The three brothers discussed for a while, and the third asked tentatively, "Can't you let the south give some of it?" ”

Qin Lei shook his head and said, "I was still fighting for the burden reduction of the south a few days ago, how can I ask for money in the blink of an eye?" Is not the burden I give a burden? ”

The third child had no choice but to do it, and the fourth child suddenly said: "You don't have to take out these silver at once, and the construction period will be extended to two and a half years, if you plan properly, as long as you prepare the first payment of one million taels, and then prepare five hundred thousand taels every six months." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Qin Lei pondered: "One million taels can still be borrowed, but the five hundred thousand taels every six months in the future are still not settled." Said with an embarrassed smile: "In the past two years, brother, I have borrowed everything I can, I'm afraid I won't be able to borrow so much." ”

Lao Sihao smiled angrily: "Although 500,000 taels is a huge amount of money, it is not a difficult matter, just embezzle it from the inner mansion." "The true nature of the big embezzler is revealed.

Qin Lei smacked his tongue secretly when he saw it, and said in his heart, I'm afraid that he won't be as greedy as he is, will Lao Tzu dare to hand over the business to him? It turns out that the trade department of the museum has been lacking a principal, although the museum pottery is both, the operation is not a problem, but the energy of the basic perfect business network is far from being brought into play.

At this time, the third child suddenly sighed and said softly: "Fourth brother, there is something I haven't said for fear that you will be angry, and the inner mansion has been taken back by my father." ”

Qin Ji's face suddenly became gloomy, and he asked in a low voice, "Who did you hand it over?" Second brother? ”

Qin Lin nodded. Most of the royal business is a monopoly business, and the daily income of ten thousand gold has always been managed by the royal children, and it has always been the most eye-catching, this time the prince took the opportunity of the fall of the fourth child to pass, and he had nothing to say.

The fourth gritted his teeth and said: "As soon as the inner mansion was cleaned up, some people wanted to pick up the peaches on the ground." ”

The third brother smiled at Qin Lei and said, "Last time in the court, didn't the second brother stand up and speak to us later?" When his father and queen came to Longyan Dayue, he rewarded him with the inner house. He whispered: "It is said that the commander of the ironclad army will also be replaced by the prince's brother-in-law." ”

Qin Lei was surprised: "When did it happen, why didn't I know at all?" ”

The third child chuckled and said, "This matter is just an intention, and a few people in question know about it." If it weren't for the eyeliner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I wouldn't have known. "When it comes to listening to the news from the upper echelons, the third child is afraid that he is the most powerful character in Daqin - the Inner Servant Province already has the responsibility of sending fine works to the prince's mansion, and these eyes and ears hidden in the eunuchs and palace maids cannot be guarded against at all.

Hearing the news, Qin Lei suddenly lost his interest in talking, and said to the third and fourth elders: "I'm coming back in a hurry, I have to go back tomorrow, and I still have some things to deal with today." The third child hurriedly said: "Brother must go." Qin Lei smiled and squeezed his hand, and said softly: "Jingli still has to be taken care of by my brother, and we will drink when we come back for the New Year." Qin Lin nodded, got up and sent Qin Lei out.

The fourth child also got up, looking at Qin Lei pitifully, Qin Lei only didn't see it, and the fourth child had to lower his head and send him out. When he arrived at the door, Qin Lei suddenly said to the officials of Zongzheng Mansion who were waiting outside: "My fourth brother lacks exercise, and he has accumulated a lot of fat at a young age, so it is not okay to go on like this." ”

The official of Zongzheng Mansion hurriedly laughed and said, "Please make it clear to Zongzheng." ”

"I just need some bricks and bulldozers over there, so let's go over and work for reform." Qin Lei said lightly: "I still have the right to change the confinement to hard labor, right?" ”

The official chick nodded like a peck of rice: "Yes, yes." The fourth child was overjoyed when he heard this, and threw a flattering eye at Qin Lei, Qin Lei gave him a big look, and said angrily: "I'll leave tomorrow." Then he shook his hand and walked out. The third child also came out, leaving only the fourth child standing at the door and touching his head stupidly.

The two county kings left the Zongzheng Mansion, boarded the carriage of the king of Zhejun, and drove towards the inner palace.

In the carriage, the third child asked softly: "Fifth brother, what does it mean that my father handed over the Inner Mansion and the Iron Armor Army to the second brother one after another?" ”

Qin Lei smiled faintly: "What else can it mean?" It's a balance. Let me go to the wilderness, and I am afraid that if the tail is too big, I will give the second brother a hard increase, which is nothing unusual. "If you use it, you have to guard against you, even if it is your own son, this is the emperor's heart.

Qin Lin said softly: "Isn't there any forbidden army in the hands of the father?" ”

Qin Lei closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and whispered, "Father Emperor is about to withdraw the Imperial Forest Army. "Emperor Zhaowu gave the hardcore Imperial Forest Army to the Shen family for management, and in exchange for other people's ironclad army, he didn't have any good intentions. Let's ask how the Shen family dares to rectify the emperor's personal soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, which can only be managed in a veritable manner, but Emperor Zhaowu can unscrupulously clean up the ironclad army, it is estimated that it has been almost digested in the past few years, so he simply took back the Royal Forest Army. This is the meaning of the question, and there is nothing surprising about it.

The Shen family was originally a canal family, and they have not had much power in the military circles, and they just replaced the royal army a few years ago, and there will not be much backlash in this matter. At least that's what Emperor Zhaowu would think.

But Qin Lei attaches more importance to the operation method of Emperor Zhaowu behind this, and he is afraid that when he regulates his disciples, this stinky old man will also play such a trick with him. Thinking of this, Qin Lei couldn't help but snort lightly: "Just think about good things." ”

Qin Lin pretended to be confused and asked, "What's a good thing?" ”

Qin Lei knew that he was speechless, and laughed: "It's okay, I said myself." Feeling a burst of heat for no reason, Qin Lei found that the third king's car was tightly sealed, and it was not breathable at all.

When Qin Lin saw it, he quickly opened the window and said with a smile: "It's not stuffy when you blow the wind." After a while, he was already shivering. Qin Lei smiled: "The third brother is too afraid of the cold, right?" As he spoke, he closed the window.

Just as he was closing the window, his eyes unconsciously glanced out, but his hand stopped. I saw that on the bustling street outside, three or four servants in Tsing Yi were coming from the east carrying a pair of door panels.

What attracted Qin Lei's attention was the scarred man lying on the door panel, and he couldn't help but say lightly: "This person seems to be familiar." As he spoke, he asked Qin Wei outside the car to ask one or two.

Who knew that when those servants saw Qin Wei, who was dressed as a black-clothed guard, they actually carried the person on the door panel over with tears in their eyes. A man who looked like a housekeeper in front of him saluted Qin Wei and said excitedly: "This official, can our prince be nearby?" ”

Qin Wei didn't know these people, and frowned when he heard this: "You are?" ”

"We are the ...... of the Xiangyang Bus family"

In the upper room of an inn on the side of the road, a military medical officer was carefully treating the wounds of a man lying on the bed.

Looking at the bloody back, Qin Lei's face was extremely ugly, and he listened to the bus steward choking up and telling what happened to his master.

On the bed was the bus merchant book, he did a period of power in Xiangyang, the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of victims in an orderly manner, the relationship between the gentry and the common people was also handled very properly, so that the governor of Jiangbei Zhuo Wenzheng praised greatly, so he urged him to hurry into Beijing, to the ministry to hang up a false position of a Lang official, and go through this formality.

According to past experience, the filial piety recommended by the local government generally has to stay in Beijing for about half a year to get acquainted with the affairs of the imperial court. Then, after selection, they are appointed to different positions according to the results of the product. However, if the local governor urgently needs this person, he can ask the officials to release him in advance and shorten the inspection period to two or three months.

Therefore, Zhuo Wenzheng took advantage of the fact that he was not busy after the autumn, and asked the bus dealer to go to Beijing for a temporary job, and he could go back before February of the next year, just not to delay the spring sowing, and the abacus was not fine.

But this time he miscalculated, he forgot that the appearance of the bus dealer was a little peculiar, and the first item in the selection of officials at this time was 'visual inspection', and anyone with a disability and a strange appearance would be directly brushed down, and there was no chance to be awarded an official position.

When he was in the south, because he was an official appointed by the prince, he had to look at the face of the Buddha without looking at the monk's face; In addition, he is a native of the local squire, everyone has seen him before he had a stroke, although the gentry and the common people laughed at him behind his back, but they did not dare to be disrespectful on their faces. Later, when I saw that he really had the ability, everyone got used to it.

But the officials of the Ministry of Officials were different, when they saw that he looked strange, they were disgusted, and they heard that he was a filial piety recommended by the south, and they dealt with a few words without saltiness, and let him go back and wait. The bus merchant was grateful to Qin Lei for his kindness, but he didn't want to waste his time, so he went to the ministry every day to inquire, and finally annoyed the officials of the ministry, and ridiculed him fiercely around his appearance.

The bus merchant couldn't listen to others talking about his appearance, and coupled with the grievances of hitting a wall for several days, he quarreled with several members of the ministry, but he alarmed Wen Shangshu, who happened to pass by.

Wen Yantao stopped a few people and asked about the situation, and heard that they were quarreling because of the appearance of filial piety recommended by the local government, so he asked the bus dealer to raise his head and take a look, and couldn't help sneering: "You gave Zhuo Wenzheng the silver, right?" I'm afraid it's no less than 100,000 taels. ”

In one sentence, the bus dealer wrote red ears and choked up: "Xiaguan is the prince appointed by the prince to keep the power of Xiangyang Mansion, because of his political achievements and reputation, he was recommended by Zhuo Futai, but he did not make silver!" ”

"Which prince?" Wen Yantao's face suddenly became gloomy.

Although the bus merchant saw that this adult was showing signs of madness, there was no way back after the words were rushed, so he could only stubbornly say: "His Royal Highness the King of Longwei County." ”

If he had entered Beijing a few days earlier, he might have heard anecdotes on the streets and alleys talking about the 'Longjun Dynasty Hall Battle Sanwen', and he would have been more aggrieved, and he would not have mentioned Qin Lei's name in front of this Lord Wen.

On that day in the Golden Palace, Qin Lei's humiliation and contempt for the Wen family brought too much shame and bad consequences to the Wen family and this Shangshu. Not only the shame of being dragged from the clouds to the mud and ravaged, but also the suspicion and vacillation caused by the hundreds of officials-they began to wonder whether the Wen family really had the strength of the three-legged power, or whether it was used as a buffer zone for the other two families. When they doubted the tree's ability to provide shade, they naturally began to waver in their stance and began to consider whether to change to another tree to enjoy the shade.

Although everything is just a clue, it is impossible for the Wen family, who is the leader of the hundred officials, not to be aware of it, and Prime Minister Wen has been heartbroken about how to eliminate the dissent of officials these days.

Wen Yantao was also racking his brains to help Brother Nai find a way, and at this time, seeing that this ugly-looking and hot-tempered filial piety was actually Qin Lei's disciple, he suddenly felt that the opportunity to establish his might had come.

His wishful thinking is very good, as the saying goes, beating dogs and bullying the master, taking advantage of Qin Lei's little bastard being entangled by Li Hun in Jingshanzhai, he bullied his ugly ghost disciples, and also shocked those wall grass. Even if the little bastard received the letter, it was unlikely that he would come back to settle the account with himself for this little thing.

Having made up his mind in his heart, Wen Yantao put on a contemptuous face, and sarcastically mocked the king of Longwei County, saying how Qin Lei was corrupt and perverted the law, stupid and incompetent, and actually recommended this kind of crooked melon and cracked jujube to the court, which is simply ridiculous and hateful.

The bus merchant regarded Qin Lei as a benevolent father, how could he tolerate Wen Yantao's disrespectful words to the prince, and his heart was full of hatred, and Wen Yantao's bad deeds when he was the governor of Jiangbei, including the death of Zhuang Zhiwu, the former Xiangyang Mansion.

Who in the south didn't know that it was he Wen Yantao who transported all the grain and silver in the treasury to the north, and then there was a case of Zhuang Zhiwu suing Shangguan Zhou Bingchun for embezzlement of treasury silver. Zhou Bingchun actually received it on behalf of others, and had no choice but to get on the governor's thief ship, so he had to slander Zhuang Zhi for not being corrupt and perverting the law under the instruction of Wen Yantao.

Later, the imperial court sent Zhou Weigong and Che Bi to investigate, and it was clear that they wanted to play a dead village. The rest of the world knows what happened, Zhuang Zhi died in vain, and there were so many stolen goods in the family, and in the end he was convicted in vain, and his family was ruined. Behind all this, he Wen Yantao's instructions are indispensable, but the Wen family covers the sky in the officialdom, and no one dares to ask.

At this time, the bus dealer openly pierced the inside story of the day, Wen Yantao was naturally annoyed and angry, and ordered someone to fork the bus dealer and knock him to the ground, and really rewarded him with forty sticks.

After listening to the description of the bus butler, Qin Lei looked at Shen Bing, who rushed over after hearing the news, and when he saw him nodding, he knew that it was all the truth.

Exhaling a breath of turbidity, Qin Lei Huoran got up and said in a deep voice: "Go to the Six Yamen!" "The black-clothed guards are all masters who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and when they heard this, they rubbed their hands and rushed out to prepare to go.

Qin Lin on the side got up and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Kill Wen Er!" Qin Lei didn't have a good airway.

Qin Lin grabbed him and said softly: "He is also an official of the Sixth Ministry and an important minister of the country, if you really beat him like this, where is Daqin's face?" Where is the prestige? He added in a low voice: "That's second, the key is our royal face......"

Qin Lei glared and said, "The court has already made a Wen inscription, do you still care about this?" ”

Qin Lin smiled bitterly: "That's different, the Xuanzheng Hall is in the Forbidden Palace, except for the officials present, no one can see it." The six yamen are on the street where people come and go, and they will definitely be laughed at by the common people and gentry! ”

Qin Lei also knew that what he said was the truth, but he couldn't swallow this breath no matter what, and said hatefully: "I know!" As he spoke, he shook off Qin Lin's hands and walked out, Qin Lin asked anxiously, "Do you still want to go?" ”

Qin Lei nodded and said in a rough voice, "I will pay attention to the royal image." With that, he strode out of the inn, got in the car and went to Xicheng to find Wen Yantao.

Looking at Qin Lei's departing back, Qin Lin smiled bitterly, shook his head and got into the car and went home.

Half an hour later, Xicheng, Shangshu Street, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials.

Qin Wei changed into a new six-grade guard uniform of the palace and came to the gate majestically. The doorman's eye thief, seeing the carriage painted with the black royal emblem at the door, sighed in his heart, and said in his heart, this prince can't really be the reincarnation of Lu Dongbin, why did his people just be beaten, and they came back from Jingshan a hundred miles away in less than an hour?

While hurriedly letting people go in to inform Lord Shangshu, he greeted him tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "This ...... My lord, come on...... This... What's your business? "Qin Lei's murderous reputation is too strong, no matter how the adults oppose each other, these little officials will never dare to offend.

Unexpectedly, this six-rank guard was surprisingly polite, and said with a smile: "This brother is invited, he is a guard of the palace of Longwei County, and the prince of my family wants to see your lord Shangshu, please go and report it...... bar. The voice was soft and sweet, which made the door fall goosebumps, and he was too busy to respond, so he asked the guard to have tea in the doorman, and rushed in to report it.

In fact, he had already sent someone to report it, but he felt that the door was too dangerous, so he ran in to avoid it, and without running two steps, he saw the subordinate who had just gone in to report the news turned out.

Menzi grabbed him and asked in a low voice, "What did Master Shangshu say?" ”

Who knew that the subordinate said helplessly: "Master Shangshu can't find it!" Said it was a quarter of an hour ago and left the back door. ”
