When? In times of war! Chapter 613: Seven Seventy-Two Seizure and Confiscation
"It doesn't matter if you interrupt or not!"
The family sneered, walked around behind him, and tied him up as well.
The stocky young man's eyes were red, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Keshou again and again. Li Keshou helped him up with a smile and said a few words very kindly.
Seeing that Li Ke couldn't stand it, and did what he said, he immediately gave justice to the host, and the crowd suddenly became commotionous. The Mao family is indeed quite domineering, and there have been a lot of people who have offended in recent years, with this stocky young man taking the lead, some people have stood up and said that they have been oppressed by the Mao family.
Of the onlookers alone, seven stood out. Li Keshou was not ambiguous at all, so he asked clearly on the spot, and then directly ordered the murderous shopkeeper to be arrested. By the time no one came out to speak, counting the one on horseback, there were already five shopkeepers tied up.
And Mao Yehua has one more crime on the charge: the third one, oppressing the good.
Then Li Keshou grabbed a handful of rice from the rice bag and took it in his hand to look at it carefully. The color of this rice is not good, it is not the high-quality polished rice with white flowers, but it is yellow and black. Li Keshou found that the rice was not only poor in color, but also mixed with a lot of miscellaneous things, such as sand, sawdust, bran and other messy things, a lot of them.
Li Keshou picked up the grain bag, threw it to a personal soldier, and instructed: "Look, what percentage of the miscellaneous goods are here, and what percentage is the rice?" ”
"Yes!"
The soldier answered, and looked through the mouth of the bag to examine it carefully.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Seventy percent is rice, and thirty percent is sand and gravel, bran and other sundries. ”
"Hmm."
Li Keshou nodded, and said to Yelu Li: "The fourth crime is shoddy, doping sand, gravel, bran and other things in the rice bag!" ”
At this point, Mao Yehua was not in a hurry, he knew that if Li Keshou wanted to kill himself, these charges would be enough to put him in prison, and after going to prison, his life would not be worth much, and it was not impossible to die in prison tonight.
And if Li Keshou doesn't want to kill himself, then he will be safe and sound.
Now it depends on what Li Keshou wants. Want silver? Or do you want to humiliate yourself? Or is it to bring food prices down?
Anyway, I can only bear it honestly now.
There are already four crimes, and if there are a few more, it will not itch if there are more lice, and if there are more debts, there will be no worries.
While thinking about it, he suddenly heard Li Keshou's cold voice coming: "Mao Yehua, you are shoddy, short of catties, arson slaves, and oppress the good, are you guilty?" ”
Mao Yehua was stunned, this is gone? This was something he didn't expect, he didn't expect that the four charges would end here, and Li Keshou did not add any more charges to him.
"There is no charge of price gouging?" Mao Yehua was very puzzled in his heart, he thought that Li Keshou would definitely add this crime, because this crime was the heaviest and largest, and the other charges could not be compared combined. At this time when the thieves are besieging the city and the people are panicking, they are charged with this crime, and they can even be directly beheaded by the raiders!
And more importantly, he did commit this crime, and he didn't have to plant it on his head, this is the truth.
"What did the officer ask you? Are you guilty? ”
Mao Yehua came back to his senses, quickly knelt on the ground, and said honestly: "The grass people are guilty." ”
"If you are convicted, you will be punished!" Li Keshou said in a deep voice: "Today, I will seal up your Maoji grain shop, and everything in the shop will be confiscated." ”
"Someone's coming!" Li Keshou shouted.
"In!" Yelu Lili and his family members shouted in unison, and the momentum was amazing.
"It's sealed!" Li Keshou pointed to the storefront and said two words neatly.
When he came, the seal had been prepared, and when he answered, he led someone in and brought out all the shopkeepers and so on, and then put a seal on the door.
Looking at this scene, Mao Yehua's face turned pale.
Although Li Keshou did not arrest him and put him in prison today, his losses were also extremely serious. In the grain shop and in the warehouse behind it, there are still hundreds of stones of grain, in addition to grain, salt, oil, sauce and vinegar, these things are also a lot, and they are very valuable. This time, all of them were seized and confiscated, and the direct loss was as high as thousands of taels of silver!
For their family, thousands of taels of silver is a lot of money.
And as one of the most important industries of the family, the grain store does not know when it will open.
Li Keshou personally handed a bag full of more than 100 catties of grain to the man whose leg was broken, and the man and his wife were naturally grateful.
After sitting on this, Li Keshou glanced at Mao Yehua coldly, turned over and got on the horse.
The purpose of his coming here today has been achieved.
The punishment of the Mao family is actually to warn other grain shop owners. And at the same time, it is to win people's hearts through this matter, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
He convicted Mao Yehua this time, but he didn't say the most important and most important one: price gouging.
Because he can't say. Evidence can be found for other crimes, but price gouging is difficult to find. Although everyone knows that Mao guy and other grain merchants are raising prices, the problem is that there is no evidence - at least not much evidence can be found in the short term.
If you say that they are raising prices, they will say that there is no way to raise prices, and they will say that this is the market now, and if you don't believe it, you can inquire about it, as long as someone has a low price, I will lower the price -- they have already colluded, and naturally they can't find a single low price in the whole city. If you really want to do this, it will be equivalent to fighting with this consortium, and you will be dragged into the quagmire, if you have to worry about this matter, then I don't know how long it will take.
It's equivalent to spending it with these people, don't ignore their strength, these people are united, and the energy is also very powerful.
The main thing is that it will be very troublesome, I don't know when it will be solved, Li Keshou doesn't have the leisure to get this with them.
Therefore, Li Keshou simply avoided the important and lightened it, and directly skipped the charge of price gouging, and gave you other charges first. Anyway, the other charges are conclusive, and they can completely punish you!
In this way, he doesn't have to deal with the behemoth of the grain shop complex, he only deals with the Mao family.
This trick is very coincidental, first, Li Keshou is less pressed; Second, the evidence was quickly collected, and the Mao family was immediately convicted and quickly sealed.
At the same time, although Li Keshou didn't say what the real crime was, as long as he was a caring person, he would definitely be able to guess it.
Another very important point is that Li Keshou is different from Dong Ce, Dong Ce is not a local official, and when the thieves withdraw, they can pat their butts and leave. But Li Keshou is different, he is still counting on being able to take over as the local magistrate, and then soar to the next level! He still wants to be an official here, because of these big families, he can't offend too much.
Seeing Li Keshou getting on the horse, Yelu Lihe also got on the horse, suddenly turned around and smiled at Mao Binhong, Mao Binhong was looking at these soldiers with resentment in his eyes, and suddenly saw Yelu Lihe smiling at himself, startled, and quickly hid behind his father.
With a long laugh, he took the family members and escorted the shopkeepers away.
The onlookers also dispersed in a hurry, leaving only the father and son of the Mao family and a few shop guys who were not arrested at the door of the grain store.
Relatively wordless, especially bleak.
Before sunset that day, the news of the seizure of Mao Ji's grain shop reached the ears of all the people in the city, and these people naturally included the owners of those large and small grain shops. They followed the Mao Ji grain store to increase the price privately, and they were already a little apprehensive in their hearts, and they were very concerned about how Li Keshou would deal with this matter, and as soon as the news came out, they got it. Although Li Keshou did not have the most serious one of the charges of price gouging, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the reason why Mao Yehua was unlucky was because he did it. As for the charges given, they are just a cover-up!
