Chapter 387: The First Fire
Jia San ran in from outside with a happy mood, his mind was full of the fat big eel, but when he saw this scene in front of the county prison, he couldn't help but be completely stunned.
Zhao Zhu, who had always called him a brother and brother, knelt quickly, and Cheng Deming, the famous king of Yama in Leizhou City, also knelt, and the person they knelt on was the young scholar who had just been captured.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
Jia San's eyes fell on the young scholar, and time passed bit by bit, but he still couldn't believe the scene in front of him. When the scholar's sharp gaze came, his heart was immediately cold, and he knew that he must have kicked the iron plate this time.
It's just that he doesn't understand that even if this young scholar is a person, King Cheng Yan doesn't have to kneel to him!
Zhao Zhutou got up from the ground, saw that Jia San turned around and wanted to escape, and immediately took out his waist knife to chase after him and scolded: "Jia San, you try to run again!" ”
Jia San hesitated for a moment, then stopped and said stiffly: "Brother Zhao, I am the person of the leopard master, whoever wants to move me has to worry about it!" When he said this, he was obviously coming at Lin Hao.
"Who are you scaring boy? It's useless for you to talk about anyone, if you don't want to die, just admit your mistakes! Zhao grabbed his clothes hard, pulled him back here and reprimanded.
Jia San had a hippie face again, and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhao, what kind of trouble are you making here?" ”
"Who is messing with you, Lord Fuzun dares to move, are you kid impatient to live, and you don't honestly admit your mistakes?" Zhao Chukuai also hated in his heart, he was dragged into the water by Jia San today, otherwise how could he catch Lord Fuzun back by mistake.
"House...... Fuzun? ”
Jia San's head immediately buzzed, and then he looked at the young scholar incredulously.
I couldn't have imagined that this person turned out to be the newly appointed mansion today, the legendary champion of Gaozhou Mansion. The little confidence in my heart has also disappeared without a trace, and the name of the leopard master may not be able to shake this big Buddha.
"Don't get down on your knees yet!"
Zhao Zhu quickly pushed him in front of Lin Haoran, and kicked him to his foot with precision.
Jia San's legs were weak, the center of gravity of his body had been lost, he fell to his knees and saluted embarrassedly: "Grass people Jia San knocks to see your lord!" The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and asks the adults to forgive them! ”
At this moment, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and he wanted to do something to the new prefect in the fish market. Fortunately, I didn't hurt the other party, if I really hurt the other party, I'm afraid no one would be able to save my life.
Lin Haoran is now the prefect of Leizhou, so naturally he can't afford to deal with a gangster in front of him, so he glanced at Jia San who was kneeling on the ground lightly, and then asked Lu Dianshi who was kneeling on the side: "Lu Dianshi, who gave him the right to collect stall fees in the fish market?" ”
Today he didn't suffer a loss, and now he is making a big fuss, not trying to punish anyone. The main purpose is to take the opportunity to correct this unhealthy trend in the fish market, to defeat this kind of embarrassment, and even more to defeat the fish tyrants in Leizhou City.
"Yes...... It's a lower official! Cheng Dianshi said stubbornly.
"Oh! When did Daming have this tax? Lin Haoran's eyebrows raised slightly, and he asked coldly. I thought it was Jia San's personal bullying and domination of the market, but I didn't expect that the county government would dare to put on a legal cloak for Jia San.
"Tell your lordship, the lower officials also want the county government to make more purchases, so they handed it over to Jia San to manage the fish market and collect appropriate stall fees." Cheng Dianshi explained in a low voice, biting the word "appropriate" very hard.
Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly, and he found that the wisdom of low-level officials should not be underestimated, obviously he was in cahoots with gangsters and took personal profits from the fish market, but now he can wear the hat of "wholeheartedly serving the public".
"What is the income of the county government in a month?" Lin Haoran couldn't accuse this method of anything wrong, so he asked in a deep voice.
"This ......" Cheng Dianshi suddenly became slurred.
Not to mention Cheng Dianshi, Zhao Zhukuai exchanged glances with Jia San, and buried his head very low.
"Say!" Lin Haoran said sharply.
"Three...... Thirty taels! Cheng Dianshi gestured with three fingers, which seemed to be unconfident.
"Thirty taels?" Lin Haoran was a little surprised, although this is not much, but this income cannot be regarded as too little, but it can be regarded as an increase in income for the county government.
"It's thirty-two years!" Cheng Dianshi added awkwardly.
Lin Haoran suddenly changed color and stared deeply at Cheng Dianshi.
In his view, there is nothing wrong with collecting appropriate booth fees, after all, collecting business taxes is conducive to reducing the burden on farmers. However, the income of less than three taels a month is simply to make money unscrupulously in the name of the yamen, and the fish market is used as a private ATM.
"A year? For a mere thirty taels of silver a year, but let the people of the whole city eat fish and meat that are several times more expensive every day? Lin Haoran pinched the pain point and reprimanded.
"Next...... Damn it! Cheng Dianshi also knew that this matter was indeed excessive, so he begged for mercy again.
It's just that he wasn't sure if the new prefect was really angry about the high cost of fish, or if he also wanted a piece of the fish market. If it was the latter, it was completely unnecessary, how could Jia Bao miss his part.
When he was lecturing here, the news also spread into the yamen, but Tang Buyuan, the magistrate of the county, was not in the yamen, only Wei Zhubo rushed from the main Bo Yachong.
Wei Lord Bo came out from the second gate, looked left and right, and saw Lin Haoran standing in front of the county prison gate, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Haikang County Lord Bo Wei Zhongguo pays a visit to Lord Fuzun!"
"Do you know about the stall fees charged at the fish market?" Lin Haoran's anger did not subside, and he looked at the little old man and asked in a deep voice.
"Does the lower official know?" Wei Zhubo replied.
"You know?" Lin Haoran felt a little surprised, he thought that their county government would push Cheng Dianshi as a substitute, but he didn't expect that this lord Bo didn't seem to have any intention of prevaricating.
"Xiaguan and Tangzhi County once advocated the abolition of booth fees!" Lord Wei raised his head and looked at Lin Haoran calmly.
"Then why is it still here?" Lin Haoran's face softened slightly, daring to feel that the situation here was better than he imagined, and that non-commissioned officer Tang Buyuan obviously cherished his feathers. It's just that he is also confused, since the number one and three leaders of the county government are jointly opposed to the matter, how can this unreasonable behavior continue?
"It's Lord Bai Tongzhi who thinks this move is very good!" Wei Zhubo hesitated for a moment, and then explained.
Lin Haoran looked at this old master Bo deeply, and found that his beard was pale, but his eyes were full of perseverance, and his face was also bright, so he believed it a little.
The previous Bai Tongzhi acted as the prefect, just like the county government did not dare to do it with him now, and the county government naturally did not dare to work with Bai Tongzhi, so the chaos in the fish market appeared.
Since he knew that the biggest obstacle was Bai Tongzhi, who had already left office, Lin Haoran knew that this matter would be easier to do, so he lightly ordered: "You and Tangzhi County discuss a new charter, the county government can't let the people eat high-priced fish and meat for a year for just thirty taels!" ”
"The subordinate obeys!" Wei Zhubo was a little excited, and saluted loudly.
Compared with Wei Zhubo's happiness, Wei Dianshi, Zhao Zhukuai and Jia San's hearts were simply dripping blood.
They are the beneficiary group of the current situation of the fish market, and now that the fire of the new prefect is burning, he has the support of the fishmongers and the common people, but he has cut the flesh of their gang!
