Chen Xiao collected the account from the Yelan County Lord in public, which made the Yelan County Lord embarrassed all of a sudden.

So many people are watching, you say I owe a hundred taels, and I want it now?

This Nima is very shameless.

Everyone else was stunned and watched this scene.

Lord Yelan coughed and said, "Uh...... That one...... Is there such a thing? Didn't you? ”

She winked at Chen Xiao and motioned for Chen Xiao to talk privately.

Chen Xiao misunderstood and said, "County Lord, aren't you?" For a hundred taels of silver, you can't squeeze your eyebrows and seduce me, so you can't ha! ”

Lord Yelan's face turned red instantly, and she thought to herself, Chen Xiao, what kind of understanding ability do you have? Haven't you learned to interpret expressions? That's seducing you, huh?

"Ahem, this ...... Let's talk ...... private," said Lord Nightblue.

Chen Xiao panicked: "Why do you have to do it in private?" You know about me and Jiu'er, I can't have anything to do with you in private, let's solve this matter in public, don't do it privately.

Besides, you can't just do it for a hundred taels, right? Not really...... I'll put it on for you? A hundred taels is not much, and discipline is more important! ”

The Lord of Night Blue was crazy, thinking to himself that you not only misunderstood, but also over-interpreted......

Gritting his teeth, the Lord of Yelan said, "I have borrowed money from the Ministry of Households?" Didn't you? If you don't have this thing, why don't you talk alone later, and everyone will have dinner now! ”

Chen Xiao looked serious: "That's not good, listen to what you mean, you don't really want to admit it?" Now that there are many people, I will show you the account book, so that you will not be fooled and you will not admit the account alone......"

As he spoke, Chen Xiao opened the account book and muttered, "It shouldn't be...... The dignified county lord, only a hundred taels, why are you still playing Laipi? This character is not bad......"

Lord Nightblue's face darkened, and he took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger and embarrassment.

At this time, Chen Xiao found the page of the Lord of Yelan and said: "

You see, this is not clearly written, in the first two years, you borrowed one hundred taels from the household department, and it has not been changed so far. This can't be denied, in black and white. If you don't have any money, I'll help you pay for it, but you have to admit it! ”

Hearing this, the Lord of Night Blue was almost mad.

Good guy, the only face he has has been trampled on by Chen Xiao in public.

Between them, she took a deep breath and said to Chen Xiao angrily:

"The county lord is not short of money, you wait!"

As she spoke, she asked the frightening man to take a few hundred taels of silver.

After handing it over to Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao smiled: "You see that you are not short of money, what are you doing with it......

The Lord of Night Blue pouted: "Forgot!" ”

Chen Xiao nodded: "Okay, you said that you, and you are not short of money, what are you doing borrowing money from the household department?" ”

Lord Yelan said, "At that time, I heard that everyone was borrowing money from the household department, and I thought it was fun to borrow it, so I borrowed a hundred taels ......."

Chen Xiao was speechless: "Okay, you are the third type of person, an idle egg pain type......"

"Egg pain? Where? Lord Yelan asked.

"Eh, you don't have an ......," Chen Xiao smiled.

So saying, he got up and said, "When it's over, I won't stay any longer, and I'm gone!" ”

"In such a hurry? Play a little longer? After all, I'm probably not the only one here who borrowed money, right? Lord Yelan said deliberately.

She can't be embarrassed alone!

Chen Xiao was stunned: "Really?" Guys, do you still have any money borrowed from the household department? ”

At the moment, the prince of Pingyang was embarrassed.

Chen Xiao looked at the accounts: "Huh? The prince of Binh Duong? ”

Pingyang Wang Shizi's face turned red, and he got up and took out two hundred taels of silver: "Take it...... I just thought it was fun......

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and looked again: "Who else?" Or did your father's family borrow money from the household? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and some didn't admit it.

Chen Xiao didn't want to ask one by one, so he put away the account book and said:

"Since there is no more, then it will be fine, the official has to go to another place to collect the debt, so I won't stay here longer, goodbye everyone!"

With that, he got up and said goodbye and left the Chengwang Mansion.

"My lord, you have received it all, amazing!" The little official was excited.

Chen Xiao smiled faintly: "It's nothing, let's take a look...... Hey? Ministry of Rites? Borrow 2,000 taels? ”

"My lord, this Ministry of Rites is really ......poor," the little official said.

Another small official nodded: "The Ministry of Rites is a very clear yamen, and it is responsible for some etiquette, rules and regulations, sacrifices, schools, imperial examinations and other things on weekdays, there is almost no oil and water, and the power is not very large, and no one bribes, so the Ministry of Rites is basically a poor official!" ”

"That account has to be collected, two thousand taels is not a small amount!" Chen Xiao said.

So, Chen Xiao took people and went to the Ministry of Rites.

This etiquette department has many rules, after all, it is in charge of etiquette, and the officials guarding the door are very polite.

After going to report, Chen Xiao entered and was taken to the hall!

Shangshu was drinking tea, and there was a waiter next to him, Chen Xiao knew him, and during the imperial examination, this waiter surnamed Lu also had a kind reminder to Chen Xiao!

After Chen Xiao came, he gave his hand: "The head of the Ministry of Finance of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I have seen the two adults of Shangshu Shilang......

"Don't be polite, I don't know what happened to Master Chen, so what?" Shang Shu spoke.

He was a little thin, very old, in his sixties, and had the air of a literati.

"Uh...... Xiaguan was recently ordered by the Household Department Shoshu to borrow money from all the adults in the Household Department...... Accounts receivable! Chen Xiao said.

As soon as he heard this, the upright body of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu collapsed in an instant.

"It's... This...... Accounts receivable...... This ......" Lao Shangshu looked embarrassed and embarrassed, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he understands these things most about benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith.

If you don't pay back the money, it's rude and untrustworthy, and it's too embarrassing for people like them.

But life is forced to do it, no money?

"That...... Director Chen, it's not the official Laipi, it's really ...... It's really destitute...... Poor......" Lao Shangshu blushed.

Chen Xiao said: "But...... If you don't pay back this money, it's not easy for the household department to explain it? Lord Shangshu, do you think there is anything you can sell at home, and you have sold it? ”

Lao Shangshu blushed and said: "There is only a house at home, there is no place to live after it is sold, and there are 100 acres of land, and this 100 acres of land has a salt pond, but it is just ...... The salt that comes out is not good...... Therefore, this land is not good land, and no good salt can be made, and no one wants to sell it. ”

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, a hundred acres of land, there is a salt pond? Salt now, can it be called salt? It's bitter, astringent and unpalatable, and if you eat too much, you'll die.

As a modern person, he knows some physical chemistry, how can he not understand salt making?

So, he excitedly said to Lao Shangshu: "You sell me this hundred acres of land, and I will give you two thousand taels of silver!" ”

"Really?" Lao Shangshu's eyes lit up and he became excited.

Chen Xiao and Lao Shangshu talked for a long time, and after deciding on it, they left happily.

If you can use the salt pond to make good salt, just two thousand taels, it's a hammer!

Chen Xiao is very happy, but he has to do business.

He looked at the accounts again and said, "The Seventh Prince, Long Shengge, borrowed fifty taels of money...... Nima, it's embarrassing to borrow such a little, and the whole Lao Tzu went to the palace to ask you for ...... Forget it, take a look at Jiu'er by the way......"
