Chapter 86

Cao Herui didn't expect it to be like this, but he knew how difficult it would be to want the money he owed, only that interest would be a monthly interest, which made people unable to pay it back, but Mrs. actually said that it could be repaid, how much salary would be enough? .

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Herui's face sank, looked at his wife and then at those concubines, and asked, "Did Zhang Zhong let you go to the land of fireworks?" Otherwise, where did you get so much money? ”

These words startled the crowd, and the eldest lady hurriedly said, "Master, where is there any place for fireworks?" It's all working here, even if there is a place for fireworks, no one will go, sir, it's not like that, we give lessons to others, in fact, it's just to talk about things they don't know, which gives a lot of money.

And the same is true of the people in the family, and the gardener gets a lot of money, and it is only when these money are added up that the debt is paid off little by little, sir, what good news did you bring with you this time. ”

"Oh, I see, just to tell someone about things? Is there nothing wrong with the head of the Zhang family, and such a thing will also be paid, and you will be found directly, and you won't dare not tell it, right? ”

Cao Herui was relieved when he heard that it was not that thing, and it was indeed as Mrs. said, now all the people in this Luzhou are busy, and they don't have time to go to any fireworks place, not even such a place.

But he just didn't know how Zhang Zhong could give money to his family, as long as his family's people were bullied here, then he had to endure it, he really couldn't figure it out.

The eldest lady pulled Cao Herui to the bathing place and said: "Master, they said that giving us such artificial money is not actually for us, but for the teacher, the more useful the things to teach others, then the teacher should gain more, otherwise, how can the teacher teach others without food."

Of course, they also emphasized that there must be teacher morality, otherwise such a person is not worthy of being a teacher, I teach the most seriously, so the more money I get, in fact, I have also learned a lot, that Zhang Zhong's wife Zhang Wang is really powerful, I know a lot of things I don't know. ”

"Well, as long as I don't embarrass you, it seems that Zhang Zhong is also a gentleman, I think it's bad, and the future will be fine, this time I took a lot of flying money back, in addition to the money repaid, there is still some left, you have already repaid some, then there is more left."

Cao Herui felt that his face was a little hot, he always thought that Zhang Zhong would bully his family hard, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhong to do that at all, but to take care of it, although there is no spare money in his hand, but after all, he has a good hope, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, so that the people in the family can be so red-faced.

The next thing is that Cao Herui and the eldest lady went to take a bath together, doing some things while washing, and at the same time, Cao Herui also told the past things this time, including asking people to beat him in front of the yamen, and telling his wife about the things he encountered when he came back.

The other two families are basically the same, to be able to see each other again, the family is also worried about the master when they are happy, especially when they talk about the wind, everyone has their eyes widened, even if they know that the master is fine, but they are still afraid.

The news of the return of the three people soon reached the Zhang family, Zhang Xiaobao sighed helplessly, he really wanted these individuals to suffer more, but as soon as the three of them came back, it meant that things had taken a turn for the better.

"Xiaobao, let's think about it again, otherwise, if they recover, won't they have the energy to do things again, and they are still guilty, so they can't let them go so easily."

After Wang Juan knew about this, he asked Zhang Xiaobao to continue to find a way to deal with the people of the three families, the one surnamed Liu was forgotten, after all, he surrendered at a critical time, no matter what the reason, at least he did it very seriously when organizing the personnel, and he did it very well.

Zhang Xiaobao *** temple, said: "I'm afraid this thing is not good, they were guilty before, but there is no evidence, if you want to sentence them, you have to find evidence, the matter of leaving the post, the sentence can't be sentenced, not to mention that when they come back, they must have got money, and they can't threaten them in debt."

Wait, I can only wait to see if they will do what they did before, if they still don't change their minds, then find out the problem, even if they are calculated now, they will not be fooled, it is estimated that they will have some money left, first do nothing to seek stability, in this way, my tricks are useless, how can people be deceived if they are not greedy? ”

"What about the crime, they have been away for so long, and it is a crime if the sentence is not serious, at least their official positions will be taken down." Wang Juan just didn't want to let them go easily, and wanted to make a fuss in this regard.

Zhang Xiaobao also thought about this matter, but since the three of them came back from Qinzhou, I think that there will definitely be some costs in exchange for the stability of the three of them, what the price is not important, what is important is an attitude issue, and the three of them are not meaningless in this sentence for leaving their posts, and it is not a matter of harm.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaobao proposed: "This matter is like this first, you can't let the three of them go too easily, but you can't use that incident as an excuse, let them return the money first, and then lock them up and beat them, just for others to see, and finally let them come out."

This matter depends on what my father thinks, if my father wants someone to do it, then it will be beaten, let them do things, the more tired the better, but they will do it, don't worry about not being able to do it, if my father has to prepare to kill them, then use that excuse to report layer by layer, write an excerpt, and let the court judge it, I think it's useless. ”

Zhang Xiaobao has already thought about this matter clearly, it is not so simple, especially the people of the Ning family, as long as they find a reason, saying that they picked people up and asked people to go over there to help with disaster relief, saying that they sent someone to say hello, but the person who sent something happened, so they didn't tell the news here, it was a big deal that the people of the Ning family carried the guilt and casually pushed out a person to punish them, the above obviously knew how, but for the sake of stability over there, they would not clean up the people of the Ning family.

Wang Juan pursed her mouth, she didn't have any good way to make the three of them unlucky, just like Zhang Xiaobao said, if people don't care about the money outside at all, they can really survive by guarding the leftovers.

Zhang Zhong really received a letter from Ning Tingshi, and as Zhang Xiaobao guessed, Ning Tingshi took all the responsibility, hoping that Zhang Zhong's side could deal with it publicly, and praised what Zhang Zhong did here, and also said the content of the excerpt submitted.

Zhang Zhong read the letter, knowing that this crime is not easy to sentence, the people have taken it all, if you really want to write an excerpt and hand it up, you must bring the history of Qinzhou's assassination, and when the time comes, the people of the Ning family will dredge it up a little, and this will be over, the most important thing is to do this, you can only keep the Ning family busy, unable to move the root, and aggravate the hatred.

This thing is something that Zhang Zhong doesn't want to see, and at the same time he really wrote an excerpt of the past, so if the Ning family is busy, there will be less energy to put on the local people, and the people's life will definitely not be easy.

Of course, Zhang Zhong didn't know that after Ning Tingshi wrote an excerpt praising him, in order to shirk the responsibility, he wrote another excerpt to blame him, and the two excerpts would be sent to the imperial court one after the other, and the Ning family also began to prepare to do something to him, especially in terms of economy.

Cao and Rui really didn't get Zhang Zhong any way, but they were locked up first, saying that they would wait until they asked clearly, and then let them go, taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao and Rui returned the money, and the three families were stable all of a sudden, plus the people in the family have been working as teachers for others, not only are they not sad, but they are getting better and better.

Zhang Xiaobao can't take out so much energy to calculate, so he can only put it aside for a while, and look at the performance of the three people, and put more energy into the basic culture here.

It's not just about finding teachers to teach people here in night schools, but also those schools, which all need people, especially teachers, how can the people here be so able to be teachers in learning? When Zhang Xiaobao was worried about where to find a teacher, Wang Juan said to him:

"Xiaobao, I think there should be a academy here, especially in Guangzhou Mansion, there are a lot of people lecturing over there now, it's better to ......"

"That's right, come from over there to get people, Grandpa Bi is still here at our door, so I can be the principal again, let's go, go to Grandpa Bi, what will I have for dinner?"

Zhang Xiaobao became happy when he heard this, he and Wang Juan have not found time to study with the old man in the past few days, and the old man also knows that they are busy with the old man, and he will not bother them, just like that, they only now think that there is a person with a lot of ability to stay here.

The two of them came to the old man's yard, but they didn't find anyone, and the next person said that they went to the nursing home, and they went with the old man Zhang, that is, the old housekeeper of Zhang Jiuling's house, and the two of them turned around and went to the nursing home.

Don't look at the water is not small, but most of them have been taken away by the river, there is nothing at all in the house here, the occupant can continue to live in people, when the two of them came to the nursing home, Bi Gou and Old Man Zhang played billiards there, this billiards is amazing.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan can't make such good materials to make this billiards, the case is easy to handle, as long as the fine plush is used to make the achievement, the problem of the ball can only be extravagant, using ivory, which is really not cheap.

The cue is simple, just find wood to do, plus talcum powder, a billiards entertainment began to rise, this thing has been sent to the capital by boat a few sets, when the emperor has to have it, as for how to divide the others, it depends on the emperor's meaning.

Billiards are crackling, but there are not many people who can enter the bag, the two old men are actually playing in a confused way now, although there are rules, that is, according to the suit, when the time comes, whoever first puts the ball of their own suit into it, who wins, but where will the two people adjust the position of the ball.

On the contrary, he used the cue ball to hit the suit ball that he should play, and the result was often that the ball on his side did not go down and the opponent's ball was knocked down.

Don't look at Old Man Zhang's original ability is not bad, but this matter is different from playing ball, when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came in, they saw Old Man Zhang playing tricks there, his shot only rubbed the edge of the white ball, the ball didn't move much distance at all, he still wanted to continue to play another shot, Old Man Bi disagreed, and reasoned with Old Man Zhang there.

The other old men and old ladies were watching the excitement over there, and no one stopped them, but it was all a fun thing, and the noise was really good.

"Hey~! I said you, someone else touched me in the back just now, and I accidentally touched the white ball with the club, which is not what I want to play at all, how can you just say that I hit it? ”

Old man Zhang wanted to get the ball back to the position just now, but Old Man Bi just said that he wouldn't do anything, and he found an excuse.

"Don't talk nonsense, no one was so close to you just now, how could I touch you, besides, even if it touched you, then your rod shouldn't stretch out so long, it's clear that you are using your own strength, everyone says it's not like this?"

Old man Bi didn't give in at all, and asked other people to prove it, these old men and old ladies were afraid that things were not messy enough, so they divided into two groups, one group said that someone touched it, and the other group said that no one touched it, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Old man Bi, you have been so many officials, and in the end you retired from the position of Shangshu, why didn't you see what you looked like when you were an official? Isn't it just a little more fighting? Can't you let me? Yes? I'll hit it again, swing the ball back. ”

Old man Zhang was rubbing the club with talcum powder there, as if he had softened, he had to let Old Man Bi take the ball back, and the words were all said to be this, and it stands to reason that Old Man Bi would let go, but who knew that Old Man Bi did not let go at all, and held the ball in his hand and said:

"What kind of official am I and what I am now, there are no rules, there is no circle, if you really put this ball back, then others will not obey the rules in the future, no, it's my turn, don't get in the way there, are you so unruly when you were a housekeeper before?"

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had come to the front at this time, listening to what the two people said, they felt very interesting, it seems that this old man sometimes has a lot of calculations.

Old man Bi saw the two people, and immediately said to the two people as if he had found a backup: "Xiaobao, juanjuan, you two talk about it, should you let Old Man Zhang fight again?" He could have accidentally touched the ball himself just now, and now he doesn't want to admit it.

You two talk about it, if you say that you want him to beat it once, then let it, if you don't let it, then I will fight, this matter must not be calculated so easily, this thing is figured out by the two of you, and what you two say is the most accurate. ”

Old man Zhang also saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and said the same: "That's it, what kind of rule is this?" If you accidentally touch it, why can't you fight it again, it's all for fun, why be so strict? You two talk about it, what should I do? ”

The billiards game was made by Zhang Xiaobao, he played well, so he naturally knew the rules, but he didn't expect that Old Man Zhang didn't want to follow the rules, so he was embarrassed, and Wang Juan didn't know who to face on the side.

The people around them focused on Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, wanting to see how the two of them would judge this matter.

"Xiaobao, speak, you wrote the rules of this game." Wang Juan didn't know what to do, so he asked Zhang Xiaobao to come up with an idea, Zhang Xiaobao smiled bitterly, "The rules are right for me, but this matter is not within the rules, but Grandpa Zhang is not ready to do it according to the rules." ”

Zhang Xiaobao didn't directly say what should be done over there, but the voice was relatively loud and Wang Juan said, he said this, Old Man Zhang's face couldn't hold it, Zhang Xiaobao's meaning was very clear, if you want to play according to the rules, then you have to find it, if you don't follow the rules, then you can do anything.

"Okay, okay, let you fight, let you fight." Old man Zhang finally stopped being strong, he felt that it was not good for the two babies to do this, so he gave up the place.

Old man Bi was very happy, looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and said: "Yes, some things must be done in accordance with the rules, otherwise, it will be easy for people to do not follow the rules, in this way, the people who buy and sell have no rules, then there will be more disputes, and if some officials have no rules and do things in accordance with the law, won't the world be chaotic?" ”

Zhang Xiaobao didn't expect that he would help once, and Old Man Bi actually began to talk about his father, in fact, the main reason is that he sometimes does not follow the rules, such as killing people, this death penalty is not something that he can be sentenced casually by the assassination history of a state, he has to hand it to the upper levels.

It seems that many people are dissatisfied with this matter, but for the sake of my father's need for Liwei when I first came here, and those individuals really deserve to die, they will turn a blind eye to it, so we must pay attention in the future, and we can't leave too many handles.

In fact, Zhang Xiaobao understood that Grandpa Bi deliberately ordered his father, and also let him know that there are some things that cannot be done too much, otherwise he will not be able to restrain himself, and he will be out of his heart in the future, which will bring harm to others.

In fact, there are not many cases of not following the rules, not to mention the Zhang family, even those other families, even including the emperor, cannot completely follow the rules, but there is a degree of problem in this.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said: "I'll tell my dad about this when I go back, let my dad talk about this issue with those students when he is in the academy, people can't do without their own things, otherwise it's like a wild horse that has escaped, it's easy to have an accident, and you have to grasp the relationship." ”

Old man Bi is satisfied now, he is really afraid that the Zhang family has finished this time, and he wants to continue to do it in the future, in that case, even if Zhang Zhong does more achievements, it will be unbearable.

Seeing Zhang Xiaobao say this, he knew that Zhang Xiaobao had understood what he meant, and when he sighed that Zhang Xiaobao was smart, he also thought about trying to maintain the Zhang family as much as possible, and couldn't let Zhang Zhong go to a fork in the road.

After saying a few words, Old Man Bi started to play, and hit it with a snap, and the result was that Old Man Zhang laughed.

"Okay, this ball is playing well, thank you Old Man Bi, for helping me score one, I'll let you play it again, maybe you can help me score one again."

Old man Zhang was so happy, just now he was afraid that Old Man Bi would hit the ball that was about to go into the hole below, but now it's okay, he hit his own ball into the hole, and he squeezed out the ball that should have been scored.

Old man Bi felt very depressed, but he still motioned to Old Man Zhang to play, looked at Old Man Zhang's smug look and said: "Be careful, I am on the ball left on the table, see that you are pitiful, I will help you score one, and I will be merciless after a while." ”

"You have to be merciful, otherwise you will hit my ball in a while, wouldn't it be difficult to say, hahahaha~!"

Old man Zhang shook his head, making the people around him laugh too, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other, they didn't expect the two old men to get together to be so fun.

There were only six balls left on the table, and the white balls were seven, and the two men had played for a full quarter of an hour before it was over.

Zhang Xiaobao watched the balls on the table being rearranged, and suddenly said: "Grandpa Bi, Grandpa Zhang, I'll play a game with the two of you, you two play the same ball, I play the same ball myself, and then the three of you will take turns to play, that is, the two of you will play twice, and I will only play once, how about it?" ”

As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he moved a stool from the side, he was too short to fight without stepping on the stool.

The two old men summed it up and nodded in agreement, thinking that there was absolutely no problem for two people to play one, but since Old Man Bi blew the ball directly away, the two of them never touched the ball again, and they were cleared by Zhang Xiaobao with one shot.

This is too easy for Zhang Xiaobao, someone actually blew the ball away, the most important thing is that this hole is bigger than usual, but I am afraid that the old man and the old lady will not be able to hit it if their eyes are not good, but it can be regarded as cheap Zhang Xiaobao, the hole is a little bigger, it will be much easier, not to mention that this hole is half bigger.

Shrinking the head, heeling the head, and deflecting the head, that is, the various rod methods of reversing the plug, plugging, and stuffing left and right are all used by Zhang Xiaobao, maybe it is in good condition, and a stool is added, and a gun is played, seeing the ball jump up and fall into the case and roll into the bag, this game is over.

The two main old men and the people around them were dumbfounded, Wang Juan also admired it very much, I didn't expect Zhang Xiaobao to have this hand, it seems that I have to ask when I go back, and ask Zhang Xiaobao if he has done gambling before.
