Chapter 7 Telling and Planning
It turned out that the Hongyuan Restaurant that Lin Yi went to was the place where Da Zhuang and Huzi used to do things - there are always so many coincidences in the world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Young master, ah no, the emperor, that restaurant is the largest in the county, and business has been booming. But some time ago, after the new owner took over, the business slowly failed, and the new owner's surname was Liang, and people usually called him Liang Yuanwai. This Liang member is very bad, he will be angry with us if the business is not good, and he will be fierce to us on weekdays, not only will he not give us enough food, but he will also find an excuse to beat and scold us when he has nothing to do. Fortunately, he often goes out, and the restaurant is usually taken care of by the shopkeeper Wang, who is a friend of the world with his grandfather, and is very good to us, only letting us do some brisk work, and often takes us to his house for dinner. Wang's shopkeeper's house is on the street behind the restaurant, Mrs. Feng's surname is Feng, we all call her Aunt Feng, Aunt Feng's cooking is very delicious, every time I can eat several big bowls, Wang's shopkeeper said that we are half the size of the child, eat Lao Tzu to death. At that time, I thought that it would be good for the shopkeeper Wang to take over the owner of the restaurant at that time, but unfortunately the shopkeeper Wang didn't want it, but someone came to the government last month and arrested the shopkeeper Wang, how could a good person like the shopkeeper Wang do that kind of thing......
Zhao Qizhi (Huzi) said for a long time without saying a word, and he surrounded everyone in the clouds, and he didn't say what was strange about this restaurant, and what kind of thing the shopkeeper did did. Everyone was in a hurry, so they all looked at Li Shiyao.
Li Shiyao lived up to everyone's expectations, and talked about things much more clearly:
It turns out that the Hongyuan restaurant was originally the property of Wang Juren in the city, and the shopkeeper Wang is a relative of the same clan of Wang Juren, who has been the shopkeeper in the restaurant for more than 20 years. A few days ago, he finally squandered all the gold and silver in his family, and sold all the real estate in the city and the restaurant to Liang Yuanwai from the countryside half a year ago, and returned to the village Zhuangzi by himself.
Since this Liang member took over, strange things began to appear in the restaurant one after another, at first the guest's property was missing, after several searches were fruitless, to the recent even the guest's family and the attaché have been lost, the guest has gone to the government to report to the official, but also failed to find the person, the result is all gone. A few days ago, a customer angrily accused the restaurant of being a black shop, stealing guests' property, and robbing the guests' families, but he was severely beaten by the county officials, and was punished for framing a good person, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and then drove him out of the city. Now everyone knows that Liang Yuanwai has a deep friendship with the county officials, and no one dares to provoke this Liang Yuanwai anymore, so that now, except for passers-by from outside, no one in the city will go to the restaurant.
As the shopkeeper of the restaurant, the shopkeeper Wang began to hate the theft of customers' property in the restaurant, and repeatedly dissuaded Liang Yuanwai but all of them were useless. Later, one day, a fierce quarrel broke out between the shopkeeper Wang and Liang Yuanwai, and then the shopkeeper Wang was taken by the county government that day, saying that he had made false accounts to steal the owner's money, in a vain attempt to seize the owner's property.
……
"At first, it was only the occasional theft of guests' property in the restaurant, and my family officials did not suspect it, and they also tried their best to help find it, but all in vain. Later, there were many such things, and my family officials gradually found out that Liang Yuanwai instructed his subordinates to do it, and my family officials dissuaded Liang Yuanwai many times, but Liang Yuanwai not only did not listen, but intensified. My family official was disheartened, so he wanted to quit his job as a shopkeeper and return to his hometown to make a living. But just last month, my family officials found out that Liang Yuanwai not only stole the guest's property, but also did the kidnapping and abduction of women and children.
Then I was locked up in my own home, guarded day and night, and I didn't want to step out of the door. These days there is always going in and out of this house, and there are always people who are locked in and taken out. A few days ago, a little girl came, she was taken out yesterday and did not come back, it is estimated that she was sold, and according to the guards, even the two children of Huzi and Da Zhuang were sold by the madness, and I don't know when we will be sold to a foreign country. ”
After listening to Feng's account in front of him, Lin Yi finally believed that Feng was not a gangster who had drugged and kidnapped him, but a victim who had also lost his freedom and was waiting to be sold, and the Wang shopkeeper and Feng's home where he was now were also used to imprison new abductees, such as Lin Yi himself.
Well, I have a good life, but I want to pretend to be caught and fool Xiao Mu, but in the end, I don't know if Xiao Mu has been tricked, but I got into the tiger's mouth, went to a black shop, and was really caught. Lin Yi don't mention how much he regrets it, where is there a regret medicine for sale, even if he wants ten thousand taels of gold, Lin Yi will definitely buy one without hesitation, he is now the queen of a country, is this "ten thousand gold" body talking about playing?
Lin Yi first thought of the regret medicine, and then launched a series of associations: since it is medicine, it must be used to eat, as for what can be eaten, there must be not only medicine, but also a lot of delicacies or something, and then Lin Ye's stomach naturally screamed, it seems that he can only blame himself for being too quick in thinking and too strong in association......
Lin Yi laughed embarrassedly twice: "Hehe, I'm hungry, I don't know if the thief has something for us to eat." ”
"I still have a piece of bread here, you can eat it first." Feng said this, took out a piece of thick dough wrapped in a handkerchief, and handed it to Lin Yi.
"I'm sorry about that." Lin Yi excused himself and took the dough unkindly in his hand.
Nibbling on the black and hard dough, Lin Yi, who wanted to cry without tears, hated Liang Yuanwai even more, and scolded loudly while eating: "What bullshit Liang Yuanwai, if you can go out, see how I clean him up!" ”
"Sister, we can only think about this matter, that Liang Yuanwai is covering the sky with one hand in this big X county, it is said that the magistrate of Daxing is an uncle and brother with him, how can we fight them." If my family officials had listened to my advice and not provoked others, we would not have ...... today," the Feng woman said and cried again.
"Eldest sister, don't cry, relying on the fact that you have a little relative of the county magistrate, you will be a fox and a tiger, what is there to be afraid of. Not to mention that bullshit Liang Yuan, even if it is Nazhi County, he is just a seven-grade sesame official, as long as I can go out, it will be effortless to clean him up. Lin Yi hurriedly comforted.
"It seems that she is a lady with a solid background who does not know the world, and she must be used to enjoying happiness on weekdays, but this Daxingzhi County is a positive six products but I don't know, I will be sold to a foreign country in the future, and I don't know if I can survive a few years." Thinking so, Feng stopped crying.
"You just said that there was always someone guarding this room and not letting us out?" Lin Yi asked suddenly.
"That's right, there have always been guards outside the house, and the fierce gods are vicious, don't even think about escaping!" Fung said.
"Then we have said so many things from just now to now, and I have scolded that Liang Yuanwai, and no one has come to care about us, and the guards are deaf?" Ringo asked.
The eyes of the two suddenly lit up!
……
After the big X county, Liang Yuehao of the county is nervous.
Things have to start from last year, Emperor Chongzhen quickly cut through the chaos at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, the illustrious nine thousand years ago committed suicide, attached to Wei Zhongxian's civil official group, that is, the days of the eunuch party are also over, other officials who were suppressed by the eunuch party before have been gearing up, planning to fight back, revenge for revenge, revenge for injustice, sabre-rattling above the court, it seems that it is inevitable to purge, the eunuch party has been purged, who is the vacant official position? Naturally, there is an open and secret fight.
Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, so many officials, from the governor and other feudal officials, to the small officials such as the governor of the prefecture and the county, I don't know how many of them are eunuchs, needless to say, these people must be unlucky. Then the rest of the officials must be safe? That's not necessarily, even if there is no attachment to the eunuch party, who does not have two divisions attached to the eunuch party, the same year? Twisted and crookedly clinging to a pass, is it not a matter of the eunuch party in the above sentence?
So Liang Yuehao's mind was also activated, first of all, he must not be a eunuch, if he doesn't want to be a eunuch, he must pay filial piety to his superiors, just not being a eunuch is of course not the ultimate goal, if he serves his superiors well, it is not impossible for the official to be promoted to a level or something - so many eunuchs have fallen, and someone must fill the original official position, right?
Filial piety naturally has to be rich, Liang Yuehao thinks that the official is honest and clean, where can there be such a dirty thing? Just when Liang Yuehao was shy and couldn't sleep in worry, his cousin Liang Yanyang, whom he hadn't met for a long time, brought him a pillow.
After learning that his brother was short of silver in his career, Liang Yanyang generously donated 500 taels of silver on the spot as support, and generously said that if it was not enough, he would just open his mouth - as long as he gave some convenience to his business in Da X County.
With the help of his cousin Liang Yanyang, Liang Yuehao used his means to begin to dredge up and down the relationship, after some activities, he left a good impression on the above, saying that he was capable and talented, and he could be of great use with a little sharpening, which made Liang Yuehao very happy, and hurriedly took silver money from his cousin to further send filial piety to the above - didn't the above say that he still needed to "sharpen"?
Liang Yuehao, who was expected to be promoted, was naturally very grateful to his cousin, but later heard that his cousin seemed to have done some illegal things and went a little too far, so he turned a blind eye and helped cover up the past.
As for whether what his cousin did would be revealed, Liang Yuehao never thought about it: everyone was staring at the movements in the capital, ready to purge the eunuchs at any time and snatch the seats vacated by the eunuchs.
Everything went smoothly, until yesterday, two big people came to this big X county that no one paid attention to, and Liang Yuehao was scared half to death. Immediately after last night, Liang Yuehao found out that there were bigger people in the county......
"Lord County, the eldest lord of your family in the city is here." Suddenly, someone came to report, which startled Liang Yuehao,
"Got it, so loudly trying to scare the official to death?" Liang Yuehao glared at the person, "Quickly bring me to see me." ”
