Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 83: You Mob (8)
Followed this and that?Chen Changzhi thought to himself: Is this woman really like this?But when I looked at her, why didn't she have any interest in me?How many benefits does she want after following me!
Thinking of this, he thought of Xu Che again, and asked, "By the way, there is a guy with squinting eyebrows beside her, do you know who it is?"

Liang Youde knew Xu Che he was asking as soon as he heard it, and said: "Hey, the guy I just said dared to kill is that guy, and Chen Xianglai bought it in Songning City. It is said that he is a deserter and an official. They spared his life and sold them to others, Chen Xianglai let the others go, just follow him to death, probably got the benefit from that girl!"

"Deserts! What did I say..."

Chen Changzhi also knew about the sale of deserters by the passing army the winter before last, but he was not familiar with the army, so he couldn't get along with them at all, and he didn't pay much attention to this trivial matter.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "You said that Chen Xianglai has followed many men, who are they?"

Liang Youde said: "The one who went to her first is said to be a grocery store owner in this county, and the one who bought her rice later was a rich owner. It is said that he was the young owner of Longsheng Bank. Daozi, and that kid would go to Chen Xianglai’s house to live for a few days every summer, hehe, he probably used Chen Xianglai as an outhouse..."

"Longsheng Bank?"

Chen Changzhi turned around and asked Master Qi, "Who opened the Longsheng Bank?"

Master Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know, I have taken people there a few times, but their background is so hard, it is said that it belongs to an official's family in Huikang Mansion, we can't even collect taxes, let alone meet the owner! "

Chen Changzhi tugged at the mustache at the corner of his mouth, pondered and said, "I mean, Chen Xiang is so confident in me, so it turned out to be on the stage! Hiss... It seems that she really has to take care of things, come on!" No, she really dares to make a big fuss!"

Liang Youde was startled when he heard this, and said: "What? That girl actually made trouble with the adults?!"

Chen Changzhi said subconsciously: "No, she brought that..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that he didn't need to talk to Xiaoli, so he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go, go, it's none of your business, I've finished asking you, go back! "

"Hey, hey..." Liang Youde nodded blankly, and called himself here from a long distance in his heart. He didn't give him a sip of water or a penny of money. After asking a few words, he was sent back?It's really impossible for people to see such an official!

Although full of resentment, he still politely resigned, left the yamen and went back to the village.

After Liang Youde left, Chen Changzhi was still talking to Mr. Qi, annoyed: "You said this country girl, how can she have such great skills, she can hook up with anyone, master, I have been the county magistrate in Songning County for several years, even that The owner of Longsheng Bank can't even see her, she can have his son on her shoulders, it's really evil of his grandma!"

Master Qi also said: "Yes, you said how she can still grow rice, you have never heard of such a thing!"

Chen Changzhi said: "Who knows, master, I don't know about farming, but if the gold mine is not done well, there will be trouble... No, I have to write a letter to Xu Zongde, and you will find someone to deliver it immediately." Huikang will go!"

As he spoke, he walked to the table, and Master Qi hurriedly followed to help him study ink.

Mr. Xu Zongde in Huikang Mansion is the No. [-] person. He started to do business in his father's generation. In his generation, he became the richest man in Huikang. His name includes cloth shop, rice shop, money shop, carriage and horse shop, grocery shop... Not only are they all over Huikang Mansion, but they are almost all over several counties under the jurisdiction of Huikang Mansion.

The family business has grown to a certain level, not only is it not busy, but it is free, and competent people are dispatched to every place, and Mr. Xu can just sit at home and collect the money.

That day, he was in the study room listening to some stewards reporting accounts, but he heard that someone came to report, saying that someone from Songning County had come.

Xu Zongde asked: "But they came to give gold? Didn't they say that they can come to see me directly when they come back!"

The servant said: "No, it belongs to the Songning County Yamen."

"Songning County Yamen?" Xu Zongde thought to himself, the money that should be given to Chen Changzhi was sent to Chen Changzhi on time every year, why did he call someone to come if he had nothing to do, could it be that he wanted to increase the price again?

As for the killing of people in the gold mine, he heard Chen Changzhi mention it once two years ago, but he forgot it all in the blink of an eye, thinking that Chen Changzhi had already dealt with it.

Thinking of this, he sent a few managers down, and told the servant, "Go, bring the people here."

The servant turned around and went out, and soon brought in the horse that Chen Changzhi had sent to deliver the letter.

This person's surname is Yang and his name is Erxi. When he came in, he gave Xu Zongde a bow and said, "Master Xu, my master asked the villain to send you a letter."

Xu Zongde is fat, and his palms are thicker than others.He stretched out his fat hand and said, "Bring it to me."

Yang Erxi took out the letter from his bosom, squeezed it with both hands and handed it over.

Xu Zongde opened the letter and read it from the beginning to the end. He was so angry that he slapped the letter on the table again, and said angrily: "Your master is really becoming more and more useless, but you are dead. You have not solved it after so long, and now you are in trouble. Robbing my farm, trying to kill my miners! Really, really pissed me off!"

Yang Erxi stood there in a daze, he didn't know what happened between Chen Changzhi and Xu Zongde, he didn't dare to say anything even when he was scolding his master.

Xu Zongde got angry for a while and picked up the letter to read again, muttering: "Chen Xianglai! A teenage yellow-haired girl, no matter how hard she is, she can figure out what tricks she can do, but she knows someone who runs a bank and dares to challenge me!"

As he spoke, he went to the side and wrote a reply letter to Yang Erxi, saying: "Go, take it back to your master, and tell him it's no big deal, don't make a fuss at every turn."

Yang Erxi nodded and bowed, took the letter and turned to go out.

After he went out, Xu Zongde thought for a while and called Wang Zhong, the steward who was in charge of the business in Songning County, and asked, "Boss Wang, what is the income of our farm in Songning?"

Wang Zhongdao: "Growing grain is time-consuming, labor-intensive and labor-intensive. On the surface, it doesn't look like much. It only earns tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, but now the grain of Hengyuan Farm is used for many rice shops in our counties. Then go everywhere to collect grain, and if we do the math, we will save a lot.”

Xu Zongde nodded, and said: "Well, it's very important, hmph! That Chen Xianglai dared to have sweet dreams too, how could I praise her for taking such a cheap price..."

Wang Zhong didn't know what he was talking about, and stood there with a puzzled expression on his face.

Besides, Chen Changzhi from the Songning County Yamen got angry after reading the letter, and worried while holding the letter, saying: "This Xu Zongde, what do you think! Let me send a hundred taels of silver! He came to me This throw is 1000 taels, 200 taels, isn't this a waste of people? I don't think this old thing knows how powerful it is unless it makes things big!"
