Chapter 72 The shop is settled! Teach the yamen runners a lesson

As the sun sets, Zhao Junning is still writing down the rouge formula in the shop. He says to himself, "Fortunately, the manufacture of medicine and rouge are similar. These will be the first batch of rouge for the shop."

After writing down all the rouge recipes, she looked up at the sky: "It's getting dark." She walked out of the shop, closed the door, turned around and saw Li Ziyan waiting for her.

"It seems that today went well. Didn't I ask Mo Yu to follow you? Where is he?" Li Ziyan asked. Zhao Junning approached Li Ziyan and said, "I asked him to go back first. I am researching some rouge formulas here."

Li Ziyan took Zhao Junning's hand and said, "Oh, let's go home."

"okay."

Then he asked, "How was your time in the county government today? Did it go well?" Li Ziyan looked ahead without saying anything, and the two returned to the mansion in silence. After entering the house, Li Ziyan hugged Zhao Junning for a long time. Zhao Junning gently patted Li Ziyan's back to comfort him silently.

"What's wrong? Did you get wronged in the government office?" Zhao Junning asked.

Li Ziyan said, "It turns out that being an official is really tiring. Today I finally understand how hard it is for my uncle to climb the officialdom." The two sat down.

Zhao Junning asked, "Are you going to give up?" Li Ziyan thought for a moment and shook his head, saying, "No, I will climb up for the people, for you, for my parents. I will climb higher and dig out those who only care about enjoying themselves and exploiting the people one by one."

"So those people didn't listen to you when you were in the government office today?"

"They are all rich kids who come here to have fun. But I have already thought of a way to deal with them." Li Ziyan forced a smile and looked at Zhao Junning, then asked: "Now that you have arranged the store, are you going to recruit workers tomorrow? Do you need my help?"

Zhao Junning shook her head and said, "No need. The Rouge Shop will soon be stable, and I have already decided what business to run in the other shop." Li Ziyan asked, "What?"

"This shop is bigger than the Rouge Shop. It's a big shop. I plan to do the restaurant business. This shop is big, and there's a small shop outside where I can sell food."

After hearing this, Li Ziyan smiled and said, "It seems that you will really become Boss Zhao in the future! My wife is amazing." Zhao Junning smiled happily, "Master Li, thank you for the compliment. By the way, how are you going to deal with them tomorrow?"

Li Ziyan said, "They think I am too young to handle the matter. Tomorrow is the first day of the court session. Someone will definitely come to the court to appeal for justice. Then I will have a solution."

"But how do you know someone will definitely go to the yamen tomorrow?" Zhao Junning was a little confused. Li Ziyan slowly explained, "Today when I came out of the county yamen, I saw a few people staring at me. They looked inside the yamen from time to time, so I thought they must be watching to see if I was troubled by the yamen runners. But I came out intact, so they were sure that I was eating and living with these officials, so someone will definitely come tomorrow."

Zhao Junning nodded seriously after hearing this: "So that's how it is." Then he smiled meaningfully: "My dear, you have set a big trap for people. When someone seeks justice, those officials with sticks have to beat the ground and open the court. This is the beginning of listening to you. You agree to help the person seeking justice, and they have no choice but to agree because you are the leader. This is the second step for them to listen to you, and they will have to listen to you from now on."

Then he said, "My dear, you are quite smart!"

Li Ziyan smiled and said, "Your husband is extremely smart, which is beyond description, but your wife, you are amazing every time you figure out something or other of my thoughts."

Zhao Junning said: "That's right, husband and wife are of one mind."

Li Ziyan moved closer and lowered his voice: "Then do you want to be more united?" Zhao Junning's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Li Ziyan leaned close to her ear and said: "Junning, don't be afraid. If you are willing to tell me, if you are still afraid now, I will endure it for a month, but after a month, I won't be able to endure it anymore." He then smiled and looked at Zhao Junning.

Zhao Junning nodded and replied softly: "Yeah."

"Miss, you found the workers today." Fuling said to Zhao Junning. Zhao Junning looked at them and nodded, saying, "Okay." Then he said to the women and men, "You all came here voluntarily. I am very grateful. Next, I will select three people to be the masters of making rouge. So you must have a good memory."

Then Zhao Junning walked into the shop and said to Fuling, "Let them come in one by one." Fuling said, "Yes, young ladies."

Zhao Junning put a piece of paper with a long article on it. Neither of them spoke, and the woman who came in read the article carefully. In this way, twenty people read the article one after another.

Fuling walked out of the shop and said three names: "He Mengmei, Song Pan, Shan Tao, you three come in." After the three went in, the others said: "Miss Fuling, these three have gone in, what about us?" Fuling smiled gently and said: "Miss said, don't worry."

In the shop, "You three have good memories. I have a rouge formula. I'll give each of you a portion to make rouge. We will officially open the shop next month. Do you have any other questions?"

He Mengmei asked: "Boss, I want to know what are the benefits of making rouge?"

Feng Mengmei asked what everyone wanted to know. Zhao Junning smiled and said, "Yes, I like to speak my mind. A rouge-making master must have a good memory and strong ability. Before I know your ability, my condition is that your monthly salary will be higher. I will talk about the future conditions when the time comes."

Zhao Junning's rigor gave the three more motivation. The three said in unison: "Then we will listen to the boss." Zhao Junning walked out of the shop and said: "I can see that I am in a hurry. The shop will open in a month, so you should understand what I mean. The restaurant also needs waiters, but..."

Some of them said: "Boss, I can cook. I used to be the chef of Prince Yan's Mansion."

"I can do that, too. I used to be a cook at Lian Xiang Restaurant."

"..."

This went on for a long time, and Zhao Junning had hired waiters for the restaurant, no more, no less than twenty people.

"Weiwei...Wuwu..." The weak voice of the court opening.

In the government office, "Sir, please make a decision for us." A man knelt on the ground and cried. Li Ziyan said seriously, "Tell me what grievances you have."

The man cried, "Sir, my wife passed away the day before yesterday and was just buried. My youngest son was poisoned and is still being treated at home." Li Ziyan slapped the wake-up wood and said angrily, "Who is so bold as to poison?"

"Please help me, sir." The man kowtowed. Li Ziyan glanced at the yamen runners and said, "Don't worry, I will help you."

The yamen runners didn't expect that they would be so disrespectful to Li Ziyan and dare to take on this case. After saying this, Li Ziyan didn't forget to look at the expressions on the faces of the yamen runners around him.

In the evening, Li Ziyan came out of the government office and headed towards the Rouge Shop. He was surrounded by eight masked men. Li Ziyan tilted his head to look at them. The eight men started fighting. Although Li Ziyan defeated the eight men due to the large number of people, he was also injured. Mo Yu and Fei Zhou, who were hiding on the side, took a few people borrowed from Yang Chuanli and went forward to tie up the eight men. Li Ziyan said, "Take them to the government office."

When they arrived at the government office, Li Ziyan pulled off the masks of the eight people. They were indeed the officials of the government office. The eight people gathered together and were a little afraid of Li Ziyan. Li Ziyan put his hands on his waist and asked, "How is it, do you accept it?" Mo Yu angrily scolded, "You eight are so bold to sneak attack the county magistrate."

The eight people were not stubborn and were frightened by Li Ziyan's attack. One of them said, "We are not willing to let someone younger than us control us. We are really unwilling to accept it." "Anyway, we can't beat you. You can kill us or chop us up as you like. We have said what we really think."

Li Ziyan sneered: "You are quite courageous. Mo Yu, let them go." Then he said: "I am an official and I do not bear grudges. You eight are all top-notch fighters in the county government. It will be good for me to keep you." After saying that, Li Ziyan left the county government.
