Song Yi

Chapter 567

Wang Jinzhen agreed, and immediately wrote a letter to his son Wang Ding'an: "Take my letter and send it to the old general and the others to find Du Wenhao in person, so as not to delay it. And ask him to heal the old general. But my heroes on the Liangzhe Road fought bloody battles against the pirates back then. Many people in Hangzhou saw that battle at the top of the city. If it weren’t for the old general who took the lead and led the troops to kill the pirates, Hangzhou would be bleeding like a river. If we are helpless for a hero and cannot relieve his pain, it is our dereliction of duty, and we must tell you the most important thing, Uncle Du."

Wang Ding'an hurriedly nodded and agreed repeatedly.

In fact, in all dynasties, there has never been a shortage of bandits on the sea. There are bandits on land and pirates on the sea, especially in the Song Dynasty where the commodity economy was extremely developed.In the Song Dynasty, private persons were allowed to go to sea for trade, and the porcelain brocades and other items of the Song Dynasty were favored by overseas buyers.

Therefore, maritime trade was very developed throughout the Song Dynasty, and many merchant ships came and went on the sea, shuttling trade.Facing these rich sea ships, pirates certainly would not look at the fat on their lips and not plunder them.

There are also some pirates who gathered in groups and even robbed the rich coastal towns. Lands of wealth and business like Hangzhou naturally became the most attractive fat on the lips of pirates.Decades ago, a large group of pirates attacked Hangzhou. It was the old general who bravely fought against the Hangzhou garrison, repelled the pirate attack, and saved the city of Hangzhou.

He also became the deployment of soldiers and horses in Hangzhou in that battle.The existence of the Wei family made the pirates so frightened that they didn't even dare to harass Hangzhou to defend the nearby waters in the past 30 to [-] years.

This is why Wang Jinzhen respected the old general so much and asked his son to ask Du Wenhao for help with his own letter.

After receiving the letter, the group set off immediately and rushed back to Hangzhou Mansion.

…………

Longevity Hall of Hangzhou Prefecture.

The old man brought his two sons, Su Changkong and Changqi, to the third son's Changsheng Hall to discuss matters.A lot of things have happened these days, and the old man is not like before, he has to call his third son over for a lecture on everything, and now he is more willing to come to the door in person.The same is true today, the family is sitting in the living room of the inner house, discussing matters.

The old man said with a gloomy face: "Then Du Wenhao actually rejected the gift from the Lin family in public. Although the 30 taels of silver were poured into the West Lake by officers and soldiers, it was nothing to the Lin family. Something happened to the Lin family again, and the old lady died suddenly. My son, Lin Tao, and grandson, Lin Guodong, were also beheaded. The Lin family is now devastated, with only a group of female relatives left, so I think this is an opportunity."

"It's easier for these female family members to talk and do things. If they go to Du Wenhao and give the 30 taels of silver to Du Wenhao, Du Wenhao may accept it. After all, the Lin family has experienced so many things, and it is a group of female family members who are going to beg Du Wenhao, he likes women the most, otherwise he wouldn't be the son-in-law. Didn't he just take a fancy to our Wanrou's beauty? So, my idea is that you should go to the Lin family, Talk about it tactfully, and see if they can give another 30 taels of silver to Du Wenhao."

Su Changkong also nodded and said: "That's right, such a large amount of money, it's really not reconciled not to get it."

Su Changqi said: "Third brother, you still have to come forward for this matter, because after all, Du Wenhao is the son-in-law you recruited. As long as you come forward, the Lin family may agree to it. After all, after they have gone through this incident, they changed Perhaps a group of housekeepers will not speak so harshly."

Su Changsheng was a little embarrassed: "He cured the old lady's illness, so the old lady sent him the money, and repeatedly asked him to accept it. But now that the old lady has died suddenly, can the Lin family accept this account? "

The old man shook his head and said: "You don't understand this. The Lin family is a big family that pays great attention to reputation. It is no different from our Su family. It is one of the four major families in Hangzhou. What they say will never be invalidated, otherwise the Lin family will Where is his face?"

Su Changsheng murmured in his heart, what face does the Lin family have now, Lin Tao and his son Lin Guodong were sent to the execution ground and beheaded, and now they have become a joke in Hangzhou.

The old man seemed to have thought about this problem, and explained: "Although something happened to him now, the century-old reputation of the big family will not be destroyed by one or two incidents. The Lin family still has a younger generation, and the big one The foundation of the family business has not been touched, and will gradually recover. Of course, this is not something they need to worry about. What I want to say is that the reason why Du Wenhao refused the money and refused to take the money is because the Lin family is superior and domineering. Stance has a lot to do with it. Then Du Wenhao is a little bit of a bad-tempered kid, if you offend him, he'd rather not have the money but let it go."

"The domineering old lady is dead, including the domineering Lin Tao and his son Lin Guodong. If the Lin family brings up this matter again and sends the money, maybe Du Wenhao will accept it. I believe the rest of the Lin family will accept it. People shouldn't be so domineering."

"On that plaque, it was actually written that the Lin family gifted 30 taels of silver, and Du Wenhao thanked him. It's like a beggar, and I need someone to thank you. I still understand Du Wenhao somewhat now, and he still has a bit of a temper. Now that the domineering person is gone, the rest of the Lin family may really change their attitude and send the money calmly, Du Wen Hao might accept it."

The old lady was also very happy, and nodded again and again: "That's right, that's what I've been thinking about these days. If you think it's the same, then go and take your wife to visit first, and we'll wait for you here If this matter is done, we will go to Du Wenhao immediately and try our best to make it happen."

After Su Changsheng agreed, he immediately took his daughter-in-law and went there in a carriage. The old man and the others were waiting in the Changsheng Hall.Not long after, Su Changsheng came back with his daughter-in-law downcast. The old man knew that things were not going well when he saw their faces, so he still asked by chance, "How is it? Did the matter get done?"

Su Changsheng shook his head: "I was kicked out after being scolded by the old lady of the Lin family. He said that since it was to save old lady Lin, the money that old lady Lin promised would let us go to the underworld to find the old lady. He didn't care, the Lin family It doesn't matter either."

The old man couldn't help being stunned for a moment: "Why did Mr. Lin come out of their house again? What's going on?"

"This Mr. Lin is the husband of the head of the Lin family. He was kicked out of the house 20 years ago. Because the old lady of the head of the Lin family is very powerful and has superb martial arts. Mr. Lin's name is Lin Wei. His majestic prestige is really He is very majestic, and his martial arts are good. He looks like a lion. But I heard that he can't beat his wife. His wife is too strong. He left home in a fit of anger, and the Lin family couldn't contact him. Later, the old lady died suddenly , All his sons and grandsons were beheaded. When he got the news, he rushed back to the Lin family and became the head of the Lin family again. This old man has a very bad temper, and he scolded us when he learned about it."

The old man was dumbfounded: "So that's the case. I thought it would be easier to talk with a new group of women. I didn't expect a stubborn old man to come. This is troublesome, and this matter has been ruined."

"Yes, Lin Wei is in charge of the entire Lin family. He was originally the head of the family, but later Mrs. Lin took the position of head of the family and kicked him out. Now the position of head of the family has been restored, and the person in charge has been replaced by him. People, the shopkeepers of the entire Lin family and the major drugstores in Hangzhou are all his people. He is now gradually replacing the shopkeepers of the Lin family business in other major towns and regaining control of the entire Lin family. He also said that he would let the Lin family He rose again and became the head of the four major families. Of course he doesn't see us as a little patriarch, and it's good that we didn't beat us up. Fortunately, we were more tactful and didn't offend him."

The old man was dejected and said: "If this is the case, then what else is there for Du Wenhao to curry favor with us?"

Su Changkong said: "Father, doesn't he still have the raw medicine shop and the original Wu family's house, which is worth a lot of money. We will recognize him if he is transferred to our Su family's name, otherwise we will kick him out." , He has no money and is useless, and he is unwilling to give it to us if he has money, why should he be recognized."

Su Changkong held his breath all the time, and all the grievances he suffered were blamed on Du Wenhao.

Su Changsheng said: "Brother, there are some things you don't understand. In fact, the old house and the raw medicine shop are not Du Wenhao's. We went to the yamen to check."

The old man and the others were stunned, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Su Changsheng said: "To tell you the truth, I have had this idea for a long time. Since he named the pharmacy after my daughter, he should transfer it to Wanrou's name. So I quietly tried to get my daughter to name the drugstore." Wen Qi dug it out and found that Du Wenhao's name was not on it."

"Whose name is that?"

"I don't know, it's a stranger. It should be the guard friend who he said gave this house to him. He has a guard friend, and that guard friend brought us into the Hangwang celebration, but we haven't seen him." been."

"What, this house and herbal medicine shop belong to someone else, not Du Wenhao?"

"No, just to be sure, I went to the yamen to pay a little more money and asked someone to check it. At that time, it was not Du Wenhao who did the transfer, but someone else did the registration. I didn't say who the yamen was. People don't know each other."

"That is to say, this is because the pharmacy and the house have nothing to do with him, Du Wenhao?"

"It's like this. He is purely using tiger skin as a banner and chicken feathers as arrows."

Su Changqi said: "In my opinion, he just wants to use other people's things to pretend to be his, and then deceive us Wanrou."

The old man was furious: "This kid turned out to be a veritable liar. I said a long time ago that this kind of wandering doctor can have something good. Don't listen to it. It's all over now. He has no money and no money, and his granddaughter's innocence is also covered by him." If he is defiled, he won’t even get a cent of the money. Look at what he did, a fool can outperform him. He’s just crazy, his whole head is messed up, and he doesn’t know what he’s doing.”
