Thinking of this, Li Gaoyou couldn't help but admire Li Changrong and said: "Uncle still understands that my nephew is far behind." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Changrong smiled slightly and said: "There are some things that I can't understand or understand, I have to experience it myself, then I will realize that Uncle I have also walked through the ghost gate countless times before the gate, and I have only realized some fur, and the road in the future still depends on you to walk by yourself!" ”

"My nephew understands, my nephew understands." Li Gaoyou said.

After a long time, the carriage stopped at a generous mansion, and the mansion was written with two big characters "Ai Fu", yes, this is the uncle Ai Zhao's family of Zhao Xiangen, the head of the county government, it turns out that Ai Zhao is Li Changrong's owner!

This is also understandable, Ai Zhao, as a scholar, has always been self-sustaining identity, businessmen have a low status, and have always been looked down upon by literati, for thousands of years, businessmen have been scolded by them for not having a good thing, a copper smell, and literati are ashamed to be with businessmen!

Of course, this Ai Zhao also wants to be faced, and naturally he also makes a clean and lofty appearance, regards money as dung, and has always disdained to deal with those businessmen.

But having said that, businessmen make money after all! Money is a good thing, and a few people in Jinshan Yinhai don't love it! These literati scolded the businessmen while envying them in their hearts, what should they do! This is not difficult for the pride of these days, isn't it over if you hide behind the scenes, and you don't show up.

So you will see that all the big businessmen, there will be people with fame and official status standing behind them to support them, otherwise, no matter how big the businessman is, he is also a fat pig in the eyes of the powerful.

Li Changrong and Li Gao followed the subordinates in Ai Zhao's mansion into the mansion, and soon, Ai Zhao met the two of them in his study.

At this time, Ai Zhao sat on the chair, his eyes closed, his face was as usual, and he didn't like or be angry.

"Dare to ask the owner to let the little one come over, but is there something wrong?" Li Changrong asked softly.

Ai Zhao opened his eyes slightly at this time, looked at Li Changrong, and then said: "The housekeeper checked the accounts and found that there were more than ten expenses in the accounts that were filled with gift money, what is going on?" There are a lot of gift money, and as much as sixty taels have been given, and the time is two or three months, why is this? ”

Li Changrong said: "If you go back to the owner, this is all a happy event for the old ghost to help the tiger master, and the pawnshop of the owner is on the territory of the old ghost gang, so he followed the group." ”

When Ai Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, when did these hooligans dare to scrape the skin and scrape themselves!

Ai Zhao said: "My Ai Zhao's shop still needs money? What is he a ruffian! I even shaved more than a dozen times without any scruples, I really can't be fooled! That ruffian is the country man named Wanhua? ”

Li Gaoyou on the side was already a little frightened and his throat was dry, but fortunately there was no point for him to speak here, and Li Changrong brought him here to see the world and practice his courage.

Li Changrong said with a frightened face: "Back to the owner, it is that person, this person is quite elusive, once he killed the old ghost gang boss Cai Ye if he didn't agree with him, and the little one didn't dare to offend, so he just followed the salute, and hoped that the proprietor would not be strange, and the proprietor would not be blamed." ”

Ai Zhao snorted, and then said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, a country man was lucky for a while, but he forgot his identity, and I really have no one to eat!" ”

After speaking, Ai Zhao's face softened, and he asked again: "These are all trivial matters, and the accounts of the two jewels, how come they are all the same goods, the same silver, or received in one day, a full four thousand four hundred taels of silver, so much, which one sold it, do you know?" ”

Li Changrong took out a small square scarf from his sleeve and wiped it on his forehead, and said nervously: "Back to the owner, the person who sold the jewelry is this tiger master, and he sold the jewelry to the small one twice that day, and the small one saw that it was very profitable, so he accepted it." ”

When Ai Zhao heard this, he immediately frowned and asked, "Why did that horseman sell it twice, and what was the reason for that day?" ”

Li Changrong then slowly told about Wanhua's sale of jewelry that day, of course, Li Changrong did not mention the matter of adding two hundred taels of silver later, directly saying that the jewelry was still in good condition, and it was a lot, so he offered two thousand two hundred taels of silver.

The more Ai Zhao listened, the more angry he became, and finally he slapped it on the table, only to hear the sound of "pop", and then looked at Ai Zhao, who was already angry and lost his former demeanor.

Ai Zhao said angrily: "I'm angry, I'm angry, he doesn't know that the puppet is so deceived by me, if he takes it out directly, how can he let his puppet sell it at such a price, it's really unreasonable!" ”

Ai Zhao kept walking back and forth in the study, and scolded: "How can I tolerate him like this!" Now I heard that he has contracted the acres of land in four or five surrounding villages, and this is to dig up the lifeblood of my squire's family! If others do the same, we and other squires will not be able to live! ”

This is no wonder Ai Zhao is so angry, the county government of the Ming Dynasty, there are only so many other people, and it is not enough to collect the imperial grain every year, so the county government will entrust the squires from all over the country to collect it on their behalf, which gives the squires the opportunity to get their hands on their own.

The common people don't know anything, how much the imperial grain pays, how to pay it, that's all the squire's mouth, don't look at their usual amiable faces, a picture of worrying about the country and the people, once it comes to their interests, it doesn't matter how much, all the relationships that can be used are used, and no matter how big the cost, it must trample the other party to death!

Now Wanhua is doing such a thing, although the land under Wanhua's package is not requisitioned by Ai Zhao, but once others follow the example, it will be a big deal, that is, it will touch their own interests, the so-called world squire is a family, this is the truth.

Ai Zhao was angry for a long time and didn't put down the fire, and finally Ai Zhao said fiercely: "I want to see how long that horseman can be rampant!" When the imperial grain is collected, I will let him die without a place to bury!" A country man who has forgotten his identity! ”

Li Changrong was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak for a long time, and Li Gaoyou saw that his uncle was like this, and he was even more frightened and his feet trembled, and he was in a cold sweat.

In the end, Ai Zhao saw Li Changrong and the two of them like this, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with them anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go back." ”

"Yes, host." Li Changrong was like being amnestied, and hurriedly bowed out.

Li Gaoyou also followed him out, not daring to leave one step further.
