Chapter 158: Ultimatum

Time flies quickly, in the blink of an eye, three days have passed, Hongqing, who has killed Jining City violently, has not taken the slightest initiative, and has not even taken half a step out of the post station, at least on the surface, no one knows what medicine is sold in Hongqing's gourd, and a group of Hecao officials are suspicious, but they have not less ganged up to go to the post station to ask for a meeting, in order to find out how the wind is going, how can Hongqing not see any guests, that is, Marseille, who was elected by everyone, also ate a closed door, such a situation, The officials of the river and Cao can't help but muttered a little - if the Qincha next to him behaves like this, the big guy may not care much, just when the Qincha is helpless, but Hongqing is obviously not a good talker, although the person is small, but the scheming is very deep, and I don't know how many big things have been done in the past few years.

Idle and have nothing to do? Of course not, don't look at Hongqing's gate without going out of the door, it seems to be very free, but in fact it is not the case, outside the eyes of everyone, Hongqing is very busy, not to mention communicating privately with Chen Qidong and others, not to mention arranging the "sharp knife" Shandong rudder to attack, just writing the chapter makes Hongqing busy enough, there is no side, if you want to write all kinds of matters such as river control, water transportation, debt settlement, etc., it is really not an easy job, even if it is just the first draft, it has been sprinkled with tens of thousands of words, Poor Hongqing's little arms are so tired that they can't lift them, no, it's almost noon, Hongqing is still sitting on the desk and reading quickly, and he can't bother to wipe it with sweat on his head, it's really pitiful.

"Little Lord Qi, Lord Liang is here."

Just when Hongqing was dizzy to write, he saw Liu San'er jumping out from behind the screen at the door, and jumped to Hongqing's side in a few big strides, smiling with a thief's eyebrows, and whispering.

Hehe, this guy finally can't bear it, interesting!

As soon as he heard that Liangzhu had arrived, there was no need to ask, Hongqing also knew what his intention was, and he was just here to find out the rumors, but there was nothing unusual about it, but Liangzhu was different from the officials below, he was the governor of Tejian, but he couldn't be turned away, of course, Hongqingyuan didn't plan to delay any longer, because everything that should have been prepared was almost ready, and it was time to close the net.

"Let him in."

Hongqing casually put the pen in his hand on the pen stand, rubbed his wrist, and then quietly commanded.

"Okay, let's do it for the little ones."

Liu San'er is noisy by nature, these days are about to come down, and he has long been itchy and hard to scratch, this listening to Hongqing's instructions, he immediately knew that the show was about to start, how could he be unhappy, he hurriedly responded, and rushed out of the room in a puff of smoke.

"Hey, this kid is still so rough!"

Seeing Liu San'er running so anxiously, Hongqing couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she didn't bother to say anything to correct her, and after laughing and scolding, she reached out and picked up the freshly written notebook on the copy, dried the ink, and put it into her wide sleeves.

"Xiaguan knocks to see the little prince!"

Liangzhu came quickly, and after a while, he was accompanied by Liu San'er from behind the screen, and when he saw Hongqing, who was sitting behind the copywriter, a trace of gloom immediately flashed between his eyebrows, but he didn't dare to lose his courtesy, so he could only walk to the front and pay homage according to the rules of the court.

"Excuse me, come here, and give a seat to Lord Liang."

Speaking of Hongqing and Liangzhu actually do not have any personal grudges, and there is no old enmity, but it is a pity that the positions of the two sides are different, destined to be opponents, or the kind of opponents who are difficult to compromise, just because one has to pay off, one neither wants to pay back, nor can it be repaid, two times a collision, it is inevitable that the egg will touch the stone, as for who is the egg, who is the stone, then you have to fight to know, but the opponent is the opponent, the big guys are all people in the court, and the decentness of the due respect still has to be paid attention to, and because of this, Hongqing didn't give Liangzhu a look, but bowed politely and greeted him very kindly.

"Thank you, little prince, for giving me a seat."

If possible, Liangzhu is killed and does not want to come to see Hongqing, not to say that Hongqing people are small and big, it is difficult to see through, just say that he Liangzhu is a special Jane is a second-class member, and everywhere he goes, he is a majestic character, it can be seen that Hongqing, a child who is less than ten years old, but he has to kneel once, and his heart is not very cool, but he can't come now, and now the people in the Yamen are panicked, and nothing can be done, and then so many drag on for a few days, the consequences will be a little unbearable, because of this, although he is full of reluctance to come, Liangzhu could only come hard-headed, and when Hongqing called up, he also got up, and after thanking him, he sat on the Taishi chair on the side, making a posture of listening to Hongqing's instructions.

"What can you teach me here?"

What should be said, Hongqing had already said it in the meeting three days ago, and at this time, he didn't want to spend that lip and tongue anymore, and when he saw Liangzhu put on such a respectful posture, he secretly laughed in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, but he just asked in a calm voice.

"Don't dare, it's just that the little prince has been here for a long time, and he must finally get a charter to come out, and the lower officials can arrange for all the officials to return to their own ways, otherwise, it is not a trick to delay the transportation of the important things."

What Liangzhu is most worried about now is that Hongqing will play the word "drag", not too much, drag it for a month, and the entire Hecao Yamen will have to be completely messed up.

"Well, what Lord Liang is worried about is that the matter really can't be delayed for a long time, if it really affects the luck of Cao, then Ben Beizi will be to blame for his death, well, in the opinion of Lord Liang, how to finish the mission of paying off the debt, Huang Mafa is waiting in the capital."

Hongqing is not so easy to run, following Liangzhu's words, he only turned a corner, and in turn took Liangzhu's army.

"Hmmm......"

As soon as he heard Hongqing say this, Liangzhu was suddenly furious, but when he thought of Hongqing's identity as a messenger, how could he be presumptuous, and in desperation, he could only let out a nasal voice with incomprehensible meaning.

"Ryo-sama, please advise!"

Hongqing didn't care what Liangzhu's mood was, so he added another sentence reluctantly, which immediately made Liangzhu's face instantly suffocate red and purple.

"This little prince's mission is also, and the lower officials don't dare to put their beaks."

was forced into the corner by Hongqing with such a kick on his nose and face, although Liangzhu was extremely unhappy in his heart, he couldn't remain silent anymore, so he said angrily.

"It's good for Lord Liang to have this understanding, before this Beizi came, Huang Ma Fa had a will, on the matter of paying off the debt, this Beizi has the authority to control the river Cao Yamen, today, Lord Liang has scruples about the luck of the matter, this Beizi is not good to postpone more, so good, please ask Lord Liang to announce, tomorrow is the last time to pay off the debt, early the day after tomorrow, there is no action, then don't blame Ben Beizi for not being emotional, that's all, Lord Liang will please take care of himself."

Hongqing is such a foolish master, he doesn't eat Liangzhu's set at all, he doesn't leave him the slightest affection, his face is solemn, and the words with obvious threats have already been said, and as soon as the words fell, he didn't give Liangzhu a chance to defend himself, and with a copy of his hand, he had already put the tea bowl up and put on a posture of sending off guests.

"Farewell to the official!"

Liangzhu was already angry with Hongqing, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he really wanted to slap the table and quarrel with Hongqing, but he didn't have the guts, so he had no choice but to get up, salute, and then angrily turned back to the river trough yamen not far away.

"Ryō-sama is here!"

"Lady Liang, how is the situation?"

"Lord Liang, what is that little guy's plan for?"

……

Dozens of officials at all levels in the yamen of the river trough were gathering in the back hall waiting for news, and when they saw that Liangzhu was about to come in, they immediately surrounded him in an uproar, and asked questions endlessly.

"Hmph, there is an order, tomorrow is the deadline, and those who fail to pay off their debts will bear the consequences!"

Liangzhu held his breath at Hongqing's place, and when he was so troubled by the officials at this time, he broke out, stomped his foot violently, and roared with a dark face.

"Ah, this, this ......"

"Ryū-sama, what do you think this should be?"

"Lord Liang, you have to make the decision for the lower officials."

……

As soon as they heard Liangzhu's words, all the officials were stunned at first, and then they immediately shouted in a gossipy, until Liangzhu's head became bigger.

"Princess, be quiet, be quiet, listen to me, this matter must not be underestimated, that little guy has always been treacherous, we must not mess with ourselves, we must work together to overcome this difficulty, only we act as one, do not obey orders, forgive it and help me what, at this time, it is the right way to respond to all changes without change, we all listen to the good lord, everything has its own good lord will be the master for us!"

In the noisy chaos, I saw Nanhe Daoist Chen Minxin waving his hands and shouting loudly to cheer everyone up, just as he spoke, he had unceremoniously put the responsibility on Liangzhu's head, and the impurity of his intentions was obvious, and the left and right were just to force Liangzhu to go to Hongqing together.

"What Lord Chen said is that we all listen to Lord Liang!"

"Lord Liang, you just take a charter, and the lower officials and others are only obeyed by the orders of the adults!"

"Yes, we must not let that little guy run rampant, I'll wait for Lord Tingliang!"

……

A group of officials don't want to be paid off, and they don't want to go to Hongqing alone, this has Chen Minxin taking the lead, naturally they are happy to push the responsibility to Liangzhu's body, such a situation really makes Liangzhu angry, and he really has the heart to kill, but it is about his own official hat and family wealth, but Liangzhu can't back down a little in this matter, so he can only snort coldly, flick his sleeves, and angrily turn into the back hall, leaving only a group of officials in the front hall stunned in a daze.
