The rain gradually subsided, but the thunder and lightning did not abate at all. Lightning fell, illuminating every corner of the Yang family.

Chen Xizhang drank tea in the study, anxiously waiting for the news of the rescue, and asked Fan from time to time where he was going; In the mourning hall, several corpses wrapped in white cloth were parked on the door panel, a group of women gathered around the dead corpses and wailed bitterly, and the remaining men and women of the Yang family were panicked and at a loss, looking for the Song family from ear to ear; More than a dozen male bodyguards guarded the door of the barn with sticks, and in the temporarily vacated barn, dozens of servants tied each other's hands and feet, and their spirits were decaying, and they were also looking outside, waiting for the magistrate to give a verdict; Wen was comforted by Kou'er, but he was no longer afraid, but he also knew that he needed his second sister-in-law to preside over the overall situation, but he couldn't find anyone, so he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely; Yang Shida shouted for his wife in the bedroom, but only a few old servants were trembling and bringing him tea, and they were also looking for Song...... When you are so busy, how can you leave the second grandmother?

The lightning fell in the remote courtyard, and two overlapping human figures were reflected on the window paper, if Yang Shida was in person, he could recognize at a glance that this was the fire across the mountain that he had always wanted to experiment with his wife, but unfortunately his wife insisted on refusing.

After a thunderclap, the tiles on the eaves of the study were shattered and fell to the ground with a crackling sound. The man's voice in the room was intermittent, intermittent with thunder, echoing through the room.

"Use this money to buy land and build a house...... They will build the houses of the big families themselves, but the people who have bought their land, they must have a place to live. Also, more people will come in the future, where are they going to live? These are the things we need to address. ”

The woman's voice was a little weak in comparison, like a small beast wailing.

"There really will be ...... There will be ...... So many people come to buy a house? ”

Syllable!

It seems that the man slapped the woman, "The master's order, the girl just needs to carry it out, how can there be so many problems!" The man's anger was evidently great, and several successive slaps sounded with the woman's screams, and after a long while, the man said:

"Stupid! When I say that someone comes to buy a house, naturally someone comes to buy it. In the past, Jiangning and Shangyuan County were separated by a river, living in the same city, and there was no big difference. It is the same for ordinary people to live in Shangyuan and Jiangning, and it is the same for the gentry and wealthy households. But from today on, the two county towns are in the hearts of the people, it is one day and one place, and I am the sky...... Jiangning is the earth, just like you and me now. The gentry and wealthy families in Jiangning will not die in the slavery mutiny, and some of the remaining rich people will not be able to leave, but some will be afraid, will move, and will leave. What the wealthy need most is order, and only when order exists can their property be secured. This kind of order Jiang Ning can't give, I can, so they will naturally come to Shangyuan. These people are rich, and of course they come to buy land and build houses. At this time, buying land is a matter of land appreciation. I'm not the only one who can see this business opportunity, but it's too late, I'll get you a contract in advance, and the money will be owed first. Anyway...... I'm not afraid that you'll run away. ”

The applause rose again, and the woman's screams were louder, and even the thunder could not be suppressed.

"This land is the first big business of the Yang family after you are at the helm, with my official to support you, you don't have to be afraid of anything, just wait to get rich." You can bring them wealth, you can give them hope, and no one will question you and shake your position as the head of the house. This official guarantees that within the next year, you will be the most successful businesswoman in Jiangning City, and you will also be guaranteed to have face! No one will know that you are my girl, of course, this is based on your obedience. If you dare to betray me, it will be like this! ”

An earth-shattering thunderclap rang out, accompanied by an irrepressible cry from the woman, who was apparently warned, aware of the terrible consequences of the betrayal, and was close to pleading.

There was an angry knock on the door, and the soft Song screamed, wanting to push Fan Jin away, but he was held down, "It's okay!" I'm the biggest here now, and even if I'm seen, it doesn't matter. ”

He shouted out the door again: "It is very rude and dangerous to disturb a man to do such a thing, believe it or not, I pulled you in and did it together!" ”

The door was pushed open, Pan Qiong stepped in, looked at the two of them defiantly, and straightened her chest again, with a great taste: Come on, come on. Then he smiled at Fan Jin: "Master...... Chen Shaofu is in a hurry, you can't delay here for too long. As for this old woman, it's not too late to pamper her at night. The apprentice has never had a man yet, so naturally I don't know what it's like for you men to be interrupted, why don't I go back and ask Lin Fang and see what she says? ”

Even in the face of her husband, Song has many requirements. For example, it must be smoked, there must be no pungent smell such as wine and garlic, and there must be no aroma of other women, and there will never be soft words and begging like now. Besides, the body of the father-in-law is still parked at the moment, the Dharma is not finished, there has been a slavery mutiny, and several relatives have died in the family, no matter how you look at it, it is not the time to do this.

But in the face of her husband, she can refuse, and in the face of the master's request, she can only choose to obey. When the men and maids in the family have fun, they also follow their own hearts, and they don't care about the maids' feelings. As for being broken by someone, what else can a maid say? When she broke her husband and the maid to do this, she would beat the maid all over her body and cry wolf, this little girl is quite polite in comparison.

The Song family had also thought about something to happen with this young and handsome county magistrate, but it was definitely not in this posture at the moment, let alone at this time. Her husband was still in the hospital bed, but she was already in the possession of another man, and everything at this time should be considered a kind of torture for her.

In terms of his temperament, he should have been in pain, and even all thoughts were lost. But at this time, the feeling in her heart was not sadness, but an inexplicable satisfaction and even expectation, as if all this should have happened a long time ago, and now it has been a failure to live up to countless times to this point.

Is this what is in your own nature? When you meet a really strong man, you are willing to be his slave and maid and be at his mercy? And even the more you are at the mercy, the more happy you are? Although there is no mirror in the room, I can imagine that I must be flushed, and the best rouge in the world can't make up the beautiful color at this time.

She looked at Pan Qiong, suddenly smiled, stood up generously, let her look at her plump and snow-white body, and blew into Fan Jin's ear and said: "The little girl is right, you can't have fun here, tonight the slave and maid will use means to ensure that the master will be like a fairy." Now do we have to go out and act in front of Chen Shaofu? Little girl, if you want to know anything about men, ask me, and I will teach you. ”

As she spoke, she began to get dressed, looking at the heavy filial piety on her body, her heart was sour: Ah Weng, I'm sorry. When you get to the underworld, your daughter-in-law will make amends to you, but I'm ...... There is no other way out.

Fan Jin said with a smile: "I believe in Jin'er's means, sing well, the trick is done, I will protect you for fame and fortune." ”

"Isn't it a man's fortune?"

The Song family is not a buckle after all, and it is even more difficult for her to be a little girl with low eyebrows and obedient behavior. It's one thing to think in her heart, in front of Pan Qiong, she wants to keep her face and status, and in front of Fan Jin, she has to maintain her charm. After wearing filial piety clothes, he couldn't help but use words to tease Fan Jin, obviously it was a confrontation, but it was a little flattering. Especially for the two who have just met closely, this gesture is even more charming.

"Little fox, you stopped before I finished this, and now you're here to tease me again, believe it or not, I'm not going anywhere at all, just talk about it when I'm comfortable first!" Fan Jin's slap slapped her again, and Song smiled and took Fan Jin's arm, "As the favored slave of the head of the family, isn't it just that demonic energy?" Little girl, are you right? ”

Pan Qiong snorted, came to Fan Jin's side, and called out glutinously: "Master...... You just said you were going to do it? I don't know how to do it, when to teach the disciples. ”

"Don't be naughty! Go out to see Chen Shaofu first, don't show your face, remember to call your people as witnesses. ”

When the Song family, dressed in filial piety, appeared in front of Chen Xizhang, the charm had disappeared, and his face was full of sadness, which was in line with the appearance of a filial woman and a bitter master, and he couldn't see that he had just come to a meeting of the goddess Xiangwang. Chen Xizhang and the Song family also knew each other before, and they were nodding friends with each other, and after greeting each other for a word or two, the Song family followed Fan Jin's instructions and accused Feng Bangning of forcibly buying the Yang family's Su wood and ivory without teeth.

Chen Xizhang naturally doesn't believe a word of this accusation, he has also been a magistrate for many years, and he is no stranger to private trade. The Yang family itself was not specifically responsible for the trade with the Yi merchants, and doing business with the Siamese envoys was originally to play side games and eat relational meals. The ivory itself that is exchanged for silk cannot be turned into money, although Jiangning is the capital, but the ivory market with such a large number cannot be digested, and the only one who really has the ability to win these goods is Feng Bangning.

And people like Feng Bangning do business, and they still need to go through the tooth shop? This is simply a big joke, he is willing to pay for things and his conscience has already found out, how can he be expected to go through the official procedures. Now to sue him about this, it is simply nothing to look for, it seems that the Yang family has found Fan Jin as a backer, and will do everything to charge for this backer.

Look at the Song family, and then look at Fan Jin, it is a little suspicious that the Yang family paid for the dock. But in the final analysis, this kind of thing has little to do with Chen Xizhang, and at the moment, he can't afford to trouble Fan Jin for the problem of life style. It's just that since this lawsuit is going to be fought, the process that should be followed must always be followed, he hesitated and asked: "Since it is a lawsuit, I don't know if the Yang family has witnesses?" ”

"Witnesses are naturally there, wait for the Shaofu, and the witnesses will arrive soon."

Fan Jin walked out for a short time, and brought a tall and strong man into the room, like an iron tower. The person who came saluted Chen Xizhang and said in fluent official words:

"Siamese Governor Ryan Stein gave a salute to Master Chen. I can serve as a witness to prove that our transaction with the Yang family was completed entirely within the legal contract of your country, and there was no violation of it, and if the Yang family needs it, we can send a letter to the Ministry of Rites of your country to explain the specific process of this transaction, and support the legitimate businessmen of the Yang family. ”

Looking at this big man named Ryanstein, Fan Jin nodded with satisfaction, his official speech was fluent enough, and his demeanor was humble enough, in line with the identity of a tribute envoy. Although there are flaws, as long as they are not deliberately looking for trouble, they are generally more than enough to perfunctory the past.

Although Pan Qiong is the nominal person in charge of this operation, it is Reinstein who really controls the troops. This tall, strong Tessie man is said to be a nobleman who always called himself an earl, but the count apparently did not live as well as he wanted, and he and his men were reduced to the point of becoming mercenaries and exchanging their martial arts for money.

He himself was employed by the Spanish governor of Luzon to crusade against Lin Haishan and her men. However, Spain has always had a habit of arrears of wages, and it is still in arrears to the regular army, let alone mercenaries. Relatively speaking, Lin Haishan not only paid real money, but also offered a much higher price than Spain, regarded honor and loyalty as his life, and Count Ryanstein, who can be called a model of mercenary morality, became the stormtrooper captain of Lin's fleet.

There are a large number of Franco-robots and Orientals in the Lin fleet, which can be called a multinational pirate joint force at sea, and Ryan Stein can sit firmly in this kind of team in the Lin family, and his own skills are naturally not weak. In addition to excellent military skills, the ability to deal with people is not bad, this time it was the Siamese who traded as envoys, the Spanish pirates hid behind, and it was Reinstein who served as a messenger to deal with the government, and Pan Qiong did not show up. The Yang family's lawsuit is to be fought, and it is indispensable for Reinstein, a representative of the Yi people, to mediate.

It is one thing for a simple businessman to sue Feng Bangning, and it is another thing to involve Yiren tribute envoys. If a commercial trade rises to the level of diplomatic relations between the two countries, it may involve the Ministry of Rites, and even if the local government wants to help Feng Bangning, it has to consider whether it is worth it. Of course, Chen Xizhang was afraid of Feng Bao, but he was also afraid of getting into trouble with the tribute envoys. If the good situation of the Ming monarch and the virtuous minister of all countries coming to the dynasty is destroyed by a mansion, and the reason for the destruction is to maintain the nephew of a eunuch, then his career will almost come to an end.

Seeing that Fan Jin had brought all the affairs of Yiren to stand on the platform for the Song family, Chen Xizhang became more and more suspicious of the relationship between the two, and the more so, the more he dared not take sides. The silver that was originally stored in the Yang family is now afraid that it is not easy to take it. At this moment, a public official from Shangyuan County walked in to report that Feng Bangning had been brought to the county yamen.

When Chen Xizhang heard the news, he was finally relieved, as long as Feng Dashao was fine, his black yarn would be at no risk. Fan Jin had already asked at this time: "Shaofu, Feng Gongzi has been brought, is this person for you to try or for the next official?" ”

"I thought about it and laughed, since the ticket was issued by you, it is naturally you who will judge it, how can this official overstep his authority? It's up to you.
