Yuzhu did not show off, he said calmly: "Now that things have happened, in the opinion of the students, Mr. Cao can only eliminate the disaster by spending more money and blocking the mouth of the wife of the suffering master."
Cao Yin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, Mr. Yu, you said that Cao was willing to compensate the wife of the suffering master 30,000 taels of silver. However, she once told my housekeeper Lai Da face to face that she didn't want money, but only wanted my second brother.
Pay for your life."
Yuzhu smiled coldly, Lai Da didn't pay attention to the wife of the suffering master at all, and his attitude was unusually arrogant. The wife of the suffering master had to live with the anger after her husband died, how could he let it go?
"To be honest, Mr. Cao, my uncle has adopted the young son of the poor master as his adopted son in order to appease the poor master. He not only raised him until he was eighteen years old, supported him in marrying and having children, but also provided for him to study and take the imperial examination."
This was actually Yuzhu's idea, which was adopted by Qingtai.
Cao Yin understood as soon as he heard this, which meant that such a big deal would always be in the hands of the Tong family.
"Now, the wife of the suffering master has made three demands. First, the second brother must wear sackcloth and mourn for seven or forty-nine days to comfort the suffering master's spirit in heaven."
"It should be so." Cao Yin was afraid that the wife of the host would not ask, so he quickly nodded and agreed.
"Secondly, it is extremely difficult to raise a young son. In addition to canceling old accounts, one hundred thousand taels of silver cannot be lost." Yuzhu did not want Cao Yin to misunderstand, and added, "This money is from your house."
It is given directly to the wife of the suffering owner and has nothing to do with my uncle."
"Okay." Cao Yin gritted his teeth and agreed to the huge compensation.
"Third, if Cao Gong is the bailiff, he will never retaliate against the suffering owner's family."
Seeing Cao Yin's expression of embarrassment and hesitation, Yuzhu said calmly: "The Cao family is powerful, who is not afraid of the family members of the poor master?"
"Okay, I'll write." Cao Yin knew very well that if this matter continued, it might lead to disaster.
Who dares not to bow his head under the eaves?
After Cao Yin readily agreed to the three conditions and wrote the letter of guarantee in his own hand, Yuzhu stood up and left.
"Second Master Yu, please stay. My mother still has a few words of gratitude that she would like to say to you. Please be kind to me." Cao Yin quickly raised his hand, blocked Yu Zhu's way, and sincerely asked him to see Mr. Sun.
Taijun.
Yuzhu smiled and said: "To be honest with Mr. Cao, the students are just paying attention. They will set off to study tomorrow."
The implication is that if he misses today, he will not remember anything.
How can Cao Yin believe it? In this world, are there any Eight Banners dignitaries who help in vain but do not get any benefits?
Yuzhu understood Cao Yin's concerns, but he really had no intention of accepting money from the Cao family.
The Cao family had such a huge deficit and was spending money unscrupulously. Even if they hadn't met Yinzhen who liked to raid homes, they would have been ruined sooner or later.
To put it bluntly, the Cao family’s money is hot to hold.
More importantly, the Cao family were all fooled by lard and stood in the wrong team twice.
Now, Prince Yinreng has not yet fallen, and the Cao family has chosen to support the prince.
After Kangxi deposed the crown prince for the first time, the Cao family made the mistake of supporting the eighth elder brother. Suzhou weaver Li Xu even spent a lot of money to acquire beauties from Jiangnan, secretly dedicating them to Lao Ba, who had never had a son.
When Guo Luo Luo of the Eight Fortune Jin Dynasty found out about this, it caused quite a stir.
In this era of complete lack of human rights, repeatedly standing on the wrong team will have far more terrible consequences than simple corruption!
The Cao family in history, if it hadn't been for the deputy emperor Yunxiang, who secretly helped Zhou Quan, they would have been as miserable as the Suzhou weaver Li Xu.
In the Dream of Red Mansions, after the collapse of the Jia family, the scene where the men, women, and children of the Jia family were publicly auctioned by the government is a true portrayal of Li Xu's unlucky life.
Yuzhu actually didn't have a deep impression of the original work of Dream of Red Mansions. He especially liked Zhi Yanzhai's Zhi Pi.
Thanks to the blessing of Zhiyanzhai, Yuzhu had compassion for the Cao family, and then the big things were reduced to trivial matters, and the trivial matters were turned into trivial matters, so that the Cao family could be spared this misfortune.
Otherwise, with Yuzhu's clever tactics and such a big handle, the Cao family will have to shed several layers of skin even if they don't die.
"Don't worry too much, Mr. Cao. I have no ill intentions towards the Cao family." After Yuzhu said that, he ignored Cao Yin's call and walked out.
Cao Yong, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, was very grateful for Yuzhu's noble hand. He followed Yuzhu's pace and said excitedly: "Thank you brother for your noble hand. I won't talk more nonsense. Let's see the action." p>
Yuzhu glanced at Cao Yong and secretly regretted that the only sensible person in the next generation of the Cao family was a short-lived ghost.
What a shame!
The jade pillar hardened Mrs. Sun's face, and just floated away without taking away half of the clouds.
After returning to the General's Mansion, Yuzhu explained the entire handling process to Qingtai.
Qingtai touched his chin and asked Yuzhu thoughtfully: "You let the Cao family go so easily? What's the reason?"
Yuzhu smiled slightly and explained: "I can't hide anything from you, Eighth Uncle. In fact, if nothing else happens, my nephew will take part in the Spring Festival next year after passing the provincial examination this autumn. Cao Yin holds the secret information in his hand.
Quan, if he said a few words in front of the emperor, my nephew's ranking as a Jinshi would probably look much better."
"Haha, little monkey, you can coax me. Huh, you still refuse to tell the truth? You are probably going for the first Manchu champion in the country, right?" Qingtai twirled his beard and laughed heartily, feeling deeply grateful.
There are successors to the Tong family.
"Very good, even if the Cao family gives you money, it will only be a few hundred thousand taels at best. If I remember correctly, your Ama has been making a lot of money from the family over the years." Qingtai knew that Long Ke
I made a lot of dirty money, and my family background is ridiculously rich.
Yuzhu also smiled and said: "It's just a little money, my nephew is not so shallow-sighted."
"Well, the number one scholar of the Eight Banners of Manchuria has never appeared since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Haha, I am really relieved that you can think so far." Qingtai laughed for a while and asked Yuzhu again, "
Did you meet anyone at the Cao family?"
Yuzhu understood immediately when he heard it. With Qingtai's strength as a local leader in Jiangning, he must have already known about the fourth and thirteenth elder brothers going to Cao's house.
Therefore, Yuzhu told in detail the embarrassing incident of winning a hundred thousand taels of silver in a drinking game with the Thirteenth Brother, and being forced to do a test by the Fourth Brother.
Qingtai's eyes sparkled, he nodded frequently, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Your mother has a relationship with the eldest brother, and I am closer to the fifth brother."
Yuzhu revealed immediately that Qingtai was a member of the fifth master's party and that Longko was a member of the fourth master's party. He hid it so well that he even hid it from his younger brother Qingtai.
In the past, Yuzhu had never been clear about Qingtai's position. Now that Qingtai is willing to tell him such secrets, it is obvious that he can be trusted.
As expected, it is a noble family and will never put all the apples into one basket.
No wonder, after the misfortune of the Longkodo family, the two first-class dukedoms of Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei were not affected, and were inherited by their descendants until the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
