Chapter 81: Making a fortune
But with the big change in the manor, the steward of the manor was worried.
“Master, isn’t there a pause in what’s going on over in Suzhou and Songjiang? I feel a little unsettled.”
Shen Jing heard, his face ugly up: “Now the disaster is like fire, this winter is coming again, the people have no food and clothing, such a natural disaster, people are like grass, I do not know how many people to starve to death …….”
Shen Jing paused and continued, “Such a good time, if you don’t take advantage of this opportunity to earn more, is that still a human being?”
“But ……”
“But what?” Shen Jing said airily, “But you’re worried in your heart?”
“There is nothing to worry about, up and down, all have been punched, want to be safe, the most important thing is not to strike, but rather take this opportunity to earn more silver, with more silver, everyone from our Shen family here to get the benefit of the safer. You can rest assured, nowadays …… should be bad luck is someone else, not our Shen family, you properly set up is, other do not have to worry about.”
The steward heard this and thought it made sense, so he nodded and went on his way.
Shen Jing although this is said, but the heart is still not happy, Zhuangzi out of this file, although not make him worry, but let his heart suffocated panic.
In the past few days, he had already repaired many letters and asked some friends in the court for help, hoping that they would make some articles on this matter, or to avenge his own arrow.
As for the man from the Ministry of Justice who had come to investigate him, he didn’t give it a second thought.
To put it more crudely, even if the one who comes is the Brocade Guards, isn’t it still true that money makes the devil go round?
As long as we are human, we have weaknesses.
Over the years, Shen Jing had long had it in her heart.
It was only some of the Shen family’s properties that still taught him some uneasiness.
Especially the newly scuttled brother ship industry, these people have a deep background and are getting stronger, if this continues, it may be a threat to the Shen family.
So after resting at home for two days, he went to the Qixia Temple and donated three thousand taels of joss stick money to it.
Monks in the temple got incense and oil money, overjoyed, will be this Shen good man as a bodhisattva general offer up.
After a day or two of idleness in the temple, someone entered the temple, “Master, over there …… I hope that the master can rest assured that within a few days, there will be a big commotion, and I will definitely give the master out of anger.”
Shen Jing relaxed her heart and laughed coldly, then descended the mountain.
In the temple, Shen Jing is not escorted, after all, the Buddhist treasure, those killing guards can not help but brake the scenery.
The guards and Shen family members were waiting outside the mountain gate.
Shen Jing was wearing a cloth coat, after a few days of practicing in the temple, now he had a face as calm as water, and his heart was greatly improved.
Within a few steps of the temple, he was about to walk down the hill.
Suddenly, a teenager picked his nose and stepped forward, saying, “Dare I ask if you are Shen Jing of the Shen Family Village?”
The man looked somewhat familiar.
But after all, it is a teenager, looking at the silly, Shen Jing has nothing to be defensive, subconsciously said, “Exactly.”
His words fell.
The teenager said, “That’s him!”
A shout.
Suddenly …… Shen Jing s eyes went black.
But it was a sack straight over the head.
Set his sack of people are very skillful, three people a sack, a direct set, not waiting for Shen Jing reaction cursing, someone hooked him a foot, Shen Jing fell, directly the whole person fell into the sack.
Immediately after that, the mouth of the sack was tied, and took the twine, and then three people worked together to lift the sack.
On the other side, someone rushed the car over, the sacks were thrown directly into the car, and the four teenagers, together, got on the car and whistled away.
…………
The Sacred Mechanics Battalion.
This large schoolyard is used by the Divine Opportunity Battalion for specialized firearms drills.
But there were no drills today, so it seemed empty.
The old guards recognized Zhu Yong and knew that he was from the Duke of Cheng’s residence, and when they heard that he was here to experiment with gunpowder, they naturally didn’t dare to stop him.
And pleasantly enough, he had to pour tea and water for these four noble gentlemen.
By the time the tea was properly over, the old pawn was green in the face.
Because he then realized that the four noble dudes dragged down a sack from the car, and that sack would still be moving.
Immediately afterward, Chuson began digging a hole in a sloping area with a shovel.
Zhang Yoking ran to give Qiu Song a hand with gusto.
Zhu Yong, on the other hand, kicked the sack and scolded, “Move what move, later have you move time.”
Zhang Anshi advised from the sidelines, “Second brother, don’t make things difficult for people like this, when will injustice end?”
In a moment, the pit was dug and the iron barrels were set into it.
This was followed by the loading of two powder packets.
Shen Jing was also carried out of the sack.
Shen Jing was able to see the light of day, and when she saw that it was these four boys, she immediately understood what was going on.
He immediately cursed under his breath, “Little thieves, you are so bold, in broad daylight ……”
Zhu Yong’s eyes glared and he directly pounded his fist over.
Shen Jing instantly knocked out an incisor and his mouth was full of blood.
“Do you …… you know who I am? Do you …… know …… you do …… this?”
Zhang Anshi said smilingly, “I invited you here to ask you just a few things, there is no need to be afraid.”
On this side, Chuson had already begun to light the fire and set off the cannons.
Shen Jing was still cursing under her breath.
Soon, though, he couldn’t curse anymore.
The earth shook with a rumble.
Zhang Anshi four people, this has been accustomed to, but Shen Jing is still unable to accept, only to feel that their internal organs are about to shatter.
When Shen Jing slowly regained his hearing and consciousness, Zhang Anshi asked him with a smile, “Where is your family’s money and grain hidden? Which people have you colluded with in Songjiang and Suzhou?”
When Shen Jing heard this, she only felt ridiculous.
Zhang Anshi then said to Zhu Yong, “Second brother, keep firing the cannon.”
“Okay.” Zhu Yong rubbed his fists and filled a gunpowder packet, followed by …… pushing Shen Jing to the huge gun mouth, picking up Shen Jing and stuffing it into the gun mouth.
Shen Jing was trembling with fear all over her body, and said sharply, “What are you …… you guys doing?”
Zhu Yong s strength is extremely strong, and Shen Jing is pampered, where is the strength, a moment of effort …… the whole person will be like a round ball, stuffed into the mouth of the huge cannon.
Qusong suddenly said from the sidelines, “That’s not right.”
Zhu Yong looked back at him, “Go go go, go aside.”
“Gunpowder put less, others have a hundred pounds, I’m afraid I can not blow up, but also need to add another gunpowder package.”
The crowd then dragged Shen Jing out of the cannon’s mouth again with seven hands and eight feet.
Shen Jing had already pissed herself in fear, and her eyes began to roll over, about to pass out.
Qiu Song added another gunpowder packet and tamped it down before he did some math in silence and said, “That’s about right, you can blow up a hundred paces.”
The crowd began to stuff Shen Jing back in again.
Zhang Anshi on the sidelines appeared to speak in a heavy and deep voice: “Shen Shanren, just say it, if you don’t say it, I, Zhang Anshi, will have to collect your corpse, I am most afraid of seeing blood, I can’t bear to see people blown to pieces.”
Zhang Anshi …… Zhang Anshi …… His name is Zhang Anshi.
Shen Jing panicked at this point, and he cursed, “Zhang Anshi, I’ll enter your mother!”
Zhang Anshi’s face immediately pulled down.
“He doesn’t give face to big brother, so you know what to do yourselves.”
Qiu Song excitedly and hurriedly said, “I’ll light the fire, I’ll light the fire, these two gunpowder packs have to be lit together, it’s sloppy.”
After saying that, he went to grab the fire folders in Zhu Yong’s hand.
Immediately following ……
Zigzag ……
Shen Jing heard the familiar sound of a burning fuse.
His scalp exploded.
If it was someone else, he would not be afraid, the other party is just threatening himself, he is also considered to have seen the world, it is nothing more than a trick to scare people.
But these four teenagers …… looked at the hair did not grow ah.
This type of teenager is the most harmful because you never know what they are capable of.
Zip Zip Zip ……
Shen Jing thought that next, he was going to be blown to fine pieces, and he had seen this explosion before.
It’s horrible, this life is gone not to mention, not even a whole body.
Zigzag ……
“Good man spare your life!”
Shen Jing bawled her eyes out.
Zip Zip Zip ……
Shen Jing cried and exclaimed, “Say, I’ll say, I’ll say everything.”
It was then that Zhang Anshi, in a hurry, used the water that had been prepared long ago to directly douse the fuse that was about to disappear into the barrel of the cannon.
“What do you want to say?” Zhang Anshi said smilingly.
Zhang Anshi is such a pleasant person.
Shen Jing was stunned, but he soon regained a trace of rationality, he judged at that moment that the other party was scaring himself, this teenager in front of him was different from the other three stupid teenagers, this person looked like someone with a brain.
“I don’t know anything.”
Zhang Anshi’s smile then violently disappeared, showed his teeth and said: “Toast, but not to be punished, it seems that if you do not blow up, you certainly do not say, no harm, it does not matter if you do not say, your family is not the only one who knows, I do not believe that your steward of the Shen family, as well as your sons and nephews, they will not know, you are not afraid to die, then will be one by one to capture them, to see if they are afraid of it. ”
Shen Jingxin shivered.
This is the classic prisoner’s dilemma.
“Say …… I say ……” He eventually got frustrated, it was better to save his own little life first.
…………
One hour later.
In an unassuming Sushumi Temple dock depot.
This depot is very common and is directly connected to the waterway of the Qinhuai River.
And at that moment, Zhang Anshi a few, rushed in with a few guards from Zhu Yong’s family.
The man guarding the vault was quickly brought under control and subjected to Zhu Yong’s whacking.
Smashed the lock straight away.
The vault door opens.
Immediately after that, Zhang Anshi’s few people went in.
Then he was stunned by the scene at the head of the place.
The whole storehouse …… is full.
Countless piles of gold and silver were piled up, and a huge treasure trove was revealed in front of Zhang Anshi and the others.
“Big brother …… big brother …… this …… this …… this …… this …… “Zhang Yoking has looked at the eyes straight.
Although his big brother had brought him a lot of silver, it was the first time he had seen such a huge fortune.
I’m afraid that I wouldn’t dare to have such an imagination when I’m dreaming.
Zhang Anshi was also jaw-dropped.
In his original consciousness, he thought that the Shen family’s silver must be quite a lot, after all, they are all called the great benefactor, they must have done a lot of unethical things.
But where do you think …… that people are doing much more unethical than they think.
“Motherfucker, what are you still waiting for, big brother is guarding here, you guys find someone and immediately go to the palace to report, go.”
“No way.”
“What?” Zhang Anshi turned back to look at Zhang Yoking.
Zhang Yoking said, “I can’t take a step ah, big brother, I’m also here to guard, have to slow down the strength, you hire another.”
