It is one thing to spend 2,000 taels of silver in order to show off, but it is another thing to pay 4,000 taels of silver because she has to pay 4,000 taels of silver for her. Especially, although Miss Jin is not short of money, she brought 5,000 taels of silver with her when she came to Huaian Mansion this time.
, not enough to pay.
The guy at Jin Yuzhai only has twenty taels of salary a year. A guy can save 4,000 taels for two hundred years. No matter how rich Miss Jin is, she really hurts if she takes out 5,000 taels, especially when she sees Zhan Feiyu.
He looked smiling and was even more angry.
"You little girl dares to laugh!" His voice was sharp and angry, and Jin Baozhen slapped Zhan Feiyu in the face with her height.
Her skin was dark, and she hated the most was the white-skinned girl. Especially Zhan Feiyu not only had a white face but also had big eyes. She all hit the point that Jin Baozhen hated the most. Otherwise, she would not have bought it because of showing off her sarcasm at the beginning.
There are two thousand taels of things.
Zhan Feiyu stood there without moving. In the eyes of the fat shopkeeper and others, he thought she was scared, but just as Jin Baozhen reached out to Zhan Feiyu.
"Ah!" With a scream, Jin Baozhen suddenly retracted her hand, her face turned pale, and her fingers almost disappeared.
Shaking the dagger in his hand, Zhan Feiyu smiled innocently, "A dagger of three hundred taels is said to be peeled like mud, but it's a pity..."
"You dare..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhan Feiyu pointing his sharp dagger at him, Jin Baozhen retreated in fear, but never stepped on the Jin Box on the ground.
"Ah!" She screamed again, and everyone saw Jin Baozhen staggering to the ground. She probably had her butt pricked by a wooden box on the ground. Her face was so painful that she had no blood on her face and she didn't react for a long time.
Zhan Feiyu blinked at He Nuan beside him. A Nuan learned bad things and even secretly made trouble.
The fat shopkeeper looked at the scene that happened speechlessly. What are you doing?
The middle-aged beautiful woman also looked cold and walked over and looked down at Zhan Feiyu and scolded her, "At a young age, she is so vicious and cruel. Is this your tutoring etiquette? Whose girl are you?"
The young man Jin Guixuan pulled Jin Baozhen up who fell to the ground with disgust. Even if he disliked his elder sister and was embarrassed, the people of the Jin family could not tolerate bullying by outsiders.
"This aunt." As soon as the earthy name was shouted, Zhan Feiyu was stared at by the beautiful woman without any surprise. She didn't care and continued: "You group of adults bully the small with the big and bully the weak with the strong,
For being unkind and domineering, you talk about ethics with me? Aunt, no wonder you have to apply facial fat when you go out. It’s really thick-skinned!”
The fat shopkeeper laughed and then glared at the two guys beside him with warnings. The gods fight and the mortals suffer! They should stay away from it and don’t be vented.
"What a sharp mouth!" The beautiful woman laughed furiously and pointed at the dagger in Zhan Feiyu's hand, "Even if my niece is wrong first, you can hurt someone with a knife and then later. If Baozhen hadn't shrunk, she would have shrunk.
Hurry, you have cut off all five fingers!"
This is not an exaggeration. No one expected that Zhan Feiyu would use a knife. Any woman in the back home who relied on her identity would not teach others by herself. It was too expensive. When a look passed, the old lady who served her would do it for her.
.
Even if it is not particular, it is just like Jin Baozhen. But Zhan Feiyu, a pretty and cute little girl, takes a knife whenever she disagrees, which is different.
Faced with the accusation of the beautiful woman, Zhan Feiyu smiled shamelessly, "The one who flirts first is cheap, but it deserves that his skills are not as good as others."
"You bitch, I'm going to kill you!" Jin Baozhen had never suffered such grievances at home. She screamed like crazy. If Jin Guixuan hadn't grabbed his arm, she would probably have rushed over to find Zhan Feiyu to fight desperately.
"Daqinglu killed someone and paid for his life." Zhan Feiyu threw the words lightly, and Jin Baozhen was so angry that he was about to go crazy again.
Picking up the box containing daggers from the ground, Zhan Feiyu looked at the fat shopkeeper who was hiding beside him, "I'll come and visit you next time when you have good goods. If you don't disturb the shopkeeper, you will be able to recover."
"Miss..." The fat shopkeeper didn't dare to let Zhan Feiyu leave like this. This was a compensation of 4,000 taels.
"Aunt, they are in the same group. They must have looked at us and deliberately blackmailed!" Jin Baozhen glared at the fat shopkeeper fiercely, "I just touched it for a while, these boxes fell to the ground. You made of tofu.
Is it?"
Although doing business requires peace and wealth, it cannot tolerate such false accusations. It is reported that Jin Yuzhai doesn't have to open the door. The fat shopkeeper's face sank, "This lady is careful. Jin Yuzhai is already the third generation in Huaian Prefecture.
I have always been a fool. If you fall down, you will have to pay even if you go to court to pay for money!”
"If you go, go, am I still afraid of going to court? Chu..." Jin Baozhen didn't finish her words, but was interrupted by the beautiful woman.
Looking at Zhan Feiyu who was not concerned about his own affairs and the strong-willed shopkeeper, the beautiful woman said coldly: "It is the fault of three people to be thrown away. There is no reason to ask Baozhen to pay the money alone. Since it is 4,000 taels.
, We will compensate 1,500 taels!"
The beautiful woman acted like giving alms, and it seemed that they had suffered a great loss of 1,500 taels of money.
"I won't pay, I'll go to the court if I go to the court." Zhan Feiyu spoke first, not forgetting the character Chu that Jin Baozhen blurted out just now. Did he know the Master Chu? Such an arrogant and domineering style does not look like a family of officials.
It's more like a merchant, after all, you can get thousands of taels of silver notes with just one move.
Jin Zhanfeiyu didn't know much about the families of the Daqing Dynasty, let alone the wealthy families in the local area. But she still had some impression of the surname Jin. Previously, the new salt making involved salt merchants. If Zhanfeiyu remembers correctly, four
Among the great salt merchants, there is a surname from Jin, but I don’t know if the three people in front of me are from the Jin family.
The fat shopkeeper is also tough. Jinyuzhai is a century-old shop. Since it is the largest Jinshi antique shop in Huai'an Prefecture, it must have something to do with the yamen, not to mention that the fat shopkeeper is responsible for this matter.
"Since that's the case, we can only go to the yamen." The fat shopkeeper said coldly and asked the two guys to come over, "Pack up the things and let's go to the yamen!"
Jin Baozhen endured the pain in her butt and smiled viciously at Zhan Feiyu, "You can wait for the jail time!"
On the first day of coming to Huai'an Mansion, I came to a one-day tour of the government office because of the Xinglong Inn courtyard. Zhan Feiyu was really not afraid and grinned, "Miss Jin, please worry about yourself. You are so old, if you go to the jail
I took it in for a few days and could only be an old girl in the Jin family in the future.”
Even if the Daqing Dynasty allowed women to study, they could go out, but Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism were still orthodox. Zhang Guantong, the only daughter of the prefect Zhang, wanted to study in the academy, but was hindered by Mrs. Zhang's attempt to die on the grounds of showing up in public.
If Jin Baozhen really went to the lobby, no matter what the reason was, it would be hindered to her reputation. Generally, families who value rules would never choose her as a daughter-in-law.
"Better worry about yourself!" Jin Baozhen, who was sure to win, smiled proudly, looking forward to Zhan Feiyu's miserable end.
Originally, ordinary litigation cases would be handled by Proxy Sun. The fat shopkeeper and Proxy Sun also had some friendship. They glanced at Jin Baozhen and the other two who were on the carriage and whispered to Zhan Feiyu, "Miss, don't worry,
When you arrive at the government office, you just need to tell the truth."
"Thank you for your advice from the shopkeeper, I've recorded it." Zhan Feiyu nodded and said, "Why do I pick two more items later and the shopkeeper will give you a discount price?"
Speaking of which, Zhan Feiyu is also a disaster. Who would have wanted to go to the yamen, especially a girl? Zhan Feiyu's departure was also a shame to the fat shopkeeper. After all, although the conflict arose because of Zhan Feiyu, a pile of boxes is there.
In the hands of the shopkeeper, Jin Baozhen was pushing people, and it was reasonable that Zhan Feiyu really didn't go to the yamen.
The fat shopkeeper didn't expect that Zhan Feiyu was still thinking about the price cut at this time, so he gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, what do you like when you come back? I won't make a fortune for a tael of silver to sell it to you."
...
A moment later, Huai'an Prefecture Prison.
Zhan Feiyu looked at the dim prison that was emitting a scent of embarrassment and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't I a witness? Why should I go to the prison?"
"Shut up!" The jailer shouted angrily, and the big knife in his hand knocked on the prison door warningly, "Everyone comes in, don't blame the official for being too careless!"
"Oh, why did you catch two girls?" Wang Er laughed, looked at Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan with lustful eyes, and finally stayed on He Nuan.
Huai'an Prefecture has good security. If a woman commits a crime, she will basically be punished by a stick in the hall or will be punished by a silver. If she is really a female prisoner in a major case, there is a separate cell next to the prison, and there is a special woman in the yamen responsible for custody.
.
Liu Po, who was guarding Nu Qiu, was an introverted but upright person. If Zhan Feiyu was sent to Liu Po for no reason, she would definitely ask the chief officer for a clear understanding, so she could only be temporarily detained here.
"Open the prison door." The prison guard shook his palm at Wang Er.
Several prisoners immediately understood that it was made by Wu Tongzhi. I don’t know how these two people offended Lord Wu.
Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan walked in, the prison door slammed, then locked it up again, and several prison guards strode away.
Zhan Feiyu took a look at the straw on the ground. It was probably the new straw that was made after the autumn harvest this year. It looked clean. Zhan Feiyu sat down, "If I hadn't seen Master Chu, I would have suspected him and the teacher.
If you have a grudge, isn’t it going to take personal revenge?"
"There is someone in the yamen of Miss Jin, and the official position is probably quite large." Even though He Nuan knew that there were corrupt officials, he had never seen such malicious revenge.
Miss Jin and the other two got on the carriage and took the lead. Zhan Feiyu and the fat shopkeeper came over. Jin Yuzhai was only three streets away from Huai'an Prefecture, and it was less than a quarter of an hour.
But who knew that as soon as he arrived at the yamen, the fat shopkeeper learned from a constable that Sun Tuiwang had entered the leave. Before the fat shopkeeper could ask a few more questions, the four yamen runners came over with a fierce look and had to be held without saying a word.
He took Zhan Feiyu to the prison.
Judging from this fierce and unreasonable attitude, if Zhan Feiyu dares to resist, the four yamen runners can kill Zhan Feiyu on the spot.
"Since you come, you will be at ease." Zhan Feiyu smiled indifferently. With the temptation of 500,000 taels of silver, the court will definitely send someone here soon.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake. The imperial merchant Liu family should not be underestimated. It is not small if there is no 100,000 taels of silver. Moreover, the relationship between the prefect Chu and the Liu family must be good. It is probably not easy to collect cash at that time. In the officialdom
What the Chinese guys are best at is playing past the ball.
Zhan Feiyu looked at the dim cell and couldn't help laughing. As the saying goes, it's easy to invite Buddha and send him to Buddha. Once he sits in this prison, the prefect Chu wants to be able to do everything, or help the Liu family, so it won't work.
"When Asheng comes, ask Asheng to bribe the prison guards and bring my book in." Zhan Feiyu told He Nuan.
"Miss, are you planning to live for a long time?" He Nuan looked at Zhan Feiyu in surprise. When she was sent by Master Qi, although the lady's food, clothing, housing and transportation were not very particular, it was similar to that of ordinary rich children, but this prison?
It’s not that He Nuan can’t bear to suffer, but she really can’t bear to bear to suffer. She doesn’t even have a place to sleep in the prison and has no quilt. She can only sleep on the straw without thinking about eating. She doesn’t have to scrape her throat.
It's just bad.
He Nuan wanted to leave Huaian Mansion as soon as possible because he could only eat vegetarian food in the inn, but now he has no clean vegetarian food.
"It's probably half a month." Zhan Feiyu estimated the time, and looked at He Nuan frowned and couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, live here at least at least be clean, and the Liu family who saves you will come to your door again."
Before, Liu Hejin visited late at night. Although he returned in vain, it involved 500,000 taels of silver. The Liu family would definitely take action. Living in Xinlong Inn is definitely unbearable. Zhan Feiyu felt that it was better to have a cell, at least it was clean.
, if you give enough money, you won’t be afraid of having no food or drinking.
After Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan were captured by the yamen runners, the fat shopkeeper was really panicked, but he couldn't find the person from Sun Tuan. The fat shopkeeper stuffed ten taels of silver ingots into Wang Er's hand, "Although that lady is from another place
Yes, it's not bad for money. I just spent 4,000 taels in the shop."
Wang Er was stunned for a moment, four thousand taels? Suddenly, he felt that the ten taels of silver he had just received in his arms was no longer good. The little girl looked no different from his niece, and she was just a little whiter and beautiful. This attack was four.
Thousands of taels.
"I'll do some things." The fat shopkeeper also took the initiative and stuffed another 100 taels of silver to Wang Er.
"Okay, don't worry, the girl is locked up and will not be punished." Wang Er received the silver note, but he didn't take the silver note alone, and he had to get some for Zhan Feiyu.
The quilt and food were divided into one more part of the remaining jailers.
After the fat shopkeeper left, Wang Er immediately found the prison head and handed over one hundred taels of silver. "Matou, there have been many people coming to Huaian Mansion these days. Could that little girl inside have a big background, right?
”
Because during Liu Hefeng's funeral, outsiders in Huai'an Prefecture filled all the restaurants and inns, and later people could only spend money to live in the homes of the people. Although most of the people who interacted with the Liu family were merchants, some officials were also children.
For example, Qiu Dingsi and Zhang Changsong before, their parents were inconvenient to come forward due to their identity reasons, so they asked their children to come to Huai'an Mansion to pay their respects.
Ma Laotuo nodded in understanding. They were pawns. After the orders above came down, they could only obey. If something went wrong, they would be the little people who were pushed to take the blame.
