"How did you come back! It just so happened that my father bought osmanthus duck, come and eat it! Tang Xiucai greeted him cordially, and quickly put duck, pig's head meat, vinegared edamame, and preserved eggs on the side dishes.

"By the way, and wine!" Tang Xiucai took down a casserole from the stove, with a small half pot of rice wine in it, poured a bowl for Tang Yi, and said with a smile: "Add some ginger shreds and plums, just drink it in autumn to warm your stomach." ”

Not to mention, Dad will enjoy it, Tang Yi picked up the wine bowl, took a sip lightly, and stretched out his thumb, and suddenly Tang Xiucai smiled, not to mention how happy. He poured himself a bowl of wine, ate edamame, and ate it deliciously.

"Yi'er, how's the matter at the docks?"

"Give." Tang Yi casually took out the silver ticket and stuffed it into his father's hand. Tang Xiucai said with a smile: "Yi'er, don't let people deceive you, what you gave you is treasure money, that thing is not worth much!" ”

"Hmph, you can't see it yourself."

"Indeed, you must see, you must not be bullied by people...... What the? Tang Xiucai was so frightened that he squirted out a mouthful of wine, but fortunately he turned his head in time, otherwise the table of dishes would have been wasted.

Tang Yi said dissatisfiedly: "Are you old? ”

"How not! Stinky boy, two hundred taels, it can't be fake! Tang Xiucai was a little nervous, took the oil lamp, looked at it carefully, rode the seam pattern, endorsed the ticket number, and kept it secret, and redeemed the ticket when he saw it, and there was no shortage of what should be there.

"It's true! How did you make so much money in such a few days. Say, do you kid turn stones into gold, or are you kidnapped? ”

Tang Yi was speechless, and roared angrily: "You can't think of something good!" ”

"I, I don't believe that a serious business can make so much money!"

"You're right!" Tang Yi smiled: "But it has nothing to do with me, it's Lei Qi." ”

"Which Lei Seven? How I haven't heard of it. ”

You stay at home every day, and you can hear a few people. Tang Yi had no choice but to tell his father what had happened and what he had done. Tang Xiucai listened silently, his mouth was wide open, and he could stuff duck eggs into it.

"Yi'er, so Lei Qi was cheated by his wife? As the saying goes, a hundred years of repair can be crossed in the same boat, and a thousand years of repair can be slept together. Isn't that the case? ”

Tang Yi let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "Lei Qi's wife seems to have relatives who are officials in the Yamen, they should be a combination of interests, and there is no emotion in the first place. Lei Qi is now looking for evidence everywhere, and he wants to send his wife to prison! Give me two hundred taels of silver, but in fact, more than half of it is hush money. ”

"I see." Tang Xiucai suddenly realized, suddenly his face changed again, and he asked anxiously: "Yi'er, you help Lei Qi settle the account, will he let you be a witness?" Immortals fight mortals and suffer, you can't go! ”

Tang Yi burst into tears, Dad, you are finally smart!

"There's nothing wrong with your concerns, so we're going to move out quickly."

"Where are you going?"

"Of course it's Taicang."

"Hey, Lei Qi is in Taicang, let's go back?"

Tang Yi smiled: "Haven't you heard that Da Yin is hidden in the city, there are two or three hundred thousand people in Taicang Prefecture, how can Lei Qi find us so easily, but in Liuhe Fort, people are looking for one." ”

"Yes, yes, we must hurry up." Tang Xiucai said uneasily: "Yi'er, this kind of property lawsuit is never a trivial matter, when your grandfather was still there, he encountered it many times, and he was killed. ”

"Wouldn't it? So serious? Tang Yi was also a little surprised, although the Ming Dynasty did not govern, but it would not be necessary to check the accounts and die!

Tang Xiucai looked serious and said: "Yi'er, no matter what, Dad can't take risks, if you make a mistake, Dad won't be able to live!" ”

Although Dad is not smart, his experience is not bad, and Tang Yi did not dare to be careless, so he nodded hurriedly.

"You always arrange, and the children listen to you."

Tang Xiucai calmed his face, turned back and forth on the ground a few times, and said: "Yi'er, let's leave tomorrow morning, I will go to the two of Zhu's shopkeepers now, return the house, and let them help find a suitable carriage." ”

Tang Xiucai is really an anxious child, he didn't want to live for a long time, the two of them have four hundred taels of silver in their pockets, although it is not enough to ride a crane to Yangzhou, but it is no problem to live a solid life. Even if there is no matter of Lei Qi, he will have to move out in the next few days.

Dad hurriedly went downstairs, Tang Yi was not idle, and cleaned up the things on the bamboo floor, in fact, there was nothing, just a change of clothes, plus half a box of books, and the rest were all tattered, and it was too much of a hindrance to take them.

Before dawn the next day, the two of them got up to wash, and at this moment, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside, Tang Yi opened the door of the building and saw that it was Zhu Shopkeeper who came, followed by two swarthy and sturdy young men behind him.

Shopkeeper Zhu smiled at Tang Yi, turned around and let the two young men look at the carriage, and he hurriedly ran up.

"Master Tang, little minister."

"Uncle Zhu, I've worked hard for you, I've relied on you to take care of me for a year, and Tang Yi thanked you on behalf of my father."

Tang Xiucai has a fame, and he can only let his son replace him. The shopkeeper Zhu hurriedly said: "I can't do it, I can't help it, I don't want to hide it, I have something to ask you and Tang Ye!" ”

"Just say it."

The shopkeeper Zhu looked downstairs, pointed to the two young people and said: "Little Xianggong, these two boys are my sons, the eldest is Zhu Shan, and the second is called Zhu Hai, a pair of stuffy gourds, I don't understand anything." But you have the strength to be honest, you and Tang Ye are both decent people, you need to run errands around you, move things, take care of the home or something, these two boys will be handed over to you. ”

Tang Xiucai was also taken aback, he just asked the shopkeeper Zhu to find a carriage yesterday, how did he send his two sons?

"Brother Zhu, you are all innocent white families, how can you let your children be housekeepers for others, I can't accept it!"

Seeing Tang Xiucai's refusal, the shopkeeper Zhu's face turned red in a hurry, looked at Tang Yi pitifully, and said, "Little Xianggong, you can help say a few words!" ”

When Tang Yi heard the news, his brows frowned slightly, but after thinking about it, he suddenly understood the reason.

You must know that the Ming Dynasty is a privileged society, the higher the fame of the scholar, the greater the privilege, just the official gentry immune tax exemption, tempting countless poor people to sell themselves to take refuge. You don't see that after each township test, Suzhou government will have to reduce thousands of acres of taxable land, which is the so-called contribution.

As the so-called early investment and early income, the Tang family's father and son have obviously transferred during this time. And Tang Yi's intelligence is even more amazing, he casually found a way for them to make money, it is definitely a super potential stock, and it may not be to what extent in the future!

Hurry up and send the little cub away, the benefits are guaranteed, and it is better to send charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake. It's really time for people to be developed, even if they want to send it, they can't send it in.

From the expression of the shopkeeper Zhu, Tang Yi keenly read his thoughts, but the two of them happened to lack helpers at this time, and the Zhu brothers came just in time.

Tang Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Dad, Uncle Zhu and we are friends, how can the two brothers be our servants!" You might as well let the two brothers follow us, usually teach them to read and write, and wait for a year or two, the two brothers have another way out and then let them, what do you think? ”

"This ......" Tang Xiucai was still groaning, but the shopkeeper Zhu hurriedly shook his head and agreed: "That's it!" ”

The three fathers and sons of the Zhu family helped and loaded the two wooden boxes into the carriage, Zhu Shan drove the car in front, and Tang Yi and his son went out of the alley. I didn't take a few steps when I was greeted by a person. Fortunately, Zhu Shan pulled the livestock, otherwise he would have crashed.

"Master, what are you?"

Wu Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted. Tang Yi asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" Wu Tiancheng's face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Master, I secretly found someone on the dock to drink last night, guess what, I knocked on the side and found out that Lei Qi's wife is the niece of Judge Hu Bin, that is the official from the seventh grade!" If he knew who helped Lei Qi settle the accounts, would there be good fruits to eat! I packed a package overnight, and I wanted to come to the master to talk to me, and then I went to the state city. Anyway, I'm alone, and I've learned so much from my master, so I can't be an accountant. ”

After Tang Yi listened to his words, he couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up, no matter whether it was the Zhu family or Wu Tiancheng, they were all good at pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and sometimes the wisdom of small people should not be underestimated!

"Let's go together, let's get in the car!" Tang Yi said with a smile.
