Chapter 231? Cheng Yue's teaser
Xie Daoqing said: "Why did the Metropolitan Governor say this, I was about to thank the Metropolitan Governor for doing everything possible for the concubines in the palace, and the nobles were grateful." ”
Cheng Yue smiled faintly, handed over the fold, and said: "Sage, if the minister offends the affairs in the palace, the sage will have to bear with it, and the minister knows that not everyone is willing to accept the minister's conditions." ”
Xie Daoqing said: "Although the governor of the capital can rest assured, some concubines in the palace are indeed not like words, there are those who forcibly occupy farmland, there are those who sell official positions, there are those who collude with internal and external parties, and there are those who abuse the palace people. ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "The minister has one more thing to tell the saint, which is about those envoys." ”
Xie Daoqing was stunned for a moment, and said: "Governor, those envoys heard that they are very honest now, and they have all found jobs to do, and they have not done anything illegal, is there something happening?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "It's not that something is happening, but that something is about to happen." In a few days, one of Annam's envoys will die, and when the Ministry of Rites reports it, ask the saint to send the matter to the ministers to deal with it, and the ministers will promise that the situation will be calm immediately, and the envoys will have no objections. ”
Xie Daoqingqi said: "If their people die, can they be indifferent? How can it be so weird? ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "They are willing to die, what is the matter with the ministers?" ”
Xie Daoqing saw that he didn't want to explain, although he wondered in his heart, it was not good to ask any more, and said: "Okay, the mourning family knows, if it is really as the metropolitan governor said, the mourning family will be handed over to the metropolitan governor to handle it." ”
Cheng Yuejian's goal has been achieved. Shi Li said: "Thank you, saint. The minister retired. ”
Xie Dao Qingmu sent Cheng Yue out of the hall. pondered the meaning of Cheng Yue's words repeatedly, but he couldn't figure out the essentials, and he couldn't think of a headache, so Quan Jiu came to inquire about what treasures Cheng Yue sent, so he left this matter behind and asked again when it happened.
Cheng Yue walked out of the palace gate, feeling a little depressed, and he was calculated. But I can't fight back right away, it's really not happy. I didn't want to go home with this mood, so I naturally walked to Yaleju. Yun Luo and Ba Ji saw that he was unhappy, so they danced the Heavenly Demon Dance for him, this dance required nine beauties to dance naked, which Yun Luo and Ba Ji specially practiced in order to let Cheng Yue come to Yaleju often. Cheng Yue was very happy, and before they finished jumping, he knocked them down and fought a big battle, and the boredom in his heart was relieved a lot.
When he returned to the mansion, he put the two ladies Song Luo on the bed in the study, and exhausted all his energy with them. Fall asleep. Wake up in the evening and feel refreshed. Looking down, Mrs. Song was sleeping sweetly in her arms, and Mrs. Luo was also holding Cheng Yue behind her back. If Dingniang comes in the afternoon, his adultery with the two ladies will be exposed.
Cheng Yue was a little scared, snickered and pushed the two ladies awake, and the two ladies woke up before they realized how dangerous it was just now, so they hurriedly got dressed, took some manuscripts and left in a hurry.
Cheng Yue looked at their departing backs and smiled with satisfaction. After pacing boringly in the study for a while, he suddenly remembered Zhao Miaohui again. He sent Lilac to Cho Miao-hye, and although he could have an excuse to see her more, he lost the opportunity to be alone with her. Remembering that night when he went to find Zhao Miaohui when he was restless, his mood immediately became very calm, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
He has no personal relationship with Zhao Miaohui, but his dependence on Zhao Miaohui is second only to Ding Niang, and sometimes even more than Ding Niang. In his heart, there is always a blank for Zhao Miaohui to fill. But this wish is too difficult to achieve, and he is not the one who can brutally kill her husband in order to get a woman.
Cheng Yue's method of disposing of the harem concubines and chamberlains soon spread to various places, and the people were all happy. Although the harem concubines were not moved out of the palace, it did not disappoint, and it was not bad to let them work in the palace, after all, they did not commit any crimes. Moreover, Cheng Yue also greatly reduced the expenditure in the palace, slashed the inconsequential pomp and manpower, and the forbidden army was also reduced.
Zhang Yan suspected that Cheng Yue deliberately abolished the forbidden army, and knocked on the side to Xie Daoqing several times, but Xie Daoqing was silent, and Zhang Yan had to give up.
The news also reached the ears of the envoys, causing them to sigh and admire Cheng Yue. But the emotion is only for a while, they have something more important - to work hard to make money.
The envoys had limited property, and they were expecting to return to China after receiving the rich rewards of the Great Song Dynasty, but Cheng Yue suddenly changed his face, not only did he have no reward, but he also had to hand over most of the property to offset the fine, so that the envoys not only could not buy people's hearts, but also had to run around to make a living.
Chen Guojun searched for several days in Lin'an City, and finally found a suitable shop, planning to open a tavern specializing in Annan cuisine. The alleys near this shop are tortuous, the terrain is complex, there are all kinds of people coming and going, there are many business trips from other places, and a sudden lack of one person will not attract much attention.
After Chen Guojun went back to discuss, he scraped together enough money to set up a shop, and the entourage in the mission who could cook acted as cooks, and then found a few people to run the hall, and soon opened the door to accept customers.
The delicacies of all countries in Lin'an City are sold, the people of Lin'an often visit and taste, and now there is another Annan delicacies that naturally have business to the door, they do it authentically, although the business is not prosperous, but it is also reasonable, it is a place to make a living.
The people from the government came to see them a few times, probably to see if there were any weapons hidden in the private house, and seeing that they were honest, they only gave orders to the decree of the Great Song Dynasty and stopped caring about them.
Chen Guojun and Chen Qingyu work diligently in the tavern every day, and the two generals also look like they are the shopkeepers.
Chen Guojun is looking for a suitable substitute for the dead ghost while doing it, and he has to find such a person as soon as possible to get out. Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and on this day, Chen Guojun had just sent away a table of guests, and he was greeted by a man who was very similar to him in height and size, carrying his luggage, and said to him: "Is there a seat inside?" ”
Chen Guojun saw this man and looked at it slightly, was overjoyed, and greeted warmly: "Please inside, just vacate a table, and serve you tea immediately." ”
The man nodded, and followed Chen Guojun into the tavern with a tired face. Chen Guojun led the man to the room, personally served him tea, and took the initiative to help the man order food, and gave him two side dishes.
The man saw that he was refreshed, and he also opened the conversation. It turned out that his hometown was not far from Chen Guojun, a native of Guangxi, and had been doing business in Fujian. I heard that there were many new things in Lin'an, and I felt that the business opportunities were rare, so I took a boat from Quanzhou to Lin'an, and wanted to buy a batch of goods to sell in Quanzhou. I just arrived today, because I am not familiar with the place, I want to find a place to rest first, and I asked Chen Guojun where the shop of the metropolitan governor is, and he wants to go and see.
Chen Guojun couldn't help but be overjoyed, this person was simply specially arranged for him by God. Not to mention the similar height and body shape, even the appearance is somewhat similar, and more importantly, he is a single businessman doing business abroad, even if he dies in a foreign country, it is common, can this gift from the door be not?
Chen Guojun pretended to be enthusiastic and told him a lot of the news he had heard, and pointed out to him the place where the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was located. The man was grateful, took out a few coins of silver and stuffed it in his hand, asked him to help find a place to live, and left for Quanzhou as soon as he bought all the goods.
Chen Guojun pretended to excuse himself a few times, accepted the money, found him a place to stay and put the goods in the guest room in the backyard, and drank a few drinks with him. Told him to go early in the morning, it is best to leave before dawn, grab the first position and run a few more stores to pick out enough goods, saving him from delaying for a few days.
As soon as the man heard the reason, he was even more grateful, and went to rest after eating a few bites, and asked Chen Guojun to wake him up early tomorrow, and he wanted to finish the goods as much as possible in one day.
Chen Guojun waited for him to enter the house, smiled slightly, and brought Chen Qingyu over, and the two bit their ears for a while. Chen Qingyu then left the store and personally went back to his residence to inform Chen Yu that Chen Guojun had found the target to start and would start tomorrow morning.
Chen Yu was very happy, and handed over a piece of jade plate to Chen Qingyu, and asked him to bring Chen Guojun as a credential, so that his father would not think that he had left the prince alone and fled for his life alone.
Chen Qingyu took the jade plate, rushed back to the store overnight, handed the jade card to Chen Guojun to hide, and the two discussed stopping, cherishing each other, and resting in peace.
As soon as he arrived at the fifth watch, Chen Guojun came to the guest room where the man lived with a dagger and a lantern, and shouted him to set off.
The man was very happy, gave Chen Guojun another fifty dollars, and said, "Anyway, it's so early, and the shopkeeper has nothing to do, can you send me over?" I walked alone in the dark, and no one inquired, so it was easy to get lost. ”
When Chen Guojun heard this, he was in the middle of it, and said busily: "This is a trivial matter, brother is too polite, let's go, I'll give you a lantern, if you buy the goods quickly, I can also help you pick up the goods when you come back, don't think I'm clumsy." ”
The man was overjoyed and said: "That's good, the shopkeeper is really a good person, I must make you a friend, if this road can be passed, let's do it together, you buy it in Lin'an, I sell it in Quanzhou, and the money earned is divided into fifty and fifty, what do you think?" ”
Chen Guojun also pretended to be happy and said: "That's great, I'm worried that I can't find a way, let's do it together in the future, and we will definitely be able to develop." ”
The two laughed and shook hands with each other to make a contract. The man stuffed a hu cake into his mouth and chewed it a few bites, and Chen Guojun led the way in front of the lantern, and the man followed behind with a package on his back.
When he came to the front door, Chen Guojun loudly explained to the guy that he wanted to take someone to the store opened by the Metropolitan Governor to buy goods, and then help bring them back, it was estimated that it would take a long time, and he didn't have to wait for lunch.
After the guy agreed, the two of them quickly disappeared into the dark and crooked alleys.
Chen Guojun took the man around a few corners and came to a secluded place, which he had already stepped on, the path was narrow, few people passed, and there were a few dilapidated houses nearby, which was conducive to hiding corpses and dealing with them afterwards, even if someone was killed here, it was not so easy to be found.
