Chapter 208: Gratitude and Kindness
Someone visiting? Ren Siqi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, it must be those shopkeepers who are trying to get back the goods that were stolen by the pirates. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The main hall of the Yamen of the Inspection Department has been cleaned, Ren Siqi sat down after the central case, Li Xingjiu and Xiong Er pressed the knife to separate the left and right, and asked the person to be brought to the lobby at the moment.
The money shopkeeper walked slowly to the lobby of the inspection department, and a guy followed behind with a four-color gift.
When I entered the lobby, I saw Ren Siqi sitting behind the desk in a nine-grade official uniform, and two big men standing with knives on both sides.
Want to give me a kick? The shopkeeper Qian was dumbfounded, and walked into the lobby calmly, as a member of Qian Qianyi's clan, a small Jiupin inspection was not in his eyes.
"I've seen the inspector in Xia Qianbin!" The money shopkeeper casually hugged his fists and said in a manly voice.
Ren Siqi nodded silently, and motioned to Xiong Er to move a chair for him.
"Your surname is Qian? Not from Ningbo, right? Ren Siqi smiled and said, since it has been decided to occupy Cen Gang, then the details of the shops in Hong Kong must be understood one by one.
"I am a constant acquaintance below, and Mu Zhaigong, the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is an uncle in the lower hall." The shopkeeper said reservedly, Qian Qianyi's name is known to everyone in Jiangnan, and he believes that Ren Siqi must know.
It turned out to be Qian Qianyi's family! For Qian Qianyi, whether it is in the previous life or in this life, Ren Siqi has heard that the thirty-eighth year of Wanli, the leader of the Donglin Party, Chongzhen was a waiter in the first year of the Ministry of Rites, and after being dismissed, he wrote countless poems and articles, and his literary name shocked Jiangnan, and Liu Ru, one of the four famous prostitutes in Jiangnan two years ago, made countless literati envious and hateful. According to the development of history, Qian Qianyi would become the secretary of the Southern Ming Rite Department of King Fu, and then after the Qing soldiers crossed the river, Liu Ru persuaded him to throw himself into the river and die for the Ming Dynasty, but he replied "The water is too cold".
Ren Siqi didn't have a good impression of these gentry. The reason why the Ming Dynasty fell into the state of extinction was that in addition to natural disasters, more man-made disasters were man-made. And the gentry is a kind of man-made disaster, and a large part of the reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty is attributed to the gentry.
The so-called gentry, that is, the scholar who has made a name for himself or above, becomes an official after passing the entrance examination, and becomes a gentry when he returns home after being dismissed. Because they have meritorious fame, they have many privileges, and they do not pay taxes on farming, let alone serve forced labor. Relying on their own identity, the gentry wantonly encroached on the land, and seventy percent of the fields in the world were in the hands of the gentry, and they did not have to pay taxes, while the remaining three percent of the fields were burdened by the entire Ming Dynasty, the most greedy and innocent gentry in the world. Take Qian Qianyi as an example, there are thousands of acres of land in Suchang, but he is still secretly engaged in smuggling business. But when the Ming Dynasty fell, it was just a matter of not being loyal to the country, and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in a blink of an eye.
In his heart, he despised Qian Qianyi's personality very much, and Ren Siqi naturally did not mince words about Qian Qianyi.
"It turned out to be Mu Zhaigong's family, I don't know what to look for?" Ren Siqi asked directly.
I thought that Ren Siqi would be shocked and sincerely frightened when he heard Qian Qianyi's name, but he didn't expect him to settle like that, which made the shopkeeper Qian was shocked, could it be that Qian Qianyi's name is not good? But he didn't believe it, because Ren Siqi had a nine-grade inspection, and compared with Qian Qianyi, it was the difference between ants and giant trees!
"When I came down to visit the inspector, I thanked the inspector for saving his life, and then asked the inspector to return the inferior goods." The money shopkeeper was no longer polite, and directly made a request.
"Return the goods? Where to start! How will your goods end up in my hands? Ren Siqi pretended to be surprised.
"Why bother me, Lord Inspector, when you attacked Cen Harbor, didn't you capture five pirate ships, and those loaded were our goods."
"Oh, we just captured a few pirate ships, let's not say if there is cargo on board, but I don't understand, how is it your cargo on board? Are you not in league with pirates? Ren Siqi asked with a calm face.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's obvious that the pirates robbed our goods, how can we be with the pirates!" The money shopkeeper said angrily.
"That's it, since the pirates have robbed you of your goods, then you are looking for pirates to go, what are you talking about here with me?" Ren Siqi said impatiently.
"You, you, you," the money shopkeeper stood up angrily, pointed at Ren Siqi and shouted: "You still dare to be greedy for our goods, and you don't inquire, which one of the owners behind us can you afford to provoke!" You are just a small patrol, a sesame mung bean big official, you are in a hurry, I wrote a letter to my cousin, and picked up your official uniform! ”
"Bastard, dare to shout at Xiucai!" Xiong Er, who was standing on the side, was angry, stepped forward, slapped the money shopkeeper in the face, and the money shopkeeper turned around in a circle, and spit out two teeth with a "poof".
"Qi, Qi dare to hit me!" The money shopkeeper covered his face, looked at Xiong Er incredulously, and his words leaked.
"I admit that your cousin Lord Qian is very powerful, but you have to make one thing clear, this is Cen Gang, Cen Gang, who has just experienced pirate robbery, you said that if you die here, does your cousin know that I did it?" Ren Siqi stopped Xiong Er, who was going to continue beating him, and said coldly to the money shopkeeper.
Listening to Ren Siqi's words, the money shopkeeper was stunned, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water in winter, and his whole body trembled. This, this, if this surnamed Ren really harmed himself, no one would know about it on this desert island.
"Lord Inspector, I have no eyes, nonsense, you spare me!" The money shopkeeper knelt down all of a sudden, slapped himself again and again, and sobbed and pleaded.
"Hehe, where did your goods go?" Ren Siqi asked with a smile.
"My goods, my goods have been robbed by pirates." The money shopkeeper lowered his head and said, he didn't dare not bow his head under the eaves.
"Hehe, that's right, the pirates robbed you of your cargo, and I rescued you from the pirates. To be a man, you have to know how to repay your kindness, do you think this is the truth? ”
The money shopkeeper said yes with a smile on his face, and after getting Ren Siqi's consent, he lowered his head and retreated.
"My lord, I'm going to kill him!" Li Xingjiu said to Ren Siqi, and gestured with his palm on his neck.
"Forget it, let him go." Ren Siqi said lightly. If it was a peaceful season, Ren Siqi naturally wouldn't dare to offend a person like the shopkeeper, but now, on March 18, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, today, Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, and tomorrow, Emperor Chongzhen will hang himself on the coal mountain. The Ming Dynasty is coming to an end, and troubled times are coming.
In this troubled era, a soldier is the king of grass, how can Ren Siqi take care of these gentry anymore! (To be continued.) )
