Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 2 Sister-in-law knows too much

Li Yu smiled and took the tea bowl without drinking.

Raven's pretty face blushed, a trace of anger flashed, and then she returned to normal.

"Brother is suffering in prison, we need to get him as soon as possible." Crow said with a righteous look on his face.

"Do you have any ideas?" Li Yu asked directly.

"I can only beat people, you are a military division, you take your mind." The crow pulled out the nostrils and played again.

"I asked you to rob the prison and rush into the government office to rescue my eldest brother. Do you dare?"

The crow was frightened and waved his hands.

This is the world of the Qing Dynasty and the government.No matter how awesome the club is, it cannot cross the line.

No matter how hard your fist is, can it be stronger than the sword of the Eight Banners soldiers?

"Commander, don't make fun of me. Don't say such crazy things in the future, otherwise all brothers will suffer."

Li Yu sighed inwardly. No matter what era, being a gangster has no future.

In this dimension, if you achieve your best, you will be a high-ranking official in Suzhou City. You will take some of your younger brothers out on the streets, eat and drink in the brothels without paying them, and then rob a few women from good families.

When encountering a headhunter, they treat each other like brothers and entertain them with wine and meat.

When you meet the magistrate, you have to pay your respects every month and pay tribute every year.

When you meet a magistrate or a country squire who becomes an official, you have to kneel down and sing "Conquer".

If you accidentally offend any official or gentry, just give him a look.

He will be thrown into jail, his property will be confiscated, and he will be beaten to death.

……

Before time travel, Li Yu was an art student.

He knows what is most promising.

However, the top priority is to rescue Lei Hu, firstly out of loyalty, and secondly, to get the machine tool reward from the system.

"Sister-in-law, do you have the connections to a famous government official?"

"I know a little bit about Master Hu, who is from Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. He comes from the family of Master Xing, and he has won the trust of the master."

Li Yu was greatly confused. Lei Wen, a womanly family, knew too much.

This is extremely abnormal and there must be something hidden.

But I can’t care about this at the moment, and I’ll think about it more carefully when things calm down in the future.

Ravenshi obviously realized it, and sighed secretly in her heart. In order to save her husband, she didn't care much anymore.

Cunjutang's accounts are all in Li Yu's hands.

He has about 500 taels of cash at his disposal and is ready to launch a silver bullet offensive.

"Sister-in-law, I want to invite Mr. Hu out for a drink. Do you think so?"

"This person is arrogant and doesn't like to deal with strangers. There is a lawyer named Du in Shantang Street. If you have a good relationship with him, you can invite him through him."

"Sister-in-law is the hero among women." Li Yu praised sincerely.

The words and deeds of the two fell into the eyes of the crow.

He was cursing crazily in his heart, looking at each other as if he were nothing but air.

Shantang Street, outside Fucheng, is not affected by the curfew.

Many wealthy businessmen have purchased properties here for the convenience of access.

Luxurious restaurants and brothels are even gathering together for business, with music and entertainment every night.

It took Li Yu some time to find Du Ren, the great lawyer.

He was drinking wine at Fuyu Tower, but fortunately he was sober.

This Litigation Master Du is a master in the litigation industry in Suzhou City, with a sharp tongue and sharp thinking.

He has a close relationship with the government and various gangs.There are even some unclear connections with the water bandits in Taihu Lake.

Li Yu slandered that no matter what era, barristers are neither black nor white.

Cure colds, fight lawsuits, and add black to white.

……

"I heard about Cunju Hall."

"Mr. Du, is there any way to save him?"

"Boss Lei, this matter is just bad luck. Who would have thought that the suffering master's family would have a capital official? His rank is not high, only fifth grade, but his position is crucial. He, a member of the Communist Party of China, is a member of the Jiangnan Qing Dynasty in the Ministry of Household Affairs. manage!"

One of the responsibilities of the Jiangnan Purification Department is to audit the money and grain taxes in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces.

The owner of Li Yu's body is just a poor scholar. He knows nothing except reading the Four Classics.

He could only patiently ask for advice from Master Du.

"Actually, this matter can be big or small. The key depends on..."

Du Ren rubbed his fingers mysteriously, and Li Yu understood instantly.

Money can communicate with gods!

That night, Mr. Hu, the prisoner of Suzhou Prefecture, came.The private room by the window on the third floor is the most upscale private room in Fuyu Building.

The cost of 50 taels of silver per night does not include those watery ladies.

Master Hu is over forty years old and very arrogant.

In every gesture, he was more powerful than the ordinary court officials.

It is said that he was known as a child prodigy when he was a boy. He was born in middle school at the age of 10. Later, he repeatedly failed in the provincial examination.

So he gave up the idea of ​​taking the imperial examination and devoted himself to becoming a staff master.

Relying on his family's ancestral criminal experience and being cautious, he quickly became famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The starting salary of 2000 taels a year is staggering.

Theoretically, if a prefect is neither greedy nor shady, his legal income is about 3000 taels a year.

After three drinks, the show is halfway through.

Master Hu slowly introduced the topic:

"I heard that you are here for the Thunder Tiger case?"

"This case was actually not the result of the Palace Master's instruction, but the work of Mr. Tongjian Huang."

"Master Huang wants to flatter the Dong family, and it's hard for the Palace Master to stop him."

"But..."

Li Yu understood that the drama was coming.

He quickly answered: "Please give me some advice from senior, Cunjutang will never treat your benefactor badly."

……

Master Hu was very satisfied, partly because of Li Yu's correct attitude.

Half of it was because he was pleasing to the eye, and he was also a failure in the imperial examination.

There was also Du Ren who was making peace on the side, adding to the atmosphere.

Soon, he relaxed.

1000 taels can be used throughout the yamen, and everyone from the prefect to the custodian can get a benefit.

Huang Tongpuan himself will also take a share. If he does not agree, it will be tantamount to offending all colleagues and subordinates in the government office from top to bottom.

This is taboo in officialdom.

As for the landlord surnamed Dong, he also got a share of the money.

"Can the Dong family bear this breath?"

"I'm afraid the compensation alone won't be enough. I'll also fine Leihuhu 50 yuan."

"senior……"

"Don't worry, he doesn't have to be tortured himself. There are people with similar body types in the prison. Just find someone to take his place."

Master Hu was in a good mood and explained patiently.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't breathe a sigh of relief.

It cost me 100 taels to drink flower wine, and I gave another 100 taels to the middleman Du Ren.

The notch is huge.

For a time, the wine in Fuyulou no longer tasted good.

With the beauty by my side and the wine in my throat, I tasted bitterness and helplessness.

Master Hu seemed to see his difficulty and joked:

"Brother, are you short of money?"

"It doesn't matter, I will provide you with two ways to make money."

When he heard that there was money to be made, Li Yu immediately became energetic and handed over his hand.

……

"Well, you can borrow money from the gold bill account in the city. With the reputation of Cunjutang, it is not difficult to borrow 1000 taels of silver. But the interest rate is a bit high, 3 cents per month."

"Well, the Pan family in Pingjiang has a commission, and no one in the city dares to accept it."

Li Yu was very interested. This sounded more reliable.

"May I ask, senior, what's so special about this commission?"

"The Pan family and the Fan family have a dispute over 3000 acres of mulberry fields. The lawsuit has been going on for several years and there is no winner. There are gods behind them. It is difficult to resolve it officially, so the only choice is..."

Master Hu stopped when he clicked and continued to discuss the truth with his watery sister.

Du Ren quietly told Li Yu that it was best not to consider these two options.

The gold bill number demands money, and the Fan family’s life!
Seeing that he was puzzled, Du Ren explained patiently.

"The monthly interest is 3 cents, and the annual interest rate is 36%. If you borrow 1000 taels, you will have to pay back 1360 taels after one year."

When Li Yu heard this, he thought this was not possible. After taking into account various expenses, Cunjutang would only be left with 300 taels a year.

Du Ren smiled slightly and continued:
"The Pan family's job is like digging gold teeth into the mouth of the King of Hell. He wants to hire thugs to grab the land. He doesn't even think about what kind of family the Fan family is."
