Chapter 732 Under the Staff
.A topic about women finally made the atmosphere warm, and Shao Fang also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he also wanted to have a good chat with Chen, but the distant dialect between the dialects made him embarrassed to eat the sky, and even more so. When he saw this person, he suddenly said, "Let's play here, you don't want to eat both ends." Xu Pengju said without eating his style: "Tell me more specifically.
"It really depends on God's will." Shao Fang spread his hands and said, "It can be as short as two or three years, and it can be as long as three or five years.
This depends on the spirit of the emperor, so it is not very accurate."
"What does it mean to have two or three years? Three or five years? Two or three years, five years, six years, eight years, fifteen years," Xu Pengju laughed and said, "Your fortune telling is so slippery. Shao Fang smiled but didn't say anything, and ignored him anymore, but looked at him in a mysterious way.
Chen actually didn't believe in fate, but suddenly remembered an old thing, which made him feel moved... It was about ten years ago that he was summoned to the palace for the first time. When he met the then Tianshi Tao Zhongwen, the old Taoist with fairy spirit was, just saying that he had the will of the prime minister, and the words he spoke were roughly the same as that of the hero Shao.
But when he was at home, he would never be able to see any trace of his mind. He just smiled and said, "I'll ask you for your good words." After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Do you dare to ask about the name of Mr. Shao?" "The bandit's name is Xu Xiu." Shao Fang replied, Chen asked again, "Walking out of the Xiu or Xu Xiu?" "It's the latter." Shao Fang smiled self-deprecatingly, "A piece of useless rotten wood. Xu Pengju smiled and said, "Sure enough, he is so humble in his name."
"What a modesty?" Shao Fang didn't hide it and said with a wry smile: "When I was a child, I didn't study and become ambitious, and my father was so angry that he scolded me for being rotten all day long." As old as I was, I simply called myself "Tujiu" and bet on the old man with anger."
"Your old man is really strong." Xu Pengju smiled hilariously.
"It's not something that can't be sculpted?" Chen smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to have a pun, right?"
"Hehe" Shao Fang smiled and said, "I can't hide it from Jiangnan Gong. I, Shao Fang, can't bear to be held hostage, no one can change me at all. People say that studying hard is good, but I only like to dance with swords and guns; people like to walk on the horse-land platform, I prefer the floating rafts and seas; people must be gentle and elegant, but I am not making jokes; people are warm and affectionate, I only like to laugh and joking..." As he said that, he sang a small tune and said, "I am short of Liang Yuanyue, drinking Tokyo wine, enjoying Luoyang flowers, and climbing Zhangtai willows. I can play Go, know how to chew, fight, sing, singing, dancing, playing, and singing poems. , You can do the double land. You fell my teeth, tilted my mouth, lame my legs, and broke my hands. God and me are all kinds of criminals. You still refuse to stop. Then, except that the King of Hell calls himself, gods and ghosts come to hook, three souls return to the underworld, and seven souls are in a bad mood. Oh my God, then you won’t walk up the fireworks road..." The sound is free and easy, and the words are sonorous, and the unruly of a slutty child is singing to the fullest. Xu Pengju clapped his hands and said, "It is worthy of being the head of the Qinhuai River. What you want is this rogue spirit." Chen laughed and said, "After talking, do you just like to face people? "
"Not..." Shao Fang smiled: "I just don't want those rules to be bound by, but I never thought of causing trouble for others." As he said with deep meaning, "The greatest pleasure in my life is to help others."
"Is that so, haha..." Chen smiled and said, "By the way, I haven't thanked that day... Mr. Shao for helping him." He wanted to call him a letter, but he really couldn't call him a soothing, so he had to change his words to Mr. Shao. After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and said, "I'll give you a glass." Shao Fang knew that he was going to the point, so he hurriedly arched his body and took the wine glass with both hands, and smiled and said, "What a small matter, why not ask, you are too polite." "I took Mr. Shao's money for a few days." Chen smiled faintly, "I was very happy. I raised my hands and took out a kraft paper bag from my arms and put it on his hand.
Chen put the bag on the table again, pushed it gently to Shao Fang and said, "Click it and see if it's enough."
Shao Fang could not hide her surprise, but she still opened the paper bag as she said, and saw that it was a pile of secret checks of Huilian number, each of which was 10,000 taels, a total of 42.
"The extra one is just a little care." Chen picked up the teacup and sipped it lightly, "I should repay you with a drop of water. This little money is nothing. If Mr. Shao has anything to do, just tell me and I will do my best." "There is no need to be so anxious..." Shao Fang came back to his senses and said, "You should take this money back. It's not very useful to put it on me. I know there are too many places to use money in the southeast."
Chen smiled slightly, and Xu Pengju next to him immediately replied: "Shao Fang, please accept the Ba. The court borrowed money from individuals and said that it was unhappy. As for the southeast, you don't have to worry about it. The richest place in the world has not yet fallen to the point of being left without rice."
"Hehe, it seems that I'm worried again." Shao Fang smiled self-deprecatingly and said bluntly: "Actually, I know that I am afraid that the money is not coming from, so I must clear the relationship as soon as possible."
Looking at his staring eyes, Chen was not moved at all, his hands staggered on his chest and said, "Since that's the case, the official is open and honest. Although Mr. Shao's family business is rich, it is still a bit difficult to take out some cash without blinking, right?"
"It's not just a bit difficult." Shao Fang confessed, and said, "I'm just a poor piggy bank. I can't get it in and out quickly. Not to mention 400,000 taels, even 40,000 taels, I can't get it out. "Then this money..." Xu Pengju asked. "I'm going to tell the truth. I'm just a broker in this matter." Shao Fang knew that if you don't tell the truth, the dealings with these two noble people will be over until today. "Brand?" Xu Pengju asked, "Who hired you?" "Oh, the three-year-old child has lost his mother, and it's a long story." Shao Fang said, "Listen to me, let me start over.
Shao Fang never does serious things, but she can have a lot of wives and concubines at home, and she travels every day. The way to make money must be very wild. According to Xu Pengju, it is like Ximen Qing in the book you are reading, who specializes in earning money that others dare not earn, such as making private salt, putting money on their own, taking the lead, and helping with bribes. Today, acting as a broker on both sides is definitely the main business.
However, Shao Fang didn't take any job. He still didn't dare to earn money with too high risk. However, the commissioner was too strong, so he couldn't say anything. He had to speak loudly, saying that he couldn't handle it without 400,000 taels. As a result, the man didn't say anything, and a ship of silver came over, he could only take on the errands obediently. "Who is so bold?" Chen asked in a deep voice. "It's not the same person..." Shao Fang whispered: "I wonder if you have heard of... Nine Masters?"
"Nine Masters." Chen suddenly felt enlightened. It turned out that these guys were not just heard of, but they had a lot of connections. How could he forget that if he hadn't been in Suzhou, if he hadn't been working with Ruohan and his wife to overcome the difficulties together, these guys would have almost squeezed himself to death.
But now in thirty years, Hexi has been in Hedong for thirty years. Now the imperial court has changed its course. These big families with the Yan Party have completely stepped aside. Those local blamers also used the name of tracing the Japanese to suppress and extort them. When there were people on the top, they were naturally not afraid of these small characters, but once they had no backers, those county magistrates who destroyed their families and prefects who destroyed their families would have ways to rectify them.
Every day, relatives are captured and may be implicated at any time. How much money is spent on the bottomless pit, and the matter cannot be covered is smoothed out, and another pile has surfaced again. Press the gourd to float up and the ladle will be explained sooner or later.
In this case, self-rescue becomes a must, but now the climate is no longer possible. The road to choose is really the young master. He had fallen back and the Japanese pirates were no longer found. The people along the coast were unwilling to make trouble. In this situation where he had no power, he could only give up his face and beg his former rival to give up his hands and let them go.
"There are all the top figures in their families to guarantee that as long as you can keep your past grudges and save them." Shao Fang said: "Everything in the future will be followed by your arrangements. We will ensure that you will not chase the dog, and say that you will go east or west..." After the story, he picked up the teacup, drank the herbal tea and replied when he waited for Shen.
Chen Shu stood at the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the Qinhuai River in the misty mist outside, pondering and silent for a long time. In fact, there is no need to consider this matter at all, because he knows better than anyone else about the current situation of the nine masters in Jiangnan. He has always taken cold-eyed and even deliberately indulged countermeasures, not for the grudges of the past, and he is not so stingy. He is trying to force these big families to a dead end, so that they can only act according to their own wishes.
It's still far from the time to go, Chen thought in his mind: ▲ Have to take it slowly and wait until they have no way out." He made up his mind and turned to Shao Fang and said, "Your request is too great, and I have too many psychological bottom lines." To stop this liquidation, we need to manage the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate of the two capitals, and the governments in various places should also appease it. Even for Chen, it is definitely not a small project. Xu Pengju also said: Yes, Lao Shao, do you know where these silver come from?" "What's the way?" Even if Shao Fang knew, he had to pretend to be confused. "That was just dug out of the Quzhou mine!" Xu Pengju said sternly: "You won't know what's going on there, right?" "Ah..." Shao Fang's face turned pale and said, "Really:\}"
"Where can we still deceive you in our identities?" Xu Pengju snorted coldly and said, "The 400,000 taels of black money have become clean after passing the government's hands. This is called...washing!" He remembered Chen Juming's new term, and then according to the statement agreed earlier, he said, "Have you never read the Daming Rule? All those buried in the ground belong to the court. You secretly dug the imperial silver and then asked the court to clean it up for you. What do you think we are? Play with it casually..." Then Chen coughed twice, knowing that the adults thought it was unpleasant, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Do you?"
Shao Daxia was sweating profusely. He was strategic, brave, and dared to think and f, but he lost his meticulousness. He just felt that with the strength of the Nine Masters, it was not surprising that it would take much money to spend. But he didn't think carefully about whether there was any connection between so much cash and the silver mine riot that was in the process of being born.
Seeing that Xu Pengju's white face was almost the same, Chen finally came out to sing and said, "Hey, you don't have to be so angry, I believe Mr. Shao didn't know it."
"Sir, I'm sure." Juan Fang said as if she had caught a life-saving straw: "I, Shao Fang, have lived far away in the world, but I have always been law-abiding. If I really know that the money is not coming from right, I... I will never take on this job." As he said that, he slapped the table and said, "I, I'll settle the score with them!
"Oh, there is no need to be so." Chen signaled that he should not be anxious and said lightly: "No matter where he came from, this money is really urgent to save me. I accept this love, but you also told them that if you want to deal with me, you can, but there are two conditions. First, put away those condoms; second, wipe your butts clean. I hate the people who cause trouble for me the most... After these two things, let their heads come to Hangzhou to see me. If they can't do it, don't waste their time as soon as possible. "Yes, I remember." Shao Fang wiped his sweat as if he was fishing out of the water and said, "Transfer your order to them as soon as possible." "Um, it's great." Chen nodded, picked up his folding fan and said, "Thank you for your hospitality today, we will have a date later." As he said that, he walked down the stairs.
Seeing that the atmosphere is no longer suitable for having fun, Chen knew that he was not interested in these things. When Xu Pengju was about to finish the bill, Shao Fang said, "Don't check out and leave. Wait until I send the lord back to the house and come to play." After giving instructions, he quickly walked downstairs, followed Chen and said, "Wait for me, wait for me."
The mother downstairs was separated by Shenzui's guards, and I don't know what was talking about above. As soon as she saw Chen, she came down and hurriedly came up with a smile on her face and said, "Oh, kiss Master, why did you leave so soon?" Before Chen Ju could make a statement, Xu Pengju, who was behind, rescued him and said, "Master has something to do with you, I'll be delayed for a while and ask you!"
At this time, Shao Fang also came down and nodded to the madam. She quickly let her go aside and sent the master onto the boat and left with disagreement.
When the pleasure boat was far away, the madam asked Shao Fang strangely: "I met you in the brothel just to talk about it."
Without the pressure from the sun, Shao Fang became cheerful again, hugged the charming madam, and laughed: "You are so easy to be a Jiangnan manager? How many eyes are you looking at from the court to the local government? Waiting for a while to find a mistake, how dare you loosen the string in your mind?"
The old madam who was welcoming and seeing him knows the truth that 'Those who abandon me should not stay, the one who stays is the financial owner', so he leans softly in his arms, and said with a charming look: "There is such a beautiful Qinhuai Fengyue, and I think life is not as good as your Fengyue Team."
Shao Fang remembered the embarrassment in front of Shen Ju, and laughed: "Who said it was not?" As he said that, he wanted to pull the madam to relieve the anger in his heart.
The madam had known that he had a magic weapon, so he was naturally willing to do so. But 'Sister loves pretty, and the madam loves money' said this is the most reasonable thing. She let her whole body be squeezed into the mud, and she did not forget to ask: "Can you help me get the inscription?" Shao Fang suddenly lost interest and said depressedly: "My box of silver is not enough?"
When the madam heard this, she missed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and said coldly: "If you don't want it, just say it earlier. I'll give you an old face and ask for it, and I don't believe that he can say the word "no"." She didn't blame her for being so incompetent. If she could get a deep inscription, she would have retired at least twenty years earlier. But such a precious opportunity was placed in front of her, but she didn't seize it. She regretted it until now. How could she not feel that her future was bright and her interest was in vain?
Shao Fang was also like a basin of cold water and lost all her interest. She pushed the madam away and said, "It's really disappointing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
