In a guild hall in the capital division.

The representatives of the local big families in Yongping Mansion received an invitation from Jinyiwei to come over to "go to the appointment", but after arriving, they only saw Caihuang dressed in plain clothes, and Sun Shangqi, the envoy sent by Jinyiwei, only showed his face at the beginning of the meeting.

"Cai is in charge, are you the Cai family, or the Huang family? What's going on with this coming out? ”

Basically, the representatives of these big families who came were not imprisoned, and the families that were imprisoned could only be filled by people from the side branches.

In Yongping Mansion alone, there are at least hundreds of big families with heads and faces, but only twelve of them were imprisoned this time, and the rest are all panicked.

As for the Cai family, it was not a wealthy family in Yongping Mansion, at most it was a second-rate family, but because the Cai Huang family's maiden family was the Huang family, she had a certain right to speak.

But now that the Huang family has been convicted again, the entire family has collapsed, and few people are willing to have any connection with the Huang family.

The Caihuang clan changed the weakness of the woman in the boudoir, and looked very resolute, and the tone was even a little domineering: "It doesn't matter which family the concubine represents, you just need to know that someone in Jinyiwei is standing behind the concubine." ”

"Who was that just now?"

The representatives of these large households in Yongping Mansion had a lot of discussions, and some of them directly came out to inquire.

Caihuang said: "It's Sun Qianhu of Jinyiwei, to put it mildly, this Lord Qianhu wants your life, and you have to obediently stick your head out." Now give you leeway, don't you want? ”

There are all gentlemen.

In other words, at any time, women are not allowed to be on this kind of stage.

But now the situation is pressing, and this group of people can't care about the rule that women can't come out to run the house.

Cai Huang said: "I think you also know that my younger brothers and sisters are relatives of Cai Guogong, and they have already recognized their relatives, and my Huang family has been able to get out of trouble." ”

"Not necessarily, right?"

A family surnamed Yuan, one person came out, not the head of the family, but a member of the second generation, and his tone was still a little arrogant, "I heard that your Huang family and the Zhao family have a deep connection, they used to do business together, and the two families also had a marriage, and the people next to them can get out of trouble, can you?" ”

Cai Huang sneered: "The surname Yuan, don't think I don't know you, you are the second child of the Yuan family, why didn't your father and brother come, let you be a bad seed?" ”

"You ......"

The second eldest of the Yuan family looked at each other angrily.

was humiliated in public by a woman, and his face was a little unbearable.

"Now that I'm out to talk about things, even Lord Jinyi Wei Qianhu is by the side to support you, what kind of skin do you have to talk to me? Your Yuan family has a lot of business with Fanbang, I heard that I used to have dealings with the poor master at the border gate, do you want me to report it and check your family well? ”

Cai Huang is not a vegetarian either.

Since your surname Yuan came out to question me first, then I will eliminate you on behalf of Jinyiwei.

Take you Liwei.

"What is there to be afraid of in our Yuan family?" The second child of the Yuan family naturally doesn't eat a woman.

Cai Huang then turned around and entered the inner hall, as if he was looking for someone to support her.

As soon as they left, the main hall exploded.

Some people also reminded: "Don't be angry with a little woman, who knows where she comes from?" As soon as this woman's background is strong, you don't even know how big a panache she is. ”

The second child of the Yuan family said: "With her appearance, what big man can she catch?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Sun Shangqi reappeared in the main hall with a team of brocade guards.

"Which one is the Yuan family?"

Sun Shangqi said sharply.

The second child of the Yuan family shrank his head and wanted to hide in the crowd, but he was pulled out, and the person who was still showing kindness to him just now was also reminding at this time: "This adult, it's him!" ”

The second child of the Yuan family was pushed out like this.

"Official, do you have something?" The second child of the Yuan family looked evasive, and he already regretted it in his heart.

"I heard that your Yuan family still has dealings with Fanbang? That is, the case was unclear before, go with them, go to the Imperial Prison, and make it clear to the people who watch the cell! "Sun Shangqi is not used to problems.

If you kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, then you have to use some ruthlessness.

Jin Yiwei does things, and now it is relatively low-key, but Jin Yiwei has never been afraid of things.

The second elder of the Yuan family said: "Official, you have to be aware of everything." Our Yuan family, there is no such thing, it is all framed by this woman. ”

Sun Shangqi said: "Whether it is planted or not, you will know after asking." Come on, take away! ”

……

……

In the second child of the Yuan family, who was like a pig, the person was taken away.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and they didn't raise any questions anymore, and when Sun Shangqi led people to leave and returned to the inner hall, and only the Caihuang clan was left outside, these families were honest and didn't speak.

"You're lucky."

Cai Huang remade his opening remarks, "Some people didn't send people to Jingshi, so they missed today's meeting, and if they want to gain a foothold in Yongping Mansion in the future, it will also depend on your face." ”

"Lottery master, this is ...... Why does it sound so intoxicating? ”

"Yes, we just want to live in peace, it's a big deal to move to other places, many people have migrated from the border and other places, and it's not impossible to return to their hometowns to live!"

Many of the big households around the capital moved north as a whole after Yongle, and some migrated from the northwest to close to the capital, and this situation was not uncommon after the change of Tumubao.

Their idea is that since they can't get along in Yongping Mansion, they will hide back in their ancestral home and continue to live the life of a wealthy family.

"It's easy for you to think." Cai Huang said, "If you don't cooperate today, you won't have a good life wherever you go!" ”

This group of representatives of large households felt that they were on a thief ship.

None of them wanted to deal with Cai Huang's.

"You have seen Governor Liu of Jizhen before, and you must also know that Cai Guogong wants to open a mine in Yongping Mansion, and he will also open a shipyard, and in the future, he will need to help him train troops there, calm the people, and even build some earthen forts, don't you want to contribute money and efforts?" Cai Huang said.

Someone asked, "Who do you really represent?" ”

Cai Huang said: "I represent myself!" Cai Guogong is His Majesty's most trusted minister, and most of your good days now are brought by him, do you dare to deny it? ”

A person surnamed Sun came out and said, "Cai Guogong is able to govern the country and the country, but what does it have to do with me and other Xiaomin?" We can't help either! ”

"Humph!" Cai Huang's tone was not good, "You can't help the right guy, but the ability to help the bad is not small." Who led people to the mine to cause trouble? The previous Sun Qianhu was attacked and injured his arm with a bow and arrow, who did it, and now he is still investigating! ”

The people of the Sun family didn't dare to pick up the stubble casually.

Although some people are very disgusted with the Caihuang family, some families are typical of "being prepared for danger in times of peace", especially for fear of being liquidated.

"Master Cai, let me ask, are you coming forward for Cai Guogong now?" Several old guys at the scene, each of whom was fifty or sixty years old, even if they were not at home, they all had the right to speak, and after quietly discussing, one of them came out and asked.

Cai Huang said: "Cai Guogong is not in the house now, but presiding over the township examination of Shuntian Mansion in the Gongyuan, can any of your people come to take the exam?" ”

No one answered.

Even if there is, it is embarrassing at this time, and it is difficult to answer it head-on.

Yongping Mansion is also subordinate to Beizhili, and it is not surprising that they are big families, and it is not surprising that some of their children come out to take the township examination.

"But before Cai Guogong went to preside over the township test, he made it clear that as long as you cooperate with the court to do things, you will not be liquidated, otherwise you will be like the culprit, and you will inevitably go bankrupt, as for the family is ruined...... It's not impossible! ”

Cai Huang said, taking out a roster from his arms, "What you said to Governor Liu before doesn't count, now with me, make another promise, no matter how much food you take out, pay the bottom, so that I can make peace with Cai Guogong, so that he can help you!" ”

The scene is frying again.

Some people even think that Caihuang is holding chicken feathers as arrows and treating himself as the number one person.

We don't even bother the governor of Jizhou Town, come to stammer you little woman? Can you represent Yongpyeong?

"I don't know if I can take a step to speak?" Someone came out of the crowd, and after speaking, no one knew anyone at the scene.

"Who are you?" Cai Huang also looked at the past.

"It's a big deal, and I want to talk to you. Maybe it can help. This man was also very realistic, and immediately asked someone to carry a box.

This is also the first person to give gifts to Cai Huang's here.

Cai Huang saw that the other party was full of "sincerity", and his face changed when he landed, and nodded: "Then come in and talk." Just give this group of uneyed people a little time to think about it! ”

……

……

In a small hall next to the main hall.

Cai Huang stood with this man about forty years old, and the man immediately identified himself: "The Xiang family is now alive and dead, and it is difficult to get through the relationship, and I hope you can show you a clear path, I must be grateful!" ”

"How grateful?" Cai Huang is also a real person.

The other party said: "This is just a small courtesy, after the matter is completed, the Xiang family will definitely obey your orders." Whether it is to help Cai Guogong or to assist the local government to protect the territory and the people, it is incumbent on him. ”

Cai Huang narrowed his eyes and said: "Forget about the people next to you, your Xiang family, this time it is the target of everyone." I heard that it has something to do with you, but now I can't wait to get rid of it with you, and when I hear about your identity, I turn around and leave. ”

The man said helplessly: "It's just some snobs, how can they be like Cai Dangjia, who has great ability, and can actually climb a high branch like Cai Guogong." I was also clumsy before, and I never thought that the safety of Yongping Mansion would be on your shoulders. ”

"It's fine." Cai Huang said, "The words can be handed to you, but it depends on what Cai Guogong needs you to do." If you are knowledgeable, it is not impossible for you to get out of trouble. ”

"Thank you!"

The man seemed grateful, but he didn't fully believe in Cai Huang.

"But Cai is in charge, I don't know when I can see Cai Guogong?"

Cai Huang said: "I want to see Cai Guogong himself, I'm afraid there is no such good way to go, I'll speak for you, can't I?" ”

"This ......"

"Don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe in the color of the family.,It's just such a big thing at home.,It's not appropriate to tell outsiders.,I'm afraid it's not appropriate.。 If you don't look at this, as long as you give a way, the Xiang family will give each other a generous gift, and thank you for the great kindness of the lottery master. ”

"Humph!"

"Master Cai, you have to forgive me, now the Xiang clan is qualified to speak, and they are all in prison, and I am not qualified to say too much. You also want to preside over the overall situation in Yongping Mansion in the future, if you have the support of the Xiang clan, wouldn't you get twice the result with half the effort? ”

Hearing this, Cai Huang's heart was moved.

Cai Huang is an ambitious woman, and when she is the head of the Huang family, she seems too low-key.

Her goal is to be a white glove for Zhang Zhou and manage the business of the entire Yongping Mansion.

"Then I'll say, what if your Xiang clan is ungrateful at that time?"

"The Xiang clan is willing to hand over everything to you to deploy first, and then you will be the reborn parents of the Xiang clan, you will be sent in the future, but if the Xiang clan has any disobedience, you just let Cai Guogong and Jinyi Wei kill the Xiang clan!"

"Hmm." Cai Huang nodded and said, "Then I'll go talk to Sun Qianhu first!" ”

……

……

Just when the Caihuang clan was mediating and arguing with the representatives of local large households, Sun Shangqi also saw a person in the inner hall, who was Zhang Zhou's "descendant", a salt merchant from the south of the Yangtze River, and the daughter of the Chen family.

After Chen arrived in Beijing, in addition to helping Ning Tong do the wood and stone business, he also worked for Zhang Zhou, opened an iron mine in Zhangjiakou and a coal mine in Taiyuan.

She was not involved in the business of Yongping Mansion.

But because she herself is Zhang Zhou's white glove, this time it involves communication with local families, and Zhang Zhou has already written to Datong in advance to ask her to return to Beijing to work together.

"Master Chen, before my grandfather entered the Tribute Academy, he had an order, after you come back, if there is any connection to help, Jinyi Wei will cooperate with you."

Sun Shangqi is a clear-eyed person.

Seeing that the other party is a young and beautiful chick, or Zhang Zhou's doorman, it goes without saying that this is Zhang Zhou's outer house.

Even if he is not a lady, he has to be treated as a lady, in case this little lady blows the wind in his ears in front of Zhang Zhou or something, then does he want to mix it up in the future?

But he obviously misestimated the relationship between Chen's daughter and Zhang Zhou, although Zhang Zhou is not a decent gentleman, but Zhang Zhou, at least until now, has not attacked Chen's daughter, also because Zhang Zhou still wants to use her to make money.

A little girl who hasn't grown yet, Zhang Zhou hasn't been able to "poison the hand" yet.

Chen's daughter said: "Sun Qianhu, you are polite, my grandfather just asked me to come back and take over some business, not from the mine, but from the south of the Yangtze River to the north." It is said that it is the salt factory of Hainingwei, and the salt produced has now been sold to the land of Gyeonggi......"

Chen's daughter is the daughter of Yanyun Tongzhi, and she is more proficient in salt business, and she has a wide range of contacts in this area.

Sun Shangqi said: "Don't worry, if there is anything that needs to be supported, just say hello to Jinyiwei." ”

As he was speaking, Caihuang's voice sounded from the door: "Lord Qianhu, someone from the Xiang family came to ask for guilt, saying that he was willing to serve Cai Guogong in the future." You see...... Do you want to escalate the matter? Xiang has a wide range of local connections, or can help Cai Guogong...... It's a great thing. ”

As he spoke, Cai Huang also looked up and looked inside.

Sun Shangqi, who was very proud in front of him before, now seems to be slapping a woman, and this woman is only eighteen or nineteen years old.

And he doesn't comb his hair, as if his sister-in-law is alone and unmarried.

Cai Huang's family is already old Zhu Huang after all, seeing this scene, she can't help but feel jealous, and looking at Chen's daughter's gaze, she is not so friendly. (End of chapter)
