Chapter 155: Preparing for the Curtain (1)

"The little prince is wise, this is indeed the case, and Lord Liang has no choice but to do it, now the Hecao Yamen is accumulating more and more evil, and the deficit is huge, even if Lord Liang wants to pay it off, I am afraid that there is nothing to be done, and then Chen Minxin and other villains instigate it, and the matter has become the current situation."

Marseille originally thought of using the decision discussed by Liangzhu and others as a means to invite credit, but he didn't expect that before he could say anything, he had been broken by Hongqing, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked, so he hurriedly bowed down and explained carelessly.

"Well, how did Ben Beizi do what he told you to do?"

Hongqing had long expected that Liangzhu and the others would not be willing to cooperate in paying off the debt, and had long guessed what kind of measures these bureaucrats would take, but he didn't care, and he didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, so he just quietly whispered and revealed the topic.

"Little prince, this is an abridgement of the account book you want, and the account room Deng Mingcheng and Director Deng have also agreed to cooperate, but it's just ......"

As soon as he heard Hongqing ask such a question, Marseille didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out the book from his wide sleeves, holding it in both hands, but did not hand it to Hongqing directly, but muttered half of the words with a hesitant face.

"Huh?"

Seeing Marseille behave like this, Hongqing's brows immediately furrowed, and he snorted coldly from his nostrils, full of displeasure that could not be concealed.

"Ah, the little prince is angry, it's not that the slave is rude, it's actually that Master Deng has two requirements, the slave doesn't dare to make decisions without permission, and the little prince clearly shows his actions."

Hongqing's little face only sank like this, and the air in the study suddenly seemed to be cold for several degrees, which made Marseille change color, and hurriedly bowed down to explain a few words.

"Speak!"

Hongqing is not an unreasonable person, and he can't do stupid things that want the horse to run and the horse not to eat grass, but he doesn't mind what the other party wants, and what he dislikes is just Marseille's spit-and-spit style, but Hongqing didn't bother to explain, just spit out a cold word stiffly.

"Ah, yes, so that the little prince can know that the little prince is afraid that after this incident, he will be retaliated by the villain, and begs the little prince to move a place for him, this is one thing, as for the second, it is to ask the little prince to forgive some of the small mistakes he committed in his early years, if he can get this guarantee, he is willing to listen to the dispatch of the little prince."

As soon as he saw that Hongqing's expression was wrong, Marseille didn't dare to postpone it any longer, and hurriedly put out the two points requested by the bookkeeper one by one.

"The first one is accurate, as for the second one, well, let's talk about it first, what has happened to this guy."

At this time, although it was the time to employ people, Hongqing was still very vigilant, and he did not blindly trust others, and he groaned slightly, and then asked cautiously.

"Back to the words of the little prince, Director Deng was confused in the early years, and ganged up with others to hack some money, about more than 10,000 taels of silver, and then he borrowed more than 20,000 taels of project funds, he promised to make up for it as soon as possible, only begging the little prince not to delve into this matter, and the rest has no other requirements."

Hongqing asked, Marseille didn't dare to hide it indiscriminately, so he hurriedly explained Deng Mingcheng's bullshit.

Oh, a small six-grade official, he actually dared to be greedy for more than 20,000, there is really enough black!

Although he had already expected that the amount of money that Deng was greedy for ink was not small, but when he heard that he actually made more than 30,000 silver, Hongqing still couldn't help but be annoyed for a while, but after thinking about it, this four-legged toad all over the world is easy to find, but the official who is not greedy is as rare as a national treasure, which is generally the case in ancient and modern times.

"Ben Beizi knows, as long as he is willing to fill in the accounts, then he will not be guilty of the past, well, you find a time, bring it quietly, Ben Beizi has something to explain to him."

The anger in Hongqing's heart came and went quickly, but he didn't let Marcedo wait, and soon gave a positive promise.

"The little prince is wise, and the slave went back like this."

Marseille has a good relationship with Deng Mingcheng, and secondly, in order to complete the task assigned by Hongqing, he will take the risk to ease Deng Mingcheng's cheeks.

"Well, there's no urgency in this matter, is your own deficit settled?"

Hongqing holds the holy decree in his hand, and he can check the accounts at any time, besides, even if Deng Mingcheng refuses to work, Hongqing is not afraid, just because there are dozens of account masters mobilized by Hongqing from the Ministry of Work and Household in the upcoming brigade, if you really want to check, how can you not find out the problem, the reason why you want to take Deng Mingcheng is just to save trouble and save some time, I really don't take it too seriously, but Hongqing doesn't dare to ignore Marseille's problem, after all, Marseille is a slave under the third master, If something goes wrong with him, the third master's face will not look good.

"Back to the little prince's words, the slave just arrived last year, and the hand is indeed not very rich, although there is only a deficit of 60,000 taels at the moment, but it is quite difficult, if you can be lenient, the slave is also a good way to take precautions, this situation, please also ask the little prince to see clearly."

As soon as he talked about the deficit in his own way, Marseille's face immediately became bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, and he begged for help.

"How much can you pay back right away?"

Hongqing is not an unreasonable person, since he knows that the deficit of the various rivers and rivers is a historical problem, but the court has rules, who is in charge of who pays back, but the elimination of the whole understanding of the deficit at the time of taking over, they have to take full responsibility, the problem is that there are more or less deficits in various places, when the predecessor is handed over, there are very few things to do according to the rules of the court, generally the predecessor confessed to make a number, under normal circumstances, the successor also pretended to be confused, left and right when leaving office to do the same gourd, this hole is naturally getting bigger and bigger, At the end, it will become a black hole that no one can fill, of course, in the case of the court is not more serious, the problem will not erupt, but now it is imperative to clear the debt, and the severe consequences can be immediately revealed, in view of this, Hongqing did not immediately force Marseille to finish the account, but asked indifferently.

"So that the little prince learned that since he received a letter from his master a few days ago, the slave has begun to try to make inventory, and the balance of more than 10,000 taels has been taken out from the library, and the officials have been ordered to raise some of their own, and now the more can be repaid immediately, and it will be difficult for the slave to do it."

Marseille is a person who loves money, but he knows better that the third master's trust and favor is a reliable guarantee for his soaring, because of this, in terms of paying off the debt, he did secretly make a lot of efforts, but the incident happened suddenly, and he really couldn't fill all the deficits immediately.

"Well, Ben Beizi knows in his heart, it's hard work, if this matter is successful, my father will not be able to lose you."

Hongqing didn't embarrass Marseille anymore, but he didn't say how to solve it in the future, just nodded quietly, and casually comforted Marseille.

"Thank you for the grace of the little prince, the slave should serve his death as a retribution."

Before coming to the post station, Marseille was really worried that Hongqing would force himself to pay off the deficit, and when he heard Hongqing say this, his heart was a little calm, so he hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

"Master Ma's words, Ben Beizi can be trusted, well, do you know where Vice President He Chen Qidong's family lives?"

Hongqing didn't continue the heavy topic before, but changed the conversation and asked casually.

"This ......, the little prince Mingjian, the slave really doesn't know, that Vice President Chen has always been out of line, and he has little contact with anyone in the yamen, and the slave is Cao Si, and he doesn't have much intersection with him, so he really doesn't know where his home is."

As soon as he heard Hongqing ask about Chen Qidong, Marsey couldn't help but be stunned, but when he saw Hongqing's brows frowning slightly, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly explained.

"Well, that's it, Master Ma, let's go back and think about it, it's good to be able to pay off the deficit."

Hearing that Marseille and Chen Qidong were not familiar with each other, Hongqing didn't ask any questions, nodded, and sent the guests with tea.

"Yes, the slave remembers the instructions of the little prince, and must do his best, and the slave is leaving."

Although he couldn't get much permission from Hongqing, Marseille, who felt that he was quite trustworthy, did not care, and after bowing respectfully, he went home on his own.

"Little prince, shopkeeper Li is here."

Marseille had just walked for a short time, and Li Minxing had already strode in from outside, bowed towards Hongqing, and hurriedly said a word.

"Please!"

Hongqing is destined to have a rare rest tonight, just because there are too many things to do, although people are quite sleepy, but they still have to hold on, and when they heard Li Minxing say this, they couldn't help but reach out and rub their swollen temples, but they still said with a hint of sleepiness.

"Wow!"

Hongqing has already given the order, Li Minxing did not dare to slack off, hurriedly answered, and walked out of the study, not long after, was already accompanied by a famous and rich middle-aged man from the outside walked in, this person is the "Qilin Firm" the new Shandong branch shopkeeper Li Mincheng, that is, Li Minxing's brother, who had contributed to the Rufu case before, because of its good management, Hongqing let it withstand Chen Size's shortage, and also had the control of the "sharp knife" rudder in Shandong.

"The little one knocks to see the little prince."

It's not the first time Li Mincheng has seen Hongqing, he is very familiar with the etiquette, as soon as Fang entered the door, he immediately grabbed the copywriter, and it was a big gift to pay homage in a proper manner.

"Shopkeeper Li doesn't need to be polite, just get up and talk."

Hongqing raised his hand and said politely.

"Thank you, little prince, Longen."

Li Mincheng thanked him respectfully, but stood up and stood with his hands down, with a posture of respectfully listening to the instructions.

"Shopkeeper Li, how is the matter explained by Ben Beizi?"

Hongqing didn't have much politeness, and went straight to the point.

"Back to the little prince, everything has a clue, little prince, please see."

As soon as he heard Hongqing ask about the matter, Li Mincheng didn't dare to be careless, hurriedly responded respectfully, shook his hand, took out a booklet from his wide sleeves, and respectfully held his hands above his head.

"Well, okay, Shopkeeper Li has worked hard!"

Hongqing took the booklet and went through it at a glance, and in addition to knowing it, he praised Li Mincheng's work ability greatly, and his excitement was overflowing.
