Chapter 795: Town School Agreement

"I will pass on the message." Zhu Xuemo accepted the reward, bowed and said goodbye, then went to notify the other families on the list.

Not long after, the servants of the Wen family arrived and asked Mr. Qu Si and his wife to go and see Wen Tao.

Qu Si and his wife did not dare to delay and immediately followed the servants to see Mr. Wen Tao.

But this time, Wen Tao did not let them kneel and wait outside. He met them immediately and asked them, "Does the Qin family want to take Fourth Master Qu to the capital to meet Duke Yan?"

He actually called Qu Si "Grandpa"?

With a plop, Qu Si and his wife knelt down.

Fourth Master Qu said, "Mr. Tao, the Qin family did send someone to inform me just now, but I didn't agree immediately and said I would reply tomorrow. The Qin family also said that they would just take me there, and whether I can meet Duke Yan or not depends on Duke Yan's opinion."

Then he said cautiously, "Please tell me, Mr. Tao, do you want me to go?"

Wen Tao felt relieved, and his anger subsided a little. He also gave up the idea of ​​writing a letter back to the capital to ask someone to torture Qu Si, his wife and their children.

Oh, it’s a good thing that Qu Si and his wife were sensible, otherwise his two children, both boy and girl, would have their innocence in danger!

Once their reputation is damaged, even if Qu Si and his wife create a good career here, their children will not be able to marry normally.

Wen Tao did not think that he was vicious. This was a common method used by the powerful families to control semi-slaves.

Humph, relying on the support of their aristocratic families to protect and expand their family business, you want to step on your master's head? Dream on!

But the fact is, the crisis faced by the family business of the so-called half-slave family was planned by the powerful families.

In order to protect their family businesses, local merchants could only become semi-slaves.

From then on, 50% of the family business's profits had to be paid to the wealthy and powerful families.

The powerful families plotted against the local merchants, forced them to become half-slaves and eat the support provided by the local merchants, and then, in the name of education, required the local merchants to send their children to the powerful families' masters' homes as hostages!

In the end, the semi-slave would be asked to be grateful, and any sign of resistance from the semi-slave would be regarded as a traitor!

That's it?

Don’t even mention humans, even pigs can’t stand it!

"Do you know if Duke Yan will come to Taifeng Town?" Wen Tao did not answer Fourth Master Qu, but asked this question.

This?

Fourth Master Qu shook his head: "Replying to Mr. Tao, I haven't heard of this... But I heard that old man Xun is also on the list. He is a superb doctor, and it is rumored that Duke Yan is weak. If old man Xun goes to the capital, I guess Duke Yan will not come to Taifeng Town again."

Bang!

Mr. Wen Tao smashed a glass teacup, scaring everyone present to kneel down.

Wen Tao was angry and unwilling. The reason why he spent the New Year in this shabby countryside was that the Wen family's followers speculated that there was a 50% chance that Duke Yan would come to Taifeng Town to meet the Qin family.

That's why he gave up going back to the capital to socialize with Marquis Wenchang and stayed here.

But now it seems that Duke Yan will most likely not come to Taifeng Town, but the Qin family will take people to the capital to meet Duke Yan!

His plans and waiting were all in vain.

And he was not on the list. How dare the Qin family do that?

He is a son of a powerful family, but he is not as good as Qu Si? The Qin family is clearly deliberately slapping him in the face, how can he not hate them? !

However, his temper started too early.

"Sir, Qin Zhuang from the Qin family is here." The steward of the Wen family reported outside the door.

Wen Tao was shocked. Someone from the Qin family had come, and it was that rude and crazy man from Qin Zhuang. What was he doing here? !

"Take Master Qin to the guest room, I'll be there in a moment." Wen Tao said, and then said to the people who were kneeling, "Everyone, stand up... Qu Si, you and your wife stay here, don't let Master Qin..." see you.

But Wen Tao couldn't continue.

As for his relationship with the Qu family, it was known to everyone from the beginning, and there was no need to avoid meeting them.

But Wen Tao felt it would be too awkward to go see Qin Zhuang together.

In the end, I had to go see Uncle Qin myself.

When Uncle Qin saw him, he smiled and told him about inviting him to go to the capital: "Mr. Tao comes from the aristocratic Wen family. He can see Duke Yan anytime he wants, so we didn't dare to invite him at first. But I thought Mr. Tao is familiar with the capital. If we can go with Mr. Tao, we won't be at a loss when we get to the capital."

lie!

The Xue family is in the capital. When the Qin family goes to the capital, Xue Zhui will take care of them, so they don't need Wen Tao at all.

The reason they suddenly invited him was that they were afraid that if he stayed in the town, he would plot against the Qin family, and that Qin Er and Jiang Dalang would be out of reach.

Unfortunately, Wen Tao didn't guess correctly. The reason why he and the merchants were invited to meet the Duke of Yan was because the Duke of Yan felt that the three families of Wen, Kang and Jie were worth winning over and were useful, so he would give them face when it was due.

So Tian Shi Qi sent someone to tell Wen Tao to be included.

I just think Wen Tao himself lacks concentration and brains, so he got angry too early.

"Please come with us to the capital, Mr. Tao. Otherwise, the angel will blame my family for not doing our job well." Uncle Qin was very respectful, and looked like he was begging Wen Tao.

In fact, the bastard was very treacherous. He asked Zhu Xuemo to inform Qu Siye first, and deliberately passed by Wen Tao's residence without entering, which angered Wen Tao.

Wen Tao was almost so angry that he had a heart attack, but he could only accept this "good intention": "Thank you, Qin family, for thinking of me. I will go back to the capital with the Qin family to meet Duke Yan."

I understand, no farm boy, you must let me see the Duke of Yan!

"Please rest assured, Mr. Tao. The Qin family will do their best. However..." Uncle Qin made a request: "No matter whether the third village chief and others stay or go to the capital together, please help Mr. Tao to keep a close eye on them. Only the Wen family has this ability. Please."

There is also the third village chief on the list, but I don’t know whether he will go or not.

But whether they go or not, someone has to be assigned to keep an eye on them...and this menial task is best given to the Wen family.

At this moment, Wen Tao felt like he was being fooled and used as a laborer, and he still had to thank the Qin family.

"Okay, the Qin family can rest assured." Wen Tao agreed. After all, dealing with the mountain people was also a credit, and it would make Duke Yan look at him with higher regard.

"Thank you, Mr. Tao..." Uncle Qin was grateful, bowed and thanked him, and said a lot of flattering words before leaving.

Wen Tao was almost annoyed to death by him!

After everyone left, Wen Tao let out a breath and felt relieved.

After a half-minute break, Wen Tao went to see Qu Si and his wife: "Qu Si replied to the Qin family that you go to the capital. You and your wife go and persuade the three wild men to agree to go to the capital."

From what Qin Er said, Qi Tianshi should want the three leaders to go to the capital... Maybe Duke Yan wants to do something to Shannei.

"Yes, my wife and I will definitely take care of it." Mr. Qu Si and his wife bowed and took their leave, preparing gifts so that Mrs. Qu Si could meet Yuling the next day.

It is up to Yuling to capture the three village chiefs.

In addition to the three village chiefs, Aunt Alan, Mengzi and other mountain people are also on the list.

Among the merchants, there are Mr. Weng, Mr. Shan, Jia Xiang and his father and son, Mr. Dai who has stayed in Taifeng Town, and the Zhao family of the cotton goods business...

The Qin family sent people to notify them one by one.

After receiving the news, everyone was extremely happy. Master Dai almost fainted with joy. He immediately asked people to prepare generous gifts and send them to the Qin family before dark.

Fearing that the Qin family would not accept them, the Dai family's uncle who was in charge of delivering the gifts also said: "Mr. Qin, if your family doesn't need them, you can give them to the Wei army. They are all real things, nothing too expensive."

Alas, Grandpa Qin sighed, "Only accept it this time, don't give it away again. The Dai family still needs to open a charity bureau to raise orphans, and everything costs money."

Uncle Dai said, "Don't worry, my father is so grateful that he sent you another gift. In the future, he will send gifts during the New Year or when your family has a happy event. Don't worry."

This?

He is truly a wealthy man.

Jiang Xiaozhu almost drooled when she heard this.

Qin Xiaomai: "Shut your mouth, or Runxi will see you and tell grandma, and you will be punished again."
