After a while, the gate of Cui's mansion slowly opened from the inside, and Cui Yiqi staggered into the mansion and saw the head of the family, Cui Heling, as he wished.

As soon as he saw Cui Heling, he immediately screamed and cried, crying and choking up to tell the matter of Yangzhou intermittently.

When Cui Heling heard this, the whole person suddenly stood up, and stood silent for a long time as if he had been struck by lightning, his face full of shock.

After being silent for a long time, Cui Heling, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and the first sentence was with an unbelievable tone, and asked Cui Yiqi: "Eight... Eight million taels of silver, all for you... You... Lost? ”

Cui Yiqi had long expected that the head of the family would have such a reaction, so he naturally pretended to be an innocent victim, wiped his tears and wailed: "The head of the family, blame me for being blinded by lard, and believing the nonsense of Guo Ye's traitor. In vain, he is the assassin of Yangzhou and an official of the imperial court, but he has done all the dirty things of these chickens and dogs. On that day, he disguised himself as a merchant in Shuzhong, and spoke in a Chinese dialect of Shuzhong......"

Slowly, Cui Yiqi explained how Guo Ye pretended to be Wu Maocai, a merchant in Shuzhong, and how he deceived his trust with a few small transactions, and explained them one by one.

The more Cui Heling listened, the more gloomy his face became, and his brows became a big pimple, and he thought with hatred in his heart, it seems that the surname Guo is really coming for our Cui family.

Cui Yiqi came to the end here, and did not forget to shout out the sentence that Guo Ye asked him to bring back, and said: "The head of the family, the surname Guo asked me to greet you, and let me tell you that his Guo Ye's things are not so delicious, and how much you swallow, you have to spit out for him with interest." Belch...... Head of the family, I'm really wronged, wronged, woo woo woo ......"

After Cui Heling listened to Guo Ye's words that Cui Yiqi brought back, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he blurted out: "It turns out that the surname Guo has already guessed that it was our Cui family who robbed the salt tax?" He took such great pains to dig pits and set up bureaus, interlocking with each other, just to find back the stolen salt tax from Yangzhou Yinhao. Hehe, it's amazing, it's really young. The eldest grandson Wuji is not wrong at all, after a few years, this guy will definitely become a big problem for the entire Guanlong clan, and he must first get rid of it and then quickly. ”

As he spoke, his face was a little cloudy, and he looked at Cui Yiqi, who was kneeling on the ground like a dead dog, and sighed secretly: "Why did our Cui family use all this useless waste?" Why can't there be a rising star like Guo Ye? Alas, it's really not as good as the generation. Now it seems that the righteous nephew of my brother Henian's family also died in the hands of Guo Ye. ”

After sighing in his heart, Cui Heling beckoned to Cui Yiqi and signaled: "Get up, you can't be blamed for this!" ”

Cui Yiqi heard that he had been pardoned, he had made such a big mistake and the head of the family did not blame and punish him, and obviously escaped a catastrophe. He almost cried with joy, hurriedly got up from the ground, came to Cui Heling, and said flatteringly: "Family master, I will never make such a mistake again, and I will definitely not fall for Guo Ye's dog thief's tricks next time." ”

"Do you want to have a next time?"

Cui Heling listened to Cui Yiling's words, and for no reason her heart was angry, a trace of fierceness flashed in her eyes, and she shouted outside the door: "Someone!" ”

As soon as Cui Yiling was stunned and stupid, Cui Heling suddenly pointed at those nursing homes and shouted: "Take down Cui Yiqi, the descendant of the Cui family!" ”

Rumble~

Several nursing homes rushed up, the tiger pounced and ran, and Cui Yiqi was firmly subdued in the lightning and flint.

Cui Yijue's body couldn't move, but his mouth was not blocked, and he shouted with a frightened and panicked face: "The head of the family, the head of the family, you... You... What's to be done? ”

Cui Heling glanced at Cui Yiqi disdainfully, and said coldly: "What are you doing?" Bastard, you made the Qinghe Cui clan lose eight million taels of silver, which directly made the family unable to recover within a few years. Hmph, you still have the face to ask me what to do? What's the use of keeping your waste? With so many people dying, how are you still alive? Waste, waste!! ”

Cui Heling became more and more angry the more he scolded, his voice became higher and higher, he shook his sleeves fiercely, and ordered several nursing homes: "Drag this useless waste down, enforce the family law, and beat it to death with a stick, so as to set an example!! ”

"Whoa!"

"Don't, don't, the head of the family spares my life, spare my life!"

Cui Yiqi was forcibly dragged down like a dead dog, his body kept struggling and scuffling, and he kept begging Cui Heling for mercy with a fierce voice.

"Wait!"

Just when Cui Yiqi was dragged to the door of the living room, Cui Heling suddenly heard another shout, and said: "Tomorrow is the day of the Cui family's ancestors, it is not appropriate to use a knife, and it is unknown to kill you." Hmph, count yourself lucky, I'll spare you a dog's life for the time being. ”

Cui Yiqi walked before the ghost door closed, and his face was already pale with fright, his legs trembled, but fortunately someone dragged him, otherwise he would definitely lie on the ground and couldn't get up.

Cui Heling walked up to him and said coldly: "You don't want to participate in tomorrow's ancestor worship day, and you will set off for Liaodong today." Our Cui clan has dealings with the Goguryeo people in Liaodong, and I will let you make meritorious service over there. If you still mess up your errand over there, don't go back to Cui's house, just buy a good knife and finish yourself off. ”

As soon as Cui Yiqi heard Liaodong, he immediately remembered that the weather was cold and frozen, and he lamented in his heart, it seems that Yangzhou is full of flowers and can't go back, but going to an extremely cold place like Liaodong to suffer is better than being beaten to death with a stick to enforce the family law.

Immediately, he cried with gratitude in his mouth: "Thank you to the head of the family, thank you to the head of the family, I will definitely make meritorious contributions to the crime, and I will not let the head of the family down!" ”

Cui Heling waved his hand at the nurses, signaling them to let go of Cui Yiqi.

Then he glanced at Cui Yiqi again, just waved his hand in disgust, and then turned around and returned to the living room, unwilling to say another word to him.

Cui Yiqi naturally accepted it when he saw it, and didn't dare to stay longer, in case the head of the family suddenly changed his mind and wanted to open himself to the knife, then there would be no place to cry.

Immediately, he staggered to his feet, his legs trembled slightly, and he ran towards the outside of the gate.

Cui Heling sat back on the Taishi chair at the head of the hall, looked at Cui Yiqi's embarrassed figure, couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and sighed: "What's the use of killing this kind of waste? Could it be that the loss of eight million taels of silver can be recovered? Alas, one generation is not as good as the next, and who can guarantee the prosperity of my Cui family after a hundred years? ”

After a sigh, suddenly a middle-aged scribe hurriedly walked outside the living room, who looked a little similar to Cui Heling.

As soon as this person entered the living room, he shouted at Cui Heling with an angry face: "Brother, I heard that Guo Ye deceived our Cui family of eight million taels of silver in Yangzhou? Okay, good, good, the hatred of killing the son is not shared, the hatred of cheating money cannot be eliminated, and the new hatred and old hatred are over together. Brother, please let me take someone to Yangzhou! ”

The person who came was Cui Yizhen, the father of Yangzhou, and the second master of the Cui family in Qinghe, Cui Henian.

Cui Heling watched his younger brother come angrily, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said, "Second child, it turns out that you have been eavesdropping outside?" ”

Cui Henian bowed his hand and said, "Brother, don't blame, Crane Year has no other thoughts. Please brother, let me take someone to Yangzhou. ”

"Second child, second child, I also feel sorry for the death of Yizhen!"

Cui Heling shook his head and sighed: "But without real evidence, what can you do with Guo Ye?" It's like he set up a trick to defraud us of 8 million taels of silver this time, it was all a deception carefully set up by him, how could it be so easy to give people a handle? What if you go to Yangzhou? And what can you do with him? Brutality and recklessness are not our Cui style. Besides, a few days ago, the eldest grandson sent a message that now Li Gang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is old, and the saint has given him permission to beg for bones. As soon as he retreated, the position of the Ministry of Rites was vacant. The eldest grandson and the book in the room unanimously recommended you to take up this position. At this time, if you make a little noise in Yangzhou, wouldn't it make Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda and others seize the handle? ”

As soon as Cui Henian heard his brother talk about this, his irritable mood suddenly cooled down, and he scolded hatefully: "First my son died, and then Cui's lost 8 million yuan in silver, is it so cheap to buy this fang?" ”

"No, the Guan Long clan, the same qi and branches. Cui's was humiliated, how could the other gate valves sit idly by? ”

Cui Heling sneered and said, "Second brother, tomorrow's ancestor worship ceremony will be presided over by you for me, and my brother may set off today." ”

Cui Henian was stunned and asked, "What does my brother want?" ”

Cui Heling said: "Chang'an! ”
