Xing Bin was stunned and cried, "No matter how hard it is, who would be willing to give away their child?"
Yang Fan said: "You don't have to worry about loan sharking, it will be solved for you naturally. I am planning to set up a publishing house and printing factory in Hangzhou to print newspapers for the Su Bao and also publish some books. The publishing house still lacks Employee, since you are a craftsman who makes woodblocks, you should be literate. You can do woodblocks and printmaking, and you should also have a certain creative foundation. I will write you a letter, and when you recover from your injury, I can recommend you to work . The salary is at least two taels of silver a month, and dormitories and canteens are provided. Two sets of work clothes are also issued a year. Are you interested?"
Xing Bin was dumbfounded. He worked hard for a month and could not earn more than three cents of silver. This was still in the prosperous south of the Yangtze River. In the north, wages would be even less. Such good treatment is like pie in the sky.
"I do, I do, thank you uncle, thank you uncle." Xing Bin said quickly.
Yang Fan nodded. Since he was willing to go to Hangzhou, it would prevent his father and daughter from suffering revenge from the Huang family after he left.
"Bring him fifty taels of silver for the soup and medicine." Yang Fan ordered. "Well, wait until I return and take you and your daughter with me."
Xing Bin had just set his bones and couldn't bear the shock. Otherwise, he would have been permanently disabled.
Yang Fan's carriage has good shock absorption, and if the seat is laid flat and soft, it should be able to ensure that the wound will not be affected.
"Sir, I can't repay you for your great kindness. How can I take your money? I don't dare to accept this money no matter what." Xing Bin said anxiously.
"Take it, if you hit someone, it's natural to pay compensation. Do you want to frame me for injustice?" Yang Fan said with a face.
"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare." Xing Bin kept saying, his face turned pale with fright.
Han Jun brought a linen bag and filled it with fifty silver coins. Stuffed into Xing Bin's arms. Xing Bin didn't speak either, just silently crying.
At this time, Zhang Pu's steward came in and said, "Uncle, the head of the Huang family is here. He is waiting outside the gate. He wants to come and apologize to uncle."
After today's conflict, the local gentry circle in Suzhou was immediately alarmed. Muskets were used in the streets. From the government to various forces, it is impossible to remain indifferent.
After Yang Fan and his party left, people from the Huang family followed behind. Look where they end up.
As a result, something became more and more wrong as they walked, and the group went straight to Zhang Tianru's house.
They kept sending people back to report. The people who followed became increasingly frustrated.
When they saw Zhang Tianru actually opened the middle door and came out to greet him, calling him Uncle Dingyuan, they were so frightened that their legs became weak. He almost collapsed to the ground.
They were sent to the Yamen to report, and Yang Fan and his party who hid firearms were also urgently recovered.
They drew their swords at Uncle Dingyuan. Even if they were killed on the spot, their deaths were in vain. If Uncle Dingyuan refuses to let go and takes them all to Jinyiwei Prison, they will have no choice but to consider themselves unlucky.
They are quite good at bullying some poor people, but they are not qualified to learn from Jin Yiwei's methods.
Mr. Huang hurriedly sent people to ask the prefect to come and make peace, and at the same time sent people to Zhang Tianru's door with gifts to ask for an audience.
An arrogant person like Zhang Tianru looked down on these urban foxes and rats at all, and even refused to let them in through the gate.
"He sent back all the documents Xing Bin borrowed from loan sharks, and brought many gifts, asking to see my uncle," the housekeeper said.
Yang Fan sneered, knowing at this moment that he had hit a brick wall. However, there was no intention of seeing him at all.
"Brother Yang, Mr. Li, the prefect of Suzhou, is here. Let's meet together." Zhang Pu walked in. "After all, he is the parent official of Suzhou, so he must give him some face."
Yang Fan sneered, people like the Huang family are very quick to see opportunities. He didn't have time to deal with them before he could spare the time. They invited everyone backstage.
After all, he still has to run a newspaper office in Jiangnan, and he still needs to be given the prefect's face.
"Since the parents are here, let's meet." Yang Fan said.
Half an hour later, Zhang Pu personally escorted Magistrate Li out. Magistrate Li said with a smile on his face
Zhang Pu said goodbye.
Seeing Zhang Pu go back, he turned his face, his face suddenly filled with frost, and he looked at Huang Wending, the head of the Huang family, fiercely.
"Sir, sir, this is really a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding...ah!" Huang Wending hadn't finished speaking yet. Magistrate Li slapped Huang Wending, making him stagger.
"You blinded your dog eyes, insulted Uncle Dingyuan, and even drew a sword with the Jin Yiwei. Do you know what kind of person Uncle Dingyuan is? You dare to provoke him. Are you afraid that I don't have enough things? If Zhang Tianru hadn't said that today And, I can’t even eat anymore and have to walk around. I’ll just wait for my house to be confiscated and sent to jail.”
Huang Wending quickly bent down to thank him, and at the same time took out a wad of banknotes and quietly stuffed them into Magistrate Li's hand.
Magistrate Li looked at this worthless thing with hatred. Considering that he had dealt with it too harshly, his beloved concubine would inevitably cry and live in search of death. He scolded: "Take good care of your dog minions, keep your eyes open, don't cause trouble again, get out."
After Magistrate Li finished cursing, he got on the sedan and left.
"Okay, get out of here, get out of here." As if he had received an amnesty, Huang Wending wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned around to leave. Suddenly I remembered that there were gifts, so I quickly asked someone to leave them at the door.
I decided in my heart to leave the city immediately, hide in the countryside first, and then come back after Uncle Dingyuan left. At the same time, inform your family not to go out for the next few days. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you again, you will never forgive him.
Early the next morning, Yang Fan said goodbye and set off back to Hangzhou with a group of people and Xing Bin and his daughter.
"Master, what should I do with these belongings sent by Huang Wending?" Han Jun asked.
He knew how the master was willing to accept such dirty money, and it made him feel sick just looking at it.
"The Huang family is also half responsible for this traffic accident. They also need to compensate. Take those things with you and give them to Xing Bin when you get to Hangzhou. Even if it's compensation for Yuanyuan's shock," Yang Fan said with a smile.
Thinking of the little breast dumplings, my eyes widened in horror, and my eyes were as red as a little rabbit from crying, and I felt a little distressed for no apparent reason. These gifts were worth five hundred taels of silver, so they should be considered as a shock to the little girl.
The two rows of benches facing each other in the carriage were flattened to form a complete bed, covered with thick quilts. Xing Bin and Xing Yuan were placed on the carriage.
Yang Fan rode a horse and galloped all the way out of Suzhou Fucheng.
The journey back was a familiar one and went much faster than when we came.
In addition to high-performance modern springs, the shock absorption of Yang Fan's personal carriage also uses pneumatic shock absorption components. It is very comfortable and no worse than a modern luxury sedan. This is specially made for Yang Fan's long-distance travel to and from various places.
Usually, Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru always find various reasons to use Yang Fan's carriage. Because the most advanced carriages produced by Xincheng Carriage Factory are far behind Yang Fan's special carriages.
Just after noon, we had already arrived at the pier outside Hangzhou.
Two large white sailboats were moored quietly on the dock and were lighting a fire. The boiler needs to boil water for a certain period of time before the steam pressure can drive the steam engine.
"Let's go on board and take a look. This trial voyage has covered three thousand miles of sea route. I don't know if there is any problem with the steam engine and transmission system."
