When the sick Yuchi saw Zhang Liping talking nonsense, he refused to give in. He became impatient. He raised the stick in his hand and shouted: "After talking about it, he still refused to be obedient. Young men, break one of his legs!"

Seeing that the momentum was not good, Zhang Liping was shocked and with a archer on his waist, he wanted to find a gap to escape.

At this moment, someone shouted in the distance: "Is the Shi Erlang in front of you? The lady is looking for you and said there is something urgent!"

Hearing the sound, the sick Yuchi stopped and turned around to look at a middle-aged man nearly a hundred steps away. He carried a load on his shoulder, as if he had just returned from where to deliver food. The man was very alert, but he looked from afar and did not step forward, ready to run away at any time.

The sick Yuchi held the stick and said coldly to the middle-aged man carrying the load: "If there is something important to Zhang's twelve Lang and our brothers, you should go back first and let his wife wait with peace of mind. If you can't wait, you can send two people to carry him home."

The middle-aged man moved his foot gently, quietly took a stance to escape, and said, "The heroes are spared. Today, a great official brought a lot of gold, silver and cloth to visit the Zhang family, saying that Zhang Xianggong had great kindness to him during his lifetime. Now this great official has made his fortune, saying that he wants to repay Zhang Xianggong and support this family. After all, the Zhang family is an official family. If someone supports him, the old tree may sprout and become a giant family again. The heroes carefully kicked the iron plate with this kick!"

The sick Yuchi snorted coldly: "Any great official dares to swear loudly! There are not a thousand or eight hundred in Luoyang City, and how many of them are so ill Yuchi's eyes!"

"Hey, you guys usually drink and eat meat, come and go without any quarrel, and you can also be regarded as the number one person. However, this great official heard that he was the new Jingxi Road Transporter, and there were thousands of people under him. I wonder if the heroes are afraid or not?"

After hearing this, Yan Yuchi took a breath. Although few officials took them to his eyes, it was because they were all settled like the Zhang family, and they all rely on means to make trouble. But if they were really in power, not to mention the transshipment commander of Jingxi Road, even the inspectors of Luoyang and Henan counties could even peel off his skin. It is better to be in charge of the current officials. These street gangsters don’t take the emperor seriously when they brag about them. The world is big. But if they really take care of them, a public official in the yamen may scare them to death without having to magistrates. The county magistrate can make them lose their souls even if they glar at them.

The gangsters on the side did not have the intention of being sick Yuchi, and just shouted: "Listen to the mud-legged swearing, what is the character of the husband who is the fortune-teller? How could he stand up for a house in the dilapidated house? Brother, just fight the guy in front of him half to death!"

The sick Yuchi shook his head and said to Zhang Liping: "You guy is an ant in front of me, and you'll be killed with one finger! Let you go today to see the face of the fortune master. No matter whether the guy who carries the man said it is true or false, since you mention the name of your husband, it will always be a bit difficult! You go back and ask clearly. If you really have a fortune master at home, you won't have to go to the Sansi Shop to do miscellaneous work. If you don't hum, then you won't be able to do anything!"

Seeing that he let him go, Zhang Liping felt a sense of pride. He was surrounded by such strong men and said that he was not afraid of it being fake. But he couldn't bear to leave the work he had finally found, and he couldn't bear to leave the dozens of copper coins in his arms. That was the meal money for several days at home, and he was so stalemate here.

As for the transferee who came to the Zhang family to repay the kindness of Mr. Zhang Zhibai back then, he was too nervous just now and didn't listen at all. He just knew that a noble man had come to his family and he would not have to suffer any more.

In Zhang's house, everyone gathered in the hall and chattered.

A woman in her fifties said: "The wealth brought by that official was brought in by several people, and it looked really a lot. I only looked at the piles there, but I didn't count how much."

As soon as these words were spoken, several women responded together and urged Mrs. Zhang to order the gifts Xu Ping brought.

Mrs. Zhang knew in her heart that these people were thinking of dividing the gifts. It was a loss of money to find a few capable people to support Xu Ping to revitalize the family business. The money they got was real. But this gift was given to Zhang Zhibai's descendants. To be precise, it was from her own family. How could it be divided into one? Besides, if you really want to buy a property in the future, you can't let Xu Ping pay it back. The money is of great use to keep it.

Seeing Mrs. Zhang pretending to be stupid and disagreeable, a few people couldn't help it. They said one by one, one by one, and insidiously mocked Mrs. Zhang for being greedy for money and didn't give it to everyone if they had money.

A scholar in his thirties could not bear it and said loudly: "These gifts were all repaying my husband's kindness for his knowledge and were used to maintain his family business. How can he move them? In the following view, even if the wife sealed up the wealth and used it when encountering major events, don't worry about others! How can we, a family like us, have no money left in the box!"

"How do you know if you have any? How many things do you know about Madam?"

Someone in the crowd said this sarcastically, making the scholar in the blue shirt blushed.

Mrs. Zhang is a woman who comes from a scholarly family and can't listen to a slutty word in her usual way. She can't help but be at a loss when encountering such a scene. But she made up her mind and didn't say anything no matter what others said.

At this moment, the person standing outside said, "Oh, Shi Erlang is back! See what he says!"

Zhang Liping was covered in sweat and was still trembling. He didn't feel it when he was confronting someone just now, but when he left, he felt scared and had cold sweats on his body. He walked on the road too anxiously, and the cold sweat was not dry and sweating too much. This feeling is hard to describe.

Crowding into the crowd, Zhang Liping saluted Mrs. Zhang and said, "I wonder what urgent matters are there for my wife to call me back?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "Do you know that the new Jingxi Road Transportation Envoy is Xu Ping, whom Weng recommended by Weng, who was the deputy envoy of Sansi Salt and Iron in front. He is now making his fortune and came to Luoyang to become an official, saying that he wanted to repay Weng's kindness back then. Today he gave many gifts. Also, he said that I would find two smart and capable people in the clan to find a living and earn some interest to support the family business. In our family, you are the only one who can work outside to support the family. This kind of talent can only be found on you, and go to the Transportation Envoy Office to visit Ducao two days later."

"It turns out that Yao Wulang, who sells vegetables, is not lies. I thought he made up a rumor and scared Yuchi a few people! With such great people, why worry about not making a fortune in our family? Those Sansi shops were made by Xu Xianggong as the deputy envoy of salt and iron. Now they make countless money for Sansi a year. As long as they leak some of them, they will be enough for our family to eat."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but say happily: "If you say this, can this really happen?"

Xu Ping told her earlier that Mrs. Zhang was still half-believing and half-doubted. The fortune-teller was a big shot. Naturally, he knew that if he was willing to arrange a few people in his family to work in the yamen, he could do it, but if he asked for any money to make a living for the family, she was really unsure. Nowadays, there are many people who do business with the government, and some make money, but more people who break the family. Those who can do business with the government safely and make sure to make profits without losing money, then the power behind it must be quite large. Since there is such a force, why should you still worry about labor by yourself? Go directly to cheat and steal, and turn the government into your own family, which is not easier and more comfortable.

When doing business with the government, it’s okay to say that when everyone is happy, it’s easy to say that once the government encounters any difficulties, it’s light to cheat the merchants and it’s not uncommon to lose money. The reason is very simple. The government cannot lose money when doing business, and there is no risk. Once something happens, it will be borne by the cooperative merchants.

At this time, the official industry is handed over to merchants to run, and they almost always have to buy pony. The price is determined. Whether to lose money or make money depends on the merchant's own methods. Otherwise, if both parties have a conflict of interests and don't understand what they say, the merchant will lose all of it in the end. It is to buy pony, and there are some places where prices are randomly increased, which is unreasonable.

The official account of property involves strict content, of course this is also the credit of the three departments. As long as there is a loss on the books, the official assessment that is handled will be light, and often it will be regarded as stealing official property, which will be serious. Officials are not fools, so how can they take this blame? Of course, they have to be transferred to merchants.

Whether it is wine, salt or tea, once a private merchant is introduced, they often give up a certain part of the interests, and the official will let go completely. This is the same. If you take care of it, the officials will be responsible and you will get benefits. But if an accident occurs, it may be the result of being exiled by the army and exiled. If the property is confiscated, why not let go? For merchants, they will not dare to participate if the official does not let go, otherwise the property will not be enough for the officials to cheat.

In Mrs. Zhang's opinion, what Xu Ping said was most likely to be handing over a certain restaurant in the government to the Zhang family. If it was following the previous rules of buying pounce, it would be hard to say whether it would make a profit or lose. But now, after hearing what Zhang Liping said, it seems that Xu Ping has other ways of cooperation? If there is really no big risk, it would be really great.

Zhang Liping often hangs in Sansi Shop and has heard of many things about Xu Ping. Unlike other people in the Zhang family, he only knows that he is a new transshipment officer, a high-ranking official in the court, and knows nothing else. According to Xu Ping's past, it is very likely that he would not rely on the government, but just ask his family's property to help the Zhang family, which would be much more reliable.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was still skeptical, Zhang Liping said, "Madam, I heard from the shop that Deputy Envoy Xu's family is a ministry in Kaifeng City. There are countless ways to make money. Since he said he would help us, he would be reliable. Why not do this? I will go to the Transportation Office to see how it is?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded: "This is the best."
