruthless officials is simply asking for death.
All the merchants looked at each other, not daring to hesitate at all, and knelt down to salute.
"The Beixi business community is willing to contribute its modest efforts to Mr. Qin."
At the same time, the people gathered outside the Yamen were surprised and looked at Qin Feng with extremely hot eyes.
Even if Chen Li wanted to make money in Beixi County, he would have to look at the faces of these wealthy gentry and kneel down to collect the money.
The money of the wealthy gentry will be returned in full, and the money of the common people will be divided into 30-70 accounts.
But now, the seemingly immature Qin Feng in front of him actually "tamed" the wealthy Beixi gentry on the spot with his strong iron fist!
This kind of feat is simply beyond the understanding of the common people.
There was dead silence.
After a while, until the people recovered from the shock, the scene immediately erupted into deafening cheers.
An old man burst into tears with excitement. He held on to the fence at the gate of the government office and said with a trembling voice, "I, Beixi County, are saved. Mr. Qin is really sent by God to save us."
"Even these wealthy gentry with big trees and deep roots are so vulnerable to Lord Qin. The new rules formulated by Lord Qin will definitely be implemented in full. Our good days are finally coming."
A middle-aged woman stretched out her hand and pressed hard on her son's head: "Kowtow to Lord Qin quickly. Remember, in Beixi County, besides father and mother, there is another parent, Lord Qin." Na."
Li Xiaolan, who had been hiding behind the curtain, looked at the excited people outside the door through the gap, a look of pride flashed on her face.
Looking down, he found that the chicken soup in his hand had already cooled down, and he couldn't help but smile again.
I was so mesmerized by what I was watching just now that I actually forgot about the real thing.
Li Xiaolan immediately turned around and returned to the kitchen, replacing it with a bowl of steaming chicken soup. When she returned to the lobby, the gathered people had dispersed one after another under the orderly supervision of the guards.
This sudden man-made disaster came to an end with Qin Feng's steely wrists.
Qin Feng wiped away his high spirits and became sluggish again, leaning on the chair with a look of despair.
Seeing that Li Xiaolan finally came back, Qin Feng couldn't help but lamented: "Sister, I..."
Before Qin Feng could finish what he said, Li Xiaolan interrupted with a smile and shook his head, whispering softly: "I know everything."
Then he put the chicken soup on the desk, pulled up a chair and sat next to Qin Feng, held the exhausted Qin Feng in his arms, fed him a spoonful of chicken soup as tenderly as water, and then patted and supported Qin Feng. , said nothing, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Feng fell asleep.
Li Xiaolan just held Qin Feng in her arms, looking at her peaceful sleeping face. It was difficult to associate her with the iron-fisted county magistrate who had just suppressed the Beixi business community with just a few clicks.
Li Xiaolan bit her thin lips lightly, stretched out her hand to touch Qin Feng's forehead, sighed softly, and said distressedly: "You are the only male in the Qin family, I have suffered so much for you..."
