Chapter 30: Fortune (6)
Under Xu Qing's intervention, the Huang family got a big purge, those who did not obey Huang Shimei's management, all the streams that should flow, those who should move, and those who were not satisfied, played the board!
There was an old man who cried and shouted and scolded Huang Shimei for inviting wild men and harming the Huang family. Xu Qing asked Dark River to investigate, but found out a lot of evidence that this old man sold the ancestral property of the Huang family and took the Huang family's production privately.
The whole guy is full of benevolence and morality, and has a belly of male prostitutes and female thieves. As soon as the evidence is displayed, the reputation is shattered, and the old age can't stand this kind of blow, and he can't afford to get sick......
Since then, no one in the Huang family has dared to disobey Huang Shimei. Who's clean in their hands? It's better to swallow your anger than to be ruined......
And the matter that Xu Qing wanted to investigate already had some eyebrows...... The problem is that it is still the Yu family.
The original Yu family was not ranked high in Cangzhou, but the Yu family had the largest proportion in Yanshan, and no one could investigate why.
I only know that after the other industries of the Yu family were collapsed one by one, Yanshan remained immovable and did not appear to have been hit at all.
At that time, it happened to be the period when Huang Shimei was set aside. The group of old men of the Huang family finally had power in their hands, and they were very unsightly, and they drove away all the Yu families on Yanshan in one go.
Huang Shimei took care of things again, only to find that in the past few days, most of the Huang family's stores have lost most of their money, and there are people making trouble everywhere, and the trouble is nothing, and many strange things have happened.
For example, the fish bought by the Huang family fish shop has a note in the stomach that reads: The Huang family is here, and there has been a drought for three years. Again, someone bought a piece of white cloth and just wanted to cut a piece of clothing, but suddenly it became blood-red...... Yunyun.
The secret room murder case has also been fabricated into a ghost incident by someone with a heart, and Xu Qing's trick to appease people's hearts is useless.
In short, the Huang family has now become a cursed thing in the eyes of the people of Cangzhou, and if it is stained with the Huang family, it will continue to be unlucky.
The crux of the problem is this, then prescribe the right medicine! Blockade the whole territory, strictly investigate those who spread rumors and make trouble, arrest a group of people, and interrogate them day and night! This is just a momentum, and it seems that Xu Qing is bound to investigate to the end.
The night is boundless, the river is the world!
The members of the Dark River are like chasing the wind and arrows, groping along various unknown dark lines......
It's a pity that Liu Zan wrote a letter and an edict from Chang'an and pressed on Xu Qing's head.
There are only eight words in Liu Zan's letter, which are: "It is a matter of contention, and it cannot be moved again." ”
The edict is more intriguing: "The system said, Xu Qing implemented tyranny in Cangzhou, which was humiliating, and because of the condemnation of many imperial history, he blamed Xu Qing for punishing all the people for three months, hoping that he would act at his discretion." ”
What is the reason for the fine? It was someone who denounced Xu Qing, not because Xu Qing was insulted. After it was over, Xu Qing didn't let Xu Qing reflect on his mistakes, and "consider", consider a fart......
The two letters revealed several pieces of information, what happened to Xu Qing's side, or what the Huang family did, provoked a big man. And this big guy also wanted to take this opportunity to engage in sports, so Liu Zan told Xu Qing that it was a matter of contention and could not be moved again.
Xu Qing smiled bitterly, who did this provoke? Almost all the people in the court he knew, although they were all characters who stomped their feet and shook the world, but they were still just one person......
The real power is partisanship! This time, it should have provoked *, or the second master...... Who it is, Xu Qing can't figure it out, but everyone else has provoked him, especially Xu Qing has suffered such a "huge" economic loss, which is simply unbearable!
It doesn't matter who you are, I'm going to bite you this time......
Push out a few people who have already been caught spreading rumors and make them confess the facts of rumor-mongering at the entrance of the vegetable market. After the recruitment, a relatively large figure caught in the dark river was cut off with a knife, and blood was splashed!
In this way, I don't know if it is considered to be a hand-in? It's just that the mysterious hat has never appeared again.
During an inspection, Xu Qing carefully learned about the situation in Cangzhou and found that the situation in Cangzhou was actually not bad. At least, after that grain sale, the problem of eating for the people everywhere was temporarily solved.
Haixing began to build a salt farm, as long as dozens of pots and a shed, the key is to need secrecy. However, there are few people on the seaside, Xu Qing sent hundreds of people to guard it, and there is also a dark river to monitor, so the temporary secrecy should be guaranteed. If production is expanded in the future and there are more people, it may not be possible to hide it.
Huang Hua also began to organize the population to build a dock, which was a relatively large project, and for the time being, it could only build a port where fishing boats could dock.
returned to Cangzhou City and continued to accompany Xun Xueer and Xiaoyue to live a small life. I was tired of living in the Assassin's Mansion, so I went back to the countryside to live. Raise some chickens and ducks, give birth to eggs, boil them in sugar water, and dozens of people in the Thorn Mansion can eat one.
Xu Qing went to the fields for a walk, watching the autumn grain slowly mature, the rice and wheat began to tassel, the wind blew slowly, and the nose was full of fragrance.
There are crabs in the rice fields, and the pests at the rice roots are eaten up. When autumn comes, the crabs begin to fatten, and the officials and farmers catch them all, and the small ones can be pickled and eaten, and the large ones can be steamed, or roasted and eaten in the noodle soup. In the past, the nobles and the rich did not eat this, which was the welfare of the poor.
But as soon as Xu Qing came, he robbed them of their welfare. Stir-fried flower crab with ginger and shallots, stir-fried fragrant crab, crab seaweed porridge, chatting crab...... Xu Qing didn't know how to make crabs, but he couldn't stand so many raw materials for Xu Qing to experiment...... After dozens of times, the crab method was also explored. It's a pity that there are no peppers......
"Brother Xu, what are you eating today?" This is what Xun Xueer asks the most every day. Doesn't it mean that pregnant women have a bad appetite and will be sick to their stomachs when they see meat? Why did I see Xun Xue'er eating more and more......
It's not enough to open one mouth to eat, and the other mouth is also tricked by Xu Qingyang. Xiaoyue commented on Xu Qing's dishes every day, and there was no longer the posture that even Xu Qing had to oppose when he entered the kitchen.
Leisure has no years, a flash of more than ten days.
The Huang family, Huang Shimei discussed a big matter with several people in the family:
"Shimei, you have to think clearly...... an old man was worried, he was one of the few remaining "old cadres" of the Huang family.
"I've thought it through, the Huang family really doesn't need me anymore......" Huang Shimei's eyes were firm: "I used to be angry with those old men who were ungrateful, so I had to fight with them......"
"Then, Shimei, Uncle Rong asks again, what's so good about that Xu Qing? You know, he already has a wife......"
"If you get married, can his family, his eldest wife, tolerate you?"
Huang Shimei listened disapprovingly, and said confidently: "Hmph, he is the only one in his family, he has no parents, his wife is just a peasant girl, and I won't be able to clean her up when the time comes?" ”
"Then he's not a child of the world, is he?" When the old man heard this, he even looked down on Xu Qing, since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, multiple civilians and light martial arts, the old man said: "And he is just a martial artist, Miss, you are both civil and military, I'm afraid ......"
Xu Qing was known as Wenzong in Chang'an, but when he arrived in Hebei, almost no one knew about it.
"This ......" Huang Shimei was a little hesitant when she heard this, she really hoped that Xu Qing would be able to be civil and martial.
"Miss, you don't have to rush to get married......"
Huang Shimei remembered Xu Qingnian's "Tianxian Pei" that day, although the poem is not a poem, and the fu is not a fu, but the rhythm is neat, don't go for a while. She said: "No, Brother Xu must not be a reckless martial artist, I want to go and find out ...... him."
"Miss, you ......" The old man didn't object, this Huang Shimei said yes, if he objected, I am afraid that he would have to go to live for a long time.
The next day, when Xu Qing was catching birds in the woods, Huang Shimei jumped out behind Xu Qing and sentenced the turtle dove in Xu Qing's hand to death with a knife.
Xu Qing looked at Huang Shimei with bird blood in his hand, but he made her very happy, and said, "Brother Xu, is it okay for you to use birds as the theme?" ”
Xu Qing was embarrassed, wiped the bird blood on his hands, and stammered: "Uh, this, alone...... Alone...... Sitting in an empty room uh hand wife, this ...... I am ashamed to mention this matter to outsiders......"
Xu Qing didn't dare to read it anymore and asked, "Does this count?" ”
Smart and knowledgeable like Huang Shimei, she understood Xu Qingnian's crooked poems after a little thought, snorted her nose, and said, "Brother Xu, you are a hooligan!" ”
But Huang Shimei turned her head and thought about it, could this be what Xu Qing was hinting at?
On the third day, Xu Qing was picking vegetables in the vegetable garden, and Huang Shimei jumped out again.
"Brother Xu!"
"Hey, why are you here again, Miss Xu?" Xu Qing jumped, crossed his waist and almost didn't scold.
"Why is it here again, what do you mean by that?" Huang Shimei said, waving a long stick in her hand, Xu Qing saw it and said busily:
"Uh, uh, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth......" As soon as the words came out, Huang Shimei bit it with her teeth, meaning, last time I moved my mouth, didn't you too...... Xu Qing touched his neck, and there was a chill:
"Well, you can't even move!"
Huang Shimei smiled brightly and unfolded the long stick in her hand, which turned out to be a landscape painting.
"Brother Xu, can you help me write a poem?"
Xu Qing saw that it was a landscape painting, and there was a detachment between the mountains and rivers, so Xu Qing said: "There is no ink ......"
"Let's go, go to your house!"
"Eh, you're a girl, go to my house, okay?"
"What's the matter, Brother Xu is still afraid of internal success?"
"Hehe, you're not afraid of a girl, can I still be afraid?"
When she arrived at home, Xu Qing went to the study to inscribe, and Huang Shimei went to visit Xun Xueer.
Xu Qing wrote on the painting:
"Mountains are mountains, and water is water
Mountains are not mountains, and water is not water
Mountains and mountains, water and water"
After writing, Xu Qing was fascinated, no wonder Qianlong always likes to scribble on famous paintings.
"Chinese characters, good sentences......" Xu Qing admired herself, Huang Shimei also saw Xun Xue'er come back, her face was unhappy, she seemed to have encountered something unhappy, she walked in, and when she saw Xu Qing's stinky words, she was angry all of a sudden: "Hmph, you are so perfunctory to me, ignore you......"
picked up the painting and rushed out angrily, leaving Xu Qing stunned. After a while, Xun Xue'er also came, saw Xu Qing and said:
"Brother Xu, Shimei, she made it clear to me that she wanted to marry you as a concubine, but I told her about Xiaoyue...... She ......"
