Chapter 67: A Night Visit to Liu Chaozi

Chapter 67 Night Visit to Liu Chaozi

"I'm not angry, I'm going to create this Gu Governor's rebellion!" Zhang Shuting nodded without hesitation and said, "If you don't give him some color, I'm afraid that Zhang Lianqi will rely on him in the future and ride on the necks of us people to and!" ”

Zhang Shuting didn't say this, Mr. Qi Zhankui and Mr. Zhang, including Lao Sun, thought that Zhang Shuting was just talking, but when they heard him say this, they heard that Zhang Shuting was not talking about fun, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

"The owner, you have to remember that the people don't fight with the officials, they fight back and forth, and in the end it's always us people who suffer!" When Mr. Zhang heard what Zhang Shuting said, he only shook his hand in fright and persuaded.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhang is right, if you want to say that Zhang Lianqi is hateful, it is hateful, but we can bear this tone or bear it. Besides, if the money is gone, we can still find a way to earn it back, and if someone makes a mistake, it can't be bought with money. Qi Zhankui listened to what Mr. Zhang said, and also persuaded him.

When Zhang Shuting heard this, he smiled faintly and said:

"Don't worry, I'm in control."

Seeing that Mr. Zhang and Qi Zhankui couldn't persuade him, Zhang Shuting said resolutely, and Lao Sun couldn't help but pat his mouth with regret and said:

"You also know the owner, my grandson's mouth has never been hidden, and he talks wherever he wants. I was also angry just now, so I said casually, don't take it seriously! ”

Zhang Shuting saw that Lao Sun was in a hurry, so he smiled lightly and said:

"I've said it all, I have my own measure, you don't have to worry!"

Everyone persuaded Zhang Shuting not to be impulsive, and everyone could discuss this matter slowly.

But in the end, Zhang Shuting still waved his hand at everyone, asking everyone to do what they should do. And he himself didn't go anywhere else, he went to the mouth of the retort, and he still did what he should do or continue to do.

For a while, everyone was even more confused, and they couldn't figure out how Zhang Shuting had his own way.

In this way, a day passed, and everyone saw that Zhang Shuting was on the pot, not going anywhere, and the stone hanging in his heart slowly fell to the ground.

But I never expected that when I stayed in the evening, it was just a day watch, and I saw Zhang Shuting quietly going out.

I saw Zhang Shuting go out of the house, so he went north along the small alley in front of the door, and when he walked out of a section, he turned eastward, and walked along a small alley to the east to the city street, and then crossed the city street again, and stopped under a gatehouse opposite the alley.

Look at the shop room next to the gatehouse here, if it is daytime, you can also see a wide wooden plaque at the door eyebrow of the shop, on which are written five black gold woodcut characters: "Xinyi Cheng Qian Zhuang".

To say that the money village here is not another money village, and it is Liu Chaozi's Xinyi Cheng money village, and the gatehouse here is not the gatehouse of other places, and the gatehouse of Liu Chaozi's house.

I saw Zhang Shuting come to the gatehouse, and then gently clicked the knocker on the door. With Zhang Shuting gently slamming the door, a soft door voice also came from the gatehouse:

"Who?"

"Me!" Zhang Shuting replied.

"Why are you here at this time, Shopkeeper Zhang?!" As the door opened, another question was heard in some surprise.

The person who listened to this question again was none other than Liu Chaozi, the shopkeeper of Xinyi City Qianzhuang.

I couldn't hear what Zhang Shuting said, so I saw that as Zhang Shuting walked into the gatehouse, the two doors were tightly closed.

All this, Zhang Shuting thought that he was a ghost, but what he never expected was that as soon as he left the house, he was followed, of course, the person who followed him was none other than Lao Sun.

Since several people discussed countermeasures to no avail, Zhang Shuting said that he wanted to rebel, and the old Sun Qi Zhankui and Mr. Zhang knew Zhang Shuting too well, and knew that if he didn't say it, it would be enough, that is, the person who said that he must do what he thought, saw that he said it so resolutely this time. For a while, the three of them had no bottom in their hearts.

Therefore, seeing that Zhang Shuting finished speaking, he went to Zongkou, and the three of them didn't have anything to do, and they secretly discussed, discussed and discussed, and there was no better way, and finally decided to ask Lao Sun to be responsible for monitoring Zhang Shuting's actions, on the one hand, to protect him, and if necessary, to find a way to stop him decisively.

Therefore, seeing Zhang Shuting quietly going out, Lao Sun, who had been hiding in the shadows early, also quietly followed. But not far away, I saw that Zhang Shuting didn't go anywhere else, but went to Liu Ranzi's house, which was not far from the pot, and my heart was even more bottomless. I can't think of what medicine Zhang Shuting wants to sell in this gourd.

It's just that Lao Sun knows where he knows that what he said in front of Zhang Shuting during the day did inspire Zhang Shuting a lot.

He clearly remembered that at that time, the Governor of Ansu City wanted to fine the merchants of Ansu City 100,000 taels of silver on the grounds that the people of Ansu City had burned down the gospel hall built by the foreign priests and killed the foreign priests, and posted a notice to urge them to collect it within one month.

In order to express his great indignation at this punishment, his father Zhang Genmao quietly connected the merchants in the city street, and took the lead in collectively closing the business the day after posting the notice, and for a while, the merchants responded one after another.

Seeing that the public was angry, in order to avoid another conflict and deepen the conflict, the department finally had to compromise and reverse the decision.

At this time, although it is not the year of Gengzi, the behavior of the county office at this time is even more hateful than the behavior of the power division of the year of Gengzi, and it should not increase the taxes of many merchants at the time of the catastrophe. Even the emperor of the Qing Dynasty did not have a precedent for increasing the taxes of the common people in the year of the catastrophe.

Zhang Shuting said that he had his own measure, that is, he wanted to learn from his father Zhang Genmao, and he also wanted to connect all owners and businesses to collectively close their businesses until they forced the governor of the county office to cancel the increase in surcharge.

For this reason, he also thought of Governor Gu's military punishment, or squatting in prison or being beheaded. But Zhang Shuting believes in the saying that public anger is difficult to commit.

At this time, although he knew that Liu Ranzi was an old slippery head and a mercenary master, he didn't ask others to come to Liu Ranzi alone, he also thought about it. On the one hand, from what he said yesterday morning, he knew that Liu Ranzi also opposed Governor Gu doing this, and on the other hand, he would tell Liu Ranzi that if this thing came to pass, he would borrow a sum of money from Liu Ranzi's "Xinyicheng" to buy sorghum overseas.

Therefore, he thought that even if Liu Ranzi didn't have the courage to do so, or opposed him doing this, he also thought that Liu Ranzi would never do anything too out of the ordinary, or secretly tell Governor Gu what they thought.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Shuting told Liu Chaozi about his thoughts, Liu Chaozi raised his hands in approval. At this time, Zhang Shuting knew that this Liu Chaozi also had a deep grudge with Zhang Lianqi outside the north gate. The reason why he agrees with this is almost the same as Zhang Shuting's thoughts.
