Fall of the General's House

Ancient times were too boring, especially when there were not many literate people, and even the market for story books was not too big, gossip became one of the mainstays of mass entertainment.The story of General Chang Sheng's return to Beijing has been spread throughout even small villages like Xinfu Village.

An Huaile, who originally wanted to go out to find Qiao Jing, turned around halfway and rushed to the entrance of the next village. The ox cart in the next village should still be there.

Because of the development of Xinfu Village, most of the raw materials purchased come from other villages, which indirectly improves the lives of other farmers. The uncle who pulls the cows has also become more casual.

After finally relieving the pain of riding an ox cart, An Huaile finally came to a small tea shop in the town.Sure enough, everyone inside was talking about the general's return to Beijing.An Huaile sat on the side, listening attentively, and slowly worked out the news he wanted.

"I've heard rumors about the general returning to Beijing before. Hey, I didn't expect it to be true."

"But, wasn't the general and the emperor fighting for position before, and now that we go back, wouldn't the day lily be cold?"

"Hey, you don't know now. When the general said to abdicate, the emperor made an oath, saying that the position of the general will always be reserved for others!"

"Is there such a good thing? I don't believe it. I heard from my friend's friend before that the imperial city is very dangerous! There are brothers who fought with the emperor in the past, and some have broken legs."

"Ah! It's so scary."

"Isn't it? We are at the top, but we are very scared. The palace is a place to eat people. Now the general is not used to it, so he risked his life to manage things."

"..."

An Huaile clenched her palms behind her back, her nails dug into her palms hard, as if they were about to bleed.

"Little brother, I'm here to ask for a glass of water." An old man sat at An Huaile's table, interrupting the other's thoughts.

An Huaile froze for a moment, then nodded. "please sit down."

The old man also heard the conversation in the tea shop, and turned back to the people in front with a slight smile on his weather-beaten face: "Don't say it, the general is indeed capable, but he is too indifferent to fame and fortune, otherwise this country of Yi would not As for making a mess for the new emperor."

"That's right! I heard that the first book that the general gave was to reduce the land rent and land price for us farmers. He is really a good man. A few days ago, the land had increased to sixty-two acres, and now it's just one book." Go up and lose one or two at once!"

"Indeed, it is a promising one."

Although this news is not widely available now, the storytellers in Qingxing County naturally have their own channels to quickly learn about it.The people put food first, and the food has to come out of the fields, isn't it happy?

Although the results of the approval are mediocre, at least there is a sign that everyone sees hope.

And then, the people in the tea shop spoke even more unscrupulously, criticizing the new emperor for what he had done in the past two years, saying that he had too much power and had a wild temper, without any taboo.Even this kind of frontier land was not affected much, but what they heard from the mouths of people from other places made them sigh.

The more An Huaile heard it, the more frightened he became. He still knew a little about some ancient class punishments.So these old men are really not afraid of being locked up in prison! ?

An Huai Le glanced at the old man who was listening with relish, and was about to remind him after hesitating. "Old man, are you like this... Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the government?"

The old man shook his brows amusedly, and finally caught a baby who has never heard gossip!Rubbing his little hands together excitedly.

"Well, don't worry about it! Ten days ago, this county magistrate offended the Lan family in the neighboring county, and was imprisoned by the second young master of the Lan family on the spot. I can't get up early!"

An Huaile's eyebrows twitched, he came to the town a few days ago to see the progress of the work, so he didn't care about it.Now that I think about it, the county magistrate is from the Hu family, and it can also be said that he is on the side of the emperor in disguise.And I've heard of a lot of corruption, but I've been running my own shop for so long, and I haven't had any problems in the near future, so it's still smooth?

Here, no one is involved, he can write the name upside down!

"Then who is the current county magistrate?"

"Oh, the current county magistrate seems to be recommended by one of the general's subordinates. He treats us well, and killed a lot of villains when he took office."

"No, the old county magistrate is gone, so the Lan family's crimes haven't been punished?"

"Hey, you don't know something about this. The old man of the Lan family gave a lot of money to help in the war in the past. The new emperor can't offend them for this. Besides, he has a lot of money on hand, and now the old man lives Here, but most of the business is in the capital." As he spoke, he rubbed his thumb and two fingers together, making a gesture of money.

When An Huaile heard this, he looked surprised, and the old man looked at him in comfort.

Actually, An Huaile thought to himself.

Ten days ago, the Hu family was gone, He Zilin ran away, his business was better, the bad county magistrate was disabled, and a certain Lan family was still negotiating his own business.

······At least 99%, he felt stone hammered.If this Lan family had nothing to do with He Zilin, he would twist his head off and kick it like a ball.

After the old man left, An Huaile's enthusiasm suddenly turned cold.He knew who he should go to first, not the Lan family.

It's - Qiao Jing.He remembered that Qiao Jing took over the account book at that time, that is to say, since He Zilin had the idea of ​​running away, he entrusted all the affairs here to Qiao Jing.

Good guy, he said how Qiao Jing handled it so smoothly, he would have to eat a box of Dove to do it.As a result, he has already been nurtured by Master.

Dare to be the last one to know?

Thinking about it, the stoneware teacup he was holding was broken.

An Huaile put an extra five cents on the booth with a blank face, and was about to get up and leave.Just as the curtain was lifted, the discussions of several people came from behind, which could be heard clearly.

"By the way, what is the name of our great general?"

"Ah. What does it seem to be Lin? Call, call Lin Datou!"

An Huaile's expressionless face split open.

Lin, Lin Datou?

Slip, as expected of his dog He Gouzi, who is so skinny that he can go to space, the name is so tasteful, fortunately, they can't produce anything, otherwise, he can remake this thing... ·

After An Huaile returned to the village, he went straight to the small study of the He family.After the family got rich, they also rebuilt the house, which is much more convenient now.

'squeak! '

Qiao Jing raised his head from the account book and looked at his sister-in-law.

"Brother An, do you want to read the account book today? Or?"

"No need, I'll leave after asking."

Qiao Jing frowned imperceptibly: "What's wrong?"

At this moment, An Huaile is extremely calm, and through these days of getting along, he can also see that his brother-in-law is indeed not someone to be taken lightly, and he is very capable.Maybe he wasn't a country man.

He should be more careful in asking questions.

"Well, do you know where your eldest brother is going? Where did he go? He was walking in a hurry, so I forgot to ask."

Qiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief silently: "I don't know, it seems that I said something, go west."

An Huaile snorted coldly in his heart, it's very good, it's in the opposite direction from the capital. "Oh, all right. I'll just ask. By the way, do you know the Lan family?"

"The one who is working with us?"

"Well, I heard from the villagers that the Lan family seems to have encountered some kind of crisis recently, and they are short of money. After all, they are just a squire in a small place, so they won't drag us into trouble, right? Xinfu Village has finally improved, so it's better to use the funds Withdrew a little, I think the Lan family is so active, it's not profitable, so it's not early, maybe it's thinking of cheating us?"

An Huaile and his eldest brother learned to negotiate with the right expressions, and for a moment Qiao Jing couldn't tell if he was really hesitating.

After a while, Qiao Jing didn't want to disappoint He Zilin and An Huaile's hard work, and said truthfully: "I went to a neighboring county to find out about the Lan family's background, and I heard people nearby said that the Lan family's money is much more than that, and there are many businesses. It’s all done outside, so you don’t have to worry too much about money. If you’re worried, it’s okay to return some money.”

An Huaile nodded cautiously: "That's it. Then you can figure it out. The most important thing is not to damage our interests. If necessary, do it."

Qiao Jing: "Okay, I understand."

An Huaile just walked around and left as usual, Qiao Jing didn't think much about it.

I didn't realize what the other party was going to do next.

blue home.

"Master, Master!"

"What's the matter?" The man was drawing a picture of mountains and rivers, and at the critical moment, he was a little impatient to be interrupted by the servant.

The boy could have seen it, but he dared not report it when he came down. "Master An is here."

"Which Mr. An can make you not even knock on the door? Are you itchy?"

The boy jumped anxiously, "It's Mr. An! The one at General He's."

Lan Xuechen froze, quickly put down the pen, straightened her clothes and hurried out, cursing as she walked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, so I can change my clothes!"

The servant followed aside aggrievedly: "Young Master, I have already arrived here very quickly from the front hall. Now in the side hall, the Elder Master has already passed."

Lan Xuechen held his forehead, can you not pay attention to it?If there is no big difference, the emperor will be General He in the future, and this Mr. An will be that one.Before He Zi left, he said "Nurse" no less than ten times.What happened to those who followed, they didn't come to report!

In the main hall, the Lan family guessed this person's intentions, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Father, Mr. An is here to cooperate, or?"

The old man frowned slightly, feeling that the matter was not simple. "Qiao Jing said it before. This time, I'm afraid he discovered something. Before General He left, he told us not to let his wife know."

"You say, how should I respond?"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, Lan Xuechen had rushed to the side hall at any rate, just in time to discuss countermeasures.Suggestion: "You can't be too grand, but you can't be too contemptuous. After all, this person may be coughing in the future. Why don't you ask your sister-in-law to come forward to appease you first? How long has Mr. An been here?"

Lan Xuechen asked the boy.

"About half a quarter."

Hearing this, everyone's eyebrows twitched.

The old man said: "Go, hurry up and talk to someone, don't let him think that we have neglected you."

On the other hand, An Huaile didn't expect that such a big house could easily come in without a greeting card, and he was even arranged to be in such a magnificent hall.

Afterwards, a few women came, dignified yet impatient, seeing the little steps outside that were about to run out of afterimages, An Huaile smiled awkwardly at the visitors and covered her face.

It's all like this... I don't need to say more, do you value me so much?

[The author has something to say: An Huaile: Lin Datou, if he has a son, wouldn't he be called Lin Xiaotou?Big head father and small head son?

He Zilin: Lonely as snow, there is no me in this chapter~
