Chapter Ninety-Seven: Father and Son Covet
Chen Huatao finally understood Chen Chang's bitter advice at that time, and if he provoked an outlaw like Dahei, his family would be ruined if he didn't pay attention to it.
"Da Hei, I really don't have any money, because I wrote the wrong official document, and I wrote the 10,000 stone tax and grain as 100,000 stones, and I went bankrupt." Chen Huatao spoke out about his difficulties.
Da Hei also heard Chen Huatao's joke in the city, so he didn't say much, searched Chen Huatao's body and took more than 100 taels of silver.
He searched the study and other places again, and found that there was nothing of value.
"Chen Huatao, I have been living in Yixiangyuan, if there is anything you can find me." Da Hei said with a cold face. "You give me another thousand taels of silver in two days, so many brothers follow me, I can't let my brothers be wronged."
"Ahh Chen Huatao trembled with fright. "Big Black, where am I going to get so much money now?"
Da Hei looked at Chen Huatao coldly: "I can't take care of this, otherwise we will die together." β
"I'll figure it out again." Chen Huatao gritted his teeth and said.
"And my brothers in the cell, you have to take care of them." The Great Underworld.
Tao Ke took the bandit back to the county seat, registered it in the case and wrote a note, and handed the thief over to the yamen's cell.
"You can feed them, and there's nothing else you can do." Chen Huatao shook his head. "Dahei, you go quickly, don't let others see you coming to me. If there's any news, I'll have someone go to you. β
Da Hei walked outside and said, "Lord Chen, I want a thousand taels of silver in three days." β
Chen Zhichong saw Da Hei leave and also entered the house. "Dad, what are you looking for in the dark?"
"Alas, we're in trouble." Chen Huatao told the intention of the big black.
Chen Zhichong's eyes showed a fierce light: "Dad, why don't I let Ma Wei take some people to Yixiang Courtyard and kill them?" β
"Hmph, there are more than 30 people over there, do you think it's so easy to kill? And we want to use Da Hei to kill Song Hua and Song Wenjian, he is still our pawn. Chen Huatao was excited. Chi Chong, this is a good opportunity for us. Especially as soon as Song Hua dies, I will be able to become a county magistrate, and Song Wenjian will die a miserable death without Song Hua's support. β
Chen Zhichong said worriedly: "But Da Hei said that he would ask for a thousand taels of silver within three days, where can we find it?" β
Now the Chen family is too poor to be poor, and they still owe a lot of debts.
"Alas, I'll go to Mo Dazhi and ask him to give me a thousand taels of silver, otherwise he'll be finished." Chen Huatao's voice was cold.
"Dad, how could Mo Dazhi give you a thousand taels of silver?" Chen Zhichong was taken aback.
"Hmph, Mo Dazhi has a handle in my hand, if he wants to get the handle back, he has to give me a thousand taels of silver." Chen Huatao smiled wickedly: "Unless he wants to go to jail." β
Chen Zhichong was also excited: "Dad, why don't you let Mo Dazhi ask Mo Xintong to sleep with me for one night?" I've been to her so many times that I haven't even touched my fingers. β
Chen Zhichong deliberately ruined Mo Xintong's reputation and wanted the Song family to take Mo Xintong off, but he couldn't get his way.
"Zhichong, we have a big matter, what is a woman, let's ask for a thousand taels of silver first. As long as Song Hua and Song Wenjian are dead, won't Mo Xintong still belong to us? Chen Huatao thought of Mo Xintong, who was as beautiful as a flower, and couldn't help but be moved.
"Ours?" Chen Zhichong heard that there was something wrong with his father's words.
Chen Huatao's old face turned red, and he said, "You now ask someone to prepare a sedan chair, and I will go to Mo Dazhi's house." β
Since experiencing the incident, Chen Huatao has a shadow of riding in a carriage and has changed to a sedan chair.
Mo Dazhi's family was about to have lunch, and the porter ran over to say that Chen Huatao had something to meet, and asked the porter to take Chen Huatao to the study.
"Chen Dianshi, you came to me at this time, I don't know what happened?" Mo Dazhi is an official from the eighth grade, and his position is higher than Chen Huatao's ninth grade.
This is the characteristic of the Moon Dynasty, everything is inferior, only the reading is high, and the position of civil officials is relatively higher than that of military attachΓ©s.
However, although Mo Dazhi has a high official position, he does not have real power like Chen Huatao, and he has a lot of oil and water.
Chen Huatao and Song Hua fought for the law, Mo Dazhi also knew a little about it, Song Hua was his in-laws, of course he was on Song Hua's side.
"Hmph, Mo Dazhi, don't you be high, have you forgotten that in the children's audit exam the year before last, you were greedy for ink?" Chen Huatao looked at Mo Dazhi coldly.
Not all students are children, so they have to go to the county to take the child audit exam.
Generally speaking, it is not very bad, and you can pass the assessment, which is just a small test.
But there are also some people who have bad brains, and they can't become children after a few years of exams, so they find a way to get into a relationship.
The year before last, Mo Dazhi was greedy for some gentry's money, and released water to their son to let him pass the examination.
If you can't pass the Tongsheng exam, you are not a real reader.
Only children can participate in the college examination and have the opportunity to be admitted to Xiucai.
got the fame of Xiucai, and since then he has gotten rid of the identity of a commoner, and he is also an intellectual, as well as some privileges. For example, you can be exempted from conscription, and you can not kneel when you see the prefectural order.
Mo Dazhi thought that this matter was done unknowingly, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Chen Huatao.
At that time, Mo Dazhi was frightened, and hurriedly asked his wife to go to Chen Huatao's wife to dredge up the relationship and ask him not to report it.
At that time, Chen Huatao wanted to blackmail Mo Dazhi to write about the process of greedy ink, and then did not mention this matter again.
Hearing Chen Huatao talk about that today, Mo Dazhi trembled with fright. "Chen Huatao, what do you want to do? Didn't you accept my gift last year and say you wouldn't talk about it again? β
"Hehe, Mo Dazhi, I've been a little short of money lately, you give me a thousand taels of silver in three days, and I'll give you back the confession you wrote before. Otherwise, I'll give the confession to the prefectural magistrate. Chen Huatao threatened.
When Chen Huatao was raising money, he didn't come to Mo Dazhi to ask for money.
He knew that this kind of handle could only be used once, and it could only be used when it was critical.
Chen Huatao was desperate, and he had no way to raise a thousand taels of silver.
"What? A thousand taels of silver? I don't have that much. Mo Dazhi screamed.
"If not, then you can wait for the end of the jail sentence." Chen Huatao sneered and walked outside.
Mo Dazhi angrily smashed his favorite porcelain on the ground, so frightened that Mrs. Mo ran over.
"Master, what's going on?" Mrs. Mo was distressed and picked up the broken porcelain pieces all over the floor. This porcelain cost a few taels of silver, and it has always been the meat of the master's heart.
"Chen Huatao deceived people too much, he used the matter of the children's examination the year before last to blackmail me, and asked me to give him a thousand taels of silver." Mo Dazhi said angrily.
"Ah, how can our family have been for so many years." Mrs. Mo exclaimed in surprise.
Mo Dazhi said: "If you don't give him a thousand taels of silver within three days, he will denounce me and put me in prison." β
"Ah, sir, how is this good?" Mrs. Mo was scared.
PS: There have been people sneering in book reviews these days, so let me say a few words here. 1. Gentlemen refer to the children of wealthy officials, not necessarily disciples who do not do evil. Second, some people say that Song Hua is just a county official, and the protagonist is not a big man. In fact, this is only temporary, and this article is to write about the efforts of the protagonist to make himself a powerful gentleman. 3. As for how much grain can be produced per mu, it can be made more than twice, and chemical fertilizers can also be used, and it should not be difficult for an acre to produce ten stones a year. Fourth, there is nothing strange about others calling the protagonist a second fool. The protagonist's father was persecuted by the Chen family, and everyone thought that he would fall a month later. The protagonist was a fool before and would definitely be bullied by others. In addition, the maid hates the protagonist, that is the previous stupid protagonist who did a lot of bad things, and even stole the lady's dirty clothes, etc., can she not hate? The Song family is about to fall, and the maid doesn't care about the people who offend the Song family. Fifth, the "one" and "ten" things are my omission. At that time, I thought about modifying it, adding a "pickup" after "one", but I thought about it again, this is the moon dynasty of the parallel world, one is one, as long as the meaning is clear, there is no need to modify it to affect the reader's reading. Thank you all for your support.
