Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 131 The grace of saving lives?

Wu Zhenzhen was reluctant, and finally counted 3000 taels of silver bills to Wu Zhenrou.

The two sisters had a big quarrel, Wu Zhenrou beat Wu Zhenzhen, and scolded her for being a white-eyed wolf, and loved her for nothing when she was a child.After learning about it, Guo was anxious but did not dare to persuade her to fight, for fear that she would have to pay for the elder daughter's problem in the end.

That night Wu Zhenrou left Jinling with someone.After leaving the city gate, I didn't follow the official road back to Hangzhou, but turned into Zhuangzi after walking for a while...

Cheng Fu knew about what happened later. Wu Zhenrou asked her confidant to go back to the city quietly, contacted Guo's confidant who had been taken for her own use, and stole part of Guo's private house and public house without anyone knowing it. Silver, a total of 40 taels.

It's not that Wu Lingzuo and Guo Shi didn't suspect her after the incident, but they can count on five fingers who have been close to these two places in the past few days.And Wu Zhenrou was not in Jinling at that time, and none of the people she brought stayed in the house, so the charge of theft could not be pinned on her.

The most wonderful thing is that after Wu Zhenrou returned to Wen's house, she specially wrote a letter back to Jinling, scolding her parents for not considering her situation and the century-old friendship between Wen and Wu in this matter.He also said that he could not lift his head in Wen's house now because of his mother's family.

Wu Zhenrou didn't dare to tell her parents-in-law the truth about the source of the money, she only said that she had sold part of the dowry and borrowed some from someone else, but her mother-in-law still sprayed blood on her head.She thinks that without discussing with her husband, she discounted the dowry that will be inherited by her children in cash to fill the shortfall of the Wen family.

But after all, after getting the money, Mother Wen's attitude towards her returned to normal after venting, but she didn't tell her that Wen Fang still went to Jinling and asked the Wu family for 6 taels.

The Wu family is really worried about money. The son needs to get money when he goes to Beijing, and the youngest daughter’s dowry is still being added. Every piece of money is spent, and the family has just lost a lot of money. The one who came to make a confession on his own initiative made the corners of Guo's mouth blistered with anxiety.

There are many poor people in the Wu family, but there are also many rich people. Wen and Guo each need 6 taels, plus the 40 taels stolen from the previous family, and each family should add 1000 taels to Wu Zhenzhen's box... Guo Clan didn't want to wait any longer, anyway, as far as the clan was concerned, clan members also belonged to the clan property, clan members were born to support the clan clan.

Under her tossing, the Wu family is in a state of chaos, and every day is a farce.

"Did Wu Lingxiu look for Wu Ying?" The little girl was more concerned about this.

Lin Bang said: "I sent a post to invite the master to the housewarming banquet. I heard that the master is not in Jinling, so I just let it go."

"It's always right to be more vigilant." Who knows what tricks Wu Lingxiu will play behind his back in order to get Wu Ying to support him.

Lin Bang recognized it very much, "Don't worry, we have a sense of proportion."

Gao Sheng's letter arrived at Cheng's house in the evening, but there was still no news from Tweety. Her natal family shed tears every day, and couldn't live longer.Gao Sheng had no choice but to send someone to take care of them, so as not to let them commit suicide.

There are a total of three people who are going to be sent to the Palace of the Prince of Wuding County. One of them is the youngest sister of the Prince of the County. Because she is always unwilling to marry and stay at home, she is disliked by Mrs. Ning.

Gao Sheng said in the letter that Yuntaizi changed the lives of these women, and at the last time he could get a concubine.Cheng Fu laughed, and suddenly wanted to get to know this Yuntaizi.Since he is such a god, how could he be kicked out of Qingliang Mountain, not to mention that he had already figured out that he would have this calamity.

Except for Mr. Dong's matter, it was inconvenient for him to follow up, everything else went well. At the end of the letter, he told her some bad news.Weng Zhaofeng promoted that Aunt Wei as his wife, and was even impeached by the censor for this matter.The emperor did not dismiss him from office, but according to the situation, his future has come to an end, and it is impossible to go any further.

"Crazy." Cheng Fu was so angry that he slapped the letter on the table.

I can't imagine how sad the Weng Qimin siblings will be when they find out.

Dongqiao County

When Xu Ye arrived at the county seat, he found that the situation was different from what he reported. He didn't see the so-called civil unrest, but he was a bit depressed.The common people are not very energetic, looking at outsiders is like looking at a thief who will steal their things at any time, their eyes are full of wariness.

Instead of going directly to the county government, they found an unremarkable inn as a foothold, and then went around in circles in the county.Drink tea and eat, learn about people's livelihood and inquire about the existence of civil disturbances.

After inquiring from different people, the three of Xu Ye learned that Limu Town, [-] miles away, had some disputes recently, but it was far from the scale of civil unrest defined by the court, and Ding Daren was now in Limu Town.

Limu Town is considered to be the most populous area under Dongqiao County, but it looks more depressed than the county seat. You can see a beggar within ten steps of the only official road, and sometimes a family is begging.The two officials who came down with Xu Ye were all surprised, and those who didn't know thought it was a disaster year.

"There are two local forces in Limu Town. One is headed by Wang Xian, and the other is headed by Hua Tonghe. Originally, these two families were at odds with each other, but after the big clan became more and more domineering, the two formed an alliance, and later married frequently. , there are more scholars in the family, but they gradually get rid of the reputation of mud-legged gentry.

The Wang and Hua families were planning to marry again, but the young master of the Hua family was favored by a rich woman, and she wanted to marry him. The Hua family was not kind. He was so anxious that he even co-operated with Miss Lei to trick Miss Wang out and let a beggar rape her.

The Wang family didn't report to the officials, nor did they go to the beggar, but they gagged Miss Wang and buried her alive. Do you think it was miserable?
Everyone thought that the Wang family's loss was for nothing. Hey, Wang Xian is still bloody. On the day of the wedding of Young Master Hua and Miss Lei, Wang Xian personally led someone to rob the groom, beat him to death in public, and buried him next to the daughter of the Wang family. "

The storyteller in the teahouse took two silver tickets from Xu Ye and told them the whole story of the civil unrest without reservation.

The clan culture in a small place is much crueler than that in a big place. Miss Lei did not die at the hands of Wang Xian, but at the hands of her own family.Just because her groom was kidnapped and killed that day and buried with other women, the Lei family felt that she had lost the face of the family, so they sank her into the pond, and they haven't been fished out yet, so I don't know what kind of fish they were bitten by. up.

Since then, the Wang family and the Hua family have been completely torn apart, and the forces of the Limu Town family headed by the Lei family have also been involved.These forces have accidents every day, and the government can't control them at all.Shops were smashed, good fields were destroyed, and there were even cases where entire small villages were destroyed by blowing up mountains.

Xu Ye's expression changed when he heard this. Gunpowder is something that is forbidden by the imperial court. If it is abused, it will be death, and the whole family will be unlucky.The chief culprit was beheaded, and the others could not escape exile for three thousand miles.

"You two immediately go back and report to Master Luo, and ask him to transfer two hundred Jinling Guards to me."

Xu Ye was a little impatient, knowing that Luo Shen would not cooperate well, but now that he is an official, his old man who can defy all rules is not around, so he can only follow the procedure honestly.

Sure enough, three days passed, let alone the Jinling Guard, and the two officials who went back to ask for help did not come back.Xu Ye collected a lot of testimonies in Limu Town by himself, and even rescued Ding Da who was seriously injured and unconscious.

……

Cheng Fu occasionally envied the tea merchants and salt merchants, as long as she kept one line of business, she could preserve the wealth of the family for several generations, unlike her who had to do things here and there to earn some family property.

This time the tea merchants came to Jinling and talked about more than 50 kinds of tea, and both parties were very happy.As soon as the matter was over, the little girl packed her bags and prepared to go to Dongqiao County to find her husband Yazhai.

However, Cheng Han suddenly brought back a chilling news, "The people in Dongqiao County are in chaos, Brother Xu has disappeared."

"...Where did you go missing?"

"Limu Town, he seems to be looking into something." Cheng Han briefly told his sister what he knew about the civil unrest in Limu Town.

The little girl dropped the clothes in her hands, "I'll go to Limu Town right away."

Cheng Han immediately stopped her and said without any objection: "You can't go."

"he……"

Cheng Han held down his impatient sister, "I know you are impatient, but the situation over there is complicated, so it's more appropriate for me to go." Wu Ying is not in Jinling, Lianghexuan, the tavern, and the Cheng family cannot live without so many people Cheng Fu.More importantly, he will not put his sister in danger.

Cheng Fu grabbed his hand, "Won't it be dangerous for you to go?" It makes no difference.

Cheng Han was helpless, "Your brother and I, apart from being unable to beat Xu Liu, we are not necessarily worse than him in other areas."

In the end, these words still made the little girl cry, "Don't go." She was really scared.

Cheng Han hugged her, his precocious younger sister was more like her peers at this time.As long as it has nothing to do with her family, she can be as calm as a lifeless stone.But if anything happens to the people around her, she will collapse at any time.Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to Luoye Ridge to rescue Wu Ying in person, went to Weng's house to beat people, and smashed Wu's house in person.

"I want Luo Shen to die." She said harsh words while sobbing.

Cheng Han wanted to laugh, but it wasn't appropriate at this time, and he didn't want to go out with a scratched face, "He doesn't need you to do anything, he can kill himself." All kinds of behavior are indescribable.

After the little brother and his party left, Cheng Fu shut himself in the study and didn't call for a long time.Xu Ye, little brother and Wu Ying were not here, she really wanted to take care of the family, because the people who watched the Cheng family never stopped.

It was not clear whether Xu Ye's people had passed his news back to Beijing in time. To be on the safe side, Cheng Fu wrote a short letter and sent it to Xu Ze quickly.Immediately afterwards, the letter to Gu Yanya also came on the way, asking him to disclose the situation in Jinling to the crown prince.If the prince doesn't respond, it means that Luo Shen's behavior is his acquiescence, and she will reconsider their cooperation.

At the beginning of November, Cheng Han and Xu Ye didn't return to Jinling, but Cheng Han said that he knew where Xu Ye and Ding Da were, so she didn't have to worry about it. What she had to pay attention to was Luo Shen, who might take action on the Cheng family's property.In fact, Cheng Fu vaguely guessed it, so he kept asking the people below to be more cautious in doing things, and don't let the yamen find any reason to make trouble.

The Cuju match was officially over, and it was a team of scattered players that won the Jinlingwei and Mingjia teams, with Jinlingwei second and Mingjia team third.Because the competition was completely open, no one had any doubts about the results, but there were quite a few who scolded the players for their smelly feet and the whole stroke.

Cheng Fu presented trophies and prizes to the winning teams, and announced that this year's regular season has officially ended, and next year's tournament schedule will be announced after the year, so that everyone can pay attention to the enlightenment of the missing person wall.If you want to participate, you can start team training now.

"Jinling Guards are shameless, soldiers are bullying people." Ming Dai complained as he hugged the trophy to the little girl.

"But I remember that it's not like you haven't won against them, so be generous." Cheng Fu smiled at him.

As soon as the words fell, a group of tall and burly men also came over, "Master Ming is very skilled, do you want to join the army?"

Ming Dai jumped away immediately, like a frightened squirrel, "I don't deserve it."

Cheng Fu didn't feel very happy to see their teams playing around, but she still had to maintain a calm face. She had to thank everyone in Jinlingwei. If they hadn't come to participate, the Cuju competition would not have ended so smoothly.

Although the prefect can mobilize Jinlingwei, it is only limited to the conditions that meet the need for mobilization.On weekdays, Luo Shen was polite to these soldiers and would not easily offend them.

However, the tavern and Lianghexuan were not so comfortable. After he forced the tavern to close the tavern with the excuse of searching for thieves every three days, Cheng Fu simply hung up the sign for renovation and closed the business.Anyway, it was supposed to be refurbished.

The knockout round of the Dahe Theater is over, and the children who were not selected have all gone home with money. The rest will be an intensive training schedule and regular small theater performances before the start of the new round of competition next year.But despite this, Luo Can still found seven or eight projects to limit the Dahe Theater, shortening the time of each performance to half an hour.

Cheng Fu didn't hold back with him, and directly suspended the performance at the Dahe Theater, and asked everyone to wait for the children to appear with a new look.The people of Jinling City are not stupid. The government has troubled the tavern and the small theater one after another. Everyone can guess what happened.They said everything for a while, but they almost all scolded Luo Shen for being selfish.

"Boss, do you want to tell Boss Yan?" Lingo has been busy comforting the children recently, the theater is suspended, and many people are worried that their supporters will change their minds.

"We don't need to mention it, someone will tell him." Yan Hui had just left Jinling, and this kind of thing happened, if he knew it was Luo Shen's tricks, he didn't know what he would think.

Cheng Fu was looking forward to it.

The tavern and small theater were all closed, and Luo Shen turned his attention to Zhuangzi in the outer city.There is the fastest growing and most stable business of Lianghexuan this year. If they want to get Lianghexuan, they have to cut off their source of income first.

Cheng Fu didn't expect Luo Shen to let Lianghexuan's other properties go, she had already prepared, as long as Luo Shen dared to do something, she would dare to let him die on the street.And Luo Shen has completely ignored Cheng Fu, and now he regards Lianghexuan as his Luo family.Just when he was preparing to leave the city with his troops, something happened and the Jing family took action.

In other words, the partners of Lianghexuan put pressure on him together.

These businesses are either backed by aristocratic families, or have been in business for generations.Cutting people's wealth is like killing parents. If Luo Shen dares to seal meat and paper products, they dare to let Luo Shen die quietly.Luo Shen's high emotions faltered in an instant.However, he had a quick mind, and immediately changed his face to reassure the aristocratic family that as long as he got Lianghexuan, the future cooperation would not change.

"Smart fool."

Zhou Jin from Huaiyan Mihang and Ming Hengdao from the Ming family had tea with the Jing family father and son in Jingzhuang. These families had just met Luo Shen.

"That damn girl hasn't said a word yet." Master Jing Er leaned back on the soft chair, his eyes half-opened, he didn't know whether he was thinking about something or listening to the song of the singer outside the curtain.

Zhou Jin took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Oh, it seems that Luo Shen should thank us for saving our lives?"

"Xu Tongzhi went to Limu Town and there is no news so far. A court official disappeared. Luo Shen didn't do anything. He played big enough."

The civil unrest in Limu Town has already spread in Jinling City, but Luo Shen has been suppressing public opinion, and the news delivered by the merchants from Dongqiao County is relatively one-sided. Everyone thinks it is a grudge between local snakes, After a few days of hot discussion, I didn't pay much attention.

"If it's just you coming and going, without involving the good people, the government really can't control anything." If the two families fight privately, the dead are all domestic slaves, and they don't report to the government, so the government can only watch. The slave's life is the master's.

"It's Xu Tongzhi..." Did he get tricked by Luo Shen, or was there really something serious going on in Limu Town?

After failing to take down Lianghexuan and being defeated by the aristocratic family, Luo Shen gradually realized that there seemed to be something wrong with him.But when he heard that the tavern was going to start giving out New Year's gifts, he became angry again, thinking about how to continue to trouble the Cheng family.

"Can't you see a young and beautiful woman with a lot of money?" Cheng Fu sat outside the study with a smile and ate snacks.

Luo Xing stole a piece of bean cake from her plate and threw it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Your life is bad, otherwise why do people always stare at you. Didn't you see him go to trouble the Jing family?" Persimmon was picky Pinch, just bully a ten-year-old girl, a shameless old waste.

Jing Yuanze, who was sitting next to Cheng Fu, almost choked, and glared at Luo Xing, "He just comes."

The little girl clapped her hands suddenly, "That makes sense, Lord Luo, tomorrow morning we will go to Luming Temple to find Monk Jueyuan for fortune-telling."
