Chapter 32 Doing business in the court

Murong Qing's two sentences revealed Qiu Shangshu's details, which made the officials present have a hint of dodging and fear in their eyes when they looked at Murong Qing, for fear that Murong Qing would expose their old roots.

Shang Shilang saw that Murong Qing was looking at him, thinking about something thoughtfully, and hurriedly lowered his posture and said, "Three...... Third Miss, I don't have that much money to buy an Oiran. ”

Murong Qing nodded and said, "Lord Shilang is right, but it's ......."

Murong Qing's heart trembled a few times when he said the word 'but', and his eyes stared at Murong Qing to listen to what she was going to say.

Murong Qing continued, "But I can lend it to you. ”

"Lend it to me?"

Shang Shilang turned to sneer and said, "Third Miss, you would have such a good heart?" ”

Murong Qing was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "Lord Shilang said this, as if I am a bad person, this girl, I am very kind-hearted. ”

The ministers who knew that Murong Qing was a person slandered in their hearts: I believe you are a ghost.

Murong Qing saw Shang Shilang's suspicious look and asked, "Lord Shilang, do you want to borrow or not?" ”

Shang Shilang heard that he peeked at the emperor on the dragon chair, and saw that the emperor was looking at him, and he regretted that he was quick for a while, and he made Murong Qing, a slut, ugly.

At this point, there was no other way but to knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach, Shang Shilang gritted his back molars and said awe-inspiringly: "Then I will borrow five thousand taels of gold and dedicate it to the court to share your majesty's worries and solve problems for the people." ”

"Okay."

Murong Qing agreed, saying, "Five thousand taels of gold is five thousand taels of gold." Then he hesitated and said, "But...... There is no evidence, Lord Squire, let's make a note in black and white! ”

At this moment, how could Shang Shilang feel that Murong Qing's promise was too quick and contrary to common sense, and he seemed to be in her way?

After thinking about it again, I thought about it, why don't I just make a note, and then I don't admit it, what can I do with a little girl.

Thinking of this, the corners of Shang Shilang's mouth were slightly raised, the corners of his eyes were lowered with a slight playful smile, and he said, "Okay, let's stand up." ”

The emperor was interested when he heard this, he moved his body and glanced at Furui beside him, Furui understood, and put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table brought by the little eunuch with both hands.

"Wait!"

Shang Shilang picked up the pen in his hand and was about to write Murong Qing but stopped him, Shang Shilang paused when he heard this, looked at Murong Qing with displeasure and asked, "What, Third Miss, have you regretted it?" ”

Murong Qing chuckled and said, "Miss Ben has always counted when she speaks, but it's just ...... I'm afraid that with just one note, Lord Shilang will go back on his word and refuse to admit it, so it's better to ...... How about a squire-squire using some items as collateral? ”

"Humph!"

Shang Shilang heard this, and said with a disdainful face: "Could it be that this official will still deceive you, a little girl?" ”

Murong Qing said with a look of conviction, "I believe that Lord Shilang will not break his promise and get fat, let Lord Shilang take the object as collateral, it is also to buy a little girl, I have peace of mind, Lord Shilang should not even agree to this little request!" ”

Shang Shilang heard Murong Qing say this, so he had to secretly hold back, didn't he just take some objects, presumably she wouldn't want it too out of line.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Since the third miss has said so, what to mortgage the third lady has the final say." ”

The reason why he said this was because he was completely convinced that Murong Qing could not know the details of his family.

Don't look at Qiu Shangshu before, that's because he doesn't know the inspection himself, and who doesn't know who doesn't know the Manchu officials?

Murong Qing stared at Shang Shilang up and down for a while, and said thoughtfully, "Lord Shilang has two hundred taels of silver a year, one mansion, three other courtyards, and five shops, so I can barely get five thousand taels of gold, so it's better for Lord Shang to use these as collateral!" ”

Every time Murong Qing said a word, he wanted to be a sharp knife to poke his heart, and the fat all over his body trembled, those were the hard work of most of his life, if it was given to Murong Qing, a little slut, then his life would be over.

"You ......"

Shang Shilang wanted to ask how you knew so clearly, but he felt that it was too idiotic to ask, and then changed his words and said, "Don't deceive people too much." ”

Murong Qing looked at Shang Shilang calmly and said, "Lord Shilang, don't be angry, I'm just adding a small guarantee to myself, it's not that you don't pay it back, what are you afraid of!"

"Oh......"

Instead, Murong Qing seemed to understand something, stared at Shang Shilang and said, "Could it be that Lord Shilang didn't want to pay back this gold?" ”

Shang Shilang seemed to be said to be thoughtful, and the unnaturalness on his face flashed and said, "What...... How can the official borrow it and not pay it back? ”

Murong Qing looked at Shang Shilang with a smile and said in a coquettish voice: "Then Lord Shilang, please give me the ink treasure!" ”

At this time, Shang Shilang only felt that the paper was too white, the ink was too black, and his mind was too dizzy.

Slid his throat and swallowed his saliva, holding the pen in his hand as if he was a thousand gold, his heart was like numbness, and he would be bankrupt if he went down with this pen, and raised his head slightly and looked at Prime Minister Han Zhongzhi with a look for help.

But seeing Han Zhongzhi's eyes lowered, he didn't look at him at all, which made his heart surge, and a drop of cold sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead, he wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and then he mustered up the courage to write a book.

"Wait!"

At this moment, Murong Qing spoke out to stop again, Shang Shilang heard that the hand holding the pen shook, and the pitch-black ink was low and rendered the white paper, and he looked up at Murong Qing with slightly frightened eyes and asked, "You...... What else? ”

A touch of cunning crossed Murong Qing's eyes, and she said innocently and harmlessly, "Ah! It's nothing, I just want to ask Lord Shirou how long he plans to borrow it and pay it back. ”

"Five...... Five years, five years! ”

Murong Qing's smile was so treacherous and cunning in Shang Shilang's eyes, his eyes were full of calculations, what erudition, what was full of economy, he couldn't think of a word now, the only thing he remembered was the villain's smile on Murong Qing's face.

Murong Qing chuckled and lifted the green onion-like soft wattle, took off the paper rendered in ink, and said, "Okay, we're already in the five-year period, then Lord Squire, please!" ”

Shang Shilang raised the pen again and dipped it in ink, wrote the IOU with trembling hands, and pressed his hand, only then did he drop the pen like a deflated ball, and felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and his body was shaking and a little unsteady on his feet, but the minister next to him helped him.

The whole process seemed to be a long time, but in fact it was only a quarter of an hour, but it made Shang Shilang as physically and mentally exhausted as if he had been after a great battle, and this feeling was like facing a high monarch, making him walk on thin ice with every step.

Murong Qing proudly picked up the note and read it carefully, then looked at Shang Shilang, who was about to stand back among the ministers, and said, "Lord Shang's ink treasure is really extraordinary, please rest assured, Lord Shilang, I will send the gold to the lord's mansion after receiving the deed." ”

Shang Shilang was unmoved after hearing this, did he still care about Murong Qing's sarcastic words written in the notes?

Murong Qing said again, "Oh! I forgot to tell Lord Squire, that I will collect your annual income and the money income from the shop every year for the past five years. ”

Hearing this, Shang Shilang suddenly turned around, trembled and pointed at Murong Qing and asked angrily, "I just mortgaged it to you, not sold it to you, why do you accept the money income in my Nian Fenghe shop?" ”

Murong Qing said tepidly: "Lord Shilang, is this old age and brain is not good?" Is this little thing of yours worth five thousand taels of gold? ”

She also said, "Have you ever seen anyone who is trading at a loss? Therefore, the income of Fenghe Shop this year, I will receive the gold from Lord Shilang to pay off the gold. ”

"You ......"

Shang Shilang didn't say a word, and he felt as if his heart was being heavily, and his throat seemed to be surging upwards with an orangutan lick.

Murong Qing saw that Shang Shilang's face was flushed, which was not a good phenomenon, and hurriedly said, "Lord Shilang, you have to take care of your body!" If you don't feel well and fall, then ...... Then it's all mine. ”

Murong Qing also raised the IOU in his hand as he spoke, Shang Shilang's eyes stared at the IOU that was swaying back and forth, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he swallowed back the mouthful of blood that he was about to spit out, but the feeling of tightness in his chest was still there.

"Murong Qing, you actually deceived and humiliated the important ministers of the court in front of Your Majesty in the court, you ...... It's arrogant. The person who spoke was Han Zhongzhi, the prime minister of the dynasty, and then he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please be the master of the ministers and others, and severely punish this uncontrollable servant!" ”

"Why does the Prime Minister say that the third lady deceived and humiliated the important ministers of the court?"

Su Muchun looked at Han Zhongzhi differently, and asked without waiting for the other ministers to follow.

Han Zhongzhi saw that the person who spoke was Su Muchun, and he was a little stunned in his heart, and after pondering for a while, he said, "King Huichun, you also saw it just now, this woman asked Shang Shilang to sign the mortgage deed, and then said that the store's silver income was also collected, isn't this a fraud?" ”

Han Zhongzhi also said, "I took away all the money income of the store, so how can Shang Shilang pay off the debts he owes, if he can't pay it back, wouldn't Shang Shilang have nowhere to live, and there is no official in my dynasty who doesn't even have a place to live?" Isn't this humiliation, but what is it? ”

Su Muchun looked at Shang Shilang and said, "This king asked you, but you signed this mortgage deed voluntarily?" ”

Shang Shilang now howled and cried for the truth, but he had to endure it because of the occasion, and now when he heard Su Muchun ask him, he had to open his mouth again, and said in a depressed tone, "Yes!" ”

Can he say no! If so, then the emperor can let him go?

Su Muchun asked again: "This mansion, the mansion, the shop, and the money income are all voluntarily mortgaged by you?" ”

"Yes!"

Shang Shilang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied in a trembling voice.

Su Muchun turned around and looked at Han Zhongzhi again, and said, "Prime Minister Han, have you heard everything?" ”

Han Zhongzhi glared at Shang Shilang fiercely, saluted Su Muchun and said, "The lower official heard it." ”

Su Muchun asked again: "Prime Minister Han, can you hear clearly?" ”

Han Zhongzhi saluted again and said, "Xiaguan heard clearly!" ”

Su Muchun nodded and said, "Then Prime Minister Han still has doubts?" ”

Han Zhongzhi's heart trembled when Su Muchun asked, and he saluted and said, "Xiaguan...... There is no doubt about it! ”

Su Muchun ignored Han Zhongzhi, turned around, and wanted to bow deeply to the emperor and said, "Father, Shang Shilang sacrifices himself for others and has the world in mind, and he is a good official for the people and the country, and he should be rewarded." ”

The emperor looked at Su Muchun and then at Murong Qing, and finally looked at Shang Shilang and said, "Shang Shilang is selfless, benevolent, righteous and loves the people, and he deserves to be a model for the officials of our court, so he will reward ...... 'honest and honest' plaque in the public court." ”

When the ministers heard this, they sighed in their hearts: Shang Shilang went bankrupt in exchange for the words 'honest and honest'.

The emperor can't help it, a squire can't serve more than two hundred taels of silver a year, and there is so much property that is not corrupt and perverted, and Su Muchun grabbed this and didn't let it go, and he had no choice but to reward him with these four words to remind him from time to time.

Su Muchun glanced at the minister with a panicked face and asked, "Is there a good official like Xiang Shang Shilang, who selflessly shares the worries of his father and the emperor and solves problems for the people?" ”

Su Muchun's sentence of 'good official' doesn't know how many people are satirizing, everyone present is silent, they would rather be a dumb official than exchange all their property for the words 'honest and honest', they feel too shameful.

Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, Su Muchun glanced at the emperor and said, "Everyone, are you ashamed to speak to the third lady?" It would be better to start with this king. ”

When Su Muchun looked at Murong Qing, a touch of cunning crossed his eyes and said, "Third Miss, this king uses the Chun Palace's mansion as collateral to borrow 10,000 taels of gold from you." ”

Murong Qing frowned lightly, and couldn't think of what medicine was being sold in Su Muchun's gourd, so she had to nod and say, "Then ask the prince to write a note!" ”

Su Muchun nodded, walked to the table and was about to write, as if he suddenly remembered something and asked, "What are the conditions for the third lady?" ”

"Nope!"

Murong Qing was speechless, this Su Muchun was unintentional.

Only then did Su Muchun nod his head, picked up the pen, wrote the note, pressed his hand, and handed the IOU to Murong Qing.

After Murong Qing inspected it, he said, "I will send the gold to the mansion after receiving the deed from the prince." ”

Everyone saw that Su Muchun had mortgaged the palace, if they were still pretending to be fans of the emperor......
