Chapter 612: Who else could it be?
Fang Yingwu's words made Yao Qian worried, and suddenly he seemed to be very insecure, so he couldn't help but ask, "Won't they come to arrest me?" ”
Fang Yingwu comforted: "It shouldn't be, now it's not your life-or-death situation, arresting you is breaking the rules." Setting this precedent, wouldn't Wang Zhi have taken revenge on their people? No one is benefiting from this, and therefore there is no need for it. ”
Yao Qian was still a little uneasy, so Fang Yingwu said again: "Actually, if you want me to say, it's really useless to arrest you, does Wang Zhi care if you are a businessman or not?" Who will do anything that will only bring trouble if there is nothing to be done? ”
Hearing this, Yao Qian was relieved. However, there were a few doubts, and Fang Yingwu did not make it clear.
One is what I just said, Yao Qian is just the outermost of the characters who are connected with Wang Zhi, how can troubleshooting Yao Qian touch Wang Zhi? I'm afraid that Wang Zhi won't care too much, right?
The second is that Yao Qian has been in this business for several years, why is the other party only coming to make trouble now? If it is said that he deliberately took advantage of Wang Zhi's absence in Beijing, then Wang Zhi has been away from Beijing for many days, why did he not come to the door until these two days?
Fang Yingwu returned home, and after asking the doorman, he learned that his father had returned, so he went to see his father again. The main thing is to report on the marriage in half a year, and now it's time to start preparing.
At the beginning, listening to Fang Yingwu's report, Fang Qingzhi was still a little painful. How can the cost of marrying the daughter of the prime minister's family be a small amount? In today's climate, if it is too simple, it is equivalent to being slow, and it will inevitably hemorrhage.
But listening to it, Fang Qingzhi didn't feel anything. The reason is also very simple. Anyway, he can't afford it, what's the difference between a thousand taels and three thousand taels? They were just numbing numbers.
Fortunately, Fang Yingwu said: "Son, I still have some savings over the years. I'm going to take it out and use it this time. It's just that in addition to repairing the West Courtyard, it also has to build additional houses on a large scale. It cannot be without the father's consent. ”
Hearing that his son paid out of his own pocket, Fang Qingzhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder marriages in the world have to pay attention to the right family. However, he asked: "Your West Courtyard was originally a family's mansion, what is there that is not enough to build a house?" Don't be too extravagant. ”
Fang Yingwu explained helplessly: "I don't want to spend this effort, but I heard that by the side of the third lady of the Liu family, there are eleven or twelve maidservants waiting for her every day. If we marry together, the population of my side will at least double, and we will not be able to live in a new house without building a new house. ”
Fang Qingzhi was dumbfounded. Stunned, he said, "Eleven or twelve maidservants waiting? How are you spending your days? Could it be that even eating is handed into the mouth by a special person? ”
Fang Yingwu also shook his head and said that he was not clear, and he was confused with his father. Both father and son were born poor, and they were not considered extravagant after they were developed, and they really lacked a concept of life with eleven or twelve maidservants waiting.
Another day passed, and Fang Yingwu was invited to the shop by Yao Qian again, still hiding behind the screen like last time. When the two purchasing eunuchs arrived, Yao Qian came forward to receive them.
It was still the same sharp voice I heard last time, shouting: "Yao Yuanwai! This is the third time we've been to your store, have you figured it out? Don't think that we are all good-tempered. You can drag it around! ”
Yao Qian replied with a bitter face: "Two fathers-in-law, we really can't take it." It's better to be more accommodating than the two fathers-in-law, gather a few shops, and bear this royal errand together. ”
was scolded by a sharp voice: "How can others be as big as your family?" We don't bother to bother with that spirit! ”
Then another eunuch spoke: "You don't know anything outside Yao. It's not up to us to decide. How can we be accommodating when they sent us to buy goods, and gave us so many taels of silver? We also have to give an account to the above.
However, I also understand the difficulties of Yao Yuanwai. Now, if you can find someone of enough weight to stop us, then we have a reason. After I go back, I can also have an explanation, and what to do in the future is the above thing. Otherwise. We can't accommodate you for no reason, so who will accommodate us? ”
Yao Qian could also see that the two of them today were clearly white-faced and red-faced. But this red-faced remark is interesting, and he actually proposed a way to deal with errands. As long as there are big people who stop them, they can go back and confess.
If it weren't for Fang Yingwu's reminder last time, Foreign Minister Yao had a heart and felt that there was something strange about this matter, and now he might have called Fang Yingwu out of the screen when he turned around. Among his acquaintances, who else is more weighty than Fang Yingwu?
Just as Yao Qian pondered his rhetoric and was about to continue to delay, he suddenly heard a noise behind him. turned his head to look, but saw Fang Yingwu take the initiative to flash out of the screen. The two eunuchs were also surprised, but they didn't expect that there were people hiding behind the screen.
Fang Yingwu didn't care how surprised Yao Qian was, and hugged his fists at the two eunuchs and said: "I am a fellow villager outside Yao Yuan, and now I am living in Beijing to study."
Then Fang Yingwu carefully observed his words and looks, but saw that these two people did not react, Fang Yingwu knew in his heart, these two people did not know themselves. Then Fang Yingwu suddenly said: "In the next place for Yao Yuanwai, the two fathers-in-law have taken the order!" ”
Yao Qian's face changed, and he didn't understand what Fang Yingwu meant? Twenty or thirty thousand taels is a huge amount of money, how can it be lost so casually? However, due to Fang Yingwu's status in the rivers and lakes, he watched the changes and did not speak.
The two eunuchs also looked at each other in surprise, which was completely unexpected. After waiting again, he saw that Yao Yuan did not speak, as if he had a default meaning.
Fang Yingwu didn't care what others thought, and continued: "Didn't the two fathers-in-law say that they would inspect and pick up the goods? It can be decided today, I don't know where the five thousand silver is, I will take it out and let Yao Yuanwai enter the account. ”
One of the two eunuchs, who was slightly taller, said in a sharp voice: "The amount is too big, so I haven't brought it today." ”
Fang Yingwu glared and questioned: "You said that you want to inspect and pick up the goods, and you don't even bring silver, what kind of sincerity are you talking about?" Since there are no 5,000 taels, then the deposit should be brought? Is there a thousand taels? As long as you take out five hundred taels, it can be regarded as a fixed order. ”
The two eunuchs didn't answer, and Fang Yingwu seemed to have seen something incredible, and exclaimed, "You don't even have five hundred taels? Is there any sincerity in making this deal? ”
The two eunuchs got up and said, "I'll take my leave today!" We'll talk about it tomorrow. Fang Yingwu shouted: "Slow! Then he instructed Yao Yuanwai: "Close the store!" ”
After that, Fang Yingwu said to the two eunuchs: "I see that you are sneaky, you have to do a business of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and you should bring a deposit after three talks, but you can't even take out five hundred taels, this behavior is very suspicious." ”
The two eunuchs sneered, "Then how are you going?" ”
Fang Yingwu responded: "There are only two possibilities, you don't know what kind of scoundrel and fake father-in-law you are, or you are indeed an internal supervisor, but you don't have the will of the palace, but you came out to extort merchants under the guise of the royal family!" For ordinary people, five hundred taels is not a small amount, and you don't have this money, so you can't take it out. ”
The two eunuchs frowned and turned to leave. Fang Yingwu shouted to the handyman in the shop: "These two people are swaggering and deceiving, and they have been recognized!" Listen to me and take these two! ”
The miscellaneous guys wanted to listen to the owner Yao Qian, but Yao Qian hesitated slightly, and Fang Yingwu glared at Yao Yuanwai fiercely. Yao Qian sighed and thought secretly, it's just that, this big deal was sent by Fang Yingwu, and it was a big deal to return it to Fang Yingwu.
When the handyman received the owner's signal, he stepped forward to surround the two eunuchs, who shouted angrily: "Wait for your dare! ”
Yao Qian said to the other party: "If these two people are really internal prisoners, even if they are arrested, it will be tricky. The internal supervisors are all disciplined by the palace, which government in the capital can try the internal prisons? It must not be let go yet. ”
When the two eunuchs heard this, their faces showed a little smugness, even if outsiders caught the eunuch committing a crime, there was really no way, unless they encountered a strong order.
Fang Yingwu glanced at it and said confidently: "It is true that there is no official government to try eunuchs, and we outsiders cannot enter the palace to express our grievances."
So just send it to the East Factory! After all, Dongchang is also in charge of the affairs of the Criminal Name and Law Division, and it is the internal prison yamen, so it is just right to twist these two people to Dongchang, and then sue them in Dongchang for swaggering and cheating! ”
Yao Qian couldn't help grinning, "Go to the East Factory to sue?!" ”
Ordinary people, especially wealthy ordinary people, may go to the county government or the government office to file a complaint, and it is also common for a big person to block the street to file a complaint, and it is not uncommon for them to beat the drum in the capital. But have you ever heard of someone who went to Dongchang to file a complaint?
In this place of Dongchang, there is no law and darkness to eat people and not spit out bones, I don't know how many goodness has been broken by Dongchang, and it is too late to hide, who wants to go there to sue? Isn't that self-defeating?
Therefore, Yao Qian suddenly heard Fang Yingwu say that he would go to the East Factory, which was unimaginable, it was really beyond ordinary people's cognition. However, when the two eunuchs heard these words again, their faces were like ashes, and the thighs and calves covered in the robes couldn't help but tremble.
Fang Yingwu pretended not to understand, "What's inappropriate?" Thinking about it, only the East Factory is suitable, what other place can we send these two people over besides the East Factory? ”
The two eunuchs shouted fiercely: "You dare to do this, Dongchang is also a place where you can go?" I can't wait! ”
Fang Yingwu refuted solemnly: "If you dare to come to swindle and deceive, at least if you are suspected of fraud, we will dare to send you to Yousi Yamen!"
Under the rule of the Holy Son of Heaven, isn't Dongchang the yamen of the Ming Dynasty? As the so-called reason goes all over the world, it's just a qiē official business! I firmly believe that evil does not prevail over good, and justice will prevail! ”
The two eunuchs found that the seemingly pedantic rhetoric of the young man in front of them could not be refuted, but this person was definitely deliberately pretending to be stupid! At such an age, who else can someone with such a Piri Yang and Autumn demeanor? A name popped up in their heads. (To be continued......)
