Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

Shark hunting is a dangerous business, but it has to be said that it would be slacking off if you only saw the small sharks that are common in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea all the time.

Not to mention the method of using flesh and blood to attract sharks to give fish heads at a fixed location will also attract big fish, such as the man-eating sharks that are active in the waters of Yazhou all the year round.Attracted by such a strong smell of blood, it is not surprising that they left the sea area of ​​​​Yazhou and headed north!

Sharks are fast!Yazhou to the Yellow Sea is indeed a long distance in the eyes of humans, but to sharks, it is only a matter of a day or two!

So in February of the following year, something went wrong!

Someone fell into the sea and was torn to pieces by sharks, leaving only a head when the nets were scrambled left and right!

Chen Li reported to Xing Xiuyan immediately, and while investigating the cause of the accident and confirming the identity of the deceased, he asked someone to carve a body out of wood, and made a thin wooden coffin by the way. The funeral was settled, and finally on the day of the funeral, a pension of 300 taels of silver was handed over to the survivor's family in front of everyone.

For the sake of insurance, the survivors of the other party were asked to sign and draw a deposit, and by the way, all the people present were asked to press their fingerprints to show their witness.

I don't want to, after a few days, Xing Xiuyan's coastal farm was besieged by those Zaoli led people.

In terms of weather and time, neither side has an advantage over the other, but those slaves occupy the geographical advantage-they are local snakes, and they have been operating in Langya County for countless generations-Xing Xiuyan occupies the harmony.

People from Langya County are not the only ones who come to Xing Xiuyan to beg for a living. Xing Xiuyan has paid great attention to this point from the very beginning, otherwise she would not have posted notices to hire people in Laizhou Prefecture.

How to maintain a close relationship with the local people and take into account the emotions of the local people as much as possible to take into account their own interests, this is the basic skill of Chen Li, the third housekeeper of the Lin family. You can't climb to the position of steward, let alone a steward!

The two sides were in a stalemate for a day and a night. Then, when the Yellow Sea Division passed by, Zuo Jinghang led his subordinates to hold the two sides down. Zuo Jinghang left half of his men to guard the village for Xing Xiuyan, and the other half were escorted to Laizhou by both sides. government.

The entire Laizhou government was alarmed, and countless people ran to listen.

Of course, this kind of thing will never let Xing Xiuyan go to court. The one who goes to court is the third in command of their village, that is, Chen Li's assistant and son.As for Xing Xiuyan, as a county ruler of the sixth grade in the imperial court, she is fully qualified to listen in the back hall, with good tea and water at hand.

If the storyteller in the teahouse were to talk about today’s events, he would definitely be on the side of the orphans and widows who have lost their men, vividly describing their mother and child’s helplessness, and arousing the sympathy of the officials in the hall and the people watching Heart, I also get the satisfaction of weeding out the strong and helping the weak.

And top litigators know how to use these things to create opportunities for themselves in court.

But from Xing Xiuyan's point of view, this is definitely not what she wants.

□□It is absolutely intolerable for such a situation to happen.

After the orphan and widow finished crying, Mr. Wang took out the employment contract and asked the mother and son word by word:

——Excuse me, is this contract clearly stated in black and white: hunting sharks is extremely dangerous, so the wages are two taels of silver per month plus ten catties of meat and thirty catties of sweet potatoes. Once something happened, the pension was 300 taels of silver.Is there such a word in the contract?

There was a stack of unsealed contract documents at the door of the government office. Hearing xx's question, someone touched the documents and came over to look at them.

Black and white, clear and clear, the answer is naturally needless to say.

You know, even in the years of peace, ordinary civilians went to the city to do part-time jobs, and it was nothing more than a daily wage of ten yuan for food.Two taels of silver is definitely a high salary among high salaries, not to mention food that is very precious in this famine year. In the past year, how many people in Shandong have sold a big girl with yellow flowers just for three or five buckets of millet. ?This is the price at the beginning of last year!At the end of the year, even a working man can't get this price!After two consecutive years of drought and locust plagues, and at this time of year when the crops were already in short supply, the food on the market was even more expensive.If shark hunting wasn't a high-risk occupation, why would the Xing family pay such high wages?

Seeing clearly the terms on the contract document, the people listening below started whispering.

second question:

——Is it clearly stated in the contract that hunting sharks is extremely dangerous, and the person who signed the contract is required to follow the rules?

This problem is also in that contract, so naturally it cannot be denied.

Then someone said that the family was illiterate.

As a result, it's fine if the litigator doesn't speak, but once he speaks, the prefect Min Wanzhong and the prefect have not yet spoken, and the people listening below will not obey!

Why?

Because when the Xing family hired people, they specially hired two people with loud voices who could read and write.what to do?Knock gongs and shout on the side!Strike a gong, and read that contract aloud!The two came in rotation, so that everyone could hear clearly!

Not only the recruitment in Laizhou Prefecture is like this, but also the recruitment in Langya County.

In addition, Xing Xiuyan's village also employs a few children, what do they do?Standing on the pier every day, I read the safety precautions to the workers in the cool voice of the children.

There are witnesses and physical evidence, you said, you don't know?

Who are you fooling?

It's not just people from Langya County who work on Xing Xiuyan's Zhuangzi, but also people from Laizhou Prefecture. Those local snakes in Langya County can control the locals of Langya County, and can they reach Laizhou Prefecture?

Then I saw that everyone in Langya County lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Everyone knew that there was a problem.

Finally, □ took out the account books, not only pensions and funeral expenses, but also the money and grain received by the family. Everyone in the village, including the money and grain received by those children, had their fingerprints.

In the end, the case was closed on the grounds that the orphan and widow were underpaid.Min Wanzhong asked Xing Xiuyan to go to the back hall for instructions, and Xing Xiuyan said, if their mother and son felt that the pension was small, they would discuss it with her in private or with the stewards of the farm, then either subsidize it according to the situation, or give it to them on the farm. It is not impossible for mother and child to arrange a place.But now that there is such a commotion, do you still want her to increase the pension?

When she is a fool?In the future, someone will follow suit and make trouble every time, who can bear it?Her money did not come from the wind.

As long as she didn't deduct the other party's wages, and didn't shorten the other party's pension, no one could blame her!Not to mention, the woman's man worked on the pier for a month and five days, but she gave her two months' wages, and even the ingredients for [-] days, and the man's funeral. The money and food from Xing Xiu cigarette stickers!

Xing Xiuyan didn't feel that she owed that mother and son!

The case was settled, the people dispersed in twos and threes, and the village was about to start work again, but the aftermath did not stop.

Zuo Jinghang couldn't hold back, he followed Min Wanzhong to find Xing Xiuyan:

"Niece Xian, this time is really dangerous!"

Xing Xiuyan said: "Isn't it dangerous! Three points are destined, and seven points are man-made disasters! I don't know what the people behind this plan are? Do they want to eat our family's Zhuangzi? Or bully me when I am young, so I took the opportunity Something happened, so you can see my reaction?"

If the case this time is really about the fact that the mother and son feel that the pension is low, there will be so much trouble between the people of Langya County and Xing Xiuyan's Zhuangzi that they will almost use force?

For such a reason, I am afraid that even the little beggars on the streets of Laizhou Capital do not believe it!

Xing Xiuyan also doesn't believe that the person behind this has such a big appetite and wants to eat this Zhuangzi directly, so the only possibility is that they want to try to blackmail some money and food, and see if Xing Xiuyan is easy to bully by the way!

Hearing this, Zuo Jinghang, Min Wanzhong, and Bai Xu all tensed up.

In the territory of Shandong, there are really not many people who dare to plot against the daughter of the current Shandong chief envoy and the county monarch appointed by the imperial court under the noses of the government!

But thinking about the past three years, Shandong is really not easy!This year is the third year of the locust plague alone, and almost everyone's family fortune has been raised.Now, if you have food in your hands, you are the boss!

And now whoever has grain in his hands in Shandong is the current sixth-rank county lord in front of him!

I think the boats of the Fan family transported the sweet potatoes of the Lin family to Shandong continuously via the Haihe River and the Bohai Sea, and then transported the processed shark fin, fish oil and fish maw from Shandong to the south of the Yangtze River, and then collected chicken, duck, goose, and The piglets were shipped back to Shandong together with the sweet potatoes from Suzhou—there is also Lin’s sweet potato farm in Suzhou that produces a large amount of sweet potatoes every year!

Shandong's treasury has been empty for a long time, and there are many business giants in Shanshan and Shaanxi, but it is still the same as Shandong. There have been locust plagues for two consecutive years, and this year is the third year.

At this time, people who are desperate for money and food are definitely not one or two, nor a family or two!

Compared with the tragic situation in the whole of Shandong, there is only the Zhuangzi of the Xing family. For example, the Zhuangzi managed by Xing Xiuyan, because there is food, the people below work harder, and the dried fish and meat produced are more. There are also many shark fin fish oil and fish gelatin.

Although the dried fish meat made of shark meat has a strong smell, it is meat after all!It's food!

With the entire territory of Shandong suffering from locust plagues last year and this year looking bad, who doesn't know what these stinky dried salted fish mean?

That's not some stinky dried salted fish!

That is a more real currency than money!Hard currency that can be exchanged for countless fields!

Zuo Jinghang couldn't help but remind her: "Niece Xian, since ancient times, people's hearts have been lacking! You, you have to be careful~!"

Xing Xiuyan pondered for a while, and said:

"Presumably the magistrate is also looking forward to cleaning up the tarsal maggots entrenched under the rule and rule the people to a bright future, right?"

If those guys dared to attack Xing Xiuyan, as Xing Xiuyan's third-class county lord, Min Wanzhong would definitely take the opportunity to confiscate those Zaolis' homes, and then exile the whole family to the border to give Langya County peace.

Zuo Jinghang immediately shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous."

He looked at Min Wanzhong again, he gritted his teeth, and said: "People die for money and birds die for food. Since these guys have made a move, they may not have a follow-up. The niece of Xian is a daughter of a famous family, how can she easily take risks? If Xian The niece wants to get rid of these cancers, otherwise, I have a concubine whose stature is about the same as that of a good niece, so let her go here pretending to be a good niece, and catch those guys out."

If you beat a snake, you will not die but suffer from it.

Zuo Jinghang still understands this truth.Now that he has come to this point, he also knows that he can't retreat, he must get rid of this group of guys thoroughly.

"In this case, the junior will thank uncle for his love."

Saying that, Xing Xiuyan bowed to Zuo Jinghang, and Zuo Jinghang hurriedly got up to help him.
