Chapter 95 Brother-in-law, the biggest official I've ever seen is your father)
Chapter 95
"My father-in-law, my steward did something wrong and he obeyed my father's orders.
Return these "Xiangzhuji" and also ask my father-in-law to inform Chen Langjun and ask Deng to apologize in person."
The shopkeeper, Uncle Six, glanced at the two of them and then at the boxes that had been opened.
"Without my boss, I can't be the boss."
"Uncle Liu, isn't your boss here these days?" Deng Jiang couldn't help but said anxiously.
The shopkeeper, Uncle Six, glanced at Deng Jiang and said angrily, "Just a quarter of an hour ago, my boss and his brother-in-law went out on business."
"..."
"Then when will they come back?" Deng Ming asked reluctantly.
The shopkeeper, Uncle Six, shook his head with an emotionless look on his face. "How could I possibly know..."
In fact, I know, but why should I tell you? Who knows what evil moths your Deng family is up to, whether they have bad intentions or not.
After all, it was Master Deng Jiang who apologized to the shopkeeper, Uncle Six.
"Okay, my young master and I will go back first. If Mr. Chen comes back later, we will come and visit him again.
In addition, I would like to ask Uncle Six to accept these "Xiang Zhu Ji" first."
"Please do it. It's just that I can't decide on these "Xiang Zhu Ji". I also have to wait for my master to come back."
After saying these few words, the shopkeeper Liu Shu said no more and went straight back to the bookshop, leaving Deng Ming and Deng Jiang looking at each other.
At the same time, Yang Qian and Chen Tai, led by an entourage, arrived at a wine shop only two blocks away from the bookstore.
Standing at the door of the wine shop, Chen Tai felt a little uneasy. Compared to an honest businessman, the county magistrate was really far away from him.
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Yang Qian looked at Chen Tai with an anxious expression, feeling helpless.
Chen Tai said a little embarrassedly.
"I'm just a little nervous, but you also know that the greatest official I've ever seen in your brother-in-law is your father."
Yang Qian saw the entourage of Wang Wei, the prefect of the county, who was leading the way, and considered that the prefect of the county was either a third-grade or a fourth-grade officer.
He turned around and faced his brother-in-law Chen Qin with a serious face. "Don't talk nonsense, my father is the only one."
Chen Tai: "???"
#####
After climbing to the second floor, I saw a strong and powerful man guarding the door of the private room.
The big man first bowed respectfully to Yang Qian and Chen Tai, and then slowly opened the door of the private room.
"My dear nephew, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
The door opened, and Wang Wei, who was holding "The Legend of the Thief" in one hand and a wine cup in the other, turned his head and showed a hearty smile.
Yang Qian bowed to Wang Weiwei respectfully.
"My nephew has met his uncle and originally wanted to find an opportunity to visit again..."
"Why are you so polite to my nephew? Please get up quickly. This is..."
Wang Wei helped Yang Qian up with a smile and his eyes fell on Chen Tai.
"Common people have seen high-ranking officials." Chen Tai, who was a step behind, quickly saluted respectfully to the Xingyang prefect whom he met for the first time.
Yang Qian lost no time in introducing him.
"This is the husband-in-law of Qian's sister. His surname is Chen Mingtai. He runs a bookstore in the county."
Wang Wei quickly helped Chen Tai up. "Good, good, good. He has an extraordinary appearance. You can tell at a glance that he is a kind-hearted person."
Yang Qian nodded and said.
"My sister is only over 10 years old when she comes to the county, and my brother-in-law is low-key and unassuming, so it's normal that no one knows about it."
Wang Weishen nodded in agreement. That's right. Doctor Yang was not well-known before and his position in the court was not outstanding.
If it weren't for Yang Qian, a young talent who suddenly rose to fame and became famous, and his father was promoted to a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court.
I'm afraid that even I won't have time to pay attention to the village bully in a county below Xingyang.
I just didn't expect that Yang Qian would bring too many surprises to me.
Especially during this trip to meet the emperor, I realized that his maternal grandfather was actually the famous Han Qinhu of the Sui Dynasty.
Wang Wei looked at Chen Tai a few more times and couldn't tell. If he wanted to get better friends with Yang and Yang Qian in the future, he would need to start with more people from this person.
"My personal attendant bought this set of "The Legend of the Thief" and I couldn't put it down.
And when I went to buy books, I also learned about some of the grievances between Deng's Bookstore and Chen's Bookstore..."
"Now I know the relationship between my nephew and Chen's Bookstore, so I'd like to invite you to come over today to find out more about it."
Seeing the doubtful looks in Yang Qian and Chen Tai's eyes, Wang Wei smiled helplessly.
"Although I am the governor of Xingyang, I have only been here in Xingyang for half a year.
There are not many old officials in the county that I, the county governor, can command and control..."
Yang Qian nodded suddenly. "I see. Thank you uncle for your concern. In fact, this matter is not complicated..."
Seeing Yang Qian's gaze, Chen Tai was nervous.
But Yuanyuan explained the matter again, took out the seven contracts from his arms and presented them.
Wang Wei took the contract and asked Chen Tai some details of the dispute between the two parties.
When Chen's Bookstore and Deng's Bookstore were fighting, he had heard about it before and didn't pay much attention to it.
But then, word spread that Deng's Bookstore made a crazy purchase of Chen's Bookstore's "The Story of Incense and Candles" and everyone in the streets became aware of it.
Chen's Bookstore's "Incense Candle Chronicles" not only has not been out of stock, but has been continuously supplied.
This attracted Wang Wei's attention, and he sent his personal followers to secretly investigate.
After I got the "Inscription on the Thief", I learned from a personal friend that Yang Qian was in the mansion of Chen Tai, the owner of Chen's Bookshop.
And Chen Tai's wife turned out to be Yang Qian's biological sister.
Wang Wei, a prefect who had been in high and low officialdom for decades, suddenly became very excited. That's why he specially summoned Yang Qian to explain...
After pondering for a long time, Wang Wei placed the contract on the table and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect that the Deng family would be so shameless to do such a thing."
"My dear nephew, to be honest, I have been in Xingyang for only half a year, and I have heard a little about Deng's actions.
It’s just that the Deng family has deep roots in Xingyang, so every government office in Xingyang has members of the Deng family among them.”
"It is my duty to uphold justice for your brother-in-law, but I am afraid that some people may deceive others and interfere with it..."
#####
After hearing this, Yang Qian had no expression on his face, but he was like a mirror in his heart.
Why did this old man send someone to look for him at this time? He was afraid that he saw him fighting with Deng in the ring and wanted to add insult to injury.
"My uncle is willing to lend a helping hand. My nephew is very grateful. If there is anything useful, please tell me directly."
Wang Wei thought about it for a while and said.
"I don't treat you as outsiders, and I'm telling you the truth. Since I arrived in Xingyang for half a year, it has been difficult to govern, and it is difficult to implement government orders."
"It's Deng who is obstructing this. She just wants me to turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to the Anle County Sheriff."
"I wanted to use the Zheng family's help, but the Zheng family...the Zheng family and the Deng family are related by marriage."
The eldest daughter of the Deng family married Zheng Yuanxuan, the eldest daughter of the Zheng family. Today, the general on the right guard of the Sui Dynasty is her concubine and is quite favored by Zheng Yuanxuan.
Now the person in charge of the Zheng family is none other than Zheng Yuanxuan, although he is no longer in Xingyang but serves in Dongdu.
But Mrs. Zheng had to take this person's face into consideration no matter what, so naturally she was too lazy to pay attention to Mr. Deng's actions.
It is precisely because of this that the Deng family will become even more arrogant and domineering.
Brother-in-law Chen Tai's face turned very ugly, and he was about to speak, but when he thought of Yang Qian's previous reminder, he held back.
