Chapter 013 Silver
The three core figures in Pingnan County drank for more than two hours. Li Renjie was easily put down by Lin Zimo, while Zhang Chi had drunk and walked unsteadily. Lin Zimo was a little dizzy, and he walked out of the Wanfu restaurant with his hand. Before leaving the private room, he did not forget to tell the shopkeeper to send Li Renjie home.
Zhang Chi's housekeeper had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When he saw his master coming out drunk, he hurried forward and put his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord. Just let the villain come for the rest of the matter.
Lin Zimo handed Zhang Chi over to his housekeeper. Seeing that he was helped into the official sedan chair by his subordinates, he watched him leave. Yawning, some of them are sleepy, and naturally they have no intention to go back to the county office to continue working. Although I was lazy on the first day of work, there was a reason for the incident. Even if the three masters in Pingnan County don't go to the office, the people in the county government will not dare to say anything.
Lin Zimo felt that it was a little difficult to walk home, so he hired a small sedan to go home. Sitting in the sedan chair, he closed his eyes and his head was thoughtful. The two sedan were familiar with the road and sent him to his house in a short time. Lin Zimo, who had paid the money, relied on the door and hardly smashed the copper ring on the door.
A mother who heard the sound came out of the forecourt and opened the door. When she opened the door, she was almost turned to the ground by Lin Zimo. He didn't pay much attention to the situation around him. He buried his head, walked straight inward, and lay asleep thinking.
The old mother who turned around shouted in and shouted, "Madam, the master is back."
Yang Mengqi, who was teaching Chu Hanlu to read and read in the study, came out strangely. After all, this should be his work time. Walking on the road, she smelled a strong smell of wine before she saw Lin Zimo's figure. Yang Mengqi, who made three steps into two steps, came to him and helped him sit down.
Lin Zimo, sitting in a circle chair, suddenly shouted, "Water, I want to drink water."
Yang Mengqi ordered his mother to pour him a pot of tea quickly. Lin Zimo, who didn't have time to think about it, held the kettle in his hands, raised his head slightly, and drank water with his mouth to the mouth of the kettle. The sound of coo-dong was soon drunk by him half a pot of tea. After quenching his thirst, he slowly put the teapot on the table and leaned against the circle chair, showing a satisfied look.
Yang Mengqi, who knew it in his heart, sent his mother to take down the teapot and sit beside him. Curious Chu Hanlu threw away the brush in her hand and ran out of the study to the front hall to see what was going on. Standing nearby, she saw Lin Zi drinking a lot and felt bored, so she stood for less than a minute and went back to the study to continue practicing calligraphy.
Lin Zimo, who touched his forehead and closed his eyes, suddenly sighed, "Oh... the people of Pingnan County are really bitter."
Yang Mengqi, who was sitting next to him, was Lan Xinhuizhi. He got up and came over to help him and said, "The slave family sent his father-in-law back to his room to rest."
Lin Zimo, who opened his eyes, got up with her and walked into the north room. After all, he knew that there were some words that could not be heard by outsiders. The wine between him and his two superiors made him vaguely feel that something was going to happen. The whole family is counting on him, so you must be careful.
Lin Zimo, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, pulled Yang Mengqi down and said, "I'm afraid something big is going to happen in Pingnan County recently."
Yang Mengqi, who combed a peach bun, knew that he was not talking drunk and asked with concern, "Does your father-in-law want me to make some preparations?"
Lin Zimo nodded his head with approval and said, "With colorful phoenix flying wings, my heart is a little sharp."
Yang Mengqi lowered his eyebrows, and there was a slight blush on his cheeks and said, "Your father-in-law is only allowed to order, and the slave family will do it."
When Lin Zimo saw her delicate face, there was a lot of waves in his heart and took her into his arms, but he thought of other places in his mind. A bad smile appeared on his face and said, "Let's lie on ** and tell you slowly for my husband."
Under the triple effect of alcohol, feminine fragrance and hormones, he couldn't help undressing Yang Mengqi's skirt belt. She blushed and didn't know what to do. She sat motionless on the edge of the bed like a stupid goose, and her heart beat wildly. Although she couldn't figure out the reason, she slowly realized some shameful things.
The rapid footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a familiar voice shouted through the door, "Sir, there are guests visiting."
Lin Zimo, who stopped, felt that it was killing the scenery. He rushed out of the door unhappily and said, "Sir, I know."
After the mother received a reply, she turned around and left in a hurry. Lin Zimo, who had already raised his emotions, raised Yang Mengqi's jaw with his right index finger, turned his head slightly, and put his mouth against her lips. She was both excited and shy by this sudden action.
Lin Zimo, who pecked her, got up and smiled, "Sit down for a moment. I'll go back as soon as I go. Later, my husband will teach you more.
Yang Mengqi's face was red like autumn maple leaves, and he did not dare to look up at him, while his hands rubbed the corners of his skirt repeatedly. Without saying a word, she sat beside the edge of the bed in a bad mood and felt that the moment just now was really wonderful. In this way, his first kiss was taken away by Lin Zimo.
Lin Zimo, who left the north room and returned to the front hall, saw Zhang Chi's housekeeper, and there was a box in front of him.
Sitting down slowly, he said with a blank face, "What's the matter with you coming to me?"
The housekeeper greeted him with a smiling face and said, "Master Lin left in a hurry and forgot to take things away. I'm sending back the adult's things.
Lin Zimo can conclude that the things in the box will never be pebbles by the Xiaoqing River without opening the box. Zhang Chi was so blatant to send things to himself, in order not to pull himself into their thief boat. At noon, he had seen that Zhang Chi and Li Renjie had been together for a long time. I'm afraid that they were unexpectedly awarded this official position by the Ministry of Officials.
Lin Zimo, who held a tea bowl in his hand, clearly knew that if he did not accept the box in front of him, it would mean that he was standing opposite them. Throughout the Pingnan County government, I have some personal relations with Wang Pengfei, and the names of others are not clear. If you really stand on the opposite side of the two, you will never be able to do it well. If he takes it by himself, he will have a handle in their hands and can only follow the two of them to the dark.
Lin Zimo, who put down the tea bowl in his hand, glanced at the hot potato in the box, and said softly, "I know."
"That small one quit." The housekeeper kept a smiling face and slowly retreated.
Lin Zimo got up and came to the kitchen. After sending several domestic helpers home, he closed the door. He opened the box and saw that it was full of white silver. I roughly clicked the number and estimated that there were 2,000 taels of silver. At this time, he remembered a sentence from later generations, three years of Qing magistrate, 100,000 snowflakes.
Lin Zimo understands that since Zhang Chi is willing to spend money, he must get more money back. He recalled the conversation between the three people, which became not a chat, but a decision to be implemented. He calculated it carefully, and I'm afraid he won't even get a dim of the silver. He had no choice but to divide the money several times before moving into the north house.
Yang Mengqi saw so much silver in the room and was worried, "Faun, this is... where did you come from?"
Lin Zimo picked up a silver ingot and said helplessly, "This is silver, which is obviously the flesh and blood of the people of Pingnan County."
Yang Mengqi, who got up, came to his side and said, "Since you know that this thing can't be accepted, why do you still want to accept it?"
Lin Zimo smiled bitterly and said, "Do I have a choice? He is alone in the county government, and he is not the chief official of the county. I'm against them. It's a small matter of losing officials. If it involves you, it will be really troublesome.
When Yang Mengqi saw him thinking about them so much, his heart surged warmly and said, "Is this the big thing in your mouth? Although it is a little tricky, there is no room for manoeuvre.
"The wife understands the difference." Lin Zimo put down a silver ingot in his hand and said, "It's just a cashier. The problem is that they have decided to impose taxes under the guise of security. Our surroundings are not peaceful. Isn't this forcing the people to get up and make trouble? My biggest worry is not here, but that they will slaughter unarmed people to pretend to be the rebels of the imperial court.
Yang Mengqi was shocked and couldn't believe it at all: "Are they really so cruel?"
"In my judgment, nine out of ten will do that." Lin Zimo shook his head and said, "It's a great misfortune for the people of Pingnan County to meet these two embarrassed people. Their plan must have been planned for a long time, and it was definitely not a temporary idea. The two are determined to make profits in chaos, and I can't be different from the two of them.
Yang Mengqi walked face to the edge of the bed, gritted his teeth and sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "This kind of traitor is not too good enough. I really can't wait to eat their meat and drink their blood.
Lin Zimo noticed her fierce appearance and did not feel the cold back, but felt the helplessness and desolation of a small person. He thought that things were really out of control, and he couldn't get rid of it. After all, he received 2,000 taels of silver from Zhang Chi. According to the criminal law set by Zhu Yuanzhang, officials will be stripped of 60 taels of silver. Now in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, what should the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty look like?
