After Zhao Weixian left, the major chambers of commerce in Qingyuan came together for the first time. They planned to host a banquet to entertain Duan Peng, the new prefect.
They had wanted to organize similar activities before, but they were kicked out before Zhao Weixian could even get in. Zhao Weixian had blackmailed Wu and Pu's family for money in Qingyuan. Many people in the chamber of commerce were concerned about this. Know.
Later, there was another time to bring the Sun family father and son back together. However, it is said that Zhao Weixian was not polite. He was polite before fighting, which forced Sun Houpu's father to have no choice but to obey. I apologized to his son and asked for Sun Houpu to rejoin their grandson. Family ancestry.
He had to go to the Sun family's father because he had no choice but to ask Xia Song from Beijing to put in a few nice words for him, but he just bowed his head and gave in.
But to eat with these businessmen is to belittle and belittle his noble status as a royal descendant!
The ancestors of the Zhao family have been officials and generals for generations, and there is no one who can get entangled with businessmen. If this spreads to Bianjing, it will not become a problem for the civil servants, let alone return to their ancestors to fulfill their filial piety!
The big businessmen of Qingyuan Port have made a lot of money over the years. They have a typical mentality of the nouveau riche. They treat everyone with the mentality that if I have money, I can handle everything. They spend money to settle everything. As a result, this group of people met Got a Zhao Weixian.
People value identity and status, and money is as much as he wants. He is in charge of the entire port. He still needs to work hard to make money and hang out with these businessmen who are full of copper odor? That is self-degradation!
Zhao Weixian In these years, Liang Chuan has been like a rising star, cutting off everyone's financial path. The Wanda Chamber of Commerce sells all kinds of goods, and the port directly earns everyone's first pot of gold.
Many people are guessing that Liang Chuan is Zhao Weixian's man!
At that time, Liang Chuan went in and out of Weiyuan Building just like drinking water. He ran inside the building every day. It is said that Zhao Weixian's first trip to Quanzhou Prefecture was to go to Liang Chuan's home!
Liang Chuan has made many people in Qingyuan jealous because Liang Chuan blocked their way of making money.
Coupled with the impoverished Zhao Weixian, these businessmen were immediately cornered!
Zhao Weixian's year was the economic winter that these businessmen experienced in their lives, but it was also the year when the living standards of local people improved significantly.
Because Zhao Weixian really doesn't care about anything, he collects very little taxes, and even pays the corvee directly. Everyone has work to do. How can the people's living standards not be high?
The businessmen no longer wanted to live like this, and they also hoped to be favored by the government like Liang Chuan, so they directly came up with this idea and wanted to use their power to take Duan Peng into their own hands!
These businessmen are indeed average in strength when separated, but when they come together, their strength cannot be underestimated!
They also underestimated Duan Peng's temper!
Zhao Weixian refused to eat their food, so why did they conclude that Duan Peng would definitely pay their bills?
When the invitation was sent to Weiyuan Tower, Duan Peng didn't even think about it and didn't even bother to read it.
Collusion between officials and businessmen has been a taboo since ancient times. These businessmen in Qingyuan are still making such a big fight. What are they planning to do?
Even if you want to tarnish Duan Peng's reputation, you don't have to look down on people like this. Who the hell needs this meal?
As the saying goes, cannibals are short-tongued. After eating, they will definitely want to get more, which will make it even harder to run errands. From now on, it will all depend on the faces of these people!
The real Duan Peng refused to show up, but the fake Duan Peng took advantage of it!
The group of people from the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce asked someone to send the invitation to Weiyuan Tower, and the people inside were scolded by Duan Peng.

After a pause, he threw the post out with a curse, only to be picked up by a young man.
If he saw this young man, Liang Chuan, he would definitely recognize him. He was the guy who placed the iron cat in front of the Guan Gong Temple to deceive people. This guy was also bold. His first thought when he saw the invitation was not that it was a hot mountain. But I immediately thought that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money!
Scammers have a very strange mentality. They often make money for three years after making one order. What they can't control is their restless heart. They like to enjoy the pleasure of deceiving people, and they are even proud of it.
Of course, most people still want money!
The liar's surname is Jin, Jin Xin, a very wealthy name, but what he lacks the most is gold.
It is said that the new magistrate just took office today, and Jin Xin's gall bladder didn't know whether he had hair or tumors, but he had a brain convulsion and wanted to make a quick buck!
He and his assistant actually hired a sedan chair, dressed up in a decent manner, and swaggered to the Yuehua Restaurant for the banquet.
These businessmen were probably dazzled by joy. No one had ever seen what Duan Peng looked like. They only knew that the prefect was extremely young. Who would have thought that someone would dare to pretend to be the prefect?
Not to mention this kind of thing in this era of limited information, even in the modern era where the Internet is well developed and traceable, this kind of thing is still common!
What they like most is secretaries and army cadres pretending to be leaders. The identities of these people are often less exposed, making it easier to deceive people!
In this era, it is theoretically impossible to prove that you are yourself!
Even vicious incidents of killing officials and committing crimes have occurred!
In Journey to the West, not only was Tang Seng’s father drowned, but the robber still dared to be an official without being discovered for so many years, which is simply unbelievable.
But that’s what happened!
Jin Xin's sedan came down in front of Yuehua Restaurant. It happened that this guy was in the prime of life, similar to Duan Peng. The businessmen rushed up to him, and no one saw any flaws in Jin Xin!
"Master Duan sacrificed his life to come here. We, the Qingyuan Chamber of Commerce, can't wait to be honored!"
Jin Xin put on a high air and snorted, but the sound still came out of his nostrils, with his hands behind his back and not even a smiling face!
It's not that Jin Xin is arrogant, it's because all the officials he has seen are like this. They look at everyone through their nostrils, so he naturally follows suit!
Not to mention, if he is timid and timid, he will be exposed immediately and look at people with his nostrils. These businessmen will lick their faces and bow their waists, not even daring to raise their heads and stare at Jin Xin.
“It’s such a grand event, maybe you’re worried that people outside don’t know that I like pomp and extravagance!”
The big spice businessman headed by Pu Geng and the head of the Wu family quickly said: "My lord, I have misunderstood. I just prepared some Nanyin music for the evening, just for fun. As for the drinks, all the drinks are simple. This is the wish of all the folks. Everyone." I wish you to be a noble lord, just to cleanse your lord of your dust!"
Jin Xin hummed: "That's about right. We, the people of Quanzhou, are still suffering a lot. Many people don't have enough to eat. I'm new to this place. You can't make it difficult for me to be a good person!"
The lines were also learned on stage.
All the people clapped the horse and said, "Your Majesty loves the people like your own children. We, the people of Quanzhou, are blessed!"
Everyone walked upstairs with Jin Xin in their arms. As soon as they were seated, they saw that the entire table was filled with delicacies they had never seen before, such as abalone, bear paws, and bird's nests that looked like vermicelli. Jin Xin was afraid of being exposed, so he swallowed with difficulty. He was slobbering and cursing in his heart: This is what you idiots say, being an official is simple.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It was just good. He had never seen someone eating such delicious food in his life!
A Nan song started to be sung on the stage. Jin Xin didn't hear a word of the song, but he knew that the food and wine on the table were delicious.
Originally he was holding a shelf, fearing that others would notice that he was greedy, but after taking a few bites, he found that the dish was really fragrant, and he couldn't stop using his chopsticks.
Pu Geng took a look and was a little surprised, but he thought in his heart that he had heard that Duan Peng's background was not very good. His family was from a farming and studying family, and he had not seen much of the world. No, he accepted him with a little delicious food. .
Other officials were overjoyed when they saw Jin Xin carrying his fetus from starvation. People are greedy and greedy. Such people are the easiest to bribe! What’s the bottom line for people who can’t even control what they say?
Jin Xin ate too much himself and found that he felt a little uncomfortable. He quickly picked up the wine and started pouring it on the group.
He would dip his lips into a large glass of wine before toasting the next person. However, these businessmen would not dare to imitate him. The adults had to drink the toast obediently!
This could cost them their lives. They don't have the large capacity of a cow's stomach like Liang Chuan, and they have no immunity to alcohol. After a large glass of wine, their faces will start to turn red!
What Jin Xin is thinking is, if I don’t take you guys down today, it won’t be easy to get out soon!
After one round of clearance, the second round followed. Many people's faces had turned from red to green, and they would get drunk if they drank any more!
Many people had the courage to drink the second round. The second round was not just one drink. Jin Xin was also a cunning person. When he saw a good drinker, he kept staring and kept drinking.
These people probably haven't had anyone praise them like this for a long time, and they are in a good mood, and they actually drink wine one glass at a time!
After a while these people were floating!
Pu Geng had not experienced such goodwill from the government for a long time. He first mentioned the mosque under construction. Jin Xin patted his chest and promised that this little thing would be taken care of by him!
This stimulated Pu Geng to the point of climax, and he climaxed instantly. What he was most worried about was half of the temple. If Zhao Weixian left and the project was stopped, it would be over!
When the other businessmen saw that the new official was so talkative, they immediately told him about their business. Jin Xin felt his heart tremble when he heard this. I bet these are the wise and capable owners of Qingyuan City. Normally, I am cheating a little money on the street, how can I get along with these people? If I succeed in cheating one order today, I am afraid I will not be able to use it up for the rest of my life!
It seems that it would be my own fault if I only cheated on a good meal of wine and food today. .
Jin Xin put down his chopsticks, straightened his clothes, and began to tell some anecdotes about officialdom. These were all gossips he heard on the street, anecdotes about unofficial history, which official had several concubines, who was the most powerful in sexual intercourse, and Lu. Which officials here have what preferences!
They are all bullshit and worthless jokes that cannot be put on the stage. Where would these big businessmen have the opportunity to hear these words? No matter how arranged, no one would dare to make fun of officials, isn't it? This is quite offensive!
But when this fake Duan Peng came out of his mouth, everyone thought that these were news from within the officialdom! Duan Peng clearly regards them as his own, otherwise he would not leak this information!
These businessmen don't even dare to think that your mother is a scam!
The same goes for the fake charlatan Jin Xin. He was well dressed and spoke well, and he deceived these businessmen into great joy.
It didn't cost a lot of money to eat and drink. Before leaving, the key was actually asking for bribes and extorting a lot of property!
