Chapter 28 Floating Clouds and Wealth (2)
As Chen Qi, even if the family is born in the first house, his seniority is the lowest among the relatives of all clans, and he loses respect in this tone. The old man in the third house was holding an air and was about to scold him, but the old man in the eighth house was taken first: "Yes, even an enemy, if he doesn't kill his father and take his wife, he will leave two room for leeway. He ignores friendship and divides them all, and his eating habits are so ugly."
Chen Qi snorted coldly: "Ten taels per acre of fertile land are priced at 5 taels. I really don't know that there is such a good thing in the world. Is this considered a purpose of seizing the family's property? That's a violation of the clan's rules!"
Sun's dowry was originally a private property of four houses and had nothing to do with other houses. Although everyone was jealous, they had no intention of getting involved. However, the Zong, three and nine houses were divided like this, which really attracted public anger.
This is not how you take advantage of the advantage. If you really want to divide Sun's dowry, why don't you put aside other houses? The Shen family has nine houses, not three houses. Can't you just rely on the sect house, three houses, and nine houses, so you can only eat alone, and other houses can't even get soup?
Kill, cough, this is too far. Besides, since the Shen family has divided the house heads and set up the house heads. Each house head is basically self-disciplined without violating national laws and regulations. This house, three houses and nine houses are involved in the four-house industry, which is a taboo.
Everyone knows that this precedent cannot be opened, otherwise, in the future, the weakest house may become fish. The clan’s robbery is more ruthless than the outsiders’ robbery. There is always a reason for the outsiders’ robbery; the clan’s robbery may have to take the banner of “justified” and even sue the government, there is no place to make a decision.
When the master of the Zongfang heard the word "花", his heart rolled in. Seeing that the atmosphere of everyone became more and more strange, he took a piece from Chen Qi and turned it over.
After looking at him, he was shocked: "How could this be?"
Shen Rui was watching from the side, and his heart became more and more strange. Is it not that Zhang Lao'an interfered in the Sun family's industry, but that the Shen family divided it up?
Even if the Chen Juren was not clear, he could hear something wrong. Thirteen industries? Sun married into the Shen family and had a dowry weaving factories, shops, houses, and fields in total, so he could get the good meaning of "perfection". Although these industries have been booming in recent years, because Sun has always done a lot of good deeds, he didn't save much money, and the subsequent industries were only three. With ten and three, it was not exactly thirteen.
He stood up, looked at the patriarch and said anxiously: "Uncle, what's going on?"
The patriarch sighed heavily and did not reply.
Juren Chen couldn't bear it and took a few steps forward and snatched the paper folds from the master of the Zongfang family. It was clearly recorded on it that all the thirteen industries under the name of Sun's family had changed hands. Except for the two weaving factories, which belonged to the He family, there were eleven left, and the Zongfang house occupied three, three and nine houses each.
Chen Juren only felt a "buzzing" sound in his head, and he was already stupid.
The Master Jiufang raised his chin and said, "The truth is that the deed is the one who is willing to sell how much money is, who can control it?"
Even if he was stubborn, this sentence was not without reason, which made the people of the tribe look even more ugly. Since this order was copied from the yamen, it must not be a fake, otherwise the Ninth House Grand Master would not be so confident. But no one is a fool. The fertile land worth ten taels of silver is worth five taels. If there is nothing wrong with it, who would believe it? Besides, the transfer of this industry is not a bad thing, so how can it be covered so strictly?
If Chen Li hadn't been worried about Shen Rui, he would have to ask about Sun's dowry after Sun was buried, and this matter would not be broken for a while.
At this moment, Juren Chen had already woken up. He held the paper fold and said to the patriarch's great master with red eyes: "Please make the decision for your nephew!"
The patriarch, the clan leader, looked at the master Chen, instead of looking at the master of the clan: "What's going on? So many industries have changed hands, and you haven't heard the news overnight?"
The master of the Zongfang family said helplessly: "If you hear the news, your son will report to you early... Although the second brother is in charge of these industries, he has not been included in the public center."
On the surface, it was the clan house that took advantage of the four houses and bought the Sun family property at a low price, but they were all under the name of the second wife of the clan house. Even if the clan house has not been separated, it is different from other people. The clan house master would rather the clan leader and grandfather presided over "justice" than to take advantage of his younger brother. Bah, the sewage that "takes people's property" is carried on the clan house.
The patriarch and the great master looked at Chen Juren: "You haven't heard any news? Could it be Sun?"
Chen Juren said with a blushing eyes: "Uncle, my nephew is the first time I heard about it. Sun has never heard of foreign affairs since she was ill. If she had changed hands, where would the money go? She would not leave a handwritten letter with two sons evenly."
How could the clan leader never imagine this place? It was just holding the last trace of hope.
Compared with the little scandal of "possessing concubines to destroy the legitimate legitimate" in the fourth house, this is now a big deal. Several house leaders are more unpleasant than taking over the dowry of their nephew's wife.
He has been the patriarch for his whole life, claiming that he is fair in his actions, but his son is pulled back when he is old. Is this cheapness so easy to take? Zongfang takes over these three industries, two cotton fields and one shop, and buys at a market price of 50%, which seems to have occupied 18,000 taels of silver. In ordinary families, 18,000 taels of silver is enough for several lifetimes, but Zongfang really does not lack this industry. If you really want to take over these three industries like this, you don’t need to ask for the reputation of Zongfang.
Thinking of this, the patriarch gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to chase the second child and come back. I want to see what this bastard is saying!"
The master of Zongfang responded and was about to go out, but was stopped by Chen Li: "Uncle Jiang Er and Uncle Lian Si of the Third House have just asked someone to invite him back, and he is about to arrive."
In a word, the people in the third and nine rooms changed their faces, and the great master of the Jiufang and Chen Lu also looked embarrassed. Both of the two rooms were named, but the Jiufang did not mention it. It was obvious that the person in charge was in the hall.
But neither family spoke first, but looked at the sect house. As long as there was a sect house in front of them, they would really take advantage of it.
The master of Zongfang stopped and turned around. After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. He looked at Chen Juren and said, "Chaoyuan, wasn't your family's property taken care of by your family? Did it be the order of Lao An?"
Chen Juren shook his head and said, "No. My mother asked about the contracts for these industries a few days ago. Because Sun left in a hurry and did not place things clearly, she was still worried, afraid that if she lost the contract, she urged me to go to the yamen to do it again. I thought that when Sun's funeral was over, she would go to the county government office. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?"
The contract book was lost?
The old man from the third house and the old man from the ninth house looked at each other, and each had his own concerns. The tribe members were able to deal with the industries of the four houses because of their face. If the tribe members did not take over, there were outsiders waiting. But they didn't hear the movement of the weaving factory, they were the two most valuable industries. Instead of being cheaper for the He family, it was really not the tribe members who took over.
The master of Zongfang still felt something was wrong and said, "Since this industry has been replaced, no one has come out to take over? What are you waiting for?"
When he mentioned this, everyone also found it strange. After all, according to the contract, all the thirteen industries under the Sun family had changed their owners. No matter how much the selling price, they had already been registered in the yamen. They could not be brought back with nothing.
The clan house was in the river, and the three houses were not there, so everyone looked at the ninth house and the grandfather of the nine house and Chen Li at the same time.
The Grand Master Jiufang couldn't tell whether he was proud or embarrassed. He glanced at Chen Lu. Chen Lu touched his nose and said, "As early as the contract was passed, Chen Yongshan made an appointment with everyone. No one would take over these industries for the time being. I will talk about it when Aunt Yuan's major business is over."
"Chen Yongshan? Does this name sound familiar?" Master Zongfang said.
Chen Li looked at Chen Juren and said, "The second concubine of the Chen family, the Zhang family's son-in-law."
Chen Juren glared and said, "It was him!? It must be him who stole the contract book."
Shen Rui was beside him, lowered his head and read out his scattered memories. Chen Yongshan was really not an outsider, but his grandson-in-law of Zhang Lao'an and the husband of Zhang's Yan's mother.
Chen Juren was full of resentment and regretted it. He had always been proud of being a member of the Shen family, but he didn't expect that he would end up today. When he thought of Zhang Lao'an's words for no reason, he really dared not believe any of the people in front of him.
Seeing that Chen Juren couldn't tell the key, Chen Qi was very anxious and said to Chen Lu: "It turns out that it's not Shen Yongshan who sells the industry, but Chen Yongshan? Not to mention how Chen Yongshan got the contract letter, a foreigner bought so many industries, Brother Lu dared to buy it, and wasn't he afraid of it being a stolen stolen? If he couldn't take the property, would he lose the money?"
Chen Lu heard this and snorted softly, "Please be careful with Brother Qi. I can't bear the reputation of seizing property. My four industries are fully prepared, and there is nothing wrong with it in the yamen."
The old man from the third house also said, "That's right. This is a legal transaction, and you can buy it with real money. Even if you go to the court, the ownership of this industry will be clear."
Juren Chen felt that his hands and feet were cold. Because it was involved in the clan room, even the clan leader and the clan room master did not dare to count on him anymore. He looked straight at Chen Li and said, "Weiyan, that is your aunt's entire property. You must preside over justice for Brother Rui!"
Chen Li looked at Chen Juren and said, "Whether it was Chen Yongshan who stole the contract or what, Uncle Yuan, these thirteen industries are not given to others, but transactions. Even if they are only half the market price, the amount of this transaction is about 100,000 taels of silver. Where did these silver go? Let's report it to the official!"
Juren Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Of course you have to report to the official! This is a fraud. Those industries belong to the Sun family, who is qualified to sell them?"
The people in the third and ninth houses looked ugly, but they didn't feel much guilty. They said that there was no requirement that the fertile land be sold for ten taels of silver, and there was no requirement that the house worth 2,000 taels cannot be sold for one thousand taels. Even if they were in the court, there was still a contract with black and white letters.
The clan leader made a conclusion in one sentence and said, "Don't report to the officials, the clan discusses this matter!"
