Xuanxue boss, she became rich in ancient times by selling houses

Chapter 263 Bribing Zhao Xiancheng

Unlike the nouveau riche like Qian County Magistrate, Zhao's family, where the county magistrate is located, is itself a big hairpin family in the boundary of Yanzhou City.After three dynasties, it has not declined for a hundred years.

Zhao Xiancheng can barely be regarded as an upright and honest official, except for some unavoidable favors, those things that touch the principle, if you can not touch them, just stay away!
He was originally from the Zhao family in the city of Yanzhou with a prominent family background, so he looked down on that little bribe money.

The Zhao family has always advocated 'simplified living' and 'easy to do', but Zhao County Cheng likes Fengshui and loves the study room, so he moved almost all the good things from the whole house to the study room, which turned out to be self-defeating and ruined the Fengshui bureau.

After Gu Xixi's feng shui advice, Zhao County Prime Minister suddenly realized that it is still necessary to be simple and low-key in life.

When he went out this time, he didn't just wear common clothes.

When he was approaching Daniu Village, he had a sudden idea that it would be better to make a private visit by ordinary people.

He asked the coachman to park the carriage beside the official road at the entrance of the village, and the two of them walked to Daniu Village together.

Unexpectedly, when I was still at the entrance of the village, I heard this good show.

"Master County, County Prime Minister." Meng Er's lips trembled, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.

However, Zhao Xiancheng ignored him, just snorted coldly, walked over him to Li Junze and bowed his hands.

"Master Li, I'm afraid it's not the right time for me to come?"

Li Junze's smile gradually spread, "Master Xiancheng is a distinguished guest, it's because I didn't entertain him well."

"This is not a place to talk, please move to the humble house and sit down."

"Please—" Li Junze made a gesture of invitation, and led Zhao Xiancheng to his house in front of him.

As soon as he walked out of the crowd, Zhao Xiancheng whispered instructions to the driver who followed him.

The coachman received the order, turned around and headed towards the opposite village entrance.

Everyone in Daniu Village looked at each other.

They didn't even recognize it just now, they thought it was someone from another village who came to visit relatives, but it turned out to be the magistrate of the yamen!
Many people looked at Meng Er with sympathy and pity. This Meng Lizheng did a lot of things with a smiley face and two faces on weekdays.
Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the crowd dispersed one after another.

Meng Er glared at Dong's mother angrily, "Daniu his mother, why can't you shut the door with your mouth!"

Mother Dong felt guilty, but she still retorted forcefully, "Didn't you follow me when I said something just now?"

"Anyway, that son of a bitch, County Chancellor Zhao, is like a grasshopper after Yun Qiu, he can't hop around for two days."

Meng Er couldn't believe it. He looked around and saw no one, and then continued to whisper, "Are you serious?"

Dong's mother waved her hand, "Daniu said it was the meaning of County Magistrate Qian, so is it false?"

Meng Er thought the same thing, the county magistrate is more powerful than the county magistrate, and the first-level official crushes people to death.

There is nothing wrong with him trying to curry favor with Dong Daniu and his family.

After about an hour, horse-drawn carriages continued to drive into Daniu Village.

The car was loaded with all kinds of valuables and gorgeous gift boxes, and went straight to Li Junze's house.

This time, it once again caused quite a commotion in Daniu Village.

Meng Er jumped up and down anxiously, and hurriedly sent his wife to inquire.

"Oh, it's the county magistrate's brother-in-law, who said he came here specially to thank Li Junze's family."

The main thing is to thank Gu Xixi.

Later, when Wang Shi heard Zhao Xiancheng mention the matter of changing Feng Shui, he also clicked his tongue again and again.

He thought that this little lady surnamed Gu must be a strange person.

He had already prepared a generous gift, and wanted to come to the door in person to thank him.

It was his brother-in-law Zhao Xiancheng who stopped him, saying that Mrs. Gu must not like high-profile publicity.

Wang Shi just gave up.

I don't know why later, my brother-in-law Zhao Xiancheng asked the coachman to come back and inform him, and now he will come to thank him with a generous gift.

Wang Shi didn't delay at all, and let the Wang family's carriage set off to Daniu Village.

Meng Er listened to the cause and effect, his heart was mostly cold.

It was because Dong's mother patted her chest just now to convince him that Zhao Xiancheng was really going to be cool.

He didn't even go to Li Junze's house to apologize.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiancheng's brother-in-law not only did not commit a serious crime of implicating the nine clans, but made great contributions.

Li Junze's home.

Wang Shi looked at the dilapidated thatched cottage and frowned, "Brother-in-law, why didn't you tell me that the benefactor's house is like this in advance? If I knew this, I should bring some craftsmen to help repair the house together."

Hearing what he said, Li Chengxiao hurriedly said: "Don't bother the county magistrate, our family is already starting to build a new house, but the official document has not been approved, and I have been watching closely over the past two days."

Zhao Xiancheng frowned, sure enough, he had seen that Meng Li in Daniu Village was not a good guy.

If it sounds good, it's called tight stare, but if it sounds bad, isn't that just a stumbling block?
Wang Shi frowned, and said: "Brother-in-law, this is your fault, are those official documents under your control?"

Zhao Xiancheng slapped his head, "Look at my memory, I almost forgot about business."

He hurriedly took out official documents in black and white from his sleeve.

When he and the coachman came earlier, it was to deliver this official document to Li Junze's family and express their gratitude.

Seeing that good show at the entrance of the village, he actually forgot about the business.

"Thank you, Mr. County Prime Minister." Li Junze took the official document and stuffed it into his sleeve.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Xiancheng stood up and said goodbye, and returned to the county with his brother-in-law Wang Shi.

But Meng Lizheng, who had prepared the red seal and planned to make amends, just came late, and bumped into the doorway with Li Junze and others who were seeing off the guests.

"My lord, the county magistrate, I have offended you so much earlier, this little care is not a respect." While speaking, Meng Er handed over the red envelope in his hand, which contained five ten tael denomination silver notes.

An ordinary farmer's family is busy all year round, but they can only save two or three taels of silver.

This Meng Li was selling fifty taels of silver, so he was extremely rich.

They just don't know how the Meng family farmed Daniu Village for generations, how they managed to produce fifty taels of silver, and even exchanged them for easy-to-carry silver notes.

"The old lady of the Dong family is outspoken and doesn't know the rules. Please don't be as knowledgeable as the peasant women in the countryside." Meng Er said that Zhao County's prime minister was as knowledgeable as Dong's mother, but in fact he secretly accused him, and he also listened to the slander. However, the culprit is actually Dong's mother or Dong's family, Dong Daniu.

Zhao Xiancheng has been an official for many years, how can he not see his little thoughts?
But he didn't need to speak out, someone would help him to slap Meng Er in the face.

"Bah, what are you? Little Daniu Village is just right, and you want my brother-in-law to embarrass you?" While speaking, Wang Shi had already snatched the red envelope from Meng's second hand, and opened it in front of everyone.

"Fifty taels of silver is not a small amount. Meng Li is just capable. Is this trying to bribe my brother-in-law?"

The Wang family is also a well-off family in Tong County, but as the young master, Wang Shi's monthly salary is only three or four taels of silver.

Fifty taels of silver is more than enough to buy a second house in Tong County.

It can be seen that prices in Tongxian County are really in the doldrums.

This makes people wonder even more, where did Meng Er get the money?
"Bribing an official of the imperial court is a serious crime! Someone, tie him up for me, take him back to the county government office, and torture him severely."

Wang Shi said exactly what he said, and the servants of the Wang family immediately followed suit.
