Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Chapter 596 Close the net and sue the Kang family

The little buns came back, and the house became even more lively. Ling Jingxuan was distressed, and cooked every day by himself, changing the recipes for them. He didn't bother to cook delicious food for them before. Mainly, the time has come to mid-July in a blink of an eye, Ling Jingxuan has been planning for more than two months, and it is finally time to close the net.

On this day, the big drum in front of the chief secretary's yamen was sounded again. A tall and tall man led two men in charge into the yamen under the leadership of the soldiers. All the people nearby ran to watch. The sound of the sound is the Jiang family's disaster, whose turn will it be this time?The common people are all curious, although they don't admit it, they have changed a lot in their hearts towards the government. Some people who have been bullied all the year round are also ready to move, but they still lack a bit of courage.

"Who is in the hall? Why are you beating the drums?"

After the routine opening of the hall, Yan Xiaobei, who was dressed in a second-rank official robe of the imperial court, came out with two assistants. The three men standing in the hall clasped their hands together, and the leading man said: "This is Zhang Yi from Changzhou. In the name of my master, I came to Nanzhou to buy all kinds of mountain products. Some time ago, I heard that most of the mountain products in Nanzhou are supplied by Southern Xinjiang, and the largest merchant in Southern Xinjiang is Kangjia. Because we need a large amount, I will send I went directly to the Kang family to negotiate a deal, and the Kang family was very forthright, sending the elder Kang Buyuan to Nanzhou to negotiate with me. After some bargaining, we signed a contract of tens of millions of silver. To show my sincerity, I also paid 80 yuan in advance. A deposit of 80 taels, the contract clearly states that the Kang family will deliver the goods before July [-]th, and I will pay the rest after the goods are delivered, but I am waiting in Nanzhou until July [-]th No one from the Kang family came to contact me. A few days ago, I reported to the Nanzhou Yamen, and the magistrate of Nanzhou asked the young one to come to Nanjiang to find the chief secretary. He, the Kang family, took my deposit and agreed to seven Shipment on the [-]th of the month, it’s fine if it’s not delivered on time, but there’s no notification at all, my lord, this is a transaction involving tens of millions of taels of silver, not a thousand taels of silver, please be the master, we don’t want the goods, let The Kang family returned our advance payment of [-] taels of deposit and fulfilled the content of the contract, but failed to deliver the goods on time, and compensated us ten times the amount of the goods."

The man knelt down as he spoke, and the two stewards behind him quickly knelt down when they saw this. He was none other than Zhang Qing who had changed his face a little, because he was urgently summoned by Ling Jingxuan in the Southern Kingdom , Those two stewards were specially assigned to him by Jun Yuanhang. They are fluent in the language of southern Xinjiang and are very familiar with southern Xinjiang. It is thanks to them that Kang Bu would trust Zhang Qing so easily.

Ten times ten million taels of silver, isn't that hundreds of millions of taels?The Kang family is doomed this time!

All the people outside the hall couldn't help but gasp, darling, hundreds of millions of taels of silver, how much would that cost? No matter how rich the Kang family is, if they lose it, they might go bankrupt, right?Now it depends on how their Chief Secretary will deal with it. If he shields the Kang family or is bought by the Kang family, maybe the Kang family can escape. After all, the plaintiff is a foreigner, and the government does not act, isn't it? Let the Dekang family play tricks?On the contrary, if the Chief Secretary was as defiant and ruthless as he was with the Jiang family last time, the Kang family would be doomed.

"bump!"

The gavel suddenly slapped, and there was no sound in the hall, and Yan Xiaobei's face was like water: "Zhang Yi, I want to ask you, is there evidence for what you said?"

The scene that should be done is still complete, even if he really wants his cousin to get up, don't kneel down for him.

"Yes, the grassroots brought a copy of the contract, please take a look at it, Lord Chief Secretary."

As he spoke, Zhang Qing took out a contract from his arms and held it high. Yan Xiaobei gave a look, and one of his assistants stepped forward to take the copy of the contract and handed it to him. Yan Xiaobei looked at it pretendingly, his face suddenly darkened. , raised his voice and said angrily: "Come here, go to Kang's house and bring Mr. Kang and Kang Buyuan to this official. Honesty is the most important thing in business. He has no integrity at all. This official will not spare him."

"Yes!" The two soldiers clasped their fists and took the order. After going out, they each led a group of troops and went straight to the Kang family's mansion. Recently, the Kang family members were all in E'nan City, which happened to be convenient for them to arrest people. .

"Thank you sir."

Zhang Qing kowtowed to him at the right time, Yan Xiaobei's facial muscles twitched, and he pretended to be calm and said: "You are welcome, I am the official of Nanjiang's parents, and it is right for the people to make decisions for the people. Come here, give it to Mr. Zhang and the two of you." The steward is watching the seats, and the Kang family will come in a while, so the plaintiff cannot be wronged and kneels all this time."

Finally found a reason that was not a reason, Yan Xiaobei exhaled quietly, and asked his cousin to kneel down for him, he was really afraid that his life would be shortened.

"Thank you sir."

Zhang Qing, who has become more mature and stable now, could see Yan Xiaobei's nervousness at a glance, and he didn't reject his kindness, but couldn't help laughing secretly, this kid is becoming more and more sensible and filial.

The Kang family's mansion in E'nan City.

Recently, the Kang family can be said to be in a state of desperation. The people who sent out to buy mountain products collected some of them, but the quality was not high. With a portion of the income from the mushrooms, I will keep selling any good things to them. Sometimes I can’t get rid of the affection, so I just sell them some ordinary things. No matter how tyrannical the Kang family is in southern Xinjiang, the goods are in their hands. They can't rob them clearly, and they are not the Jiang family. They can't afford to provoke those tribes in the mountains. In this way, after more than half a month, they can only barely deal with some old customers, the largest new customers and some far away customers. Regular customers don't care at all, and the Kang family can be said to be gloomy every day.

"Not good, not good??"

"What's the noise? Are there any rules?"

They were almost bored to death, and the servants were still reckless, Kang Huaiyang turned around and roared, the coquettish folding fan was gone, his handsome face was covered with stubble, if it wasn't for the expensive clothes on his body, he said No one would believe that he was a savage who jumped out of a mountain den.

"Little Lord……"

The servant who came to report shrank back in fright, and then hurriedly said: "No, young master, grand lord, it's not good, a man named Zhang Yi went to the yamen to sue the Kang family."

"What?! Who are you talking about? Say it again."

Kang Buyuan, who was originally indifferent, stood up with his eyes wide open. The poor servant was trembling with fright, but he still said with a trembling voice: "Zhang, Zhang Yi."

"damn it!"

"bump!"

After being confirmed again, Kang Buyuan slammed his fist on the coffee table next to him. All the Kang family members looked at him strangely. Kang Huaiyang's eyes flashed, and he asked tentatively: "Father, that Zhang Yi will not be the one this time." You signed a new buyer, right?"

In fact, they have been worried about this matter, but there is no stock in hand, and it is useless to worry about it. After July [-]th, they are worried every day, for fear that someone will come to their door. After a few days, they thought they could delay it. When Kang Huaiyang asked, everyone in the Kang family couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, and their breathing stopped quietly unconsciously.

"it's him."

Although he didn't want to answer, Kang Buyuan still panted and said that the old man was still lying on the bed, and now they are suing them again, and they are going to the chief secretary's yamen, not to mention the delay for a few days, it is estimated that Sheng The prince and his wife had to help Zhang Yi cut a layer of their skin, hundreds of millions of taels of silver, it’s not that the Kang family didn’t have it, but they didn’t just compensate him, they had compensated those old customers earlier, in order to keep them, now? ?

"Why is this person like this? He went straight to the government without even saying hello. Brother, we can't go to the chief secretary's office."

"That's right, brother, the Chief Secretary Yamen will definitely not help us, and it's useless to go there."

"Father, why don't we call him sick? Let's hang out for now? Since that Zhang Yi has come to Southern Xinjiang, let's look for him after he comes out of the yamen?"

"What should we do? If hundreds of millions of taels of silver are really lost, our Kang family will only be left with an empty shell. How can we make a comeback?"

"Yeah yeah"

Everyone couldn't help but chattered, and some even blamed others, and didn't think about what they had done. If they were sincere, they should have sent someone to contact them. Are these two nice sentences?It is estimated that the Kang family is used to being superior, and they don’t even know how to make an apology. Let alone Ling Jingxuan designed it today. For the sale of tens of millions of taels of silver, if your Kang family doesn’t send out the goods, if you don’t talk about it, what are you waiting for if you don’t sue?

"Stop arguing. If you don't want to pay, you won't pay? If you say you can discuss it, you can discuss it? Now we owe others the goods, and we have lost the initiative long ago."

Kang Buyuan roared furiously, what else could they do but complain?Doesn't he know that the chief secretary's office is not allowed?I don't know how much money the Kang family has left?I don't know if they lose money, they will be completely emptied?Damn it, it's because he knows everything that he's so irritable now. The Kang family can't collapse, and now there's no telling how many people are waiting to see their good show and their collapse. Once they collapse, the locals in southern Xinjiang The gentry and wealthy households can also devour them, not to mention the Jiang family, the Yao family and the Tuoba family who have always been eyeing their resources, as well as the Prince Sheng and his wife who have always wanted to crush them. For a hundred years, he has always been one of the overlords on the ground in southern Xinjiang, and he must not collapse because of a single business, never!

After all, he is the next Patriarch, let him roar, even if he is still angry in his heart, everyone dare not say anything, including Kang Huaiyang, in fact, when this kind of thing happens, the most anxious thing is not the next Patriarch?Their eagerness is nothing at all, but? ?

"My lord is not well, the people from the government are here."

After a wave of unrest, another servant ran in in a panic, followed by a large number of soldiers. With the lesson of the Jiang family last time, the servants of the Kang family dared not stop them at all. , the soldiers were still in the land of no one, and walked in mighty and extraordinary, the face of the Kang family suddenly changed, it was really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, in the past, how dare those soldiers stationed in southern Xinjiang break in casually Come?Even if the chief secretary came, he had to see if they were in a good mood before deciding whether to see them, but now? ?In just a few months, the Kang family has been underestimated to such an extent?

"Master Kang, someone has sued you for refusing to fulfill the business contract, and you are suspected of defrauding money. Please, Mr. Kang and Mr. Kang, come with us. The Chief Secretary is still waiting in the hall."

Before they could explode, the leader of the soldiers announced in a loud voice, Grandma, after being oppressed by the four big families for so many years, it is finally their turn to feel proud.

"What are you? How dare you show off in the Kang family, who gave you the courage?"

The face of the Kang family changed drastically, and Kang Huaiyang jumped out without even thinking about it. The soldier commander curled his lips mockingly: "I don't need to tell you, Young Master Kang, if I am something, but your Kang family is really nothing, such a big one. Business, if you say you break the contract, you will break the contract, it is really awesome, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go with us, if the Chief Secretary gets impatient, it will be your Kang family who are unlucky."

The Kang family is no longer the Kang family they used to be, and they are not what they used to be. Under the leadership of the Great General Wang, who would dare to insult and kill them wantonly?

"you."

"I'll go with you, but it's really inconvenient for my father to be in bed for a long time, can you let him go?"

Stopping Kang Huaiyang who wanted to say something, Kang Buyuan gritted his teeth and said, living for dozens of years is the most aggrieved today.

"I'm sorry, we are also following orders, so please don't embarrass us, Mr. Kang. If it's inconvenient for the old man, we don't mind taking him to the yamen."

They are soldiers, not yamen servants. The most important task of soldiers is to perfectly execute the orders from above. Don't say that Mr. Kang is sick today, even if he is dead, they will carry the body to the hall. Don't blame them for being unreasonable. At the beginning, they were a little more humane to people, and they would not be so forceful. Cause and effect, cause and effect, they have caused the cause, and they have the result they are enduring today.

"You dare?!"

The unbearable Kang Buyuan stared wide-eyed, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists, his appearance was indescribably scary, right? ?

"We are performing official duties. Since Mr. Kang won't cooperate, brothers, let's go in and arrest people ourselves."

"Yes!"

These soldiers have already screamed under Yan Yi's training, how could they be afraid of his anger?The soldier commander gave an order, and the accompanying soldiers began to move.

"stop!"

An old voice suddenly sounded, and with the help of his servants, Mr. Kang came out with a walking stick. He had been ill for more than [-] days. Except for his complexion, Mr. Kang seemed to be no different, as if he was growing flesh Yes, all the soldiers ridiculed, they are willing to suffer from this kind of disease.

"father!"

After a brief moment of stupefaction, Kang Buyuan stepped forward, and Mr. Kang gave him a look, and looked at the soldiers distractedly: "Let's go, don't make your Chief Secretary wait too long, and give the old man another disrespectful look later." The crime of appointing an official by the imperial court."

There was naked sarcasm mixed in and out of the words, which shows that Mr. Kang is not angry, but suppressing his anger. Anyway, even if they don't want to, they still have to go for a walk after all, and talk to a few rough soldiers. Undoubtedly lowered his status.

"Please!"

When the people arrived, the soldier commander didn't say anything more, and made a gesture of please. After Mr. Kang and his son and his son walked out, the soldiers also surrounded them and left. The Kang family, which was noisy for a while, finally recovered temporarily. Quiet.
