The heavy snow gradually stopped, and in the hall of Dingyao Mountain, Sun Jian picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip of hot tea, and then slowly asked, "What is it called?" ”

There were two people standing at the bottom, one of them was a middle-aged man in his forties, he was dressed in riding clothes, his boots were speckled with mud and water stains, and his trousers were also wet.

This middle-aged man has an ordinary appearance, but people feel down-to-earth and reliable at a glance.

The other guy standing next to him was only a teenager, a hexagonal little guy.

"His name is Gu Yanzhang, he is a husband from Yanzhou City, he has no background, he is just a white body, and he has never even been full of weak crowns." The middle-aged man said respectfully, "The second master of the same official family has passed the anger, and it has been negotiated, it just depends on how you are assigned." ”

Sun Jian let out a faint "oh" and turned his head to look at the little guy.

When the little servant saw him coming, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and held a letter in both hands.

Sun Jian casually took the letter handed by the servant at home, opened it and read it, and sure enough, it was the handwriting of his second brother, which stated the situation and wrote the price.

He heard the surname of the word "Gu", and heard that it was the person who "Gu Pingzhong" wanted to rectify, and his mind moved, and he slowly figured out the taste.

——It seems that the wealthy and monstrous family in Yanzhou City back then was surnamed Gu, and it was the main family of Gu Pingzhong.

If you are an ordinary person, a thousand guan is a good price, but if you change to that family surname, a thousand guan, sell a leg, he is too cheap!

The younger brother is still not sophisticated enough, such a family fortune, may not be able to get it once in a lifetime, now there is a rare opportunity, if you don't seize it, do you want to send it away in vain?

Sun Jian thought for a moment and said: "My second brother is soft-hearted, and he has never been sensible, what others say, how can he believe it, he just thinks that an acquaintance in the city, he looks down and doesn't look up, and if others ask for anything, he doesn't think about it, he just responds." I'm different, I don't want to do things that matter to people's lives. ”

Sun Jian looks dignified, his eyebrows are straight, and when he said this righteous Ling Ran's words at this moment, he didn't know, and thought that he was a good official who was well-behaved and well-behaved for the people of the court.

Gu Da stood at the bottom, hearing him so righteous and strict, for a while, he didn't even know how to reply.

Sun Jian, who is in charge of the treasury account and manpower in Dingyao Mountain, has always been notorious in Yanzhou City.

As long as those who serve in the former service of the government go to Dingyao Mountain, they will be first-class households when they enter, and when they go out, it will be cheap to become a third-class household, and the most feared thing is that they will even lose their lives in it.

Even if it is a third- or fourth-class household serving as a husband, if it is not good to pay a sum of money to buy a life, it is inevitable that they will walk in and lie out.

Over the years, the souls in Sun Jian's hands have been piled up, and I am afraid that he can fill this spacious hall, but because he is standing behind him with the backers in the capital, and he only can't get along with the civilians who serve, he has always been safe and stable.

The hall was burning with earth dragons, and the heat was rising, causing Gu Gu's big toe to itch for a while.

He galloped all the way, a pair of legs and feet blew in the cold wind for a long time, and he was already frozen stiff, at this time he just wanted to take off his boots, wipe them dry, and cover them for a while, otherwise this cold and hot, the frostbite is afraid that it will fester.

But in this case, how can there be this opportunity.

Thinking of the instructions of the main family to him before leaving, Gu Da endured the pain and itching in the soles of his feet, took two steps forward, and said respectfully: "The master knows that the officials are kind-hearted, but I just want you to take a hand in the friendship between the two families." ”

As he spoke, he put a silver ticket on the table in front of Sun Jian.

Sun Jian looked at the number on the strip, his pupils shrank, and then he smiled and said, "When the people arrive, I'll take a look." ”

As he spoke, he pushed the silver ticket back.

Gu Da was disappointed for a while.

That's not enough.

He gritted his teeth and said: "The master has specially explained that after the matter is completed, whether you want a house, a field, gold and silver, or anything next to it, it is all up to the officials to choose." ”

Hearing him say this, Sun Jian leaned back in his chair and said with a smile: "Leave the silver ticket." I remember that in the past, the Gu family had a few shops on Pingrong Street today, and I always looked at the boundary of the place. ”

Before he finished speaking, Gu Da was so shocked that he could barely stand on his feet, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time.

"What? The rich man's family is reluctant to do this? Sun Jian smiled and asked.

This is a shop on Ping Rong Street!

Before Yanzhou was broken, Pingrong Street was called Shunyi Street, and the street was full of traffic, and merchants from various domains and the Western Regions gathered, which can be said to be every inch of land. Although it is not as good as before, it is also a thriving street market in Yanzhou City.

With Yang Kui in charge, according to this momentum, in one or two decades at most, even if Yanzhou cannot recover its former prosperity, six or seven points are still expected, and the shops on Pingrong Street cannot be bought back with money.

This grandson peels the skin, he doesn't want eggs, he wants hens!

Gu Da's head was dizzy for a while, he tried to calm down, swallowed his saliva, and still couldn't make up his mind.

Sun Jian looked at him like this and said with a smile: "Since you don't have a good idea, you might as well go home and ask your master's family, and then come and talk to me!" ”

He sold his own deed to Gu Pingzhong, Gu Da has also been in the Gu family for many years, before going out this time, he got Gu Pingzhong's solemn advice, he knew that this time he could only succeed, not fail, he was ruthless, and said: "No need, just according to what the official said, I only have to see him breathe with my own eyes, so I can rest assured!" ”

It's not a big deal.

He nodded, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky outside, and said: "It has snowed for a few days, they carry their baggage, walk slowly, and according to the past, it will take at least seven or eight days in the evening to arrive." ”

Another servant was summoned to come in and asked, "Is there a servant in that area of Bingsan now?" ”

The officer thought for a while, bowed his head and replied: "Since the last time I went back to Daning County, the servant has died, and no one has gone again." ”

Sun Jian nodded and said: "Clean it up, in a few days, a servant from Yanzhou City will come, arrange him to go in, lock the door when the time comes, tell him to dig in the soil, and there is no need to send food in, even dig enough two thousand catties of iron and stone soil, and even let him out." ”

Dingyao Mountain is an iron mountain, but the iron and stone soil is not easy to dig, two thousand catties of iron and stone soil, so that an ordinary person sleepless digging and selection, it does not take a few years, can not be dug out at all.

If you lock people up and don't give them food, you won't have to wait long, so that on a very cold day, you can die of thirst and starvation for four or five days at most.

The official listened to his command, and only responded calmly, as if this was an ordinary thing, bowed, and retreated.

Sun Jian turned his head to Gu Dao again: "When the people come, you have checked the person's appearance with your own eyes, look at the confinement, and after five or six days, you will go to examine the corpse." ”

Although the price paid was terrible, and it was possible to get things done, Gu Da still put his mind at ease, he bowed, thanked him again, and then retreated.
