Chapter 100 The Zheng family is not bad for money
The thick brown lacquer door branch slowly opened.
The crowd outside suddenly crowded over, but the table in front of Zheng Dian blocked the way. Zheng Dian just watched the crowd quietly.
"Eldest sister, why is Zheng Dian coming forward, what about his uncle, second uncle and fourth uncle?" Yue Jiao'er was standing under the jujube tree on the side at the moment, and said with a strange expression.
Sister Li Yue was also strange in her heart, but she didn't know what the Zheng family was doing, so she had to wait and see what happened.
"Boy, what are you doing here? Hurry up and call your uncle, fourth uncle and fourth aunt out, don't be that shrinking turtle, you have to give us an explanation today. It was Li Shugen who spoke.
"Yes, go quickly, let them come out and confess." There are people on the side who should respond. They all stared at Zheng Dian with red eyes. It's really a response, and it's scary.
"Uncle Shugen, my Zheng family has never been the shrunken turtle, I'm just strange, Uncle Shugen, you keep shouting and explaining, what is this for? The conviction of the yamen has to let the prisoner know what mistake he made, could it be that which of my younger brothers didn't open his eyes and provoked your daughter, or which muddy boy peeked at his aunt taking a bath, if this is the case, Uncle Shugen, don't worry, I will definitely tear their skin and give you an explanation. Zheng Dian was standing at the table at this time, a gown was open, revealing wheat-colored flesh, and at this moment he slapped his chest with a bang, swearing with a face. It's so sincere.
It's just that no one knows, in the dog weather, this kid's vest is in a cold sweat at this moment, so many people are around, and it is such a situation, can there be no pressure? Can you not break out in a cold sweat?
Ultimately. This kind of thing, Zheng Dian is also the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair, and the pressure is great.
"Poof." As soon as Zheng Dian's words fell, the crowd burst into laughter.
Sister Li Yue stood at the back of the crowd. Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh for a while, this pawn boy. It's really muddy, he actually buried Uncle Shugen in front of the public, he was not afraid of the annoyed Uncle Shugen fighting with him, and he didn't look at when it was, this kid is still so nonsense.
Sister Li Yue thought, her heart rose again, and her eyes looked at the crowd surrounding the Zheng family in front of her from the side. I found that the tense expressions on everyone's faces were relaxed, and some individuals still had a strange smile on their faces that was difficult to understand. It was the root of the plum tree, with an angry face and a red neck, but the momentum of righteousness and sternness before was gone, as if it was a cat that had been caught with a sore foot.
Look at the situation. Sister Li Yue suddenly understood, this kind of teasing the little girl, or peeking at the sisters-in-law taking a bath is the favorite thing for the boys in the town, every time the townspeople talk about this, although they grit their teeth with hatred, they can't bear to laugh and scold, and there will be a kiss in the tone, no way, everyone grew up when they were young. When I was a child, I didn't do this kind of muddy thing, so when I encountered this kind of thing, I couldn't help but slap and laugh and scold, but in the end it became a topic of conversation after dinner.
And the gag of the pawn boy is very sincere. While making people howl, it destroyed the original atmosphere of the townspeople who hated the same enemy, and they looked at the jokes one by one. The whole atmosphere immediately eased a lot.
In this way, the next thing can be talked about calmly, this kid, I didn't see it, but I have a long heart, this play is good, Sister Li Yue praised in her heart, she doesn't think that this boy really doesn't know what Uncle Shugen's explanation is, after all, last night, she had asked Mo Yi to come to the Zheng family to explain this matter, and the boy was obviously intentional at this time, deliberately laughing at Uncle Shugen to ease the atmosphere.
"Hun boy, don't gag, swaying him, I'm talking about the silver I have in your fourth aunt's hands, I'm going to repair the house soon, your fourth aunt obviously promised to return it to me, but she didn't say anything, it dragged on until now, and my house has not been repaired until now, isn't this harmful? In short, your Zheng family must give me an explanation today. Li Shugen said angrily.
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Zheng Dian was addicted to this performance, and at this time, the second monk was still confused, and then turned his face to Tie Zhu and said, "Fifth brother, you go and ask the fourth aunt, is this true?" If it's true, then bring the deposit contract of Uncle Shugen's family, what a big deal. Zheng Dian said lazily, but he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, at least at this moment, Uncle Shugen was not responding to his words, and the situation was much better than when he first opened the door.
Waiting for the iron pillar to leave, Zheng Dian beckoned the molten iron again, Zheng Xing and a few other children who were seven or eight or ten years old, and asked them to go to the kitchen to hold a stack of large sea bowls, and pour cool well water into each bowl.
"Uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, it's a hot day, it's noon, our family is in a mess now, there is no other entertainment, just a bowl of well water, everyone to cool off, stand tired and sit down, let's slowly explain what is going on." Zheng Dian put on his clothes at this time, buttoned up the placket that was open before, and then gave it away.
This flip style made the people around the Zheng family look stupid, thinking all the time, anyway, Li Shugen is in front, and wait and see what happens to Li Shugen first. So, they sat down on the ground and drank the well water. The situation is becoming more and more harmonious.
Yes, this guy is really here, and Sister Li Yue is watching it very vigorously from the back of the crowd. Yuejiao couldn't help but rub her belly with a smile.
"This kid, it's quite capable, this script is all set, whew, it scared me before." At this time, someone on the side said, Sister Li Yue saw that it was Yang Steward of the River Workers Yamen, and he was standing next to the town elder and town general Jia who were touching beads of sweat.
These people are also under a lot of pressure, if things get out of control, the Zheng family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the two sides fight, and there are casualties, then they will inevitably be responsible for negligence and inaction. If you don't know it, you have to eat all of them.
At this time, Zheng Tiezhu came back with a wooden box and trotted back: "Dian boy, the fourth aunt said, Uncle Shugen's matter is true, this is his contract." Zheng Tiezhu said, took out a contract from the box and handed it to Zheng Dian.
"It's true, that's easy to do, just return it to him. Six taels of silver, right, the deadline has not been reached, and it is said that there is no benefit in only returning the principal. Zheng Dian looked at the contract. Then he ordered the silver and pushed it on the table.
Li Shugen was thinking about this bit of silver, and Zheng Dian was so simple at this time, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly handed over the contract. carried six taels of silver into his arms.
"Look, this isn't solved, but a small thing the size of a sesame seed has caused such a big scene." Zheng Dian was still thinking about it. He's the way he looks. It seems that others are too hard to move the crowd, which makes everyone stupid for a while.
"As for ours, we will also take the silver." At this time, several people in the crowd looked at each other and shouted at the same time holding up the contract in their hands. These people all live in the east of the town, and on weekdays, only the Zhou family is the head of the horse, and the person who speaks for the head is called Zhou Chongsan
"Is yours due? Or do you have to repair your house? Asking for a daughter-in-law or something? Zheng Dian swept away his previous relaxed appearance at this time, and the whole person stood up and stared at those people.
"It's not due, I don't repair the house, I don't have a daughter-in-law to ask for it. But we are going to get the money back. Those people said confidently.
"Not due? If you don't repair a house and ask for a daughter-in-law, but you insist on getting the money back, what is the use of the contract, and can all the credibility be thrown into the dry canal? I can see it, you guys are looking at our Zheng family to talk well, right, teasing our Zheng family, it's really our Zheng family that can't be bullied. Zheng Dian's eyes widened at this time, and he was also fierce for a while.
Don't say it, this guy is angry. Those people couldn't help but stagnate: "We don't want to do this either, but the big guys have seen it, the Zheng family's north house burned down last night, and the Zheng family's money and property were all in the hands of Mrs. Zheng, that is, they were all placed in the north house, and now they are all burned down." And Zheng Si and Zheng Si Niangzi have lost all the silver that everyone has saved, and now they don't even dare to show their faces, we can only find the Zheng family, there are many dreams this night, if you still want to keep the silver, you have to take it now, otherwise, there will be no store in this village. ”
Immediately, the crowd began to stir again.
Seeing this situation, Sister Li Yue couldn't help clenching her fists, this person was obviously inciting people's hearts, it was arranged by the Zhou family, and sighed in her heart, in the end, the Zheng family still has to speak with silver in the end, after all, there is still a law not to blame the public, that is, the pawn boy has all kinds of abilities, and without silver to speak, I am afraid that it will be difficult to pass the test smoothly. The layout of this whole incident is to count the Zheng family dead.
Zheng Dian squinted his eyes at this time, and after a while, he slapped his face vigorously and said: "It's really strange, my family's affairs, where is my family's money, why do you outsiders know better than me one by one, there is one thing, you may not know, I am here to tell you that our house was on fire last night, and my third brother Tiehan went to Tongzhou overnight to inform the uncle and me, but when we came back, we met water bandits in Thirteen Bays, and there was a boat on the dock where we killed them, if you don't believe it, you can go and see, What does it mean that the fire last night was so strange that even we came back overnight? Shrewd people should be able to think of it, if anyone can't think of it, then I tell you, this is someone who is hacking at my Zheng family, but who this person is, we don't know yet, but these people make me suspicious, they seem to know the situation of my family very well, will there be something ulterior in this. ”
Zheng Dian said this, and the people around him were in an uproar, but they didn't expect that there was such a thing secretly, and some thoughtful people secretly pondered about today's matter.
"You, don't spray people with blood, your family said this outside, many people in the town know, don't deliberately change the topic without money." As those people spoke, they turned their faces and said to the townspeople who were gathered in front of them: "Don't be fooled, the Zheng family is using bitter meat tricks, the Zheng family is in trouble now, but it doesn't matter about our business, we can't let our silver go down the drain, and if you take the silver to me, there will be nothing." Everyone said yes. ”
The man continued to stir up.
"No, we know that the Zheng family is in trouble now, but it's not easy for us to save some silver all year round." There are people around who should be reconciled. Although I know that there are some difficulties for the Zheng family, my own silver is the most important.
The crowd began to be a little chaotic again.
"Okay, you really want to take it, right? I'll take them all for you. Zheng Dian had a calm face at this time, and took out another box from the drawer of the table, and when he opened it, there were two silver tickets on it, and the thick one below was not very clear, but looking at the exposed edges and corners, it was nothing more than the title deed and house deed.
Zheng Dian patted the wooden box heavily at the moment: "Everyone can take it if they want, but no one will have so much cash on hand, so I have to ask everyone to give it a few days." After all, your contract has not expired, my request is reasonable, of course, I also know that everyone is worried that my Zheng family will not come out. But what are you afraid of, here is the title deed, and such a big family business of my Zheng family is placed in front of everyone. Can you still run away, the old man, the town boss A and Lord Yang are all on the scene, and now you can ask them to testify, even if these deeds of our house are mortgages, my Zheng family will never lose a penny of silver. Zheng Dian said, and pointed to the old man Yang Dongcheng and others who were standing behind the crowd with Sister Li Yue.
Zheng Dian is clear. This promise must be there, otherwise, there is the matter of the fourth uncle's family, and the fire is in front of it, and there is no mortgage. You can't reassure the people in the town, this is what Uncle told before.
Everyone in the town looked back at the old townman and his party. The town elder and Yang Dongcheng glanced at each other, and Yang Dongcheng said: "Don't worry, everyone, I, Yang Dongcheng, and the town old town general A will testify for everyone together." Yang Dongcheng said, anyway, he must not let the Zheng family collapse, in that case, he will not stay long in the Hegong Yamen.
As soon as Zheng Dian said this, and then Yang Dongcheng and others came forward to testify, the people in the town couldn't help nodding. yes, what are you afraid of with these as a pledge?
And those people looked at each other at this time, and Zhou Chongsan was still secretly thinking that the Zheng family's house deed should be in the hands of the old lady, so why didn't the north house burn it down when it burned down? . Do you dare to love that old lady and still carry it with you?
It's just that he doesn't know this after all. After thinking about it, he said: "What kind of house deed, what is Yang Dongcheng's testimony, we can't believe him as a foreigner." And it is Zheng Siyi who owes us money, although there is a mortgage of the deed and title deed, but this involves the problem of ancestral property, who knows that the other brothers do not agree, and it will inevitably be a lawsuit again, we don't have time and strength to spend with them, we just want cash, everyone says yes, right? ”
There was another buzz in the crowd. This public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, but I don't know what to do?
Zheng Dian stood there at this time, his hands clenched into fists, his muscles jumping, his eyes staring at these people tightly, if it weren't for these people who engulfed the whole town, how could he let these people squeak crookedly, and let them suffer from the old fist earlier.
"I said that you guys, isn't it too much, the Zheng family has taken out the deed and the title deed, the sincerity is enough, you are still talking nonsense here, Lord Yang is a foreigner, but he is also the manager of the river engineering office appointed by the court, he represents the yamen of the river engineering office, what you mean by this is that you don't trust the court, don't trust the yamen, that is to say, you are dissatisfied with the court, then in my opinion, Lord Yang should really invite you to the yamen and say." Sister Li Yue couldn't help but step forward and said, it is reasonable for others to pursue the silver, but these are obviously here to stir up the situation.
Sister Li Yue's words sometimes aroused the response of the onlookers and sisters-in-law, speaking of which, everyone still supported the town's side at first, but when Zheng Dian auctioned out the family's house deed and title deed, this began to sympathize with the Zheng family again, and it was really sincere to be able to take out the house deed and mortgage the family's house deed, and people can't be embarrassed.
"You little girl, you can say this kind of life-threatening words. It's none of your business, what are you doing blindly? Those few who heard Sister Li Yue's words, their faces turned green with fright, and they were dissatisfied with the court, that is, a big rebellion, and they jumped to scold at this time, and they couldn't wait to block Sister Li Yue's mouth with their hands.
"Although this matter is none of my business, but the drama also said that there are shovels on the uneven road, and there are people who take care of the uneven things, it is the neighbors and villagers, it is difficult to even let people say a fair word, the Zheng family has taken the deed and the land deed to arrive, you are still here shouting for cash, it is the five major counters in Beijing, all the people who save money go together to get it, and there is not so much silver to pay, I think you are making it difficult."
Sister Li Yue said, and then shouted at the onlookers: "Everyone said that I am not talking about it, no matter what happened to the Zheng family, in short, the Zheng family took the deed of ownership as a guarantee, and this thing can't run away, and your deposit period has not yet arrived, even if you want to take it out, you have to give the Zheng family a little time, they are all villagers, and you have to talk about some affection." ”
"Well, Sister Yue is right." When the people around heard this, they muttered in agreement.
"No matter if your tongue is as bright as a flower, anyway, we just want to take the silver and leave, and we are poor people who can't afford to lose." Those people really didn't have anything to say, so they just played tricks.
The people in the town already had no opinion, and when they saw them like this, they didn't know whether to leave or stay to see the situation.
"Dian boy, Tiezhu, you two go to the wooden building at the back, and bring the big box of golden silk nanmu placed under the stairs, whoever wants to take it will take it to them, our Zheng family is not short of money." At this time, Mrs. Zheng sat on a chair and was carried over by Zheng Tu and Zheng Si.
At this moment, she said to Zheng Dian and Zheng Tiezhu with a solemn face, although her voice was a little weak, her momentum was not weak.
"Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. ......" For a while, the crowd greeted, but everyone's faces were stupid, and they always felt that they couldn't stand the Zheng family for such a fuss today.
"Is the old lady okay?" At this time, the elder and others stepped forward to greet each other.
"It's okay, I'm still standing still, the old man of Hades still doesn't accept it, it's a matter of this today, but I'm bothering you." Mrs. Zheng said, her face still pale.
"I can't say it's troublesome, we'll just watch from the sidelines, but it's your Zheng family, who is out of the horse." The old man said in admiration.
"Where, it's not a small broken monkey, it's still very tender." Mrs. Zheng said, but smiled, obviously the words of the old man were very useful.
At this moment, Zheng Dian and Zheng Tiezhu took out a large box from the wooden building, the material of the golden thread nanmu, the workmanship was elegant, and there was a large copper lock on the front of the box.
"Open." Mrs. Zheng took out a copper key from her arms and handed it to Zheng Dian,
Zheng Dian took the key to open the lock, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, and as the lid of the box slowly opened, a yellow and white green light immediately shone under the summer sun.
Everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar, and every eyeball wouldn't roll, who had ever seen so much money?
