Chapter 253: Is This Still a Human?
Shen Xiaoyu didn't expect that he would sleep until noon the next day, and when he came together, he had a headache and nausea and was uncomfortable, and when Red Dates and Chunfen came to serve, Shen Xiaoyu asked, "Why don't you wake me up?" "She's used to waking up early, and it's a joke to sleep until three strokes in the sun.
Red jujube said with a smile: "The young master won't let you call, let you sleep well, and we can only call if you don't wake up at noon!" ”
Chunfen combed Shen Xiaoyu's hair and said, "Our young master is also really good to the young grandmother. ”
Shen Xiaoyu smirked, thinking that he had lived for more than ten years in front of him, and he was afraid that he was saving luck, just so that he could finally marry Qin Huaijin.
After lunch, Shen Xiaoyu went to the shop to take a look, she had been in the shop for less time recently, and suddenly found that her sister-in-law seemed to have lost some weight.
"Sister-in-law, are you uncomfortable? How did you lose so much weight these days? Shen Xiaoyu asked, I usually eat myself at night, but after a few days, why did this sister-in-law lose weight?
Sister-in-law Sun shook her head with a wry smile and said, "It's not uncomfortable, it's just that I want to be straight." My husband has been gone for three years, and I really feel that life is difficult, and the day is fine, but at night, I feel that the house is cold, and my heart is cold. Relatives said that the children sent have not been sent yet, and they look forward to it every day, and they don't know when they will come.
Shen Xiaoyu felt sorry in her heart, and she had persuaded her sister-in-law to remarry before, but her sister-in-law didn't have that idea, so she didn't persuade her anymore, but it wasn't a matter to be so thin.
Shen Xiaoyu was looking at the order, and took advantage of the time to make a few things earlier, but there was an uninvited guest outside the door.
Since Shen Xiaoyu's shop was smashed, it has been a long time now, Mrs. Mo came again at this time, Shen Xiaoyu naturally did not have a good face, and Sister-in-law Sun did not want to see this Mrs. Mo.
Shen Xiaoyu got up and asked, "Mrs. Mo is here, I don't know what to see?" She felt that even if she was angry with Mrs. Mo, she didn't want to make money, and she didn't need to be polite.
Mrs. Mo smiled and said, "Boss Shen doesn't seem to welcome me." ”
"How so?" After Shen Xiaoyu finished speaking, he said to his sister-in-law Sun: "Serve tea." But he didn't let Mrs. Mo sit down.
Mrs. Mo smiled faintly and said, "Boss Shen, I want to negotiate a deal with Boss Shen this time." ”
Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Slow, Mrs. Mo, I have said everything that should be said, I am just a small shop, the Mo family is such a big business, I don't dare to say anything about business." "It's just that he wants to take advantage of Qin Huaijin's relationship with the household, and the purpose of the Hui family is the same.
Mrs. Mo smiled bitterly: "Look at what Boss Shen said, Boss Shen is not an ordinary businessman. ”
Shen Xiaoyu smiled and didn't answer, Mrs. Mo saw that it was boring to say these imaginary things, so she said straight to the point: "This time, I actually want Boss Shen to do a favor and let Lord Qin make it convenient, and our Mo family will not forget the benefits of Lord Qin." ”
Shen Xiaoyu said helplessly: "I still understand Mrs. Mo's ungrateful ability, at this time, Mrs. Mo's face is not hot?" After speaking, he said: "It's useless for Mrs. Mo to force some things, if you see my shop as an eyesore, you can let people smash it, anyway, this shop doesn't make any money now, it's a big deal that I close the shop, it's all indifferent!" ”
Mrs. Mo looked at Shen Xiaoyu, this Shen Xiaoyu is nothing more than shit luck, let the emperor look at it twice, and seal the county lord, in the eyes of the family, the emperor's daughters are not taken seriously, what can a little girl with no family background do even if she becomes the county lord? A rural village girl is so difficult!
Mrs. Mo suppressed her anger and said: "Boss Shen is afraid that there is some misunderstanding, our Mo family is also just to make money in harmony, I heard my nephew and daughter-in-law also talk about Boss Shen, since it is an old acquaintance, it can be regarded as having a relationship with our Mo family, this time the deal will not be successful, and we will get together in the future." ”
"Then thank you Mrs. Mo, I really can't climb high." Shen Xiaoyu said with a smile, did she dislike that life was too good, or was she afraid that she would not be taken into the pit? Do you dare to go to Mo's house to "get together"?
Mrs. Mo returned again in vain this time, so she had to snort coldly and leave first. Now Qin Huaijin is also a figure in the household department, before the household department cleared a group of people because of the rebellion of the six princes, and if they wanted to die, they made the officials who were friends with the Mo family disappear, and now many things in the Mo family are messed up, and they urgently need a new umbrella. However, the officials of the household department all have businessmen who cooperate with each other on a regular basis, even if they understand the collusion between officials and businessmen, they also divide the territory, and now the one who can settle the crisis of the Mo family is Qin Huaijin, and she really can't move Shen Xiaoyu now. The previous smashing of the shop was only in secret, as long as the window paper was not pierced, everyone still had room to continue to think of other ways.
Sister-in-law Sun saw that Mrs. Mo was gone, and said with disdain: "Anyway, it is also a big family, and it is really tiresome to behave like this!" ”
Shen Xiaoyu smiled bitterly in her heart, I am afraid that the upper-class people are almost the same, but no matter what, she will not be in the company of people like the Mo family.
When he went home at night, Shen Xiaoyu told him about seeing Mrs. Mo during the day, and Qin Huaijin said, "I'll report this matter to the emperor tomorrow." ”
"Report to the emperor? Is that an exaggeration? Shen Xiaoyu wondered, thinking that it didn't matter, it was useless to report to the emperor, so many businessmen raised so many officials in the household department, and the emperor couldn't manage it, if Qin Huaijin cut off the wealth of others, I am afraid that there would be no good end!
Qin Huaijin said: "The emperor doesn't care about other merchants, but the Mo family is a big family, and the emperor who comes and goes small won't care, but now is a good time to eradicate the family." "It is estimated that there will be a series of actions in the future, after all, the emperor will also fish and dig pits!
Shen Xiaoyu asked: "There are four great families in Kyoto City, is it possible for the emperor to ......?" ”
Qin Huaijin nodded, the meaning is very obvious, now the emperor doesn't care about anything else, what he wants is money, what he wants is power, the greater the power of the family, the more unstable the emperor will sleep.
Shen Xiaoyu sighed, it seems that he is as stable as a family, and he will be shaken in the future.
Qin Huaijin thought for a while at this time and said, "What happened in Sihe Village before, I'm afraid it really wasn't a natural disaster. ”
Shen Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Did you find any clues?" ”
"I asked people to check what happened in Sihe Village back then." Qin Huaijin said: "At the beginning, there was a wealthy businessman who took a fancy to the boundary of Sihe Village and wanted to change it into an ancestral tomb, but at the beginning, that land was a residence distributed by the imperial court, not a private person, if you want to buy it, you have to hand over the money to the county government, and it will be considered to be in hand after the paperwork." As far as I've found out now, it's a lot of money. ”
Shen Xiaoyu frowned and thought about these tricks inside, the wealthy businessman had to go to the yamen to spend money to buy the land, and the county lord of the yamen ...... It's Xue Yijun's father, Master Xue!
"Do you think that the county master deliberately caused the plague for the sake of money?" Shen Xiaoyu looked at Qin Huaijin and said the terrible thoughts in his head. According to the process, even if someone buys land, the people in the village need to pay a fee to rebuild their homes, but if the villagers die, then the money will ....... went to hand it over to the imperial court, and the rest was all in Master Xue's own pocket.
Qin Huaijin nodded: "I'm afraid it's really like this!" "He served in the household department and understood it more deeply.
"However, because of the sudden flooding in that place, the wealthy merchant gave up the idea of buying again, and then no one cared about Sihe Village." Qin Huaijin said.
Shen Xiaoyu had a hatred in her heart, although her father and Cui Fenglan did not die in that plague, but others died so much! Her playmate since childhood, the neighbor she was familiar with, just because Master Xue wanted money, she poisoned the water and made the illusion of a plague, if it wasn't for the big flood, the entire Sihe Village would have been burned, and it would be impossible for anyone to escape!
"Is this still human?" Shen Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "For the sake of money, can you really do anything?" The Xue family originally wanted what to have, and what was the use of the money? "How much can a person spend in his lifetime? Even if she knew that money was good, she never thought that she would lose her conscience for money!
Qin Huaijin sighed: "It's hard to fill the desire. "In the eyes of Master Xue, I'm afraid that even a village is just a few cheap lives!
Shen Xiaoyu red-eyed and asked, "Is that it?" ”
"There are no key witnesses, and the one you said is called Meng Er who wants to find it now, I'm afraid it's like looking for a needle in a haystack." Qin Huaijin also understands the laws and regulations of this dynasty, and he also pays attention to evidence in everything, and this matter involves court officials, I am afraid that the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple will have to interrogate together.
Shen Xiaoyu felt depressed for a while, some people have done evil, can they really still sit back and relax?
"This may be an opportunity." Qin Huaijin saw that Shen Xiaoyu was uncomfortable, so he said: "It's just that there is some justice, and it may not be possible to do it in the name of so many innocent villagers." ”
Shen Xiaoyu asked, "Do you have any solution?" But after asking, he said, "Can we manage this?" "For Qin Huaijin, this is a hot potato, now that Xue Yijun is married to the Mo family, even if it is a branch, it is also related, if you want to move Master Xue in Liaoyang City, it is the enemy of the Mo family and the Xue family, this is ...... Maybe swallowing this mouthful of breath can bring you peace, but ......
"But I still can't swallow this breath......" Shen Xiaoyu said, his father and Cui Fenglan are not dead, is she qualified to redress the grievances of those dead villagers?
Qin Huaijin hugged Shen Xiaoyu in his arms and said, "There are so many things in the world, you can't manage them all, but if you don't care about anything, will it be boring to live in this life." He understands Shen Xiaoyu's thoughts, and he also has the original intention of being an official, being an official is only for money and power, and he doesn't want the people, that may be someone else's idea, but it is not his way of being an official, even if the power is different, it is fine, this is clear, there must always be a clear reason.
