Volume 3: The world is in turmoil, and the undercurrent continues Chapter 378: What to do
Du Laosan looked at the gold in the box, which was at least a hundred taels. He closed it slowly, smacked his lips and sighed: "Hey, it's easy for you businessmen to make money. This gold and silver is like paper."
It’s the same, unlike us poor errands who work so hard and work so hard for only a few taels of silver, which is barely enough for food and clothing, and it’s hard to even listen to a piece of music.”
Sitting across from him was Wang Houchen, the current head of the Wang family.
After Wang Ruoyan left, the Wang family could not teach the disabled Wang Gongyong to take care of it. Naturally, Wang Houchen, the second wife, had to bear the brunt and became the mainstay. There is no doubt about this, and Wang Yunshan's indifference and tacit approval of this phenomenon.
Wang Xinghe became the third generation young master of the Wang family. The more people he came into contact with, the more flattery he heard. In this case, his vanity would also expand. This is understandable, but there must be a way to everything.
It was obvious that Wang Xinghe no longer cared about these things.
"Mr. Du, you are so noble. You handled the case, and you have the final say on how it will be decided. This is the deposit. After the deal is completed, I will give you a big thank you." Wang Houchen said, cupping his hands.
Du Laosan frowned and put the small box on the table: "I've already asked Jiang Ning about this, it's business."
"Public?" Wang Houchen looked a little ugly. If it were him, he would not choose to be private. After all, Jiang Ning is not short of money.
"But it's official. It's also your case, Mr. Du. How to report it to the superiors is up to you, Mr. Du. If you think you need to do something, just give me your orders." Wang Houchen stood up and held his hands in front of Du Laosan.
in front of me.
"Although that's the case, there are quite a few officials present, and all of you are aware of it. If you ask me about it in the future, it won't be easy for me..." Du Laosan patted the box.
Wang Houchen hurriedly said: "As long as the dog can be safe and sound..."
"How much more is needed? Let me calculate it when I go back. There are three adults who have recorded confessions on the spot. At least these three have to be settled. Things are not easy to handle..." Du Laosan thought for a while and said:
"Jiang Ning has friendship with Lord Tong, the prefect, and Lord Tan, the general. If Jiang Ning is not satisfied, this matter will not be easy to handle. The best way is to let Jiang Ning let go."
"But with the relationship between your two families, it is probably unrealistic to achieve this. The matter is too difficult." Du Laosan still shook his head, looked at the hundred taels of gold on Table Mountain, and clicked his tongue: "
I'll give it a try, but if you have other means, you don't have to hide it. I've said everything that needs to be said. If it were an ordinary person, my old face would be okay, but this is Jiang Ning..."
Du Laosan stood up holding the small box, sighed and left.
Wang Houchen slowly sat back on the chair and let out a long breath. He never imagined that Jiang Ning's matter would be so difficult.
Last month he was the son-in-law of his Wang family, but this month he has become a figure that even Mr. Du and the others shun.
"Master..." Mrs. Zhou stood at the door, watching Wang Houchen come back with a sad look on his face. He already knew that something was wrong. While he felt sorry for Wang Houchen, he also felt sorry for Wang Xinghe, who was imprisoned today.
Wang Houchen said nothing, walked straight into the house, and slammed the door with his backhand, making a "bang" sound.
That night, Du Laosan came to Wang Houchen's house with the box in his arms: "Take it back, this thing can't be done. If you want to see me, I will arrange it for you. I can't do other things. There is a lot of gold."
.”
"It can't be done...what do you mean..." Zhou said in panic.
Du Laosan opened the door with a cold snort and prepared to go out: "If it doesn't work out, unless Jiang Ning withdraws the case, otherwise, hmm, at least he will be sent to the border area."
"Designed to the frontier...how could..." Wang Houchen was dumbfounded. He still knew a little about the law. Injuring people with weapons was only minor injuries. At most, he would stay in prison for a year or two, and then move around for a few months.
It just came out, and it wouldn't even be delayed for years. How could it be distributed to the frontier? Or at least?
Du Laosan said: "How come it's not possible? It's been two years since Jiang Ning married into a wife, and you don't even know that he is an official of the imperial court?"
"Official official of the imperial court...this...where do we start talking about this..." Wang Houchen hurriedly caught up with Du Laosan who stepped out with one foot.
When did Jiang Ning obtain the imperial examination? The imperial examination was not held at all in the past two years. Because of the Fang La disaster, the imperial examination was postponed until the autumn. How was this imperial examination obtained?
Du Laosan sighed and said: "Hey, his official position should not be low. I heard this from others, and Mr. Tong said it himself. As for why it was not announced, I don't know."
"What Mr. Tong said must not be false. Otherwise, the wedding last month would not have alarmed the two adults. No matter how rich you are, you will be nothing more than a matter of control in front of the court. You two
How could the Lord personally entertain you there?
"You don't have to think about it. Is Jiang Ning still your Wang family's son-in-law?" Du Laosan shook his head: "The easiest way is to ask someone to find Jiang Ning and let him keep him secret. Otherwise, haha, I will beat the court.
Officer, what do you think?"
Du Laosan left, leaving only Wang Houchen under the moonlight. It was obviously the end of summer, but he felt the biting cold wind.
Beating a court official, ranging from exile to death, no matter how Jiang Ning pursues him, as long as he pursues it, it will be a dead end.
Wang Houchen walked to Wang Yunshan's yard. The lights in the study room were still on. Wang Houchen was pacing here, but he never dared to knock on the door. Wang Yunshan still had a lot of weight in his mind.
"Come in and call the third room." Wang Yunshan said in the study.
Wang Houchen knew that Wang Yunshan already knew the whole story.
"yes……"
After a while, Wang Houchen pulled Wang Bonan, who was sorting his clothes, and knocked on the door of Wang Yunshan's study.
"Has Xinghe come back?" Wang Yunshan looked extremely calm under the candlelight. He glanced at the two of them and sighed slightly, as if everything was under control: "It seems that it is gone."
"Not yet... not yet..." Wang Houchen hesitated.
Wang Yunshan asked again: "What do you say, Mr. Du? It is said that this matter is not too difficult."
"Lord Du said...Jiang Ning is an official of the imperial court...the youngest in Xinghe...is also an exile..." Wang Houchen said and knelt down with a plop.
Wang Bonan was still a little hysterical, but he had heard about Wang Xinghe's incident. He planned to call Wang Suwen over tomorrow and told him not to cause trouble to Jiang Ning, but now he heard such explosive news.
"Imperial official? How is that possible? He doesn't...have no fame. When did it happen?" Wang Bonan reacted quickly and asked.
"Tong... Master Tong said it himself..."
"Master Taishou? That's impossible..." Wang Bonan still wanted to speak, and looked up at Wang Yunshan. A trace of panic flashed across his originally calm face. Such an expression had never been seen by Wang Yunshan even when the Manichaeans entered the city.
But now...
