[0114 Lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot]
Chen Beihe heard Jin Qiliang say this, and suddenly became angry, he and Chen Jian of the thousand households are of the same clan, and they are of the same age, Chen Jian has risen to a thousand households, and he is still a hundred households, which is a thorn in Chen Beihe's heart. But your Jin Qiliang's official rank is one level lower than Lao Tzu's hundred households, and you are still older than Lao Tzu! Aren't you just a little seven-grade experience? No matter how small Lao Tzu is a hundred households, he is also an official from the sixth grade! Why do you say me?
"If you can't go up, you can't go up! Excuse me! Chen Beihe bowed his hand to Jin Qiliang, said quickly, turned his head and returned to the table.
This can make Jin Qiqi angry enough, but he is extremely embarrassed, and he stands in a daze and is speechless. I was going to use a key sentence to stimulate Chen Beihe, but I didn't expect Chen Beihe to turn his face with him?
Jin Qiliang and Qianhu Chen Jian are not familiar with each other, and now that Wei Bao has brought it, if Qianhu refuses to take him into custody, what should he do? He didn't dare to directly tie up Wei Bao and send him to the Wu family, secretly blaming himself for being reckless this time, and he should have come to the people of Qianhu to say that he would do it before he did it.
Jin Qiliang was stunned for a few minutes, and could only stubbornly go to Chen Jian's side, bow down and salute: "Lord Qianhu!" ”
Chen Jian recognized Jin Qiliang and smiled slightly: "It's Lao Jin, just right, sit down and drink together and play a few games." ”
"Thank you, my lord, I have an important good thing to say to you." Where does Jin Qiliang have the kung fu to drink and make money with them? I don't know when the people from the Yang family will be found, but they can't be anxious.
Seeing Jin Qiliang's serious expression, Chen Jian couldn't help frowning, Chen Jian was in a hurry to have fun, and suddenly became impatient: "Oh? If you have something to say, say it here! It's all my own people, and there are no outsiders. ”
Jin Qiliang stubbornly told the story of what happened to bring Wei Bao to Qianhu just now, but this time he skipped the part where Wei Bao had already had a relationship with the Yang family, and only said that Wei Bao offended the eldest prince of Wu. He secretly thought that 'doing' Wei Bao was to stand up for the eldest prince of Wu, wouldn't this be a good thing? thinks that after hearing this, Jian Chen will definitely support him, and he will make a contribution together.
"Do such a small thing for a villager, you still tell me? When I'm idle, huh? Aren't you very familiar with them? See who is willing to help you, talk to them yourself! Chen Jian is not soft or hard to put Jin Qiliang's words on the wall, Chen Jian and the Wu family have a deep relationship, they are both Liaoxi Jiangmen, and they belong to the same boat, but Liaoxi Jiangmen is also divided into high and low, Chen Jian looks down on Jin Qiliang and other small officials. And Jian Chen knew that the eldest prince of Wu was not broad-minded, and there were many people who were not used to it, and when he needed to take action, he would naturally send someone to give an order, and it was your turn to talk nonsense with labor and management with an experience?
After Chen Jian finished speaking, he didn't look at Jin Qiliang again, still stepped on the chair with one foot, pressed the dice cup with one hand, and said loudly to a few hundred households waiting for him to open the dice cup: "Buy and leave!" Buy and leave, labor and management are going to open! ”
Several hundred households looked nervous, no one took what Jin Qiliang said to heart just now, everyone's attention was focused on the dice cup that Jin Qiliang was pressing, and they held their breath one by one, their eyes widened.
opened a small point, Chen Jiantong compensated, roared angrily, and a big slap was pressed on the door of the head, and suddenly he was angry, glared at Jin Qiliang, and secretly accused Jin Qiliang of touching his moldy head! People who gamble usually have a lot of superstitions, especially when they lose money, and any little wind and grass can be associated with their own losses. I even think it's not this Jin Qiliang's eight-character gram himself?
Several hundreds of households smiled and thanked Jian Chen while collecting cash.
Jin Qiliang, who was standing on the side, saw that Chen Jian's face was not good, knowing that the other party had lost money and could have a seizure at any time, he was worried that he would be used as a punching bag by Chen Jian, where did he dare to say it again? had to bite the bullet and pull Chen Beihe again.
Chen Beihe squatted on the chair, refused to come down anymore, and said angrily: "I said that I won't mix this matter!" Old gold, old gold, are you crazy about silver? Or do you want to be promoted and want to go crazy? ”
If Chen Beihe didn't know that Wei Bao had already had a relationship with the Yang family, he might still help Jin Qiliang, now that he already knows the inside story, how can he dare to wade into such troubled waters?
Jin Qiliang couldn't take care of it at this time, so he had to lie down in Chen Beihe's ear and beg softly: "I'll let them go to the gatehouse to sit and wait first, I'll go to find Master Wu now, it's all right?" Before I return, tell you people not to drive them away. ”
"I said that I don't mix, just talk to the person on duty at the door about this matter!" Chen Beihe said impatiently: "What's the matter?" What else should I say? ”
Jin Qiliang stared, but he didn't dare to attack, and he walked out of the back hall of the Qianhu Office, he was majestic outside, he was nothing here, only a low-end official, and he didn't belong to a yamen, and he was not as good as a Shanhailou or Yihong Courtyard in the Qianhu House.
Jin Qiliang came out with a belly full of anger, and quickly said to a group of friends to wait a little longer, regardless of the group of people asking him how things were going? Then he went straight to the gatehouse of the Thousand Households and found a hundred households on duty.
Jin Qiliang has a wide range of people and knows many people, and this hundred households also recognize it, and he said that he wanted to put Wei Bao here temporarily, this time he learned to be smart, and he didn't say that Wei Bao had a relationship with the Yang family.
The hundred households smiled and said: "Brother Jin naturally has to help with the things he explained, this is nothing, just let them come over and wait first." This thing was done by Brother Tojin, the eldest prince of Wu? Did you just go in and tell Senho-sama? Why don't you just go to the prison of a thousand households? ”
"Don't be so troublesome, I'll go tell Master Wu now, trouble brother, go back and invite you to drink." I'll be right back! Jin Qiliang saw that these hundred households agreed, where did he dare to be verbose? Later, it will be troublesome to make extraneous branches, so he walked outside as he spoke, and flew on his horse.
The hundred households on duty felt that Jin Qiqi was strange, and added a sentence behind him: "Brother Jin, come back quickly!" Don't leave people in my concierge all the time! ”
"Got it!" Jin Qiliang went so fast that his voice was already a few feet away, and he accelerated on horseback.
Jin Qiliang and Wu Dagongzi are familiar with each other, they are both in the same yamen, and they often meet. But there is a big gap in status, and he is not a fellow villager, although he also belongs to the Jiangmen of Liaoxi, he is the bottom, and the Wu family is the spire, and he usually has no chance to get close to Bajie.
Jin Qiliang first went to the Wei Command Department to find the eldest prince of Wu, but he was not there. At this time, it was already past noon, and the officials generally had a good morning, and after lunch, they generally no longer went to the yamen, and they had to wait until the next day to talk about anything.
Jin Qiliang rushed to the Wu Mansion to ask to see the eldest prince of Wu, and the concierge of the Wu Mansion saw that he was a small official, lukewarm. There are seven grades of experience officials, and the seven grades are actually not small, they are the ones who eat the emperor's grain, and the people who receive salaries in the Ming household department. But in the eyes of the gatehouse of Wu's mansion is still small, the gatekeeper usually has an adjutant's house, and the deputy housekeeper of this kind of high-door mansion can catch up with the six-rank official, and the housekeeper is even more powerful, otherwise how to say that the prime minister's gatehouse is a second-grade official.
"Brother, help report now, please tell Childe, just say that I caught Wei Bao. Trouble. Jin Qiliang was very annoyed when he touched a circle of nails in the Qianhu Institute, but he didn't feel annoyed at all when he touched the nails in the gatehouse of the Wu Mansion, laughed with him, took five coins of silver and handed it to the adjutant of the gatekeeper with both hands.
The deputy butler saw the silver and smiled slightly, "Lord Jin is too polite." As he spoke, he quietly put the silver into his sleeve pocket, "Please go to the concierge and sit for a while, and I'll go and see if the eldest prince has any kung fu." ”
"Trouble, trouble." Jin Qiliang threw his hand again and again, and smiled and called a harmony.
At this time, Wu Mansion had just had lunch, Wu Sanfeng went back to the house to rest, this cold day, there was a brazier indoors, just now I drank a little wine for lunch, baked the brazier, and then hugged my daughter-in-law to take a nap, beautiful.
Wu Xuexia was as usual, sorting out the account books in the outer hall study of her eldest brother's house, she was not interested in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that her daughter's family should do, only interested in helping the Wu family's business.
"Miss." The deputy housekeeper didn't find the main manager, so he went straight to the house of Wu Dagongzi, saw that Wu Xuexia was there, and called softly at the door.
Wu Xuexia put down the brush, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"There was a person at the door who asked to see the eldest young master, and he said that it was the experience of the Wei Commander and the Envoy. said that he had caught Wei Bao. The deputy butler said.
Wu Xuexia sighed and said to the maid beside her: "You go and tell the eldest brother's person." ”
The subordinates are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, except for the main housekeeper, the deputy housekeeper, and a few stewards can come in, but even if they come in, this room is not allowed to enter randomly, and they must be told by the maid in the inner courtyard, and the rules of the big family are very strict.
Wu Xuexia knew about Wei Bao, but she didn't know what the eldest brother was doing when he sent someone to arrest Wei Bao? I couldn't help frowning and pursed my lips, but I didn't say anything, and still continued to sort out the account books.
Wu Sanfeng hadn't fallen asleep yet, and when he was being looked for at this time, he was going to get angry, but when he heard that it was Wei Bao's business, he suddenly came to his senses.
It's because that shipment is urgent! That batch of goods are all high-grade furs, and the entire land business inside and outside the customs, as well as the business of the big pass of Tongshan Customs, are all in the hands of the Wu family. There is no shortage of furs in the interior, but the number of high-quality furs is limited. If you don't want to pass through Shanhaiguan, you will either smuggle it by sea or make a big circle from Mongolia, and the cost will be frighteningly high. The land business leading to Guannai in eastern and western Liaodong is mainly classified into five categories: tea, horses, salt, fur, and medicinal materials! It's all a profitable business.
Wu Sanfeng asked someone to notify Zhentianbei to arrest Wei Bao the day before yesterday, forcing Wei Bao to hand over the hidden batch of goods, Zhentianbei asked the three masters Tan Maniac to go to Jinshan to arrest Wei Bao yesterday, but he missed, this matter, Zhentianbei naturally will not come to inform Wu Sanfeng, so Wu Sanfeng is completely unaware.
Now that Wu Sanfeng heard that it was an experience that caught Wei Bao, he couldn't help but be very strange, and asked the deputy steward: "What is that experience called?" ”
"He said his name was Kim Kyung-ryong." The deputy butler replied.
Wu Sanfeng snorted, knowing that Jin Qiliang was such a person, "Bring him here!" ”
"Yes, young master." The deputy butler respectfully bowed and went down.
"Big brother, did you let you catch Wei Bao? Didn't you say that the goods were taken by Na Wei Bao from outside the customs? It wasn't taken from us, how can you let people arrest people casually? If this news spreads, it will damage our family's reputation. Wu Xuexia said.
"Girls, don't get involved. You go down first. "Wu Sanfeng didn't have a good airway. This is a very small matter in Wu Sanfeng's opinion, and he can't figure out what's going on, so he naturally has no patience.
Wu Xuexia pouted, didn't dare to disobey the eldest brother, went to the back, but didn't go far, curious to hear it in the back, she was very interested in this Wei Bao, on the one hand, because she knew that Wei Bao was very young, younger than her, and Wei Bao was very good at doing business, and on the other hand, she knew that Wu Shien's strange Western gadgets were all sold by Wei Bao, so she paid special attention to Wei Bao's affairs.
Jin Qiliang was quickly brought over, and respectfully saluted to the eldest prince of Wu: "My lord! The lowly position is the commander of the guard, and the envoy has experienced Jin Qiliang. ”
"Who told you to catch Wei Bao?" Grand Prince Wu asked straight to the point, he didn't have the time to greet someone like Jin Qiliang.
"When I heard that Na Wei Bao had robbed a batch of goods from adults, I was angry. The Wu family is the banner of our Liaoxi people, and if we dare to get along with adults, we can't get along with all our Liaoxi people. Jin Qiliang thought about it outside the door for a long time just now, and recited a string of compliments like an endorsement.
"You people, the news is really fast!" Wu Sanfeng whispered, covering his lower lip with the nail of his thumb and twisting it back and forth. It stands to reason that Wei Bao should have been caught by the Earthquake North by now! How did it end up in the hands of this man? Wu Sanfeng didn't plan to make a big deal about this matter, after all, the goods were brought from outside the customs, and he was afraid that people would know about it, but if it was a big fuss, it would be passed around, and he was afraid that there would be an incident, and it was not good, "When did you catch this Wei Bao?" What name is used? ”
"Back to my lord, I just caught it, and it took less than half an hour. I said that Wei Bao had insulted me and secretly consulted with the thief. Jin Qiliang hurriedly replied, and paid attention to the face of Wu Dagongzi, feeling uneasy in his heart, I don't know if this sycophant was accurate? Don't shoot the horse's leg.
Wu Sanfeng frowned, secretly thinking that something was wrong, since he was the one who was arrested just now, then Zhentianbei should have succeeded yesterday, and asked angrily: "Where did you arrest people?" ”
"In the gatehouse of a thousand households." Jin Qiliang replied: "I didn't inform my lord, I didn't dare to act rashly, whether I was imprisoned or released, and I obeyed my lord's orders." ”
Wu Sanfeng grimaced, and then asked, "Wei Bao knows that you are out for my batch of goods?" ”
"Should know." Jin Qiliang replied cautiously, "That kid is too arrogant, showing off everywhere, and many people know about this batch of goods." When I caught him, I told Wei Bao a little bit of wind and said that I was an adult, and he was very cunning, and he must understand what was going on. ”
Jin Qiliang thought that this answer was very decent, and he didn't dare to say how he knew, for fear that it would affect Wu Shien, saying that it was because Wei Bao was arrogant and heard him talk nonsense everywhere, so it would be foolproof. And this time, Jin Qiqi learned smartly, and he no longer said that Wei Bao had caught up with the Yang family. Just now, he said that he was Wu Sanfeng's person, which was equivalent to showing his loyalty, and he was waiting for praise in his heart.
Wu Sanfeng is not angry, secretly thinking that such a trivial matter also needs to use the reputation of the Wu family? Now that Jin Qiliang has completely disrupted his plan, he can't think of what to do for a while? He had planned to let the bandits teach Wei Bao a lesson, but it was most appropriate for the bandits to do this kind of thing, and they couldn't contact him. Now Jin Qiliang is biting Jin halfway, which is really annoying, but he also wants to pat himself on the back, and he is a person from Liaoxi, if he scolds him, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the people below.
Jin Qiliang saw that Wu Dagongzi didn't speak for a long time, standing dumbfounded, not knowing what was wrong, and instantly restored from Meizizi's mood back to his uneasy mood.
"Can you get him to hand over that shipment?" Wu Sanfeng asked.
Jin Qiliang saw that the eldest prince of Wu finally spoke, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "As long as the adult says a word, I will immediately put him in the prison of a thousand households, and if he goes down with a whip, even the person made of stone will make him vomit blood, and dare to hide the adult's things?" ”
Wu Sanfeng secretly thought that things had come to this point, and he could only let this reckless man watch it! With a straight face, he said angrily: "I'm not familiar with you, don't use my banner in the future!" ”
Wu Sanfeng played an official tone, and he was about to drive people out.
Jin Qiliang is not a stupid person, he is reckless, but he can understand what Wu Dagongzi means, and his face suddenly turned white with fright, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, I don't dare to play the banner of an adult, this matter is my own business, it has nothing to do with adults, and the villain knows what to do." ”
Wu Sanfeng saw that Jin Qiliang understood what he meant, and his face softened slightly, "You have already looked for people from the Thousand Households?" ”
"No, no, I haven't looked for them yet, but I just let a few friends take care of Nawei Bao in the gatehouse of the Thousand Households for the time being, and I didn't get the adult's will, and the villain didn't dare to call the shots." Jin Qiliang saw that Wu Sanfeng was not happy to let outsiders know about this, so he hurriedly made a clever defense.
Wu Sanfeng nodded: "This matter is your own business, if you do it well, I will remember it in my heart." Don't tell anyone! After Wu Sanfeng finished speaking, he made a gesture to the deputy butler to let Jin Qiliang leave.
The deputy butler hurriedly came over and said, "This lord, our son-in-law is going to rest." ”
"Yes, yes, the villain is leaving. The villain never tells anyone else. Jin Qiliang hurriedly bowed to the ground, kept his hands in a pretentious motion, and stepped back outside. When he first came, he claimed to be a lowly position, but now he only dares to call himself a villain, he and Wu Sanfeng have known each other for a year or two, and together they don't have as much as they say today. With just a few words, he was almost frightened, and he was shocked by the power of the Wu family.
In fact, Wu Sanfeng didn't say anything, let alone speak harshly, it was all in a very flat tone, which was Jin Qiliang's own psychological effect.
Jin Qiliang saw that Grand Prince Wu seemed to be unhappy with his approach, where did he still have the idea of receiving credit now? It's good to just hope that this thing doesn't lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot.
