Chapter 145

Zheng Quan was taken aback.

Song Jiyun has already taught him the opportunity face-to-face: "Go and tell Mr. Wang's brother-in-law, and don't bother him to find any buyers. Mr. Wang's property in Liang County, I suffered a bit and helped him take over. Tonight I will arrange a boat and quietly send his family to Hangzhou."

Zheng Quan touched his head when he heard this.

The eldest lady also said before that she would give 5 taels of silver to the master Wang's brother-in-law to settle down.

Now that Master Wang has just been dismissed from office, the eldest lady's words have completely changed.

Not to mention the 5 taels of silver, but also to take over the property of Master Wang.

He hesitated and said: "Master Wang has been in Liang County for many years. Although he has fallen from power now, it is not for nothing that he has been a local snake for so many years. It is one thing for his brother-in-law to steal his money and run away in private. I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts to sell you the property that Master Wang sent under his name."

"That's up to him!" Song Jiyun sneered, "Don't forget, he secretly sold those properties because we led him and built a bridge for him."

Zheng Quan understood, and he said, "Miss, don't worry, I know what to do!"

Song Jiyun nodded, and said: "This matter must be done quickly. The king's boss has fallen, and there are still many people who are thinking about this piece of fat in the Wang family. If it is delayed, I'm afraid we may not have our share."

"I can save it!" Zheng Quan said, and walked away eagerly.

Song Jiyun nodded in satisfaction.

Turning around, she saw Yuan Yunzhong looking at her with a half-smile.

What does he mean?
Song Jiyun inexplicably felt a little guilty.

She coughed twice, and said: "Repaying grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue? Don't you also say that he deserved what he deserved? I am doing justice for the heavens!"

Yuan Yunzhong let out an "oh".

The ending sound dragged slightly, as if mocking her insincere words.

But he didn't say it clearly, so she just pretended she didn't understand.

Song Jiyun giggled twice, and told the driver in a whitewashed manner: "Let's go back quickly, so that my wife won't worry!"

The coachman raised his whip immediately.

Mule carts are driving on the streets of Liang County.

Yuan Yunzhong sat in the car without saying a word, staring at her steadfastly, his eyes were like lacquer, black and shiny, with an elusive depth.

Song Jiyun was a little uncomfortable being watched, so he simply raised the curtain and looked out.

Along the way, there were people talking about the king's book, and people dressed as scribes talked loudly beside the teahouse and wine shop: "It should have been dismissed long ago. Wasn't he the one who was in charge of patrolling the Mid-Autumn Festival lantern festival that year? It's not counted now. Wrong him!"

Others said: "What is this? In the catastrophe that year, nine out of ten households were not charged. On the one hand, the master Wang sent people to the countryside to collect taxes, and on the other hand, he gave usurious loans. The field has become theirs, have you forgotten?"

Old things have been dug out.

It's quite a taste of the wall being pushed down by everyone!
Song Jiyun listened with gusto.

The coachman saw him and slowly drove the car down the street.

Half an hour later, the mule cart stopped in front of Song's house.

Song Jiyun and Yuan Yunzhong got off the mule cart and went to greet Qian Shi first.

Qian didn't doubt it at all, and took her hand and said: "No matter how busy the kiln is, the most important thing is your health."

Song Jiyun hurriedly said: "This time it was an accident, I will pay attention to it in the future. I won't spend the night in the kiln again."

Qian felt sorry for her daughter, and immediately changed her words when she heard the words, and said, "If you are too busy, don't rush back and forth, just rest in the kiln factory. Zheng Quan will protect you..."

She said, thinking of Yuan Yunzhong, her eyes fell on Yuan Yunzhong with a smile, and said: "There is still Mr. Yuan, I don't worry if he helps you. You just take care of yourself. "

Song Jiyun understood Qian's worries, and after talking with Qian for a long time, he and Yuan Yunzhong got up and left.

It's just that they had just left Qian's courtyard when they ran into Zheng Quan who had returned from Master Wang's.

"Miss!" He bowed to Song Jiyun, and standing at the gate of Qian's courtyard with Song Jiyun, they talked about meeting Mr. Wang's brother-in-law, "That kid is a coward! Let him take Mr. Wang's money. He was so happy that he could not sell you the property that the master Wang sent in his name, he would not dare. Listen to me mentioning the properties he sold secretly, he is still dreaming of his spring and autumn dream , muttering that at worst he doesn’t want the 5 taels of silver, and he will go to Hangzhou by boat.”

Song Jiyun raised his eyebrows.

Zheng Quan continued: "I took out the deeds of the properties he sold privately, and then he became frightened, hugged my thigh and begged for mercy, saying that it is okay to let him sell those properties to you, but you have to Go to the government with him personally to sign the contract."

He also said: "It's useless for me to say anything. If he says he can't see you, he won't sell it."

"Then I'll go see him." Song Jiyun disagreed.

Since she dared to beat wolves, she was not afraid of being bitten by wolves.

Song Jiyun resigned from Yuan Yunzhong, went back to his yard to change clothes, and was going to meet Master Wang's brother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, when she came back after changing her clothes, the wind direction had completely changed.

Zheng Quan excitedly said to her: "Miss, Master Wang was suddenly arrested and sent to prison. It was said that someone was beating drums in front of the county government hall to sue Master Wang for accepting bribes and intervening in the sentence.

"A notice has been posted on the eight-character wall of the yamen, and the case will be heard publicly later.

"His brother-in-law probably got the letter. He came to see me quietly just now, saying that he is willing to sell us all the property that Master Wang sent under his name, and only asks us to send him out of Liang County tonight. Not only that, he also Willing to pay us 5 taels of money for the ship."

Such a coincidence!
It's like being handed a pillow when you're dozing off.

Song Jiyun looked at Zheng Quan's happy face, but there was a flash of surprise in his heart.

"Go and do this right away." She mused, "You don't have to wait for tonight, once the deed is transferred, you will arrange for him to leave Liang County. Don't wait a moment. Otherwise, things will change."

Zheng Quan left as promised.

Song Jiyun stood under the eaves, looking at the chirping orioles, and did not speak for a long time.

*
In the prison of the county government, it was gloomy and humid, and the smell was suffocating.

In the past, the Master Wang always patrolled the place with the attitude of the master. Now, with his coat stripped and his hands in shackles, he whispered to the old and haggard Mrs. Wang through the railings thick as arms: It must be impossible to keep it. You tell your brother-in-law to let him buy all my apparent property, as much as he can buy. I still have some friendship with Duke Huai. You have met Princess Huai more than once or twice. I paid the money, went to see Princess Huai, and tried to find a way to get me out.

"As long as I can go out, I'm not afraid that I won't have a chance to make a comeback."

Mrs. Wang's eyes were red and swollen, she nodded again and again, and said softly, "Master, you have to take care of yourself! My children and I are counting on you!"

Master Wang's eyes were a little moist, but he quickly became fierce: "If you let me know who is messing with me, I won't kill him."

As Mrs. Wang watched, she couldn't help but whispered again.

"Go!" Mr. Wang looked at the book, and urged Mrs. Wang impatiently, "it's not too late. You tell my brother-in-law, don't feel sorry for being stingy at this time, let alone be arrogant, as long as you can get the cash, those If the property is sold cheap, it will be sold cheap.”

Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly.
