A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 324 Zeng Gongliang Admits His Mistake

Zeng Gongliang felt that Shen An was trying to gain power.

But this is my home, don’t you think this method is too much?

"Shen waits for an edict..."

This is an official title, which shows that Zeng Gongliang does not want to pay attention to him.

"A certain Zeng Ping."

Zeng Ping Zhiji's crossed hands saluted and promised.

If you obey the rules now, you will be able to deal with others later.

Only when you retract your fist can you hit someone.

Shen An looked at him sideways and said calmly: "You said that batch of goods was robbed?"

This person also asked this, what does it mean?

Zeng Ping said: "Yes, at the foot of Funiu Mountain in Yingchang Mansion."

"That's right."

Shen An looked at Zeng Gongliang and asked, "Mr. Zeng, are you willing to give up your love?"

Leave Zeng Ping to me!

What he said was a bit unkind, and it was very different from Shen An's previous humble attitude.

This is about to fall out!

Zeng Gongliang said slightly angrily: "What do you want to do? I am here today, you come and take a look."

You actually want to get Zeng Ping away. You want to slap me, Zeng Gongliang, in the face!

Zeng Gongliang's eyes were cold and he said: "Here comes someone."

"Alang."

A servant came forward to listen to the order.

"see a visitor out!"

Zeng Gongliang's anger was uncontrollable, and he could do anything to drive people away.

Shen An glanced at him, his eyes were wrong.

How does it look like mercy?

Just when Zeng Gongliang felt strange, Shen An had already walked up to Zeng Ping and said with a smile: "Do you know the situation at Yingchang Mansion?"

Zeng Ping smiled and said: "I have never been there, but after being robbed this time, I know a little bit about it."

He smiled calmly, with compassion in his eyes.

You actually dare to stand up for Zhao Zhongzhen. Are you bullying Zeng Gongliang for being a good man?

But where are there any truly good people in this world?

That kind of good old guy probably doesn't have much ability, so he is afraid of offending others, so he seems to be in harmony.

But if Zeng Gongliang could be the prime minister, how could he be incompetent?

You are... standing in the wrong place!

He smiled slightly and looked at Yun Danfengqing. Even Zeng Gongliang secretly admired her when he saw her, thinking that this relative could shoulder more burdens, such as being the housekeeper in the future.

Shen An was also smiling, and suddenly asked: "Then do you know about that village?"

Zeng Ping said in astonishment: "How could a serious person know about those thieves?"

Shen An's smile grew wider, "Then do you know why the local people didn't attack that village?"

Zeng Ping sighed in his heart and said: "That is a local matter. Alang said that you are not allowed to use his name to do things."

Shen An glanced at Zeng Gongliang and said, "Ms. Zeng is naturally a role model among people, and Shen admires him very much."

Zeng Gongliang didn't smile, he just read lightly.

"You don't know that's because you didn't go. You have to be down-to-earth in doing things, and at least you have to be verified before you can do it. Look how stupid you are, you don't even know that the village is made up of runaways?"

puff!

The book in Zeng Gongliang's hand fell to the ground and he looked up at Shen An.

Zeng Ping's expression remained normal and he said, "That person doesn't know."

Shen An smiled, then reached out and patted his face, very contemptuously and arrogantly.

This was humiliating. Zeng Ping couldn't help but look at Zeng Gongliang aggrievedly, wanting to ask him to make the decision.

But Zeng Gongliang looked solemn and asked: "What's going on?"

Shen An turned around and looked at him and said coldly: "I also want to ask Mr. Zeng what is going on!"

Zeng Gongliang looked at him steadily, with anger in his eyes.

"Fugitive?"

"That's right."

Shen An smiled slightly and said: "There are less than a hundred men and women, all dressed in rags... Mr. Zeng, these are the robbers Zeng Ping calls... May I ask if there is anyone to protect the convoy?"

Zeng Gongliang looked at Zeng Ping.

Zeng Ping smiled and said, "Yes, but they were all washed away."

"Whose person?"

Shen An's questions were aggressive, and like waves, they came one after another.

Zeng Ping forced a smile and said: "Yes...yes..."

He was speechless, and Shen An said coldly: "Is he one of yours?"

Zeng Gongliang compiled the clues before and after and shouted: "Whose people are they? Where are those people?"

Zeng Ping gradually calmed down and said, "Alang, those people were dispersed and have not returned yet."

Zeng Gongliang's mind went through all kinds of thoughts, and finally his eyes dimmed and he said, "Let's just wait for them to come back."

No one can testify that you are talking nonsense!

"good."

Shen An smiled and said, "But do you think Shen is a fool?"

Zeng Gongliang's face changed slightly, and when he was about to speak, Shen An said: "The so-called robbery of those who escaped from their households is just a rumor. They use this to intimidate outsiders and want to turn that place into a paradise. But you made a mistake there. Jie Dao...are you stupid?"

Shen An said with a smile: "You know? Those fleeing households have now gone down the mountain. There is nothing on the mountain, not to mention property, not even an extra piece of clothing... The local apology memorial will arrive later. Where are the property? ? You have more than five thousand guans here, and Wang Zheng has more than 3,000 guans over there. Where are those belongings? Where have they gone? "

Sweat gradually appeared on Zeng Ping's face, and then it condensed into sweat beads and dripped down.

He suddenly hissed: "This is a lie! This is a lie!"

Shen An pointed to the man behind him and said: "This is Huang Chun, the leader of the Mangshan Army. This time I sent him to Yingchang Mansion to raid the village, and the result was ridiculous..."

Huang Chun took a step forward with a serious look on his face, "Those people's weapons are wooden sticks, and there are not many strong men. Five people can defeat them. And they were a while ago..."

He suddenly raised his eyebrows at Zeng Gongliang, his straight eyebrows twitching, looking particularly outrageous.

This is Zaifu!

This guy actually teased her directly, which shows how courageous he is.

"Some people in the village went down the mountain to buy private salt a while ago. They saw a group of people fighting on the mountain road. Each person was carrying a stick and beating on the ground. Some people tore their own clothes for unknown reasons, and some even killed a few chickens. A duck and a sheep left blood all over the floor..."

He smiled at Zeng Gongliang and said: "Ms. Zeng, those people beat their chests for a long time and filled the official road with dust. Then they drove the car off the road and disappeared without a trace...Ms. Zeng, those people who fled their households at that time I was also afraid that they would attack the village, so I didn’t even bother to buy salt for myself, so when I got back, I took the people from the village into the mountains and hid there for half a month. I didn’t dare to come back until there was no movement outside.”

Fugitives are people who evade taxes. Such people are not uncommon.

Most rebels just don't want to pay taxes and serve, and they don't have any lofty ideals.

The problems in the Song Dynasty are very complicated. People above the temple are all confused. How can the people below be so tall?

And private salt is something that has been repeatedly banned.

As long as there is profit, those private salt dealers dare to run around and take risks to make money.

There are dozens of men, women, and children, which is only twenty or thirty households at most, and they are still old, weak, sick, and disabled...

Such a 'thief' could actually rob a convoy worth almost tens of thousands of dollars. What about the guards of the convoy?

Zeng Gongliang's face turned blue, he slowly bent down to pick up the book on the ground, and then threw the book over with his hands.

puff!

The book hit Zeng Ping in the face. He blinked and suddenly knelt down and said, "Alang, they are slandering. The convoy was indeed robbed. They must be colluding with the officials of Yingchang Mansion. Alang, they are I want to covet your position as prime minister!"

In the deathly silence, Shen An smiled and said: "Yes, the hypothesis is very bold, you are talented."

He slightly cupped his hands to Zeng Gongliang and said, "Brother Chun, let's go back!"

Huang Chun turned his eyes and saw several strong men coming around. He knew that they were the people assigned by the government to the prime minister.

He whistled frivolously and said, "Do you want to get close and personal? How about going to a men's style shop?"

This thing was too cramped, but Shen An didn't care and just strode out.

Zeng Gongliang's expression changed, and he suddenly shouted: "Stay in Anbei!"

Shen An did not stop.

This is gesture.

Zeng Gongliang, don’t forget what happened last time.

Last time you issued an eviction order, I'm sorry for you today!

Zeng Gongliang sighed, waved his hands, and after those who heard the sound dispersed, he quickly chased after them.

He had to chase.

Once Shen An takes advantage of the situation, Zeng Gongliang will be disgraced as long as he waits for the memorial from Yingchang Mansion to come to Beijing, and he will also be criticized for his business problems.

Why do people live?

Mostly just to live for others to see.

Show your life to outsiders and feel proud.

Show it to your family, be proud of it.

So reputation is the most important facade.

For the sake of reputation, Zeng Gongliang was able to run around the house, completely lacking the magnanimity of a prime minister.

But Shen An's pace became faster and faster.

He was young and practiced constantly every day, so Zeng Gongliang had no choice but to speed up his pace and catch up while panting.

"Anbei, wait...wait a minute, old man."

When he felt that he could no longer run, Shen An in front stopped, then turned around and said in shock: "Mr. Zeng, why is this? If you have anything to say, please speak! Why are you so anxious?"

This guy is a vengeful person!

I was kicked out just now, and now I'm back with revenge.

Zeng Gongliang looked around, and several servants were looking at him in shock.

Did Zeng Gongliang, who was usually as steady as a mountain, lose his composure like this?

Zeng Gongliang's heart moved, and he wanted to keep a straight face to save some face, but when he looked up, he saw that Shen An was smiling but not smiling, and knew that this guy was waiting for him to express his stance.

He made a judgment in an instant, then cupped his hands and said: "It was my mistake before. Anbei, please come in and have tea."

Shen An shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you'll be very busy later, so just tell me if you have anything."

Zeng Gongliang lamented in his heart and could only say: "This matter is my fault, I will recover the goods, and 30% of Zeng Ping's goods will be used as an apology to the Wang family..."

At this time, Zeng Gongliang still insisted that the business was done privately by Zeng Ping, which shows his caution.

Shen An nodded disapprovingly, and then said: "The matter of disposal..."

This is an opportunity to make friends with the Wang family and sell favors.

Zeng Gongliang said without hesitation: "You handle this matter, UU Reading www.uuknshu.net Zeng Ping's side..."

His eyes became stern and he said, "Zeng Ping is probably going to be sick."

What a cruel old man!

Shen An nodded, and then said: "This matter... Zhao Zhongzhen will do the talking. Does Mr. Zeng have any opinions?"

Zeng Gongliang's body was shaken, and then he was a little confused.

Zhao Zhongzhen...

If he can enter the palace, he will be the future emperor.

As expected, Shen An stepped forward for Zhao Zhongzhen.

He nodded slowly, feeling a few years older in an instant.

Shen An is struggling for the future, but what about me?

Gogou in Feiying...
