Brother of the magistrate and concubine?! It’s interesting.

When Jin Jiuyin returned to the inn, she asked someone to inquire. She had a intuition that she could make things happen on this person. Her premonition was correct, and she really found something.

The prefect of Tongcheng had a concubine who was favored. How much did he be favored? Let's put it this way, there were thirty days a month, and he stayed in the concubine's room for twenty days, and even the original wife had to avoid her sharpness. Fortunately, this concubine had no children, otherwise she could do it to heaven.

The concubine had only one brother in her family, so she took him seriously and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was raising him as a son. The prefect, Hou, loved the house and the mistress, naturally took good care of the concubine's brothers, which made him lawless.

The detained shopkeeper Nan this time is related to Wu Ei's failure.

I don’t know who mentioned it. I know that there is a man like Nan Zhanggui, who is very capable and is in charge of the wealth route for the master’s family. Every year, I have to transport a large amount of grain to pass by Tongcheng.

The concubine's heart moved and remembered her mother's brother. If she brought this person to open a shop for her brother to do business, wouldn't she have to worry about having no money to spend in her life?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this idea was good, so I acted coquettishly and foolishly and asked the prefect for the people. Prefect Hou refused at first. As an official in the court, although he was greedy for money, lustful and foolish, he was still a little rational at least.

But within two days, something big happened. His useless brother was brave enough to collude with others to pound out the grain in the granary and sell it, and ran away with his own money.

Where did he go? I don’t know, after searching through the entire Tongcheng, he couldn’t find anyone. In fact, the prefect Hou knew in his heart that he had probably gone back to his hometown. Even if he chased him to his hometown, his money would probably have been squandered. With his parents blocked him and protected him, he could not do anything to his brother.

What should I do if the silver cannot be recovered? Especially when he heard the news that the imperial envoy wanted to patrol the border. If he found that the granary was empty, he would be light after stripping his official uniform, and he would probably lose his head.

Where did he turn out to produce food? He couldn't bear to pay the money by buying food, and he was afraid of the riots of money, so his hair was almost gone.

The master gave him an idea, "Don't there be ready-made food in the city now? If you are short of food, then the shopkeeper Jin will arrive. Isn't it just that he is delivering food to you? It can be seen that it is God's will."

The prefect Hou was naturally moved, but hesitated, "Can it work?"

The master disagreed, "Isn't it just a merchant? No matter how rich you have, you have to obediently listen to the government? I don't think his master's family looks like he has a backer, otherwise he would be able to give up so many benefits every year to you?"

When the prefect Hou thought about it, the master said again: "Didn't my aunt take a fancy to Storekeeper Jin? Let's just find a name to deduct food and take people, who dares to say more?"

The prefect Hou was persuaded.

It would be easier to figure out the inside. Jin Jiuyin tapped the table with her finger and ordered: "Prepare a gift, I'll visit the prefect."

In the aftermath of the other person's territory, there is no way to be polite first and then soldiers? What's more, if it can be solved with money, why should I use a knife and a gun? She is a girl and every family is timid.

"Who? Who did you say please see me?" The prefect Hou was teasing her concubine in the study. When he heard the slave report, he couldn't help but raise his head in surprise.

"Go back to the master and say he is the young master of the Jin family."

Prefect Jin Hou suddenly remembered the shopkeeper Jin who was detained by him. His face sank three points and waved his hand impatiently, "What a cat or a dog, I won't see you, please send it away."

"Yes, the slave will send him away now."

The prefect Hou suddenly changed his mind, "Come back, go, lead the person in."

The concubine immediately stopped obeying, "Master, I don't care. When will you promise someone to give me the one? I have packed up my shop and waited to open the door to do business."

"Why, I'm afraid that the master will regret it?" Hou Gong approached the concubine and patted her tender little hands, "Don't worry, your master keeps his word."

"Then why do you still want to meet this young boss?" The concubine didn't understand.

The prefect Hou twisted his beard and looked like he was under control. "I'll listen to the purpose of this young master." In fact, he was thinking in his heart that the Jin family had money, and whether the young master had given him money.

"Really? Then don't forget to promise someone."

"I will definitely not forget it." The prefect Hou patted the concubine and signaled her to go to the inner room to escape.

Jin Jiuyin really gave away silver. After meeting her, she explained her purpose. "I hope the small business that Caomin does at home is proud of her." She pushed an exquisite box over.

The prefect Hou glanced at the box, but did not take action, and said righteously: "As a court official, I have the responsibility to protect the people, how can I abuse the law for personal gain? You are making things difficult for me!"

He looks like a master of the sky.

Jin Jiuyin thought he was farting, but he complimented, "Sir Qingming! But Caomin is really a serious businessman, I hope he will bother to find out." He took out an envelope from his sleeve and pressed it on the box.

The envelope is thick and there are probably a lot of silver notes inside.

The prefect Hou's eyebrows moved, and his face was kind, "Young master, don't worry, I will find out clearly. If so, that official will restore your innocence."

It sounds nice, but it is just a ruling.

Jin Jiuyin had expected this to happen, but was not disappointed. Instead, she said: "The grass people will cooperate with the government to investigate. You see, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the adults are working very hard. They don't want food and herbs anymore. They are filial to them. Can adults be compatible with each other and let the grass people take them back first?"

Her real purpose is to seek people.

Under Jin Jiuyin's earnest gaze, the prefect Hou shook his head slowly, "Young master is really good at raising problems for me!"

"I really can't be able to be compatible?" Jin Jiuyin said.

"It's not that I am not incompatible with others, but that I am not favorable to personal gain. I hope the young master will understand it." The prefect Hou looked very embarrassed.

"The grass people understand." Jin Jiuyin was so straightforward, "Goodbye." He picked up the box and envelope on the small table and turned around and left.

Prefect Hou was shocked by this operation. When he realized that Jin Jiuyin had already left the yard.

"You are rude!" The governor Hou was so angry that he slapped the table, "It's outrageous."

Scholars, farmers, industrialists and commerce, a lowly merchant, and a boy who has not grown all over his hair, dares to play with him? If you don’t teach him a lesson, you won’t know that the world is high!

"I am angry." Prefect Hou gasped, "Come, come, come." He shouted loudly.

"Master, what are your instructions?" The slaves around and around ran over quickly.

"Go and find out where that kid is staying?" He still wanted to walk out of Tongcheng? There was no gate.

"Yes, I'll do it now."

Even so, the prefect Hou still couldn't relieve his anger and had a gloomy face, wishing he could tear people apart.
