Volume 1 Battle in the Sand Garden Chapter 42 The crisis has reappeared

On the second day, Qin Chong got up early. He has not forgotten that he is going to the academy today.

The three full children were left behind, taking care of Gao Shixian.

As soon as I walked out of the gate, I looked up and saw Qin Xiao, standing under the tree outside the door with his back hand. Qin Chong groaned slightly and walked towards Qin Xiao. From Sanfeng'er, Qin Chong had already learned that this time, Fan Fuzi was able to rush to the yamen, which was actually the result of Qin Xiao's request for help. This gave Qin Zhong a new understanding of his eldest brother.

"Big brother." Qin Chong stepped forward and said hello.

"Are you going to the academy? Let's be in this together. Qin Xiao turned her head and said with a smile.

"Is Big Brother waiting for me here?" Qin Zhong asked.

"Hmm." Qin Xiao nodded, and said as she walked, "I have something I want to say to you." ”

"Big brother, please speak." Qin Zhong said. Actually, Qin Chong also wanted to talk to Qin Xiao, but he didn't expect to be wrapped up in A'e's case and go to the prison for a trip, so he had to meet today.

"I can't control the affairs of the elders, but I will persuade her." Qin Xiao said.

"Hmm." Qin Chong frowned slightly, did not speak, and listened to Qin Xiao. He naturally understood that the elder Qin Xiao was talking about was Aunt Liu. If Qin Chong had no resentment in his heart, it would be a lie. After all, in the past few years, Aunt Liu has controlled the Qin family, being mean to Qin Zhong everywhere, and she has to sweep the floor out.

However, how much he hated her, Qin Chong really couldn't say it. The women in the house fight back and forth, either for the husband or for the children. Guarding the palm-sized sky, it's actually very pitiful. Today's Qin Chong is no longer the original Qin Chong, and his knowledge, temperament, and means are not the same.

The affairs of the elders really can't be managed, Qin Xiao is not wrong in saying this. No matter how Aunt Liu is, she is also Qin Yutian's concubine, maybe one day she will be corrected, and Qin Zhong will have to be called a big lady.

"Aunt Yun told me that Yu Qing is gone." Qin Xiao was a little twisted, and he didn't know how to continue.

"I know that." Qin nodded and said, "His accounts are very problematic. ”

In this matter, Aunt Yun had already told him that Yu Qing's account did not match many amounts of grain. However, now Qin Chong already knows that eighty percent of the grain that was greedy for ink by Yu Qing has gone into the hands of the Wolf Mountain bandits.

The Qin family collects rent from farmers, and only 20% of the harvest is obtained every year. And these two percent were still taken away by Yu Qing. In the past two years, there have been at least tens of thousands of catties of grain. Add the private increase of 30%, and it will be even more. The whereabouts of the grain are also a hidden danger for the Qin family. If someone finds out, there will be a big disaster.

It's just that Qin Xiao didn't know about these things, and only thought that Aunt Liu was not using people properly.

"Her mother's negligence in employing people has caused the family to suffer such a big loss, and she regrets it." Qin Xiao lowered her head and said softly, "In the future, I will have to rely on Aunt Yun for housekeeping." ”

As the saying goes, the son does not say anything about the parents. Qin Xiao's statement like this is very rare. When Qin Zhong heard this, he finally understood that Qin Xiao was here to express his kindness.

Indeed, after experiencing a horse theft turmoil, Qin Xiao finally understood what a brother was. At the critical juncture, if it weren't for Qin Chong's rescue regardless of his previous suspicions, he was afraid that he would have the same fate as Qiu Min. And in the same way, Qin Zhong was arrested and imprisoned, and Qin Xiao also ran back and forth, bowing his head and begging for help. The relatives in the bloodline, what kind of concubines?

After figuring out this layer, Qin Xiao suddenly became enlightened.

In Aunt Liu's heart, there is only Qin Xiao. And this time, she almost lost Qin Xiao, that kind of huge fear, she was physically and mentally exhausted. In addition, Yu Qing's absconding was her negligence. Therefore, Qin Xiao persuaded in a timely manner, and Aunt Liu gave up her housekeeping rights and entrusted all of her to Aunt Yun, which could be regarded as a reward for Qin Chong.

Of course, Qin Xiao and Aunt Liu didn't know what Qin Zhong did in this matter.

"I thank Aunt Yun for being big-brother." Qin Chong is not pretentious, Aunt Yun is someone close to him, and he can be trusted. Aunt Yun's housekeeper will be able to handle a bowl of water evenly, and she will not be embarrassed by Aunt Liu, nor will she treat their sisters harshly.

As for Aunt Liu, whether this transfer is true or not, I will see it in the future. As long as she doesn't look for trouble, Qin Chong doesn't need to be embarrassed for him. The sufferings that have been endured should be experienced.

After Qin Xiao finished talking about this, he obviously breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed. Seriously, he was really afraid that Qin Chong would hold a grudge and not give up on the past. Now it seems that he is thinking too much. Looking at Qin Chong again, he couldn't help but feel a little more proud, his younger brother has a bold temperament, how can he be so petty?

"Big brother wants to thank you for stealing horses." Qin Xiao approached Qin Zhong and said in a low voice.

"Don't talk about it again." Qin Zhong looked around and said cautiously.

"The eldest brother was confused and almost hurt our family." Qin Xiao was still a little scared at this time.

"It's already gone." Qin Chong also felt afraid.

"Nope." Qin Xiao suddenly stopped, stared at Qin Chong and said, "It's not over yet." ”

"Huh? What does it mean that it hasn't passed? ”

"Do you know why the Qiu family was copied?" Qin Xiao's expression was serious.

"Wealth touches people's hearts." Qin Zhong said lightly.

"Oh?" This time, Qin Xiao was surprised. I really didn't expect that Qin Chong would break through the joints at such a young age. Even he himself understood the stakes only after receiving the guidance of a master.

"The Qiu family got rich suddenly, but they didn't know how to restrain themselves, which is the way to die."

"The third brother is really wise." Qin Xiao praised happily, "That's right, the Qiu family is too public, but it has no foundation. Splashing wealth has already made countless people red-eyed, and they all want to pounce on it and take a bite. ”

Listening to Qin Xiao's words, Qin Chong was slightly surprised. He was able to see through joints because of the knowledge of later generations. And Qin Xiao is not yet twenty years old, and he has such an opinion, which is really admirable.

"Big brother is really wise." Qin Zhong praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Where, where." Qin Xiao was embarrassed to get up, but she blushed and waved her hand again and again, "Brother Wei doesn't have such knowledge, but it was only after receiving the guidance of a master the day before yesterday that he suddenly realized." ”

"Oh? I don't know where to go? Qin Chong became curious and asked.

"This person's surname is Liang Mingzheng, a household clerk in Dali County." Speaking of Liang Zheng, Qin Xiao was quite solemn.

It turned out that after Qin Chong was arrested and imprisoned, Qin Xiao went to visit, but was not allowed. In desperation, he went to find his arithmetic master, that is, Liang Zheng, the Hucao scribe. Liang Zheng is good at arithmetic, and Qin Xiao is quite talented, so he likes it very much. Liang Zheng was well versed in the affairs of the yamen, and instructed Qin Xiao to move Fan Fuzi.

Sure enough, with Fan and Liu in the hall, and the people in the yamen, no one can be embarrassed by Qin Chong. Wang An, the county who jumped out, was slapped hard because of a song "Lime Yin". Therefore, Qin Chong was able to get out so smoothly, and Fan Fuzi contributed a lot. Liang Zheng, who pointed out Qin Xiao, is indeed a person who understands the doorway.

"Thank you, big brother, for running for me." Qin Chong stopped and saluted with his fists.

"We are brothers, thank you very much." Qin Xiao waved his hand and said.

"That's what Big Brother said." Qin Chong smiled and hurried away. "However, the little brother can't help but express his help, and ask the eldest brother to introduce him another day, so that he can thank him."

"That's as it should be." This time, Qin Xiao did not refuse.

What Qin Xiao wanted to say was not these. I took a few steps forward, considered the wording for a while, and then slowly spoke, "I just said that the Qiu family affairs have not passed yet, and it is also Mr. Liang's guidance." ”

"Why do you say that it hasn't passed yet?" Qin Chong was puzzled.

"The third brother can be bought by the official Yanyu?" Qin Xiao asked.

In today's era, salt has always belonged to the monopoly of the imperial court and is an important income of the state. To this end, the Great Song Dynasty court set up a special organization, called the Salt Affairs Department, to implement the salt money law and manage salt affairs.

Below, there is an office called the Transit Bank, which is responsible for the printing and distribution of salt banknotes, and no other institution is allowed to print salt banknotes at will, let alone private individuals.

The salt money received will be marked with the name of the merchant, the amount of salt bought, the serial number, the date and the place where the salt is taken, and the merchant will go to the major salt factories to get salt with the salt money. After the merchant received the salt money, the goods company would record it, called the contract number book, which recorded the amount of salt in the person's share. After the merchant receives the salt, the salt branch will conduct an investigation to compare whether the salt note record is consistent with the contract number book, and if the survey is correct, the salt bill record will be cancelled.

Before obtaining the qualification to buy banknotes, the businessman must submit a written application, and must also find someone to guarantee it, or need to attach collateral materials to the written application.

The guarantor can not be found at will, summoning two people in the city property tax and shop business, and having a line to entrust the guarantee, and submit the petition to the consular office, go down to the business field, inspect the facts, and note the book with a thousand-character text.

It can be seen that the guarantor needs to be a person with a reputation and a family business. After the application has been verified, the trader can register with the relevant authority and then be eligible to buy money with money.

Now, the Qiu family has committed an incident, and the guarantor will also be convicted. The problem is that the guarantor of the Qiu family has a lot to do with the Tongzhou General Judgment, and a pleadings were handed to the Tongzhou government. The lawsuit against Dali County fabricated charges and framed Qiu's family for embezzling property. The government of the same state actually accepted it and sent a special person to investigate the case.

This is the revenge of Li Tongwen, who was sentenced to death by the same state.

The daughter of the Qiu family married Li Tongwen as a concubine, so she had the qualification of a salt merchant of the Qiu family. Dali County ganged up with Shayuan to prison and divide the Qiu family's property, how could Li Tongwen not know? It's just that the Qiu family's charges are sensitive, so Li Tongwen didn't dare to come forward to rescue, for fear of being implicated. However, this festival has come to an end.

The guarantor came forward to file a complaint, which just gave Li Tongwen an excuse.

After listening to Qin Xiao's explanation, Qin Zhong finally understood the joints. Li Tongwen's excuse to investigate the case is very likely to lead to the Qiu family's retraction of the confession, and it is really difficult to say what the ending will be now.

In other words, Qiu Min is an unstable variable.

When Qin Xiao said this, he was lamented by the overturning of the world. However, listening to Qin Chong's ears, it sounded the alarm. When Qiu Min was arrested, he was deceived by Qin Zhong into breeding affairs, and when he was connected with Neiying, he was captured by the Xiaoqi Battalion in one fell swoop. During the subsequent interrogation, there was a Xiao cavalry camp deliberately induced, and Qiu Min ignored Qin Xiao.

However, after such a long time, will Qiu Min understand?

Qin had a headache.

How can the safety of one's own family be pinned on luck.

"When will the investigators come?" Qin Zhong asked.

"Mr. Liang said, it's only one or two days." Qin Xiao said.

"A day or two." Qin Zhong nodded slowly, but his eyes became cold.
