29. Speak up
Break the county order, destroy the door of the mansion Yin.
An old saying, but also a wise saying.
At least in this dark feudal era, this is the wise saying.
What is the prefectural order?
During the Warring States period, the Three Jin Dynasty (Wei, Zhao, and Han) and Qin had already called the county administrator an order.
Qin Shang martingale changed the law, and the small townships were counties, and orders and responsibilities were placed.
In the last years of the Warring States period, a two-tier system of counties and counties was formed, and the counties belonged to the counties, and the county orders became subordinates of the county guards.
The Qin and Han decrees stipulate that in counties with a population of more than 10,000 households, the county officials are called county orders, with a rank of 600 to 1,000 stones; Those below 10,000 households are weighed in length, and the rank is 300 to 500 stones.
Tang County Order, Jing County, Qi County is on the five products and is on the six products, and the rest is from the six products to the seven products.
Yuan is the county Yin. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Zhixian was the official name.
To put it bluntly, it is a county magistrate!
In the Ming Dynasty, in Yingtian and Shuntian, and in the Qing Dynasty, in Shuntian and Fengtian, Fu Yin was set up, and its adjutant was called Fu Cheng. Until now, there is only one mayor!
They are all not very big officials, whether in modern times or in ancient times, officials who are bigger than these two official positions, abound!
However, it is so easy for such a small official to seize other people's property.
casually commit perjury, casually pull a few people, call a few thugs...... Rich businessmen have to give their money obediently!
What's more, they even have to pay off the female dependents in the family.
This distinguished guest from the imperial capital, the seven of them did not dare to be sloppy.
You must know that in the imperial capital, a brick may hit an official!
Moreover, they are wealthy merchants, who are much more noble than ordinary people.
And the person who is enough to be a distinguished guest by them is not an official, who else could it be?
"Seven masters, my lord and distinguished guests are inside."
After the third master took the seven people to the living room, he left on his own.
Seeing this scene, the seven people's expressions became a little more serious, and then they immediately pushed open the door and entered the living room.
Like the luxury of the mansion, the living room is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people to talk.
And it seems that these eight people are not ordinary trenches!
In the center of the living room, there is a table of wine and a few empty chairs.
The two people who were already seated at the table did not move their chopsticks or talk to each other, and it seemed that they were waiting for the arrival of the seven of them.
Just take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that one of the two people at the table has a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, and the other person is sitting straight on the chair, motionless, very atmospheric! But it is not difficult to see that both of them are trying their best to suppress their hearts!
The person with cold sweat on his head is very familiar to the seven of them, that person is the owner of this mansion, their business ally, Master Fan, Fan Yongdou.
They didn't know the other person, and the person was not wearing an official uniform, but from the momentum of the appearance, that person was very unusual.
"All seven are here, hurry up, take your seats."
Fan Yongdou, who was constantly breaking out in a cold sweat, immediately got up when he saw the seven people coming, and greeted the seven people.
Although the words were full of joy, the seven people present still heard a trace of ill intentions.
This guy is pulling them into the water!!
But there is no way, even if Fan Yongdou is pulling them into the water, they can't do anything.
Because since the day the eight of them joined forces to do business, they have been grasshoppers on a rope.
All of them are dead!
Not to mention, the business they do is still both lucrative and dangerous! No...... In fact, the word danger is no longer enough to describe the business of the eight of them, and it should be more appropriate to use 'committing crimes against the wind'!
And in this imperial era, the end of committing a crime against the wind is to be beheaded all over the house!
Time also, life also.
The seven people took their seats, and after taking their seats, Fan Yongdou couldn't wait to introduce.
"Seven old friends, let me introduce, this is a noble man from the imperial capital, the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the military department and the imperial history of the left capital of the Imperial Palace, the young master and the prince and the prince Cui Chengxiu, Lord Cui."
As soon as these words came out, the seven people who had just taken their seats almost slipped directly under the table.
Yes, they knew that the other party's origin might be big, but they didn't expect that the other party's origin would be so big!
The official positions just mentioned, just one random one is enough to kill the entire family of the eight of them!
"Master Cui, these seven people are the partners of the grass people's mind. The seven of us and the other have very close business dealings. ”
"That's good."
The look on his face suddenly became extremely relaxed, as if a big stone hanging in his heart had finally landed.
Subsequently, the military department Shangshu said again.
"I'm here today not to embarrass you, but to do me a small favor."
When he spoke, the tone of the military department Shangshu was very low, and there was no sense of arrogance.
"The Lord of the War Department said bluntly, we will help you."
It was still the old man in the red robe who spoke, for no other reason than because he was the second-in-command among the eight richest people.
The cooperative business naturally needs a leader to lead everyone to make money, eat and drink spicy.
And when the leader is not there, a second-in-command who follows the leader is needed to control the overall situation in case of a turnaround.
And this old man Wang is the second-in-command.
Now that the leader is not available, these two leaders naturally have to stand up and speak.
One glory and common prosperity, one loss and common loss.
"Don't be so scared, here...... I'll give you a companion first. ”
As he spoke, the military department Shangshu stood up, picked up the wine jug on the table, and poured wine for the eight wealthy businessmen present!
The eight of them suddenly panicked even more!
Yes, they are rich businessmen, but they are farmers and businessmen!
Merchants are the lowest people in society!
A military secretary poured wine for eight merchants...... Don't they panic!
This can't be a guillotine bar?!
Pouring the wine, the military department Shangshu said again.
"This time, I came uninvited, and I hope you Haihan."
After pouring the wine, the military department Shangshu returned to its original position.
"Come, I'll give you a glass of wine first."
With that, the military department Shangshu drank the wine in his cup.
Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to accompany the military department to drink the wine.
"Then I don't know what the intention of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War is coming this time?"
After that, the old man spoke again.
"Alas, don't call me an adult, it's too raw, everyone is casual, just call me Cui Chengxiu or Chengxiu."
"Don't dare, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, we are just grass people, how dare we be on an equal footing with adults. And if you have any difficulties, just say it, and we will help you.
We dare not assert anything else, but if you can't turn over money, we will wait...... There is money. ”
Master Wang's intention is obvious, and the meaning will be very straightforward.
Come on! Go ahead! The lion opens his mouth! We'll give as much as you want, anyway, what else do you want to do besides grabbing money, it's clear!
Anyway, there can be more money, and there is only one life!
What they do is the work of killing heads, and if they can survive, they will earn it!
