Although Dai Lu was in charge of food, housing, and clothing, Dai Shan was not satisfied with only earning five taels of silver per month. He mentioned the salary increase to Dai Lu several times, but was flatly rejected by his employer.
According to Dai Lu, if you want to eat my food, wear my clothes, live in my house, and want a salary increase, that is just a dream. But looking at Daishan, he only earns a little more than ordinary servants because of his hard work and dedication.
Working from early to late, going through hardships and hardships, just for five taels of silver?
Therefore, Dai Shan has always been worried about this matter, and now he has found an excellent opportunity.
"Dai Lu, now that all the certified evidence is there, how dare you quibble! Someone is here to put Dai Lu in jail and wait until the Metropolitan Procuratorate completes the conviction before dealing with him!"
With the account books provided by Dai Shan and Hou Tongzeng, he believed that the case would definitely not be overturned.
"Dog officer! This is a frame-up! My family has great magical powers and must return my innocence!"
Dai Lu, who refused to admit his guilt, began to curse. They had framed everything. As long as there was a chance, he would clear his name.
"Hmph! How can you, a profiteer, say you are innocent?"
Hou Tong had heard that the Crown Prince had mediated the case between Dai Lu and Chen Xin. Dai Lu had openly preached in the teahouse about how powerful the Qing army was.
Shuntian Prefecture can detain the suspect first, and then transfer the suspect to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The trial will be completed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If there is no objection, the suspect can be sentenced.
Nowadays, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is overcrowded, and the density in the cell is comparable to that of a market. If no more people can be crammed in, they will have no choice but to suppress them at Shuntian Mansion first.
"Send someone to guard the Dai family, and no one can enter or leave. The government will pay for it and place Dai Shan somewhere else!"
"yes!"
In order to protect important witnesses from being murdered, Hou Tongzeng provided Daishan with corresponding treatment.
In wartime, as long as there is no evidence in the certification, the case trial time is very short, and the case can be finalized in three days.
This means that Daishan will stay in a temporary residence for a few days, and then he will be free again.
According to relevant regulations, if the content of the report is verified to be correct, the person being reported will receive 20% of the cash.
"Thank you, sir!"
After withdrawing from the court, Dai Shan happily followed the yamen servant out, thinking that after this incident, he would at least get hundreds of taels of silver at a time.
As usual, the government officials placed this man in a house in an alley near the government office. The area was small, but the location was excellent. There were many patrolling officers and soldiers and factory guards, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter.
"Dai Shan! Don't go out before the case is closed. I will send him to bring you food on time. If a stranger knocks on the door, don't pay attention. Be careful with your life!"
The leading yamen servant introduced one of the accompanying followers to Dai Shan. After this arrangement, it was much safer.
"Thank you two big brothers!"
Dai Shan hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted. He was also afraid that Dai Lu's confidants at home would retaliate against him. This money must be earned, and life must be saved. Otherwise, what is the use of asking for money if the person dies?
The yamen servant put the food and wine in the room and left. Dai Lu looked at the delicious food on the table and felt that it was not bad to live like a pig for a few days, so he started to feast on it.
"Daishan!"
"Ah... you... who are you?"
Not long after the yamen officer left, a man in black quietly appeared in front of Dai Shan. Dai Shan was immediately frightened out of his mind. The other person actually had his own name. How could he do that? Could it be that someone wanted his life?
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. I'm here to tell you that the case will be concluded within three days, and you will get a sum of money at that time! After that, you must do what I say to ensure that you have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life!"
The man in black, covering his mouth and nose with only his eyes exposed, stood opposite Daishan and began to give him orders without sitting down.
"Ah? This..."
Dai Shan was completely dumbfounded. The other party actually predicted the time limit of the case. If he hadn't just spoken out, he would have really great powers.
"Don't hesitate, you are just a chess piece. If you obey, you can eat others. If you don't, you will be eaten by other chess pieces!"
The man in black saw that this guy was timid and didn't dare to challenge him, so he gave him a warning.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! I hope you will give me some advice! I don't dare to disobey you!"
Dai Shan didn't know where the other party was coming from, and the tone of his voice was quite serious. He didn't have any other skills, so he had to follow others' instructions for now.
"Listen carefully, after the case is concluded, you return to the Dai family, and then you can make the decision. In the name of Dai Lu, you sold 500,000 kilograms of refined salt on credit to the Lianghuai salt merchants, including the amount you had previously agreed with Dai Lu. Haoran’s family stated in the letter that when the goods arrive in the capital, the money and goods will be settled!”
The man in black told this guy the plan he had made in advance, but it was hard to say how successful it would be.
"Yes, yes, yes! I will do as the noble Lord orders me! It's just..."
Dai Shan understood clearly after hearing this, which meant that someone helped him become a leader, and after he gained power, he could be the master of the country. But what he didn't understand was how to get salt from the Xu family, and what the secret was.
"But it doesn't matter!"
"The younger one feels that if Dai Lu is imprisoned and convicted, the whole Dai family will be affected more or less. If the Xu family and other salt merchants hear about this and spread it to Lianghuai, this matter of selling refined salt on credit will..."
Dai Shan didn't mind coming to occupy the magpie's nest. After all, he was the one taking advantage. But when the truth came out, who would dare to do business with someone like him who had overthrown his old owner?
"Now the capital is surrounded by Donglu. Not to mention merchants, even the king's army cannot leave easily. After the enemy is retreated, it will take time to return to normal. There will be a time difference of as long as one month or as short as half a month. As long as you make good use of this time difference, you can get half a million kilograms of refined salt, and then you won't have to pay a single tael of silver! If you sell it, all the taels of silver will be yours, wouldn't it be nice?"
This is the most critical part of the whole plan. If this idiot can understand the mystery, he can guess his identity.
There is only one kind of person who can take advantage of this time difference to make money during wartime, but those who know about it dare not speak out, otherwise their lives will be in danger.
"...This...is good! I will obey your orders! After the refined salt changes hands, I will definitely give you all the benefits, and I will never dare to take a few for myself!"
Dai Shan has also been involved in the business world for many years, how could he not know the key points inside? Maybe this matter is the other party deliberately testing his greed.
If it can be done, it means that the other party has great hands and eyes, and it is too late for me to flatter him. I must give him the benefits of the first time.
Five hundred thousand kilograms of refined salt!
It doesn’t cost a penny!
Be good!
This is more ruthless than the dog Tatars and bandits outside!
"Stop making noises! As long as you do your work honestly, you can sleep with Dailu's woman, live in Dailu's house, and spend Dailu's money! Someone will take care of the unnecessary waste from the Dai family for you. !”
Good dogs can certainly eat meat, but evil dogs can only become dog meat!
This has been the case throughout the ages.
No rules, no standards.
After presenting such an attractive gift, the man in black also believed that Dai Shan would not be stupid.
Money, a house, and women are what most people pursue throughout their lives.
"Little Daishan kowtows to his master. From now on, if the master has something to do, just give him orders. He will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Dai Shan was very smart and knew that this was a good opportunity to hug his thigh. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"No, I've just told you all the benefits. From now on, it depends on your idiot's ability to do things! You can't tell anyone else about this matter. Only you know and I know, otherwise..."
The man in black looked down on this kind of thing where the seller was looking for glory, but if you want to do big things, you have to use this kind of people. It was a good thing that he brought down Dai Lu, otherwise there would be no remaining use value.
"Yes, yes! You must keep your mouth shut, otherwise your life will be at risk!"
Dai Shan knew that these people were evil-minded and ruthless. He had been a housekeeper before, but now he thought about it, he just had a different master.
However, if he could get half a million kilograms of refined salt by defrauding him, it seemed like what he was doing was even more unethical than what Dai Lu had done. While Dai Shan was feeling uneasy, he was also a little excited.
Five hundred thousand kilograms of refined salt!
How much is this worth?
That’s it!
All the money from the resale will be given to this noble man!
As long as the noble man rewards Dai Lu's wives and concubines for his own enjoyment, it will be completely worth it!
He must return all the benefits that Dai Lu has squeezed out of him over the years to his women!
From now on, he will live in Dai Lu's house and sleep on his bed with his woman in his arms!
Although the two parties were relatives, Dai Shan would always remember the ferocious way Dai Lu beat and scolded him.
Only by venting in this way can we relieve our hatred!
As for Dai Lu's heir, since the noble man said he would help him solve it, that would be the best thing.
Daishan ate the food and wine on the table and read the recently published newspapers. He could live a good life.
Outside, after learning that Wang Shi had killed tens of thousands of enemies, the people in the city were filled with joy.
Beat gongs and drums, sing and dance, and use firecrackers and fireworks.
Since firecrackers and fireworks can no longer be purchased, gunpowder is used to make ammunition, and fewer and fewer people are setting off firecrackers.
But the people couldn't bear the joy, and all the teahouses, restaurants, and various clubs in the streets were full.
Eating and drinking is not important, the important thing is to share the joy of beating the dog tartar.
This matter cannot be false. Firstly, there are photos taken at the scene as evidence, and secondly, there are accounts from soldiers and strong men who have experienced the war.
"I heard that Master Wang burned the dog tartar! It's like burning straw!"
"That scene is much more spectacular than burning straw! Master Wang burned a living person!"
"I didn't expect that dog Tatars were also afraid of fire, and ten thousand people were burned to death in one go!"
"So what if the dog Tatars are invulnerable? They were burned by a fire and completely defeated!"
"Zhuge Liang used this move to defeat the barbarian Menghuo's vine-armored soldiers back then!"
"Yes! Yes, yes! I remember very clearly that there is such a passage in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!"
"Compared with Three Kingdoms, I like to watch "The Secret History of Guanwai" more!"
"Oh! My dear friends! I and my brother are of the same mind!"
"Ahahahaha...disrespect! Disrespect!"
Although these people who were commenting at the dinner did not participate in the war, when they talked about it, they were all in high spirits and extremely excited.
It's no wonder that the last time Wang Shi won was the "Ningyuan Victory", and it was said that hundreds of heads were captured.
It is absolutely impossible to compare with this "Great Victory in the Capital City". The gains this time reached tens of thousands.
The person in charge of the overall command was Zhou Yuji, who was mainly responsible for the East Palace Guards belonging to Chen Guowei, Ni Chong and other generals.
Previously, Yaoyan said that the East Palace Guards were vulnerable, and the Donglu, who had repeatedly won battles, would reveal their true colors.
As a result, after the two sides clashed, the arrogant Donglu army was burned to its true colors.
I heard that the East Palace Guards lost less than 500 people, but they were able to kill more than 10,000 enemies. They were undoubtedly elite troops.
The prince's military training method is really amazing. In three months, he has created a rock-solid real king's army.
Some people even say that it is even more powerful than the Qi Jiajun back then, because the Qi Jiajun's opponents were Japanese pirates, and the Donggong Guards were like dog Tatars.
It is a recognized fact that dog Tatars are more powerful than Japanese pirates. Being able to annihilate tens of thousands of dog Tatars is not as easy as just talking.
From Sun Shaobao to Governor Yuan, no one has achieved such an achievement.
After Huang Chuangzi led the Yongwei camp southward, General Zhou was able to turn the tide. It was indeed the Crown Prince's sharp eyes that saw the right person.
No one knew that Zhou Yuji had such ability. In terms of military exploits against the Donglu, after this battle, he could easily surpass Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan.
If Zhou Zongbing can once again defeat the Donglu army who captured the chief Taiji on this basis, his status in the eyes of the world will be equal to that of Qi Shaobao.
He commanded 40,000 to 50,000 people and defeated the 300,000 Donglu army at the city gate. If we were talking about the natural enemy of Taiji, the leader of the Lu tribe, it was none other than Zhou Zongbing!
Why didn't Emperor Chongzhen find such a talent before?
That's all because of his bad eyesight!
Who can you blame?
If not, Chen Guowei, Ni Chong and others were imprisoned for execution due to the fall of Jinan. After being rescued by the prince, they became so brave and good at fighting. Doesn't it mean that Yang Sichang deliberately framed these generals?
The Crown Prince was extremely wise and allowed these people to serve their crimes. Now they have been cleared of their grievances and have become strong men who defend our Ming Dynasty. If there is someone who knows how to employ people and is good at using them, in the past hundred years, it has to be the Prince.
"I heard that Master Wang is giving our filth to the dog Tatars to enjoy!"
"Huh? Seriously?"
"Of course it's serious! Didn't you see a convoy transporting this thing along the way?"
"That's great!"
"The dog Tartars cannot find food, so they will eat our filth!"
"Ah ha ha ha ha..."
As long as the dog Tatars can be troubled, the people will find ways to contribute to the country.
If nothing else works, I can definitely eat more Dora.
Creating more filth can be regarded as doing your best for the prince.
Before, it would have been annoying to mention it during meals or tea.
But this time we just achieved a great victory, so everything we say is just to add to the fun.
Especially the content about cleaning up the dog Tartars will be welcomed by everyone.
"Have you been vaccinated?"
"Something has been planted!"
"I have contracted smallpox at my young age!"
"We're not in a hurry. We'll have the strength to stand in line only after we eat!"
After hearing that the immortal magic was not contagious, the people felt relieved.
However, the vaccination place on the street still looked like a sea of people.
The yamen officials said they couldn't jump in line, but they didn't say they couldn't change people, so the wealthy gentry asked their servants to stand in line.
When it's almost the servant's turn, they go out to replace them, so that they can reflect their aloof status.
Even in the aisles that serve wealthy gentry and merchants, many of the people queuing up are servants.
After all the nobles such as the master, wife and other nobles have been vaccinated, the servants can line up for themselves again.
Generally, the hosts are either waiting in teahouses or restaurants, or sitting next to the procession in sedan chairs and watching.
Anyway, they would not just stand around like ordinary people, and some even directly set up a table on the street and started playing mahjong.
As long as it doesn't affect the queues and normal traffic, the government officials and factory guards don't bother to care. They can't take care of serious things at the moment, and no one has time to care about such nonsense.
"My lord, why are you here?"
"not welcome?"
"Huh? Welcome! Welcome! I'm so flattered!"
"Don't be surprised! You will definitely like this reward I give you!"
"Yes, yes! This is..."
After sunset, the man in black came again, this time not only himself, but also brought a gift, to be precise, a living person.
Dai Shan also knew this person. She was the concubine that Dai Lu had just married less than two years ago. She was sixteen years old, but she was very young. Dai Shan fell in love with her at the first sight.
Unfortunately, Dai Lu has always regarded him as a taboo. Dai Shan was afraid of being punished or even sent to prison, so he could only look at it without having the courage to actually reach out.
"Enjoy what is given to you! From now on, don't mention her alone, even the entire Dai family will be at your mercy!"
"Thank you, noble man! But as I have been told, I will die without mercy!"
The Dai family has been taken care of by the government officials. If this noble man can still propose people, that's really awesome.
You have to be careful in the future and don't be careless.
But for now, it’s better to enjoy the reward...
