Chapter 179: The Ten Families Reunite (1)
In the inner hall of the Li family, the ten major families of Muping County gathered once again.
Since Zhang Junping came, the number of gatherings of the top ten families has obviously been more frequent than before, I don't know how many times.
It can be seen how jealous the top ten families are of Zhang Junping.
"Today, when I found 130,000 taels of silver and more than 10,000 taels of gold from the cottage in Banshangu, my heart was about to jump out!
Fortunately, Zhang Zhixian didn't notice the problem of gold and silver! Liu Daojie reported what happened during the day today as usual.
"It's so thrilling! If the magistrate notices the problem of gold and silver, it will be troublesome! The head of the Wu family rejoiced.
"I'm afraid it's not that I didn't notice, but I didn't point it out!" The face of the head of the Li family became very ugly.
"What does the kid surnamed Zhang want to do?"
"Brother Zhou, you should be careful when you speak, don't open your mouth and close your mouth is a kid surnamed Zhang, after all, he is the magistrate sent by the imperial court!" The head of the Li family reminded.
"What are you afraid of, I didn't say it in front of him!"
"I'm afraid that you will call it smooth, and call it out to your face!"
"What about calling it out?"
"How? Do you think your Zhou family can confront the imperial court?
Dengzhou Mansion can't help the mid-mountain valley, Zhang Zhixian will be cleared in one night!
Do you think that your Zhou family is more powerful than the bandits in the middle of the mountain? The head of the Wu family sneered beside him.
"This can't be compared, but Brother Zhou, you still have to pay attention!
The county order to destroy the door is not a joke! The head of the Sun family and the Zhou family are relatively close, and they also reminded.
Seeing that everyone said this, the head of the Zhou family stopped talking.
"Let's discuss how to deal with it!
Before, none of us thought that the county was secretly hiding so many people!
According to Zhou Quan and Sun Xu, the so-called family members of those people are all elites of the forbidden army, and everyone's martial arts are no worse than them!
It can be seen that our new magistrate is not small!
I just don't know what he's up to!
And how much do you know about our affairs! The head of the Li family made a concluding speech.
"Yes! Who would have thought that the new magistrate had more than seventy elite soldiers hidden in private, and we didn't even know how many were hidden in secret! ”
"You say, is it possible that our affairs have been exposed, and this new magistrate is here for us!"
"Brother Wu, don't scare yourself, if our affairs are exposed, it won't be a magistrate!
It's the forbidden army of the Jingshi!
In my opinion, the reason why the new magistrate has so many masters under his hands is really possible, as he said, it is his family!
With him with him, he can deal with some things that are inconvenient for him to handle!
After all, my family is a military general, the founding father, and it is normal for my family to train some family members to be pro-army! The head of the Zhang family, who had not expressed his opinion, spoke.
"Hey, Brother Zhang, you said that your family, you go back and check the family tree, is it possible that your two families were originally one family?
If only you could get a relative, it would be easy to do! The head of the Sun family said with a smile.
"What do you think! Even if it can really be continued, it was more than 20 generations ago, and our Zhang family has not separated from the clansmen since they moved to Muping County three hundred years ago!
Relatives from more than 20 generations ago, have a fart? The head of the Zhang family smiled bitterly.
How did he not know what the head of the Sun family said, as soon as he heard that Xinzhi County had taken office, he checked the family tree.
It can't be continued at all.
"Well, don't think about what you have or don't!
Now, let's talk about how to deal with it!
Our new magistrate is not a good stubble, we can't wait for him to launch, then we will be passive!
It may even be like a night in the middle of the mountain, and it will be wiped out overnight! The head of the Li family listened to them getting farther and farther away, so he had to knock on the table and pull the topic back.
"What can I do now?
You can't go and confess to the magistrate, right? ”
"Surely you can't confess, then you can't be a fool?"
"Or ...... Why don't you find something to do for the county! He doesn't have the energy to mind our business! ”
"Looking for something? Can he listen to us? ”
"Didn't Zhou Quan report that the new magistrate wanted to repair reservoirs, canals, and control brine?
Ten of us, plus some other small families, contributed money together to help him repair reservoirs, repair canals, and control brine!
In this way, his energy will be involved in reservoirs and canals!
I don't have the energy to mind our business!
The reservoir can't be repaired in a year or two, and it is estimated that before the reservoir is repaired, others will have already left Muping County!
When the time comes, we will find a way to get one of our own people to come over and be the magistrate!
As for Weibin's matter, we were wrong from the beginning, and we shouldn't have planned the location of Zhixian for Weibin!
The imperial court will not let a local serve as the magistrate! The head of the Li family said with a deep groan.
"A few of us pooled money to help the county build a reservoir, and the canal can also be used!
Spread it evenly, and it won't cost much for a family!
It's considered to be a ruined fortune and a disaster! The head of the Wu family nodded in agreement.
"I agree to make money, but I don't agree to share it equally, if you want to make money, you will also pay according to our respective shares!" The head of the Liu family spoke.
"Then make up the money according to the share, what are your opinions?" The head of the Li family did not argue with the head of the Liu family on these details, and readily agreed to his request.
"I agree!"
"I have no opinion!"
"If you want me to say, why don't we go out and destroy him, and it's a hundred!
Directly push it to the bandits for revenge and killing!
How hassle-free! The head of the Zhou family was dissatisfied.
Even if the ten major families and some small families pay money together, each family will have to pay tens of thousands, and the head of the Zhou family is a little reluctant.
"Confused!
Can you destroy the county, and can you guarantee that the news will not be leaked?
That's seventy elite soldiers, and if one escapes, everyone in our Muping County will have to pay for his life! The head of the Li family reprimanded.
"......" Zhou Jiajia advocated opening his mouth and did not speak.
He also knew that what the head of the Li family said was the truth, a single county magistrate was easy to do, no matter how high the martial arts were, there was a way.
But with the addition of those seventy elite soldiers, he was really not sure that he would not leak the news.
"I agree with what Brother Li said!"
"Just do what Brother Li said!
Anyway, the reservoir and canal are repaired, and we are the ones who benefit! ”
Except for the Zhou family's reservation, several other family heads agreed.
In order to contain Zhang Junping's energy, the ten major families were actually willing to take out millions of dollars, which shows how much benefit they are trying to make.
If Zhang Junping had been here, he would have scoffed at their discussion.
Isn't that all there is to it?
Look at what you can do with this little gut.
Of course, even if he knew what they thought, Zhang Junping would make a fortune in a muffled voice.
Someone is willing to contribute money and effort to help him achieve political achievements, why not?
