383 Chapter 44
After Duanmu Xinmiao left, Wei Changzheng was about to go back to his yard before leaving the house. The little maidservant Shi Yu greeted and yelled: "Master Shen Shen seeks out. Let the sisters wait for only the young lady. Only then. "
Shi Yu was brought in together with Zhu Yi and Zhu Luo. The other three little maids with her were called drizzle, smoky rain, and drizzle—when the candidates were settled, they would be given additional names according to the rules. Chang Ye gave Zhu Yi and Zhu Luo the ambassador's daughter, and the little maid made He Shi rise. He looked at the rain outside the eaves, and proposed these four names with a little thought.
Siyu was only twelve or three years old, and it was also when he was innocent and out of temper. However, after all, they did not grow up like Zhu Lan and waited for Wei Changxi. The master-servant relationship was deep, and they didn't commit too much. They even claimed that they could get the original script. So they have been very careful in front of Wei Changzheng.
At this moment, the rain showed a little bit of annoyance as soon as the obituary was announced, for fear that Wei Changyi would blame himself for agreeing to Shen Lun without asking.
"I'm thinking about whether to send someone to ask him to come here. I don't know if he still has a little wink!" Wei Changyu heard, but didn't hold Shi Yu, just snorted, turned his back and instructed, "Come in with him Come on! "
After a short while, Shen Lun stepped into the door and heard the head guard Chang Yan said coldly: "What's wrong with you?"
Although Shen Lun is older than Wei Changzheng, he and Shen Youyi are the same generation. In other words, he had to call Wei Changyi his mother-in-law like Brother Shen Youyi. At this moment, respectfully asked his mother-in-law, and said carefully: "There is something about the nephew who wants to delay telling his mother-in-law about Caojiabaobao."
Only in the face of Mu Chunmian, Shen Lun called Wei Changzheng "Mrs. Young" according to the official relationship. At this moment, she called her aunt and her nephew, and she came by private blood.
Wei Changxun was very upset that he had not given himself any reminders or introductions. He just brought Mu Chunmian to himself, and said at this moment: "How have you not finished talking about Caojiabao?" "
Shen Lun didn't tell Cao Jiabao the details of Wei Changzheng. Now he naturally understands that this is an irony. He was embarrassed for a while, and grinned: "My aunt forgive me, it is not the nephew who deliberately neglects the aunt. It is ... is the previous nephew One of the trustees told her aunt. But ... I just heard my aunt asked the Mu family, why the fortress of Caojiabao was a woman, and the nephew knew that the twenty-fifth brother ... I forgot it. "
Wei Changxi frowned slightly: twenty-five, in Shen Lun's generation, it was Shen Youyi who ranked twenty-fifth!
She couldn't help looking at Shen Lun under her eyes, and saw the nephew of this tribe neatly standing with his sleeves helpless.
It turned out that he didn't just want to remedy, but wanted to sue?
Wei Changyi groaned, but did not mention the words that Shen Youyi confronted, and only said: "You have something to tell Youyi to tell me? What is it?"
"The nephew thought that the identity of the owner of Caojiapu Fortress was a bit special, so he always had to speak with his aunt first." Shen Lun busily said, "There is also that Caojiapu seems to be a bit of a bandit in Taohua County over the years. relationship."
Wei Changxi frowned and asked, "Taohua County? Which government is it under? Why hasn't it perished so far?"
"If you return to your aunt, Taohua County is not our county of Xiliang." Shen Lun said, "Aunt wants to know that the Mengshan where Caojiabao is located is not all in our territory, and the three highest peaks of Mengshan are in neighboring states. This Taohua County is a county bordering our Xiliang. Mengshan crosses the county, and the entire county is built on the mountain! Bandits hide in Mengshan, and the Guanzhou Prefecture under the jurisdiction of Taohua County annihilated several times. Nothing, but we have never asked for help, and we are not good at sending troops. "
Wei Chang shouted: "It wasn't in Xiliang ... I said ... but how did Cao Jiabao get in touch with this bandit?"
Shen Lun lowered his throat: "The gangsters aren't actually all looters. Their main thing is smuggling!"
"Smuggling?" Wei Chang raised an eyebrow. "Smuggling smuggling salt?"
"My aunt said yes." Shen Lun introduced in detail the process of getting on the next two sides-in fact, in a few words: Shen's hold on Cao Jiabao from decades ago. Self-sufficiency, but in terms of salt, we still have to rely on out-of-town purchases. The death from the salt restricts the development of Caojiabao.
With this hand, Cao Jiabao was forced to pay heavy taxes in name, but in order to be able to buy salt in time, he had to serve under Shen's hands ... Although Shen Lun's wording was euphemistic, Wei Changyi listened. Every time Cao Jiabao sent out to buy salt, he had to bring money, chai, and other things to bribe Shen's, so as to avoid fruitless purchases.
This bribe is actually no worse than the tax they paid ... It's just that the people in Caojiabao have already become black households on the government side, and they can't even return to their hometown!
In this case, Cao Jiabao had to find another way. It happens that there is a nest of private salt dealers who also operate as bandits in Taohua County ... can they be together?
"The Mu family looked no older than me. A womanly woman is so courageous ... I thought of a private salt dealer," said Wei Chang, pulling the bracelet on his wrist, indifferently. "You Now that you know this, you must have known it in the clan? How did they keep colluding with them? "
Shen Lun explained quickly: "I didn't know. The family originally decided to deal with Caojiabao immediately, but it was a private salt dealer in Taohua County. It had a certain origin. After the twenty-fourth brother knew it, he specifically instructed not to touch Caojiabao for the time being. , May use Caojiabao to subdue those people! "
Twenty-four is the ranking of Shen Youjia. Although this Duwei clan nephew mixes with the soldiers all the year round, it is rough and bold and somewhat uninteresting, but Wei Changyi tasted that Shen Zangfeng mentioned that Shen Youjia was not a mediocre, he liked The person who wants to come is not ordinary, and unexpectedly said, "Is this still the case?" He immediately asked, "What is their origin?"
"As far as my nephew knows, there is a man named Lai Dayong, a private soldier recruited by a large family in Guanzhou to prevent bandits." Shen Lun groaned for a moment and said, "This person is as brave as his name. The big family repulsed the bandits many times, and the credit was not small! As a result, the big family's son and his father Xiaoyi cheated on him, and they were met by Lai Dayong. Ai ...
"This Lai Dayong is also a good method. He drove the people from that big family and the encirclement of the Guanzhou government to siege, and took refuge in Mengshan. The Guanzhou government also issued a period of sea catch for this. Documents, but because the truth was revealed, the big family consciously lacked face, and asked the government to withdraw the documents. After that, no one paid attention to Lai Dayong, and then he got his attention, just to find that he somehow tangled a group of people, not only The entire private salt trade in Guanzhou City is almost monopolized! And it also annexed all the smaller robbers in Mengshan, occupying a site of the boss and setting up the name Mengshan Gang. "
Shen Lun's voice was low. "This man is very deliberate. When he swallows up other bandits, he always keeps a group of people not to kill and keep them in the gang! Whenever the government robbers break them, they will break their legs. On the way of the officers and soldiers. Since the officers and soldiers have got credit for this, their desperate thoughts have faded. "
Wei Chang stunned and said, "Is Guanzhou Shishi taking his filial respect?"
Shen Lun laughed without saying a word, but her look was the default.
Wei Changyi thought for a while, and said, "Since it is from Jia's side, I don't want to ruin his affairs. Mu Chunmian ... I used to give her this gold today, and now, first, The horizontal Mengshan Gang is not in Xiliang, but Caojiabao can't fly away. Send someone to pay close attention to Caojiabao, don't tell them to sneak into the neighboring county to join the Mengshan Gang, it's ridiculous! "
Shen Lun said busyly: "Mother-in-law, please rest assured, there is only one road up and down in Caojiabao, but there are 3,000 people living in it. It is impossible to let them sneak away!" Then he smiled and said, "Not to mention that Mengshan The leader Lai Dayong is not a charitable person. He didn't have the heart to accept Caojiabao's 3,000 fortresses to Mengshan! Caojiabao would go to Mengshan to surrender our Shen family! "
Wei Changxi nodded slightly, and said, "Why did Cao Jiabao call a woman to be the master of the fortress and still be a woman with no children under her knees? Or did the sister-in-law raising her knees not bring this time?"
"If you return to your mother," Shen Lun shook his head. "Cao Bao, Cao Jiabao's predecessor, died prematurely. It is really the only Cao Ya daughter!"
Then he said, "Then Cao Ya is the young master of Cao Jiabao, which is recognized by the entire Cao Jiabao."
Wei Changxuan was surprised, and said, "How can this be? Is that wood Chunmian so powerful?"
Shen Lun coughed and said, "The only thing that the family members have heard and heard is that the Namu family seems to have something to do with Lai Dayong, and even the death of Cao Bao has something to do with these two people."
Wei Changxi frowned slightly and said: "When Cao Bao was in contact with the Mengshan Gang, it was him who was right. Is Dalai Yong dare to enter Caojiabao? If not, how could he meet Mu?"
"It is said to be like this." Shen Lun said, "Although Cao Bao inherited Cao Jiabao from his ancestors, it was an immoral decision to buy salt from Mengshan Gang, which was made by Mu's. At that time, Lai Dayong asked Cao Bao Going to talk in person, Cao Bao refused to kill him. He even accused Mu Shi of hurting him ... Later Mu Qi went in person!
"Just go here ...?"
Shen Lun shook his head again: "It wasn't true that time, because Mu was already pregnant at that time, so she walked back to the mountainside and was chased back by Cao Bao's elders. Finally, an elder from Caojiabao went on his behalf It turned out that the price was really negotiated with Mengshan Gang. So Mu's prestige rose sharply, but Cao Bao disappointed the people in the fortress. "
"and then?"
"Then Cao Jiabao bought salt from Mengshan Gang a few times, and the middle price changed. On one occasion, the elders who had gone to talk for the first time couldn't decide, so they went back and asked Cao Bao to talk in person. Ken moved forward, but Mu's production was only full moon at that time. After knowing it, he went in person regardless of everyone's persuasion. "Shen Lun said," This seems to be very happy with Lai Dayong, and she didn't return to Caojiabao long, Cao Bao He died of violent illness. Originally, after Cao Bao's death, there was only one woman under his knee. According to rules, Cao Bao's brother Cao Yu should take over the position of the fortress. But the Mu family did not know what measures were used to attract most of the elders in the fort. He accused Cao Yu of being unreasonable in Cao Jiabao and not worthy of being the master of the fortress. He forced Cao Yu out of power and became the master of the fortress himself.
