Chapter 32: The Journey (2)
Before, Cen Erniang still regarded this money very lightly, thinking that it was not just 100,000 taels of silver, and in the past, her grandfather rewarded a Zhuangzi in the second room, which was more than worth so much.
But now, they have left Hong'an Cen's house, lost the big tree in the shade, the family is white, weak and weak, small, this money is likely to become a lifeline for their family!
The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, this warning saying, from childhood to the present, Cen Erniang has heard a lot! Take their own family as an example, this time, their family just got a rich grange from their grandfather, and their father is a concubine, but he is more promising than his son-in-law, and he is about to get ahead and embark on a career in office. In the final analysis, it was not her father who had a talent that did not match his identity and blocked the way of the big house, so that they were framed by others, and finally swept away by the Cen family.
Cen Erniang decided almost immediately: She can't hold the money on her alone, and she must not let outsiders know!
Nowadays, the southeast coast and the northern grasslands of Dajing are restless, and there are countless pirates and barbarians who cause trouble. The north and southeast are chaotic and have become the go-to places for those who have fled with lawsuits.
If the group of dart masters in the dart bureau learned that she was pregnant with a huge amount of money, there might be so many people with bad intentions who killed people and seized money, and most of the people in the Hong'an dart bureau came from the rivers and lakes, and it was inevitable that the good and the bad would be mixed. Anyway, with this money, it is okay for them to flee to the beach or the grassland to settle down and hide for a year or two.
Or, they can also move their families to other places, change their lives, and become landowners, which can ensure that at least three generations of children and grandchildren can live without worry.
Lipber has told her many examples of this. If she has read it, there are many similar stories in the book. There are also the Di Bao issued by the government and the old case files of the Criminal Department, and she borrowed the light of the Dafang sisters and the Liu family sisters, and she has not read it. There are many cases of murder and treasure seized in it, especially in recent years, there are many such things, and only five or six out of ten cases have been cracked by the government.
I can't help but have more eyes on her heart.
In the blink of an eye, Cen Erniang made up her mind. She first went to her parents and brothers' rooms, told them not to mention money to outsiders, and then gave Er Ye Cen and the Lin family a purse, and she carried three of them herself.
Cen Erniang knew that her eldest brother and third brother, one careless and the other young, should not carry a large amount of money on them, and if one was not careful, they would lose it, so she still took it with her own confidence.
Subsequently, Cen Erniang gathered a group of domestic servants and closed the door to give a lecture, so that everyone should not discuss the affairs of the master's family with outsiders, especially about family wealth, and not a word could be divulged. If she violates it, she will either be killed with a rod or sold by her to the sea or the grassland.
Everyone said again and again that they understood and would never talk nonsense. As a servant in the Cen family, no one knows what the seaside and grassland are, and if one is not careful, but he will be beheaded by troublesome pirates and barbarians! Those places are not good places to go.
Cen Erniang bowed her head and expressed satisfaction with everyone's knowledge. Then he told them to go down and get on with their work. She doesn't know that some people can't be prevented even if you guard it strictly.
……
At the same time, in the hall of the Gaofu Partial Courtyard in Lotus Alley, Nancheng Hong'an Mansion, the third master of high school and several of his "good brothers" who were mixed with the rivers and lakes were drinking and talking.
One of them, who is nearly forty years old, full of fat intestines, and drunk with red faces, is Zhao Jifu, the owner of Jixiang Casino, who is sitting on the left hand side of the third year of high school, drinking wine, and listening to the third year of high school old man ask, where to find a killer with a tight mouth and a quick job.
Zhao Jifu squeezed the fat into a slit of his small eyes, narrowed it into a thread, and asked the third master with a smile: "Third master, why do you ask about this?" Which one is not long-eyed and gets in the way of your business? You sue me, I'll find someone to settle him for you! ”
Without waiting for the third master to speak, Feng Siye, the boss of the Green Gang sitting on his right hand, said boldly: "Killing people with such dirty hands, where do you need the third brother to do it." Give me your name, I have a lot of good helpers, and I dare to provoke my third brother, and my younger brother told him that he would not live for ten days. ”
As soon as I heard his tone, I knew that he had a better relationship with the senior master. is obviously a person who has no relationship, but he is commensurate with brothers, which shows that he is close.
As soon as Feng Siye's words fell, a trace of resentment flashed in Zhao Jifu's eyes: This Feng Laosi, relying on the third master of high school, has the support of the Gao family behind him, so he will not take him seriously. Over the years, I have been against him everywhere.
Back then, too, when the senior high school master was robbed of the oiran in Qing and Lou and several foreign wealthy businessmen, and was beaten up, the sinister boy got the news, and while sending someone to block the people in his gambling house, he personally led people to find a place for the senior high school master.
It was that time that he helped the senior master of high school to get angry, and afterwards, the two became brothers with different surnames.
Over the years, the Qing Gang has been under the protection of the Gao family, and has grown stronger and stronger, and has also collected protection money from his auspicious casino. He Zhao Jifu came out earlier than Feng Laosi, but he was pressed by him, which made people feel depressed.
If it weren't for the fact that the sophomore master of high school was transferred to the capital last year, and the prefect of Hong'an Mansion was replaced, the newly appointed prefect would treat everyone equally, and he would not know where to be squeezed out.
But his eyes were too small to see. The others saw him smiling and didn't know what he was thinking.
The third senior master patted Feng Erye's shoulder, and suddenly laughed: "Fourth brother, you are really righteous!" The third brother didn't misread you. After that, he turned his head to Zhao Jifu on the other side and said, "Of course, Lao Zhao, you are also my good brother!" ”
At this time, Guo Feng, the big man with a hideous scar on his face opposite the third master, spoke: "Third master, you want to find a killer, we are in the Cao Gang, and there are many capable people, and I am willing to listen to your dispatch." ”
Guo Feng is the third-in-command of the Cao Gang, and he is also the head of the Cao Gang on the Beicheng Canal in Hong'an Prefecture.
"Good!" The senior high school master slapped the table with his right hand, "If there are a few brothers, my senior year of high school is satisfied." Come, I'll toast three of you! ”
"The third master and the third brother are polite." Zhao Jifu, Feng Siye, and Guo Feng all raised their glasses and touched the third master of high school. After raising their heads and drinking, while the senior master was not paying attention, the three of them exchanged a look, and they all saw in each other's eyes that they were determined to win.
The elder brother of the third master, the second master of high school, was transferred to the capital, but his former classmate Yang Shuitang took over Hong'an Mansion and became the new prefect.
In the past, when this person was in the scientific examination, he had to be helped by the second master of high school, and even later transferred to the rich place of Hong'an Mansion as the prefect, which was also facilitated by the second master of high school. He has a very good relationship with the second master of high school, and knows that the second master of high school is most at ease with the third master of high school, and promised the second master that he will take care of the third master of high school and let him continue to be free in the realm of Hong'an Mansion.
However, the Yang Governor only agreed to take care of the senior master, but did not promise to take care of the group of "good brothers" behind him.
At this time, in order to pass through the bridge of the third master of high school and set up a relationship with the prefect of Yang, Zhao Jifu, Feng Siye and Guo Feng, the three local snakes, have begun to work hard, ready to squeeze out the other two and please the third master.
