Chapter 569: Making a Fortune
"Isn't this the owner of Tongbao Money? Haven't you already been here once this morning? Why is it here again? ”
The master hurriedly asked the soldiers to step forward and separate the chaotic subordinates from the head of the household, but the head of the household still looked lifeless, he raised his head listlessly, and glanced lightly at the plaque of the yamen.
This is a problem that even the yamen can't solve, and only the people in the palace can solve it......
Seeing that the head of the household was silent, those subordinates couldn't help it, and one of them, whose thoughts were still clear, stepped forward and explained to the master, "That's right, master, just now our head of the household was hijacked by those poor people on the way back, and they took away the vouchers of the money village and the granary from the head of the household!" ”
The master was taken aback when he heard this, his panicked eyes almost popped out of those small eye sockets, he didn't care about anything, and hurriedly ran towards it, in a panic, he accidentally tripped his left foot and right foot against each other, but he still couldn't stop his panicked pace.
"Sir! Oh no! Oh no! We're broke! ”
The courtyard was full of the master's screams full of despair and panic, and the old man, who was still pot-bellied and was slowly walking towards the hall, was also taken aback by these words, he, like most of the wealthy merchants in the capital, had deposited a large amount of property in his name in Shande Qianzhuang.
"Go and invite me in!"
The county official stared at him, and he was faintly panicked in his heart, he had a premonition that something big was about to happen in the capital, and such a big event would happen more seriously and suddenly than before, and it was more likely to change some existing things.
The subordinates hugged the head of the household and rushed into the yamen, and the county official was quite calm, still interrogating the case in the original order.
The head of the household knelt on the ground, his eyes were blank, and only now did he think about the seriousness of the matter, but it was too late to regret it, what should have happened had already happened, and what was about to happen, he was powerless to stop it.
"Owner! What's going on here? The county magistrate still couldn't believe his ears, he was a little skeptical of what the master said, how could these poor people have such courage!
"Just like what the master said, we are all bankrupt, and now we are the poor, and those poor people should be the richest people in the capital outside the palace."
The head of the household looked up, and the expression on his face was extremely calm, as if he was telling something that did not concern him at first sight.
"You! You! The county magistrate finally confirmed the matter from the mouth of the head of the household, and he immediately stood up, pointed at the head of the household with trembling fingers, and almost didn't mention it in one breath, and shook it straight back.
Seeing this, the master on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help the county official, his face was also extremely pale, and their money fell into the hands of those poor people in an instant.
"How can it be!" The county official and the old man sank his breath, and suddenly slammed it on the table, and he was extremely angry, and immediately turned to all the catchers and soldiers under his command, "Search the streets and alleys!" We must find out those who have the audacity! ”
The master looked at the county official with concern, and reminded in a low voice, "If something so big happens, should we ...... to the palace?"
The county official immediately glared at the master warningly, and said in a deep voice, "Shut up! This matter must be suppressed and not let the above know! Otherwise, you and I will be doomed! ”
The master swallowed a mouthful of saliva in fear, he pursed his lips, but he couldn't find any other way, he knew very well that relying on themselves alone, this matter would definitely not be settled, sooner or later it would be known by the above, if you wait for the bad news to come, it is better to be happy......
"Sir...... You have to think clearly, the people who have an accident are all big families in the capital, as long as it takes a while, all those big families will come for this matter and break the threshold of our yamen. ”
The sadness on the master's face couldn't be covered, he could still listen to the words of the county magistrate here obediently for the sake of money, but now everyone is poor, and no one is superior to anyone else, he doesn't want to be as submissive as before.
The county official only felt that he had a splitting headache, he held his forehead with his hand anxiously, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a way to ease the mood of the people and stabilize his black gauze hat.
At this time, the owner of the money village who was kneeling on the ground stood up and suggested to the county official, "My lord, I think, it is better to report this matter to the court quickly, those poor people will do such a bold thing because of the relationship of the new policy, and the bell must be tied to the bell, and only the court can completely eradicate this matter." ”
As soon as these words were spoken, those subordinates also nodded their heads, and the owner said what they had hidden in the depths of their hearts, and they had been worried about whether they would one day become like those poor people, which was all harmed by the new policy.
As the parent official of the capital, the county official naturally sees what has happened in the capital in recent months, and he also knows how outrageous the new policy of the imperial court is, but there is no way, now the palace is also in charge of the palace, and the other ministers don't want to take care of things, they just want to take the opportunity to make a profit.
"My lord, please tell the court quickly! Let the poor give us back their money! ”
Seeing that the county magistrate was still hesitating, those subordinates immediately knelt down one by one and begged him.
The county official and the master were also very nervous about their money, but the dead duck had a hard mouth, and the county official didn't want this matter to affect his future and official fortune, so he gritted his teeth and decided to ignore the requests of these people, he coldly ordered the head of the household, "About this matter!" It's your money owner's problem! You've got to figure it out! We are all victims! ”
"Then the master will lock me up." A mocking smile appeared on the corner of the householder's mouth, and he stretched out his hands, his face full of indifference, "If you lock me up, you can't take the money back from those poor people, I have already informed the matter, and in a short time, those big families will come to the adults to ask for justice." ”
The county magistrate was especially clever about the head of the household, so he waved his sleeves in confusion and said to the soldiers on both sides, "Lock him up first!" It's good to give an explanation to those big families! But don't leak the matter of the poor people robbing money! If those big families ask what is wrong, you will say that the owner of Deshan Money Bank has absconded with the money! ”
The head of the household never thought that the county official would let him take all the black pots alone, which is simply unreasonable!
