Pan Ming is a native of Wuqiang County, Zhending Prefecture, Beizhili, and is a big local household, his grandfather's generation came out of Langzhong, who bought a big family business, and the family's fields were tens of thousands of acres, all of which went to Shenzhou and Raoyang, and there were more than a dozen shops in Shenzhou and Wuqiang, which was really a strong party.

However, the next few generations are not angry, Pan Ming's grandfather is a lifter, his father is a showman, and Pan Ming himself was not admitted to the showman until he was twenty-two years old.

Only those who have meritorious service and fame can prosper the family business, without this, then they will not be able to protect their own industry, and those who are prosperous will come and steal it.

There is so much land under the world, you occupy more and less other families, your family is just a talent, our family has a jinshi, or knows the governor of Zhizhou and County, so he will naturally take you under the knife.

When Pan Ming was born, there were thousands of acres of land left in the family, and everything that could be sold was sold, but thousands of acres of land, and his father had a person's identity, which was also famous, thousands of acres did not pay taxes as usual, and his family was still a big family in Wuqiang County, and his life was still nourishing.

Rich for no more than three generations, this cannot be said to be a universal truth, but it is accurate to use it in the Pan family, when Pan Ming was twenty-two years old, someone took a fancy to his family's hundreds of acres of watered land, and asked for two taels of silver per mu to buy it.

Land is something that has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one will buy and sell it easily, not to mention that the market price of watered land in Beizhili is four taels upward, and the Pan family will certainly not sell it.

However, this buyer is a relative of the father-in-law in charge of the 24th Yamen Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau of the Inner Court, and the Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau is one level higher than the Huanyi Bureau in the 24th Yamen, and it belongs to the third-class Yamen with oil and water and no status, but outside the palace, especially in Wuqiang County, Zhending Prefecture, that is, it is as high as the sky.

The other party was not embarrassed, but just said hello to the county magistrate of Wuqiang County, and the magistrate of Wuqiang County panicked first, and it was very simple to find trouble. Especially the Pan family, a powerful family of several generations, didn't spend much effort to find out an accident where the maid hanged herself.

This is not a big deal for the Pan family, Pan Ming's Lao Tzu slept with the maid at home back then, and the maid couldn't think of hanging herself for a while, and the Pan family lost a grocery store to that family, and the matter was over.

This is a commonplace trivial matter in large households, and the idlers in Wuqiang County talked about it, saying that the maid is not sensible, and Master Pan is willing to pay out even a shop, if you are happy to obey, you don't know how to get rich in the future!

However, the Da Ming Law has a clear text that killing and destroying slaves is a serious crime, and this article is enough to remove the fame, and the Pan family has nothing to take care of in the officialdom, so the fame naturally cannot be retained.

Then what bullying the weak, forcibly seizing the people's property and other sins smashed up, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, the trees fell and scattered, seeing that the Pan family had a advantage to take advantage of, and those who complained for a while, those who cheated came to the door one after another.

Pan Ming's father is a son-in-law, not to mention being pampered since he was a child, and he has no scruples when he grows up, but at this time, he was smashed down by a stick in the head, and he couldn't stand this anger for a while, and he couldn't think of hanging himself with a rope.

As soon as his father died, Pan Ming didn't even have a famous child, let alone wanted to protect the family business, and now, it was no longer a disaster for the eunuch's relatives to buy water to water the land, and even the magistrate was staring at this piece of meat.

Pan Ming's mother died early, and many relatives in the family did not communicate, and now they are taking advantage of the opportunity, that is, after a year's hard work, the family is ruined.

The matter is too big, and many people who handle it also feel afraid, the Pan family is such a lone seedling, wouldn't it be a hundred to die.

Anyway, someone in the yamen was greedy for a small bargain, and sold the news to Pan Ming for a price of one hundred taels, and Pan Ming also knew that he couldn't stay in Wuqiang County, so the surname Suo left home with the silver at night, and went out of the city in the morning.

He has a distant uncle who lives in the Tianjin Acropolis, and he went over with the silver, and people are going to be unlucky, it is really unlucky all the way to the past, Pan Ming only learned after he arrived in Tianjin Wei that his distant uncle actually died of illness.

Pan Ming himself has never taken care of the house, he has not been in charge of the house, he has not spent the silver in less than a year, seeing that his livelihood will be settled in the future, he pondered it, took the remaining silver and gave it to the head of a bow incense, and threw it into the bow incense.

That head took his advantage, not to mention that Pan Ming was still a literate person, so he arranged some idle guys, who didn't have to work hard, just kept accounts or something.

Pan Ming has become a broken household, he has experienced one thing after another, and he is a person who reads and writes, but he has grown a lot better than before.

After only a few months of hard work, he was caught up and down, and everyone praised him for his goodness.

After working for about a year, the errand of collecting the money for the incense burner was also assigned to him, which was not a fat shortage, there was a butcher shop that killed pigs, and he never paid the money for burning incense with five swordsmen and more than 20 helpers in his own house.

Pan Ming led people to go a few times, but they were all beaten and scolded back, and they were watching the jokes of this matter up and down, and there were other incense heads who couldn't wait for Pan Ming to do it, so that they could take over this matter.

As a result, Pan Ming came to the door alone one day, and the butcher shop looked at Pan Ming alone, ignoring him at all, and doing his own business as usual.

Pan Ming took out a kitchen knife from his arms, there were more than 20 knives and axes in the butcher shop alone, and he would care about his family, and no one paid attention to it after laughing for a while.

Then Pan Ming cut off the little finger of his left hand, the people in the butcher shop were stunned, the butcher shopkeeper scolded, "There is a kind of you to cut off another one", Pan Ming cut off his ring finger again, the people in the butcher shop were silent, and the people who came to buy meat were scared out, and when Pan Ming raised his knife and cut off his middle finger, the people in the butcher shop were soft.

This person is so ruthless to himself, he doesn't know how ruthless he can be to others, and the people in the butcher shop almost begged Pan Ming to stop, saying that the incense burning money that should be paid in the future will definitely not be less.

At this time, Pan Ming had already cut off half of the middle finger of his left hand, and his face turned pale, so he threw the kitchen knife to the ground, took out a piece of cloth and covered his hands and went out.

Watching Pan Ming staggering out, none of these five big and three rough men in the butcher shop dared to step forward.

After this incident, Pan Ming's reputation outside the Tianjin Acropolis became famous, known as "seven and a half fingers", and those three fingers were respectfully sent back by the butcher shop, and Pan Ming found someone to make them and hang them in his house.

With such a ruthless move, the incense money he was responsible for collecting was never delayed for a day, and even the servants in the yamen had to be polite when they saw him.

A few incense stickers on the bow of the boat knew about this incident and checked the accounts, this Pan Ming basically didn't do anything in the middle, thinking that this person was a capable person.

Pan Ming came to the bow incense for a year, and was promoted to the leader, and he won the trust of the incense head above, and he was regarded as a figure in the inner circle of the bow incense.

As a leader, there are more than 300 people under him, who manage a large area, and collect incense money every month, and a lot of oil and water every day.

The money he got was used to buy a property, invest in dividends, or make an interest on usury, Pan Ming had read a book in the end, his brain was easy to use, even if he was greedy for ink, he did not leak, and he sat down with his head in five years, and he actually had a net worth of more than 1,000 taels.

Today's Pan Ming is not the thin literati boy of the past, his body is strong and tall, and his face is also darkened by the sun, but he has a habit that is difficult to change, that is, he likes to wear scribes' robes.

Perhaps this shows his unique identity, that he has read and written, but the scenery of five years has now disappeared.

The new Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wang Tong is ruthless, the bow incense is suppressed by him, the incense money is not collected, and the incense people can't take a cut of the money they earn after a day's work.

Pan Ming didn't panic in his heart, anyway, the industry was also purchased, and there was nothing to worry about in the second half of his life, he bought an honest girl's daughter as a wife, and he was already pregnant with a child, so it would be inappropriate to not use this incense.

But not everyone can see as much as Pan Ming, many of the heads of the bow are bachelors who make as much money as they do, and now they have no income, and they can't pull their faces to make money, what they do is to get together every day and scold Wang Tong, scolding this young Jinyi Wei Qianhu.

Pan Ming is too lazy to get involved with them, he has experienced a lot of things, and he can see it, at this point, at least there is no hope of turning the tables in the short term, why bother to provoke right and wrong, it is legitimate to live honestly to support himself.

The shops on the banks of the Haihe River are full of golden eggs, Pan Ming saw it clearly, raised five hundred taels and went there first to occupy a good position, and when the shops were built, they would make a fortune.

While he was preparing for the old things, a few incense sticks who had disappeared for a while sent someone to contact him, and the people who came brought money and told them what to do.

Pan Ming estimated that many leaders should have encountered the same thing, at least the few who came to him every day have disappeared these days.

The bow incense was defeated, but the incense heads ordered the task, Pan Ming definitely did not dare to refuse, the bow incense said that it was the shipwrights and laborers who burned incense to form righteousness, but in the final analysis, it was the industry of these incense heads, and there were some outlaw characters under the hands of several incense heads, and now it was such a very critical juncture, if you didn't agree, you would die.

Ma Dafu's death is normal, but Sha Erbao's death is just near Pan Ming's segment, and he can guess one or two.

shuddered, and could only buy grain, wine and meat with silver, and walked around the homes of the incense people under his hands to persuade him.

"Even the children who work honestly have been forced to hang, we have no way to live!"

“…… Today's defeat is all done by the dog official king, is our incense people suffering like this!? ”
