Chapter 250: Undercurrent (2)

I don't know why she suddenly laughed when she was talking well, Fu Jingheng smiled and said, "Although I can't be sure, I think your guess should be right." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Lu dared to hurt Ah Xuan first, and since then, the Ji family has been paying attention to the affairs of the Lu family, and has also inquired about some things about the Lu family. Doing this, the Ji family was naturally unwilling to let Lu Dan go easily. It's just that on the bright side, the Ji family is now in Pingyang, but they can't offend the Lu family. So it has been hidden.

Especially these days, Ah Xuan entered the barracks, and heard some things there, and the news about his family became even more confirmed. Recently, the government auctioned some shops, and on the surface, the Lu family did not take action, but secretly, the Lu family seemed to have bought at least two shops through trusted people. DID YOU KNOW? ”

Hearing Fu Jingheng say this, Li Yao was surprised: "Hey, have you been paying attention to dealing with the Lu family?" Why didn't you tell me? ”

Fu Jingheng explained with a smile: "A-Yao, you are Jinglin's sister-in-law, but I am her brother." How could I not take Jing Lin's matter to heart? Lu Dare treats Jing Lin like that, I will naturally pay attention to him, and I will also pay attention to his affairs. If you don't die, you will suffer from it, but the time is not ripe, so I won't tell you specifically. Besides, I have been paying attention to inquiring about the Lu family recently, if it weren't for Sun Fu's father and son also inquiring about the Lu family, I wouldn't know more than you know. ”

Fat Gu's father has also stayed in the local military camp for many years, although he only mixes a small flag with ten soldiers, but he also knows a little about the entanglements of local military generals. Therefore, Li Yao can still get some news about Lu Kang's family through the fat aunt's father. The two of them talked about it, one counted the short, and the other counted the long, and soon they analyzed the affairs of Lu Kang's family.

At first, local shops bought land through Chen Shuren and then built houses to operate, which was not formal. But since the end of the case of using power for personal gain, the local government has obtained some shops and land through the seizure of homes, and various news from the imperial court has made the local shops and land rise accordingly. Therefore, the Changxingtun Market planned by Chen Wenwen was taken over by the local government.

Since the local government took over the Changxingtun market, the local government did not do anything about shops such as our rice shop, but just let these shops re-enthrone in the government to handle the title deeds, and then pay taxes on time every month.

Of course, the government also asked these shops to pay the tax within a certain period of time according to their subsequent profits. Although it is unfair, but to talk about fairness with officials with two mouths, Li Yao and these small people are still not qualified, so they have to follow it. After all, she is not the only one who pays the back tax, but fortunately, the government also gave a deadline for paying the back tax, and there is no immediate reminder.

Those shops that can be acquired by the government through the raid of the house, the reserve price of the official auction is not low. For a six-point shop of the size of our restaurant, the low price is 100 taels, and it is possible to sell 3500 taels. After all, our family occupies a very good geographical location in Changxingtun Market, and all the shops are built around it on the left and right.

Therefore, it is conceivable that Lu Qian's family will not be able to take two shops of the same size near our restaurant, without a thousand taels of silver in their hands. So the question arises, where did his family get a thousand taels of silver?

Lu Qianhu's family used to be just not embarrassed, but there were not many domestic servants in the family, only a rough cook, and an old man who guarded the door. The people who followed Lu Kang were all people who voluntarily attached themselves to Lu Baihu, and they were Lu Baihu's generals, these people were not Lu Baihu's subordinates, but people who took the initiative to take refuge in him, and there were people who took refuge in books.

In fact, these people are almost the same as the subordinates, just because they use the book of refuge, so the name is better than the subordinate. There are many people in the barracks who voluntarily defect to their superiors, and this phenomenon has been repeatedly banned, just like the formation of the Qi family army in later generations. If many generals are camping in the army, they have their own cronies. So it's a normal phenomenon.

It can be seen that the Lu family is also an ordinary well-off family, but there is definitely not as much silver as a thousand taels of silver. If so, why did his family never build a new house and buy a servant? If it is said that they live so simply because they are not ostentatious. But now it's only been half a year, but his family has bought land and built a new house, which is still the kind of brick house with a three-entry yard that is not cheap, and at the same time, the family has also bought servants, and the family is much richer than before.

Lu Baihu was promoted to a thousand households, and the amount of silver would increase, but it was not so high that they could immediately get up three courtyards. According to rough estimates, the three courtyards of his house could not be built without three hundred taels. What's more, his family also invested money to open a leather goods shop last year, not to mention the profit of the leather goods shop, and the early purchase of land and houses plus the collection of leather goods, without one or two hundred taels of silver, it will definitely not be tossed.

So after such calculations, Lu Baihu, who was promoted to a thousand households, had some unknown sources of his family's silver.

"Let's not say that Lu Qianhu and Shi Jiang don't belong to the same faction, let's talk about where his money came from."

"Where did it come from?" Li Yao asked. Lu Qianhu, who looks decent on the surface, Li Yao really doesn't know where people can get a thousand taels of silver, "Maybe Lu Qianhu has a hundred years of ginseng in his hand, and then took it out and sold it." ”

Regarding Li Yao's whimsical speculation, Fu Jingheng shook his head and denied: "At that time, Lu Qianhu was afraid of offending the Ji family and being punished today, so he lost a lot of valuable medicinal materials, but he didn't have a century-old ginseng, if his family had ginseng, why didn't he take it out at that time?" So your guess must be wrong. ”

"And what do you mean?" Li Yao was just guessing. She puffed out her cheeks and asked Fu Jingheng's guess.

Seeing her cute appearance with bulging cheeks, Fu Jingheng unconsciously raised his hand and stroked her two times before saying, "There are many local generals who have gone to the official office, don't you know anyone from Lu Baihu here?" I guess that when he helps someone he knows hide his property, he gets the money from the money he helps someone hide it. This kind of thing is more or less clear to anyone who has done things in the yamen. "Fu Jingheng is from a family of eunuchs, so he still has these insights.

"But we can all see the problem clearly, don't you know if you are not a historian of the same faction as Lu Qianhu?" Li Yao pursed her lips, and then asked again. She intuitively felt that Fu Jingheng had guessed that eight or nine would not be far from ten. But why didn't anyone report Lu Qianhu's family.

"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and the case of abusing power for personal gain cannot be clean for everyone. It's just relatively clean. Maybe Shi Qianhu did the same thing, but it's unknown. Governor Cheng and Liu Jianjun went to the local area to investigate the case and deal with the case, which will minimize the impact of this case on the army, some people make mistakes that are not particularly big, and there is no evidence, they will actually turn a blind eye and spare it.

Otherwise, all the local generals will be involved and all of them will be dealt with, then there may be turmoil in the entire Stone Forest, and the hundreds of thousands of troops will be in turmoil. is like the local deputy commander-in-chief, because of his deep foundation and rich experience in leading troops against the enemy, even if his son is involved in the case, he can't get out of much of it, but the deputy commander-in-chief was only fined a certain amount of family property, and the position of the deputy commander-in-chief is still not moved.
