Manager Qiu's body was shocked, and he smiled embarrassedly: "The prince is joking, I am looking forward to the prince and the third lady returning home as soon as possible day and night." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" shook his head and sighed: "Say something that shouldn't be said, if the prince and the third lady don't come back, the Hou Mansion will be tossed by Aunt Qiong." ”

Yang Ning asked: "Manager Qiu, I heard that you are the son inheriting your father's business, and your father was also the head of the Hou Mansion back then. ”

"Yes, my father and I have been serving in the Hou Mansion for two generations." Manager Qiu sighed with emotion: "The old marquis and the general are as kind to our father and son, and it is difficult to repay them in this life." ”

Yang Ning said with a smile: "Manager Qiu, who do you think is more suitable to inherit the title, me or Qi Yu?" ”

Manager Qiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "How can Qi Yu compare with the prince? The prince is the heir chosen by the general, and it is reasonable that the prince should inherit the title. ”

"Manager Qiu, you don't mean what you say, right?" Yang Ning smiled: "Let me ask you, do you know Zhao Yuan?" ”

"Zhao Yuan?" Manager Qiu's body shook, "Shizi, I'm ...... I haven't heard of this person. ”

"Zhao Yuan is the account office of the old mansion, and you have always been in contact with the old house, and you don't even know the account office of the old house?" Gu Qinghan finally asked coldly.

When Mr. Qiu heard this, he patted his head and said, "Yes, as soon as the third lady reminded me, I remembered that there seems to be such a person." It was my negligence, I only knew that there was a Mr. Zhao, and I really didn't ask what the name was. ”

"Since you know Zhao Yuan, of course you also know Qi Cheng." Yang Ning said: "Manager Qiu, I heard that the old manager Qi Hong had a stroke three years ago and was sent to Jingzhou City to recuperate, and now the person in charge of the old mansion is the son of the old manager Qi Hong, called Qi Cheng, you don't know this, right?" ”

Manager Qiu frowned and said, "Is there such a thing? Explained: "Shizi, third lady, the old mansion sends someone to send tax money every year, and I will personally take stock and check it, but I haven't heard that the old manager has had a stroke?" ”

"You don't know Qi Cheng, how do you know Zhao Yuan?" Yang Ning said lightly: "Don't you know that Zhao Yuan is hired by Qi Cheng?" ”

"I really don't know about this, it's just that they sent tax money, and I accounted with them, and they mentioned that the accounts of the old mansion were taken care of by a person named Mr. Zhao." Manager Qiu's face did not change, and said: "Third lady, there are many things in the Hou Mansion, and the old mansion is also a little negligent, this is my fault after all, the third lady and the prince are punished." ”

Yang Ning sneered, and suddenly roared: "Manager Qiu, are you still not honest? ”

In this life, he was full of anger and shocked, and Manager Qiu was startled and knelt on the ground, "Shizi, I have been in the mansion for many years, I am loyal, and I have never deceived what Shizi said. Turning to Gu Qinghan, he said, "Third Madam, you know my loyalty to the Hou Mansion over the years, if something is wrong, you can punish it, but ......!" ”

At this moment, I saw Qi Feng come in and said, "The prince, the third lady, Aunt Qiong and the little prince have gone out." ”

"They're gone?" Yang Ning said: "Didn't go to find Mrs. Tai? ”

Qi Feng said: "No, they didn't bring anything, I followed for a while, and they seemed to be going to the third old lady." ”

"I went to find a helper." Yang Ning smiled: "That's fine, I'm about to go to him, if he comes by himself, I don't have to run there myself." He added, "The person who brought it must be taken care of." ”

Qi Feng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have .......!" ”

Without waiting for Qi Feng to finish speaking, Yang Ning waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and when Qi Feng retreated, Yang Ning asked Chief Manager Qiu: "Chief Manager Qiu, do you know who I asked Qi Feng to take care of?" ”

"No..... Ignorance! ”

Yang Ning smiled and said slowly, "Haven't you seen Zhao Yuan?" I brought him this time, so you can get to know him. ”

Gu Qinghan was stunned, but she was smart and instantly understood Yang Ning's thoughts.

What Yang Ning asked Qi Feng to take care of was obviously a black and ugly man, but he used this to tell Chief Manager Qiu that he had brought Zhao Yuan, which was obviously a test of Chief Manager Qiu.

Manager Qiu's face changed slightly, but he still smiled reluctantly: "The prince brought Zhao ...... Mr. Zhao is back? ”

"But Zhao Yuan confessed, he knows you." Yang Ning said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, we encountered something in Jiangling, and this son almost died there, but fortunately, God favored me and let me turn the corner." Do you know who is trying to harm me? ”

"No..... Ignorance. The corners of Mr. Qiu's eyes twitched, "Shizi Jiren is a natural appearance, he won't ..... It's going to be fine. ”

Yang Ning smiled: "Don't you know, something strange happened to the old mansion, the old boss is in charge of that son, by the way, it is that Qi Cheng, who turned out to be impersonated, and that Mr. Zhao, it is Zhao Yuan, it turns out that he is the mastermind behind it." I escaped the catastrophe and mobilized men from Gangneung Taishou to wipe out these rebels. Leaning forward, he smiled and said: "Under torture, Zhao Yuan confessed a lot honestly, do you know that they hid from the Hou Mansion and actually collected forty percent of the taxes in Fengyi, but in order not to make the Hou Mansion suspicious, they have handed over a lot of taxes to the Hou Mansion in recent years." ”

The corners of Mr. Qiu's eyes twitched, and he said, "Those people..... Those people are really hateful, and they should be ..... They should all be killed. ”

"That's not possible, if they are all killed, many truths will not be asked." Yang Ning said with a smile: "They told me that in fact, this year's tax money has been sent to the capital, and it has been handed over to the Qi family, but it has not been handed over to the Hou Mansion." ”

Mr. Qiu: "Could it be ..... Don't......! ”

"Could it be what?" Yang Ning forced Manager Qiu to look at him.

Manager Qiu hurriedly said: "It's nothing, Shizi, where is the tax money now?" ”

"Don't worry, I will take back a lot of the tax silver, but it will be stored somewhere else temporarily." Yang Ning said: "By the way, Zhao Yuan also mentioned your ......!" ”

Manager Qiu suddenly changed color, and said in a lost voice: "Shizi, don't believe his words, he is framing a good person, I don't have ..... I have absolutely no personal contact with him, Shizi, this kind of person should be killed with a knife, and he will never be kept. ”

"Framing good guys?" Gu Qinghan sneered beside him, "Manager Qiu, you don't even know what he said, how do you know that he will frame you?" What do you think he would say? ”

Manager Qiu was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.

Gu Qinghan sighed lightly and said, "It turned out to be really you, it turned out that Zhao Yuan's eyeliner in the Hou Mansion turned out to be you?" Huo Ran got up and said angrily: "Qiu Yi, where is the Hou Mansion sorry for you?" Except for me, the Hou Mansion is all taken care of by you, your father and son have served in the Hou Mansion for two generations, whether it is the old Hou Ye or the general, there is no one who can't stand you, why do you still eat inside and outside and collude with those people? ”

Yang Ning tried it, although Manager Qiu had not yet admitted it, Gu Qinghan had already confirmed that Manager Qiu was a traitor who secretly colluded with Zhao Yuan.

encountered a catastrophe in Jiangling this time, and there was the shadow of Manager Qiu behind it, which made Gu Qinghan angry.

Manager Qiu hurriedly said, "Third lady, I'm ..... I really didn't have any private contact with Zhao Yuan, I just thought that those people had lost their conscience and would definitely ..... I'm going to be slandered. ”

Yang Ning sighed: "Manager Qiu, do you want to bring Zhao Yuan to you before you confess?" In any case, you have been in the Hou Mansion for many years, not only for the sake of your service to the Hou Mansion for so many years, but also for your father's face, and this matter will be handled as low-key as possible. If you confess now, I promise that I won't hurt you, but if I wait for Zhao Yuan to come over and confront you, I will have to hand over the two of you to the government. ”

Manager Qiu lowered his head and was silent, Yang Ning shook his head and said loudly: "Someone, ask Qi Feng to bring that person over.....!" ”

"Shizi, Shizi, and slow!" Manager Qiu Huo Ran raised his head, with a frightened look on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "I.... I don't dare to hide it, in fact..... Actually, it's all ..... This is all caused by the three old ladies behind their backs, I ..... I am also forced to be helpless, please spare me. ”

"Third old lady?" Gu Qinghan's phoenix eyes were raised, "Qiu Yi, don't bite people indiscriminately here." ”

Qiu Yi said: "Third lady, it was really caused by the third old lady. Hurriedly said: "The third old lady is bent on letting Qi Yu inherit the title, so ..... So I have been targeting the prince, I do know Zhao Yuan, and I already know that the person named Qi Cheng takes care of the old house, but I really don't know that they are raising taxes privately. ”

"Why did the third old lady let Qi Yu replace me?" Yang Ning had already put away his smile and said coldly: "What is the deal behind this?" ”

"Yes, Qi Yu..... Qi Yu and Aunt Qiong promised the third old lady that as long as he inherited the title, half of the tax revenue of the fiefdom would be taken out and handed over to the third old lady. Qiu Yi said: "The third old lady's current tax is only 500 households, and when Qi Yu inherits the title, it will increase to 1,500 households, in addition, half of the private land of the marquis mansion in Jiangling will also be divided into half of the third old lady's house." ”

Gu Qinghan's breathing was short of breath at this time, his chest rose and fell, and he said angrily: "You didn't lie? ”

"Don't dare to deceive." Qiu Yi said with a bitter face: "Aunt Qiong also promised that she would give me 200 households alone and give me 800 acres of land, I.... I was blinded by lard for a while, and then they pulled me into the water. ”

"All of this was negotiated after the death of the Great General?" Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "Otherwise, if the general is alive, even if you play tricks, Qi Yu will not be able to inherit the title." But you've been in private contact for three years at the old mansion, so it's impossible that you have only recently discussed it. ”

Qiu Yi said: "The third lady Mingjian, is the third old lady, three years ago the Northern Han people called, the general went out to fight the enemy, at that time the third old lady said that the general was injured, if he cultivated for a few years, he might be able to live, but just like that, even if he did not die in battle, he worked day and night, he would definitely not live long." After a pause, he stopped talking.

"What else, don't say it soon."

Qiu Yi hurriedly said: "The third old lady also said that although the Qinhuai Legion of Chu State is the commander of the general, it is not monolithic, although most of the soldiers are very in awe of the general, but ..... However, it is difficult to guarantee that some of them are dissatisfied with the general, and the general goes out on the expedition, but there is no return, so from the day the general goes out, he is ready to let Qi Yu take the son and replace him. ”
