Your daughter's strategy

The eldest lady said: "Have you seen the Zhang family, the reason for the quarrel is because Grandma Zhang is fawning on the wrong person.

Prefect Shen was able to achieve the position of prefect of Hangzhou because of Elder Bai Ge. Prefect Shen’s son-in-law and Elder Bai Ge’s son-in-law are Jinshi in the same discipline, and they are so close. Elder Bai Ge was dismissed for corruption and bribery. Now that he followed the vine, Shen Zhifu would also be in bad luck - he was hand-picked by the old Bai Ge. "

Xu Jinghuan frowned and said, "Is that the old Baige who impeached grandfather to alienate the prince and intend to shake the country?"

The eldest lady nodded. At that time, the father-in-law was only on a proposal to establish a prince, but he was the first to be impeached by the elder Baige, saying that he was alienating the prince and shaking the country. This hat was too big and too general, but Prince Duan just arrested He made a big fuss about this, fished in troubled waters, and sued his father-in-law. Now that Mr. Baige has stepped down, it can be regarded as revenge for the Xu family.

Xu Jinghuan had already warned Dong Zicheng last time. It stands to reason that Dong Zicheng would not be so confused, and if he went to provoke Mr. Shen, he would not be afraid of ten thousand or just in case, so Xu Jinghuan decided to go.

Dong Zicheng was in the study room being scolded bloody by Mr. Dong, when he heard that Xu Jinghuan came, he hurriedly excused himself to go out, when he saw Xu Jinghuan, Dong Zicheng gave a long bow: "Fortunately you told me last time, I didn't go to find Mr. Shen again, Otherwise, there will be a catastrophe."

Seeing that he spoke solemnly, Xu Jinghuan asked, "What happened to the Shen family?"

Dong Zicheng went to the study to meet him, and whispered: "Someone impeached Mr. Baige for taking bribes, but he didn't get much money when he ransacked his house. At this time, some people said that Mr. Baige's money was handed over to Prefect Shen for safekeeping. In a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, with the help of the prefect Shen to do business with the money, the profit will be doubled. Secondly, once the old Baige falls into the water, the money will not be cheaper for others, so the emperor sent Jin Yiwei to search the door, and sure enough. A lot of money was found, but Shen Zhifu said that the money did not belong to Mr. Baige, but was honored by the merchants in Hangzhou. The committee is investigating the origin of the money.

. "

Xu Jinghuan took a sip of tea calmly. If it is normal, officials and businessmen protect each other, and filial piety in private is nothing, but just in time for Mr. Baige, it is said to be corruption and bribery, and more seriously, it is collusion between officials and businessmen. What exactly do you want to do?It must be strictly enforced.

At that time, I am afraid that not only Shen Zhifu, but also those merchants who bribed will be involved. No wonder the Zhang family invited their grandmother to discuss it. The Zhang family is the richest man in Hangzhou, so they are naturally "closely related" to Shen Zhifu.

Xu Jinghuan said: "Does the Dong family have anything to do with it?"

Dong Zicheng took a deep breath: "This kind of money is sent along with the rituals during the festivals. The Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet arrived, so this gift has not been sent out yet. I planned to follow Mr. Shen's path a while ago, and wanted to I wanted to ask Shen Zhifu about the process of the township examination to give me some things, but after you said it, I gave up my idea, huh, luckily I didn't, because my father scolded me just now for this matter."

Xu Jinghuan was a little puzzled: "How come we don't know about such a big news about Jin Yiwei's visit? There hasn't been any news in the past two days."

Dong Zicheng quietly pointed to the outside: "This is what happened in the afternoon. Preemptive strikes have always been the Jinyiwei's style. These are probably done quietly. How about prefect Shen who can sit still and wait for death?"

Xu Jinghuan thought for a while, and said: "At this time, it is better to be quiet than to move. It is best not to do anything. The Zhang family is probably involved. The uncle has not returned home in Suzhou. There must be no one at home. I will go back first. Come find me again." Dong Zicheng was also flustered, and he nodded in response.

When Xu Jinghuan returned home, Mrs. Xu hadn't come back yet. The three girls were all gathered in the eldest wife's room, and their faces were not very good-looking. Xu Peining whispered: "Just now the Jin Yiwei next door came to take Master Zhang and Young Master Zhang away."

Xu Jinghuan frowned: "It's so fast."

Xu Miaoyun lowered her head, apparently frightened. Just now when Jin Yiwei came to arrest someone, she heard the crying of the Zhang family, and Zhang Baoer called her brother loudly.

Xu Jinghuan thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Leave the family affairs to my aunt, I want to go to Zhang's house to have a look."

The eldest lady hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have me at home. Your elder brother was entrusted by the old lady Zhang to go up and down the yamen to manage. There is no man in the Zhang family to support him. You can go and have a look."

The Xu family and the Zhang family have been neighbors for more than ten years, and the relationship between neighbors has long been unusual. At this time, the Zhang family is in trouble, and the Xu family will naturally not stand by.

The entire Zhang family was solemn and solemn, and the guard at the door saw that it was Xu Jinghuan, so he hurriedly led him to the main hall, where all the Zhang family members were present. The old lady was lying on the Arhat bed, and the old lady Xu comforted her in a low voice. Seeing Xu Jinghuan coming in, the old lady Xu said, "You're here? How are things going outside?"

Xu Jinghuan said: "Grandmother, don't worry, I just came back from Dong's house, and there is nothing wrong with Dong's house. I heard from Zicheng that the silver that has always been filial is sent along with the Mid-Autumn Festival. It just so happens that this year's money has not been given in time. How can I just catch it?" Live in the Zhang family?"

Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned red immediately, and she began to curse: "It's all because of that bitch, who secretly gave Mrs. Shen a silver note of 5 taels while I was not at home."

Xu Jinghuan was very astonished, and the first shot was 5 taels. Although this was just a drop in the bucket for the Zhang family, what was Grandma Zhang doing for it?

Zhang Baoer wept softly and said: "My sister-in-law envied that brother Jing Huan was going to take the exam, so she also moved her mind to ask her brother to take part in the exam, so she gave money to Mrs. Shen to buy her brother a reputation as a scholar, and said that after Qiu Wei passed , and send another 10 taels to buy a Juren status for my brother."

Xu Jinghuan was really surprised at this moment, if it is just to give gifts to the government, it is justified, buying and selling fame is a serious crime, and it is not an exaggeration to ransack the family and ask for execution. I am afraid that this test of the Zhang family is very sad.

Xu Jinghuan pondered and said: "We can only wait for the elder brother to come back and see what's going on at the Yamen before making a decision."

Mrs. Zhang seems to have aged ten years suddenly, she stretched out her hand tremblingly and said, "My good boy, if you can save the two of them, I will help you..."

Xu Jinghuan hurriedly said: "The old lady's words are serious. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. With the friendship between our two families, I will naturally do my best to help. It's just that this matter involves a lot. The big fish fighting above, we little shrimps It’s dangerous to say it’s dangerous, but it doesn’t matter in the end, as long as we deal with it properly, we will naturally be able to survive the cracks and save the day.”

The old lady Xu also comforted: "The more you are at this time, the more you have to keep your spirits up, and you have someone to make up your mind about anything."

The old lady Zhang closed her eyes, then struggled to get up, and told the housekeeper at the side: "Go to the warehouse to get 2 taels of silver. If there is anything to do, we can't ask others to contribute and pay." The housekeeper hurriedly agreed. up.

Just as he was talking, Xu Runan came in from the outside with a livid face. Mrs. Zhang asked anxiously: "How is it?" Mrs. Zhang also showed a hopeful expression.

Xu Run'an shook his head: "He has already been imprisoned, and now the prefect Shen is also in prison. Jin Yiwei is in charge of the yamen, but the original yamen servants are still dispatched. I entrust someone to take care of it. I think Zhang Shibo and Brother Zhang will not eat it." What kind of trouble, I also found out the origins of those Jinyiwei. The leader was Master Yang, the commander of the Jinyiwei. He brought a total of twelve people here. The Li family, Wang family, and Peng family in the east are all taking care of it, and their masters have also been arrested, and the group of Jinyiwei has made a fortune."

The Li family, Wang family, and Peng family are all well-known wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou City.

Mrs. Zhang had great hopes, but at this time her body softened and she almost fell down. Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Baoer were already crying. Mrs. Xu said: "Then you can find out who Mr. Yang is from?"

Xu Run'an said: "Master Yang's full name is Yang Minzhi. He is the son of Yunguo's family in the capital. He was promoted to command at only 22 years old. I heard that he is very strict."

"Master, master, it's not good, someone has gone to our house."

Xu Run'an's servant Nansong shouted outside, Mrs. Xu and Xu Run'an's and Xu Jinghuan's expressions changed drastically, and they hurried out the door. In this courtyard, people from Xu's family could be seen lighting lanterns, and many people gathered.

Mrs. Xu’s feet softened, and she helped Xu Jinghuan out of Zhang’s house in a hurry. In front of Xu’s house stood two brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and carrying embroidered spring knives. , dare to ask what advice you can give me when you come to the door late at night."

Surprisingly, Jin Yiwei was extra polite: "Don't dare, it's our lord who came to visit Xu Ge's old family."

Although the old lady Xu was surprised, she breathed a sigh of relief, thanked her, and then went in, and just entered the front hall when she heard the voice of the eldest lady: "...the master and the old lady are not at home, I can't make decisions as a woman , please wait a moment, sir."

Although the eldest lady's voice was calm, the old lady could still hear a trill. The old lady Xu hurried in with her two grandchildren, but she saw a young man wearing a fourth-rank official uniform sitting on the head, with a face like a crown jade. , The temples are cut like a knife, not angry and prestige.

The eldest lady was sitting beside her, but she was uneasy. When she saw the old lady, she hurried up to greet her: "Old lady, Mr. Yang came to visit specially."
