Chapter 71
Chapter 69 There are such good things!
When Wang Daxia was involved in the murder of Chen Dalang, he was interrogated at the Shuntian Mansion’s Yamen as a suspect. Zhang Tianshi, who bought the land, was inconvenient to name it on the spot because of his unusual buyer status. Later, he wrote it on a note and gave it to the suffering owner. Chen Qianhu and Shuntian Mansion Yin Wang’s loach looked over and burned after reading.
At that time, Wang Qianhu thought that it must be a big man Chen Qianhu could not afford to provoke, but he never thought it was Lu Bing.
Lu Bing had married four wives under the ritual system of the Ming Dynasty. The entitlement for his wife was limited to the original spouse and heir. The third wife would not be able to get enlightenment.
However, Lu Bing’s status is special. The court has set a precedent for him repeatedly. Moreover, his third wife Zhang is the daughter of Anding Bo Zhang Rong, a well-known lady, and his father Anding Bo also walked out of the way, begging for his daughter, and his maiden’s family status. High and hard-spirited, so the Ministry of Rites made an exception and agreed to Lu Bing’s request to be sealed, and also gave Zhang Shi a first-grade wife.
When it came to the fourth wife of the Zhao family, Zhao’s father Zhao Zupeng was an editor and editor of the Hanlin Academy, and was once the enlightenment teacher of Lu Bing’s son Lu Yi Lu Cai. Zhao Zupeng’s official position is not high, and his reputation is not good. Relying on his son-in-law being Lu Bing, he was unscrupulous in corruption, bribery, and bullying. Similar to Jia Yucun who enlightened Lin Daiyu in “A Dream of Red Mansions”, his aspirations were rampant.
Zhao Zupeng’s actions offended the people of the Ministry of Rites. Lu Bing was rejected when he asked for the title of Zhao’s family. Because his father-in-law didn’t pay attention, he always caused trouble for Lu Bing, so Lu Bing didn’t insist after being rejected by the Ministry of Rites and gave up .
Therefore, the three wives on the tombstone all have a first-class fate, and only the Zhao family is a simple “Tomb of the Zhao family’s dead wife”.
The four wives are in one place, just to make up a table of Mahjong, and they are not lonely.
It turned out that Lu Bing felt a crisis after his first minor stroke. He was a person who took one step and looked ten steps, so he invited Zhang Tianshi in advance to choose a shady house for him.
Zhang Tianshi carefully ventilates the yin and yang, and took the gossip to calculate on the outskirts of the capital. He chose a piece of land in Sanlitun outside Chaoyangmen, which was Wang Daxia’s mother’s dowry field.
Zhang Tianshi said this is a treasured land of geomantic omen, which can protect future generations.
It is not convenient for Lu Bing to come forward, because if he buys the land in his true form, the landlord will definitely give the land with his hands without any money, so as to cling to the rich and powerful without waiting for him to speak.
Lu Bing was not short of money and didn’t want to pay the debt of favor because of this, so he hid behind the scenes and asked Zhang Tianshi to make a deal with Wang Daxia, and came forward to buy the land in Sanlitun and transform it into a yin house.
The tomb cannot be built in a day. What’s more, when Lu Bing married four wives, they had to be buried one by one. In addition, Lu Bing suffered a stroke again a month later and was unable to move. Lu Bing urged the construction period of the Yin House to save future generations. Get ready and rush for it. If you can’t rush over, at least your child will be calm when doing funerals for him, and just carry it over and bury it.
Li Jiubao’s father and brother have been bricklayers for generations. His father Li Wei also participated in the construction of the mansion where Lu Bing now lives. He is good at craftsmanship. Therefore, when the Lu family was in urgent need of employment in Sanlitun, they recruited Li Jiubao’s father and brother.
In this way, Li Wei is still Lu Bing’s gravedigger.
Wang Qianhu was driven out by the guard of the tomb. There was no way. The original dowry field became Lu Bing’s yin house, and he would definitely not be able to redeem it. So he asked a broker to find out where there was land for sale in the suburbs of Beijing.
In the end, Wang Qianhu took a fancy to a piece of land in Wulitun outside Zhengyangmen, and spent two thousand two hundred silver to buy it-he also added two hundred taels inside, and the title deed read Wang Daxia’s name.
When Wang Daxia left the yamen and went home, Wang Qianhu gave the new land lease to his son, “I will accept the silver returned by Miss Yingying. I am afraid that you will take the silver and spend it indiscriminately, so he bought Zhengyangmen. Collect the fields in Waiwulitun. The land in Sanlitun outside Chaoyangmen has been converted into a cemetery by the buyer and cannot be redeemed.”
Wang Daxia looked at the title deed. After all, he was his father. Now that the family is so difficult, his father also paid two hundred taels of private money to buy land for him.
Wang Daxia was a little annoyed that his father always sponsored this and that for him in his name. He always felt that he was a prodigal, and as soon as he had money in his hand, he would throw it out.
In the predicament, the father also paid two hundred taels of silver, which should be good to him, but the father clearly did good things, but there was no good word in his mouth. He always suppressed and belittled him, just like an enemy-father and outsiders. You know how to be polite and take care of other people’s emotions when you speak. Why do I always be ruthless to my son?
Do good deeds, let go of harsh words, what is the picture?
Wang Daxia accepted the land deed and said: “The annual income of the Wulitun Country Village must be collected by the butler, and used to supplement the household, and I don’t need to give it to me.”
Wang Qianhu felt relieved that his son finally took responsibility, but he still said sternly, “Now that you have an errand, are you still eating and drinking for nothing at home? I will be dismissed in the fall. responsibility.”
Wang Daxia choked. If he had nothing to do tonight, he might have quarreled with his father on the spot.
I didn’t make the fall in the family way!
Wang Daxia got up and said, “I have something else to do, let’s go out first.”
Wang Qianhu: “It’s dark, are you going there? Go to the neighbor’s little widow again? The widow has a lot of disputes in front of her house. There have been many unpleasant rumors lately, so stop.
Wang Daxia couldn’t help refuting, “Father already knows that it is a rumor, what should I do with him? How can a good person be influenced by the rumor? Be a slave to the rumor?”
Wang Qianhu said: “When a man has a family and a business, he can set up a house. You will talk about marriage and marry a famous lady. Now the rumors about you and your neighbors and widows are flying all over the sky. How can anyone be willing to marry their daughter to you?”
Wang Daxia laughed loudly, “Oh, there are such good things? Just to my liking!”
After that, Wang Daxia walked away, suddenly in a very good mood!
“You come back to me!” Wang Qianhu was about to suffer a stroke of anger, “Nizi! Nizi!”
It was Mubaihu who came to comfort him, “Don’t be angry, Daxia is like this, take good care of her second child, Daqiu, everything is in time. Daqiu has no mother now, so Qianhou should care more about him.”
Wang Daxia rushed to Toutiao Hutong, and under the cover of night, secretly entered the medicine shop that was being renovated through the back door.
Lu Ying came here tonight and called his subordinates for discussion.
The pharmacy barn is brightly lit, and the south wall is covered with a portrait of a Bailian believer. One of the portraits is circled with a vermilion brush, and next to it is written “Wu Dianyong, pass the head”.
The White Lotus Sect is strictly hierarchical. From top to bottom, there are one leader, four Chuantou (also called old official, hexagram master), eight Xiangzhang (also called altar master), and the lowest-level believers. Male believers are called the public. Women are called Erzhong or Erdao—even if it is an evil/religion, it is also a woman with the lowest status.
The public and the two people call each other Dao Qin.
Lu Ying pointed to the portrait of Wu Dayong, “He is one of the four great successors of the White Lotus Sect, with a very high status. The portrait is of Jin Yiwei during the Gengwu Rebellion ten years ago, when Jin Yiwei spied him and saw him lead the way for Alta Khan’s army. It was traced by a painter.”
“This person has a mole in the middle of his left eyebrow. I don’t know what his name is. Wu Dianyong, the shopkeeper of Wanhuo Co., Ltd., has the same characteristics. But Wu Dianyong is fatter and bigger than this person, and he has a moustache, which is half a piece smaller. His face is covered with beard, not quite sure.”
Wang Daxia said: “Ten years have passed, and the middle-aged is blessed.”
Ding Wu said: “Wu Dianyong was there when I went to give gifts to the owner of Wanhuo Trading Company. He seemed to be Boss Wang’s confidant. According to my observations over the past few days, Wu Dianyong controlled the warehouse in and out. He appeared in the shop, and every time a large amount of goods was put into the warehouse, he would check and count the items himself.”
Lu Ying said: “Go and check the details of Boss Wang. If Wu Dianyong is sure that it is the four major legends, then Boss Wang’s status should not be low.”
Ding Wu said: “I recently had a relationship with the bosses of several shops in Toutiao Hutong giving gifts, and inquired about some news. This boss Wang does not spend many days in Wanhuo all year round. He always runs away in Jinan, Tianjin and other places. There are industries and shops, and the business is outside of Shanhaiguan. I visit the shops in various places on weekdays. Basically, I come back every quarter and keep a set of accounts. I can’t live for ten and a half months before leaving.”
“This time Boss Wang came here probably eight days ago. Every time he comes, he must go to the lakeside restaurant at the end of Toutiao Hutong to eat the eight fresh lakes. He must order sweet and sour fish and is willing to give him money. The guys are all vying to serve him. This is what the shopkeeper told me.”
Ding Wu went out early and returned late these days, working everywhere, and taking the time to bake peach crisps to give favors, and quickly opened the situation.
Wang Daxia smiled and said: “It’s a good question to ask. Fortunately, Big Brother Ding didn’t go to the Jinyiwei warehouse. I think you are obviously the spies of Jinyiwei. We Jinyiwei need a talent like you.”
These words said that Lu Ying’s heart had gone up, and Ding Wu had indeed performed well, so he couldn’t help but look at him a few more times.
Feeling Lu Ying’s gaze, Ding Wu was indifferent on the surface, watching his nose, his nose watching his heart, indifferent, but in fact he was very excited: she was looking at me, and she was finally looking at me. Fortunately, I took a shower before going out tonight and changed clean clothes. , There is no sweat.
Lu Ying said: “Then the problem is now. According to the previous law, Boss Wang will leave in two days. His status in the White Lotus Sect should be at least one of the legends, but it will take at least five days for the tunnel to be dug into Wanhuo. , We can’t just let this big fish go, we have to find a way to hold him.”
Wang Daxia said: “Follow him all the way, if you can run away, the monk can’t run away from the temple.”
Lu Ying shook his head, “The capital is okay. Outside the capital, the sky is all over the world. It’s not easy to follow, and it’s easy to get started.”
Wang Daxia’s mind turned quickly, “Let’s set up a set, go touch porcelain, find a reason to delay him for a few days…”
Wang Daxia is best at scams and abductions, and soon thought of a way.
The next day, the boss of the firm started packing up his luggage, preparing to set off tomorrow, and in accordance with past habits, went to the lakeside restaurant for the last meal of the eight fresh lake food.
In the morning of the same day, a spice merchant dressed as a spy by Jin Yiwei made a transaction with Wanhuo Co., Ltd., and sold two carts of Western perfume to the company. The company gave two hundred taels of silver slips and checked the goods on the spot.
In the afternoon, Wu Dutou from Shuntian Palace’s Yamen brought his servants to the firm and said, “Someone is suing at Shuntian Palace’s Yamen and accusing you of using fake banknotes. They took the banknotes you gave and went to the three-way bank to exchange money. They were found out on the spot. They were driven out by the bank and reported to the yamen. They shouted injustice, saying that the banknotes were given by your tens of thousands of merchants, and that they could be confronted with you on the spot. Two hundred taels of silver is a big sum, please Your boss, let’s go!”
The author has something to say: Wang Qianhu: Large-scale training is discarded, and the number is re-trained.
