. Yang Hao's appearance, how could Zhao Dezhao have any reason to hold a girl to talk about the world, Deng Xiu'er eyebrows were bright, and he glanced at him, and when he saw that the ceremony was over, he avoided the back room. Zhao Dezhao finally mustered up the courage to meet his long-admired piano friend, who expected that he had just felt a little bit, and before he could say the last sentence, Yang Da Bang mallet came to insert a bar, and he was really depressed in his heart.

But he looked at the enthusiastic look of this workaholic, and it was hard to say anything about him, and he was even a little ashamed in his heart, speaking of which, Yang Hao has been busy these days, he is just under the guidance of Taifu to outline the deed and sit behind the scenes. This is his Zhao family's country, Yang Hao seems to be more concerned than him, the court has such a loyal courtier, can you blame him.

At that moment, Mrs. Deng also avoided going, and the prefect of Deng sent someone to serve tea, respectfully invited King Wei to take a seat, and sat opposite Yang Hao to listen to him tell the reason. Yang Hao is now defeated again and again, defeated again and again, the more he filed, the more courageous he became, and he was energetic with those grain gentry who had not officially taken a look at each other until now.

Yang Hao said his purpose and ideas from beginning to end, and the King of Wei, who advocated uprightness and uprightness, did not agree with the people, but he was in a hurry to obey the power and did not raise objections, but Deng Zuyang praised it and said: "This plan is wonderful, to deal with these profiteers who do everything and are pervasive, and who make trouble and do not leak a drop of water, it is time to fight poison with poison." This government agrees, if the prince agrees, then the next official will hand over the files involving grain merchant lawsuits in recent years to the Yang court envoy to deal with it, and see if he can find out the flaws, I don't know what the prince wants? ”

"This ......" Zhao Dezhao hesitated slightly, and said: "Since the two adults agree to do this, this king agrees to do it, you just have to do it, if there is any trouble, this king will bear it." ”

There is such a prince who is willing to let go and let him do it, Yang Hao's heart is happy, and the three of them discussed the details again, and Yang Fighter, who is happy with the sky, the earth, and the people, said goodbye and left happily.

Zhao Dezhao looked at a screen in the corner of the wall, the beauty was lingering, it was difficult to call her out to meet at this time, she was the daughter of the prefect, and she was not a girl in the workshop, she was a prince, how could she inexplicably force herself to meet people, so she had to get up lonely and say goodbye to Deng Zuyang.

Zhao Dezhao walked to the door, and the sound of the piano suddenly came again. The song "Alpine Flowing Water" is like a trickle of clear spring gushing out from under the pine roots of the deep valley, clear and cold, and murmuring. "Mountains and Flowing Water" ...... Looking for a soulmate? Zhao Dezhao's spirits perked up, and his heart suddenly bloomed.

After a while, Zhao Dezhao's room also played the song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".

Meeting is fate, lovesickness is gradually entangled, but it is difficult to meet. The mountains are high and the road is far away, but there are thousands of miles together. How can infinite love be sued? Looking southeast, a song of phoenix seeking a phoenix. Zhao Dezhao played this song, his mind had been complained, and the music in Deng Xiu'er's boudoir was quiet, only listening to him play alone, Deng Zu raised his eyebrows and locked his eyebrows, and was thinking about how to properly handle his nephew Liu Zhong's affairs, not to offend his wife, but also not to make him harm the people, and he was so worried that he didn't pay attention to it.

"The phoenix returns to its hometown and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix. When I haven't met anything, I don't know what to do! There are beautiful ladies in the boudoir, and the room is poisonous to my intestines. Why is the neck of the mandarin duck, the beard and the cheeks soar together......"

Zhao Dezhao did not sing, and his singing voice sounded freely in his heart. In two strokes, the two of them quietly held a trace of affection.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the prefect of Deng still had to deal with official affairs normally, Yang Hao couldn't occupy the magpie's nest for a long time and not go, so he gave up the government and moved to the Convenience Department to check the old cases, and the files he transferred were all related to rice and grain transactions or some lawsuits related to grain merchants. Next to this office is the official warehouse, and the two public officials involved in the case who need to be investigated and questioned are the most, and it is more convenient to transfer people to interrogate nearby.

Bisu also followed, the house here is relatively old, the two of them live in one room, Yang Hao consulted the files, found a suspicious point and went to the Bisu to call people to ask, so targeted, sure enough, the results are outstanding, one morning picked out three cases involving the grain gentry forced to buy and sell, speculation, all of which are old cases before Deng Zuyang took office, but these three cases are all accused of Miya people and splashy gangs, if it is difficult to touch the sore spot of those big grain gentry from this point, Yang Hao has no time to peel off the cocoon, carefully examine, I put the mark aside for the time being, and continued to scroll down.

After lunch, Yang continued to read the file with strong tea and spirit, and suddenly found that a case was reported to Uncle Zhou Wang, a grain gentry in Sizhou, which had caused a great sensation at the beginning, the plaintiff's name was Zhu Hongjun, who was originally a very solid grain household in Sizhou, and his family had more than ten hectares of land, and he was a small landlord in the Sizhou area.

He sued Uncle Zhou Wangshu for privately increasing the grain allowance by 30% when he was acting for the government, making a profit from it. But there are those who refuse to obey, they will inevitably secretly attract some scoundrels to harass them in all kinds, and the misfortunes continue, and Mingli was suppressed by Zhou Wangshu's contact with the government, and his family's thousands of acres of fertile land were blackmailed and forcibly bought nearly thirty percent in a few years. As a result, because of the prefect's cover-up, the case was repeatedly defeated, and the lawsuit lasted for two years, and the lawsuit was lost to 200 acres of good land in vain, and the matter was never settled.

The old father of the Zhu family was angry and rushed to the Jianghuai observation envoy to hang a rope at the entrance of the yamen, this time the matter was big, the Jianghuai Provincial Supervision Envoy and the Observation Envoy jointly wrote to the Imperial History Terrace, the imperial court was shocked, and the Imperial Envoy and Dali Temple sent people to jointly rush to the local supervision and observation Yamen to thoroughly investigate the case, and found out all kinds of illegal acts of the former Sizhou prefect Yin Jing, and then brought him to justice.

However, the charge of Zhou Wangshu privately adding 30% of the money is not well documented, the contract for the Zhou family to buy land is placed in black and white, but the collection of taxes is verbally announced, and at that time, several splashes who were responsible for collecting grain in the countryside all fled, and the tax department yamen prevaricated, and this matter could not be investigated.

Zhu Hongjun was not convinced, after the new prefect Deng Zuyang took office, he continued to complain, Deng Zuyang took the case and really continued to investigate, he had a tense relationship with the local gentry, and was vigorously excluded by the local officials and gentry, which was not unrelated to the case, and the case was investigated for more than a year, but there was still no effective evidence, at this time Zhu Hongjun was disheartened, withdrew the lawsuit, Deng Zuyang fought with the local gentry who formed a group for so long, and he was also exhausted, and the case was closed.

Yang Hao saw this and thought: "Then Zhu Hongjun's old father couldn't bear the oppression and hanged himself, and the Zhu family was extorted from half of the family property, how could Zhu Hongjun stop there?" Was he really frustrated after a long period of fruitlessness, or was he coerced more by the Zhou family? Maybe we can open a breakthrough from him. ”

Yang Hao's plan has been decided, so he asked Bisu to ask people according to the address contained in the file, Bisu went for two hours, and came back to say that the Zhu family's mansion had already changed owners, it is said that Zhu Hongjun's son gambled and lost all his family property, and the Zhu family was ruined, and he sold his ancestral business, and now he doesn't know where to go. Bisu pretended to be an ordinary tea guest, chatted with the shopkeeper of the tea shop opposite the Zhu family's old house for a while, and learned that Zhu Hongjun had been haunted in the area of the Zen Temple in the east of the city.

Broken by gambling? Yang Hao's heart couldn't help but sink, and said, "You find a helper who is familiar with the door...... That's it, the helpers here are in cahoots with those illegal grain gentry, they are their eyes and ears, and the people in the official warehouse yamen can't believe it, it's late today, early tomorrow morning, let's go find it in person. ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Liu Zhong came back from the "Huancai Pavilion", got out of the carriage, and Shi Shiran entered his back house.

Recently, he has been fascinated by the "Huancai Pavilion" of the red girl Xiaoxiao, this is a Miao girl with beautiful eyebrows and big eyes, tender and tender chives, Liu Zhong, who is accustomed to eating Jianghuai flavor, was fascinated by her as soon as he met this lively and enthusiastic barbarian girl. This little girl's skin is really a wave, Liu Zhong is used to being a person who has been through the wind and moon, and he can't stand this girl's glue-like grinding kung fu, and her legs are still a little shaky.

"That thin waist, that big breasts, that wave of energy......" Liu Zhongse recalled lewdly: "I'm really reluctant to let go, it's better to pay a sum of money tomorrow to redeem her as a concubine." This thought of being a concubine, he suddenly thought of the Hu family girl on the side of the Si River, the big girl who was very clever and bright, and she was going to get his family's dozens of acres of fertile land, but this girl was really reluctant to give up, hmm...... Tomorrow I have to send someone to collect the debt, and sooner or later I will get the girl back to try it.

Liu's mansion is very large, in this Jianghuai water town area, the courtyard of six in and six out is already quite large, the flowers and trees in the courtyard are sparse, the pavilions and pavilions, it looks very gorgeous. Liu Zhong is a well-known money in Sizhou, so money is naturally not a problem.

He collected money from officials and rich gentry, and then lent money at high interest, and the money grew like a snowball. This line of money is very snobbish, the rich people who lend money to the bank are called treasury money, don't look at them as the people who make money, but also to stammer, especially the powerful money, if Liu Zhong goes to which rich family's house, it is to sit at the head of the anti-guest, and the master has to stand aside to laugh and stutter.

Liu Zhong thought about the beautiful things and walked into the back flower hall, and saw the old man Liu Xiangzhi sitting there with his eyes closed, and a pair of green jade hands behind him were gently kneading the shoulders of the old man. Liu Zhong's parents died early and were raised by his grandfather, and when he saw him sitting in the flower hall, he smiled and said, "I came back early today, didn't I go to the banquet today?" ”

Liu Xiangzhi heard the voice, opened his eyes and snorted coldly, and said with a watery face: "You kid, where did you fool around again, and you didn't come back until now?" ”

Liu Zhong shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the chair: "I just went to the 'Huancai Pavilion' to have fun for a while, is there anything going on at home?" ”

"Of course there is!" Liu Xiangzhi waved his hand and withdrew the Yahuan, and said angrily: "You say, what are you doing nonsense on the side of the Si River? Your uncle just went to find me, and when he looked at him, he was really angry. ”

"On the edge of the Si River?" Liu Zhong blinked, suddenly understood, couldn't help jumping up, and said angrily: "Who spread this matter to my uncle's ears, it really doesn't make sense, if I know, I will definitely break his hind legs." ”

Liu Xiangzhi said with a straight face: "Go ahead, your cousin told your uncle." ”

"Cousin?" Liu Zhong softened, and sat down on the chair again: "Cousin...... My cousin doesn't go out much, how did she know about this? ”

Liu Xiangzhi glared at him, shook his head and sighed: "It's really not angry, just make trouble for me." I thought that I would let you and Xiu'er have a kiss, with our family's current wealth, and your aunt must agree, this matter will become nine stops out of ten, but you kid is too angry, last year I fought with people for the 'Huancai Pavilion' Miss Zhu Yu'er, broke people's legs, and made your aunt and uncle a little unkind to see you, and now you are so inappropriate, I really don't want to earn face. ”

Liu Zhong pursed his lips and turned his head disapprerovingly. My cousin is very beautiful, but if I really want to marry her, where can I be as happy as now, my uncle doesn't like him to be his heart, so he doesn't want to climb this family and tie himself up to death.

Liu Xiangzhi didn't fight when he saw that he didn't care about his face: "It's not just your uncle who is angry, you are messing around like this, and the good reputation I have worked so hard to build will also be ruined by you, let me tell you, your uncle has sent a word, and you are not allowed to do the bastard thing of forcing your daughter to be a concubine. ”

When Liu Zhong heard this, he said unwillingly: "People have a big tree next to it to enjoy the shade, let's do it, he wants to be a clean official, let us all drink the northwest wind?" Grace, grace! I just did good deeds, what kind of business do you want, can you give up that piece of fertile land? ”

"Confused!" Liu Xiangzhi said angrily: "Do you have to come out on your own? ”

Liu Zhong suddenly said: "Ah, I understand, hehe, don't worry, I know how to do this." ”

Liu Xiangzhi shook his head: "You, what an unsuccessful thing, now with me to support, with your uncle to rely on, you are calling for wind and rain in Sizhou, the scenery is infinite, if there is no us, can you fight with Uncle Zhou Wang?" Hum! You made this thing up, go and clean your ass yourself, don't get me in trouble! ”

In the Taibai Building, Uncle Zhou Wang, "Lai Fugui" and his beautiful concubine sat opposite each other, and they were drinking to the Xing.

The person quietly sent by Uncle Zhou Wang to Qingtianfu has returned, and he inquired that Lai's family room does rely on such a number one person as Fugui, there is a flesh mole under his left ear, and his age characteristics are completely consistent with the person in front of him, and when this Lai Yuan went to Beijing, he did bring two of his favorite concubines, and this pair of beautiful concubines was originally a pair of sisters, one is called Shu Shu, and the other is called Fufu.

The spy also found out that Lai Fugui was not in Yingtianfu at the moment, and left Yingtianfu two months ago, and it was said that he was going to partner with the Tang family who moved to Beijing in the northwest to do a big business.

Cao Yun has always been a lucrative business, the financial resources are rolling, endless, with the financial resources of the Tang and Lai families, if they want to meddle in Cao Yun, maybe a few years later, the entire folk Cao Yun will be completely divided by the two of them. When Uncle Zhou Wang's heart warmed up when he heard this, his greed increased sharply, he didn't want to do this hammer deal with Lai Yuanwai, he wanted to climb this big tree, get out of Sizhou, and make a big fortune.

When the wine was hot, Uncle Zhou Wang's beautiful concubines were a little profligate, Erong Luo's clothes were slightly open, Qiluo's slender wisps saw the skin, the snow lamp on his chest shone obliquely, and a tempting cleavage fell in Zhang Niu'er's eyes, and the eyes of "Master Lai" were almost about to go in.

Erong smiled coquettishly at him, raised her glass and took a sip of wine, lightly hooked Uncle Zhou Wang's neck with her jade arm, crossed a "leather cup" with great fragrance, turned her head and looked at Zhang Niu'er again, and said with a pair of red lips: "Lai Yuanwai, my master intends to do a long-term business with you, do you want to hear about it?" ”

"Huh? Oh, okay, hehe, Brother Zhou might as well come and hear it, but ...... Lai Mou went south this time for grain and rice, and we should negotiate this business first, okay? Zhang Niu'er woke up like a dream, and her eyes flew into her cleavage again, and then she said.

"Hehe, Lai Yuanwai is really anxious, these two things are originally two and one, one and two, why don't you listen patiently to my master?"

Erong threw a flattering look at Zhang Niu'er, disdainful in her heart: "Stinky men, all of them are this virtuous, the two beautiful flowers around him are still eating in the bowl, looking at the pot, I wish all the women were hugged by him." ”

Uncle Zhou Wang smiled and said, "Brother Lai, Zhou has been running around in the past few days, raising money in all directions, and finally living up to Brother Lai's expectations and raising the food that Brother Lai needs." But...... My Sizhou government has sent tax collectors everywhere, but all those who sell grain in other places are subject to heavy taxes, Brother Lai, if you pay heavy taxes, this profit will be thin, Brother Lai has a way to bypass the tax collectors to transport such a huge batch of grain out of Sizhou? ”

Zhang Niu'er smiled proudly and said: "If you don't have a gold and steel drill, and you don't have to do porcelain work, Brother Zhou doesn't have to worry about this matter, Lai has his own means." ”

Uncle Zhou Wang smiled: "Hehe, this ...... I can believe that the Lai family in Yingtianfu is a strong dragon everywhere, but it is just ...... First of all, you have to spend a lot of money to buy the government, right? Besides, King Wei Chitose is in Sizhou, even if Brother Lai has his hands and eyes, he may not be able to buy King Wei too, and once such a large amount of grain transportation falls into the eyes and ears of King Wei...... Hahaha, as the saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, if Zhou is willing to help, I can ensure that your food god will be transported out of Sizhou unconsciously......"

"Oh?" Zhang Niu'er's eyes froze, revealing a bit of shrewdness, he slowly raised his glass and said with a smile: "No merit, Brother Zhou is so enthusiastic to help, I'm afraid...... Does it have something to do with what you call a long-term business? ”

Uncle Zhou Wang's expression was straight, and he said: "Yes, to be honest, the price that Brother Lai gave me is very fair, but Zhou is willing to reduce the price by another three percent, sell the grain to Brother Zhou, and is fully responsible for helping Brother Lai transport the grain out of Sizhou, there is only one condition, Zhou Mou hopes...... Able to cooperate with the Lai family and the Tang family. ”

Zhang Niu'er was stunned, her eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled vaguely: "Is Brother Zhou drunk?" What is the Lai family, how can Lai not understand? ”

Uncle Zhou Wangshu suddenly laughed: "Haha, the Tang family is rich and rivals the country, and the Lai family is the best in the north, how can you hide it from others?" Don't burn fake incense in front of the real Buddha, Zhou is a piece of sincerity, Tang Lai and the two families are two strong dragons, and I Zhou can't compare, but ...... In this Jianghuai area, my Zhou family is also a big tree with lush leaves, and the three of them are in a crowd, and cooperating with me will not suffer a loss for the Lai and Tang families, what does Brother Lai think? ”

"Hmm......" This was beyond Zhang Niu'er's expectations, he didn't know how to respond, so he had to bow his head and stroke his beard in a deep groan.

"Sir, please have a glass of wine." Miss Shushu's eyes flashed, and she hurriedly raised her glass and said. Shu Shu is Yan Yan, Yan Yan is wearing a white dress today, a white jade man with cicada wings, gentle as water, graceful and graceful, and he can't see the slightest pungent appearance.

"Ah......" Zhang Niu'er hurriedly drank the wine in the cup with her hand, and his eyes touched her, and he knew it.

"Good! My Lai and Tang families live in the north and the northwest of the other, and if you want to do business on this big river, you really need the help of a tyrant in the south. ”

When Uncle Zhou Wang saw him agree, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "That's nature, that's nature, I believe that with Zhou's strength, no matter how much he depends on his brother's words, the Tang family will not allow it." If the Lai and Tang families are willing to cooperate with Zhou, and the Tang family is located in the north and Zhou echoes in the south, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money? Hahahaha......"

"Hahahaha......" Zhang Niu'er also laughed heartily, Uncle Zhou Wang glanced at the beauties who were laughing with him left and right, and said with a smile: "I can get Brother Lai's promise today, we will be a family in the future, Zhou was happy in his heart, and wanted to invite Brother Lai to drink again, why don't you ...... Please Brother Lai come over, our brother will re-set the wine and have a long talk, I don't know what Brother Lai wants? As he spoke, his gaze glanced at Erong consciously or unconsciously.

Miss Shu Shu has not yet tasted the taste, and the girl on the side has already grabbed Lai Yuanwai's sleeve coquettishly and ate the taste: "My lord is not strong enough to drink, I can't drink anymore, when my lord wakes up, I will come to the house tomorrow during the day." ”

Zhang Niu'er clenched the wine glass, looked at the enchanting and charming beauty opposite, and wanted to say loudly: "I am willing!" ”

But the doll had already said this, he could only pretend to be drunk and pretend to be crazy, and smiled as if he didn't know what he meant: "It's getting late today, Lai is indeed not strong enough to drink, wait for Lai to talk about it tomorrow, haha, haha......" No matter how the laughter sounds, it seems to have a taste of grief and indignation.

The doll is also dressed in white today, but because of its delicate body and tender face, she does not learn to be a lady dressed as a lady, but wears plain clothes and hangs her hair, with a double ring of green pendants, and a pair of slender beautiful feet with a pair of clogs, walking and kicking and tapping, childish and indescribably cute. But it is such a little beauty like a young girl, but she is coquettish, delicate and sweet, Uncle Zhou Wang's look at such a coquettish demeanor can't help but dispel the soul, but now he has confirmed the identity of Lai Fugui's northern gentry, and knows that he loves this concubine very much, but he doesn't dare to beat her idea.

After talking and laughing for a while, Zhou Wangshu climbed into the two giants in the north at once, naturally he was full of ambition and joy, but Zhang Niuer was obsessed with looking at the beautiful shadow of Erong Rongna leaving.

"Comfortable" The two sisters didn't care about his mood, and the two of them got into the car, kicked aside the poor old man who had been used and threw it away, and began to talk happily.

"Doll, let's go see him now, tell him to lay an ambush in advance, prepare early, and wipe out all the people surnamed Zhou!"

"Sister, there's no rush at this time." The doll gently hooked up the sedan curtain, glanced out with apricot eyes, and said: "You must know that the more you are at this time, the more vigilant you must be, so as not to startle the snake and fall short. ”
