Qin Ye said his plan, "Dad, I didn't say that I shouldn't pay it, I have handed over the property or anything, and it's useless to say anything now." I mean, if we have the chance, we can have some private money, and then we can live our lives. ”

"You say this again." Qin Yongsen has heard him say this more than once, maybe he is used to hearing it, and it is not so harsh.

"The child is just worried, if the old man is a hundred years old, what will we do? Qi Fengzhuang, to put it mildly, Old Man Zhao has almost become the deputy hall master. Seeing Qin Yongsen's eyes, Qin Ye hurriedly said: "Nangong Jin is often absent, and Hall Master Zhao said that Nangong Jin should be determined, isn't it?" God knows. In short, he said yes, this, this is to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. ”

"I also often write letters to Nangong Jin." Qin Yongsen retorted.

"Has he returned?" Qin Ye looked at Qin Yongsen, "Dad, he came to Jingzhou and lived in Qifengzhuang every time." This time, he also took the whole family to their sword hall, don't think that Li Qiang is kind, he just pretended to be shown to others, and the sword dance lasted for several days, why? Isn't it just to make the old lady happy? What about us? Dad also went to invite, is he here? ”

"That's not right, he's been to see the old man." Qin Yongsen was dissatisfied.

"That's right, Dad, that's why I asked, if the old man is a hundred years old, what will we do? If you want money or not, you have no power, and you have to rely on their Nangong clan's snort everywhere. Dad, look at the long-term workers in the house, they still have a deadline, and we are selling ourselves into slavery. ”

"Nonsense, we do what we have to do, and Nangong Jin is not that kind of person."

Qin Ye sighed, "Then I'll say something unpleasant, look at Chengfeng and Leshui, the master of Hong Hall is still the son of Hong Lai, how did Nangong Pu guarantee it at the beginning?" I don't know. It's just that Nangong Jin never promised us anything. ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Yongsen didn't know what to say.

Qin Ye looked at Qin Yongsen and said sincerely, "I don't mean anything either. The Nangong clan naturally has to rely on it, and our Qin family can't betray them, but ......, I'm just saying that if we can, shouldn't we also make some private money? It's just an emergency. Take 10,000 steps back and say, if something happens in the future, will Nangong Jin borrow it? It's like a long-term worker in the family asks us to borrow a thousand taels, Dad, will you borrow it? ”

Qin Yongsen thought for a long time, "Fushou Gao is not a good thing, and our Qin family can't touch it forever." ”

"Of course not, what if you can make money with a hand?" Qin Ye asked in a low voice.

Qin Yongsen suddenly turned his head and glared at Qin Ye and said, "It's really you!" ”

Qin Ye shook his head desperately, "Dad, how is it possible?" Now it's saying it's us, it's really me, I'm going to make people say that? Some people say that he Nangong Jin did it, do you believe it too? ”

Qin Yongsen was stunned, but he was right, "Then what did you mean just now?" ”

"Just let it be passed outside, Nangong Jin wants to believe us, and he will not doubt it. He is much more credible than us when he refutes the rumors, at least it shows that he is on the same side as us. Dad, you see, we didn't do this, we didn't put the rumors, and we didn't refute the rumors. It has nothing to do with us from beginning to end, but it has damaged our reputation. However, Zhang Long is my hair, whether he made it up or not, he always said it, otherwise the old man would not know. So, if I want him to compensate us for the loss of our reputation for this, he must also pay for it. ”

Qin Yongsen sighed, "Even if it's such a reason, your little hair is not a rich master." ”

"Now, not necessarily. In short, I can't let him get rich because of our fame and not give us some compensation. Qin Ye said angrily.

Qin Yongsen shook his head, shook his head again, and finally said, "I can't control your children's affairs. Don't get into trouble, the old man said that Nangong Jin is a person with means. ”

Qin Ye smiled imperceptibly.

**********

However, one day later, Qin Yongsen appeared in the hall of Qifengzhuang, holding the stoneware pot in his hand and handing it to Nangong Jin.

Nangong Jin took it with a smile, pretending to be the first time she saw it, and asked inexplicably, "What is this?" ”

Qin Yongsen said respectfully: "If the subordinates are not mistaken, this should be Fushou gao." This thing was found by my father in the countryside and asked his subordinates to report it to the head of the hall. At present, this kind of thing has been flooded in the township, and it is even rumored everywhere that it is related to the Iron Knife Hall. After the subordinates found out, they immediately checked the hall, and it really had nothing to do with my Iron Sword Hall. ”

"This thing has always been in the south, how can Jingzhou have it?" Nangong Jin put down the jar in his hand and asked.

"My subordinates don't know."

"Can you find the source?" Nangong Jin continued to ask.

Qin Yongsen shook his head, "It's too scattered to verify." ”

For a long time, Nangong Jin looked at him as if he had a deep meaning, or maybe it was just Qin Yongsen's own feelings. I only heard Nangong Jin say: "Okay, I know." You go back first. ”

As soon as Qin Yongsen left, Li Songran hurriedly came in through the side door, "Ah Jin, there are indeed everywhere in ten miles and eight towns, and a few stores are even bold enough to sell them openly. Such a jar costs twenty taels, and there are purer ones in porcelain bottles, fifty taels. ”

"So expensive?" Nangong Jin was taken aback.

"I asked, if it's the first time to get the goods, such a clay pot will be given away for five bottles, even if it is not sold just to see, there are also paper packages for free." As he spoke, he took out a few white paper bags from his arms.

The amount of goods in the white paper bag is very small, but the purity is obviously better than the clay pot in Nangong Jin's hand.

Nangong Jin was shocked, according to this method, it won't be long before everyone in Jingzhou will be sucking. "When did it start? Is there no one in the local area? ”

"I heard that it was a gift of silver, and it was said that it was our Nangong clan's business, and the local government turned a blind eye and sold it as medicinal materials. The area around Jingzhou should have been three or four months ago. I haven't checked it even farther away. Li Songran said hurriedly.

Nangong Jin's expression was serious, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Song Ran, are you sure this matter has nothing to do with the family?" ”

When Li Songran heard him ask, anger rose in his heart, "Sure!" No one in the family would do such a hurtful thing! ”

Nangong Jin nodded, and said with a straight face: "You take these things and report to the official immediately." In addition, let the head of each hall and the deputy head of the hall go to the council hall immediately. ”

"Good. However, in this matter, the government may ask the main family to be present. ”

"When I'm done here, I'll go find Master Pan."

Within a quarter of an hour, the chamber was full. Nangong Jin's opening remarks were very simple: "Jingzhou discovered Fushou Gao, the rumors are related to us, I just ask, is it everyone here?" ”

There was a silence on the scene, and even most people were surprised. Nangong Jin began to roll call, "Hall Master Zhao? ”

"No, no one in the whole hall of Qifeng Hall participated." Zhao Fengming did not hesitate.

"Hall Master Li?" Nangong Jin looked at Li Qiang.

"It's not." Li Qiang's answer was very simple, and her expression was very affirmative.

"Hall Master Qin?"

Qin Yongsen was nervous in his heart, and hurriedly said: "No, by no means, there are rumors outside that it is the Iron Sword Hall, but this is a rumor!" ”

"Okay." Nangong Jin looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Fushou Gao's business, our Nangong clan didn't do it before, don't do it now, and will never do it in the future." ”

Qin Ye lowered his head and panicked.

Nangong Jin glanced at the people present and continued: "Because this matter involves the reputation of the Nangong clan, I have already asked Li Songran to report to the official. In a while, I will also go to Master Pan to inform me of the solution. Now ask for the congregations:"

"First, all shops, properties, and residences under the name of each hall have posted notices of resolute boycott of Fushou gao, stating that if they are found within 100 steps of this area, they will immediately report to the authorities. The content of the notice was written by Deputy Hall Lin, and after it was written, it was handed over to me for confirmation before printing and posting. If it is found that there is a place that is not posted, the person who is the owner of the shop or property shall be dismissed, and the head of the hall where he is located shall be punished with 50 rods. This matter is supervised by the Qin Hall Master. ”

"Second, thoroughly search all shops and properties under the name of each hall, and if Fushou Gao is found, expel all the personnel of the shop or property and escort them to the government. The head of the hall is no longer the head of the hall. In this matter, each hall will draw ten congregation, and the deputy hall master will be responsible for it, and it will be inspected from time to time in the future. ”

"Thirdly, make a wooden family emblem that can be worn, and the number of them shall be determined according to the list submitted by each congregation. It is the responsibility of Hall Master Zhao, and it must be completed by the day after tomorrow. After the production is completed, it will be handed over to each hall for distribution, and all three halls must wear it in the future. If anyone does not bring it, he shall be punished with fifty rods. ”

At the same time, four people from each hall cooperated with the officers and soldiers at the city gate to strictly check all the belongings of the people entering and leaving the hall, and if they found Fushou Gao, they would be immediately expelled and escorted to the government. The head of the hall is no longer the head of the hall. This matter is in the hands of Hall Master Li. Do you understand? ”

Everyone in the audience said in unison, "My subordinates understand." ”

"Go for it."

As soon as the meeting ended, Nangong Jin hurried to Jingzhou Mansion to ask for a meeting with Pan Minyi Pan.

In the living room of Jingzhou Mansion, Li Songran was still explaining Jingzhou's discovery of Fushou Gao, and Master Pan frowned and listened carefully. As soon as Nangong Jin entered, Pan Minyi got up and took two steps, her face full of 'headache, another trouble'.

"Second son, why did something happen again?" Pan Minyi really suspected that the second son was incompatible with Jingzhou.

Nangong Jin replied: "Master Pan, I have ordered to go down to the three halls to strictly investigate, and from the day after tomorrow, there will also be people from the three halls at each city gate to check our own halls." If it is verified, it will be escorted to the government. ”

"This kind of thing, it has been a few months since it appeared in the countryside of Jingzhou, and now that it has entered the city, Lord Pan must take action no matter what. In particular, the officials of the subordinate townships and villages should not let things go. It's not too long, and if the means are severe, it should be able to break the roots. Our Nangong subordinates will also cooperate with the adults. After Nangong Jin finished speaking, she looked at Pan Minyi.

Pan Minyi scratched her head, this kind of thing is really brain-consuming, I only know that the court strictly prohibits it, but there is no way to strictly prohibit it, so she said: "It's better to inform the hazard first, let the lieutenant be responsible, and the neighbors report each other ......." After thinking about it, he asked, "This thing is not cheap, is it?" "What if it's a rich family?

"It's true that the family can't afford to play without a certain strength. However, now there are a large number of gifts of Fushou gao, and what the mastermind wants is also spreading. Nangong Jin seemed to see Pan Minyi's thoughts.

"Let's do this first, I'll report it too, and see how we get it." Pan Minyi looked at Nangong Jin, this trick was the same as Nangong Jin's choice to report to the official, at least to clear himself.

"There's Lord Laupan." Nangong Jin saluted.

Pan Minyi waved her hand, "It's okay, it's okay, this is what the government should do." You can't watch this thing flood in Jingzhou. ”
