Chapter 44: The Huang Family Changes
Public opinion on donating to build roads is slowly fermenting in the county.
At first, many people only thought it was a rural rumor, and few people took it seriously.
When the wind was unstable, a few people chose to believe it and began to prepare the donated money, but they were ridiculed by their peers.
Because most businessmen, like the original Huang Liuye, never believe in Wang County's order and can put down the shelf of scholars.
But when Huang Liuye seemed to accidentally leak his mouth and mentioned the donation of 5,000 taels in a staggered meeting, those businessmen immediately smelled the smell of opportunity.
Huang Liuye's vision is undoubtedly an authority among other businessmen, and this authority is not written in official documents, nor is it a rule of the rivers and lakes, and it is completely dependent on his strength.
Therefore, many traders believe that no matter whether the government is reliable or not, if you donate with Huang Liuye, you will not lose!
After the wine bureau, the county government, which is usually quiet, became crowded.
Not only the proprietors of the famous trading houses in the county, but even the merchants in the town, all those who were conceited and had some wealth, also hurried over to find out the truth.
Although most people just come to see the wonders and join in the fun.
But after all, there are people like Huang Liuye, who can't wait to catch up with Wang County's order.
Even if this so-called relationship is in name only, at most it can only be used to bluff people.
……
Yongshun County Ya.
Huang Xiancheng had a gloomy face, looking at a group of lowly peddlers and pawns, shuttling around the county government at will.
The other officials didn't say a word when they saw their bosses, and they didn't dare to rush people away.
In the past, even if these people saw a lowest-level official, they had to put on a flattering smile immediately.
Otherwise, it is not just a certain person who will be offended, but the entire county government with intertwined relationships.
Now, although their smiles seemed to be the same as usual, they were still humble enough in front of Huang Xiancheng.
However, it always feels that the relationship between these businessmen and officials is gradually becoming delicate.
Huang Xiancheng stared gloomily at a fat-headed and big-eared businessman, and left the county office with brisk steps, his hands were empty, and he also gave away a large amount of money and food, but his expression seemed to be full of money.
He finally couldn't hold his breath anymore.
directly summoned Huang Donkey, suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice: "You repeat, how did Huang Lao Liu guarantee it at that time?" ”
Huang Xiancheng also called Huang Fu "Huang Lao Liu", obviously because it was difficult to accept the fact that he had turned against the water for a while.
I thought that I had completely grasped the so-called cousin, and the other party would obey my words.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xianling just made a broken stone tablet and promised to give him some false names, so he couldn't wait to change the court.
The dignified county Cheng, the second-class civil official in the county government, and the backer of many officials, was slapped in the face in public.
Although he didn't know what Huang Liuye wanted, Wang Xianling promised him many benefits in private.
Huang Xiancheng didn't care much anymore.
He only cares about it now, how can he make Huang Liuye die quickly.
This incident has completely angered him today, and he must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Huang Donkey looked at the head of the family who gritted his teeth and was full of blood, and felt a chill in his heart, and he didn't dare to hide it, and then replied tremblingly: "Sixth master...... That person didn't behave differently at that time, everything was as you guessed, Third Master. ”
"Moreover, a few days ago, he really lobbied other businessmen to make trouble in a group, which is not fake."
After Huang Donkey said that, he saw that Huang Xiancheng's sallow face first turned red, and then turned blue and purple due to anger.
Huang Xiancheng is not a dull person, and he also believes that this trusted servant will never dare to betray himself.
His keen intuition saw that all changes must have happened when Huang Liuye was invited to enter the county office.
Although Huang Xiancheng was not in the county office that day, he did not witness what happened in the county office.
Moreover, inside and outside the county government now, all the tolerances of daily patrols belong directly to Zhao Jin, and are not under the jurisdiction of the county.
But this does not mean that Huang County, who has been operating in Yongshun County for many years, cannot find out some of the things that happened that day.
Huang Xiancheng's hands and eyes are still densely covered in the county office.
A pair of eyes in the dark, although they can't see the light, but when this kind of whip is out of reach, it is also quite convenient.
For example, Ye Lao and Wang Xianling will inevitably not deign to greet them in person, so who received Huang Liuye?
The yellow donkey probably guessed his master's thoughts, and he was even more frightened in his heart, and he didn't dare to say more.
But when Huang Xiancheng looked at him with extremely coercive eyes, he finally couldn't stand the pressure and could only tell the truth.
"Yes," he said, "Yes...... It was Ye Wenchang's closed disciple, a young boy who was about seven or eight years old. ”
"Huh?"
Huang Xiancheng glared at Huang Donkey, he didn't expect that Wang County's order would assign Chen Ping to greet Huang Liuye.
Could it be that Ye Wenchang and Wang Xianling have become so close.
Although Huang Xiancheng is not from the Ming Arithmetic Department, he is also clear about Ye Lao's reputation, and this is by no means someone he can easily make things difficult.
Regardless of his local prestige for the time being, there are also a lot of peaches and plums scattered everywhere in other places, some of them became erudite people in the imperial examination, and some even became officials, which is no longer something that people like him can see.
Naturally, Chen Ping, as Ye Lao's closed disciple, is also a figure that Huang Xiancheng has to worry about.
The gloomy look on his face slowly put away, and he did not choose to do it immediately, but returned to his old mansion without saying a word, ready to think about it in the long run.
The east side of the county seat.
The ancestral house of the Huang family, which occupies a small half of the street.
Huang Xiancheng found the Huang family's concubine, four brothers of the same generation.
Without too many pleasantries, as soon as the five of them got together, Huang Xiancheng threw out the shocking news.
"Huang Fu betrayed the Huang family and switched to Wang County Order!"
Now that it has turned against water, it is time to change the name now.
As soon as these words came out, several old men were slightly stunned at first, and then they all laughed, and the boss of the Huang family smiled and said bluntly: "Could it be that the third brother misunderstood the sixth brother?" ”
"In recent years, the sixth brother has provided nearly half of the family's expenses."
"Although the third brother is not from a descendant family, his loyalty to the Huang family is beyond doubt, if the sixth brother's heart is hurt because of rumors and misunderstandings, it will not be conducive to family unity."
Seeing that the brothers not only did not have the slightest sense of crisis, but instead taught him a lesson, Huang Xiancheng shook his head in disappointment.
Fortunately, he never had much hope for these brothers who had been pampered since childhood.
Summoning them here is only a routine notice, so as not to cause chaos within the family.
He said categorically: "Huang Fu should have been born a long time ago, and now the solicitation of Wang County's order can be regarded as a reason at most. ”
"I have made up my mind, get rid of this dog thing immediately, in order to prevent future troubles, we must not let the majesty of our Huang family be completely defeated by him!"
As soon as the words fell, several Huang family members all showed strange expressions, as if they had expected it.
Since the old man of the previous generation did not ask about the world, although Huang Xiancheng was not the eldest son in the family, he was a local official and could give the family the greatest protection, so he was naturally elected as the leader of the entire Huang family.
In the past, if Huang Xiancheng said such passionate words, no matter what other people thought about things, they should at least show loyalty.
But Huang Liuye's contributions to the family in the past few years, they are also full of purpose, and it is really reckless to make such a decision before the situation is clear.
Everyone present was silent, and all of them watched quietly.
At this time, Huang Xiancheng had already become a bare-bones commander.
"Click...... Click......"
A familiar sound of footsteps came, walking steadily, unhurriedly, and very contrary to the atmosphere of the scene. After seeing the faces of the people who came, except for Huang Xiancheng, the other four people quickly stood up and moved to the sides.
Huang Liuye walked over with a kind smile like Maitreya Buddha.
Now is different from the past, for the first time in the Huang family's ancestral house, he straightened his chest and stood in front of Huang Xiancheng, without the humility of the past.
"Third brother, please let me go!"
Huang Liuye glanced at the chair under Huang Xiancheng's buttocks, and said with a smile.
At this time, Huang Xiancheng was already stunned.
Why was Huang Fu able to break into the ancestral house directly without his permission and without being reported by the doorman.
Why are his four brothers all respectful to Huang Fu, a relative.
Huang Liuye didn't give Huang Xiancheng much time to react, and when he saw that he didn't move, his face sank, and he restrained the sneer at the corner of his mouth, and directly stepped forward and dragged Huang Xiancheng down.
"Smack!"
Huang Xiancheng, who has not been treated so unreasonably for many years, is like a pug that has been thrown to the ground.
Not only was his head broken and a little blood oozing, but his face was covered with a layer of ash, and he was extremely embarrassed.
Huang Xiancheng looked around as if he had just woken up from a dream, his mind was groggy, thousands of thoughts were linked to each other, and the double torture of psychology and physiology made him have a splitting headache for a while.
He couldn't understand why Huang Fu dared to treat himself like this?
Could it be that he is not afraid of himself, a dignified court official?
Why didn't the other cousins stop it?
Huang Liuye had just sat down on the position of the head of the family, and the momentum of the whole person instantly changed dramatically.
It's like a stupid pig with a fat head and big ears, and in the blink of an eye, it has become a tiger that chooses people and devours people.
Under Huang Liuye's gaze, everyone lowered their heads in fear, and no longer dared to look at him.
Seeing that he was so easily shocked by these wine bags and rice bags in front of him, Huang Liuye pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a cruel and cold smile.
"You don't have to be afraid, after all, we are cousins!" ”
"However, third brother, you, the county leader, it is better to let Xian as soon as possible and not continue to do it."
"Third brother, are you willing to listen to your brother's advice?"
Under Huang Liuye's playful smile, Huang Xiancheng's clothes gradually became wet.
