In these years, the granaries of large families, for safety reasons, most of them will choose to be placed in the city, and the granaries of the Shao family are also built next door to the Shao Mansion, covering an area not inferior to the Shao Mansion. However, Shao Fang was suddenly imprisoned, and the once-glorious Shao family was still a place where everyone in Danyang City flocked to it as usual.

If it weren't for the fact that they came to arrest people this time were under the signboard of the guard, but in fact they were the elite of the Qi family's army, these people would definitely take the opportunity to make a big deal before leaving, but even if they were strictly guarded, the Shao family also lost a lot of gold and silver property.

Fortunately, grain, a clumsy and worthless thing, is not the first choice for coercing property, so when Wang Fulin and Lu Guangwu came to the granary with a few soldiers under the guidance of Ah Cai and Ah Wang, they saw the millet piled up into a hill in the granary, and Wang Fulin, who was also one of the big grain merchants in Huizhou, naturally felt quite excited. Yuanshui can't save the near fire, although Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei are already on their way back to Huizhou, and they may be able to organize grain merchants to transport grain to Huaiyang, but after all, it will be more than ten days and half a month. With the Shao family's 10,000 stone of grain, the initial urgent need can be solved.

After all, there is only water in Yangzhou, and the grain depot is still there, and the problem is that the grain from the towns and villages outside the city can be preserved. Then there is the question of whether some of the double-cropping paddy fields can catch up with the second season of sowing. Otherwise, the price of grain in the second half of the year will be sky-high.

Although Wang Fulin had already made it clear that he was not here for Shao Yi, Shao Fang was suddenly imprisoned, and seeing Wang Fulin showing joy in the face of the full warehouse of grain, Ngawang couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Ten thousand stones of grain are here, and doing business is about money and goods, what about money?" ”

"The deposit of one hundred taels of gold is at Lu Gongzi's." Wang Fulin saw Lu Guangwu patting the baggage he was carrying. Shao Fang's two companions relaxed slightly, and he continued, "As for the rest, I have the silver tickets entrusted by the salt merchants in Yangzhou, but because this is the ticket issued by the salt merchants and the gold and silver shops, I have to go to Yangzhou to exchange it." ”

"We are caged birds right now. Do you think we are the ones who can go to Yangzhou? Ah Caideng's expression was cold, and he remembered the past when Wang Fulin knocked Shao Fang hard at the Oiran Conference, "If you want to repay the debt, just say it!" ”

"It doesn't hurt if you believe it, the grain needs to be cleared, the ship is needed, and the manpower is needed, taking advantage of the luck, I will go to Changzhou Mansion to meet Shen Gongzi and ask him to go to Yangzhou with us. I think you should always trust this uncle, right? ”

Seeing that Wang Fulin didn't feel angry at all, but put forward such a suggestion, Ah Wang and Ah Cai couldn't help but feel a little happy. Since Shao Fang and Shen Yingkui's son-in-law fell out, Shen Yingkui has not come to Danyang again, and this time the change came extremely suddenly, because they were entrusted with Shao Yi, the only blood of the Shao family, they didn't dare to leave easily, and when they remembered that they should go to report to Shen Yingkui. I can't get out anymore. So they didn't know at all that most of the heroes and families who had escaped had been caught. Now the prison and squad room of the Danyang County Ya are full, and they are being interrogated by Zhang Jiayin's right-hand man.

"Okay, then we'll believe you once!"

Danyang is on the edge of the canal, if the canal has not overflowed before, then it is the most convenient distance to send grain to Yangzhou through the canal waterway. However, now the Huaiyang section of the canal is overflowing. Transporting grain has become a very difficult task, and what is even more fatal is manpower. However, after all, Wang Fulin and Lu Guangwu had stayed in Danyang for a while, and they got acquainted with Niu Si, the former machine tyrant, and now the Shao family is down. The Shaw Brothers Machinery Workshop was closed, and countless mechanics lost their jobs for a living, so they found Niu Siyi and said, and this person immediately patted his chest and took over the matter, and he organized hundreds of idle mechanics who had nothing to do in a moment.

For the sake of transportation capacity and safety considerations, from Danyang to Zhenjiang Fu Dantu until the Yangtze River crossed, still take the canal waterway, and wait for the Huaiyang flood situation after crossing the river, and decide whether to transfer by land or water. Because of this, considering that the displaced people fleeing the disaster might have different intentions when they saw the grain ships and grain trucks, even though they knew that Shen Yingkui should be more convinced of Lu Guangwu, Wang Fulin still entrusted the escort to Lu Guangwu, and he was ready to go to Changzhou more than 100 miles away to see Shen Yingkui the next day.

However, the next morning, he didn't have time to get on the road, and the Qi family soldier who led them into Shao Mansion yesterday hurriedly found the inn. After negotiating the matter of 10,000 stone of grain yesterday, Wang Fulin generously rewarded a few Qi family soldiers who accompanied him, and for the others who were guarding at the door, he ordered Danyang Pavilion to send a sumptuous meal, which could be regarded as a small woo. And in return, someone sent him a big unexpected news at this time.

"Wang Xiaoguan, the governor of Zhenjiang Mansion ordered someone to send a message, Shao Fang's evil words confuse the public, when the law is immediately corrected with the hearts of the people, the execution will be carried out today, so the hundred households sent me to inform them. By the way, Shao Fang's two previous companions on the sea fishing documents, Governor Zhang did not notice the omission for a while, and they will be escorted over this morning, and they will be sentenced to the ceremony. ”

The person who was just arrested yesterday is going to be killed today, and even Na Ngawang and Ah Cai are also killed?

To say that Shao Fang's master and servant are innocent of their deaths, they are not worthy of sympathy at all, but Wang Fulin does not believe that Zhang Jiayin alone and the governor of Yingtian will be so decisive, needless to say, this must be the meaning of Jingshi Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao. Now, of course, the alliance of the internal and external ministers will not be afraid that a mere Shao Fang may turn the tables, but just kill chickens and monkeys, and warn those idlers in the mountains and fields who are far away from the rivers and lakes but still do not forget their power and scheming in the future, and stop engaging in those sneaky reputations. In contrast, the landing of three human heads is nothing more than a small matter for a big man.

Last night, Lu Guang stayed at Niu Si's side, Wang Fulin was alone, after a moment of shock, he thanked the other party as if nothing happened, but the soldier did not say goodbye, but looked around, took two steps closer, and said in a low voice: "Didn't the little official pay back the deposit of one hundred taels of gold yesterday, this money has been ordered to be deducted by one hundred households, and it can be returned to the little official at any time." ”

I think that when the Qi family army fought the Japanese invaders, the military discipline was indeed quite strict, but then when I came to Fujian, it was not as good as before, and a small number of people from this elite were transferred to Jizhen, as the backbone of the retraining Jizhen army, the commander Qi Jiguang was still high-sounding in the open, and secretly rubbed oil, not to mention the pro-soldiers? After all, the food and salary given by the imperial court to these soldiers who fought for their lives on the battlefield were completely sorry for the risk of carrying their heads in their hands.

Wang Fulin knew that he couldn't be too demanding of the conduct of these soldiers, so he pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Since the Shao family is not blessed and the money is not mine, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and the military masters will take it and divide it." ”

The sergeant originally thought that Wang Fulin had been generous to them before, rewarded money, and sent good wine and food, plus Wang Fulin was hard-footed, and his uncle Wang Daokun was one of Qi Jiguang's rare friends and confidants among civil officials, so the first hundred households knew not to offend people because of a mere hundred taels of gold, and he would not be greedy. Now when he heard such a good thing, his first reaction was disbelief, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, and after a while, he agreed. Because of such a benefit, he naturally did not hesitate to provide a little more information.

"There's one more thing I forgot to tell the petty official. Shao Fang also has a three-year-old son left behind, entrusted to a family child and maidservant to take care of. I'm afraid the meaning of the top is ......"

Seeing the person cutting down with his palm, Wang Fulin immediately realized that it was a gesture to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Shao Fang's master and servant are certainly to blame, but who is a three-year-old child in the way who needs such a hot hand? He knew that with this little favor he had just established, it was impossible to ask these generals of the Qi family army to do something, so he simply sighed: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the Shao family is also to blame!" In this case, can you talk about how to dispose of the Shao family's property? ”

"Naturally, it was confiscated from the official." The sergeant even leaked out such a big news, of course this kind of trivial matter will not be hidden, "Governor Zhang has already sent his cronies to make a register of them. Of course, the 10,000 stone grain is not among them, and the horizontal and vertical is also for the relief of the victims of Huaiyang, compared with those fields, real estate, gold, silver, silk and silk, it is only a drop in the bucket, plus Shao Fang was also knowledgeable and interesting at the beginning, and advanced the time on the transaction documents by one day, at that time he had not been arrested, even the government could not stop this legitimate transaction. Of course, when Governor Zhang played the secret, he would have to explain it clearly. ”

No wonder people say that it is the county order of breaking the family, the order of destroying the door Yin, how majestic Shao Fang used to be, but now that he has lost power, the lives of his master and servant are not counted, and his son will be subjected to Zhulian, and all property will be confiscated, because the Shao family is offended by the most powerful person in the world except for the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces, or rather, in the current situation, the combination of Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao can manipulate the royal family at all!

Thanks to the sergeant's explanation and reminder, Wang Fulin did not delay any longer and immediately hurried on the road. This trip to Changzhou Wujin is only more than 100 miles in total, and the official road can be reached by galloping fast horses in one day. Although he was alone and refused Lu Guangwu to borrow his companionship, he brought his own dry food and drinking water, and when he rested, he was not with others, and he went smoothly along the way, and entered the Changzhou Mansion in the evening to govern and enter the city. The first time he came here, he asked where Shen Yingkui's family was, but it didn't take much effort. After all, Shen Yingkui, as a student of Changzhou Mansion, is outstanding, heroic and righteous, and has a good relationship with the official of Changzhou Mansion, and is very famous.

Not long after he asked someone to report in, Shen Yingkui actually came out with the porter in person, and when he saw him, he asked with a smile: "Brother Wang Xian is really hearted, this is specially coming to Changzhou to see me?" ”

Wang Fulin stared at Shen Yingkui for a long time, seeing that his words and deeds were quite relaxed, obviously not knowing what was going on, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"It's true that I came here to see Brother Shen on purpose, let's go into the house and talk!" (To be continued......)
