"What? This is Ruan Dacheng's silver? I can't take his money. ”

Old friend Yang Wencong came from afar, Dong Xiaowan was very happy, especially Yang Wencong and his wife had saved her, but when they heard Ruan Dacheng's name, they instinctively disgusted. Because of preconceived reasons, Ruan Dacheng has become notorious under the description of the literati of the Fushe.

How bad is Ruan Dacheng's reputation? In history, Hou Fangyu wanted to redeem Li Xiangjun and raise money everywhere, and at this time, Ruan Dacheng gave this money for Hou Fangyu in order to win over the restoration society. After Li Xiangjun found out about the result, he almost turned his face with Hou Fangyu, and it can also be seen that Ruan Dacheng is indeed not bad for money.

Yang Wencong also knew why Dong Xiaowan refused, and said with some embarrassment: "Xiaowan, now that your mother is seriously ill, creditors have come to the door, and it is the time when there is a shortage of silver." It's better to take this money for emergency purposes first, and then return it to Yuanhai when you have plenty of money in the future. ”

"No need! I still have silver. Dong Xiaowan insisted: "Besides, I can't accept his favor, Mr. Longyou helped me thank him for his kindness." ”

Dong Xiaowan has just sold a treasured pair of "Ice Flowers Like Jade" for two hundred and twenty silver, and he can still support it for a while.

Yang Wencong had no choice but to take back the silver.

"Xiao Wan, you don't know yet, right? Zhu Tongrui died. Yang Wencong said a shocking news.

"Zhu Tongrui is dead? How did he die? Dong Xiaowan covered Yin Tao's mouth and exclaimed. Zhu Tongrui was like a huge shadow enveloping her, making her feel that a crisis could come at any time, and now this demon was dead.

Yang Longyou said with a smile: "He was sentenced by Lord Wang Yue and Wang Sihua on the streets of Qinhuai River. ”

Then he sent people to search Dong Xiaowan's rented building in Diaoyu Lane, and happened to meet Wang Yue coming to find Dong Xiaowan, Wang Yue sent troops into Nanjing City in anger, raided Zhu Tongrui's home, arrested Zhu Tongrui and his minions, and killed them all to Dong Xiaowan one by one.

In the end, Yang Wencong sighed: "Now your sisters say that Lord Wang Sihua's affection for Xiaowan is almost known to passers-by. ”

The news about Zhu Tongrui's rectification has been published in the new issue of Ming Pao, and of course the details about Dong Xiaowan have been hidden from the news. However, the speed of information transmission in this era was very slow, especially in the Jiangnan area, which had just begun to promote the circulation of Ming Pao, which was not yet known to everyone.

Dong Xiaowan listened to Yang Wencong's narration in shock, and after being speechless for a while, he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It can't be because of me, if he really wants to, why didn't he come to me?" You must know that he is the governor of Yingtian, and his residence is in Suzhou. ”

"It's all because of you, which means that Lord Wang Sihua should have your place in his heart, as long as you have a heart, there is this possibility." The specific situation, where did Yang Wencong know, he could only vaguely encourage Dong Xiaowan to fight for it.

Yang Wencong knows very well that with Wang Yue's conditions, it is the dream destination of Dong Xiaowan and others.

Dong Xiaowan was thoughtful, her contact with Wang Yue was too short, and it was difficult to guess this man's true thoughts.

Ruan Dacheng's silver was not given away, but he was not discouraged, but simply helped Dong Xiaowan repay his debts.

Dong Xiaowan didn't know about this yet, and the creditors came to the door less and less, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. But her mother's illness is still a big expense, two months later, Dong Xiaowan was forced to come to Suzhou Bantang Leyun Building to resume her old business, because of her appearance and talent, soon became famous in Suzhou.

To say that Suzhou is really a place to produce beautiful women, this year there is also a famous prostitute with excellent talent in Suzhou's pear orchard who has just emerged, her name is Chen Yuanyuan.

The work of collecting fees from the city management of Suzhou Prefecture continued to unfold and intensified, and some people began to lose their seats. Because this management fee has been received in the silk weaving industry, the silk weaving industry in Suzhou is very developed, and it is also a very lucrative industry.

On 22 September, more than 150 ruffians and dozens of chengguan on the street engaged in a scuffle, and because the chengguan was well-equipped and from the former Ming army, they finally killed five scoundrels, wounded 34 others, and captured 26 scoundrels at the cost of injuring nine of them.

On 30 September, more than 200 businessmen went to the yamen of the Suzhou prefect to complain to Chen Hongmi, the prefect of Suzhou, about the harm of the chengguan, hoping that he would intervene in the matter.

Chen Hongmi appeased the businessmen and said that he would come forward to coordinate, which temporarily stabilized the mood of the businessmen.

Yingtian Governor Yamen Xingyuan backyard, Yingtian City Administration.

"Lord Ruan, now that Suzhou is boiling with resentment because of the urban management matter, if you are not careful, I am afraid that the disaster of the tax supervisor in the Wanli period will be repeated!" Chen Hongmi, the prefect of Suzhou, said to Ruan Dacheng.

Ruan Dacheng, the director of the city management bureau, is not in the imperial court system, and Chen Hongmi calls him an adult, which is already very face-saving.

"Lord Chen, the chengguan was set up by Wang Zhongcheng himself, and the charging standard was also set by Wang Zhongcheng himself, and the director of the bureau is just carrying out Wang Zhongcheng's orders." Ruan Dacheng said slowly.

Chen Hongmi frowned and said, "Lord Ruan, can you suspend the urban management fees first, and wait for Wang Zhongcheng to come back to listen to the public opinion before making a decision?" ”

"Can't!" Ruan Dacheng said in a resolute tone: "Without Wang Zhongcheng's order, I have no right to terminate the chengguan fees." ”

"You...!"

After Chen Hongmian left, Ruan Dacheng said to Li Chuanxin, director of the Jiangnan Branch of the Military Investigation Bureau, who rushed over from Nanjing: "Director Li, it is very likely that Governor Chen's visit this time is the intention of saluting first and then soldiering, and we should take precautions as soon as possible." ”

Ruan Dacheng is very familiar with the situation in Jiangnan, and the local government is the spokesperson of those big families.

Li Chuanxin nodded and said, "Director Ruan, don't worry, we have already made arrangements in advance. ”

Before the Suzhou urban management fee, the Military Investigation Bureau had already made preliminary arrangements to deal with emergencies.

On October 6th, the night covered the land, and the bustling city of Suzhou was still lively at the beginning of the day.

In the middle of Guanqian Street, there is a four-storey restaurant, this restaurant is called Taibai Building, which can be regarded as one of the most luxurious restaurants in Suzhou, so the price here is naturally not expensive, and the people who can come are basically either rich or expensive.

Tonight, the shopkeeper Li of Taibai Building stood in front of the door and greeted the guests attentively.

"I ......... Shen Yuanwai, you haven't been here for a long time, rare guests, please come in! ”

"I'm here, Mr. Qian, you're finally here, Lord Zhao, they will all go in for a while, and I'll be waiting for you."

"Master Sun, please come in ......"

The fat and round shopkeeper Li stood at the door of the Drunken Immortal Building with two guys, nodding at the old men who had just gotten off the sedan chair, and the muscles on his face were squeezed together with a smile.
