The Golden County Magistrate

Sure enough, the yamen runners came back soon to report that the merchants had left.

Xiong Jin was furious and asked people to bring them back.

But when the yamen runners arrived, they were gone.

They had already left Lianggu County at the fastest speed.

The city gates were closed at night, but the unaware soldiers were stuffed with a few taels of silver and let the merchants leave directly.

Xiong Jin was almost vomiting blood in anger. Now, the business was not done, and the people were let go!

"Sir, we can't go on like this. We must think of a way." Cai Dadang said sadly.

"Well, you look for other merchants who are willing to continue doing business with us." Xiong Jin really had no choice but to come up with a solution that was not a solution.

Cai Dadang wanted to say something but stopped.

But in the end, he didn't say anything and agreed to leave.

This idiot has been an official for so many years, and he is still a seventh-rank county magistrate. It is a waste of effort to rely on him.

Don't push it too far, or you'll do something stupid like forcing people to agree to a deal, which will only make things even more troublesome!

You have to think of another way.

When she got home, as soon as the head of Cai got off the sedan chair, she heard the sound of horse hooves coming slowly from the corner of the street.

She turned her head and was stunned for a moment.

A man rode a horse slowly to her side and said with a smile: "Head of Cai, how about we talk about a deal?"

Head of Cai finally came to his senses and said in surprise: "Lord Li, how could you..."

The person who came was Li Feng!

Li Feng interrupted her: "This is not a place to talk, can we go in and talk?"

Head of Cai was not sure what his intention was, but if someone saw her talking to Li Feng in private and heard it from Xiong Jin, that guy was narrow-minded and suspicious, it would be dangerous.

She hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Not long after, in the flower hall in the backyard of the Cai family.

"I heard that the head of Cai lost both parents at the age of nine, but she managed to support herself and her two younger brothers. It is really admirable that a woman can do this."

Li Feng stood in front of a painting in the flower hall, admiring the landscape in the painting, and said casually.

"Lord Li, you are too kind." The head of Cai was full of questions, so he had no intention of talking to him about this. He couldn't help but turn the topic back to the main topic, "What do you mean by business just now?"

"It is said that all the businesses you have will be taken away by County Magistrate Xiong at 70% of the profits."

"Now, because of County Magistrate Xiong's stupid behavior, your businesses are even in trouble."

"However, he will never think that this is his fault. He will only blame you because you can't make money for him."

"Such a thing will never happen in our Qingshan County."

Li Feng did not answer her directly, but said.

The corner of Cai's eye twitched, and he reluctantly said: "I really don't understand what Lord Li meant by these words."

Li Feng turned and pointed at the painting in front of him: "In Li's opinion, Lord Cai is like this painting, unable to decide his own fate, and can only be admired by others. If it is damaged, or the owner loses interest, it will be the end of this painting."

The heart of Cai felt a pain, and the other party hit the pain point.

She knew too well how correct Li Feng's words were!

If she lost her value, Xiong Jin would definitely kick her out directly without even a hesitation!

"Lord Li, if you still don't tell me which business I am interested in, then please!" She said with a stern face.

"I'm not interested in the business you have," Li Feng turned around and stared at her, "but you!"

The head of Cai was stunned, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

"So Lord Li is... It's a pity that I am a broken flower and a withered willow, not worth your concern."

This made Li Feng stunned.

Then he reacted and said with a smile: "Boss, you misunderstood. Li has no bad intentions towards you, but he is interested in your business ability."

Boss Cai finally understood what he meant and said awkwardly: "I misunderstood. If I understand what Lord Li said correctly, do you want to recruit me?"

Li Feng said heavily: "Boss, do you know that Lord Chen sent me here not to ask Xiong Jin for compensation, but for you!"

Boss Cai was stunned.

She had doubted Li Feng's intention before, and felt that he really didn't need to ask Xiong Jin for compensation, because everyone knew that Xiong Jin would definitely not agree.

But she didn't expect that the other party's real purpose was her!

"Xiong Jin dared to do something that is detrimental to Qingshan County. I can assure you that within ten days, he will be stripped of his official hat."

"As his accomplice, I'm afraid that Mr. Cai will be implicated."

"But my master values ​​talent. If Mr. Cai is willing to give up his dark side and join the light side, Mr. Chen will never take away your 70% profit!"

Li Feng said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the head of Cai's family felt his heart tremble and his chest kept rising and falling.

She was unwilling to accept that 70% of the profit she had worked so hard to earn was taken away by others.

But she had no choice.

Since ancient times, people have never fought against officials, let alone officials like Xiong Jin who were inhumane.

After a while, she shook her head and said, "Thank you, Lord Li and Lord Chen, for your appreciation, but I'm sorry that I can't agree. You two may not know how deep the relationship between Lord Longzhou and Lord Xiong is. "

There was something behind the words, which meant that as long as Lord Longzhou was there, Lord Xiong would never take off his official hat, and it would be impossible for Chen Yan to bring him down.

What's more, she would never go to Chen Yan no matter what.

Qingshan County, a well-known remote and impoverished place!

If you do business there, you might starve to death! Even if Xiong Jin fell, she would never go there.

Li Feng didn't say much, just said, "There are some things that are inconvenient to say more. If there is a chance, Mr. Cai can come to Qingshan County and talk to Mr. Chen in person. I can assure you that you will change your mind without anyone persuading you. Goodbye! "

He said, and turned around to leave.

But when he was about to leave the flower hall, he stopped again and said.

"Xiong Jin has been deserted by everyone."

After saying that, he walked out of the house.

Mr. Cai thought about the last sentence several times and was shocked. Could it be...

The next morning, she left Lianggu County and went to Qingshan County by carriage under the pretext of looking for someone to discuss business.

Li Feng's words made her quite curious. This man was obviously not the type to talk nonsense. Why was he so sure that as long as she went to Qingshan County, she would change her mind?

As soon as she left the county, Xiong Jin sent someone to leave the county government quickly.

"You want to play tricks in front of me? You are looking for death! "

Watching the fast horse disappear at the end of the street, Xiong Jin let out a long sigh, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

It's not that he hadn't thought about it before, but he had always been reluctant.

After all, although this move is incredibly powerful, it costs money, and the money can't be small.

But now, the other party has finally completely angered him, even if it costs money, he has to deal with the other party!
