Chapter 415 Merchants of Hu County Being Exploited
Slap! Slap!
He had barely finished speaking when he received a slap on the head.
The two, in pain, clutched their heads and squatted on the ground...
"Which king dares to hit me?"
Choi Shin-ki suddenly stood up.
*Smack*
Another slap sent him crashing back to the ground.
"Waaah..."
This familiar feeling can't be wrong.
"Big pot, don't hit me!"
Choi Shin-ki covered his head and shouted without looking up.
"What exactly happened?" Wei Shuyu asked the shopkeeper.
"Dr. Wei, you must stand up for us!"
The shopkeeper, as if finally able to release his pent-up emotions, began to pour out his grievances: "Ever since you were dismissed from office, new customers have been coming to cause trouble for no reason every day, and then..."
The shopkeeper glanced timidly at Choi Sin-ki: "Then, Chief Clerk Choi came to our door."
Wei Shuyu immediately understood.
Someone is smearing Choi Shin-ki and trying to make him make a mistake.
"You two come with me."
Wei Shuyu left after saying a few words.
The two of them exchanged a glance and immediately followed along, scurrying off.
"Tell me, why did you take money from people?"
Arriving at a corner, Wei Shuyu held the fine regulations in his hand.
"Big brother, you have no idea..."
Choi Shin-ki glanced furtively into the distance: "There's a rumor going around that whoever generates the most revenue for the court will become the head of the Ministry of Commerce."
"You believed that?" Wei Shuyu rolled his eyes.
"yes."
Choi Shin-ki nodded repeatedly.
Snap snap snap...
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and angrily slapped it ten times in a row.
"Are you stupid?"
"I didn't even realize I was being used."
"If this gets back to the imperial court, you'll lose not only your position as the head of the Ministry of Commerce, but your life too!"
Wei Shuyu scolded him, exasperated.
"No way..."
Choi Shin-ki covered his head: "I've managed to generate revenue for the court."
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu was full of questions again.
"Revenue generation, revenue generation, what a load of rubbish!"
"If you really want to earn more money to become an official, you can just send money directly to His Majesty. Why go through all this trouble?"
Holy crap.
That makes perfect sense.
I worked hard to collect fines for more than half a month, but it wasn't even as much as the dividends from Wenyunge.
"And your fine regulations."
Wei Shuyu flicked the fine notice in his hand: "Which bastard gave it to you?"
"Rewards are given for reporting wrongdoing, and merchants offer rewards."
"Confessing is considered lenient, but you are still guilty."
"Resistance will be met with severe punishment, and the fine will be doubled."
"Refusing to admit your mistake, I hereby bestow upon you a memorial tablet."
"Spitting, punishment."
"Fighting, punishment."
"Littering will result in a fine."
"Public urination and defecation will be punished."
"Give me even one more glare, and you'll be punished."
“To speak ill of Fang Yi'ai is punishable.”
"Insulting the Imperial Academy army is punishable."
Wei Shuyu was speechless at these fine regulations.
I don't know who wrote the first few points, but the last few points were definitely added by those two themselves!
“Big pot, this is from the remains,” Choi Shin-ki replied.
Wei Shuyu looked at Fang Yi'ai...
"I don't know."
Fang Yi'ai scratched his head: "That day I was walking on the road when a book fell from the sky, and that's this one."
"So you used it?"
Wei Shuyu's lips twitched, and he didn't know what to say.
"I think what's written above makes a lot of sense."
Fang Yi'ai blinked: "Right, Shenji?"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Choi Shin-ki nodded repeatedly.
But upon seeing Wei Shuyu's sharp gaze, his voice grew even softer.
"..."
This is such a unique thought process.
Dealing with either of you requires no brainpower; anyone who does is an idiot.
"Don't do anything like forced buying and selling in the future." Wei Shuyu turned and left.
"Big brother, we learned from you..." Choi Shin-ki muttered from behind.
Wei Shuyu paused in his steps.
Snap snap snap...
Here comes another ten-shot sequence.
"Shenji, please accept my condolences."
Fang Yi'ai helped Cui Shenji up.
Wei Shuyu continued his inspection, with the two men following timidly behind.
As soon as Wei Shuyu turned around, he immediately shrank back.
Sure enough, after walking for a short while, they saw people arguing again ahead...
"Didn't we already give you the money?"
A stall owner was clutching his money jar tightly.
"Give me a damn thing."
A constable pointed to the debris on the ground: "How many times have I told you to keep things clean and tidy? Look at this!"
"Well... I'll clean it up once I'm done with this busy period," the stall owner replied weakly.
"You have already affected the public morals of Hu County. According to regulations, you will be fined two coins!"
"I've already been fined today!" the stall owner replied unwillingly.
"Does being punished mean you don't need to be punished again?"
The constable sternly rebuked, "According to you... if a prisoner commits another crime after serving their sentence, they won't have to go back to jail?"
Looking at the menacing constables, the stall owner took a step back in fear: "This is completely unreasonable."
"You bastard."
The constable stepped forward and threatened, "If you keep dawdling, believe me, I'll call the enforcement team."
far away.
Upon hearing this, Wei Shuyu glanced at Cui Shenji.
Choi Shin-ki finally showed some intelligence...
"Big pot, you guessed right."
"The law enforcement team he was talking about is me!"
Bang.
Wei Shuyu kicked out.
Choi Shin-ki was clutching his butt and almost cried.
I did it to maintain peace in Hu County!
"come over!"
Wei Shuyu shouted sternly.
“You can’t hit me,” Choi Shin-ki replied stubbornly.
"No fighting!"
"oh oh."
After Choi Shin-ki got closer...
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head with his other hand.
Waaah...
The big pot doesn't talk about martial ethics.
"Go, give those guys a beating," Wei Shuyu said, pointing at the yamen runners.
"Leave it to me, don't worry!"
Choi Shin-ki called out, "Remains, get to work."
A group of people stepped forward with murderous intent.
The yamen runner who was reprimanding the stall owner burst into laughter upon seeing this.
He quickly went to greet Choi Shin-ki.
"Minister Cui, you've come at the right time, this stall owner..."
Bang.
Before he could finish speaking, Choi Shin-ki threw a brick at him.
"Cui my ass! Do you think the Godbase boss will know about this?"
Ping-ping-pong-pong.
After a brutal beating, the constable collapsed to the ground.
Wei Shuyu stepped forward and looked down at him: "Tell Wang Gui to wait at the city gate. If you don't see him today, you'll bear the consequences!"
After saying that, Wei Shuyu turned and left.
What happened next made Wei Shuyu even more furious.
The merchant exhausted his savings to buy a shop in Hu County, but was forced to pay taxes because of the good business.
If the merchants refuse, their shops will be sealed off and their businesses confiscated!
"stop."
Wei Shuyu stepped forward with a gloomy face.
"Who do you think you are, daring to interfere in my affairs?" The official looked down at Wei Shuyu.
"Break all their legs!" Wei Shuyu waved his hand.
Choi Shin-ki and his men stepped forward aggressively.
"You bastard, do you know who's backing me?"
The official turned to look at Cui Shenji: "Chief Clerk Cui, we are officials in the same court, why..."
The official paused.
He had never met Wei Shuyu.
But if we're talking about who in the entire Tang Dynasty can command Cui Shenji, there's only one among the younger generation!
"You...you are Wei Shuyu?" the official asked in alarm.
"Good to know."
Wei Shuyu coldly rebuked, "So that you won't be unable to find anyone to seek revenge."
"Wei Shuyu, this is an order from the King of Wei!"
The official roared, "Are you going against the King of Wei?"
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu slapped him down.
Then he stepped on the other person's face...
"No matter who's behind you, even if it were His Majesty himself, he couldn't protect you today!"
Wei Shuyu waved her hand: "Beat them!"
