Chapter 134: Cheng Maocai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites

"Dad, you're finally here, if you don't come again, your baby son will go to the northwest to die."

Cheng Gongzi saw that his father was coming, tears fell, Brother Gongzi, who had never been beaten like this, the grievances in his heart can be imagined.

"It turned out that Master Cheng was here." After Qin Duan saw the comer, he said with a smile.

This Master of the Ministry of Rites, named Cheng Maocai, is in his fifties, his body is a little fat, he has a big belly, Qin Du has met him a few times in the court, and they are somewhat familiar with each other, that is, they are familiar with each other, and they have nothing to say.

"Lord Qin, what does this mean, where did my son offend you, you actually did such a poisonous act."

Cheng Maocai looked at Qin Du angrily and shouted, his precious son, he is usually afraid of melting in his mouth, and he is afraid of falling when he holds it in his hand, so he is willing to beat him, but today he was beaten like this, how could Cheng Maocai not be angry.

"Then you have to ask your precious son, this official will not beat him for no reason."

Qin Duan said, anyway, now that everyone is in the Qing~ Building, he is embarrassed to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he does not dare to press himself as an official, so Qin Duan has no pressure to speak at all.

"What's going on?" Cheng Maocai looked at his precious son and asked.

"Dad, here's how it ......"

Cheng Gongzi endured the pain and told him Lao Tzu about the process of the matter, because Qin Du was there, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, only said that he was really wronged.

"Lord Qin, this is the case, right?"

Cheng Maocai stared at Qin Duan and asked angrily, his son was just a little closer to that Xu Youde, and he suffered this unwarranted disaster, this matter, this Qin Duan must give an explanation, otherwise Cheng Mao is not afraid of bringing the lawsuit to the emperor.

"One thing your son doesn't talk about, that is, he and that Xu Youcai intend to have a bad dream about my concubine." Qin Duan said lightly.

"I, I didn't." Cheng Gongzi hurriedly said.

"No, you are embarrassed to say no, but I heard Xu Youcai tell you to share my concubine room with my own ears, Master Cheng, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and your son's behavior is a naked challenge to me, a challenge to the officials of the Great Qin Empire, isn't it, if any general goes to the battlefield in the future, the sons of the officials in the capital can blatantly grab the wives and concubines of the soldiers who want to go to the battlefield and sacrifice their lives for the country, I will also go to the court tomorrow to ask the emperor if this is the case." Qin Du said.

"I didn't, Xu Youde said so, I didn't agree." Cheng Gongzi hurriedly said, Cheng Gongzi is not stupid, but he doesn't dare to be accused of such a big crime.

"Lord Qin, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Cheng Maocai said in a cold sweat, if he really confirms the crime of his son, his son's life will not be saved, and his own Ministry of Rites will come to an end.

"Misunderstanding, there are a lot of people here, is it a misunderstanding, let's go to the emperor for a comment."

Qin Duan said that now the initiative is in Qin Dui's hands, and Qin Duan is not afraid to meet the emperor at all. Whether it is the matter itself, or the fact that he is about to go to the dangerous place in the northwest, the emperor will be on his side.

"Lord Qin, did you say your conditions?"

Cheng Maocai held back his anger and asked, he couldn't stand on the top of this matter, and Cheng Maocai was unwilling to risk his son's life.

"I've already said that two million taels of silver, not a cent less." Qin Dui said that in the matter of money, Qin Dui was unwilling to bargain for it.

"You're not going to rob it." Cheng Maocai shouted angrily.

"Master Cheng, you are from the Ministry of Rites, how can you instigate others to rob it? I don't forget if I hear this, if someone else hears it, I won't join you. Qin Duan said.

"Two million no? Twenty thousand is about the same. When he met such a person, Cheng Maocai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was also very helpless, just thinking about whether he could give less.

"Master Cheng, you don't have to call me poor, who doesn't know that your family is rich, especially your precious son, who is famous for his spendthrift in Qing~Lou, how can he be the home of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Qin Empire, and go out of the Qing~Lou to inspect the etiquette of the Great Qin Empire, which is like money, very rich, and there is no money at other times, is this a little unreasonable." Qin Duan said with a look of disbelief.

"You ......"

Cheng Maocai pointed at Qin Dui, a little speechless.

"Why did I say it, Lord Cheng, just now Lord Xu, the secretary of the ministry, brought four million taels of silver to compensate me, but there is no nonsense without you, if you think two million taels is too much, it doesn't matter, I will take your son to the emperor now, and let the emperor evaluate his old man." Qin Duan pointed at Cheng Gongzi and said.

"You dare." Cheng Maocai shouted loudly.

Dozens of strong men who immediately followed Cheng Maocai over surrounded Cheng Maocai and Cheng Gongzi with weapons and guarded them.

"Bold."

The soldiers around Qin Dui also drew their swords one after another, but the number of people on Qin Dui's side was slightly less than that of the other party.

"Lord Qin, you don't have enough people, you really want to fight, but it's a loss, I think this matter is settled, 200,000 taels of silver is my limit, if you accept it, it's easy to say anything, if you don't accept it, we can only be harder than anyone's fist."

Cheng Maocai said. For this Qin Duan, who is going to the northwest, Cheng Maocai is not willing to offend too much, after all, this is a dying person, this kind of person is the most dangerous, if he gets angry, he will really fight hard.

"Master Cheng, do you really think you've won?" Qin Du stared at Cheng Maocai and asked.

"Lord Qin, don't underestimate my family members, they are all elites who are one against ten." Cheng Maocai said proudly.

"Hehe, Master Cheng, these soldiers of mine are not idle people, they are all veterans of a hundred battles." Qin Duan also said confidently.

"So, Lord Qin is not going to let go of the dog?" Cheng Maocai asked angrily.

"If you don't compensate for the loss, you don't want to take your precious son away."

Qin Duan said stiffly, anyway, Qin Duan didn't know if he would be able to come back from the northwest alive, so he was not afraid of this Cheng Maocai at all, nor was he afraid of making things bigger.

"Then it's up to everyone."

Cheng Maocai said, if Cheng Maocai takes out two million taels of silver, it is impossible, in Cheng Maocai's opinion, the number of people on his side is superior, as long as he brings his son home, this Qin Duan can't help himself, he doesn't have a son in his hands, and he is not afraid that he will sue the emperor.

"My lord, my subordinates have brought someone." Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Li Bold rushed in with a group of soldiers.

"Very well, you guys came in time, hehe." Qin Du happily looked at the group of soldiers brought in by Li Daring, it was really timely rain.

"Master Cheng, do you think you still need to try it out?"

Qin Dui looked at Cheng Maocai with a smile and said, now that the number of people on his side has an absolute advantage, what else can Cheng Maocai do.

"This is two million taels of silver tickets, the green mountains in the twilight of Qin do not change, the green water always flows, there will always be a time when you are planted in my hands, let's go."

Cheng Maocai threw down two million taels of silver and left with his son.

"Stop!"

Li Daring took away the soldiers or surrounded Cheng Maocai and these people, without Qin Dui to speak, these soldiers did not dare to let them go, in ancient times, the soldiers were more admitted, only recognized their own commanders, and for other civilian officials who were not in the army, they were generally not birds.

"Lord Qin, what do you mean by this? The money has been given to you, what do you want? Cheng Maocai said unhappily.

"Master Cheng, forgive me, you have so much money, why do I have points, right? In case you give more, I can return it to you in time. Qin Du said with a grin.

"Ordered, no?"

Cheng Maocai was about to hemorrhage, when did the dignified second-class members of the imperial court suffer such anger, if it was twenty years ago, when the eunuchs were not so arrogant, he could have destroyed this Qin twilight at any time, but now the Great Qin Empire is worried about internal and external troubles, and the power of the eunuch party is so strong, so Cheng Maocai has more scruples.

"Okay, two million whole points, I didn't give any more points, you still don't get out of the way, how can you block Master Cheng's way, people are the second-grade Shangshu, can you soldiers stop it?" Qin Duan scolded his men.

"Yes."

Hearing Qin Duan's words, these soldiers got out of the way one after another, letting Cheng Maocai and the others go.

"Master, am I causing you a lot of trouble?"

Crazy Dream asked with some concern, now Crazy Dream is already Qin Dui's concubine, so he also calls Qin Dui the master, not Lord Qin.

"No, you are the lucky star of the master, you see, the master has an income of six million taels of silver at once, where to find such a good thing."

Qin Duan said happily, six million taels of silver is not a decimal, at least his army's short-term food, drink and military salary are not a problem.

After all, it is very expensive to recruit and buy horses by yourself now, and the army also needs to be raised with silver, and if you have money in your hands, you can have soldiers, if you don't have money, you can't even solve the problem of food and clothing for soldiers, who will give you your life.

"Li Daring, come here." Qin Duan shouted at Li Daring.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Li Daring ran up to Qin Du and asked.

"This is five hundred taels of silver, you take everyone to drink, and you can divide the rest of the money."

Qin Duan said, he has made a lot of money, and the people below must give them some soup to drink, otherwise who will give you your life in the future.

"Thank you, sir."

The soldiers and officers below said happily, who doesn't want to take more money.

"Go back and clean up, and come back with me." Qin Du said to Delusion and Xiaoyu.

"Hmm."

Crazy Dream happily took Xiaoyu to his room to pack up his things, and he was very happy to leave Yixiang Building, whether it was Crazy Dream or Xiaoyu.

"Congratulations, sister Crazy Dream."

"Sister Crazy Dream, I didn't expect you to find such a good home."

"Sister Crazy Dream congratulations, remember to wait until you walk out of Yixiang Building, but don't look back."

……

Along the way, the sisters in the Qing~Lou have said hello to the dream and Xiaoyu, after all, for the Qing~Lou woman, it is a very happy thing to be able to find a good home and leave the Qing~Lou.
