Chapter 197 The grandfather is angry, the powerful minister Zhu Zhuo
Chapter 197: The Duke is furious and the powerful minister Zhu Zhuo
As the words came out, a man who looked like a young boy quickly got up and ran towards the hall. In the hall, the ground was full of messy debris. On the only chair, there was a man who looked to be in his fifties sitting. , a man in purple clothes with a broad body.
"Tell me, who robbed my house!" The man asked Su Liu with a gloomy face.
Su Liu nodded a few times, and then said cautiously: "Sir, according to the documents, this person's name is Shen Tang, and I don't know where he comes from. However, he is extremely young, about twenty years old, and he has a very beautiful wife. Presumably, the rich family came from somewhere and didn't know the majesty of the master, so they offended the master. Why don't I go and warn them tomorrow to let them know the benefits and risks involved? Isn't this house still in the master's pocket? "
"You mean, he's just a rich man?" Gao Bing said with a cold face.
Su Liuqian smiled and said: "Master, based on the brand name of our Changguo Duke's Mansion, not to mention this Lin'an City, even in the whole Jiangnan, who dares to refute the master's face? If it is not a rich man who doesn't know where he came from, I really can't think of anyone. Who dares to reach out to the house that the master likes? Isn't he afraid that the master will chop off his claws? "
The compliments from the boy made the anger on Gao Bian's face a little less.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you tomorrow. You know what to do, please satisfy me."
"Don't worry, Master..." The young man nodded, "Let the rich man give up this house and pay the Master some money as compensation. If you obey, that's it. If you are not convinced, I can find an excuse to throw the man into the Shen Hall. After being imprisoned and suffering some hardships, you will surely recognize the reality."
"Well! Go ahead!"
It’s just a local rich man, what kind of shrewd calculations are needed? If you use the brand of Guogongfu to smash it, you will definitely be smashed to the ground!
On the second day, Shen Tang found a car and brought Lu You and his wife's belongings from the south of the city. Apart from some books, Lu You and his wife had very few belongings, and their entourage only included Tang Wan's dowry maid.
Originally, Shen Tang wanted Lu You to find a courtyard in the main house, but after a tour, Lu You chose Liu Cui Pavilion in the northwest corner for help!
After cleaning up, Lu You and his wife settled in the house, and Shen Tang returned to the main room. However, a guard came over.
"Sir, there is a person at the door who claims to be the steward of Changguo Duke's Mansion. He comes with a few young men and wants to see the master." This guard is named Qian Hong, and he is the chief of the dozen or so sergeants who follow Shen Tang.
Shen Tang narrowed his eyes. The Duke's mansion was not very generous. Just one day later, trouble came to his door.
"Let's go and have a look!"
The two of them walked forward and arrived at the gate. They saw several guards blocking the door. Outside the door, there was a man in green wearing a hat leading a group of servants to show off their power.
"Are you that Shen Tang?" The person who came was naturally Su Liu.
Shen Tang nodded, "I wonder why you came to my mansion?"
"Hehe!" Su Liu sneered, "Your mansion? It seems that you are deliberately pretending to be confused with me?"
"Where do you start talking about this?" Shen Tang said calmly, "I bought this mansion from Yaxing, and the government has also been naturalized. Why is it not my mansion? How can I pretend to be confused?"
Su Liu was stunned by Shen Tang's words. Theoretically speaking, this house does now belong to Shen Tang.
"Hmph, don't you know that this house is the one that my master Chang Guogong has taken a liking to?" Su Liu said fiercely.
Shen Tang chuckled softly, "This is strange. It's not surprising that the Duke of Guo has taken a liking to this house. However, as far as I know, this house has been on the market for more than a month, but no one has bought it, and the price is also low. "Incomparable, why doesn't the Duke's government buy it? Is it possible that the Duke of Guo can't even get 20,000 taels?"
Su Liu stared at Yan, and he suddenly realized that it was reasonable for his master to hate literati. Could he have gone crazy because of his loss? Do you still want to reason with this person? From the Duke's house to the servant, When will the sermon be given?
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me, will you give up the house today?"
Shen Tang shook his head and said, "I just bought it, and the house is what I want, so there is no reason to give up."
"Okay, you have the guts! It seems that you are deliberately making things difficult for our government. In this case, don't blame me for being rude!" Su Liu said fiercely, and then said to the people behind him: "Get in." , I will ask you for a reward when you go back!"
When all the boys heard this, they screamed and rushed towards the door.
Shen Tang sighed helplessly, this is what the Duke of Guo is capable of? It really surprised him.
"Qian Hong, throw these people out, don't dirty our house!" He ordered Qian Hong beside him, Shen Tang didn't even bother to pay attention to the boy, and just turned around and left.
As a result, it goes without saying that these young men in the Duke's Mansion are really good at bullying ordinary people, but facing Qian Hong and other iron-blooded soldiers, it's like an egg against a stone. It would be weird if they don't get a bloody blow. .
"If we can't use force, the next step is to become an official!" Shen Tang said to himself, but he didn't care and Shi Shiran returned to the house.
About a thousand steps west of the Duke of Chang's Mansion, there is a very small courtyard with the word "Zhu Mansion" written on it. In this place where the nobles of Lin'an City are mixed, there are not many mansions similar to the Duke's Mansion. There are not many such small houses. However, although this house is small, no one dares to be presumptuous in front of this house. Even an overlord like Chang Guogong is three points shorter in front of this house. The reason is precisely because the person living in this house is named Zhu Zhuo and Zhu Hanzhang.
Compared with other nobles, the Zhu family can be said to be a truly wealthy family. Zhu Zhuo's ancestor Zhu Jingze was the prime minister during the Tang, Wu and Zhou dynasties. Zhu Jingze's direct grandson later also served as the Minister of Transfer Affairs. When Zhu Zhuo was born as a Jinshi, He entered the officialdom as a chief official and went through ups and downs for nearly forty years. Finally, three years ago, he was appointed by Emperor Gaozong Zhaogou to participate in political affairs. Soon after, he was promoted to Zuotong as a senior official, appointed as Shangshu's right servant, She Tongpingzhangshi, and was granted the title of Duke of Kaiguo. .It can be regarded as inheriting the glory of the ancestors and once again reaching the pinnacle of officialdom.
However, a few days before Xiaozong and Zhao Shen came to the throne, Zhu Zhuo resigned and Zhao Shen registered. As for whether there is any connection between them, no one knows.
Although his Duke's palace is small, in terms of power, position and strength, it is naturally far superior to that of the high-ranking Duke Chang.
There were only three entrances in the house, and apart from a few servants and servants, there was only one old servant who had followed Zhu Zhuo for many years. It is hard to imagine that this was the powerful prime minister of the Song Dynasty before Zhang Jun.
