Chapter 188: Closing the Palace

"Don't try it, that box should be made of a mixture of medicinal materials, in a short time, I'm afraid I won't be able to try it. Moreover, there are tens of millions of medicinal materials with similar smells in the world? The so-called difference is a thousand miles. With this time, it is better for the retainers to earn more money and cultivate a group of loyal subordinates. ”

Xu Zhao smiled and didn't say anything more.

After leaving Xu's study and returning to the palace, Xu Zhilan told Lan Keqing about the increase in fiefdoms, and instructed her to send someone back to Yangtao County, so that Xi'er could take over the land of the new five counties and pay attention to safety.

Lan Keqing took Xiang'er and rode a tall horse to Jieshen Lane, which was only three streets away.

"The plaque of King Qin's Mansion has not been hung up, and it will soon become the other courtyard of King Yangtao, hehe!" Xiang'er said that she was behind and smiled coquettishly.

Lan Keqing also laughed and said: "Xiang'er, there are now four kings of the Dahua Dynasty, our Yangtao King has a unique fief, there are two palaces, and there is a Yangtao Palace comparable to the East Palace, the other kings should be very depressed, right?" ”

Xiang'er smiled and nodded, and instructed her subordinates to negotiate with the guards of the Qin Palace.

At this time, Xu Zhiyuan was discussing with Su Rui and others about the affairs of the palace officials and the house.

Su Rui suggested that the small court of the palace should not do it for the first time, lest Xu Zhilan talk about things again and laugh at the officials of the Qin Palace, who only bear an empty title, and they can't even afford to pay it! If he slapped his swollen face and made a fortune, Xu Zhilan would definitely come to check Xu Zhiyuan's financial situation immediately, adding unnecessary trouble for no reason. Everyone continues to be a staff member, no official seal, no leader!

Secondly, Su Rui suggested that Xu Zhiyuan immediately hand over the Qin Wangfu to Xu Zhilan, for the following reasons: no matter how much silver Xu Zhiyuan had on him, after this morning, he would be at most 200,000 taels and a fraction of the middle, and all the 200,000 taels would be given to Xu Zhilan; Ruoxu Zhiyuan continued to live in the Qin Palace, making exquisite and imposing plaques, raising more than 100 people, which cost a lot of money! Simply be generous, express confidence in Xu Zhilan's negotiation ability, and give the house to Xu Zhilan first, at least within a month of Xu Zhilan's return to and from Jingyang Kingdom to negotiate, the maintenance cost of the Qin Wangfu and the food expenses of more than 100 people will be counted on Xu Zhilan's head. The negotiation is successful, and the house is a good thing; If the negotiation is unsuccessful, just get it back!

The so-called penny is difficult to defeat the hero, although he is very aggrieved, Xu Zhiyuan is also helpless! He had no choice but to say that he had wronged everyone first, and when he ascended the throne of the emperor in the future, he would reward everyone present.

As he was talking, the next person came to report that the head of the Yangtao Mansion asked to see him.

After seeing the ceremony, Lan Keqing didn't even take a sip of tea and directly stated his intentions: "King Qin, King Yangtao is in a hurry to go to Jingyang Kingdom to settle the matter of compensation, I wonder if King Qin has prepared a silver ticket?" ”

Xu Zhiyuan reluctantly ordered Su Rui to hand a brocade box to Lan Keqing.

"Xiang'er, count carefully, don't be mistaken, if one or two are missing, King Yangtao will be deducted from our Yulu!" Lan Keqing pretended to be worried.

Isn't that a slap in the face? Xu Zhiyuan's face turned green when he heard this!

"Yes, Mr. Qing!" Xiang'er took the brocade box, took out the silver ticket, and counted it.

One thousand, 200,000 taels can't be counted for long, but Xiang'er is serious, one by one, one by one, to verify the authenticity, and then placed separately and counted!

Every time Xiang'er ordered one, Xu Zhiyuan felt that Xu Zhilan was slapped in the face! He couldn't stay any longer, so he let out a heavy "snort" and got up and left the hall.

Xiao Jinfeng couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "I'm dignified Qin Wangfu, can I use fake silver tickets?" Will there be less of your Yangtao King's silver? ”

"General Xiao, the transactions between the peddlers and pawns have to check the authenticity of the silver tickets, right? Xiang'er checked the authenticity of the silver ticket, is it wrong? This matter is reported to the emperor, and we are all in charge! Besides, your Qin Wangfu is worthy of our Yangtao King's trust? You, King Qin, have framed our King Yangtao twice! If those of us don't do a good job......"

Su Rui hurriedly interrupted Lan Keqing's words and hurriedly said, "The past is all a misunderstanding. After explaining clearly in the court, King Qin was very appreciative of King Yangtao's character and ability. No, we are preparing to give the title deed of the Qin Wangfu to the King of Yangtao first, and since the governor is here, let's take it back with us. ”

"However, King Yangtao and Lord Toya haven't negotiated yet, in case the negotiation fails, I will have to pay it back at that time, how troublesome is it?" Lan Keqing said this deliberately.

"Liu Mei'er is the concubine of your Yangtao King, and your own family will definitely succeed in negotiating!" Su Rui said sarcastically, he seriously suspected that Xu Zhilan and Liu Mei'er had joined forces to pit the King of Qin, but there was no evidence and could not refute it. But it's okay to be sarcastic, get over it, and vent it.

Lan Keqing pretended not to understand and said, "Since Su Cheng is so confident in King Yangtao, then let's take the title deed back first." ”

"I'm just a grass people, not a prime minister!" After speaking, Su Rui turned around and left the hall, and after half a pillar of incense, it was estimated that Xiang'er would come back after checking the silver ticket.

Lan Keqing took the title deed of the Qin Palace, checked the authenticity, and stuffed it into his arms.

According to the discussion, Xiang'er said: "Chief Qing, the king of Yangtao often says that she already has the Yangtao Palace, and the Yangtao Palaces in Jinling have a big gang of subordinates, which is a waste of silver, if it weren't for the sake of face, she would even want to sell the Yangtao Palace." You are now in charge of King Yangtao, and you have received the title deed of King Qin first, although this is a matter of time, but King Yangtao has to raise this group of subordinates for a month, I don't know if King Yangtao will deduct your money? ”

"This month, is King Qin still living? The subordinate is also the king of Qin, so it is impossible for our king Yangtao to give out silver, right? Lan Keqing deliberately sarcastically mocked Xu Zhiyuan, because he was going to lead troops to exterminate Tiger Roaring Heights the day after tomorrow, and he didn't have time to live at all.

Su Rui was so angry that he couldn't do it, but he couldn't attack yet, calmed his breath, and said with a smile: "The land deeds are all given to King Yangtao, and our King Qin will naturally not live here anymore, people, if you don't need it, just dismiss!" ”

Lan Keqing was waiting for this sentence, and immediately ordered Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, you go out now to inform the people, just say that King Qin has lost the house to King Yangtao, and King Yangtao can't use it, and he doesn't raise idlers, so please leave!" Give each of them five taels of silver, and don't starve them. ”

Su Rui wanted to say something, but it was inconvenient to speak. Although the name of gambling is ugly, it is ten thousand times stronger than telling the truth and letting the people of the world know that King Qin is a traitor, right? He also understands that it can't be said that King Qin sold the palace to King Yangtao now, first, no one believes that a newly crowned king is so poor that he has to sell the house given by the emperor; Take 10,000 steps back, even if the people believe it, they will definitely have money after selling, and if they have money, they will have to buy a decent mansion with the specifications of the palace, and when the time comes, where will King Qin get the money to buy the palace?
