"How much silver is that?"

"A rough estimate of more than 10,000 taels, mainly because the fineness of this gold is hard to say."

There were five people in the study room of the inner house, Qin Chuan father and daughter, Zhu Da, Zhou Qingyun and Li He, and they were surrounding several wooden boxes, which contained gold, silver and money.

Seeing the gold and silver light flickering, Qin Juren was in a trance for a moment, but he quickly calmed down, he slowly shook his head, let out a long breath, and then a smile appeared on his face, and said to Zhu Da: "Tell me the ins and outs, tell me how you escaped, and how you got such a big fortune." ”

In front of Qin Juren, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were very natural, Li Hecai looked a little at a loss, Qin Chuan just waved his hand and said: "Sit down and talk, Li and you don't see each other, they are all their own family." After his seemingly unintentional greeting, Li He's face softened a lot.

Zhu Da cleared his throat and began to tell, starting from taking Qin Qin back to Baibao Village, to going to the mountain hut, to discovering that the Tartars were attacking, and seeing that Baibao Village and the new village by the river were slaughtered and bloodied, until the Tartars retreated, they went into the village to check, and then took Qin Qin to the county seat, and then went to the city, doing business, death matching, and holding the county order hostage until Qin Chuan came back.

Only Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun have experienced these things, many things even Qin Qin and Li He heard for the first time, everyone listened to them very attentively, of course Zhu Da did not describe them all, left Zheng Jiaji to kill Zheng Yong, and found that the official cavalry participated in the slaughter, he and Zhou Qingyun went down the mountain late at night to investigate the two villages and did not say, among which Qin Qin could guess some truth, but with Zhu Da's understanding of her, the girl would not tell her father.

In the process of telling, Qin Qin did not shy away from it because he was a child, he went to the Fang family and the Yang family to kill people and set fire to them at night, went to the business road to fight with the thieves and soldiers, and the disposal of the family and the coachman, all of which were explained in detail, and the girl listened carefully, although she was sometimes afraid and nervous, but she did not lose her temper.

After hearing this, Qin Chuan didn't make a sound for a while, and finally sighed and said with emotion: "This is really a catastrophe from heaven, if ordinary people die in this catastrophe, it is really not easy for you to escort Qin Qin out." “

After speaking, there was silence again, and Qin Juren didn't know what to say, so after a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice: "Have your parents and master been buried, and they have to be buried in the ground." ”

"The weather is hot, there are too many corpses, Qingyun and I can't be busy, and we are afraid that the tartars will not be cleaned, so we set the fire and burn it all." Zhu Da replied in a muffled voice.

There was silence here, Qin Chuan sighed, everyone had nothing to say, just looked at the gold and silver goods in public, just quiet for a moment, Qin Jucai said: "When it is convenient for a day, take someone to bury the ashes or something, it can be regarded as a place to go." ”

"I haven't bothered for so many days, I'm afraid that the wind and rain have long been mixed with the soil, not to mention that the casualties over there are too heavy, the fire may not be able to burn clean, and there may be epidemics, just keep my parents and master in mind, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life." Judah said calmly.

"I'll never forget it in my life." Zhou Qingyun followed, the meaning of these words can only be understood by the two of them, in addition to hatred, there are also realistic considerations, I am afraid that the area that has been washed by the Tartars and the official army is very unsafe, in addition to the epidemic, God knows when the official army will be washed again, they killed so thoroughly, they must have other plans, just with the force of themselves and their families, there is no way to escape from the hands of the official cavalry, and it will even cause other twists and turns.

"Since you think so, I have nothing more to say." Qin Chuan shook his head and said.

"Are uncles, aunts, and uncles dead?" Qin Qin asked in a low voice, those cruel scenes The girl didn't see it in person, although she knew it, she didn't confirm it, maybe there was still a bit of luck in her heart, and when she heard Zhu Da say it right today, the last trace of luck in her heart collapsed without a trace.

Seeing Zhu Da nodding, Qin Qin sobbed quietly, Li He, who was sitting in a corner, couldn't help wiping his tears, no one asked him anything, but Li He's whole family died in the Tartars, he also had a bitter hatred, these days are busy and nervous, many things are ignored, and after mentioning it, he found that his heart hurts.

Qin Chuan had a sad and regretful look on his face, but Qin Juren's sadness and anger were nothing more, for him, his daughter was still alive, he was lifted again, and there was a bright and lofty future, Qin Chuan's emotions were at this point.

The dead are dead, the living are still alive, this is the open-minded words that can only be said by bystanders, and the pain caused by the death of a loved one to the living is eternal, perhaps hidden, but never forgotten.

Qin Juren didn't do anything wrong, but Zhu Da was even more sure that the secret of the official cavalry's participation in the massacre could not be told now, and God knew what unpredictable consequences would happen.

The room was quiet again, such silence and silence made everyone's hearts heavy, and in the end, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and spoke: "This time I went to Taiyuan to catch the exam, then Yang Xiong did some favors, my brother is a talent, but he is too sleek, and it is not a bad thing to be a businessman, but it is a bad place to be a businessman. ”

Qin Juren diverted the topic and talked about his trip to Taiyuan to catch the exam, his attitude surprised Li He, Qin Chuan obviously shared his experience and news with Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, this kind of style is not what fathers and sons and elders and juniors should have, but it has a bit of the meaning of equal relations, one is a new promotion, a lonely young man, no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be so equal, is it for the sake of these goods? Li He guessed a lot, but he kept it all in his heart.

Yang Xiong is now a guerrilla in the northwest of Datong Town, a real military general with military power, and he is already the upper-class figure in this Datong border town, although Yang Xiong has done a lot of pickled things in private, but his reputation on face has been well maintained, although Qin Chuan was betrayed by him, if Zhu Da did not save him, he would even die on the street, but in the eyes of outsiders, Yang Xiong and Qin Chuan have always been brothers, and Yang Xiong also has a reputation of not forgetting poverty.

For Yang Xiong, after he sat in the position of guerrilla, his money and power were inflated a lot, and he also had more room to do things with grace, after he and Qin Chuan turned their faces, Qin Xiucai at that time did not have anything to do with him, except for not associating with him, and did not set off anything like a death match, Yang Xiong has been maintaining this face, anyway, it is a beneficial thing to do for it, New Year's gifts, and the care of Dachuan, which are all indispensable, not to mention what Qin Chuan thinks in his heart, Qin Xiucai is also a veteran figure on his face, so he naturally responds with a smile and is polite.

This time Qinchuan went to Taiyuan to catch the exam, Yang Xiong also sent someone to greet him in advance, although the Datong guerrillas could not do anything about the township test, but they could always arrange people to take care of it, and the students from other places came to the provincial capital, if they lived in an inn or rented a house, even if they were willing to spend money, there would be all kinds of troubles, it was a waste of spirit, and it would affect the state of the scientific examination.

"Who would have thought that less than six years after the death of Wang Gongxianggong, his sons and nephews would seek a guerrilla attack in Datong Town because of the border business, and in the past, Yang Xiong couldn't even enter the door of the Wang family." When Qin Chuan said this, he sneered and sighed again.

"Father-in-law, who is this Wang Gongxianggong?" Zhu Da asked, Qin Chuan nodded and began to explain, the topic changed too quickly, but Li He didn't react, and said in his heart that it was such a sad time why he suddenly began to tell allusions, and then realized that both sides were changing the topic, and some things didn't want to be said too thoroughly.

Qin Chuan mentioned several times that Wang Gongxiang Gong is Taiyuan Wang Qiong, Chenghua Jinshi, successively served in Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde and Jiajing four dynasties, from the Ministry of Industry to the Ministry of Household Books, Military Department Books and Officials Department Books, in addition to the young master and the crown prince and the title of the prince, posthumously presented to the Taishi, the nickname is Gongxiang, from the official title and nickname, is the pinnacle of Wenchen.

People who are familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty know that the four dynasties of Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde and Jiajing, the inner court and the outer courts, the general trend of the world is completely different, every time he dies and ascends the throne, it is a large-scale reshuffle and a dead person, how many people who are in power and opposition have retired or died in this change, Liu Jin of the inner court, Yang Tinghe of the outer dynasty, have been defeated, and this Wang Qiong is relatively peaceful in office and died well.

This Wang Qiong is good at dealing with people, whether it is loyal ministers and traitors, eunuchs and military generals, he can get along very well, and can change strategies according to different situations to achieve their goals, and secondly, he is capable and promising, and there are several great merits in his life. One of Wang Qiong's three sons is a hereditary Jinyi Wei Shi, and the two are hereditary Jinyi Wei Qianhu, which can be said to be rich and rich, and they are the top families in Taiyuan and Shanxi.

But as soon as Wang Qiong died, the children of the family did not advance in the imperial examination, and they were in the show, but there was no gain in the township examination, so they could only arrange to go to the country to supervise the study, but this is also the inferior of the imperial examination road, there is no imperial examination fame, only a hereditary title, this family quickly fell, and all parties did not buy it much, not to mention that Wang Qiong was friendly with all parties, including the ministers and traitors, and the border army was very deep, and the current officialdom Shilin is quite estranged, and no one cares about the old feelings to take care of anything, and the descendants of the Wang family are becoming more and more unhappy.

The Wang family was born in Wenchen, so he naturally understood the importance of the imperial examination, but his own children were not able to make up for it if they were not angry, so they were thinking about finding compensation from other ways, such as recruiting sons-in-law, so Yang Xiong asked the Wang family to take care of Qin Chuan, and the Wang family found that Qin Chuan was so young and promising, and he was widowed and unmarried, so he was naturally enthusiastic......
