Chang Qian was smart since childhood, but when Xia Lin said this, he thought it made sense.
However, there are no two completely the same people. Everyone will always have more or less their own personalities and opinions.
Although Chang Qian felt that what Xia Lin said was reasonable, if he asked him for money and asked him to use these reasons to deal with it, he would be embarrassed to say it out loud.
He has the best face!
At the same time, he also felt that if his subordinates could not even afford to eat and drink wine, then his master would be embarrassed.
So no matter how hard he listened, he would not do as Xia Lin said.
Xia Lin also saw it and finally gave Chang Qian a silver note of 2,000 taels.
This is already half of the money Xia Lin has in hand.
Although Chang Qian felt that it was a little bit small, he still took it and left.
If it were an ordinary family, a family of ten would never spend 2,000 taels of silver in their lifetime.
But Chang Qian's subordinates are completely different.
Every meal in the inn includes wine and meat, and the meat is fine. The meat in the northern Xinjiang region is relatively cheap.
But the price of wine is high and low.
These followers were very arrogant and dared not order the most expensive one, which cost dozens of taels of silver.
But order moderate wine.
It takes several taels of silver to come down this jar.
There were 185 people in total, and in addition to twenty-five maids and mothers, there were 180 people.
Ten people gathered together, with a total of eighteen tables.
Because Chang Qian has been staying in the guest line and not going out, these followers are also idle in the inn.
It’s better to have something to do, but when you are idle, you will be drunk and dreaming.
At noon and evening, a jar of wine is ordered at each table.
There are two jars of wine a day, and eighteen tables are thirty-six jars.
Each jar of wine costs three taels of silver, and the wine alone costs 108 taels in one day.
In addition to the meal money, the followers will spend at least 120 taels a day.
This is the follower, and Chang Qian himself also wants to eat and drink.
Having nothing to do, Chang Qian sent a few subordinates to ask what was delicious here.
Then buy ingredients for the chef to make.
He wouldn't easily eat food sold on the street.
First, I dislike it unclear, and second, I am afraid that someone will harm him in secret.
Even with these entourage guards, he would not believe in them all.
Because there are also intrigues within the Chang family.
Changqing's extreme favor for him made many Chang's children jealous, especially the eldest brother of the direct line, afraid that Changqing would ignore traditions in the future and let Chang Qian, the concubine, take the position of the head of the family, have long been determined to get rid of Chang Qian.
When Chang Qian was a child, he was assassinated several times.
If it weren't for good luck, I would have been able to turn bad luck into good luck, and I would have died many times long ago.
For this reason, Changqing exercised when he was a child and did not allow him to eat food given to others at will.
The method is very simple.
On the table was placed his favorite pastry, so he could watch it, but not let it eat it.
If you cry, Changqing will scold you.
But if you dare to reach out to get it, you will inevitably be beaten by Changqing with a bamboo board.
This is also the only way that Changqing has been harsh on him and beat him from childhood to adulthood.
Therefore, Chang Qian usually buys ingredients for rice and then lets the chef who has passed the letter to make it for him to eat.
Moreover, the maid who delivered the meal must be the closest to him.
If someone else beats the game in the middle, Chang Qian will not enjoy it again.
Throw it away and let the chef remade it.
Chang Qian's daily expenses range from twenty taels of silver.
In this way, the entire team will have to spend 140 taels of silver every day, which is not the case when they have already paid the money they have booked for the inn.
The inn is to book all the rooms.
Eating and drinking are naturally calculated separately.
Chang Qian borrowed 2,000 taels of silver, and added that he had about 1,000 taels left on hand before.
Three thousand taels of silver can last for about twenty days.
But Chang Qian has to stay here for two or three years.
A few days later, Chang Qian spent the silver on his hand like flowing water.
At first, Chang Qian was a little worried and distressed, but then he thought that when his grandfather took action, he drove Jiang Long away from Lingtong County. At that time, wouldn’t he have the final say in Lingtong County?
At this time, Lingtong County was extremely prosperous from the surface.
Therefore, Chang Qian determined that there must be a lot of money in the county yamen.
By then, he could naturally squander at will.
After thinking about this, I wrote a letter to go home and asked Changqing for money and was extinguished.
As time passes, the main river channel of the periphery is getting closer and closer to the period of steep water diversion.
Jianglong has to go and see it every day. It is estimated that in three days at most, it will be able to dig the river bank to divert water.
The temperature has completely dropped, and the Hunhe River is not frozen because it is wide enough and the waves are surging.
Some small streams have long since frozen on the surface.
There is windy in the northern border, and if it cools down again, work will have to be stopped.
Therefore, Jiang Long rarely urged the people to rush to meet the construction period.
The yamen runners in charge of the supervisor all felt a lot of pressure. They roared all the time these days, some of their voices were hoarse, and some of their lips became irritated.
I hope that the cooling will not drop again in these three days!
Jiang Long looked up at the sky in the west. The blue sky was endless, without a half cloud, and there was no sign of snow.
Although it is sunny, it is windy almost every day.
It was better at noon, but the wind in the morning and evening was like a knife.
Scratching on the face makes it so painful.
Children are no longer allowed to go out in the morning and evening these days.
Otherwise, the cold wind would easily numb the child's face.
Xia Lin sometimes went to the county government to sit in the city or take advantage of the noon to take a look.
Discuss with Jiang Long and ask about some things.
Chang Qian was weak and had a very unpleasant relationship with Jiang Long, so he kept hiding in the inn.
Jiang Long thinks this is also good, otherwise if Chang Qian jumped out and pointed at him, he would make people angry and annoying.
I thought that the day was peaceful and I could wait for the day when the water was drawn into the river.
But at noon that day, the people beat the drum in front of the yamen.
Cheng Ze first asked roughly, and then asked someone to find Jiang Long back from the construction site.
The yamen runner who went to find Jianglong said that a murder occurred in the county town.
So Jiang Long rushed back without stopping, and his face was almost numb by the cold wind along the way.
Human life is at stake!
This is no small matter.
Perhaps it is nothing to die a few people in Chang Qian's eyes, but for most officials, life lawsuits are by no means unfair.
After stepping into the hall of the back yamen, Jiang Long quickly took over the hot tea handed over by a yamen runner and drank a few sips.
Then, I surrounded the red-burned charcoal basin and baked for a while, and it felt less cold.
Remember here that if it is frozen for a long time, it cannot be baked immediately. Let the body slowly warm up, otherwise it will hurt wherever it is roasted.
During this period, Cheng Ze introduced the case to Jiang Long.
Then, Jiang Long came to the people who were complaining about the wronged and asked carefully about the past.
This is how it becomes clear.
He still underestimated the ability of Chang Qian and the Chang family entourage to cause trouble.
It turns out that although the Chang family's entourage has been drunk and dreaming, and eats and drinks with big meat every day, he is still dissatisfied with one aspect.
That's no woman!
When they were in the capital, some of them got married and naturally they had their wives to accompany them.
Some people have not started a family and can spend money to go to brothels.
But under Jiang Long's strict management, there are no brothels in Lingtong County.
Of course, it just means that no brothel dares to be in the open.
With so many migrant populations in Lingtong County nowadays, secret prostitution is indispensable.
These followers asked around and found a place to vent, but most of the secret prostitutes looked ordinary, and none of them were beautiful.
So these followers were very dissatisfied.
In addition, the county government is strictly managed, it is dangerous to engage in secret prostitution. If you are caught, you will not only be fined for money, but also go to jail.
So the price is high, and finally one day, these entourage guards exploded.
After playing, more than a dozen minions didn't pay.
Where can the secret prostitutes be willing to follow?
First, they pulled and then fought. In the end, more than a dozen followers attacked too hard and caused a death.
There are thugs around the secret prostitutes.
A woman is already weak in physical strength. What should she do if she doesn’t find a few thugs and the customers don’t pay?
These thugs dare not fight with the officers, but even if these stutters are full of Beijing accents, they still cannot scare the thugs.
I want to play for nothing, no way!
After drinking, these entourages did not take any serious measures. A total of three thugs were beaten to death.
When someone dies, these followers are a little more awake.
However, thinking about Chang Qian behind them, they were not too scared.
Just returned to the inn and hid quietly.
Jiang Long asked about the case and immediately brought the yamen runners to the inn to arrest people.
Chang Qian was lying on the bed to rest, but when he heard that Jiang Long came to make trouble again, he couldn't help but be furious.
The ghost weather in the northern border is so cold!
I was so idle that I went crazy again.
Chang Qian was in a bad mood.
Besides, my family's letter has been sent to the capital, but there are still no letters.
So Chang Qian was already angry.
Wearing a thick fur cloak, Chang Qian rushed straight to the lobby on the first floor of the inn.
At this time, Jiang Long led Tudu, Gantibake, Qin Yu and the yamen runners to confront the Chang family's followers.
Although Jiang Long has few people, his momentum is not bad at all.
"Jing Jianglong, what are you going to do?" Chang Qian roared angrily after seeing Jianglong's figure.
Jiang Long just glanced at Chang Qian indifferently, "Don't you know yet?"
"What should I know?"
With just a few words, Chang Qian rushed to Jiang Long.
"Your dozen entourages went to prostitution, and they didn't pay, and they even beat two people to death."
When Chang Qian heard this, he was stunned.
Don't pay for prostitution?
How is this possible?
There are two types of money that cannot be relied on, one is prostitution and the other is gambling.
"This is impossible!" Chang Qian yelled with a blushing face, "It's not that they have no money at hand, it's impossible! Are you here to find fault on purpose, right?"
"Bring the people who are complaining about the wrongs." Jiang Long whispered.
"yes!"
He Dao responded, and after a while, he brought a man and eight women to the front.
Jiang Long asked, "You said, I told you all the time."
"Chang Qian, considering that you are also an official of the court and are unaware of it, I will give you face. I will explain the case first and then arrest the person." Jiang Long spoke again, and said firmly: "So please cooperate, but
If you want to protect your subordinates, then this official will be tough!"
Chang Qian's face turned blue and white at this moment.
He never expected that his subordinates would go to prostitution and not pay for it!
In fact, it was not here? In the past, these followers were often dependent on their accounts in the capital.
It’s just that those people dare not go to Changfu to ask for an explanation.
These serfs are not stupid, they will only bully those who have no background power.
After listening to the oral narratives of the people, Chang Qian knew that the matter should be true.
But letting him cooperate and admit that his entourage killed someone, he couldn't!
More than a dozen followers in the mansion did not pay for prostitution. If such a thing is spread, it would have lost all the face of the Chang Mansion.
In Chang Qian's eyes, the face of the Chang family and his own are the most important.
Secondly, you don’t pay for prostitution.
As for killing someone, they are ranked last.
"Master Jing, maybe these lowly people want to falsely accuse and blackmail?"
Chang Qian said something and quietly winked at Jiang Long.
At this time, no matter how he doesn't deal with Jiang Long, he has to reduce his identity.
I plan to go to a remote place and discuss it privately with Jiang Long.
