The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Now Jiang Ziyan reported directly to the officials, and the person Shi Maocai found to inspect the raw materials was also detained by Feng Ke.

The adult sent by the yamen to resolve the matter accepted Jiang Ziyan's pleading and went directly to the medical clinic.

Ever since Zhao Wu heard that a group of officers and soldiers went to the alley of the paper mill in the west of the city, he has been uneasy.

Until the sound of the officers and soldiers passing by just now sounded again, he felt even more uneasy.

The sound of people's chaotic footsteps gradually approaching, Zhao Wu kept looking in the direction of the door.He saw a group of officers and soldiers coming in from the door, and after asking the doctor a few words about his physical condition, Lian sent someone to carry him away.

Jiang Ziyan came out with the people from the yamen. As the plaintiff, he wanted to go to the yamen together.

Feng Ke went there with him, as well as the person who met Shi Maocai in the courtyard in the south of the city before, and the person Shi Maocai had brought to inspect their raw materials.

The two were arrested by Feng Ke and locked up in the backyard before, and now they happened to be used as witnesses to press them into the yamen together.

No one is afraid of death these days. Although people die for money and birds die for food, everyone still cherishes their lives when life and death are at stake.What's the use of asking for so much money when people are gone?

Zhao Wu's legs were still limp, but his whole body was fine, so he was carried to the court.

The magistrate of the government office slapped the gavel, and the servants below shouted mighty voices, and ordinary people kneeling under the stage would be shocked by the serious atmosphere.

Zhao Wu is the kind of timid person who is afraid of getting into trouble.It was not a big deal for him to ask him to take poison, direct and act in the poisoning scene before, after all, he is more than 90.00% sure that he can win the bet.At that time, there will be both life and a lot of money, killing two birds with one stone.

But now in the courtroom, when the gavel rang, he couldn't even speak very fluently.

The adults of the government office asked on the top, "Who is in the hall? Who is the last name? Where does he live?"

He stammered and replied: "Master Hui, Hui, Master Hui, the name of the villain is Zhao Wu, and he worked in Jiangji Paper Mill before, before. Then, unfortunately, the villain was poisoned, so he quit."

"It's you who said that the raw materials for making paper in Jiangji Paper Mill are poisonous!"

Zhao Wu didn't make a sound, what should be said and what should not be said at this time, his mind is completely confused.He didn't know why he was suddenly arrested by the lords of the government office.

The adult above slapped the gavel again, Zhao Wu trembled when he heard it, and said, "Yes, the villain said it."

The common people are most afraid of meeting officials, not to mention the fact that a high-ranking official crushes people to death, even an official the size of a sesame seed in the government office, in front of the common people, that is also a high-ranking official, and anyone who sees them will be a little scared .

Before the grown-ups sitting upright questioned him, Zhao Wu, who was kneeling in the hall, made all the moves tremblingly.

Including how he was bought, what exactly he was asked to do, and why he did it, he said everything.

Among the other two people tied up by Feng Ke, one was Shi Maocai's man.He didn't admit it at first, but Zhao Wu had already explained everything, and the person who was brought in to inspect the raw materials, he also pointed out that he accepted Shi Maocai's money before agreeing to the matter.

Now it's useless for that person not to admit it, Zhao Wu also confessed the poison he used to poison himself, the dose he administered was small, and there was still a lot of poison left.

He didn't dare to put this thing elsewhere, because he had been staying in the hospital all the time, and it was difficult for him to take it out, so he kept it close to his body all the time.

At this time, it is just as physical evidence.Now that there are all the witnesses and material evidence, the people in the audience can no longer argue.If they are not recruited truthfully, they will suffer a lot when sentencing.

So everyone in the audience confessed that the mastermind behind this incident was Shi Maocai, a student of Bailu Academy.

This case is probably the fastest case closed by the adults of the government office.From the opening of the trial to the conclusion of the case, it took less than two hours in total.

After the trial was over, the government office gave the person who was called to inspect the raw materials ten boards and let him go back.

This person did not make any serious mistakes, but he accepted Shi Maocai's money and agreed to examine the materials, in fact to explore the secrets of other people's raw materials.

Zhao Wu and another person were temporarily detained.

Regarding Shi Maocai, the mastermind behind the framing of Jiangji Paper Mill, the government office sent people to Shifu after the trial of the case.

When they arrived at Shi's mansion, the yamen servant who went there explained the reason, and he wanted to arrest Shi Mao before returning to the yamen for conviction.

Father Shi was also in business, so he didn't believe it at all when he heard the officials say that his son was instigating and slandering Chengxi Jiangji Paper Mill behind his back.

His son will be a person who wants to obtain fame in the future, how could he be caught in the government office and ruin his reputation for nothing.

So he dragged the yamen servants in the front yard, circling around with his words.At the same time, he winked at the boy beside him, telling him to go to the backyard to report to his wife and son.

When Shi's mother in the backyard heard it, she didn't believe what the yamen servants said.How could such an excellent son of hers do such a thing?

Shi's mother asked the maid to block Shi Maocai's door and told him not to come out.And let the servant girl quickly send someone to find her elder brother, who is the acquaintance, and let him come over quickly.

After finishing these, she went to Shi Maocai's room.

Shi Maocai was sitting in front of the desk at this moment. He leaned back on the chair, clasped his hands on the table, lowered his head, and his whole body fell into the shadows.

He heard the commotion outside, and the plan was completely messed up this time.Not only did he fail to obtain Su Jian's raw material formula, but he was also sued by the other party to the government.

That kid Zhao Wu was even more unreliable, and he directly confessed him.What should he do now?If he was caught in the government office, if he was sentenced, he would have a criminal record, so how could he obtain fame and glory?

Shi Maocai sat motionless at the table when Shi's mother came in. He regrets it now, but it's not that he regrets setting up this trap, but that he shouldn't come forward in person. He should find a scapegoat.

Seeing her son like this, Shi's mother understood somewhat in her heart, it seems that what the yamen servants said was probably true.

But speculation is always speculation, and the things that should be asked should be asked clearly.

Shi's mother walked over and said, "My son, what have you been doing these days? Tell mother, is what those yamen servants said true?"

Shi Maocai seemed to have finally felt scared, he plunged into Shi's mother's arms, pleading: "Mother, I just wanted to teach them some lessons, but I didn't expect them to go straight to the government.

Mother, I beg you, please help me.You go to your uncle and ask him to come forward and suppress this matter.I will take the scientific examination next year. If I go to jail, I will not pass the examination no matter how good I am.Then my ten years of studying hard in the cold window are all in vain, mother! "

Seeing her son like this, Shi's mother felt distressed, and quickly comforted her: "Son, don't be afraid, mother has asked Xiaocui to find your uncle, if he doesn't help you, I won't recognize him as a brother. Be good, don't be afraid, Mom won't let you go to jail! You wait here at ease, don't come out, you know?"

Shi Mao nodded and agreed.

After Shi's mother came out of Shi Maocai's room, she straightened her clothes and went directly to the front yard.

Even if her elder brother who is a prefect sends someone over, it will take some time. Before that, she will never let the government officials take her son away.

So when Shi's mother arrived in the front yard, she sat down in the yard and started crying, saying that the yamen servants had wronged his son, and it was a miserable cry.

Father Shi was a little embarrassed when he saw his wife's aggressive behavior. He always regarded himself as a decent person, so he could only say from the side: "Ma'am, don't sit on the ground, get up first and then talk."

However, Shi's mother ignored him at all, and still sat on the ground crying, crying heartbroken, as if someone had died in the family.

Father Shi saw that he couldn't stop her, so fortunately he didn't, so he had to apologize to the people in the yamen.

There are two people here, one sings the red face and the other sings the bad face, the government servants even drank three cups of tea in the front yard but failed to take Shi Maocai away.

The leading yamen servant saw that it was getting late, and his attitude was not as soft as it was at the beginning. If the delay continued, he would not be able to get anyone today, and he would not be able to deal with the adults.

He said: "The person surnamed Shi has already worked hard for three sticks of incense. If you don't call him out again, we will have to force our way in."

When Shi Mu heard this, she immediately stood up and stood in front of them, and said in a sharp voice: "I don't think any of you dare! I'm also Master Tongzhi's younger sister after all, if something happens, can you bear it?"

Father Shi also whispered beside him: "My lord, why don't you forget about today's matter first, the dog is the nephew of Master Tongzhi, I will ask Master Tongzhi to go to the government office to explain clearly to you in person, you see how?"

As he spoke, he took the banknotes that the servants had brought, and gave one to each of the yamen servants present.

The denomination of the bank note is not small, one piece is 100 taels.There are a total of five or six yamen servants, adding up to five or six hundred taels of silver.For the sake of his son, he gave it without blinking.

The leading yamen servant was a little hesitant when he heard about the relationship between Master Tongzhi. Tongzhi is equivalent to a subordinate of Zhizhou, and the master of Fuya is also a subordinate of Zhizhou. It is really not easy to offend them.

Why not go back today and report this matter to the lord in the yamen, and put all the responsibility on this lord Tongzhi. They can each get 100 taels of silver bills, so why not do it?

So these yamen servants took the money and went back.The yamen said that it was getting late today, and the trial will be held another day.

Shifu.

After the servants left, Father Shi turned around and went to Shi Maocai's room.

He scolded Shi Maocai inside and out, and when he got angry, he grabbed a book at hand and threw it on it, cursing as he threw it: "Why did I give birth to such an unfilial son like you? You are already a scholar , You still do such a stupid thing, you have read the sage books for more than ten years into the dog's stomach?"

After saying a few words, he threw a book in Shi Maocai's face, and Shi's mother, who came in behind, saw her son's aggrieved appearance, her heart ached.

She stood in front of Shi Maocai to protect him, and said, "Master, what are you doing? She is your own son!"

Father Shi said angrily: "If he wasn't my own son, I would have broken his leg a long time ago!"

"My lord, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. We must quickly find a way to solve this matter. If our son goes to jail because of this matter, then this life will be ruined!"

Father Shi sighed, he also knew the reason.He sat down and sighed, and said: "Hurry up and back up the generous gift, and go to your brother's house with me to see if there is any way to solve this matter."

"Okay sir, I'm going to prepare now."

When he was going out, Father Shi turned his head and gave Shi Maocai a gouged look. He used to be proud of his son, but he didn't expect to cause such a big trouble today.

Shi's mother's brother, Shi Ke, is what he calls Master Tongzhi.Before sending Xiaocui to Shi Ke's mansion, but Shi Ke was not at home, so Xiaocui was in vain.

Shi Ke used to be considered a poor student. His parents had no skills, and they could continue to study only by the dowry gift Shi's mother got when they married.

After passing the exam, he was released as an official, and climbed all the way to the position of Tongzhi in Fucheng, thanks to the promotion of Fu Yuan, the former governor of Linzhou.

Later, Fu Yuan was transferred to the capital, and he left in a hurry. He thought that the seat of magistrate was vacant, and the higher-ups would not be able to fill it up for a while.Maybe he will be temporarily acting as magistrate.

Unexpectedly, a new Zhizhou was parachuted from above, that is Cui Chang.

Cui Chang hadn't been in Linzhou for a short time, so sometimes when he went out to inspect the on-duty status of officials in various counties, he was usually asked to accompany him.

Today, it happened that Cui Chang went to a county under the jurisdiction of Linzhou to inspect the achievements of the local officials, so he followed suit.

Shi's father and Shi's mother waited at Shi Ke's mansion until dark before they came back.

Shi Ke followed Cui Chang a lot today, went to several households to ask the local county magistrate how he was doing, and was very tired when he returned home.

However, he had to listen to what his sister and brother-in-law said. These two people were still waiting for him in the middle of the night, so there must be something important.

He was right in guessing, it was of great importance to the future of Shi Maocai's nephew.

After listening to Shi's father and Shi's mother, he didn't even get angry. He just flicked his sleeve and knocked the cup on the side table to the ground.

With a bang, the cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.Shi's father and Shi's mother looked at each other, not sure what the brother was planning.

Shi Ke's face was full of anger, and he said: "The evidence of the crime is conclusive, how do you want me to catch people? Sister, how many times have I told you, don't always spoil him! He has always relied on his own talent and reputation Gao, he doesn't put other people in his eyes at all. It's good now, he has more means than him, and he is doing it on his own! No one can help him. "

Shi's mother couldn't stand hearing her brother's refusal so cruelly and flatly. Shi Ke was the only hope she had. If even her own brother couldn't save her son, there was really nothing she could do.

Shi's mother didn't care about etiquette, she stepped forward and pulled Shi Ke and cried, saying: "Brother, I'm just such a son, please, please save him! I will definitely discipline him more strictly in the future. And after this incident, Mao Mao has realized his mistake, and will definitely not make it again in the future."

Seeing his sister crying with pear blossoms and rain, Shi Ke couldn't help but soften his heart, and said, "Forget it, I'll go to the yamen tomorrow. Mr. Zhao in the yamen is on the same level as me, and we have worked together for several years. He will give me some advice in the future. Kind of thin."

Shi's mother was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Thank you brother, I will trouble you tomorrow."

Father Shi also said: "This son who is not up to date, when I go back and teach him a lesson, I will definitely not let him trouble you again in the future."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Xianggong is right. It's not too early, brother, you should rest early, and we will go back first. Here is a 1000 taels of silver note. Brother, you may need it when you go to the Yamen tomorrow."

Shi Ke didn't refuse, everything would be easier if he had money.

After Shi's father and Shi's mother came out of Shi Ke's mansion, they returned home. When they got home, Shi's father inevitably taught Shi Maocai a lesson.

This time, the incident caused by his son not only caused him to lose his fortune, but also caused him to humbly beg others, even if this person was his brother-in-law.

Early the next morning, Shi Ke went to the Yamen.He stayed inside for over an hour before coming out.

I don't know what the two of them talked about, but when Shi Maocai's punishment was announced two days later, Jiang Ziyan knew that there was no one in the yamen to arrest Shi Maocai.

But I don't know how to define this matter as a crime of inciting others to slander Shi Maocai.

The meaning of this is completely different. If it is just slander, it is equivalent to spreading rumors.The yamen couldn't give him a sentence, so he just gave him a symbolic [-]-big board and paid some money, so that the matter was brought to light.

When Zhang Qiu learned of the government's handling of Shi Maocai in the paper workshop, he was indignant. He said: "Whether the master of the government office is lame or deaf? The mastermind behind the scenes has been found out to be Shi Maocai. Now take Just pay some money and that's it? Pooh, I thought he was the old man of Qingtian before, but now it seems that's nothing more than that!"

Jiang Ziyan was also present when Zhang Qiu said this, and he guessed that it was probably because of Shi Ke's relationship that Mr. Fuya lightened Shi Maocai's punishment.

Forget it, even if the government doesn't pursue this matter much, I'm afraid the people who made plain paper with him will not let him go.

As the old saying goes, if you do many unrighteous actions, you will kill yourself, and the evil fruits you plant will eventually be eaten.

……

Because Zhao Wu had previously accused them of poisonous raw materials, the paper mill was closed for two days.

Now that the truth has been found out, the prestige of the paper mill is even higher. Everyone says that the owner of this paper mill is open and frank, and the treatment is also good. Not only does it include food and housing, but the monthly salary is higher than other places.

More and more people came to the paper mill to find jobs, and Jiang Ziyan took this opportunity to raise the threshold for recruitment.He had learned the lesson from last time. It was precisely because the paper mill was in urgent need of employing people that the second batch of workers recruited was not carefully checked, which led to the emergence of a traitor like Zhao Wu who was easy to buy.

Moreover, Jiang Ziyan also proposed a new employee benefit, that is, if the monthly performance ranks first for half a year in a row, then he can apply for a double dormitory specially prepared for employees by the paper workshop.

Jiang Ziyan also suddenly had this idea. He knew before that many of these people in the west of the city were refugees who had fled from other places.In this way, I can take my wife over to live with me in the future, and save the money to buy and rent a house.

Although the entire environment in the west of the city is dilapidated, the housing prices here are not cheap at all.

The house rented by Li Kang and Rou Niang, who lived in the alley next to them, cost [-] Wen a month in rent, equivalent to half of Li Kang's monthly income.

After Jiang Ziyan raised the recruitment threshold, some people were quite dissatisfied.Because they have tasted the benefits of working here, they all want to introduce their relatives to come here.

However, Jiang Ziyan has now raised the threshold, and even those relatives who could get in can't get in.

However, the double dormitory launched by Jiang Ziyan is actually a family dormitory in disguise, which makes the workers in the paper mill very excited.

If you can apply for a dormitory like this and take your wife and children to live together, you can have a family reunion and save on rent, which is the best of both worlds.

As a result, these people became more motivated, and they worked hard to earn the number one monthly performance.

Li Kang is the most excited among these people. He and Rou Niang are not favored by others. He has to work here for several days during the day. Rou Niang is always at home alone and is always ridiculed by several neighbors. , made him very distressed.

If he can apply for a double dormitory, he can take Rou Niang to live with him.The current house can be rented out, which can save a lot of money every month.

After saving enough money, he can buy a small courtyard, which is the real home for him and Rou Niang.For him, since he came to Jiangji Paper Mill, his life has become more and more exciting.

The double dormitory that Jiang Ziyan promised everyone was not in the big yard of the paper mill, but the house next door to the paper mill.

When he bought it, he bought the big yard of the paper mill and even the small yard next to it.There is a wall in the middle, and a door has been opened according to his request. Through this door, the paper mill and the adjacent yard can be entered and exited.

The yard next to it was much smaller than the paper mill. Jiang Ziyan had already thought about transforming this yard into the family yard of the paper mill.

Although the area is small, it can be made into a two-story house with an attic, so that there will be a lot more rooms.

In order for the workers to devote themselves to working for the papermaking factory, not only should they be given a suitable monthly salary, but they should also be helped to solve the problems of food and housing, and even family housing, so that they can have a greater sense of belonging.If there is such a thing as Zhao Wu, I believe the other party will not be able to shake them.

After this incident, the paper mill was not affected at all, but developed more prosperously.

Some are sweet and some are bitter.In stark contrast to Jiangji Paper Mill, it must be Wei Qiang's Paper Mill.

Two days ago, some people began to come to Boguxuan to return the goods one after another, saying that the plain paper they bought was different from the one bought in Xiangmozhai.

Said that their products were pirated and fake products, and asked Boguxuan to lose money.

Boss Qiu of Boguxuan has been kept in the dark.Shi Maocai had already discovered that there was a problem with this paper, and even Wei Qiang had known about it a few days earlier, only he was still happily dreaming of getting rich.

In the beginning, there were only a few sporadic door-to-door inquiries, saying that there was something wrong with the paper they sold.He felt that the other party was an empty-handed white wolf, deliberately blackmailing the plain paper in the store.So he sent them all out.

But more and more people couldn't bear to come to the door to return the goods. At this time, Boss Qiu finally realized that something was wrong.

He went to question Wei □□ and forced him to tell the truth, and even sold Shi Maocai who advised him behind the scenes.A man is the wind.I hope he can go to Shi Mao to settle the account.

However, Boss Qiu is such a shrewd person, he doesn't care about whether he is talented or not.His plain paper was supplied to him by Wei Qiang, and now that something happened, he naturally wanted to settle the score with Wei Qiang.

When Wei Qiang learned that Shi Maocai was approached by the government, he quickly hid. He knew that the matter had been exposed, and Shi Maocai could not protect himself.

But shopkeeper Qiu is pressing so hard here, Wei Qiang really has no choice but to pay so much money, so he has to mortgage one of the workshops in the paper mill to him.

This time, Wei Qiang was stealing chickens but not losing rice. Not only did he fail to reap the benefits, but he also lost a workshop.In the final analysis, all of these were caused by Shi Maocai.

The more Wei Qiang thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his ambition at all.He felt that Shi Maocai was all to blame for all of this. If he hadn't come to the door to instigate him to do these things, how could he be in such a state of despair?

So Wei Qiang began to run to Shi's mansion every three days, but the people in Shi's mansion would not open the door for him, so he stood outside the door and yelled.For the sake of her son's reputation, Shi's mother had no choice but to invite him into the mansion.

Wei Qiang took this opportunity to blackmail Shi Fu, and Shi Maocai, he didn't even dare to leave the door, for fear of being blocked by Wei Qiang, who would publicize all the scandalous things that the two of them conspired to do.

Shi's mother spent a lot of effort, taking money and threatening Shi Ke's reputation, which made Wei Qiang calm down.

And Shi Maocai was sent to Bailu Academy overnight by Shi's mother in the evening a few days later.

He originally took a month's leave when he came back from the academy this time, but before the end of the month, he went back in despair.

After this incident, his temper became more and more weird, and he often scolded the people around him at every turn.The two Zhao Ze who were with him before are far away from him now.

Boguxuan's plain paper was fake, and the news quickly spread throughout the city.

Before selling plain paper, Boguxuan's business was pretty good, but now after this incident, Boguxuan's reputation has plummeted.

Shopkeeper Qiu frowned over this matter.This shop is not opened by him, he is just the shopkeeper of this shop.

Originally, being able to sell plain paper made him face off in front of other storekeepers of his boss.But now it has turned into this situation, his previous complacency seems to have become a joke.

Because of this, he was severely reprimanded by his boss.If Wei Qiang hadn't bought a paper-making workshop as compensation, he might not be the shopkeeper of Boguxuan now.

Without Boguxuan as a competitor, Cheng Jin's Xiangmozhai business is even better.

He followed Jiang Ziyan's suggestion to close the store before, but now that he reopened for business, the people who came to buy plain paper on the first day broke through the threshold.

All the goods he had stockpiled in the warehouse were sold out on the first day.

Cheng Jin's face was full of joy, and he once again admired the insight of Jiang Ziyan, a young man. He really found the right partner!

Because Jiangji Paper Factory has expanded the scale of workers, there are now a lot of plain paper produced every day, and the supply is no longer in short supply.

Cheng Jin then changed the sales rules. Instead of selling every seven days, the inventory is large and can be bought every day.

Even so, the popularity of plain paper is still terrifyingly high.

Even if they sell it every day, they can sell a lot every time, which allows Cheng Jin to make a lot of money even on the premise of giving Jiang Ziyan seven or eight percent of the profit.

The author has something to say:
