Chapter 453 The powerful prefect

Wen Tiren has more means than Zhou Yanru, establishing the image of a lonely minister. In the face of impeachment like a tide of the government and the country, he has always adhered to a "fair" attitude without any excuse.

Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen naturally favored Wen Tiren. Many people were implicated by Huang Shaojie, dismissed from office and demoted more than 30 people.

On the seventh year of Chongzhen, on the seventh day of the third lunar month, Suzhou Prefecture.

The first pie number of the Zhou Chamber of Commerce, the Zhou Chamber of Commerce, was established in Suzhou Prefecture.

After nearly two years of development, the number of piao has already reached a considerable scale and is quite famous in Suzhou Prefecture. All merchants who come and go from south to north know about it.

The one who manages this important ticket account is Shangguan Xun's brother, Chen Yunchang.

At this time, Chen Yunchang was checking the account books in his room. There were friends walking around outside, and there were endless customers coming to save and withdraw money from the counter in front.

Not long after, an accountant came in and frowned and said, "The shopkeeper has exchanged more recently and saved less, and something is wrong."

Chen Yunchang put down his pen and said, "Well, I noticed that someone should be maliciously running. The time is probably not yet. By the way, the letter from the capital city has made us more cautious recently, and someone is going to deal with us."

The accountant was startled and said, "Who is it? Who dares to touch the boss's business?"

Zhou Zheng was dismissed from office and had spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, so they naturally knew it.

Chen Yunchang said silently for a while, "The inventory is still 30,000 taels, which should be enough. You and I know the address of the silver warehouse. You can go to the capital and just pretend to be a fun one, and the silver ticket number will be released."

The accountant heard the smell, took two steps forward, and whispered: "Shopkeeper, is it really so dangerous?"

Chen Yunchang pinched his eyebrows and said, "Just be in case."

The accountant nodded and said, "I'll pack up my things and leave immediately."

Chen Yunchang said: "Be careful."

The accountant responded solemnly and turned around and left.

Chen Yunchang stood up, turned around and opened the window. There was a river behind him. Many people nicknamed it "Little Qinhuai". It is the famous river of fireworks. Going up further, it is the location of Suzhou Prefecture.

Chen Yunchang looked at the direction of Suzhou Prefecture, was silent for a moment, and then continued to write about his affairs with a pen.

At noon, in a brothel on the other side of the river, three men with businessmen looked like men accompanied a middle-aged man sitting upright and drinking.

A fat man with big head and big ears and a fat face, with small eyes rolling around, looking at the middle-aged man, and said, "Mr. Kou, this Zhou family's ticket number is so rich that their kuyin has at least 300,000..."

Another man who looked like a businessman quickly continued, "This is nothing. They actually ignored Lord Kou and didn't understand basic politeness. They didn't pay a penny of the money they should pay!"

The third said: "Mr. Kou, Zhou's Piaohao and Zhou's Chamber of Commerce are really rich. Have you heard of it? Those salt merchants have to pay them millions of taels of protection every year, which is for nothing. Why do they? You are the magistrate of Suzhou!"

Kou Qin looked indifferent, took a sip of wine and said, "What do you want?"

The three of them looked at each other and said hurriedly: "Mr. Kou, let's not hide it from you. Zhou's Chamber of Commerce, there are many industries under the Piao number. If you want money, please give it to us."

Kou Qin glanced at the three of them and said, "Okay."

The three of them were overjoyed and quickly toasted.

Kou Qin's plain response was naturally not because of the filial piety of several merchants.

At first, Zhou Zhengyun had already collapsed, and the Zhou Chamber of Commerce was still ignorant and did not understand the rules at all.

Secondly, he also wanted to show his loyalty to some of the big men in the capital. In addition to money, he wanted to attack Zhou Zhengyun.

Kou Qin was drinking and said to himself: "If you want to blame, you, Zhou Zhengyun, blame you for being too ugly and you don't know how to divide the food."

Kou Qin made up his mind and returned to the yamen after drinking.

In the afternoon, before the door was opened, a team of yamen runners from Suzhou Prefecture surrounded the yamen in front and back.

The yamen runner kicked open the door, Kou Qin took the lead and walked into the ballot with a proud look on his face.

It is difficult to have secrets in the business circle. Before Kou Qin came, many people came around the Piaohao.

Yang Huyi and Yang Huzhi brothers sat in the teahouse and quietly looked at the gate of the Zhou family's ticket number.

Yang Huzhi still had the same zombie face. He looked at Kou Qin entering and said lightly: "Brother, do you think Zhou Zhengyun still has the ability to fight back?"

Yang Huyi's legs have become lame in recent years. He leaned on a crutch and looked at the gate of the Zhou family's ticket surrounded by the yamen runners and said, "We have never given any money, and we have never exceeded the rules. Even if Zhou Zhengyun has the power to fight back, it has nothing to do with us."

"What if he didn't?" Yang Huzhi asked immediately.

Zhou Zheng was so cruel that they were ruthless. For several years, the Yang family couldn't breathe and Zhou Zheng took away his big head. How could they be willing?

Yang Hu leaned on crutches with his hands, his eyes were quiet and cold, but his tone was very calm and plain: "Don't worry, wait for half a year."

Yang Huzhi nodded incongruity. They were afraid of Zhou Zheng. They took advantage of Zhou Zheng's difficulties before, but Zhou Zheng fought back strongly, which became their nightmare.

It is not just the Yang family. The minds of more than a dozen salt merchants controlled by Zhou Zheng are almost all there. Some are smiling happily, some are gloomy, some are ordinary, some are full of confidence, and some are sharpened.

They stared at the ticket number as if they were staring at a piece of fat meat, their eyes flashing with a greedy luster.

Inside the ticket number, the shopkeeper Shen Yunchang watched Kou Qin lead people in, without any panic, raised his hand and said, "The Caomin has seen Lord Kou, but I don't know what Lord Kou wants to surround my ticket number?"

Kou Qin did not speak, and the executioner of the execution room beside him snorted coldly and said sternly: "The Zhou family bill number was established without approval, tax evasion, and fraud of depositors, which is actually lawless and fraudulent. It will be sealed today!"

Kou Qin sat on the chair, blowing tea gently, as if he had not heard the words of Zheng Shu.

Shen Yunchang looked calm and said, "Our ticket number is approved by the Ministry of Revenue. If Lord Kou doesn't know, I can show you the approval document to the Lord."

Xing Shu sneered and said, "This is Suzhou, Manager Shen, I advise you to be aware of your circumstances. Hand over the account book and open the warehouse door, and don't make it too ugly."

Shen Yunchang looked at the book of punishment, glanced at Kou Qin, who was alive and said lightly: "Mr. Kou, you might as well say clearly if you have any conditions. Our ticket number can be achieved until now, and there is no one above."

Kou Qin suddenly looked cold, put down his teacup, stood up, stared at Shen Yunchang and said, "I am following the law. So what if there are people above you? I will now copy your Zhou family ticket number, and then I will participate in the book of the person behind you. Tell me, who is the person above you?"

Xing Shu sneered and thought to himself that Shen Yunchang was really ignorant. At this time, he actually dared to slander the tiger.

The three businessmen outside who persuaded Kou Qin to take action were waiting in the teahouse not far away, smiling.

If they take a bite of such a large piece of fat meat in the Zhou Chamber of Commerce, their wealth will at least double!

There are still many people who are also ready to move and are already discussing how to get a share of this gluttonous feast.

Chen Yunchang saw that Kou Qin had made up his mind to eat them, and his expression was a little ugly, saying, "Mr. Kou, do you really think our boss is just falling like this? How did the eunuch party come? Didn't our boss come over? You just flew so far and determined that our boss will not make a comeback?"

Anyone who understands it knows who is behind the Zhou Chamber of Commerce.

Kou Qin was naturally very clear, and snorted a little impatiently, saying, "I will say it again. I act according to the law. Even if I make trouble in the court, I will not be afraid! Hand over the account book and open the bank treasury. Don't let me force you!"
