Chapter 13 Arrest

The news of porridge being served in front of the "Yaojiazheng Store" was soon spread. Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian had just loaded the lees in the car, and the two large buckets of porridge were already bottoming out. As we came late, we had to wait to share the remaining lees in the restaurant.

At this moment, a shout came from outside the crowd: "Ah, you thieves, you really buy lees from here to make wine!"

As they spoke, Wu Kejiu and Cao Jucheng brought a few servants and walked over while shouting.

Du Zhongxiao looked at the person and said coldly: "The county is just not allowed to use wine lees to make vinegar. I didn't say that even wine lees are not allowed to be bought, right?"

Wu Kejiu circled around the car that was pulling the lees and said, "Oh, what are you talking about? You don't even have vinegar to brew, but you dare to use the lees to make wine! If you make wine privately, do you know if you violate the ban on alcohol? There are so many things that you want to behead you!"

Du Zhongxiao looked at Wu Kejiu and said disdainfully: "Who told you that we made wine? Can your wine be made in one day? We just drain some wine from the lees! If you don't brew privately, what kind of wine is prohibited!"

"Nothing, nonsense, nonsense! The wine that has been brewed in Yaojiazheng Store for many years, how could it not be drained? I will wait for you to buy the lees and then drain the wine! It must be a trick to brew it privately at home!"

Wu Kejiu said as he returned to Cao Jucheng and said, "Cousin, please watch here, don't let these thieves run away! I'll go to the county to report the first time. The Du family and Han Jiajiajiajiajiajiajiao store conspired to sell wine brewing criminals. Their store sells a lot of wine a day, which is enough to behead him!"

Cao Jucheng said: "Cousin just go, I will watch here."

Wu Kejiu nodded, took two steps and came back, and said to Han Yueniang, "Miss, your family has committed the crime of beheading. Why are you still standing with them? Come quickly and follow me, the magistrate will say good things for you and save your life!"

Han Yueniang said shyly and annoyedly: "What are you talking about here? We do business well, don't violate the ban on drinking, but will cause trouble in the next place!"

"It's over, it's over! I'm sorry, such a young lady!" Wu Kejiu sighed and strode away.

Du Zhongxiao watched Wu Kejiu leave and whispered to Manager Tang beside him: "Supervisor, please send someone to my house to inform my father about what happened here. The Wu family recognizes someone in the county, so don't let them harm him."

Manager Tang agreed and sent a servant to the Du family to report the news like a flying man.

Watching the people leave, Du Zhongxiao said to Han Lian: "Dad, let's just pull the cart back. If the Wu family dares to stop him, then argue with them."

Han Lian knew clearly that the wine he sold was made from wine lees and did not have private brews, so he was confident. Whether the wine sold in the foot shop was banned depends on what the county said. From the law alone, there was no private brew, so he naturally did not violate the ban. Buying wine lees to make wine is actually similar in nature to selling wine on credit, but the profit margin is larger. However, when it comes to alcohol sensitivity, it is difficult to guarantee how to break the county.

Du Xun was a juren, so he could go directly to the magistrate and argue with him. If the unfairness in the county was also allowed to go to the state and meet the magistrate directly. Anyway, as long as you bite the law of the alcohol ban to death, there would be no major problems.

The fish belly is white in the east, and more and more people gathered in front of the "Yao Family Store". Most of the people gathered here are the people who make a living by using the lees here on weekdays. They were originally disgusted with the Du family and Han family buying the lees here, which reduced their taste. Unexpectedly, the two families are serving porridge here again today, and their reputation just turned out to be good.

Du Yueniang held a spoon in her hand, and while holding the remaining bottom of the bucket, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was about to cry.

The person who was receiving the porridge saw it and yelled in his heart: "The Wu puppy is really not a thing! Didn't we hear that? The puppy coveted the beauty of the Han lady and deliberately did not give them wine to them, and wanted to cut off their livelihood. Now they are falsely accusing them of brewing private wine, and their hearts are really vicious. Don't be afraid, when the government comes, we will all testify with you, where is there any problem of brewing private wine!"

In the hustle and bustle, Wu Kejiu brought a man and a few helpers in front of the yamen and rushed over.

When they arrived at the door of the "Yaojiazheng Store", Wu Kejiu pointed to a cart of wine lees and said, "Look at the festival level, this is the evidence that the Han family and Dujia made wine privately! They pulled the wine lees back, then brewed them again, and sold them for wine. It was not a violation of the ban on alcohol! Such a big cart is enough to cut off your head!"

Chen Jiejie got closer and didn't even look at it. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, take the car down and catch people!"

When Du Zhongxiao heard this, he was furious and stepped forward to stop him and said, "Why? You will arrest someone as soon as you come!"

Chen Jiejia didn't raise his eyelids and said casually: "Just make wine by yourself, such a big cart is not a death sentence!"

Du Zhongxiao couldn't believe it. He looked back at the car and whispered loudly: "You can see clearly that it is wine lees, not wine! But I heard that the court has a ban on alcohol and vinegar in prefectures and counties. When did I hear that there is a ban on alcohol? "

Chen Jie-level boss was impatient: "Let me ask you, what are you doing when you buy wine lees?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "I'm not hiding the truth, I went back to filter some residual wine, and the remaining wine lees were used as feed. The young man's house recently raised a few fat pigs, and they all depended on these wine lees to raise. Why? The county is not allowed to buy wine lees?"

Chen Jiewei was stunned and looked at Wu Kejiu beside him and said, "What, do you buy wine lees and go back to raise pigs?"

"That's natural!" Du Zhongxiao spread his hands. "Otherwise, what should we do for buying lees? Although we are poor in the next family, we won't have to survive by eating lees. Of course, some of the remaining wine in the lees are drained by the way, and they are sold in the Hanjiajiajiajiajia store."

"Well, it's not for making wine! - Don't talk nonsense, catch people, catch people!" Chen Jie-level boss was impatient.

Du Zhongxiao was angry and his voice became higher without realizing it: "The words should be explained clearly. If you touch a word for brewing, you will really violate the ban on wine. The lees in the restaurant are not clean. We buy them and filter them out and then filter them out, but there is no private brew."

Chen Jiexie said: "You guy is not clear. Why don't you filter the lees in the restaurant cleanly? Waiting to sell them to you, and let you go back to filter the wine? It must be a trick. Your guy must be brewing wine privately at home!"

"Without any evidence, how dare you talk nonsense at the festival level! I have my own wonderful method to filter wine from the lees, and never brew it privately!"

Chen Jiewei collected Wu Kejiu's money and had a very good relationship with the Wu family on weekdays. This time, he came to find trouble for Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian. He didn't listen to Du Zhongxiao's words, but just ordered people to be arrested.

People in the yamen have many identities. There are public officials, such as Chen Jiewei, who have formal responsibilities with their salary, and at the front of the yamen, who are superior households in the county, and archers and other names. For example, Du Zhongxiao had formal identities in his previous life, auxiliary police, temporary workers, and people in the public office. From ancient times to the present, this kind of thing has been the same.

Chen Jiejie was not an official, and he had no right to arrest people, but he was just scared by the name of checking alcohol.

After listening to Chen Jie's instructions, several archers in front of the yamen rushed forward and tied Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian.

When Han Yueniang saw this, she walked up and said, "If you don't see the official documents of the yamen or the summons, why do you dare to tie someone up?"

Chen Jiewei waved his hand impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense! If you violate the ban on drinking, you don't need those! - Young people, catch the people back!"

After saying that, he took his subordinates to tie Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian up and pushed and shoved towards the yamen. Only Han Yueniang was left, staring at the backs of several people, at a loss.

When Director Tang saw this, he felt unbearable and said to Han Yueniang softly: "Miss, I have sent someone to find Du Juren. He is a scholar and has sent a scholar to the village tribute. You can go to see an official. I see that Chen Jie's place is coming this time, but the county may not know."

Han Yueniang cried, so she had to help the empty porridge buckets to the car and wait in front of the "Yaojiazheng Store".

Around the crowd watching the fun, some stayed here to watch Han Yueniang, and some followed Chen Jiejie and a group of people to watch the fun. Some people watched it while watching, and Chen Jiejie did not dare to tamper on the road.

Chen Jiewei took people to escort Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian, but did not return to the county government office. He arrived at a small courtyard not far from the county government office, and asked his subordinates to drive away the people who followed him and locked them in.

After entering the courtyard, Du Zhongxiao saw Chen Jiewei leaving and said loudly: "It is better to resolve enemies than to make them. Since you arrest us, you should go to see the county magistrate or the county magistrate. It is not a way to keep them here. My father was a Jinshi from the village who had sent them to the county tribute. He sent them to the county with a complaint. When the county magistrate asked about it, it was not a joke. You have an old friend with the Wu family and we are here privately. I am afraid that we will not be able to explain it at that time."

Chen Jiewei sneered: "You guys are so stingy. You are brewing wine and I caught you right away. What else can I say? Now you are here, I will go find all kinds of evidence. When there is physical evidence and you will get your confession, you will go to see the official."

Du Zhongxiao was not willing to believe such nonsense. Now he can basically confirm that it must be Wu Kejiu who gave him the benefits, arrested Han Lian and locked him up here, and then they came forward to cheat the two families. The people were afraid of officials, and as long as they wore public uniforms, they were in the government, so they could tell whether they were officials or officials or bad. These people have done too much of this kind of thing on weekdays, but today they still do it ordinary and don’t take it seriously.

Seeing that Chen Jiewei was about to leave in a hurry, Du Zhongxiao wanted to leave time for his father and said, "Jijiewei, you are not a county magistrate, and this place is not a court. What physical evidence did you find or what confession did you ask for? When you really get to the county magistrate, you will set up a private court and prohibit the people from being detained. This crime cannot be ruled."
