Chapter 68: The aggrieved Master Wei

Seeing this, He Gui didn't embarrass him, and went into the inner room with the shopkeeper with the person who levies and loses the warehouse, and said to the red-clothed soap: "Lord He, the sun is getting bigger, why don't you let the dozen or so military masters outside also come in and rest for a while?"

Seeing that the lord's family had said so, Lord He was also willing to have a good relationship with those people, so he nodded: "That's fine, I'll have to ask them to help later." ”

He Gui went out and called in the dozen or so people outside.

These dozen or so people were all temporarily transferred from the army to escort grain and grass, all of them were tall and tall, and they were equipped with knives, and as soon as they walked into the shop, it looked a lot narrower.

One of them touched the sweat on his head, shook his hand and said, "Grandma, it's getting hotter and hotter these days." ”

The other said: "Shopkeeper, hurry up and serve some tea to the masters, your grandfather is dying of thirst." ”

The shopkeeper looked at these ruffians who were not easy to provoke at first glance, and secretly complained in his heart, and quietly glanced at a fellow while responding in vain, and asked him to inform the steward.

He Gui saw the shopkeeper's movements, but pretended not to see it, but just escaped from his sleeve pocket and threw it to a young man in the store, and ordered in a very stewardly manner: "Go to the teahouse opposite to buy two barrels of herbal tea to greet these poor men, remember to be chilled!"

The people who requisitioned and lost the treasury were all happy when they heard this, and they all said: "It's really refreshing to be in charge! ”

The young man glanced at the shopkeeper, and when he saw that the shopkeeper didn't speak, he went out with the silver, and soon came back with a few teahouse guys with herbal tea.

A group of people happily drank two barrels of herbal tea and sighed happily.

Soap Li put down the bowl in his hand and said to Hegui: "Let's work first, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it today, there are four shops." ”

Hegui naturally nodded: "It's okay." ”

The shopkeeper kept looking anxiously out the door. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, our steward hasn't come yet, and I can't be the master." ”

Soap Li said disapprerovingly: "Your boss has spoken, isn't the owner's words not as effective as the shopkeeper?" ”

More than a dozen soldiers drank a belly of herbal tea, and they were all full of energy at this time. There is no ambiguity in the words. One by one, they stood up and walked to the back storeroom.

The shopkeeper was startled, and he wanted to stop none of them, and saw those people swaggering into the back warehouse. After counting all the grain in the storeroom, he began to move it out.

Just as the first batch of grain was being moved out of the grain store, a richly dressed man hurriedly came over and blocked the door. Pointing at these soldiers, he said, "Put it down, let it go!"

The soldiers looked at him inexplicably, and the one who hit the head glared and shouted: "Get out of the way! Don't you see your grandfather carrying three sacks on his shoulders!

He waved his hand as he spoke. After slapping the rich man away, he unloaded the three sacks he was carrying on his shoulders onto the cart that had already stopped outside the door.

The rich man was pushed and stumbled and almost fell, and was about to get angry, when the shopkeeper heard the movement and walked out: "Steward Lin, you can count it." With that, the shopkeeper came over and told him what had just happened.

Steward Lin sneered: "What is the third wife of the He family? This shop is surnamed Wei! She wants to come and move things and ask Master Wei if she has not?" Steward Lin no longer paid attention to these coolie officials outside. Went straight into the rice shop.

The shopkeeper wanted to say that these soldiers were not easy to mess with, but when he saw that Steward Lin had entered, he hurriedly followed.

He Gui was accompanying the little official to check an account book he had just found out. As soon as Steward Lin came in, he looked at them proudly and said, "Who are you? Are you here to rob today?"

He Gui glanced up at Steward Lin and asked the shopkeeper, "Who is this?"

The shopkeeper said, "This is our Lin manager." He is Mrs. Wei's brother. ”

He Gui glanced at the manager of Nalin, "oh-" sound, and then continued to turn his head to talk to the little official, and did not pay attention to him again.

Steward Lin was furious: "Hurry up and let those people outside stop for me! This is the Wei family's shop, not a place for you to come to spread wild." ”

Soap Li and the little official all looked at Hegui, and they didn't know which one this was playing.

He Gui raised his eyelids and glanced at Steward Lin: "I haven't heard of Steward Lin, I just acted on the orders of the master's family, and our wife, who is also the owner of the shop, has donated half of the rice grain in this shop to the treasury. ”

Steward Lin's eyes widened: "What?

He Gui added unhurriedly: "There are also half of the medicinal materials in the medicinal herb shop, a quarter of the cloth in the silk village, and the income of the gold shop last year, all of which have been donated to the state treasury." ”

Steward Lin almost fainted when he heard this: "No!" Master Wei did not agree. You can't move things!"

At this time, the soldier who took the lead walked in, and when he heard this, he said: "Who is Master Wei? The owner of this shop? Why do you have different opinions? What is the matter? Grandpa is almost done moving!"

He Gui took out the documents that had been prepared a long time ago and handed them to the soap Li and the little officials who collected the warehouse: "This is the paperwork of this shop, please take a closer look." ”

The little official used to be in charge of the household department and account books, and he took a few glances and compared it with the documents sent by the requisition and transportation warehouse in his hand, and then nodded at the soap li: "Lord He, that's right, this shop is owned by the third wife of the He family." ”

When Soap Li heard this, he said to the soldiers who took the lead: "Mo Li will be idle and waiting, we are just acting on orders, and we will move wherever we are asked." If you have an opinion, go to the official office and say it, it is not under our control. ”

Steward Lin immediately said: "My brother-in-law, Master Wei, is a third-grade Taichang Siqing, be careful that he blames him for making you people unable to eat and walk around!"

The soldier smiled when he heard this, and then suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Steward Lin's collar with a fierce face, and pulled out the big knife at his waist and put it against his neck: "I don't care which official your brother-in-law is in the court, if you dare to interfere with your grandfather's official business, Lao Tzu will cut you!

Steward Lin didn't expect this person to use the knife when he said it, and he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and he was so trembling that he couldn't say a word.

At this moment, a majestic rebuke sounded at the door: "Stop! What do you want to do!"

When Steward Lin saw the visitor, it was like seeing a savior: "Brother-in-law, help!"

Wei Shengwen walked over, glanced at the people present, fixed his eyes on Hegui's body, and frowned: "You are Zhenniang's companion, what is it called......

Hegui got up and said respectfully: "Little Hegui, please say hello to Master Wei." ”

Wei Shengwen nodded, and said in a manner: "Well, hurry up and leave with these people, Zhenniang is just messing around!

He Gui sneered in his heart, but said on his face: "Back to Master Wei, these poor masters can be instructed not to move, they are here on orders from above." ”

Wei Shengwen frowned: "What do you mean?"

He Gui patiently said the things that Wei donated to the treasury again, and Wei Shengwen's face turned green after listening to it, and he reprimanded: "Nonsense!"

In the end, Soap Li and the little official still cared about Wei Shengwen's identity, and glanced at each other without speaking.

The soldier who had just taken the knife off Steward Lin's neck said disdainfully: "Is it nonsense to donate military salaries to the treasury?" It is said that bamboo shoots are good, and a court official is not as knowledgeable as a woman. ”

Wei Shengwen was stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked again, realizing that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry.

The soldier didn't bother to pay attention to Wei Shengwen anymore, put the knife back into the scabbard and went to work.

Wei Shengwen stood there, his face was red and white.

When he heard that Wei was looking for someone to move things in the shop, he immediately rushed to stop it, and when he saw the soldiers with big knives at the door, he thought it was the helpers of the army recruited by Wei from the He family, but he didn't expect that these people were people from the imperial court.

Steward Lin touched his neck and walked over, and asked in a low voice and anxiously: "Brother-in-law, think of a way! ”

How to stop it?

The emperor is anxious about the grain and grass for a while, and he also heard that Concubine Xian Niangniang took the lead in asking her relatives to donate silver, and Mrs. Wei also donated three hundred taels to support the Wei family. Today, if Wei dares to bring people to move things, he will dare to let people beat people out, and he is not afraid to make trouble, after all, with his identity as an elder, Wei does not dare to fight him.

But it was different when the people of the imperial court requisitioned and lost the treasury came, as a senior official of the current dynasty, Wei Shengwen did not dare to say that it was wrong for Wei to donate the things in the shop to the treasury.

Seeing that these people had emptied half of the grain depot and couldn't do anything about it, Wei Shengwen was so angry that his chest throbbed and throbbed.

Seeing Wei Shengwen covering his chest, Steward Lin immediately came up to hold him up: "Brother-in-law, are you okay?" Steward Lin was about to take the opportunity to shout out, so that Wei could bear the charge of being a sick man, but there happened to be a lively person coming in outside, and asked, "What are you doing in the store?"

He Gui immediately smiled and said loudly: "Concubine Xian took the lead in donating clothes and food to the soldiers who were charging in front, and our wife was very moved when she learned about it, so she donated the things in her dowry shop, hoping that the soldiers of the court can win the battle!"

A young girl shouted in the crowd of onlookers: "Your wife is Gao Yi, I don't know which wife, what did you donate?"

He Gui glanced at the young girl and recognized that this was his niece, Chunxiao, who was serving beside the eldest girl, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, but he still loudly reported Wei's identity and the things he had donated.

The crowd roared in admiration again.

The guy from a shop opposite said suspiciously: "This shop belongs to the third wife of the He family? How did I hear that it is the property of the Wei family?"
