Zhang Yun's ancient life

The group of sweaters walked back with the things they looted from Xu's house. They made such a big commotion in Xu's house that the surrounding people didn't want no one to hear it. Outside the gate of Xu's house is now A lot of people surrounded the inner third floor and the outer third floor, but they heard that there was a lot of commotion inside, and people who didn't know why didn't dare to lean over.

When people outside saw someone coming out from inside, they started talking in a low voice immediately. People from the Gao family are well-known in Li County, but the reputation is not very good.

Seeing that it was them, a man standing in the crowd said to the people around him: "Why are they from the Gao family? Why did the Xu family provoke their family? The people in this family are notoriously wolfish!" , Look at the things they carried out, I am afraid they have scraped the land of the Xu family three or four times."

The person next to him also whispered back after hearing the words: "I think there is something wrong with this matter. The people of the Gao family are ruthless, but they are the most knowledgeable about current affairs. The crooked business can't be proud of it today. The Xu family's son has a reputation and is an official outside. Even if there is any quarrel between the two of them, the Gao family should never do this. He is not afraid Will the Xu family take revenge on them when they come back?"

Hearing this, the man next to him thought it was reasonable, and saw an acquaintance among those who rushed over from Gao's house, so he said to the people around him: "Just wait here, there is a person I know over there." , wait for me to go over and ask."

After speaking, the man passed through the crowd, waved at a young man who was loading a carriage, and said, "Xiao Hu, I am your third uncle."

Hearing this, the young man looked up and saw that it was really his own cousin, so he quickly stopped what he was doing and ran over and said, "Third Uncle, why are you here? Didn't I hear that you are going out recently?" ?”

The middle-aged man heard the words and said: "I have a friend whose family lives in Qingshi Town. Today, Tema's family invited guests to dinner. I came here to ask for a glass of wine. Unexpectedly, I ran into him."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the Gao family, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he whispered to his nephew: "What are you doing? If you practice others, you won’t be afraid that they will come to their senses and deal with you. It doesn’t matter if their Gao family has a great fortune, and it will be you small fish and shrimps who will be unlucky then?”

This uncle was really afraid that his nephew would get into trouble, so his tone of voice was unavoidable, but his nephew didn't care about it, and instead said with disdain: "Don't mention it. The famous master of their family is already a thing of the past, you don’t know, this master was ashamed of himself earlier, but he was ashamed, and now the yamen he works in dares no one to say that he knows him, I'm afraid that if I get attached to him, I will bring some disaster to myself."

The middle-aged man was very surprised when he heard this, so he asked: "What else is there? What did Xu Juren do outside?"

The young man glanced at his supervisor when he heard the words, and saw that the supervisor did not intend to stop him from speaking, so he understood that the people above were using his own mouth to spread the word. He said to his uncle in a loud voice: "Third Uncle, you can't call Juren any more. How can there be Juren in their family now? There is only one bastard who is corrupt and breaks the law, accepts bribes, and dares to behave indiscreetly during the National Filial Piety. "

When the people around heard what he said, they exploded in an instant, and the door of Xu's house was full of people's voices, just like the vegetable market.

Mrs. Xu was being supported by Mrs. Liao at this time, and came out following Guan Rong. When she heard that someone said such things about her son outside, she quit and threw off the arm supported by Mrs. Liao and rushed towards him. The young man who spoke came over and shouted: "A villain like you dares to arrange other people's stories behind people's backs, don't you? I'll tell you to talk nonsense."

The young man's skill is more useful, the young man dodged the rushing old lady Xu and said: "Everyone saw it, the old lady fell down by herself, I didn't touch it." She, if she blackmails people in the future, the big guy will have to testify for me."

Everyone is gossiping now and heard Xingtou, someone booed and said: "We all saw it, she rushed over by herself, but what did you say just now, we didn't understand, please explain to us all chant."

Don't blame everyone for their lack of sympathy. It's true that the Xu family doesn't know how to be a human being. Usually, everyone is knocked down. The neighbors told them to offend them. Now that something happened to their family, it is inevitable that they will suffer. Their angry people want to watch the fun.

When the young man saw someone answering, he became more energetic. He pointed to the old lady Xu who was lying on the ground and said, "I'm talking nonsense, so why don't you talk nonsense? Am I wronging your son for being corrupt and breaking the law, or for wronging me?" Did he behave indiscriminately during the country's filial piety?"

Mrs. Xu burst into tears and said: "If it weren't for you people who came to force him to ask for money, how could he do such a thing? Now the jackal who is forcing people is pretending to be a good person. There are still people in this world. Is there a place to reason?"

This was heard by the leading middle-aged man, and he said to the old lady Xu with an unfriendly expression: "Old lady, what you said is unreasonable. Your son owes our boss money, and our boss came to collect the debt." , It’s obviously a reasonable thing, how come you, an old lady, it’s like seeing us forcing your son, what are we forcing, we are forcing him to collect other people’s things and do things for others, We called him the girl who went to sleep in Hualou during the national filial piety period. Your son has misbehavior. If you don’t reflect on your poor behavior, you will blame others. I think the women and children in your family still want to give it to you Save some face, since you are so ungrateful, then I don't need to do these unnecessary things, Hu Zi, go and lock our newly acquired house, let people live in vain and complain, We can't do this kind of thing."

Hearing this, the young man turned around, took out a long chain from the carriage, wrapped it around the gate of Xu's house a few times, locked it with a copper lock, and said: "Peng Shu, lock it, No one can open it without the key."

Hearing this, Peng Shu glanced at Mrs. Xu Lao who was about to come to stop her, but was stopped and said: "It's getting late, so we won't bother you any more, old lady, hurry up and collect money, we'll pay back in a few days." I'm coming to collect the bill."

After finishing speaking, a group of people drove away in a mighty carriage under his leadership.

That Huzi's third uncle has a heart for gossip, and hastily followed him, trying to find out first-hand information about the Xu family from his nephew.

In fact, it’s nothing, but after Xu Juren arrived in Jinzhou to take up his post, it was time to repay the loan in a few days. The Gao family also sent someone to ask for the account, saying that it doesn’t matter if the principal is not, and the interest must be paid first. Bar.

Where did Xu Juren have money, but he hadn't received his monthly salary this month, and the whole family lived on some personal money that Liao brought over.

Besides, what he received was not a small amount, one-tenth of 3000 two-month interest, 300 two-month interest alone, Xu Juren felt his scalp tingling when he thought about it, thinking that if he paid it back, his family would live forever. If you don't eat or drink to earn money for others, how can you make it so, you have the meaning of reneging on your debts in your heart.

Xu Juren thought that he was a man of fame, and he was an official of the imperial court, so he would not pay back the money, and the ruffians of the Gao family would not dare to do anything to him. At worst, he would take care of them in the future, and the two sides would be fine. There is a favor.

Who would have thought that the moment he expressed his intentions, the Gao family would be upset. The Gao family has always been gangsters, and it is not a day or two to take the road of usury. Don't be afraid of him reneging on debts, they have plenty of ways to deal with those who don't pay back their debts.

Even if Xu Juren has some identities, I want them to be more cautious, but it’s not impossible to move. At worst, they don’t want the 3000 taels after they get it back, and they will give it away for activities. They don’t feel bad about the money, but the account must be recovered, otherwise Let others know and follow suit, then their business will not be done.That Xu Juren is just a small sesame official with no connections, so I don't believe that someone will stand up for him.

Xu Juren has been punished several times by the teacher, afraid of suffering again, he had to find a way to collect money for them, but a few hundred taels of silver is so easy to collect there, just when Xu Juren was desperate, a way to get money was called He found out.

Isn't Xu Juren in charge of household registration, but the person in charge sitting next to him is registered in a field near Jinzhou.

A few days ago, the manager was unwell and asked for leave, so the master secretary asked Xu Juren to take him to work first.

The recorder in charge of money, grain and land has always been the most lucrative job in the yamen, because these jobs are taxable, and it is not too difficult to do some tricks in it to earn some money.

On this day, a big landowner bought a lot of land and came to Xu Juren to register and transfer the ownership. According to the regulations, the management should evaluate the land value according to the four grades of excellent, good, fair, inferior, and then let the land value according to the value of the land. One-tenth of the transfer tax is collected, and the imperial court will also collect future taxes according to the quality of the land on which the plane is boarded.

In order to save some money and taxes, the landlords will send some financial resources to the registered officials, asking them to write down the grade of the land. When it was Xu Juren's turn, the landlord did the same.

When Xu Juren received the money, he asked the landlord what grade he should write. The landlord was stunned when he heard this. Isn't it usual that you wait according to the grade?So it's your turn to change today?

Then looking at Xu Juren's face, he knew that he was a newcomer and didn't understand the rules. If he wanted to take advantage of him, he asked for as little as possible.

When Xu Juren heard the words, he registered the 100 mu of land as inferior, and the good 50 mu of fertile land became inferior. How much tax would be saved? The crazy landlord gave Xu Juren a lifetime The benefits, and Xu Juren looked at the [-] taels of silver in his hand and realized that he knew how to make money.

You can guess what happened next without thinking about it. From then on, Xu Juren started a crazy way of accumulating money. In less than two months, he actually saved almost 1000 taels of silver. The degree of his madness can be seen.

After the recorder in charge of the field returned to his post, he found that the money and the accounts were not reconciled. After careful inspection, he found that nearly [-] mu of good land had been converted into bad land.

The supervisor almost fainted after he found out. He didn't dare to take such a scapegoat, so he immediately reported it to the director.

The result can be imagined, Xu Juren was dismissed, and he originally wanted to go to his good brother to intercede, but he didn't expect that he would never see him now.

The extremely depressed Xu Juren wandered around Huajie and Liuxiang all day long, but unfortunately, he was discovered by the supervisor who almost took the blame for him.

The recorder was angry with him, how could he hide it for him with such a clue, but in a few days, the whole Jinzhou knew that Xu Juren went out to whoring and whoring during the national filial piety.

The prefect of Jinzhou was very angry when he found out. Didn't this kind of thing happen at this time to make him look bad?So he immediately wrote a note and reported it to the court.

The reply and instructions from the Ministry of Officials were also very quick, and Xu Juren was dismissed from his fame and will never be reused.

Now that Xu Juren had become like this, the Gao family didn't have to worry about anything, they immediately tied him up and asked someone to follow his mother and daughter-in-law home to collect money.

Now that the cause and effect of the incident are clear, everyone looked at the Xu family with contempt even more. After hearing these words, Guan Rong spat at her mother-in-law and said: "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. "

Mrs. Xu was furious, and she was about to go up and tear Guan Rong up, but Guan Rong was not in the mood to pay attention to her now. She tidied up her embarrassment and was going to go back to her mother's house. The Xu family is like this now. There's no need to accompany myself in, I'd better go back and discuss it with my father to see if Carmen can get her dowry back.
