Weng Shaoshan was a little surprised. The purpose of his search for people was to disperse the mob in Songjiang with violence, not directly to Xu Jie's family property. The current situation is very clear, there is no need to directly target the Xu family, and its own government will handle this matter. But the news that Songjiang came back was that the Xu family's shop and slave residence were burned down, but there was no mention of the mob obstructing the official mission.

Unexpectedly, Weng Shaoshan began to be wrapped in uneasiness.

Those people who fight are taking people's money and people to eliminate disasters, and they will definitely not be kind enough to give favors such as arson and killing. Now this kind of thing has happened, is it because the people who sent it did not make it clear, or did the people who did it make their own decisions, or did someone secretly set it up?

Weng Shaoshan has been a businessman for decades, and he doesn't like to use this kind of hooligan. It's not that he has a high moral standard, it's just that businessmen don't like to work with people who lack integrity. Even Xu Yuanzuo is the same, so he will recruit retired veterans to form a nursing team. Weng Shaoshan was hindered by his identity, so he didn't take this move, and he could only find a way to play when he encountered a situation that was really needed.

"Hongji, you go to Huating again and see what happened." Weng Shaoshan summoned his nephew and secretly instructed him: "If there is anything wrong, immediately withdraw and leave." Don't go back to Suzhou, there must be their eyes and ears on the way. Go directly to Huzhou and take a detour back. ”

Weng Hongji didn't think it had anything to do with it, he was taken care of by his uncle like this, and he was timid in his heart, and he wanted to find a reason not to go, but unfortunately his brain was not bright, and he didn't come up with a suitable reason for half a day. Where would Weng Shaoshan care about his nephew's feelings, and had already ordered someone to go to the account office to give him silver.

Weng Hongji had to rush to Huating with his burden on his back, and began to struggle with an old question: should he live in a "Youjia Inn"?

If you want to have an easy road, you must choose an inn. With the rise of franchise stores, an inn has been opened in Suzhou. Some merchants are interested in the traffic line of an inn, and after joining, they mainly sell goods; Some of them are large households in Suzhou for the convenience of travel, and at the same time sell favors. So I'm happy to join.

Weng Hongji really wants to live in a home conveniently, as long as he brings a change of clothes. But is this considered a rival? His heart was torn up. In the end, he decided to live in a home, but he didn't want a suite, but lived in a standard room, so that even if he was a rival, he didn't have much money. What's more, there are rumors in the market that a standard room with a home is going to lose money. It's all about making money in the suite business. This made Weng Hongji particularly pleased.

It's just that Weng Hongji didn't know that this rumor in the market was a means of marketing, which made people think that they had taken advantage of it, mainly to attract middle and low-level businessmen to move in. In fact, how can a standard room not make money? If you really want to calculate the profit margin per square meter, I'm afraid it will be higher than that of suites.

What Weng Hongji didn't know was that even if it was a franchise store, Xu Yuanzuo would have to install a "supervisor". Nominally, it is to supervise the standardized operation of the inn, but in fact, it is also a pair of eyes placed in the local area. The important guests are all registered, who is small, who went to a certain place on a certain day of the month, or met someone at the inn. It's all in the sight of these overseers.

Everything in the Weng family is in Xu Yuanzuo's field of vision, and it is not an empty word. This is also the "eyes and ears" that Weng Shaoshan is most worried about, but unfortunately Weng Hongji didn't take it to heart.

Xu Yuanzuo originally decided to close the net within three days, but knowing that Weng Hongji was going to come to Huating, he simply waited for him for two more days. At that time, the arrest of people in Huating can more convincingly prove the role of the Weng family in this turmoil - although from the perspective of the rule of law in later generations, this is a clear planting, lacking the support of logic and evidence chain. But no one cares about that right now.

It just so happened that Xu Yuanchun was also coming back soon.

After Xu Yuanchun begged for forgiveness in the Golden Palace, news of a serious illness spread. Many famous doctors in the capital were invited to the Cloud Hall, and the diagnosis results were worrying. It is said that Xu Jinshi is afraid that his life will not be long. In order not to die in a foreign land, Xu Yuanchun asked to return home and wait for death, and was finally allowed by the humane Emperor Ming.

When Xu Yuanzuo saw Xu Yuanchun, this new science and technology scholar had a ruddy face, except for the fatigue of some long journeys, he was even healthier than when he had been curled up in the study to read.

"Jing Lian!" Xu Yuanchun got off the boat and saw Xu Yuanzuo who came to greet him. Quite excited.

Xu Yuanzuo had long known that Xu Yuanchun was pretending to be sick, and he couldn't help but be worried about this brother-in-law's acting skills. Beijing doesn't know how much silver was given to the famous doctors, so that they could all say that Xu Yuanchun "time is running out".

"Big brother, congratulations, this time it's a homecoming." Xu Yuanzuo stepped forward and held Xu Yuanchun's arms. Haha laughed.

Jinshi has an obligation to leave the office, and if he tries to escape, he may be sentenced to a heavy sentence. Only in the drama is there a story of returning to the hometown after high school, and the Jinshi in reality have to participate in the examination of the Hanlin Academy after a short period of scenery, and then assign work according to their grades. Those who are released should take up their posts immediately; Those who stay in Beijing have to go to the six ministries to watch the government; The scholars who entered the Hanlin Academy immediately had to bury their heads in the vast pile of old papers to learn the allusions of the imperial court, and lay the foundation for entering the cabinet in the future.

However, after all, returning to his hometown is the most preferred thing for the literati, Xu Yuanchun couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and he smiled heartily - he used to study at home all year round, and his laughter was far less loud than now.

"The younger brother also has a gift here, one is for the eldest brother, and the other is also to congratulate the eldest brother on high school." Xu Yuanzuo ordered someone to present a wooden box.

Xu Yuanchun has not received a satisfactory gift for many years. In other words, because of his good life, he didn't know what gift he wanted. What is treasured in the eyes of others is just a daily decoration in his eyes. He was curious: "I don't know what kind of treasure it is, let me take a look." ”

It's actually a bit rude to give a gift in person, but the relationship between the two is extraordinary, so I don't care. Xu Yuanchun was also really curious, and after opening the wooden box, he saw a roll of newspaper lying quietly. Turning on the top is eight big characters in thick ink and dark black: "Cai Gao Badou, filial piety and two Beijings"!

It is the two most pinnacle events in Xu Yuanchun's life: the title of the gold list, crying to save his father!

Xu Yuanchun only felt a warm current surging in his chest, closed the wooden box, hugged it tightly in his arms, and said: "The parents of those who gave birth to me, and those who know me are Jinglian!" ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled, invited Yuanchun to get into the carriage, and went back to Tianma Mountain together.

The day after the fire burned Dingjiatang, the Xu family moved to the Tianma Mountain Courtyard in the name of safety. Shilin Zhongwen Ding Jiatang was burned, and the shock was far greater than that of Xu Jie's bedroom. In the eyes of the scholars, these thieves can even get their hands on the academy, which shows how mad they have become, and they are really angry with the enemy.

Xu Yuanchun listened to Xu Yuanzuo's exposition in the carriage, and his cheeks were red with hatred, and his fists were clenched. Even if he was a close and good ally, Xu Yuanzuo would not tell him that the Dingjia Hall of Shenghu Academy was actually burned by him.
