The news of the soup soup in front of the "Yao Jiazheng Store" quickly spread. Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian had just loaded the lees in the car, and the two large barrels of porridge had already bottomed out. I came late, so I had to wait for the sake lees left in the restaurant to be shared.

At this moment, a shout came from outside the crowd: "Ah, you thieves, you really bought sake lees from here!" ”

As the words spoke, Wu Kejiu and Cao Jucheng brought a few servants and walked over while shouting.

Du Zhongxiao looked at the person and said coldly: "The county just doesn't allow vinegar from sake lees, didn't you say that you are not allowed to buy even sake lees, right?" ”

Wu Kejiu circled around the car pulling the wine lees, and said, "Ah, what kind of nonsense are you talking about!" You are not even allowed to brew vinegar, you dare to make sake from sake lees! Moonshine, do you know that you have committed a wine ban? There are so many of them that they will be killed! ”

Du Zhongxiao looked at Wu Kejiu and said disdainfully: "Who told you that we made wine?" Can you make your own brew in a day? We're just draining some more wine out of the lees! And don't brew privately, what kind of alcohol ban is committed! ”

"Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense!" Yao Jiazheng store's wine has been brewed for many years, how can it not drain the wine, but wait for you to buy the lees and go back and drain the wine out! It must be a trick to make it at home! ”

Wu Kejiu said as he returned to Cao Jucheng's side and said, "Cousin, you stay here, don't let these thieves escape!" I'm going to the county to sue the first person that the Du family and the Han family's foot shop conspired to sell the private wine. They sell a lot of alcohol in the store in one day, which is enough to kill heads! ”

Cao Jucheng said: "Cousin, go away, I have my own watch here." ”

Wu Kejiu nodded, walked two steps and came back, and said in front of Han Yueniang: "Little lady, you have committed the crime of killing your head in your family, why are you still standing with them?" Come with me, the magistrate will say good things for you and save your life! ”

Han Yueniang said ashamedly and annoyedly: "What are you talking about! We do our own business, do not violate the prohibition of alcohol, and make trouble! ”

"It's over, it's over! Pity such a flowery little lady! Wu Kejiu sighed and strode away.

Du Zhongxiao watched Wu Kejiu leave, and whispered to Director Tang beside him: "Director, please send someone to my house and inform my father of what happened here." The Wu family knows someone in the county, don't let them hurt them. ”

Director Tang agreed, sent a small servant, and flew to Du's house to report the news.

Watching the people leave, Du Zhongxiao said to Han Lian: "Daddy, let's pull the car back." If the Wu family dares to stop them, they will reason with them. ”

Han Lian clearly knew that the wine he sold was made from sake lees, and he did not brew it privately, so he had confidence in his heart. Whether the alcohol sold in the foot shop is illegal or not, it depends on what the county says. From the perspective of the law alone, if there is no private brewing, it is naturally not prohibited. Buying sake lees to make sake is actually similar in nature to selling sake on credit, but the profit margin is greater. However, when it comes to alcohol sensitivity, it is difficult to ensure how to break in the county.

Du Xun is a person, he can go directly to the county and reason with him. If the county is unfair, you can also go to the state and see the state directly. Anyway, as long as the law against alcohol is bitten to death, there will be no big deal.

The east showed the white of the fish belly, and the people gathered in front of the "Yao Family Store" gradually increased. Most of the people who gather here are bad people who use sake lees to make a living here. They were originally disgusted that the Du family and the Han family bought the sake lees here, which reduced their appetite, but they didn't expect that the two families would give porridge here again today, and the reputation happened to turn over.

Du Yueniang held a spoon in her hand, and while giving people the only remaining bucket bottom, her eyes were full of tears, and she was about to cry when she saw it.

When the person who received the porridge saw it, the boss in his heart endured it, and he clamored together: "The Wu family's puppy is really not a thing!" When we haven't heard? The little dog coveted the beauty of the little lady of the Han family, and deliberately did not give them wine on credit, wanting to cut off the livelihood of others. Now they are falsely accusing them of making moonshine, and their hearts are really vicious. Don't be afraid, when the government comes, we will all testify with you, where is there any such thing as making moonshine! ”

When they were hustle and bustle, Wu Kejiu brought a public servant and a few helpers in front of the ya, and hurried over.

When he arrived at the door of the "Yao Family's Main Store", Wu Kejiu pointed to a loaded cart of wine lees and said: "Look, this is the evidence of the Han family and the Du family's private winemaking!" They took the lees back, rebrewed it, and sold it, but they didn't violate the alcohol ban! Such a big car is enough to cut off the head! ”

When Chen Jiejie got closer, he didn't even look at it, so he waved his hand and said, "Come on, the car is buckled, arrest people!" ”

Du Zhongxiao was furious when he heard this, and stepped forward to stop him: "Why? You're going to arrest people as soon as you come! ”

Chen Jiejie didn't raise his eyelids, and said casually: "Just rely on your private brewing, such a big car is not a capital crime!" ”

Du Zhongxiao couldn't believe it, looked back at the car, and said loudly: "Jiejie, you can see clearly, it's wine lees, not wine!" But I heard that there is a ban on alcohol in the imperial court, and there is a ban on vinegar in the state and county, when did I hear that there is also a ban on wine lees? ”

The boss of the Chen Jie level was impatient: "Let me ask you, what are you doing when you buy sake lees and go back?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Don't hide the festival level, go back and filter some residual wine, and use the remaining wine lees as feed." The small family has recently raised a few fat pigs, all of which depend on these sake lees. Why, the county is still not allowed to buy sake lees? ”

Chen Jiejie was stunned for a moment, looked at Wu Kejiu beside him and said, "What, do you buy wine lees and go back to raise pigs?" ”

"That's nature!" Du Zhongxiao spread his hands. "Otherwise, what are we going to do with sake lees? Although the next family is poor, they do not have to eat wine lees to survive. Of course, there is some residual wine in the lees, which is drained out by the way, and it is also sold in the Han family's foot shop. ”

"Well, it's not for sake brewing! - Don't talk nonsense, arrest people, arrest people! "The boss of the Chen Jie level is impatient.

Du Zhongxiao was angry in his heart, and his voice was unconsciously high: "Festival level, the words have to be explained, and if you get a brewing word, you will really violate the alcohol ban." The lees in the restaurant were not cleanly filtered, so we bought it back and filtered some wine out, but there was no private brewing. ”

Chen Jiejie said: "You can't speak clearly. Why don't they filter the lees in the restaurant, waiting to sell it to you, so that you can go back and filter the wine? It must be a trick, your family must be brewing wine privately! ”

"Without evidence, how dare you talk nonsense! I have my own magic method, straining wine from the lees, how can I ever brew privately! ”

Chen Jiejie received Wu Kejiu's money, and the relationship with the Wu family is excellent on weekdays, this time he came to find trouble with Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian, where to listen to Du Zhongxiao's words, just ordered to arrest people.

The people who work in the yamen have many identities. There are public officials, such as Chen Jiejie, who have a formal establishment with a salary, and Yaqian, who is an errand boy from the high-ranking households in the county, as well as archers and so on. Just like Du Zhongxiao in his previous life, there are formal staff, auxiliary police, temporary workers, and people in the public gate with various identities. This kind of thing has been the same since ancient times.

Chen Jiejie is not an official, and he has no power to arrest people, but in the name of investigating alcohol bans, he is just scary people.

Several Yaqian archers listened to Chen Jiejie's orders, rushed up, and tied up Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian.

When Han Yueniang saw it, she stepped forward and said, "At the festival level, if you don't see the official documents of the yamen and the summons, how can you dare to kidnap people?" ”

Chen Jiejie waved his hand impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense!" Alcohol ban is violated, where are those needed! - Boys, get the people back! ”

After speaking, he took his subordinates, tied up Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian, and pushed and shoved in the direction of the yamen. Only Han Yueniang was left, staring at the backs of several people there, at a loss.

Director Tang couldn't bear it when he saw it, and said softly to Han Yueniang: "Little lady, I have sent someone to find Du Juren." He is a scholar, a township tribute jinshi who has been relieved, and he can go to see officials. I think that the county may not know about Chen Jie's visit this time. ”

Han Yueniang cried and cried, so she had to help carry the empty porridge bucket to the car and wait in front of the "Yao Family Store".

Surrounding the crowd to watch the excitement, some people stayed here to watch Han Yueniang, and some followed Chen Jie's group of people to watch the excitement. Someone watched from the side, and Chen Jiejie didn't dare to do anything on the road.

Chen Jiejie took people to escort Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian, but did not return to the county office. When they arrived at a small courtyard not far from the county office, they asked their subordinates to disperse the people who came with them and locked them in.

After entering the small courtyard, Du Zhongxiao saw that Chen Jiejie was leaving, and said in a loud voice: "Jiejie, it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it." Since you have arrested us, you should go to the county lieutenant or the county magistrate, but it is not the number of roads to be locked up here. My father is a township tribute jinshi who has been resolved, and he sent a complaint to the county, but when the county order asked, it was not a trick. You have an old friend with the Wu family, and we are here privately, so I am afraid that we will not be able to explain it at that time. ”

Chen Jiejie sneered: "You guy has a sharp mouth." You wine, I caught you right, what else is there to say? Now that you're here, I'm going to look for all kinds of evidence. When the time comes, I will have physical evidence, and then I will take your confessions, and I will go to the officials. ”

Where is Du Zhongxiao willing to believe this kind of nonsense. Now he can basically be sure that it must have been Wu Kejiu who gave him the benefit of arresting Han Lian and imprisoning him here, and then they came forward to blackmail the two families. The people are afraid of officials, as long as they wear official uniforms, they are people from the government in their eyes, and where can they tell whether they are officials or officials. These people have done a lot of this kind of thing on weekdays, but today they are still average, and they are not the same thing.

Seeing that Chen Jiejie was about to leave in a hurry, Du Zhongxiao wanted to set aside time for his father, and hurriedly said: "Jiejie, you are not a county lieutenant, and this is not a public court, what kind of physical evidence are you looking for, and what confession are you asking?" When the time came, he really went to the county order, set up a private court, and imprisoned the people, and this crime could not be excused. ”

Wu Kejiu saw that Du Zhongxiao was entangled, and Chen Jiejie couldn't move for a long time, so he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and said sharply: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about!" The section level is not an official, are you an official? You brew moonshine, you're already a dead man, nonsense! ”
