Chapter 313: Knowing Yourself and Knowing Your Opponent (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Although Ye Xiaopang is also a native of Ningbo, the Ye family is a local snake, and the little fat man is not, he is young, and he has been away from his hometown for several years, so it is absolutely wishful thinking to rely on this little guy alone to find out the news. Therefore, to be able to meet a self-recommended lawyer in front of the Yamen of Yinxian County, no, it should be said that it is a lawyer, and Wang Fulin is indeed very welcome.
It's just that the place where he talked to people was very low-grade, a small teahouse two streets away from the Yamen of Yinxian County. Business in this small teahouse, which is still dark and dim in broad daylight, is not doing well, and the owner has no sense of hospitality at all, so after serving tea according to the customer's instructions, he goes to the back of the counter to take a nap. In the six-table store, they are the only customers at the moment.
Mao Fengyi originally expected that the guests who were going to divide the property lawsuit would not be stingy with money, but now that he saw such a place to talk, he was half disappointed in his heart. It's just that thinking that there were still two entourages outside leading the horses outside, and they didn't follow up with the store, looking at the fact that there were really some wealthy families, he had a little hope, and immediately took the lead in asking: "What kind of property division lawsuit does this little official want to fight?" ”
"First of all, what I want to fight is not a lawsuit over the division of property in other places, but in this Yin County. Do you dare to take it? ”
Wang Fulin threw out the question bluntly, seeing that Mao Fengyi was shocked at first, and then showed an extremely hesitant expression, he waited for the other party's answer for a long time. He is not familiar with the place in Ningbo, and since he has come, if he wants to do something, of course, he has to contact the locals. Mao Fengyi sent it to the door by herself, but if she didn't even take the first step, she would probably escape even faster when she heard that it was the Ye family's business. When the time comes, there will be another leak. It was another time delay. So he'd rather break through this layer of joints first.
"What don't you dare!" Mao Fengyi finally burst out of her mouth with a few words. Then he sneered, "Ye Shijiu just relied on himself to be a child of the Ye family, and he was on good terms with the officials of the household, so he took over all the lawsuits in Yin County. But he didn't want to think about it, this time the Ye family's split was so uproarious, if he still wanted to maintain his position, he should persuade him left and right to make peace and turn big things into small things. Rather than instigating people to file complaints. The Ye family will definitely be greatly injured by this incident, even if he has money at that time, without the Ye family as a backer, can he still be so horizontal with just a show? ”
At this time, Ye Xiaopang, who had not spoken, couldn't help but slap the table and said, "That's it!" You, an outsider, can see clearly, but the Ye family has been struck by lightning, Niang Xipi, what is the benefit of a lawsuit for this kind of thing? ”
Ye Xiaopang was furious, and the classic classics in Ningbo's local dialect immediately popped up. Seeing Wang Fulin looking at him with a strange face, he immediately shrank his head. Nervously said, "I also learned from my father......"
Wang Fulin smiled slightly, and saw Mao Fengyi looking at Ye Xiaopang in some surprise. He said lightly: "I'm not from Ningbo, but my little brother is." I also invited him for this reason. Since you can see through Ye Nineteen's self-destruction, it can be regarded as some eyesight, then let me ask you again, since you are doing this business, the faces of the third class and six rooms of the Yinxian Yamen should always be familiar, right? ”
Asked this, Mao Fengyi's expression was a little unnatural. He was going to brag about the important people he knew in the third class and six rooms, but he found that Wang Fulin's eyes seemed to go straight to the bottom of his heart, and he could see through some of his thoughts, so he couldn't help but dismiss his original plan, and said honestly: "I have a few words with the household official Liu Dian. In addition, I am also familiar with several bookstores in the torture room and the household room, and I have seen the head of the Qin class in the third class twice. ”
It's a completely unfamiliar rhythm at all!
Wang Fulin frowned, and he no longer had much hope for Mao Fengyi's connections in the yamen. But at this moment, he suddenly heard another sentence: "But I can talk to a relative next to Chen Xianzun!" ”
Seeing Mao Fengyi staring at him, Wang Fulin suddenly looked at Ye Xiaopang: "When did Chen Xianzun take office?" ”
Ye Xiaopang heard about the situation in Ningbo Mansion from his mother and two sisters, and he tried to think about it at the moment, and then he said uncertainly: "It seems to be this time last year?" A maximum of one year in office. ”
This question that he can obviously answer, but Wang Fulin does not ask himself, but asks others, Mao Fengyi can't help but be a little embarrassed. But the next moment, the question asked by the other party surprised him suddenly.
"How is Chen Xianzun's prestige in the county government, can he live in three classes and six rooms?"
With Ye Junyao's previous experience, coupled with the fact that he found out in Hangzhou Mansion that the dignified prefect of Shen Yuan could not completely control the situation below, Wang Fulin now has to have reservations about the status of the head of a county. found that Mao Fengyi's face was a little struggling, obviously the result should not be very good, he didn't force Mao Fengyi to give him a clear answer, but asked again: "Where is Chen Xianzun from, which subject of Jinshi, and what is the relationship with the big families in Ningbo?" ”
At this moment, if Mao Fengyi still doesn't notice that the fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man on the other side is very sophisticated, and he is not a little familiar with the affairs of the county government, but very familiar with it, then he is a pig's brain. He didn't dare to answer the previous question casually, but if he didn't deal with this question well, he was afraid that this so-called property division lawsuit would definitely not reach his hands. After thinking about it, he could only say cautiously: "Chen Xianzun is a native of Beizhili, a jinshi in the second year of Longqing, and has very little contact with various big families, and he doesn't hold various festivals with much fanfare during the New Year's holidays. ”
"It turned out to be a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing. Then he and the fourth master of the Ye family, who is now the official residence of Shexian County, are in the same year, so they have no contact? ”
How could Mao Fengyi know about this kind of thing, so she could only say sloppily: "You should know, but there are two or three hundred people in one subject, and you may not be too familiar with it." ”
Wang Fulin didn't expect to find out all the details of the Ye family's lawsuit from Mao Fengyi, the previous ones were just a trial of initial contact, although the result was not ideal, but there was still a little gain. So, he casually took out an ingot of silver from his waist and touched about three or four taels, and said: "I live at the intersection of Wumen Street, and this lawsuit in my hand can be handed over to you to act as an agent, but there is one, since you said that you are familiar with the person next to Chen Xianzun, then help inquire about Chen Xianzun's family situation, world friends, teachers and elders, anyway, the clearer the better, the sooner the better, it is best to have news this evening." In addition, what is the reaction of the Ningbo prefect, I will also inquire carefully. I won't say much about the specifics. ”
Seeing that Mao Fengyi hesitated for a moment, grabbed the silver with one hand, immediately agreed, and walked out of the teahouse quickly, Ye Xiaopang finally couldn't hold it back, got up and sat directly next to Wang Fulin, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wang, are you going to start from the government?" ”
"What's the matter, I don't know anyone in the government, I just inquired about the news in case of emergency!" Wang Fulin scolded with a smile, and then said softly, "Those characters in the third class and six rooms are the most stubborn and slippery, not something that can be impressed lightly, let's see if that Chen Xianzun can deal with it first." Let's go, let's go around the other places, and then hurry back, don't let your two sisters know our whereabouts, and turn back to surprise them." ”
Ye Xiaopang wished he could show off his skills, and he had no objection to this. Next, he took Wang Fulin to quietly visit a number of big households in Ningbo Mansion - of course, he only visited the door from a distance, and then told what he knew - until this moment, he was a little annoyed that he didn't pay much attention to these people's sophistication in the past, and his knowledge was very limited.
When Wang Fulin and Ye Xiaopang went back quietly, it wasn't until after lunch that Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei came back. Both sisters had bad faces. It turned out that Mrs. Su moved to the house where she married with her young son, and the second and third rooms of the Ye family's house were actually because of Ye Nineteen's instigation, and each family sent more than a dozen people to watch the surroundings of the house tightly, as if they were afraid that she would run away. As for the old lady of the Ye family, Ye Junyao's mother, it is said that no one has been seen in the inner house for several days. Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei inquired about the reactions of various big families in Ningbo, but found that most of them were watching the excitement, including several in-laws of the Ye family.
"I'm so angry, all of them are white-eyed wolves!" Back in the house, Xiaobei felt that all the fire in his stomach was holding back when he thought that Ye Mingyue was holding back and didn't let himself immediately try to climb over the wall to visit Mrs. Su, "Is it possible to watch them turn black and white upside down?" ”
"At such a time, what is the use of just qi? I'm not stopping you from going to see your mother, but if you want to go in, you have to go with all the best measures, otherwise you will only startle the snake. ”
Ye Mingyue smiled bitterly, feeling very bottomless for the first time in her heart. Since her father took the exam, waited for a vacancy in Beijing, and then took office in She County, she has been away from her hometown for three years. And my mother's maiden home is far away in Songjiang Mansion, and the whip is out of reach, so if she rushes to send the letter over, it will make things even bigger.
She thought about it, so she called Yan's mother in and asked her to see what Wang Fulin and her younger brother Ye Xiaopang were doing, but the results of Yan's mother's past inquiry made her speechless for a while.
"Wang Xiaoguan and the young master are learning about the art of making together."
At this moment, even Xiaobei almost choked on a sip of tea: "Compete in the art of making? Wang Fulin and Ming Zhao? One of them is inattentive to the imperial examination, and the other is eager to skip class all day, and suddenly he will be so studious? What about liars! No, I'll have to ask them what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd! ”
"Come back!"
As soon as Xiaobei arrived at the door, Ye Mingyue's voice came from behind: "Leave them alone!" ”
"Sister, it's not that you don't know, that guy has the most ghost ideas......" Xiaobei just said this, seeing a smile on the corner of Ye Mingyue's mouth, she suddenly realized, "Sister is saying that he must help our family anyway, if you want to worry, others should worry?" ”
"If only you were stupid!" Ye Mingyue stood up, smiled and smiled at the door of Xiaobei's head that walked back, and then she was a little expectant.
The Ye family's lawsuit over property sharing, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, what does Wang Fulin want to do? Having said that, a person who is so powerful as a mother has not moved before, is she sitting still, or is she still not moving? (To be continued......)
