"Is this really his own design?" As soon as Zhang Zhou's family was welcomed into the Zhang Mansion in Dinghai, and after greeting the people of the Zhang family, he entered the study and asked Zhang Shanlu and Shen Yue's plan. "This matter is very important to the entire Zhang family, and there is no room for mistakes. Your third uncle can't pull away, and the old man came back in person, just for this matter. ”

Zhang Qiaoer, who delivered tea, also failed to stay in the study.

"Third aunt, what is said in the letter is all the truth." Zhang Shanlu also knew the importance of this matter to the Zhang family.

replied respectfully, and then explained the whole matter in detail.

Zhang Zhou heard that the Zhang and Shen families had enmity, and it was still that kind of hatred that could not be resolved, and their brows were tightly furrowed.

"Since our two families have enmity, why does the Shen family still cooperate with the Zhang family, not only to send silver, but also to help your third uncle with advice? What's the picture? Zhang Zhoushi pointed out the problem to the point. Such a lucrative business, giving half of the shares, and refusing to give more money is unreasonable. ”

I was far away in Beijing before, and I didn't know about Dinghai County.

Now that he is here, Zhang Shanlu introduced it in detail, which made the old lady even more confused and had too many doubts.

Zhang Shanlu smiled bitterly, "Third aunt, the little nephew has never been able to figure it out. Qiao'er was even more confused. His rhetoric is not convincing enough. ”

Shen Yue's previous rhetoric was to make amends, even if he made amends, it would not be like this.

If it is the background, Dinghai County is close to Nanzhili, and the relationship between the wealthy families is intertwined, which is far from being comparable to the Zhang family that has risen in recent decades.

"What did he do after you talked?" The wrinkles on Zhang Zhou's face were squeezed together.

After leaving, he went back to Longshan, and the next morning he went to sea, never returning. He went to sea as a war ship of Longshan, and the people of the Shen family and the people left behind by Longshan also did not know his whereabouts...... Xu Yaozong, a thousand households in Longshan, had a very personal relationship with Shen Defu, and the Shen family went to Longshan, which was arranged by Xu Yaozong, and Shen Yue became a ...... of 100 households as soon as he arrived at Longshan.

These situations are not difficult to inquire about.

Zhang Shanlu was confused by Shen Yue, and he was afraid that Shen Yue would set a trap for him to drill, which would harm the entire Zhang family.

Today's Zhang family can't afford any mistakes.

"The hatred between the Zhang and Shen families is really caused by Shen Yue's bullying of Qiao'er? If this is all there is, how can the Zhang family be willing to compensate 100,000 taels? "Zhang Zhoushi doesn't understand." Supervising the imperial history Zhao Bingliang to impeach your third uncle, the most important one is to seize the Zhang family's 3,000 acres of land. The emperor appointed Luo Cheng to go to Dinghai County today. ”

The old lady simply turned the conversation to the two origins of hatred.

There are rumors outside, and what I finally hear is too far from the truth.

The imperial history of the Qin mission set off ahead of Zhang Zhou's, and the elderly lady hurried despite physical fatigue, and finally arrived at Dinghai half a day early.

If you don't understand it thoroughly, how can you deal with it?

Hearing this, Zhang Shanlu's face became more bitter, and in front of the powerful third aunt, he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest.

The matter is related to the entire Zhang family.

Zhang Peiju fell, and the entire Zhang family was finished.

"Third aunt, there is another secret in this matter. The Shen family's 100,000 taels of silver, Qiao'er just coincided with it. These 100,000 taels are the ...... Shen Defu purchased our fleet."

"It's not because Qiao'er was bullied, you used your third uncle's power in the court to oppress people?" Zhang Zhou was a little unconvinced.

"The third uncle gave up the fleet early...... The sea trade is controlled by various wealthy families, and it is not easy for the Shen family to intervene...... The imperial court kept raising taxes and salaries in Jiangnan, and the Shen family had no backstage, and the 3,000 acres of land were constantly paid and paid, and they had long been unable to make ends meet...... Our family needs to ...... again" Zhang Shanlu explained the cause and effect of the whole thing. "If it weren't for that, the Shen family wouldn't agree to give us the title deed. In order to hide the truth and not leave a handle, Qin Yulian, the wife of the Shen family, arranged for Zhang Luo to sell the land according to the previous discussion. The third uncle is here, who in the family around Ningbo Mansion dares to intercept Hu and our family? It's just that Sun Desheng of Dinghai Zhixian County arrested Mrs. Shen is something we didn't expect......"

Zhang and Shen have a feud between the two families on the surface, or an enmity for destroying the family and seizing property, what the truth is, only the people in charge of the two families are clear.

When Zhang Zhou heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

On the way to these days, I kept imagining, assuming that the Zhang family seized the land.

I never thought that the inside story would be like this, which is completely different from the rumors, and even has nothing to do with it.

The Shen family wants to enter the sea trade monopolized by the wealthy families, and the Zhang family wants to make a move on the sea trade, and the two sides naturally hit it off.

A fleet is far more than 100,000 taels of snowflake silver, but the Shen family has taken a big advantage.

The imperial court forbade the sea, such a transaction, since it was impossible to be blatant, just met Shen Yue insulted Zhang Qiaoer, and used this as an excuse to extort 100,000 taels from the Shen family, although it is a bit far-fetched, at least it will not let people seize the handle in the matter of sea trade.

It's just that no one thought that acting like this would give Zhang Peiju a huge opportunity.

The only headache is how to use this deal as a reason to fight back.

Zhang Bingliang impeached Zhang Peiju and had one more article: go to sea to trade privately and collude with pirates!

If the Zhang family has a fleet of ships if it is said, wouldn't it be an admission of it?

"So, the Shen family kid knows the inside story?" It took Zhang Zhou a while to digest the whole thing, thinking about how to use it.

Zhang Shanlu shook his head, "He doesn't know." ”

"Unknowingly cooperating with the enemy?" Zhang Zhou was shocked.

The boy of the Shen family is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and even knows how to forbear more than those old foxes in the court!

"If it is placed in troubled times, this son is definitely a generation of heroes!" Because of Shen Yue's performance, Zhang Shanlu sent more people to investigate everything about Shen Yue.

"Shen Defu went to sea and didn't return, does it have anything to do with our family?" Zhang Zhou sighed, but it was a pity that the descendants of the Zhang family did not have this calculation.

She didn't tell Zhang Shanlu that it was a troubled time now.

Daming rivers and mountains are full of beacons.

"No, our family still has half of the shares in the fleet, and most of the money for the purchase of goods is from our family. The nephew is currently investigating the matter. Zhang Peiju shook his head.

The fleet did not return, and the loss of the Zhang family was not small.

Purchasing goods, Zhang Luo going to sea and other things, the Zhang family did not make a lot of efforts, in order not to fall into the hands of others, the Zhang family did not cooperate with others, and the matter of sea trade was very hidden.

Otherwise, Mrs. Zhang would have been overturned in the middle of the court.

"It's not a big deal. The imperial court sent to investigate the Zhang family's seizure of people's property and going to sea without permission, and colluding with the bandits, all of which had to rely on the help of the Shen family......" Zhang Zhou took several deep breaths before he said quietly. "Zhao Liangbing's impeachment of your third uncle must know something, and it is not yet known who is standing behind him."

All along, the Zhang family has never been so passive.

"The third aunt doesn't need to worry about this. Wujiawan's fleet, the last 2,000-material ship was also given to Shen Yue, and the shipbuilding workshop over there had been burned to the ground, and all the shipyard craftsmen were properly arranged! Zhang Shanlu said calmly.
