Daxianguan

Chapter 479 Visiting the Chairman
When Li Ji realized it, he was extremely grateful in his heart, and at the same time worked harder, doing everything by himself, digging out all the official corruption in Wacheng.

Among other things, Zhan Wende, De Ruixiang's big shopkeeper in Wacheng, not only bullied the market, bribed officials, but also carried many lives.

Many merchants who competed with him, foreign merchants disappeared mysteriously, and it was finally confirmed that they died in the hands of this Zhan Wende.

In Wacheng, Zhan Wende not only monopolized the glazed tile business, but also such lucrative commodities as blood stones and spirit stones can only be produced by De Ruixiang.

Even behind the scenes, Zhan Wende and the others are also engaged in the sale and purchase of monster races, human races, human trafficking, and some prohibited drugs. These conditions violate the laws of the holy pilgrimage.

When all of these things were revealed to the world, even Li Ji was pissed off, and he just listed a few cases. Zhan Wende and the others abducted and sold human women, bought them into certain tribes in the Yaozu territory, and earned a large amount of gold and silver from them. , enough to kill Zhan Wende a hundred times.

While investigating the Wacheng case, ghosts and monsters from all walks of life appeared, and they came to intercede.

Not to mention Chu Xian, but Li Ji, in the past two days, they received more than a dozen letters from various paper cranes, and some of them were from high-ranking officials in Jingzhou.

Although the letter did not directly instruct Li Ji to grant mercy outside the law, there were hints and hints, some of which were obvious threats and temptations.

It can be said that Li Ji has been under tremendous pressure these two days.

And the more so, Li Ji knew that the Wacheng case was more involved. At this time, someone spread outside, saying that the chairman of the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce was coming to visit.

Deruixiang is one of the six major chambers of commerce in Liangzhou. Although its chairman is not an official, his influence is quite huge. He is also a guest of high-ranking officials from all walks of life.

So even Li Ji didn't dare to neglect.

Li Ji thought about it and went to find Chu Xian. He was afraid that he would not be able to handle this matter alone.

After Chu Xian found out, he asked, "Is there anything about Wacheng that can point to the chairman of the De Ruixiang Chamber of Commerce?"

Li Ji now has great admiration for Chu Xian, the young governor, so he said very carefully: "I checked, and there is no, they do everything seamlessly, and all things in Wacheng can only be pointed at Zhan Wende in the end."

Chu Xian nodded: "That's why this president dared to come to us in a big way. Okay, if he wants to talk, let's talk to him."

When Li Ji saw it, his heart felt relieved. It can be said that with the governor in charge, he felt much more at ease.

At the same time, in the reception hall of Wacheng City Mansion, people from the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce are already waiting.

Among them, an old man is obviously the center of these people.

This person has an extraordinary appearance, and the clothes on his body are even more glamorous. Even if it is just the most common accessory on his body, it is also a priceless treasure carefully crafted.

Of course, the clothes on this person are not only glamorous, but also practical, and they are all magic weapons blessed with mana.

This person is naturally the chairman of the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce, Wu Chengxiang.

Along with him, there was a scribe, and a woman with big arms and round waist showing a fierce face, and the last one was an old Taoist priest wearing a green cloud crown and holding a whisk.

A total of four people.

When I was young, Chu Xian came in head first, followed by Li Ji.

Then Wu Chengxiang immediately opened his eyes and got up to greet him.

"Wu Chengxiang has met Lord Inspector, and he has heard about Lord Inspector's name a long time ago. To meet him today is a great fortune." Wu Chengxiang actually had no pretensions, and was very humble.

Several other people also saluted Chu Xian and Li Ji respectively.

Here, there is nothing wrong with the etiquette of the scribes. At first glance, the other party is a person who has read a lot of poetry and books. As for the fat woman, she is very impatient. The old Taoist priest at the end just nodded slightly.

Chu Xian looked at the old Taoist priest, and thought in his heart that De Ruixiang was really rich, and he could even find the top practitioner of Dharma Body.

At the peak of the Dharma body, it is close to a Taoist immortal.

There are even some practitioners at the peak of Dharma Bodies who can be compared with Taoist Immortals with the help of their powerful cultivation base and background.

This is the case with the old Taoist priest in front of him.

At this moment when everyone was seated, Chu Xian said, "Chairman Wu is here for the Wacheng Branch, right?"

No politeness, straight to the point, Chu Xian has always done things like this, not to mention that he basically knows the purpose of the other party's visit, so there is no need to put on a show.

Wu Chengxiang nodded: "That's right, speaking of it, I was not strict in discipline. I didn't expect Zhan Wende to do these wrong things behind my back. This is Wu who came to apologize."

Chu Xian secretly laughed in his heart, what the old guy said was nice, but in his words, he already threw all the blame on Zhan Wende, the unlucky ghost.

It seems that the other party intends to let Zhan Wende bear all the charges.

This was also in Chu Xian's expectation, but Chu Xian didn't believe it. The person surnamed Wu didn't know about the Wacheng matter, and Chu Xian didn't believe it even more. The person surnamed Wu didn't participate in these matters.

So Chu Xian smiled slightly: "The matter of Zhan Wende is being investigated. If it has nothing to do with President Wu, you don't need to come to apologize."

Wu Chengxiang shook his head: "Then Zhan Wende relied on being my son-in-law, and he usually behaved mischievously. It was because of my daughter that I endured it again and again. Moreover, he monopolizes the power in the chamber of commerce, so he did these wrong things. If I can If you pay attention and correct it in time, it won't lead to a catastrophe. I heard that Zhan Wende has evaded a lot of tax money these years. Although these are his faults, they are all related to De Ruixiang, so I still invite the governor My lord said a number, no matter how much it is, even if it is a waste of money, Wu must make up for the lack of tax money, and we must not suffer losses from the Holy Dynasty."

It can be said that Wu Chengxiang said this from the heart, and he was very serious. If he was not strong in concentration, he would probably have been infected by this old boy, and even believed his words.

As for Chu Xian, believe him to be a ghost.

Chu Xian could tell that Wu Chengxiang was planning to "spend money and eliminate disasters", and he was planning to resolve the matter. After paying the tax, many things would be easier to handle, and how could Chu Xian not hear it? Wu Chengxiang was planning to Push all the crimes on Jan Wende.

In this way, the De Ruixiang Chamber of Commerce can be taken out.

In other words, everything was done by Zhan Wende, and it has nothing to do with De Ruixiang. In this way, the damage to the entire De Ruixiang Chamber of Commerce can also be minimized.

Chu Xian smiled without saying a word. He knew that Wu Chengxiang's tricks must be more than these, so it's better to keep quiet and see what other performances the other party has.

Wu Chengxiang didn't seem to feel any embarrassment at all, but continued: "These days, there are also many old friends who have written to question and teach, and Wu accepts these humbly, just like Mr. The chamber of commerce is also a century-old chamber of commerce, so we must be cautious in employing people, Master Jiang's words are reasonable, so this time is a profound lesson for De Ruixiang."

Chu Xian sneered this time.

Wu Chengxiang's subtle influence was to excuse themselves and put pressure on themselves. Even the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance moved out.

However, Chu Xian is really not afraid of the Secretary of the Household Department. Although the other party is the fourth rank, which is higher than his fifth rank, since Chu Xian has already planned to stop asking for funds from the Household Department, it is okay to offend him. nothing.

More importantly, if Nasi Langzhong and De Ruixiang get involved too deeply, Chu Xian will pull each other down sooner or later.

But this kind of thing will definitely not be said.

Chu Xian didn't speak, he didn't speak, and Li Ji wouldn't say either. In fact, when Wu Chengxiang mentioned the household department doctor, Li Ji already felt the huge pressure, but fortunately, Chu Xian was on top of it.

Seeing that Chu Xian didn't speak, Wu Chengxiang was not embarrassed at all, but said: "Lord Inspector, Wu is not here to plead for mercy, but because that Zhan Wende is the husband of the little girl, and the son-in-law of Wu, but you, Mr. Inspector, Don't worry, he violated the law for the first time, so he can be punished according to the punishment, but there is one thing, please agree with Mr. Inspector."

As he spoke, he turned his head to the fat and ugly woman and said, "Daughter, come here to pay respects to Lord Inspector."

Although the fat woman was unwilling, she could only come over to salute honestly.

"Lord Inspector, this is the little girl Lian'er. Although Zhan Wende committed a heinous crime, he is my son-in-law and my daughter's husband after all, so I would like to ask Lord Inspector to allow the husband and wife to meet again. Let this be a farewell." Wu Chengxiang sighed, Said.

The fat woman named Lian Er was obviously angry at this moment, and couldn't help saying: "Father, you have to save Wen De, he is your son-in-law, my husband."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Chu Xian and said, "Lord Inspector, I beg you, please let go of my Wende family. At worst, we will lose money. What's more, sir, you can kill other people. It will definitely not hurt to kill one less person." questionable."

Wu Chengxiang over there immediately reprimanded: "Lian'er, don't mess around in front of Lord Inspector."

Lian'er immediately cried: "I'm not messing around. Although Wende is the shopkeeper of Wacheng, he only has one person. If his subordinates didn't instigate him and help him with affairs, how could he do so much by himself? I see, Someone must have led him on purpose, Lord Inspector, I am willing to spend 50 taels to atone for my husband, if 50 taels is not enough, 100 million taels will do."

Wu Chengxiang was still reprimanding him, but apparently, the old fox was also secretly observing Chu Xian.

It can be said that as long as Chu Xian relaxes a little bit in punishing Zhan Wende, then he can get 100 million taels. There will be no less than this number of benefits in secret.

Obviously, no matter who it is for, this is an absolute huge sum of money, which is enough for the family to spend a lifetime in extreme luxury.

It's a bait.

It was also a trial.

But from Chu Xian's point of view, the opponent's retreat is the only way to advance.
