Thinking of this, Chunli also knew the problem Xiao Qiyu was facing.

"What is he doing? Are you really eating and drinking with the magistrate? Chunli asked.

Xiao Qizhen spread her hands and smiled, from his helpless expression, Chunli could see the problem, she went to the backyard, the backyard was arranged like a Taiping Wharf, there was not only a banquet in it, but also a few beautiful dancers, the clothes worn by the dancers were also very revealing, and several magistrates were talking and laughing.

Xiao Qiyu invited them to watch the beauties dance, and when the dance came to an end, Xiao Qiyu cut to the topic, "Today, this king is here to collect money to build a barrage dam, and you have all arrived, and now you should also watch and donate a little." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was shocked, they were all corrupt officials with one of the best books in Dongsheng, and Xiao Qiyu invited them to have an estimate of everyone before they came.

Wanting to build a barrage dam according to his own prepared forces was really a drop in the bucket, but he set his sights on these corrupt officials and local tyrants and gentry.

This group of people can be invited to the banquet, and they are still honored, how do they know what arrangements or conspiracies are behind it?

"When you come here today, you probably have also seen the difficulties of this king, and if you can come to this garden, you must have decided to donate, and now the court has been outlived and ruined! The emperor's side has allocated funds one after another, and the court has also collapsed, so this king still relies on your generosity. ”

"There is a way that there are still 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion for three years, and now everyone is much more than the seven-grade sesame official, and you can also call the wind and rain with your fingers, so donate it." Xiao Qiyu smiled faintly, and still ordered the dancers to sing and dance vigorously.

Just now, everyone was still in the mood to watch the dance performance, but at the moment, everyone was sweating, not to mention watching the performance, and I couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Everyone looked at each other, and a timid voice came out, breaking the silence that had been maintained for a long time, "Shizi, then fight from a young age, the villain is throwing bricks and leading the jade here, the villain is the most insignificant among all of you here, too much and it is true that you can't take it out, just two hundred taels of silver." ”

After the man finished speaking, a person next to him was about to record, but Xiao Qiyu smiled indifferently, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and he didn't know what was written on that paper, and suddenly the other party turned white and was silent for a long time.

"Your Excellency, you can think about it first, and this king will come when he goes." Xiao Qiyu saw Ji Chunli, he got up and walked close to Chunli, Chunli knew that this was a Hongmen banquet, and at this moment he saw that it was true.

With a faint smile on her face, she looked at him, he was still so jade, it seemed that the hard work of the past few days had not made her make him vicissitudes and tiredness.

The two looked at each other and smiled, it was the tacit understanding of reuniting old friends after a long absence, Chunli was taken to the side by Xiao Qiyu to speak, he looked warm as jade, it seemed that life in the market had made him calm and content, and it seemed that the danger and pressure he faced were completely insignificant.

Chunli stared at the deep eyes, and was a little difficult to extricate herself. Whenever she was in a low mood or when she encountered a demonic obstacle, she would stare at those peaceful eyes, and her mood would improve. It was an energy that could be obtained, and his eyes were like the sparkling ocean.

Chunli stood opposite him, Xiao Qiyu reached out and took a fallen petal from his hair and threw it into the wind, "What are you looking for me to do at this moment?" ”

"I want to come and see you." Chunli actually had an obstacle to expression, she clenched her fists in fear, Xiao Qiyu was too close to her, so that his breathing could make her really feel it, he approached Chunli's mouth and almost landed on her earlobe, what was he going to say, but he smiled faintly.

"It's gone quickly." Xiao Qiyu came to such a sentence inexplicably, and Chunli didn't know if the "soon passed" implied a flood or something else, she didn't know what to do, staring at Xiao Qiyu.

"Do you know why the emperor wants you to follow him?"

"Keep an eye on him." The emperor has made the purpose clear, and Chunli also knows it, but as soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Qiyu smiled faintly, "The emperor asked you to stare at her, in fact, he also let her stare at you, the emperor wants to know that you are my person or his person." "Actually, the emperor wants to know who is more eloquent and strategic, Xiao Qiyu or Xiao Ziyan, and who is more responsible for governing the country and the country.

"I see." Chunli's head is a little empty, whenever he faces Xiao Qiyu, he will do so.

"Chunli, go ahead, it's going to be over soon." The same thing, Xiao Qiyu said it again, Chunli bit her lip and nodded and left. He turned back and walked towards everyone in a falling flower, the group of people seemed to have talked, seeing Xiao Qiyu coming, the person had already knelt in front of Xiao Qiyu.

"Now the national disaster is at the head, lord! The lowly man would rather destroy his family and donate three thousand taels of silver. The man also let go, and what he just handed to Xiao Qiyu was a letter he exchanged with a superior official, and the content of the conversation was how to dump the money of the imperial court.

At this moment, the evidence is conclusive, in the lower right corner of the paper, Xiao Qiyu also annotated the amount of money, the man can only do it, he knows that once this thing is delivered to the emperor, everything will be different.

"Oh, write it down, this king has thanked Lord Liu on behalf of the people." After writing, Lord Liu was finally able to leave at ease, watching Lord Liu leave gracefully, and the rest of the people also began to donate, Xiao Qiyu held a piece of paper in his hand, staring at the paper like a torch, and the grim gaze could almost shoot through the paper.

Once the figures reported by everyone meet Xiao Qiyu's standards, they can leave, and if they don't, his thick eyebrows will knot.

Everyone donated money one after another, and after a while, the gold was jingling, and the group of people finally left, and the cable newspaper said that many officials committed suicide after donating money, and no one knew the specific matter.

How could they stay?

Xiao Qiyu got some of the silver, and immediately rolled his fists and sleeves and started to make big moves, he asked people to start all the embankments, and then began to build, Pei Yan, Gao Dekai and others worked day and night to give advice and guide everyone.

But the construction of the barrage dam was a matter of one day, and soon all the money was gone, but after all, the barrage was only a little outlined, and everyone once again fell into a city of sorrow.

"Zheng Qiuyi, you go and investigate who is doing the best business in Dong Shengguo, and invite them to dinner." The so-called no treacherous business, those who do business already know Xiao Qiyu's skills, even if they are invited, they don't dare to come.

On the same day, Shen Ji held the list and went door to door to remind that many people were sick, Shen Ji's temper has always been bad, but a person who pretended to be sick hiccuped, where did everyone dare to continue when they saw this?

On the second day, the merchants also arrived.

"This king doesn't want you to do things in vain, your Qinglou will be the teaching department of the imperial court from now on, and if there is anything good to do for you as soon as possible, the food that the imperial court needs every month will come out of your store." This group of people are all businessmen, they know what the fate of offending the prince is, and they all follow Xiao Ziyan's request to donate.

At that time, agriculture was heavy and merchants were suppressed, so the life of merchants was also in dire straits, and everyone was more disgusted with speculation, but without the era of merchants, it was impossible to advance, and the people's lives would be stagnant.

Some businessmen have money, but they don't have any reputation, Xiao Qiyu rewards them according to the money they donate, and the reward is just a plaque of Huanghuali, what "Virtue Liufang" and "Virtue Load", the words on it are Xiao Qiyu's own handwriting, and the dragon and phoenix dance are their own family.

Everyone also raised their eyebrows.

On the other hand, Xiao Ziyan went back early, and everything on his side had already died down, Emperor Jiading secretly compared all the behaviors of the two of them, and found that Xiao Ziyan only did things for the sake of doing things, and he was sneaky and liked to do superficial things, but Xiao Qiyu was different, he was steady and steady, and dared to act.

When Ji Chunli came back, the emperor summoned her, and the two chatted about Xiao Ziyan's behavior in the outside world, Chunli was like another pair of eyes of the emperor, she said everything 1510, and she didn't dare to make any mistakes. After hearing this, the emperor smiled: "What you said is very true, but there is nothing wrong, Zhang Fu, it is the same as what you said." ”

Chunli saw that the man named Zhang Fu was originally a horseman who followed them, and secretly thought that the emperor was really scheming, and everything was in order, otherwise even she would not be spared at this moment.
