Chapter 61: Gift-giving

The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing, and it was just perfect weather.

Shangjing City Outer City, Yanyu Hutong.

A large mansion was crowded with people, blocking the street.

After the crackling firecrackers, the eunuch Du Lun, the master of ceremonies, ripped off the red cloth on the door with a spring breeze, and the words "looking for orphans" shone in the sun.

"Fellow villagers and elders in Shangjing, as we all know, a few days ago, my Dongchang and the Zhenguo Division jointly cracked a big case of kidnapping and reselling women and children, although the people involved are high and powerful, but Your Majesty understands the righteousness, and will never allow such scum to kill my Dasheng people, and now the culprit Chen Qian is subdued by the law, and the Black Tiger Gang entrenched in Shangjing City has also been eradicated, please rest assured!"

As soon as the words fell, bursts of applause and cheers poured in like a tide!

A few days ago, the scandal of Chen Qian, the son of Taifu, caused a storm in the city, and the Zhenguo Division posted notices everywhere in Shangjing City to expose the scandal of this person and the Black Tiger Gang, plus those rescued girls as witnesses, the people in Shangjing City were angry for a while!

Fortunately, Emperor Jingren issued an order in time to seriously deal with Chen Qian's case, and even put Chen Qian's head on display at the entrance of the vegetable market for three days, and eleven members of the Black Tiger Gang were beheaded, and the rest of the gang were either imprisoned or exiled to the army.

In addition, the Zhenguo Division released the news, Emperor Jingren asked Dongchang to set up a new orphan search department to help the people whose families were missing to find their loved ones, and the expenses were borne by the imperial court, which reversed the wind.

"This official announced that the orphan search division was officially established today, if you villagers and elders find that there is a crime of human trafficking, please go to the orphan search department in time to report, once it is verified to be true, the orphan search department will not only keep the identity of the whistleblower confidential, but also reward 100 taels of silver as a reward!"

Du Ren's voice was sharp and high-pitched, "Those people whose relatives have been abducted and trafficked by snakes, please also provide news clues for the orphan search company in time, and we will spare no effort to find your relatives for everyone!" ”

"Good! Your Majesty is benevolent! ”

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"My child is saved, my child is saved!"

The crowd cheered, and many people registered their information under the guidance of the guards in front of the door.

Immediately afterwards, the little eunuch beside Du Lun began to read out the list of materials donated by the hundreds of officials of the imperial court to support the search for orphans.

Don't look at the fact that these people wanted to overturn the case for Chen Qian and his son at the beginning, when the general trend is unstoppable, they also have to consider maintaining their image in the minds of the people, after all, in the eyes of the people below, it is a great act of kindness made by the imperial court, you can donate less, but your name cannot be absent from this donation list!

There are also a number of wealthy businessmen in Shangjing City, after getting the news, they have donated materials and money in the name of the business, this is a great opportunity to show their faces in front of the imperial court, how can they easily let it go?

As a result, wealthy businessmen donated thousands of taels at every turn, directly comparing a group of officials who acted stingy in order to show their integrity.

"Master Cui of the Ministry of Rites, offer five hundred taels of silver!"

"Lord Qin, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, offer one hundred and fifty taels of silver!"

"Jingsheng firm, offer 1,888 taels of silver, and wish the Queen Mother a blessed body and good health, happiness and longevity!"

"Jingsheng firm, originated in Yongde 17 years, has a history of more than 130 years, has been adhering to the business philosophy of being a person first and then being a businessman, and is a ...... for Dasheng"

As long as the day of the unveiling of the Lonely Division, donate more than 1,500 taels of silver, you can get a plaque of "Dasheng Confucian Merchant" written by Emperor Jingren himself, and give the official the opportunity to personally publicize it in front of the people for up to half a pillar of incense.

In the crowd, a man in white gently shook a folding fan and smiled warmly.

"It's strange that this Wen Chen has such an opportunity to show his face, but he has let his subordinates come forward......"

"Old horse, do a good deed for this king!"

The bald head behind him was a little curious, "Childe, this is not necessary, right?" Whether the people of Dasheng can find their relatives or not, what do we have to do with it? ”

Miao Gongzi smiled and shook his head, "This king's silver is not for them. ”

The hairless old man suddenly realized, "How much silver is that boy going to take?" ”

"If you want a long stream, it must be good for a long time, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels!" Miao Gongzi responded with a smile.

"Yes, the old slave will do it!"

The white-clothed boy was full of confidence, looked at the door of Xun Gusi, and snorted, "This king depends on how long you can sit inside!" ”

After a while, the little eunuch at the door read out loudly, "Yuzhou Miao Gongzi, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine taels of silver!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, it caused a lot of sensation among the crowd, you must know that many rich businessmen in front, even if they are rich, have not donated more than three thousand taels, and this suddenly came to ten thousand or two big households, but they do not show their real names, what is the picture?

Is it true that there is no money to spend?

"Did this Miao Gongzi also lose his child?"

"No, this name is a young man when I hear it, I think this wonderful boy is an orphan who has been abducted and trafficked, and he comes out like this, probably because he wants to ask the orphan to help him find his father!"

"Hey, with so much silver, what are you looking for your father and mother for, of course you're looking for a woman!"

"I don't understand, we don't understand the world of rich people!"

The white-clothed boy on the side, who originally had an indifferent face, became strange when he heard this, and after waiting for a long time, he saw that no one in the Lonely Division came out, snorted, turned around and walked in the direction of the inner city.

As everyone knows, Wen Chen, who is in his heart, is busy in the granary in the south of the city at this time.

Dozens of town guards used shovels to shovel out the sand and gravel from the gravel truck and mix it into the wheat pile.

Wen Chen stood not far away with his hands behind his back, "Brothers, work hard, finish it before dark, go to our house to receive the reward!" ”

"No!"

A group of Zhen Guowei suddenly cheered up and threw off their arms and started to work.

"Brother Wen, why can't you do this kind of unsightly thing at night, why did you choose this time?" Yu Peisheng, who was out of breath, came over and sat on the ground.

His body and bones were already weak, and he had to rest for half an hour.

Wen Chen glanced at him, "What day is today?" ”

"On the third day of the seventh month, why did Brother Wen ask that?" Yu Peisheng said curiously.

"Today is still the day of the unveiling of the Lonely Division, and the attention of those old things is there, so naturally they can't care about staring at our house all the time, and they will miss the opportunity at night!" Wen Chen said helplessly.

Yu Peisheng nodded thoughtfully, "It turns out that your lords are also keen to help the people......"

Wen Chen snorted, "They are keen to keep an eye on our family, and they have to record every amount of money raised by the Lonely Division today, and if there is a slight mistake in the future, it will be the reason to cut off our family's head!" ”

The little emperor thought about it that day, and finally found the best person to do it.

This batch of grain and grass mixed with stones must be guaranteed to be foolproof before leaving the capital, and the rumors must not be leaked, and if the inside story is known by the officials from Qingzhou, they will not give up.

But once Shangjing is out, then if there is a problem, it is their own business.

Therefore, Wen Chen chose today as the day of action, and the group of Zhen Guowei under his command were also carefully selected candidates who knew the roots.

The only link that may go wrong is the day of the grain inspection, and it seems that we have to find a chance to meet the benefactor of Concubine Jing's old father!

As the night fell, the last bag of grain was also re-stored with the efforts of everyone, just waiting for the Queen Mother's birthday to be transported to Qingzhou!

"Brothers, after receiving the reward, go directly to Qingfeng Tower, rest tomorrow, and open up to our family tonight!" Wen Chen greeted.

"Okay!"

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Han Rishan, who was sweating profusely, came up at this time, "Brother Wen, it's all arranged, before the grain is delivered, there will be our own people standing guard in shifts every day, and there will be no mistakes!" ”

Wen Chen bowed slightly, "The group of people from Qingzhou have also kept an eye on our family, the one named Li Qing, make an appointment tomorrow, and our family will meet him." ”

"No!"
