But before Taiwei Su finished trying his best to persuade him, Zhao Gonglian chuckled indifferently and said, "I'm ashamed." How am I worthy of a generous reward of 100,000 yuan? ”

"Please return to the Holy One. Kindness, a certain in mind. But my family's debts, my family will try to pay them off, if it doesn't work in five years, it will be ten years, and if it doesn't work in ten years, it will be repaid from generation to generation. This is my family's life. My family recognized. My fault, I bear it myself. Once poor for hundreds of years, it is not impossible to return to poverty and lowly now. The grass people did not dare to receive the court's reward. ”

"Also, the world always says that my family is the richest man in the world, but I don't know that my family has been running with debt, and in those years, all kinds of fierce pirates, tsunamis, storms and waves, exotic tricks, cruel and ignorant savages and greedy, domineering, cunning and vicious rulers of various countries and their fierce armies, and there are more unknown and irresistible dangerous disasters, such as the sudden outbreak of submarine volcanoes, and countless unimaginable dangers of the Song people. I sacrificed too many precious lives and interests of my family to get enough food from overseas in exchange for today's Great Song Dynasty, which has promoted the economic prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years, coupled with all kinds of huge political blackmail losses that I have to pay, my family's net income has not been much. There are many people in the world who don't know that the Great Song Dynasty is really rich and rivals the country. From the courtiers to the local bureaucrats, gentry and even small officials, all of them have skills in using their powers, they have made a fortune, and the officials are generous. ”

"A family like mine, whose reputation is almost unknown to the outside world, is never really rich. Presumably, Lord Taiwei also knows in his heart that those invisible predators who are not known by ordinary people and never appear on the rich list, but are covered by a complex network of power and social relations, are the big shark swallowing beasts. Those are the ones who deserve to be the richest at the top. ”

"Speaking of the present. It's not my responsibility to have an accident in Hebei. ”

"What am I? Confused, a fool who has been blind for too long. How can it be so powerful? ”

"That is the ability formed by the court and the local officials, who have worked together and formed over the years."

"To put it mildly, even if the soldiers and civilians of Hebei all defect this time, it's my business."

"Ordinary people also understand that when they enjoy their rights, they have to bear corresponding responsibilities and obligations. Hasn't the imperial court always been educating the public and emphasizing this? ”

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. It's a simple truth. ”

"What's wrong?"

"I've been tossing and turning happily for more than ten years, and now I'm playing big things, but it's the responsibility of me, an irrelevant person, am I guilty?"

"Hehe, the court doesn't investigate the so-called turmoil caused by my resignation, which is the grace of heaven?"

"Yes, the reason is the reason of the court, the reason of the powerful. Whoever is powerful and powerful will have a big mouth. But do you say that there is such a ridiculous sin and forgiveness from God? ”

"Is it useless if I don't listen to the call, refuse to take over this mess, refuse to sacrifice myself to protect their interests, or listen to the call but can't wipe my ass for the sins they have done, and can't change the situation of defection? Is sin deserving death? Is it that the will of the sin and the army to encircle and suppress Zhao Zhuang have already been prepared, and if I dare to refuse, I will immediately kill with ferocity and force, killing me all over the house? ”

"The sun is shining, and it's bright. The heavens are above, when power is everything, history can be scribbled, and all the people in the world can be abused and fooled at will? ”

"I'm a little stupid, but I'm not that stupid, and I don't want to be used as a fool all the time."

"It doesn't matter if the sky doesn't fall and the sky doesn't fall. When something happens, there is always a tall person who will stand first, and there are people who deserve to die first. When I was an official, no one cared about my family being wantonly harmed. Now that I have become a grass people, why should I care if the country is difficult or not? What the fuck am I idle? Do I worry about me? The country's major affairs concern me as a grass people. ”

"I worked hard at home, filial piety to my grandmother, tried to pay off my debts, and spent my life poor. Whoever doesn't even let me have that power, hum"

"Those people have been favored and trusted by the emperor, and have been rewarded and reused, and they can be said to be talented, rooted and powerful, everything is going well, and they have enjoyed everything comfortably for too long, so the country will naturally have to take responsibility for it in return for the grace of God. Just for the sake of their vital interests not being violated, they should also stand up to solve all the dangers, do you say that they are Su-sama? ”

After the sarcasm was over, Zhao Gonglian was no longer polite, and said directly: "I want to entertain you well, but my family really can't get a decent diet now." The heart is there, and the heart is sincere. Adults are not those shameless bureaucrats, and they must not blame the grass people for the lack of hospitality. In this way, the grass people will not be polite to delay the time of adults. ”

"The adult is not an unofficial and light grass people like me, he is in a high position, he has responsibilities, and he can't shirk the major affairs of the court, there must be too many important things to deal with at this time, and the grass people dare not delay the adults. I don't think adults would have the heart to waste time eating and drinking here. ”

This is to drive people out directly.

If you go down, I'm afraid that if you don't have a different position, you won't speculate, and you're going to turn your face.

Taiwei Su was inexplicably shocked by Zhao Gonglian's bold and explicit words.

It is said that Zhao Gonglian has infinite resentment and anger, and he is ready to respond to the situation at any time to resist the officers and soldiers who come to encircle and suppress the court, so as to make a rebellion against the imperial court, this is not to be said for the time being.

What Su Taiwei felt most deeply was Zhao Gonglian's disdain and impatience for the affairs of the imperial court revealed from his bones.

The grievances and pressures that can't be redressed, or even told, undoubtedly make this young and promising prodigy, who can always deal with everything calmly, unable to maintain a normal heart.

Su Taiwei is also used to being a high-ranking hypocrisy bureaucrat for a long time, and being treated so rudely can also be called rude, feeling that the official authority has been damaged, it is natural that he can't help but feel very unhappy and even quite annoyed, but for a strong and capable person like Zhao Gonglian, he can really only bear it, he is not qualified, and he has no heart to care about it at this time.

Secretly annoyed, he was also a little ashamed in his heart.

Since he was keenly aware that the limelight began to change, he had never said a word of justice for Cangzhao being wantonly and illegally violated by the bureaucrats at all levels, he didn't mention a word, it was none of his business, he stood by coldly, and really didn't care. Zhao Gonglian ridiculed no one for speaking out for his family, and the people he referred to included his ruthlessness and lack of justice.

Alas! This trip really failed.

knew that it would not be so easy to move Zhao Gonglian.

The clay figurines still have three points of fire. What's more, it is a generation of saint-like geniuses who have made immeasurable contributions to the country and the people, and who has moved the world but ended up so miserable.

At this moment, it is not right to say anything in the interests of his position, and it is not good to say anything.

He could only look up to the sky and sigh quietly, slowly got up and hugged his fist to Zhao Gonglian, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, don't be impatient. Please take care. ”

was sent to Xihe Bridge by Zhao Gonglian with a smile and politely, said goodbye, broke up, Su Taiwei was afraid that on the way back, he happened to meet the soldiers and civilians of Hebei West Road who had defected into a murderous rogue or something, and he didn't dare to hurry slowly, and he didn't dare to go back to his Hejian Mansion against the tide of rebellion everywhere, and Pegasus went to Cangzhou City nearby.

He also has something to do, so he must go to Cangzhou City to find out, so that he can report more specifically how the imperial court will deal with Zhao Gonglian's affairs.

Su Taiwei is an old fritter in officialdom, and his knowledge and mind are not simple.

He always felt that it was Zhao Gonglian who encountered something unhappy after he went home to farm, so he became so blatantly disdainful and impatient with the imperial court.

When he arrived in Cangzhou City, he saw Zheng Juzhong's face that immediately blocked up and was concerned about the safety of the imperial court, Su Taiwei keenly felt Zheng Juzhong's joy when he learned that his trip had failed, and saw that this high-ranking official with a very loyal image of a monarch, patriotism, elegance and nobility only hated Zhao Gonglian in his heart, and was only happy to have the opportunity to ask for the crime and exterminate Zhao Zhuang.

This, this is the high-ranking officials and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty!

Su Taiwei listened to the false enthusiasm but very thoughtful greetings of the main civil and military officers in Cangzhou, and looked at the smug and sinister face of Zheng Juzhong Shi Fulian, who was the leader, and couldn't help but secretly scold these so-called important members of the imperial court for being so hypocritical and shameless, and for the first time, he felt that this set of officialdom was so boring.

He was tired of prevarication, declined the banquet and hospitality, hastily ate some food and drink, closed the door to rest, in fact, how could he sleep with a fire in his heart, and tried to calm down and then scrutinize and analyze what he got today, and became more and more convinced that something must have happened to Zhao Zhuang again, and he also knew that he couldn't find Zheng Juzhong and these people if he wanted to inquire about things, and suddenly remembered that the old Cangzhou Tongju who said that he was old and unwell-behaved and was absent to greet him, and immediately had an idea, and then changed into civilian clothes, and secretly went to the Tongju's house from the small door under the cover of night.

After learning about Captain Su's intention and eagerness, Lao Tongju was also refreshed, and said some things that Captain Su was most concerned about and wanted to know.

Sure enough, sure enough!

After Zhao Gonglian resigned and went home, Zhao Zhuang had another big incident.

After the national disaster, after a month or two of gradual social stability and news dispersal, the creditors who directly or indirectly knew that the Cangzhao family was bankrupt in the Great Song Dynasty were all shocked and anxious, but when Zhao Gonglian was still a high-ranking official, he did not dare to go to Zhaozhuang to block the door to collect debts and make trouble, and perhaps he still had the hope that Zhao Zhuang could re-emerge and slow down and have the ability to pay off the debts, and they could still be patient and wait, but as soon as they heard that Zhao Gonglian actually resigned and was squeezed out by the officialdom, he was abandoned by the court and the emperor, and he slipped home and became a farmer. These people were suddenly anxious, couldn't sit still, and didn't dare to leave Cangzhao any time to repay the debt, but they were afraid of Cangzhao's reputation for being brave and good at fighting, and still didn't dare to go to Zhaozhuang to forcibly collect debts without authorization, so as not to provoke the people of Zhaozhuang, who were already angry and fierce, to commit murder, and the debts were not recovered, and their lives were taken back.

The Cangzhao family used to be the most credibility and the most important business rules and decency, which is true, but damn it, who knows if Cangzhao, who is in danger now, will still be like this?

When people are living well, they naturally abide by their promises generously, and they are willing to talk about their conscience or something, but when they fall into difficulty, they can't even live, they don't have the heart to pay attention to it, they don't care about their face, they don't have a reputation, they become ruthless, they don't admit their accounts, and they are even extremely vicious, which is also human nature.

However, whoever is rich is not as rich as himself, and whoever is unlucky is not unlucky for me.

Creditors and businessmen are mercenary, what good things can they have? They all think that it is not me, the creditor, who is guilty of suffering and suffering, or Cangzhao himself is unlucky and bears it himself.

No matter what, this debt must be collected, and it must be collected quickly.

The creditors also have to eat, but also to feed a large family, debt collection is a matter of course, are afraid of the late recovery of their own creditor's rights and interests will be lost and nothing can be recovered, dare not fight alone on Zhao Zhuang to ask for it, so they gathered together to be courageous, and recommended the most familiar with Zhao Zhuang and Zhao Gonglian as representatives, a complaint to the Cangzhou government to sue the Cangzhou family.

"Chai Jin?"

Su Taiwei was surprised for a moment and asked Lao Tongju: "Who is this Chai official?" How did he have the courage to be qualified to take on the role of a representative to collect debts from Zhao Gonglian? “

It was not surprising that Lao Tongju didn't know who Chai Jin was for Taiwei Su.

The Great Song Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and now it is not to mention the imperial court, but the local officials, if it is not for Cangzhou, who still remembers the Chai family of the former royal family.

He explained lightly: "It was after the Great Song Dynasty was able to take over the family that established the country." ”

"Oh-"

Su Taiwei suddenly realized.

Yes, the Chai family of the former royal family was in decline, and the common people were long forgotten by the officialdom, but the Chai family is still not a real ordinary person.

At the beginning, the founding Taizu was benevolent, although he robbed the position of the orphans and widows of the Chai family with military authority and seemed to be ungrateful, but he did not simply eradicate the former royal family like the betrayers of the past dynasties, completely cut the grass and roots, and covered people's mouths, and even reversed black and white to falsify the historical truth, but only stripped the Chai family of power, dignity and glory, but gave the right to guarantee stable survival, and gave wealth and some powers different from serious civilians, and the emperors of all dynasties insisted on this benevolence, or that Zhao and Song were in power and the position was stable. Don't care about the Chai family, who has fallen into no threat, has strictly controlled and monitored the Chai family for many years, gradually deprived of privileges and left them to fend for themselves, and then completely forgot about it and simply ignored it.

Maybe today's saints don't know that there are still people alive in the Chai family, but some people in the Chai family have the last bit of privilege and decency given by the ancestor at the beginning, and the labor or anything can't be spread on the head of the Chai family, and the local government also consciously or unconsciously takes care of the royal family's benevolent and decent reputation for treating the Chai family well, as long as the Chai family will come to trouble, and even as long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, the government will easily not provoke this civilian family with a special status, so as not to cause trouble and infamy. The Chai family should be at ease, at least more comfortable than other ordinary grass people.

In this way, after the Chai family, Chai Jin is different from those merchant creditors of the Cangzhao family, and he is qualified to come forward to collect debts as a representative, and theoretically there is really no need to be afraid of Cangzhao.

Officialdom is ruthless. The officials are very pragmatic, or to put it mildly, they can be said to be very powerful. Su Taiwei is difficult to get rid of the cliché, and so is naturally the case.

He didn't care about the ants, how the Chai family was, and what kind of person Chai Jin was.

He only cared about what trouble the debt collection group had brought to Zhao Gonglian, causing this wizard to be so disgusted with the imperial court.
