Chapter 185: Dense Drum
Especially this time, my eldest uncle took the initiative to ask for an order in front of the holy car and voluntarily took on the important task of cleaning up the deficit in the treasury, which was simply an unprecedented big thing, and everyone knew that most of the people who could borrow money in the treasury were princes and ministers.
Behind that one, there is an intricate network of relationships, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it affects the whole body, so in the past few months, even if this matter is the top priority in the capital, Cui Changjian admires the courage and courage of his eldest uncle.
In order to see if Cui Yongxin could recover the silver owed from these officials in the capital, the capital also opened a special gambling game, Cui Changjian didn't think about it at the time, so he bet on his uncle for a whole thousand taels of silver!
Fiercely supported Cui Yongxin, and now the treasury has finally recovered half of the arrears, although it is far from reaching the eighty percent that Cui Yongxin promised in front of the saint, but at least it is a good start, isn't it?
You know, Cui Yongxin is not stupid, he gave himself the time to come, but it was a whole year, and now it has only been four or five months, according to the current ratio, it is a good thing.
There are many people who praise Cui Yongxin outside, what kind of clean officials dare to pull out their teeth, and what kind of capable officials dare to rob corrupt officials of silver.
No matter what kind of praise it is, Cui Changjian feels that his face is full of face when he hears it, and he is very proud of his uncle.
With such thoughts, he was in front of Cui Yongxin, but he was much more restrained, and he had not yet let go in front of Ming Anhou.
Cui Yongxin looked at Cui Changjian with his head down, his expression was nervous, and he couldn't help but feel funny, he knew that Cui Changjian was betting a thousand taels of silver for himself in the gambling game, so he could guess a little bit of this child's mind.
He said with a smile: "Jian'er, you can say whatever you want in front of your uncle, you don't need to be restrained, you must know that in your uncle's heart, you and your eldest brother are in the same position, they are both my children, regardless of superiority." ”
When Cui Changjian heard this, he rarely felt excited, he was like a child, he was praised by his elders, and his face was red for a while, squeaky and squeaky, but he couldn't tell why.
Cui Wanqing secretly laughed at him, but she couldn't bear to see him like this, so she opened her mouth to help him out: "Third brother, it's better to take advantage of this gap and let the eldest uncle read Aunt Jiang's confession first, and save a delay for a while." ”
"Hey." Cui Changjian was reminded by Cui Wanqing, and then pulled out from the stunned state, he quickly took out Aunt Jiang's confession from his arms, and presented it to Cui Yongxin with both hands, "Uncle, this is a testimony about Aunt Yun's death, please take a look at it quietly." ”
Cui Yongxin was stunned when he heard this, "Aunt Yun, isn't the Aunt Yun in Jian'er's mouth the second brother and sister in front of you?" Cao Yunxiu? How could the cause of her death be strange? ”
With deep doubts, he reached out and took the not too thin pages in Cui Changjian's hand, even if he looked down, he was secretly shocked at a glance, the more he looked back, the more cold his heart surged.
Although he is the secretary of the household department, he can also talk with several adults in the ministry, and he has a small gathering of colleagues on weekdays, and he has heard some unjust cases and strange cases from the people of their ministry.
As a result, today, at this very moment, there was such a grievance in his family, and the deceased person was the ex-wife of his second brother, Cui Wanqing's mother sitting in front of him!
Cui Yongxin's eyes were full of disbelief, and the look on his face became more and more strict, and when he got to the back, he was actually a little annoyed and hateful.
When Cui Yongzhong entered the door, he saw his eldest brother, gritting his teeth, this is too unusual, his eldest brother is rarely angry, what's wrong today? What kind of thing does it have to make your brother angry like this?
He couldn't help but look at his son suspiciously, and asked secretly with his eyes, "What's wrong with your uncle?" ”
Who would have expected that his son, who has always had a tacit understanding with him, didn't give him any hints, but just stood up with his daughter and respectfully and strictly greeted himself.
"Sit down, you brothers and sisters, what's the matter? Why didn't you talk to your father first, but you came to bother your uncle? Don't you two know? Your eldest uncle has been busy with official business recently, and he has worked very hard," Cui Yongzhong did not finish his sour words.
I heard a 'pop' sound, and then I heard Cui Yongxin curse with hatred: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable!" Lang Lang Qiankun, under the bright daylight, how could this brute thing happen? It's actually in my home! ”
It turned out that Cui Yongxin was really angry, and slapped the bookcase hard!
After he said this, he immediately handed the paper in his hand to Cui Yongzhong, "Second brother, come and take a look." ”
He saw Cui Yongzhong take it, sat beside him and looked at it carefully, so he turned his head and asked Cui Changjian in a deep voice: "Jian'er, you have to know, this is not a joke, you only rely on the confession of one person, I am afraid it will be difficult to win the trust of others, what other evidence?" Let's just make it clear. ”
Cui Changjian nodded, "Uncle, my nephew can present this thing, naturally he is completely sure, and the human and material evidence is complete, but please don't worry, after my father reads it, my nephew will explain the details to the two of you." ”
Cui Yongxin knew that he was anxious and uneasy, this is a big deal, if he shows the news, his face will be stepped on into the sewage ditch!
He finally understood why Cui Changjian had the request just now, Cui Yongxin stood up suddenly, went out to find Cui Erbao, let him and Cui Yi check carefully, and saw if there were still people left in the yard.
Fu whispered in Cui Erbao's ear, "Go and call all the secret guards and surround this courtyard, not a single mosquito is allowed to fly out tonight." ”
Cui Erbao rarely saw his master so cautious, so he couldn't help but exchange a look with Cui Yi, and hurriedly responded, and hurriedly went to arrange it.
Cui Yongxin returned to the study, and saw Cui Yongzhong pointing at Cui Changjian's nose and asking, "When did you realize that something was wrong?" Why didn't you tell me and your uncle earlier? Do you know how much this matter has an impact on our Cui family? In case of an accident, our family will fall into the situation pointed out by Qianfu! ”
Cui Yongzhong never thought that what was waiting for him would be such a heart-piercing thing! This will really be a surge of black blood, and the angry face will be deformed, but it will be even more terrifying than Cui Yongxin's appearance just now.
"That's it! What are you angry at the athletes? He's a hero, how old is he this year? can do such a big thing by yourself, you are not proud of him, but blame the child, are you his own father? "Cui Yongxin can't get used to his younger brother, he has to take Lao Tzu's posture first for everything, such a good son, I really don't know how to cherish it.
If his own Hao'er could be as good as a Jian'er, he could be on his own, instead of walking around his wife's skirt, he would laugh out loud when he slept, "Second brother, you are really born in happiness and don't know how to be blessed." Cui Yongxin is really a little jealous of Cui Yongzhong at this point.
He waved his hand helplessly, and said to Cui Yongzhong: "Brother Wei knows that you will be angry, aggrieved, and embarrassed, but no matter how uncomfortable you are, bear with me, slow down, come, sit down first, let's listen to Jian'er explain this matter first, and it's not too late for you to get angry and scold after listening." ”
Cui Yongzhong was really speechless in the face of his brother's robbery, so he could only stomp his feet with hatred, glanced at Cui Changjian, and scolded: "Did you hear your uncle's words?" Why don't you tell us about it? ”
When Cui Changjian was just pointed at his nose and questioned, he stood neatly, this will see that his own Lao Tzu is angry, where do you dare to sit down?
So he just stood like this, and explained everything clearly, from beginning to end, without pulling it out.
During the period, it was naturally indispensable to talk about Cui Wanqing's contributions, but Cui Wanqing's ruthlessness in the cypress forest was automatically and spontaneously hidden by Cui Changjian, and it was replaced by his own words to force a confession.
He also had concerns in his heart, Cui Wanqing was a girl after all, and the less people knew about such a fierce demeanor, the better, so instinctively, he helped his little ninth sister cover up the past.
After saying this, it is really not short, Cui Changjian has been talking for more than half an hour, and the faces of Cui Yongxin's brothers have changed with his words, which is really ugly one by one.
Especially Cui Yongzhong, a face is blue and white for a while, it has changed countless times, Cui Wanqing sat upright next to her, listening quietly with a well-behaved appearance, but every time she secretly glanced at her father, she was afraid that this angry person would vomit blood.
During this period, Cui Yongzhong couldn't help but slap the table several times, stomped his feet and wanted to ask questions, but everyone stood up, but Cui Yongxin stretched out his hand to stop him, and he was not allowed to interrupt Cui Changjian's narration, which really almost suffocated Cui Yongzhong half to death.
But who made Cui Yongxin, the majesty of being an elder brother, very heavy? When he was young, he was subdued, and Cui Yongzhong could only endure his anger and sit down again, even if he was in a hurry
It wasn't until Cui Changjian finished speaking that Cui Yongxin said to Cui Changjian in a heavy tone: "Jian'er sits down and takes a breath first, so many things, it is really difficult for you to finish talking without a breath." ”
Cui Changjian saluted at the two elders in front of him, hugged his fists, and as soon as he sat down, he saw Cui Wanqing silently serving a cup of warm tea, his eyes were full of comfort, he quickly curled the corners of his mouth at his ninth sister, and then took the tea cup and drank it all.
