Chapter 240 Lose money and donate
Half an hour later, Kochinian returned home with a dark face.
I happened to see my third son who was doing nothing all day and was teasing a group of colorful cats in the yard. I was so angry that I fucked a wooden stick as thick as an egg and went up to it and slapped it.
Gao Yanei squatted on the ground with his head in confusion, crying, "Dad, why did you suddenly hit me? What did the child do wrong?"
"You still dare to be stubborn. You don't know whether you have done a bastard. Let's see if I won't break your legs today!" Gao Zhinian was so angry that he trembled all over. He then broke Gao Yanei's scalp and blood flowed down his white skin.
"Wow, I'm going to die, I'm going to be beaten to death!" Gao Chang felt a heat flow rolling to his mouth, licking the salty one, then touched his hands and saw blood all over his hands, and he immediately lay on the ground and rolled and wailed.
"Get up, you evil son, don't lie down and pretend to be dead. If you don't kill your bastard, I will take your surname to death!" Gao Zhinian was already confused, and continued to greet his son with a wooden stick, waving like thunder.
Kochinian's manic disorder frightened the maids in the yard and made a mess. Someone went straight to the backyard to ask for reinforcements. Soon a beautiful middle-aged woman with a wealthy appearance hurried out from the back hall with a few maids. After seeing this, her face changed drastically and rushed up to block her son.
"Husband, what are you doing? Why do you beat Chang'er so hard?"
"Go away from it and let me beat this bastard to death!" Gao Zhinian shouted with a pale face holding the wooden stick.
"Husband, even if Chang'er is wrong, you shouldn't beat him like this. It would be fine if he beat him a few times and let him admit his mistake. Look at this bloody..."
The woman protected Gao Chang under her body like a chicken, and watched in horror as blood flowed out of her son's forehead. She couldn't even press it with her hands. Before she could finish a word, her body fell down as soon as she softened.
"Madam...Madam..." Several close maids rushed up in horror and swayed and shouted.
"Not good, my wife fainted!" A maid screamed in fear.
Gao Zhinian was stunned for a moment and quickly threw down the wooden stick. He stepped forward and helped his wife up and shook her for a few times. He found that his wife had indeed closed her eyes and had a weak breath. He immediately shouted with a pale face: "Carry the lady into the room, go and invite the doctor!"
In an instant, the entire Gao Mansion was in chaos. The servants, maids, and grooms all rushed back and forth, carrying people and going out, screaming and shouting loudly outside the street. They could only hear the people passing by, and they looked at each other and secretly rejoiced. I wonder if the Gao Mansion, which usually sings and dances, was now possessed by evil spirits.
After nearly half an hour of busyness, the movements in Gao's mansion gradually calmed down.
Gao Zhinian sat in the main hall with a blue face. His son Gao Chang was kneeling under the hall with a thick bandage on his head as if he was carrying a big rice dumpling. Gao Chang's wives and concubines were also kneeling at the gate and crying and crying. A group of servants who followed him to smash boxes and grab money were all kneeling outside the door with a bruised face. Several of them were still bleeding. The remaining dozens of servants and maids were all frightened and stood far away in the yard and did not dare to leave.
"Tell me, how much did I snatch it?" Gao Zhinian swept the tea bowl on the coffee table to the ground and smashed it.
"Dad calmed down. I really don't know how many kids robbed, but they were all spent by Aaron and the others. I think... I think there are three or five hundred stags..." Gao Chang knelt on the ground with a pale face and was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up.
"Is it a three-white sacrificial or a five-hundred sacrificial?" Gao Zhinian roared.
"Dad, I really haven't counted it, I don't know!" Gao Chang held back his crying and whimpered.
It hurts so much. My dad has always regarded him as a treasure and has never hit him much. He never expected that he would just smash a few broken boxes today and was almost beaten to death by his dad. Looking back at the dad's head just now, his head was thunderous like lightning and thunder. In an instant, his mind was completely blank and almost went down.
"Third brother, I asked Aaron and the others just now, and the donation was only half an hour, and the donations were just some porters and some vendors carrying loads. The donations were only a few dozen cents, and there was not much difference between 300 and 500 cents, so I would pay them a compensation!" A middle-aged scholar with a look similar to that of Gao Zhinian sat next to persuade him.
"Fuck, is this money? The magistrate invited me to the house just now because of this beast. Xiaolongwan has been rumored everywhere recently. Everyone knows that Wu Qian and Xiaolongwan people have close contact. His fundraising is to raise military pay for Wu Qian and rob military pay. That is a death penalty. You dare to rob military pay. Could it be that you don't know how to write the word "death"? Do you want to take our entire Gao family to be a burial!" Gao Zhinian stood up and roared.
"Dad, Zhao Qi put a few wooden boxes and asked someone to donate money. Who knows if he donated as military pay? The child looked like a scam, so he went up to smash the wooden boxes so that the people would not be fooled..." Gao Chang shrank his neck and yelled in a low voice.
"Haha..." Gao Zhinian was so angry that he shivered, "You bastard and have this kind of mind. Why didn't I notice before? You are neither a police officer nor an official. As far as I know, there are five soldiers arranged by Tong Daxiong to maintain public order. Could it be that you are so smart that you are blind? Do you think I don't know that Lu Guangping is with you today, saying, "Is it because Lu Guangping instigated you, or do you want to help yourself?"
As a censor, he has been catching other people's braids all year round. Gao Zhinian can see the reason for his son's actions today at a glance.
When my father was so direct, Gao Chang trembled and lay on the ground and said stammeringly: "Dad, I... I just don't like Zhao Qi. The Lu family has offered us a lot of money all year round. Last time, Zhao Qi actually killed Lu Guangping in the prison cell for half a month. I... I just want to breathe for him!"
"Ba~" Gao Zhinian stepped forward and slapped his son in the face. He only hit Gao Chang, and almost fell to the ground with dizziness. He covered his face and shouted in horror: "Dad, why did you hit me again?"
"Damn it, are you covered in cat shit in your head? The Lu family's own business, why do you have to stand up? Who are you? Are you the prefect of Qingyuan Prefecture or the county magistrate of Yin County? The Lu family worships us money, but they just want to go through more official exchanges and get more benefits. I have given all the things I should give, and everyone takes what they need. The Lu family admits what happened last time. Lu Yuntai personally apologized and tear up the engagement, asking you to meddle in other people's business..." Gao Zhinian roared gritting his teeth.
"Stop the anger of the third brother. Things have happened now. Beating Chang'er will be useless. It will be difficult to see how to deal with it!" The middle-aged scholar sitting next to him quickly stood up to persuade him.
"Get out, get out~" Kochi Nian sat down in anger.
Gao Chang quickly got up and ran out with his head in his arms. The group of servants and servants all dispersed like birds and beasts. In the blink of an eye, only two brothers were left in the hall.
"Third brother, I don't know what Zhao Kui of the Concubine said just now, why did he make you so angry?" The middle-aged scholar asked after Gao Zhinian's breath was reduced a little.
"Hmph, what else can I say? Of course, I will let myself consider it and solve this problem!" Gao Zhinian snorted coldly and said with a twitch.
"Zhao Kui doesn't go out on weekdays, and she doesn't care about messy things after she comes for a month except for official business. Why did she suddenly make a big fuss today? Besides, this is not a big deal. It would be fine to arrange for the county government to come forward to communicate with the third brother, at most it would be fine to lose money. This is too much." The middle-aged essay said angrily.
"The timing..." Gao Zhinian sighed depressedly, "It is currently fighting with Mongolia, and the food and military pay on the front line is already tight. Qingyuan Prefecture is already the most prosperous and prosperous place in my Song Dynasty. But more than a month has passed, and the summer grain collected by the imperial court has not been collected yet, and the commercial tax collection has encountered many obstacles. I just don't know how many merchants come to ask me every day. The court is short of money and food. Otherwise, Wu Qian had just left, why should the court send a higher-ranking Zhao Kui to be the prefect of Qingyuan? The purpose is to be money and grain. You have also seen the leaflets distributed on the street. The people of Xiaolongwan Harbor donated money to the front line with great fanfare. This is a reason. This beast didn't care about the momentum at all, but wanted to stand up for the Lu family. How should you finish this matter?"
"It's only a few hundred chunks of money, just pay them aside, and the third brother doesn't have to worry too much!" replied the middle-aged scholar.
"It's too simple. If Zhao Kui wants to make a fuss about this matter, I, the magistrate, will probably end up being the end. Now that this beast makes such a fuss, the people of Yin County will inevitably be talking about it. The public grievances will inevitably cause trouble. This year, the court imposed 20% of the commercial tax, and the gentry and businessmen were dissatisfied. Zhao Kui warned me that if the people mutiny this time the grain tax was caused by this incident, he would write to the court for me!"
"If you want to add a crime, you have no choice but to worry about it. Zhao Kui... is too shameless!" said the middle-aged essay with anger on his face.
"So what about shamelessness? The battles in the officialdom have always been like this. Once something happens, you have to find someone to take the blame. When Duanping entered Luo, Zhao Kui was impeached by civil and military officials in the court. In the end, it was only after it was cut off. Moreover, Zhao Kui has been in command of troops and wars and is very sensitive to food, grass and military pay. This incident happened under his nose. It would be really abnormal if he didn't care. Oh, the timing is, I came to Qingyuan Mansion for six years. I could have been transferred to the prefect three years ago. Unexpectedly, Wu Qian came. This time Wu Qian left, but Zhao Kui came again..." Gao Zhinian sighed and looked at the tea bowls that were broken all over the ground and pulled his beard hard.
If you get to this position in the officialdom, there is no fool because all the fools are killed.
The official culture of the Song Dynasty was the most prosperous in China's thousands of years of history. Various struggles were staged almost all day long from the court to the local government.
"San brother, how should we resolve this matter now?" asked the middle-aged scholar.
"Give away money, donate money!" Gao Zhinian thought for a while and ordered, "You can handle this matter, go to Yanggong Town, find Zhao Qi, pay the people who have a 500-yuan tax monday donation, and then donate another 1,000 taels of silver, so that he can continue to raise funds in Yin County!"
"Okay, I'll do it now!" The middle-aged scholar stood up and said goodbye and left.
"Haha, Zhao Qi, I heard that you were a fool before, but you were really stupid enough. You have no power and power to show off like this. Could it be that you think you have lived enough? I, Gao Zhinian, can you just get it like this..."
Kochinian sat alone in the living room, and after a long time, he pounded the table hard.
