Chapter 29 Don't give Tong Guan face
Tong Xiang relies on Tong Guan's power and has always been arrogant and domineering.
This time Wu Zhi saw it with his own eyes and naturally he would not let it go easily.
Before he could react, he kicked him down again.
"Tong Xiang, do you know your guilt?"
After kicking Tong Xiang down, Wu Zhi stared at him with murderous intent on his face.
Wu Zhi looked down upon those who oppressed the people the most.
If he hadn't arrived today, no one would have been injured by him.
"My lord, these people refuse to pay taxes, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Tong Xiang looked at Wu Zhi carefully and argued.
"Mr. Jinglue, don't listen to this Tong Xiang's nonsense. We have paid all the taxes we should pay. These are all his own ways to make money."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Manager, don't listen to this traitor's excuse! Since he took office as the city lord, he has been bullying the people and came up with more than ten new taxes, such as protection tax, road maintenance tax, and even birth tax.
.”
As soon as Tong Xiang spoke up to defend himself, the people around him complained to Wu Zhi.
With Wu Zhi making the decision for them, these ordinary people are no longer afraid of Tong Xiang and tell him all the outrageous things he has committed over the years.
"Tong Xiang, what else do you have to say?"
How can one mouth of Tong Xiang be compared with hundreds of mouths of common people?
He was scolded so quickly that he had no ability to fight back.
"Sir, I..."
At this time, Tong Xiang wanted to speak.
However, after opening his mouth, he didn't know what to say at all.
"Come here, put Tong Xiang in prison!"
The evidence was conclusive, Wu Zhi saw it with his own eyes, and people filed lawsuits one after another. Even Tong Xiang himself could not find a reason to defend himself.
Wu Zhi took him directly to prison.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"What a great master Qingtian!"
"Tong Xiang finally got his revenge!"
Seeing Wu Zhi throwing Tong Xiang into prison, all the people present praised Wu Zhi's wisdom.
Qingzhou was only a few days away from Bianjing. With great efforts, the news that Tong Xiang was imprisoned by Wu Zhi soon reached the ears of Privy Councilor Tong Guan.
Wu Zhi had the Kanglong Golden Mace in his hand and was deeply trusted by Emperor Zhao Ji. Tong Guan did not want to break up with Wu Zhi, so he wrote a letter in person with a very low profile.
"This Tong Guan came to intercede for Tong Xiang."
After Wu Zhi read Tong Guan's letter, he did not follow Tong Guan's request for a lenient sentence.
Instead, in accordance with the laws of the Song Dynasty, Tong Xiang was directly dismissed from his official position, his family property was confiscated, and he was sentenced to whipping.
"Well done, beat this corrupt official to death!"
"This kind of dog officer should be beaten to death!"
On the Xingtai, Tong Xiang was beaten until his skin and flesh were torn, and he fainted amidst the screams.
The people watching all around cheered and praised the fight well.
"Xianggong Wu is such a good official, our reincarnated parents!"
Wu Zhi did not hand over the wealth that Tong Xiang collected from the people to the national treasury, but distributed it equally to the poor, making the people praise him to the heavens.
At the same time, the news that Tong Xiang was dismissed from his official position, his property was confiscated, and he was also whipped was rushed to Tong Guan's house through six hundred miles.
"You're such a good Wu Zhi, I, Tong Guan, swear to be incompatible with you!"
Tong Guan broke his favorite vase and became furious.
Tong Guan has always had a very low profile towards Wu Zhi, and has never offended him.
However, this time he personally came forward to plead, but Wu Zhi ignored him, which aroused the overwhelming anger in Tong Guan's heart.
Although Tong Guan was offended by Tong Xiang's incident, Wu Zhi did not regret it.
For people like Tong Xiang, even if Zhao Ji comes forward, he will punish them severely.
Fortunately, although Tong Xiang was domineering, he never caused any harm to anyone.
Therefore, Wu Zhi did not execute him and spared his life.
After dealing with Tong Xiang's case, Wu Zhi thought about making money again.
There is no other way, if you want to be an official, and the bandits in Liangshan want to be wiped out, you can't make less money either.
"Ms. sir, I heard that you opened a large restaurant in Bianjing and the business was very good. Why not open another one in Jining City?"
When Wu Zhi came to discuss with others, Shi Qian was the first to make suggestions.
Compared with the last time's unreasonable suggestion, this time it was obviously much more reliable, and Wu Zhi couldn't help but nod.
"Brother, I also think we can open another restaurant."
Fengyuelou's wine is famous throughout Bianjing, and even Emperor Zhao Ji designated it as the royal wine.
The money they earned from Bianjing was too little for Wu and Song.
Now that I have come to Qingzhou, I should also make some money from Qingzhou.
"Okay, then let's open two more restaurants in Qingzhou. The names are also named after Fengyue. Let's treat them as Fengyue Restaurant's branches in Qingzhou."
Wu Zhi himself was also interested in making a move. Under everyone's unanimous suggestion, he made the decision immediately without any hesitation.
"By the way, I also have a kind of mirror here, which is ten times clearer and brighter than a bronze mirror. I think I can also open a store."
After deciding to open two restaurants, Wu Zhi thought of the mirror production technology presented by the system last night and couldn't help but say.
"Lang Jun, do you really have such a mirror?"
Neither Shi Qian nor Wu Song had much interest in mirrors.
The first person to speak was Master Li.
When Wu Zhi mentioned the magical mirror, his eyes lit up.
"Of course, don't you believe it?"
Wu Zhi had the mirror template in his hand. After Li Shishi wanted it, he took out the mirror without any hesitation and gave it to Li Shishi.
"Wow, it's amazing!"
Seeing himself in the mirror so clearly for the first time, Master Li was very excited.
"Let's take a look at it and see if it's different from the bronze mirror?"
Li Shishi's excited screams attracted the attention of Wu Song and others.
A few people who didn't like looking in the mirror at first also came over, looking left and right, which was very different from Ping Shen's style.
"This is the only bright mirror I've ever seen in my life!"
Shi Qian, who had always made a living by stealing, couldn't help but sigh after seeing Wu Zhi's mirror.
"Mr. Sir, it is not an exaggeration to say that this mirror is a magical artifact. If there are a large number of them, we will definitely make a lot of money."
Shi Qian is not good in other aspects, but I still have some insights.
One look at it and you'll understand what's special about the mirror.
"In this case, then put the mirror in Shishi's shop and sell it as the most expensive jewelry."
If wine is a magical medicine for men, then the mirror is a boudoir treasure for women, and it is indispensable for both parties.
Only Wu Zhi has this method of making glass mirrors.
In this case, he can set whatever price he wants.
Wuzhi's execution ability was very strong. Starting from the next day, the wine shop and mirror shop started making.
In order to prevent others from stealing technology, one person is only responsible for one process.
It took nearly three days for the first batch of wine and the first batch of mirrors to come out.
Sure enough, as Wu Zhi and others expected, the mirrors and wine were sold out as soon as they came out.
