Chapter 3057 Fire

But Zhao Tongzhi was very careful and did not see anyone suspicious. He just followed Zhong Huan's instructions and sent people to keep an eye on the carriage shop and Jinling Wushi Escort Agency.

And because of what happened to the Zhen family, everyone in the city was in danger. After dark, the city is extremely quiet, making the sound of the night watch and the footsteps of soldiers patrolling more and more clear. Coupled with the sound of the howling north wind, and the earthquake that happened in Yongtai Mansion, everyone is scared to death. .

Some people were so scared that they got up in the middle of the night and burned paper money, which almost frightened the person pouring night fragrance to death!

Many people in the high-walled compound also stayed up all night, gathering together to discuss how to deal with the adult in Elm Lane.

…

Early the next morning, many families in the city could no longer live in their homes, so they all went to Elm Alley with generous gifts. They flattered Jun Tianwei who was guarding the entrance of the alley and said, "We don't dare to disturb you on your errands, so we just brought some small gifts. As a courtesy to the landlords, I hope that the military master will hand it over to your lord."

The rest of the people said one after another: "Yes, yes, we are just here to give gifts, not to ask you to do something, please be aware of it!"

Because too many people came and the gifts were too heavy, the soldiers guarding the entrance of the alley went in to report.

Not long after, Yu Qianhu came out and said to them: "My lord has said that hospitality is hard to refuse. It is not easy for him to refute your face... Keep all the gifts. If you have anything to say, you can keep it."

The wealthy people who came here to show off their familiar faces were pleasantly surprised and asked, "General, can we really leave a message for you?"

Although I don’t know the official residence of the Lord in the alley, he doesn’t even pay attention to the government office. He can also direct Jun Tianwei to run errands. It can be seen that this Lord must be a high-ranking official and someone who can often see His Majesty.

If you can leave a message to such a person, their life will not be in vain!

Yu Qianhu nodded: "Your Excellency is an official of the imperial court, how can you joke with you? Each of you take a pen and paper and write down what you want to say. I will send it to you. You will take a look at it when you are free."

Not everyone in Yongtai Mansion is an enemy, and leaving messages is a way to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

"Hey, hey, let's write, we'll write right now, thank you so much, General!" The wealthy households hurriedly thanked them, racking their brains to think of what to write. I'm afraid that a wrong choice of words will offend the noble people inside.

I don't dare to think about it for too long. They are noble people. How can I have time to wait for them to think slowly?

After more than two quarters of an hour, the big guy almost finished writing.

Yu Qianhu accepted the letter and said to them: "You have finished writing. By coincidence, I also have something to leave you."

The guys got excited and hurriedly asked: "May I ask General, what do you want me to say?"

Yu Qianhu said loudly: "Sir, there is a war in the Northeast now. This battle is of great importance to Yongtai Mansion. If the Northeast is lost, Yongtai Mansion will be the second to suffer. This is the intersection of Chi Road, and military strategists must The city that we are fighting for... So if you still have some money left at home and are willing, you can donate some materials or money... Your Excellency will compile a list and send it to the capital. After the war, you will be rewarded based on your merits and given officials and titles. possible!"

It is impossible to increase taxes, but wealthy families with surplus food at home can ask for more.

this?

Everyone is a little unhappy... We all know enough not to ask you for help, but you want our money. This is too much!

Yu Qianhu said: "You don't have to be embarrassed. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"Our Dou Family Trading Company is willing!" Manager Ruan was the first to stand up and said: "The battle in the Northeast is related to the stability of Yongtai Mansion. Our boss has already given an order. The Dou Family Trading Company will give it whatever it has!"

He looked at the big guy again and said: "Actually, you don't need to donate anything more, just some ordinary clothes and food. You don't need to donate good food, just give two cars of soybeans, and the court will also take credit for the big guy."

"Of course, it's okay if you don't want to donate. When the Qin State Highway passed through Yongtai Mansion, they specifically left a message not to force you to donate. So if you guys don't want to donate, no one will punish you. If anyone really dares to punish you, to When our Dou family business comes, we will write a letter to our employer, and our employer will directly send your grievances to His Majesty’s desk to plead your grievances!”

As soon as these words came out, the worry on the faces of the wealthy families finally disappeared, and they hurriedly said: "On New Year's Day, those Dongqing dog thieves bullied us, we must teach them a lesson. We can't go to the battlefield, but we still need a few carts of food." given!"

"There are more than a thousand households, and our Lin family will donate ten carts of grain and ten carts of cotton-padded jackets!"

"Our Zhang family donated twelve carts of grain, twelve carts of cotton-padded jackets, and ten carts of firewood!"

Soon, hundreds of carts of supplies came out.

Yu Qianhu looked at the supplies registered in the book, and then looked at General Manager Ruan. Thinking of Zhong Huan's words, he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart... General Manager Ruan actually had such appeal to the people of Yongtai Mansion, and he He is also the person in charge of the Dou family's entire northwest trade business. If he really has second thoughts, the consequences will be disastrous.

Yu Qianhu put away his thoughts, clasped his fists and said to everyone: "Thank you for your generous donation. The booklet and list will be presented to His Majesty. No matter how big or small the donation is, there will be praise in Beijing."

The rich people were very happy and knowledgeable, and left quickly. Only Manager Ruan and Li San from the Jinling Wushi Escort Bureau stayed.

They want to see the adults in the alley.

After Yu Qianhu heard this, he was embarrassed for a moment, and finally refused: "Excuse me, my lord, I am busy with the Zhen family case and have no time to see guests these two days."

Head Li San felt very unhappy and said: "Yu Qianhu, please don't misunderstand me. We are not going in to curry favor with you. It's just that when Qin Guogong left Yongtai Mansion, he specifically told us to help guard Yongtai Mansion, so we want to see you. Let’s see if we can help. Our boss has a good relationship with Qin Guogong, and we also cooperate with Qin Guogong’s brother-in-law’s family.”

But Yu Qianhu still didn't let go.

Li San was angry, and gritted his teeth and added: "You are so mysterious, if you don't see the adults inside to confirm that you are really here to do business for the court, if something happens, how can we report it to Qin?"

According to the intelligence, Li San has a bad temper and is never polite when speaking. To be able to say this is in line with his nature.

However, Yu Qianhu still rejected him: "Please come back."

Leader Li San was completely furious. He pointed at Yu Qianhu and cursed: "You bastard..."

"Master Li San, please don't be impulsive!" Manager Ruan interrupted him and smiled at Yu Qianhu: "Don't blame Yu Qianhu, he just has this temper... Your Excellency is busy, so we won't interrupt him and leave first."

He dragged Mr. Li San away.

But Yu Qianhu stopped Mr. Ruan: "General Mr. Ruan, you can follow me in to see the Lord... The Dou Family Trading Company has helped the Duke of Qin a lot, and you are familiar with the Duke of Qin. It is trustworthy and you can go in." See you."

Manager Li San was so angry that he asked a few questions at the top of his voice, but was scolded by Manager Ruan: "Master Li San, don't be too hasty. If this offends you and harms the Jinling Wushi Escort Bureau, you are the best." My boss can’t spare you!”

"Besides, you are seeing me because of the reputation of Qin Guogong and the Dou family. After all, the Dou family is relatively familiar with Qin Guogong."
