"Lord Wang, the lower officials have made people clean up the internal office, you see ......"

Li Quan is a veteran of Huan Hai in the end, although he disagrees with Hongqing's five-day covenant in his heart, he will never show it on such occasions, and he doesn't even ask, he just comes to Hongqing's side with a smile on his face, and carefully asks half of his words.

"Lord Li has a heart, since this king is on an errand, then everything will be according to the rules."

Long before the plan was launched, Hongqing had thoroughly investigated the three giants in Jiangxi, and he knew that these three masters were not good birds, but Hongqing did not plan to directly intervene in Shanxi officialdom, and he didn't want to have too much to do with the triumvirate.

"Lord Wang, the post station outside the city is in disrepair, it is really difficult to stay, the lower official has asked people to borrow a garden, not big, but it is still exquisite, if the prince does not give up, and the lower official will arrange it on his behalf?"

Chen Geran has the lowest official rank among the three giants, and it stands to reason that it is not his turn to go up to talk at this time, but Chen Geran thinks that he is a disciple of the fifth master, and he is considered to be in the same family as Hongqing, so he wants to show his close relationship at this time, and when he saw Li Quan deflated, he immediately flashed out from the side and said with a smile.

As soon as Chen Geran came out like this, the smile on Li Quan's face immediately froze, and Ku Xi, who had not had time to speak, was even more angry, there is no doubt that these two were very dissatisfied with Chen Geran's strong head who did not pay attention to the rules of officialdom, but because of Hongqing's presence, he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak.

Oh, I've heard that these three people have their own pots, and it's really true!

Although the changes in the expressions of Li and Ku were short-lived, Hongqing's keen observation power could see them all, and although they were smiling secretly in their hearts, their faces were humble and calm, and they waved their hands and said: "There is Lord Lao Chen's troubles, however, the rules are the rules, without this, there is no need to fight for this matter, Xiao Wang will go to the post station, if you are not busy, and go together." ”

"The prince is so honest, and he is also a model of his generation, and the lower officials are admired."

"The prince has an order, and the officials and others should obey it."

"The prince is wise."

……

Hearing Hongqing's insistence on going to the post station to settle, the three giants didn't dare to persuade more, but the ass of the tide was the proper meaning of the question, in this regard, Hongqing would not be more serious, that is, the left ear went in, the right ear went out, but in the bottom of his heart, the evaluation of the big three was a little lower.

"Minxing, go, invite Master Li here."

Jin merchants traveled all over the world, but Shanxi itself is located in the middle of nowhere, even if it is the capital Taiyuan, there are few Beijing officials who come to do errands, and the post station outside the city naturally seems to be ruined, but Hongqing does not care so much, and found a small courtyard to the north, let people clean it, and just live in it, as soon as Bu settles down, Hongqing immediately gave an order.

"Wow!"

Since Hongqing had an order, Li Minxing didn't dare to slack off a little, so he hurriedly answered, and then exited the study, and after a while, he accompanied Li Quan from outside.

"Xiaguan knocks to see the prince!"

Although Li Quan and other Shanxi officials accompanied Hongqing to the post station, however, according to the rules, before Hongqing was summoned, they could not enter the post station for a step, so they could only wait outside.

"Excuse me, come on, take a seat."

Although he looks down on Li Quan, an old official who eats vegetarian food, Hongqing will not go to the province if he is decent.

"Thank you, Lord Longen."

If it is a change to the prince of Qincha, this kind of solitary summoning is a kind of glory, but at this time facing Hongqing, Li Quan does not feel that there is any glory at all, but he is very nervous, there is no side, just because Hongqing's name of "officialdom butcher" is too loud, and few officials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty dare to claim that they are not afraid, of course, afraid of fear, Li Quan is an old eunuch in the end, and many years of qi cultivation kung fu are not in vain, and he can still be very calm on the big face, and Xie En is seated and behaves decently.

"Before this king left Beijing, I heard that Lord Li mobilized 100,000 treasury silver in order to quell the run, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

After Li Quan took his seat, the palace guards who were waiting on the side of him served the freshly brewed fragrant tea, and each of them withdrew from the study, and Hongqing, who was sitting behind the copywriter, asked in a calm voice.

"Wang Ye Mingjian, this matter is indeed there, the situation is critical, the lower officials are afraid of causing civil unrest, so they are urgently disposed of, although this move is somewhat violated, however, the 'Sunrise Money' has a house deed, a land deed as a mortgage, the total value has been over 300,000 taels, the official agreed to do it, if so, well, if the prince thinks it is inappropriate, the lower official will ask for a guilty fold and ask for punishment."

Hearing Hongqing mention the matter of transferring the treasury silver at the beginning, even though Li Quandang was a little unbearable, the sweat on his forehead was surging, but the words in his mouth were extremely smooth, which showed that he had already prepared for this.

"Do you have to do it in a hurry, although there is something wrong with this matter, but it is reasonable, you don't need to mention the guilt and the like, just don't take it as an example."

Li Quan said for a valid reason, but it was just a lie, Hongqing is a shrewd individual, how could he not know that the reason why Li Quan did this, although he had the intention of calming down the turmoil, but more because he received a huge bribe from Kang Wanming, but Hongqing did not intend to break it, and a little beating would be regarded as exposing the matter.

"The prince is wise, and the officials must keep in mind the teachings of the prince."

Li Quan has made a lot of money in Shanxi in recent years, and this time he accepted a bribe of 100,000 taels of silver from Kang Wanming, originally planned to transfer 300,000 taels of cash to lend to Kang Wanming, but he didn't expect the situation to develop so quickly, in just a day and a half, "Risheng Qianzhuang" has been crushed by the run, seeing that the situation is not right, Li Quan has suppressed the follow-up 200,000 taels of silver, if Hongqing insists on investigating, then Li Quan will definitely not escape being dismissed from office, because of this, Li Quan will panic, and now, Hongqing had already expressed his attitude of not pursuing it, and Li Quan's heart calmed down a little, but he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly bowed down and praised it.

"Where are Kang Youming and Xiao Lufeng, the two bosses of the bank, now?"

Hongqing didn't pay attention to Li Quan's praise, the tone of the conversation suddenly changed, and he asked an extremely sensitive question without much concealment.

"This ......"

Li Quan obviously didn't expect Hongqing to get to the point so quickly, and couldn't help but be stunned, hesitating and not daring to give a clear answer, no side, just because Kang Youming was hiding in the back hall of his Li Quan's yamen right now, as for Xiao Lufeng, as far as Li Quan knew, he was hiding in the warehouse.

"What, is there anything unspeakable about Lord Li?"

The whereabouts of the two money village bosses may be a secret to others, but for Yu Hongqing, it is not worth mentioning, there is nothing else, the "sharp knife" Taiyuan rudder has already stared at the two of them, and has already reported the hiding place of the two to Hongqing, but Hongqing did not intend to break the matter in front of Li Quan, but pretended to frown in displeasure, and said impatiently.

"The prince laughed, the lower officials, the lower officials really don't know anything about this, hehe, I don't know if the prince came to Taiyuan this time, but there is any plan to discuss, if there is a need to use the lower officials, please also ask the prince to make it clear, the lower officials should do their best."

It's never a good thing for people in the officialdom to get too close to businessmen, Li Quan won't be unclear about this, how dare he admit in front of Hongqing that Kang Youming is hiding in his mansion, so he can only snort and answer indiscriminately.

"I'm afraid it's not good for Lord Li to have this heart, so this king will thank you first."

Although he had long known that dealing with an old official like Li Quan was not an easy task, but seeing his nonsense, Hongqing's heart couldn't help but surge, but it didn't bring it to his face, he just nodded indifferently and snorted indifferently.

"Don't dare, don't dare, being able to serve the prince is really a blessing for the three lives of the lower officials."

Li Quan could hear the indifference in Hongqing's words, but in order to cover up the truth, he couldn't care much more, and while sneering perfunctorily, he was quickly calculating, thinking about how to quickly send Kang Wanming, a hot potato, to the field to avoid the limelight.

This old boy really doesn't shed tears when he sees the coffin!

Seeing that Li Quan was so uninteresting, Hongqing didn't want to go down with his hypocrisy and grievances anymore, so his face was solemn, and he said in a cold voice: "That's good, this king really has something to ask Lord Li to help with, so to speak, this run on the turmoil is caused by Kang Wanming, and it should also be ended by it, this king has boasted of Haikou in front of many fathers and fellow villagers, and must come up with a solution within five days, even so, this king will not be polite to Lord Li, tomorrow at three o'clock, this king will see Kang Wanming here!" ”

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

Li Quan didn't expect Hongqing to suddenly become so tough, and he had the heart to explain, but he couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while, so he was dumbfounded.

"Lord Li can rest assured, this king does not want to cure his crimes, but to give him some wealth, so to speak, as long as he can know things, not only can he survive this turmoil, but he can even get a great creation, if he doesn't come, hey, Lord Li himself looks at it, come to someone, send off guests!"

Hongqing obviously didn't intend to leave Li Quan much room to turn around, so he took the tea bowl at one end and brazenly issued an order to expel customers.

"Ah, yes, the lower official retired."

Li Quan is not a dull person, as soon as he heard Hongqing's last sentence, he knew that if he didn't do what Hongqing said, the consequences would be unbearable, and he couldn't help but panic, the corners of his mouth moved a few times, and he still didn't dare to say more at the end, so he could only respectfully agree to the promise and quit the study......
