Chapter 32: Revenge
Chapter 32: Revenge
"Gao Gong, our family is inseparable from you!" Feng Bao's face was distorted, and he stretched out his hand to grab the teacup next to him to vent the fire, but he didn't get it when he grabbed it today, and when he looked back, he found that the table was empty, but it was Feng Bao who had just gotten up to see Song Qingyang, who came to see him, and the maid in the house didn't have time to serve tea to his old man.
This made Feng Bao feel embarrassed, and the first two steps of his body were a big slap on the face of the maid who was waiting on the side, and he scolded angrily: "Things that don't have eyesight, come on, pull them out and fight!" ”
Seeing that the maid who begged for mercy was dragged out by two tiger-backed fans, Song Qingyang, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, fortunately he had just opened his mouth to show his merit, otherwise he would have been afraid that such an end would be his own.
"Father-in-law, what should we do, we can't just let the high arch master and apprentice ride on the head!" Song Qingyang asked cautiously, compared to Gao Gong and Shen Chongming, he was really a bit of a humble position now, and he didn't dare to provoke these two people even if he had any ideas.
But Feng Bao is different, you must know that he is an old man who has been around the emperor for more than 20 years, and he has won the emperor's trust, and he is not much better than Gao Gong. Although Gao Gong is now almost in control of the cabinet as a secondary, and the power is not the same for a while, but Feng Bao is not bad, it is really hard, who wins and who loses is still unknown, and whether he wins or loses, he will stay out of the matter, such a thing, why not?
"Hmph, I dare to touch the people of our family, if our family lets go of his face, this time we must retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, and dismiss his people from office to relieve the hatred in my heart!" Feng Bao gritted his teeth and said, turned his head to look at Song Qingyang and asked, "Qingyang, do you have any good way to get out of this evil breath for our family!" ”
Song Qingyang was waiting for this sentence, pretending to ponder and said, "Father-in-law, wasn't there a thorough carriage and horse shop in the case involving Ouyang Jingzhi not long ago?" Xiaguan has always felt that this name is a little familiar, and a few days ago, he suddenly thought that Xiao Pengcheng, the owner of this accessible carriage and horse dealership, was Xiaguan's classmate when he was in Guozijian! ”
Feng Bao raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but be interested: "Hehe, a young man can do such a big business, it's really a rare talent!" ”
Song Qingyang laughed, patted his farts and said: "Father-in-law, don't take the examination for the lower officials, how can an ordinary man do business like this so easily!" ”
Feng Bao laughed: "What you said is reasonable, there must be officials of the imperial court behind this to escort him, since he is your classmate, then he is also Shen Chongming's classmate, these two are only afraid that the relationship is not shallow!" ”
"Hehe, father-in-law is really high-minded, this Xiao Pengcheng and Shen Chongming are like brothers, the two of them were embarrassed back then, relying on Gao Gong's trust to bring disaster to the country's eunuchs, but many classmates were bullied by them, but later Xiao Pengcheng gave up writing and engaged in business, and did not participate in the Spring Festival of that year, I didn't expect that he would have today's daily gold in just a few years with the support of Shen Chongming, hum, just shit luck!" A trace of viciousness flashed in Song Qingyang's eyes, compared to them, he could be regarded as having achieved nothing, what a great irony!
"Hehe, that's really the case, then what evidence do you have in hand that is familiar with the carriage and horse trade, especially the evidence of Shen Chongming's involvement!" Feng Bao asked with great interest.
You must know that Shen Chong's famous official Lu Hengtong is like this, and he still supports people to open shops on the bright side to make money, which shows how much he loves silver, how can such a person pay taxes according to the rules, how can he buy and sell fairly, and how many bad things he has done over the years?
Song Qingyang smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from your father-in-law, the customs officials under the tax payment account books of the household department have been checked, and the Tongda Carriage and Horse Shop has paid a total of more than 200,000 taels of silver in taxes over the years, and the annual taxes are higher than the previous year, I'm afraid there is nothing to be found in this!" ”
Feng Bao couldn't help but be stunned and said in surprise: "What? A total of more than 200,000 taels of taxes were paid! "You must know that the laws of the Ming Dynasty are ten taxes for merchants, if this is true, then Tongda Carriage and Horse Shop has earned more than two million taels of silver over the years.
That's it, if they hide the amount of taxes, it will be far more than that: "Qingyang! You read that right! Feng Bao asked with a wooden expression, he really didn't believe that a shop could make such a lot of silver, the most valuable thing in these years was the land, and the richest people were also those big landlords with thousands of acres of fertile land in their families, even among them there were few rich people with millions of family assets, a businessman could earn so much silver, no one would believe it!
Song Qingyang nodded with a bitter face, don't say that Feng Bao didn't believe it, even when he first saw this number, he was a little surprised, and after reading it several times and inquiring about the people in the household department, he dared to be sure that it was not wrong.
Seeing him like this, Feng Bao believed it, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a good means, it's really a good way to make money, tsk, it's a pity!" The second half of the sentence is not embarrassed to say, if this transaction is his own, how good it would be!
"Qingyang, isn't it strictly forbidden for officials to do business, Ouyang Jingzhi was pulled off by Shen Chongming because of this a few days ago, can we also repay him in his own way!" Feng Bao thought for a while and said, this time not only to take revenge on Gao Gong, but also to take this deal into his own hands.
Song Qingyang was waiting for his words, otherwise he wouldn't have been idle and didn't mention this stubble, but if he wanted to pull Shen Chongming down on this basis alone, it would be a fool's dream: "What my father-in-law said is reasonable, but the lower officials think that we had better collect more evidence of the crime, in that case, it will be foolproof!" ”
"Well, do as you say!" Feng Bao nodded, and then raised his voice: "Someone!" ”
instructed his subordinates to find ways to collect evidence of the crime of Tongda Che Ma Xing, and Feng Bao then discussed with Song Qingyang what to do about this matter.
"Father-in-law, according to the lower officials' opinions, after we have the evidence of Shen Chongming and the crime of Da Da Che Ma Xing, it is best to arrange some other things to join it, and then the lower officials will organize officials to impeach Shen Chongming, and then wait for the right time to throw out this matter, and then add guilt to crime, and it will be much easier to take down Shen Chongming!" Song Qingyang had already figured out the countermeasures.
"Well, that's reasonable, hehe, this matter is handed over to Dongchang, and it's not easy to get caught on a few charges!" Feng Bao was proud, as if Shen Chongming had been convicted, and Tongda Carriage and Horse Shop had also become an industry under his name.
"Yes, then the lower official will go back and make arrangements, and when everything is ready, it will be the day of your shame father-in-law!" Song Qingyang couldn't hide the spring breeze on his face, and such a thing was made up by himself.
Zhenjiang Mansion, on the outskirts of the city, the courtyard has been crowded with people since the evening, and Zhao Ziqian's house is even more crowded with people.
"Alas! How so? Zhao Wenyi walked around anxiously, didn't he look up at the door, the righteous daughter had a difficult birth, how could he, as a father-in-law, not be in a hurry?
"Eighth brother, sister, why am I not in a hurry to see you at all?" That Luo Yiyi looked at Selangjun who was standing aside with a strange look in his eyes and asked.
Selangjun glanced at her, and said angrily: "How can the little brother not be in a hurry, what's the use of being in a hurry for such a thing, I can only pray to God for blessing!" ”
As he spoke, not only did he not pray in his heart, but he kept cursing, hoping that the slut in the house would be the same as that
