Fifty-six: An excuse to send it to the door
"Please make the decision for the unjust death of Brother Qianshao!" As soon as Yao Qianshao entered the door, he knelt down in front of Zhong Hao with his knees bent, and he cried like tears. He is already handsome, and this pear blossom with rain looks like a woman.
"Qianshao, what's wrong with you?" Zhong Hao leaned back in the round-backed chair and took the teacup from the maid's hand and put it in his hand. He lowered his head slightly, looked at Yao Qianshao with tears on his face, and asked with great concern.
"My eldest brother was killed for no reason the day before yesterday, although there is no witness, but Qianshao knows who did it!" Yao Qianshao said indignantly, the hand lying on the ground was already clenched into a fist, and he looked very sad and angry.
"Really? Tell me about it! Zhong Hao's tone was as angry as him.
Yao Qianshao wiped his tears, "Go back to Gongzi." The year before last, my eldest brother was instructed by my father to act as the presiding officer, and he claimed the port of Bozhou. The harbor is open in water, large ships can travel smoothly, and it is located in a rich place in the southeast, so the income is extremely considerable. At that time, in order to seek eastward development, the Zeng government purchased an excellent salt pan in Wan'an Prefecture with a lot of money. However, Zhuo Jun was dissatisfied with the spread of Zeng's power to the place under his jurisdiction, colluded with the local government and the shopkeeper who sold Yantian, and framed Zeng's mansion, and the lawsuit between the two families lasted for more than half a year. ”
Zhong Hao nodded, and Yao Qianshao knelt down and continued: "After this incident, it was my eldest brother who began to operate the port of Bozhou, and the business was excellent, and at the best time, almost half of the cargo ships in the southeast region were operated. For a time, it was in the limelight, and it also became a very high-profile figure in the local area. ”
"Once, a shipload of spices from the Zeng government went north after loading official salt through this port, but it was intercepted by the government, saying that it was carrying illicit salt. Childe, you know, the Yantian that we cooperate with the imperial court has always been reported on time and in quantity, and never dared to be selfish. But that time, a large amount of unregistered illegal salt was unexpectedly found. The ship was resupplied from the port that my eldest brother cared for, and indeed the goods were loaded from the salt pans of Tsangfu, but we can't tell you anything. ”
Speaking of this, Yao Qianshao was aggrieved again. "In order to prove his innocence, my eldest brother led people to conduct a thorough investigation day and night, and only then did he catch some eyebrows. A gentleman in the accounting office made false accounts, he tampered with the amount of goods that had already been put into storage, and erased the number of goods that had been put on board, so that the amount of salt transported exceeded the regulations of the imperial court. After the incident, this bookkeeper died suddenly, and this unexplained mess was thrown to my eldest brother and Zeng's house. This matter was really unbearable at that time, and even the officials in the capital were ready to submit the matter. In the end, he invited the master to come forward, and directly begged the Lord of the Household Department Shangshu to finally settle the matter. ”
Zhong Hao was a little impressed by this matter. At that time, he was still studying at the Ayutthaya Library, and he didn't care about his family's affairs. But this incident has made some fame, and the rumors are boiling, and the rumors also say that the Song family may break the financial route of sea transportation, and see the blame on the imperial court, and I am afraid that in the future, I will not be able to be so rich and rich again.
Zhong Hao just smiled, the people who would believe these words really didn't know much about the Song family. Just being a businessman has always been the ultimate goal of the Song family, such as himself.
He motioned for the girl to hand Yao Qianshao a handkerchief. Yao Qianshao naturally bowed his head and thanked him when he took it in his hand, and continued: "Because of this, the Zeng Mansion was reprimanded by Master Song for poor management, and this salt field was handed over to the Zhuo family to manage. And we were implicated and were robbed of the trade in silk and silk. All this was handed over to the Zhuo family. My eldest brother was angry, so he secretly checked, only to find out that the only daughter of the bookkeeper was married as a daughter-in-law in the home of the shopkeeper of a restaurant, and the old mother of the shopkeeper was the nurse of the second lady of the Zhuo family. This woman has been married for three years and has not been pregnant, so the family is anxious to see the concubine, and the last person to marry is the granddaughter of the old woman of the Zhuo family who marries her sister. Compared with the two, it is natural that this concubine and the nurse are more intimate. However, the main room has not been pregnant for many years, and its status is naturally in jeopardy. In comparison, they must have taken this as the key point, and taught the account house to deceive and deceive the subordinates in this way. ”
Yao Qianshao secretly glanced at Song Zhonghao and found that he was thinking, so he sighed and said: "Poor Mr. Bookkeeper lost his life to do this, and his daughter was still swept out of the house and cried every day, which was discovered by my brother." My brother communicated with the Zeng Mansion, but the two families could not come up with conclusive evidence of the Zhuo family's instructions, so they had to endure this breath. After that, if any boat related to the Zhuo family is used, my brother will strictly investigate and scrutinize his many transactions, and I will hold a grudge against my brother here. But I don't want to, I would do such a poisonous hand, it is really inhumane, and I ask my son to be my brother's master, Qianshao is willing to help! ”
Hulala said for a long time, and the last few words were his intention. Zhong Hao twisted his stiff neck slightly, thinking that it would be good to go to the flower building for a while and look for a cigarette to press.
The person in front of him said so impassionedly, but how many words are true?
At that time, his eldest brother was in charge of family affairs, and it was obviously a settled posture, if there was no such thing, Yao Dagongzi would not have fallen out of favor again and again. The entry and exit of official salt must be closely scrutinized, and it is impossible to get out of the chaos with a small account man, is it possible that no one can help? What's more, the boss of the Yao family has not interfered in these things for many years, so is it too late to retaliate at this time.
Regardless of the past, this person is right in front of him, and he is extremely smart enough to understand what he means, so it's good for him.
"Eh, knowing that the Zeng family and the Zhuo Mansion are not dealing with each other, your eldest brother is too imprudent to go on this trip to troubled waters." Zhong Hao said without words, no matter who this situation falls on, it can't escape, no matter how cautious it is, it's useless. He just said this to keep the following words coming out.
"However, I didn't expect that the Zhuo family was already so arrogant. It is inevitable that there will be disputes between the mansions. By doing this, he has moved the foundation of my Song Sect, which is really chilling. I also understand your love for your brother, and I understand what you mean, and I will help you get justice in the future. ”
As soon as he received the news of Yao Qianyu's death, Yao Qianshao already had a premonition that this was an opportunity. Unexpectedly, Song Zhonghao was even more urgent than him, and sent Xu Qingxia to come to the house the next day to offer condolences. The meaning of Xu Qingxia's words is also very clear, Song Gongzi needs to give this headless case an ending that he likes, then there is nothing more convincing than bringing the Zhuo family in. In addition, you can let him know your determination.
At this time, whoever helped the eldest son of the Song family will have a truly limitless future.
With the acquiescence of the Song family, the funeral of the Yao family was naturally very grand. The governments did not dare to slack off, and came to pay attention to it.
Among them, the most eye-catching is Yao Qianshao, who accompanies his father to entertain guests in the lobby, as if he is the future master of the Yao family. And his second brother Yao Qianqi, who has always been diligent and conscientious, arranged the carriages and horses of the people outside the gate of the mansion.
The other brothers merely sat quietly before the spirit or talked to acquaintances.
Xu Qingxia sat by the window of the side hall, holding the teacup in her hand, and took a sip slowly. Song Zhonghao asked him to take care of the Yao family's affairs on his behalf, what kind of errand is this. People who don't know what they think they mean by how important this is, but in fact, they just want to send themselves away so that they can meet that person alone.
The tea is very bitter in the mouth.
He put down the teacup, and the door to the side hall was pushed open.
