The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 241 Resistance
"I will make up the money immediately, so I don't bother you to worry about food."

Zheng Xiong smacked his lips, there are not many opportunities to kill people, so he was so cowardly, which made Zheng Xiong feel a little unfinished.

"That's it, after paying the money, the government won't cheat you. You can go after breakfast, lunch and dinner today!"

Hao Dali had a look of disbelief, what breakfast?I didn't eat it, so don't cheat me.

The onlookers and government servants looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to have such a money-seeking Fu Yin at the booth.

"My lord, I haven't eaten breakfast! I'm still hungry."

Facing the bewildered Hao Dali, Zheng Xiong looked at Tong Juan suspiciously.

"What's the matter, why didn't you have breakfast? How can you judge a case when you're hungry?"

Zheng Xiong pretended to be stupid, and the judge also saw that his lord was a money-seeker, so he cooperated with the performance.

"My lord, you came early, and you haven't had time to prepare."

Zheng Xiong showed a look of sudden realization, and reprimanded the judge.

"The work in this area will be strengthened in the future, and you will give me something to eat."

"My lord's lesson is, I should remember it carefully."

After reprimanding Tong San, Zheng Xiong looked at Hao Dali apologetically.

"I'm sorry, it's because the government office didn't do its job properly. If you haven't eaten, you can go to the prison to eat first. Anyway, the money hasn't arrived yet."

"However, there is no way to refund the money. After all, it is prepared for you. What do you think?"

Are there any other options?No, Hao Dali could only accept the reality silently.

"No, thank you sir for your kindness. The money was ready to be paid back yesterday, but they were too dark, so they didn't give it."

"I keep it with me all the time, and leave it to my lord, please take care of it."

After finishing speaking, Hao Dali took out two ingots of official silver from his chest, one large and one small.

He took out a few more loose pieces of silver, tipped the weight, and handed it to the tray in front of him.

The yamen servant inspected it, then weighed it, confirmed it was correct, and reported it to Zheng Xiong.

"My lord, the total weight is 61 taels, which is just right."

Zheng Xiong nodded, and then said to Hao Dali.

"Okay, you can go, welcome to visit us often."

Hao Daqi's liver hurts, whoever comes to this place for the second time, even if he has money, can't stand it, he forced a smile and said.

"Thank you, my lord, and I will take my leave."

Zheng Xiong watched Hao Dali leave, and when he completely disappeared from sight, he continued to speak.

"There are not many such good people. I hope he is safe."

"What time is it now?"

Tong San calculated the time and replied.

"It's seven quarters past, almost noon."

"Let's go to dinner first, then we will have a trial after dinner, and we will leave the court."

Zheng Xiong left, and the morning trial ended.

On the other side, in Zheng's residence, Mrs. Jia was sending Mrs. Liu away, and exchanged pleasantries.

"Look at you, here you come, what are you bringing!"

"Our family has some local products, you can take some back home, I will visit next time."

As Jia Shi was talking, she took some snacks from the handmaid beside her, dried dates and candied fruit plus some snacks.

Mrs. Liu complained in her heart, whoever lacks these three melons and two dates, besides what everyone has, you are ashamed to call it a local product.

He took it with a smile on his face, and kept thanking him.

"That's so embarrassing, I drank the tea, and brought something back before leaving, which cost the old lady a lot."

Mrs. Jia was very happy, and when she thought about the fact that her gift in return was not directly proportional to the gift Mrs. Liu brought, she still gave a guarantee.

"Don't worry about the little things about your second uncle. I'll tell my second boy later on. It's just being tricked and helped. It's okay."

It will be too late if you have to wait to turn around, Madam Liu can only emphasize again.

"The case is very urgent. I heard that the trial has already started. If you see if you are free, please let me know and say hello. I am not at ease."

Cannibals have short mouths and short hands.

Looking at the situation, Jia knew that he had to do something to show his sincerity, so he nodded.

"That's what you said, I'll send someone a message."

Seeing that Mrs. Jia arranged for someone to pass the message, Mrs. Liu really felt more at ease.

But seeing that Mrs. Jia is so foolish and good-looking, Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes and encouraged her.

"Would you like to go and have a look together, identify the door by the way, and show your face in front of people."

Needless to say, this proposal has scratched Jia's itch.

As Zheng Xiong's wife and Zheng Xiong as the governor, seeing him coming, he would salute respectfully.

Needless to say, Zheng Xiong's subordinates.

At that time, "Old Madam" will be called, and I will be able to talk more in the future and brag in front of a group of little sisters.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was feasible. Jia Shi also had the mentality of a nouveau riche, and he usually had no one to teach him.

Besides, the short life of the parents has not been long, and following Lao Zheng, he also dealt with the women's circle on a daily basis.

This kind of feeling of appearing in front of others is exciting just thinking about it.

"We are girls, is it convenient to go to the government office?"

Although it is a question, but it can be seen that Jia's intention is already inclined to go.

Mrs. Liu strikes while the iron is hot to resolve Jia's concerns.

"Hey, just go to the government office to have a look, it's okay to take a look around."

"Then turn around, take a look and leave."

When Mrs. Jia was persuaded, Mrs. Liu said in a hurry.

"It just so happens that my house is not too far from the government office. Go to my house to have some food first, and just go there after eating."

Jia Shi does not doubt that he has him, and the mentality of the Xiaofu family has not yet changed, and all they think about is human relations.

It just so happens that Zheng Xiong is just a junior, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong in this era of filial piety.

After a symbolic tug with Mrs. Liu, they happily left on the same road.

Zheng Xiong was having lunch here, and there was a sound of a report from outside the door.

"My lord, Mr. Zheng, the former governor, sent someone to deliver a message. Would you like to see him?"

"Let him in."

A few days after the handover, Zheng Yiyan sent someone over, Zheng Xiong thought something was wrong!
He was a little surprised by the visitor, and it was reasonable, but he didn't think much about the others.

"Master Fu Yin, the elder asked the younger one to take care of the elder."

"Then what are you doing out of sight? Tell me! Is there anything your servant wants to tell me?"

"In addition to saying hello, the servant minister also asked the little one to bring a sentence."

"It's forbidden to talk about gambling."

"I used to have intentional attacks on this situation, but after a few times, I understood."

"Good words can't persuade a damned ghost, a person who is very compassionate and self-aware."

"This is some simple opinion of the elders, and I will share it with the adults through the mouth of the young."

These words are very particular, although they are not clearly stated, but the meaning is obvious.

That is, as long as the gamblers are still there, it is impossible to ban the gambling houses.

As for Zheng Yiyan, a third-rank official, the gambling house is the only one who can have anything to do with the case he is trying.

It's just to intercede, but it's not that obvious.

Zheng Xiong thought for a while, it doesn't matter to save face, so he replied.

"Well, I see. Say hello to the boss for me."

"As for the issue of gambling, I have the same opinion as the boss, so I would like to thank the boss for me."

When the words arrived, Zheng Xiong also got a reply, and the errand runner offered to leave.

"Yes, I have brought my little words, so I won't bother you anymore."

"Well, let's go!"

This little episode, Zheng Xiong didn't take it to heart, and continued to cook.

"Shengtang, bring some of the gamblers caught yesterday, and Liu Xia from the gambling house."

The venue was too small, Zheng Xiong only mentioned a few people as evidence.

After a while, Liu Xia and several gamblers were brought to the lobby.

"Liu Xia, I ask you, what is your relationship with the gambling house?"

After a night of preparation for this question, Liu Xia answered the question in a slow manner without panicking.

"Returning to my lord, I have nothing to do with the gambling house, just because I know the owner of the gambling house very well, and I once lent him some money."

"Yesterday, I was also invited to come here to play. I didn't expect to meet my lord, and I suffered such an innocent disaster. I ask my lord to look into it, and I will be fair to you next time."

Zheng Xiong was amazed, yesterday he still acted like a master, but now he has separated the relationship, the change is really fast.

"Oh, who is the shopkeeper?"

"My surname is Qian, and my name is Jin. They were also imprisoned yesterday. They were not brought here, so they should still be in prison."

Hearing that he was still in prison, Zheng Xiong asked someone to bring him to the prison, while he continued to interrogate Liu Xia himself.

"According to what you said, this matter has nothing to do with you, right! It's my official who wronged you."

It's a little different from what I thought, it's too easy to talk, but it doesn't matter, Liu Xia is still humble.

"Don't dare, I'm Xia Menglang. I shouldn't go to a place like a gambling house. Now that I have gone, I can accept any punishment."

Zheng Xiong nodded and said.

"If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. You can leave after you finish your confession."

Easy pass, Liu Xia thanked immediately.

"Thank you sir."

After the words fell, Qian Jin was also brought up.

"Qian Jin, right! Are you the boss of the casino?"

"Yes."

Concise and concise, Zheng Xiong continued to ask.

"How long has this casino been in operation?"

Qian Jin thought for a while and gave the answer.

"One year and two months."

"So how much money did this casino make?"

This is somewhat related to the blind spot of knowledge, Qian Jin glanced at Liu Xia secretly, Liu Xia nodded, Qian Jin understood and gave the answer.

"About a thousand strings."

Hearing this number, Zheng Xiong was a little surprised, Qian Jin was obviously dishonest.

One thousand guan is a lot, but on average it is not much, about a hundred guan per month.

Calculated based on the 100 people caught, not counting other people, each person contributes [-] guan every day, which is [-] guan per day, and [-] guan per month.

There are only a few people who win money. They cut firewood for a thousand days and burn it for a day. As long as they play, they will pay it back sooner or later. The factor of winning money can be completely ignored.

Just a simple calculation, there are about [-] guan in a year and two months, and this [-] guan is definitely not the real number.

Besides, there are [-] guns found on the spot alone.

It is obviously insulting to return such a small amount of income for such a simple calculation.

"You are not honest! Do you want to taste the taste of torture?"

Qian Jin showed an innocent expression and asked in puzzlement.

"I don't know what mistake I made, so please tell me clearly."

"Then I would like to remind you that the total amount of money found that day was four thousand coins. How do you explain this?"

Qian Jin suddenly realized, and explained to Zheng Xiong.

"Except for the money brought by the gamblers, the rest is kept by the casino, just in case."

"The reason is that if you win more than you lose that day, you can pay for it. After all, gambling houses rely on reputation. It is reasonable to keep some money!"

For this explanation, Zheng Xiong scoffed in his heart.

Occasionally, it’s okay to lose a little bit, but if you win a lot, you don’t have to be impatient and do something.

Modern casinos, with diversified development, can't guarantee fairness. When you tell me about credibility, it really makes people laugh.

"Okay! One thousand strings, right? Bring the bill, and I will believe your words, otherwise I will count it ten times."

By this time, Zheng Xiong's purpose had already begun to emerge.

Qian Jin and Liu Xia had bad thoughts in their hearts.

Ten times [-] is a lot less in terms of income, so it is not a big problem to admit.

The important thing is that Zheng Xiong's intentions and purpose are not clear.

And this is obviously very important, judging from Zheng Xiong's questioning, it is not a good thing.

Not only Qian Jin, but also Liu Xia fell into a dilemma.

"My lord, the income is really only so much, and there are really no bills. We are such a small place, and we don't have the habit of keeping accounts. I hope you will learn from me."

And at this time, the words of the judge came from Zheng Xiong's side.

"My lord, your old lady is here, let you go."

The sudden thought words made Zheng Xiong stunned on the spot.

Just let me go there, can't you tell the severity?
Come and see, it doesn't hurt.

It's just that you can't wait for this little time, and come as soon as you open your mouth, regardless of the occasion.

"Say I'm not free, and go after the case is over."

"Yes."

"Where did you just say, there is no bill, right? If you don't have a bill, it will be calculated as [-] yuan. Can't you understand?"

Qian Jin had a helpless expression on his face, he was being unreasonable, what else could he say, he could only let Zheng Xiong do his best, let him go.

Just as Zheng Xiong wanted to speak, Tong San put his mouth next to Zheng Xiong's ear, whispering in a low voice.

"My lord, the officer told the old lady, but the old lady is not happy."

"I said you didn't want to go, so I came to look for you."

Zheng Xiong couldn't figure it out, and he could be tossing about it.

It's no wonder that most of the time-travelers are parents offering sacrifices to heaven.

When you meet this kind of aunt, I will come to you every now and then, no one can bear it.

Maybe it was because he got too close a few days ago, and then he hated this aunt, and always wanted to find some sense of presence in front of him, which caused this situation.

For a moment, Zheng Xiong thought of a lot of reasons.

In the end, there was nothing but a sigh.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

"Qian Jin, I will give you some more time, you should think about it carefully, and then answer after thinking about it."

After Zheng Xiong finished speaking, he went back to the back office.

There was displeasure on Jia Shi's face, seeing Zheng Xiong coming, he asked displeasedly.

"What's the matter, my mother is here, but I don't know how to come here, and I still have to invite you for my mother."

Zheng Xiong didn't talk to Mrs. Jia immediately, but looked at Mrs. Liu, telling himself intuitively that the matter was not so simple.

After saluting to Mrs. Jia, he asked.

"Ma'am, who is this lady?"

Seeing Zheng Xiong salute, Jia looked at it and regained some face, and introduced Zheng Xiong.

"This is the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of War, and I am a sister, so please call me Auntie!"

Hearing Jia Shi's introduction, Zheng Xiong finally understood.

It's still a matter of gambling after going around. This relative of the Minister of the Ministry of War has tossed so many things.

One by one, they rushed to intercede.

If it was the royal family, it would be a blast.

I also don't know how Bao Zheng managed to enforce the law impartially and impartially.

Anyway, I am quite annoying.

As far as this resistance is concerned, most people really can't bear it.
