Chapter 29 A man who really does practical things for the people
Last time, this young master had a very clear purpose, that is, he wanted that "superb pearl", and his attitude was very resolute.
But this time, although the young master asked a lot of questions, it seemed that the other party didn't pay much attention to this matter, and there was a feeling of indifference.
This is the most terrifying, when a person loses his value in the eyes of others, then the life and death of this person does not matter, Shen Qianyi feels that she is in such a state now.
If he refuses to answer, the other party is most likely just a little sorry why he didn't say anything, but he didn't feel any trouble, and then easily stood up and took the lives of the two of them.
Shen Qianyi guessed correctly, Ji Dang actually thought like this, he came here purely to have nothing to do and wanted to know how strong the enemy that might be encountered in front of him would be and how much value it could bring him.
If Shen Qianyi doesn't say it, there is actually no trouble, sooner or later it will be encountered, and Ji Dang will naturally know that the value points that should be obtained will not be reduced.
On the one hand, this is to kill time, and on the other hand, Ji Dang is also to see if this pair of masters and servants will give him a reason to kill people and harvest value points.
Ji Dang felt that the carriage that Shen Qianyi was sitting in could be worthy of Zhu Haoyong's Zhu Mansion, and the carriage secretly had at least one million taels of gold and property, and his identity must be unusual, and the value points given after killing him must have dozens of points!
But Shen Qianyi obviously didn't want to give Ji Dang this chance, so she pushed Cai'er aside and looked directly at Ji Dang.
Seeing this bold move of the other party, Ji Dang raised his eyebrows.
"I know that if I want to take her life, there is a maid in my way, and it will be useless. So he simply put aside the maid, faced me, added some momentum to himself, and by the way, he wanted to express to me that he was not afraid of me, and to fight for himself a little scene, a little bold, a smart woman. ”
It seems that Shen Qianyi is going to say it, otherwise she would not have stood up, and sure enough, Shen Qianyi said what Ji Dang wanted to know in order to save her life.
After a long time, Ji Dang began to sort out the information he had gotten.
It turns out that this Shen Qianyi's identity is not ordinary, she is the third daughter of Shen Naqian, the head of the Shen family, who is rich and rivals the country, and it is none other than the two remaining sons of the Shen family who hunt her down.
"Then why would the blood relatives whose blood is thicker than water reach such a point where swords face each other?"
"It's vulgar, for the money, or for the power that money brings. ”
I don't know how much wealth the Shen family has accumulated over the generations, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a sea of gold and silver, and this huge family business naturally needs to be inherited.
The inheritance of property in ordinary rich families has to be fought for by their children, not to mention the Shen family, the situation of the Shen family is naturally more intense, and it has even been put on the bright side.
Regarding this matter, Yang Qing's memory also has some related to this.
The behemoth of the Shen family has existed in Beijing as the richest man for hundreds of years, and every change of the head of the family is bloody, and even every time it is a big shock to the rivers and lakes of the entire Beijing.
The head of the previous generation of the Shen family would wait for his descendants to become adults, and then give them a large fortune and scatter them all over the capital. After a few years, the head of the previous generation will select the one that has accumulated the most wealth over the years from among the descendants and select him as the next head of the Shen family.
It sounds normal on the surface, but the rule of the Shen family is that during this time, except that the offspring cannot threaten each other's lives, no means are prohibited.
As long as he wins, he can leap to become the head of the Shen family and become one of the most powerful people in the entire Beijing country.
When the word spreads, the entire Jingguo must pay attention to this, and the feeling of holding the authority is naturally crazy and yearning for everyone, so the change of the head of the Shen family in each generation does not stop much.
In fact, at the beginning, the disciples of each generation of the Shen family were still just infighting, and while doing business by themselves, they used tricks to get the other party's wealth from the other party, or used all kinds of small means to suppress others and make small troubles!
Until the appearance of one person, it changed the situation of this small family.
About two hundred years ago, when the Shen family selected the next generation of family heads, there was a Shen family disciple who didn't know what to do, and spent more than a year gathering masters on the rivers and lakes, collecting intelligence, and planning plans with the considerable wealth given by the previous generation of Shen family heads, and then directly ended up with a huge greedy family in the court at that time in just one night.
The next day, when someone found out, the whole family of the giant greedy man died in the mansion, and all the things in the entire mansion, including the secret room of the secret vault, were emptied, and even the tables and chairs of some value were not spared.
The son of the Shen family caused that kind of monstrous disaster, and he did not panic afterwards, and collected a petition from the people who was dissatisfied with the corrupt official, and sent it to the imperial court in the name of the righteous man in the name of the righteous man in the rivers and lakes.
He also wrote a letter to the imperial court, explaining that he had exchanged all the things he had found from the huge greedy house for gold, silver and grain and distributed them to the victims and poor people in various parts of Beijing, and then sent people to spread the news.
The people who didn't know the situation naturally cried and shouted and petitioned the court to let go of the "righteous man in the rivers and lakes", with the support of the people, and the court also wanted to appease the people and save their own image, so they pardoned the "righteous man in the rivers and lakes", and it seemed that he was given the title of a hero who petitioned for the people.
But in fact, that disciple of the Shen family did scatter a huge amount of wealth, but it was only one-tenth of the huge greedy wealth he found, and one-tenth of the wealth allowed him to retreat and win the hearts of the people.
And did such a bold thing and offended the court, that son of the Shen family was actually the head of the Shen family who was still elected as the head of that generation.
It was also from the beginning of the Shen family's son, that is, Shen Qianyi's ancestor, that the Shen family was no longer a simple business family. Do everything! Whether it is in the court or in the rivers and lakes, you can see the figure and power of the Shen family.
It was also from that generation that every competition for the position of the head of the Shen family was no longer just a matter for the Shen family, and it would attract the attention of the entire Jianghu and the imperial court.
And I don't know if it's because of the madness in the bloodline, or because of the kind of "bold" behavior that has been encouraged, the things that the children of the Shen family are doing in order to collect money are becoming more and more crazy, and selling illicit salt, buying and selling swords and soldiers, and killing people and seizing treasures are all conventional means.
Of course, there are also children of the Shen family who imitate their ancestors and target the corrupt officials of the imperial court. After having a routine, it is much easier to follow it, and the corrupt officials in the court are miserable.
Every day, there are people who write books and loyal ministers who impeach those corrupt officials, but they are afraid of being targeted by the children of the Shen family.
Because none of the people of the Shen family play cards according to common sense, they will kill your whole family, and after the gold and silver are emptied, I will tell you the evidence. You'll be dead by then, and it's not like he's what he says!
So gradually, the corrupt officials in Beijing were also scared less and less, and the atmosphere of the imperial court gradually became more and more honest, and the people did not complain so much.
So if you really want to talk about it, the ancestor of the Shen family can be regarded as the initiator of the anti-corruption and anti-corruption action in Beijing, and he has really done practical and good things for the people.
