Chapter 164: This time and that time
Chen Yuanqiao was excited because he found out that Bu Gongzi was unusual, but Bu An had little interest in Chen Yuanqiao.
The trip to Jiaxing, let Bu An see the limitations of Linglong Fang, in the final analysis, it is only a commercial chain organization, and in the current era, it is too difficult for businessmen to influence politics.
Moreover, under the official position, all the talents above the top have flowed to the ruling class, even if the behind-the-scenes people in Linglong Fang are capable, the number of people they can gather is limited-this point, just look at Chen Yuanqiao, it is clear at a glance.
With this level of understanding, Bu'an decided to keep a proper distance from Linglong Fang, and occasionally it was okay to be mutually beneficial, but to avoid being too deeply involved.
That afternoon, after Chen Yuanqiao went back, he really relayed the news that the two lords of the angel and the domain were safe and sound.
From this moment on, he was still nominally a fellow acquaintance of Jiaxing, and now the highest-ranking imperial court official in Jiaxing City, from this moment on, he seemed to be stupid, and sat there until the next morning, when the officers and soldiers took him away from the Nanhu official post.
At this time, the right envoy Zhongcheng Li Yue had already embarked on the road back to Beijing. As for whether he will go by water or land, and where he will pass along the way, I am afraid that no one else knows except Li Yue himself.
And the huge earthquake in Jiaxing officialdom also became unsuspenseful because all the officials below Zhang Hangquail died in that fire.
On September 29 of the second year of Longxing, Kong Haoyan came to Jiaxing again, and this time, Zhang Juzheng, the criminal envoy of Jiangnan Dongdao, was inside, and many officials of all sizes came.
Investigate cases, quell chaos, arrest thieves, appease the people, and reorganize the official system...... According to the efficiency of people's work in these years, it will take some days for Jiaxing Mansion to return to the peaceful scene of the past.
However, the case of the righteous man Ah Si killing the prefect Bu Hongxuan settled at an unreasonable speed. In short, Bu Hongxuan was charged with six crimes, his wife and concubine sold official prostitutes, the second son Bu Wei Ping was a military Yanyou, and the adopted son Bu An was exempted from punishment because of the righteous killing of relatives.
These days, Bu An still lives in the annex of Linglong Fang on Wangxiu Street, Chen Yuanqiao has come and gone many times, not for anything else, I just want to ask Bu Gongzi to take action earlier and rescue Zhang Hangquail from prison.
At noon on October 2, Chen Yuanqiao went to Wangxiu Street again, but found that there was a commotion in the courtyard, and many people gathered inside and outside, and even the entrance of the courtyard was surrounded by lively neighbors.
He pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, only to see dozens of unfamiliar faces of men, women and children in the courtyard, surrounding Bu Gongzi, but Bu Gongzi was still lying on the bamboo recliner with a comfortable face.
Chen Yuanqiao only listened to one ear and knew what was going on.
It all comes down to money.
After Bu Hongxuan was convicted, according to the property in his name, all the farmhouses and shops had to be confiscated and confiscated, but the government opened the net for the first time and sent all the land deeds and house deeds to Bu'an.
Probably this matter is too strange, and the official who does the work is not strict, and I don't know how to do it, so the news leaked out, and it reached the Bu clan people within a few days.
At this time, the old man who claimed to be the third uncle of Bu'an, rushed over from Jiaxing with dozens of people; Bu'an's aunt, the only sister of the two brothers Bu Hongxuan and Bu Hongyuan, married Bu Cuifen in Haining County decades ago, and was also brought to Fucheng by her man.
When they heard the news, they naturally came for the property left by Bu Hongxuan, and the reason for saying it was also very straightforward: Bu Hongxuan was the head of the family, he did not leave any descendants, and the property behind him should be divided by the whole clan; Bu Cuifen's man, a businessman surnamed Tian, said that Bu Hongxuan owed his family more than 2,000 taels of silver and did not pay it back, and asked Bu An to take the land deed to pay off the debt.
There is a way that no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and Bu'an suddenly got the title deed worth more than 100,000 taels, which can be regarded as a rich one, but these distant relatives are really ugly.
Bu Anxin said that he had become a "Yuezhou tyrant" anyway, why did he not have any deterrent effect at all, could it be that the silver of white flowers strengthened the courage of these people?
Knowing this, it would be better to tell Kong Haoyan and ask him to convict Bu Hongxuan of being guilty of the nine clans......
In fact, Bu An was just thinking about it, he would not mention such specific conditions to Kong Haoyan, let alone behave so cold-blooded in front of this Confucian official. Besides, if there is such a big movement as the Nine Clans, the property in Bu Hongxuan's name will definitely be confiscated by the government.
The old man who called himself the third uncle looked to be seventy or eighty years old, and he sat in the whole courtyard except for Bu'an, but he was already trembling just sitting there, and every time he said a word, he had to take a few breaths before he could even out of breath.
The old man spoke in a not very authentic official dialect, and slowly explained a big truth, saying that he wanted to seek "justice".
Bu An's ears were calloused when he heard it, and he was extremely disdainful in his heart, but he also knew that in recent years, people have respected the old man to the point of hysteria, and if he quarrels with this half-cut old man, it will become unreasonable to be reasonable.
But he could bear it, but some people couldn't help it.
A young man in his early twenties, standing behind the third uncle of the Bu clan, lowered his head and snorted contemptuously: "It is okay for anyone to have the property of the Bu clan, but it can't be cheapened by the villain who recognizes the thief as his father......"
This time, there were a lot of young people who followed the third uncle to Fucheng, and when they first arrived in this big place, they were somewhat short of breath, but when they were teased by this sentence "recognize the thief as their father", they were a little excited, and their mouths gradually became not very clean.
And the third uncle seemed to be deaf, ignoring these words, just squinting at Bu'an.
At this time, Bu'an's uncle, a businessman surnamed Tian with a long face, waved his hand like a peacemaker and said: "At this time and that time, as long as An'er is reasonable, don't mention those old and rotten sesame things, don......'t mention it."
"How can you not mention it?" Bu An slowly sat up straight, shook his head and said: "You must mention it, you must mention it well, it is best to get to the bottom of it and explain it!"
Tian Shang was slightly stunned, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. The third uncle, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb just now, also frowned slightly, walked up and down with cloudy eyes, and took a good look at Bu'an.
Chen Yuanqiao saw it in his eyes, and only sweated for these Bu clan people, and said in his heart that it was not good to provoke anyone, and it would be Tai Sui's head. He moved a few steps, walked to Hua Yihan's side, and asked softly, "When did these people come?"
"It's only been a short time. Hua Yihan shrugged, her status in Linglong Fang was rising now, and when she talked to Chen Yuanqiao, she no longer talked about "hall master".
At this time, Bu An took the tea bowl from Su Su's hand, and after taking a sip, he returned the tea bowl to Su Su, stood up, and said softly: "Uncle Santai has a high birthday this year?"
“...... Four out of eighty. The old man replied.
"Gao Shou Gao Shou ......" Bu An nodded with a smile, and asked again: "Auntie also has thirty-five or sixteen this year, right?"
Bu Cuifen glanced at her man before she said softly, "Thirty-four." ”
"Hmm...... Thirty-four. Bu An smiled and nodded: "Ten years ago, the third uncle was seventy-four, and his body must have been much stronger than now, and my aunt was twenty-four years old, and she was in the prime ......of life."
"You talk nonsense, what do you mean to ......" The young man who had been hiding behind the third uncle and releasing cold arrows suddenly pointed at Bu'an and shouted.
said that it was too late, and before he could finish speaking, Bu An had already caught up with him, grabbed his arm, and dragged him over alive.
The crowd suddenly became chaotic, and then it became dead silent under Bu'an's interruption.
"Shut up!"
I saw Bu An pressing the disrespectful Bu clan member to the ground, breaking off the finger that was pointing at him just now, and said ruthlessly: "Call Dad!"
Beads of sweat were dripping down the man's face, and his lips were bitten purple, but he pursed his lips tightly.
Bu An didn't hesitate, and then broke one of his fingers: "Call Dad!"
When he grasped the third finger, the man finally couldn't hold on anymore and cried out "Daddy".
Bu An shook off his arm, shook his head with a smile, and said with a mocking expression: "I'm in my twenties! I just broke and dislocated his finger joints, and called me Dad! It turns out that this waste can only say some cool things......
He spread his hands and said to the third grandfather and uncle quite kindly: "When Bu Hongxuan forced my mother to death, I was only six years old, and your old man is seventy-four, so you should still be able to walk, right? Why haven't I seen you come out to say a fair word? But today I think of justice? Is this this the moment?"
The old man listened to the rolling of his Adam's apple, and his old face was extremely ugly.
Bu An's face gradually turned cold, he took a deep breath, and snorted contemptuously: "If I hadn't seen so many people today, I would have thought that the Bu clan would have died ten years ago!"
