Chapter 6 Too much deception
Liu Zheng knelt in the ancestral hall for most of the night, and after getting up the next day, he was about to accompany his father to the yamen after breakfast, but before he could go out, he saw the old man enter the door with an anxious face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the old man saw Liu Zheng, he didn't care about saluting the old man Liu Chengzong, and said to Liu Zheng anxiously: "Young master, it's not good, the people from the Inspection Department surrounded our two grain stores early this morning, and they have to ask us to hand over 3,000 stone of grain, otherwise we will be arrested!" ”
Liu Zheng frowned and said, "Shopkeeper Xu, you said that it was the people from the Inspection Department who surrounded us?" Do you want us to pay 3,000 stone of grain? What does this mean? ”
Shopkeeper Xu said with a flustered face: "Little old man doesn't know!" ”
Liu Zheng didn't ask the shopkeeper Xu, but asked his father, Liu Chengzong was also puzzled, this Lord Sun of the Inspection Department usually has a lot of filial piety to him, and it is not that he doesn't know that these two grain stores belong to the old Liu family, how could he send troops to surround the grain store and let him hand over 3,000 stone of grain?
"Wait! Shopkeeper Xu, you said that the Inspection Department wants us to hand over 3,000 stone grain? Liu Chengzong suddenly thought of what happened yesterday afternoon.
Shopkeeper Xu hugged his fists and said, "Master, it's true!" Early in the morning, our grain store was surrounded by water, if it weren't for the lord, you usually give Lord Sun a lot of filial piety, I would not have come out to report to you! ”
"Dad, what's going on?" Liu Zheng saw that his father must have something to say to him yesterday.
Liu Chengzong sighed softly, and told Liu Zheng what happened in the back hall yesterday, and Liu Zheng heard a touch of anger on his face, Okay, the master hasn't gone to your trouble yet, and you actually sent it to the door yourself.
He snorted heavily and said: "Shopkeeper Xu, don't panic, you go back now, take the people from the Inspection Division, and go to the Zhuangzi in Lijiazhuang outside the city to get three thousand stone of grain!" ”
"What, young master, that's three thousand stones, and now the grain for one stone has risen to four taels of silver, that's more than 10,000 taels of silver!" Shopkeeper Xu couldn't believe his ears, his young master was a master who couldn't eat at all, and at this time he actually asked himself to send 3,000 stone of grain out.
"Hmph, my food is so easy to take? If you take 3,000 stones from me today, I'll tell them to spit out 10,000 stones tomorrow! After saying this, Liu Zheng said to his father: "Dad, let's go, let's go to the yamen of our district and meet those old men!" ”
Liu Zheng raised his feet and walked out, Liu Chengzong sighed, instructed the shopkeeper Xu to do what the young master said, and followed in his son's footsteps.
……
When the two of them came to the Yamen, they saw dozens of subordinates carrying food to the backyard of the Yamen, and several masters stood beside the prefect Wang Jiabin and looked at the subordinates who were constantly busy, pointing and talking about something.
When Liu Zheng got closer, he heard that these people were telling the prefect Wang Jiabin about his own grain store, and when everyone finished speaking, Liu Zheng stood up with a smile and said: "Several masters really love the people like sons, they can't bear the people to starve, and their own food has been donated. ”
Wang Jiabin didn't know how to deal with these shameless people, but suddenly saw Liu Zheng speak, and laughed in his heart, the two grain stores surrounded by the inspection department, he already knew that the owner behind him was Liu Zhutou in the Yamen, since he came, he was very curious about this Liu Zhutou, with the head catcher of the Bapinxiao Riding School, it was definitely the only one in the Ming Dynasty, such a unique person, how could he not be called to care, but no matter how much he was concerned, he couldn't get to the bottom of this person, and he quickly understood with his cleverness, This person must have a big backstage, and since he has a big backstage, Wang Jiabin will naturally not provoke him, so he has always turned a blind eye to his affairs.
Now Yu Zheng and these people are actually facing Liu Zhutou, he is really happy in his heart, dog eats dog, there is a good show to watch!
Liu Zheng made sarcastic remarks, Yu Zheng and others relied on their identity to speak, but Shi Junda, the governor of Jiupin, had no scruples, and immediately snorted coldly: "Lord Yu, Lord Qian, etc., are all officials of the imperial court, and they are the parents of the people on this side, and they should be sympathetic to the people's feelings. ”
Liu Zheng smiled and said, "Master Shi's lesson is that the small ones will get aside!" ”
Liu Zheng bit the word 'history' very hard, and everyone couldn't help but associate the words history and together when they heard it, and the corners of their mouths smiled.
"You!" Shi Junda was really angry, stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Zheng and said, "Come on, drag this unruly servant down and beat him hard!" ”
When Liu Chengzong heard Shi Junda's words, he was unhappy, and snorted: "Lord Shi, the prefect hasn't spoken yet, you are a nine-grade governor, you dare to give orders, I can't understand the rules of the person is you, right!" ”
"You ......"
As soon as Shi Junda wanted to refute, he heard Yu Zheng speak: "Bai Ting, step aside!" ”
Yu Zheng spoke, Shi Junda naturally listened, glared at Liu Chengzong viciously, and obediently stepped aside.
Yu Zheng smiled and said: "Liu Zhutou, don't go to your heart, Bai Ting is so angry, it is understandable, after all, from now on, their family will be hungry!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Jiabin's face immediately darkened, but Yu Zheng didn't care at all, and only said to Liu Chengzong: "Liu Zhutou, the matter of the grain store, Lord Wang has no choice, after all, you can't watch so many people starve to death, you will be wronged, this matter is over, Lord Wang will definitely find a way to compensate you!" ”
Yu Zheng is also a little jealous of this Liu catcher in the yamen, one is that Liu Chengzong has been a head catcher in this yamen for seventeen years, and he is an absolute snake, and the other is that Liu Chengzong's identity is very mysterious, a small cheap head catcher, he actually has the military position of an eight-rank Xiao cavalry captain, which is unique in the Ming Dynasty.
So he drew the fire to Wang Jiabin, and wanted Liu Chengzong to fight Wang Jiabin, he dared to do this, because Wang Jiabin would not refute him, after all, what Wang Jiabin cares about most at this time is food, Wang Jiabin doesn't care who the food is, as long as he doesn't die, he can get through the difficulties.
Wang Jiabin really didn't deny that he really didn't care who the food was, in his eyes, whether it was Yu Zheng, Qian You, or Liu Chengzong, they were all his enemies.
Liu Zheng really laughed angrily at this time, Lord Yu, you can do it, one push two, five or six, Wang Jiabin took the blame for you, and Wang Jiabin came out to compensate, will Wang Jiabin compensate? Fools know no! You're playing with the master for a fool!
Without waiting for Liu Chengzong to speak, Liu Zheng took the first step and said: "The court is in trouble, the husband is responsible, donating some food is right, it should be, where will there be any compensation, you say yes, Dad!" ”
Liu Chengzong didn't know what his son was planning in his heart, but his bastard son was absolutely holding back, but he wouldn't expose it, after all, it was his son, so Liu Chengzong smiled and said: "Master, I don't know if three thousand stones is enough, not enough for our family, and donate it together!" ”
As soon as Liu Chengzong finished speaking, Liu Zheng gave his father a thumbs up in his heart, his father is an absolute snake, and Wang Jiabin didn't dare to do anything wrong, he could take out 3,000 stone of grain from his own side at this time, it would definitely be an unexpected gain, and he couldn't start from his own side anymore.
Sure enough, Wang Jiabin listened to Liu Chengzong's words, waved his hand and said: "Alas, how can you let Liu Zhutou come out alone, we are all officials of the imperial court, so naturally we have to be more than Liu Zhutou!" ”
Yu Zheng and Qian You's faces darkened all of a sudden......
stayed up in the yamen until dark, Liu Zheng rode out of the city, Liu Chengzong did not stop him, sighed and went home.
Here Liu Zheng went out of the city, Liu Chengzong returned home, and Yu Zheng and Qian You got together again, or in the inconspicuous small courtyard in the west of the city, but there were only Yu Zheng and Qian You tonight.
"Lord Yu, how should I deal with it now!" Qian You was a little breathless.
Yu Zheng looked like an old god, took a sip of wine slowly, and touched the woman next to him by the way.
"Lord Qian, don't panic, I have already ordered someone to go to Chen Zeng with a generous gift in the morning!"
Hearing Chen Zeng's name, Qian You's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Yu has a way to the palace?" ”
Yu Zheng shook his head lightly and said, "If I have this ability, it will not be developed long ago!" ”
Qian You said with a dark face: "Then, this is looking for Chen Zeng...... Will he help us? ”
Yu Zheng secretly despised in his heart, but his face did not show any hint, and said with a smile: "Lord Qian, don't forget why Chen Zeng, the old eunuch, came to Shandong!" ”
Chen Zeng came to Shandong to do it? It's time to make money for the emperor! Thinking of this, Qian You laughed, and after laughing, he picked the chin of the woman next to him with his hand and said, "Come, little lady, give me a leather cup for uncle!" ”
……
Liu Zheng went out of the city and arrived at Juyizhuang, and immediately called Zhou Yun to the study, Zhou Yun saw Liu Zheng's anger on his face, and hurriedly said: "Second brother, what is it that annoys you like this!" ”
"It's just too deceitful!"
Liu Zheng briefly told Zhou Yun what happened today, and Zhou Yun immediately narrowed his eyes, with a gloomy and terrible look on his face.
The two were silent for a while, and Zhou Yun suddenly spoke: "Second brother, why don't you go and ...... that person tonight" Zhou Yun's palm turned into a knife and slashed diagonally.
Liu Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "No!" ”
Zhou Yun looked at Liu Zheng puzzled and said, "Then wait for the dog official, kill it, why not?" ”
Liu Zheng shook his head again and said, "Killing an official is tantamount to rebellion!" After saying this, he paused slightly and then said: "Now our strength is not enough to put it on the surface, and we need to find another way to do this!" ”
Zhou Yun nodded, he has been in this Zhuangzi for more than a year, and he has seen everything Liu Zheng has done.
Zhou Yun is a person from Runing Mansion, originally a blacksmith, because the family property was robbed by the bully, he killed the bully's family of more than 70 people, after the incident, he fled, but it affected the old mother and wife and daughter of the family, the old mother who was nearly fifty years old was sentenced to flow 3,000 miles, died on the road, his wife and daughter were sentenced to lowly status, sold to a green building as a rough mother-in-law, although he was later saved, but his wife threw himself into the river, leaving a six-year-old daughter to follow him to the end of the world.
Rebellion, Zhou Yun is not afraid at all, he can't wait to kill all the dog officials and bullies in the world, Liu Zheng does not rebel, Zhou Yun will not say anything, just do something for him silently, Liu Zheng is really going to rebel, he Zhou Yun will definitely raise his hands in favor, and he is the one who rushes to the front.
