Chapter 17: The Trap Is Set, Please Come In!
In the afternoon, according to the modern weather forecast, it is sunny and cloudy, and it is suitable for going out in late summer and early autumn.
In his room in the small courtyard of the Hou Mansion, Zhifeng paced back and forth, and Lie'er Wang Qiang and Jian Shisan lazily fell on the rattan chair, looking at Zhifeng who was spinning around mechanically like a marionette, with a confused face!
The two of them wondered in their hearts, what is wrong with the young master, it is said that today the Hou Ye is awarded the title, and the name of the 'young master' will be more solid, and he should be a hundred times more elated.
It should be so, although Zhifeng is young, he is already an official from the eighth grade, and he still occupies the title of both civil and military, no matter how awesome Jian Shisan is, he is only the general of the Hou Mansion, and no matter how good Wang Qiang's ears are, he is only a big-headed soldier, and he is not even mixed with the leader of the halberd from the ninth grade.
This is just like in modern society, no matter how rich a businessman is, if he does not hold the title of CPPCC member and deputy to the National People's Congress, and does not rely on a certain level of government officials behind his back, any small yamen with a little power will be full of ways to make things difficult, knocking out teeth and swallowing blood, unless money opens the way crooked.
If Jian Thirteen wasn't a cronie of the Hou Ye's Mansion with a certain status, who would know where he was sacred?
Zhifeng now has the status of a national civil servant, even if he is a unit-level cadre who is too small to be small, after all, he can be regarded as the master who has embarked on a career and eats imperial grain and receives salaries.
It's just that what kind of bird is the young master doing in this circle?
In a daze, Young Master Zhifeng finally stopped, "Let's go, let's go see the third uncle and the eldest brother of Yanwu, it's time to clean up the two bastards of the old shop of the Zhang family and Yue Ji Qishengfang!" ”
The old store of the Zhang family, which warmed up the money, and the Yue Ji Qisheng shop, who made a living by pawning, have not had a good time recently, and the locals in Huaiyuan know that they are ruthless in their hearts, and they don't have bones left in eating people.
Unless you fail to do business, go bankrupt, or have a funeral urgency at home, you will go to the pawn to borrow money. But these two shops are not the only ones who have warmed up their money and made pawns, and if they don't find them, they can't always threaten their peers, rob them openly and secretly, and design framed them.
In the past few years, except for the occasional encounter with sheep from other places, there is really no business to come to the door, relying on bad pickling methods to swallow up several properties similar to Wang Qiang's family, the business can be said to be completely clear soup and little water, and even the wages of the guys' accounts have begun to be in arrears, how can it be bleak.
Although the two families have accumulated a lot of bloody wealth over the years, after all, the family has to take care of the big business and face, and the scene still has to be supported, and the daily flowing expenses are really painful.
Two or three years ago, when they joined forces to trap others, they made a mistake, so that the other party finally found evidence through clues, and the new division of Huaiyuan City's legal army was ordered by Ning Houfu to be strictly investigated before he could get it, and as a result, he naturally lost his wife and broke his army.
In the process of joining the army and adjudicating the case by the county lieutenant, in order to reduce their own responsibility, the Zhang and Yue families passed the buck to each other, attacked and insulted each other, and even fought and completely fought each other, and since then they have no longer interacted, and the decline of the two families has become increasingly significant.
On this day, the old store of the Zhang family welcomed the only customer every day as usual.
This middle-aged man listened to the accent and looked dressed as a merchant from other places, it has been five consecutive days, every morning into the door, in the afternoon to return the warm money and silver profits, even if the old store of the Zhang family opened up to half a cent a day, but it seems that people don't care, every time they are happy to borrow, happy to repay the money, it seems that the interest is not at all.
After the merchant left, the old lady of the Zhang family hurriedly summoned the men serving in the hall, "Haven't you found out anything after talking to him today?" ”
"Back to the old lady's words, this merchant is really tight-mouthed, always drinking tea and keeping accounts to get money, and it is rare to say three or five sentences if you have too many words, and it is really difficult to find out the clues." , the guy Zhang Sanmei has a sad face, and he can't escape today's reprimand.
"Little Five, have you ever found out the details of the merchants?" Surprisingly, Old Lady Zhang didn't seem to have the intention of continuing to attack Wang San, and instead asked the front desk shopkeeper who was standing beside him.
"According to your instructions, from the first day I entered the store, I arranged for someone to keep an eye on him day and night, and he would go straight to Tsing Yi Fang when he took away the money, and he would go back for an hour. There are many idle people in the green building, and every time there is a teapot maid to lead him to the back court, we have no way of knowing what is going on. The shopkeeper Wang Wu replied very carefully.
"Old lady, every afternoon when the merchant returns the principal and silver profits, the package he carries with him is larger than when he goes out from here in the morning," Zhang San suddenly remembered this detail, "Yesterday he opened the scarf and I peeked at it, and there were at least two hundred taels of silver left." ”
"Really?" , Mrs. Zhang fell into hard thought, "Has he been borrowing more than half of his money like this every day these days?" ”
"In reply to your words, on the first day he borrowed four hundred taels of warm money, and then in the next few days he borrowed four hundred taels of warm money, and then in the next few days he was six hundred taels, nine hundred taels, one thousand three hundred and fifty taels, and today is especially much, and he actually borrowed three thousand taels of silver at once!"
Three thousand taels! Old lady Zhang gasped, she was so generous, she had to pay back an extra hundred and fifty taels of silver in less than half a day!
"Is there a problem with his collateral confirmation?"
"Old lady, I can guarantee this, it is indeed an old object flowing out of the palace during the Taizu period, and the value will only be more than five thousand taels of silver!"
Interesting, merchants, Yinli, Qinglou...
How did he make money? It's still an hour's work, is it the master who relies on girls to raise and eat soft rice?
It's not like ah, Huaiyuan's Lieqing Building, the girl's family has a good face, and the benefactor is not only rich but also a young man, otherwise he will never look down on it, and this foreign uncle-level character doesn't seem to be so charming, right?
Qinglou, Tsing Yi Fang, Hou * Ting, Old Lady Zhang's eyes lit up, "Xin everyone, do you still live in Tsing Yi Fang, I heard that she has been living in Tsing Yi Fang Hou * Tingxiu Building before?" ”。
After receiving an affirmative answer, Mrs. Zhang had a plan in her heart, "After Zhang Tie comes back, let him see me immediately, and it is time to turn back from the ancestral home of this foreign merchant... And tomorrow, when this guest comes again, he will be directly brought to the back hall to see me, and don't want to eat alone when you get rich! ”
***
Yue remembered the ascension shop, "Son, what whimsical ideas do you have to prove today?" Peony, hurry up, is the big red robe soaked, hurry up and serve it to the son! ”
Yue Ji's owner, Yue Jincai, smiled like a clump of sunflowers, and his thick sweat pores were dotted with acne pimples all over his face, and the image was handsome and chic.
Yue Jincai has the impression that he has not nodded so much to people for many years, and he can't wait to lie on the ground and greet guests like his father, but he is not low-key, Yue Ji will definitely close down after three or two years of being so light.
Peony twisted the waist of the water snake and swayed the plump back seat comparable to Kardashian, smiled sweetly and offered a fragrant tea, but said in his heart, "This little brother is handsome, but I don't know why it is useless in such an embroidered pillow, is it brainless, I came to play tricks with Boss Yue Ji all day long, and I became a * family without hearing a sound of a few thousand taels of silver in three or five days, why do I not know how to advance or retreat!" ”
That's right, this local tyrant son who is said to be from Jiaoyang County is dressed by Zhifeng, and the little guy who serves behind him is also a Shiwu sergeant who has never appeared in Huaiyuan City.
Although it is said that Zhifeng's name inherits his ancestors, but the people who have really seen his appearance are not only a few gamblers in the Earthquake Casino that day and the dignitaries and nobles when the Yaoxin girl presented the piano, but the common people really have a few people who know his face in Lushan.
Besides, how can there be such a coincidence, but the population of more than 200,000 people in Huaiyuan will be good Yue Ji Shengdian met an acquaintance and was recognized? That's just a plot in the movie. Not to mention that Yue remembered that the Shengdian was a flood, a beast, and a plague and typhoid fever for the locals in Huaiyuan, and it was too late to hide, who would touch the mold!
As for the identity background, with the help of the Ninghou Mansion, if Jian Thirteen can still be found out by the wind media invited by Yue Ji under the personal control, then the Thirteenth Uncle will not have to mix in the Hou Mansion, and the golden bright and promising thick legs will also want to hug again.
In a few days, this local tyrant son came to Yue Ji to kill time every day, and it was also time for Yue Ji to make a fortune, the first day the most advanced son was a few shops around the side, but they were all driven out by people, this situation can be seen clearly by Yue Jincai, and it was only when he personally welcomed into his own store that Boss Yue understood the trick.
It turned out to be because of the reason of 'betting'!
