"Trouble?" Liu Xiaoyuan frowned slightly, "Brother Haiyun, do you know that this person is Jia Nidao's henchman?" ”

Pu Shougeng smiled: "So what? Jia Rudao can't cover the sky with one hand? What's more, this Chen Dexing is still a martial artist, and the civil officials of the Southern Dynasty look down on such people the most. If Chen Dexing knew that it would be fine, but this person is insatiable and flamboyant, so why is it difficult to catch him? ”

"Handle?" Liu Xiaoyuan didn't quite understand, although he was a scribe in the north, he didn't know much about the rules of the political game in the Southern Song Dynasty. If it weren't for Pu Shougeng, a man who understood righteousness, it would be impossible to quickly open up the situation.

"Chen Dexing's house has a trading house to hand over the herb shop, which was originally a crude medicine shop, but now it is doing goods from the north and south, and the business is not small, and several large commercial houses in Lin'an are selling goods from there."

"What's wrong with that?" Liu Xiaoyuan said, "There are too many civil and military officials in the Southern Dynasty doing business, can they bring down Chen Dexing because of this matter?" ”

Pu Shougeng sneered and said, "I don't know if I know about Zhaofu, Chen Dexing's business is smuggling!" Otherwise, a tax deduction and a purchase can make ninety percent of the profits go to ninety, what else will Chen Dexing earn? ”

Of course, he didn't have any ironclad evidence for this, but he knew it when he thought about it on his heels. There is no merchant who does import and export trading in the Great Song Dynasty who does not smuggle! Quanzhou Pujia is the same as smuggling! If you want to increase taxes and buy according to the rules, where is there any profit at all?

"Is this a problem?" Liu Xiaoyuan was a little confused, and smuggling was not a big deal. There are people smuggling not only in the south but also in the north. All the Han military princes had trading houses in their homes, and they were all engaged in smuggling and tax evasion. Even if it is not the family of Liu Xiaoyuan, who is not a marquis, it is the same! The Great Khan and the Four Kings all know it, but don't they turn a blind eye?

Listening to Liu Xiaoyuan's question, Pu Gengshou sneered: "There is nothing troublesome about this matter, only check or not!" The officials of the Han people in the Southern Dynasties, when they are not checked, they are all good officials who are loyal to the country, and when they are checked, they are all corrupt officials! ”

"Above...... Can the above listen to you? ”

Pu Shougeng smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Can money make officials grind?" 100,000 copper pieces were smashed out, and how many copies of the imperial history of the bullet were there. A certain family then used some subterfuge to make the evidence of the Chen family's smuggling iron. At that time, even if he can't defeat Chen Dexing, he can make a fuss! ”

……

At the same time, on the bank of Lin'an West Lake, Dr. Gong Wei, Chungju Thorn History, lifted the clouds to view the mansion that Lu Zhaoqi had just purchased. The door of the Buddhist hall was gently pushed open, and the soft sound of the wooden door moving made Lu Zhaoqi, who was meditating with his eyes closed, open his eyes.

At the door, a man dressed in Confucian robes stood and saluted him. The female envoy who greeted the man quietly retreated.

Looking at the two men, Lu Zhaoqi smiled and said, "Yifu, please come in." Has the dispatch of the new science and technology scholars been decided? ”

The person who came was Liang Chongru, Lu Zhaoqi's son-in-law, and one of the Jinshi of Dabi High School in the spring of the first year of Kaiqing. Now it is also the object of Lu Zhaoqi's full support. Look at Lu Zhaoqi's dispatch to lift the view of the sky, you will know that the Anfeng Lu family is now in decline! After the Battle of Yangzi Bridge, although Lu Zhaoqi also made meritorious contributions and was promoted to Gongwei Doctor, but because the losses of the Xiongsheng Army were too heavy, and it collapsed at a critical moment, it almost ruined the overall situation. Therefore, he was sent by Jia Yidao and arranged to raise the palace view. And the Xiongsheng Army was also reduced to an empty shelf with a military capacity of 2,500 and thrown to Lu Zhaoqi's eldest son.

However, to Lu Zhaoqi's relief, his son-in-law, Gao Gao Jinshi, has already set up a senator of the Xuanfu Division of Beijing, West Lake, North and South Sichuan, that is, Jia Yidao's senior staff! This shows that Jia Rudao still attaches great importance to Liang Chongru. And at this time, of course, what Lu Zhaoqi asked was not what Liang Chongru was sent.

"It's decided." Liang Chongru sat down and frowned, "It's the living house, the Chongzheng Hall tells the story, and a straight dragon pavilion has been added, and the rank of scattered officials has been directly promoted to the court." ”

"What!?" Lu Zhaoqi's eyes widened, "The official family values this Chen Huaiqing so much!?" ”

Liang Chongru shook his head and said, "I don't understand, I really can't understand...... Chen Huaiqing is only a third-class person, and he is over forty years old, so he shouldn't be so valued as usual, why is he a living housekeeper again, and he is a storyteller in the Chongzheng Palace, and he directly gave a loose official on the seventh grade. ”

The living room is the official who is responsible for recording the emperor's last dynasty, and the Chongzheng Hall storyteller is the official who tells the emperor the Confucian classics. It doesn't look big, but it's all following the emperor's ass. Historically, it has been the only thing that can be done by highly regarded civil servants. The seventh-grade Wensan officials were nothing in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the official products of the Song Dynasty were relatively small, and there were many people in the fifth and sixth-grade Xuanma worship. If the official of the seventh grade is released, the official of the governor, the prefect, and the general consul can also do it. If you have any credit, you will return to the dynasty as a squire and a scholar.

"It's going to be of great use!" Lu Zhaoqi's face was ugly, "It must be reasonable, Yifu, do you know that Lu Wende gave Siwentang to Chen Dexing." ”

"Siwentang? Lu Wende's villa on the edge of the West Lake...... To Chen Dexing? This house is worth at least 100,000 yuan! ”

Lu Zhaoqi shook his head and said: "100,000 yuan is still second, the key is that Lu Wende is a person who is greedy for money, and he actually gives such a generous gift to a junior!" There must be a reason why you have to give it away! ”

"Because of Chen Huaiqing?"

Liang Chongru shook his head and denied this answer, "Even if the official family values Chen Huaiqing, it will be impossible for him to worship the prime minister within ten years." Lu Wende is now a festival envoy, there is no need to pat him like this. ”

Lu Zhaoqi smiled coldly and said, "There must be a demon when it is abnormal!" The official position given to Chen Huaiqing by the official family is abnormal, and it is even more abnormal for Lu Wende to give Chen Dexing a gift! There must be a demon behind this! And...... It must be bad for you and me! ”

His voice was faint, but he swept the good mood of Liang Chongru High School Jinshi away.

Liang Chongru looked at Lu Zhaoqi and said sneeringly: "We have Liangzi with the surname Chen...... If Chen Huai has a day of Xuanma, and Chen Dexing is the second Lu Wende, then there will be hardship. ”

Lu Zhaoqi sneered and said softly: "The first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers!" ”

"What Taishan means ......" Liang Chongru's eyes widened. Lu Zhaoqi sneered.

"Lu Wende is greedy for money, Lu Wenhuan is greedy for money and afraid of death, Fan Wenhu has his appearance, no one in his eyes, Liu Cheng is insidious, Wang Jian is a stinky temper, and Pu Zezhi is a self-righteous fool...... These generals on the West Road are not fuel-efficient lamps. But there are no bad people like Xia Yonghe and Li Xiangfu. ”

Lu Zhaoqi's expression was a little leisurely, and his eyes looked past his son-in-law into the distance: "Yifu, in fact, the old man also regrets having a grudge with Chen Dexing." But now that this grudge has been settled, there is only a fight to the death! Either Chen Dexing died, or the two of us died! You are now trusted by Jia Xuanshuai, and you are friendly with Jiang Guxin (Jiang Wanli), with your intelligence, you can use some tricks to defeat Chen Dexing and die! Whatever you want, even if you take it from me, it is hundreds of thousands of copper, and I can take it! In short, the Chen family father and son must not be allowed to grow any bigger! ”
