Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 8420
Linze City.

Inside the prefect's mansion.

Wei Donglai waited for five people, their backs were soaked with sweat, and their satin clothes were almost sticky to their flesh.

"Lord Chu, what is the meaning of this?"

Only Wei Donglai dared to ask a question.

After all, he is a Jinshi, and he has known the minister of the Ministry of Industry for a while. Although the time is very short, his vision and courage are not comparable to the other four.

"Old Wei, you are highly respected in Linze City, and you used to be an official of the imperial court and a dignified scholar. We must obey the imperial order, and we can't listen to the outside world."

Chu Xiquan softened his tone, he paused, and continued: "Today, according to the emperor's will, you will all be sent to prison."

"I begged for mercy and said, you are all scholars, you should show some dignity to the scholars, and you can't punish them without teaching."

"Your majesty is wise and accepts advice like a stream, so he decided to give you a chance."

Chu Xiquan took out five letters from the desk.

"This is a shipping franchise license issued by the imperial court. You wait for five people, one for each family. If you are willing to obey the emperor's order, you can take this license. If you don't, your whole family will be sent to prison. It's not that I don't give it to you Love is really a royal order!"

After Chu Xiquan took out the papers, he went to work on his own, processing various documents, and ignored them.

Wei Donglai and the others exchanged glances.

Among these few people, only Wei Donglai wanted to get the franchise license immediately.

One side is to earn a lot of money with a franchise license, and the other side is to go to jail immediately. How should a normal person choose?Is there even a question?
But the rest of the people didn't dare to choose immediately, they all hesitated.

Because the person who contacted them and asked them to come to the prefect's mansion to petition was something they couldn't afford.

That group of people are kings lurking underground, they are professional killers, if they don't obey, the lives of the whole family may be lost in an instant.

Their fingers were trembling, hesitating.

"Lord Chu, I want this franchise license."

Wei Donglai coughed twice, stepped forward and took a franchise license in his hand.

He glanced sideways at the others, and said meaningfully: "Why don't you take it? You still need to think about it?"

The rest of them were in distress, and they didn't dare to tell the truth, and they didn't dare to turn against Wei Donglai, and they didn't dare to openly confront the prefect of Chu Xiquan.

They fell into an awkward situation, in a dilemma.

"grown ups."

At this moment, a man outside with a waist knife strode in and saluted Chu Xiquan with his hands clasped.

"Is it done?"

Chu Xiquan raised his eyebrows.

"It's done. According to the order of the adults, everyone has been arrested, and no one will be arrested."

The man is Wang Qian, he said respectfully.

"Very well, put them all in prison."

Chu Xiquan snorted coldly.

"Here!"

Wang Qian walked out quickly.

Not long after, there was the sound of shouting and whipping at the door.

Several people in the lobby saw a long line passing by the door.

The ferocious yamen servants are waving whips in their hands. Whoever shouts louder will inevitably be whipped.

The squires in the lobby were stunned.

All those arrested were country gentry who joined them in the petition.

Chu Xiquan arrested all these people in disregard of face.

The lash of the whip made them shudder.

"Help."

"Save me!"

I saw people in the lobby outside, all shouting for help.

A horrific scream broke down their psychological defense in an instant.

"Master Chu, I choose a franchise license."

One of them hurried forward to get back the franchise license.

There is no way, he is still afraid of the "Skynet" killer organization, but that is only a matter of the future, if he doesn't follow now, he will be on the verge of ruin now, how can he care about so much.

The rest of them all chose franchise licenses.

"That's right, those who know current affairs are brilliant."

Chu Xiquan said lightly: "Your family members, I have already invited them to the yamen, and let them live in the yamen for a while."

The backyard of the yamen is very wide, not to mention seven or eight people, even more than a hundred people can live there.

"Master is wise."

Although children, daughters, wives and children were brought into the Yamen, they were equivalent to "hostages".

But not only would they not be dissatisfied, but they would also like to thank Prefect Chu Xiquan, who felt that he was considerate and impeccable.

Because they offended the "Skynet" killer organization.

If the wife and children stay at home, they are a living target, tantamount to death.

It's better to send it to the government office.

The "Skynet" killer is still incapable of killing people indiscriminately in the Yamen.

"Okay, go back if you have nothing to do. I'm busy with business, so I won't keep you."

Chu Xiquan said.

"My lord, I have a request waiting for you."

Several people looked at each other, and then saluted Chu Xiquan together.

"What request? Just say it." Chu Xiquan said.

"Lord Chu, can the government send someone to take us back?" Several people were a little apprehensive, they were worried that Chu Xiquan would ask clearly.

But they were worried, they still wanted to find the prefect of Chu Xiquan.

"Okay, I will ask Wang Qian to find a few good men to escort you back."

To their surprise, Chu Xiquan arranged for them without asking anything.

None of them would want to leave the prefect's mansion if given the chance.

However, they still want you to go back to take care of the family business. There are many things waiting for them to do, so how can you waste time here.

Even if they might face danger, they must go back.

……

Send these gentry and gentlemen away.

Luo Xingchen came out from behind the large screen on the side.

He stayed behind the screen the whole time, listening to them talk.

"My lord, you've finished everything you told me."

Chu Xiquan stood up.

"Don't cry when you see the coffin. These people will be honest when they see the whip."

Luo Xingchen raised his eyebrows.

These country gentry and gentlemen are all condescending and pampered, and they will never suffer.

So it is normal to kneel down when you see a whip.Is the franchise license really going to be given to them?It's better to ship it yourself. "Chu Xiquan said.

"Yes, I have to give it with great fanfare, so that other wealthy businessmen can see that they follow the court and have meat to eat. If you want a horse to grow well, you need to feed it top-quality feed.

"Okay, just do as you say."

Chu Xiquan said.

"As for the prefect's mansion, if you want to make money, you just need to collect taxes, especially commercial taxes."

"We can't let them be lazy and sell bad things, we need to make them active."

"Okay, I understand." Chu Xiquan nodded.

An old-fashioned character like him naturally knows what to say and what not to say.

"The business tax is not easy to collect. I need to hire more accountants. If there are not many accountants in the government, I will go find some accountants. This is better than shortage."

Luo Xingchen said.
