Chapter Ninety-Six: The Great Black Appears
Zheng Sike angrily pushed Ai Jisi away, "You go with me to talk to the master." ”
Song Hua listened to what Ai Jisi said, and he didn't know what to do. How can you sue if there is no evidence?
Song Hua is an expert in managing official affairs, but he is not good at power struggle.
"This sent someone to talk to Wen Jian and ask him what to do." Song Hua thought for a while.
"Okay, I'll write a letter to the young master." Zheng Sike ran to grind the ink.
In the courtyard of the Chen family, Chen Zhichong excitedly told Chen Huatao about beating Ai Jisi last night.
Chen Huatao frowned secretly: "Zhichong, now the Chen family is different from before, don't make trouble outside." Thankfully, no one saw you do it this time, otherwise you'd be in trouble. ”
Today, unlike in the past, Chen Huatao has raised enough 90,000 stone of money and grain to hand in, but he not only sold all his family property, but also owed a lot of money and grain.
With his current situation, it will take at least three years to pay it off.
Now Chen Huatao does not have his own house, so he can only live in this courtyard given by the yamen.
If you don't have money, you can't make the ghost grind, and the helpers you invited before waited for them, and when they saw that Chen Huatao was unable to pay the wages, they left one after another.
The officials in the yamen saw that Chen Huatao was not in power, and they did not be as attentive as before.
It takes a long time to gain momentum, but it is very quick to lose power. In the past, he covered the sky with only one hand in Suixi County, but now he may not be able to cover his courtyard with both hands.
Especially the person who has offended him before, and he is also ready to deal with him.
"Dad, I'm just a villain like Angry Aijis, who used to slap your sycophants, but now I actually let you eat." Chen Zhichong scolded angrily.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news of Chen Huatao eating still spread, and Chen Zhichong was very angry when he heard it.
"I, I didn't eat." Chen Huatao said weakly.
When he went to Hengshan Township, he still had horse feces on his body, how could he hide it from a clear-eyed person.
"Dad, the kitchen said that you didn't give them any money to buy vegetables yesterday, and you can only eat vegetables today. There are also servants who say that they have not been paid last month's wages and that they want wages. Chen Zhichong said.
Chen Huatao frowned sadly when he heard this, how could he have any money now, and he only had more than 100 taels of silver on his body.
In the past, if he still had farmland and shops, he would have a lot of income every month. Now that it's all gone, why is his hand so cheap, and he writes 10,000 stones into 100,000 stones, which is fatal.
"Zhichong, you can quit two-thirds of our family's servant workers tomorrow and leave a few people." Chen Huatao said helplessly.
"Dad, if we don't have the money and we don't pay them, what else can they do?" Chen Zhichong said disapprovingly.
Chen Huatao scolded: "You are confused, even if we don't give money to the servants, we have to give them food." With so many people, how much vegetables and rice do you have to buy? ”
Chen Zhichong shrugged his head and said, "Dad, I know, I'll let two-thirds of the people leave now." Alas, Da Hei is really useless, they can't kill Song Wenjian. ”
"I heard that Da Hei escaped with more than 30 bandits, and it is estimated that they also hate Song Wenjian to the bone, but unfortunately there are too few of them, and it is not easy to kill Song Wenjian." Chen Huatao sighed.
A servant came over: "My lord, there is a man outside who said to be looking for you." ”
"Someone looking for me?" Chen Huatao was strange. "Tell him to come in."
After Song Huaxiong got up during this time, not many people from Chen Huatao's side came to visit him, and there were many people.
When Chen Huatao saw the comer, his face changed abruptly. "You, you ......"
"Lord Chen, I have something important to report to you, should we go inside and talk about it?" The man smirked.
"Okay, let's go inside." Chen Huatao hurriedly took the visitor and Chen Zhichong inside.
Although someone came dressed up, Chen Huatao still vaguely recognized this person as Da Hei.
Da Hei is so bold, the whole Suixi is talking about him, and he actually came to the county seat.
Entering the bookstore, Chen Huatao said to Chen Zhichong: "Zhichong, you are watching outside, don't let people approach, I'll talk to Da Hei about something." ”
"Yes, Dad." Chen Zhichong walked out in fear.
If someone sees Da Hei in their house, then their Song family is going to be finished, which is the crime of fornication fugitives.
Seeing the nervous appearance of Chen Huatao's father and son, Da Hei couldn't help but smile and said: "Lord Chen, don't worry, not many people recognize my appearance, and I have already disguised myself, and others don't know that I am Da Hei." ”
"But you shouldn't come to my house, if you have anything, you can send someone to find me secretly." Chen Huatao said worriedly. "You'd better get out of the county seat quickly."
Da Hei shook his head and said, "Lord Chen, don't you understand that the most dangerous place is the safest place?" Others thought I was absconding in fear of crime, but who knew that I was happy in the county. ”
"There are so many of you, why can't you kill Song Wenjian?" This is what Chen Huatao wants to know the most.
"Damn, we fell for Song Wenjian's tricks, otherwise we will kill him early in the morning." Big Black screamed.
Chen Huatao's heart moved, and he said gloomily: "Song Hua is not far in front of our house, otherwise you will rush in and kill him at night?" ”
"Nope." Da Hei shook his head. "I checked, Song Hua is the second-ranked official in Suixi County, and the place where he lives is closest to the Yamen, Wu Guanhai and a few of his subordinates have been following Song Hua closely, and they all live in Song's house at night. If we don't make a move, the trappers in the yamen will come out and surround us. In the past few days, Tiedao has not gone out to handle the case, and we dare not take this risk. ”
The martial arts of the Iron Knife are well-known in Suixi, and Da Hei knows that if he encounters the Iron Knife, he will have no chance to escape.
"Then you continue to wait for the opportunity, and when the iron knife goes out to the county to handle the case, you will do it again." Hope appeared in Chen Huatao's eyes.
He has nothing now, and if he doesn't bring down Song Hua, the other officials won't listen to him obediently.
"Well, that's what I thought, too. It is impossible for Tiedao to stay in the county seat all the time and not go out to handle cases in other places, and it is impossible for Song Wenjian not to go home. "There is a strong killing intent coming out of Da Hei's body." I will surely kill their father and son to avenge the death of my brother. ”
"Okay, I'll definitely support you." Chen Huatao clapped his hands.
As long as Song Hua's father and son die, he will gain power again in Suixi County. After all, Li Rujun is not a local, and he will not be an official in Suixi for too long.
"Hey, hey, Master Chen, that's what I've been waiting for from you." The big black traitor smiled and said, "You give me a thousand taels of silver first." ”
"What? How can I have so much money. Chen Huatao took two steps back in surprise.
"Hmph, our brothers have killed so many people in order to help you kill Song Wenjian, shouldn't you give money to appease us?" Da Hei's face changed. "Chen Huatao, don't make us angry, otherwise we will tell you about colluding with us, and then you will be dismissed and investigated and imprisoned."
