Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 15 Keeping the Promise
You must know that the household registration system in the Ming Dynasty was quite mature, and the inspection was quite strict. Whether you lived in an inn or rented a house, you must provide household registration information.

Although he has the status of a scholar, he does not need to go to the government to lead the way to other places as a study tour, but once the Fan family accuses him officially and makes him a wanted criminal, it will be difficult for him to move forward in Daming.

However, his household registration is in Yu County, which belongs to Zhang Jiatao's jurisdiction. Even if the Fan family wanted to frame him, they had to get Zhang Jiatao's consent, so he chose to give Long Qi to Zhang Jiatao and let Zhang Jiatao protect him.

The reason why dragon energy is used instead of silver is because at the level of the Fan family, ordinary gold and silver are no longer enough for Zhang Jiatao to take risks. After all, Zhang Jiatao, as the magistrate of Yu County, can easily earn a few dollars in a year Thousand taels of silver.

The sum of the entire Su family's property is only the income of Zhang Jiatao's county magistrate for two years. Zhang Jiatao has a bright future, so how could he fight against a big family like the Fan family for a little money.

But the dragon qi is different. According to what Uncle Fu said, the dragon qi can shelter the descendants. Ordinary people like the Su family who have no roots and bottomless need only find a place with good geomantic omens to bury their ancestors and bury eight dragon qi crystals. She can shade the descendants for ten generations, the family is rich and noble, and there are many talents, and within two or three generations, she can become a wealthy family.

And Zhang Jiatao, who is a wealthy family in itself, can shelter several generations with three coins, so for Zhang Jiatao, money is just a possession outside his body, and it is not worth him to be tough with the Fan family, but the dragon spirit is worth it, three coins The crystallization of dragon energy was enough for Zhang Jiatao to make a move.

Hearing Su Hao's words, Zhang Jiatao frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Zhang Jiatao gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Wei can guarantee that the Fan family will not make things difficult for you in the official face."

"But you must swear by the ancestors of the Su family that no matter what happens, you will never confess me!"

Dragon Qi is taboo in Ming Dynasty. Once someone discovers it, it will be a catastrophe. The Fan family is fine, but if Su Hao is caught by the government or people from the Jin Yiwei, and he is confessed, then the Zhang family will be ruined. .

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Su Hao nodded with a serious expression, and then swore a poisonous oath in the name of the ancestors of the Su family.

Seeing Su Hao's poisonous oath, Zhang Jiatao's face also changed into a smile. The oaths of ordinary people are naturally not trustworthy, but the Su family is different. The Su family is a family of practitioners. Although they practice heresy, they are also practitioners. The oath, will eventually be fulfilled.

"Nephew, you go back to the lobby and wait, and prepare money for uncle."

Zhang Jiatao said with a smile, although he made a lot of money in Yu County, it is impossible for him to stay here, and now he has to take out more than 1 taels for a while, so he has no choice but to find a big family in the county to raise money , but in his capacity, this is not difficult.

.........

Deep in the Hengshan Mountains.

On a small hill, more than ten people gathered together. Some people raised their heads and looked into the distance from time to time, as if they were waiting for someone. Not far from the ten people, there were three figures lying on the ground whose life and death were unknown.

"Old Hou, why hasn't Master Qi come yet?"

A thick and fleshy man with an impatient face, he had just married a third concubine, but he hadn't enjoyed it for a few days before he was sent to be a savage in the deep mountains and old forests.

"That's right, Mr. Hou, this Seventh Master has never missed the time. How long has it been since today's time? Is there anything wrong?"

Another strong man spoke.

The old man called Hou was an old man of Miao nationality wearing a blue jacket, his real name was Hou Rui. At this time, the old man's face was also very gloomy. After hearing what the two said, Hou Rui's face became even uglier. !
"Shut up!"

The next moment, Hou Rui yelled angrily: "Wait obediently!"

As the leader of this operation, he knows more things. The so-called Seventh Master is a dead man raised by the Fan family with a secret method. Unless he is dead, he will definitely not stop coming. Now they can only continue wait.

"Old Hou, calm down, calm down, the younger one is just complaining, just complaining, and has no other ideas."

Seeing Hou Rui's anger, the burly man quickly smiled. This old man is not something he can offend. Among other things, the strange poisonous insects on this old man are enough for him. Looting these hundreds of people in a trace, all relying on the weird poisonous insects on this old man, angering this old man, he wants to die is an extravagant hope!

As time passed, a strange atmosphere began to appear in the crowd. Everyone knew that something must have happened.

"Get rid of those three people first!"

When he saw that the sun was about to set, Hou Rui said in a cold voice. Although he didn't know what the Fan family was doing in Hengshan, he also knew that it would definitely not be a trivial matter. Now that something happened, the most important thing is Go back and report.

Hearing Hou Rui's words, the burly man came to the side of the three lying on the ground, and stomped on the necks of the three, only to hear a few "clicks", and the three suddenly lost their breath.

"go!"

Seeing this scene, Hou Rui gritted his teeth and took the lead towards the outside of the mountain.

...

On the other side, Su Hao waited for nearly an hour before Zhang Jiatao came back.

"Nephew, here is 6000 taels of silver, please count it."

Zhang Jiatao opened several small boxes, inside which were neatly stacked an ingot of silver, each of which was 50 taels of official silver.

"My nephew can trust Uncle Zhang."

Hearing this, Su Hao chuckled lightly and said, compared to Longqi, a mere 6000 taels of silver is not enough to make Zhang Jiatao renege on his promise and make him fat, but the inspection seems stingy.

Seeing Su Hao's attitude, Zhang Jiatao was even more satisfied, and after a few polite words, Zhang Jiatao asked, "I don't know where my nephew is going to settle down next?"

He is very concerned about Su Hao's next destination. It's not that he has any bad intentions towards Su Hao, but that he doesn't want to lose Su Hao's trace completely. Now the Zhang family can be said to be tied to Su Hao's ship. On board!

It doesn't matter if Su Hao is dead, if it falls into the hands of the government or Jin Yiwei, even if Su Hao has sworn a poisonous oath, he is still worried that Su Hao will confess him. After all, Jin Yiwei's methods are not fake. In Jin Yiwei's hands, Su Hao may not be able to keep his mouth shut.

So it's best to keep Su Hao under surveillance. Once something happens to Su Hao, the Zhang family will know immediately, so they can find a way to deal with it.

"This little nephew has not been identified yet."

Su Hao shook his head: "At present, my nephew just wants to leave Shanxi first. When the destination is decided, my nephew will definitely write to Uncle Zhang."

He is also clear about Zhang Jiatao's thoughts, but he does not intend to hide it from Zhang Jiatao. Now Zhang Jiatao and him are regarded as grasshoppers on the same rope. With Zhang Jiatao around, some official matters can be borrowed from Zhang Jiatao's momentum.

"Then uncle will wait for the letter from my nephew."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Zhang Jiatao smiled forcedly, but he couldn't force Su Hao to give him an explanation.

At this time, Su Hao suddenly came to the box and took out ten silver coins: "Uncle Zhang, my nephew has something else to ask Uncle Zhang, before Ding Butou died to save my nephew's life, my nephew promised to take care of them A whole family."

"Now my nephew can't stay here any longer. For the 500 taels, Uncle Zhang will send 300 taels to Ding Butou's house for my nephew. If there is anything in their family, I have to ask Uncle Zhang to take care of it. As for the other 200 taels, I will do it." Let Uncle Zhang distribute it to the family members of the other arresters."
