Chapter 143: The Xie Family
"This Xie family is related, but the matter of the silver mine on the border with the Ghost Vine Country ......" In the second half of the sentence, Yang Baye's voice was pressed to the lowest.
Although this is not a secret in the city of Hangzhou, many people know that the Xie family has a silver mine in their hands.
But who is in this world?
Isn't it the one who sits on the highest dragon chair in the capital?
Even so, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
It is impossible for the emperor to come and guard the silver mine in person, and it is impossible for the people below not to swallow it at all.
The Xie family is entrenched in a silver mine, and no one believes it if they don't make money.
I heard that an official from a small border county said that he wanted to report the Xie family's behavior in the silver mine.
I just heard a rumor, and then I heard that there was an accident next to the silver mine, saying that there were thieves who went down the mountain to grab things, and there were a lot of officials in the surrounding county offices.
The border land is heavily guarded, how can there be any bandits who dare to go down the mountain to make trouble?
This made many people who wanted to see the Xie family's jokes relent, and they didn't dare to stare at their family's silver mine.
The silver mine is a lot of people who are jealous, but it also depends on whether there is a life to collect this silver mine, and the Xie family has many means.
"Girl, there are a lot of people here, let's go back and talk about other things."
"The girl came here early in the morning, and she has been standing for more than an hour, even if the girl is not hungry, she has to eat something, take care of her body, and then have the energy to deal with the rest of the matter!" Yang Baye persuaded Lin Shuqing.
Saying this, he gave Lin Shuqing a look.
Lin Shuqing understood and stood up from the ground.
At this time, the sun had already crossed the mountain, and the orange sunlight was shining down, making people not feel the intimidation of the scorching heat.
The rules of the Xie family are not big, and there are no requirements for waking up in the morning.
After breakfast in their respective courtyards, the sons and daughters had to go to the academy and the martial arts arena.
"Where's Big Brother? It's time for Mr. to give a lecture now, why hasn't the eldest brother come yet? Someone sat in the school hall and wondered.
"I guess I think that the gentleman of our clan is not as strong as the capital, so I won't come to class."
"Don't talk nonsense, eldest brother is not such a person, isn't he sick yet? That's why I didn't come. ”
The two teenagers in the school are arguing, one is aggressive and the other is careless.
"Quiet, this is the Xie family's family science, if it's noisy, let me stand outside!" A middle-aged gentleman walked in with a tray in his hand, and on the tray was a stack of bamboo slips.
The school suddenly fell silent, and the sound of Lang Lang's books came from it.
In the water pavilion in the backyard, there is a young man drinking tea by the water, and it is true that he is the eldest son of the Xie family.
"Young Master......" The servant behind him approached and saluted.
"Long story short."
"Young master, the oil shop caught fire, and five guys were burned to death inside, in addition, no one has found out about Lin Shuqing's background at present, but there is a Yang Baye behind her."
"Who dares to call himself a master?" The young man's tone was a little playful.
"It's just a dock to deal with Fanbang people doing business, the young master doesn't have to take it to heart, but this Lin Shuqing is still the first time to come to Hangzhou City, and the two seem to be very familiar, among them, there will inevitably be some transactions."
"Two ordinary pariahs, no matter how much they toss, what waves can they toss? Send some people to Lin Shuqing's side, get her recipe over, and then deal with the people. ”
"Yes, young master......"
The servant saluted and slowly withdrew.
The young man set the cup aside, clapped his hands, and stood up.
"Change clothes, I'll go see my mother."
Yang Baye said that he would take Lin Shuqing to dinner, but the two went directly to the bean flower shop next to them.
Today's bean curd shop is not open, because two of the dead guys did it in the bean curd shop.
Lin Shuqing didn't have any intention of eating, so she asked for a bowl of bean curd and put it on the table, without the slightest intention of tasting it.
Yang Baye was really hungry, so he finished eating a bowl of beef noodles after a few sucks, wiped his mouth, and ate another fritter before slowly talking to Lin Shuqing about business.
"The girl didn't know, when the ancestors founded the country, the ancestors of the Xie family had a meritorious role in rescuing the driver, and it happened that a silver mine was opened under the nose, so it was rewarded to the Xie family for care. I thought it was a small mine, but I found out that there was a lot of silver in it, and it hadn't dried up for hundreds of years. ”
"Although it is said that it is to take care of His Majesty the Emperor, but the things under his nose must be taken care of."
"The Xie family has a few sons who are officials, and they are not big men. The Xie family has a daughter who is a concubine in the palace, and I don't know the specifics. Anyway, in Hangzhou, it is one of the best. ”
"However, there are two Xie families in Hangzhou, one is this one who watches the silver mine, he is a rising star, and he is a nouveau riche to put it mildly. This is really capable, or another Xie family in the west of the city, which can be regarded as a thousand-year-old family, this emperor has changed countless times, and the people are still standing. ”
"Someone said before that the Xie family who watched the silver mine was for another Xie family, and this Xie's surname was also rewarded by their family."
"What does it matter?" Lin Shuqing couldn't understand the connection.
"The girl knows that the people who said this before have basically died in various accidents."
"So, if this family did it, the girl has to be careful. These nobles will not take the names of ordinary people like us in their eyes. ”
"Even if there is evidence, if the evidence involves the Xie family, the people of this prefect will not care, and they will not dare to take care of it." Yang Baye took another sip of tea.
It's exhausting to talk about so much in one sitting, but that's the way it is.
People like them are already working hard to make a living.
Generations of people have worked hard to get a bite of food and look forward to living a life of food and clothing.
Some people are born out of the clouds, not only do they not worry about eating and drinking, but they can also control the life and death of these people.
"Then you can't control them?" Lin Shuqing was unwilling.
"Manage, manage, as long as we are more powerful than the Xie family, we can manage, or, if we are richer than him, it is okay, money can make the ghost grind ......" Yang Baye sighed.
"The girl is in Hangzhou City, it's best not to confront the Xie family, otherwise, I'm afraid that the girl will hurt something."
Lin Shuqing kept silent, staring straight ahead, in Yang Baye's opinion, Lin Shuqing was grief-stricken.
After all, even the powerful people in the family dare not easily make a move against the Xie family, after all, it is difficult for the tiger to suppress the snake.
"Then there is really no way to get justice?" Lin Shuqing asked again unwillingly.
"If it is in the capital, there are definitely more powerful people than the Xie family. If the girl has someone in the capital, she can go there and try it. But even if there is, it is difficult to redress grievances. ”
