Chapter 704: Throwing the Pot

"The move of the four links is really benevolent! It not only helped the army solve the biggest problem, but also indirectly ensured the safety of our old capital, so that the big guy can at least not worry about being harassed by foreign enemies, and can rest assured of the safety of his life. ”

When Xiao Xiao said this, he was quite moved: "In this world, there are not many benevolent and righteous traders like Sitong!" If you put aside a few people and do good deeds, you can't shout that the world knows? But the four numbers are different, they do good deeds and are low-key, they refuse to publicize themselves, and only silently do what they can for the big guys. This kind of spirit really touched the king. ”

Xiao Xiao shook his head and sighed, and sighed with emotion, and the words were full of emotion, and the people around him couldn't help but sigh when they saw it.

"I can't imagine that there are such good businesses in the world."

"Yes, it's a pity that we are all a bunch of poor people, otherwise, if you want to buy anything, you must buy a four-way number."

"You don't know, do you? There is everything in the Sitong number, that is, let's go on a boat, and the oars are engraved with the name of the Sitong number! ”

"You brag again, you can't read, how can you recognize the name of the Sitong number?"

"I've heard people say, there's nothing wrong with that!"

……

Everyone talked about it, and there was no one who didn't give a thumbs up to Sitong's unassuming practice of doing such a good thing.

Seeing that everyone was so praised and gave everyone enough time to discuss, he said loudly: "Sitong is benevolent and righteous, and has a family and people in his heart, but our Pingnan Army owes Sitong the silver, won't it be repaid?" ”

In a word, everyone's attention was drawn to him again.

Xiao Xiao said angrily: "No matter how benevolent and righteous people are, they can't let people take out the money for nothing." Three million taels of silver is not a small amount, the willow shopkeeper of the Sitong number went to cry with the king, they almost couldn't pass the New Year this year, and they used three million taels of silver for so long and did not pay it back, although the king had just come to serve as the marshal, but he was still very upset in his heart.

"Today, the king will leave his words here! This money must be repaid, and it will never lose a conscientious trader like Sitong! If you don't do it, then you are incompetent as an official! ”

As soon as these words came out, the people cheered and praised the responsible behavior of the owl.

Because he has already explained in his words that this silver was not borrowed by him Xiao Zhixi, but owed by his predecessor before he took office, and this matter had nothing to do with him.

But after he took office, he still shouldered this responsibility without hesitation and gave Sitong a promise.

Such a fair and responsible approach has raised the image of Xiao Xiao in the minds of the people by a few points. Especially those refugees who have seen the punishment of Gao Dianshi with their own eyes, at this time, the name of the god of war is already deeply rooted in their hearts.

The people cheered and praised Xiao Xiao's deeds.

And all the people in the boxes were all stunned as if they had been struck by lightning at this time.

Yu Chiyan's fists clenched tightly. His face flushed with astonishment and anger.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao would play his cards so unconventionally!

Would a normal person know that there is a trap in front of him, and still step into it without hesitation?

The silver was obviously not borrowed by the owl, but now he is asked to pay it back, and the large amount of three million taels is not three pennies or two pennies, where did he get the confidence to make such a bold statement in front of everyone?

Isn't he afraid that if he can't come up with this money in the future, he will be remembered for what he said today and poked in the back?

Or is it that he now has three million taels of silver in his hands, and now he is just shouting about it to gain a reputation for himself?

However, even if you have money in your hand, can you just take out three million taels and fill in the pit for others?

Wei Chiyan doesn't understand what he does, he really doesn't understand!

The depression in her heart was overwhelmed and she couldn't vent it, and Yu Chiyan couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "It's really sick!" ”

Gu Shixiong looked at Yu Chiyan when he heard this, shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If Wei Chiyan can have half of his skills and political acumen, why would he be so old that he is about to enter the ground, and he still has to worry about these court affairs.

"Lord, this is precisely the genius of Prince Zhongshun." Gu Shixiong sighed and said: "If he completely pushes the matter away, isn't he afraid that the Sitong Number will publicize the news that the commander of the Pingnan Army will not repay his debts?" ”

Yu Chiyan was asked, and if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case. Even if you lose a little bit, it is also cost-effective for people like Xiao Xiao to be able to not bear the name.

It's just that he was able to take out three million taels of silver in one go, which is enough to prove the financial strength and courage of Xiao Xiao.

Gu Shixiong looked at the change in Yu Chiyan's complexion, and knew that he must have thought of something wrong, and said helplessly: "Lord Wang, do you think that Xiao Zhixi will pay off his debts out of his own pocket?" ”

"Isn't it?" Yu Chiyan asked in surprise and confusion.

Gu Shixiong had an urge to hold his forehead, and his voice became a little weak.

"He must have thought of other ways to get money in advance, either he can get this huge amount of money, or there is a way to make Sitong no longer ask for money. In short, Xiao Zhixi would never take out such a sum of money to plug the hole.

"He is the commander of the Pingnan Army, if he falls on the road this time and has no choice but to pay out of his own pocket, then if this kind of thing happens again in the future, someone will let him suffer himself. After a long time, isn't a lot of silver enough? 1

"People are selfish, maybe he won't be willing to pay when the time comes, and he will be said to be unwilling to contribute to his family and country, where will Li Qitian go to join him."

Gu Shixiong said this, his voice was very gentle, and he had already used the greatest patience.

He's that age. If he can't teach Yu Chiyan well before he dies, the last dream of his life will not be fulfilled after all.

But Yu Chiyan didn't quite understand. At least not yet.

Sure enough, just when Yu Chiyan and Gu Shixiong were talking, Xiao Xiao had already said loudly:

"Governor Yang is here, right?" looked directly at the window on the second floor of the restaurant.

From this angle, what Yu Chiyan saw was Xiao Xiao looking in his direction.

Just when Wei Chiyan was surprised, all the people had already followed Xiao Xiao's line of sight.

In the private room next to Yu Chiyan, Qiu Feishan glanced at Governor Yang with a smile and said, "You better show up, if you insist on not showing up at this time, you will immediately say that you have made a turtle with a shrunken head in order to evade responsibility." ”

Governor Yang's forehead throbbed.

This feeling of stepping into it knowing that it is a trap is really not very good.

But as Qiu Feishan said, can he be a "shrunken turtle"? If he really did that, how could he be powerful in the old capital in the future?

Governor Yang gritted his teeth, had to stand up, walked to an angle where Qiu Feishan could not be seen outside, and pushed the lattice window open.

The people outside immediately saw the figure of Yang Zhifu.

Because the last time Governor Yang agreed to the conditions of the people, everyone thought that Governor Yang was a good official who did things for the people, and at this time, everyone's eyes were full of expectation and admiration when they looked at him.

Seeing this, Governor Yang had no choice but to squeeze out a smile and arch his hand: "How could the prince know that this mansion is here?" ”

He returned the salute and shouted loudly through the crowd: "Governor Yang cares about the people, not to mention that you must know the news that this king is going to talk to the people, why didn't Governor Yang come?" ”

Without giving Governor Yang time to react, Xiao Xiao said again: "Folks! Today, Governor Yang is here, and this king will give an explanation in front of the big guys. ”

Looking directly in the direction of Governor Yang's mansion, he ordered: "Governor Yang, this king will give you three months to return the three million taels of silver to Sitonghao." If you can't do it, your prefect won't do it. ”

Governor Yang was almost angry.

At first, he listened to what Xiao Xiao said, and when he wanted to pay the money himself, he just waited to see the excitement, wanting to see how Xiao Xiao finally fulfilled this lie.

Who would have thought that this shameless guy would actually ask him to pay back the money!

Governor Yang almost scolded people on the spot.

But downstairs, a pair of eyes are looking at him expectantly, Yang Zhifu is now tied to the high platform of morality, as long as he still wants fame and wants to continue to be an official here, he can't shake his head now.

Because the army has always been a sharp weapon for war, and it is not produced. The Holy Lord ordered the military to raise their own salaries, and they originally wanted the local government to pay for the money. This is a legitimate and justified thing.

But there was no tax in the old days!

"Lord Wang......" Yang Zhifu spoke, and the voice in his throat was very dry.

But the next moment's movement made Governor Yang's nose crooked.

He bowed his hand to the people and left with his subordinates!

This guy threw such a big black cauldron at him, and then patted his ass and left!

Governor Yang's teeth creaked, and he didn't understand for a while, how could there be such a brazen person in the world who could still call himself a hero! He didn't even give him a chance to resign!

Governor Yang arched his hand to the worshipping people, forcing himself to show a gentle smile to comfort everyone.

Qin Yining watched the whole process in the carriage, and the smile on the corner of his mouth on the way back to his home never faded.

She came up with an idea for Xiao Xiao, but she didn't expect Xiao Xiao to be so interesting and do things so beautifully, which made her, an insider, laugh all the way.

Thinking of Governor Yang's face that was bullied and forced to smile, Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

When he arrived at the gate of the Qin Mansion, he had already waited for Qin Yining for a long time.

Seeing her come back, Xiao Xiao stepped forward to take the place of Bingtang and Jiyun, and helped Qin Yining get out of the car.

"Why do you laugh like this? Is it that funny? Xiao Xiao tapped Qin Yining's forehead.

Qin Yining nodded, "Didn't you see the face of Governor Yang, I just want to laugh when I think that he used to calculate you, but now you are using Yang to plot and have no power to fight back." ”

Conspiracy is important, but it is the conspiracy that can make people feel interesting. Tell the other party clearly, but use strength to crush it, so that you can have a sense of accomplishment when you win.

The two entered the mansion, and the big hand of the owl held Qin Yining's thin white hand, and said with a smile: "He won't give up." I'm going to find it in a while. ”

Sure enough, the voice of the man fell, and the subordinate behind him trotted forward and replied: "Lord Wang, Governor Yang asks to see you." ”
