Chapter 951

After receiving the message, the palace chief quickly rushed to Duke Ye's mansion, and transferred from Zhongming Courtyard to Jicheng Hall for the reason of looking for Gu Yun's business. The three men discussed for a while in Mrs. Gu's director's ear room, and Master Gu changed his mind. , Time really waits for no one, Shi Tianqi is an unexpected situation that is difficult to estimate.

So, taking advantage of the fact that the gates of the square and the city were not closed, Gu Yun'an and Gong Changji sent some people, all dressed as civilians, to pull a few cars out of the city under the guise of identities, and first rushed to the princess's village to ambush.

The guards of Duke Ye's mansion are not familiar with the ways of the clan's children, if they rashly contact the servants of the eldest princess' mansion, they may be found to be false in a few words, so the contact between the two parties will be carried on by the palace chief. The cronies are responsible.

Running away from a slave is a serious crime. After escaping, you have no identity. Once you are caught, you will die. It is not something that is forced or deeply hated. Fu's servant gave up everything and became a fugitive slave. This is not an ordinary difficult task. Gu Yun's words of being voluntary made his father and Gong Changji feel cold.

Cool to cool, things still have to be done, anyway, they are not my servants, so don't pity them.

The two sides made quick arrangements, and in the last few minutes, the two sent people to dress up as ordinary people, scattered out of the city, and rushed to the eldest princess's village overnight.

The next day, Gong Changji went to the city defense camp to find Wei Qian, told him the risks everyone was facing and the preparations he had made, and asked him to contact the prince to deal with the aftermath.

Wei Qian's wife, Shao Xinwei, and grandfather Master Shao is an official of the Eastern Palace, Shao Zhan of the Zhan Shifu, the husband and wife are both closely related to the crown prince, and Wei Qian knows all the ins and outs, so it's no mistake for him to handle this matter. In the afternoon, the prince's reinforcements went out of the city in disguise.

Gu Yun and the others were on guard against Shi Tianmin's brothers and sisters who noticed the signs of a game, and rushed to act first, but in fact, the brothers and sisters didn't care about this end at all.

Yesterday Shi Tianmin went to mourn his brother-in-law. The brother and sister met for a short time. They talked about mourning and the family's well-being, and the court's pursuit of smuggling. Those who paid out were forced to use their property to make up for it and so on.

For about two months since the princess mansion was sealed off, Shi Tianmin was under house arrest and didn't know what was going on outside. Both siblings had a lot to say, but they couldn't talk for a while after expressing their condolences. Someone came with Shi Tianmin, and the time was limited. On the return journey, if you don't follow, you will resist the decree.

Since the brothers and sisters didn't have time to talk about the lawsuit initiated by Yang Siyuan and his son, Gu Yun and the crown prince took a big advantage. In three or four days, they faked the scene of packing up their clothes and leaving without saying goodbye. This servant became a fugitive slave directly, but was actually forcibly taken away by the prince's hands.

Li Daxue is dead, and these people are important witnesses for the disaster relief. The prince still has a lot to ask them.

On the capital side, in the past three or four days, the situation of the Zhao family's smuggling case has further deteriorated. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs has finished calculating all the ledgers handed in by Shi Tianmin, as well as the ledgers obtained from Prince Yu's Mansion. Manpower, after calculating all the boxes of old accounts that have been accumulated for many years, I finally got the total amount of treasury taxes that the Zhao family has stolen through smuggling for so many years. The treasury has been rich for several years.

The saint was furious, the court was worried about money, and even the money for disaster relief was scarce, but it turned out that a swarm of greedy rats stole the money that belonged to the treasury, so they ordered Yu Wang's mansion and the princess' mansion to spit out all the money. If the silver is not enough, use assets to make up.

The imperial court forced them to come to the door to recover the taxes owed for decades of smuggling. The Palace of Prince Yu and the Palace of the Great Princess were already struggling to raise money. Even Shi Tianqi, who was familiar with the developments in the past two months, would not have the extra thought to think about what caused her natal family The reason for being banned, the lawsuit between Yang Siyuan and his son, let alone sending someone to her mother's Zhuangzi to check it out. All she could think about was what she could do for her mother's family, and there was nothing wrong with her husband's funeral. Taking care of her energy, her husband's family hated her behind her back and gritted her teeth.

However, the princess mansion is still sealed off, and Shi Tianmin can only go out when he is allowed to go out, so when the people in the Zhuangzi found out about the escaped slave, they rushed to Beijing to report to the master, but they saw the closed gates, small doors and The patrolling soldiers were so weak that they didn't even dare to stop the carriage. They left quickly and went back to Zhuangzi. All they thought in their minds was that those people escaped, so let's just run away. Don't say anything for now. Who knows when the princess mansion will be lifted. Well, maybe when the gate of the mansion is reopened, the masters themselves will not remember this incident.

The master himself can't protect himself, all kinds of things are entangled together, how can he remember a few servants in the village who can't even be named, Gu Yun's aftermath ended in a complete victory.

Prince Yu's Mansion is still under lockdown, only the butler comes out to run around for money, and no matter where he goes, someone follows him, supervising the butler to prevent talking about irrelevant things with outsiders.

The princess' mansion was also run around by the housekeeper. Shi Tianmin asked him to go to the factory to find Gu Yun. When the factory started, he invested 1 taels of dark shares. Now he wants to withdraw the shares for the sake of his family. Qian, I've seen enough of people's feelings of warmth and disrespect in the past few days. On the one hand, Shi Tianmin believes that Gu Yun is his good buddy, but on the other hand, he is a little worried whether Gu Yun will admit it.

Gu Yun heard the intention of the housekeeper of the eldest princess mansion, and readily agreed to the matter. He went home and counted out 2000 taels of banknotes. Sending it to the Eldest Princess Mansion, even now he doesn't take advantage of Shi Tianmin, because he doesn't know what will happen to the court after the Eldest Princess Mansion pays off the money, in case he is still a noble descendant of the Tian family...

So there's no need to tear up your face now, and you have to continue to be hypocritical.

The guards of Duke Ye's mansion rushed outside the princess' mansion, checked with the soldiers in front of the gate, knocked on the door and called out the butler, and handed him the bulging envelope.

Seeing that Gu Shizi not only accepted the account, but also gave the dividends that should be paid this year, the housekeeper suddenly burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed to the guards, scaring these young people to jump away quickly, and said a few words of comfort After that, he shook his head and beat the horse back.

When Shi Tianmin received the money from the housekeeper, he also cried a lot, thinking that the most valuable friend he has made in his life is Gu Yun.

But the 2000 taels is still a drop in the bucket. Shi Tianmin thought of his shares in the farm, and sent a housekeeper to see his sister. The brother and sister together are one of the three major shareholders of the farm. Shi Tianqi invested 1 taels at the beginning, and the rest of the money It was Shi Tianmin who voted, and now what Shi Tianmin wants to do is to see if his sister has spare money and let her be the major shareholder alone.

The farm has business prospects. My younger sister is a widow and her life is so long. She also needs money. She is a major shareholder and can live well with annual dividends.

Shi Tianqi burst into tears after hearing the butler's intention.

She really wanted to help raise money for her natal family, but unless she sold her dowry assets, the price would be severely suppressed if she sold it within a few days, and the money she got in the end might not be enough.

As long as he thinks that Gu Yun is the major shareholder of the farm, Shi Tianqi really wants to take over his brother's shares. If he retains his status as a shareholder, he will have the qualification to meet Gu Yun at any time. Goodbye to Gu Yun.

Seeing her crying sadly, the housekeeper knew her difficulties, and also knew how much her assets in the dowry were worth. He sighed, and after all, he didn't embarrass his aunt and grandma, so he left and went back.

After hearing the steward's reply, Shi Tianmin and his parents felt sad and couldn't bear it. The eldest princess felt sorry for her daughter and cried hoarsely. Shi Tianmin finally asked the steward to take the money that Gu Yun gave him to his younger sister to buy her shares, and then Bring the contract related to the shares and go to Gu Yun, and all the farm shares will be withdrawn to cash.

When Shi Tianqi saw the housekeeper bringing the money, he immediately understood what her mother's family meant, and sat there stiffly, her heart hurt like a knife, but she didn't make a scene, but shed tears quietly, and persuaded the housekeeper to do his job. She doesn't want the money, let the housekeeper take it back. In the current situation, an extra tael of silver is good, saving the family is the most important thing.

The butler sighed repeatedly, stomped his feet and resigned. Once he reached the street, he went to the Xilefang workshop. Gu Yun and Bai Kou were both there. Soldiers running around, the two greeted each other tacitly.

Bai Kou greeted the soldiers with refreshments, Gu Yun and the housekeeper went to talk, and at the same time, Bai Kou took out the golden abacus and started to calculate the general ledger. From the purchase of land to various constructions, each shareholder continued to add more money. If Shi Tianmin wants to cash out his shares, he must know how much money he has invested in total.

After Gu Yun and the housekeeper had a brief conversation, they returned to the table, and Bai Kou also finished the calculation, and wrote down the total on a piece of paper for Gu Yun and the housekeeper to see.

Because it is a major shareholder with decision-making power, the proportion of capital contribution is naturally high, and each investment is not a small amount of money. When the total is calculated, it is really staggering.

Gu Yun rubbed his nose, the proportions of the shares of the three major shareholders were not much different, it turned out that he himself invested almost as much money without knowing it.

"He knows the prospects of the farm, do you really want to retire completely?"

"Gu Shizi, you also know the current situation of our family. Our uncle is the head of the family, and the few concubines at the bottom may still be able to keep a few cents of his savings. He can't keep even half of his assets. living."

"But this way of withdrawing shares requires lowering the price. In business, you understand the housekeeper."

"I understand, I understand. Our uncle said that as long as someone bids within two or three days, a [-]% discount will do."

"[-]% off?!" Gu Yun was surprised.

"Even if you get a [-]% discount, it's better than being taken away by the court in the future. Once the court estimates the price, it can't even match this amount. If you can get a [-]% discount, it's not bad."

"Tsk, after all, you are the major shareholder. Even with a [-]% discount, the total is still tens of thousands of taels of silver. I will try my best. I will send someone to send it to you as soon as I get the money."

"Gu Shizi, I will thank you for everything. We have seen through this incident. Our uncle usually has so many friends. Only after this accident did we know who our real friends are." The housekeeper pulled up his sleeves and wiped his eyes, his voice choked up. .

Gu Yun sighed repeatedly, and politely saw off the guests.

Watching the soldiers and the housekeeper go away, Gu Yun quickly closed the door, put his hands on Bai Kou's table, leaned down to look at her, his eyes sparkled with excitement.

"You are already a minority shareholder, do you want to be the largest shareholder of the farm?"
