Chapter Seventy-Five: The Old Treacherous and Cunning
"Sang Hong sheep, Sang Hong sheep! You do the first year of junior high school and I do the fifteenth, you didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly, right? Huo Guang rode on his horse and walked towards Sang Hongyang's house, still a little proud in his heart. Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa ( Pingnan Romance)
When he humiliated Sang Hongyang that day, he dared to hire a murderer to assassinate him, and Huo Guang now began to fight Sang Hongyang whenever he had the opportunity. Huo Guang believes that as long as he is carefully liquidated, even if he can't let Sang Hongyang's wealth be dispersed, at least he will be able to lose most of his family property out of thin air, and as soon as he moves the promotion of the entire Chang'an money order of the Sang family, the situation will be opened, and Huo Guang has to do a good job in both public and private.
Although the Sang family is the richest man in Chang'an, the status of merchants in the Western Han Dynasty is still not very high, and there are strict regulations in terms of mansions. However, it is stipulated that the dead are alive, although the "two-year law." The "Household Law" stipulates that people without a lord can only have one house, and the Sang family once spent money to buy a duke title for Sang Hongyang's father, and this title can enjoy twenty houses, but the Sang family found another way to name the courtyards of the two twenty houses on the left and right on the heads of the other two people of the Sang family, these two people are Sang Hongyang's uncles, and they also bought a duke title. In this way, the Sang family is equivalent to a large mansion with sixty houses. And although the Sang family did not live in Xuanpingli, this mansion is close to Xuanpingli, and it is worthy of being the richest man in Chang'an.
"Heh, this Sang family is really magnificent. A mere merchant's house has such a vast mansion, I'm afraid it took a lot of thought, right? Huo Guang led people to the door of Sang's house and said with some mockery. This kind of atmosphere is not the Sang family, almost all the rich businessmen and giants do this, which is why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will extend his hand to these businessmen, when the central government is unable to make ends meet, the rich businessmen and giants have huge wealth, and it is not to blame that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is not moved.
However, Huo Guang found that although the Mulberry Mansion occupies a wide area, the houses are not high, and the roof tile decoration is also very ordinary, and there is no etiquette from the appearance, because in the feudal society, even the style of the roof tile and the style of the eaves are strictly regulated.
"Zhang Ji, it's official, go up and call the door!" Huo Guang said to Zhang Ji beside him, in fact, there is no need to send someone to inform at this time, Sang Fu already knows. Because Huo Guang's movement was too big, there were usually two servants at the gate of the Sang Mansion, and the two of them had already rushed in to report at this time.
Chang'an City is very large, but it is also very small. As soon as Huo Guang and the team arrived outside the Sang family, a lot of news had already spread, and many people began to speculate why this large group of people came to the Sang family? And many people with a heart have discovered that these people brought by Huo Guang are basically the period gate army of Shanglin Yuan. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"
"I wonder who this adult is? Why do you want to come to my Sang Mansion? Soon there were many people coming out of the Sang Mansion, the first one was in his fifties, at first he saw that Huo Guang was not very old and was a little contemptuous, but when he found out that these soldiers were all the soldiers of the period, he was also a little uneasy. ( Pingnan Romance)
"Who are you? Can you call the shots of this Sang family? Huo Guang asked with a casual glance.
"Coming from Xia Sangdong, it is the master here." Although the Sang family has some backers, they also know that the form is stronger than the person, Huo Guang came to such a battle, and Sang Donglai could only bow his head.
Huo Guang had already done some research on the Sang family, this Sang Donglai was Sang Hongyang's father, and now most of the foundation of the Sang family was also established by this person. Then he single-handedly promoted the marriage of Sang Hongyang and Prime Minister Li Cai's young daughter Li Mei, so that the Sang family also had the momentum to become powerful.
"It's good to be in charge, Zhang Ji told him what we are here for, and the others will follow me in!" With a wave of his hand, Huo Guang walked towards the Sang Mansion with hundreds of gate troops.
"What are you doing here?" Sang Donglai didn't react at first, but when he saw that Huo Guangzhen ignored him, he led people to his mansion, and immediately blocked in front of Huo Guang.
Sang Donglai's family is rich, and many powerful people treat him with courtesy, how can he ever be despised like this, and the more important thing is that Huo Guang is just a hairy boy who has not dried up in his eyes, which makes Sang Donglai's heart even more angry. As soon as Sang Dong moved, the Sang family who came out behind him also blocked in front of the mansion, and there was a smell of sabre-rattling in an instant.
"What? Just because of these people, you want to obstruct the official? Huo Guang pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and looked at Sang Donglai with a sneering smile. Huo Guang knew that a small number of these people behind Sang Donglai were servants and relatives of the Sang family, and more of them were guests of the Sang family.
"Master Sang, my county order is here to settle the money, this is a decree of the imperial court, please don't make a mistake with Sang Lao!" Zhang Jiqia said out loud at the right time, although Huo Guang intended to bully the Sang family, his main purpose was to implement the money order, so he and Zhang Ji sang red face and black face one sang blackface.
This arrangement was not intentional by Huo Guang, at this moment Huo Guang also glanced at Zhang Ji, and was very satisfied with his performance, Huo Guang didn't find out before that he and Zhang Ji still had such a tacit understanding.
"The army of the period gate obeys the order, today the official is performing official duties, if someone forcibly obstructs him, he will arrest him for me, and anyone who resists will be killed!" Huo Guang knew that it was time to take a fierce medicine at this time, in the past, those Chang'an orders did not dare to move the Sang family, except that those county orders themselves were not as good as the background of the Sang family, even the county officials estimated that they did not dare to be too strong in the Sang family, but the Qimen army was different, not to mention the merchant's house, even in the Liehou Mansion, as long as the order was given, these soldiers would dare to kill.
"No!" Hundreds of gate troops responded in unison, and at the same time, the halberd in his hand pointed forward, just facing the people of the Sang family.
Even if Sang Donglai experienced strong winds and waves, he couldn't bear such a battle, and there were beads of sweat overflowing on his forehead, so he could only retreat to the side helplessly, and his heart was even more helpless. Sang Donglai also knew what the money order thought was for a rich businessman like them, this mana had been promulgated before, and neither Chang'an nor a county had really implemented it, but once it was liquidated, his family property would only be three layers less!
At the door of Sang's house, at most, he used his power to bully the ordinary people, and when he saw the momentum of the Qimen army, he suddenly became angry. Then Huo Guang walked into the Sang family with a swagger, but left the people of the Sang family outside.
"Go and tell the young master about this and let him figure it out. Second brother, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly and ask the Prime Minister to come forward. I don't believe that this person can be bigger than the prime minister? By the way, do you know who this man really is? Huo Guang led people into the Sang Mansion, and Sang Donglai hurriedly arranged it, until now he didn't know who Huo Guang was.
"The head of the family, this person should be Chang'an Ling Huo Guang, the younger brother of the champion Hou." The Sang family recognized Huo Guang at the door, in fact, it was not difficult to see that he was Chang'an Ling from the reason why Huo Guang came, but Sang Donglai was also a little dizzy at this time.
On the one hand, it is to send people to count the carriages, horses, livestock, house slaves, and on the other hand, a large family like the Sang family has an account room, which must have the asset account of the entire family, and finding this account is the key. And there is absolutely no deviation in the accounts of the merchants themselves.
So when Huo Guang entered the Sang family, he sent a few officials to count the carriages, horses, and slaves in the house, and he himself took a large number of people to the Sang Mansion account room. The account room was also an important place in the Sang Mansion, but Huo Guang directly broke in with people, and the safety did not give the Sang family time to react. Then Huo Guang got the Sang family's account book very smoothly, and the officials began to settle and check.
When Huo Guang had already found the ledger and started to settle the account, the two people sent by Sang Donglai also arrived at the place. However, the servants of the Sang family wanted to find Sang Hongyang but did not find it, because Sang Hongyang happened to go to Weiyang Palace at the moment, and this servant could only wait anxiously outside Weiyang Palace. And Sang Donglai's second brother went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he met Prime Minister Li Cai very smoothly.
When the second master of the Sang family explained his intention to Li Cai, Li Cai also frowned. The wealth of the Sang family has always been a big help to Li Cai, he has regarded the Sang family as his own small treasury, and the two families are also sons and daughters. However, when Li Cai heard that it was Sergeant Qimen who broke into Sang's house, his face showed an unprecedented solemnity.
"You said Huo Guang didn't bring a servant? All the soldiers who went with him were sergeants of the period? Li Cai confirmed again, his first reaction was disbelief, and then he wondered if it would be Huo Guang who transferred the Qimen army in the name of Wei Qing. But in the blink of an eye, Li Cai denied his idea. Then he realized that this seemed to be the first time that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had accidentally transferred the Qimen army.
"Is this what Your Majesty meant? Definitely! It seems that this is a trip to troubled waters...... "Li Cai, as the prime minister, is more shrewd than anyone else in his heart, and the significance of the Qimen Army is extraordinary, Li Cai naturally thinks that this is the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Huo Guang, in this case, even if the Sang family is beheaded by the whole family, he can't come out."
"I know, this matter is a bit serious, you go back first, and the prime minister will go into the palace to find out what His Majesty means." Li Cai hurriedly said, as if he couldn't wait to enter the palace to see Emperor Wu of Han for the matter of the Sang family.
Seeing that the prime minister was so concerned, the second master of the Sang family couldn't say anything more although he was anxious, and he left because he was worried about the Sang Mansion.
"Xiangye, my subordinates are going to prepare carriages and horses." As soon as Second Master Sang left, a confidant beside Li Cai said, and at the same time, he had already turned around and was about to go out.
"Stop!" Suddenly, Li Cai stopped his henchman with a loud voice, and said something that made this henchman confused: "Prepare for the carriage and horses?" What are you doing with your horses? ”
"Isn't Xiangye going to enter the palace?" The henchman was confused, and said subconsciously.
"Nonsense! Who said that Benxiang was going to enter the palace? Spread my words, today is closed to thank the guests, no one comes, and no one will see, just say that the prime minister is not in the house. Go ahead! Li Cai said with a serious face, as if he had never seen anyone from the Sang family at all, and he didn't know what happened to the Sang family.
"Yes, yes...... Subordinates will do it! Li Cai's henchmen hurriedly said yes, but they were shouting in their hearts, 'Old treacherous and cunning...... What a cunning man! ’
