There Are Many Thieves With Tricks, Ximen Qing Admits Softness!
"Everyone, you asked me to bribe Yang Yi, but I'm in big trouble!”
Inside Ximen Qing's mansion.
Right now, Xi Men Qing's face was filled with sorrow. It was completely different from bribing Yang Yi a few days ago.
The confidence and arrogance on his face were gone. He was miserable and helpless after being beaten up by Yang Yi.
He gathered these people again and decided to demand an explanation.
"Mr. Rich Ximen, we don't like what you're saying. If you run your business according to the law, even Yang Yi can't do anything to you!”
After Ximen Qing finished speaking, the fat middle-aged man from before was the first to speak.
They felt that this was XiMen Qing's responsibility and had nothing to do with them.
"That's right! If you didn't lack weight and forcefully bought and sold, how could Yang Yi seize the opportunity to seal your shop?”
Seeing that someone objected, he planned to go back on his word.
Another person echoed.
After all, their original intention was not to pay taxes. Now that Ximen Qing was asking for compensation, wasn't he cutting off their flesh?
If he had that money, he might as well just pay the taxes. Why did he have to give it to Ximen Qing?
"Rich man Ximen, the two of them are right. A straight body is not afraid of a crooked shadow!”
Ximen Qing was glaring at the two of them angrily when another gentry chimed in.
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood and almost hit someone on the spot.
He had suffered such a huge loss as a lobbyist. It was fine if these people didn't compensate him, but they actually added insult to injury and accused him of not abiding by the law.
Hearing this, Xi Men Qing suddenly understood.
His business had suffered a blow and was closed. The business of the others must be good.
Thinking of this, Xi Men Qing had a new understanding of these so-called friends.
These people probably wanted him to die, but he actually wanted compensation. It could be considered that he had recognized the true colors of these people.
In his anger, Ximen Qing chased everyone away and decided to admit defeat.
It was better to ask for help than to ask for help from others. Not only would he be rewarded by Yang Yi, he would not do anything unnecessary.
In the end, he had shot himself in the foot.
Thinking that the business of the shop could not be delayed any longer, Xi Men Qing brought his men to the county office again the next day.
"Milord, Xi…Xi Men Qing requests an audience.”
The bailiff came to Yang Yi and bowed as he reported. She was just a little nervous, afraid that Yang Yi would get angry.
After all, Ximen Qing was not liked by Yang Yi.
"Let him in!"
Hearing the report from the bailiff, Yang Yi naturally knew what was going on.
Wu Song's movements were not small. With so many shops sealed, he did not believe that Xi Men Qing could hold on.
Seeing that Yang Yi was not angry, the bailiff heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran out.
A moment later, Ximen Qing appeared in the hall of the yamen again.
"I, Xi Men Qing, pay my respects to the county magistrate!”
Ximen Qing came before Yang Yi. After suppressing the gloominess in his heart, he forced a smile and bowed respectfully.
At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to reap what he sowed.
"If you aren't busy counting money, what business do you have with me?”
Seeing Ximen Qing arrive, Yang Yi did not lower his head to see him.
Instead, he raised his head and revealed a half-smile as he replied lazily.
He didn't put Ximen Qing in his eyes at all.
"Milord, after I return, I will carefully comprehend your teachings. He felt that the taxes owed should be paid in full, so he came to pay them.”
Ximen Qing stood in the hall and looked at Yang Yi's lazy expression.
His face immediately turned red as he replied with a flattering smile. However, this smile was uglier than crying. It was obvious that Ximen Qing did not mean what he said.
Yang Yi sneered in his heart when he heard that Ximen Qing had come to pay the taxes.
This guy was a classic case of not shedding tears until he saw the coffin. After he was dealt a blow, he immediately became extremely obedient.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have done it in the first place.
However, Yang Yi would not let him pass easily. He had already given him a chance, but Ximen Qing didn't cherish it.
"Rich Ximen is wrong. Your shop has been operating recklessly and you will have to pay a fine. Also, the shopkeeper you hired is very problematic. You need to pay a ransom so that they won't be punished.”
Seeing Ximen Qing admit defeat, Yang Yi replied calmly.
He wouldn't let Ximen Qing and the others off easily. Only by beating them up would they be able to develop a sense of law-abiding management.
If he continued to open his illegal shop and bully his customers, would he think that he, the county magistrate, did not exist?
Ximen Qing thought that after paying the taxes, all the problems would be solved.
Who knew that this county magistrate was not easy to deal with. Not only did he have to pay the fine, but he also had to use the money to redeem her.
It was completely a loss.
"Sir, this…"
This sum of money was not small. If he really had to pay it, it would make Ximen Qing's heart ache.
However, he had no choice now, or else he would suffer even greater losses.
"This is a yamen, not a market for bargaining. If you don't hand it over, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Seeing Ximen Qing hesitate, Yang Yi sneered.
After saying that, he decided to chase Ximen Qing out. He couldn't be bothered to talk to him.
"Sir, how much do I have to pay?”
When Ximen Qing noticed Yang Yi's cold expression, he was shocked and decided to accept his punishment immediately.
He had come here to admit defeat. If he missed this chance again, who knew how Yang Yi would deal with him.
"Men, call for Official Liu."
As the county magistrate, he would definitely not care about the fine. He could just call Liu Fu over.
A moment later, the registrar Liu Fulai entered the hall and looked at Ximen Qing in surprise.
Looking at Ximen Qing's bitter face, he immediately understood what was going on.
"Official Liu, Xi Men Qing wants to turn over a new leaf.”
Yang Yi didn't waste time and gestured for Liu Fu to settle the accounts and collect the money. He could just sit by and drink tea.
"Yes, sir! Rich man Ximen, including the tax, fine, ransom, and late fee, you need to pay 750 taels of silver. Of course, copper coins are also fine."
Liu Fulai saw that someone had finally come to pay the tax. He immediately opened the booklet in his hand and shouted at Ximen Qing.
When Ximen Qing heard that he had to pay so much silver, his face turned green.
This was especially so when it was his first time hearing about late fees. He did not understand at all.
After Liu Fu came to explain, he found out that the tax deadline had passed, which was equivalent to Yang Yi collecting interest.
Thinking of Yang Yi's tough methods and his many tricks…
Ximen Qing admitted defeat on the spot and decided to behave himself in the future.
This guy was indeed worthy of being the top scorer. He was completely overestimating himself by playing tricks with him.
He had no choice but to endure his heartache and hand over all the money before he could escape.
He heard that Ximen Qing's shop was reopening and there was a late payment fee.
The rest of the rich men were all scared out of their wits.
They all came to the county government with money and rushed to pay all the taxes.
In just a few days, Yanggu County's exhausted treasury was finally replenished, and there was enough surplus to repair the city walls.
It was easy to get things done with money.
He was so happy that Huang Yisong, the county magistrate, and Liu Fulai, the main book, could not close their mouths.
After Liu Fulai's repair plan was approved by Yang Yi. Yang Yi ordered the city walls to be carefully repaired to better protect the people in the county.
Seeing that Yang Yi had managed those rich men so well, the commoners praised him greatly.
The young county magistrate once again became a hot topic in the streets.
