This is a good reason for impeachment.

However, Ji Qingwen also prepared a set of justification for this early.

I just heard him not panic and said: "Gonggong Shen, let me ask you, if you go to live in the Qinglou, must you be staying in a prostitute?" ”

"Otherwise?" Shen Liangzuo asked rhetorically.

Ji Qingwen smiled: "For example, if my father-in-law goes to the Qinglou, will he stay with a prostitute?" ”

He said this to the biggest pain point of the eunuch eunuch, and as soon as the words came out, not only Shen Liangzuo, but even Han Zanzhou frowned.

Ji Qingwen glanced at the slight change in the expressions on the faces of the two of them, and then continued: "This is a gaffe. But the truth is the same. Don't hide it from the two fathers-in-law, Nanjing City is a gold cave, and Xiaguan does not have so much money to stay in the guest house. Fortunately, Xia Guan recently married a wife and concubine, and he originally made a living in the 'Jade Courtyard' on the bank of the Qinhuai River, so he lived there by the way, which was also considered to save a few room money. ”

Shen Liangzuo sneered and said: "Lord Ji is also a five-rank official of the imperial court, how can a person who speaks loudly in front of the emperor marry a woman from a Qinglou as his wife?" Don't be kidding, right? ”

Ji Qingwen didn't care at all, and said: "My eldest wife is not an ordinary Qinglou woman. Although Gonggong Shen lives in Beijing, Gonggong Shen has always heard of the name of 'Hedongjun' Liu, right? Oh, by the way, Grandpa Han is a well-known figure in Nanjing, he must know it, right? ”

Han Zanzhou remained silent, or Shen Liangzuo's Chengfu was a little shallower, he was stunned when he heard it, and blurted out: "Liu is so? Could it be Liu Ruyi, one of the 'Qin Huai Bayan'? ”

"It's the 'first'." Ji Qingwen corrected.

Han Zanzhou on the side took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I didn't expect that the adult is so generous, he can redeem himself for Liu Hedong, and he will marry her." Isn't it too hurtful for an adult to do this? ”

Ji Qingwen listened to Han Zanzhou's words lukewarmly, but his tone was very heavy, so he didn't dare to slack off, and explained: "Liu Ru is actually not an ordinary woman. Their Liu family was originally also an official eunuch family, but it was because of the bad deeds of Zhang Jiangling (Zhang Juzheng) that they were demoted to lowly status and lived here. Today's Holy Emperor is gracious, and last year he issued an order to rehabilitate Zhaoxue in the case of Zhang Lao Xianggong, and all the sins he was implicated in were also forgiven. The two fathers-in-law should know about this matter, right? ”

Shen Liangzuo was in the ceremonial supervisor at that time, and Han Zanzhou was the head of the eunuchs in Jiangnan, with the status of these two people, of course they knew about this important matter.

Seeing that they nodded yes, Ji Qingwen continued: "Xiaguan and Liu Ru originally had some friendship, so I thought that the emperor had a special decree to pardon her lowly status, and spent money to ransom her, so he married her. ”

In terms of etiquette, the eunuchs were already more relaxed than those of the Donglin Party, and listened to Ji

Qingwen's explanation was also relieved.

However, Shen Liangzuo was still unsatisfied, and asked: "Liu Ru is the leader of the flower country, I don't know how much silver Lord Ji spent to redeem her?" ”

"300,000 taels of silver ......"

Ji Qingwen was just about to say this, but he thought that "300,000 taels of silver" was not a small amount, if Shen Liangzuo and Han Zanzhou knew that they were rich to this extent, maybe they would bring trouble to themselves.

So Ji Qingwen reluctantly swallowed this sentence back and said, "It didn't cost much." My eldest wife had already saved some silver taels herself, and the old bustard Ma Xianglan had some handles in my hands, so I only paid a total of 30,000 taels of silver. ”

"Yo! Thirty thousand taels! Shen Liangzuo actually exclaimed, "It is said that 'three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver', Lord Ji runs a Songjiang Dianshan Port, oh, there is also a Suzhou weaving yamen, it has only been a few years, and you can easily take out 30,000 taels of silver." Tsk, that's a ......."

There is a saying that "a full man does not know that a hungry man is hungry".

After Ji Qingwen traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, he took a lot of risks, overcame difficulties that were not difficult, and made no more friends, which brought him to this point, earning more than 1.5 million taels of silver a year, although the expenditure in all aspects has also been greatly improved, but he can be regarded as a rich man.

But that Shen Liangzuo is also a celebrant eunuch, a successful person among the eunuchs, he would be frightened and exclaimed by the amount of "30,000 taels" of silver, if he knew that Ji Qingwen ransomed Liu Ru and spent a full 30,000 taels of silver, he would not be so frightened that he exploded on the spot?

Therefore, Ji Qingwen suddenly felt that although this Shen Liangzuo was also a well-known figure in the Jingshi, his vision was not very high, even if he couldn't be squeezed out, at worst, he could only be bought for tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingwen felt that he had gained a lot from coming to Nanjing City this time.

So Ji Qingwen had some bottom in his heart, so he changed his words and said to Han Zanzhou: "Gonggong Han, you are the most famous person in Nanjing City. This time, when the official came to Nanjing City, he also changed the cheap status of my eldest wife by the way, and asked Han Gonggong to say hello to the Nanjing household department when the time came. ”

Han Zanzhou is an old eunuch who serves Emperor Chongzhen, since the emperor has a special will, then he naturally can't refuse Ji Qingwen's request, and said: "Long live Lord has a will, just go to the Yamen of the household department to hand over." If anyone who is not long-sighted dares to resist and disobey, although Lord Ji comes over to tell the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family naturally wants him to look good. ”

With this sentence, Ji Qingwen did one more thing, so he said a few words and withdrew.

Escorted by ten heavily armed cronies, Ji Qingwen withdrew from the mountain gate and saw Li Yan and Li Yuanyinyu

Drinking tea in front of the tea stall at the entrance of Jiming Temple, he happily walked up and joked: "The two of you said a lot of things when you went down, and I said that my mouth was dry, who invited me to drink a bowl of herbal tea?" ”

Li Yan beckoned the tea stall owner to serve tea, and said with a smile: "Brother Ji is in such a good mood, presumably Shen Liangzuo is not a bad person, right?" ”

Ji Qingwen also replied with a smile: "Bad people, good people don't need to talk about him, anyway, he is not a capable person." Brother Li, it seems that Shen Liangzuo is not difficult to deal with. ”

Saying that, Ji Qingwen looked at Li Yuanyin coldly and said, "Commander Li, you can do it here, but don't turn your head and report what you are talking about to other people!" ”

Li Yuanyin looked embarrassed, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Lord Ji's words, I don't know where to start......

Li Yan rarely said a good word for Li Yuanyin: "Brother Ji, don't worry. Although Jin Yiwei often condescended to the East Factory, he looked down on the eunuchs in his heart. What's more, the current command of Jinyiwei makes Luo Yangxing deeply trusted by the emperor, and he will not have anything to do with the eunuchs. ”

Li Yuanyin listened to it and said with great emotion: "Mr. Li said this very right, and what he said was extremely ......."

When Ji Qingwen heard this, he felt a little relieved, so he elaborated on the conversation with Shen Liangzuo, and finally summed it up: "It seems that this Shen Liangzuo has never seen the world, it is good that we can squeeze him out, but we can't squeeze him out, give him twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver a year, and we will deal with it." ”

Li Yan pulled out the folding fan in his hand, slightly fanned the hot air coming out of the 10,000 hot tea in front of him, and asked unhurriedly: "Just such a character, why does Brother Ji need to squeeze him away?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ji Qingwen asked.

Li Yan showed a strange smile: "If Shen Liangzuo is squeezed out, the emperor will naturally send another person over." Brother Ji might as well think about it, is it a mediocre person? Or is it better to have a shrewd person? ”

Ji Qingwen already understood what Li Yan meant, and replied: "Of course, it's better to be a mediocre person." But since Shen Liangzuo is already a stupid person, there is no need to replace him. Now the question is, how to put him in the air......"

"There are many ways to watch the fire from the other side, indulge in lust, and create something out of nothing...... Brother Ji made me want to spend the night, and I can come up with one or twenty for you without saying anything. ”

Ji Qingwen was happy to hear it and said, "Okay, I'll invite you to these bowls of tea today!" ”

After a few people drank the tea in front of them, the group returned to the "Jade Courtyard" on the bank of the Qinhuai River.

Ji Qingwen saw that it was still early, so he called Liu Rushi, with the emperor's handwritten decree, and made a special trip to the Yamen of the Household Department in Nanjing.
