Chapter 831: Xu Family Discusses the Inspector

Hearing this "Mr. Dai" say so, the butler doesn't respond and says with a smile:

"There are many guests coming to the village today. The master cannot let go and cannot greet him in person. I hope Mr. Dai will not be surprised."

Mr. Dai walked out of the carriage, dusted his robe and dressed in the hem, and said with a chuckling:

"It's such a big face to have you come out to greet us, so what can you blame?"

Listening to the sound of horse hooves outside, someone greeted him loudly, and it was obvious that someone was here again, but the butler ignored the guests who came back and just accompanied Mr. Dai to walk inside.

A few dozen steps into the entrance can be found in the corridor, but the corridor is built on a large pond. It is not an exaggeration to say that the pond is a pond, but it is quite vast. Looking down from the corridor, you can see the fish swimming, and there are mandarin ducks and water birds playing in the water on another place. It is really a painting and beautiful.

This is not the first time Mr. Dai has come here, but he still walks very slowly. He looks fascinated by looking around. While walking, a few maids and maids are walking together in front of him, chatting and laughing non-stop. He is dressed in a simple and elegant manner, but his appearance and figure are all the best.

"With a distinguished guest here, what do you look like?"

The housekeeper scolded with a treacherous face, and several maids hurriedly lowered their heads and ran over. Mr. Dai squinted his eyes and watched with a smile. When the women walked away, he said leisurely:

"Women are the matchmakers, the scenery is quiet, the unconventional, the scenery is gorgeous, and the beauty is beautiful. Mr. Xu laughed at the same day, but he didn't expect Mr. Xu to do it."

"Mr. Dai laughed and there are other people serving in the house. Please give me some appreciation at that time."

Xu Jie was the assistant to the cabinet back then, and his eldest son Xu Fan was the Minister of Works, responsible for the renovation of the Forbidden City Palace and returned home. This rank remains unchanged, and his fame is still there, but others call him official positions.

Interestingly, when Xu Jie defeated Yan Song, there was Yan Shifan taking power and cheating. Yan Shifan's position was also the Minister of Works, and the Yan family and the Xu family were quite similar.

It took quite a long time to come in from the gate. This is also the Xu family's mansion is a grand rule and covers a vast area. Mr. Dai complained:

"If it weren't for the pleasant scenery of your house, you would have to break your legs along the way. Who else do you think there are other guests from all over the world?"

"When I go back to Mr. Dai, there are familiar people who come to Puyuan Temple in Huishan, Changzhou Prefecture, the Hong family in Qingpu, Yan Baihu of Chuansha Castle, Qiqianhu of Qingcun, and Zuo family in Nanqiao, Suzhou Prefecture, and Changzhou Prefecture."

When Mr. Dai heard these names, he frowned and said:

"Be careful, if you do this, it will fall into the eyes of those who are interested, isn't it true?"

"To be honest, Mr. Dai said that the imperial envoy sent from the capital, my master became more and more shocked when he inquired. This person was different from Hai Rui back then, this one."

There was a living room in front of me, and a servant had already ran in to report. According to the rules and etiquette, the owner must leave the living room to greet him. Mr. Dai shook his head and said:

"What's so scary? No wonder Mr. Xu retired and wanted to bring your master back to Songjiang. Such insights may also suffer a great loss in the court."

The housekeeper did not dare to answer this. A young man in a robe over there came out of the door and clasped his fists and said with a smile:

"I haven't seen Mr. Dai for a few years, and his style is even better than the past. The so-called gods and immortals are just like this. Please, please, please, please, please."

"If it weren't for your family, there would be no such fairy day, but Mr. Xu would be polite."

"You and my brothers are in harmony, why do you call me so formally? If you call me a minister, I will ask you to do anything."

Both sides laughed and walked into the living room hand in hand. Many people had already sat in the living room. Seeing that these people were dressed in a variety of clothes, there was a monk sitting on the right. His face was shining, and his flesh on his chin was folded twice. The robe he wore was actually woven with gold thread, which was extremely luxurious.

Looking at this, this monk was the most conspicuous one. At the end of the right, there was a big man sitting upright. The big man was wearing a long gown with gold pattern and red bottoms. However, the clothes were not the same as him. The wind blew in from the outside, and the hem of the man's long gown was blown. He actually had shorts and straw sandals inside, which was really awkward.

This man was thin, but his muscles were extremely strong and extremely strong. Except for the monk and this man, the rest were all figures dressed in military officers. Although the robe and clothes were full of beasts, their grade was not too high. They were nothing more than the hundred households guarding the fortresses and the generals in the Thousand Houses Station.

In comparison, the characters on the left are much more grand. Several of them are dressed similarly to those of Xu Fan and Mr. Dai, and they are obviously wealthy and prosperous.

Xu Fan and Mr. Dai entered the door and saw everyone looking over. Xu Fan smiled and said:

"For you, this is Mr. Dai Fengxiang, the owner of Xiangyuan, Suzhou Prefecture. Mr. Dai is also a family friend of the Xu family. This time the capital sends people here, so Mr. Dai must ask Mr. Dai to come up with an idea."

Let the person who knew him or not, and everyone stood up and said hello with a smile. Mr. Dai also nodded with a smile, but sat on the left.

Someone below asked in a low voice, "Mr. Dai is," but there are also people who know it, and someone immediately replied:

"I just collected the gold and turned down Hai Rui."

The voice was very low, but when it came to this, everyone suddenly realized that when Hai Rui was the governor of Yingtian, he came to Jiangnan to investigate and investigate. Xu Jie's mansion occupied the land and Hai Rui was watching. It is said that the Xu family used 30,000 taels of gold to bribe Dai Fengxiang to the officials and officials. Dai Fengxiang impeached Hai Rui and forced his wife and concubine to death, and asked Hai Rui to dismiss his post and let the Xu family escape.

However, Dai Fengxiang also accepted the money as soon as he got it. After receiving the huge sum of money, he did not delay the court. A year later, he resigned and returned home, and built a garden in Suzhou Prefecture to have fun.

Seeing everyone sitting down, the servants brought tea and snacks, Xu Fan waved his hand again, and the servants in the house retreated. The housekeeper went to the door and put down the bamboo curtains and stood outside waiting. Xu Fan then cleared his throat and said:

"Everyone, I believe you all know the news from the capital. My father and uncle bought this foundation in the hope of passing it over to the descendants of the Xu family, so that the Xu family will not worry about food and clothing for generations. But there are always those evil villains who are jealous of the wealth of our Xu family. They are yelling at the capital and yelling in front of the saint. At that time, Emperor Muzongzhuang had Hai Rui come here to make trouble. I thought that more than ten years have passed and nothing happened. Who would have thought that Wang Tong would come again. Oh, I really don't know what to do. Please come here, and I would also like to ask you to help you make an idea."

Hearing what he said, the people here exchanged glances with each other. What was going on with the Xu family’s business? In the Jiangnan area, no one who has a slightly more status knows it, but it’s fine if you have a clear idea of ​​this, there is no need to be serious.

After Xu Fan finished speaking, a Fu Jiannian stood up and said:

"What Mr. Xu said makes sense. Our ancestors in Jiangnan saved money to get this property. They rely on this to support the family and the family to feed the family and let their children study for the imperial examinations. But why can't these people in the north see our hard work, but they always keep watching those trivial matters. Mr. Xu, the capital is not in good intention this time. If you check your mansion, the next step is probably to focus on us."

As he spoke, this rich young man became excited and said with a flushed face saying:

"My family is spending money on the family's money when they encounter such a thing, but he doesn't see him talking. Before I came, I asked my family to send him a message. Even if his censor's official censorship doesn't do it, he will still submit a memorial to the emperor and explain the sufferings of our Jiangnan people."

"It's not easy for Shi Junwei, so don't be angry. Everyone comes here just to discuss making an idea."

Xu Fan comforted him a few words, and Shi Yuanwai sat down panting, but the person sitting next to him said in a deep thought:

"There are many ships to Tianjin Harbour in Songjiang Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture, and there are many news about Wang Tong brought back. Wang Tong has achieved this position at a young age, not relying on favor. This person is a shrewd character, different from those scholars who can only talk."

"Indeed, I originally thought that Wang Tong was just a child, or there was a master behind him, but now I look at Tianjin Weikai, set up signs on the canal, and sell alkali, not to mention these big wins, all of which were created by his own punches and kicks. Such people came here."

"Worried about this, may you have never heard of the marriage grant?"

"The marriage order has been taken back. Now that the capital has been rumored to be a good talk. Now that Hai Rui has submitted a memorial, he will send Wang Tong out of the capital immediately."

Seeing everyone arguing below, Xu Fan frowned, but Dai Fengxiang next to him slowly picked up the tea and drank it. After taking a sip, he seemed to be admiring the good tea and savored it carefully there.

As he was arguing, the fat monk spoke in a muffled voice. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was quite loud, suppressing all the voices of the people in the room:

"Dear donors, it's windy and rainy, and the river is not peaceful, and there are also people who drowned. Lao Liao knows many heroes from Jiang and Shanghai."

"Abbot Puyuan, Abbot Puyuan, be careful of your words."

A hundred-house officer next to him quickly interrupted the monk's words. Everyone looked over, and the hundred-house paused and said:

"If something really happens, you will be tangled everywhere. The Jinyiwei in Nanjing is not a match for us. Besides, these days, the weather is calm, and there will be any storms when walking on the river."

The big man who had not made a sound said in a deep voice:

"When you cross the river, or when you cross Taihu Lake, there are strong winds and waves there."

Speaking of this, the people dressed in military officers did not speak, but the fat monk asked with interest:

"Old Liao, let's make it clearer, don't be so enticing."

"Absurd, it's really ridiculous"
