ps. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the diǎn515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote also gives diǎn coins, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Saying such words in his mouth, Steward Zhang also muttered to himself in his heart.

This prince of An Guo doesn't look at people coldly, he can't speak half of his words, and his lord has received half of the benefits from those who steal and sell official food for so many years, but he said that he is making some fat powder money for his wife.

With such a huge amount of silver, even the most expensive fat powder in Fengyi Xuan can be bought.

But no matter how much he muttered in his heart, Steward Zhang could only hold it in his heart, who called it now that the Zhou family asked Xiao Jingbei to accept this money?

The Zhou family is not favored by the emperor now, and with the big secret mastered by the Fengzhi singer in front of them, they no longer dare to let Zhao Tiannan set his eyes on them, for fear that they will be killed if there is a case, not to mention that it is related to such a strict case of stealing and selling official food.

If it weren't for that, how could Zhou Tai bear the pain of taking out half of the huge benefits obtained in the official grain case to beg Xiao Jingbei's subordinates for mercy?

Steward Zhang has been by Zhou Tai's side for so many years, and he is regarded as a confidant, he knows what a big number this half of the benefit is, and Zhou Tai has no choice but to be ruthless this time.

Steward Zhang still remembers the appearance of his master gritting his teeth and heartache at that time.

However, compared to the lives of the Zhou family, it is naturally worth giving up half of the benefits.

As for picking out the Zhou family. What should I do with the hole that is missing in the official food case......

Since Xiao Jingbei agreed to accept the money, he should naturally do something after taking the money.

There are many officials involved in the official grain case, although the Cheng'en Mansion is not the one who steals and sells the official grain with his own hands, but there are a lot of benefits in his hands, and he knows that there are not many officials in the Zhou family who are related to this, however, the Zhou family is not worried about this at all, as long as Xiao Jingbei, the person who investigates the case, is willing to raise his hand, those who are destined to be sent to prison, the Zhou family is fully capable of making them unable to say what they shouldn't say.

Steward Zhang and Xiao Jingbei discussed this "cooperation" for a while. Then he said goodbye and left.

(3)°Fdǐng(3)°Fdiǎn(3)°Fsmall(3)°Fsay,.◇.o≤s_(); Just now, Xiao Shizi said it clearly. Before the benefits are obtained, it is impossible for him to let go, but he really doesn't see rabbits and eagles, but there is no room for bargaining at all. Steward Zhang could only leave in a hurry, and let people send the benefits to Xiao Jingbei as quickly as possible.

And after Steward Zhang left. Xiao Jingbei looked in the direction of the door. Sneered silently.

I don't know whether to say that the Zhou family is too naïve, or whether they believe too much that the bait they gave will definitely hook Xiao Jingbei's big fish, and they never doubted whether Xiao Jingbei's approval was really credible.

Will Xiao Jingbei let the Zhou family go like this?

The answer, of course, is no.

At the beginning, Zhou Yuran and the Zhou family behind her repeatedly wanted to put Xiao Jingbei to death. Although Xiao Jingbei survived, it doesn't mean that the grudges he has formed will be over.

Not to mention, there is also Zhou Yuran's poor diǎn tired An Guogong Xiao Li's reputation has been discredited.

Xiao Jingbei thought, if he really made a mistake of letting go of the Zhou family, on the day he returned to Beijing, would Feng Zhige directly point at him and shout "brain dead"?

Thinking of Feng Zhige, the corners of Xiao Jingbei's mouth pulled back slightly, and there was a little more temperature on his face.

She must have received the letter he brought back, I don't know, does she miss him?

……

Steward Zhang rushed back to the capital with good news.

And long before Steward Zhang returned to the capital, Feng Zhige in the Anguo Mansion had already received a letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, Feng Zhige smiled slightly, when did Xiao Jingbei like to dig holes for people?

However, since it is digging a pit for the Zhou family, well, this can be had.

Not only can there be, Feng Zhige also plans to stir and stir again, and dig this pit deep for the Zhou family.

"Ah Wu, let people keep an eye on the Zhou family, as long as they find that someone from the Zhou family is sending something to Xiao Jingbei, they will all be robbed by me." Feng Zhige commanded.

Mama Li didn't know what Xiao Jingbei wrote on the letter, it was a secret letter between the master and Xiao Shizi, of course she wouldn't come up and be an eyesore without a face.

However, since the master ordered it so, it seems that it must be related to the Zhou family, and Mama Li ordered it as quickly as possible.

Let's talk about the Zhou family.

Zhou Tai, the head of the family, was relieved by the good news brought back by Steward Zhang.

Just looking at the emperor's appearance, you can see that this incident will definitely not be let go lightly, and those officials involved don't know how many heads they have to lose for this.

In fact, the Zhou family was not directly involved in stealing and selling official food, and the role they played was actually more like a protective umbrella.

Thinking about it, the case of stealing and selling official grain is so strict that those local officials alone can't hide it, let alone hide it for so many years.

And the Zhou family is one of them.

Zhou Tai originally didn't know that there was such a large-scale corruption operation in the Dawu Dynasty, so when the people below directly approached him and told him about it, he was shocked and couldn't help but feel afraid of the boldness of these people.

Zhou Tai was originally a person with little courage, so when he first heard this, his first reaction was to tell his emperor's nephew about such corruption, but later in the face of the heavy profits promised by that person, he couldn't help but snort and panted.

The Zhou family is the emperor's uncle's family, and the queen mother has always protected it, and the Zhou family is not short of money and power.

But the Zhou family is also a big family, even if there is no shortage of chewing, but the cost of the whole year is also a huge number, if it is not for the queen mother often subsidized over the years, and the emperor often rewards some in the face of the queen mother, relying on the Zhou family's father and son and those industries alone, there is really no way to maintain daily expenses.

Of course, it really made Zhou Tai diǎn head involved in the theft and sale of official grain. But it was because of the unspeakable ambition that Zhou Tai had always had in his heart.

If the crown prince doesn't have time to ascend the throne......

Although Zhou Tai has not dared to take action against this thought, he has not been able to completely dispel it.

If the Zhou family really has this great creation one day, at least, he can't be unable to operate because of a lack of silver, right?

Under such a mentality, Zhou Taiyi changed his usual caution and fiercely attacked the lobbyist.

Over the years, the silver that the Zhou family has obtained from the theft and sale of official grain is really not a small amount, but no matter how much silver. If you don't have a life, it's useless to spend it.

Zhou Tai is very aware of his grievances with Xiao Jingbei. So in order to impress Xiao Jingbei, he made such a temptation that in his opinion, no one would refuse.

The silver that he had been terrified for many years to get in his hands, and if he had to give up such half of his life, Zhou Tai's heartache was naturally self-evident. But for the sake of the family's lives. That's all he can do.

Just when Zhou Tai's heart was dripping with blood, he took out the hidden silver ticket from the secret pavilion of the study. Several brothers of the Zhou family walked in one after another.

The brothers of the Zhou family naturally knew their father's plans very clearly, and when they saw the thick stack of silver tickets in Zhou Tai's hand, the corners of the brothers' mouths twitched fiercely.

"Father. Are we really going to give up such a large sum of money to that little brute in Xiao Jingbei? ”

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Yuren still couldn't help but ask, and anyone could hear the unwillingness in his voice.

Although the other brothers of the Zhou family did not speak, the approval in their eyes was obvious.

Zhou Tai's hand holding the silver ticket tightened when he saw this, not to mention his sons, even if it was himself, such a large amount of silver to be sent out by himself, it was also a pain in his heart, this was the silver he got at the risk of risk, but now he wanted to give it to a yellow-mouthed child who had a bad relationship with the Zhou family!

However, now the case of stealing and selling official grain is being investigated by Xiao Jingbei, and after the investigation, it is very likely that it will be handed over to Xiao Jingbei, who is the Fusi of Weibei Town, Jinyi, to investigate, and the lives of his own family can be regarded as in Xiao Jingbei's hands.

"If not, what else can you think of?" Zhou Tai's tone was also full of depression.

He didn't want to compromise, but what could he do?

The brothers of the Zhou family were also suffocated.

If they could really come up with another way to solve this matter, how could they bow their heads to Xiao Jingbei?

In the end, Zhou Yuwen paced back and forth irritably, until the eyes of the other people were dazzled, and then he stopped and said viciously: "Father, even if we have to bow to Xiao Jingbei, why do we need to take out half of it?" With such a large sum of silver, Xiao Jingbei, a little beast, doesn't have so much even if he saves for a lifetime, right? ”

Zhou Yuwen's brothers are really unwilling, although these silvers are still in Zhou Tai's hands, but they also know that they will definitely be distributed to their brothers in the future, and now they see that their own silver is about to be lost, and the feeling in their hearts can be imagined.

Zhou Tai was also bored by Zhou Yuwen's words, and his face sank and said angrily: "Do you think I am willing to give away the silver to others?" If you don't give money, you will die, so would you rather have money than die? Who is Xiao Jingbei, do you think that our Zhou family has not offended him to death over the years, I think half of it is too much, and if you give it less, will he throw the silver ticket back directly? ”

The brothers of the Zhou family were suddenly silent.

No matter how much they feel sorry for the silver, they won't want to fill it with their lives.

Since this silver must be given, the brothers can only secretly comfort themselves in their hearts: this silver in exchange for the lives of their own families.

Thinking about it this way, although there is still reluctance in my heart, it is better to feel better.

At this time, the father and son of the Zhou family would not have thought that what made them more distressed was still to come.

After taking the silver ticket and putting it on, Zhou Tai handed the box to Steward Zhang in front of the brothers of the Zhou family, and instructed Steward Zhang to run again in person, send the silver ticket to Xiao Jingbei by hand, and be sure to let Xiao Jingbei make a note.

Steward Zhang responded cautiously, and then quickly arranged for someone to escort him and set off with the silver ticket.

However, not far from the capital, Steward Zhang and his party were knocked on a stick by a group of black-clothed masked people, and they fainted without knowing anything.

Steward Zhang didn't faint.

These silver tickets were to be sent to Xiao Jingbei, and now such a large amount of silver has been lost. If he sees the master, will the master tear him apart?

Besides, if he goes back to tell the master that he lost the silver ticket, will the master suspect that he is guarding and stealing it?

But Steward Zhang had to go back to see Zhou Tai, for a moment, he did have to just leave it alone, but his wife and children are all in the Chengen Mansion, if he leaves like this, his family may not survive.

Steward Zhang returned to the Chengen Mansion in a wolf manner, and Zhou Tai, who got the news, rolled his eyes and fainted as soon as he could.

It's no wonder that Zhou Tai has such a big reaction. This is not a small amount of money. And it was the life-saving silver of the Zhou family, so it was lost, no wonder Zhou Tai was stimulated and fainted.

Zhou Tai was dizzy, and the Chengen Mansion was in chaos. Especially the brothers of the Zhou family who know the truth. There is no silver left. What are they going to use to plug Xiao Jingbei's mouth?

Just thinking about it like this, the Zhou family brothers panicked, let alone thinking about how to deal with the follow-up of this matter. can only stand in front of Zhou Tai's bed, waiting for Zhou Tai to wake up and clean up the mess.

You will always wake up when you faint, so after Zhou Tai woke up, he didn't have time to feel sorry for the lost silver, so he had to reconsider how to deal with this matter.

Although there is almost no possibility of finding the silver if it is lost, but with such a large sum of silver, even if the probability of finding it is extremely low, it is impossible for Zhou Tai to give up completely like this.

Therefore, he sent someone to find out who was responsible for this matter, to see if it was possible to recover the lost silver, and then asked someone to negotiate with Xiao Jingbei to see if the conditions they negotiated could be changed again, for example, from the original half to two or three percent or something.

Xiao Jingbei was still a little surprised when he received the news from the Zhou family, but he only understood it when he learned that the silver sent by the Zhou family had been cut off halfway.

He didn't really plan to take the Zhou family's silver from the beginning, and the reason why he was dealing with the Zhou family was just to get the silver in his hands first, and then transfer it to Zhao Tiannan, so that he could take a good look at how much silver his good uncle had taken out of his treasury over the years.

Unexpectedly, Feng Zhige did much more ruthlessly than him.

There is no need to guess, Xiao Jingbei knows that the silver that was robbed of the Zhou family must be the hand of Feng Zhige.

Therefore, in the face of the people sent by the Zhou family to lobby, Xiao Jingbei didn't need to be faceless, and his body naturally exuded a cold air, "This matter is not negotiable, this prince agrees to accept the Zhou family's silver, but it is also a big risk, and he wants this son to do day work for the Zhou family?" It's not that easy. Besides, who knows if the silver ticket you said was truncated in the middle of the road is true or false, even if it is true, doesn't the Zhou family have the other half? ”

The people sent by the Zhou family were so uncomfortable that they wanted to argue with Xiao Jingbei, but Xiao Jingbei stopped listening to him at all, and finally had to return to the capital with a bitter face.

"Don't blame me for not reminding Cheng Engong, the case of stealing and selling official food is almost clear now, if I don't receive the silver when I return to Kyoto after investigating the case, then don't blame me for reporting the truth to the emperor one by one."

These were the last words left by Xiao Jingbei.

The man also truthfully conveyed this sentence to Zhou Tai and the brothers of the Zhou family.

Several members of the Zhou family were so angry because of Xiao Jingbei's arrogance that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, but no matter how angry they were, they all had to accept Xiao Jingbei's threat.

But if you really want them to be ruthless and give the remaining half with both hands, they are not reconciled.

"Father, otherwise, we will only give him 20%, anyway, Xiao Jingbei doesn't know how much we have profited from the theft and sale of official grain over the years." It was Zhou Yuwen who spoke.

He had long been dissatisfied with Zhou Tai's previous honest half of the profits, but Zhou Tai's attitude was still extremely tough, even if he was dissatisfied, he could only endure it for the sake of saving his life if he took out this money.

But now it's different, if Zhou Tai is still dizzy and really sends the remaining half to Xiao Jingbei, then won't their brothers be able to get anything in the future?

Compared with the profits from the theft and sale of official grain, the Zhou family's own sub-industry was too insignificant.

Zhou Tai was already so angry that his liver hurt, and when he heard Zhou Yuwen's words, he raised his hand and slapped him in the face, "You don't want to think about it, the people below are all in Xiao Jingbei's hands, can't he figure out how much we have taken?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Tai's eyes swept over his sons one by one, "You all think the same as him?" ”

The other brothers of the Zhou family were silent, Zhou Yuwen said his true thoughts and slapped him in the face, even if their thoughts were the same as Zhou Yuwen's, how could they be stupid enough to say it?

Seeing this, Zhou Tai suddenly felt an inexplicable tiredness in his heart.

His sons usually seem to be a little shrewd, but why are they so unbearable?

At this time, Zhou Tai was glad that Zhao Tiannan did not agree to pass on the heir from the Zhou family at the beginning, and he really wanted to get that kind of creation, with the skills of his sons, he was afraid that he would be swallowed by those old foxes in the court.

Thinking about this, Zhou Tai waved his hand weakly, "I, an old man who has half a foot in the coffin, doesn't care how many years I can live, even if this silver is spent, it is also buying your life, if you are reluctant, then keep the silver in your hands." ”

The brothers of the Zhou family were shocked when they heard this, they could sense that Zhou Tai was serious, if they said the word "no", they were afraid that Zhou Tai would really not give this money again.

How can this work?

The brothers of the Zhou family were shocked.

It's still the same old saying, no matter how good the silver is, you can't enjoy it if you don't have a life, and now that you have taken half of it out, if you can't keep your life, what's the point of pinching the other half?

So, the brothers hurriedly said with a smile: "Father, of course this matter is still done according to your wishes, in terms of long-term vision, where can we compare to our father." ”
