Chapter 160: The Zheng Family

It seems that this side is more serious than we thought. Song San whispered to Jiang Xidao.

Yes, Jiang Xi also heard the words of Lord Song's subordinates just now, and even the official road was full of corpses, so you can imagine how many people have died. Once the plague breaks out, I'm afraid that no amount of medicinal materials will be available.

"The county magistrate here doesn't know who it is, and he actually concealed such important news, doesn't this put everyone to death."

"When my father arrives, I will definitely bring him to ask for guilt!" Song San's face also became gloomy, this appearance was really a little similar to that Lord Song.

Jiang Xi is also rare to see him like this, sure enough, he is a child of an official family, no matter how gentle and elegant he looks on weekdays, he is angry, so majestic and domineering, ordinary people really can't catch up.

The horse continued on its way, and there was still more than half an hour to go.

……

At this time, in the dilapidated carriage, the county magistrate of Nayangshui County had a solemn face.

What did he see just now, the girl who followed the crowd was not the river stream of his family!

Although he hasn't been back for about two years, he will never forget his daughter's appearance.

How could his daughter get on the line with the people of the Song family, and she looks very familiar with it. After all, it is impossible for the Song family to bring an unrelated person to this Yangshui County.

Suddenly, his expression froze, could it be that his identity was exposed?

The more he thought about it, the more panicked Jiang Cheng became.

"Master, what's wrong?" His wife, Hong, looked at him worriedly, and after the old man looked back at the people and horses over there just now, his face had been ugly.

Jiang Chengze's pupils shrank, and he put away his nervous look, he couldn't mess up at this time. Maybe it's not like that at all, and even if he recognizes it, what can he do, he has escaped now, he still has the money in his hand, his wife and beautiful concubine, and he will find another place to change his name and surname. No matter what, there is always a place for him in the world.

Moreover, he felt that it was really unlikely that Lord Song would know about it.

At the time of the scientific expedition, the county seat on his side happened to change the county order, and his Yue's family, which was the original Hong family, used all the connections and wasted a lot of money to change his name and surname, erasing all traces of the past. Now, he is no longer the Jiang Chengze, but the county magistrate of this Yangshui County.

Because the year he took office, Lord Song of the provincial capital went to the capital to obey orders, so he didn't even see this Shangguan, so he came directly to take office. The only people who have really seen him and know him are the people from this Yangshui County.

He has always been cautious and cautious, and his true identity should not be discovered.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he must not scare himself.

"Nothing." Facing his wife Hong's return, at this time, he can no longer let the people who follow him be frightened, especially these two women, in case they panic and say something wrong, their own business over the years has been all lost, and whether this life can be saved is a question.

"It's good that we escaped quickly, the imperial court sent someone over so quickly."

Hearing him say this, the Hong family also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had been discovered. If that were the case, she glanced down at the jewels in her hand, and when the time came, she blamed them all and ran away with them.

The beautiful concubine didn't dare to speak, and only swept towards her master with big eyes from time to time. Until now, she didn't know what had happened. However, the fact that her own master was willing to bring himself was enough to make her grateful.

"Master, this car is too slow, why don't we go to the neighboring county and change to a big car? I just happened to inquire about the situation. "Hong squirmed around in this cramped carriage, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he sat down. Moreover, it was still a mountain road, and the road was so bumpy that she almost threw up her breakfast.

Jiang Cheng said with a calm face: "I'll talk about it then." ”

Hong muttered dissatisfiedly, and in the end he could only endure the broken and small carriage.

……

The fast horse of the Song family really deserves its reputation, originally the average horse has to walk at least a distance of more than one or two hours, and it took them more than half an hour to arrive in Jiangxi.

At the gate of the city, the subordinate who had previously rode to the Yangshui County Ya was waiting for their arrival.

"Your Excellency!" Seeing Lord Song coming, the subordinate hurriedly dismounted and half-knelt at the city gate. Seeing this, those officials in Yangshui County knelt down and saluted. "See Lord Inspector!"

"Get up." The majestic voice sounded, and suddenly those officials stood up neatly on both sides, and the city gate suddenly became a solemn atmosphere.

"Where is the county order of Yangshui County?"

Several officials looked at each other cautiously, but they did not dare to speak. In the end, it was Lord Song's subordinates who stood up.

"My lord, I just took your token to the county government to see it, and the county order of Yangshui County is not in the yamen. The subordinates took people to his mansion to check again, but the people had long since disappeared, and the valuables in the mansion were gone. ”

Lord Song's face sank, "What a county order of Yangshui County, such a big thing happened, he actually dared to run away with his smuggling and leave this mess behind." Someone's coming! ”

"In!"

"Immediately issue an order to me to arrest this county magistrate of Yangshui County, but whoever provides his whereabouts will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver!"

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately!"

"Drive!" Continue to ride his horse to the county office, now that the county magistrate of Yangshui County has run away, he can only sit in the town here, otherwise the court will blame him, and he, the inspector, will also be affected.

After Jiang Xi and Song San arrived in this county seat, they did not go to the county seat as soon as possible, but took a few people and rushed to the major pharmacies in the county seat.

"What's going on here!"

Song San dismounted and stared at the closed pharmacy.

Among the people they brought, there was this official from Yangshui County, who immediately stood up and said: "Back to Gongzi, because of the sudden outbreak of the plague yesterday, there were heavy casualties outside the city, and many people came to the county town to grab medicine. At present, almost all the pharmacies in the county are closed. Including the following towns and villages, they are all closed. ”

Song San didn't say anything, Jiang Xi glanced at the door, even at this time, there were still people banging on the door and trying to get medicine. The shopkeeper of the pharmacy said this, in fact, it is understandable, no one can withstand these robberies to forcibly seize the medicinal materials.

"Maybe that's a good thing, at least the medicinal materials here are all intact, let's ask the owner of the pharmacy, right?"

"Well, that's exactly what I thought." Song San looked at the yacha and asked, "Who is the biggest medicinal herb merchant on your side, take me to meet him." ”

Not long after, Jiang Xi and Song San were taken to a large mansion.

Although the terrain of Yangshui County is good, it is better to do business than their county, but to be able to do such a big family business, no matter how you think about it, this person is not simple.

"I've seen Song Gongzi." As soon as they were taken to the pavilion on a rockery, a man in a long robe got up and bowed his hand towards Song San, and that kind of bearing was not at all like that of ordinary merchants.

Song San raised his chin and bowed his hand slightly, then found a place to sit down.

If the man in the caftan is gentle and elegant, then Song San is full of extravagance at the moment, which is difficult to ignore.

The man in the long shirt smiled at Jiang Xi again, and then sat down again.

"The reason why the two of you came to me was guessed below."

"So what are you going to do?" Song San also got straight to the point and asked directly, he didn't like to play dumb riddles with people. This man is a smart man, and he should know how to choose.

Closer to the imperial court, the merchant can last for a long time, otherwise he will be charged with a crime at will, which is not something he can afford as a businessman.

The man in the long shirt smiled slightly, and said helplessly: "Song Gongzi, you are here in person, do I still have a choice?" ”

"You can naturally choose, I'm not here to force you, and the court won't force you. It's just that after some problems are chosen, you always have to bear the consequences! "There was a sound on the ground.

"Huh." The man in the long shirt chuckled, if this was not a force, he didn't know what was a force. However, even if the people of the Song family didn't come to him, he would take the initiative to send it to the door.

Their Zheng family, the business in this Yangshui County is very big, and even the county magistrate here has no way to take him. However, it is also a little difficult for the Zheng family to develop again, and they have reached their peak in Yangshui County.

In his opinion, this plague disaster is not a bad thing, but a good opportunity, an opportunity to have a relationship with the Song family in the provincial capital.

"Song Gongzi laughed, now there is a plague everywhere in this Yangshui County, as a person from this Yangshui County, I naturally should do my part." As he spoke, he clapped his palms, and immediately brought out the three-horse cart of medicinal materials from the inner courtyard.

"These are all medicinal materials donated by our Zheng family for this plague. For the rest, all the medicinal materials in the Zheng family's medicinal herb shops were sold to the government at a seven-percent discount. Song Gongzi knows that we businessmen can't lose too much, and it will be over if we are injured. ”

Song San's eyes stared, and he looked at the medicinal materials in the three carriages, this thing is worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, plus a seven-fold discount on the medicinal materials, the Zheng family has indeed done enough.

Standing up, without the arrogance he had before, Song San bowed deeply to the man in the long robe.

"The Zheng family's kindness to the court and our Song family this time, I, Song Yi, remember it! When the plague is over, I will have my father appear in the court. ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the face of the man in the long robe.

"Song Gongzi is serious, as long as we can help the people of Yangshui County get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, everything is worth it for our Zheng family."

Song San also smiled slightly, he had heard too many polite words, if there was really no benefit, the Zheng family would not do it.

"Come on, transport this medicinal herb to the county government for me!"
