husband in another world

"My lord, you see that Zhou Jing is so arrogant that he doesn't give you any face. If he continues to be arrogant, won't he even look down on you?" After everyone dispersed, only Zhu Jianye relied on his status. stayed.

The county magistrate snorted coldly, and reprimanded: "Don't think Zhu Jianye doesn't know your little thoughts. I'm jealous because Zhou Jing's business is getting bigger and bigger! I haven't settled with you for today's matter. Who will pick it first? Wake up, you know it yourself. In order to save your face, I have already suppressed him, so you should stop this official and don't hold back this official. It is not easy for this official to endure so long for today's reputation. Destroyed. If the road construction is not directly related to my promotion path, I will not force you to do it. When this is done, I will be promoted immediately with a memorial. At that time, your benefits Inevitably, Zhou Jing didn't dare to provoke him anymore, and there was no need to engage in this righteous struggle."

"Can……"

The magistrate interrupted him impatiently, "Okay, there's nothing to worry about, just step back!"

"Yes." Zhu Jianye agreed with his mouth, but he had a sinister plan in his heart.

"Still building the road?" Shen Mo said angrily: "Our family has already paid for the repair of one, so it shouldn't be our turn?"

Zhou Jing said coldly: "Could it be that this matter does not mean to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys, but to use our house as a rafter to beat those old oily people with small thoughts. But our family's foundation is still young, so it became the one that was slaughtered." It's just chicken."

"Then what should we do? Is it possible to build another road according to the wishes of the county magistrate?"

"The road must be repaired, but it's hard to say when it will be repaired. There are so many people in the hall today, I decided to be the last, and that will be the last. This will not change easily. But by then, it is likely that two Three years later."

Shen Mo said unwillingly: "But it's hard to get over it!"

Zhou Jing suddenly smiled: "Little Mo, I will tell you one more piece of good news, and you will not be unwilling. This road construction will not be in vain. I plan to build it far away, and it is best to build it in poor areas. "

"Why?" Shen Mo didn't quite understand, how would it benefit his family if he cultivated in a poor area?

"We can do demolition."

"Demolition? What do you mean?"

"Demolition means that we buy the poor people's houses with money, and then rebuild them again. We can join a few prestigious and reputable old men in the town to form a joint venture to develop all the poor people's areas on East Street and build them into commercial buildings. A street. The shops on the street don’t care about what they do. It’s best to have a hundred flowers blooming, so that the ladies and ladies who come out to shop can sell whatever they buy after walking around this street. Small stalls can be placed in the middle of the street , Selling candy, clay figurines, eating toys, they are all small things, not expensive."

Shen Mo's eyes lit up, his eyes sparkled, "Wouldn't that mean building another Huichun Street, as long as it can be built, our cheap house can be sold for ten times the price!"

Zhou Jing nodded, "Yes, once it's built, renting the house will be enough to cover the cost. When the benefits are tasted, few masters will be willing to sell the shop in their hands."

"Then why don't we really send it out, the whole street is ours!" Shen Mo's face glowed with excitement, then he frowned after being happy for a moment and said: "Brother Jing, how can we guarantee that the whole street will be as good as it is after the completion?" We must be able to find a merchant, and if no one is willing to rent, then we are afraid that we will lose everything?"

"There will definitely be renters, and not only will there be, but there will also be queues to compete for rent." Zhou Jing said confidently: "First of all, in terms of cooperation, we must all be local reputable leaders of various industries. They can set an example. Some of the following Small households who don't know the truth look at where they choose to open a shop, and they will subconsciously think that it is a good place to open. Then there is a heavy preferential policy. The rent of other shops is several hundred taels a year. We can halve the rent, not only You can also start a trial operation after halving, and if you feel that the benefits are not good for three months, you will pack up and leave without paying any rent.”

"Ah? What if it's really hard to leave?"

"Come, naturally we won't let them go. We provide undecorated shops. If we want to operate, we must decorate, and we have to sign the contract in advance. If we want to halve the rent, we must not decorate. Saving. Exquisite decoration is also not cheap, no one will think it is a waste of time, and I am afraid that no one will easily pat their ass and leave before they earn back their capital. And it is just these few months of work. I believe that the publicity of our commercial street is absolutely Can do it."

"Before, it was a policy to attract merchants, and then it was to attract customers. In terms of attracting customers, transportation can make a big fuss. For example, we rent more vehicles and stay at the intersection. As long as they buy something in the commercial street Free rides. Besides, there are no shops on the commercial street, as long as you buy enough things, you can draw a lottery. The prizes are divided according to the value, and they are all sold in our commercial street shops. Many customers, after waiting for a long time and becoming famous, they will find the convenience of the commercial street. For example, if they want to buy our nightdress and soap, they need to go to two places now, but once the commercial street is built, only You can buy them wherever you go, saving you a lot of travel.”

Shen Mo has already understood the commercial value of Zhou Jing's commercial street, and this street will definitely be successful.

When Zhou Jing got an idea, he started to make plans, and at the same time, he had to contact some industry leaders in private, but he couldn't make it through some specific details, so as not to be leaked and others to follow suit.

When Zhou Jing was preparing for the commercial street, several new soaps and face creams were launched in the Zhou family rouge gouache shop. Only for men.In terms of aroma, I chose sandalwood tea and mint.

The men of the imperial dynasty who are not well-groomed are not allowed to be officials, and they have reached an unprecedented level of emphasis on appearance.These three types of soap launched by the Zhou family were sold under the banner of men only, and they were sold out almost as soon as they were launched.Those gentlemen who secretly used their wives and husbands can finally throw away the things used by women's twins and use them openly.

These three kinds of soaps and face creams bring profits to the shop that are not inferior to the rouge powder for women, and some are even ridiculously expensive, and the masters feel more comfortable after using them.

Just as the business in the Zhou family's rouge and gouache shop was booming, someone died in Zhou Jingbuzhuang.

"Those peasants who came to sell cloth in the shop brought homespun cloth, but what they wanted was the price of silk and satin. Naturally, the villain couldn't agree, so one of them bumped his head to death in the cloth shop without saying a word. The men who came with him refused to let go, and even smashed the cloth village, and even carried the body to the county government office. The villain was afraid that the boss would be passed on by the county magistrate, and he was not prepared, so he hurried over to report the letter. "

Zhou Jing's face sank like water, and Shen Mo was extremely anxious.

"Boss, it's not that the villain has an accident and shirks responsibility, but this... this fact is strange. No one would be killed because of an unreasonable price. This is clearly premeditated, and he is determined to blackmail us! "

Zhou Jing said coldly: "I understand, most of this matter is aimed at the Zhou family, you don't have to worry, make arrangements for the cloth shop first, and deal with the rest when I come back."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a commotion in the yard.

"Several officials, how is this going? If you have anything to do, please let me go and report first. Our master and your catcher Yang are relatives, and we both have some face. Even the county magistrate, who was also received by the county magistrate a few days ago Awarded. Ah!"

A total of three officials came, and they didn't give Jiang Wei a chance to speak at all. They smashed open the door and rushed in ferociously. Get up with your chest in your hands.

The guards in the mansion gathered quickly after hearing the sound, but the people who came were officials, and they didn't dare to act rashly.They could only surround Zhou Jing one by one, and firmly protect Zhou Jing and Shen Mo.The eyes under Wei Yuanshan's half mask were as cold and ruthless as his silver mask, flashing intense hatred.

"Zhou Jing, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that you still want to fight with me?"

"Brother Jing." Shen Mo's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he stretched out to hold Zhou Jing's hand, the palm of which was icy cold.

Zhou Jing gently shook his hand back, but this time he couldn't completely warm the man's hand before leaving.

He closed his eyes, turned his head and said to Shen Mo, "Wait for me to come back!" After he finished speaking, he realized that these words seemed unlucky, and how many people never came back just because they said these words.

It could be seen that Shen Mo was trembling, but he still nodded his head firmly. "Brother Jing, didn't you say to eat wontons at night? Sister Ji and I just made them at home and cooked them when you came back."

"Okay." After Zhou Jing finished speaking, he brushed Shen Mo's hand away cruelly, stepping down the bid step by step.He ordered the inspector to say: "Get out of the way."

Then he said to the officials: "The villain dare not fight with the adults, so I will follow the adults."

Those people came over quickly, and Zhou Jing grabbed them immediately, and quickly put on handcuffs.

Jiang Wei ran a few steps forward clutching his aching chest, and tremblingly took out some broken silver from his bosom.

"Several officials, in view of the fact that my lord has no power to restrain a chicken and is just a businessman, can you see if the handcuffs can be removed."

The three of them didn't accept the money Jiang Wei handed over, but pushed him away and pushed him to the ground again.

"roll!"

This time Jiang Wei struggled a few times but failed to get up, and a few good men quickly ran to help him.

"That's Master Zhou!"

"It's true, the one who has opened a lot of shops in the town is making money like running water. You don't know that a nightgown and a box of dough cream in his family have been chewed by your family for several years, and you have to live The days of eating well and drinking well, otherwise, can be spent forever."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a black heart and black liver. The business is so treacherous. No wonder you committed a crime. You deserve it. God won't allow it!"

Those who spoke were all ordinary people in Liu Town, and they didn't even know who Zhou Jing was and who Zhou Jing was before that.Knowing is just knowing that he is the owner of several shops, nothing more.But now that something happened to Zhou Jing, these people have the mentality of watching the excitement, and speculate on others with the greatest malice, but they just can't tolerate how anyone in this world can live so well, how can they wear brocade clothes when they don't have enough to eat and wear warm clothes? Yushi, damn it.

These people not only did not shy away from speaking, but they yelled loudly as if they were afraid that Zhou Jing would not hear them. Zhou Jing turned his head to look, and his cold eyes scanned everyone present, without any warmth.In an instant, several people were frightened into silence, but at the same time, he also saw a familiar face in the crowd.

The gold hairpin walks around, dressed in brocade and satin, with heavy makeup, followed by a few slaves in gray clothes, she is not afraid of Zhou Jing's cold eyes, but reveals a bright smile instead.

It was Li Dong's cousin, Sun Jiao, and next to her stood Zhang Ju from Wangjia Village, also wearing gold and silver.

Zhou Jing turned his head, his thoughts moved slightly.

There are fools who follow what they say, and wise men who know how to think. These unbelievers are precisely those who look down on scholars who are full of money and think of themselves as sensible and wise.Among them is Cheng Ping, who planned to go to Zhou Yu's study to read, but he stopped to take a look at random when passing by, but he didn't want to take a look, and saw an 'acquaintance'.Zhou Jing?The name Cheng Ping is no stranger, because it is because of this person that Cheng Ping was able to read many unique books for free in Zhou Yu's study, improve a lot of knowledge, and increase his confidence in what will happen in the next year.

Such a merchant, who was willing to spread knowledge for the dynasty and give up his own interests, Cheng Ping subconsciously did not believe that he would do evil things, so he couldn't help but followed him to the county government.

Zhou Jing was pushed all the way into the county government office, and the door of the county government office was shut heavily.Cheng Ping, who was in the crowd, frowned, and did not open the trial. What happened to Zhou Jing this week?

As soon as Zhou Jing entered the yamen, Zhou Jing was pinched and knelt on the ground, and the handcuffs were not removed for him. The county magistrate's gavel was slapped hard, and the kneeling people in the hall were shocked.

Although the county magistrate knew Zhou Jing well, he asked in a routine way: "Who is kneeling in the hall?"

Zhou Jing kowtowed his head respectfully, knelt down and replied: "Returning to the adults, the villain Zhou Jing, a native of Wangjia Village, met the shopkeeper of the cloth village."

"Zhou Jing, are you convicted?"

"The villain really doesn't know, please show me."

"Li Chuan and Zhao Xin who are kneeling in the hall, Zhou Jing said he didn't know, so you guys repeat what you told me."

"Yes, my lord." Li Chuan knelt on the ground and pointed at Zhou Jing and said angrily, "The villain sued this profiteer for the sake of wealth and unkindness, killing his fellow villain!"

The magistrate asked again: "Zhou Jing, do you admit Li Chuan's lawsuit?"

Zhou Jingdao: "The villain doesn't admit it, and the villain doesn't know why Li Chuan sued the villain, and why did he sue the villain for money and death?"

"In that case, Li Chuan, please speak carefully."

Li Chuan wiped his tears and said: "My lord, the villain's name is Li Chuan, the one kneeling beside him is Zhao Xin, and the dead Wang Hong are all from Shenjia Village, they are from the same town. I have been out selling cloth every year. I used to sell Wanli cloth shop to Mr. Zhu. Later, I was introduced to meet cloth shop, but I didn’t think that I would fall into the fire pit and couldn’t get out. , but in fact they are greedy and greedy people who are greedy for money."

"The villain, Zhao Xin and the dead Wang Hong got a few high-quality brocades and went to meet the cloth shop together. Who would have thought that the shopkeeper saw the villain and other rough clothes and rags, and knew that they were powerless people. He bullied the villain and insisted on accepting the brocade from the villain at the price of coarse cloth. When the villain refused, he robbed it. But the brother of the villain pointed at the cloth and exchanged it for money to buy some for the old man, his wife and children. rations, so how can I be willing, the shopkeeper pushed Wang Hong while struggling, and Wang Hong slammed his head on the doorpost and died on the spot. But the shopkeeper didn't know how to repent afterwards, and kept claiming that Zhou Jing asked him to do this, and said Zhou Jing There is plenty of money, not bad for the lives of the villains, even if they are all killed, it doesn't matter!"

"Bold Zhou Jing, did you instruct your shopkeeper to bully the weak with guns and bully others?"

"Responding to your lord's words, no. If your lord doesn't believe me, you can call the shopkeeper to confront him."

"Bring the shopkeeper here."

Shopkeeper Zhao was also handcuffed, knelt on the ground shaking like an egg, and denied all the allegations.

"The villain didn't. They didn't push them. They took the homespun cloth and insisted on letting the villain accept it at the price of silk. The villain refused, so one of the men bumped into the doorpost. The villain definitely never pushed him!"

"My lord, he is talking nonsense. If he is so unwilling, he will not be willing. The villain will just go to the next house. Why do you want to kill his house. There are old and young in this dead Wang Hong. How could he be willing to die? He died at home. What about my wife and children?"

The county magistrate said: "There is no need to quarrel in the courtroom. Since the two hold their own opinions, can both sides have evidence to prove that they are right?"

Li Chuan immediately kowtowed and said: "The villain has evidence, so shopkeeper Zhao still panicked after killing someone, and the villain took advantage of the chaos to snatch a few pieces of silk and satin back, just to testify in court today."

The county magistrate said: "Submit it."

What was presented was indeed a few silks and satins with bright colors and novel patterns, which were really top grade.

"What do you say now?"

Shopkeeper Zhang kowtowed in panic and said: "Master County, what the villain saw was definitely not these few pieces of cloth, they must have changed the cloth!"

"Li Chuan, he said he changed the fabric. It's not impossible. After all, the fabric was presented by you, so there is a chance to change it. So do you have any other evidence?"

"Yes." Li Chuan said quickly, "If the clerk in his shop had a conscience, he wouldn't sit idly by watching them seek wealth and murder!"

"It is said that I met the buddy of the cloth shop in the hall."

The shop assistant knelt on the ground and shook his head in denial, "My lord, shopkeeper Zhao never pushed them, they bumped into them themselves?"

"You, do you still have a conscience? You speak according to your own conscience. We are all powerless villains who live just to beg for a living. How could we rush to die!" Li Chuan pointed at the assistant and said bitterly. : "Think about the wives, mothers and children in your family, think about your parents, you are not afraid that Wang Hong will turn into a ghost, and I will go to you in the middle of the night to ask for an explanation!"

The guy seemed to be frightened, kneeling on the ground like a heap of ashes, shaking like a quail.

"My lord, my lord, the villain told a lie. That person was promoted by shopkeeper Zhao, and the low-priced income was also ordered by Zhou Jing. Villain, villain can't lie anymore. This is acting as a pawn for a tiger. The villain's conscience is hard to rest. I'm afraid that person won't get justice and will turn into a ghost and come looking for the villain!" The man actually retracted his confession on the spot.

The county magistrate was furious, and he slapped the gavel hard, "Zhou Jing, Zhao Sheng, you two still have to argue."

Zhang Sheng knocked his head until it was bloody, and cried, "The villain is wronged!"

Zhou Jing already understood at this time that the opponent was fully prepared and only wanted to win with one blow, so that he would have no strength to turn around.

Kneeling on the ground, he heard himself say a word: "The villain is wronged! Master Wanwang will investigate clearly!"

"Okay, there are all the witnesses and material evidence, and you dare to quibble, come and beat me, beat me hard!"

The boards fell on his body one after another, and he exerted all his strength every time. After a while, his skin was ripped apart and his flesh was dripping with blood. Zhou Jing was sweating profusely from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and refused to gnaw.

"My lord, Zhao Sheng fainted."

The magistrate waved his hand to signal to stop, "Zhou Jing, you can plead guilty!"

"No, the villain has been wronged! I beg your lord to investigate clearly!" Every time he said a word, he seemed to use all his strength, but Zhou Jing still persisted.

At this time, the magistrate of Chang County was stunned, stunned for a while, the magistrate of the county said: "The prisoner has fainted, he will be put into prison today, and will be tried again at another day."

"Fu Lang, Fu Lang is not well, the master was beaten twenty boards and put in prison!"
