Chapter 29 Imprison

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Qi Boxong set up firecrackers at the door of the supermarket early in the morning. Zhen Xing poked her head out of the room and covered her ears. Qi Bosong lit the firecrackers and took a few steps back. The firecrackers sounded, indicating that Qiji Supermarket was open for business.

Since the Spring Festival has just ended, not many people come in for shopping. Zhen Xing hid in the counter, with a burning brazier beside him. When there was no one, Qi Bosong sat next to Zhen Xing with a copy of Sun Zi's Art of War.

Zhen Xing sat in a high chair and shook her legs boringly. In broad daylight, no one came in. Business is deserted, which is what is expected. People are preparing everything before the Spring Festival. Who will come to buy things during the first lunar month? They are all hanging at home!

However, being idle is also idle. Idle in the backyard is the same thing as being idle outside. Zhen Xing stared at the outside with bored eyes wide, and she felt even more bored.

The weather is very good and the sun is warm. Probably, spring is coming, right? The air is also particularly fresh. The old girl wore a new silk flower on her head, and the young man wore a new robe and a horse coat. Even the grandmother couldn't help but have a piece of hard candy with no sweetness in her mouth.

Zhen Xing looked at the antique store diagonally opposite. His house also opened, and the business was very deserted. Boss Zhou looked back and forth in the room, probably looking for something.

Zhenxing suddenly remembered that there was a temple fair from today until February 2nd? She must not be able to catch up today. She quickly asked Qi Boxong to contact the temple fair.

After Qi Bosong left, Zhen Xing called Xiao Fuzi over. The two of them are preparing something for the temple fair. Zhen Xing thought to herself that she could not move everything in the house to the temple fair. Just pick up a few good things that probably sell well.

When people go to temple fairs, they won't buy like they usually do. Zhenxing looked at her goods carefully and remembered that there was a batch of goods purchased from the caravan in the warehouse.

The sales of that batch of goods have not been very good. It's better to take this opportunity to sell it.

Just do it. Xiao Fuzi and Zhen Xing tossed the goods out of the warehouse. Qi Bosong came back and said that a booth had been chartered, but the position was not very good. Zhen Xing can't take care of so much. Xiao Fuzi moved all the goods out and waited to set up a stall at the temple fair tomorrow.

On the second day, Qi Bosong drove the carriage and took Zhen Xing and Xiao Fuzi into the City God Temple. Xiao Fuzi carried two tables and put them together into a long table, and Zhenxing and Qi Bosong put the goods on it. While there were not too many people, Qi Bosong moved the horse to the back. Later, he helped Zhenxing arrange the goods.

As soon as the hour passes, the number of people gradually increases. The division of labor between the three is clear. Zhenxing is responsible for collecting money, and Qi Boxong and Xiaofuzi are responsible for selling goods. Zhen Xing held a small pocket tightly, which was stuffed with a thousand big children.

When there are more people, there will inevitably be times when you can't take care of them. A child came over and secretly took away a small rouge box while no one was paying attention to the Qi family. At this time, Qi Bosong was still selling goods. Zhen Xing was looking for money, while Xiao Fuzi moved the goods in the car.

When it came to the beginning of the afternoon, there was gradually no one. Seeing that the time was almost up, Qi Bosong ordered Xiao Fuzi to pack up the goods, and the three of them went home.

At night, Zhen Xing took out a small abacus and calculated the accounts carefully. The daily rent of a stall is one or two taels of silver, plus the cost of goods and so on. After a busy day, only one or two of silver is earned, and a lot of goods are lost. This made Zhen Xing very unhappy.

Qi Bosong was comforted. Anyway, it was better to take the initiative to wait for customers to come at home. Besides, there are few customers during the Spring Festival, and I'm afraid you can't even earn a ta or two of silver at home.

Zhen Xing is not much better because of Qi Bosong's comfort.

On February 2, Zhenxing went to Xianghezhuang to buy a piece of pork head meat. Qi Bosong and Xiao Fuzi have closed the stall, and the three of them sat down happily to celebrate the second month of February.

After dinner, Zhen Xing took out the accounts of these days and calculated them. The rent of the temple fair is fifteen taels of silver. Excluding taxes, principal, loss and fragmentation, it took more than ten days, but only ten taels of silver earned. Zhen Xing was not very complacent, and it was enough to put away the silver.

After February 2nd, the New Year will be officially over. The weather is getting better day by day, and the sun is shining outside. The children selling sugar-coated haws walk through the streets with sticks full of sugar-coated haws. The weather was good and there was no wind at all. The hawkers who set up stalls outside couldn't help taking off their leather coats.

The snow on the eaves gradually enlightened. Zhen Xing looked at the "tick" dripping water on the opposite roof and couldn't help thinking of Jin Yong's Book and Sword Enmity.

Under Tianshan Mountain, will there be a woman full of fragrance? Thousands of miles of clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, who does the shadow go to? Zhen Xing thought of this poem and couldn't help sighing. But she almost immediately laughed again. Why did she feel sad like Lin Daiyu?

After the Spring Festival, Yu Dapai is not idle. He owed his sister a hundred taels of silver. Taking advantage of the New Year's gap, he told his sister how to bully him. When the county magistrate's concubine heard it, it was amazing. Who dared to bully my brother so boldly? Not only that, Yu Dapai kept making small reports that they bullied me, which is equivalent to bullying you. Bullying you is equivalent to bullying the county magistrate.

When the concubine of the county magist heard what the big faction said, she was even more angry and turned a blind eye to the magistrate's office. These people are really abominable!

Yu Dapai took the opportunity to cry to his sister, saying that the Qi family not only bullied themselves, but also united with outsiders to drive themselves out of the street and prevent them from doing business in the future.

The concubine of the county magistrate's concubine saw the sadness of the big faction crying, and she was even more angry. He slapped him on the table and vowed to say to Yu Dapai that he must avenge him.

That night, the county magistrate went home drunk after socializing. While the county magistrate was still awake, the concubine would cry about the big faction. The county magistrate just wanted to sleep, but was annoyed by her crying. He simply said, "You can go as you like."

It doesn't matter. On the morning of the next day, the concubine immediately ordered her confidant to come and discuss something important.

On the afternoon of the first day, Xiao Fuzi came back with goods. Zhen Xingzai carefully took stock of the goods. In total, some goods seemed to be wrong. Suddenly, he heard a panic outside.

Zhen Xing put down the account book and immediately walked out. Seven or eight people from the government came in. The leader looked arrogant, pointed to Zhen Xing's nose and asked, "I ask you, is Qi Bosong there?"

Zhen Xing suddenly had an inexplicable panic in her heart, and she only felt that it was like a strong wind before the rainstorm. Sirs, what do you want to do with our shopkeeper? In the fast room, please, Xiao Fuzi, and bring tea to several masters. Zhen Xing hurriedly said with a smile.

The leader waved his hand and said, "Tea is free. Please ask the shopkeeper to come with us and someone will sue him.

"What crime did our shopkeeper commit?" Zhen Xing asked.

The catcher sneered twice. At this time, Qi Bosong just returned from the outside and saw Qi Bosong coming in. Without saying a word, these people tied Qi Bo up.

Zhen Xing exclaimed and came forward to stop her, and the catcher quickly reached out and pushed her. She suddenly fell to the ground and sprained her waist.

After Qi Bosong was arrested, Zhen Xing hurriedly ordered Xiao Fuzi to open the store and hurried to Xianghezhuang alone. It happened that Boss Liu was not here, and Zhen Xing couldn't hold on any longer. She sat in the private room of Xianghezhuang and cried.

Boss Liu came back in the evening. Zhen Xing had been waiting for him here for more than an hour. Boss Liu heard from the clerk that Qi Ji's boss's wife came and immediately went upstairs. The little guy opened the door of the private room, and Boss Liu saw Zhenxing with pear blossoms and rain.

"Big brother..." Zhen Xing just put these two flip-flops out, as if she had seen her relatives, choked and couldn't speak. Boss Liu hurriedly ordered his servants to invite his beloved concubine.

The eldest uncle and his sister-in-law were talking in the same room. The brother-in-law still cried like this. What she knew was that something had happened to her family. What she didn't know, and she thought she was bullying her.

"What's wrong? Did Qi Bosong bully you? Boss Liu said.

Zhen Xing choked and shook her head. After a long time, she whispered, "Qi Boxong was arrested..." As soon as these words were spit out, she couldn't help crying out.

Boss Liu was shocked and couldn't help asking, "Who is he?"

"The government..." Zhen Xing kept wiping her tears with a veil and choked.

Boss Liu said that the big deal was not good. This has offended the county magistrate. Boss Liu quickly asked, "Let me ask you, how did your family offend the county magistrate?" If it's not big, maybe it can be unblocked.

Zhen Xing shook her head and said slowly after a long time, "Our family has never known the county magistrate for the rest of his life. Not to mention offending him, I haven't seen him on weekdays."

"Isn't it that you offended the county magistrate's family?" As soon as Boss Liu said this, he found that he had inadvertently reminded himself. Isn't the family of the county magistrate Yu Dapai?

That's right. This kind of thing is done by the big faction. His sister is the concubine of the county magistrate. She is a woman who has never read a book. Naturally, her ears are softer. She can do whatever she hears, and she can tolerate a lot of nonsense.

Boss Liu bit his back teeth and paced back and forth in the room. Yu Dapai is not a fucking man. He couldn't stand it, so he asked his sister for help.

However, it's useless to be angry now. How to get Qi Bosong out is serious. It is not only to say that he and Qi Bosong have worshipped their brothers, but that they are now also on the list of the big faction, and they must get Qi Bosong out. One more person and one more helper, Qi Bosong is not an idle person, but he can make use of it.

Just as he was thinking about it, his concubine came in.
