Chapter 156: I'd rather give to a private person than to a public family
"My Lin family is out of three thousand taels!" Just as these people were about to finish reporting the numbers, a thunderous voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, and the number of three thousand taels suddenly stunned them, and after being stunned for a while, there was a chatter.
"Three thousand taels?! Could this Lord of Limburg be crazy about his heart? ”
"This lord of Limburg has always been shrewd, why is he willing to be a fat sheep today?"
"Could it be that what is the background of this new magistrate? To make the lord of Limburgh willing to come up with such a large sum of silver? ”
"Oops! Is the number I just reported missing out? ”
At this moment, everyone finally felt that something was wrong, but it was too late, and Xin Yan slapped the table, "Okay, since you have all reported the number of donations that each family is willing to donate, Benzhi County is here to thank you; Master Lu, and take them down to dinner, I'm a little tired, so I won't accompany them. After speaking, without waiting for them to react, Xin Yan left Shi Shiran.
How could these gentry at the banquet have the heart to eat and drink, and where did Lu Feiqing and Lin Zhennan, who were changing the chives one by one, come up with words, but these two are old rivers and lakes, how can they reveal their purpose with just a few words, Lin Zhennan has no deep friendship with them on weekdays, and others only said that their family has a lot of fertile land by the stream, so they took out such a large sum of silver, just to seek peace; Lu Feiqing launched the martial arts mastery, and a few hands of Tai Chi easily brought the topic aside.
"The silver has been counted, and it is five thousand six hundred and thirty-five taels, which is less than twenty percent of what is needed to repair the embankment! These squires are going to give me a damn! ", the county government said with a sneer.
"There are thousands of counties across the country, isn't that the case?" , Chen Jialuo took the list and looked at it, except for Lin Zhennan, everyone else reported the figures in strict accordance with the ratio of their own family's assets and the Zhao family, "Look at these, they all know it very well in their hearts!" Ignore them for now, with these more than 5,000 taels, at least you can start work first, and talk while you do, before the silver runs out, I will definitely give them an explanation! ”
"Lord Zhixian, the old man of the Zhao family is asking to see you outside!" , a member of the Red Flower Congregation came in disguised as a personal attendant.
"Hehe, I just finished eating and can't wait?" , Chen Jialuo smiled, "It's better for Senior Lu to go out and deal with it, and see what this old gentleman has to say." ”
Lu Feiqing walked outside, "Master Zhao, please take a seat, my family has already laid down to rest, just tell me something Master Zhao!" ”
"Master Lu! You sit first! Zhao Yincheng then helped Lu Feiqing to sit down, and handed over a silver ticket without a trace of fireworks, "Master Lu has come all the way to my Fuding, which is really the blessing of the people of my Fuding, the little old man has nothing to repay, these Master Lu will take it to buy some supplements!" ”
Lu Feiqing has been in the government for a long time, and he has long been accustomed to these things, when he first took office, this old man Zhao also took the squires to wash the dust and send a sum of silver for himself, and today's gift must be something to ask for; He was not hypocritical, opened the silver ticket and swept it gently, only to see that there was a figure of five hundred taels written on it, and sneered in his heart and said in his heart that he was willing to pay five hundred taels to tie up my knot, but I was only willing to pay three hundred taels to build water conservancy, these people are really good squires of my Qing Dynasty! casually put the silver ticket on the table, "What does Master Zhao mean by this?" Today, I see that Master Zhao donated three hundred taels, presumably the family is not rich, you should take back this silver ticket! , saying that it was for him to take it back, but did not hand over the silver ticket.
Zhao Yincheng thought that Lu Feiqing wanted to continue to ask for bribes, and his hanging heart suddenly let go of half of it, and he smiled at the moment, "Although the little old man's family business is **, this bit of silver can still be taken out; It's just that as the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, so only three hundred taels were reported in the hall today, and Xiao Lao'er still has one thousand taels to repay to the county magistrate. After speaking, he took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it over, as for whether the money was used for the county government to repair water conservancy or to the county magistrate, he did not say clearly.
This is secretly Xu Xinyan can be swallowed, Lu Feiqing took it and said lightly, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
Zhao Yincheng was overjoyed when he saw Lu Feiqing accept the silver, thinking that today's level was passed, but it was always a little painful to give out 1,800 taels of silver at once, and after saying a few empty words to Lu Feiqing, he asked tentatively, "The lord of Youzhi County must be foolproof in the embankment of Tongshan Creek." ”
Lu Feiqing's eyelids drooped, and she couldn't see the expression on her face, "Wind and rain are impermanent, this is accurate, if there is a case, then you will have to test the squires to do their best to help." ”
Zhao Yincheng thought he understood Lu Feiqing's code words, and then asked, "If there is a case, it is my duty to wait for the food to be delivered!" I just don't know who should take the lead in this aftermath? This asks who will belong to the fields on both sides of the stream after the disaster.
It's shameless! Lu Feiqing suppressed the anger in her heart and said lightly, "I'll talk about this later." ”
This dead old man is going to extort a sum of money when the time comes! Zhao Yincheng hated it so much, and secretly scolded him in his heart for being so greedy that he was not afraid of breaking his stomach, but he didn't know that Lu Feiqing also commented on him in his heart. Anyway, today's goal has been achieved, and the future will be talked about in the future, it is a big deal to unite all the squires to reduce the price together, since he has made up his mind that Zhao Yincheng will no longer stay, he wants Lu Feiqing to say goodbye when he gets up.
As soon as he went out, Gao Kun, Yang Gongwen and others applied for a meeting one after another, and what they did was exactly the same as Zhao Yincheng, and Lu Feiqing sent them away after accepting a bribe.
"These shameful things! It's good to call yourself a famous family! Returning to the internal office, Lu Feiqing finally couldn't help but slap his palm on the table angrily.
"Senior Lu, don't be impatient, it's okay like this, lest we not be ruthless!" , Long before entering Fuding, Chen Jialuo thought of having a fierce conflict with the local big landlords, but he was not a brutal person, and he was willing to give the other party a chance, but now since they are not interested, don't blame yourself.
"For the sake of a few acres of land, they have to force people to die, and all the sage books are read into the dog's belly!" , Lu Feiqing is still angry.
"Brother Twelve has just returned from delivering the letter, and he has now initially gained the trust of everyone in the Evil Tiger Village, so he is waiting for us to choose one to start the knife first!" , Chen Jialuo handed the note sent back by Shi Shuangying to Lu Feiqing.
Lu Feiqing hurriedly looked at it and asked, "Chief helmsman, which one should we attack first?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry today, wait until tomorrow when I go to the Zhuangzi, and call several leaders on the Zhuangzi over to discuss it carefully."
