Chapter 547: Gloomy Swordsman
"It turned out to be Master Su."
Su Zhiming smiled and opened the folding fan and fanned the heat, "It's really fateful, I am also surnamed Su." In this case, even if the twenty taels of silver are funded by me, in order to thank the lord of your mansion for his kindness. It is a good thing to use these 20 taels of silver to buy more rice and make more porridge for the victims. β
casually sells it for twenty taels of silver, which is this an ordinary businessman?
The housekeeper said in his heart, this person is either not an ordinary businessman, or he has a big business, no matter what kind of thing he can't afford to offend, he hurriedly said: "This Master Su, our master is in the house, please go in and talk to our master?" β
"No need."
Su Zhiming waved his hand, glanced back at his attendants, and motioned for them to write down the name of this master.
"I still have important things to do, and I don't have time to delay, if he is destined to meet him one day, he will naturally be able to see him. It's just thisβ"
He pointed to the little man holding the jar, and the housekeeper understood it when he saw it, if it weren't for him, I was afraid that Su Zhiming would not take so much silver to subsidize, "I'll fill the jar for him to take back!" β
Saying that, he took the jar and scooped the thick rice porridge at the bottom of the porridge bucket, the little man was grateful, and hurriedly knelt down for Su Zhiming, "Thank you Master Su, thank you Master Su!" β
Su Zhiming ordered someone to help him up, and then didn't say anything more, and left the porridge shed with his attendants.
After he left, the housekeeper finally felt that this matter was strange, and hurriedly went in to return to his master, "...... This is the twenty taels of silver left by the old man Su, take a look. β
Master Su took the heavy twenty taels of silver, and when he saw that the color was extremely pure, he couldn't help but be surprised, "What did you say about that person's surname?" β
"He only said that he was also surnamed Su, and said that it was a coincidence, and he had the same surname as the master."
Master Su asked, "What is he born like?" β
"He was a young man, white and delicate, with a folding fan in his hand. It's not like a businessman, it's like a reader. β
"Oops, confused!"
Master Su hurriedly got up from his seat, as if he wanted to chase Su Zhiming outside the door, but the housekeeper hurriedly supported him, "Master, people have already gone far away, and now I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up." β
Master Su thought about it for a while, and then walked back, "Don't you know?" This time, Qin Cha, who came to the northwest for disaster relief, is also surnamed Su, and Zhi Zhiming is a young and handsome young man. β
The butler was taken aback.
"Master, do you mean that it was Lord Qincha who was talking to me outside the door?"
Master Su sighed, eight is not far from ten.
It's a pity that he wasn't there just now, and Lord Qincha passed through the door and didn't enter, which was really rude to him. If you can invite you to come in and sit down and have a cup of tea, then Su Mansion will be full of brilliance......
Su Zhiming continued to walk forward with his attendants, and couldn't help but admire, "I only heard that the drought in the northwest caused some profiteers to maliciously raise the price of rice, but I didn't expect that there were still merchants as kind as that Master Su." β
The attendant said, "My lord, just now when you were talking, your subordinates inquired about the people around you. It turned out that although Mr. Su started as a businessman, he wanted his son and nephew to study and become a careerist. The merchant has a low status, and if he does more good deeds, it will be beneficial to his sons and nephews in the future. β
"I see."
Su Zhiming nodded, "In this case, when you return to the post house, you will pass on my order and send a plaque to praise his good deeds." So that people know that good deeds are rewarded, so that these rich families who have spare power can help the poor people more. β
β¦β¦
However, in half a day, the plaque written by Su Zhiming himself was sent to Su Mansion.
There are four big words on it - "House of Goodness".
The Su family went out to kneel to greet them, so they were even more sure that the businessman who passed by in front of the door in the morning was Su Zhiming.
Master Su was overjoyed and decided to take his children and nephews to visit Su Zhiming in person.
One is to show his sincerity, and the other is to let his sons and nephews see the world and see the majesty of the imperial court.
If Su Zhiming can appreciate and give some advice, it will also be a great thing for these children.
Just do it, Master Su let his eldest son and the nephew of the eldest brother's family go with him to thank him, who knew that before he went out, he heard that a guest came to visit.
When Master Su went out, he saw that he was a man in rags, with a gloomy face.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "You're late, we're done with today's soup kitchen." But if you're really hungry, you can go to the back kitchen to eat. Butler, take him there! β
"I'm not here for porridge."
The gloomy man's sleeves were raised, revealing a sword at his waist, and he unsheathed the sword, which frightened Master Su and retreated.
The man threatened in a low voice, "I know that you are going to visit Qin Cha Su Zhiming and take me with you, otherwise your family's life will not be guaranteed!" β
β¦β¦
The carriage of the Su Mansion stopped outside the government office, and the officials of the government went in to report.
In the carriage, Master Su and his son and nephew shrank on one side, and the gloomy swordsman sat alone on the other side.
"You said, then Su Zhiming himself paid twenty taels of silver and asked you to give more porridge to the people, is it true or false?"
"Naturally, it's true, otherwise what would we thank?"
Master Su was protecting his son on the one hand, and he was bitter in his heart.
It's really joyful.
He was rejoicing in this opportunity with Su Zhiming today, but he didn't expect to provoke this evil star when he turned his head, so he had to follow them to see Su Zhiming.
The swordsman frowned, "According to what you say, he is indeed a clean official, and the so-called 'Su Qingtian' in the mouth of the people is indeed praising him?" β
"Naturally!"
Master Su's nephew was older, and he said boldly: "This hero, I don't think you are an arrogant and unreasonable person, why did you threaten us to bring you to Lord Qincha?" If you have any grievances or shortcomings, just say them, and I think Chincha-sama will definitely help you. He can't help but ask for help even a small person with a weak wife and children, if you tell me your grievances, I think he will be willing to help you. β
Master Su secretly gave him a look and motioned him to stop talking.
If you annoy this swordsman, what if you break his neck with a sword?
Unexpectedly, the youngest son in his arms also struggled, "The eldest brother is right. This hero, even if Master Su refuses to help, we will definitely persuade him. We read a lot of books in the school, and I heard that this Master Su is also a scholar, so we used the truth in the book to persuade him, not afraid that he would not listen. β
The swordsman's gloomy gaze swept over the faces of the two children, and just when Old Master Su was so scared, he suddenly laughed heartily.
The sword was retracted from its sheath.
"That's it. If the Lord is indeed a clean official as you say, I am willing to bear the guilt. If not, I will kill them to get angry with the people!" β
He looked at Master Su, "Don't worry, no matter what, I won't implicate your family." β
