Chapter 77
Wang Zhao meant that Li Zhuohang asked him to donate 50,000 taels.
He had calculated that he had handed over 20,000 yuan as military fund envoy for the imperial guards, intercepted 30,000 yuan, and gave it to the queen's nephew, Chen Xiuwen, Minister of War.
The Chen clan was always low-key. Later, Empress Chen gave birth to a legitimate son, and was highly expected by the late emperor and made him the crown prince. The late emperor intended to promote the Chen clan. As the prince's help, the Chen clan gradually became stronger and Chen Xiuwen was the most valued.
Wang Zhao also wanted to move his seat.
Although Huizhou is good, it is not as good as Huzhou. Huzhou is a rich land of silk and rich. If he can be an official in Huzhou for a few years, he will retire after his post-response, and his descendants will not have to worry about food and drink. It is impossible to rely on Wang Heng and Liang Xinming for this matter. They are hypocritical and only act on their own, and they have to rely on him to clear it.
He then got into the thread with Chen Xiuwen.
Chen Xiuwen also fell in love with Wang Zhao's family and often relied on him. The two hit it off and became closer.
Wang Zhao told Li Zhuohang: "You have suffered a lot of losses in Qinghua Mansion. After the rebellion is quelled, my official will report to the court and ask the court to provide subsidies. Don't worry, if you have my official mediation, you will definitely not suffer any loss."
He was full of thought that Li Zhuohang was determined to curry favor with him and defected to him. He made such a promise, and it was not easy to get the 50,000 donation.
Li Zhuohang said, "This is really a dilemma."
Wang Zhao said unhappily: "How to make things difficult?"
Li Zhuohang explained: "Buy silkworm cocoons in late spring, sign a bill at the brocade conference, and buy cotton in autumn. At this time, the monetary roots are the tightest and I really can't be pulled out."
Wang Zhao said: "You don't even have 50,000 in your family?"
Li Zhuo Hang Road: "There is no Huizhou semicolon."
Wang Zhao said: "Then go to the money shop to issue a ticket, and return to Huzhou and return to him."
Li Zhuohangdao: "Sir, please forgive me for not obeying my orders."
Seeing that Wang Zhao was slandering, he faced the refusal, and couldn't help but be upset and said, "Why, I have promised to supplement you later, are you still worried?"
Li Zhuohangdao: "It's a villain who refuses to pay the money. The villain often deals with the government. He knows that they are used to it: they like to bluff and exaggerate the words. The villain handed over the money, but who knew whether this battle would be fought? If they didn't fight, the money would not be returned. Even if they really sent troops, it would be unknown how much they used..."
When Wang Zhao heard this, he was moved by his heart and couldn't help but blush and pretended to be majestic and said, "As long as I have this official here, you don't have to worry."
Li Zhuohang thought to himself, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay for long.
He said, "The adults take care of the villain, and the villain is very grateful. The villain has a suggestion: It is better to let the government come forward and borrow silver from the money house. After the war is over, after the liquidation, how much should the money house be repaid and how much should the villain be compensated."
He grabbed the word "drag".
Seeing that his attitude was firm, Wang Zhao thought to himself: "This man is so ignorant. If this official wants to force him and ask him to see the money he wants, wouldn't he be shameless! It's better to follow his ideas first and wait until the matter is done, and don't be afraid that he will lose money."
After thinking about it, he said tolerantly: "I will take care of this for you, first borrow it from the bank, and then settle the accounts later. Who told us to be relatives and who will not take care of you? Go and see your aunt when you are free, she is thinking of you."
Li Zhuohang responded and withdrew.
Finally, I escaped unscathed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhao must borrow his reputation and tell other gentry his promises. Those who did not understand the inside story all thought that he promised to raise funds.
Li Zhuohang was very angry. Although he had a way to clarify, he was inconvenient to make a fuss with Wang Zhao publicly. He had to bear it and wait for the imperial court to come down.
When he got home, Li Hanyao was waiting for him to have dinner.
Li Zhuohang felt relieved immediately when he saw his daughter.
Li Hanyao couldn't help asking him why he had only come back now? Is there any trouble, because she saw her father frowning just now.
Li Zhuohang told her everything; at the end, he asked her how she would deal with Wang Zhao to avoid this disaster.
Li Hanyao quickly collapsed her face—
I feel that life is full of darkness!
She has always been full of longing and expectation for the world, but as she grew older, she realized the novelty and beauty of the world and was also exposed to its ugly side. At Yuezhuang, Li Zhuoran's big fuss was not very touched by her, because she was too young at that time and did not know that she was violated by her vital interests; she had a deep impression on her experience in Qinghua Mansion; the matter now shocked her even more.
How could there be such a shameless person in the world!
How can such a person become an official?
Li Zhuohang saw his daughter change his face and felt very guilty: Is he a father too much? When an ordinary daughter is seven or eight years old, who wouldn’t hold her in her hand and keep her sweetheart? Who would make the girl worry about these things?
However, he had to temper his daughter.
He can't stay with his daughter all his life, without any negligence. If he wants his daughter to be safe, he must teach her to survive in the mall.
Although Li Hanyao is smart, she is only eight years old. Last time she was so anxious that she made the same judgment as Li Zhuohang, so it was not that easy this time. When Li Zhuohang went to the shop, she racked her brains to find an idea to deal with Wang Zhao.
These days, Luo Wuchen always thinks of Sister Li. He thinks he is impressed by Li Hanyao's chess skills and hopes to play chess with her again.
But he couldn't just go to Li Hanyao.
After thinking about it, I found an excuse.
That day, he searched for some snacks from the street and took them to Taiping Store. He asked to see Li Zhuohang first. When he met Li Zhuohang, he said respectfully that he had obtained a broken chess record and wanted to discuss with Li Sister.
When Li Zhuohang came, he couldn't tell what he was thinking: he just wanted to see Li Hanyao. Otherwise, there would be no one who could study chess? Why didn't you wait to find his father to discuss it at night? The young man was very young, and even he himself didn't notice this feeling, so he came to the door openly by playing chess.
Li Zhuohang began to feel sad again-
My daughter was coveted by the boy!
Before, he was afraid that he would not find a suitable son-in-law, but now, he disliked the boy's covet his daughter. Yao'er was so outstanding, and in the future, I don't know how many young men liked her. What should he do? Li Zhuohang was very upset.
He still let Luo Wuchen enter.
Then, he ordered someone to call Wang's mother and told her: When Li Hanyao played chess with Mr. Luo, she must bring someone to stay by her side.
Mother Wang hurriedly agreed.
Luo Wuchen successfully met Li Hanyao and told him the reason for coming.
Li Hanyao was aroused by him and ordered to watch the round table, chairs, and chess tools to move them to the corridor. They faced the courtyard and prepared some fruits and tea. The two of them sat opposite each other.
Mother Wang leaned against the railing to do needlework.
Guanqi moved a little piece directly, sat next to Li Hanyao, staring at the chessboard with her eyes, interpreting her name with her actions: Guanqi!
The autumn sun at noon fell outside the eaves of the corridor. Luo Wuchen noticed that Li Hanyao on the opposite side seemed a little absent-minded. She pinched the chess piece, pouted and frowned, not knowing what she was thinking. Sometimes she was distracted and had to call two or three times to wake her up.
He asked, "What do you think of sister?"
Li Hanyao raised her eyes and said, "I didn't think of anything."
Luo Wuchen said, "No, I see my sister's unhappy look. Did Brother Yu suddenly disturb her?"
He thought that Li Hanyao always spoke frankly, and did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
Li Hanyao said, "Oh, it's not about Brother Wuchen's business! Brother Wuchen, why are you so loving? I'm annoyed, but not for you." As he said that, he gave him a blank look, looking coquettish, and he looked very disgusted with him.
Luo Wuchen smiled and said, "What annoyed to my sister? Tell me. Although my brother is not as smart as my sister, how old is the foolish person? I am still a little anxious."
When Li Hanyao heard this, wasn’t it?
She thought about it and changed Wang Zhao's blackmail behavior and asked: "If my brother asks me to borrow money, I don't want to borrow it, how should I return it?"
