Chapter 289: Temptation (I)
Zhu Youning looked at the closed door of the Zhu family's main house with interest, and said with a smile: "The eighth master wants to fork in." I don't want more than that. ”
"More than that?" The eighth master of the Buddha crossed his hands, and there was a bit of interest in his complicated complexion.
Zhu Youning pressed his hat, turned around and walked out of the alley. Buddha Baye and Dou Wanwan immediately followed.
"From the very beginning, I had only one purpose, to close the Zhu family money bank, which was disrupting the market." She was in a good mood when she got things done, and her steps were also very brisk, "But bringing such a scene and harming so many people in vain is in vain, I am also a little unhappy." ”
The eighth master of the Buddha laughed: "Girl, don't laugh, those who become big things are not informal, not to mention that you are not harmful." ”
"I don't want to hurt people, the business model of Zhujia Qianzhuang is not just to disrupt the market, they will eventually pit a group of people, and whoever catches up will be unlucky. How much money can an ordinary person have in a family? If you are trapped, don't live the day. It's better that I have the Zhu family money village now, let them return all the silver, and they can't cheat people in the future. ”
Dou Wanwan followed Zhu Youning for a long time, and she understood her more deeply, and she felt more and more admired.
Strange Dao father and brother both said that she was lucky to be able to follow the girl, whether it was to deal with it in the court in the capital, or to calm down now, she felt that following such a master would be full of hope in the future, it was better than her living in a mess, and she would be cleaned up and married in what day.
Zhu Youning whispered to Dou Wanwan: "Go back and quietly go around the neighborhood to see how the situation at home is, I'm worried that the old lady will say something ugly to my father and mother when she goes to the house, and you can see how the old teacher Luo is, don't affect his old man, come back and tell me something, I have to think of a way, and be careful not to let people find out about his whereabouts." ”
Dou Wanwan smiled and replied, "Don't worry, girl, I'll change my costume later, there are so many people gathered in front of the mansion, and the beauty will notice me." ”
That's exactly what Zhu Youning meant.
Zhu Youning and the Eighth Master of the Buddha avoided the crowd, returned to the manor where they lived temporarily during this time, and also instructed people to quietly pay attention to the situation in front of the Zhu family.
Contrary to her leisure and safety, the Zhu family's house is already a mess.
The old lady took her children and grandchildren to hurriedly pack up their clothes and put them in a soft place. The ladies all had deep trepidation on their faces.
"That's good. What do those people want to do when they gather in front of our house! ”
"I heard that Brother Feng was doing business with a book, and he owed a lot of money outside, and those people estimated that they were all here to collect debts!"
"They're not going to break in!"
"In case of breaking in, where do we still have a way to live, we will simply hang ourselves by the neck."
At the end of the day, several of them sobbed and cried.
Most of the female dependents are not well-informed about the outside world, and they are already flustered at this time and don't know what to do.
The old lady urged the maidservant repeatedly: "Go to the outer courtyard to see if the old lady has come back." If not, call the second or third master! ”
The servant girl flew like a fly to look for someone, but the news she brought back was that the old lady and the second master were not at home.
"And who's in charge of what's going on outside?" The old lady's face turned pale.
"Back to the old lady, the slave doesn't know ......"
At this juncture, just listening to the shouts of the mob outside the house was enough to make people desperate. Even the most calm maids on weekdays are panicked.
I don't know if the nursing home in the house can stop the mob who are about to rush in?
If they can't, what are they going to do?
Panic spread, and the younger girl and daughter-in-law were frightened and disobeyed. In desperation, someone whispered and complained.
"It's not that I said, Cousin Feng is also too big, I heard people say that this incident is completely because of him. It is said that he was not good at managing the bank......"
"Shut up." The old lady reprimanded in a low voice, and the panicked ladies in the room were silent.
But the old lady can manage a house, and he can't control so many mouths in the house, and he doesn't know what other people with square heads say about this matter.
Zhu Yanfeng was standing at the gate at this time, outside a door panel, and there were angry people.
What should he do? He didn't dare to show his face at this time, he was worried that the mob would make trouble and hurt people on impulse, how could he go out of the house by himself?
But if he hadn't come forward to appease these people, what if they really had the intention of breaking in and grabbing a penny?
With such a door, no matter how much he looked at it, it was not enough for the group of people to storm. What's even more terrifying is that the Zhu family is not a castle, and the courtyard wall of the house is just an ordinary height, so what if those people don't break through the door, but climb over the wall to come in?
Zhu Yanfeng really wanted to die at this time, and he didn't want to pay attention to this mess anymore!
Just when Zhu Yanfeng was staring at the pink wall, as if he was really estimating what would happen if he ran into it, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard wall. Listening carefully, it seems that a group of people rushed over, among which there were also shouts and threats, and then the voices of the people who were still shouting just now gradually weakened.
In front of the mansion, Cai Zhixian took his master and ordered Yang Zhutou to bring all the brothers who were useful to his subordinates.
A group of soap servants were neatly dressed, wielding scabbards, and the unhappy people who were bluffing did not dare to say more.
"You can know that gathering people to make trouble for no reason can be regarded as rebellion?!" Cai Zhixian reprimanded loudly with a calm face, "This official can have people kill all of you rebellious mobs on the spot now!" “
In the crowd, some bold people began to cry that the silver they had stored in the Zhu family's money village had been denied.
Cai Zhixian naturally understood the situation before he came, and he was not angry with such a moth made by the Zhu family. It's just that the first thing now is to put an end to the civil unrest.
Cai Zhixian softened his tone and said: "Everyone, fellow villagers, be quiet and listen to me." ”
He raised his hands and motioned to be quiet.
Although the people hate the Zhu family's money, but now that there is an official who can make the decision for them, they also have a sense of dependence, thinking of relying on the power of the government to solve this matter.
Thinking that there is a county master, even if the Zhu family money village is bold, it will definitely have to pay back.
Seeing that the people finally shut up, Cai Zhixian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The reason why everyone is gathered here today is already known by this official. I think everyone is too worried. The silver of the Zhu family's money village is just not in hand at the moment, isn't this the time that needs to be transferred? When you have saved up your money, you have gone to eat the money, so why should you take your share because of gossip? ”
Cai Zhixian wants to persuade everyone not to withdraw money now.
But Old Lady Zhu and Zhu Huazhang, who were hiding behind Cai Zhixian, both knew in their hearts that Cai Zhixian's mobilization was useless.
If they can come up with a million taels of silver, they can naturally block Youyou's mouth, saying that the Zhu family money bank is an empty shell, and rumors such as liars will naturally be self-defeating.
But the problem is that they can't get it!
Since he can't come up with it, it is simply a fool's dream to want these people to believe in the Zhu family money village with just a few words.
Sure enough, Cai Zhixian's persuasion did not have any effect.
However, everyone saved face for the county master, and did not scold again, but said persistently: "Our family's silver is still urgent, the money village is opened by the Zhu family, your family has a big business, and any hair plucked is enough for our little people to eat for a year, the Zhu family is so rich, let them take the money out!" ”
"That is, don't tell us that this problem is the problem of the manager of the money village, and it has nothing to do with the Zhu family's house. If you can't write two characters in one stroke, aren't you a family? ”
Someone took the lead, and the crowd complained one after another.
Cai Zhixian patiently persuaded him, but when the crowd was excited, nothing he said had any effect. I had to order the people around me, "Haosheng surrounds it, and this group of people is not allowed to break into the Zhu family." ”
Cai Zhixian is still thinking that such a big thing has happened in Fuyang, and the Lord of Futai may already know. It is better to ask him about the crime of doing an errand, it is better to take advantage of the fact that before others complain, he himself will explain the ins and outs of the future to the Lord Futai.
If you want to suppress the people's uprising, the real officers and soldiers can be much more deterrent than the soaps.
Cai Zhixian turned around and explained, and the master put forward a few suggestions, and immediately started to do it.
Seeing the old lady Zhu and Zhu Huazhang with sneering faces, Cai Zhixian's brows were furrowed, because of the previous friendship and the Zhu family's various filial piety, Cai Zhixian did not say the ugly words, only lowered his voice and said: "What's going on in your family?" Can't you take out a million taels of silver? At this time, don't look at who is in trouble and who is in trouble, it's all at this juncture, if it's not good, there will be civil unrest, and you are not afraid of destroying the door? ”
The voice was lowered, and Cai Zhixian's words pierced the hearts of Old Lady Zhu and Zhu Huazhang like knives: "You can think about the incident in the previous dynasty, the mob broke into the general's mansion, and everyone in the whole family died." ”
Zhu Huazhang sweated like rain, and muttered: "No, it won't......"
"Won't? If that's the case, don't blame the county for ignoring the past. If you make such a big disturbance to the court, do you still want to avoid punishment? ”
Seeing Cai Zhixian like this, Old Lady Zhu immediately surrendered his hand and promised: "Don't worry, I won't let the trouble continue, I will go and prepare the silver immediately." The cash in his hand is indeed not enough, but the Zhu family's ability is still there. ”
As soon as he heard that Mrs. Zhu had made a promise, Cai Zhixian's face was slightly better.
Before Cai Zhixian and the master left, he instructed Yang Zhutou to arrange for the soap to be taken care of around the Zhu family.
"First, you have to be careful, don't let people break into the Zhu family and make a bigger incident, this time you still expect to be able to suppress the matter. Second, also pay attention not to let the Zhu family come in and out at will. In case they run away and throw away the mess, no one can take out a handful of 10,000 taels of silver, and it will not be a matter for you and me to make a disturbance of the people. ”
Yang Zhutou naturally understood the stakes, and nodded again and again: "Don't worry, don't worry, I will do my best." ”
Old lady Zhu and Zhu Huazhang finally dared to go home. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhu Yanfeng.
The three of them looked at each other, and Zhu Yanfeng smiled strongly, "Grandfather." Father. ”
"Hmm." Zhu Huazhang responded with a calm face.
Old lady Zhu ignored it, and directly instructed Zhu Huazhang: "You immediately go to contact the Leng family and the Jiao family, and ask the eldest master of the two families to come to the mansion to talk." ”
"Dad, although the Leng family and the Jiao family have shares in Qianzhuang, they may not be willing to carry this matter with us."
Old lady Zhu said: "You tell them that it's not for them to pay, there is another thing to discuss." ”
Zhu Huazhang didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the old lady Zhu's gourd, and the old lady was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to ask in detail, so he obeyed the instructions and went to do something.
And Zhu Youning here also got the news brought by Dou Wanwan.
"Everything is fine at home, everything is normal with Luo Laoshan, Li Gongzi is also moving around more diligently these days, and the master and wife are fine."
"That's good." Zhu Youning counted the days with his fingers, and said with a smile, "I have also been out to Huzhou Mansion for twenty days, and it is time to count the days when I go back." ”
"yes. But the girl's business here is not finished yet. ”
"It's not something that can be done in a short time, it's fine, it'll be about the same in a few days."
Zhu Youning's slender fingers were dipped in tea, and he wrote and drew on the desktop for a while, then wiped it with his hand and said, "Ming'er, let's go to Qianzhuang early, the show is about to start." ”
Dou Wanwan said in surprise: "What kind of show?" ”
Zhu Youning said: "Being forced to this part, the old lady has no choice, so he won't just force Zhu Yanfeng to carry this matter." He will definitely mobilize all the cash of the Zhu family, don't forget, he has saved 300,000 taels of silver in Chang'an Qianzhuang. Moreover, in addition to the Zhu family money village, the money village in Fuyang is Chang'an money village, and they all say that their peers are enemies, and the Zhu family money village made such a big incident, it is obvious that someone calculated, and the old lady Zhu will not be so stupid that he can't see it, and he will definitely suspect Chang'an money village. ”
"Girl, how is that good?" Dou Wanwan was a little worried.
Zhu Youning waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm afraid he won't come." Let's go to Qianzhuang early tomorrow, didn't we let people next door to the flower hall for entertaining guests last time, and also installed a set of mirrors like Uncle Renyi's house. ”
Since he saw something similar to a "periscope" in Yansui Mansion, Zhu Youning also asked Cai Yuanjie to arrange a small cubicle next to the flower hall used by several guests in Qianzhuang and install a "periscope", which may come in handy sometime. Since you want to watch a play, of course, you have to choose the best angle to watch it.
The next day, Zhu Youning, Buddha Baye, Dou Wanwan, and Thrush quietly went to Chang'an Qianzhuang together, saw Cai Yuanjie, whispered instructions, and went to a hut to wait.
Cai Yuanjie listened to Zhu Youning's instructions, he couldn't control the excited expression on his face, his eyes were shining, and he went downstairs to check the receipt of the goods in high spirits, doing the things at hand, and didn't forget to glance out inadvertently from time to time.
It was only at the beginning of the hour that I saw a few simple flat-headed carriages coming late.
After getting out of the carriage, the person at the head had a clear face, a calm expression and a little irritable, it was the old lady Zhu who was in a hurry.
Behind him came the second lord Zhu Huazhang, Zhu Yanfeng, and the masters of the other two big families who had invested in the Zhu family's money village.
Master Leng and Uncle Jiao are both the juniors of Old Lady Zhu, and they are all one level lower when they meet each other on weekdays, but the Zhu Family Money Village is not well managed, and when such a big incident happens, Master Leng and Uncle Jiao can't help but smile on their faces.
Old Man Leng said: "...... Today I will also take the money, so that I can close the hole, and then calm the trouble. ”
