Chapter 97 Zhou Liars Begin to Set Up a Conspiracy
Only Guan Mama and Wu Xin'an were left in the yard with clear eyes. Wu Xin'an had a thousand cups, but Guan Mama had something to do and didn't dare to drink too much. Seeing that the three of them had returned to the room, she quietly said to Wu Xin'an.
"Miss, the carriage is still in the yard!"
Wu Xinan nodded and went to the front yard with her. The carriage had already been unloaded, leaving only the carriage in the yard. The two of them went over and opened the secret wall at the bottom of the carriage. Seeing that the things were still on the yard, Guan Mama said,
"These things will not be hidden for a day, and I will not be at ease for a day. Look at where this yard is hidden?"
Wu Xinan nodded, then walked around with his hands behind his back, but he couldn't find a good place. After thinking about it, he simply pried open the Eight Immortals Table in the room and the blue bricks below, digging a big hole in the bottom, and putting everything here.
If Guan Mama did this job alone, she would probably have to do it until midnight. But Wu Xinan was very strong. Within an hour, she hid all the things, put the blue bricks back in place, poured the mud into the garden garden, and covered the tablecloth in the room, and then she would be unaware of it!
After everything was done, the two went to boil water, washed up and went to bed. Before going to bed, Guan's mother asked Wu Xin'an.
"Miss, I heard that the master punished the second and third lady again today?"
This matter must be caused by my own lady!
Wu Xinan got into the quilt and yawned, and hummed lazyly.
"They urged Hong Zhipeng to come and ask me for trouble, and I can be regarded as a reward for one reward!"
Wu Xinan lay in the quilt and smiled proudly.
"Hehe! I'll take them together and take the opportunity to move it out. I'll kill two birds with one stone!"
Who said that Wu Xin'an would only prevent his fists from being tempted?
Wu Hongwen rested at home for a few days, and finally got relieved of his fatigue. Early in the morning that day, he took his transfer document to Nanjing Ministry of Justice to report. As soon as he left, a guest came to the door, but it was Zhou Maoshan!
This time, the man surnamed Zhou brought a lot of gifts to the door. He was already familiar with the Wu family on the boat. This time, Wu Ping, who came to guard the gate, hurriedly greeted him with a smile when he saw him.
"Master Zhou, you are here. I haven't seen you these days. Are you all right?"
Zhou Maoshan said with a smile,
"I'll bother Brother Ping to ask, but everything is fine!"
This is what Mr. Zhou is good at this. He is polite when he sees anyone, saying that he never looks at people in his nostrils!
Because Wu Hongwen was not here, Wu Ping went in and reported to Xiao Cheng family. Xiao Cheng family sent someone to report to Mrs. Fu. The male host in the family was not here, so he could only come out to entertain guests. Wu Huaide was the eldest son, so he naturally did not want to accept the emperor. He came out to see Zhou Shishu, and Zhou Maoshan smiled.
"There are my best friends who have been taking care of you all the way, and I will come to thank you today!"
This made the followers offer the gifts. Wu Huaide politely took over the things. Zhou Maoshan wanted to see the old lady again and kowtowed to the old lady. Mrs. Fu was naturally very happy. When she saw him coming in to lift her robe, she bowed and hurriedly asked someone to help him.
"Get up quickly and see the seat!"
Someone brought a stool over. After Zhou Maoshan sat down, Mrs. Fu asked him very much, where to live in Nanjing, how to eat and wear, what are his plans, etc.
Zhou Maoshan responded,
"You always ask, everything is fine. Xiaoke is now living in a friend's house..."
Mrs. Fu said angrily,
"If you ask you to live in the house, you won't agree. How could you... your friend's house can live in our house?"
Zhou Maoshan hurriedly said with a smile,
"Where is the old lady saying? I am naturally undesirable to be able to linger in the old lady's place. But Xiaosheng's friend was told by a letter earlier and he would come to Nanjing to visit..."
Mrs. Fu asked casually,
"Who is your friend? How can you make a living in Nanjing?"
Zhou Maoshan thought about it and responded,
"It's not that I'm a big shot in front of the old lady. The friend of Xiaosheng is really famous in Nanjing. He is the manager of the Wei State Mansion in Nanjing..."
"The Duke of Wei?"
Speaking of Duke of Wei, he was the first person in the legend of the twelve heroes of Daqing. The various legends of this person have been circulated in countless versions by the folk storyteller. Even rural villagers can tell two allusions.
The Wei State Mansion has naturally no longer had the heroic martial arts of his ancestors. Although the descendants are not successful, the relationship between the Duke of Wei State Mansion and the Daqing royal family is different, even the rotten ship has three kilograms of nails. For small officials of the sixth rank like Wu Hongwen, the Wei State Mansion is a huge creature, and they can only look up and dare not get close to it.
Therefore, when Mrs. Fu heard that she was from the Duke of Wei's mansion, she couldn't help but "respect" and said in surprise,
"Your friend is actually from the Duke of Wei's Mansion?"
Zhou Maoshan smiled,
“It’s…”
"Then what's the matter with this person in charge of the mansion?"
Zhou Maoshan smiled,
"My friend is the manager of the second wife. He is very smart and capable. He specializes in making some money for the Duke of Wei's mansion..."
"oh……"
When Mrs. Fu heard about making money, she immediately became interested.
"What business did your friend run for?"
"this……"
Zhou Maoshan hesitated a little and looked around. Mrs. Fu understood and turned around and ordered the people around her.
"You guys go down!"
The girls and mothers around her retreated when they heard this. Zhou Maoshan saw everyone down, and then he smiled and said,
"If someone else asks Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng will not say this even if he beats him to death, but the old lady is different from others. You are as close to Xiaoke as a child and nephew. You asked him. If Xiaoke hides it, it will be a wolf-hearted..."
After saying that, he leaned forward and whispered,
"My friend sells private salt for the Duke of Wei!"
When Mrs. Fu heard this, she thought she had heard it wrong and asked again.
“What are you doing?”
Zhou Maoshan leaned over and said,
"Private salt!"
Mrs. Fu heard it clearly this time and immediately said in fear,
"He dares to do this, so he is not afraid of beheading the king's law?"
Zhou Maoshan responded with a smile,
"You have been in the back house for a long time and have never left the house. The young student doesn't hide it from you. I don't know how many people are doing this!"
Mrs. Fu's face changed even more. When her own son was in Hangzhou Prefecture, she was a man of a simplified management. She could interfere with the public security, preventing private private sale, and supervising market prices. Over the years, Mrs. Fu didn't understand it, but she was shocked and suspicious.
"No! Then the Duke of Wei's Mansion is both a noble and a royal relative. If you do this violation of the royal law, aren't you afraid that the emperor will know?"
Zhou Maoshan smiled even more happily as she said this.
"Old lady! Old lady... the people dare not do such things, and the officials cannot do them, but it is only the nobles and royals who do it, that is not a disaster at all!"
After saying that, I explained the current situation of the upward situation to Mrs. Fu in detail.
"...Your Majesty has been practicing Taoism for many years and has been controlled by Yan Song and his son. Yan Shifan is in power all over the world, but he can't move even if there is a group of people... They are these nobles, who rely on their ancestors to conquer the world with Taizu and Taizong, and they have been lying to eat and drink for many years. But after so many years, those old people have almost eaten. But the descendants of the family are in large numbers, and they are increasingly unable to raise their own affairs by relying on those land and shops. If they don't want to find some quick money to make a living, they are afraid that they will go to drink the northwest wind... How much money can they make in a serious business? It's not that the Duke of Wei's family is doing it, and the nobles are all involved..."
Mrs. Fu listened to it,
"The Duke of Wei's mansion is a big family, and he can't afford to support his family!"
Zhou Maoshan snorted,
"You are also a family member. You know the best how much food, clothing and chew in this family, especially the Duke of Wei's mansion, which is hundreds of people. The owner of every room must eat, and wear silk and satin..."
So I picked up a few things in the Duke of Wei's mansion and told him how to live a luxurious life to Mrs. Fu.
"Not to mention the person next to me, I am the second wife served by my friend. I have a concubine. My favorite is to eat sea bass, but this sea bass only eats fish lips. They have to eat fifteen fresh sea bass lips in one meal. This one is one tael of silver, and only one dish is fifteen taels of silver..."
Paused,
"This is just a dish, and at least eighty or ninety dishes are required for a meal. This is just a concubine in the second house. The master of the second house has an concubine in the eighteenth house!"
Mrs. Fu even forgot her tongue when she heard it, and then she glared for a while.
"This...this is too much of a loser!"
"laugh……"
Zhou Maoshan sneered,
"These people are used to living a luxurious life by relying on the glory of their ancestors. If they don't want to find money, how can they survive? Do you think they can live in three months like ordinary people? It's harder than killing them!"
Mrs. Fu shook her head repeatedly after hearing this.
"This is a violation of the king's law. If it is exposed in the future, it will be the result of the family beheading the heads!"
Zhou Maoshan shook his head repeatedly after hearing this.
"I don't know that there was such a possibility when Taizu Taizong was there before, but now I don't have such concerns!"
Mrs. Fu said strangely,
"How come... Can the kingly law passed down by ancestors be changed?"
Zhou Maoshan responded,
"Of course, it cannot be changed. Only Your Majesty is devoted to cultivating the mystery. The fairy lucidum herb that is the same price as gold is thrown into the alchemy furnace in bundles. Don't these cost money? The nobles are paying for His Majesty's expenses. His Majesty will naturally not punish them severely. As long as the trouble is not too much, he will turn a blind eye and pass..."
After saying that, he looked at Mrs. Fu with a deep meaning.
"If you don't say it before, and if you don't say it in the future, just this day, the young actor can say that they must be fine!"
"oh……"
