These merchants are not stupid, they naturally know what is going on. After going back and doing some calculations, I found that it was more cost-effective to pay! Because it’s much cheaper to pay than to have your belongings destroyed! What's more, if something is broken, you can restock it, but if your reputation is damaged, it's really not worth the gain! So many people obediently paid the monthly fee that day!
But of course there are those who pay money and those who don’t! Many merchants, relying on their strong backgrounds, not only refused to pay their monthly bills, but instead tried to beat up the Jin Yiwei who came to collect money! Fortunately, these Jin Yiwei had received instructions in advance and ran away quickly when they found out that something was wrong, but nothing serious happened!
Two days later, many merchants had already paid their monthly bills with the idea of saving money and avoiding disaster, but many people still refused to pay! They had no idea about Liu Haojia for a moment, so they bullied County Magistrate Zhang vigorously, and gathered in the lobby of the county government office to ask Magistrate Zhang to give them an explanation!
Normally, Magistrate Zhang would have begged for mercy! But today he directly asked back, how many people are there in the other party? A series of questions were asked about what they looked like, and everyone was stunned! So not only did they not question Magistrate Zhang, but they allowed him to delay solving the case indefinitely. When everyone saw Magistrate Zhang's attitude, many of them were shaken!
However, a man stood out from the crowd, pointed at the crowd and sneered at Magistrate Zhang: "Mr. Zhang, although I don't know what your purpose is, but you'd better see clearly that there is no big boss behind these people here. Which family doesn’t have a high-ranking official in the government! Can you, a small county magistrate, be able to handle this matter?"
Magistrate Zhang is disdainful because you don’t know who is behind me in sharing the spoils! But he still said calmly: "What I have done is worthy of my heart, and I will not think otherwise! I know that you are trying to put pressure on me through the officials behind me, but do you really think that I Is it comfortable for me to sit in this position? Why don't you send me out of the capital by the way, so that I can be at ease when I arrive?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then became a little discouraged! To be honest, they really understand County Magistrate Zhang’s situation! He said that if he had misfortune in his three lives, he would be attached to the county magistrate and attached to Guo; if he committed evil in his three lives, he would attach to the provincial capital of Guo; if he was full of evil, he would attach to the capital of Guo!
Magistrate Zhang has been sitting in the position of Shuntian Mansion for two and a half years, and he has suffered a lot on weekdays! Maybe he really wants to go, and if he is released, maybe he really goes along with his wishes!
After listening to Magistrate Zhang's words, the man thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Zhang, do you think that if we exert our strength, you can simply release it easily? That's impossible! I'm afraid it will at least result in dismissal from office, right?"
Magistrate Zhang cupped his hands without changing his expression and said, "Then please go and try it first!"
Seeing Magistrate Zhang's confident look, this man threatened: "Maybe I can't do anything to you, after all, your position is low and powerful! But as for your servants, it's very easy for us to deal with them! Don't think that I I can’t tell you that many of the people collecting money are county government servants! Without their support, you will not be able to sit in this position!"
This method is not cruel! The cost of dealing with Magistrate Zhang is very high, but it is easy to deal with the servants! As long as the officers do not support County Magistrate Zhang, he will be a clay Buddha! If he is more vicious and does something to implicate County Magistrate Zhang, he will not only lose his official position but may also be in danger of his life!
But County Magistrate Zhang looked at him with sympathy and said: "If you can move, just move! I would like to remind you that those people are no longer county government servants, but official Jinyi soldiers." !”
County Magistrate Zhang really didn’t lie! Not long ago, Liu Haojia had issued a unified order to change the identities of all the military police officers and turned them into Jin Yiwei, just to prevent them from doing this!
After all, it is easy for the rich and powerful people to deal with the guards, but they have to think twice before dealing with the Imperial Guards, who are the emperor's own troops! To deal with Jin Yiwei is to lose face today, so anyone who dares to take action must think twice.
Seeing that Magistrate Zhang was unable to get food and salt, these people left angrily and planned to go home to find ways to deal with Magistrate Zhang! But before they could find a way out, Liu Haojia's revenge arrived first!
Early the next morning, Liu Haojia personally took more than thirty Jin Yiwei to the streets, preparing to kill the chickens and show them to the monkeys, and punish the few thorns!
Liu Haojia led people to the street, and ordinary people naturally avoided him. But the merchant who knew some information guessed what he was going to do! So many people followed and wanted to see the results. Some of them who couldn't come by themselves even sent out assistants, which made Liu Haojia's team a bit bigger!
The first family Liu Haojia selected was a medicine shop named Baohetang. The owner of Baohetang was an imperial physician of the current dynasty, and he also had a quite large family behind him! And the most enviable thing is that almost every generation in their family has been selected to become an imperial physician, so the reputation of Baohetang has become even more widely known!
Although the owner of Baohetang is the imperial doctor in name, there is another person running the business. After all, the imperial physician was on duty in the palace all day long and could not actually manage the shop. But the management of Baohetang has become much easier because of his presence.
Because as an imperial physician, his medical skills are quite good! As a result, too many officials came to him for medical advice, which allowed him to accumulate a lot of connections. Therefore, Baohetang is the operator who consciously speaks in front of many powerful people, and naturally does not buy Jinyiwei's account.
When Liu Haojia led people to Baohetang, there was already a long line of people seeking medical treatment. The clerks in the store are also busy helping people get medicine. The doctors sitting on both sides of the lobby are diagnosing the patient's pulse. It's a busy scene!
When Liu Haojia led the people to the gate, the clerk discovered them and hurriedly informed the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper heard that a large number of royal guards had arrived, he felt nervous!
In fact, the shopkeeper tends to pay. Because the money required by Jin Yiwei is really not much, only 30 taels of silver per month, which is extremely light compared to other transactions with the same revenue! However, the boss still refused to bow his head, and he was helpless!
The shopkeeper came forward, bowed and saluted, and said, "My lord, I wonder if you have any orders when you come to our Baohetang?"
Liu Haojia held the handle of the knife and said, "Are you the shopkeeper here?"
The shopkeeper said: "Dazheng! If you have anything to do, please tell me."
