Wulin Tyrant

Chapter 236
The exploitation encountered by the craftsmen in Mingde porcelain industry workshops is astonishing. No need to ask, the so-called unscrupulous businessmen must be standing behind the power of the government. This is a typical collusion between the government and businessmen to make profits The nest case, just don't know who are the three biggest backers behind the unscrupulous businessmen?

The imperial court had just rectified the Mingde porcelain industry, and within half a year, this black hand dared to reach out. He was unusually courageous and a bit unscrupulous.

Li Bin signaled his disciples to leave Laosuntou with him. Before leaving the door, Li Bin said: "Master Laosuntou, I will definitely help the artisans of Mingde Porcelain Guild to seek justice!"

Li Bin knew that he could not avoid the contract in the Mingde porcelain industry no matter what. Only by resolving the contract issue could his grand development plan for the porcelain industry be implemented.Li Bin believes that the key point in this matter is the newly appointed Qiao Zhizhou of Mingde Mansion. Qiao Zhizhou is the key figure in the Penguin Day incident. If he wants to solve the contract incident, Qiao Zhizhou is the best place to strike.

Li Bin decided that it was not too late, so he went to the Mingde government office overnight to meet Qiao Zhizhou for a while.

As soon as Li Bin and his disciples stepped on the steps of the Mingde government office, several government servants came over and shouted at Li Bin's master and apprentice, "Go away! The important place of the government office, idlers, etc., don't come near! "

Li Bin didn't bother to pay attention to the yamen servant's yelling.Ask his disciple Wei Yawei to beat the grievance drum standing outside the gate of the government office.

In Daqi, there is a big drum outside the government office of each state capital. Whenever someone beats the drum, the state government officials will be promoted.

Wei Yawei exerted all his energy and beat the grievance drum vigorously. All of a sudden, the drums of the government office were loud, and the muffled sound of the "dong dong" drum quickly made the surroundings of Mingde's government office become noisy in the dead of night. The people in the neighborhood were all very surprised, it was almost midnight, yet there were still people who dared to beat the government office's drum for grievances.

Everyone got up and went out to watch the excitement, who on earth and what kind of grievances they have, dare to come and beat the grievance drum in the middle of the night, so they are not afraid of being beaten by Master Zhizhou?
"You don't want to die? Beat the grievance drum in the middle of the night? Wait until the Master Zhizhou is promoted to the hall, and see if your two butts are not blooming!" A small yamen servant said, pointing at Li Bin's master and apprentice with a gloating expression on his face.

The yamen servant next to him said disdainfully: "Let them knock, and let them taste the strength of our Mingde Mansion's board later. Haha."

All the yamen servants around laughed together, as if they had regarded Li Bin's master and apprentice as lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Come on! Bring the person who beats the drums to me!" The new Zhizhou of Mingde Mansion sat in the lobby with a solemn expression on his face.

Li Bin, master and apprentice, were escorted into the lobby by the Mingde Mansion Yamen servants, and outside the lobby was crowded with people from the Mingde Mansion neighborhood who came to watch the fun.

"Why do you feel wronged when you play drums late at night?" Qiao Zhizhou slapped the gavel and asked loudly.

"We have no grievances." Li Bin responded loudly.

There was a sudden exclamation from the crowd watching outside the government office lobby.

"Is he looking for death? He beat the drums late at night and said he had no grievances. Isn't he asking for trouble?"

"Look at Mr. Zhizhou, you are gnashing your teeth with hatred."

"I bet those two will be beaten by Qiao Zhizhou each, and then put in prison!"

……

The people of the Mingde Mansion who were onlookers talked about it one after another.

"Crack!" Qiao Zhizhou slammed down the gavel and shouted angrily: "Bold and unreasonable people, how dare you treat beating the grievance drum as a joke and make fun of this official! Hearing orders from the left and right, the two each hit sixty blows, Put him in prison!"

"I'll see who dares to move!" Li Bin shouted loudly, holding up the big banner of the chief arrester and tiger head card.

The servants of the surrounding government offices were stunned when they saw it, and no one dared to move anymore, and they didn't know what Li Bin's background was.

Qiao Zhizhou looked closely at the tiger-headed gold medal in Li Bin's hand, was stunned, and immediately got up and said, "I don't know what the chief arrester is doing here late at night?"

Li Bin's title of chief arrester has no rank, and is not an official position granted by Da Qi. Qiao Zhizhou was a little surprised at first, but he was not afraid.

"I heard that the artisans of the porcelain guild workshop in Mingde Mansion were recently forced to sign an unfair contract of forced buying and selling. Because the other party was powerful, the craftsmen did not dare to resist, so I could only stand up. , to avenge the craftsmen!" Li Bin said loudly.

Surprises and applause erupted from the crowd outside the government office, and everyone applauded for Li Bin's actions.

Qiao Zhizhou's eyes were wide open at this time, and his face was contorted with anger.

"Since there is a contract, both parties have signed and signed it. It's a matter of mutual consent. Why does the chief arrester say it's a grievance?" Qiao Zhizhou argued cleverly, trying to gag Li Bin's mouth.

Li Bin took out a contract from his pocket, walked quickly to Qiao Zhizhou's public case table, reprinted the contract on the public case and said loudly: "The purchase price of a piece of porcelain is only 5 copper coins, and it is also stipulated that craftsmen are not allowed to resell the porcelain to others. Isn't this blatant oppression?"

Qiao Zhizhou was taken aback by Li Bin's slap, and couldn't help but get angry. He stood up and glared at Li Bin and said loudly: "The chief arrester is helping people to seek justice, at least there must be witnesses, right? Although the Mingde government office is small, it can It's not a place for anyone to yell at will!"

"I would like to testify for Captain Li!" A young man in the crowd rushed out, but was stopped outside the government office by the government officials.

Li Bin took a closer look, and found that the person who came was the son of the craftsman rescued by Li Bin of Mingde last time.

"Let people in!" Li Bin shouted.

"Shoot out those trespassers!" Qiao Zhizhou ordered.

Qiao Zhizhou deliberately ignored him, but signaled his servants to drive the visitor out of the government office.

"You only have the right to arrest the head, you have no right to judge the case, and you can't make noise in the courtroom!" Seeing that the scandal is about to be exposed, Qiao Zhizhou had no choice but to tear off his face and work with Li Binming, ignoring Li Bin, the chief arrester of Qi. In the name of it, it's about his own black hat, so he went all out.

Li Bin stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Zhizhou's lapel, and shouted angrily: "Dog officer! You are shameless, then you can just kneel down in the hall and listen to the arrester's decision."

With a shake of his hand, Qiao Zhizhou fell more than three feet away. Just as he got up, Li Bin pointed his finger in the air and touched the acupuncture points of his legs and feet. Qiao Zhizhou knelt down on his knees before he could stand still.

Seeing Li Bin making a move, the yamen servant in the hall wanted to rush up to arrest Li Bin.

On the chair behind Li Bin's desk, the gavel slapped, and he shouted: "I am the chief arrester of Daqi appointed by the emperor. Kill first and play later, the right to dispose of it. Whoever is not afraid of death, just come up!"

As soon as Li Bin finished speaking, the dozens of yamen servants in the lobby looked at each other, and they didn't dare to make things difficult for Li Bin anymore.

Li Bin then said loudly: "The magistrate of Mingde prefect colluded with unscrupulous businessmen and jointly oppressed Mingde porcelain workshop craftsmen. He has been arrested by this arrester and is awaiting trial."
