The old man said in a low voice: "This place is different from Chang'an City. I don't know how far it is to go to the capital, and now these people have learned to be smart. On the surface, they will never take bribes. Fish and meat run rampant in the countryside and treat the people very kindly. Also work."

"But they are also very clever in their methods of seeking personal gain."

"Talking about Wu Xing Xing, his family's boss opened a firm that is the number one firm in Wuhuo City, his second son opened an escort agency that is very famous in Fuzhou, and the third is the county magistrate of Daqu County in Wuhuo City. .”

"Tell me, if there is no point here, who would believe it?"

"Where are the current officials unscrupulous and extortionate, they all use their power to open the back door for their families."

Let's talk about gossip.

The old man is full of energy.

1096 Li Er Wants To Meet Hard (3/3)

Listen to what the old man said.

Li Er fell into deep thought, I have Zhang Liangji, and he has a wall ladder.

The old man's words awakened the dreamer.

Now.......

Is this how it works now?

Li Er turned his head to look at Qin Mu, frowned, and pondered, "What do you think?"

Qin Mu said indifferently: "This question is more complicated. If someone relies on their strength, there is nothing wrong with it. The investigation can only investigate whether Wu Xingxing used power for personal gain to open a back door for his son."

Li Er nodded slightly.

On the contrary, this is the truth, and it really cannot be arbitrarily judged just because the sons of others are excellent.

Everything needs evidence.

Afterwards, Li Er turned to the old man and said, "Old man, you can continue selling melons, we are leaving."

Listen to this.

The old man was still a little bit lost, reluctantly said: "Guest officer, don't we want to talk anymore?"

"Hehe..." Li Er smiled honestly, "No, we still have to go to the city and find an inn to stay in. If we don't leave, it will be dark."

"That's good, that's good..." The old man stood up, "Those guest officers, go slowly."

Subsequently.

Wang Xuance paid the silver.

Qin Mu and his party rode their horses towards Wuhuo City.

Just now, according to what the old man said, Wu Gang was framed by Wu Zhanxing.

Qin Mu couldn't help laughing, someone really dared to plot against him.

It seems that too few people have been killed in the past few years, and the reputation of Lord Shura's son-in-law will be lost.

Qin Mu must investigate this matter to the end.

......

Wuhuo City.

main street.

There is an endless stream of people coming and going.

Wuhuo City is the second largest city in Fuzhou, very prosperous.

On both sides of the street, there are many shops, row upon row.

Qin Mu and the others led the horses, shuttled among them, and found a luxurious inn to live in.

Now in September, it is the time when all kinds of tea come out in Fuzhou, so the inns are full, and there are a lot of tea merchants coming and going to buy.

After Qin Mu and the others checked in, it was already evening, and they went downstairs to have something to eat at the inn.

at this time.

About [-]% of the guests are already sitting in the lobby of the inn, and the business is booming.

Wang Xuance ordered some dishes and some jars of good wine.

There is no way, Yu Chigong has no money on him, they are eating Qin Mu.

And when I came out with Li Er, I couldn't eat more than once, every meal was very hearty.

However, Qin Mu wasn't short of food money.

After the dishes are served.

A few people moved their chopsticks and ate and drank. They were hungry after a day of running around today.

This is the first meal of Zhenger Bajing.

Li Er picked up his cup and took a sip, then pondered, "Qin Mu, what do you think we should do about this? Let's go straight to the prefect's mansion or something?"

"If it's true that they deliberately troubled you at Mangya Trading Company, I will never tolerate it."

Mentioned Mangya Trading Company.

Li Er also became serious. He could plot against Mangya Trading Company, but others definitely couldn't.

Mangya Commercial Firm is the largest commercial firm in the world. It pays countless taxes to the Ministry of Households every year, and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

He absolutely does not allow anyone to interfere with the interests of Mangya Trading Company.

That was not against Mangya Trading Company, but against him, Li Er.

Qin Mu ate a mouthful of fish, and said calmly: "The prefect's mansion is not in a hurry, they are here, why don't you pay attention to the people's sentiments?"

"Wu Gang's life is definitely not in danger. Let's check the background of Wu Zhanxing's family first, and then go to the old tea farmer's house to take a look."

"That's fine." Li Er casually nodded, and then murmured, "Well, it's okay if it's too late today. Tomorrow, we'll divide into three groups and go out to find out the news." Immediately afterwards, he looked at Qin Mu, "Tomorrow Let's form a team of two, then Zhijie and Jingde will be in a team, Xuan Ce and Rengui will be in a team."

heard.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Who dares to have an opinion on the group assigned by Li Er.

at the same time.

There was a chatter from several businessmen at the neighboring table.

"The tea party is about to start tomorrow, have you guys brought enough money?"

"Of course, this year's Chinese New Year is to eat delicious and spicy food, or to eat bran swallowed vegetables, it all depends on tomorrow."

"I don't know if you have heard that Wu's Commercial Bank will charge an additional [-]% membership fee this year."

"Why do you need to add [-]%? I'm afraid this military official is poor and crazy. A few years ago, the Wuhuo government government hosted tea parties, and they only charged half of the membership fee. It would be better to transfer it to Wu's business, and the membership fee has changed from half to [-]%." Thirty percent, it's also a good name that the government doesn't participate in business, I'm bah~"

"That's right, who doesn't know that Wuchen is the son of Wu Zhanxing? They are using power for personal gain."

"That's right, the court will deal with them sooner or later."

......

Several businessmen spoke, filled with righteous indignation, and spoke fiercely.

After hearing this, Qin Mu and the others looked at each other, but they didn't expect that there was something wrong here.

Li Er looked at the table, and turned his head at Qin Mu, "Tomorrow, the two of us will go straight to the tea party and see what kind of monsters are happening here."

Li Er came out this time with a mission.

He set himself an achievable small goal, to catch two corrupt officials who broke the law.

Now it seems that there is something to make up for.

"Okay." Qin Mu nodded slightly, "Then let's go to this tea party tomorrow and see what the hell this Wu family is up to!"

......

The next day.

early morning.

Wuhuo City.

After Li Er and his party had breakfast, the troops divided into three groups.

The four of Cheng Yaojin went to inquire about the Wu family.

Qin Mu and Li Er went straight to the southern suburbs.

This year, the Wuhuo City Tea Party was exclusively held by Wu's Commercial Bank in the southern suburbs.

Almost all tea farmers in Wuhuo City came to sell tea, and tea merchants from all over the territory of Datang came to collect tea.

Qin Mu and Li Er went there in a bullock cart, wandering along the way, all businessmen from all over the place were rushing to the tea party.

It takes about a stick of incense.

Qin Mu and Li Er rushed to the tea party.

Said it was a tea party.

It's just a large piece of wasteland surrounded by fences, and there are tea stalls inside.

There are government soldiers around the tea party to maintain order.

However, this is understandable.

Whenever there are grand gatherings in the cities of the Tang Dynasty, government soldiers can be used to maintain order.

After all, there are more than one hundred people, and there are huge crowds.

In front of the main entrance.

The merchants who entered the tea party had already formed a long queue, all complaining about Wu's firm.

"Wuchen has gone too far this year. He has to pay five taels of silver to enter the venue. Is he crazy?"

"That is, this year Wu's Commercial Bank has gone too far. Not to mention the increase in membership fees, there is an extra five taels of silver to enter the venue. Is this something people do?"

"The imperial court didn't come to investigate. He simply doesn't treat us businessmen as human beings."

"That's right, we came all the way to Wuhuo City to collect tea, it's fine for them to be rude, and they still deceive us like this!"

"Hmph... there may not be any moths if you go in later!?"

All the businessmen were talking about it, but none of them said that Wu's firm was good.

Listen to them.

Li Er's eyes were bright, it seemed that there were quite a few things going on here.

At this moment, he was really looking forward to a head-to-head confrontation with Wu's Firm, a local snake.

Chapter 1097 Exposing The Old Truth (1/3)

Although all the tea merchants complained, few left.

They all came from the various states in the Tang Dynasty, and they had already consumed a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

I will never leave because of the entry money of five taels of silver.

They hope that Wuchen will not make any more fools.

Qin Mu and Li Er followed in a long line.

moment.

They paid ten taels of silver and followed into the venue.

The Wuhuo Tea Fair is very famous in Fuzhou, so tea farmers from all cities and counties in Fuzhou almost come here to sell tea.

Qin Mu and Li Er wandered around in front of each stall, and the more people went inside, the fewer people there were, because the more expensive the tea inside, the more expensive it was.

The two walked slowly inside.

Li Er looked around and said to Qin Mu: "This Fuzhou tea party is really good. In fact, this model can be promoted to all parts of the Tang Dynasty. Other state roads can also gather local special agricultural products together, so that merchants from all over the world can come to choose , to increase the sales of agricultural products in various places”
