Bai Zhong put down the teacup and sneered, The owner will not be able to hold on? Are you kidding me? Do you know who is behind the owner?

Who?

Young mansion! Bai Zhong said loudly.

Several wealthy merchants were really shocked.

Bai Zhong smiled contemptuously, The Zhu family is rich. But no matter how rich he is, can he be richer than the young mansion?

That can't be. Wu Dabiao waved his hand and said.

Hao Shang Jia said: Knowing that behind the master is the Shaofu, the Zhu family is still fighting with the master, do you have any confidence?

yes! The Zhu family has no confidence to fight Shaofu.

Everyone was waiting for Bai Zhong's answer.

Bai Zhong snorted, What is the young mansion, it is His Majesty's private treasury. Can His Majesty's private treasury directly come forward to do business? A court official's words to compete with the people for profit can annoy His Majesty to death.

Shaofu cannot do business, but it can invest money to do business with the owner. Do you think the fight between the owner and the Zhu family is just because of business conflicts? You are overthinking the problem.

what?

Several wealthy merchants looked at each other in dismay, and subconsciously followed Bai Zhong's train of thought, and began to ponder the famous halls here.

Bai Zhong revealed a little bit, On the ground in the capital, there are many people who don't like the Zhu family. These years, the Zhu family has eaten alone, and how many people are jealous.

Oh!

The wealthy merchants suddenly realized.

It turned out that someone borrowed the owner's hand to set up a set for the Zhu family.

Maybe the person who looks the most dislike of the Zhu family is Shaofu.

The Shaofu paid the owner to let the owner and the Zhu family fight in the ring.

Thinking like this, the Zhu family is doomed to fail.

The wealthy businessmen turned their minds eighteen times, thinking that they had guessed the truth. Everyone laughed tacitly, with a look of relief.

The so-called truth in the minds of tycoons can barely be counted. Just to reverse the smooth.

It's not that some people deliberately set up tricks when they see the Zhu family's dislike to the eye.

But the owner, Gu Jiu, took the opportunity to set up a trap for the Zhu family,

And pull Shaofu into the water.

The result is the same anyway.

Bai Zhong smiled, Is it stable?

It's stable! It's stable! Several wealthy merchants laughed, feeling very stable.

Bai Zhong asked, Do you know how to tell someone?

Don't worry, Eunuch Bai, we understand the rules. He will never say a word outside.

That's good. Dong has a good project in the future, and I will remember everyone.

For the wealthy businessmen, this is a pleasant surprise.

What Eunuch Bai said is true? Is the owner really willing to give us a chance?

Bai Zhong smiled softly, Get your money ready, there will be time for you to make money.

He didn't want to say more, got up and left.

Don't look at him young, full of posture, a look that looks at the world. I learned ten percent from Gu Jiu's attitude of contempt for others.

Several well-informed businessmen were shocked by him.

After Bai Zhong left, Wu Dabiao said, As expected of someone who came out of the palace, he just has the confidence.

Who said no.

Hey, just now Eunuch Bai asked us to prepare silver, what does it mean?

What else can it mean? After the owner kills the Zhu family, it will definitely be a big fight. When we invest some money in it, we can sit back and enjoy the success. I heard people say that Yuhua Lane where we lived, we invested money in the beginning. The people who are all make a lot of money.”

I heard people say that the owner is Mrs. Zhao from Prince Ning's mansion. Is this reliable?

Reliable! I specifically asked someone to inquire about it. Eunuch Bai was working in Ning Wang's mansion earlier.

Mrs. Zhao is just a gimmick. Behind her, there are two great Buddhas, Young Master Zhao and King Ning. Uncle Cheng En is beyond his own power, and he will definitely lose against the palace.

That's right. Cheng Enbo is used to being domineering. This time he kicked the iron plate. Let's wait and watch the show.

...

After Bai Zhong left Yuhua Lane, he drove to the construction site regardless of the muddy roads outside the city.

He came to see Deng Cunli.

During this time, Deng Cunli was rooted in the construction site, where he had food and clothing.

As soon as Bai Zhong approached, he could smell the stench of sweat all over his body. Almost smothered him.

Eunuch Deng, you should pay attention to hygiene.

No time! Deng Cunli's expression was cold and rigid, What is your order, Madam?

Bai Zhong sat down opposite him, Madam told me to come and have a look, and ask Eunuch Deng what's the difficulty here?

Deng Cunli said with a stern face: It's very difficult. Even if I delay the construction period, I only have enough building materials for five days. After five days, I can only drive the refugees to the mountains to open up wasteland.

Without building materials, the construction site cannot start.

Only by digging ditches and mountains, this pure physical work can continue. All technical work has to stop.

But it takes eight or nine thousand people to open up mountains and ditches.

This means that if someone does not work, they have to go hungry.

The refugees really have no food.

One day's work, only one day's food to eat.

In addition, buying a house some time ago has emptied the savings of many refugee families.

Once they are unable to work or have food to eat, these refugees will have to rebel.

Bai Zhong hurriedly said, Madam told you to stick with it for seven to eight days. She is dealing with the Zhu family, and there will be results soon.

Deng Cunli frowned, Can't you be faster?

It can't be soon. The household tax Cao's audit is not something that happens overnight. The court officials are also paying attention to this matter, and they have already begun to argue. In addition, the Zhu family reported the wife for tax evasion and tax evasion, and the household tax Cao was ordered to audit the accounts. Of course, our Accounts are not afraid of being checked, but checking accounts takes time.”

Deng Cunli frowned, his face looked bitter.

When I stayed in the capital and took over this errand, I knew it was not easy. But still underestimated the difficulty of this errand.

He asked, In addition to checking the Zhu family's taxes, does Madam have no other way?

Yes! Madam asked me to send a message. After three days, the work will be stopped. After five days, a group of refugees will be organized to enter the city and besiege Cheng'enbo Mansion.

Deng Cunli was stunned, Madam wants refugees to besiege Cheng'enbo Mansion? Aren't you afraid of an accident? What if His Majesty asks you a crime?

Madame said she needed a reason. A reason to fight face to face.

Deng Cunli's breathing became heavy, Does Madam want to sue the imperial court?

I don't know. I just convey what Mrs. means.

After speaking, Bai Zhong took out a letter and handed it to Deng Cunli, This is given to you by the lady, remember to burn it after reading it.

Deng Cunli quickly opened the envelope and took out the letter paper.

In the letter, Gu Jiu really asked him to stop work in three days, starve the refugees for two days, arouse everyone's anger, and then besiege Cheng'enbo Mansion.

Deng Cunli's brows furrowed, and he was able to catch flies, Madam's move is a real risk.

That's why Madam asks you to control the scale. It's better to be organized and disciplined.

Deng Cunli nodded, I understand. I will follow Madam's instructions and do it well.

After Bai Zhong left, Deng Cunli directly ordered, From today onwards, the daily work volume will be halved, the meals will be halved, and the wages will be halved.

People don't know why.

Deng Cunli didn't explain at all, According to my request, hurry up! If someone is talking about it below, pay attention to guide the Zhu family.

When all the stewards heard this, they all understood.

...

After the rainstorm, it was sunny for several days.

On the construction site, the atmosphere is dignified.

Everyone's faces lost the smile and energy they used to have. Everyone's expressions were tense, as if a mysterious strand would be completely broken with a little more force.

For two consecutive days, the amount of work was halved, the food was halved, and the wages were halved, which made many refugees feel panic.

What if there is no work for one day?

What should I do if I bought a new house and I haven't lived in it yet?

Life has just had hope, do you want to go back to the past with a daily meal of porridge that is so thin that you can see the bottom of the bowl, and live a life of lying and waiting to die without seeing hope?

Do not!

don't want!

Life is just getting better, and I finally have hope. Don't go back to the past, don't be a lowly bug, a lowly refugee.

Looking at the newly built Xincunfang City, it is the future home.

Who can easily give up home?

Let's take a look at the shacks and wastelands around Fangshi.

The steward said that houses will be built here in the future.

They will have endless work, endless wages.

But the Zhu family, the Zhu family wanted to snatch the owner's property, the land and the house here. Sell ​​your house to someone else at a premium price.

These refugees will one day be driven away like livestock, and they will never settle down in the capital.

In the entire capital, only the owner is willing to sell the house to them at such a low price.

Without their owners, they are nothing.

Damn the Zhu family!

I don't know who was the first to say this repressed sentence in my heart.

Countless people cater to.

Yes, the Zhu family should be damned.

The Zhu family has seized the construction site and will definitely drive us away. Our shack will be razed to the ground.

We can't sit still.

When we enter the capital, we look for the official master. If the official master does not decide for us, we will go to the Zhu family. The Zhu family will cut our way, and we will fight them desperately.

Yes, desperately, desperately...

At first, it was just a small-scale cry.

In the end, it spread to the entire construction site, the entire shack area.

Everyone is clamoring to find the Zhu family desperately.

Many of them are calm and fearful. But their voices were too small to be ignored.

When the steward announced that because the Zhu family monopolized building materials and raised wages, the owner could not support it, and the work will be suspended tomorrow, the anger of the refugees reached a peak.

They surrounded the steward's office and asked the steward to give everyone an explanation.

Sudden shutdown, what do you eat and drink?

These days, the food has been halved, and the wages have been halved. The life has been very difficult. Now that we have to stop work, do you want to push everyone into the fire pit?

An explanation must be given.

Deng Cunli held a tin trumpet, stood on the earthen platform and said loudly: You want to explain, okay, I will explain to you. The Zhu family of Cheng'enbo's house wants to take away the entire Nanchengmen New Village, and wants to sell your house at a high price to Others, if you want to drive you all away, it doesn't matter to the North City, West City, or East City. As long as you don't get in the way outside the South City Gate.

In order to force the owner, the Zhu family resorted to despicable means, threatening all businesses to run out of stock at the construction site or raise prices. The houses in Xincun were originally sold at low prices to everyone, and the suppliers raised the price, which was equivalent to raising the cost of the house. The owner is unable to support, and can only stop work until the problem is solved.

We want to eat!

Yes, we want to eat.

Eat, eat, eat...

The refugees were angry, shouting, and impulsive.

When the fire had arrived, Deng Cunli said loudly, I'll take you to the Zhu family to beg for food, do you dare?

dare!

The sound shook Jiuxiao, and the defenders on the city wall were shaken.

Is this a rebellion?

Hurry up, everyone goes to the city gate, and they are ready to go.

The defenders of the South City Gate were like birds of a feather, all of them climbed up the city gate.

The news was reported to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses and the Ministry of War as soon as possible.

When the Minister of War heard the words, he was shocked.

The tens of thousands of refugees who could not stay outside the city have always been a serious problem for the capital's confidants.

It was difficult for Mrs. Zhao to come forward to settle these refugees, but why did something happen again in a blink of an eye.

What's the matter? What do the refugees have to do when they are full? Didn't they all buy a house and settle down? Why did they suddenly make trouble again?

I heard that the construction site is closed, and the refugees have no food to eat.

The Minister of War was stunned for a moment, Work stopped?

The subordinate nodded heavily, It's absolutely true.

what happened?

Don't you know the boss? Mrs. Zhao fought with the Zhu family of Uncle Cheng'en's house. The trouble was terrible. The Zhu family ordered no supply, and who dared to disobey the Zhu family. So the construction site was cut off from the supply of goods, and there was no way to start work.

The Minister of War gritted his teeth, Absurd! Don't the Zhu family know that the construction site is shut down and what are the consequences?

The Zhu family just wanted to force the construction site to stop work and force Mrs. Zhao to compromise and bow her head.

The Minister of Military Affairs put his hands behind his back, This matter has to be guarded against. We will send people to stare outside the Nancheng Gate for twelve hours, and we must not let this group of refugees make trouble. We also need to send someone to tell Madam Zhao, hurry up to start work, and The refugees are appeased. By the way, what about the prince?

Has the boss forgot? Young Master Zhao asked for leave two days ago, saying that he was sick. The boss personally approved the leave.

The Minister of War was suddenly embarrassed and resentful.

Did Young Master Zhao already know that the construction site would be shut down and ask for a good leave early?

It must be so, it must be so.

The Minister of War found the truth through the fog.

Send someone to the palace to ask Young Master Zhao to be on duty tomorrow, and he must not be absent for no reason.

As ordered. Where is Mrs. Zhao?

Tell the son to deal with it. The Ministry of War was very angry, but the consequences were not that serious.

The guards at the South City Gate are strictly guarded to prevent the refugees from rioting.

Little did they know that five hundred young and strong refugees, disguised and disguised, entered the capital through the West Gate and the East Gate.

Then an organized and large-scale gathering of Chaocheng's House.

...

Hahaha...Father, the construction site outside Nancheng Gate has stopped. Gu Jiu can't stand it anymore.

Master Zhu Er was very excited.

Cheng'en Bo Zhuci smiled slightly and asked the housekeeper beside him, Is there any result after checking Gu Jiu's tax?

Butler Zhu shook his head, with a worry on his face, There is no result yet. Instead, our shop was closed by the Ministry of Households.

Two or three hundred shops were closed down, and the daily flow of water was a huge number.

The closure of these shops means that the Zhu family has suddenly lost a large amount of cash flow that can be used for turnover.

In a short time, there will be no major problems.

It's just that after a long time, coupled with the household tax, Cao Chashui, Zhu Guanjia was very worried about whether the Zhu family's cash flow would be cut off.

Master, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Butler Zhu reminded cautiously.

Cheng En Bo Zhu sighed, Don't worry, Gu Jiu won't be able to hold on for long. I believe this matter will come to an end soon.

Father is right. Tens of thousands of refugees need to eat, and if they stop working for three or five days, they will kill those refugees. Look, after a day or two, Gu Jiu will have to scramble over to ask his father to apologize.

Chengen Bo Zhuci stroked his beard and smiled reservedly, When Mrs. Zhao comes to the door, remember to be polite.

The matter was not over yet, everyone in the Zhu family had already begun to imagine the scene where Gu Jiu would bow his head and admit defeat.

Sure enough, arrogant enough.

Just as he was happy, the doorman ran in with a frightened look on his face.

No, no, no, call in.

Who's calling in? Why are you panicking, speak clearly.

Yes, yes, yes, those refugees are coming in. There are so many people that they can't stand it anymore.

What? Are you sure it's a refugee?

The servant nodded again and again, It's a refugee, all of them are refugees.

Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci immediately got up and walked outside the door.

In the distance, I heard the screams of killing.

Quick, send the guards out. Send someone through the back door to inform Xiuyiwei, Jinwuwei, Wucheng soldiers and horses, and the refugees outside the city are rebelling!

The shrill voice pierced the sky.

The Zhu family was terrified by the crazy refugees.

They have never experienced such a scene.

It must be Gu Jiu, it must be her. She is going to die with the old man! A lunatic, a lunatic!

Father, what should we do?

Hold up! We must wait until Jin Wuwei comes to rescue. How dare Gu Jiu do this? Isn't she afraid of angering Your Majesty or being questioned?

Father, I can't stand it anymore.

If you can't stand it, you have to stand it. If the refugees rush in, you and I are still alive?

The refugees were organized and disciplined, and when they got the news that Jin Wuwei had arrived at the alley. The refugees did not love to fight, they scattered in an instant, disappeared in the streets and alleys, mixed into the crowd, and disappeared.

Jin Wuwei, who arrived first, watched the refugees run away, too late to catch up.

There was a mess in front of the gate of Cheng'enbo Mansion, a pair of stone lions were smashed into pieces, and the copper gate was also smashed with several holes.

The straw sandals, rotten clothes and trousers all over the place prove that an amazing riot just happened here.
