Chapter 186: The Turmoil in Beijing (2)
"Old Thirteen, what nonsense are you talking about, don't you hurry up and kneel down and admit your mistake!"
As soon as he heard that the old thirteen arched the prince out so directly, the fourth master was quite happy at first, but when he saw that the old man's face was wrong, his heart couldn't help but feel weak, and he hurriedly drank the old thirteen, and then, regardless of how the old thirteen reacted, the fourth master was already kneeling on the ground, kowtowing, and said in a trembling voice: "Huang Ama Mingjian, the thirteenth brother has worked too hard these days, and his spirit is a little bad, and he said something inappropriate, which is really not right, but it is an unintentional mistake, and he also asks Huang Ama to calm his anger." ”
"That's it, I know about this matter, isn't it that the prince owes 130,000 taels, I will deal with it, if anyone dares to talk about this matter next time, just say it and listen to me, and I will reason with it!"
Although the old man was angry at the old thirteen's forced palace, when he thought that it was not easy for the two sons to chase each other, he did not have a seizure, but frowned, and opened the golden mouth with great displeasure.
"Emperor Ama Shengming, sons and ministers should work hard, and never dare to live up to the trust of Emperor Amma."
The original intention of the fourth master here was to take the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver owed by the prince, and he planned to use this as an opportunity to suppress those hard bones, and now the old man is willing to carry this matter over, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the intention of the fourth master.
"Well, I can trust what the fourth child said, go ahead, work hard, but if there is anything, you can find me."
The old man is indeed determined to chase back the treasury deficit this time, and he is naturally extraordinarily considerate to the fourth master, a person who does specific things, and his words are extraordinarily kind, although he has not said it explicitly, but the meaning of the reward is beyond words.
"Thank you Emperor Amalon, your son remembers."
The old man had already said this, and the fourth master was moved in his heart, kowtowed respectfully, and pulled the old thirteen who were puffing up his anger, and hurriedly withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace.
"Fourth brother, it's cheap for the prince again, hey, Huang Ama is really, whoever owes the money, who pays it back himself, this is an axiom, but that guy is good, he shrank up, but asked Huang Ama to pay money to make up for it, he is really a boring person."
The old thirteen seems to be stunned, but in fact he is not stupid at all, although the old man has never said it explicitly, but the old thirteen guessed that the old man's so-called disposal is nothing more than to help the prince repay the money, and he is very unhappy in his heart.
"That's it, it's good if there is a result in this matter, let's go, go to the household department, it's time to do it with those bunch of muddy balls!"
The fourth master is very scheming, the old thirteen can see the thing, he has already guessed the root, to say that there is no grievance, it is impossible, but the fourth master is deep in the city, and he really doesn't want to be entangled in this matter, so he waved his hand to stop the old thirteen's burial, and hurriedly walked towards Tiananmen Square.
"Alas, bad luck!"
As soon as he saw the fourth master striding away, the thirteenth man lost his temper, stomped his feet hatefully, and followed closely after three steps and two steps......
"Starling, are you so leisurely, hey, something new happened in the court this time, the prince actually paid off the silver in the treasury in one piece, and the fourth gang of cheap people are making noise everywhere about this matter."
In the West Flower Hall of Babeile Mansion, the Eighth Master was silently sipping tea with Lu Chunyan, but he saw the Fourteenth Master wandering in from outside the courtyard gate, and no one had entered the hall yet.
"The fourteenth brother is here, sit down."
The eighth master is very well-informed, and there is no need for the old fourteen to ventilate the news, the prince just went to the household department to pay the money, and the eighth master has already obtained the letter, and even how the prince's money came from, the eighth master knows very well, and he will not be very surprised by the outdated news of the old fourteen, but the eighth master is too lazy to bother to talk more, and did not comment, but nodded quietly, waved his hand, and motioned for the old fourteen to sit down by himself.
"Good tea! Hey, starling, this time the prince is finished, and the fourth brother is afraid that he will make waves again, and if he continues like this, the court is afraid that there will be a big mess, and the eighth master must be on guard. ”
The old fourteen lifted the hem of his robe, sat down in a chic manner, picked up the fragrant tea offered by the people, took a shallow sip, and then laughed and pulled it, the instigation in the words means that it is really thick - although the old fourteen have a lot of ways to make money, both the way of his own small business, and the income from the distribution rights of Hongqing Province, and then counting the Yulu of the title of Viscount Bei, he can also make a 40,000 taels of silver in a year, but he has just opened a house this year, and there are too many places to use money, Compared with the above brothers, they are not old and young, and they have borrowed a large amount of money from the treasury with the flow, plus what they borrowed a few years ago, and now they have accumulated more than 30,000 taels of debts, which is not much, but it is a lot to say less, and the old fourteen naturally does not want to pay it back, but it is not easy to say it clearly, so he has the idea of encouraging the eighth master to come out.
"Hmm."
The eighth master is a shrewd person, just the old fourteen is so careful, he understands it as soon as he hears it, but he understands it, but the eighth master has no choice, not for anything else, just because the eighth master himself does not owe money to the treasury, but a large number of slaves under him are in debt, and they are all looking for him to cry poor, which makes the eighth master uncomfortable all day long - the eighth master has a lot of property under his name, both openly and secretly, and he is the most well-off one in a few elder brothers, but he can't stand the many minions under his hands, if they really help one by one, Even if the eighth master is rich, there is only one way to go bankrupt, because of this, even if he knows that the old fourteen is playing a trick of caution and instigation, the eighth master can only endure it.
"Starling, the little brother is really relieved today, haha, he scraped Shi Shilun's bastard line, cool, hahaha......"
The eighth master is not angry, the old fourteen is not good to continue to say, too much to this reason, the old fourteen still understand, just like that, the atmosphere in the West Flower Hall is inevitably a little cold, the three people present are all silently tasting tea, no one is interested in stirring up the topic, but this strange tranquility has not lasted long, this cup of tea has not been tasted, I saw that the nine or eleven masters have been from the courtyard gate side by side hand in together, before the people arrived, the old ten's gong-like voice was already noisy, In an instant, the tranquility in the West Flower Hall was shattered.
"Huh?"
As soon as he heard Lao Shi's words, the eighth master's eyebrows immediately rose, although he did not open his mouth to ask, but his eyes were full of inquiry.
"Hey, starling, don't you know, Shi lame man dared to send an official document to the master yesterday, ordering the master to pay it back within half a month, and immediately provoked the master, early this morning, the master brought a full set of honor guards, and blocked in the alley outside Shi lame's house, and when this guy went out, the master took someone to block it, and treated him with a crime that was not divided up and down, a few ear scrapers came down, enough for the kid to drink a pot, see if this guy still dares to shout with the master?"
Lao Shi walked into the West Flower Hall triumphantly, and did not sit down, just stood crookedly, and told the good things he had done with a smug face.
"The tenth brother did this Meng Lang, alas, it's all my fault, I went late, I couldn't stop the tenth brother, and I caused such a mess, I'm afraid it's not a trick."
The ninth master was obviously not as complacent as the tenth master, and in the face of the eighth master's gradually fierce eyes, he shook his head with a wry smile and explained with self-blame.
"I'm afraid of a fool, even if this matter is stabbed to the emperor's Ama, the lord is not afraid, the left and right are just fines, then the punishment is good, the lord has no money, there is a life, whoever loves to accept it, who accepts it!"
Lao Shi is a lazy person, he doesn't put the rules in his eyes, he grins big, and he can't stop squirting out.
"Tenth brother, if you don't make such a fuss, the faces of the guy from me and the fourth brother will be torn, and it will be difficult to get things right."
As soon as the tenth master said this, the eighth master's brows suddenly wrinkled, but the old fourteen's eyes flashed with a flash, it was obvious that the old fourteen had seen through the intention behind the old ten's nonsense, it was nothing more than to force the eighth master to express his position with a fait accompli, and this was a good thing that the old fourteen couldn't ask for.
"The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, but no, no!"
This has been forced into a corner, the eighth master is really big, even if he knows that he will definitely lose a lot of points at the old man if he stands up and destroys the household debt at this time, but he has no choice, so he can only sigh helplessly.
"Starling, I'm so scared, let's join forces, and I'm afraid that the fourth brother's muddy ball can turn the sky upside down, even if it's pressed, it can crush that guy to death!"
The eighth master's sigh was full of unavoidable suffering, but Lao Shi ignored so much, all he wanted was the eighth master's shot, this time he heard that the eighth master had made a decision, he was a little more excited, smiled yin, and said nonsense without shame.
"Brother Starling, Brother Ten's words sound rough, but it is not rough, according to the younger brother, it is time to give the fourth brother a blow, otherwise, the hearts of the people will be scattered."
Lao Fourteen is also a master who wants to make trouble, this time he heard Lao Shi start, he was so happy to beat the side drum, and with a word, he arched the eighth master to the cusp.
"Starling, although what the fourteenth brother said is reasonable, it is just a matter of great importance, so you still have to be cautious."
Although the ninth master is also a big debtor, after all, he is more cautious by nature, but he did not echo the remarks of the two younger brothers, but cautiously reminded the eighth master.
"Hmmm......"
The eighth master ignored the words of the three younger brothers, and did not make any special statement, but just said noncommittally, then closed his eyes with a slight frown, and silently calculated.
