Liang Chuan's unintentional move ended up making a lot of money, which was unexpected by the whole family. Liang Chuan originally planned to tell the two sworn brothers, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. He would repay them in other ways and share money when he had the opportunity in the future. . That doesn't sound right.
If a small stone was thrown into Pinghu Lake when two groups of people fought in Qingyuan County before, then this time the Sun family caught fire, then the ship at the dock was robbed, and the submarine team was killed by patrol soldiers until blood flowed into the river. People are talking a lot. There has not been such a big incident in Quanzhou Prefecture for many years. After tea and dinner, these matters are all discussed in the house. There is also a saying that all the incidents in Qingyuan County were started by the Khitan people. .
However, even ghosts don't believe this statement. Qingyuan is located in the southeast, hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Liao Kingdom. Is it possible that the Khitan people flew over and set fire to Qingyuan? Picture what?
No one will pay attention to this small everything store in Chengtian Lane.
Liang Chuan sorted out the gold threads in the incense candle. There were thousands of taels of gold, which could be converted into tens of thousands of copper coins. This was a large amount of money. For several days in a row, Liang Chuan even slept with a grin on his face. None of the windfalls he had made so far were from business. They were all side incomes. He didn't know when he would use up his luck.
Yelu Zhongguang and the others exposed the Liao envoy's identity and hiding place, knowing that this matter could not be sealed, and people would know about it sooner or later. There was no way out, and he could only surrender to Liang Chuan's door with a sigh.
Liang Chuan attaches great importance to this group of people. Their identity is between the Khitans and the Han people. They have the blood of the two nations but are not accepted by the two nations. Now that they have betrayed the Khitans, the only choice is Liang Chuan. The power of life and death lies with Liang Chuan. They are now a trump card that he has placed in the darkness. One day he will be able to use them. They are definitely a force that cannot be underestimated. This force must not be exposed to the sun prematurely, otherwise it will not be able to play its due role. .
Liang Chuan asked these people to find a new place to live and move away from where they came. They no longer stayed at home as usual and never communicated with the outside world. Liang Chuan told them to treat themselves as Song people now. No different than anyone else, this is an order.
The iron laws of the past few decades have changed overnight. Many people were not used to it at first, but after all they knew that the orders from above could not be violated, so they had no choice but to carry them out.
On the day of the fire in the Sun family, Mr. Sun went out and did not return. When he came back, he saw that the door of his house almost collapsed, half of the yard was burned to ashes, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out and he drove away on the spot. Fortunately, several servants were sharp-eyed and found the old man. Shen calmly snatched it back, but this still made this prominent figure in Qingyuan very angry. He lay at home for several days and has not yet gone to the ground.
It was just a few houses burned down. To the Sun family, this loss was just a matter of selling a few more loads of tea, but it was unacceptable for them to lose face. They didn't know until the incident happened that the person in charge of them didn't care about their identity at all, and only wanted to beat up the drowned dog. . Even if they make more money than they can spend in several lifetimes.
Mr. Sun has already announced that this matter will be investigated to the end. If anyone with knowledge of the matter is found out, a huge reward will be given. For a while, people started talking about the Sun family and a series of things that happened next.
Weiyuan Tower of Quanzhou Prefecture was really angry. Previously, because of an uprising in Xinghua, the rebellion almost reached Qingyuan County, putting everyone in the county in danger. Later, after the peace was over, I thought things had returned to calm. However, the recent series of armed fights, robberies, arson, boat snatching, and mercenaries were all major events that shook the ground in Quanzhou. It was said to be a coincidence. These high-ranking local officials He also refused to agree. It was obvious that someone wanted to cause trouble.
Weiyuan Tower immediately spoke, and all county yamen are now in a special state. If there is any trouble, they will kill first and then take power. Whoever comes to the fore at this juncture will be severely suppressed. They would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let one go!
Zhao Weixian is currently in charge of Weiyuan Tower, but since the incident in Xinghua, there have been even more rumors in Bianjing, which has caused him to take sick days every day, and he has not dealt with the affairs of the state capital much at home. The person in charge now is Huang Shaoping, the general judge, who has a serious academic background. Although there is no conflict with the eldest daughter of the clan like Zhao Weixian, after all, his upbringing and knowledge are completely different, and the natural policies and policies are also different.
Huang Shaoping is a scholar, but he is ruthless and decisive in killing. Now that there is a traitor in Quanzhou Prefecture and his name has been registered with the emperor, Zhao Weixian can't do it by pretending to be ill and ignoring state affairs. If there is another trouble at his hands, Zhao Weixian will be fine, but his future will be ruined. If someone makes him unhappy, then let's all be unhappy together.
The whole Qingyuan, no, the whole Quanzhou Prefecture seems to have entered a state of fanaticism. There are many more soldiers patrolling the streets, especially at the port of Qingyuan. Now only one person who dares to cause trouble can't help but be beaten to death and dragged away. After I went back to the government office and interrogated him carefully, I couldn't explain why I came here, so I left it to the government office.
There are no other changes in Chengtian Alley. There are more people and pilgrims, and the business of Wanda Store is getting more and more prosperous.
What hasn’t changed is Zheng Ruoying’s Taobao store. After two months here, not a pound of sugar has been sold. She was so angry that she came to Liang Chuan's shop every day to make a living. According to her, it was Liang Chuan who tricked her into this road in the first place. Now that she can't sell the candy and make money, she can only eat and live in Liang Chuan's house.
Bi Zhaosheng came to the store early that day and sat there. Liang Chuan got up late. Now everyone in the store is doing their own business in an orderly manner, and there is less need for him to show up.
Shen Yuzhen knew that the person in charge was the landlord of her own shop, and the Wanda store was rented from someone else. He didn't come to the door on weekdays, but today he had a begging look on his face, so he knew there must be something and didn't dare to delay, so he went to call him. Liangchuan.
It turned out that the days were soon coming when Bi Zhaosheng delivered the batch of books he ordered as agreed. Bi Zhaosheng had kicked out the job a few days ago, but he was afraid that the other party would cause trouble again, and he was unsure, so he came to ask Liang Chuan to come over and take charge.
"What else can happen? If he doesn't pay you, you take the deed to the government office and file a complaint. Are you afraid that you won't be able to sue him?"
"I don't want to be in so much trouble... If the ordinary people go to court, the Zhizhou master will not give them good things to eat. Besides, they have close contacts with the government. If the Zhizhou master puts in a good word for them, the money will be dragged on." After three or five years, aren’t we still tired of ourselves?”
If the people do not fight against the officials, they must resort to private power. Since ancient times, the first way people have always thought of solving problems is through private power. Liang Chuan himself has also worked in public power agencies, even in the era when the legal system was established in later generations. , they also thought of handling it this way, because they were afraid of suffering a loss.
Liang Chuan was a good man who did it to the end, thinking that there would be no problem in this matter. After washing up, he took a few bites of breakfast and went back to the store with Bi Zhaosheng to wait.
At noon, a carriage came outside Bi Zhaosheng's store. The carriage was plain and simple in style, but the carriage driver was extremely majestic, with bronze skin and eyes like copper bells.
Two people got out of the car, one looked like a scholar, and the other looked fair-skinned, but his eyes were like mung beans, exuding a sinister aura, and he was not a good person at first glance. Bi Zhaosheng paced at the door for a long time. When he saw this man coming to pick up the goods, he immediately greeted him. Liang Chuan looked at his look and shook his head. Bi Zhaosheng was a good person, but he was not a good person in business.
Bi Zhaosheng cooked a pot of tea for Liang Chuan. Liang Chuan couldn't get used to drinking this kind of tea. It contained various ginger, garlic, salt and other seasonings. It was more appropriate to drink soup than to drink tea. Liang Chuan was sitting in the hall, sipping tea. Looking at the door, he suddenly threw down the tea cup and almost burned his lips with a sip of hot tea.
The person who came turned out to be Duan Peng, the new military commander of Xinghua!
Liang Chuan took three steps to meet him, bowed deeply, made a big bow, and respectfully greeted him: "Hello, Mr. Duan!"
Bi Zhaosheng was startled when he saw Liang Chuan rushing up to him. He didn't expect that the two of them knew each other. . This guest is still a... . grown ups?
The man following Duan Peng was also startled, and secretly screamed something bad, but it flashed in his eyes and did not show it on his face.
With a smile on his face, Duan Peng walked to the main seat and sat down, casually as if this was his territory. He stretched out his hand to indicate that everyone should sit down too.
"I see that Qingyuan is indeed the best in things. Compared with Suhu and Huaihe, it is much richer and richer. Today's trip is worthwhile and it has greatly opened my eyes!" Duan Peng sat down and said: Qingyuan County wore high hats, but what they said had nothing to do with ordinary people like Liang Chuan and others. They could only laugh and nod.
Bi Zhaosheng didn't know Duan Peng's identity yet, and Liang Chuan was not yet immersed in shock. He who followed Duan Peng was thinking about the relationship between several people and Bi Zhaosheng. Everyone seemed to have something on their mind, and the conversation was so confusing that few of them paid attention. Go to your heart.
Liang Chuan responded: "Qingyuan has the convenience of being close to the sea, and goods from all over the world are inexhaustible. If this resource can be properly utilized, it will be a blessing to the Song Dynasty."
Duan Peng said with a smile: "Yes, I have also thought about it. In the past, I always thought that farming and mulberry cultivation were the foundation of the country, and merchants who did not engage in production were the beetles of the country. Today, I see that everyone in Qingyuan does not engage in farming and mulberry cultivation, but they have no worries about food and clothing. , on the other hand, Xinghua, these days are getting worse every day..."
