Time passed slowly, the ordinary people of the Zhang family were eye-opening today, the little patriarch in front of him collected a huge amount of arrears, and invited the county master to go to Zhang's mansion to judge the case, and personally practiced such a strong family team, everyone respected the little patriarch in front of them more and more, but some people were happy and some people were worried, and the three major houses were like ants on a hot pot, panicked.

I saw the big room whispering to the second room and the third room: "Second brother, third brother, you see that we can't calculate this little baby, but are calculated, originally the eldest brother and I have been angry, now this kid not only does not stop, but also has to inch in, take our three families to cut the knife, from our mouths, even if the father has not done this, today I will tear the skin with this little baby, big brother I decided, we want to split the family, with our three brothers in the clan land and business, half of the wealth of the clan is in our hands, We withdrew to set up another ancestral hall, I wonder if the second brother and the third brother are willing to advance and retreat with the eldest brother? At that time, your nephew Daniel Zhang has a county relationship, the third brother has a business channel, that is, the nephew of the second brother's family, and he also has a township test merit. ”。

"Big brother, you are drawing a salary from the bottom of the kettle, if our three major houses run away like this, the rest are some dispensable partial people, who have no money and no power, and when they encounter any difficulties, they all have to come to the eldest brother?"

"What the eldest brother and the second brother said is reasonable, the third brother has nothing to say here, just follow the two elder brothers, you must bring down this little mess, he is so messy, once Zhang Yun's business is not supported by a lot of money from the family, it is easy to be robbed of the business by the opponent, this little miscellaneous is obviously to cut off the financial route of our three major houses, we must not sit still."

Dafang heard the two brothers' neat statement, and said very excitedly: "Okay, since the two brothers are willing to advance and retreat with the eldest brother, and the eldest brother has the confidence to do things, you can rest assured, when the county lord left just now, let the staff transfer an imperial mission, it seems that the patriarch of this little baby has offended the county master for some reason, and within two months, this little baby will either die in the field, or be punished by the imperial court, and the family will be bankrupt, anyway, he is already a grasshopper after the autumn, and he will not be able to jump for a few days, the two brothers will take it to see." ”

The second and third rooms took a look, and it turned out to be a letter of guarantee, to the effect that Zhang Xian, the patriarch of the Zhang clan, was famous, smart and wise, loyal and patriotic. At the time of the national crisis, the county ordered Zhang Xian, a talented son of the county, to be the grain and salary officer of Yangzhou, and ordered Zhang Xian to use 600 carts and horses to transport 2,400 stones of grain and grass to Ezhou within two months.

After reading the letter, the second room asked in confusion, "Big brother, this is the county magistrate who is promoting this kid as the grain and salary official of Yangzhou, he is mixed with the official body, what good is it for us?" Is the eldest brother going to attack him on the way? ”

Dafang glanced at the second brother angrily and said: "I said second brother, there are officers and soldiers escorting this poor grain road, how can we start?" Didn't you pay attention to the six hundred carts and horses transporting two thousand four hundred stones of grain and grass? ”

Sanfang was also confused when he heard this: "Big brother, isn't it normal for this carriage to pull four stones of grain?" Six hundred carts and horses and two thousand four hundred stone of grain are just right, third brother, I really don't understand, what's the matter here?! ”

Dafang still had a sense of accomplishment in front of the two brothers, and said with a smile: "The two virtuous brothers are used to living in fine clothes and food, and they naturally don't know much about these lowly livelihoods. It is indeed not a problem for this carriage to pull four stones of grain, the problem is that there is not only grain but also war horse forage, this forage is not more than grain, it is extremely fluffy, and the top of a carriage pulls two more stones of forage, and the carriage has been piled up like a mountain, crumbling, to put it bluntly, the forage is large and light, and there is no way to load more, otherwise the wind will blow down. As long as the county magistrate lets this little baby pull a thousand stones of forage, then, there is a shortage of two hundred and fifty carriages and horses, at present, all states and counties are dealing with the imperial mission everywhere, transporting grain and grass to the battlefield, this carriage and horse can not be bought with money, you think about it, can this little baby still complete the imperial mission? ”

When the two brothers in the second room and the third room heard this, they were suddenly excited, and the third room couldn't help but speak: "This county master is really not a mortal, this trick wants to capture the old and indulge, want to suppress the first Yang, although it is aimed at this little miscellaneous, but the third brother who listened to me was chilled in my heart, fortunately, Daniel Zhang's nephew is the right hand of the county master, otherwise, if the county master is unhappy, I don't know how to die!" ”

Daniel Zhang listened to the third uncle praising himself, and suddenly his face was also spiritual, and he looked at the high-spirited Zhang Xian on the Taishi chair gloomily, and quietly said: "As long as the second uncle, the third uncle and our family work together, it is not a matter of hand-to-hand to deal with this little baby?" The nephew of the county lieutenant has not been mixed up and waited for death over the years, the county commander has always regarded his nephew as a confidant, this time the adult asked the staff to tell us that we want to separate the family, and it is also the care of the county commander, otherwise, once this little baby can't complete the emperor's errand, the whole family will suffer from the disaster, we are separated, and naturally it has nothing to do with us. ”

"Oh, oh, oh, I see, in the future, the second uncle, the third uncle and your cousins will count on the virtuous nephew to take care of it~"

Dafang saw that the two brothers were in the same boat as him, and in fact, the two brothers had to be in the same boat as himself, and he was immediately full of confidence. No matter how capable your little baby is, in the face of this bureau arranged by the county master, see how you break it! Spoken:

"Patriarch, you are so scheming, you easily set up our three uncles, I really don't know how your grandfather would feel if he had a spirit in the sky and saw you behaving so nonsense! Now, the patriarch is double happy, I just received a letter from the county lord, I read it to the patriarch and all the clansmen! ”

When the big house yin and yang weird belief in the baoju, everyone suddenly felt a chill, most of these partial people, most of them are engaged in cheap business, hard work and family wealth, know that the county lord's baoju letter, is clearly a letter of urgency! There is no way to use this little bit of carriage and horses to transport so much grain and grass, and in extraordinary times, money cannot buy carriages and horses.

Dafang saw that everyone was in shock, and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, today's patriarch's approach, I will never agree, it will only be the relatives and the enemy, it is clear that the family of the elders is snatched for no reason, and the concubines are suppressed out of the houses. Just now I discussed with the second room and the third room, since the patriarch can't tolerate our three rooms in his eyes, from today on, our three rooms will be separated and self-reliant, and no longer recognize this little patriarch as the patriarch of my Zhang family. ”

As soon as Zhang Xian heard Dafang speak like this, he said loudly: "Wait, if you want to set up another door, the patriarch will never stop it, but what do you say about abolishing the elder and standing young, is the eldest uncle questioning his grandfather's decision?" I really don't know where the eldest uncle puts "filial piety"? Since you left today, then from today onwards, everything you have to do with the Zhang clan will have nothing to do with it! ”

In fact, Zhang Xian watched the three houses and several cousins leave one after another, and he didn't understand why the people were frightened by the letter of protection read by Dafang, or his father was pale and explained the stakes to himself, Zhang Xian suddenly realized that this sesame county official had begun to take revenge on himself. This county official was coerced by his opponent and had to help his opponent as a last resort, so he set a dead end for his opponent with his backhand, killing people invisibly, and he was really an old fritter in officialdom! This dead end must be solved by himself, otherwise he and this family will be finished, but how to solve it, Zhang Xian has no good way for the time being. However, this is the time to test the hearts of the family, and those who are willing to stay and tide over the difficulties with themselves now must be the most reliable people in the family, who can rely on them in the future.

Zhang Xian walked down from the Taishi chair, still full of confidence and composure, and said to the clansmen: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has seen today's events, although the younger generation was selected by his grandfather as the patriarch, but in his clan he is still soft-spoken, although the stupid patriarch is bent on eliminating the shortcomings of the family, carrying forward the family, and benefiting everyone in the clan." But the road ahead must be full of ups and downs, such as the county order of the emperor's mission, is the life and death test of the patriarch and the family, it is the nature of people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, the patriarch understands, therefore, you are willing to follow the three major houses today to set up another door, the patriarch will not stop it! If you are willing to tide over the difficulties with your own patriarch, you will have something to achieve in the future, and you will never lose it! It is up to you to decide what to do. ”
