Chapter 477: An Unknown New Life

Guangzhou, the prison of the Criminal Department, Zhong Shangwei came out of the cell with his sleeves folded, and his eyes were pierced by the sun. He was prosecuted by Moshan Township, Qujiang County, for the two crimes of "contempt" and "bribery", but the lawyer who came from nowhere helped him erase the crime of bribery, and he was only despised and imprisoned for 10 days. Also because of the investigation of Deng Xiaotian's case, these ten days were spent in the prison of the Criminal Department.

The prison of the Criminal Department is the former Guangzhou government prison, the environment has been cleaned and reformed, although the jailer has not become kind, but it is not as big as before, but it is still hell for Zhong Shangwei. After ten days of staying, Zhong Shangwei's fat body also lost weight, and he felt that he had walked before the ghost gate closed, and his heart had been sublimated like Yang Chun's broken family before.

Accustomed to the light, the tearful Zhong Shangwei pinched his fists and said: "God tosses me Zhong Shangwei, he will definitely bring me great wealth!" ”

He naturally didn't know that if it weren't for Li Shi's tone of doing things, he would have to be a punching bag for the people's grievances, and if he wasn't sent to Shilu to mine, he would have been stripped of his family property and thrown to Nanyang to farm.

He didn't even know that when Li Shi was looking at the case file of Deng Xiaotian, he was surprised to find that the Zhong Shangwei who was involved in the case was the original "old friend" Zhong Shang, and the siphon said to Yang Shi, the inner court secretary, "Look at this person's situation."

As soon as he "looked", the emperor's meaning was passed down layer by layer, and it was a little out of shape. Si took a cursory check, oh, this guy was still a fellow villager with the official family before, so he had to take care of it. Following the procedure, Si found a lawyer for Zhong Shangwei and helped him erase the crime of bribery. No, this crime is enough for Zhong Shangtai to squat for a year and a half in prison.

Although Yinghua advocated the system, this road is still too long, and Li Xian naturally does not know, and he changed Zhong Shang's life with a word. For Zhong Shang, he had a feeling: This guy is really a little strong, and he is still alive and well. And this feeling of his has also become an example of the "uncertainty principle". Zhong is the master of Zhong, and because of his curious exploration, fate turned on a broad road.

Out of the prison of the Criminal Department, Zhong Shangwei went straight to the Chengkai Mansion Hall.

Li Shi has been proclaimed emperor, the country name is Ying, and the previous Yingde County will be renamed Changge and become Chengtianfu. Just like Guangzhou changed its name to Ying Tianfu, as the general line of this dynasty.

Chengtianfu Hall is a place of friendship between British and German industry and commerce in Guangzhou, and Zhong Shangwei is worried about Jiaozhi, and feels that it should be a big stage for him to show his talents.

The streets of Guangzhou are bustling, and on Huiai Street, which has been doubled, horse-drawn carriages are constantly flowing, and bells are ringing to remind pedestrians. The gray-clothed patrol police officer was also standing at the intersection where people and vehicles were coming and going, waving flags to command. Every once in a short time, horse-drawn carriages were stopped to allow pedestrians gathered on both sides of the avenue to cross the street.

Squeezed shoulder to shoulder in the crowd of people crossing the street, Zhong Shangwei carefully guarded his money bag. Looking at a man in front of him wearing a worsted cotton jacket, he was carrying a load of live fish, Zhong Shanghe secretly cursed people's hearts, can you wear this jacket with mud legs?

As soon as he was imprisoned, the servants ran away one by one, not relying on distant relatives, he didn't even have anyone to take care of Qujiang's family business, and the fishmonger in front of him still had a bright smile on his face, Zhong Shangxuan suddenly felt that this person was extremely hateful.

Seeing that across the street, Zhong Shang's eyes slipped away, and he took an extra step under his feet, stumbling on the side. The man pounced on the fishmonger, and there was a bang, and the water splashed and the fish jumped, and while the fishmonger and the man were supporting each other, and the people around them were also helping to pick up the fish, Zhong Shang's steps were brisk, humming a little song, and he passed by.

"Yuexiu Times" and "Shilin", if you haven't gotten the question list yet, hurry up and buy the newspaper, if you don't buy it, you won't have a list!"

"Can you hold a musket, long live the lord let us make our own decisions, anyone with a registered status can vote, everyone is a royal history!"

Just as he was about to enter the hall, the shouts of the nearby newsboys stopped Zhong Shang's footsteps, and when he shouted to the newsboys, he saw that several newspapers were printed in red with the eye-catching headlines of "Firearms are forbidden, and the government and the opposition are discussing."

Zhong Shangwei took a cool breath, and the people decided whether they could hold firearms!? It's worth it!? When the time comes, it's Deng Xiaotian all over the place, what does the Li family kid think!?

Seeing that he was stunned and didn't buy it, the newsboy shouted dissatisfiedly: "Master, do you want to buy it, and you want to rub the three-penny newspaper?" ”

Zhong Shang pursed his lips, this kid, he is really uneducated, three cents, right, the old man smacked you thirty wen, see if you kneel or not!

As soon as I took out my wallet, my face suddenly turned pale, and I was over, I was careful in every way, but I was still touched away! , the newsboy's disdain smashed into his head again: "There are many people who eat white food, and there are many people who read white newspapers, but look at the white newspapers you are dressed like such a person, it is really the first time to see them, and the people's hearts are not ancient......" Zhong Shangwei pale face, sneered into the hall, and turned around a few times. Originally, he was still lying on his back, but the empty waist bag gradually pulled up his courage, master, I have passed all the winds and waves, and now there is nothing to be afraid of!?

Finding the guy in the hall, Zhong Shangwei said with a grin: "Is Old Man Peng here?" Which Peng? Of course, it is Peng Xiangye's clan elder, Yingde Peng's old man! ”

He has a basic IQ, and he doesn't dare to pull out the fact that he and Li Xi are fellow villagers. In the early years, he had a "life-changing" friendship with Li Shi's kid, and now that he is the emperor, it is estimated that his eyes are high and his heart is wide, so he doesn't take his little ant in his eyes. didn't kill his whole family, he already felt that God blessed him, but he didn't have the courage to take out this "friendship" to show off.

But Yingde Peng's family is quite familiar with him, and he has been in contact with him before, and he has asked himself if he has not offended him in a big way, and this friendship should be safe and effective.

The fat man's voice was high-pitched, and everyone at the table upstairs who looked like a wealthy businessman was talking and laughing, and was talking about the pros and cons of people holding firearms, when they were interrupted by the sound of Zhong Shang.

A fifty-year-old elegant man stared at it, raising his eyebrows, he was really an acquaintance.

"Master Peng, the posterity Zhong is on the throne, this is a ...... for help."

Zhong Shangwei didn't have that good luck, and he was able to directly meet the old man Peng who was retired in Baicheng, but he was also lucky, Peng Xianzhong's father Peng Yide was in the guild hall.

Zhong Shangwei also showed his news, and when he saw Peng Yide, he simply bowed for a long time, and the corners of his eyes were still looking at people's faces, planning to kneel down if there was no reaction.

"I heard that you are still involved in the Tian Xiaotian case, so you actually walked around like a nobody, letting the people know who you are, and I am afraid that you will not be killed on ......the spot" Peng Yide was well-informed, and Zhong Shangwei knelt down with a puff, he was frightened.

"Okay, Deng Xiaotian's matter, you are also a bitter party, and I will send you some rituals if I am also a fellow villager with you. Peng Mou also joked just now, and now the people are talking about firearms, and they don't have time to deal with you anymore. Seeing that you are so comfortable, the official family obviously has no intention of bothering with you, so you ...... Let's live by ourselves, I will definitely let people get a share of profits and enjoy more blessings...... "Peng Yide is a very person now, let the family have a bell to take the upper position, and he is going to give this guy a few hundred taels of silver to send things away.

But he didn't want Zhong to say to the top of the position: "I don't dare to accept the gift of Master Peng, I heard that there is a new coal mine industry in Jiaozhi, but I have to form a company, and I hope that Master Peng will bring a ......."

Peng Yide was stunned for a moment, this guy's nose is really bright, the Hongji mining area in Jiaozhi has been occupied by hundreds of members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and these big businessmen are the general contractor, and then subcontract the lot in their hands.

Now the subcontracting rights of each piece of land have been speculated to three or five thousand taels of silver. Of course, his Peng family naturally holds a large area of mining land, and he is thinking about whether to throw it out and subcontract it, or do it directly.

But just by virtue of the previous friendship, I want to take advantage of this, which is too self-righteous.

Peng Yide was dissatisfied in his heart, so he naturally excused himself.

With such a face, how can Zhong Shangwei not look at it? Firmly bid: "Five thousand taels!" ”

Peng Yide thought to himself, you dead fat man makes me unhappy, my lord, my mood, I don't want to change any amount of money!

Zhong Shangwei continued: "Seven thousand taels! ”

The corners of Peng Yide's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

Zhong Shangwei didn't just want to make money, he felt that Guangdong was no longer a place to stay for a long time, so he thought about simply going to stand on his toes, gritted his teeth, and spread his palms, "Eight thousand taels!" Plus Qujiang County's ten hectares of fields and five into the house! ”

Peng Yide snorted and hugged his arms.

Zhong Shangwei erupted, threw out the fear in his soul, and said in a trembling voice: "I have had a relationship with the current Long Live Lord...... The friendship of life, Deng Xiaotian's big case, long live Lord has protected me, cooperating with you Master Peng, it should not only bring the benefits of money! ”

Peng Yide was stunned for a moment, then looked up and laughed. I am the father of the prime minister, and I still need you to help a small landlord get closer to the long live lord!? Besides, the earlier grievances between you and Long Live Lord, although you don't know the details, it is not a good fate...... The laughter stopped abruptly, a trace of coldness floated from the bottom of his heart, Peng Yide suddenly remembered an old thing, before Li Shi established the country and became king, he was assassinated in Qingyuan, although it was a Jiangxi businessman involved, but he also went to persuade his son to draw a line with Li Shi.

People have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, Peng Yide said in his heart, a toilet chip has its use, this Zhong Fat Man may not really have any friendship with Long Live Lord. Anyway, the mining area under his own contract is also large, and he can make the same money if he divides a piece. , Peng Yide smiled: "Deal!" ”

Zhong Shangwei thus became one of the proprietors of Haoshan Coal Company.

Nearly November, Huangpu Wuyaying Spring Garden, to hold Yan Sanniang, who was pregnant in April, accompanied her for a walk by the lake, while answering her question: "Don't worry, everything is under my control." ”

Yan Sanniang frowned slightly and said, "You are in your hands, but people are not in your hands." If you let firearms wander among the people, you don't know what kind of chaos the world is, are you dizzy, how can you throw this thing out and let the people decide themselves? ”

Li Xian shook his head: "Wasn't it the same as before?" How did Deng Xiaotian hold the musket? Forbidden or forbidden, as long as it is decided by the imperial court, there will always be people who are dissatisfied. And this matter has a far-reaching impact, and it is up to me to make a conclusion today, and how many lives he lives a day must be counted on my head, so ah......"

Yan Sanniang understood, and glanced at Li Xian: "From ancient times to the present, I have never seen an emperor like you shirking your responsibilities." Forbidden or can't be forbidden, anyway, it is determined by the government and the opposition, if something happens, you don't have to bear any big responsibility, but ......" Li Xian knew that she was still worried, and comforted: "But don't worry, in the end, it will definitely not be the people who hold firearms at will, the actual situation will not be too different from now, it is estimated that there will be an extra firearm control." ”

Yan Sanniang sighed: "My husband knew that it would be such a result, so he took this matter out for discussion." Husband, you're really full of ghosts. But this matter has to be discussed, what will everyone be staring at in the future, thinking about it? What do you do? ”

Li Shi shrugged: "If I really have that kind of awareness, I, the emperor, will be much easier." ”

Seeing that Li Xian's face was full of strategizing determination, Yan Sanniang was also relieved, stroked her stomach, and said in her heart that if this was a son, she would have no regrets in her life.

"Cochin! I'm coming—"

At the same time, when he first saw the embryonic shape of Jiaozhi Hongji Port, Zhong Shangwei shouted with tears in his eyes.

"Boundless Palace...... I'm here, what does the Holy Dao Emperor look like, he is really a foot tall, with a green face and fangs? ”

At the gate of the Boundless Palace, a group of guards escorted a carriage into the middle gate, and in the carriage, a woman covered with light gauze lifted the curtains, looked at Sitong curiously, and whispered to herself.

"Shhh...... Why do you feel a chill in the back of your head? ”

Li Shi in the spring garden shivered inexplicably.
