Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 511 Good idea

After Xue Yan finished speaking, Fang Yu added: "Oh~ So it's for this matter? Then why did you come to me? Could it be that you came to borrow money? Let me tell you, as long as you enter the master, I will The money in your pocket is like a person who has passed the bridge of Naihe after death, and there is no possibility of turning back~!"

Xue Yan knew that the county magistrate loves money. Hearing this, he felt that their family has no money now, so there is no value for them to use. Even the address has changed from "Brother Xue" to "You", which is amazing. It's really faster to turn your face than to turn a book. Once you hear that you don't have money, you won't recognize anyone.

Xue Yan hurriedly said: "Ouch~ Master, look, what are you talking about? The money I gave you is yours. No matter how hard I am, I won't reach out to the master for money. , that deserves to be short-lived! I... I'm here today, just to ask the master to help me. Our maid saw the suspect who stole money yesterday, so I asked the master to call the master of Danqing in the yamen to draw a picture. Draw a portrait of the thief and post it all over the county. I think they won’t be able to go far after stealing so many things. If they can find them back, our Xue family’s wealth will not be lost. I will thank you very much. master."

Fang Yuzeng sneered and said, "If you said the word 'thank you', you made a wrong calculation. What kind of things can impress me?"

thing?My god~ Xue's family has been stolen now, and only the furniture and the house can be sold for some money.But the county magistrate has his own county government, so he doesn't need to live in any good house. Besides, if this house is given to him, will his family go to sleep on the street?
Xue Yan put his mind to one side: "How about this, if our Xue family's things can be recovered, I only need enough money for one purchase, and the rest will be given to the Elder Master, Elder Master, please see..."

Fang Yuzeng slapped his palm on the table after hearing this, "It's too much, this is really too much! Under the jurisdiction of this county, there are such blatant thieves! Come on, here I will ask the painter to come over, and he must paint carefully, even if this county asks him to spread his wings, it will be difficult for him to fly out of my Longyou County!"

Not to mention, the painters in the Longyou County Government Office are pretty good at painting, and the portraits of Yuexi and Xue Hong are [-] to [-]% similar.

Yuexi looked disdainful: "Hmph! It's no big deal to be able to draw it. If they have the ability, they will really catch me. This Longyou County really got into the eyes of money. Once I heard that Xue's money can be divided Give him a part, and he will be like a chicken blood, how can he look like a local parent official!"

Xue Hong also snorted coldly: "There is such a county magistrate in Longyou County, which is simply a tragedy for the people. It seems that I have to go to Quzhou Mansion."

Xue Hong came out this time with the badge of Prince Yong.The local officials don't know anything else, but they still dare not not know this stuff.I don't know who the prefect of Quzhou is. Will he punish Fang Yuzeng severely, or will the officials protect each other and ignore him?

It only took a few days for Xue Hong to go to Quzhou. Fang Yuzeng, the magistrate of Longyou County here, is so serious that he almost searched all the places under his jurisdiction that might hide prisoners, but he couldn't find the one painted on the portrait Two people.

What they are looking for is not just two people, but a wealth of wealth, can they not be in a hurry?But no matter how the people in the yamen dug three feet in the territory of Longyou County, there was no trace of these two people, let alone their whereabouts, and even the people who had seen these two people were very few, as if these two people had no trace at all. I have never been to Longyou County.

Fang Yuzeng was angry and anxious, and the yamen servants who came to report would only say "no news yet", so he had to drink to drown his worries.

That night, taking advantage of the bright moon in the yard, Fang Yuzeng simply asked someone to put the wine table in a gazebo in the government office.He and the master were cooking hot pot on the gazebo while watching the moon and drinking.

"Hey...Master, master, master, why do I just recite it so little? The money that is about to be obtained, but two shadows have not caught up! The Xue family is also the same. If the master is not allowed, I will know about their family. Stolen, or refused to give me a large sum of money, master, why should I ask for it so much, and feel so uncomfortable? Then Xue Yan, what a bastard!"

This master has been with him since the beginning of his official career, and he knows everything about Fang Yuzeng, so how could he not know what he is thinking at this moment?
The master laughed and said: "Master is just worried about the yellow and white things, but the little one has a plan, which can definitely solve the master's worries."

"Oh? What's your plan? Tell me quickly!"

"Master, Xue's family has been stolen to the point that there is nothing left. You said that so much of their family's wealth disappeared overnight? It can be seen that it was not just one or two people who stole it, and they couldn't keep their own belongings. It is not known that people guard themselves and steal. Even if it has nothing to do with the servants, the people in this city are suspected of covering up. Why can't they find any clues of the thief after searching for so long? In my humble opinion, the master might as well order the people to cover up the Snitch The loss of the Xue family will be compensated by the people in the city. It doesn’t need a lot, just one or two taels of silver from the family. After counting, there are thousands of families in our county, isn’t it just a few thousand Two? Besides, even though we are talking about recovering losses for the Xue family, the collected money has to be brought into our yamen first, and in the hands of the master, are you willing to reward the Xue family with a few taels, or just a few taels?"

This master didn't know that the nerve was on the main artery, and he clapped his hands repeatedly after listening to the master's words: "Oh, you are right, you said too much! In this way, master, I will collect a 'special tax' again. Well, this time it was for his Xue family. I calculated how angry the people in the city were, but I could only blame the Xue family. Who let the Xue family be stolen, and was stolen by a very powerful person. It's no wonder that you don't give up when you ask for money. It's no wonder that my master is here to appease the Xue family. Thinking about it, most of the people in the city are oppressed by the Xue family. Pocket? Oh, what a great idea of ​​yours!"

It can be said that Fang Yuzeng moved quickly, he got such a good idea that night, and ran to implement it the next day.It was really as he expected, all the people in the city were itching with hatred when they found out about this matter, but no one dared to complain.Anyway, even a tael of silver is not considered impossible, and most people have handed it over.

But a tael of silver is very precious to some people after all, and there are not a few who can't pay it.

When Xue Hong and Yue Xi brought people from Quzhou Prefecture to Longyou County, they happened to encounter officers and soldiers forcing people to pay money. Xue Hong was furious: "Stop, what are you doing?!"
