Chapter 109: First confrontation with the family!
"Since you're here, let's get ready to receive guests."
Although Xiang Yan said so, he did not go out to greet him, but sat on the seat of the county magistrate in the county office.
The officials on both sides lined up on both sides with killing sticks.
It looks like a prisoner is going to be interrogated.
Cui Zai could only stand in the hall after entering the door, he had no seat and Xiang Yan who was sitting in the official position, the difference between the two of them invisibly created a psychological feeling that Xiang was strong and Cui was weak.
"I remember that the surname Cui originated from the surname Jiang in history, and according to legend, he was a descendant of Emperor Yan."
"In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Sun Jiangshang, a descendant of Emperor Yan, was divided into Qi because of his meritorious service to King Wen and King Wu Jianzhou, and was named a duke."
"When the number was passed to the Duke of Qiding, the eldest son Jiang Jizi responded to the Duke, but he did not accept it and gave way to his younger brother Shu Yi. After Shu Yi succeeded to the throne, he rewarded him with the place around Cui Yi as a food town. ”
"Since then, the descendants of Ji Zi have lived in Cui Yi, and later took the name Cui as their surname, thus becoming a person surnamed Cui."
"After the surname Cui got his surname, he held important official positions in the Qi State for generations, and he was one of the families of the ministers at that time."
"During the Qin Dynasty, Cui Yiru, a descendant of Cui Zhu, was named the Marquis of Donglai."
"After entering the Han Dynasty, Cui Yiru's eldest son Cui Ye took this title and settled in Qinghe Dongwu City."
"The descendants gradually developed into a strong clan in the more than 300 years of turmoil in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and they were known as the Qinghe Cui clan."
"The Cui family is famous, like thunder, Xiang has heard of it for a long time."
"Cui Yan's political history is worthy of being a famous family, and it is really good to see it today."
As soon as Xiang Yan met, he listed the development process of the Cui family, and Cui Zai suddenly felt as if he had been touched to the bottom, and he had a sense of disadvantage in terms of cultural literacy.
Pay more attention to everything and pay more attention to the first drum to be angry, and the beginning must not be bad.
And now Cui Zai has not spoken, but this first breath has been vented by Xiang Yan.
Cui Zai was a little dazed for a while, and he also wanted to learn from Xiang Yan's family background and the like.
But before he opened his mouth, how could he, who was unlearned and unskilled, say something famous.
In the end, I had to press the draft that had been typed in my heart when I came, and continue to speak, but the momentum was much weaker than when the honor guard first appeared:
"I heard that when the right prime minister was in the capital, he was a gentleman, and he only knew how to play and squander. even did the ridiculous thing of spending 100,000 silver overnight on a green house. ”
"But it's better to be famous than to meet, today, Xiang Gongzi is not as unbearable as rumored."
"We are all bright people, I won't go around those fancy intestines with you, I heard that your son Xiang is a master who only loves money in the capital."
"You just make a price."
"How much can this matter be closed today?"
Xiang Yan smiled:
"It deserves to be a famous family with strong financial resources."
"One million taels of silver!"
Cui Zai didn't blink his eyes:
"Good!"
Then he instructed the butler outside the hall:
"Raise money!"
The people of the Cui family outside immediately took action.
Like a worker ant, he was busy between the Cui Mansion, the county government, and the major banks.
Along the way, many victims and people discussed a lot.
"Third child, what are you doing here?"
"How do I know this, Uncle Li is well-informed, ask him to go."
"I know these people, the descendants of the Cui family, my cousin is in the Cui family's nursing home, I have seen this dress!"
"What's it that you're carrying those boxes? It looks pretty heavy. ”
"I don't know, do you see the seals on the box? It's all boxes of silver! ”
"Damn, so much money? Lao Tzu has never seen so many even when he goes to the grave! ”
"This Cui family is too bold! Such boxes of money are so big and transported in the land of the emperor? I'm not afraid of being robbed. ”
"Heh, I don't know, who dares to rob the Cui family's money? In this Jiangnan, the words of the emperor Lao'er are not as good as the Cui family! ”
"If you dare to take one or two pieces of silver from the Cui family, then no one in the entire Jiangnan black and white will be able to protect you!"
"And I heard that this money is still for the ministers sent by the imperial court to provide disaster relief, if you dare to rob it, then the capital and Jiangnan will be offended, and there will be no place in the world!"
"What? Disaster relief? Could the money be used for disaster relief? With so much money, we are saved! ”
"You're so beautiful! Disaster relief, no longer try to get money on our heads, you can steal the fun! Disaster relief! ”
"Eh, this is not accurate, I saw that minister in the porridge shed this morning, and it seems that he is a good person."
"Yes, yes, I also saw it, when the man in Lijia Village was beaten, his subordinates came to the rescue!"
"Yes, I also saw it, the second son of the Zhou family who loves to play hunter games was beaten by him and hung at the door of the restaurant!"
"The messenger sent to provide disaster relief this time must be really a good person."
Three poles on the sun.
One million taels of silver is not a quantity that can be obtained at once.
But in Cui Zai's eyes, it's nothing.
And Cui Zai also had a little heart, he exchanged all the silver tickets for silver.
So much silver, like a small mountain, not to mention Xiang Yan and the three of them, even ten more people can't take it away!
As long as you can't take it away as easily as a silver ticket, and you can't hide it.
In time.
It's hard to say who owns all this money!
I saw that my eldest brother had gathered all the money.
Zhou Jianghui, a salt merchant, and his second son were overjoyed.
I think that's the end of it.
They all got up from their knees, dressed and ready to go home.
And Zhou Jianghui is even more proud.
No matter how awesome it is.
It was the minister of the Chin Mission, and he brought the sword of Shang Fang.
As soon as he came, he beheaded the Qiantang County Order.
In the end, my brother-in-law Cui Zai got on the road, and he didn't spend much effort to settle it!
Sure enough, in this Jiangnan.
Even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, he has to give their Cui family face!
Although it is true that a lot of money has been spent to settle this matter.
But as long as the power of the official salt monopoly is in hand.
No matter how much money you have, you'll be back in a few years, isn't it!
"Master Xiang, we don't know each other!"
Zhoujiang Hui Road.
"Tonight's banquet at home, firstly, is to relieve our previous suspicions, and secondly, it is to catch the wind and wash the dust for you. I also invite Lord Xiang to the banquet to enjoy the light. ”
Xiang Yan said curiously:
"Banquet? You and your second son are not at home, so is it just your family who organizes their own feast? You're not there, and I'm embarrassed to go. ”
Cui Zai is brows frowned:
"What do you mean, Lord Xiang?"
"Why aren't my brother-in-law and nephew at home?"
Xiang Yan said:
"Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped."
"The one million taels of silver are for the two of them to buy their lives, after all, I was almost put in prison by them today."
"Come on, take Master Zhou and Childe Tuesday into custody."
"Wait until I study the law carefully and then consider what to condemn them!"
