Blood from Daming

Chapter 261 Oil Pressing
Seeing that Wang Defa intends to help, shopkeeper Chen repeatedly said that the big family in Hangzhou would benefit him. When Wang Defa saw that he had achieved his goal of extorting rich people in Hangzhou, he asked shopkeeper Chen to wait and went to the backyard to ask the boss Yan Sanniang. In fact, Wang Defa knew that at this time Yan Sanniang should be waking up, it's just that ordinary people who don't have any weight to report to those little girls are putting on airs.

Wang De found out that it was a good thing to report to the mistress Yan Sanniang when he got the news that someone had bribed Shuntian Mansion. The mistress would not blame himself for disturbing her early in the morning. The person who greeted him took Wang Defa directly into the backyard.

When Wang Defa came to the inner room where Yan Sanniang worked, he saw that Uncle Min was already there. Yan Sanniang asked Wang Defa what was the matter, and Wang Defa reported to Yan Sanniang that shopkeeper Chen had come to intercede with people in Hangzhou City. Sanniang, Yan Sanniang pondered for a moment after listening to Wang Defa's words, and then agreed to Wang Defa's meeting with shopkeeper Chen.

After a while, Wang Defa brought shopkeeper Chen to Yan Sanniang's inner room. Yan Sanniang asked shopkeeper Chen to sit down politely. She told Yan Sanniang like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, but Yan Sanniang didn't speak for a long time after listening.

Shopkeeper Chen waited pantingly for Yan Sanniang to speak, but Yan Sanniang kept silent, making Shopkeeper Chen feel that the matter was in serious trouble. For a long time, Yan Sanniang said: "Shopkeeper Chen, you are also my elder, so I think it's because of my sister Chen. On the surface, I want to give you face, but the criminals detained in the Shuntian Mansion's surprise trial last night were confessed to have joined the underground organization of white-clothed scholars, and now the problem has changed very seriously, which is beyond the scope of the arrester's control."

Shopkeeper Chen asked in a trembling voice, "My lord, there is really no hope."

Yan Sanniang said: "The Wu family is doomed, and the other families may not be able to escape, and many people outside may not be able to escape either."

Shopkeeper Chen looked at Yan Sanniang suspiciously but didn't dare to ask. Yan Sanniang waited for a while before saying, "Shopkeeper Chen is also from her natal family, so I'll tell you the truth. The identity of the white-clothed scholar is the former Emperor Jianwen." Not only the descendants of this official, but now Master Pan and Master Xu will not dare to cheat if they know about it."

Shopkeeper Chen heard Lao Ke sweating and said: "Your Excellency, you should try to save the people in Hangzhou Mansion, besides, they are willing to spend a lot of money to atone for their sins."

Yan Sanniang closed her eyes and said for a while: "In the future, I will discuss with Chief Minister Pan and the prefect Xu to see if there is any way to excuse the people of Hangzhou. Shopkeeper Chen can reveal the identity of the white-clothed scholar to you. Man, shopkeeper Chen and Lord Wang can handle this matter according to their discretion, so just pretend that I don't know about it."

Shopkeeper Chen and Wang Defa exited Yan Sanniang's backyard. The two communicated privately for a while. Shopkeeper Chen quickly left Yan's Mansion. Just as he left, he was surrounded by rich businessmen from Hangzhou Mansion who were waiting outside Yan's Mansion. In the teahouse, shopkeeper Chen was pushed up to the private seat on the second floor as soon as he entered the teahouse. Seeing shopkeeper Chen coming, the top figures in Hangzhou immediately drove away all the idlers in the teahouse, and even the owner of the teahouse was invited down. upstairs.

Shopkeeper Chen entered the largest private seat of the tea house, and found that most of the people inside were not the people who came to see him early this morning, but the newcomers were more important, and they were almost the top figures in Hangzhou Prefecture. Shopkeeper Chen was suspicious Looking at everyone, they don't know how to speak.

The reason why these bigwigs came to the teahouse opposite the Yan Mansion was that they had encountered soft nails in the Chief Secretary and the Hangzhou Mansion. The chief envoy, Pan Ruzhen, just closed the door and did not see him. Your Excellency is in charge of Shuntian Mansion, and Mr. Yan of Shuntian Mansion is in charge of arresting the head, so the Chief Secretary really can't intervene in this matter.

Mr. Xu, the prefect of Hangzhou, gave a more direct answer. The people in the Hangzhou government office are doing chores for Shuntian Prefecture. As long as Shuntian Prefecture is easy to talk to, he is the parent official of Hangzhou Prefecture. Waiting for the reverse case, I really dare not mess with it.

Because the chief envoy, Mr. Pan, and the prefect of Hangzhou Xu pushed the person in charge of the case of Mr. Wu to Yan Sanniang, and these two people heard that shopkeeper Chen had gone in for an hour. Presumably, shopkeeper Chen must have seen Shun President Yan of Tianfu arrested the head, and everyone rushed to a small tea house with great hopes.

"Shopkeeper Chen, you saw Mr. Yan arresting her and she said so." This is an old wealthy businessman surnamed Zhang who is questioning. His son and grandson are locked in the prison of Hangzhou Prefecture.

Shopkeeper Chen nodded heavily and said: "I saw it, I saw it. In fact, Mr. Yan's intention of arresting the head was to fix Mr. Wu's family and not to target other people. Sigh, but last night someone confessed to the white-clothed scholar. relationship, now things are getting out of hand.”

Everyone tensed up when they heard Shopkeeper Chen's words, and it was the rich businessman surnamed Zhang who said, "Shopkeeper Chen and the others have nothing to confess, at most it's nothing more than handing over to the gangsters by mistake, send some money to Shuntian Mansion, and you won't be missing." Brother Chen's benefit."

Shopkeeper Chen said with a weeping face, "Mr. Zhang, the younger generation dares to ask for your money. It's really a big event in Hangzhou City."

The rich businessman surnamed Zhang was very upset immediately, picked up his teacup and drank tea, while the businessman from the aristocratic family also chased shopkeeper Chen to ask what happened, shopkeeper Chen looked around hesitantly and said in a low voice: "I heard that King Shuntianfu My lord said that those who were arrested have already confessed and joined the organization of white-clothed scholars, and family raids and family exterminations are probably inevitable."

The rich businessman surnamed Zhang and several other big men sitting next to each other became nervous, and someone said: "Shopkeeper Chen, don't be so brazen, even joining a White Lotus Sect is not a life-threatening thing, as for Jianlu who believes in me Jiangnan How can a child of a family be a barbarian."

Shopkeeper Chen said: "That is, that is, but this is what they joined." Shopkeeper Chen wrote two words on the table with tea, and when the people at the table saw it clearly, he wiped the water on the table with one hand. trace.

"Boom..." The teacup of the rich businessman surnamed Zhang fell on the floor.

Many people in the teahouse panicked, especially the rich businessman surnamed Zhang who was old and almost fainted. After a while of confusion, everyone calmed down a bit. The rich businessman surnamed Zhang asked tremblingly: "Master Chen, the news is true."

Shopkeeper Chen said somewhat proudly: "Of course I'm sure, this white-clothed scholar is the descendant of that person, because the alliance with Jianlu and Bailianjiao in the outskirts of the capital was caught by Shuntian Prefecture, and the white-clothed scholar and Liu Yunzi fled to the south of the Yangtze River , and it was Nurhachi's counselor Fan Wencheng who established the alliance with the captives, the traitor who was hacked to death in the capital not long ago, everyone should know about this."

The celebrities and rich merchants in the entire teahouse broke out in cold sweat when shopkeeper Chen mentioned the traitor Fan Wencheng. Some time ago, I heard that Fan Wencheng, a scum among the students, became the running dog of Jiancap Nurhachi, and was arrested by the court and killed in the capital. Scratch, many people celebrated by composing poems and poems at that time, but they didn't expect that everyone would be implicated in the same case soon after.

The wealthy businessman surnamed Zhang and a few other people are sitting at this table, and some people are already crying loudly. Why are their children and nephews so unbelievable? They live a rich life with their mouths open and their hands stretched out. Why are they rebelling against this death row prisoner, a white-clothed scholar? Well, I'm really full, and now I'm exhausting my family members, alas, what a crime.

The rich businessman surnamed Zhang became angry: "Why are you crying? What time is it now? Let's listen to Brother Chen."

The rich businessman surnamed Zhang held up shopkeeper Chen, and everyone silenced after hearing what the rich businessman surnamed Zhang said. Shopkeeper Chen said: "Mr. Zhang, this matter has been entrusted to someone to watch over it. I will tell you as soon as possible if there is any situation."

The wealthy businessman surnamed Zhang said with some displeasure: "Brother Chen, you and I have been friends for generations. Now that my brother is gone to recite words, you can't play tricks with him like this."

Shopkeeper Chen said with a bitter face: "Mr. Zhang, please don't shout like that, or your seniority will be messed up, and others will think that Wansheng doesn't know what's good and what's wrong."

The wealthy businessman surnamed Zhang said: "Now that such a big incident has happened, you are the only one who has access, my brother. Everyone in Hangzhou City is looking at you. You can't just ignore your death."

Shopkeeper Chen smiled wryly and said: "Mr. Zhang, you really think highly of me. My niece has only entered Xue Yun's house for more than two months. Besides, the case is also a woman from Xue Yun's family. It would be much easier if my niece and aunt came."

The rich businessman surnamed Zhang was not there for a while, the shopkeeper Chen approached the rich businessman surnamed Zhang and said: "Old Zhang, but the attitude of the subordinates of Shuntian Mansion towards Wan Sheng is not bad. Build a bridge for you and talk about how you can meet. "

The eyes of the wealthy businessman surnamed Zhang lit up, and the wealthy businessman surnamed Zhang asked: "Can you make an appointment with this Mr. Wang?"

Shopkeeper Chen apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, this Mr. Wang is not entirely from Shuntian Mansion. He used to be a gangster in the capital. Later, he joined the nephew who was born late and helped the Xue family to take care of the home. Now his job is to take care of the Xue family. The chief arrester is for him, but he is always under my nephew, so he has a very good attitude towards Wansheng."

The wealthy businessman surnamed Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Brother Chen, you should hurry up and ask him out."
