In fact, Zhu Youzhen wanted to wait for the Feng brothers to come to the door, he pretended to be a pig first, and then ate a tiger. It will be very refreshing to think about the feeling of first suppressing and then raising, flipping and slapping the face in one fell swoop.

But Zhu Youzhen thought about it, and he felt that the plot was still a bit unreliable.

Then the Feng brothers are not stupid, they will always investigate before they come to the door, right?

The county seat of Dong'an is so small, and there are so many entourages led by Zhu Youzhen, it is impossible for the Feng brothers not to inquire.

Even if the Feng brothers are really a pair of stupid pigs, they don't ask about anything. But Zhu Youzhen believes that just by virtue of Xu Guangqi's official position, this kind of small tyrant can not afford to provoke.

If you want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, people have to believe that you are a pig. No matter how Zhu Youzhen thinks of his behavior, he doesn't look like a harmless pig.

Alas, let's be a tiger! Zhu Youzhen reluctantly made the final choice.

Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that although the Feng family brothers inquired about the situation in the city, they really didn't connect Wang Chengen's team with the Zhou family. And Xu Guangqi's official position, considering the backstage behind it, the fat boss really didn't pay attention to it.

Of course, the development of the whole thing has gone wrong until now, and there is no need for Zhu Youzhen to pretend. The Feng brothers were completely frightened by Zhu Youzhen's tiger.

There was no way, the ruthless behavior of the guards at the door put too much pressure on the Feng family brothers. The Feng family brothers were really afraid that the other party would directly abolish them.

If the other party really abolished them directly, then even if their backstage retaliated against the other party afterwards, it would not make much sense to them, right.

Compared with the present and the future, the Feng family brothers naturally chose to look at the present. Businessmen are so practical.

Thinking about this, the Feng brothers kowtowed and knocked the ground like garlic.

"Your Excellency spares your life?" The Feng brothers kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Your Excellency?"

Hearing this familiar title, Zhu Youzhen was a little stunned for a while. Not to mention, in this era, this is really the first time Zhu Youzhen has heard this title.

When he came to this era, Zhu Youzhen knew that few people in Daming called officials "adults", and most of the officials were called "sir".

In this era, the title "adult" is generally an honorific title for the elders of the family. For example: Father. According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, adults who are generally not called by prefixes refer to their fathers.

Therefore, in this day and age, it really takes a lot of courage and a lot of cheekiness to call someone an adult.

The popularity of adult names was completely formed in that dynasty where the world was full of slaves, and it is still extremely rare.

"That's it!" Zhu Youzhen shouted irritably, he felt that the sound of kowtowing was worthy of the title of an adult, it was really ugly.

"Tell me? What the hell did you do? Zhu Youzhen put away his face and asked lightly.

The Feng family brothers, who were already frightened, poured beans like bamboo tubes, and made everything clear.

Everything is similar to Zhu Youzhen's conjecture. Huang Xiucai's own application for grain chief caused a sensation in the county government. The county government regarded Huang Xiucai's incident as a joke, and everyone thought that Huang Xiucai was suffering from madness.

When this joke reached the ears of the Feng brothers, the Feng brothers keenly saw the business opportunities. The Feng brothers secretly paid for Huang Xiucai to dredge up the relationship between the county government, and Huang Xiucai successfully obtained the right to defer taxes for 2 years.

Of course, the Feng brothers are not people who do good deeds without leaving a name, they are in love with the Huang family's fields. The Feng family brothers have great ambitions, and they are not only interested in the dozens of acres of land of the Huang family, but also the fields of the entire village centered on the Huang family.

You know, in this era, if you want to annex the whole land, you can't do it with money. Huang Xiucai's act of serving as the grain chief to integrate the fields happened to give the Feng brothers a great opportunity.

"What did you do to those villagers?" Zhu Youzhen asked lightly.

"Those fools are too easy to deal with. The little ones just sent people around the village, and each family dropped a few small dollars, and they were easily dealt with. The fat man said flatteringly.

"Have you gotten the villagers' land?" Zhu Youzhen asked solemnly.

"Not yet," the fat man said embarrassedly, "those villagers value the land more than their lives, and we are afraid of alarming Huang Xiucai, so we don't dare to use too many means, and those lands are still in their hands." ”

I'll go!

Zhu Youzhen looked at the two fat men in front of him and was a little speechless.

These two guys aren't just here to play tricks, are they? Why would you do something petty. I've been doing it for so long, but I haven't reaped any benefits yet. The professional quality is so poor, it's really a shame for the local tyrants and bullies.

Regarding the professional quality of the Feng brothers, Zhu Youzhen was very contemptuous.

"Well, let's be practical, then. How do you want to calculate the Huang family's account? Zhu Youzhen asked directly.

"How?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "The adults say how to calculate, just calculate it, and the small ones completely follow the wishes of the adults." ”

"Okay, you get the Huang family's deed back. The money you gave Huang Xiucai was to buy sweet potatoes, right? We give you sweet potatoes. Zhu Youzhen said lightly.

"Sweet potato? Our money is enough to buy tens of thousands of catties of sweet potatoes. The fat man muttered in a low voice, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Huh?" Zhu Youzhen let out a questioning nasal voice.

"The little ones all listen to the adults." The fat man knocked his head down again and stopped talking.

Liaodong, Ningyuan

In the dim light, Yuan Chonghuan raised his glass to Zu Dashou and invited wine: "Come, General Zu, let's have another drink." ”

"Cheng, Yuan Daotai, let's walk." Zu Dashou drank it all in one go.

Drinking, his ancestor Dashou is not refused, as for the others? Then we'll have to see.

For Yuan Chonghuan, who is sitting on the main seat, Zu Dashou has always pursued the strategy of respecting and staying away.

"This man is too dangerous." This is Zu Dashou's deepest impression of Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan is a native of Guangzhou, Guangdong. In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Jinshi. He used to be in Shaowuzhi County, Fujian, and was promoted to the director of the Ministry of War in the second year of the Apocalypse.

During his tenure as the head of the Ministry of War, Yuan Chonghuan did something that stunned the entire imperial court. He actually went to Shanhaiguan alone to patrol the defense.

At that time, Daming had just suffered a defeat in Guangning, and people were panicked everywhere. The officials of the imperial court were all discolored by mentioning Liaodong.

Although the Ministry of War issued an order to patrol the defense of Shanhaiguan, no one in the lobby of the Ministry of War responded at all.

In this case, Yuan Chonghuan, the new head of the Ministry of War, returned from patrolling the Shanhaiguan defense line alone, what a sensational thing.

Especially from Yuan Chonghuan's recital, it can be seen that Yuan Chonghuan really went to Shanhaiguan, and it was not a fiction. To such an official who is willing to do things in a down-to-earth manner, how can the imperial court not give a reward.

It just so happened that the Ming court was extremely short of officials who volunteered to serve in Liaodong at that time. In this situation, Yuan Chonghuan was promoted to the post of supervisor and transferred to the Liaodong Army in Shanhaiguan.
