(Thanks to "I am the country Zhu Chenghua" for the big reward, if Chengbei is not mistaken, this benevolent brother should be the first to comment on this book, thank you!) ）

Outside Pan's Mansion, Ma Xian Ling was wearing a foreign uniform and stood at the door with a respectful expression. When Pan Fu's parents were still there, he often came to Pan's mansion, but later because of official business, there were fewer contacts, and Pan Fu rarely looked for him, and only went to the county government to visit during the New Year's holiday.

"Dong Weng, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your body is still tough?"

Seeing Cao Wei walking out of the mansion gate, followed by two lieutenants, Ma Xian Ling felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The lower official has seen the uncle, Uncle Meng is worried, the lower official is all right!" ”

Cao Wei enthusiastically took Ma County's hand and went into Pan's mansion: "Where do the two of us still need these false courtesies, Dong Weng came just right, the banquet has been prepared, and I am ashamed to say it, I haven't gone to the county government to receive the silver, and I hope Dong Weng will not see outside." ”

Ma County Lingfu was very happy, and hurriedly said: "Uncle is busy with official business, so naturally he has no leisure time, and the lower official will send someone to send the case silver over tomorrow." ”

Cao Wei laughed and put on a nonchalant look: "It's just a few hundred taels of silver, don't tighten, don't tight!" ”

Ma Xianling's eyelids twitched fiercely, he is a seven-grade official, and his monthly salary is seven stones, which is about seven taels of silver, and there are not one hundred taels in a year, where will you have a few hundred taels of silver for a few months...... Glancing at the brocade-clothed lieutenant who was following behind him and holding an embroidered spring knife in his hand, Ma Xian Ling silently closed his mouth.

At the dinner table, Cao Wei sat above, Ma Xian Ling and Pan Fu sat left and right, and Sweet Potato and Mrs. Pan, as female dependents, were inconvenient to stay, and left after saluting Ma Xian Ling.

Ma Xian Ling looked at the high-spirited Cao Wei and sighed, a few months ago he was just a hairy boy, and he was the respect of a county, and now the other party is worthy of his deliberate stammering, and the magic of life makes him very emotional.

After a few glasses of wine, the scene came alive, and Ma Xianling raised the wine glass to toast and said: "Uncle, you have made many achievements at a young age, and your future is immeasurable, but unfortunately the old man has been wasting his time, which is really ashamed." ”

"Dong Weng smiled, if Dong Weng doesn't dislike it, just call me Xiude!"

Ma Xianling hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, then the old man will call your cousin with a shy face."

Xiude, the old man is forty and three this year, and he has been a county official for 20 years, which is rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and it is rare to see! ”

Cao Wei said with a smile: "If Dong Weng is interested, I can take a favor for Dong Weng, the Nanjing prefect is now vacant, but Dong Weng is not from a school of economics, I am afraid it will be difficult to rise, but it is still possible to be a fellow acquaintance or a general judge." ”

Tongzhi is the fifth product, as the deputy of the prefect, responsible for the local salt, grain, theft, river defense, sea frontier, river engineering, water conservancy, cleaning up the military register, Fu Sui Minyi and other affairs, with great power; The general judgment is the sixth product, and he is also a subordinate official of the prefect, who is responsible for grain storage, horse administration, military craftsmen, charcoal, river canals, and embankments, and has a lot of oil and water.

Ma county order is just a person, through the operation to make up the county order, it stands to reason that the official fortune of this life has come to an end, if you can be promoted to the same knowledge or general judgment, it is like living out the second spring of life, he immediately rejoiced: "If it can really be so, I am willing to drive for the uncle in the future!" ”

Pan Fu pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Cousin, we are also a family, how can you drive him to say that it is good to be able to help each other." ”

Cao Wei waved his hand and said proudly: "That's right, if I Cao only eats meat, you will have a bite of bones to gnaw, in the future, we will drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat, and slaughter some fat sheep from time to time, and we can also have a fat year." ”

Ma Xian Ling took a sip of wine and almost spewed out, where is this uncle, obviously a bandit leader, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse to follow him, but since I am on the thief ship, I am afraid it will not be easy to go down.

Ma Xian Ling is a lifter, and there are still some rituals that a reader should have, but Pan Fu is different, he has not read a few books, he climbed a tree and went down to the river when he was a child, and listening to books in the teahouse is commonplace.

Pan Fu's face was full of excitement at this time, and he shouted in his mouth: "I want to rob the rich and help the poor, and rob those rich people!" ”

Cao Wei couldn't answer this, after all, he and Pan Fu also belong to the category of rich now, especially Pan Fu, who wears a foreign clothes, like a rich man.

Ma Xianling finally couldn't listen to it anymore, took a hard breath, and said: "The old man is a little drunk, so he won't accompany him, see you in the future, see you in the future!" ”

Cao Wei and Pan Fu sent Ma Xianling to the door crookedly, and kept muttering that they would get drunk another day, and Ma Xianling secretly thought: "If the old man comes to drink with you two bastards in the future, he will not be surnamed Ma, surnamed Donkey!" ”

…………………………………………………

Early in the morning, the servants of the Pan Mansion opened the door of the mansion with a yawn, and suddenly found a person kneeling at the door, and I don't know who it was, and his body was wet with dew, so he hurriedly ran into the mansion to inform the master.

When Pan Fu came to the door, he was taken aback when he saw this person clearly: "Shen Qing! ”

Shen Qing smiled bitterly: "How is Brother Pan lately? ”

This person is Shen Qing, running by water all night, on the fifth watch, the sky has just had some light, Shen Qing finally arrived in Qinyang County, and entered the city when the city gate was first opened, and went to the restaurant opened by the Shen family in Qinyang County to inquire about the news, but the news he received made him shocked.

Shen Qing gritted his teeth and went straight to the door of Pan's Mansion to kneel, and this kneeling was more than an hour.

Pan Fu hurriedly helped him up, Shen Qing just got up, one didn't stand firm, and his legs almost bent down, Pan Fu called the servants again, helped him into the front hall of Pan's mansion left and right, and then poured him a cup of hot tea, and told the servants to inform Cao Wei to come over.

Soon, Cao Wei came to the front hall, and Shen Qing fell directly to the ground and said, "Uncle, I went to Suzhou Mansion a month ago, and I don't know anything about my family......

Cao Wei ordered the servant to pour a cup of hot tea, then took a sip of tea slowly, and then slowly spoke: "Shen Qing, do you know what Pan Fu and I were discussing yesterday?" ”

Shen Qing crawled on the ground and said bitterly: "Shen Qing doesn't know! ”

Cao Wei said quietly: "We are discussing how to destroy your Shen family!" ”

Shen Qing's body trembled, he didn't know how Cao Wei would let the Shen family raid the family and wipe out the clan, but he believed that Cao Wei could do it, and he believed it without any reason.

"Uncle, give the Shen family a chance, the Shen family is ashamed, and will definitely give you and Brother Pan an explanation, I, Shen Qing, am willing to die for my uncle!" Shen Qing kept kowtowing, and soon blood oozed from his forehead.

Pan Fu couldn't bear it, and wanted to help Shen Qing up, but Shen Qing didn't know where he got the strength, so he crawled on the ground, Cao Wei sighed and said, "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Shen Qing kowtowed three more times before slowly getting up and sitting on the chair with apprehension.

"Your Shen family wants to swallow the Drunken Immortal Brew this time, but what do you have to rely on?"

Shen Qing hurriedly said: "Some of the Shen family's old people are old and faint, and they sent a few thousand taels of silver to Huang Zhong, the eunuch guarding Yangzhou Town, and they thought they had hugged Huang Gonggong's thigh......

"Huh!" Cao Wei sneered on his face: "Do you believe it or not?" Huang Zhong didn't dare to let go of a fart this time, you have been staying in the Pan Mansion for a few days to recuperate, and your Shen family must be punished this time! ”

Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Shen family's pass had passed, and since Cao Wei could keep him in the mansion to cultivate, he had no idea of being heavy on the Shen family.

Cao Wei tapped his fingers on the table, and after a moment of silence, he said: "After this incident, all your Shen family's restaurants in Qinyang County will be taken over by the Pan family, in addition, every day you live in the Pan Mansion, the Shen family will pay 10,000 taels of silver in the future, as house money, and you will know whether this silver is worth it in the future!" ”

Shen Qing nodded bitterly, 10,000 taels a day, this is probably the most expensive house money ever, I just hope that the old things in the family can leave more property for the Shen family......
