The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

How could the three presidents understand Zhu Shiyong's mood at the moment, thinking that he was worried that his black yarn would not be safe, and he was anxious to cry; Anyone who wants to lose everything he owns will feel sorry for him.

"My lord, the old man's words are a little heavy, and I think I'm offended, so please forgive me; but the matter is far from the time of sad tears, why should this be so?" Tang Jiyuan was still consoling, afraid that Zhu My lord can't think about losing fighting spirit for a while, and now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, no matter what, we must not lose our spirit, otherwise it may be a situation where everyone loses.

Zhu Shiyong wiped away his tears, and said in his heart: "You will put gold on your face, I am not as weak as you imagined, today Tang Jiyuan's words are extremely rude, and let you be arrogant, if you have a proper opportunity, I will let you all die quietly, so that you will not be hindered by you everywhere."

There was a murderous intent in my heart, but my face became more and more amiable, and I sighed: "I just had a feeling for a while, and I just shed tears. It has nothing to do with President Tang's words. Don't worry, President Tang, I have no plans for the follow-up. Arrangement, this time must not be caught by Bao Zheng, so we must make a decisive decision and immediately eliminate all future troubles."

All three members of the Chamber of Commerce stretched their necks and said, "If you have any advice, please tell me."

Zhu Shiyong smiled slightly, and said to himself: You still have to rely on me, no matter how high and powerful the person in the capital is, he can't help you make up your mind, I am!A bunch of idiots.

"For my side, I'll deal with that as soon as possible, and cut off this line. In this way, even if Bao Zheng wants to bring this matter up to me, he will only be on Wuzuo. If things happen, it's just a person who knows people. Unknown, employing people without noticing their faults is a great protection for the chamber of commerce and this official."

"Yes, yes, my lord is still considerate. I wonder what the chamber of commerce needs to do?" Tang Jiyuan was also embarrassed to throw all the pressure on the magistrate. After all, the land of Luzhou is his territory, which is really annoying. Everyone has a bad life.

"The chamber of commerce? You just need to do one thing." Zhu Shiyong took control of the situation, his face even more composed.

"My lord, please tell me, it must be properly done." Vice President Liu said.

"Sure enough? I hope." Zhu Shiyong said indifferently, President Liu stopped talking immediately, this time such a big loophole has not been discovered, so what is there to talk about.

"It's nothing special, I just need you to be the same as the official, plug the loopholes, don't let Bao Zheng touch you, and then, everyone will be finished together!" Also very cryptic.

"Your Excellency, do you mean...?" Tang Jiyuan frowned, his face full of suspicion.

"What I mean is already obvious. Whether you do it or not is up to you. I still say the same thing. If you want to die, everyone will die. You have to decide how to choose. If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood. If the mountains It collapsed, not to mention firewood, and even a stick of withered grass can’t be picked up.” Zhu Shiyong picked up the teacup on the table by connecting the bottom of the teacup, and it was time to serve tea to the guests.

Zhu Shiyong sent the three of them to the courtyard, and added a sentence while saying goodbye: "I will deal with this matter as soon as possible, and this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. Bao Zheng has to stay in Luzhou." By the end of the month."

……

The three presidents came out of the government office. Seeing the red sun was westward, they were hungry, tired and anxious, and almost collapsed. But even so, they rushed to the small hall of the chamber of commerce to analyze the meaning of the magistrate.

The table was full of snacks, and the tea was brewed. The three of them had a good meal, and the tea was filled with snacks.

With something in his stomach and his mind gradually becoming flexible, Tang Jiyuan chewed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake with difficulty and swallowed, pointing his finger at the table and said: "You two, I understand what the magistrate means, he wants us to share all the participation Get rid of all the clues to Qin Dalang's death, leaving no trace."

Shopkeeper Huang opened his mouth wide, and the pastry froth fell out of his mouth. He mumbled in a low voice, "What? Do you want us to take Xiao Hei and the others...?"

"Not only the few of them, but also the driver who transported the corpse, and the master who wrote the fake suicide note. In short, everyone involved in this matter must be eliminated..." Tang Jiyuan looked serious.

"Si..." President Liu and President Huang took a breath of air almost at the same time.

"Tang Weng, you have to be careful about this matter. This attack will cost six or seven lives. Can I wait... can I afford it?" Huang Huichang's white and fat face was covered with cold sweat, and he was trembling when he spoke. .

"If you can't bear it, you have to bear it." Tang Jiyuan said with a gloomy face: "The magistrate is right, keep the green hills, if you are bitten by Bao Zheng, you and I will be in a situation of ransacking our homes. We weigh it. Something has to be done."

Chairman Liu remained silent, as if thinking deeply, Tang Jiyuan naturally wanted to seek the opinion of Xiao Zhuge from the Chamber of Commerce, and asked, "What does Old Liu think should be done?"

President Liu said slowly: "Tang Weng, I always feel that there is a mystery here. Although following the magistrate's suggestion is the most appropriate move, I always feel that Zhu Shiyong has some other purpose."

"What purpose?" Tang and Huang asked in unison.

"I feel... the prefect seems to want to use this matter to draw a line with us. What do you think is the biggest secret between us and the prefect?"

"Naturally, Hei Qi and his group were saved. Mr. Zhu helped a lot with that matter." Tang Jiyuan said without hesitation.

"Tang Weng, over the years, Xiao Hei has done a lot for us. He has a terrible life, so it is easy to use. These years, the merchants in the four cities have been able to follow the lead of our chamber of commerce. It is thanks to Xiao Hei. Weng's decision back then was still correct, the unruly people in Luzhou City were equaled by Xiao Hei, without the iron fist of the past, and the situation today is not there." President Liu said.

"Old Liu, don't be tricky, just say it straight." Tang Jiyuan didn't want to talk about this matter, after all, killing, arson, kidnapping and extortion are not honorable things.

"Tang Weng knows best how many crimes have been committed by Xiao Hei, each and every one of them is enough to capsize us, so it is in our interest to kill them; it's just... if this matter is my Let’s just make up our own minds, Zhu Shiyong hinted that I would wait to do this, the old man thought he was hiding selfishness.”

"He is using our hands to get rid of the public case that he is most worried about. Once Xiao Hei and others die, there will be no evidence for their death in the future. No one will find out the case of stealing criminals from now on. There are only some trivial matters such as bribery and bribery, which are not enough to tie him firmly to our ship, such consequences... Has Tang Weng considered it?" Chairman Liu said worriedly.

"No, that stupid officer can think so deeply?" President Huang said in surprise.

Tang Jiyuan remained silent, thinking deeply about every word President Liu said.

"How can we lose our guard against others? What if that is the case? What if Zhu Shiyong is thinking like we are today, ready to throw his pawns and save the car, and abandon me for his own wealth and life? What will happen then?" Liu Hui long way.

"He dares!" Tang Jiyuan gritted his teeth and said, "I will let Mr. Zhongxia of the capital skin him!"

"Tang Weng, it's up to you to decide how to make a decision, and we will only follow you."

"Yes, my old Huang is the same as old Liu, I listen to you."

The statements of the two strengthened Tang Jiyuan's confidence. He thought about it and made up his mind: "Except for Xiao Hei and the others, we must do this for our own safety. Even if it is Zhu Shiyong's scheme, we have no choice. Bao Zheng is indeed As the magistrate said, he is an idiot who chases after him to the end, we cannot let him get caught."

"Then how do you live in Zhifu's house? If he turns his face and refuses to recognize anyone, wouldn't he be more dangerous than Xiao Hei and others?" President Liu said.

"It's okay, the old man has his own way to restrain him, let's not say that the evidence of his bribery is in our hands, the maid we gave him last time, Xiao Lian'er, is still a card that we didn't play. I just need Xiao Lian'er to keep an eye on him. Isn't his every move under our control? If he really dares to make a move, I will ask Lord Xia to do it in advance, so that he will not die no matter what. I know, I will write a letter to Lord Xia to explain the situation in detail, and send the twenty high-grade pearls by the way."

"If Mr. Xia takes action, will there be any entanglements with Prime Minister Lu?" Chairman Liu thought very comprehensively.

"Hehe, you don't know, Old Liu, Mr. Xia told me that Lu Xiang didn't take Zhu Shiyong seriously at all, but Zhu Shiyong's filial piety every year is rich in money and things, which is why the relationship between the two is barely maintained. Contact, let’s talk about who Master Xia wants to touch, will Lu Xiang offend Master Xia for a small magistrate?" Tang Jiyuan laughed, picked up a square cake and threw it into his mouth, and started to chew.
