Chapter 25 Li Wan demands debt

When Li Jing saw Li Wan running away, he laughed and said, "He turned red. It seems that there is something going on. We have to find a chance to meet this future son-in-law."

When he entered the backyard, he found two wine bottles on the table. They were toilet water that Li Wan had casually placed on the table.

"Why does this bottle look so much like an alcohol bottle?"

He curiously opened it and took a look. The fragrance of toilet water made Li Jing feel relaxed and happy. He was surprised and happy in his heart: "Good stuff, really good stuff. This stuff actually has the effect of refreshing the mind. It's incredible."

He confiscated the two bottles of toilet water without shame and put them in his study. He then read in the study and smelled them when he was tired.

Li Wan didn't know that her father, a general, had embezzled two bottles of toilet water from her.

I took my maid and servant to Li's Tavern.

She looked at the devastated tavern and arranged for the maids to stay and clean it, while she took her servants to Cui's tavern.

Manager Cui got 10,000 yuan from the Li family and went to the county magistrate with great joy. The original county magistrate Lin Jian had been dismissed, and the new county magistrate was a member of the Cui family, named Cui Yu, who belonged to Cui Jinhua, the person in charge of Chang'an.

Second son.

The reason why Cui Yu became the county magistrate was also because of the food problem. At that time, the court was short of food, so Wei Zheng approached Cui.

Cui Jinhua, who originally had no intention of agreeing to donate food, learned that Lin Jian had been raped by the court, so he asked his son Cui Yu to become the county magistrate and donated food to the court.

There is also a small request, that is, the food cannot be donated to the court in the name of the Cui family, but should be donated for Cui Yu's personal reasons.

At that time, Wei Zheng had no other choice, and since Cui Yu was indeed young and promising, he agreed.

Cui Yu is also happy that he can be the county magistrate. It turns out that he has been serving as a county magistrate under Lin Jian, and now he can finally be the county magistrate. A sixth-grade official is no longer young, and there are many members of the Cui family in the court.

People, if you want to take another step forward, it’s not too difficult.

Manager Cui came to his door today, which made him a little happy. Finally, someone asked him for help, and it was one of his own family members.

"Yu'er, my uncle needs your help with something." Manager Cui said things directly. Why should my family be so polite?

Cui Yu smiled and said: "Uncle, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as I, the county magistrate, can do it, I will definitely do it."

"Thank you very much." Guan Cui thanked him in advance, and then said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. There was a boy who tricked our wine shop into signing a contract, which means that we have to deliver wine every day within a certain period of time.

Otherwise, we will have to compensate the other party ten times the amount."

"This seems very reasonable. It's not a lie." Cui Yu said.

Cui Guanshi smiled and said: "If we knew from the beginning that if we didn't sell alcohol to the other party, we would pay ten times the amount, that wouldn't be considered cheating. But if we didn't know, would that constitute cheating?"

Cui Yu immediately understood that Manager Cui was planning to sue the other party for intentional deception.

He thought for a moment and said: "Okay, as long as my uncle insists that the other party did not inform you of the situation in advance, I will order someone to arrest him now."

"Thank you so much Yu'er, no, it's the county magistrate."

"Uncle, you're too polite. I wonder who you want me to arrest?"

"Pingkangfang, Li Feng, the owner of Li's Tavern."

Cui Yu frowned slightly. He thought the name was very familiar. He must have heard it before, but he just couldn't remember where he had heard it before. Forget it, never mind.

"Don't worry, uncle, I will give the order now to have him arrested and brought to justice."

Cui Yu picked up the token and said in a deep voice: "Hou Lin is here."

A man wearing headcatcher clothes hurried in.

"Sir, are you looking for a humble job?"

Cui Yu nodded, handed him the token, and said, "Go and arrest Li Feng, the owner of Li's Winery in Pingkangfang."

"Yes, I will leave now."

Hou Lin took the order and turned around to summon his subordinates to arrest him, but before he could walk out of the door, he turned around and looked at Cui Yu with a look of horror on his face.

Cui Yu frowned slightly and asked very unhappily: "Hou Lin, what are you doing standing still? Why don't you go arrest him quickly?"

Hou Lin asked submissively: "Sir, who did you just say you wanted to arrest?"

Manager Cui next to Cui Yu said impatiently: "Li Feng, the owner of Li's Tavern in Pingkangfang, why, Captain Hou knows him?"

"Huh?" Cui Yu looked at Hou Lin.

Hou Lin hurriedly explained: "We know each other. It was County Magistrate Lin who took the humble officials and others to arrest Li Feng once, but we returned without success. Your Excellency should also have heard about this."

"No wonder it sounds so familiar. It turned out to be him, and it was all because of him that Lin Jian was dismissed from office. I should thank him." Cui Yu suddenly realized.

Manager Cui quickly said: "What do you mean, sir, that this person cannot be caught?"

"Is that true? It's just that this person's background is a bit strange. Why did Tang Jian help him? We need to investigate."

"I know this."

"Oh, my cousin actually knows?" Cui Yu was a little surprised, and then suddenly realized that his cousin must have investigated Li Feng.

Manager Cui nodded and said: "I have investigated him and found that he used the name of the Li family in Longxi to buy a large amount of grain from Wang Yuan of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce.

After Tang Jian learned about this, he wanted to buy this batch of grain. By chance, Wang Yuan and Lin Jian arrested Li Feng.

At this time, Tang Jian acted as a benefactor and rescued Li Feng, and Li Feng sold all the grain to the court. What's more interesting is that Li Feng did not earn a penny from the court, but instead stole 200,000 guan from Lin Jian and Wang Yuan.

Sometimes, I have to admire this guy. He is really good at making money. Not only does he sell well to the court, but he can also make a lot of money."

Cui Yu nodded and said: "Yes, he is a talent. Such a talent should follow the Cui family. How can he be left outside?"

"Yu'er, he is just a villain, and he has offended Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and Niu Jinda. If our Cui family takes him in, we have offended these three people. This is not a good thing for our Cui family.

." Manager Cui said quickly.

At this time, he already knew what the Li family was planning, which was to imitate Tang Jian. After Li Feng was captured, they would come forward to rescue Li Feng and then become servants of the Li family.

At the same time, he hated the Li family for playing tricks in front of him, but he accepted the other party's ten thousand yuan. If he didn't do this well, he also knew what consequences he would face.

Upon hearing that Li Feng had offended the annoying Cheng Yaojin, Cui Yu instantly lost interest in Li Feng and said: "Hou Lin, arrest Li Feng and bring him to justice."

"It's not good, it's not good." Suddenly, a servant dressed in Cui's Winery ran in hurriedly.

Cui Yu, Manager Cui and Hou Lin all frowned.

Manager Cui immediately walked up to him and said angrily: "It's such a noisy place in the yamen. How unbecoming it is."

The servant calmed down and called Cui Yu "Second Young Master."

Cui Yu nodded and said, "Why are you so panicked?"

The servant immediately said respectfully: "Reporting to the Second Young Master, something happened in the winery. Miss Wan'er from the Marshal's Mansion made a big fuss in our winery."

"What's going on?" Cui Yu stood up. This was the female overlord, whom the emperor loved very much. She was very prestigious in the army and could not be offended easily.

"She came to collect a debt from Li Feng of Li's Tavern. She said that we destroyed their tavern and broke the contract privately, so she wants us to pay three thousand gu."

"It's just her, why?" Manager Cui shouted loudly.

Cui Yu's face turned gloomy and said: "Uncle, please handle this matter. As for the arrest of Li Feng, we will wait until you have finished handling it."

"Okay, I'll take care of it right now." Manager Cui wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then left the county office with his servants.

Cui Yu was not idle either and sent someone to inform him, Cui Jinhua, the head of Cui family's branch in Chang'an of Qinghe.

…

At Cui's Winery, Li Wan led a dozen servants to prevent anyone from entering or exiting, and only asked one servant to find someone who could take charge.

Li Wan was very concerned about Li Feng's mission. She planned to take down the bulk first that day, and then she could buy more alcohol when the time came.

Li Wan did not touch the employees of Cui's Wine House. Only those servants who were dissatisfied had their hands and feet broken. The others were just detained.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Li Wan, who had been feeling bored, saw someone coming and walked over immediately.

"Are you the one who destroyed Li's Tavern?" Li Wan looked at the visitor and asked.

Cui Guanshi didn't answer but asked: "I don't know what you are talking about outside the door, girl, and why did you come to my winery to cause trouble?"

"Don't admit it? Huh." Li Wan sneered, "Bring it up."

Cui Xiaoer was brought up.

"Uncle, save me, save me quickly." When Cui Xiaoer saw Manager Cui, he felt like he saw a savior and immediately asked for help.

"You, shut up." Manager Cui immediately shouted at Cui Xiaoer, idiot, really idiot, if I had known, I would have told him to get out.

Li Wan sneered and said: "Shut up, both of you. Give me the money. After giving the money, I will leave. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

"Miss Li, this is a matter between my Cui's Winery and Li's Tavern. Please don't get involved." Manager Cui said tactfully.

"It's too late. I have promised him that he must get three thousand gu in compensation, otherwise Cui's Winery will disappear from Chang'an from today on."

"Who is so crazy that you dare to say that Cui's Winery will disappear?" A heavy voice sounded.

Manager Cui and others were startled and saluted the visitor: "I have met the master of the house."

The person who came was none other than Cui Jinhua, the head of the Qinghe Cui family's branch in Chang'an.

Not only is he the head of the Cui family branch, he is also an official of the court. He has a lot of influence in the court. Most people will give him some respect. At least it is better for Li Jing not to mess with him now.

Even if Tang Jian shows up, we still have to give him some face, so everyone keeps a good face.

Of course Li Wan also knew Cui Jinhua, so she cupped her hands and said to him, "I have met Mr. Cui."

Cui Jinren looked at Li Wan and said with a gloomy face: "General Li, you are so capable that you lead a group of people to break into other people's property. I will definitely read your book tomorrow."
