Chapter 292: The Yan Family Steward
Soon, a few hundred people dispersed, and only five or six men in soldier's clothes remained in the courtyard. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Tang Hezhang saw that these people were still not leaving, which was a little strange.
"Why don't you leave?" Tang Hezhang asked.
That Xiucai didn't leave, but he said without concealment, "Mr. Tang, King Teng is reversed, we plan to report this news to the imperial court, what are you going to do now?"
"I also intended to write a letter to report to the court, since a few of you are going to report the letter, it will naturally be better. It's just that if you go by land, the journey will be delayed. ”
Tang Hezhang groaned, the land route delayed time, but if you take the water route, you need a boat.
And here in Shanyang County, it is estimated that there will be no ships for a while.
He thought of the deserted river when he came, and he was afraid that the boats would be driven away.
Those people also wanted to take the waterway, "The boats on the Lanjiang River were watched, and for a while, they couldn't find the boats." ”
When they were speechless, a voice from behind said, "If you want to take a ship, our merchant ship can carry you on a ride." ”
Tang Hezhang and the others turned around and saw a man wearing a Xia Bu short coat and looking like a businessman standing behind.
The man looked at a few people, and first bowed to Tang Hezhang, "Mr. Tang, the younger one is the manager of the Yan family's cloth business in Shuzhong, and I have seen Mr. from afar a few times before. The little one dared to ask Mr. Tang to go with the small merchant ship, and if the eldest and second masters of the family knew that Mr. was here, they would definitely arrange it like this. ”
This steward was sent to Shuzhong after Yuxiu and Shen Xuan agreed to cooperate in the grain business.
He was in Shuzhong, on the one hand, he helped to run errands and collect grain, and on the other hand, he bought and transported Yunjin cloth for his family.
Because the Shen family steward has opened the door in Yundu, the business cooperation between the two has been good.
The steward was to follow the merchant ship, intending to transport the goods to the Yanshan Wharf.
Unexpectedly, when the merchant ship arrived in Shanyang County this time, the official certificate in his hand could not be used, and the ship was temporarily detained in Shanyang County.
However, because of his official credentials, Tang Henian knew that this was a business related to King Teng's concubine's family, and he didn't dare to embarrass him. Seeing that he was transporting grain, if the others would definitely be thrown into prison immediately, Tang Henian didn't care about this matter, he only asked him to wait in Shanyang County, and waited for him to send someone back to Yundu to ask for instructions.
This steward stayed in Shanyang County for a few days, and was waiting anxiously, when he heard that Tang Hezhang was here, he wanted to come to the door to ask to see him.
Unexpectedly, before he came to the door, there was an attack on the county seat. After he was awakened at the inn, he came out and followed the soldiers and people all the way to the county office.
He had traveled to and from Dongping Village and knew that Tang Hezhang was the husband of his second master.
And the eldest lady and the eldest lady in the family are all well-known benevolent and kind-hearted people.
The steward followed Zhao Quansheng to run through the single gang back then, and he also had some insight and courage.
After he joined the Yan family, his life was better, and he was grateful to the uncle's family.
He thought that if things were not good and he would act at the opportunity, he would have to save Mr. Erye back.
If the uncle and the eldest lady knew that he saved the second master's husband, they would be happy.
Now seeing that these people don't plan to embarrass Tang Hezhang, Tang Hezhang said about taking the waterway again, and he hurriedly stood up and said.
Tang Hezhang was a little surprised when he heard that this steward was under the hands of the Yan family.
remembered that Yuxiu once said that there was business in Shu. Looking at the steward in front of him again, the county town was in a panic all night, and he was still very calm. And he can also make a decision to help others on the spot. Those children are doing well in business, and they are so discerning in knowing and employing people.
The soldiers were also happy, some of them were actually sent by the Tiger Ben Army in Shuzhong, and they were in a hurry to return to Beijing to make a report, so they asked the steward to hurry up and sail.
"Follow him in the boat. In addition, I still have one thing to trust, Tang Henian is evil alone, but my eldest daughter-in-law and several grandchildren are innocent. I asked the housekeeper to take them away. It's just a few of them, I'm afraid they haven't gone far. I hope you can give them a ride. ”
"The gentleman commanded, the little one must do it. You can rest assured, the small ones will make people go to them. The soldiers were still hesitating, but the steward of the Yan family didn't care what they thought, so they agreed.
For him, Tang Hezhang's orders must be fulfilled.
"I'll go and arrange for the boat to go out first, and you guys can wait at the docks. The steward said, turning around and busily arranging the arrangements.
Those soldiers couldn't help it.
None of them can take the helm and support the boat, so they can only rely on other people's arrangements.
"Mr. Tang, why don't you come with us?" that Xiucai saw that Tang Hezhang still didn't plan to leave, and persuaded again.
Tang Hezhang smiled, "Wait a minute. ”
He turned around and took a pen and paper, and hurriedly wrote a few letters, one of which was addressed to Yudong.
After he finished writing, he didn't keep his mouth shut, "I'm bothering a few people to help me bring the letters, and these two letters will be handed over to the steward of the Yan family." ”
"Old gentleman......"
"It's dawning soon, and reinforcements are coming. I'll stay here, and I can help you drag on for a while, so let's go. ”
Those soldiers saw the morning light in the east, time really couldn't be delayed, and a few people saluted Tang Hezhang with fists, turned around and strode away.
For a while, inside and outside the county office, it was as silent as an empty city.
Tang Hezhang turned around and found a shirt for Tang Henian to cover his head and body, and then sat aside. The candles and torches that had been lit overnight finally burned out.
When the fire was gone, a glow appeared in the east, and the long night was finally over.
The genius was bright, and the sound of horses' hooves and human voices was heard outside, and soon, a team of Shu troops rushed in.
They couldn't help but be stunned when they saw that there was only an old man and a dead man in the huge county office.
Those with sharp eyes recognized that the person on the ground was wearing the official uniform of the magistrate.
"Who are you?" asked a man who looked like a general to Tang Hezhang.
"I am the father of Tang Henian, Qingzhou Tang Hezhang. Tang Hezhang got up and said in a deep voice, "King Teng has summoned him many times, and he has come to see him. ”
The general heard that it was Tang Hezhang and knew that he was Tang Henian's father, and the prince valued this person very much, and glanced at the ground, "On the ground, but Shanyang County Ling Tang County Order?"
"It was the dog who died of poisoning. Annoy the general to find a thin coffin and let him be buried in the ground. ”
The city of Shanyang County is now as empty as an empty city, Tang Henian is dead again, the father of the family spoke, and the general waved his hand to let the soldiers do the same, "Mr. Tang, please rest assured, the Tang County Order is loyal to his duties, and the prince will definitely be buried." ”
"When a person dies in debt, it is a blessing to be able to enter the ground, and there is no need to bury it. Tang Hezhang said in a deep voice, got up and walked in front of the general.
The general bowed down and made a gesture of invitation, and ordered the soldiers to go to the city to find the coffin, and he accompanied Tang Hezhang out. I didn't expect Tang Hezhang to be so indifferent to his son's death, it's really strange.
"Mr. Tang, please mourn, the prince sent a certain person to arrest and deal with the gang of disorderly people. A certain will definitely avenge Tang Zhixian. ”
