"Boss, our grain has been withheld by the gang in Huaiqing Mansion. The Huaiqing Mansion of the Henan Political Envoy www.biquge.info is located in the north of Henan and borders Shanxi. The drought here is extremely serious, and corruption is rife among officials at all levels, and the relief funds sent by the imperial court have long been divided up cleanly. Now, these people have shifted their attention to Anguo's head.

An Guo transported 100,000 stone of grain to Huaiqing Mansion this time, and a pound of grain was only sold for two cents, not even half the price of ordinary times. Not to mention, what he brought this time was all high-quality new rice. It seems that this equivalent price is almost the same as giving it for nothing.

Selling grain at such a low price must have caused countless people to contract pink eye, and they all stared at this bit of grain. But the backstage of Anguo is the political envoy of Zhejiang, the feudal officials of one side, and the ordinary officials are more restrained, and they will give a little thin face, not wanting to cause trouble for themselves. Moreover, Anguo is also a delicate person, and every place he goes, he will inevitably open the way with silver, so that the officials who should be embarrassed to stretch out their hands again.

It's just that he really didn't expect that the people of Huaiqing Mansion would be so ugly to eat, and they would directly do something to his food. You know, yesterday, he also left silver for many officials in the palace, but he didn't expect that he couldn't feed them.

"Are the officials of Huaiqing Mansion poor and crazy? Even if they have to snatch this grain, aren't they afraid of heaven's punishment?" An Guo frowned when he heard the news, although he knew that he had taken out so much food, which would definitely cause many people to covet it. But I never thought that someone would reach out so blatantly.

You must know that his grain is not given free of charge, but sold at a low price. In other words, the grain is still his personal property. These officials didn't even say hello, they directly withheld the grain, so what is the difference between it and robbers and bandits?

"Who did it?" An Guo asked in a deep voice as he looked at his housekeeper. "It was Lu Tongzhi, who led a group of fast-working officials and directly withheld the grain. Our men dare not resist, lest they cause trouble to the host. ”

The housekeeper hurriedly bowed his head and said, the people don't fight with the officials, although their family also has a lot of power, but compared with the government, it is not worth it. If you dare to confront the government, it will be tantamount to rebellion. When the imperial army arrives, it will definitely be the end of the head.

"Lu Jimin? It turned out to be him, an old boy. An Guo nodded, Lu Tong knew that he still knew, and he gave a lot of money to open the road yesterday, but he didn't expect that so much money still couldn't feed their stomachs.

"The owner, the hands of the Huaiqing Mansion are too dirty, why don't we tell the old lady and let him help out?" The steward said in a low voice with an ugly face.

The old lady in his mouth refers to the Zuo Bu political envoy of the Zhejiang Political Envoy Division. An Guo was born in an ordinary merchant family, the family's wealth is not much, and he is not a son-in-law, so he cannot inherit the family business. But by his own strength, he earned a huge family business.

After having money, he climbed up to a high-ranking official in his family, counting the relationship between the two, and the high-ranking official should belong to his uncle. With the help of this family, their family's business is getting bigger and bigger.

"No, such a thing should not trouble his old man. An Guo directly refused, his use of human relations is far higher than his housekeeper. On weekdays, he has been preaching that his uncle is the political envoy of Zhejiang, and if people are afraid of his uncle, they will naturally give way. But if people don't want to give in, and they still fight-for-tat, it means that the other party is not very afraid of their own forces, and if there is really a big thing, he will definitely choose to take the initiative to make concessions instead of fighting for will.

His relationship with his uncle is a relative, but it is more of an exchange of power and money, and it is not very strong. Once you use it too much, the relationship will definitely fade down.

"You prepare a thousand taels of silver now, and go with me to the mansion of Lu Tongzhi's house. After thinking for a while, An Guo slapped the table and said in a deep voice.

"Yes. The housekeeper nodded, and hurried to the backyard to prepare some silver and get a sedan chair. After everything was in order, he wandered to the place where Lu Tongzhi lived.

Huaiqing Mansion City is not rich, the boundary is very dilapidated, it was originally a blue brick paved ground, because it has not been repaired for a long time, and there are already many potholes. As soon as the wind blows, it rolls up a puff of dust.

On the streets on both sides of the strait, there are basically no people doing business, only people in ragged clothes and vegetables on their faces, begging along the streets. An Guo occasionally lifted the sedan curtain, looked at the scene outside, and couldn't help but sigh.

These sub-officials are really brutes, the people are already hungry like this, and they only care about making money one by one, completely ignoring the life and death of the rule.

Lu Tongzhi is not a local official, he came from Guangdong. He has been an official here for seven or eight years, and now Lord Fuzun is not very in charge of things, and the power is almost in the hands of one person, and Xuan He is extremely powerful. In this small Huaiqing Mansion, it is a soil overlord.

"Who are you?, who are you here to send the post?" When he arrived at the door of Lu Tongzhi's house, Menzi also looked arrogant, and when Anguo sent the post, he still looked like he didn't want to answer. If it weren't for An Guo stuffing ten taels of silver to open the way, I'm afraid that people would even be able to throw the post to you.

"Please also report it, and say that Wuxi An Mintai is visiting. An Guo's word is Mintai, and he smiled all over his face, as if he had to say to this door with flattery.

"Okay, the master is still in the yamen, if you want to see the master, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until the evening. "Today is not the day of rest, Lu Tongzhi still has to sit in the office, so naturally it is impossible to see him at home.

Anguo naturally knows this. But can he go to the Yamen in Fuzhong? Of course he can't. Although his food was withheld by the government, if he wanted to solve the problem, he had to go private. Once he goes to find someone to theorize with great fanfare, it is that people can't get off the stage on the surface.

"It's fine, we can wait here. In the evening, the tired little brother said something nice. An Guo handed over another ten taels of silver, and in just a short time, twenty taels of silver were smashed out.

"Hey, you're pretty good at it, old boy. Alright, I'll talk to you in the evening. Menzi weighed the silver money in his hand, and the feeling of heavy pressure on his hand made him feel refreshed in his heart. He also welcomes a lot of guests on weekdays, all of them are as grand as this, but there is no one.

Twenty taels of silver, his annual salary combined, not so much.
