Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Thinking of Yang Jianzhong's arrogant appearance on the river yesterday, Su Mu felt a little unhappy.

However, he scared that guy so much that he peed his pants, and this time he stayed up all night again, and the bad breath in his heart also vented.Come to think of it, under Mr. Wu's torture, he has already raised the white flag to surrender, right?

Putting down the wine bowl, Su Mu hummed a little song and walked towards the flower hall again.

After walking a few steps, he saw Yang Jianzhong and the old button rushing towards the outside of the yamen.

Su Mu smiled in his heart: Even if you, Yang Jianzhong, are arrogant and domineering, even under the fatigue bombardment of my Su Mu, you have to shrink your eggs obediently!

He just laughed: "Mr. Yang, Lao Kou, you guys came out too?"

Seeing Su Mu, Lao Kou looked a little flustered, but took Yang Jianzhong to stare at Su Mu viciously, and shouted: "This tonight must have been written by Master Mei, someone Yang has been taught. After listening to Mr. Wu The words of the sages mentioned in the book are enlightened, and the mind is clear. From now on, we will never turn around, and there will always be times when we meet."

Su Mu: "Yes, when the time comes, we still have to get close."

Yang Jianzhong: "Master Mei has collected 30 taels this month, and what about next month! From now on, we dare not come to eat the food of Yansi. When Yanyin is released next year, we don't know that Master Mei Are you still here, and where did you go to get rich?"

"We'll talk about next month's affairs next month." Su Mu spread his hands and smiled indifferently.Indeed, today's situation is urgent, and they will not be fooled even if they blackmail the salt merchants, so they have to find another way.

But where did this method come from?

Su Mu felt a little headache.

Lao Kou stomped his feet: "Mr. Yang, what time is it? What are you talking about, let's go!"

Yang Jianzhong gave Su Mu a bitter look, and cupped his hands: "Farewell!"

"Excellent officials, please go!" Su Mu laughed.

When the two left, Su Mu remembered the anxious expression of the old man just now, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

He hurried to the flower hall, but saw the old man sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, snoring.

Su Mu hurriedly patted him on the shoulder: "Old sir, old mister."

Wu Shiqi opened his eyes with a "ah", and said: "Practice his position, perform his rituals, play his music, respect his respect, love his relatives...Did I mention this just now?"

Su Mu's head exploded with a buzzing sound: "Don't talk about it, my lord, everyone is gone."

"All gone?" The old man was still confused. ,

Seeing his expression, Su Mu hurriedly asked: "Old man, did Yang Jianzhong pay the money and leave just now?"

"Pay the money, no, ah... where did he go?" Wu Shiqi woke up suddenly, and then he looked guilty: "I was too tired just now, so I stared past."

Su Mu smiled wryly, he couldn't speak any more, he was also wondering, isn't there guards outside the flower hall, why did Yang Jianzhong leave?

"Come on, come in."

Hearing Su Mu's shout, four soldiers guarding the door came in and knelt in front of Su Mu and Master Wu: "What orders does the Elder Master have?"

Su Mu shouted angrily: "Where did you go just now, why didn't you know who left?"

The four soldiers kowtowed, and one of them boldly said: "Yang Jianzhong also knows that he left the villain."

"How courageous, how dare to make up your own mind!" Wu Shiqi was so angry that his face turned livid.

The man yelled injustice: "My lord, even if a villain has the guts of a bear, he wouldn't dare to release the salt merchants privately. It's really, really..."

"What is it really?" Su Mu asked.

"Indeed, Mr. Gu San came here just now, and the elder was sleeping at that time. After Mr. Gu San said a few words to Yang Jianzhong, did he ask us to release him?"

Su Mu said angrily: "If he tells you to release him, you should release him. He is just an aide, why should he be the master?"

The soldiers muttered a few times, and whispered; "The matter in the yamen, before Mr. Mei came, was discussed by Mr. Gu San and his staff. It was like this before... How dare a villain disobey..."

Su Mu has come to understand, before he came to the yamen, Mr. Wu had already been dismissed by the people from the Yan Division, and his words could not be counted.And what he said when Su Mu first came, it is understandable for him not to be taken seriously because his authority has not been established, but he didn't want to let Third Young Master Gu take advantage of the loophole.

Reluctantly waving his hands to tell the four soldiers to retreat, Su Mu thought to himself: I have heard people say that Gu Run has a close relationship with the salt merchants, and that he spends his days and nights outside, all of which are paid by the salt merchants.It can be said that Gu San is the clearer of the salt merchants, and he turned against me, Su Mu.Now that I have this opportunity, I naturally want to let Yang Jianzhong go, first to return the favor of the salt merchant, and second, to frustrate my Su Mu's limelight.

This birdman, in order to fight against me, Su Mu, even ignored the overall situation.

Su Mu spat: "Gu Run is a foodie!"

Seeing that Su Mu was so annoyed, Lord Wu reassured Su Mu: "Su Mu, we are only temporarily working in the Yansi for a few months, and we still have to leave after completing the errands assigned by the court. Ten thousand taels is already enough, and Shaoyang Jianzhong’s more than 30 taels doesn’t matter.”

Su Mu smiled wryly and shook his head: "My lord doesn't know how powerful this is. This month's money is enough, what about next month, and next month!"

Now that Yang Jianzhong was able to retire from the Yan Division, if he said it, it would be a very glorious thing.Moreover, I, Su Mu and Wu Shiqi, seem to have suffered a small loss on the surface, and my reputation has been damaged.As soon as a leaf falls, autumn is known, and the salt merchants are afraid that they will no longer listen to the words of the salt company.

Su Mu explained for a long time, and then said: "Actually, I plan to make up the 30 taels of silver, and I won't ask them to donate money next month. What I want is their attitude. Then, everyone is discussing, Let's see if we can find a way to make a fortune and raise funds. Now, no matter what we say or do, the salt merchants will not cooperate with us."

Only then did Wu Shiqi understand, and he called out, "It's bitter, so what should I do?"

Su Mu: "Forget it, let me think about it and see if there is any other way. My lord should gather manpower and ships as soon as possible, and arrange for people to send them to the capital as soon as the salt merchant's money arrives."

"Well, now we can only take one step at a time." Wu Shiqi nodded repeatedly.

The two talked for a while, and went to their respective rooms to rest.

At noon, the money from the salt merchants came to the Yamen one after another, and soon a small mountain was piled up in the warehouse.

The next step is to melt the broken silver and cast it into 50 taels of official silver, and then send [-] soldiers under the banner of the Yan Division to send it to the capital to pay to the household department.

Although the Yansi yamen has a lot of people, but no one came to help, they all watched with cold eyes, all relying on Su Mu's hands and feet.

When the boat set off, the whole day passed, and Su Mu felt that his limbs were all soft, and he was exhausted.

He also sighed in his heart: This month is considered to be the completion of the task, next month... it's a good idea to think about it.
