Chapter 61: Where the dust falls, there is a lot of mood

The next day, the person who came to contact Mi Fan was Song Jinggong, and the two of them talked in the cabin for three hours before they had something to eat.

The others were caught after running some distance, and by the time they returned, they had already changed to a general, telling them that the previous general had been arrested, bribed, and fled.

It turns out that more evidence is needed, but now it's simple, why did you run without committing a crime? Search, these people were escorted to search their homes, and the home naturally could not be so clean, for example, there were some illegal weapons in the nursing home, such as some cultural relics from other countries in the house, and the house was built in a discordant manner.

And so on these were found out, and the previous escape confirmed the crime of colluding with the enemy country, these people were escorted to the yamen of Sanshui County in a panic, not Dingping, nor the state capital, the reason is that they came out of the first Linshui in Sanshui County, and they suspected that they had any secret connection with the first Linshui family.

The interrogation official was not the original lord Bo Zhaoxiang, but the person sent by the state, this was the result of Li Xun's personal discussion with his father, Li Xun and his father only said 'nonsense' after hearing Li Xun's plan, and he didn't care about it, he had long seen that this Jingshui boat was not pleasing to the eye.

Dominate the Jingshui River, the annual tax is so little, no matter whether the year is good or bad, always find all kinds of reasons to shirk, let them help transport some grain from Sichuan and Shu during the drought, and also negotiate the price, saying that there is little water, the bottom of the boat is easy to break, and the price of grain rises elsewhere during the drought.

Now you don't have to break it, and you don't have to worry about price increases.

What's more important is that Li Xun's father, that is, the prince, felt that this set of tactics was used, and the Zhang family's methods were revealed.

The Sanshui County Yamen began to ask about the case, and it was really like the general who talked to Mi Fan who thought about it, first he convicted him of the crime and exterminated his family, and then after these businessmen gave a little benefit, he was sentenced to not knowing the details, and he was beheaded and exiled.

Collected most of the things, but did not continue to study what property the merchants had outside, the status of the merchants was not high, how dare they say anything more to the government, they couldn't understand those things, but they did run away, so they had to admit the light crimes, only to copy the house, copy and copy, they still have some livelihood outside, and they can live well after exile.

When they were taken to the cell and sent to the capital with an excerpt, the boat travelers led by Guo Jian regretted that they now knew the reason for the incident, and they were arrested and interrogated because they went out from the first house in Linshui, but after they were sentenced, the shopkeeper of the first house in Linshui did not have anything.

"I'm not convinced, isn't it because the Zhang family took refuge in a waiting master? How else could it be? His family's business is so big, and I haven't seen anyone say that he is a businessman. ”

A merchant cowered in a corner of the cell, muttering there, the location was not bad, there was a place to lean, far from the toilet.

Another businessman next to him thought clearly, "Don't complain, it's useless, the Zhang family's business is not under the name of the master's family, they are not businessmen, they are officials, why didn't you see Ma Rong?" Where did he go? ”

"He jumped into the water, when we ran forward, I saw him, running to the upper reaches of the Naluo water, as soon as he took off his clothes, he entered the water, who made him have a good water nature, and he was bold, it seems that he was not caught, and his family did not see it, it seems that he is not slow, and he went back and took his family away.

If he is not caught, then he is lucky, and when he goes elsewhere, he changes his name, and there is no need to count on the things at home, and the business used elsewhere is better than those of us who are exiled, and I don't know where he will be exiled. ”

The businessman who spoke earlier really knew a lot, and he didn't forget to look at others when he ran away.

Guo Jian was the one who felt the most suffocating among these individuals, and when he heard others say that Ma Rong had run away, he said with a gloomy face: "Usually he is also the most slippery, and he doesn't know how to call us when diving, who of you knows what he is doing elsewhere?" Report to the government and let the government clean him up. ”

Everyone shook their heads, everyone would do this kind of thing, and it was never possible for other people to know, even now they didn't know how much net worth the people around them were.

"And Mi Fan, he doesn't know where to run, saying that he won't run with us, maybe he has already thought of a way out, and he shouldn't have followed him before." Guo Jian thought of Mi Fan again at this time, in the Sanshui Yamen, he didn't see Mi Fan's figure, let alone his family.

Others did not echo him at this time, everyone understands that without Mi Fan, they will not have so much money now, Mi Fan mentioned several times not to go against the Zhang family, and no one wants to listen, now everyone only regrets, if it was Mi Fan who listened to it, where would it become like this.

Guo Jian regretted a little when he said this, looking at everyone's reaction, he felt that he was a little isolated, and hurriedly said: "It's better to exile far, let's all go to one place, and then the capital can't be managed, we can still do something together." ”

After saying this, he thought that he would be able to get the approval of others, but everyone remained silent, and some even leaned against the wall in the corner, showing that they were asleep.

Guo Jian was treated like this, and he didn't want to say anything, when he followed Mi Fan in the past, these people were always so respectful when they saw him, but now it's gone, and while chanting Mi Fan's name, he also narrowed his eyes.

"Mi Fan, you will still be responsible for the affairs of the boat in the future, but you have to sign this deed first, just like we said on the boat, you can't fight the Zhang family, the Zhang family has a powerful master, it is very easy for you and me to clean up."

In a pavilion in the lake behind Xiaoluoshui, only Song Jinggong and Mi Fan were there, and on the table made of stone was a deed, and Song Jinggong was waiting for Mi Fan to sign it.

Mi Fan picked up the paperwork with a calm face, scanned it from beginning to end, and asked, "After my son is admitted to the imperial examination, will he really let our family break away from the Zhang family?" ”

"Naturally, I won't lie to you, your son is only seven years old this year, is it possible that he will be able to take the exam next year? The age is not enough, and when he reaches the right age, he may not be able to be admitted, not all people can be like my lord, saying that the first tribute is the first tribute, and saying that the champion is the champion.

At that time, you can also atone for the sins of the Zhang family, and don't forget when you go back, how many skilled craftsmen will send some good ones to Xiao Houye, and that dock also has a part of the Zhang family. ”

When Song Jinggong said these words, he didn't need others to teach him, he turned out to be a powerful person, it was nothing more than that he met a more powerful person, and he usually started to do things, as long as the capital was enough, he was generally told, and he could do a good job in other details.

Mi Fan looked at the document with his eyes, nodded slightly, picked up the pen stained with ink next to him, wrote down his name, and pressed it down in the box of ink with his hand, and pressed it on the top of the document, in triplicate, one for the Zhang family, one for Mi Fan himself, and one for Sanshui County.

The people who didn't use their teeth this time, after all, there are too many things for them to know.

Seeing that Mi Fan pressed the handprint, Song Jinggong was also relieved, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and said to him: "After I go back, it is estimated that it will take two years to build a sea boat, and then you can do it according to what is said above, this is part of the details, and when you need it, someone will send you other parts." ”

As soon as Mi Fan heard the details of the sea transportation, he hurriedly took it and looked at it, looked at it a few times, and then stopped and said: "It's really different, this is the real money, right?" The last one, if someone else used ....... ”

"Whoever uses it will wait to pay for death, when the Zhang family is really so easy to deceive? There is also the matter of exchanging the goods of the small boat and the big ship back and forth, and build a wharf in Dingping, which can be a small boat or a large ship's goods in the warehouse of the wharf, and then exchange them with each other. ”

Song Jinggong likes this kind of thing, maybe he was used to deceiving before, whenever Zhang Xiaobao made a move, he followed and watched, as if he also made a move, always so relaxed, and always so useful.

Mi Fan thought for a moment and responded: "I know how to do it, is it that the dock warehouse in Dingping will account for a large part of it at that time?" ”

"No, we don't stretch out our hands there, the state government has helped a lot this time, giving most of the benefits to the state government, leaving the remaining part to Dingping, and even Luochuan County has to give a little, passing by other people's places, if you want to get rich, you can't eat alone."

Just like you, I've already given you a chance to compensate for the deal, so why do you have to make a die-ordination effort? The Zhang family is reluctant to take the initiative to cause trouble, but they are not afraid of things, you were able to give a part of it to the state government, how can there be today? ”

Song Jinggong has gradually become familiar with the Zhang family's style of acting, and every time he gives enough kindness first, but some people regard this as weakness, and they have to try it, but the person who tries not only does not get benefits, but wants to catch something.

Mi Fan also figured it out at this time, in the past, they didn't care about this, and put all their minds on making money, thinking that as long as they made money, they would snatch a certain amount of money, and the less others earned, the more they earned, the more successful they were.

"I know, let it out, and don't keep it for myself." Mi Fan thought about it.

"That's it, as long as we build the sea boat, we can make more money in the future, don't care about this little money, the academy over there is about to start recruiting, it's better to send your son over."

Song Jinggong suddenly thought of the academy and said a word to Mi Fan.
