Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Su Mu's first major point finally finished No.11 at two o'clock in the middle of the night Beijing time, and then started to talk about the second largest point.

Immediately, an old salt merchant stood up tremblingly and interrupted him: "Dare to ask Master Mei, how many smaller dots are there in your second largest dot?"

Su Mu: "Who are you?"

"Old Ge Ming."

"Oh, so it's Ming Weng."

"Don't dare to take it." Ming Weng's face was ashen, and he covered his lower abdomen with his hands, his face was full of pain.

As soon as this person entered the flower hall, he sat next to Yang Jianzhong and whispered non-stop. If he guessed correctly, this person should be closely related to the Yang family.

He was the oldest among the group of salt merchants, and his complexion was not good.Tormenting him all night, without food, drink or sleep, probably won't last long. This person should be the breakthrough point in today's matter.

Therefore, Su Mu has long paid attention to this person.He found that this man had been drinking tea non-stop since he entered the living room. By now, he was afraid that his bladder would burst.

Su Mu replied with a smile: "There are sixteen small points in my second largest point. If you finish speaking, you should clarify the differences between Mr. Wu and me in the half sentence just now."

"What, Mr. Wu just finished half a sentence, and you made these dozens of dots!" Ming Weng couldn't help screaming, his voice was full of frustration.

The other salt merchants in the hall also started commotion at the same time.

"Exactly, the Dao of Saints encompasses the principles of heaven and earth, and there is no room for carelessness." Wu Shiqi said seriously.

Ming Weng yelled again: "Your Excellency's words are of course reasonable, but the little old man is old and really can't stay up all night! Or, please ask Your Excellency to let the grassroots go home and come back tomorrow to listen to the teachings?"

Other salt merchants also echoed in low voices.

Wu Shiqi snorted, and everyone quickly quieted down.

"The ancients said, I heard that Daoxi died! You can't understand the truth, otherwise, if it spreads out, others will really think that this official is coercing you to donate money. If it doesn't work, you still have to explain the matter clearly to you. , we must convince people with virtue.”

"My lord, I am convinced, I am convinced. I am willing to give out 1 taels of silver to relieve the victims of the real debt and share the worries of the court."

Ming Weng ran forward in a hurry, with an impatient look on his face.

Yang Jianzhong didn't expect Ming Weng to turn his back on the water, his eyes widened: "Ming Weng."

Ming Weng turned his head: "Mr. Yang, I'm really sorry, I can't hold back anymore because of my kidney deficiency."

Su Mu laughed loudly, quickly took out the IOU that had already been written, and handed the pen to Ming Weng.

Ming Weng was also straightforward. After signing and signing, he threw the pen and ran out with the agility that an old man of this age does not possess.

After a while, a yamen servant shouted in surprise and anger from outside: "What's wrong with you, you dare to urinate anywhere in my Yansi yamen!"

Su Mu and Wu Shiqi smiled at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you have the first, you will have the second. This month's 30 taels will be completed.

……

Someone replaced them, and the salt merchants' idea of ​​holding a group to keep warm also fell through.

Thinking that it was only more than 1 taels of silver, it was nothing to everyone.This amount can be spent on making a batch of gold and silverware for a concubine casually on weekdays. If it is really given to the Yansi, it will not affect life.

Maybe Ming Weng now has his wife and children on the kang, and we are suffering so much, it is only more than 1 taels of silver, as for it?

Soon Su Mu talked about the second largest point and the sixth smallest point. At this time, the second salt merchant who was willing to pay stood up and signed an IOU of 2 taels, saying that it would be released early tomorrow morning. come over.

At the ninth o'clock, the third and fourth salt merchants surrendered.

The next thing was like plum blossoms and bamboos. By the time Su Mu reached the last point, he had eighteen IOUs in hand, and the total amount had greatly exceeded 30 taels of silver.

At this time, there were only four salt merchants left in the hall.

As Su Mu expected, Yang Jianzhong, a die-hard member, was naturally among them.

As for the other three, it wasn't because they were loyal to Yang Jian, or because they had great opinions on him, Su Mu.

After looking at their appearance, he ran through a series of information about these three people in his mind.Su Mu knew in his heart that among the three people, two of them were very strong, probably because they felt that they could carry it through, and there was no problem in staying up for a day and a night.

As for the other person, this person is a well-known old button. His family has millions of gold and silver, but he only eats meat once a month on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. For three years, he was an outlier among the extravagant salt merchants.Asking him to pay 1 taels of silver would simply kill him.

Yang Jianzhong was stubborn, probably because he had a premonition that the banquet would not be a good one. He didn't drink a sip of tea when he came in, and just sat there like a clay sculpture and wood carving. He even closed his eyes at this moment, looking like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. appearance.

Su Mu frowned in his heart: It seems that these four guys have never repented. Okay, let's continue to use Mr. Wu as a big killer, and see how long you can hold on?

He nodded to Mr. Wu, and said to the four of them: "I've finished adding my words, now please Mr. Wu continue to say the second half of his sentence."

Hearing that Su Mu's supplement was finally over, the four of them were slightly relieved.Let Su Mu go on talking about the first largest point and the nth smallest point, and he still has no head.

What's more, this person surnamed Mei speaks clichés and empty words, and he can say dozens of fucking points in a sentence that is obviously empty.It was strange to say that after listening to his words for a long time, people couldn't keep their eyes open. They just wished they could find a bed as soon as possible, throw their heads on it, and sleep soundly.

For Mr. Wu, there is more freshness!

But when Mr. Wu started to tell the story, everyone felt even more uncomfortable. Unlike Mei, who made people drowsy, the old man's words were very refreshing, not only that, but also made you feel irritable and breathless. ,

After only speaking for about half an hour, a businessman finally couldn't help standing up, wrote the IOU, and smiled wryly: "The words of the old man are deafening, and the common people admire them. I am willing to donate money to help the victims of the disaster."

There was another person who was probably driven crazy by Mr. Wu, and his spirit had completely collapsed, and he shouted: "I can't take it, I can't take it!"

I stumbled forward to write a note.

Looking at his eyes again, it is full of despair, worry, distress, depression, and full of negative energy.

Now, only Yang Jianzhong and that old button were left in the hall.

Su Mu is not in a hurry, he still has strong confidence in Mr. Wu's skills.

I talked too much just now, and I was sweating all over. Now it was dawn, and I didn't realize that I had stayed up all night. Su Mu was also hungry, so he went back to the kitchen again.

He had already collected enough money for Wu Shiqi, and besides the 30 taels he sent to the capital, there was still a lot left, which was enough for the yamen's expenses.

As soon as he was in a good mood and had a big appetite, he ate a lot and drank half a jar of rice wine.

It was only when the sky was dimly lit that I remembered that there were still two salt merchants on the other side of Mr. Wu who had not submitted!
