The four of Jin Ruiyang obviously didn''t expect Jiang Fan to start suddenly. For a moment, their faces were full of consternation.


    However, when I soon recovered, I had to ask questions loudly.


    But before they shouted, they all got a few heavy punches and were almost beaten on the spot.


    Seeing Jin Ruiyang''s four dead dogs, they were directly dragged out of the office room, and the other officials were full of shock.


    He widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Fan. He was also frightened by Jiang Fan''s posture of starting when he didn''t agree.


    "Don''t look at me like that. I wanted to be reasonable and see if I could convince people with virtue. But Lord Jin obviously didn''t have this Kung Fu. He also told me very clearly that he couldn''t be reasonable with him and wouldn''t listen. In that case, of course, I can only do it."


    Jiang Fan put down his legs on the table and stood up from the seat.


    With a smile on his face, he continued: "the sudden arrest and questioning of Lord Jin and other four people mainly focus on the extension of Zhou Tingyu''s case, so you don''t have to worry. I don''t mean to expand. But Zhou Tingyu''s case has too much influence after all, and we should make the whole case as reasonable as possible. What do you think?"


    Listening to Jiang Fan''s explanation, other officials were secretly relieved.


    Because the fact that Jin Ruiyang and other four people didn''t give gifts to Jiang fan is well known to all officials of the whole government.


    It is also because Jin Ruiyang has been an official in Heyang city government for too long and has been following Gu Yan behind, so he has never really seen Jiang Fan.


    So that after the collective gift giving, Jin Ruiyang, without any expression, ridiculed other officials who gave gifts, and his attitude was extremely arrogant, which made other officials feel the same resentment.


    At this moment, other officials were happy to see Jin Ruiyang taken away on the spot.


    Although the officials of Heyang city government can be said to belong to the category of community in terms of interests, this does not mean that they have no contradictions with each other.


    The emergence of Jiang Fan broke an inherent situation and began to make these contradictions that had always been suppressed gradually surface.


    "What Cheng Wei said is that judge Zhou''s case has been pending. Although it has been decided for judge Zhou, the case itself has not been officially closed, and it has indeed caused a very bad impact in the government. If it can be closed at this time, it will only be good for the government, not bad."


    An official replied with a smile.


    Other officials also opened their mouth one after another, and their attitude was very consistent. They expressed their support and approval for Jiang Fan''s sudden move to take people.


    "Since you can understand, it''s best. I''ll go to the court to try the case. If you are interested, you can go and watch. The final disposal result of the officials still needs to be verified by the imperial court, so today''s trial can only determine the nature of the case and whether you are guilty."


    Jiang Fan said with a smile and walked outside the office.


    Without any hesitation, the officials hurriedly followed suit


    ……


    ……


    Su Mei Niang sent the last guest out of the shop, looked at the time, and began to order the servant girl to clean up the shop and prepare to close.


    The satin shop only needs to be open for one day, and no one will buy cloth at night.


    Business has been good these two days. Since she got the compensation from the government, Su Meiniang calculated the cost of the shop itself and slightly reduced the price of cloth.


    The price after the reduction is obviously more attractive to the people nearby, so that the trading in these two days has risen by at least 30% than before.


    Su Meiniang was very grateful for this obvious change, so when the street patrol yamen came to collect the city management fee, Su Meiniang gave it very happily.


    Not to mention the attitude of those yamen patrolling the streets, they are all smiling, which makes people feel very happy.


    But if there are happy things, there will be bad things.


    What bothers Su Meiniang is that not all shop managers think that such urban management fees must be paid as a matter of course.


    For example, fumanlou, just opposite her silk and satin shop, today directly rejected the request of the street patrol Yamen to collect urban management fees.


    Su Mei Niang knew that behind the Fuman building was supported by an official in the government.


    Because the shopkeeper of fumanlou never hid it, and even often regarded it as a capital to show off.


    In the past, when the nearby stores needed to pay high protection fees, fumanlou was not within the scope of payment. Now the protection fee has become an urban management fee, and the amount is only one tenth of the original. Unexpectedly, fumanlou still refused to pay.


    So Su Mei Niang was a little angry.


    "Hey, what''s up? Even if they don''t pay it, the street patrol yamen can''t help us. What if they change Xincheng captain? Our boss is the city guard! He is the confidant of the city guard! Can the city captain be bigger than the city guard no matter how big he is?"


    The shopkeeper of fumanlou stood at the door of the restaurant, pinching his waist and shouting loudly.


    Some of the shopkeepers of other shops around gathered around the shopkeeper fumanlou and flattered him. Most of them stayed in their own shop and looked on coldly.


    "We fumanlou have never paid the original protection fee. Now we have changed the name, and of course we still can''t pay it. Even if you are dead hearted, do you really think that Cheng Wei can cover the sky with only one hand? Although he is tough, in fact, he must compromise with other old men. I''ve seen a lot of such things."


    The shopkeeper of fumanlou continued with a proud smile: "otherwise, why should he reduce the monthly fee to one tenth of the original? Is it because of worry? Do you really think he doesn''t want to charge more? Don''t be silly, are there officials who don''t love money in this world?"


    The other shopkeepers gathered around the shopkeeper of fumanlou kept nodding in agreement.


    The shopkeeper of fumanlou enjoyed the feeling of stars supporting the moon.


    While the shopkeeper of Fuman building was standing in front of the building to give directions, a team of street patrol yamen soldiers trotted to Fuman building under the leadership of a constable.


    "After receiving the notice from the superior, Fuman building has potential safety hazards and the health has not reached the business standard, so it is temporarily sealed up for rectification. When the rectification is completed and when the business is resumed."


    The constable said without expression and waved directly. The patrol yamen immediately rushed into the Fuman building with a seal.


    The shopkeeper of fumanlou looked stunned and said, "safety... Hidden dangers? Hygiene... Standards? What do you mean? Zhao Yan! Zhao Zhukuai! Don''t you know who our owner of fumanlou is! Dare to seal the building! Are you crazy?"


    "I think it''s you who''s really crazy?"


    Zhao Yan said with a sneer.
