Today I finally got to see what my husband is capable of! It was really eye-opening to be able to pull money out of that little fat man.
Jiang Nan was very happy all the way home. Thinking about his husband's great achievements, he felt like there were mountains of gold and silver before his eyes.
When they got home, the maid Xiao Cui stumbled up and said that Madam was crying sadly and there was nothing she could do to comfort her.
After hearing this, Jiang Nan went to his mother's house. Soon, the song "A Thirty-Year-Old Woman" came out, and after a few words, the room became quiet.
…
Besides, Xia Shang, how could he be unhappy after accepting a hundred taels of gold for no reason? It was expected that the fat man would agree to his terms in two days.
The little fat man is not an idiot. He knows the stakes. If he wants to make money, he will definitely agree, because it is better to gain than to lose.
Now that a hundred taels of gold have been invested, he must grit his teeth and do this hard work.
What I have to do now is to quickly write out the follow-up content, first accumulate a start-up capital, and then find another way.
Now that the city of Yangzhou has stabilized, we will develop towards Suzhou. Then we can naturally go to Shangguanchan.
Having conceived a good blueprint, Xia Shang felt that the future was bright.
But when he returned home, he saw a group of officers and soldiers surrounding the door, and his wife was holding a sword on the arrester's neck. The atmosphere was extremely tense!
Xia Shang was frightened when he saw it. If Madam's sword fell, there would definitely be a large number of waves.
Xia Shang has no ability to challenge the imperial court now! No matter what, they cannot directly conflict with the imperial court.
"Everyone stop it!"
Xia Shang shouted and rushed into the crowd, backed away from several ragged police officers, came to Qin Huairou, and snatched the sword from her hand.
The head catcher then breathed a sigh of relief. His legs were shaking with fear and he stepped back repeatedly. He was supported and comforted by several of his men.
How come the police are here when the family is so good?
Could it be that the Dong Chuang incident happened and it was found out that Lu Xun's death was related to him?
Xia Shang was unsure and asked loudly: "I have something to say, but what happened?"
"Ms. sir! They are going to take you!"
After catching his breath, the policeman was gnashing his teeth in anger. He was the policeman of Tangtang County, but a woman held a sword on his neck in front of his men! He was humiliated and sent to his grandma's house.
"You are such a shrew, how dare you attempt to murder an official of the imperial court!"
"Thank you for being a ninth-grade boy! You dare to shout in front of me! You don't even ask me who I am! I am Qin Shigong's granddaughter Qin Huairou. When my grandfather was fighting against the emperor Taizu, you didn't know where you were trying to survive.
! Do you dare to shout and try? Believe it or not, even if you call your county magistrate, you won’t be able to keep your hat!"
Qin Huairou was tall, and when he shouted angrily, the headman trembled in fright.
She turned out to be the granddaughter of General Lao Qin!
Although she is a married daughter, the Qin family is no longer what it used to be.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so who would dare to offend a small county town chief?
And there is an order from above that the owner of this house must be taken back...
When Xia Shang saw his wife playing dirty tricks, he quickly turned white and said, "This official is a bitch and has a fierce temper. Don't blame me. Tell me what's going on."
The word "official" was a step forward for the catcher. The catcher's face was expressionless, but he recognized Xia Shang's affection in his heart and said in a low voice: "You are the young master of the Xia family of the Xia family winery, right?"
"Exactly."
"Previously, your Xia family was evading taxes, and the magistrate personally sentenced you to confiscate all the family's property. But just a few days after you moved to Yulin County, you spent a lot of money buying things and building courtyards! The money has never been spent.
Where did it come from? The county magistrate felt that you had hidden your family property secretly and did not turn it all over to the court, so he came here to investigate."
Xia Shang smiled: "Oh, so that's what happened. These silver coins were earned by Xia through other channels after coming to Yulin County. The money earned after the house was confiscated should not be turned over, right?"
"The county magistrate has said that he will wait for you to see the Yamen first, and we will discuss the rest later."
When Qin Huairou heard this, his eyes widened: "Ms. sir! These people are so cruel. We finally had some hope in coming to Yulin County, but they are here to bully our family again! Isn't it enough that my father-in-law and mother-in-law were forced to death? Don't stop me.
, I will kill two police officers today, but I want to see what the county magistrate or prefect can do to me!"
The policemen in front of me said they were working for the imperial court, but they were also poor people at the lowest level.
In a county, if the county magistrate is unable to do his job, the people under his command will live miserable lives and cannot even wear decent official uniforms.
If one or two policemen were really killed here, and if word reached the higher authorities that it was General Qin's granddaughter who did it, no one would pay any attention to it.
As soon as Qin Huairou's words came out, five or six policemen took two steps back, breaking into cold sweats.
Someone tugged at the hem of the catcher's clothes: "Boss, it's better to go. Go back and see what the adults say?"
The catcher gritted his teeth and was sweating profusely. He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "My lord already told me when I came here that I must take the young master of the Xia family back no matter what. How can I do business after leaving like this?"
Just when a group of people were in a dilemma, Xia Shang said: "Don't be nervous, I will go with you and explain it clearly to the county magistrate."
"Ms. sir, what are you doing there?"
"Madam, I have my own sense of discretion!"
"Then I'll go with my husband!"
"No need, our county magistrate of Yulin County is fair and honest, how can he still give in to a trick?"
When the detectives heard this, they repeatedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, we adults are just asking questions. As long as the source of the money can be explained and it is true that it is not a secret, we will send Master Xia back respectfully."
Qin Huairou was still worried and felt that this matter was strange.
Xia Shang tried to comfort her before she stopped following him.
Even Qin Huairou could tell that something was fishy, how could Xia Shang not?
Why is a county magistrate staring at ordinary people from Yangzhou City?
Moreover, due to insufficient manpower in the county, there is not even a register to register the population. Xia Shang’s identity information has not yet been entered into the Yulin County list!
Logically speaking, the county magistrate would not know the true identity of Xia Shang.
But the facts are known, and it proves that the only possibility is that the Yangzhou prefect is still keeping an eye on the Xia family.
As for why?
the reason is simple.
In the past, although the Xia family was not the richest in Yangzhou, it was still a first-class merchant.
If family property and property are confiscated, how much money will be put into the treasury?
No one can explain this clearly.
Thinking back to the day when he first entered Yichun Courtyard, Xia Shang was surrounded by a table of aggressive men with calluses on their palms. They habitually drew their swords when angry. They were clearly officials from the prefecture.
At that time, Miss Xian'er had to pay two hundred taels of silver to choose a guest.
How much is the monthly salary of a magistrate? Where can I have money to spend at Yichun Yuan?
At that time, the Xia family had just been raided.
It means that the prefect filled his own pocket and distributed the money to his subordinates.
The prefect had a guilty conscience and was afraid that some remnants of the Xia family would expose this debt, so he kept an eye on Xia Shang.
Lu Xun also said that the prefect wanted to kill him.
But Lu Xun did not do that, which proved that the prefect did not dare to go against Lu Xun's wishes.
Now that Lu Xun is dead, no one can stop him, so the prefect immediately jumps out to punish Xia Shang. (To be continued)
