Chapter 228: Hiring

Jiang Lu didn't intervene in this matter in the end.

Because the Li family came to hire.

The red lacquer painted gold gift box is covered with a large piece of wedding paper, white flowers, golden ingots, round and chubby, chubby in the shape of a pagoda on the gift box, carried by a column of small people wearing wedding clothes, and the fish walked into the Datong General Military Mansion.

Under the sun's rays, those gold and silver ingots pierced people's eyes,

The onlookers were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, whispering at the gate of the Datong General Military Mansion.

"Look, look! There really are 2,000 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver! ”

"Have you counted?" Some people questioned, "Maybe the bottom of the gift box is paper!" When the Wang family next door to us married a daughter-in-law, it was said that there were thirty-six lifts, but there were three things in it......"

Someone retorted: "I worked as a buddy in the silver building, and at a glance, I knew that it was all twenty-five taels of big ingots, and if you count and count, it is impossible to fake." ”

"The front has entered the house, and the back has been lined up on West Street, how many are there, and who has counted them."

"I counted it before, but then I listened to you, and I don't remember how much I carried it in."

"Anyway, there are a lot of dowries." Someone said, "At least I have never seen it in Datong." ”

Someone answered: "I'm afraid it's rare even in Taiyuan." Only when the Hou Bo's family marries a daughter in the capital can there be such pomp. ”

"What is it for the Hou Bo family to marry a daughter? I heard that the county lord had a dowry of 10 million taels of silver. The Li family has made a fortune! ”

"How did I hear that there are fifteen million taels! After saying that, the Empress Dowager asked people to send five million taels of money. ”

"Impossible! How did I hear that the treasury was only five million taels of silver? The emperor should be getting married soon, right? The money in the treasury was given to the county lord as a dowry, so what should the emperor do when he gets married? Is it still necessary to add to it?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone began to talk about them.

There is a humanitarian: "You people are illiterate and can't read the newspaper, you don't understand anything, you can only shout." The emperor became a relative and the county lord went out of the cabinet, and the money went from the Zongren Mansion, that is, from the emperor's own small treasury, which had nothing to do with the national treasury. By the time of the cold spring this year, it is too long, and the water and grass on the grassland are abundant, so there should be no war this year. ”

The topic is off the rails.

Sun Shiding wore an ordinary blue summer cloth jacket and a black felt hat to stand in the crowd, the more he listened, the more ugly his face became, and before the team hired by the Li family was finished, he squeezed out of the crowd, passed through a narrow alley, came to the crowded West Street, penetrated into an alley opposite, and entered a secluded inn.

A scribe in Tsing Yi was waiting for him in the upper room of the inn.

Seeing that he bowed his hand, he said, "How is it?"

Sun Shiding was not as casual as the scribe, he first respectfully called the scribe "Mr. Zheng", and then said: "There are really 2,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of silver, and boxes of gold and silver jewelry, dragon and phoenix cakes, and fruits, all of which are counted, and I think the dowry is not 200,000 taels but 150,000 taels." ”

"So much!" Mr. Zheng was stunned.

Sun Shiding's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice: "I heard that Li Qian killed all those who tried to rob the dowry, is it true?"

This Mr. Zheng is a staff member of Ding Liu, the political envoy of Shanxi.

Sun Shiding went to the Shanxi General Military Mansion to deliver money, but was told by the Li family's steward that Li Changqing went to the old mansion in Fenyang, and he waited for a few days without waiting for anyone, knowing that this was Li Changqing's confession and did not see him.

He was so anxious, but he was called by Ding Liu and asked him to accompany this Mr. Zheng on a trip to Datong.

Where did Sun Shiding dare to say the word "no", he served this Mr. Zheng to Datong with good food and drink, picked a small but well-known inn to stay, and waited to see the Li family come to hire.

"It's true!" Mr. Zheng's face suddenly became a little ugly as if he thought of the tragic situation at that time, and said, "You didn't see it, like Shura, blood spattered in the four fields, really didn't let go of any of them, and didn't even report to the official, two of them fled to the post station, and begged the post station post to help report the case, but before the post man spoke, the people who came after the Li family killed the person, and killed him like that in front of the post man."

"He's so arrogant!

"Now according to the judge, Lord Wu doesn't know what to do. Ask around who can talk to Li Qian, and want to persuade Li Qian, or wait until the time to pick up relatives, so that Li Qian agrees to help according to the judges. Otherwise, let him continue to stir up like this, and there will be a bloody storm in Shanxi!

"At that time, I'm afraid that even Lord Ding will be implicated!"

"I didn't expect that!" Sun Shiding muttered, "When he was first born, he was a white and tender child, with dark eyes blinking and blinking, I don't know how beautiful he was. Li Changqing was always afraid that his wife would dislike him and run away with others, until the child was born, and then he was relieved, thinking that his wife would continue to live with him even if she looked at the child's face. For Li Qian, he was afraid of falling in his hand, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth, we all said at the time, you can't teach children like this, and you will raise a child in the future. Who knows that it is still his Li Changqing's life, Li Changqing is used to this child, but her wife is very strict in raising the child. It's a pity that his wife injured her body and bones when she gave birth, and they never gave birth after that. I see that Li Changqing's wife is very virtuous, and I plan that if the Li family has a daughter, I will let Ji Yan marry her......"

What he was chattering about was just regretting that he didn't continue to maintain a good relationship with the Li family.

Mr. Zheng naturally saw that he was a little careful, thinking of Sun Shiding's filial piety to himself during the New Year's Festival, after thinking about it, he still reminded him: "Then Li Qian, I saw him once in the Governor Hu's mansion, and it was a smiling tiger." You'd better be careful! ”

Sun Shiding's heart trembled when he heard this, and he said, "Could it be that Lord Ding and they have no other way?" Can you just watch him kill people like this?"

"What else do you want?"

Mr. Zheng said, couldn't help but have a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and said, "He just killed a few robbers!" If it was in the past, just report to the military department. But now that he is married to the lord of Jianan, he is protecting the dowry for the lord of Jianan, and if he wants to be reasonable, he can only go to the emperor to say it. Do you think the emperor will help Lord Ding or Li Qian?"

Sun Shiding was swallowed speechless.

Mr. Zheng said: "Besides, the emperor knows that Li Qian has killed so many people, maybe he will call Lord Ding and Lord Wu over and ask, why are there so many robbers in Shanxi?" Why don't you usually mention it on the fold? In the end, maybe they still suspect that Lord Ding and Lord Wu are covering up the peace and the people's feelings......"

As he spoke, he sighed, not knowing whether to be amazed or envious: "The current Li Qian is very different!" When we met him, Lord Ding, we had to give three points. ”

Sun Shiding was speechless.

In the Datong General Military Mansion, the three hundred and sixty dowry gifts were laid out in rows, forming a special landscape.

The eyes of the little maids who were busy greeting the guests couldn't help but stay on it for a few breaths.

Dear friends, the monthly pass is 4800 plus more!
