Chapter 47 After Dayan’s partners
left the county government, Wei Yi brought two guards to the Sword Making Department.
Sign up to take the fifth-grade swordsmith assessment.
"Assessment for fifth-grade swordsmiths?" After hearing Wei Yi's words, Secretary Hou Dong was surprised.
"Yes, I want to directly participate in the fifth-grade swordsmith assessment!" Wei Yi said firmly.
"Are you kidding me? You just passed the ninth-grade swordsmith examination and you have to take the fifth-grade examination?" Hou Dong still couldn't believe it.
After all, the difference between ninth grade and fifth grade is not a seventh grade, but a huge watershed.
It would be easy for an ordinary swordsmith to be promoted from ninth grade to seventh grade.
But the gap between level 7 and level 5 separates countless people.
"I want to give it a try!" Wei Yi put one hundred taels of silver on the table without explaining much.
"Okay!" Hou Dong didn't say anything more. After all, this is one's freedom.
Even though he couldn't understand it in his heart, he even felt that Wei Yi was a little inflated.
He thought that he had become a ninth-level swordsmith with a grade above A, and the swords he forged had excellent performance and were sought after.
I felt that I was really talented and could directly surpass the seventh-grade and hit the fifth-grade level.
But of course he couldn't express it.
After all, there are some truths that you can only understand if you experience setbacks.
And experiencing failure sometimes helps a person understand himself better and find his own way again.
Wei Yi is still young and should experience some failures to let him understand some truth.
Hou Dong helped Wei Yi register for the assessment and recorded the materials Wei Yi needed.
Since there is no need for any invigilation this time, Wei Yi can come over for assessment at any time.
"The day after tomorrow!" Wei Yi knew that tomorrow the county government would hold a court hearing on the Meng family's case.
He needs to help the Meng family get through the difficulties first, and then take the assessment.
"Okay, okay!" Hou Dong said.
...
The next morning, the county government officially opened court to hear Xiang Manlou's case.
There were also many onlookers outside the hall.
Some of them are just watching the fun, and the other part are people who care about the case of Xiangmanlou.
Wei Yi, Du Yujiang, Guo Pixiu, as well as neighbors, relatives and friends who had good relations with the Meng family also came to the scene.
The trial process of the case is not complicated, in fact it is very simple.
After yesterday's investigation by the county government, it was determined that the poisonous mushroom incident was caused by Zhang Xing, the chef of Xiangmanlou.
This person has confessed that in order to make money, he subcontracted the mushrooms from the restaurant and passed them off as good ones.
Unexpectedly, it was mixed with poisonous mushrooms.
This person has committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime, and the case is basically clear.
So others can be acquitted.
But Meng Shuilian, as the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou, naturally has to bear certain responsibilities and needs to compensate the deceased.
The deceased's family demanded compensation totaling one thousand taels of silver.
In the end, the magistrate ordered Meng Shuilian to compensate each person one hundred taels of silver, for a total of five hundred taels.
At this point, the case was over and Meng Shuilian was directly released.
He was ordered to raise all the money within three days to compensate the family of the deceased.
After the court hearing ended, many onlookers dispersed.
Du Yujiang also left first.
After Meng Shuilian walked out of the courtroom, she went straight to Wei Yi and saluted gratefully: "Mr. Wei, thank you for your help!"
She knew very well that the case could be ended so smoothly because of Wei Yi's help. .
"You're welcome, let's go back together." Wei Yi said. But at this moment, Guo Pixiu came over with a smile and said, "Brother Wei, Shopkeeper Meng, my carriage is at the door. Let me take you back!" "Okay!" Wei Yi was not polite to
Guo Pixiu either. Okay, after all, people helped me a lot this time.
I just happened to stay with Guo Pixiu for lunch today to express my gratitude.
Seeing that Wei Yi agreed, Guo Pixiu suddenly smiled, turned around and shouted: "Tell me how to sing." As
soon as he said this, Wei Yi almost got involved.
"Here! Young Master, we are here!"
Before Guo Pixiu finished speaking, the four followers immediately flashed out from the crowd.
"Hurry up and bring the carriage over!" Guo Pixiu shouted.
"Okay!" The four people ran out quickly.
"Mr. Guo, those four of your followers are called...talking, learning and singing?" Wei Yi asked curiously.
"Yes, I gave it to you. It's a very elegant name!" Guo Pixiu said with a proud look on his face.
"Well, not bad, good for both elegance and vulgarity!" Wei Yi smiled meaningfully.
He really doubted whether the leader of the Deyun Gang was De Gang.
Is there another deputy gang leader named Yu?
"Brother Wei, please invite Shopkeeper Meng!"
Wei Yi and Meng Shuilian followed Guo Pixiu and got on the carriage together.
As the carriage left the county government office, Wei Yi looked at Meng Shuilian, who was still a little worried, and pondered for a moment.
Immediately he said: "Shopkeeper Meng, don't worry about the compensation. Go to my place later to get five hundred taels of silver notes for emergency use." "No, no, no,
no, I will find a way myself. If I really can't sell the house, I should , I should be able to get it together..."
"You're welcome. When my Wei family was in trouble, it was thanks to your help that now it's our turn to repay our kindness. Besides, five hundred taels of silver is nothing to me. Just forge a few more swords." Wei Yi said sincerely.
"That's right, Shopkeeper Meng, Brother Wei is now the most famous ninth-grade swordsmith in the city. This little money is nothing to him, so you don't have to be polite!" Guo Pixiu couldn't help but help. road.
"Okay, but don't worry, I will definitely return it to you as soon as possible!" Meng Shuilian said.
"Okay!" Wei Yi smiled, but changed the subject, "But the Wan family should repay the money, and they should repay it ten times or a hundred times!" "
Brother Wei, what you said is good. It's so good, yes, you should let the Wan family repay it. To be honest, you really can't just put up with this matter. The Wan family is simply too bullying.
But now that you have to fight with the Wan family, it seems a little bit... We are weak alone, but if you add me, it will be no problem!" Guo Pixiu said excitedly, patting his chest.
Wei Yi was a little surprised when he heard Guo Pixiu's words.
If you say something angry to yourself, how excited is this guy?
"What are you doing?" Wei Yi looked at Guo Pixiu in surprise and asked.
"Let's open a restaurant together and kill them all. Your Xiangmanlou is so popular. Your roast chicken is the best in Qingzhou City. Not to mention your Lansheng wine. I Dad still thinks about it from time to time.
If we join forces to open a restaurant, with the craftsmanship of your Meng family, the identity and financial resources of Brother Wei as a swordsmith, and the power of my Guo family, I don’t believe that we can’t defeat the Wan family. Come
to When Lansheng Wine is put on the market again, it will definitely be able to regain its former glory!" Guo Pixiu said with a beaming eyebrow.
Wei Yi was a little surprised when he heard Guo Pixiu's words. He didn't expect Guo Pixiu to have such an idea.
It coincides with him.
But thinking about it, it might not be a bad thing if we can join forces with the Guo family.
At least under the current situation, it is indeed a good choice.
After all, the Guo family is one of the three major gangs in the city, with many warriors.
It is also a force that cannot be underestimated in the city. Even the Wan family must be wary of him.
"You actually wanted to go with me!" Wei Yi said with a smile.
"It's true, haha. It seems that heroes have the same vision. I knew that Brother Wei definitely had great ambitions. How about we join forces and do something big?" Guo Pixiu looked expectantly. With Wei Yi and Meng Shuilian.
