People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 261 My uncle is the deputy prefect Li Gang! How dare you touch me?

After staying in Xuanfu for a few days, he set off for Taiyuan again.

Along the way, Chen Han finally felt the feeling of a leader's inspection.

Along the way, there is a government office that handles treasures and cash.

Chen Han really felt one sentence personally along the way. He only said one sentence, but he really had to carry it out to the end.

It was precisely because along the way that he had seen so many things changed because of his words that he felt a little uneasy.

Now what I say is a good thing, no matter what the result is, it can make people happy.

Then if I accidentally make a wrong decision in the future, and the people below also implement it in the same way, what will be the result?

Thinking of this, Chen Han finally understood why people in high positions were always so slow to make decisions.

It's not that they don't know about efficiency, but they know too well that what they say is really gold-plated words, and that will cost a lot.

After thinking about this, he finally understood how out of his mind what he said when he was a little bitch.

We believe that something always comes out of our mouths through emotion.

But those who make decisions must use reason to weigh the results.

These are two completely different ways of handling things.

……

On this day, we entered Taiyuan.

Chen Han and his party entered an inn next to the official road without much fanfare.

The post station has now become a guest house, which not only provides food and accommodation for officials passing by on official business, but also

Passers-by can also check in as long as they pay a certain room fee.

Chen Han and the others didn't want to disturb the place, so they disguised themselves as passing merchants, paid the room fee and went inside to rest.

Not to mention that there are probably more people doing business in Shanxi, and the inns here are more luxurious.

Officials can eat and drink for free, but passers-by have to pay more. Chen Han does not have too many requirements for this. As long as they provide reciprocal services, this is what you and I are willing to do.

"Master Guo, I really didn't expect that the inns we saw along the way were quite ordinary, but when we came here, we were treated like there was no one above the inn." Du Qing, a master of Jin Yiwei who was accompanying him, laughed.

Du Qing is also well-informed, and he has already reached the sixth rank of Jinyiwei Baihu.

He is a true master of martial arts, and he is the leader of the ten personal guards this time.

After entering the room and settling down, Chen Han and the others drank tea and rested in the room.

Du Qing is about the same age as him, and the two of them can talk pretty well.

Chen Han took a sip of tea. Yang Ruxiao, the sixth-grade manager of Jinyiwei's experience department, gave Chen Han more tea and said with a smile: "Most of the merchants coming and going here are Shanxi merchants. Shanxi merchants are rich and famous all over the world. The inn will provide them with some supplies accordingly." A more luxurious reciprocal reception is also appropriate."

Chen Han also nodded: "As long as they pay to move in, pay taxes on time, and promote local business, how to operate it is their business.

This place is relatively close to Taiyuan, and we just happened to have a look at the folk customs here. "

Du Qing said with a smile: "Hey! They say Shanxi's Xinghuacun Fenjiu is top-grade, so I have to taste it this time."

"Don't miss the important event of the Duke!" Yang Ruxiao said with a smile.

"Look at what you said, we have always been steady people. How have I missed something in the past few months?" Du Qing was very unconvinced.

The three of them were drinking tea and chatting when they heard noisy footsteps coming from the stairs.

"It's your business if you don't have a room. Why do you dare to offend the Zhang family? Just drive away the irrelevant people!" The voice outside was rough and arrogant.

The post manager of the post station accompanied him: "Master Zhang, I'm really sorry today. A big businessman from the south brought more than 20 people with him, and now the place is full."

"Tch! I thought it was an official passing by, but it turned out to be a businessman from the south. Is their business as big as ours?" The rough voice came again.

This time Chen Han and the others paid attention.

The business people Yi Cheng mentioned just now are himself and others.

This is not the key, the key is that this Yi Cheng is an official from the eighth rank anyway, how can he be driven by a businessman.

You must know that even though so many people came up just now, he did not come to greet them personally.

Judging from the meaning of the young and rough man, their family's business is very large, so they have the qualifications to be arrogant.

This is strange.

The current trend in the Ming Dynasty is obviously that the status of these business people is not high, but this young man is so presumptuous. It seems that the business must have reached a certain level, so he is so arrogant and domineering.

The Yi Cheng laughed along with him: "Look, you said that even the little one with half a head would know that the Zhang family's business in Taiyuan is well known all over the world."

In the room, Yang Ruxiao said: "Master Guo, I really know that this Taiyuan Zhang family is in the silk, tea, and salt business. It is said that they control a large amount of salt in Lianghuai. No wonder the local government has to give them a lot of money." To save face,

This Zhang family is a bit remarkable. "

Du Qing was angry: "No matter how powerful he is, he is still a businessman. Yi Cheng is still an official. It is simply embarrassing to please a businessman like this."

"Local snakes are arrogant and domineering, and money can lead to gods. There is nothing wrong with that." Chen Han didn't care.

Even an upright official cannot understand this kind of thing.

The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer: "Have these five rooms been taken over by them?"

The voice was already at the door.

Yi Cheng said: "Yes, these are the only five rooms left in the station that have been booked by them."

The young man shouted: "Tell them to clean up and get out!"

"This... Mr. Zhang and the others also gave money! There is no such reason... Ouch..." As soon as Yi Cheng spoke, he was kicked and fell to the ground.

"It doesn't make sense? You actually dare to say such things to me. Do you know that you, a little eighth-rank official, have more dogs than dogs on the street? I just need to say hello to you and let you lose your official position tonight." Disgraced!" The young man's arrogance made Chen Han frown.

This has gone beyond ordinary arrogance and domineering.

No matter how rich you are, you can't behave like this.

But what surprised Chen Han and the others was that the Yi Cheng immediately knocked on Chen Han's door after getting up.

Chen Han gestured to Du Qing.

Du Qing stepped forward and opened the door: "What can you do?"

Only then did Chen Han see the young man outside with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He was dressed in rich clothes and looked like he was twenty-three or four years old. His face was pale and pale, and he looked like he was over-consumed.

Behind him were four thug-like men.

When Yi Cheng saw Du Qing opening the door, he was a little timid. He has also stayed here for several years, and he has seen countless people coming and going while in charge of the inn.

His eyes are still very capable of recognizing people and dealing with things.

He could tell when Chen Han and the others entered the inn. Chen Han's demeanor was majestic and he had the demeanor of having been in a high position for a long time. This was something that ordinary people simply could not imitate.

So I decided that even if Chen Han and the others were doing business, they would not be small businessmen.

Being treated so roughly at this time, Yi Cheng was a little afraid to speak for fear of offending some important person.

But the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked thing behind the god didn't care about that. He pushed Yi Cheng away and stood in front of Du Qing, who was a head taller than him: "What's the matter? This young master has taken a liking to your room. You guys will come right away." Pack your things and get out!”

Du Qing frowned: "Why? We also paid the rent to move in. Don't we understand the first-come, first-served rule?"

"Oh! I said you guys who are doing business outside really don't know that local snakes are not easy to deal with, right? I'm telling you, I'm telling you now, you'd better go around in circles. If I'm not happy, If I break your legs and throw you out, you won't even find a place to cry, do you understand?" said the young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

Du Qing crossed his arms and said indifferently: "I don't know who you are, I'll give you a try!"

The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks glanced behind him and said, "Oh, you are still a Jianghu person! I'm saying you silly guy, since you are a Jianghu person, you should travel around the Jianghu. The most important thing is not to offend the locals, just ask your people to clean up. Get out of here!"

The helper behind him even said: "Boy, you heard that this is Zhang Yi, the third son of the Zhang family in Taiyuan. You can go and have a look. The third son Zhang is also a well-known figure in the whole of Taiyuan.

You are lucky enough to talk to you politely now, why don't you get out of here! "

Du Qing, a master, didn't pay attention to them at all, and still took care of himself: "We don't know Mr. Zhang. We only know that since I paid the money, I can live here. We moved in first. You have no place to live there." It's your business.

I also tell you that my young master is going to rest. If you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better leave now, otherwise we won't be polite. "

Hey……

"Emotions are cruel, good fellow. I have never seen anyone in Taiyuan who wouldn't leave after hearing my name!" Zhang Yi was furious: "Okay! You guys, beat me up. If you beat me to death, it's mine! Let's The feng shui of this place in Taiyuan is good, so burying a few of these foreigners will give them some face."

Upon seeing this, the postmaster stepped forward to break up the fight: "I tell you guys, please let the kitchen come. We will refund the money to you. You can go and go elsewhere. There is an inn ahead. How about staying there?" "

Yang Ruxiao sounded uncomfortable inside: "You are also an eighth-grade official after all, so you have no dignity?"

Yi Cheng smiled bitterly: "I said you really don't know about this gentleman. Our Taiyuan is a prosperous place, and there are many uncles coming and going. How dare I, the sesame and mung bean land manager, dare to be so presumptuous? Think of it as my fault. You go." Bar!"

Chen Han was even more free inside.

He originally came here to see the customs and customs of the people.

I didn't expect to see such a scene just after I settled in. It was just in time to see if I could dig out anything from this sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked thing.

Then he smiled and said: "I have also traveled extensively, and I have never seen such an arrogant and domineering person. If you are polite, we might even give up one or two rooms.

Now that you are so rude, we still won’t give in. Du Qing, don’t hold back! "

Du Qing smiled and said, "Okay, just watch!"

He looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Come up if you have the ability!"

While he was talking, Chen Han's guards came out from the next room: "Du Tou, what's going on?"

Du Qing said: "It's okay, you don't need to do anything. I haven't used chopsticks for a long time and my muscles are loose. I just want to take it out on these people."

Other guards pressed against the wall and forced themselves into the room, guarding Chen Han's side.

Zhang Yi was also furious: "Hmph! Well done, you want to die, don't you? Beat me!"

At the command, four big men rushed up from the corridor and pounced on Du Qing.

Du Qing fought one against four and went up with his bare hands.

I saw him firing his bow from left to right, punching one and kicking two over.

In just a few seconds, the four people who rushed up were knocked to the ground.

Because it was too fast, Du Qing didn't even finish the warm-up: "Ah! I thought such a big guy could fight, but it's not enough!"

Du Qing came from a serious career in the army. He joined the army at the age of fifteen, and it has been twelve years now. He has seen a lot of blood from the Tatars of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. How can he still be afraid of these people?

Zhang Yi, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, was startled when he saw this.

"Okay, you! You are so brave. You dare to hit my people. I want you all to die. I want you..."

Before he finished speaking, Du Qing had already taken a step forward, grabbed him by the collar and picked him up like a chicken.

"What do you want to do? Let me go! I am the third son of the Zhang family. My father is the patriarch of the Zhang family. My uncle is the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture. My sister is married to the commander of the Taiyuan Guard. You dare to touch me? All must die!"

Chen Han frowned as he listened.

It seems that these Shanxi merchants still have some skills.

The entire Shanxi area has probably been infiltrated. No wonder he is so bold.

There is a phenomenon in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. Official officials in the yamen are transferred from other places and cannot be local people.

But the deputy, that is, the tongzhi, is often a local.

After all, they are local snakes and are relatively familiar with the local area. Only by cooperating with each other can they manage the local area well.

And this deputy position is usually a serious officer, and sometimes even the local people are more willing to listen to a sentence, but it is more effective than the full-time position.

This guy's uncle is actually a fellow magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture. No wonder the little Yi Cheng doesn't dare to offend him.

After Zhang Yi announced his identity, Du Qing looked at Chen Han and hesitated.

And at this moment of hesitation, Zhang Yi laughed loudly: "Why are you afraid? If you are afraid, just kowtow to me a few times, and then get out of here!"

When Chen Han saw him like this, he smiled and said, "I have seen a little bit of the world, but I haven't met Li Gang, a colleague of the Yamen. I will wait here. If you have the ability, you can Let your uncle come and redeem the man."

When Du Qing heard this, he threw him to the ground.

what……

This time, Zhang Yi almost fell to pieces.

"You are really looking for death, Yi Cheng! Yi Cheng!" he shouted at the top of his voice.

Yi Cheng came up tremblingly: "Master Zhang, my subordinate is here."

"Are you deaf? Doesn't he want to see my uncle? Go and send a letter to my uncle quickly, hurry up!!"
