Chapter 83: The City

When Hu Jiuling was overjoyed and ordered someone to prepare a car and hurried to the dock, Shen Jinshan, who had just sent Song Qinwen away not long after he was in the Shen family's house, reacted completely differently.

Originally, there were so many things happened yesterday, and when the deed was stolen and he was in a trance, he was agitated by the Sun family, and after unknowingly saying most of the ugly things about the Shen family in front of so many people, his mood had reached the bottom. I thought that the most unlucky thing was nothing more than that, but I didn't expect that the more unlucky ones were still to come.

"What did you say?"

"If you go back to the master, someone outside is dealing with the Shen family's house deed, and Master Sun and Master Wu are ......."

Although he suffered heavy losses yesterday, and even almost got angry with his asthma attack again, Shen Jinshan held back. What should have happened has already happened, what's the use of being angry? It is best to think about recovering losses in time and settling accounts after the situation is reversed.

Although he lost face outside the mansion gate, as soon as he returned to the mansion gate, he quickly held back his temper, and then changed into inconspicuous clothes and sneaked out of the corner gate while people were unprepared. All the way to the yamen, a few silver tickets with enough amount were handed over, and those who were officials were very easy to talk to. They assured him that everyone in Qingcheng knew which industries belonged to the Shen family. He, the head of the Shen family, is still there, and there is no reason to change his name and surname just by virtue of a house deed.

After receiving the guarantee, he can finally rest assured that as long as the family property is still there, and he will keep the position of head of the association again, it will not take a year and a half to gradually improve. When the time comes, those who bully him and betray him, he will slowly clean up one by one.

After counting down dozens of steps, until the Shen family annexed the Hu family, he was in charge of the entire Qingcheng Silk Market and stood at the top of the merchants of Great Xia. Thinking about a better future, Shen Jinshan had a sweet dream this night.

But halfway through the dream, he was awakened by the news that Song Qinwen had returned to the city. Ah Ci and Song Qinwen are in one place, he is clear, although there is the guarantee of the yamen, but if the deed can be recovered, of course, it is the safest. Half-asleep, he straightened up with a carp and personally led people to catch Song Qinwen, but the result of the question made him frightened.

The unfilial girl was entangled with King Ping, and those deeds all fell into the hands of King Ping.

At that time, he began to feel furious in his heart, if King Ping insisted on disposing of these deeds, then those petty officials he had dotted could still help?

I know that it is impossible to think with my toes!

How could those officials who were unprofitable and couldn't afford to be early offend the high-ranking King Ping for his silver ticket.

Of course, he didn't fully believe Song Qinwen's words. His own daughter knows that Ah Ci has inherited his shrewdness and is well versed in the way of choosing trees and perching on good birds. Except for his background, King Ping has nothing to show his hands on. His daughter, who was so shrewd as to sell people and let people count her money, would she really choose such a person?

Now the two forces in Qingcheng, King Ping and Little Marquis, which one is more credible is clear at a glance.

What if it's the little marquis?

Although all kinds of signs point to King Ping, there is no evidence that it has anything to do with the little marquis, but in the dark, Shen Jinshan just thinks that maybe this is the truth of the whole thing.

If it is really the little marquis, then the position of the head of the meeting in front may even be a big bait. Just thinking about this possibility made him feel black in front of him.

Sitting in the wide circle chair in the study, he kept weighing the two possibilities, obviously it was a cold weather, but the sweat on his head was dripping down from both sides. The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and before I could fully understand it, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside, and then the person who came in sued him that someone was selling the Shen family's house deed.

Suddenly, he was struck by lightning, his mind was blank, and he subconsciously grabbed the tea cup in front of him.

"Master Ben heard me clearly, I don't need you to say it a second time, get out!"

The teacup slammed down on the head of the person who reported the news in front of him, and he was bloodied. Hearing the last word "roll", the messenger covered his face three steps and retreated in two steps.

And in the study, Shen Jinshan's whole hand was trembling, and a voice kept telling him in his heart: King Ping is not so fast, it must be the little marquis.

"Prepare the car, go to Sun's house!"

When Hu Jiuling's carriage went all the way west and passed in front of the Shen family, the gate of the Shen family, which had been closed since the farce at noon yesterday, finally opened, and Shen Jinshan's gorgeous carriage drove out of it.

The two carriages met in the open space in front of the mansion, and it was strange to say, it was clear that Hu Jiuling was just an ordinary carriage, which was completely inconspicuous compared to Shen Jinshan's elaborate exclusive carriage, but due to the influence of recent events, the Shen family felt embarrassed, and the coachman was hunched in the face of the Hu family's carriage, his eyes drifted, and he looked shrunken. Not only the coachman, but even the horse pulling the cart was affected by his own master, Hu Jiama raised his neck high and stepped on his front hooves to gasp, while Shen Jiama bent his neck and retreated back with four hooves in an evasive posture. Coupled with these two points exposed outside the carriage, this will make the Hu family's carriage even more eye-catching than the Shen family's carriage.

"Brother Shen didn't rest, okay? It's a little hard to look at in good spirits. ”

"Brother Hu is the spirit of Ryoma, I don't know when I will be able to get Lin'er?"

The speed of the two cars slowed down between the two cars, and the two of them took a look at each other when the curtain was opened, and the air was full of the smell of gunpowder.

"Brother Shen really didn't rest, Hu had a daughter thirteen years ago. Ah Yao's child is well-behaved, oh, it's not good to mention this matter in front of Brother Shen, after all, the girl of the Shen family ...... The hour is not early, Hu still has important things, so he will leave first. ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shen Jinshan's reaction, Hu Jiuling put down the curtain and ordered the coachman outside to set off.

When did he Shen Jinshan ever be run by his daughter? A few years ago, when Ah Ci became famous, the girl of the Hu family was still clamoring to buy candy in the back house! Angry to the point that his chest rose and fell, Shen Jinshan could only comfort himself like this. But no matter how comforting he is, he also knows the reality, with such two masters, the girl of the Hu family is now not losing to the man at all, not only does she not lose, but in terms of the help to the business, she is even better than anyone in Qingcheng. Compared with Ah Ci's petty fights, people are the real skills.

Thinking like this, he began to complain about Shen Moci, and he had clearly promised to worship Mo Daru as a teacher that day, why didn't he succeed in the end?

"It's just a desperate family, continue to go to Sun's house."

When Shen Jinshan's carriage arrived at Sun's house, the account room brought by King Ping was chatting happily with Master Sun.

Hearing the report from the porter, Master Sun immediately became angry, "I didn't go to Shen's house to look for him, and he still dared to go to my Sun's door?" ”。 After finishing speaking, he bowed his hand to the account room and said that he was annoyed, and he ordered the nursing home to copy the guys, and personally led people towards the door.

Shen Jinshan had already expected this, and seeing the battle, he directly ordered his subordinates to retreat, and rushed to the front in three or two steps.

"Today, Shen is standing in this uncle's fight, but there is a sentence that Shen has to say, do you think this deed is so good? What punishment did the Zhang family who privately swallowed silkworm farmland get sentenced to? I don't think I can remember the year very long. ”

As soon as he said this, Master Sun also remembered that it was three years ago, and the two whole fields of the Zhang family in the east of the city were separated by three acres of land, so he wanted to buy the three acres of land, but the owner of the land did not do it. The Zhang family relied on the big business and wanted to forcibly collect it, but during the dispute, a shovel slapped on the head of the old man of the family. The old man was nearly sixty years old, and his health was not good, so he had more gas and less air on the spot, and within two hours of carrying him back, his family began to wear linen and filial piety.

This incident caused a lot of trouble, and even alarmed the state capital. Lord Zhizhou personally interrogated, charged him with several crimes, and sentenced the old man of the Zhang family to be beheaded in the autumn.

The son of the Zhang family is still young, and Mr. Zhang is the pillar of the family. When he fell, the entire Zhang family soon couldn't hold on, and was eaten up by other merchants in Qingcheng, and he also conspired with Shen Jinshan to annex Zhangjiatian's property at that time.

"Don't bluff me, it was because of someone's death."

"The Shen family has accumulated this little thing for a hundred years, if it is lost in my hands, what face will I have to live in the world?" Shen Jinshan said with emotion, but his eyes kept looking at the two stone lions at the door of Sun's house. The meaning is very clear: if you don't promise me today, I'll die headfirst here.

"You ......" Master Sun stomped his feet: "Shen Jinshan, how has my Sun family been all these years?" Do you wholeheartedly support the Shen family? But what kind of warm pot banquet did you make in front of you, and half of my family property was lost, and then yesterday's military salary banquet, the ten taels of silver simply stripped off my grandson's face. Isn't it all your fault for such heavy losses? ”

"The previous matter was indeed Shen's fault, but now it involves the accumulation of my Shen family for a hundred years."

"Your Shen family has accumulated for a hundred years, is it possible that my Sun family has accumulated less?" Master Sun was really angry, "Anyway, the deed is not in your hands, sooner or later it will change hands, rather than cheapening others, it is better to let me buy a few more properties, which can be regarded as making up for the loss." ”

"Hey, it seems that the eldest brother really wants to force Shen to die here!"

While talking, Shen Jinshan trotted towards the stone lion in front of Sun's house. Seeing that blood was about to be splashed on the spot, Master Sun was anxious, "Stop him!" ”

"No need to stop!"

An old man's voice suddenly came from behind the gatehouse, and Mrs. Sun came out, followed by the accounting room sent by King Ping.

"The old man married the girl to the Shen family that day, hoping to marry the two surnames and help each other in business. I didn't expect him to treat my daughter like this all these years, this is not an in-laws, it is completely an enemy. It's him who is sorry for my grandson's family first, let him hit it, and he died in it, which is also considered to be an atonement for your sister. ”

Old Madam Sun's words were really useful, and there was no one to save Shen Jinshan, and he stopped when he saw that he was about to hit the stone lion.

"The old lady really speaks better than she sings, and most of the Sun family's wealth is not obtained by my Shen family. After so many years, the Sun family should know that Shen still has some skills. If you take this shop today......"

"What if you take it?"

The account room, which had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Master Shen wants to give the girl to His Royal Highness King Ping as a concubine, and even take these with him to pay homage to the past." His Royal Highness King Ping doesn't look down on these gadgets, and his life is disposed of casually, so what's wrong? ”

"This, Shen has not ......"

"Did Master Shen never communicate with His Royal Highness King Ping, or did he never give Miss Shen to His Royal Highness King Ping as a concubine?"

Master Sun was busy testifying, "Shen Jinshan is indeed close to His Royal Highness King Ping. ”

One sentence completely smashed this matter, and it also smashed Shen Jinshan completely stunned. Left and right Fengyuan has always been his greatest ability, and just last night he was planning how to stabilize King Ping, use his power to eliminate the influence of his unfavorable reputation, and take the opportunity to sit on the head of the meeting. Then how to catch up with more powerful people after being strong, such as Xiao Hou Ye, and then climb up step by step.

This is not his wishful thinking, over the years since he took over the Shen family, he has gradually made the Shen family stand out from many ordinary silk merchants and become a behemoth that can be compared with the Hu family. This has always been his proudest point, but he never imagined that one day this sharp weapon in his hand would suddenly be aimed at him.

At this moment, Shen Jinshan felt unprecedented despair.

When he was desperate, he looked at the people around him and pointed at him, and the account office breathed a sigh of relief. The errand handed over by the little marquis is not easy to handle, thanks to Shen Jinshan making such a fuss, otherwise he wouldn't know how to put all the responsibility on King Ping's head.
