This foreigner clearly heard Qian Shengchao's blackmail, but he didn't dare to be angry, and said with a smile: "Although there is no IOU, 2.6 million cents is a lot, and before the end of the year, the household department will definitely pay it back." ”

Qian Shengchao said lightly: "If you say 2.6 million without evidence, no one will believe it, I think it's better to find a few adults who can call the shots, and sit down and talk in person." ”

The smile on his face froze, not knowing what to do.

Chen Zhenqing was in the side door at the moment, listening to Qian Shengchao's increase in the price to five million, his face was gloomy and ugly.

Five million, 500,000 are difficult to raise, where can they get these 5 million?

What's more, this is the extortion of a small businessman, how can you recognize it as a dignified household department? !

But he didn't dare to go out, outside, he was a high-ranking household servant, the world looked up, and in the eyes of the real big man, he could be stabbed to death with one hand.

Qian Shengchao didn't squint, his expression was calm, and he just stared at this outsider.

He's got the news that his club has won a big win, so what's there to fear!

This foreigner is just a messenger, how dare he really offend Qian Shengchao, gritted his teeth and laughed with him, saying good things.

Chen Zhenqing was inside, seeing that Qian Shengchao was unswerving, biting five million to death, his eyes were gloomy, and his face was constantly changing.

He couldn't help but want to go out several times and angrily scolded Qian Shengchao, but finally held back.

I don't know how long it took in the side hall, but Chen Yan finally came back.

Chen Zhenqing suppressed his anger and said in a low voice: "My lord, they raised the price to five million!" ”

Chen Yan has already read Zhou Zheng's note, compared to saving his life and official position, as well as the power ceded out, money and food are already a trivial matter.

Despite this, Chen Yan still had a heartache, a headache, and was uncomfortable, so he took a deep breath and said, "Promise him." ”

Chen Zhenqing's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "My lord, that's five million!" He wants us to pay it off in a year, how is that possible? ”

Five million, this is a huge amount of money, Yang Sichang was ready to open the net on all sides, and after more than two years of planning, there was only about one million!

Chen Yan didn't understand, but did they have any other choice?

"yes, I know." Chen Yan let out a long sigh in his heart and said expressionlessly.

Chen Zhenqing looked at Chen Yan, who was also an old slippery head who had been up and down in the sea for many years, and finally woke up, nodded in panic, and said, "Xiaguan understands." ”

Chen Yan watched him walk outside, bitter in his heart, and said secretly: How do you know that our fate has long been in the hands of others, and we still want to drive away that ......

Chen Zhenqing came out, looked at Qian Shengchao, who was still imprisoned in the firewood room by him not long ago, and said expressionlessly: "We agreed, you can go." ”

Qian Shengchao showed a hint of a smile on his unmoving expression and said, "That's good, I believe in the credibility of the household department." By the way, Yuanfu promised to give us 500,000 yuan of money and food, and 400,000 yuan, hoping to pay it off within five days, so as not to affect the great cause of the imperial court to suppress bandits. ”

Chen Zhenqing's teeth were about to shatter, his eyes were gloomy staring at Qian Shengchao, and he said word by word: "The official said, I know." ”

Qian Shengchao suddenly smiled on his face, raised his hand, and said, "Lord Xie, the villain is leaving." ”

Qian Shengchao turned around and left, leaving the side hall of the household in silence.

That foreigner is stupid, five million, Chen Shilang really agreed! This is naked extortion, extortion!

Chen Zhenqing didn't seem to see the expression of this outsider staring at him, stared at Qian Shengchao coldly, and turned straight into the inner hall.

Chen Yan called a group of cronies over and discussed secretly for a long time.

These people left the secret room, all with solemn expressions, and did not say a word.

In this similarity, it is Zhou Yanru's other lineages, one by one, who are clearly explained, and Zhou Zheng's line is 'clearly distinguished', and they no longer fight with each other.

At the same time, one by one, they were given a very difficult task, that is, to 'raise money and food', and they had to use all means, whether it was borrowing, stealing, or robbing, they must raise five million within a year!

The promised Yulu is gone, the yard is no longer repaired, and those 'filial piety' who know it well are also returned to the public......

Zhou Yanru and his family were desperately raising money, and what was amazing was that in just five days, they raised 400,000 yuan and handed it over to Zhang Heyi.

Expedition to the West Corridor.

Zhou Zheng's second son, Zhou Deke, wandered around the entire Zhengxi Corridor crookedly, unlike his eldest brother, who was introverted and afraid of life, the little guy didn't seem to have anything to fear, running around, screaming and chasing when he saw something new.

This is Zheng Xibo's second son, and the people in the Zheng Xilang are all spoiled, even if they are busy, they occasionally play with the little guy.

Zhang Heyi took the slip from the household department, came to Zhou Zheng's room, and said in amazement: "My lord, don't look at the lack of money in the treasury, these people are really rich, they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair the yard a while ago, and raised 400,000 ...... in a blink of an eye."

Zhou Zheng glanced up at him and said, "Have you found out where you came?" ”

Zhang Heyi glanced around and said, "The students inquired, and some of them were 'borrowed', and they were a little smaller. Part of it is the deduction of Caoyun, salt class, tea, etc., which is related to the merchants in Jiangnan. There is also a part, that is, selling officials, I heard that all kinds of fat shortages, clearly marked prices, Sichuan salt class raised, the price is 5,000 taels! ”

Zhou Zheng was not surprised, pondered for a moment, and said, "Keep an eye on them." ”

Zhang Heyi nodded, and was about to turn around and go out, and said, "By the way, my lord, I heard that King Lu has entered Beijing and has already entered the palace." ”

This Zhou Zheng already knew, and continued to bury his head in reading, and said: "Don't worry, there is trouble, there are people above us." ”

Zhang Heyi suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, the student is leaving." ”

When Zhang Heyi came out of Zhou Zheng's room, King Lu entered the Qianqing Palace and was meeting Zhu Cihong.

King Lu's fief is Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong, Shandong's innovation, King Lu's Mansion has been suppressed, King Lu also cried to Chongzhen, and was pressed back by Zhou Zheng through a few cases, and now, he can't help but jump out.

King Lu stood in front of Zhu Cihong's desk, and said bitterly and helplessly: "Your Majesty, since the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the imperial court has repeatedly deducted the money of my Lu Palace, and the first emperor was deceived by traitors and reduced the land of Lu Wangfu. Now, the minister can't stand it anymore, and I ask Your Majesty to urge the household department to distribute the Lu Wangfu's Yulu. ”

Zhu Cihong didn't know about this, but King Lu was a clan, so he couldn't ignore it, so he turned his head to look at Li Zhong.

These Li Zhong knew this, glanced at King Lu, and said softly: "Long live Lord, what King Lu said is the truth. ”

Zhu Cihong sighed and said, "Then let the household department allocate it as soon as possible." ”

Li Zhong did not speak.

King Lu was overjoyed and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to give an order." ”

Zhu Cihong blinked, and then turned his head to look at Li Zhong.

He is only ten years old, whether it is in terms of etiquette or reality, the power has fallen to the outer court, which is a step further than his father Emperor Chongzhen.

He didn't dare to decide on such a major matter alone.
