Chapter 2687 Amnesty to the World
Fang Shangshu raised his hands to cover his eyes: "It has fallen, it has completely fallen. The wealthy family was captured by Ning Ji, and we didn't get anything~"
He originally thought that if Da Chu was gone, even if Da Feng could not be restored, it would be the Duke of Qin who would win the world.
How could we know that the Duke of Qin had no ambitions and had so many soldiers and horses in his hands, but instead of coming to the capital to seize the throne, he went south and killed his old master!
Forget about killing the old master, why don't you lead the troops and fight back to the capital to seize the throne? You just stopped at Dushan Mountain and didn't go further until the overall situation was decided before entering the city and becoming a minister of the Wei Dynasty.
How can it be better to be a minister than to be an emperor? !
Mr. Xu hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, it's not this bad. As long as you cheer up, you will definitely be able to make a comeback."
Ha, Fang Shangshu laughed bitterly: "Come back? I don't have this chance."
Mr. Xu didn't come to see the Fang Shangshu's sluggishness. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yan's father-in-law, Ning Ji wants us to give 50% of our property in two properties. What do you think?"
Then he said: "You have been the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for so many years. You must have a way to replenish the national treasury. If you come up with one or two strategies, the Fang family can turn around!"
Fang Shangshu was shocked when he heard this, and finally opened his eyes, looked at Mr. Xu, and sneered: "You can turn around with just one or two strategies? What Mr. Xu said is so easy, and you haven't noticed it yet, I have already He was secretly placed under house arrest!”
Young Master Xu was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "Father-in-law, who put you under house arrest? Is it the Wei family?"
Fang Shangshu said: "There is the Wei family, Emperor Jingyuan, and the Qin family...otherwise, why would I have been hiding at home and not going out? I would have saved myself a long time ago!"
Do you think he is stupid?
But when Wei Qi entered the palace to have an interview with Emperor Jingyuan, and he was unable to participate, he understood that Emperor Jingyuan had never believed him.
When Wei Xiao didn't allow him to attend the wake for Emperor Jing Yuan, he knew that he was in danger.
When the Qin family cut off his communication channels, he understood that the plan in the south was completely over, and so was he.
Of the three roads, I thought at least one would be accessible, but all three were gone!
"Hahaha!" Fang Shangshu has been dealing with many parties for his whole life, and he has always been profitable, but in the end he ended up in this situation. He laughed wildly, scaring Mr. Xu's descendants.
"Father-in-law, please calm down and don't get hysterical!" Young Master Xu was afraid that Fang Shangshu would go crazy, so he hurried over to help him, and pinched others to bring Fang Shangshu back from his madness.
Fang Shangshu looked at Mr. Xu with mixed feelings in his heart... He didn't like Xu Yan at first, but after the old manager brought back a piece of news from the south, he thought twice and decided to give his younger daughter to his stepmother. , his youngest legitimate daughter was allotted to him, just in case it was true, he could use it to make some profits for the Fang family.
Therefore, Fang Shangshu did not get angry with Xu Yan and only said: "You are a good boy. Don't imitate your grandfather. You must be kind to others. Don't..."
"Shut up, Mr. Fang, you are really crazy for telling this to a junior!" Mr. Xu was so angry that he almost wanted to attack Shangshu Fang.
"What, are you afraid? If you were afraid, you shouldn't have done some shameful things just to get married to the emperor." Fang Shangshu laughed, looked at Mr. Xu up and down, and said: "Your father is not good at anything, you are a human being Neither your character nor your abilities are good, but you can give birth..."
After Fang Shangshu hurt Mr. Xu, he suddenly changed his subject and said: "Donate 50% of the property in the light and dark areas. If you donate it, the Xu family can continue to live on. If you don't donate it, you will die!"
Do you really think that when the dynasty changes, only the Chu Dynasty will die, and you don’t have to pay any price?
Fang Shangshu looked at Xu Yan and said, "Live a good life with Sister Qi. If you encounter any undecided matters, come and ask me at any time. I will not let you couple suffer."
Xu Yan nodded: "Yes."
but……
"Didn't my father-in-law say that you are under house arrest? Then can we still visit you at any time?"
Fang Shangshu smiled bitterly and said: "My business has been done, and I won't stop you from coming to see me anymore. Besides, they are all capable people. Knowing your father-in-law, I don't dare to make any more trouble, so I want to see my daughter." Son-in-law, it’s still okay.”
Even the message sent out has to be intercepted and checked.
However, after the donation of the child is over, he will be of little value, and Wei Xiao and Qin Guogong's people will be removed by then.
"Yes, my son-in-law and Sister Qi will come to see you often... Don't be sad, it will be fine." Xu Yan was very sad when the family collapsed, and he cried when he spoke.
Fang Shangshu said: "Well, I know, go back with your grandfather."
Then he looked at Mr. Xu and warned: "Look at Xu Yan, if you don't want him to die, then donate your property, both places. Don't hide your property, otherwise the Xu family will be destroyed!"
Mr. Xu came here to seek survival, but when he received such words, the scandal back then was almost exposed. He was so angry that he wanted to kill Fang Shangshu, but he snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Xu Yan was worried that something had happened to him, so he hurriedly chased him. He felt terribly miserable. When would these miserable days end? !
…
The wealthy and aristocratic families were in a bad mood, but most people in the capital were very happy.
In the restaurants on the street, many people are talking about the new emperor's banquet with ministers tomorrow: "The palace banquet will be a first-class spectacle."
Shopkeeper Lin said: "It's more than spectacular, I'm afraid it's comparable to the Jade Banquet of the gods in the sky... I really want to go into the palace and see it. If I can go and see it, it will be worth my death!"
"Ah, Lao Lin, you are a restaurant owner, but you still dream about going to the palace to have a banquet? Wake up quickly!" The regular customers of the restaurant laughed at him.
Shopkeeper Lin was unhappy and said in a loud voice: "The great-grandfather of Liu Yamen in Jingzhao Mansion was an old butcher. He could even go to the palace for banquets. Is it embarrassing for me, the shopkeeper of the restaurant?!"
"Although Chang Lao is a butcher, he is over ninety years old. He is an elder and a blessed person. Do you have the ability to live that long?"
Shopkeeper Lin shut up after hearing this... At ninety years old, a person with a short life would have died three times. How could he live so long?
Then he murmured dissatisfiedly: "It's a shame that a butcher who kills so much can live so long."
Although he said it softly, the customer who came to check out at the counter still heard it and said with a smile: "Gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people. The more serious this killing is, the less the Lord of Hell will dare to accept it easily... Look at those military masters wearing armor and carrying swords." , people not only live longer, but also have a great future, and become noble."
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Lin was so frightened that he hurriedly slapped the counter and said, "Fang Xiucai, please keep your mouth shut. If the military master hears this, you will be doomed."
Fang Xiucai smiled: "I'm telling the truth. Besides, I went out to the city and met many soldiers. I chatted with them. They are not as scary as the rumors say. They are all very good people, and many of them are quite good. I am literate, can recite poetry, and can calculate accounts.”
Speaking of settling accounts, Fang Xiucai looked at Shopkeeper Lin and said, "I heard that we are going to open an accounting department to recruit junior officials who can settle accounts for the Ministry of Accounts to collect business taxes. You are a good accountant. Back then, you were just a bad person." In terms of policy theory, I didn’t get the honors... How about giving it a try, maybe you can win, it’s better than working for your boss all the time.”
Shopkeeper Lin is just a shopkeeper who gets a monthly salary and is not yet able to open a restaurant in the capital.
Shopkeeper Lin was moved by the words, but said: "Forget it, Dong Dong's family has been very good to me. Follow him, work hard, and teach my two boys so that they can have a good future. I will spend the rest of my life with him." Even if I achieve consummation, I don’t dare to dream of becoming an official.”
After hearing this, Fang Xiucai said angrily: "You are really worthless, this is..."
Before he finished speaking, many people were heard exclaiming: "Hey, look, look, the generals outside the city are starting to enter the city!"
After hearing this, the guests in the restaurant were surprised and said: "Ah, are you entering the city now? Doesn't the banquet start tomorrow?"
