Chapter 292: 10,000 dollars less for nothing
In a full time of incense, there are no less than 50 charges against Su Ren, and they are all conclusive, if these charges are confirmed, not to mention the ninth-class five doctors, even if the twentieth-rank liehou is killed, it still can't be counted.
The more I listened to the common things, the more I regretted it in my heart, and a few Cao rafters pouted themselves to give Su Ren a dismount. This is good, the next horse is there, and if you don't get it, you have to get in. Looking at those Cao rafters, they spit one by one, and they couldn't wait to chop Su Ren and eat them, and often lamented for the Cao rafters. Since Su Ren came to Chengdu, these Cao Rafter's lives have indeed been difficult, and they have been pressed by Su Ren for everything, and they can finally be released today.
"Mr. Su, what else do you have to say?" Qi Hu Cao looked at Su Ren viciously.
Su Ren slowly put down the teacup, looked at the common things, and smiled: "Taishou's tea is really not as good as my family's, I will ask someone to send some tomorrow, this tea is greasy to drink, we often eat meat and drink more." ”
"Su Ren!" Bing Cao shouted: "Today, you must give the people of Shu County an explanation, Hugh must avoid the important and light." ”
Su Ren still ignored Bing Cao, and continued to say to the common thing: "In addition to tea and wine, wine must be drunk less, drinking too much hurts the body, Taishou used tea to entertain everyone today, I feel relieved, tea is abundant in my Shu, if you can let people all over the world drink tea and drink less, not to mention how much money can be brought to my Shu County, the food saved by brewing every year is probably not a small amount." ”
"I think Taishou should report this matter to the court, the Empress Dowager's body is fake, if she can get the Empress Dowager's affirmation, it must be a great thing! Satrap? Satrap? ”
Su Ren shouted twice, and the usual thing came to his senses. He didn't understand that Su Ren completely ignored everyone's criticism, but talked about tea with himself. However, according to what Su Ren said, he could also get the attention of the imperial court, and he nodded hurriedly: "What the senior brother said is remembered by the brother!" ”
"Taishou, this Su Ren is stubborn, please Taishou order this person to be handed over to Cao for execution, and he will be severely interrogated, not afraid that he will not confess his guilt!" Qi Hucao shouted the loudest, and naturally took the most money from the Hu shopkeeper.
Su Ren gave a deep salute to the common things, and then turned to look at Qi Hu Cao. Qi Hu Cao couldn't help but take a step back, and Su Ren smiled: "Qi Hu Cao hates me so much?" ”
"You are wrong, I have no grievances with you, only for the people of Shu County!"
"Okay, since Qi Hu Cao is for the people of Shu County, then let's talk about it, let's talk about the first thing, Qi Hu Cao said that I deceived the merchants of Shu County, dare to ask you which one is not the result of mutual consultation, I did not use a knife to force Hu Shopkeeper to pay for them, let alone hit their house to coerce, it was they who came to my store and were willing to pay a high price to buy multicolored stones, is this a fraud?"
"You, you!" Qi Hucao was speechless for a while. Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly said: "You deliberately set up a bureau to make me think that the worthless multicolored stones are worth a fortune, isn't this fraud?" ”
"Set up a bureau? What's the game? If it weren't for your greed, even if I set up a bureau, how could you get in, not to mention that I didn't set up a bureau, do you remember the auction in Cuixiang Building, Shopkeeper Hu and Gongzi Han almost rolled up their sleeves and fought in order to get a multicolored stone, if I hadn't hurriedly dropped the gavel, I'm afraid that Shopkeeper Hu was willing to spend 100,000 yuan to buy that transparent multicolored stone, right? ”
Shopkeeper Hu didn't have anything to say, and Su Ren wouldn't give him a chance to speak, so he turned around and looked at Qi Hu Cao: "Qi Hu Cao, do you have evidence that you said I was cheating?" Although I am not an official, if someone frames me, then don't blame me for turning my face? ”
"Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that Qi Hu Cao, as Hu Cao, the monthly salary is only ten stones, Qi Hu Cao has served as Hu Cao in Shu County for six years, what was it like when he came? Everyone should remember that there was only one old slave in rags, and now what? There are 30 houses in the east of the city, 50 acres of fertile land outside the city, and there are no less than 100 slaves in the family. ”
"And you Bing Cao, I have also been a soldier for a few days, when it comes to the formation of county soldiers, you will push three and four, one says that there is no money in the county, and the other says that there is no soldier armor in the treasury, I come to ask you since Wen Taishou took office, every year the imperial court and subordinate government will allocate 100,000 yuan for the county soldiers, I have 30,000 soldiers in Shu County, and you don't need to worry about the food and salary, free lieutenant Cao Zhangluo, although my Shu County belongs to the border county, it has been peaceful for many years, dare to ask where the 100,000 money went?"
"I'll also do the math for you, Bing Cao is the same as Hu Cao, ten stones a month, you are from Shu County, you all know that some fields and properties all know that after serving as Bing Cao for ten years, your family's mansion has changed from the original three to the current fifty, the fields have changed from one to one hundred, and the family servants have become more than three hundred, and they have married ten concubines, raised a team of courtesans, and have a few years to Bing Cao's Yulu?"
Listening to Su Ren's words, those who were originally standing with Qi Hucao unconsciously took a step back.
"You are all the same, you keep saying this for the sake of the people of Shu County, touching your conscience! Where were you when I led people to guard the city of Chengdu? Where were you when you rebuilt the soldiers? Where were you when you destroyed the bandits? I, Su Ren, am not a good person, I admit this, but I didn't just do it for myself, I did half a year of market Peng, opened up a trade route to Qiangdi, and worked as a soldier for a few days to protect Chengdu from being broken by the rebels; I was a captain for a while, and I led people to destroy the surrounding mountain bandits, if any of you can say something to give yourself a long face, I won't say a word and return all the money surnamed Hu! ”
The lobby was quiet, and a single pin could be heard. Su Ren's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and anyone who inadvertently met Su Ren's eyes hurriedly lowered their heads.
"And the four of you! Seeing that the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce was booming, he immediately came up, and did not hesitate to harm everyone for his own interests, I was dismissed, do you think the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce is not good, okay! I didn't stop you from leaving, since you have the courage to go against the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, then wait for my revenge! To tell you the truth, this time I set up a game against you, and you jumped in like this, which only shows how stupid you are. ”
"The multicolored stone is really a stone, but it is not produced in the mine, but I made it, how many and how much, what shape and what shape, how big you want, how beautiful you want, how beautiful you want, the cost of these things is only two dollars, by the way, let me tell you one thing, this thing is useless at all, in addition to being fragile when it is furnished, you shopkeepers should be careful to keep it after they go home, if it is broken, even two dollars are gone!"
Su Ren stood up, saluted the common things, and glanced at everyone present: "My words are finished, if you want to die and the net is broken, I don't care, it depends on whether you are willing to give up all your wealth to fight with me, no need to send it, I will wait at home in Xishi, whoever wants to come, just come!" ”
When you come in, you hold your head high, and when you go out, you still hold your head high. Including ordinary things, everyone watched Su Ren swagger out of the mansion. Shopkeeper Hu wanted to cry a few times, but as soon as he showed a little sign, Qi Hucao on the side kicked him to the ground: "Come on, lock up these black-hearted guys!" ”
More than a dozen public servants rushed in, and they couldn't help but say that they would arrest the four businessmen and drag them out. Everything returned to its original calm, and everyone looked at Chang Shi, who sat there motionless, and the tea bowl in his hand did not move. It took a long time before he let out a long sigh and got up and walked back.
Chang Yuan followed Chang Shi one step behind him, not far or close, just right. Turning the corridor, Chang Shi suddenly asked, "What do you say Su Ren is doing?" ”
Chang Yuan didn't speak, and Chang Shi said: "In what he said today, I think a lot of it was said to me, especially that sentence, whoever wants to go against him has to give up all his wealth, this is a threat, right?" ”
Chang Yuan still didn't speak. Chang Shi glanced back at him, and Chang Yuan stood calmly: "You don't want to say it or don't you want to say it?" ”
Chang Yuan smiled: "The master already knows, why bother asking me." ”
Chang Shi also smiled, and then sighed: "This time we did a bit too much, for 50,000 yuan to offend Su Ren, if Su Ren doesn't leave, our days in Shu County will be over!" ”
"Su Ren will go to Chang'an after a while!" Chang Yuan suddenly said this.
Chang Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "People are gone, but the intention is still there, what is the difference between this and not leaving?" ”
When he got home, the sun had already set, Su Ren took off his robe to keep himself cool, and while fanning his fan, he asked Huang Shisan to find himself some herbal tea to quench his thirst. went to the government office, the anger was indeed very big, and the flies and dogs in Shu County wanted to tear off a piece of meat from themselves, could it be that they were easy to bully. After pouring two sips of herbal tea, the anger in his chest disappeared some.
Huo Laosi came in, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. looked at Su Ren and smiled: "Brother Ren is still angry?" Now that we have gained a firm foothold in Chengdu, don't talk about common things, even Wen Taishou can't easily do anything to us, don't worry, I will be optimistic about this stall with Shopkeeper Cui. ”
Su Ren nodded: "I'm not worried about this, I'm just angry, what are a group of vampires saying in front of me for the people of Shu County, do you say it's ridiculous?" ”
Teacher Huo nodded again and again: "That's it, without Brother Ren, how can we have such a good life, maybe we will still sell illicit salt in warm water!" was molested by a lover, and he didn't dare to say a word. ”
"Hahaha......" Su Ren laughed: "You can't rely on me for this matter, it's all done coldly!" ”
The jokes are relaxing. Su Ren's mood was much better, and he drank the herbal tea in a few sips in a row, and looked at the bamboo slip in Huo Laosi's hand: "What is this?" ”
Huo Laosi hurriedly held it to Su Ren: "It's the account book, it looks like it's about to be the beginning of the month, and the money for those officials is being prepared." ”
"Oh! How many? ”
"There are about fifty or sixty thousand in the end, and the most is guarded, 20,000 per month!"
"20,000, this common thing is really not a thing, Lao Tzu gives him 20,000 every month, he still wants, starting from next month, the money for common things will be halved!"
Huo Laosi frowned: "Brother Ren......!" ”
"Listen to me, halved!"
"No!" Huo Laosi sighed and nodded.
