Chapter 172 How to pay

Looking at Li Mo who looked like the cold face of Hades, magistrate Zhu felt frightened and regretted, why did he bother with her.

To be honest, since the store opened in Songjiang County, it has paid a penny in taxes, abided by the law, and also drove the surrounding stores.

The locations of the shops in Songjiang County were not in the prosperous areas. The original plan was that the space was wide enough to park carriages. Before they settled in, no one rented the surrounding shops at all, and the owners sighed.

What kind of obsession was it to boycott them with other counties?Magistrate Zhu still can't figure it out.

After smashing the shop, the shop could not be rented out, and the owner dared not speak out.

Li Mo really wanted to step on Magistrate Zhu's face severely, or give him two slaps, but after thinking about it, he held back and gave him some face, so that he would not lose any dignity in front of the people in the future.

Seeing the large group of people behind Li Mo, County Magistrate Zhu's already pale face became even paler, and the master beside him also became nervous, looking at Li Mo in panic.

It's one thing to regret, but it's another thing to see such a rampant Li Mo. After all, he is an official of the court, and Magistrate Zhu concluded that Li Mo dared not do anything to him.

She dared to beat the yamen servants and gangsters because they had no lawsuits and would never dare to beat him. He has an official position and is equal to Li Moping.

At the same time, the official prestige cannot be lost. Looking at the crowd of people in front of him, it really makes people suspect that all the people in Longqing County have come to watch the excitement, let alone lose face now.

"Li Mo, this official has always been fair and honest. If you have a grievance, you can appeal for it, but what you have done is really deceiving!" County magistrate Zhu stood up, straightened his official hat, and angrily accused Li Mo of making the first move.

Li Mo picked out his ears: "Magistrate Zhu, has anyone told you that you are very wordy."

"Li Mo, this is Longqing County, you can't move around at will, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude, this is the land of Jin State, do you think you are the emperor of the dynasty, you can do whatever you want , Is there any law of the king, besides, I am still an official ordered by the court, if you have the ability, you can kill me." County magistrate Zhu sneered.

A chill flashed in Li Mo's black eyes: "I want to see how you are so rude to me! Don't forget, you are still in my hands, do you want to make up for the feeling of being beaten?"

The master was startled, and hurried forward to stop him: "Lord Li, please think twice, Lord Zhu is an official of the court, and no one has the right to touch a finger of him except the emperor. You are colleagues, let alone overstep. I see, Lord Li's official position may be coming to an end."

Li Mo glanced at the master and nodded: "You are very reasonable, but I am speechless."

County magistrate Zhu and the master looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the devil listened.

It's just that they were too happy.

Li Mo: "Let's talk about the loss of our store, the medical expenses for personnel injuries, mental damage expenses, lost work expenses, and the loss expenses of our store and carriages and buses during this period. How much money do you plan to give to compensate?"

County Magistrate Zhu was so angry that he could hardly breathe: "Master Li, you have to understand that it is the owner's intention that the store is not rented to you, and it has nothing to do with our yamen. You were beaten because you offended others. We have nothing to do with Yamen, we don’t accept your groundless demand for compensation from Yamen.”

The master looked at Li Mo in disbelief: "Master Li, what you are saying is simply nonsense."

Li Mo: "You beat people, you smashed shops, and all the losses were caused by you. Isn't it normal for you to compensate?"

Li Mo then said sternly: "Or do you want to shirk responsibility?"

County magistrate Zhu was very angry and accused Li Mo loudly: "If you want money, if you have the ability, you can flatten the yamen of Longqing County."

Li Mo smiled: "I admire County Magistrate Zhu's courage very much. For your boldness, I will be gentler. I hope you can maintain this courage for a while."

Liu Fang walked forward very understandingly: "My lord!"

Li Mo: "Search for me and move all the valuables away."

Liu Fang's eyes lit up when he heard it, and after waiting for a long time, this sentence was the most pleasant, and his small body stood up straight: "Yes, my lord."

After speaking, he led a group of yamen servants into the yamen to rob, oh no, search!
County magistrate Zhu's eyes were full of anger: "Li Mo, you are too rampant."

All the yamen servants in the poor Longqing County have been knocked to the ground, no one can stop Liu Fang and others from their banditry, and can only watch them swagger into the yamen.

The master wanted to follow, but Chunfan stood at the door and stared at him.

Song Min brought out a small table and a chair, the Four Treasures of the Study, and said to Li Mo, "My lord, please sit down."

Li Mo gave him a thumbs up. It seemed that after staying with her for a long time, he knew what she was thinking.

Li Mo wrote three pages full of paper, stating the amount of compensation, and the Longqing County Government Office. In the future, he must not interfere with the operation of all stores in Songjiang County, nor the normal operation of horse-drawn carriages and buses in Songjiang County.

Whenever someone was injured, or the store was smashed, or the store was unfriendly to the staff, all the responsibilities were shifted to the yamen led by Zhu County Magistrate.

After Li Mo finished writing, Song Min read the contents of the paper. After reading, the scene was in an uproar.

The common people talked a lot, they knew that it was wrong for Magistrate Zhu to do these things, but they could do nothing, the people did not fight with the officials.

The daily exorbitant taxes and the unreasonable demands of the yamen servants made the people miserable. Unexpectedly, someone came to suppress Zhu County Magistrate. It was so relieved. I was so excited that I really wanted to go and hug Li Mo: "Master Li, You are too good."

The owner was just behind the crowd, and after hearing this, he was relieved that the house was available for rent again.

It wasn't that he didn't want to rent out the house, but that the yamen forced him to repent.

Before County Magistrate Zhu could react, Liu Fang had already walked out with a bright smile on his face, carrying a sack on his shoulders: "My lord, today is a good harvest."

Li Mo nodded: "Not bad!"

But seeing such a big sack, Li Mo felt a toothache. You said that you are a little girl, carrying such a big sack is not heavy, so many men, can you let them carry it?

Everyone has a sense of proportion, the things in the warehouse of the Yamen cannot be moved, and if they want to be moved, they can only come at night.

They went to rob the small treasury of Magistrate Zhu, but Magistrate Zhu's wife and concubines tried their best to stop them, and they were directly tied up by Liu Fang.

Only in a quiet environment can we calm down and search carefully, without missing a single place, and directly empty out all of Zhu County Magistrate's small treasury.

County Magistrate Zhu watched a group of robbers come out swaggeringly, felt dizzy for a while, and then fell down.

"My lord, wake up quickly, come here, help me." The master shouted loudly while hugging County Magistrate Zhu.

But none of the common people dared to move, but none of the people in their yamen could move.

Li Mo stepped forward, knelt down, stretched out his right hand, and held the county magistrate Zhu.

Li Mo is hiding selfishness, you can tell by the strength of her hands.

After a while, County Magistrate Zhu woke up slowly, seeing Li Mo, who was still haunted, still in front of him, and wanted to faint again.

Li Mo slapped him and said viciously, "Magistrate Zhu, please sign this agreement, and then faint again."

Magistrate Zhu: "You are an unequal treaty, and I will not sign it even if I die."

Li Mo smiled coldly: "That's up to you."

Suddenly thought of something, Li Mo smiled evilly: "By the way, since you are so stubborn, I won't let you pay for it. If you don't know how powerful I am, you will never learn your lesson."

Magistrate Zhu looked at Li Mo in horror: "What are you doing?"

Li Mo chuckled: "I don't want to do anything, it's just to impress you."

This kind of person can't do without beating him. He always thinks that Longqing County is his sky, and others can't do anything to him.

People in Longqing County saw Li Mo slipping their county magistrate into the yamen, and they didn't know what happened inside, but a quarter of an hour later, their county magistrate walked out of the yamen with a look of lovelessness on his face, shaking his body Yes, his face is paler than before, and he still walks with a limp.

An unexpected situation happened. In front of everyone, County Magistrate Zhu bowed and apologized to everyone present in Songjiang County. He burst into tears. Hearing the words from the bottom of his heart, everyone was moved to tears. It turned out that they The county magistrate turned out to be a good man.

So what happened in the quarter of an hour when we entered just now, the common people were puzzled. Wasn't their County Magistrate Zhu very strong? Didn't he show a very responsible look rather than surrender?Why did it look different after a quarter of an hour.

Li Mo was very satisfied when he got what he wanted.Looking around, he said sternly: "I, Li Mo, the county magistrate of Songjiang County, hereby warn everyone,

In normal commercial competition, I have nothing to say. If you use such indecent means like the Yamen, you will weigh how many lives you have, and you can bear the anger of your own officials.

If you don’t have that ability, don’t mess with us. Let me put down my harsh words here. If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. If people offend me, I will definitely punish them.

Of course, everyone is doing business and making money through harmony. We welcome everyone to visit Songjiang County.In Songjiang County, you don't have to worry about being treated unfairly..."

After what Li Mo said, everyone was moved. Anyone who has been to Songjiang County knows that Songjiang County is much better than their Longqing County. Those who have not been to Songjiang County are very yearning.

"Master Li, I heard that there is no tuition fee for studying in your Songjiang County, is that true?" Someone couldn't help asking.

Li Mo: "As long as you meet the conditions to enter the school, it's all free."

"Do we outsiders need any conditions?" This is the key.

Li Mo explained patiently: "You must have been doing business in Songjiang County for three years, and you can go to school for free if you pay a certain amount of taxes. It doesn't matter how many children you have. Of course, there is a limit on age. If you are in your 20s and come to study here, what does that sound like?"

The crowd let out a burst of laughter: "Master Li, you are so humorous, there are people in their 20s who still go to study with children."

...

Amidst everyone's laughter, Li Mo and his party left Longqing County vigorously, and they were going to the next county - Dahua County.

After Li Mo left, County Magistrate Zhu staggered suddenly, and the master stepped forward to support him, but County Magistrate Zhu suddenly howled, "Take it easy!"

The master trembled in fright, and almost pushed Magistrate Zhu to the ground.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" The master asked nervously, not daring to support Magistrate Zhu, standing there at a loss.

County magistrate Zhu couldn't pretend anymore, a sharp pain rose spontaneously, stimulating his nerves, his whole body seemed to be stabbed by ten thousand hot sharp knives, and a heart-wrenching pain spread all over his body.

Weakly said: "Go to the doctor quickly."

Without the order of County Magistrate Zhu, the master would have brought all the doctors in the city, because all their yamen servants were injured and fell to the ground like dead dogs.

After this severe injury, within 10 days and half a month, the Yamen could not return to normal at all.

Li Mo had no intention of paying attention to the gossip in the Longqing County Yamen, and the people talking about it.

According to the agreement, after 10 days, all the shops in Songjiang County will be reopened, and Li Mo will still be responsible for the decoration, and the county magistrate Zhu will lose money.

Of course, Liu Fang took the money directly from County Magistrate Zhu's small warehouse for losing money.

If he didn't learn his lesson, he wouldn't be so easy to talk next time, and beat him until his bones were broken.

The county magistrate of Dahua County does not have the backbone of Zhu County Magistrate, and because he has no backbone, he avoided an unforgettable lesson.

The other party was very forthright, admitted his mistake, and actively took money to compensate.

Liu Fang was surprised: "My lord, why is this county magistrate so talkative all of a sudden, is there any fraud?"

Li Mo: "No, because someone has already tipped him off."

"how do you know?"

"Guess!"

Liu Fang: "..."

Li Mo's guess was right. It was precisely because someone tipped off the magistrate of Dahua County that he frightened him, otherwise it would be so easy to talk.

It's not that the other party hadn't thought about giving Li Mo a bad start, thinking that in Longqing County, Li Mo was just a bluff.

But when he saw Li Mo coming with more than 200 people, the county magistrate was terrified and obediently raised his hand to surrender.

That night, the prefect's mansion.

The county magistrates who jointly boycotted the shops in Songjiang County gathered in the study of the prefect's mansion, asking Liu Taishou to vent their anger on them.

Only Taishou Liu can rule Li Mo. As the superior, Taishou Liu has the right to dismiss Li Mo directly.

Li Mo only went to two counties today, one county magistrate was beaten, and the other county magistrate raised his hand early and surrendered without being beaten.

County magistrate Zhu was beaten badly today, and outsiders couldn't see any signs. Li Mo beat his joints specifically, which can make people hurt to the bone, but there are no symptoms on the outside, even if a doctor is invited. any effect,

The county magistrate Zhu was pitiful, crying miserably, and said to Taishou Liu with snot and tears: "Master Liu, you must give justice to the subordinates. That Li Mo is really not a human being. We are all colleagues, and we are all together. Dare to kill this official.

Anyway, the lower official is also an official ordered by the imperial court. She is so lawless and arrogant. Only Mr. Liu can cure her. She also injured all the people in the yamen and robbed the warehouse. Bandits make no difference. "

The magistrate of Dahua County shared the same hatred: "What's more, she actually asked us to compensate them for all their losses, and also asked us to sign an agreement. From now on, everyone in Songjiang County, if something happens to them, the yamen will definitely not be able to get rid of it. You have to pay."

This is the most irritating thing. If they really have conflicts with others, and both parties fight and get hurt, what does this responsibility have to do with them?

It is impossible for the Yamen to protect them [-] hours a day, right?

There are a few remaining county towns, and it's not their turn yet. The county magistrates are already very nervous and scared.

The first two county towns have been defeated, and it's up to them next.

Everyone turned their attention to Taishou Liu, who was firmly in the main position. Taishou Liu had a headache. He didn't support you messing around like this at the beginning. Now that something happened, he couldn't stand it anymore. Why do you want to ask me for it?

You don't know, the one who wants Li Mo to have an accident the most is me. Unfortunately, I don't have the guts now. If this continues, I will have no small treasury left, and maybe even my life.

However, since something happened, it is impossible for the prefect Liu to just tell them to forget it, you all go back, if this happens, it will appear that he is a very useless prefect, and he has no dignity at all in front of the powerful Li Mo. How to lead them.

Liu Taishou pondered for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "How about this, all your counties unite and attack Li Mo together. Isn't she a lot of people? Isn't all of you combined more people than her? Only by being fierce and stronger than her can he be able to cure her."

Everyone thinks about it, this is indeed the reason, fighting alone, they are definitely not the opponents of Songjiang County, if this is the case, then they will unite.

Everyone is guessing which county will be chosen next. The first one is Longqing County, which is the closest to Songjiang County.

The second is Dahua County, a little farther away.

If he guessed correctly, Li Mo chose the county town according to the distance.

The third county will be Henglai County, so as long as they wait for Li Mo in this county and take them down in one fell swoop, the future troubles can be avoided forever.

Different from their thoughts, the county magistrate of Wenshan County, who had not come over, was quietly having other thoughts, everyone was boycotting Songjiang County, but he saw business opportunities here, why Songjiang County can develop , all because of Li Mo's credit, why not get close to her?

...

Li Mo had already given all the ten carts of goods to the master last night, and asked him to put the belongings in the yamen and the medicinal materials to the hospital.

The master had never seen so much money and treasures before, and felt his heart beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. The scene was too shocking, and his little heart couldn't stand it.

My lord, did you go on a long trip to rob?This is how many people have been robbed to bring back so many treasures.

Are these things safe in Songjiang County?Will someone come to arrest you in two days, saying that you are a wanted criminal by the court.

Thinking of that terrible scene, the master panicked again, he must deal with these things quickly, and turning them into bank notes is the most realistic.

The question is, with so many treasures, where can they be sold?Oops headache, finally understand why some people are so rich and not happy.

Master, do you have any misunderstandings about rich people?
It suddenly occurred to me that the more than 200 strong men brought back by the adults seemed to be not weak in martial arts, and their wages should be high. I don't know where the adults found them.

The adults didn't say how much their wages are, whether they are paid daily or monthly, and I don't know if they will open their mouths. Thinking of this, the master feels cold again.

After the adult comes back, he must talk to her about the salary issue, and he must not be slaughtered by others.
