You must know that Wanli was originally an out-and-out miser, he only likes to put the silver in the warehouse, and whenever he gets angry, he goes to count the silver, and his mood will be much better.

It was Guo Dan's appearance that made him change slightly, and he agreed with the truth that silver gives birth to silver, but his nature has not changed, it is his habit of accumulating money.

This silver is his scales.

threw out 50,000 taels this time, but it really took his own life!

Wanli has shown a state of rage.

"If you are guilty of lowly duties, please punish Your Majesty."

Guo Dan hurriedly bowed his head and confessed.

"You...!" Wanli pointed at Guo Dan, he loved and hated in his heart, this kid made money hard enough, but he spent money even harder, 50,000 taels of money was gone, you are really from Chrysostom, and said: "You get up first, explain this matter clearly, and then confess later." ”

This contains the meaning of threat, if you can't say it clearly, I still have to blame you, you don't think my money is not money.

When Guo Dan stood up, he immediately asked, "You... If you want to donate 50,000 taels, you must at least ask me first. ”

Guo Dan just looked at Zhang Cheng, he told Zhang Cheng yesterday that it would cost tens of thousands of taels to settle it.

Zhang Cheng looked innocent, of course he reported Wanli.

Wanli glanced at Zhang Cheng and frowned: "The minister did tell me yesterday that you would spend tens of thousands of taels to settle this matter, but I didn't expect that you just wanted to donate it, so you can donate less money, and there is no need to donate 50,000 taels." ”

Guo Dan replied: "Your Majesty, compared to the money they asked us to compensate, this 50,000 taels is already very small, and I think it is very worthwhile to spend this money to keep Marseille and keep Marseille at the same time." ”

"Don't you have trust if you donate 10,000 taels? Do you have any proof for this amount? Wanli asked.

Credentials are to throw a lot of money, and this kind of thing is based on experience. Guo Dan said: "Back to Your Majesty, this money is a little more, but this can quickly calm down the anger of the people, if it continues for a long time, it will be very bad for us." ”

"There's just no credentials."

Wanli said: "I see that I can donate a little less, just donate 10,000 taels, this 10,000 taels is a lot." ”

As soon as it comes to money, the emperor immediately transforms into a childish fat house, and I am especially drunk. Guo Dan almost laughed and said, "Your Majesty, all the words of despicable duty have already been said, and now it is reversed, which will only make the situation more serious." ”

Wanli thought for a little and said, "That's it, the rest of the 40,000 taels, you can figure out a way by yourself, and Jiang Feng is too... It's also a ...... for you. ”

The implication is that this is a grudge between you, and there is no reason for me to pay for it.

I'll pay to keep your inheritance, why don't you die? Guo Dan sneered: "Your Majesty, if this happens to the lowly duty in Beijing, then the lowly duty will naturally be fully undertaken, but the lowly duty was not in the capital at that time, and before the lowly post left, His Majesty had reassured the lowly post that nothing would happen at home." ”

Wanli said excitedly: "What do you mean, I didn't do a good job?" ”

"I don't dare."

Guo Dan said aggrievedly: "I also want to help Your Majesty share the burden, but... But the humble position can't come up with the money, not to mention that there is no money now, even if there is, it is everyone's, I can't move, that Yinuoya is a joint-stock system, and the surname is Kou, not the surname Guo, the humble position is a tool man, no, do the work. ”

Wanli understood that this kid was just unwilling to pay, so he was so angry that he slapped the fat on the chair, gasping for breath, and his eyes were moist.

Wanwan is really aggrieved.

Zhang Cheng was really afraid that Wanli would be angry, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, this is not afraid that there will be no firewood to burn, Marseille will earn money from the ground, and 50,000 taels of Marseille will be earned." ”

Wanli glanced at Zhang Cheng, in fact, when Zhang Cheng told him yesterday, he agreed, and at that time he also wanted to keep Guo Dan and Marseille at all costs, but he didn't expect that Guo Dan still had a hand, which cost 50,000 taels, he was very distressed and sad, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it was not easy to make some money.

"I'm not stingy with this money, I just feel that this money is wronged, which is really unreasonable."

Wanli was so angry that he slapped the table, if he wanted to say that he had made a mistake and took money to eliminate the disaster, although he wouldn't admit it, he felt a little better, but a little fart let him out of 50,000 taels, how could he bear this breath, and suddenly pointed at Guo Dan and said: "I heard that you said at the racetrack that there are still people behind the scenes, is it true?" ”

Guo said lightly: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the humble post has just arrived in the capital, and it is not clear at all. ”

Wanli wondered: "If you don't know, why did you make two preparations in the matter of cotton armor, is it that the other party is too big, you dare not say, if you have a suspicious object, you tell me, I will raid his home." ”

He's really angry, don't talk about evidence, just don't have it.

There's no need to be so violent. Guo Dan said: "The lowly post made two-handed preparations at that time, because the lowly post knew that the lowly post would contract this business would affect the interests of many people, and the lowly post was afraid of accidents, so he made two-handed preparations." ”

Speaking of this, he changed his words and said, "But Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated, because as far as the lowly officials know, there are many people behind who are pushing everyone to come to Marseille for trouble, and these people must be deterred." ”

"I don't need to say it, I'll investigate it too."

Wanli snorted angrily, waved his hand again, and said, "You should retire first." ”

"Retire from your duties."

After Guo Dan left, Wanli gradually calmed down, and suddenly asked Zhang Cheng: "Minister, do you say that there is anyone behind this matter?" ”

Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but judging from the current investigation, there should be none." ”

Wanli was silent for a while, and said, "Immediately summon the factory minister to the palace." ”

Half an hour later, Zhang Whale quickly came to the Qianqing Palace.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

"Hurry up and excuse me."

Wanli asked with a smile: "The factory minister should have also gone to the racecourse before, right?" ”

Zhang Whale said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen will go with the Prime Minister." ”

Wanli nodded and said: "I think what Guo Dan said is not unreasonable, there may be someone behind this matter, I now order you Dongchang to also join the investigation of this case, if there is really someone behind this, I must find out." ”

"Wechen takes orders."

Wanli said: "In addition, I know that there are many people who want to take advantage of the Marseille incident to find trouble with Guo Dan, you go and catch one or two for me, I will kill chickens and monkeys this time, if I endure it any longer, they will have to ride on my head." ”

"Wechen obeys."

"Go ahead and do it."

"Wechen retired."

"Wait."

Wanli suddenly stopped Zhang Whale again and asked, "Regarding Li Shouqi's fake race, is this really not illegal?" ”

Zhang Whale hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it's really hard to say about this matter, but as far as this matter is concerned, it can only be said that it is against morality, and it should not be considered illegal." ”

"Really?" Wanli sneered: "If I say it's illegal, is it illegal?" ”

"That's against the law, of course." Zhang Whale nodded repeatedly.

"That's okay, you go and tell Uncle Xiangcheng, let him immediately return the 10,000 taels to Marseille, and take the initiative to pay a fine of 5,000 taels, otherwise if you get it, I will hold Li Shouqi responsible."

Who is Wanli, a super scoundrel, if you have nothing to do, you will blackmail the minister, you still cheat his money, if he doesn't give you a layer of skin, then it is not called Wanli.

"Wechen knows."

"Go ahead and do it."

After Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng retreated, Wanli was silent for a while, and suddenly said to Li Gui: "You secretly sent someone to keep an eye on this matter. ”

A strange look flashed in Li Gui's eyes, and he immediately said, "The slave obeys." ”

At this moment, a eunuch at the door said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is invited." ”

....．

Cining Palace.

"The son asks the Queen Mother for peace."

"The emperor doesn't need to be polite."

Empress Dowager Li stretched out her hand slightly and said, "Emperor, please take a seat." ”

After Wanli sat down, Empress Dowager Li asked, "I just heard that the emperor summoned Guo Dan. ”

Wanli was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Erchen just met Guo Dan." ”

Empress Dowager Li smiled: "Did the emperor ask him about the situation of Weihui Mansion?" ”

She didn't want to interfere in government affairs, she just cared about King Lu's affairs.

But Wanli was confused, he only talked about one thing, that is, --- money.

Weihui Mansion?

He didn't think about it.

What an embarrassment!

.....

The Kou family.

"Haha! The old man knew that when the virtuous son-in-law came out, there was nothing to worry about. ”

When Kou Shouxin saw Guo Dan, he couldn't help but smile happily.

Guo smiled lightly: "My father-in-law has won the award, this matter is not completely solved, we still have a lot of things to do, we must immediately release the news to the outside world, just say that there are still people behind the scenes, first, it can deter those people, second, it can also divert everyone's attention, and win everyone's sympathy, in fact, we are also victims." ”

"I'll arrange for someone to do this." Kou Zhuansha said, and said with a little worry: "Husband, you tell everyone now, you still have a hand, will this ......" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "I have no choice, I have to give an exciting news immediately to stimulate the market and dispel everyone's doubts, the stock price of Yaxing cannot collapse, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." But don't worry, even if you tell them, they won't find it, it's a trade secret, do they understand business? ”

......

East Plant.

"The Duke is in a hurry to find me, is it because of Guo Dan's business?"

Liu Shouyou, who had just come to the East Factory, asked Zhang Whale.

But Zhang Whale seemed to be thinking about something, as if he hadn't heard it.

Liu Shouyou shouted again: "Governor." ”

Zhang Whale was stunned, came back to his senses, and said, "How do you know?" ”

Liu Shouyou said with a smile: "As soon as this Guo Dan came back, there was a storm in the city, and there was nothing else to do." ”

"That's right, that kid is a toss-up!" Zhang Whale smiled bitterly and said, "Here's the thing, that kid threatened that there were still people behind the case, so His Majesty asked me to be in charge of investigating this matter." ”

"Is there anyone behind this?"

Liu Shouyou was stunned for a moment, and then said: "According to the results of the investigation of the Beizhen Fusi, there is no evidence to indicate that there are people behind it, whether Your Majesty is using this matter to deter those people." ”

Zhang Whale shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, about those people, Your Majesty has decided to catch one or two killers and make an example, this can't be confused, Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter, so you must do your best to investigate, and you must not let go of any clues." ”

Liu Shou nodded and said, "I know." ”
