Zhou Zheng put down his words here, and Shuntianfu was not idle.

They seized a lot of property from Shangguan Qing's dart bureau, and the officials discussed how to distribute it while counting it.

"Such a thing, this dart game is really fat."

"This is not from this dart bureau, it is from the Zhou Chamber of Commerce, and it will be escorted to Tianjin Wei and transported to Nanzhili."

"These things are worth at least tens of thousands of taels ......"

"How do you get it, is it still the old rule?"

"The old rule, stay nine and one."

"Good! Well, if it's twice a year, we don't have to do anything else......"

"Hurry up, the grown-ups are waiting."

The so-called 'nine first' means that ninety percent will stay in Shuntian Mansion and one will be handed over to the imperial court.

Jiang Zheng is a middle-aged man, wearing an official uniform, holding his stomach, lying comfortably on a chair, holding his hands on his abdomen, and saying comfortably: "It's beyond my expectations, tens of thousands of taels......"

Not far in front of him sat Feng Yao, the chief bookkeeper of the Shuntian Mansion, he looked at Jiang Zheng, and said with a smile: "My lord has been outside Beijing for a long time, I don't know the capital, this Zhou Chamber of Commerce has a close relationship with the salt merchants in Jiangnan, how can it not be fattening......"

Jiang Zheng nodded, and said with emotion: "The capital is the best place in the world, and it is not as prosperous as the south of the Yangtze River, but I didn't expect to have such financial resources...... By the way, I heard that they have a close relationship with the Zhou family? ”

There are many dignitaries surnamed Zhou in the Ming Dynasty, and not far away there is Zhou Yingqiu, a former official of the Ministry of Officials. But right now, there is only the household servant, the emperor's close minister Zhou Qingli's family.

Feng Yao hurriedly said: "It is rumored by the outside world that it is related to Zhou Zhengyun, the second son of Zhou Shilang, and I heard that he is a big proprietor and has a lot of money. ”

Jiang Zheng knew Zhou Zheng, after all, he was a person who had done some things and had some reputation.

Jiang Zheng didn't pay attention to it at all, and still said with a subtle smile: "The old rule is to send it to my house at night." ”

Feng Yao smiled with him, and said with a knowing smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I will convert the things out later, and send sixty percent to your mansion to ensure that the gods do not know the ghosts." ”

Jiang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then his expression was slightly faint, and he looked at Feng Yao and said: "Zhou Qingli is about to resign, you find someone to beat Zhou Zhengyun, so that he will not be interested and cause any trouble." ”

Feng Yao immediately said: "Don't worry, the big one, the little one will go in person." ”

Jiang Zheng leaned on the chair, smiled lightly, and said, "After this thing is done, we can have a good New Year." By the way, in the house, everyone has a share, don't be left behind. ”

Feng Yao said: "Don't worry, my lord, it's all done well, and I guarantee that there will be no mistakes." ”

Jiang Zheng thought about this matter before and after to make sure that there was no mistake, and then said: "You go to find a famous painting of the Song Dynasty, preferably Mi Fu's, bring it to me at night, to be real." ”

Feng Yao said with a clear face: "Don't worry, my lord, I'll do it later." ”

Jiang Zheng's face was full of comfort, and he said: "Well, next year, I may have to go to the Sixth Department, and I will release a high-class county magistrate or a member of the Sixth Department, you pick one." ”

Feng Yao was overjoyed, stood up and raised his hand and said, "Thank you, thank you for your promotion!" ”

Jiang Zheng smiled, his face full of comfort.

……

When Jiang Zheng and Feng Yao were overjoyed, the people of the Shangguan Qing Dart Bureau were all imprisoned in the cells of Shuntian Mansion.

More than 20 people were detained separately, most of them with sad faces and grumbling mouths.

"I just said that I can't take this dart, so many goods, what compensation do we take!"

"Yes, tens of thousands of taels of silver, we can't earn it in a lifetime, then the owner is not a customer to mess with at first glance, we are afraid that we will go bankrupt......"

"What is the bankruptcy of the family, I am afraid that the family will be ruined, and I will be imprisoned for the rest of my life!"

"What do you think we're going to do......"

These are ordinary dart masters, gathered together, in a few words, extremely pessimistic, almost crying.

Shangguan Qing's cell, but some people are Shangguan Qing's cronies, who followed Shangguan Qing through Yongping Mansion, and even followed Shangguan Qing with Zhou to suppress bandits in Yongping Mansion and fight in the capital.

They didn't say much, their expressions were calm, but their eyes were quite worried.

Where is the matter in the court so simple, even Zhou Zheng is not a big person, he can't turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands for rain, if Shuntianfu really detains their goods, they have nowhere to reason and avenge their grievances.

They've seen a lot of things like this!

I don't know how long it took, but a jailer walked into the cell of Shuntianfu, delivered food to Shangguan Qing in the cell, and said in a low voice: "Miss Shangguan, someone asked me to bring you a message, and I will pick you up tomorrow." ”

Shangguan Qing was still wearing a tight-fitting suit, looked at the servant, hummed softly, and reached out to take the meal.

The official didn't say much, and left quickly.

There was a middle-aged man behind Shangguan Qing, who came over and picked up the chopsticks, and whispered to Shangguan Qing: "Shopkeeper, did someone save us?" ”

Shangguan Qing naturally heard the complaints everywhere, and said with a pretty face: "Eat." ”

The middle-aged man immediately stopped talking, and hurriedly beckoned to the others, and at the same time shouted to the other cells: "You can't stop your mouths when you eat!" ”

There was silence in the cell, and no one dared to speak.

……

Zhou Zheng left Jiujiang Pavilion and was busy outside, and it was almost dark before returning home.

As soon as he returned home, he saw two unexpected people, one was Zhou Qingli, who returned home early, and the other was Shangguanxun.

Zhou Zheng looked at Shangguan Xun, although he was surprised, he still said: "I have already arranged it, don't worry, I can come out tomorrow." ”

Shangguan Xun hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Dongjia." ”

Zhou Zheng hummed, sat down on the chair, looked at Zhou Qingli and said, "Dad, why did you come back so early today?" ”

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng, glanced at Shangguanxun, and paused before saying, "The yamen has nothing to do, so I came back early." ”

Shangguan Xun sat opposite Zhou Zheng, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said to Zhou Zheng for a while: "Dongjia, that's the case." Qing'er is past the marriageable age, if she doesn't get married, or engaged, the government will forcibly marry, and then I discussed it with Lord Zhou, and let Qing'er get married to the owner. ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned for a moment when he listened, and his eyes turned between Zhou Qingli and Shangguan Xun.

The Ming Dynasty did have a rule that marriageable women would not marry, and the government could forcibly marry, but why him?

Well, he did have some 'ambiguity' with Shangguan Qing.

Although it was a little embarrassing, I was secretly happy in my heart.

The three people present were not good at talking, especially this kind of topic, and the scene fell into embarrassment for a while.

For a while, Zhou Qingli saw that Zhou Zheng had no objection, and said conclusively: "This matter is so decided, and we will get married next year." ”

Shangguan Xun listened and breathed a sigh of relief. He naturally knew his daughter's thoughts, but the proprietor in front of him obviously had great ambitions, and the Zhou family was a noble family, so he was very worried that the proprietor would not look down on the daughter of a businessman from their small family.

Zhou Zheng blinked, and acquiesced to this arrangement.

At the same time, the General Political Envoy Department received several copies of the impeachment of the cabinet minister Qian Xiangkun, and did not dare to delay and sent all of them to the cabinet.

Zhou Yanru looked at these playbooks, with a smug look in his eyes, glanced at Qian Xiangkun, stood up with the playbooks, and prepared to enter the palace.

Qian Xiangkun sat not far from him, looking down at the official document, but in fact, he kept staring at him, seeing that he had entered the palace again, he sneered in his heart, and secretly said, "What are you proud of, your position will soon be mine!" ’

Guan Sheng said

The second is a little later.
