Chen Qiao was over 60 years old, so he took two servants to the prefecture yamen.

The manager joined the military and was in charge of the Sijiyuan. During the reign of Emperor Taizu, the name of the Sijiyuan was Sikuyuan. As the name suggests, everyone could see things from this name.

Later, when Emperor Taizong, Sikoyuan was renamed the Siguanyuan, which was in charge of criminal investigation and investigation.

This is what the manager Chen Song did when he joined the army.

"Shenqiao?"

Chen Song frowned and said, "What are he here to do?"

A small official next to him said, "As the news, Shen Jian, who sold food, was cheated of two thousand guan, and hanged himself. Fortunately, he did not die. Shen Qiao was probably here for this."

Chen Song sneered: "That man turned out to be a liar?"

The little official was surprised, "Who do you know Fan Hu when you join the army?"

Chen Song touched his head, "Last time I met outside, I was drinking with several local merchants. When I saw someone, I flattered me and said I wanted to drink, so I went there, and there was Shen Jian at the dinner. This is to use someone as a matchmaker! What a courage."

"Then Shenqiao..." the little official smiled bitterly: "After all, it's the Shen family!" He knew that Chen Song definitely got the benefits from it.

Chen Song said lightly: "The man from Bianliang called himself Xiongzhou Chen. He has never been with the Shen family in Xuzhou for more than ten years. There is a Chen Mi who is still the uncle in the capital, but he never pays attention to it. It can be seen that the man treats the Shen family as a stranger. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with someone, so he is not afraid. Let him tell Chen Qiao that this matter has nothing to do with someone, so he will report to the official by himself."

The little official said, "Isn't that still a Shenmi?"

Chen Song sneered: "Chen Mi was given shameless by Chen An in public. Now he has lost his prestige in the Qunmusi Department. In addition, he is about to retire. Where can I get Xuzhou?"

The little official went out after hearing this.

Chen Qiao was waiting outside, and when he saw the minor official coming, he smiled and said, "Official, I..."

The little official said with a stern face: "I have said that this matter has nothing to do with him, so you can report it to the official."

Chen Qiao turned pale when she heard this, "This matter... Then... Fan Hu invited Dalang to drink at that time, and Chen Zongjun was there during the meal! If it weren't for Chen Zongjun, how could Dalang believe that Fan Hu..."

The little official looked stern, "Slandered the army and turned around and put your family in prison!"

Chen Qiao was angry, "My family is also a family of officials, why... why?"

The little official looked around and whispered: "This matter... I want to find someone to help."

He was ordered to threaten Chen Qiao with a stern face, but he didn't want to offend anyone in private.

Chen Qiao understood, and he bowed and said goodbye.

The little official sighed: "I am afraid of causing trouble when joining the army, but I forgot... the blood is thicker than water! If the Shen family begged to go to Bianliang, hey! No, Chen Mi has been in the group shepherd's office for many years, but Chen An didn't help, so Chen Mi's situation is bad now. Could it be that he really doesn't recognize the relative of the Shen family?"

He went to find an old official and asked about this.

The old official glanced at him, "Go to the yamen..."

There is no benefit, don’t think about asking for help. This is the rule in the yamen. The minor official smiled and said, “I went to the restaurant and I will treat you.”

The old official nodded, "You are smart. But I won't drink your wine in vain. These things can save your life at critical moments.

Chen An's father Chen Bian was a talented man in Xuzhou back then. He was smooth at the beginning and worked as an official all the way, but later he suddenly changed and went home to move his family to the south.

Chen Qiao was the one who made the decision at home, so he didn't agree. What do you think about this?"

The old official looked at him with a smile, with a look of uncertainty in his eyes.

The little official shook his head, "Xuzhou is not far from the capital, it is much better than Hangzhou."

"That's true." The old official smiled with relief: "Later, it parted in dissatisfaction. Chen Bian came back to bury his wife Liang. Since that time, he has never returned to Xuzhou again. What happened later..."

The old official squinted his old eyes, and the wrinkles on his face were stacked, like old tree bark. "Later, Chen Bian became famous and advised the officials and prime ministers that the Song Dynasty should train troops and prepare for the Northern Expedition. Later, he went to Xiongzhou and still did not interact with each other."

The little official said, "But Chen Bian... isn't he missing?"

"Yes! When the news reached Xuzhou, the news came together that the young man Chen An entered the court and was still working at the official family." The old official sighed and said, "If Chen An's brother and sister were poor, Chen Qiao would definitely reach out. However, Chen An became famous for his youth, and Chen Qiao was stubborn, so he naturally refused to follow him. So both sides have been like strangers for the past ten years."

"It turns out to be like this?" the little official sighed: "Chen Bian was inexplicably at the beginning, but later he was stubborn on one side. No, he thought it was stubborn on both sides, so he was cold."

The old official patted his shoulder, "Yes! Both sides are stubborn. Chen An's momentum is unstoppable. He will definitely be the prime minister in the political affairs hall in the future. Does Chen Qiao regret it? He must have regretted it. But people would rather be poor than lose that tone... You should remember these things and learn from them."

"Remember to go to the yamen to wait for me."

The old official went back swayingly, and a vague voice came, "The only thing that cannot be seen through in this world is face. If you lose your face, you will suddenly become enlightened!"

"Save your face down and suddenly enlightened..." The little official couldn't help but become confused when he thought of this sentence, and then said proudly: "Anyway, he has become a good person."

...

After Chen Qiao returned home, he saw that Shen Jian was still stupid. Thinking of his experience in the prefecture yamen just now, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

The grandson Chen Bin was serving him by the side and couldn't help but comfort him.

"Alang, it's time to pay the salary of the grain shop." A servant came to report the news, and he looked particularly frustrated.

Many times, once you start to be lucky, you will be lucky one after another, even for many years.

On the other hand, once you start to be unlucky, you will be stuffed with your teeth if you drink a sip of cold water.

Chen Qiao said, "Give it to them!"

The servant who came to report the news shook his head and said, "Alang, the family has no money."

Chen Qiao was shocked and asked, "Do you actually have no money?"

The Shen family is just a well-off society. They were cheated of almost two thousand guan, which can be said to have cheated away all their assets.

"Mr. Lang borrowed more than 200 knots for this transaction. Alang is afraid that those people will come to ask for money after hearing the news!"

Chen Qiao has not been in charge of business these years and is just enjoying her happiness at home. At this moment, his son is stupid and needs to stand up to shelter from the wind and rain.

He then went out to find relatives and friends. When he came back, his eyes were full of despair. "Those relatives and friends knew about our family, and they were afraid that they could not repay them if they borrowed them. They would get thirty trump cards for coming and going."

Chen Bin was only seventeen years old, and when he was young and energetic, he became angry when he heard this, "Weng Weng, our family was very good to them in the past. What is this not ungratefulness?"

"This is not called ungratefulness." Chen Qiao sighed: "At this time, helping is a love affair, not helping... that is duty. It is always urgent to save people. Who will save the poor? Our family is about to be ruined, and there is a lot of money left. If you can't tell the difference between this, it will be difficult for you to become a human being in the future."

Chen Bin was young and couldn't help but feel desperate when he heard this.

Chen Qiao sighed, "You go."

He sat by the bed and looked at his son.

"You are stubborn for your father, so you are stubborn, so you get this retribution. Now you are desperate, and you are so sad for your father... but you can't help you."

Chen Qiao wiped his tears, "For my father, I just want to kill that Fan Hu, but Chen Song just shirked it. He was angry for my father! I was worried! But I had no choice but to do anything and could do nothing..."

He sat until the early morning of the next day.

When Chen Bin came in again, he saw that his own Weng Weng's hair had turned white, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Weng Weng, your hair!"

The Shen family were all alarmed and rushed over.

Chen Qiao walked out tremblingly. In the morning light, everyone saw that his hair turned white overnight, and they couldn't help feeling discouraged.

"Don't be afraid."

Chen Qiao smiled and said, "This matter is not impossible, but the government is unreliable."

Who depends on that?

In the morning, the Shen family courtyard was lifeless.

"I always think that my life will be like this, but now I think that I was wrong at the beginning. I was too stubborn and too proud of my face. Dalang is so embarrassed and angry, and he is so angry that he must think of a solution..."

He held the door frame and sighed, "Now I can only ask for that person."

Everyone looked up, a little puzzled.

"Brother Bin."

Chen Bin stepped forward to support Shen Qiao.

"You go." Chen Qiao mocked himself: "It's all Weng Weng's fault, you go to Bianliang."

Chen Bin asked, "Weng Weng, what are you going to Bianliang for?"

"You go and look for that person... and say..." Chen Qiao closed his eyes, "and said I was wrong."

He has been holding on for many years, and as soon as he admits his mistake, he becomes decadent.

"Weng Weng, who?"

"Your cousin...Chen An."

...

"Your Majesty, the news from all over the place."

During the court meeting, news kept coming.

"All parts of Jingdong Road, people enthusiastically borrowed money, and even Yanzhou, which had just been hit by disaster, had more than 100,000 yuan, which added up..."

Zhao Shu felt a little proud, "There are more than two million traffic on Jingdong Road."

Next comes news from other places.

"Hedong Road...more than three million chunks, these are roughly, and there will be fine reports later."

Zhao Shu smiled and looked at the next one: "Hebei Road also has more than three million guan. Good!"
