Li Yinglong, Feng Tiancheng, Huang Gongwang, and the intelligent master walked out of the gate of the mansion with a smile.

At this time, the two yellow caravans drove to the front of the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion and stopped, and then saw Kou Xiang jump out of the first car, and then saw a palace maid jump out of the second car, and then the queen mother got out of the car, and the palace maid under the car hurriedly stretched out her hands to help the queen mother out of the car.

Li Yinglong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned his head to the three of them: I'm a guest again, three, I'm sorry, I can't drink with you today, let's do it another day.

Hearing this, Huang Gongwang asked strangely: There are guests again, what kind of guests are coming, is it very important?

Li Yinglong smiled mysteriously: My mother, my mother is here.

Hearing this, Huang Gongwang was surprised: What, you still have a mother!

Li Yinglong glared: Nonsense, I jumped out of the crack in the stone without a mother.

After that, he turned his legs to greet him, and came to the queen mother and shouted happily: Mother, are you old?

Turned his head and said to Kou Xiang: Old man Kou, are you here too?

The Queen Mother glared at him and said: You always cause trouble, can I not come?

Huang Gongwang, who was standing not far away, heard their conversation and couldn't help but be stunned: Yo, it's really his mother.

After that, Xiang Feng Tiancheng and Zhizhi waved their hands: Let's go, let's drink, don't affect the meeting of mother and son.

So the three of them left.

Kou Xiangdao: Yes, you always cause trouble, and we can't do it if we don't want to.

Li Yinglong glared at Kou Xiang: Hey, old man Kou, what bad things did you say about me to my mother?

Kou Xiangdao: You kid can really talk nonsense, can I say bad things about you, nothing more than to publicize your heroic feats for you, your mother heard that you were so bad, and she came to see you when she was happy.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong glared at him again and said: Are you an old man, why are you telling my mother about this.

After that, he turned his head to the Queen Mother: Mother, it's okay, don't listen to this old man's nonsense.

The queen mother glanced at him angrily: Everyone has sued you to the emperor, and they still say that they are foolish.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong looked shocked and said: Yes, yo, it seems that this matter has made a big deal.

After speaking, he waved his hand and said: Mother, old man Kou, let's talk.

After saying that, he helped the queen mother to walk towards the yamen of the palace, and Kou Xiang followed behind the two.

After the three of them entered the living room and sat down, the Queen Mother asked: What are you doing with the dozens of women in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Do you want to marry them all and be your wife?

Li Yinglong said: I'm not the emperor's lord, what do you want so many ladies for.

After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly, he raised his hand and patted his head and said: I have an idea, so let's help the poor people.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother and Kou Xiang said in unison in surprise: What, help the poor!

Li Yinglong said: Yes, there must be many poor men in the city who can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, check it out, and then give them all these women in the prime minister's mansion, so that they can become a family, doesn't this help the poor, how about it, this idea is good, I'm smart, right?

Hearing this, the Queen Mother glared at him angrily and said: What kind of bad idea are you, how can people send it as a thing, what are you fooling about.

Li Yinglong waved his hand: Mother, it was not invented by me to treat people as things, it was invented by that Wang Qin, and he and his son saw that there were beautiful women there, so they wanted to come over as something, or grab it. No, either give them away, or sell those women, and sell them to brothels.

I learned it from them, what is this called, oh, the carpenter makes a flail, no, no, Luban plays with a big knife in front of the door, it's not right, it's not right, oh, I remember, it's a gourd to draw a scoop, yes, that's it.

Kou Xiangdao: Hey, boy, why did you change your mind again and stop auctioning?

Li Yinglong said: Originally, I wanted to build a platform in Daxiangguo Temple

I auctioned off these women and made a few taels of silver for a while, but I was afraid that people would say that I was greedy, so I changed my mind.

After a pause, he continued: I will send someone to set up a platform in front of the Daxiangguo Temple early tomorrow morning, and then bring those women over to send a bachelor man.

Hearing this, the queen mother raised her hand angrily and gave him a slap, and after the reprimand: Shut up for me, now it's too much trouble, and if you make any more trouble, the face of the court will be lost by you.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong was strange: Mother, this is my personal matter with that Wang Qin, what is the matter with the court?

The Empress Dowager said: If you are all ordinary people, of course it is not about the court, but one of you is the right prime minister of the dynasty, the other is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion, every move of the two of you is on behalf of the court, you continue to mess around like this, where is the face of the court.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong made a look like he had just remembered, and then raised his hand and patted his head: Ah, there is such a layer, I will go, I want to be simple, then I will not deliver, let's deal with it internally.

After that, ask Kou Xiang: Old man Kou, do you want it, if you want it, you can pick a few.

Kou Xiang hurriedly waved his hand: Don't, don't, it's better for you to keep it yourself, I don't have your two hits, I can't afford to offend that Wang Qin, and he knows that he is blocking my gate and scolding my mother.

The Queen Mother said: Okay, don't mess around, Wang Qin has been embarrassed enough by you like this, hurry up and put the people back.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong nodded: Okay, listen to my mother, I'll release you, but ------

Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, looking at him like that, it seemed that there was going to be something wrong, the Queen Mother and Kou Xiang suddenly became nervous, so they looked at him together.

Li Yinglong continued: But you can't let it go in vain, I have one condition.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother and Kou Xiang asked in unison a little nervously: What conditions?

Li Yinglong said: The ransom for each person is 30,000 taels, and the 32 people are 960,000 taels of silver, plus my carriage, horses, sedan chair fees, labor costs, etc., just take 1 million taels of silver, and release the people immediately when the silver arrives.

Hearing this, Kou Xiang's shocked pair of eyes almost didn't bulge out, so he shouted rudely: I'll go, your kid is a bandit kidnapping, open his mouth for a million taels of silver, can he take it out? I think you're going to kill him.

Li Yinglong waved his hand: Old man Kou, you don't understand, like this kind of corrupt official in a high position, let him take out 1.8 million taels of silver and drink cold water, you don't have to worry about him, he can take it out.

After that, he said casually: Just like the Heshen in the Qing Dynasty, the embezzled money topped the country's taxes for several years, and he was slaughtered for 180,000 taels of silver.

One didn't pay attention to saying that he had leaked his mouth, and it seemed that he also realized that he had leaked his mouth, so he heard him mutter: Ah, it's early, the Qing Dynasty hasn't come yet.

Kou Xiang asked strangely: Boy, which dynasty is the Qing Dynasty you are talking about, why is there no record in Sima Qian's historical records?

Li Yinglong said busily: It is a court in ancient times recorded in the wild history, and it is normal that there is no record in the historical records.

The Empress Dowager asked: Ying Long, even if he can get it, why do you want so much silver?

Li Yinglong said: Why do I want it, I am asking for it for the country, and this silver is to be used as a military preparation for war.

The Queen Mother asked: War? Who are you fighting with?

Li Yinglong said: Fight with the king of Luoyang, the army of the king of Luoyang has now entered Luoyang City, and it won't be long before he will march east and attack the capital.

Hearing this, Kou Xiang was shocked and asked: What, the army of the King of Luoyang has entered Luoyang City, where did you get this news? Is it accurate?

Li Yinglong said: It was told to me by three of my friends from Luoyang City.

Kou Xiang hurriedly asked: What about your three friends?

Li Yinglong said: Let's go, just now

Walk. By the way, when you and my mother came just now, the three people you saw at the door were my friends from Luoyang.

Kou Xiang asked: What do your three friends do?

Li Yinglongdao: One is the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts League, one is the leader of the beggar gang, and the other is the host of the Shaolin Temple.

Hearing this, Kou Xiang nodded and said: These three people are all well-known figures in the rivers and lakes, and what they say will not be false.

After that, he paused, thought for a while, and said: Boy, don't get entangled in the matter between you and Wang Qin, and finish it as soon as possible and do something serious. In this way, I asked Wang Qin to pay 100,000 taels of silver as spiritual compensation to Miss Shi, and he will definitely not give you 1 million taels, even if he takes it, he will not take it, otherwise, he will not become a big corrupt official in name.

Hey, you kid don't have to ignore people, you have to ask for a million taels, and then force Wang Qin to sink the boat, people don't want it, can you really go to Daxiangguo Temple to set up a platform to sell live people, if you really do this, my old man will be the first to not let you.

The Queen Mother also said: This palace will not let you mess around like this.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender: Okay, okay, I surrender, just do what your old man Kou said.

Kou Xiang hurriedly said: Queen Mother, I will go back to the palace first to finish the matter between this kid and Wang Qin, you don't have to be busy going back, stay for a while to teach this kid a lesson, so that he will stop messing around in the future.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong shouted angrily: I said, don't be so bad as you old man, don't forget to say bad things about me in front of my mother before leaving.

After that, he turned his head and said to the Queen Mother: Mother, don't listen to this bad old man's provocation, it will ruin the relationship between our mother and son.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother laughed.

Wang Qin and the dozen or so officials were still waiting in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Kou Xiang returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall in a hurry.

Wang Qin hurriedly greeted him and asked urgently: Kou Xiang, did the person surnamed Li promise to release my house?

Kou Xiangdao: The Empress Dowager and I had a long time grinding our tongues before persuading Governor Li to release him, but you have to pay 100,000 taels of silver to give Miss Shi a spiritual compensation.

Hearing this, Wang Qin exclaimed: What, 100,000 taels, he grabbed it, I don't have so much silver for them.

Kou Xiangdao: 100,000 taels is too much, at the beginning, the price was 1 million taels, I told him, Wang Xiang is not a big corrupt official, he can't take out 1 million taels of silver, 100,000 taels he smashed the pot, selling iron may be able to make up.

Why, don't you want to take it? Okay, I'll go back and tell Governor Li that you won't give it, let him prepare, and go to Daxiangguo Temple tomorrow to set up a platform to auction those women in your house.

Hearing this, Zhao Heng interjected: Wang Xiang, 100,000 taels is not much for you, you can give it to others, who let you provoke others, are you for a mere 100,000 taels of silver, let people take out the women in your house and sell them as goods, if this is the case, where is your face.

There is a sentence that Zhao Heng did not say, that is, if such a thing really happens, your reputation as the prime minister will be completely finished, so do you still want to continue to be the right prime minister, you can afford to lose that person, but the court can't afford to lose that person.

How smart Wang Qin is, can he not guess what Zhao Heng didn't say, so he made a very reluctant look and said: Yes, the emperor, the minister, obey the order.

Kou Xiangdao: Even if the prince agreed, the queen mother is still in the Kaifeng Mansion, you hurry up and take the silver to redeem people, otherwise as soon as the queen mother leaves, Li Zhifu will feel that he has suffered a loss again, and if you grow 100,200,000 taels, you will suffer a big loss.

Hearing this, Wang Qin's face changed: Kou Xiang reminded me that I will go to Kaifeng Mansion to redeem people.

After that, he said to Zhao Heng: Your Majesty, the minister has retired.

Zhao Heng waved his hand and said, "Wang Xiang, go and do your business."

Wang Qindao: Thank you, Your Majesty!

After that, he hurriedly retreated with more than a dozen officials.
