Chapter 98 Kokura Mountain
Zhao Jin served as a county magistrate and served as a censor for many years. He was already familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty and knew more clearly how to avoid risks. He suggested that Zhao Hao not only need to be famous, but also try to scare the Qian family and induce them to sign the settlement document so that he can eliminate future troubles forever.
The wife beats the husband and the civilian beats the official to death, which is enough to scare the Qian family.
But even if Zhao Shouye was beaten to death, the Qian family might not believe him and die. After all, he walked out of the Qian family's door by himself last night.
At this time, a key figure who was enough to win the trust of the Qian family was needed to stand up to prove that Zhao Shouye was dying.
Constable Li Jiutian and Li who celebrated the festival in the previous episode are the best candidates.
People only know that Li Jiutian made trouble, but the deputy censor slapped him and went to the county government to ask the master to deal with it. As a result, Li Jiutian lost his job in the Caijiaxiang area and became a coolie and a constable who had no oil and water. He must have resented the Zhao family in his heart.
But I don’t know that Li Jiutian wants to get the understanding of the Zhao family.
Although he was a formal official who sued the Ministry of Personnel, even the county master could not fire him. However, the county master had already made it clear that he could only be transferred back to Caijia Lane if he had obtained the understanding of Censor Zhao Jin and Zhao.
Over the past month, Li Jiutian tried his best to finally meet Zhao Jin. But no matter how he kowtowed and begged, Zhao Jin only had one word for me, my brother forgives you, and I let you go. So Li Jiutian changed to flatter Zhao Hao, but Mr. Zhao stayed at home every day and couldn't meet him for a while, let alone flattering him.
Li Jiutian was so worried that he couldn't help. In the middle of the night last night, Zhao Hao asked someone to call him over and told him to cooperate in a scene today. When Li Jiutian heard this, he felt that he didn't have to have too much trouble, so he immediately patted his chest and agreed.
Therefore, he was waiting in the class room early. As soon as the Qian family came to report to the official, Li Jiutian immediately brought people out!
When he was at the Qian family earlier, it seemed that he was dealing with it impartially, but in fact he was secretly cooperating with Zhao Hao to force Mr. Qian to submit...
Of course, Zhao Shouye's serious injury and incurable appearance were also pretended.
On the carriage, Zhao Shouzheng looked at his brother using a wet wipe and wiping the beeswax applied to his face.
"Bao, this chicken blood is too fishy..." Zhao Shouye spitted out his scarlet tongue, his face full of disgust, and he looked dying.
"Brother, please be content." Zhao Shouzheng couldn't help but smile and said, "I originally wanted to break your two ribs so that you can act more realistically..."
"That hurts so much." Zhao Shouye said with lingering fear: "I can't stand that sin."
"Fortunately, nothing happened, so I got it done." Zhao Shouzheng was happy and couldn't help but say proudly: "It turns out that my son did it, so there was nothing that could not be done."
"Yes, thanks to Zhao Hao this time." Zhao Shouye also said with admiration: "Anyway, I was frightened when I heard him call someone and wanted to smash the Qian family. I thought to myself that the Qian family would not be able to give up now, and I don't know when the lawsuit will be fought."
As he said that, he said happily: "I didn't expect that he would scare the Qian family with a bluff. Not only did he sign the settlement document, he also offered 5,000 taels of silver and 500 acres of land."
"Brother has also sacrificed a lot this time," Zhao Shouzheng sighed softly, "There will be no one in the yamen for a short time, right?"
Youdao is to do the whole set of acting. Zhao Shouye can't be dying today, so he will go to work tomorrow, right? Even if a miracle in the medical world happens, he will have to have a recovery process and stay at home for a few months before talking about it.
Otherwise, if Mr. Qian saw him, he would have been lively in a few days, he would definitely not have finished it!
"That's natural." Zhao Shouye said dismissively: "But I don't want to be this official anymore. I'll take a break at home for a few months and look back to see if there is any way to transfer it. Even if it's demoted to be a magistrate, it's better than being in Nanjing City without a human being or a ghost."
"Oh, too, the tree is moved to death, the person is moved to survive, and the elder brother moves." Although Zhao Shouzheng was a little reluctant, he still had to consider it for his brother: "When you have time, you have to talk to Zhao Hao and let him help you learn more."
"Yes." Zhao Shouye nodded. After this incident, he already knew that the old man was not here, and who was the backbone of the Zhao family.
Back at Caijia Lane, Zhao Hao ordered Wu Yu to open a jar of silver, pick out 30 ingots of 5 taels per ingot, and reward them to thirty strong men.
The strong men were stumbled and refused to accept it. Last time they followed Dangtu, yelled: "The last time I went out for three days, the young master rewarded two taels of silver, which was extremely rich. This time it was only half a day, so I would never dare to accept so much."
"This time it's different. Everyone has to take responsibility and use their weapons. Please give me more." Zhao Hao stood in the carriage with his hands and smiled: "You just keep it in check. At worst, you can do it for me next time."
"Okay, Mr. Thank you! I'll do it for ten times in vain!" The strong men happily accepted the silver and left with great gratitude.
Then Zhao Hao pointed to the remaining nine and a half and said to Zhao Xian: "You can buy these silver for a few hundred taels of property, and save the rest to Wanyuan No. 1, plus those land, it will be enough for your family to have food and clothing."
"This..." Zhao Xian felt very uneasy when he saw Zhao Hao not taking any money. When he wanted to say something, Zhao Hao turned around and entered the alley, stretched his waist and shouted.
"Oh, I'm so tired that I'm so tired that no one is allowed to quarrel with me. I'm going to sleep all day!"
Things soon passed, and Zhao Hao's life returned to peace. He was full every day, never tired of eating, and he had no time to fight with Qiao Qiao, taught students a lesson, occasionally went to the store to show off his head, and then dictated the introduction to mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks in the evening, so that he should not live too well and leisurely...
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhao Hao was enjoying the cool air under the shade of the tree, and saw Zhao Xian poking his head outside the door.
"Brother, come in and sit down." Zhao Hao sat up and greeted Zhao Xian and said, "Try the big watermelon that I just sent in the morning."
"I'll eat good food with my brother." Zhao Xian was obviously relaxed a lot, but he was still a little restrained in front of Zhao Hao.
This younger brother who only knows how to be fooled in his memory has been like a different person since his family was hit, and it is awe-inspiring from the heart.
Wang Wuyang, who was fanning Zhao Hao while reading, gave up his seat to Zhao Xian. Then he put down the book, took a watermelon from the well, and quickly cut it open and put it on the plate.
"All have been settled?" Zhao Hao picked up the banana fan and fanned himself.
"Everything has been settled." Zhao Xian nodded and said, "I rented a three-in-one yard on the Dashiqiao side and bought a few maids and servants. It is more than enough to take care of our three."
"That's good." Zhao Hao nodded. According to his thoughts, the farther the uncle's family naturally lived, the better. But Zhao Shouye might be afraid of being bullied, and felt that he was more at ease in Caijia Lane where Zhao Hao was talking about, so he actually rented a house in this area.
Zhao Shouzheng was naturally very happy that he could meet his elder brother from time to time. Zhao Hao didn't talk nonsense when he saw this, but in such a hot day, he would never show up at his uncle's house.
Then he saw Zhao Xian take out a land deed from his sleeve and say to him: "The Qian family has transferred the five hundred acres of land to me, and your uncle asked me to transfer it to your name."
"No need." Zhao Hao didn't want to help others, and wanted to gain a bad reputation for taking advantage of others. He smiled and waved his hand, "I'm very happy if my uncle thinks about me. Why not keep it for the old man to support him."
"Oh..." Hearing him mention Zhao Liben, Zhao Xian said with a gloomy expression: "There is no news yet?"
"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "I sent a message to my hometown in the past, saying that the old man left a book and ran away, and only said that he would go to the mountains and rivers to visit us, so that we should not worry. A few days ago, I asked Wu Yu to travel to Xiuning again, but there was still no news."
"He is outside, and I don't know how much hardship he has suffered." Zhao Xian's eyes turned red, and he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, stuffed the land contract into Zhao Hao's arms and said, "Since you are here to support the old man, of course, it's best if you are brothers."
When Zhao Hao looked at the land deed, the name of the landlord on the top had been changed to himself. He knew that Zhao Shouye had made up his mind to repair it with him.
After all, it was a family, and he couldn't keep people from leaving much, so he picked up the deed and looked carefully, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Okurayama?
Isn’t this the location of the famous Suiyuan later?
Zhao Hao's heart moved and he did not refuse.
I heard Zhao Xian bit the bullet and say, "There is another thing..."
"speak."
"My father asked me to study, but I am really not that material. I want to learn business with you." Zhao Xian said in a low voice.
"How can that be done? You are the eldest son and grandson of my Zhao family. I dare not lead you astray." Zhao Hao waved his hand quickly and pinched Zhao Xian's thought and said, "The old man must make the decision on this matter, otherwise no one will say it."
After a pause, he smiled at Zhao Xian again and said, "Besides, when did you see me doing business? I am just a fool who makes a fool of yourself."
Seeing that Zhao Hao was not at all comfortable, Zhao Xian had to temporarily give up his thoughts.
