Chapter 101: Into the City

After Chen Rongtai heard the report, he was very calm. "Taken by the government? Do you know which yamen it is? In Guangzhou, one prefecture and two counties, the old man can speak, and they don't use the old man's silver taels on weekdays. Even if your young master is arrested because of a misunderstanding, he will not suffer any grievances. All I need is a letter to save someone, what are I afraid of him doing? ”

"Old lady, it's not the yamen who caught the young master, it's the brocade...... Jin Yiwei. ”

The tea bowl in Chen Rongtai's hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. "Jin Yiwei? Didn't I ask Yanzong to go to the provincial capital to get some joints and clean up the dog official Liu Chaozuo? Why did he provoke Jinyiwei? Could it be that he made an old mistake and clashed with Jinyi in those lowly places, and was arrested by them in retaliation? ”

He also knew that this situation was too unreliable, and he didn't believe this reason. It is a common thing to be jealous of the Qing Building, at most everyone turns their faces and moves their fists, and Jinyiwei is not so domineering as to arrest the gentry children to prison for this. Guangzhou Lei Laohu is a strong person, but he acts in a measured manner and will not arrest people casually.

On the other hand, if he really catches someone, it will be somewhat problematic, and it will not be easy to fish out. Did his grandson really cause some great trouble? He grabbed the long suisage and asked, "You tell me the truth, what did your young master do in the provincial capital, and why did you provoke Jinyiwei?" ”

"The young master actually didn't do anything in the provincial capital, just according to what you said, go to visit a few big masters, ask them to ask for Xiangshan's life, and dismiss Liu Thief. But time was short, and the young master somehow got acquainted with two women. It is said that those two women are talented women, who can read and write, play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and do everything. Singing and harmonizing with the young master's poetry is very compatible. The young master took them to the store, and somehow, listening to them, took out the money you gave him, saying that he wanted to donate it to do great things. ”

"Loser! The money I gave him was for him to buy the dog official Wusha, who let him use it as he pleased. Why don't you go back and forth to me, let him mess around? ”

"It's really the young master who gave a death order, if I dare to come to report the news, the young master will beat me to death. The slave and maid have no choice, so they have to do what the young master said, and they don't dare to report back to you. We have always had such a big family business, and we won't lose for a few dollars. But unexpectedly, the day before yesterday, the Jinyi guard suddenly called the door and said that the young master was suspected of some kind of teaching case, and he was taken to the prison without saying anything. I heard that he was also sentenced. ”

Chen Rongtai only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fell to the ground, lesson plan? This is the first-class big case at the moment, and it is known as whoever gets involved and who dies. How could his grandson be so dignified and be swept up by the White Lotus Sect? Even if Zhao Xuedao came forward, I am afraid that he will not be able to protect him.

Looking at the letter that was torn up by himself, he had no choice but to sigh and say: "Tell me to go down, pack up the soft and soft, pull up all the grain, and follow the old man into the county seat." I heard that Liu Chaozuo, a dog thief, had some friendship with Lei Laohu, so let's see if he can bail Yanzong out. ”

The city of Xiangshan County is indeed lively now, and the patriarchs and elders of the eleven capitals, as well as many large families in the countryside, have moved to the city. Liang Ruimin is well-informed, and he also heard that Zhelin seems to be a little unstable, and the situation in Guangdong is a little turbulent. With his help to spread the news, ninety percent of these big families entered Xiangshan.

Some of these people don't have villas in the city, and even if they do, they can't live in a family with so many people, not to mention that there is so much money and food. However, Li Yanqing had already prepared to contract all the shops in the city by the county yamen, and then subcontracted. This one out and one in, there is an extra entry in the yamen.

Watching him hand over the broken silver ticket to himself with a smile on his face, Zhang Ruolan felt sweet in her heart. This little money is naturally not in her eyes. However, her husband is willing to hand over all his financial power, call for wind and rain outside, and bow down in front of him, but this intimacy makes her feel comfortable from the heart.

"It's still Ruolan's clever calculation, first get all the rich people in the eleventh capital to the city, this time just by renting out the house, we will make a lot of money."

"What is this money? The most important thing is to let those gentry obey your plan from now on, and dare not have two hearts in the future. Since the Chen family is embarrassed by you, take this opportunity to give them some powerful tastes, so that they know that you are not easy to mess with. Actually, if I had meant it, I wouldn't have let these people into the city. If the rebels come to attack, the people they want are only money and food, and if they leave those big families outside, they will not be able to attack the city. ”

"Anyway, I am also the lord of Xiangshan County, if I act like this, it will not be very glorious. As for the Chen family, in fact, I don't need to do it anymore, then the old man has already admitted it. He asked someone to come to me today and ask me to help him save his grandson. If he knew, it was me who reported his grandson, and I don't know what the expression was. ”

"Bastard! What a bastard! Chen Rongtai's family entered the city, and they were not stable, so the shopkeeper of the grain store under his command came to see the old owner to pay the account, holding those white strips stamped with the big seal of the government.

The Chen family is different from Liang Ruimin, relying on the land for food, and not doing much business at sea. This grain bank is an important source of wealth for the Chen family, and a large amount of grain for the Chen family is also put in the grain bank to make money.

Chen Rongtai was not worried about the rebellion, the Chen family had many children, and the rebels did not dare to do anything to him. As long as the rebels besiege the city, the Chen family took the opportunity to raise the price of rice several times, and they could make a windfall. I didn't know that I was actually taken away by the county magistrate in this way of open robbery.

But at present, the county yamen occupies a rational word, and the force in his hands is strong. I heard that there were more than 20 arquebuses in a county yamen, which were better than the equipment of the regular army, and most of them would suffer losses when they went to the door to grab grain.

Besides, the county and the Liang family wear a pair of pants, and when the time comes, they will unite with Ding Zhuang, a child of the Liang family, and they will definitely not be able to bargain for themselves. Although the grain of several other families was also requisitioned by the county, overall, the loss was far smaller than that of the Chen family, so no one cared.

"The dog officer deceives people too much!" Chen Rongtai's family business is fundamentally in the grain store, Li Yanqing's move is tantamount to drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, and it is to break his foundation, how can he bear it?

"Master, now that we are in the county seat, it is equivalent to his territory, so let's bear with it. The green mountains left behind, I'm not afraid of no firewood, if I fall out with him now, I'm afraid it will be bad for us. ”

"Afraid of what? Our Chen family is also a big local family, a family with a head and a face, he Liu Chaozuo is the official of the Ming Dynasty, and he is not the bandit and pirate, do you dare to do anything to us? The old man will go to beg for food, and if he dares not to give it, I will let people go to the house to sue him. said that he lied about the military situation and took the opportunity to kidnap the gentry and rob the people's property, I think he has also grasped the seal. Besides, in his Confucianism, there is also a big problem, so Brother Zhao Nian took advantage of this to join him. As long as he falls, our Chen family will have a good life, and Yanzong may be able to release it. ”
