Chapter 20 Father-in-law, I will give you a great fortune
As Guo Ye said, this matter must not alarm Qin Wei, otherwise it will be very bad to startle the snake.
Immediately, after Pang Feihu expelled the others in the house, he conspired with Guo Ye to discuss how to make up the lost tax grain into the county granary in two days, and how to pry the stolen tax grain out of the mouths of Liu Laolai and Qin Wei.
After some secret discussions, the soldiers split into two ways.
Pang Feihu took the party Zhang Xiaoqi and a cadre of officials to continue to maintain their daily work in the city, maintaining a trembling look of the sky falling to hide people's eyes, especially to paralyze and relax Qin Wei's attention.
And Guo Ye was in danger, taking Cheng Erniu, fat and thin Toutuo, and Ruan Laosan to quietly rush to Dongliu Township to find out where Lizheng Liu Laolai hid the tax grain.
Guo Ye has reason to believe that it is absolutely impossible for Liu Laolai to transfer such a large amount of grain out of Dongliu Township in a short period of time, nor can he smuggle this batch of grain out of Dongliu Township and even Longxi County at this cusp.
Before leaving, Pang Feihu reprimanded Cheng Erniu, Ruan Laosan and others with righteous words, Guo Ye's order is his order, if he dares to disobey, he will automatically take off his official uniform and roll out of the yamen and get out of the soap class.
Pang Feihu's sentence can be regarded as completely establishing Guo Ye's status as the second-in-command in the soap class.
Along the way, Guo Ye took out the donkey from his home in Yauma Hutong, and went to Dongliu Township with Cheng Erniu and others.
Guo Ye's first stop in Dongliu Township did not choose to be in Lizheng Liu's family, but his father-in-law's family, the Wu family.
When I arrived at Wu's house, it was almost dusk, and the remote place in the countryside was no bigger than the county seat.
As soon as he entered the Wu family, Guo Ye was in front, and the other officials were behind, all of them were wearing soapy green uniforms, wearing square hats, and iron rulers in their waists, and they were violent.
So many people broke in so suddenly, and it really frightened the housekeeper Fubo.
Fu Bo wanted to scream in fright, but when he saw that the leader was his uncle Guo Ye, he immediately calmed down.
stepped forward and greeted Guo Ye and said, "Ah, it turned out to be you, uncle, so many people came in and thought that they were getting a fierce man, and they were scared." ”
Murderer?
Isn't your sister a bandit or a bandit?
Guo Ye rolled his eyes at Fu Bo, who spoke smoothly and did not turn, and did not care, and then commanded softly: "Fu Bo, please find a few vacant rooms and arrange for my colleagues." And ha, let the subordinates serve them with good wine and meat, but don't neglect them. ”
Fu Bo turned his head and looked at Cheng Erniu, all of them were servants, they were all people in the government, how could they dare to be lazy?
He even said that he knew, and pulled Guo Ye aside, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, these fierce and vicious people are all behind you, is it possible that they are all under your control?" ”
Belch......
Guo Ye was choked by Fu Bo's words, if he wanted to say that Cheng Erniu and the others were under his control, he couldn't say it, after all, he was just a small official now, and his name was not right.
But with his prestige in the soap class today, coupled with Pang Feihu's orders and entrustment, these people did obey his orders.
Guo Ye in his thoughts looked at Fu Bo's earnest eyes, Guo Ye had to nod and brag: "That's, now your uncle and I are also the second-in-command of the soap class, and more than a dozen big men under my hands are sent by me, how about it, majestic, right?" ”
When Fu Bo heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't find the north, squinted his eyes and nodded noncommittally and shouted: "Majestic, majestic, our Wu family finally has a person who eats imperial grain, energetic, energetic." ”
As he spoke, he walked to Cheng Erniu, Zhu Pengchun and the others, and led them to the guest room to rest.
At this time, Cheng Erniu and others were also stupid by the Wu family's compound, but they didn't expect that Brother Guo's father-in-law's family was still a big family in the township, and a rich man.
Tsk, it's really thin and long, no wonder Brother Guo is so open.
Especially Zhu Pengchun, who was already grinning happily, secretly praised himself for his unique vision and did not follow the wrong person.
After Cheng Erniu and the others were arranged by Fu Bo to go to the guest room and courtyard to drink and eat meat to rest, Guo Ye remembered his business.
Even if he couldn't find the lost tax grain, he had to find a way to make up the tax grain collected by Zhang Xiaoqi first, and then make up for it in the granary of the county government within two days.
But it was a hundred or so stone of grain, not as simple as one hundred and eighty catties, even if the silver on his body was shaken out, it was not enough to stuff his teeth.
came out of Dongliu Township, carrying fifteen taels of silver on his body, and has been spending it lavishly until now, Guo Ye reached into his sleeve and touched it, and there were almost five taels of broken silver left.
Damn, before this month arrived, I spent a year's salary of an ordinary servant, which is really fucked up.
Money is a hero's courage, and if you don't have money in your pocket, you can't stand on your feet even if you pee at night.
Guo Ye wondered in his heart, whether to wait for everything to stabilize and calm down, and think about how to earn more silver to subsidize his life.
But the most urgent problem at present is how to replenish the grain of 100 or so stones within two days.
Guo Ye knew that he couldn't solve it, but it didn't mean that his father-in-law, Wu Mao, couldn't solve it.
What does the Wu family do?
For several generations, they have been big landlords with strong roots, and they have made a fortune by renting fields to collect rent and grain, and their families lack everything, but they are not short of food.
It seems that I can only beat the idea of my iron rooster father-in-law.
Immediately, Guo Ye strode forward and walked towards the lobby in the front yard of the Wu family, at this time, his father-in-law must be drinking tea in the lobby and reading the account books.
After a while, Guo Ye walked into the lobby.
Glancing at the lobby by the faint candlelight, sure enough, my father-in-law was sitting on a chair and dipping his index finger in saliva while rummaging through the old accounts.
Guo Ye looked at the dim lobby under the faint candlelight, and couldn't help but despise Wu Maocai in his heart, what a slam on the door, if you light one more candle, you will die?
"Father-in-law!"
Guo Ye called out coldly.
Let's go!
Wu Maocai was so frightened that his palms trembled, and the account book in his hand fell to the ground, and then he looked at the entrance of the hall with palpitations, and saw that it was his cheap son-in-law, Guo Ye.
Yo, Wu Maocai was also a little surprised when he saw Guo Ye, the Quartet was soapy and green, and the small iron ruler was inserted in his waist, the boy was good, he was energetic enough.
Then he nodded slightly at Guo Ye, then bent down to pick up the account book and put it on the table, and asked, "Who am I, it turns out to be a virtuous son-in-law, good guy, as soon as you wear this yamen official uniform, the old man will almost not recognize you." ”
Guo Ye stepped forward and bowed slightly to Wu Maocai, and then asked loudly, "Father-in-law has been in good health recently?" I haven't seen you for a while, but I really want to annoy my son-in-law. ”
A father-in-law, a son-in-law, Wu Maocai, who is called, is stunned, and there is always a weasel to the chicken to greet the New Year - there is no feeling of good intentions.
Then while praising in his mouth, he motioned for Guo Ye to sit down, and muttered in his heart, as long as you bastard don't come back, Lao Tzu's body is better than anything else.
After Guo Ye sat down, Wu Maocai raised Erlang's legs and asked: "Guo Ye, it's already dusk, you are not on duty in the yamen, you are not staying in the county, why did you run back to Dongliu Township?" ”
Guo Ye looked at Wu Maocai's cautious appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that it is really not ordinary to pluck the feathers of this iron rooster.
Then he re-read what he wanted to say, and then moved the chair with his butt to approach Wu Maocai step by step, approached the other party mysteriously, and said softly: "Father-in-law, do you want to bring down the Liu family and let the Liu family get out of Dongliu Township completely?" ”
Belch?
Wu Maocai was stunned, why didn't he want to, he thought, the Liu family and the Wu family have been fighting for decades, and he Wu Maocai dreamed of killing the father and son of the Liu family's tortoise bastard.
But Guo Ye, this kid, said this without beginning or end, and Wu Maocai still felt unsteady in his heart.
What is it called? This is called that there must be demons when things go wrong, Guo Ye, this kid must not hold back any good fart.
Seeing that Wu Maocai was moved, but he didn't express his position for a long time, Guo Ye had to take another fierce medicine.
cleared his throat, and then said to Wu Maocai: "Father-in-law, don't say that your son-in-law has good things and doesn't take care of your old man." Today, I am specially sending you a great fortune! ”
A great fortune?
Wu Maocai suddenly came to his senses, and his eyes, which were as small as mung beans, suddenly opened wide, as big as a bull's eye.
