The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 461

[Chapter 461 There is also a young master supporting us!]

Fang Xiu looked at him and said: “That thing I told you before”

“Keep it in my heart, I won’t forget it, don’t worry.”

After Wu Yi finished speaking, he turned and left.

Zhao Yan looked at Fang Xiu with a curious look on her face and asked, “What’s going on?”

Fang Xiu said seriously: “It’s a major event that benefits the country and the people.”

When Zhao Yan heard this, she curled her lips and said, “You two What great things can he do to benefit the country and the people?”

Fang Xiu did not refute, but his eyes flickered and he subconsciously glanced at the south.

Gusu City, a house somewhere.

Qian was sitting in front of a desk, quietly reading his book – “The Romance of the West Chamber”.

The “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” he brought from the capital and the “Water Margin” he found in Tangfu have been read several times. Although they are not memorized by heart, they can really retell them completely. .

Because Gusu City is quite far away from the capital, Zhuxuanzhai can only buy an earlier version of “The Romance of the West Chamber” here.

Very few men read “The Romance of the West Chamber”, but after Qian Zheng read it, he discovered that this book is not just a description of the love-hate entanglement between Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng as others said, but more of a human connection.

“Money is in charge, money is in charge!”

He was watching intently when he suddenly heard an urgent cry from outside the door.

Then I saw a boy hurriedly entering the house.

Qian Zheng glanced back and saw that the boy was in a panic. He frowned subconsciously and asked, “What’s going on? You’re so flustered?”

This boy was not one of the guards, just one of the guards. Some refugees recruited in Gusu City.

It doesn’t require much wages, just some food, and you are willing to work hard.

Of course, even so, few people in Gusu City are willing to hire these refugees who have fled from the Central Plains.

Except for a small number of people who had actually been bandits in the past, most of them were prejudiced. After the boy stood still, he took a breath and

said

with an eager look on his face: “Manager Qian, there is someone in the Yamen again!”

If we don’t hand over the land within three days, we will send people to seize it and fine us money!”

Qian Zheng frowned deeply when he heard this, but his mood did not change much. , just asked in a deep voice: “Does Manager Liu know about this matter?”

“I have sent someone to find Manager Liu, and he should be here by now.”

The boy replied.

Qian Zheng nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face, thought for a while, and said, “I understand this matter. If you don’t have anything else to do, just go down.

Don’t make any noise and do your own thing well.”

“Okay, little one. I understand.”

When the young man heard this, he nodded. He remembered the rules that Manager Qian taught him before, stood upright, bowed respectfully, and said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

After that, , and left the house step by step.

After the boy left, Qian Zheng picked up “The Romance of the West Chamber” on the table, but he couldn’t read it anymore.

He stood up and walked around the room for a few steps. After all, he couldn’t hold it any longer, sighed, and left the room.

“Get ready, I’m going to the outskirts of the city!”

“Understood! Manager Qian, please wait!”

A moment later, Qian was riding a horse and came out with a few Fang Mansion guards who came from the capital with the caravan. city.

In this city of Suzhou, as long as you can afford the money, nothing matters.

For example, in the capital, even the princes and nobles would never be able to ride horses in the city without His Majesty’s will or a special urgent military order.

However, in this Gusu City, as long as you pay ten taels of silver every month, you can ride a horse in the city. Of course, the prerequisite is that you are very skilled and will not hit pedestrians.

If you hit a pedestrian, in addition to paying the pedestrian’s medical expenses, you also need to pay a certain fine.

The last time, when the Fang Mansion’s escort arrived in Gusu City, they took a lot of money with them.

It is not a problem to pay the monthly traveling fee of ten taels of silver for ten guards.

After the few people left Gusu City, they didn’t pay attention to bumping into pedestrians. They moved faster and arrived at the sweet potato field in no time.

A new house was built next to a field of more than ten acres.

Compared to the wind and rain shelters built by other farmers, this house couldn’t be more luxurious.

Although the area is not large, if it is squeezed in, a dozen people can live in it.

In addition, the houses are built with bricks and stones, unlike other farmers who only have thatched sheds in the fields.

“Xu——”

Qian Zheng arrived in front of the house and got off his horse.

The people in the house had already heard the noise and came out.

A total of seven people, all of whom were elite members of the Fang Mansion’s guards.

The leader was none other than Liu Dong, who had been whipped before.

Of course, it’s Manager Liu now.

Because they had already established a preliminary foothold in Gusu City, in addition to the Fang Mansion guards, their subordinates also had some recruited servants and dozens of farmers.

Naturally, there will be more people in charge.

Manager Zhao is responsible for many matters in the city, as well as how to get along with the ‘nobles from aristocratic families’ in Gusu City.

Qian Zheng is mainly responsible for the sweet potatoes in the fields and the farmers who take care of them. He only occasionally goes back to his hometown to rest for a while.

Liu Dong has now become the manager, and those responsible are naturally the guards.

Although the three stewards were of equal rank and there was no distinction between superior and inferior, the final decision was still made by Qian Zheng, who was personally appointed by the young master.

“Manager Qian”

Liu Dong saw Qian Zheng and walked quickly to him.

Qian Zheng looked at him and asked, “Do you know everything about the Yamen?”

“I just heard,”

Liu Dong replied.

Qian Zheng nodded and asked, “What are your thoughts?”

Liu Dong thought for a while, with a ruthless look on his face, and said, “I have seen all the arrests and agents in the Yamen of Gusu City. They are a bunch of crooked melons.” Split Zao, it’s okay to bully those ruffians, but what kind of master do you really meet? Hey, I’m here to work with Qian, you promise. As long as the soldiers guarding the city don’t get involved

, those policemen really can’t do anything to us

.

!

If they dare to grab the land, I will take my brothers and smash their legs!”

Qian Zheng thought about it and said, “The matter hasn’t reached that point yet. Manager Zhao and I won’t do anything about it these days! It’s really not possible to go to the Yamen to discuss with the magistrate for a while.”

He paused at this point and continued: “Both Manager Zhao and I have not been to Wu Mansion yet.”

“Wu Mansion? They are responsible for the land acquisition this time. Damn it, Mr. Zhao, if you go, it will be in vain,”

Liu Dong said.

Qian Zheng said nothing, his eyes flickered.

Then, he raised his eyes and looked at Liu Dong, and said in a deep voice: “The reason I came here this time is to tell you to be prepared for the worst. Pay more attention to the movements nearby with your brothers in the past few days.

If you really encounter it, What’s going on?”

After a pause, his voice became a little cold: “Young Master is still supporting us, so just go ahead and do it!”
