Everyone was a little surprised, it's fine that Mo Yuhou brought the boss of the grain store to the party, after all, the boss has been praised by the master, and his poems are not bad. But it's all down the mountain. Instead of eating in a good restaurant, go to the food store to eat
What do you eat? Do you eat rice
Ji Man also felt a little surprised. This group of people were either relatives of the emperor or important officials of the court. They took them to the food store to eat. Why
In the silence, it was Qian Yingchen who said: "That's good, I heard that Ji's Grain Store sells only tribute rice, so we can go and taste what it's like."
Many officials also buy rice from the Ji family. Why can't Gongmi be eaten? Everyone knew that Qian Yingchen was helping to speak, but Mo Yuhou had already spoken, and there was no reason for everyone to refuse.
So the three carriages and a group of people went to Ji's grain store.
During Jiman's two days on the mountain, something went wrong with the food line. Digging money out of the hands of a crowd of old fritters will naturally have sequelae. Liu Ji and Rong Ji have now broken their faces with the Ji family, and the price of grain has dropped to one or two taels of silver, so they sued the government with a piece of paper, saying that the Ji family maliciously lowered the price of grain, causing the price of food in the capital to be unstable. The grain line lost all its money.
Originally, the laws of this era were not so lenient, but Liu Ji and Rong Ji spent their money this time, sold several properties, and found the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Let the Ji family fall, so that they can make up for all the money they lost.
So the government accepted the pleading paper, and when Ji Man was away, they took Yan Buba back to the Yamen for interrogation, and left the policeman to guard Ji Man when he came back at Ji's Grain Store.
Although shopkeeper Liu felt sorry for the gift, he couldn't bear to let the child not be caught by the wolf. The Ji family had the support of the servant of the household department, so he had no choice but to get along with the greedy minister of the household department. Although the flowers are very painful for him, as long as the Ji family falls, everything will be worth it!
I have already inquired, Zhu Shilang was busy with other things, and he heard that Shang Shu had an order, so he didn't mean to protect Ji Shi. No matter what, Ji Shi is dead this time.
Ji Man sneezed on the carriage, and Ning Yuxuan glanced at him lightly: "I told you to sleep on the bed, so you're not so stubborn."
"How can He De sleep with Lord Hou?" Sucking his nose, Ji Man looked at the other gentlemen in the carriage, muttering inwardly. Where does she have to order food and drinks to entertain this group of people
I found someone to go back to the food store in advance to order Yan Buba to go to Luoyan Pagoda to order takeaway. Ji Man didn't expect these grown-ups who had eaten vegetarian dishes for several days to be interested in her light home-cooked dishes, so naturally there would be more meat.
The passer-by with the reward ran to the grain store to inform, but was stopped by the guards. Hearing that Boss Ji was coming back, shopkeepers Liu and Rong left their dinner and rushed to Ji's Grain Store to watch the fun.
Thinking of Ji Man taking their hard-earned money for several years so calmly, the two shopkeepers gritted their teeth with hatred, wishing to see Ji Man being taken into prison immediately.
The guards were also greeted, and as soon as they saw Ji Man, they immediately arrested him.
The three carriages arrived at Ji's Grain Store slowly. As soon as Ji Man got out of the carriage, before he realized what happened, he was arrested by a few policemen.
"What?" Ji Man frowned.
"Are you the boss Ji of Ji's Grain Company?" the policeman quickly asked.
"It's him! It's him!" Several shopkeepers who were watching the excitement quickly shouted: "He is Ji Man!"
The policeman nodded quickly, and was about to take him away, but several people got out of the car. The first person who came down looked at this posture, and kicked away the hands holding Jiman without saying a word.
The policeman was unprepared, he was kicked aside, and immediately drew the knife from his waist: "Bold, is there anyone who dares to resist?"
The person who got out of the car was wearing a plain robe, but his face was very good-looking, and he looked like a gentleman. He looked very gentle, and no one would think that he kicked him just now.
The policeman couldn't help but look to the side, could it be someone else who kicked it
Ning Yuxuan stretched out his hand to pull Ji Man over, and glanced at the policeman: "Which Yamen are you from?"
"Under the order of Jing Zhaoyin, I came to arrest Ji Man, the owner of Ji's Grain Company." The policeman glanced at Ning Yuxuan, he didn't know this person, he just felt that he had an extraordinary bearing, he was probably a son of an official.
"Well, why do you want to arrest him?" Ning Yuxuan asked the coachman to lift the curtain while talking, and the curious people in the back also got out of the car one after another. Haven't finished the meal yet, are you going to arrest someone
Suddenly there was a large group of men and women in front of them, and they were all dressed in extraordinary clothes. The arrester was a little flustered, and he took a step back and said: "This is an order from above, and I don't know what to do below."
"Boss?" Xiao Tianyi raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Ning Yuxuan: "Which boss?"
Shopkeepers Liu and Shopkeeper Rong next to him are not right to look at this posture. Where did Ji Man go to meet some high-ranking officials? But take a look at this group of people who don't know much, and probably don't have much official position, after all, they have even met Shang Shu.
After thinking about it, the shopkeeper of Rongji ran to the Yamen to help the arrester to ask for help.
Seeing that Xiao Tianyi couldn't answer, the policeman could only say that it was Master Jing Zhaoyin.
"You tell him to come, we'll wait inside." Xiao Tianyi said with a smile, and led the crowd inside: "We haven't had dinner yet, and the Wu Zang Temple is really empty, so let's go in first."
Ji Man frowned and looked at shopkeeper Liu in the crowd. Damn, nothing good happened when he saw him. Fortunately, she gave them a way to survive, and never once monopolized the tenant's contract, which was behind her back. What little shoes
Sure enough, she is the kind of knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted, and she always feels that she is very cruel to others, but in the end she always leaves a way for others to survive. To leave a way for these enemies to survive, isn't it just to make things difficult for her
Ning Yuxuan really didn't remind her in vain.
I went into the food store, found a room on the second floor for this group of people to sit down, and then told the staff to buy snacks and order vegetables. A group of people who were still very hungry just now became curious about the Ji family.
"Boss Ji is a black businessman?" Sun Changyang asked.
Ji Man shook his head with a dark face: "I'm doing my own business." It's just that I used some tricks to make more money.
"Then why did the police come to catch you?" Sun Changyang muttered, "Who girl did you kidnap?"
Does her face look like a trafficker? Ji Man couldn't laugh or cry, but Zhu Yurun next to him whispered, "Mr. Ji is a good man."
Unsurprisingly, Qian Yingchen snorted at this sentence.
Zhu Yurun kept her mouth shut.
Before the dishes came, Jing Zhaoyin was surrounded by a group of storekeepers. Jing Zhaoyin was also helpless, if it wasn't for Shangshu's order, he wouldn't come to work at this dinner time.
"Where are those people?" Jing Zhaoyin said cursingly: "Aren't you going to let the arresters arrest them quickly? Those who commit crimes must be arrested, and no one can protect them!"
The clerk of the grain shop tremblingly led the old man upstairs, and several shopkeepers looked around in Ji's grain store, touched the white rice, and laughed.
After a while, Jing Zhaoyin came down with no expression on his face, got into the sedan chair and left without saying a word.
"My lord?" The shopkeepers were dumbfounded, not understanding what happened, and rushed to chase the sedan chair. As a result, he saw a fat hand waving from the window of the sedan chair, Jing Zhaoyin said: "Go and find someone else, this matter is not fair to me, and I will not report it at the end of the season!"
Can't tell? Why can't you tell? The storekeepers of the grain store didn't understand, but they couldn't just let it go for nothing, they spent a lot of money!
Can scare Jing Zhaoyin, is it possible that the superior is really a high-ranking official? Shopkeeper Liu thought about it, but how big can it be? Can it be bigger than Master Shangshu who is from the second rank
A few people went to visit Li Licheng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, with shamefaced faces. This Lord Li is short of manpower, so naturally he has to help with things. Jing Zhaoyin was so frightened that he went on strike? Who would that be in Ji's Grain Company
Also with a little curiosity, Li Licheng went to Ji's grain store in a sedan chair.
During this interval, Ji Man had invited a group of people to eat the food and snacks from Luoyan Pagoda. Everyone said that she was careful and knew that this group of people used to love the food from Luoyan Pagoda.
After dinner, when I was idle and free, someone said that the Secretary of the Household Department had arrived.
"This small grocery store really has a lot of face." Luo Qianqian covered her lips and smiled: "There are so many people here today, and they all ate Mr. Ji's food, so Mr. Ji won't be wronged. "
Ji Man cupped his hands, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. I really appreciate Ning Yuxuan's effort to come to Ji's Grain Store for dinner, otherwise she might be sent to the sky prison for no reason today. When the time comes, let someone come to rescue him, and he will have to lose a few layers of skin if he talks less.
When Li Licheng entered the food store, he didn't see anyone coming to welcome him, he felt a little dissatisfied immediately, and even more displeased when he heard that everyone was in the wing room.
Shopkeeper Liu and Shopkeeper Rong looked at Master Shangshu's expression, and they were also happy. They hurriedly led them upstairs, and followed them in to have a look.
Fortunately, the second floor is big enough. It is the high-end auditorium that Ji Man usually uses to hold meetings for a group of fellows. It is not difficult to accommodate so many people.
It's just that as soon as Li Licheng came in, the atmosphere in the room changed a bit. Everyone who was joking just now stopped and looked towards the door.
Li Licheng didn't expect to see these people when he came in, and his face immediately turned pale.
Shopkeeper Liu and Shopkeeper Rong stood behind. Seeing that Shangshu didn't respond, they shouted as if helping Liwei: "You guys are still not polite when you see Mr. Shangshu?"
Ji Man's heart skipped a beat, Shangshu has moved out? Did Liu Ji and Rong Ji want to kill Ji's family regardless of the cost
"Next Jiman, I met Master Shangshu." Ji Man saluted first, and Sun Changyang on the side followed suit: "Master Li."
Lord Li was not as powerful as the shopkeepers thought, but paused, walked up to Xiao Tianyi and Ning Yuxuan and clasped his fists: "I never expected to meet Lord Prime Minister and Lord Hou here."
