Chapter 106: There is no choice
North Vietnam, like all ancient societies, had no more cultural entertainment.
Lacking abundant ways to enjoy life, prostitutes became the only preference of the dignitaries. This is not to say that there is no place in Beiyue to listen to music and sing seriously, but in the brothels, you can also hear prostitutes singing and chanting, and there are women's soft and delicate bodies to serve, which naturally attracts the attention of all men.
Since Yi Huan made trouble in the brothel once, the fat man's brothel is not getting worse and worse, but getting better and better.
Because, even if the fat man didn't dare to tell what happened in the box that day, he couldn't bear to let others go to the governor's mansion to inquire. Even if no one can find out what Yi Huan went to the Zhizhou Mansion for, or what happened in the fat brothel in the first place. But Yi Huan's identity as the magistrate of Xingcheng County, and finally Jiao Yu took Mu Fen to Xingcheng County were quickly inquired.
Just for a "Three Character Classic", the box where Yi Huan once stayed was full every day.
But today is a little different, a group of wealthy people in Shenzhou City get together but just whisper. And the center of those people whispering is Chen Yuanwai of Xingcheng County with a sad face.
Like other wealthy households in Xingcheng County, when Chen Yuanwai heard from Wan Dahu that Yi Ying deliberately provoked Jiao Xuanxing's troops from Yuzhou to attack the city, his first reaction was to immediately flee Xingcheng County and flee to a safe place. Because others don't know what Jiao Xuan is about, they often linger in brothels in Shenzhou City, but Chen Yuanwai knows Jiao Xuan's personality very well.
Moreover, there are 10,000 large households in Xingcheng County, and Chen Yuanwai does not believe that 10,000 large households can really give up their property, and their 10,000 mansions are broken by chaotic soldiers.
It's just that I didn't expect that Jiao Xuan's soldiers and horses had not yet reached Xingcheng County, but Wan Dahu himself was "rebelled".
Not only the Wanfu in Xingcheng County has been occupied by Yi Ying, but even the property of Wanda in Shenzhou City has been looted by Zhizhou Muyan. As for the property of Wan Dahu in other counties in Shenzhou, sooner or later it will also be the word "seizure". Thinking about Yi Ying's ruthlessness and greed, Chen Yuanwai was a little afraid to return to Xingcheng County.
But what if you don't go back to Xingcheng County?
Who knows that if he doesn't go back, will Yizhi County also accuse himself of collaborating with the enemy and rebelling.
"Chen Yuanwai, just listen to the old man, let's go back to Xingcheng County as soon as possible! Thinking that Yizhi County can write a splendid article of "Three Character Classic", Wan Dahu must also have rebelled, otherwise how could it be that the people of Zhizhou have begun to seize the property of Wan Dahu. Since you didn't collude with Wandahu, you should go back as soon as possible to prove your innocence, otherwise it will be too late to regret it in the future. ”
The person who spoke was none other than Master Xixi, who taught the two sons to read in the Zhizhou Mansion.
Although Yi Huan was teaching Mu Qin and Mu Fen to study in the Zhizhou Mansion, the master rested for a few days. But when Yi Huan took Mu Fen back to Xingcheng County, the master returned to the Zhizhou Mansion to continue teaching. And after Yi Ying's teaching and the refinement of the "Three Character Classic", Mu Qin's learning effect is even more rapid day by day, and even the master has the spare time to go to the brothel to enjoy it.
Looking at the right hand that the master stretched out into the prostitute's arms, Chen Yuanwai somehow thought of Yi Huan, who was also old, and said with a wry smile: "Don't talk about the future, it's too late to regret it now." ”
"Master, there is really no way to turn the tables around? Have you heard anything about it in the governor's house? What does Lord Zhizhou plan to do with Wanji Grain? ”
Unlike others, Sheng Jiang, the owner of Sheng Ji Grain Store, is quite eager to try. Because when Wanda was still in power, the business of Wanji Grain Bank accounted for more than eighty percent of Shenzhou City. Now that Wan Dahu has "committed" the crime of rebellion, Sheng Jiang is also eyeing the Wanji Grain Store that has just been seized.
Interlaced like a mountain, when everyone else showed envy to Sheng Jiang, the master sneered and said, "Hmph, Wanji grain line? ......, that's what Lord Zhizhou has in his pocket. ”
What's in the bag?
Suddenly hearing this, not only did everyone's eyes widen, but Sheng Jiang even stuttered: "No, it won't!" How could Lord Zhizhou ......?"
"What's wrong with Lord Zhizhou? Lord Zhizhou is not a person? Lord Zhizhou is not an official? ”
The master said with a look of disdain: "Except for the fact that Lord Zhizhou is unexpectedly attached to his wife, in other things, he is no different from ordinary officials at all. And if Mrs. Zhizhou is not the daughter of the squire of the military department. Maybe ......, Lord Zhizhou will drink flower wine like us! ”
In the middle of the conversation, the master paused.
Because no matter whether others have similar feelings or not, since Zhizhou's wife Jiao Yu left home with her second son Mu Fen, the master always felt that Zhizhou Mu Yan loved the eldest son Mu Qin more and more. Not only did he accompany Mu Qin to read books when he had time, but he even sometimes personally pointed out the content of the "Three Character Classic" to Mu Qin.
Thinking of the appearance of the second son and the topic that no one in the house dared to mention, the master knew that he had to be cautious on this kind of issue, and he could pretend not to see it when he saw it.
It's just that I don't know how long Mrs. Zhizhou will take the second son out, will she come back, or will she simply ......
When the Master began to hide his panic by drinking, the crowd was already in a commotion again. It's not that they didn't think that Mu Yan would also be a corrupt official, but they didn't expect Mu Yan to be so greedy.
"Master, this is impossible! If everyone in the government does this, then what will we businessmen eat? Not only Sheng Jiang, but also some bosses at the table complained.
Knowing that he had said too much before, the master naturally didn't dare to say it again, but Chen Yuanwai said, "What to eat?" He eats all his great households, and he does not eat you. Do you still want to say that you can endure ten thousand big households, but you can't bear Lord Zhizhou? Can you survive under the squeeze of thousands of big households, but you can't survive under the squeeze of Lord Zhizhou? ”
"If you continue to make trouble, be careful that your fate is worse than that of Wan Dahu."
“…… Tut! ”
Chen Yuanwai's words reminded everyone that the first person to shrink his head was Meng Jiang, the boss of Meng's Grain Store. As if he had never said the previous words, Meng Jiang raised his glass and said: "What Chen Yuanwai said is right, we should all learn from Chen Yuanwai, and warmly congratulate Yizhi County and the Lord of Tongzhizhou for removing the tyrant of Wanda for us." ”
"Yizhi County is a good ,...... What a good ,...... for Lord Zhizhou"
"Let's pay tribute to Yizhi County together for a cup ......"
"A cup of ...... from Haruka to Lord Zhizhou"
As everyone began to push the cup and change the lamp one by one, Chen Yuanwai's heart became even more bitter. Because, just as these businessmen can only turn a blind eye to Yi Huan and Mu Yan's actions, Chen Yuanwai can only turn a blind eye to what Yi Huan did in Xingcheng County.
Wan Dahu is now finished, and I only hope that the rich businessmen in the world will not finish playing together, and they can't finish playing together.
And if you don't want to finish the game like Wan Dahu, no matter what other rich people in Xingcheng County think, Chen Yuanwai knows that he has no choice.
