It has been three days since the notice of the Zezhou Mansion was posted, and there were people watching every day, except for the prefect who donated 30,000 taels, everyone had to donate a few thousand taels, and the few had a few dollars of silver.

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and one person asked, "Oh, this Lord Yang didn't add the 100,000 taels today?" ”

"100,000 taels is not a small amount, maybe you are still on the way?"

Everyone had different opinions, and one person said bluntly: "You don't know, Yang Tongzhi said '100,000 taels', not really to pay, but to force those merchants who do business to give a little more money." If you really want to come up with the money, the money has already been in place, and the matter of building a temple has been talked about for several months. It can be seen that the silver has not been delivered? It's that there is no money at all. ”

"It seems that this temple can't be built, without this silver, it depends on the sum of us ordinary people, and we can pay a few dollars."

"That's it! Isn't this government a deception? The crowd agreed.

"Oh, I thought, if we can build a new temple, won't we be able to find a job......"

"Damn, this is going to be wasted, I can pay a whole tael of silver."

Zhong Zihan stood under the flower window of the courtyard wall: "Yang Tongzhi, can you hear the rumors outside?" ”

"What do you mean by bringing me here?"

Zhong Zihan walked forward with his hands behind his back: "People, it's not about how much money you pay. As officials, we must speak our minds, and we will do what we promise. Your troubles have made people panic, and it really damages the reputation of my Zezhou Mansion. Tell me about the 100,000 taels, when will it be in place? ”

Zhong Zihan suddenly turned his head and was very contemptuous: "Actually...... You can't take it out, it doesn't matter. Just tell the reason in front of everyone, and no one will blame you. ”

Yang Shan's face turned red, and he lowered his head and gritted his teeth in reply: "Your Excellency doesn't need to work hard for this matter, this matter was proposed by the lower officials, and the lower officials have their own arrangements in their hearts, and in the end, they will definitely be able to give your adults a satisfactory answer." ”

"Since you say so, then the matter is entirely up to you. If something goes wrong, you're ......"

"If the lower official is willing, he will resign and leave."

Zhong Zihan frowned, and hurriedly shook his hand: "Young man, there's no need to say so much!" Okay then, I'm done. ”

Yang Shan stared at Zhong Zihan's departing back, wait, if I can't do this, I will have your surname, the more you obstruct, the more it will become my capital in the future.

He took out a list and handed it to the yacha: "Let all the stewards on this list wait for me at the Baiji Cloth Shop." ”

Yang Shan got out of the carriage, entered Bai Ji Cloth and went up to the second floor, looked at the two rows of people sitting in the house, and knocked on the palm of his hand with a fan: "Everyone is here, right?" But who hasn't come? ”

The yacha handed over a list: "There is a steward who has gone home to visit relatives, and there is a steward who is sick at home, and he has to ......."

Yang Shan glanced at the list: "Write them all down, and settle the accounts after the autumn." ”

"Yes!"

When they heard this, the stewards turned their heads to each other, and what was the situation?

One person asked with a smile: "I don't know what happened Lord Yang to gather us together?" ”

Yang Shan lifted the hem, sat back, and pushed the stool with a knowing face: "Tell me, how much money do you have on the books of this shop?" ”

With the posture of an uncle, he was stunned by the shopkeepers. Although everyone is working for an owner, it is the first time that this has happened. Looking at each other, muttering in their hearts, they couldn't figure it out at all, what did this official mean?

"Lord Yang, are you joking with us?"

He was the first to laugh, and everyone laughed stiffly.

Yang Shanyi slapped the table: "I look like I'm joking with you?" ”

"Your Excellency, what are you...... To tell you the truth, the things on the books in this shop are all private matters of each family. In addition to the inventory of the first quarter and the end of the year, those of us who are in charge of affairs are not even clear about each other's accounts. ”

Yang Shan didn't have the patience to listen, they looked sloppy: "Don't talk nonsense with me, you guys will sum it up by yourself, and see if you can vacate 100,000 taels of silver in the account?" ”

"This ......" the crowd looked embarrassed.

Yang Shan cocked Erlang's legs: "It's just 100,000 taels, if I want to take it, I will definitely be able to take it." Say, when will the money be available? I'm in a hurry to get cash. ”

Yang Shan was holding his breath at this time, and he couldn't wait, wanting to bring the 100,000 taels of silver to the Zhong Governor's Mansion. But his operation really scared the stewards, and finally someone couldn't sit still.

"Yo, my lord, I say something you don't like to hear! Are you taking out 100,000 taels of silver yourself, looking for a fat sheep to find our head, and use us to open the knife? ”

Yang Shan snorted coldly, thinking that the shop was all his, and what he wanted to do was not just a matter of words. "What, who doesn't want to give it?"

Another steward also stood up: "It's not a question of whether to give or not, the winnings on our account are all from the owner, except for the owner, we can't deploy it privately, we are just a small steward, or you discuss this matter with our owner." ”

"Okay, you'll get out of tomorrow, don't use it. Give me a good memory of him. Yang Shan said and instructed the yacha beside him.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what the situation was, and someone asked guessingly: "My lord, you are so indiscriminate, take the silver from us." But the proprietor told you to come? This proprietor is really, he wants to donate 100,000 taels of silver, tell us, and you will get it, how can you use it, do you bother the adults to come to the door to get it in person? ”

"What's the owner? You may not know, you shops are no longer surnamed Lin, they have all changed their surnames to me Yang. ”

In an instant, several people began to discuss.

"I wonder what credentials Lord Yang has? As far as I know, we did change owners, but this owner is not surnamed Yang. ”

Yang Shan waved back, and the yacha took up a stack of land deeds, and he put them on the table next to him: "Open your eyes wide, take a good look and look carefully, what is written here?" ”

Several people had heavy faces and hurriedly came up to take a look, but after reading it again and again, everyone was relieved, and even their eyes showed contempt and contempt.

Before someone could return to his seat, he smiled and said, "Lord Yang, are you crazy about silver, and you have blackmailed us for money?" ”

Yang Shan's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "What did you say? Are you blind? ”

The man laughed: "I don't say if our store is a century-old store, but I have also lived for decades in this piece of Zezhou." The officials I have seen are too big and small to count. What kind of never seen it, even the insatiable one, is also common. But I've never seen someone as shameless as you. ”

"Write down his name to me!"

Yacha wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and asked tentatively, "What is your name?" ”

"Don't remember me, Lord Yang, let's be honest with you, your title deed is fake! I see that you are really poor and crazy, you want to take the money, forget it, and take the fake title deed to blackmail, you are like this, this is the first time I have seen you. ”

The others couldn't hold back and laughed: "That is, if you don't have the 100,000 taels of silver, don't say that big thing in the first place." 100,000 taels of silver, do you think that if you open your mouth, touch it up and down, and it's over. If you really want to be able to get it out, it must be the savings of several lifetimes. ”

"I thought we were so excited to do something. It turned out that he asked us for 100,000 taels of silver. Why, with so much silver, you want to mold us into gold in the temple? ”

Yang Shan couldn't hear everyone's ridicule at all, his whole person was blind, he quickly looked at those land deeds, fake? How could it be fake! Even if he borrowed Lin Ming's courage, he didn't dare to make a fake one to fool him. How could this be fake!

Impossible, impossible, he quickly turned out those few pieces, the title deeds and documents approved in the morning: "These are all true, right?" ”

Everyone looked at it again, and some people even exaggerated, took it, flicked the hardness of the paper, and looked at the sun: "Hey, this imitation is real!" ”

The person on the side bumped him on the shoulder: "What do you say, this one is true, return it to Lord Yang quickly." ”

When Yang Shan heard that it was true, he didn't care about their attitudes: "What about the managers of these shops?" ”

"This is your shop, my lord, how do we know where this steward is?"

Everyone laughed again, looking at him like a monkey show, and he felt extremely humiliated.

"By the way, I'm kind enough to remind you. These shops used to be in the name of our young owner, but because of poor management, the goods have long been cleared, and the people have long been withdrawn, and it has been yellow for more than a month. ”

What the? Yang Shanjue's head was buzzing, this must be someone behind the ghost. In fact, from the day he lost it, he should have thought that except for Lin Shijun, who would steal that thing in this world. However, he is a little kid with no foundation, thinking that he can hide from it with a little cleverness, and he can still be afraid of him?

It just so happened that the money came out of his head.

"Go, call me your treasurer?"

Someone sneered: "Our shopkeeper has a lot of opportunities, and he is busy......"

"Why do you want to spend a few days in prison? Go and call! ”

I saw a person coming down the stairs: "Yo, Lord Yang, this is so angry." ”

Yang Shan looked at the person who came and looked a little familiar, could it be Lin Shijun. But it doesn't look like age, at this age, you can be Lin Shijun's father.

"Who are you?"

Bai Xiao took the fan and knocked on his palm: "I, I'm the person the adult is looking for, the owner of this store." ”

"It's you! But you are not Lin Shijun, could it be that you are the one who stole the title deed? ”

"There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add. What the adults said, please forgive the grass people for not understanding. However, these shops are indeed mine. ”

This person is not Lin Shijun, who else can there be besides the person who stole the title deed? Since they are like-minded people, they can negotiate a deal.

"Still denying? But it doesn't matter, I'll tell you the truth, as long as you give me 100,000 taels of silver, I won't pursue the theft. ”

Bai Xiao sat opposite him: "My lord is really joking, let's not talk about it, I don't have this 100,000 taels of silver." I just have, and I won't come out. I bought this shop from someone else, and as for whether it is a thief or not, it is someone else's business. Anyway, I only admit that the government's approval and signature are drawn. You can't say that the government's approval was also stolen. ”

Yang Shan smiled, approving this kind of thing: "Don't give me this set, your trick is all my leftovers." If you don't say it, it's okay, I'll let you be in Zezhou, untenable, if you still want this shop to open well, get acquainted. ”

Bai Xiao flipped his hands: "You are just a small government official, how can you get such great power?" ”

"What do you say?" Yang kindly pointed to the top, as if to say that he was "there is someone above".

Bai Xiao touched his cheeks: "That's really unfortunate, the current holy master is my wife's grandfather, I don't know if this is considered someone above?" ”

"Are you...... Bai Xiao! "I heard that Taifu is a prosperous man, and he has only one granddaughter, married to a businessman Bai Xiao.

"Yes, that's right."

Yang Shan was stunned, if someone else was fine, if it was him, he would not be afraid, I just hoped that he could ignore these things: "Then you...... You shouldn't care, you shouldn't care! Could it be that Taifu also wants to intervene in this matter? ”

Bai Xiao avoided the important and walked to his side: "I don't understand, what are you talking about?" But businessmen are not profitable. This shop can be sold to me at a low price, do you want me to spit out the fat in my mouth? How is this possible. What else? Is this a title deed? No matter how much you fake, you have to make it look decent, this is too fake, look at this flower and ink, the water will fall off as soon as it touches the word. ”

He picked up the stack of false title deeds and pressed them into his bosom.

Yang Shan was pushed by him and staggered: "Then you can't get this money." ”

"It's not impossible to go out, or I'll go back and discuss it with my wife at home first?"

Yang Shan gritted his teeth: "No need. Let's go. ”

He could only take people away with a disgraced face, damn Lin Ming, he dared to deceive him with a fake title deed, causing him to lose face.

As soon as he got into the carriage, he ordered, "Go and find Lin Ming." ”

Lin Ming has not returned to Lingchuan these days, and has been inquiring about Lin Huan's news, and when he heard Lord Yang's call, he came tremblingly, but as soon as he entered the door, he was stuffy and ate.

"My lord, why are you so angry today?"

Yang Shan picked him up from the ground and smashed the title deed on his face: "Lin Ming, you dare to lie to me with a fake title deed?" ”

"Small, don't dare to lie to adults. It's really my subordinate, who saw it in my nephew Lin Shijun's house and stole it, there will be no mistake, there shouldn't be anything wrong. Lin Ming got up, threw himself on the ground, and repeatedly compared those land deeds.

The mouth chattered: "There will be no mistakes, there will be no mistakes." ”

Yang Shan loosened his shoulders: "You say that?" Did you already know that it was your nephew who stole the title deed? Then you dare to beg me to let him go? ”

Lin Ming stopped what he was doing and looked at him: "No, no, my nephew once said that before Lin Qing was still alive, he made the title deed two main and secondary. The sub-title deed is used to do business to do business, and the main title deed is kept, just in case. So it's not, the lost sub-title, it's another main title. ”

Seeing that he didn't doubt it, Yang Shan only felt that he was stupid, and he actually found this kind of person to do things: "Could it be that you also believe this kind of nonsense?" ”

Lin Ming couldn't be sure: "The small one, I didn't believe it before." But my nephew said that all the big families in the capital do this. The little one thinks that it may indeed be different from us, a small place in the mountains and wilderness, after all, the villain has never been to the capital. ”

"Idiot! I have been in the capital for so many years, and I have never heard of any title deeds, which are two copies of the main and secondary. I don't think your nephew is stupid at all, but you look like a fool, maybe he is playing with you in the palm of his hand, you don't know it. ”

Lin Ming shook his head: "Impossible, how is it possible?" He shouldn't have lied to my ......"

Yang Shan laughed at himself: "Impossible, then you say, what should I do now?" The title deed is fake, and your nephew has found a good backer and sold the shop. You told me now, where to find 100,000 taels of silver? ”

Lin Ming had goosebumps on his back at that time, and said comfortingly: "My lord, don't worry. If it does, I'll look for it, I'll look for it. He sold the shop, and the money must be in his hands, so I'll go and find it. ”

"Then you hurry up, if you want to do it again this time, you can ......" Yang Shan made a stroke on his neck, and Lin Ming hurriedly ran out.

Yang Shan pulled his collar and was upset, a few years ago, this matter was done quite smoothly, but he was not careful. Lin Shijun also found a backer, Bai Xiao, if I remember correctly, it seems to be his own uncle. It seems that he doesn't want to get this 100,000 taels of silver, Lin Ming, this idiot.

Yang Shan thought of today, and said a big thing in front of the prefect, and now it is difficult to accept it. If he didn't have 100,000 taels of silver, not to mention that the temple couldn't be built, he wouldn't be able to be promoted, and I'm afraid he would have to keep his current official position.

How could this work, he had to think of a way to do it.

We have 100,000 people in Zezhou, 100,000 people.

Yang Shan's eyes lit up, and he thought about it: "Come on, I heard that there are 100,000 people in Zezhou." ”

Yacha thought for a while: "Lord Hui, when the population was counted the year before last, it was 100,000 people, and now it is estimated to be more than 100,000 people. ”

Yang Shan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, then you are ordered by me to go door to door to collect money, and everyone will have to give one or two pieces of silver." ”

"What are you doing with so much money?"

"Build a temple! How, do you have an opinion? ”

Yacha hurriedly lowered his head: "No, let's do it for the small one." ”

---

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. Yang Shan was in full swing to collect the silver, but he didn't even receive a thousand taels of silver, these people are really too poor! As for those merchants, the conversion is happy, but what's the use of that?

He even sold the three shops, but he didn't expect to be severely depressed, and he only got five hundred taels of silver, which is a drop in the bucket from one hundred thousand taels of silver.

Just as he was meditating and worrying, Lin Ming came with Lin Shijun. It turned out that Lin Shijun, who had been missing for a few days, was arrested by Lin Ming as soon as he returned to Zezhou.

Yang Shan was thinking, how could he squeeze out 100,000 taels from him, or tie him up and intimidate Bai Xiao, no, no, the old man Taifu is too troublesome.

"These fake title deeds, but you made them?"

Lin Shijun knelt on the ground, seriously flipped through the title deed, and said with a stupid smile: "How can these things be in your hands?" It's just that I'm bored and playing, so you won't take it seriously. ”

"Are you playing? Did you know that forging documents is a big prison sentence? ”

Lin Shijun took out a real title deed from his arms, put it in the same place as the fake one, and pointed to a different place: "Look, my lord, I am not forgery, the disguise should be exactly the same." It's really not like this, it's a person, everyone knows, it's not illegal to draw. ”

Yang Shan thought of the situation that day, he was annoyed and angry, and he went up and kicked him in the cheek, and Lin Shijun's nose bleeded.

Lin Ming hurriedly knelt down and blocked forward: "My lord, it's a small misunderstanding, and I mistakenly think it's true." ”

"You fuck off. Lin Shijun, you still dare to say that you didn't go to Yangcheng Zhao Mansion to steal the land deed? It's Lin Huan who should cooperate with the outside and assist you, right? ”

Lin Shijun wiped his nosebleed, and cowered and hid behind Lin Ming: "My lord is wronged, my lord, what you said, I really didn't." ”

"No, you don't have a title deed? How did you sell the shop? ”

Lin Shijun scratched his head: "I don't know." ”

Lin Ming raised his hands and hugged Yang Shan's raised push: "My lord, don't be angry. My nephew is dead-eyed, I let him tell the truth, what are you talking nonsense? Listen to Uncle Ming's words and be honest with adults? ”

"Loosen." Lin Ming hurriedly let go of his hand, laughed with him, wiped Yang Shan's shoes with his sleeve, patted his trouser leg, and retreated.

Lin Shijun hugged Lin Ming: "Uncle Ming, I'm afraid." This adult is so fierce. ”

"Don't be afraid, if you tell the truth, adults won't embarrass you."

When Lin Shijun hugged him, he could feel that his whole body was trembling, but he smiled and told him that it was okay, and his heart was very stuffy for a moment.

"I don't know how to take care of my shops, and Uncle Ming won't take care of them, and I don't make money. I gave it to my uncle to take care of, and I also told my uncle about the title deed, and my uncle said that he could handle it, and he also said. After that, I was given three taels of silver every month, and I felt very good. ”

Yang Shan squinted his eyes and looked at him, and his tone was cold: "What! You didn't get the money? January 32, are you pretending to be stupid? ”

There was a quick knock on the door: "My lord, something is wrong...... The people are making a stir outside! ”

Yang Shan glanced out the window: "Later, besides, are you busy?" ”

Before the words fell, Zhong Zihan kicked the door open: "There is such a big disaster, what are you busy with?" ”

"Isn't it just 100,000 taels of silver, and the lower officials will soon add to this deficit."

Zhong Zihan glanced at the room: "Add to the deficit?" You'd better deal with the people making trouble outside the yamen first. This official seems to remember that you said that if you can't do this thing, you will automatically resign, and now it seems that this official does not need to resign by yourself. ”

Seeing that Zhong Zihan was about to go out, Lin Shijun shouted: "Master Qingtian, help." The grass people didn't know what mistake they had made, so they were arrested and beaten by Lord Yang, and they were forced to ask about the whereabouts of the money deposited in the family. ”

Lin Shijun had a nosebleed face, a mouth, and there was blood in his mouth, the kick just now was in his face, and his teeth broke the flesh in his mouth, and now his face began to swell, and he was really embarrassed to look at.

Zhong Zihan clapped his hands: "Very good, Yang Tongzhi is really very methodical, without detention, he lynched a good person, how do you explain this?" ”

Yang Shan laughed a few times: "The adults misunderstood." Xia Guan, suspected that he was related to a theft case, Xia Guan was collecting evidence, he was speechless, flouted the royal law, and contradicted a few words, so I started to teach him a lesson, not to mention that I am defending the dignity of the court, the supremacy of imperial power, how can such a stupid little people be despised. ”

"My lord, I don't."

Zhong Zihan raised his hand, signaled him to shut up, and quickly left with Yang Shan.

Sitting outside the door, the troublesome people, everyone said bitterly: "This Yang Tongzhi is not a good thing, just took office, this ass is not hot yet, just thinking about greedy silver, changing the way to ask us to take silver, what to build a temple, it is all a pretense, I think Lord Zhong is also kept in the dark." ”

One woman cried, "Isn't it? We are a family of nine, old and young, the family of the family, I fell and injured my waist while working, all rely on me alone, make money to support the family with the soles of my shoes, and live a tight life. But this entry door costs nine taels of silver, isn't this my life? Where do I have nine taels of silver? ”

Others comforted: "Don't worry, our prefect is a good official, and he is a native of Zezhou, he will not care if we live or die, and will definitely call the shots for us." ”

Zhong Zihan took a group of officials and pointed outside: "Look at it now, what should I do?" ”

Yang Shan turned his fist: "These Diao people are all used to it, just fight a few times." I'm going to drive them away. ”

Zhong Zihan grabbed Yang Shan: "Yang Tongzhi, I have written to the court to clarify this matter." You abused your power, extorted money from the people, and forced the people of Zezhou to live in poverty, you still have something to say! ”

"My lord has wronged, I ...... I'm praying for the blessing of the Son of Heaven. Did Lord Zhong think that the people should not pray for the blessing of the Son of Heaven? ”

Yang Tongzhi is right, praying for the blessing of the Son of Heaven should be done by the people. Then you said 100,000 taels of silver, but you didn't take a penny, is it disrespectful to Your Majesty? ”

Yang Shanzuo: "The lower officials don't dare." ”

"Don't dare, I think you're very bold. You indiscriminately arrested the little guy of Zhao County in Yangcheng County, not only despised the officials of the same dynasty, but also did not listen to their justifications. Even wronged others for stealing, and even, abused lynching without evidence and cut off people's hands and feet, what crime should you be guilty of? ”

Yang Shan lowered his body: "The lower officials were confused for a while, and the investigation was not clear. ”

Zhong Zihan smiled: "I don't think it's a moment of confusion, that is, relying on himself to be an official, he not only oppresses his colleagues, but also oppresses the people, and even uses His Majesty's name to fish the people." I don't need an official like you to do evil. ”

Yang Shan hurriedly said: "My lord, there is a misunderstanding here, please listen to my explanation." ”

"Needless to explain, everything is clear. Eat the king's lu, be loyal to the king, you are not only disrespectful to Your Majesty, but also unkind to the people, you are really not worthy of being this parent official, come here, lock up Lord Yang for me, do you have any objections? ”

The other officials chimed in: "Your Excellency, we need colleagues who work for the benefit of the people, not such black sheep." ”

Yang Shan was suppressed by the two of them, and then he reacted: "My lord, you can't detain me, I'm the official of the imperial court." Besides, you have imprisoned me, this 100,000 taels of silver, if you can't take it out, this White Dragon Temple will not be built, the family teacher has made it clear to Your Majesty the intention of building a temple, Your Majesty is very optimistic, do you want Your Majesty to be disappointed in Zezhou? ”

"This is my Zezhou business, so I don't have to worry about you, a prisoner!"

Zhong Zihan pinched his eyebrows, pushed open the door of the yamen, and walked out, only to see that the crowd of the people began to surge, and the yamen couldn't stop it.

"Lord Zhong! You can be considerate and considerate of our suffering! We can't afford to pay this person's silver taels. ”

"yes, we can't afford it."

Zhong Zihan raised his hand again and again, signaling everyone to be quiet, but Ren was crying bitterly: "Everyone listen to me first!" It's all quiet, listen to me first. You are the people of Zezhou, and I am the parent official of Zezhou. I will never let you live in this place and force you to leave here. So, this one or two pieces of silver per person......"

"I'm out!"

For a while, there was no sound, the air was quiet, and everyone looked at the young man with his arms covered in blood.

I only heard the young man say: "I will give 100,000 taels of silver!" For the 100,000 people in Zezhou, one person will give one or two. ”
