Chapter 174: The Story of Abandoning the Darkness and Turning to the Light and the Chili Pepper (Part 3)
Not to mention that Zheng Bantou bumped into Fang Xiancheng who signed the hall in front of him yesterday evening, and then argued with Wu Siyi in the court, how hateful that face was, just said that this person is now taking something he designed and packaged as a gift, Wang Fulin can't give a good face. So, after glancing at Zheng Bantou and these soaps, he yawned with a smile.
"Is it too late to cram?"
Zheng Bantou didn't expect Wang Xiaoguan to be so straightforward, and his smiling face suddenly froze. He subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, but at this time Wang Fulin was half lying on the bed, unable to hug his thighs, he could only howl twice: "Little official, please also have a large number of adults, you must save a few of our brothers, we are all old and young, just rely on the wages of the yamen to live, if you lose your job, the small family of more than a dozen people will go to drink the northwest wind!" โ
Old tricks, nothing new!
Wang Fulin plucked his ears impatiently. Seeing his attitude, the others behind Zheng Bantou also knelt down in hula, and their expressions were so pitiful and pitiful. Seeing that he didn't react, Zheng Bantou took two steps on his knees, grabbed the ground along the bed with both palms, and said sincerely: "The little one definitely doesn't want to go against the county and the little officials, it's all โ Wang Shangxuan, the third old lady of the Wang family, who sent someone to pick it up!" He also said that since the county took office, he has made a bold move against the three classes and six rooms, if the small ones can't seize the opportunity this time, the next time they will be taken down are the small people! He also said that if he was replaced by Shu Tuiguan as the county magistrate, he would have a good life! โ
So that the clue closes. Even if Shu Tuiguan doesn't want to continue to look at people's faces in the mansion. In addition, he has a deep hatred for Ye County. He alone couldn't instigate that Qian Observation, and with the Wang family behind him, he was able to promote this matter. It's just that if you are like a ghost, you will also drink my footwashing water!
"Well, go ahead."
Seeing that Wang Fulin's jaw moved slightly, Zheng Bantou only felt that there was still a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly continued: "Old lady Wang has been sent back since he fainted on the champion tower that time. I heard that I was looking for a doctor and asking for medicine, but I haven't returned to my hometown in Zhuchuan yet, this matter must be the revenge of the Wang family! These little characters are just being used as guns! The little one is now awake and willing to take the lead in the bad deeds of the Wang family......"
"That's enough." Wang Fulin shouted, but he didn't have the slightest posture of righteousness and strictness, but was a little lazy, "Old lady Wang was born as a craftsman, and when he was young, he remarried with his mother, and his surname was Cheng for a time. Later, he changed his surname after the imperial examination. And he is known as a non-powerful person. There is good governance in all places, and the reputation in the countryside is not bad. At least, I haven't heard of taking people's land, and I haven't heard of bullying men and women, these two bad deeds have to be collected, I believe that of course they are collected, but is it meaningful? โ
Since they are fellow villagers and have the same surname, even if it is really a deep hatred, Wang Fulin also believes that if he listens to Zheng Bantou's demagoguery, goes to find out some of the bad deeds of the children of Wang Shangning's family, and then asks Ye Junyao to interrogate in Dali, then he absolutely believes that in the end, Ye Daxian Zun will not only not get the reputation of Qingtian, but may smash the black yarn hat! After all, a person who has served as a high-ranking official at the level of governor and political envoy always has so many old ones! Even Wang Daokun, who was calculated by Wang Shangning again and again, didn't put his mind on searching for bad deeds.
Because Songming Mountain Wang's may not necessarily be so clean that the water is clear and there are no fish, and there is no sediment at all!
"So, you're talking nonsense. If that's all there is to it, then I'm sorry, I still have to recuperate, you can go. โ
Seeing that Zheng Bantou's whole person froze there, the other soaps looked at each other, and they all had an extremely bad feeling. Suddenly, someone opened up and said: "Little official, there is one more thing to mention!" Among the group of people who went to Yidian to make trouble before, some of them were gathered by those grain merchants in Xiuning, and some of them were found by Wang Youmin, the grandson of the third old lady of the Wang family! โ
That's pretty much it!
Wang Fulin held a bed board, immediately sat up straight, and then commanded without doubt: "If you can find out all the troublemakers that Wang Youmin is looking for, and confirm that there is such a connection in the middle, even if it is not Wang Youmin, but the Wang family, yesterday in the evening hall Zheng Bantou you contradicted Fang Xiancheng, I can go and ask the county to be not to blame." If you can't find it, just release the news you said. Let people know that when the people had no way to sell grain, the Zhuchuan Wang family refused to make a move, not only that, but when they found that the Yidian was booming, they were resentful, and they also colluded with people from other five counties to pit their own stores! โ
Zheng Bantou was like being amnestied and hurriedly agreed. When he left the room with the other soaps, he couldn't help but glance at the young soap who broke the deadlock with admiration, thinking that this kid really had a future. But thinking of his experience of saying something in front of Wang Fulin and being refuted, he couldn't help but touch his neck again, and for the first time he considered whether he should study and figure out the powerful combat power of Wu Siyi. If he can't learn, he really hasn't had any good fruit to eat halfway!
For the next three whole days, in the righteous shop next to the levy warehouse, the farmers who came to redeem the grain, and then went to Wu Xingcai and other Xiuning grain stores to sell it, were in an endless stream from beginning to end. And the most funny situation is that a group of people came together, and the money they pooled together first redeemed a batch of grain and went there to sell it, and when the money arrived, they came here to redeem the second batch, and went back and forth, and the villagers went back happily together. So just three days later, the grain merchant alliance could not stand the negative impact of such a price increase.
The Yidian side may have only increased the workload, the difference between a stone of grain and a penny of silver, and a few hundred stones only made a few taels of difference, but they couldn't afford to toss, especially if they had more silver, they would have a bad reputation. Moreover, everyone knew that the Yidian side could be redeemed in this way, and the people of the six counties who had just entered the city to sell grain, even in the face of the same price, almost all chose to sell the grain they had worked so hard to sell there. Coming and going, they just gave more money for nothing, subsidizing those villagers who were excited after seeing the price difference!
So, the grain merchants who couldn't sit still finally came to the door together to ask for a meeting, hoping to reach a compromise with Wang Xiaoxiu. Although this battle was really aggrieved, the grain merchants were not completely unconfident. They have been in business for many years and have abundant capital, but Wang Fulin's family is said to be in debt, and this time they just scraped together some silver from various big families, how much money can they have? If Wang Fulin insisted on continuing to do this, they wouldn't mind giving him a little bit of a look at the next rice harvest and even spring sowing!
However, they regrettably pounced on the air, the Wang family was actually the iron general, and there was no one to answer.
Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei were invited by Ye Mingyue to go to Taiping Xingguo Temple in Xiganshan to "repay their wishes" today, Wang Fulin did not go by himself, but recommended that Liu Hui, the household secretary, take a leave after the morning hall, bring his daughter-in-law Liu Hong's together, and give them a guide, and by the way, they also have a good rest for a day, which is a rare relaxation after the summer tax. And Master Li is about to leave, Jinbao and Qiu Feng plus Ye Xiaopang, and the three of them accompanied Master Li to Huiwen. Ye Qinglong, the big shopkeeper, will not leave the Yidian for half a step now. As for Wang Xiaoguan, although the injured right foot has not healed, it is always okay to sit on the sliding pole, so the sedan chair driver followed, and there was no one in the Wang family.
And even if Wang Fulin knew that the grain merchants came to see him together, compared to the big news that Cheng Naixuan brought him, he would take care of that one without hesitation. At this moment, when he sat in Cheng Naixuan's room full of books, his eyes were completely ignored by those elegant furnishings and a dazzling array of books, only staring at the bag of familiar things that he had not seen for a long time. After a while, he finally couldn't help but step forward and scoop one in his hand, not caring that it was all dried, so he broke it in half and put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
As a spicy smell rushed to his mind, a relieved smile finally appeared on his face - after four or five months, the first thing he found was chili!
Although Wang Fulin's foodie nature has long been determined, seeing his intoxicated expression, Cheng Naixuan still couldn't help but joke: "Hey, do you want this look, this is not a valuable thing, just a few peppers, and a big bag at the back, adding up to less than two taels of silver, it is said that this was brought by a group of sailors, I heard that someone wanted it, and they sold it without saying a word." If it weren't for my father's acquaintance who brought this thing, it would have been just back to his hometown, otherwise your thing wouldn't be as expensive as the road fare! โ
"It's expensive and cost-effective!"
Wang Fulin's heart turned around from boiled fish, kung pao chicken, red stewed yellow eel, stir-fried meat, mapo tofu, dry pot fragrant dried and other favorite Sichuan and Hunan dishes of the year, and almost even saliva came out. Moreover, he clearly remembered that even if it was this kind of sun-dried pepper, there was a high chance that it would germinate and bear fruit when the seeds were removed, that is, he had to be careful when pollinating. So, he immediately praised Cheng Naixuan's efficiency, then rubbed his chin and muttered thoughtfully: "I remember that when I went to Huangshan in the past, the locals seemed to like spicy food......"
Hearing everyone say something they didn't understand, Cheng Naixuan was speechless. But what he didn't expect was still to come, Wang Fulin glanced at the small bag of dried chili peppers, and said mysteriously: "Can you borrow it from your small kitchen?" โ
Master Cheng left abruptly this time, just like when he came back before, quietly. Since this suppressed mountain is gone, Cheng Naixuan has naturally become a tyrant in the family. His first two sisters were all married, and the only uncle took his family directly to Fujian to do business, so his grandmother and mother were quite indulgent to him, and Wang Fulin's small request was certainly not a problem. However, when the oil pot was together, the small kitchen, from the servant woman in charge of the kitchen, to the cook lady or the little girl who burned the fire, all of them were choked and escaped, and they stood in the yard coughing all the time.
As for Cheng Naixuan, who watched the excitement, he was the first wolf bรจi to escape. At this moment, he looked at the kitchen and saw that Wang Fulin still hadn't come out of it, and he was clearly still concocting things there, he couldn't help but admire it, but he didn't dare to go back to watch the excitement.
The sage said that a gentleman is far away from cooking, which is absolutely reasonable!
