Chapter 397: Despair

The rich man Xia Jinwan sat in the meeting hall of the Xia Mansion, crossed Erlang's legs, hummed a little song, and comfortably drank the pre-rain tea "Guanlin Cuizhu" unique to "Guanlin Town", he really couldn't think of anything in this world that could not be solved with silver.

As long as it is something that can be solved by silver, in the eyes of the rich man Xia Jinwan, it is not a matter!

Because the rich man Xia Jinwan has nothing else, there is only silver left, and it is a lot of silver, although it cannot be said that he is rich and rivals the country, but his silver until now, his rich man Xia Jinwan himself has not been able to count it clearly, he himself does not know how much silver he has now, anyway, in the basement of their Xia Mansion, all the piles are gold ingots and silver ingots, which are piled up.

Just now, the rich man Xia Jinwan ran to the room of Liu E, the daughter-in-law of the widow Wu, and hugged the small jade, gentle and charming Liu E in his arms, telling his current troubles, telling that he might have provoked someone who shouldn't be messed with for her Liu E, and now his rich man Xia Jinwan is trying his best to properly handle this matter with silver.

The rich man Xia Jinwan also said that for your Liu E, no matter how much silver taels it costs, it is worth it, and he is willing to spend all the silver in the basement for you Liu E.

At first, when she knew that her father-in-law Dong Lang was killed in Xia Mansion, she was also very sad, but the rich man Xia Jinwan said that Dong Lang's death was caused by his own ghost and stealing from Xia Mansion, and it was all his Dong Lang's own fault, no wonder others.

Just when the rich man Xia Jinwan was thinking and enjoying himself, there were people who didn't know the current affairs and came to disturb the rich man Xia Jinwan enjoying his dream.

"Xia Xiong, what's wrong with you?" Xia Jinwan, the big rich man, reluctantly opened his squinted eyes, and he saw Xia Xiong, the housekeeper of Xia Mansion with his face covered with blood, being carried into the meeting hall of Xia Mansion, this kind of thing seems to have never happened in their Xia Mansion, this seems to be the first time; only to hear the big rich man Xia Jinwan shouting: "Who is it? Who beat you Xia Xiong, and Wang Fa? If you dare to hit the housekeeper of the Xia Mansion, then you will slap the face of the old man, and this matter is not over with them!"

"Thank you for worrying about Xia Xiong, master, Xia Xiong kowtowed to you!" Xia Xiong, the housekeeper of the Xia Mansion who was lying on the stretcher with his face covered with blood, struggled to get up and kowtow to their big lord and rich man Xia Jinwan, and when he saw their big lord and rich man Xia Jinwan waving his hand at him, he grinned again, lying on the stretcher with a painful expression, and continued to say to the rich man Xia Jinwan with a depressed expression: " Master, Xia Xiong touched a nail this time, and it was a big nail, and they asked me to bring you a message, but those words are too ugly, sir, if you don't listen!"

"It's okay, you say, Master Ben wants to listen!" The rich man Xia Jinwan stared at Xia Xiong, the housekeeper of his Xia Mansion, his eyes were tightly staring at Xia Xiong, and he could see that those who surrounded Xia Xiong's body did not put him, the rich man Xia Jinwan, in his eyes at all, and he didn't put it in his eyes at all, after all, the rich man Xia Jinwan is a person who has seen the world, the more things he encounters, the more he can calm down, only to hear the big rich man Xia Jinwan then asked:" Xia Xiong, whatever they say, you can say anything, Master Ben won't blame you!"

"Master, it seems that this time it is not ordinary people who come to your detriment, I heard them say that they were instructed by a Hou Ye to surround our Xia Mansion!" Xia Xiong, the housekeeper of Xia Mansion, was lying on the stretcher, and wanted to turn over, but he felt that his whole body was in pain, so he simply lay on the stretcher and continued: "They said, no matter how much money you use, you can't solve this matter, they let you wait for death in the Xia Mansion!"

"What? What are you talking about? Master Hou, the Hou Ye in the court all have a relationship with Xia, Master Ben really can't think of which Hou Ye can't get along with Xia!" Xia Jinwan, the rich man, patted his head with his hand, thought about it and continued: "A month ago, Xia also asked someone to send 50,000 taels of silver tattoo to the 'Marquis of Buyi' Qin, in this country, what else would dare to get along with me Xia Jinwan? Xia Xiong, did you hear it wrong!"

"Master, Xia Xiong is not seventy or eighty years old, his ears are not back, his eyes are not dazzled, how can he hear it wrong?" Xia Xiong, the housekeeper of the Xia Mansion, heard the master say that he heard it wrong, he was really anxious, because this was what he obviously heard, but the rich man Xia Jin Wanxia didn't believe him, and the Xia Mansion housekeeper Xia Xiong hurriedly defended and said: "That's what they said in their mouths, it's true, if there is the slightest mistake, you can ask Xia Xiong!"

"But Master Ben has a very strong relationship with several marquis in the court, and they can't do anything against me Xia Jinwan for this black widow!" Xia Jinwan, the rich man, showed an innocent expression on his face and continued: "Think about the old man's son-in-law or the official of the court, Yu Qianzhang Yu, they just don't give the old man Xia Jinwan face, they also have to give face to the official department Shangshu Yu Qianzhang Yu, they can't come to get along with me Xia Jinwan, there must be something you can't think of in this matter." ”

"Master, Lord Zhao from the prefect is here, saying that I must see your master if there is something important. Just as the rich man Xia Jinwan was meditating, the voice of the Xia Mansion family came from outside the door, and he only heard the family Ding continue: "Master, Lord Zhao also said, let you go to greet them in person, saying that there are two first-class officials in the court who are also here!"

"What kind of person, who is not ashamed to speak, I have to go to meet them in person, is it that my lord and I are not an official in the court, and they are not big or small?" Although the rich man Xia Jinwan said so, he still could carry it clearly, and the first-class officials in the court came to his mansion at this vivid and sensitive time, to give him face, maybe it was also for the sake of his son-in-law's minister, Shangshu Yu Qianzhang, Lord Yu, he couldn't care about so much face now, so he still went to the door of the Xia Mansion to greet him, only to hear the rich man Xia Jinwan continued: "You hurry up and let people come to change the clothes of this master, this master can't insult Sven!"

"Master, it's too late, they've already broken in...... Rush...... Walk in!" The guy outside the door didn't know why, he stammered at this time, and continued to say inarticulately: "I've seen Lord Zhao!"

"Your master is really a big shelf, where is he?" At this time, the stern voice of the prefect Zhao came from outside the door, and after the rich man Xia Jinwan heard it, he felt that his tone was wrong, usually this prefect Zhao wanted to come to their Xia Mansion before he dared to enter the Xia Mansion after making an appointment and passing it on, he dared to go straight to their Xia Mansion today, and the rich man Xia Jinwan heard the prefect Zhao in the meeting hall of the Xia Mansion said: " When is it, what kind of big master's shelf is still here, it seems that he has also lived to the end, Xia Jinwan, Wu Yaoqing, the first-class military secretary in the imperial court, and Shangshutai Chunfeng of the Criminal Department came to Xia Mansion in person, you haven't come out to greet you, the more you live, the more you can pose?"

Xia Jinwan, the wealthy man, heard what the prefect Zhao had just said in the meeting hall, and his mind was "buzzing"...... This...... This time it's a big problem.

Moreover, this Master Wu Yaoqing of the Ministry of War and Lord Wu of the Criminal Department of Shangshu Tai Chunfeng Tai and their son-in-law Lord Yu Qianzhang Yu of the Ministry of Officials are close friends, and the two of them are Lord Shangshu, he Xia Jinwan has been in contact with the Ministry of Shangshu Mansion, they know each other, how could they come to embarrass themselves? Thinking of this, the rich man Xia Jinwan couldn't help but straighten his waist and walked out of the meeting hall of the Xia Mansion.

"Master Xia, you are such a big shelf!" At this time, Lord Zhao, the prefect, stared at Xia Jinwan, the rich man who had just walked out of the Xia Mansion Hall, with a straight face, and said, "Why don't you hurry up and meet the two Lord Shangshu!"

"Xia Mou meets the two Shangshu adults!" Xia Jinwan, the rich man, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Son-in-law Yu Qianzhang Yu must be very familiar with the two Shangshu adults, we are all our own people, why make it like a stranger, please two Shangshu adults!"

"Oh, it turns out that your rich lord Xia is relying on Lord Yu Qianzhang, the official of the court, to support you, so you are bold and reckless, and you regard human life as grass and care!" I think I, Wu Yaoqing, am also an important minister of the imperial court, a dignified secretary of the military department, you Xia Jinwan is still a grass citizen, you actually see the secretary of the military department and don't pay attention to it, it seems that what Hou Ye said is right, your son-in-law is the culprit of this matter, it seems that if you want to take down Xia Jinwan, you must first take down the secretary of the ministry Yu Qianzhang Yu. ”

"Lord Wu, don't talk to him too much about uselessness, let's just do what Master Hou wants. Lord Chunfeng Tai of the Criminal Department looked at the rich man Xia Jinwan with his eyes, and then said to Lord Wu Yaoqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "Alas, in fact, I will not do these unethical things at all when I am an official in the court, it is these people who have harmed people a lot, and they have harmed us a lot, Lord Wu." ”

"The two Shangshu adults, Xia's son-in-law and anything else, he doesn't know, it's all done by the old man, and the two Shangshu adults are asked to find out!" The rich man Xia Jinwan only knew at this time that he was likely to be unable to escape this time, only to see him blushing with an old face, he clasped his hands into fists and bowed and continued: "Xia has been nesting in Xia's mansion and does not ask about the rights and wrongs of the world, I don't know which Hou Ye has offended, can you ask the two Shangshu adults to see the sake of the little son-in-law Yu Qianzhang Yu, and inform Xia that Xia must be grateful." ”

"Alas, this Hou Ye can be said to be a high-powered, powerful and oppositional ruler, you have offended that Hou Ye so far, don't you have a number in your heart?"

"Oh, the two Lord Shangshu, Xia Mou understands, Xia Mou knows which Hou Ye Xia has offended. Xia Jinwan, the rich man of "Guanlin Town", let out a long breath at this time, and said with a smile: "A while ago, Xia Mou has arranged for someone to send 50,000 taels of silver to the 'Buyi Hou' Hou Ye, if the Hou Ye thinks it is less, even if he talks to Xia, Xia will send someone to send another 50,000 taels of silver, and the 'Buyi Hou' Hou Ye should not treat Xia like this!"

"Oh, you actually sent silver taels to 'Bu Yihou', it seems that you are really hopeless!" Lord Shangshutai Chunfeng Tai of the Criminal Department stared at the eyes of the rich man Xia Jinwan tightly and said: "Originally, Tai wanted to save you once for the sake of your son-in-law Yu Qianzhang Yu, but now it seems that even the gods can't save you, maybe because of you, your good son-in-law Yu Qianzhang Yu will be harmed." Lord Chunfeng Tai of the Criminal Department turned to Lord Wu Yaoqing Wu of the Ministry of War and said: "Lord Wu, it seems that we have to do official business, if Lord Hou knows that we are bending the law for personal gain, I am afraid that our heads will not be guaranteed, Lord Wu." ”

"Alas, we were originally officials in the court, but it was these ignorant people who harmed us!" Wu Yaoqing, the secretary of the military department, said: "Rich man Xia, do you know where you are wrong?"

"Xia really doesn't know what's wrong? Just ask the two Shangshu lords to tell Xia!" Xia Jinwan, the big rich man who has always been above the top and empty-eyed, only at this time did he really feel that the crisis that suffocated him had come, but he was also in the clouds now, I don't know what was going on, Xia Jinwan, the big rich man of "Guanlin Town", bowed down with his hands and fists: "Two Shangshu lords, please look at the face of your son-in-law Yu Qianzhang Yu, and tell Xia the truth what happened!"

Xia Jinwan, the rich man, did not feel completely desperate until this time.

So, will Lord Wu Yaoqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Lord Chunfengtai, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, look at the face of Lord Yu Qianzhang Yu of the Ministry of Officials, and tell all the causes and consequences of the incident to Xia Jinwan, the rich man of "Guanlin Town", who is above the top and empty-eyed?
