There must be "businessmen" behind the "official", some are their own family industry, and some accept the exchange of power and money, I use my power to help you get through the relationship or keep you safe, you give me money.

The magnates and officials in the Tang Dynasty today are probably in these two states, and there are not no Qing officials, but there are very few. There are also clear streams in the court, but the clear streams are aimed at others, and many righteous and awe-inspiring clear streams in the court will not be less bribes after returning home.

The Zhang family belongs to the kind of family business in the family.

The three brothers Zhang Jiuling are all prominent high-ranking officials in the DPRK, and the most uncompetitive third Zhang Jiugao is also the history of Guangzhou Thorn. The Zhang family's family business has existed for many years, and after Zhang Jiuling's death, the property of the big house was inherited and managed by his only son, Zhang Zheng.

Zhang Zheng is obviously not a material for business, officials cannot directly participate in business, and if he says it, he will not only be impeached by the imperial history, but also his reputation will be stinky in the officialdom, and it will be difficult to be promoted in the future.

So Zhang Zheng, like most officials doing business, entrusted the property to his distant relatives.

Judging from the truth that Hao Donglai inquired, this distant relative of the Zhang family did not seem to be angry, and he smashed the Zhang family's business.

Originally, it had nothing to do with Gu Qing, but Zhang Huaiyu was Zhang Zheng's daughter after all, and Gu Qing had a hunch that this matter might eventually have something to do with him.

"What did that distant relative do?" Gu Qing stroked his belly and said. After eliminating the trouble of constipation, his mood at the moment is as smooth as his intestines.

Hao Donglai said in a low voice: "There are too many unsightly means for businessmen, and the ridiculous thing is that the distant relatives of the Zhang family even use unscrupulous means to be extremely inferior, and the three silk shops are not doing well, he actually united several shops to conspire to dump at a lower price, and secretly robbed the regular customers of other Hu merchants, and never thought that he would grab the head of the Du family without a long eye......"

Gu Qing was puzzled: "Which Du family?" ”

"Puyang Du Shi, the third son of Dali Sizhi Du Hongji, Du Feng."

Gu Qing smiled, once the Tang Dynasty talks about someone, the name is preceded by the name of the place, and then the so-and-so clan, then most of them are families, after Wu Zetian, the power of the family of Datang has been weakened a lot, but it is only weakened, not eliminated, and the power of the family in the Tang Dynasty is still not small, and the court still has a very important right to speak.

"So, the distant relatives of the Zhang family provoked the family?"

"Yes, this is just the beginning, in fact, Du Hong is a good official, and he is deeply respected by the East Palace, but his third son Du Feng is not a good stubble, this person is young and flamboyant, because he dares to fight and rob, he has also made a lot of profits by taking care of the property under the name of the Du family. The distant relatives of the Zhang family actually robbed the important Hu businessmen of the Du family's silk shop, and with Du Feng's person, how could he give up? ”

"However, Zhang Zheng is a descendant of the virtuous prime minister, and his wife is from the Xie family of Chen County, Du Feng is afraid of his father Du Hong's reputation in the officialdom, so he made a trick, he found a few notorious pimply characters to go to Yique County, and tried to get acquainted with Zhang Zheng's son Zhang Huaixing, and then lured Zhang Huaisheng into the Qinglou, and then cooperated with a girl in the Qinglou, and Zhang Huaisheng was fascinated, and used this hookup to defraud Zhang Huaixing of a lot of money......"

"Not only that, they also tricked Zhang Huai Province into gambling money, after setting up the bureau in advance, Zhang Huai Province lost a lot of money before and after, and even owed a lot of money to those splashes, as a last resort, Zhang Huai Province quietly mortgaged the three silk shops under the name of the Zhang family, these three silk shops are the main source of income for Zhang Zheng's family, until Du Feng took over the three stores in Chang'an, Zhang Zheng found out that the loser broke into the disaster, so he hurried to Chang'an with his wife to settle the matter......"

Gu Qing was stunned, and then smiled.

It's prostitution again, it's gambling again, and hundreds of millions of family properties can't stand the toss, not to mention that Zhang Zheng is just a county order, and his family is not rich, if he doesn't go back to the three stores this time, Zhang Zheng's family can really only count on the meager fortune of the imperial court to live.

Zhang Zheng and his wife have been patriarchal over the years, and finally gave birth to a son, or from the main room, and as a result, they gave birth to such a thing, which is a son, it is clearly a creditor who traveled to this life to collect debts in the past life, Gu Qing really felt worthless for Zhang Huaiyu.

Hao Donglai saw Gu Qing's calm expression, so he said softly: "Master Hou, the Zhang family is probably such a thing, the villain who should inquire has inquired, does Master Hou want to help the Zhang family settle this matter next?" ”

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I help the Zhang family?" Why should I help the Zhang family? The second uncle Honglu Siqing didn't make a move, obviously Zhang Zheng's family is not treated well in the Zhang family, what did I do as an outsider for no reason? ”

Hao Donglai was stunned and said, "But ...... After all, he is the father of Miss Huaiyu, if the Hou Ye wants to propose marriage to Zhang Xianling and take the initiative to help him solve this matter, maybe it will be logical to propose marriage......"

Gu Qing shook his head: "Huaiyu is Huaiyu, and the Zhang family is the Zhang family, two different things." If Huaiyu takes the initiative to talk to me, I will definitely help without hesitation, Huaiyu is silent, no one can say that it is useless, why should I take the initiative to provoke the Du family? Do you think I'm so fond of provoking the rich? ”

Hao Dong came to think about it, and laughed dryly.

Gu Qing sighed: "Two, I may be transferred out of Chang'an in a few days, and Chang'an's industry will depend on you to take care of it, if you have any problems, you can ask Zhang Siqing, Li Guangbi and Li Twelve Niang for help, with the three of them here, there will definitely be no big mess......"

The two shopkeepers looked at him in shock, digesting the news with a blank expression, and didn't say anything for a while.

"Master Hou...... Will you be transferred out of Chang'an? When? Shi Daxing said in astonishment.

"Let's go in a few days, the official will will probably come down in a few days, and I will set off after the will is down, most likely to the four towns of Anxi."

Hao Donglai was puzzled: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly transfer the Hou Ye out of Chang'an?" Could it be...... Relegation? ”

Gu Qing said with a smile: "It's depreciating, in fact, it may be more appropriate to call it 'experience', Your Majesty wants to reuse me, I have been made a marquis at this age, but I don't have enough qualifications, the government and the opposition will inevitably have criticism, go to Anxi to accumulate some experience, if you are lucky, maybe you can make a great contribution, then my young marquis will be justified." ”

"Hou Ye, can Hou Ye not go?" Hao Donglai reluctantly cried and said with a sad face: "We are reluctant to Hou Ye, if you leave Chang'an, we have no bottom in our hearts, I have seen it for more than a year, Chang'an City Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, if there is no backer, it is difficult to move an inch, Hou Ye is our backer, and the backer can't go......"

Gu Qing sighed melancholy: "The backer can't even, I'm not worthy of being your backer, I'm no longer perfect in your hearts......"

…………

The days of waiting for the decree were quite torturous, like the feeling that the executioner's knife hung from his neck and did not fall after he had been sentenced, and it was very worrying.

Now that he has decided to go to the four towns of Anxi, Gu Qing feels that he should do his homework in advance, and he will be confused after getting Anxi, and others will fool him as a fool.

After thinking about it, Gu Qing decided to ask Zhang Jiuzhang.

Zhang Jiuzhang is Honglu Siqing, in charge of foreigners. The grievances and hatreds between the Tang Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions over the years and the current situation of the Anxi Protectorate, Zhang Jiuzhang must know a lot.

The most important thing is that he misses Zhang Huaiyu.

Work and love are not wrong, with such a high emotional intelligence, Gu Qing feels that he can't be a straight man.

There is no need to report when you come to the door, Gu Qing is already the Zhang family's own family.

Bypassing the front hall from the front yard, Gu Qing went straight to the backyard.

On the swing frame in the backyard, Zhang Huaiyu was sitting on it reading quietly, her side face under the sunlight was half bright and half dark, so clear that even the faint fur on her face could be seen clearly.

Seeing Gu Qing coming, Zhang Huaiyu put down the book and asked curiously, "Why are you here today?" ”

Gu Qing said resentfully: "You didn't take the initiative to look for me when you came to Chang'an, so I had to be cheeky and take the initiative to come to you......"

Zhang Huaiyu smiled: "You're here to find me?" ”

Gu Qing said with a straight face: "What is the point of falling in love?" Of course, it's 'talking' and 'talking', you can't even see each other, how can you talk about love? ”

Zhang Huaiyu's face turned red and said angrily: "You can always burst out of your mouth with these strange words, and your mouth is full of impropriety." ”

Gu Qing said solemnly: "Then, let's officially start talking about love." ”

Zhang Huaiyu sneered, waved his hand and said: "Don't tease me, your serious appearance makes me feel as if you are killing generals and capturing the flag in front of the three armies, what does it have to do with love." ”

Gu Qing suddenly remembered something and said, "Last time in Shiqiao Village, you didn't seem to be very satisfied with the love token I gave you?" ”

Zhang Huaiyu's face suddenly turned cold, and he snorted: "You are embarrassed to say, I have never heard that someone sent a love token to send a silver cake, where is this 'love', it is obviously a 'deposit'......"

Gu Qing sighed: "Isn't it very affordable to send silver cakes?" It is both valuable and valuable, it can be used to replace food and clothing when it is difficult, and it can be used to see things and think about people when it is peaceful, and it can even be thrown out as a weapon to smash the bad guy's dog head when it is in danger, which is simply a must-have for home travel and killing......"

Zhang Huaiyu laughed, the way she looked when she laughed was a bit similar to Zhang Huaijin, but Gu Qing rarely saw her laugh so heartily.

After laughing for a long time, Zhang Huaiyu finally calmed down and said, "What do you mean by suddenly asking the love token?" Are you short of money? ”

"Oh, that's right, because your taste is very poor, and you are not satisfied with the promise token I sent, I decided to change the promise token and send it again...... This time I promise to be tasteful and meaningful, twenty times more valuable than the silver cake last time, Zhang Huaiyu, congratulations, you are going to make a fortune. ”

Zhang Huaiyu wanted to laugh again, and then suddenly reacted, and his pretty face suddenly cold: "Don't tell me that you plan to send twenty silver cakes as a token of love, I will use the silver cake to smash your dog's head." ”

Gu Qing froze for a moment, blinking quickly.

This woman is really much smarter than Zhang Huaijin, it's not easy to fool.

Gu Qing counted that a box of silver cakes was exactly twenty yuan.

Seeing Gu Qing's hesitation, Zhang Huaiyu's eyes widened in surprise, and then he was furious: "The surname Gu, are you crazy?" Are you really planning to send twenty pieces of silver cake as a token of love? ”

"I can exchange it for gold ...... of equal value," Gu Qing said calmly.
