The day will be June, it is already very hot, although sitting in the shady room, the windows on both sides are also wide open, but the wind is also hot, blowing on people, not only can not cool off, but it makes people more stuffy, especially at this time Liangzhu is dressed in a neat court dress, it is even more unbearable, the sweat beads on the head are like broken pearls dripping down, even if even a few white silks, can not be wiped off, so angry that Liangzhu wants to brush his sleeves and leave, but he doesn't dare, not for anything else, It's just that the piece of Chen signed yesterday is still in Hongqing's hands, and this matter has not been settled, and Liangzhu's net worth and life are afraid that it will be over.

Three hundred and eighty thousand taels, this is not a small number, all of Liangzhu's family property adds up to less than half of this number, even if it is to borrow, there is nowhere to borrow, if it is really according to the article to clear the debt, Liangzhu in addition to hanging himself, I am afraid that there is no side road to go, because of this, he almost did not close his eyes last night, and today he came to the post station early in the morning, in order to be able to discuss with Hongqing, although he knows that this matter is extremely difficult, but there is no way out, Liangzhu can only honestly wait for Hongqing's appearance.

"Yo, Lord Liang is here, I'm sorry, Ben Beizi got up late today, so I've kept you waiting, Haihan, Haihan."

Just when Liangzhu was waiting in despair, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door of the study, but he saw Hongqing Shi Shi coming in from outside, arching his hand towards Liangzhu with a warm smile on his face, and accompanied him.

"It's okay, it's okay, the little prince has been working hard for days, and it's been hard, but the officials took the liberty to come here, and there was a lot of disturbance, and I asked the little prince to bear with me."

Seeing Hongqing show up, Liangzhu suddenly jumped up like an electric shock, and hurriedly returned the salute, saying that he was extraordinarily polite and tactful, no way, this is a man-made knife, I am a fish, I can't bow my head!

"Lord Liang, please take a seat, come here, change the tea!"

Hongqing has been up for a while, and he has already figured out Liangzhu's thoughts, and when he saw him like this at this time, he smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, just smiled politely.

"Little prince, please take a seat!"

Liangzhu didn't dare to have any thoughts of fighting with Hongqing at the moment, and carefully gave Hongqing to the top position, and then sat down with a smile on his face, and the palace guards who were waiting on his side hurriedly sent the freshly brewed fragrant tea.

"Yo, didn't you get a good night's rest last night? Alas, it's annoying hot this day, it's hard to sleep peacefully, Huang Ma Fa often says, the body is the capital, without this capital, then you can't do anything, Liang is the pillar of the society, and you have to take care of your body. ”

Although he had guessed Liangzhu's intention and had the heart to prepare for it, it was impossible for Hongqing to mention it himself, so he pretended to be ignorant.

"That's, that's, the little prince Jin Yu has good words, and the lower officials should keep it in mind, don't dare or forget, it's just, ah, it's just ......"

At this time, people are under the eaves, Liangzhu is really a hero, and naturally Hongqing has to respond to everything he says, and he originally planned to take advantage of the situation to talk about his own difficulties, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know how to say it, and his old face was flushed.

"Huh? What is wrong with you? You and I have a very good relationship, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't worry too much. ”

Seeing that Liangzhu's face was suffocated like a monkey's ass, Hongqing almost burst out laughing, fortunately, the city was deep enough, but he didn't lose his temper, so he patted his chest arrogantly, as if he was a friend of life and death with Liangzhu.

"Then ......, the lower officials will be bold and presumptuous." Liangzhu bowed his hand to Hongqing with a guilty face, and then lowered his head, and said with embarrassment: "Xiaguan didn't sleep all night yesterday, full of guilt, and complained about the negligence of Xiaguan, when he took over the time to take care of chores, but he forgot to write off the account, so that he ended up in such an embarrassing situation now, alas, if Xiaguan can have a lot of family wealth, he will pay it back, who makes Xiaguan not cautious, but he can't complain about others, but ......, alas, Xiaguan is not from a rich background, so many years, although it can be regarded as a sea of waves, But he really didn't save much floating wealth, 380,000 taels, the lower officials were really powerless, and asked the little prince to raise his noble hand, and the lower officials should have a retribution. ”

"This ......"

The origin of Liangzhu's deficit is obvious, Hongqing knows it in his heart, and he does have the heart to help him, but he is not in a hurry to say it, after all, if you want to sell your favors, you have to sell them to the big one, right?

"If the little prince is really embarrassed, the lower officials will not dare to force it, and allow the lower officials to move the book and ask the saint for sin, whether it is life or death, the lower officials will also suffer."

Seeing Hongqing's face full of embarrassment, Liangzhu's heart suddenly cooled half, he is also a veteran of Huan Hai, how can he not know the urgency of the matter, not to mention anything else, just Hongqing's hand is loosened here, and the officials below immediately dare to follow suit, one by one to shout grievances, then Hongqing's hard work yesterday is not all in vain, as soon as he thinks of this, Liangzhu does not want to waste any more time, shakes his head bitterly, and then gets up, planning to leave and go.

"Lord Liang, don't worry, this matter is not without a turn, and please sit down and talk slowly, okay?"

Seeing that Liangzhu was leaving, Hongqing, who was going to sell a big favor, couldn't sit idly by, so he also got up, pressed his hand, and smiled and comforted Liangzhu.

"Oh? It's true? The little prince has any orders, and please say it directly, but if the officials can do it, they will never dare to resign! ”

Liangzhu was already desperate, but when he heard Hongqing say this, he was stunned at first, and then he was surprised.

"I don't dare to say anything, but I just have some thoughts, and I want to ask Lord Liang to see if it's feasible."

After Hongqing sat down, he was still not in a hurry to break the key to the matter, but said with obvious hesitation.

"Although the little prince has something to say, even if he speaks bluntly, the lower officials just listen to it."

At this time, Liangzhu only hoped to be saved, and he was polite and courteous, and he did not dare to sit down, so he just bowed and stood, as if he was listening to the instructions.

"Lord Liang doesn't need to be like this, your business, Ben Beizi still knows, that is, it's just a negligence, I really want you to compensate Rufu for the thief's fault, it's too much, if you change the season, make up Zhang Wen, find someone to say it, and it's over, but now it's on the bones, alas, it's also difficult for Ben Beizi."

Hongqing is a veteran of selling guanzi, he is not in a hurry to say the solution first, just talk about his own difficulties, and really make the beads of sweat on Liangzhu's forehead gush out again, but he didn't dare to interrupt Hongqing's complaints, and he choked enough.

"It's difficult, and the lower officials also know that there are quite obstacles, but ......, alas!"

Hongqing is sighing, and Liangzhu naturally has to follow suit, but his emotion is true, but it is difficult to say how true Hongqing's emotion is.

"Lord Liang relaxes, even if this matter is difficult, Ben Beizi will fight for Lord Liang, and he must not let honest people suffer, but at this juncture, if he misses the line of hiding, the dogs below are afraid that it will be difficult to obey the control, if Lord Liang can keep secrets, Ben Beizi can plan a little."

After Hongqing finished the difficulty, the conversation changed abruptly and began to make requests.

"The little prince can rest assured, the lower officials will not dare to talk nonsense, and ask the little prince to get a charter for the lower officials."

Now, even if he knew that Hongqing would have some undivided requirements, Liangzhu couldn't care about it so much, and he didn't ask Hongqing how to operate, so he agreed first.

"Okay, Lord Liang said this, Ben Beizi will rest assured, this matter is not difficult, Ben Beizi has a part of the excerpt here, and Lord Liang will know what is going on at a glance."

Guan Zi has sold enough, and if he goes around the future, it will be too much, this point, Hongqing is very well handled, as soon as he saw that the heat had arrived, he would not talk any more, his hand trembled, and he had taken out a secret fold that had been covered with yellow silk from the wide sleeves, and cautiously handed it to Liangzhu.

"This, this, this is called how to divide the officials, the little prince's kindness, the officials will never forget!"

The excerpt is not long, it is only a few hundred words, and there is only one thing to say, that is, to excuse the matter of Liangzhu, and to hang all the deficits on the head of Rufu, who has died, and to ask the criminal and household departments to merge the confiscated Rufu family property into the deficit of the Hecao Yamen, the matter is not difficult, just go through some procedures, but for Liangzhu, it is tantamount to a life-saving straw, which really moved him beyond measure.

"Lord Liang and thank you slowly, this matter must be kept secret, don't leak the rumors, even if this chapter is going to be on, it must be delayed for some time, and you have to ask Lord Liang to urge the dogs under the head to finish the debt first."

Hongqing has never done useless work, this time to exonerate Liangzhu, in addition to earning a big favor, what is more important is to ask Liangzhu to personally go out to suppress the Hecao officials as soon as possible.

"Little prince rest assured, the lower officials know how to do it, but my Hecao Yamen is accumulating more and more evil, and it is difficult to completely fill the deficit, the lower officials did a little calculation last night, even if the next group of dogs did their best, in this half a month, it is too much to be able to make up half of it, as for the balance, I am afraid that it is not what the lower officials can do."

In order to keep himself, Liangzhu was really willing to help Hongqing be this thug, but he was not very optimistic about the completion of the task, so he was afraid that Hongqing would be blamed at that time, so he hurried to say the ugly things first.

"Well, half of the I'm afraid it's not enough, Lord Liang must know that Ben Beizi not only has to pay off the debt this time, but also the matter of the embankment at the end of Kaifeng is also pressed on Ben Beizi's body, my father is still waiting for the result in Luoyang, don't hide it from Lord Liang, full of calculations, this trip is not a million taels of silver, I'm afraid it will not be enough, so good, Lord Liang just try his best to collect the debt, just take one million taels as the bottom limit, as for the difference, go back to Ben Beizi and then subdivide it, so it can be done?"

The original deficit of more than 1.7 million taels, after deducting more than 360,000 public debts on Liangzhu's body, it was only about 1.35 million, and if it was only half, it was only more than 600,000 taels, and this obviously could not make Hongqing satisfied.

"Well, then the lower official will try his best!"

The left and right are dead, naturally the dead Taoist friends are not dead and poor, this consciousness, Liangzhu is still not lacking, seeing that Hongqing has already said such a thing, he can no longer bargain without interest, so he gritted his teeth and agreed, and the evil spirit in the words was really amazingly strong.
