Hung Yen Bo House.

"What about the son of a?"

Xu Mengxi looked at Xu Mao with a little nervousness.

Xu Mao handed over a letter nervously: "Old... Sir, this... This was left by the little master. ”

Xu Mengxi listened, his face suddenly changed greatly, he quickly snatched it over, opened it and looked at it, only to see that the old face slowly became iron-blue, and before he finished reading it, he tore the letter to shreds excitedly, and said: "This stinky boy, do you have to be angry with the old man to give up." ”

Xu Mao hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, master, didn't the little young master say in the letter, he is going with King Lu, there should be no danger." ”

Xu Mengxi said depressedly: "Who is worried about whether he is in danger, don't you know, now Guo Dan has offended all the officials in the world, all the scholars, not to mention our family, even those businessmen dare not go with Guo Dan, that bastard boy just made up for it, this is a little careless, and my Xu family may be compensated." ”

Xu Mao frowned and said, "Do you want to send someone to chase after you now?" ”

Xu Mengxi gasped and said: "If you send someone to chase after you, wouldn't it tell everyone that the stinky boy also went with him, the old man didn't hear that King Lu would also go with Guo Dan, it seems that there are not many people who know that they went." ”

As he spoke, he sat down again and said, "It must be Guo Dan's profiteer who is getting in the way, anyway, no matter what bad things he does, he has to pull the old man, he is taking revenge on recommending him to His Majesty." Yes, the old man originally wanted to borrow his talents, so that His Majesty would no longer borrow silver taels from the Taifu Temple, but he did not lose anything because of this, but earned more, and he also took revenge on the old man, but he still refused to let the old man go. ”

At this time, Xu Mengxi was like a resentful woman, chattering endlessly.

Xu Mao said: "Master, it's too late to say this, it's better to think of a way to keep our Xu family out of the way." ”

Xu Mengxi said: "If there is a way, will the old man wait until now, Guo Dan is very insidious, and he colludes with His Majesty, how can the old man be their opponent." ”

Xu Mao hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, why don't you get the eldest lady back, at least there is someone to discuss." ”

Xu Mengxi was even more furious when she heard this: "Don't mention that unfilial daughter to the old man in the future, since she returned to the capital, the old man has asked you to find her several times, but how she said it, you know best, the old man has not done enough, hum, the old man should not have given birth to this daughter, anyway, this daughter cannot be passed on." ”

......

It is not unreasonable for Xu Mengxi to be so anxious, because this matter is about to evolve into a zero-sum game.

Before Guo Dan left, Wanli had told him not to toss too much, to be forgiving and forgiving, this was actually just to show confidence in him, because whether to toss or not is not Guo Dan's final say, whether he tosses or not, the other party has to toss him hard.

Although the children of merchants in the Ming Dynasty could participate in the imperial examinations, and the status of merchants was improved, the children of merchants participated in the imperial examinations, and he was a scholar, not a businessman.

The imperial examination is the foundation of the official standard and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

A businessman suddenly takes over a government, which is undoubtedly an impact on the official position, and naturally harms the interests of scholars all over the world.

Don't underestimate the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, although Zhang Juzheng closed the academy at the beginning and did not allow the scholars to discuss current affairs, but this atmosphere has been formed, resulting in the Ming Dynasty's scholars like to gather together, and this atmosphere has not been broken, especially after Zhang Juzheng's death, they got together again in the name of carrying out various associations, discussing current affairs and criticizing the imperial court.

This is also why the officials of the Ming Dynasty dared to defy the emperor, even if they were resigned, when they returned to their hometowns, the scholars would support him, as long as they were famous, they would not worry about running out of money.

When Guo Dan's team was in Gyeonggi, the situation was relatively good, after all, it was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and only occasionally some scholars stood on the side of the road and sarcastically said a few words.

However, Henan Province is just below this Gyeonggi land, next to each other, and when Gyeonggi comes out, it is Zhangdefu in Henan, and Zhangdeokfu is Weihui Mansion down.

But as soon as I arrived at the border of Zhangde Province, the situation immediately became very bad.

It's groups of people who read books blocking the road and scolding.

Although they don't scold "draft old mother" and "stupid X", they scold it very badly, anyway, they don't even scold eunuchs.

Having said that, Guo Dan is indeed inferior to a eunuch, a eunuch still has an official position and rank, but Guo Dan is not an official, he is still a son-in-law, he has the right to be nameless, and it is natural for scholars to scold businessmen, no one is afraid, and there are many people who come to scold.

Of course, this is all driven by public opinion.

Not only did the Zhangde Mansion not send someone to pick it up, but it didn't care at all, let them scold, and never saw the local officials.

Although Guo Dan's guards were Wanli's pro-army, and they were ordered to rush over, they couldn't stop them, but Guo Dan didn't choose to do this, anyway, he encountered a lot of scholars in front of him scolding, so he took a detour.

It has been several days since he left Gyeonggi, but Guo Dan's convoy is still roaming the border of Jangdeok Province.

It is very bitter.

The chief of the guard can't stand it anymore, you guys are too bullying, really when the knife in our hands is made of paper, we all have a "murder license", he once suggested Guo Dan, rush over and forget it, the more you retreat, the more fierce they scream, you rush at him a few waves, they don't dare to be so arrogant anymore.

But Guo Dan always chose to avoid it.

"Captain Guo, there are scholars blocking the road in front of you."

The captain of the guard came to the carriage and reported.

I only heard someone in the car say: "Didn't I say that if a scholar blocks the road, then take a detour." ”

The chief of the guard was puzzled: "But... But if you go around again, you will enter the territory of Shanxi. ”

The person in the car said, "Isn't it okay to go in?" ”

"That's not it, we have His Majesty's decree, you can go wherever you want."

"Then let's go around the territory of Shanxi."

“......。”

There was no way, the team could only go around to Shanxi.

.....

The west of this Zhangde Mansion is Shanxi, and the east is the Daimyo's Mansion, which has outstanding people and profound cultural heritage, and the city is also very prosperous and lively.

On this day, a group of passers-by came to the city of the Daimyo's mansion, and in front of them were three young people, the oldest in their early twenties, each with a folding fan, walking side by side, coquettish.

I saw the folding fan in the middle with four big characters written in his hand, "It's so idle that it hurts"!

On the left and right side of the paper fan is a wonderful painting.

These three people are Guo Dan, Zhu Yihua and Xu Jirong.

It turned out that Guo Dan did not follow the convoy together, and it was Xiao Chenchen who was sitting in the car at this time. As soon as he left the capital, Guo Dan secretly disguised himself, and then took Yang Feixu and ran to find Xu Jirong and Zhu Yihua.

"Crane Tower?"

Coming to a building, Guo Dan stopped and said to the two fools: "Why don't you have a light meal here." ”

Zhu Yihua glared at Guo Dan with puffed eyes and said: "Eat Laoshizi rice, hurry up and find a place to fight the landlord, this... Lao Tzu wants to turn over the book. ”

It just so happened that at this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly appeared in the building, with a fat head and big ears, a red face, and two sturdy idlers behind him. ”

Zhu Yihua glanced at the middle-aged uncle and wondered, "What do I say to you?" ”

Guo Dan was also confused.

The middle-aged man said: "Did you just say that you want to fight the landlord?" ”

"So what?" Zhu Yihua said.

The middle-aged man snorted: "I'm a landlord, you go and inquire about the old Huang family in Tiekou Village, Daimyo's Mansion." ”

Dare to love is what it is. Guo Dan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and suddenly remembered that this was a landlord era, and he really couldn't fight, and when he was about to explain, he only heard Zhu Yihua say angrily: "What kind of landlord are you, do you have a red heart 3?" ”

Xu Jirong immediately shouted: "Brother is right, you can't be called a landlord without Red Heart 3." ”

"Red Heart Mountain?"

The middle-aged man wondered.

Guo Dan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly explained: "This uncle, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, we are talking about the landlord who grows beans." At the same time, he glared at Xu Jirong and Zhu Yihua.

"It turned out to be a landlord who planted beans."

The middle-aged man suddenly realized and asked, "What is the Red Heart Mountain?" ”

How can you have so many why? Guo Dan was also drunk, and said perfunctorily: "We are talking about a game, that is, whoever can grab this Red Heart Mountain is proud of the local owner." ”

"I see."

The middle-aged man suddenly burped, glanced at the few of them, and staggered away.

Guo Dan looked at Zhu Yihua and Xu Jirong again and said, "Low-key, low-key, do you understand?" ”

Zhu Yihua said excitedly: "It's him who came to trouble me, but it's not me who troubles him, if it's usual, he has to beat him all over the ground looking for teeth, I'm already very low-key." ”

Guo Dan rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, eat first, and then discuss what to play after eating." ”

Zhu Yihua said arrogantly: "I don't eat here for dinner." ”

Guo Dan asked, "Where to eat, do you have a familiar restaurant here?" ”

"Qinglou, of course." Zhu Yihua looked at Xu Jirong again and said, "Brother Rong, do you say yes?" ”

Xu Jirong shook his head and said: "I just got rid of those concubines in the family, you let me go to the Qinglou again, don't go, don't go, I want to be with a man now, I think I'll eat here." ”

"Two to one."

Guo Dan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Zhu Yihua, walked in directly, and took these two fools to the Qinglou, it would be a miracle if he didn't get into trouble.

"What two to one, and Xiao Fei."

Zhu Yihua looked back at Yang Feixu, who was dressed as a man, but the two cold gazes almost made him impotent, and he hurriedly followed.

It's just past dinner time, and there aren't many people in this restaurant.

Soon, a bartender greeted him.

Guo Dan didn't say a word, and threw a piece of broken silver to him, "Give us a private room." ”

The bartender took the silver, and immediately looked flattering, and very enthusiastically invited them to a private room upstairs.

"A few distinguished guests are from the capital."

The bartender smiled flatteringly.

"Tongzhou people, I'm going to go to Kaifeng Mansion to do some business."

Guo Dan asked again: "By the way, from here to Kaifeng Mansion, which way to go closer?" ”

When the bartender heard that they were traders, his face was much more relaxed, and he said: "If you want to say that the nearest road, of course, is to go to the southwest, and you can reach Kaifeng Mansion through Zhangde Mansion and Weihui Mansion, but I advise you not to go that way, and take a detour to the south, but it is not much." ”

Guo Dan was curious: "Why do you want to take a detour?" ”

The bartender immediately said: "That Weihui Mansion is now turbulent and chaotic, but it is not safe, and many traders have taken a detour to the south to Kaifeng. ”

Guo Dan was even more curious: "Now that it is a peaceful and prosperous era, why is this Weihui Mansion in chaos?" ”

The bartender glanced out of the door twice, then closed the door and said, "The three are from Tongzhou, and they should know that the saint chose to build the Luwang Mansion in Weihui Mansion. ”

Zhu Yihua glanced at it and said, "What if you know?" ”

Guo Dan hurriedly stopped Zhu Yihua and said with a smile: "Of course I know about this, but I don't know what the connection is?" ”

The bartender said: "The three of them don't know, the Lu Wangfu is really harmful, it has been built for three years, and it has not been completed, in the past three years, those officials have asked for money everywhere in the name of Jianlu Wangfu, not to mention the Weihui Mansion, even our Daimyo Mansion and Hejian Mansion have taken a lot of money to go, and our restaurant has been asked for a lot of money."

That Weihui Mansion is even more miserable, in the past few years, the crops have been in arrears every year, and the people have no surplus grain after paying taxes, but those officials are trying their best to increase taxes, and those who can't pay taxes are dragged to Nalu Wangfu as laborers, and many people have been exhausted to death. ”

Speaking of this, he whispered: "I heard that during the Chinese New Year this year, what are the people of Weihui Mansion praying for?" ”

Guo Dan hurriedly asked, "What are you praying for?" ”

"They are all praying that King Lu will die soon, if King Lu dies, then King Lu's mansion will not need to be built."

Bang!

Zhu Yihua slapped the table, stood up and came: "What did you say?" ”

The bartender was startled.

"That's really unreasonable, then King Lu is really damned!"

Guo Dan also slapped the table and scolded angrily.

"Oops!"

The bartender hurriedly said, "You should be quiet, don't let the spies from the East Factory listen." ”

Hearing Guo Dan scolding like this, he put his mind at ease.

Zhu Yihua glared at Guo Dan angrily, then sat down and gasped for breath.

Xu Jirong looked at Zhu Yihua with wide eyes.

Zhu Yihua's face was a little unbearable, and he said in a low voice: "What do you think I do?" ”

Xu Jirong grinned and said, "Brother, don't be angry, I just think that the prayers of the people of Weihui Mansion are useless." ”

Zhu Yihua was about to cry when he heard it.

Guo Dan continued to ask: "This magistrate hanged himself, doesn't the court care?" ”

The bartender snorted softly: "If you know that this is the result, the court might as well ignore it." ”

Guo Dan was curious: "How do you say this?" ”

The bartender said: "It's not that the imperial court didn't care, but I heard that a merchant was sent to take over Weihui Mansion." ”

"Merchants in charge?"

Guo Dan was surprised: "This is really strange. ”

The bartender said: "What's so strange about this, it must be that the court wants to protect King Lu, and he didn't dare to send officials to investigate the case, so he sent a businessman to continue to make money, I heard that the businessman is still a tooth man, and he knows that he is very treacherous without thinking, and now not to mention Weihui Mansion, even Zhangde Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion have made trouble, and many people of insight have played the court to let the court take back their lives." ”

It seems that their public opinion propaganda is very well done. Guo Dan nodded.

Zhu Yihua immediately said: "That's right, the tooth should die." ”

Guo smiled and said, "All deserve to die, all deserve to die." ”

Xu Jirong said hehehe: "This official can't manage it well, maybe sending a businessman will have a miraculous effect." ”

The bartender hurriedly said, "I'm really sorry, I don't have a problem with merchants, many of the people who come to eat here are merchants." But this is no wonder to the local officials, they have no choice, they are all made by the Lu Palace, and now the mansion has been built, and the people of Weihui Mansion have been bored, and when the King Lu comes, we all have to suffer, this is not the first time, as long as there is a vassal king in Henan Province, the people of our Daimyo Mansion have to be skinned. ”

Zhu Yihua shouted: "You are a bartender who is so long-winded, whether you can serve it or not, if you don't serve it, we will eat it somewhere else." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the villain is talkative."

The bartender shuddered.

"It's okay, it's okay. He was just hungry. ”

Guo Dan took out another ingot of broken silver and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for you." ”

PS: Hahahaha.... What more can I say? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but the next one will be sent out before 12 o'clock.
