Blood from Daming

Chapter 47
Gu Zhengnan, the owner of "Gu Family Garden", was arrested by Dongchang for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason.

Mr. Yin of Shuntian Prefecture decided that Zhang Shanfu's case of Xue's escape from slavery was a family rule, and refused to accept the case.

Xue Yun was overjoyed, took thousands of taels of silver confiscated by Zhang Shanfu, and rewarded Baishengtang, Dongchang fanzi, Shuntian government officials, city guards and officials who came to help boxing, and then ordered his family to bring Zhang Shanfu and a group of eight people back. go to the government.

The grandfather Xue Rui in front of Xue's mansion was looking forward to Xue Yun's return. When Zhang Shanfu and his gang were escorted in front of him, Xue Rui blushed and stared at Zhang Shanfu for a long time with a pinching look.

Xue Yun accompanied Xue Rui, who was slowly calming down, to the newly bought yard next door. The seller had been waiting there for a long time. connection.

In the newly purchased yard, there were only seven servants left in the end, three senior women, two young girls, two young maids, and none of the men remained. This is exactly what Xue Yun hoped. Yes, he wants to have servants who are loyal to him.

The grandfather left, and the seller also left. Xue Yun looked at the seven people in front of him. The three elders were all people with no way out, and the two young maids were both under 20 years old. A person who is plainly dressed but has a detached temperament and good looks is by no means an ordinary servant.

Xue Yun temporarily appointed the young servant girl to be in charge, leaving this otherworldly woman alone, and everyone retreated. Seeing that the other party had no mouth, the woman stood there with a calm and graceful demeanor.

After a long time, Xue Yun said to the woman: "Girl sees that you are different from others, please tell the truth, otherwise Xiaosheng really dare not keep the girl."

That girl revealed her own life experience: her surname is Chen, she is the niece of the seller's family, her father was a Jinshi during the Wanli period, and she was a clean and honest official, so her official career was shady. The uncle's family, the girl was resigned by the husband because of her family's downfall, and her mother passed away after a while, and the rest lived in the uncle's house. Now the uncle's family is also in trouble. The son is willing to lend a helping hand. The little girl is unknown The body is suffering and there is no way out, if the young master does not give up his willingness to serve the young master for life as a slave and servant.

After Xue Yun heard it, hey, the ancient times are so wonderful, these women are so corrupt that they always give themselves to each other.Xue Yun pretended to be serious and said: "Miss is originally an official, Xiaosheng is also an official of the court after all, the so-called officials will take care of all the officials, and Miss will take care of everything in the future, but it is up to the lady to decide. If she is willing to stay here, she will not dare to stay here." If you treat Miss slowly, you must treat Miss with courtesy to make Miss willing."

Xue Yun talked to Ms. Chen a few more words before leaving the room, asked the eldest girl surnamed Wang to question her for a while, praised her a few words, and finally ordered her to send the two little maids to serve Ms. Chen, and to the housekeeper Wang. I left 200 taels of silver for daily expenses.

When Xue Yun returned home, he went straight to a small dark room at the second gate, where Zhang Shanfu was locked up. When Zhang Shanfu saw Xue Yun coming in, he began to scold Li Xiaoyong and slapped him. Zhang Shanfu became more honest, but he still kept his mouth open. He was muttering non-stop.

Xue Yun asked Li Xiaoyong to call the accountant An, Xue Yun asked the accountant An to arrange a few people who were proficient in writing and ink to take turns to record, and Li Xiaoyong was in charge of interrogating Zhang Shanfu and the other eight people, saying: "Xiaoyong, you use a method to pry their mouths open to find out the crime. Based on the stolen money and the whereabouts of the stolen money, other accomplices. Be careful not to make confessions, commit suicide, prevent outsiders from tipping off, rescue, assassinate, etc."

Xue Yun came to his grandfather's yard, the weather was already very hot, Xue Rui enjoyed the coolness with Xue Yun under the big tree in the yard, caught Zhang Shanfu, Xue Rui was in a good mood, and talked more, Xue Yun ate while listening Snacks sent by Shi Ji.

Xue Rui said: "For your concubine in Zhuangzi, let that woman sit in the country. Now that you are engaged, you should pay attention to the impact. Your future wife is ready to come back from Datong, and she will arrive in a few days." Beijing."

Xue Yun: "Didn't Grandpa say that we have to wait and see before we decide? It's not considered engaged now."

Xue Rui: "My family's Yun'er is highly skilled in martial arts, and if he is outstanding, he will be looked down upon. It's just the luck of his Yu family."

Xue Yun: "Grandpa, I mean I don't necessarily have a crush on any woman."

Xue Rui: "You can't let yourself be the main wife. You can choose other women as you like."

Yang Zhenlei brought in the gold and silver confiscated from Zhang Shanfu, about 6 silver. Xue Rui looked at it and asked, "What to do with the money." Xue Yun expressed his thoughts.

Xue Rui made a decision: buy the grain store facing the street, add [-] silver to the working capital of "Sanjiang Huitong", make up [-] silver from "Xueji Silk Cloth", and invest [-] silver to renovate the "Xinghua Restaurant" to double the area. Separate private rooms are set up, and family banquet-style high-end private private rooms are arranged in the backyard.In the end, Xue Rui called the old housekeeper Mao to arrange manpower to renovate Xue Yun's yard. The money was paid by Xue Rui, and the old housekeeper Mao also received five thousand silver for daily expenses.

Xue Rui asked Xue Yun to pick a few people to listen to. After thinking about it, Xue Yun first sent Lou Si, one of his two family members, to watch the yard, and let the other people think about it later.

The case of Gu Zhengnan, the head of the ceremonial department of the "Gu Family Garden", made the well-known civil official group dumb for a moment because of the case of collaborating with the enemy country. Most of the Jiangnan aristocratic family and the Donglin party members who had made good friends with Gu Zhengnan were on the sidelines, joking about collaborating with the enemy country, plotting to treason and destroy The capital crime of the Nine Clans, anyone who has nothing to do will take rat poison to seek death.

There were just a few people who didn't know how to live or die running around calling for Gu Zhengnan, the number of people was small and they had little influence. A few days later, troubles caused by this case continued to appear. Officials and businessmen who were closely related to Gu Zhengnan were arrested by Dongchang one after another, which caused a lot of trouble between the DPRK and China. The minister rebounded and played the emperor's impeachment on major events. The emperor was impeached.

Xue Yun has been very low-key these days. His predecessors used 500 taels to buy Linjie Rice Shop. Mr. Zhang Zilin Zhang also officially became the shopkeeper of "Wu Ji Mi Shop". Xue Yun gave 5000 taels of starting capital.

At the same time, a rice shop near Chongwenmen also changed owners. The shop was opened and named "Huimin Grain Store" and officially opened. The name is the same as that of "Hui Min Grain Store". By.

Zhang Shanfu was very stubborn and did not utter a single useful word within three days. The other seven people, his wife, concubine, two children, two men and one woman, and three servants, explained everything. , but Li Xiaoyong and An Accountant were powerless in the face of hob meat like Zhang Shanfu.

Xue Yun probably understood Zhang Shanfu's situation after reading the confessions of the seven people: Zhang Shanfu was fond of gambling, which was probably the cause of his craziness and extortion of the Xue family, and Zhang Shanfu's rights were not restricted, which is the root cause of today's disease. This is all that is left after squandering in the past year, and there are only a few hundred acres of land in my hometown in Henan.

Xue Yun called Li Xiaoyong and Accountant An: "You hurry up and ask about Zhang Shanfu and my Xue family, but you can't let him die."

Both Li Xiaoyong and Accountant An said that Zhang Shanfu was not afraid if his hands were too light, but he was afraid of killing Zhang Shanfu if his hands were too heavy. The two felt in a dilemma.

Xue Yun said: "I'm ready, let's do it on a ten-day cycle, start with 'pepper water', 'tiger stool', 'flattery', 'cover paper', 'hemp coat', 'ten thousand ants' Heart''dog belly into water''sheep butt blowing'''''''."

Li Xiaoyong and An Zhangfang's expressions changed several times, and An Zhangfang was even more miserable. Xue Yun said: "If you can do it, just tell me if you can." The two said repeatedly.

After Xue Yun explained the relevant content of various criminal laws to the two, Xue Yun said that in order to prevent the erroneous progress in the future, inside the Xue Mansion, Xue Zhuang, "Xue Ji Silk Cloth", "Sanjiang Huitong", "Xinghua Restaurant" and "Wu Ji Rice Shop" , "Huimin Grain Store", some personnel in Xiaoxue's Mansion took turns to watch the execution.

Li Xiaoyong and An Accountant were speechless. They couldn't imagine how cruel the young master was, especially An Accountant didn't pay enough attention to Xue Yun, a bastard. Now thinking about it, he broke out in cold sweat.

During this period, Xue Yun went to Xue Zhuang once. Of course, it was both public and private, and brought Wu Hui a lot of jewelry, jade, silk and other supplies.Xue Si recruited nearly a hundred disaster victims to work. Xue Yun thought that it was almost time to digest it. Too many people from outside would change the personnel structure of Xuezhuang.

The news of Xue Er has also come back. The cavalry is full and is training the infantry. More than 300 people have been collected. There are many people from all over the world to join the army. If it is not for the high requirements that the young master proposed at the time, it is not a problem to recruit a thousand soldiers, but 500 people It won't be long before they're all recruited.
