Chapter 439 Zhang Wanzhang was stabbed in the back
The magistrate said, "No, no, I am Zhang Wanjie. I have received great favor from Heaven and the training of Heshen and Your Excellency. How can I not serve you with all my strength? Your Excellency Mo, what do you think?"
Mo Li laughed and said, "Ahahahahaha, that's right, well said. Your Excellency said it very well. It seems that your county is truly well governed."
After saying that, he looked at Du Xiaoyue and said, "Xiaoyue, you've been shouting for a long time, you must be hungry, right?"
Du Xiaoyue nodded.
Mo Li turned his head and looked at Zhang Wanjie, "Hey, Guixian County, do you have any good restaurants here? We want to eat there."
Zhang Wanjie said, "If Lord Mo wants to eat good food, why bother looking for it in the market? I can't boast about anything else, but I have some top-notch chefs. Whether Lord Mo wants sweet or salty, spicy or sour, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. Passersby have never found fault with my chefs."
Mo Li smiled and nodded.
Du Xiaoyue said, "Hey, Master Zhang, you've done a good job as an official. You haven't offended your superiors, and you haven't been criticized by the people."
Mo Li looked at her and smiled, "Xiao Yue, you can't say that. County Magistrate Zhang does have good intentions."
After saying this, he looked at Zhang Wanjie and said, "Zhang County Magistrate, I have a problem. Whenever I go to a place, if I don't try the local specialties and snacks, I will feel the regret of returning empty-handed. Haha. If your county has no official business, how about we go together?"
Zhang Wanjie smiled and said okay.
Just getting ready to leave.
Mo Li continued, "Your Excellency, your official uniform looks scary to the common people. How about we go in plain clothes?"
Zhang Wanjie was hesitant.
Mo Li continued, "It's just the three of us, without any attendants or formalities. We can just let loose and have a good chat."
Zhang Wanjie was a little frightened.
……
The shopkeeper poured the wine at the counter, carried it to the table for the three people, and said, "The wine is here."
Mo Li said, "Shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper responded.
Mo Li continued, "I'm from another place and I also run a restaurant. I want to open a branch here. Can you help me?"
The shopkeeper said, "Open a restaurant here?"
Zhang Wanjie was about to stand up.
Mo Li held his hand and said something casual.
Then he said, "Boss, I know you're afraid I'll steal your business, right? Well, I'll go ask someone else."
The shopkeeper said, "Sir, business is always good, and it's good for everyone. I don't mean what you say. I advise you to open a restaurant in another county. You can't stay here."
Mo Li asked doubtfully, "Hey, why can't it stay here?"
The shopkeeper said, "To tell you the truth, I see that you are my colleague, and I cannot bear to see you fall into the pit of fire. The county magistrate here is not to be desired."
Zhang Wanjie looked at the shopkeeper angrily.
Upon hearing this, Du Xiaoyue said, "Oh? Boss, what's so unacceptable about this county magistrate?"
The shopkeeper whispered, "Our county magistrate was actually a gangster in this county. He gathered dozens of people, fought and killed people, amassed some money, and bought an official position. Later, I heard that he fawned over Heshen and became even more lawless. Since taking office, he has only known two things: robbery and murder."
Mo Li said in surprise, "Oh, that's amazing." He grabbed Zhang Wanjie's hand.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Taxes in the Great Xuan Kingdom are fixed. Since he arrived here, my small shop alone has levied dozens of taxes. If I'm even a little slow, the officers will lock me up and take me to the government office. Once they put me in the shackles, it's a real pain in the ass."
His face showed fear.
Obviously, I feel a little scared when I think about it now.
