Although, even with the silver donated by Yan Hong, there is no essential improvement for the great cause of disaster relief. But in the eyes of Hai Rui, who is dedicated to the people, Yan Hong is much more pleasing to the eye than when Chun'an first met. Moreover, Hai Rui also listened to Yun Chuqi and Ye Zhengfei report on Yan Hong's affairs in Jinan, although there were many things that could not be put on the stage, but as soon as he arrived in Jinan, he smashed the Spring Appreciation Pavilion.

Hai Rui's yellow face also showed a hint of a smile at the moment, and said: "Jinan is on fire, what is Yan Huhou afraid of?" It's a big deal to hide in the Yansheng Mansion, what else can you do? By the way, have you ever handed over all the money you received? It's better to hand it all over, and leave one or two coins, which is also a tainted innocence and will be bombarded by ginseng. ”

Yan Hong was sullen in his heart, except for your brother, who else is so boring to participate in me. He also smiled and said: "If I flee to Yan Shenggong in trouble, my identity as a messenger and the flag of the king's order, won't I be ashamed to lose face to my grandmother's house?" Brother Hai, don't worry, I have handed over tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it is not interesting to keep a fraction in my hand. ”

Hai Rui said: "It's good that Yan Huhou understands. Now, the money of the household department is not moving for the time being, relying on the silver of Yan Huhou, he first went to buy some grain and boiled porridge for relief, which deserved a day or two. The marquis can send another team of Jinyi officials to the treasury to check how much food can be left, which is always better than nothing. ”

The two plans were initially decided, and then they dispersed. Yan Hong went to catch a palace maid who was suspected of the White Lotus Sect, tied the rope and tied it, and the leather whip and candle were not mentioned. The maid suffered, but she remembered her mission, so she had to swallow her anger. Flattery.

After Yan Hong's happiness. Tie up the maid and throw it in the room. I went to sleep in Sun Yuerong's room by myself. He suddenly thought that there were not only two of them on this trip, but also one Zhang Cheng. When this father-in-law Zhang followed him in the first half of the journey, he was very happy to collect money all the way. In the second half of the journey, he went to a private visit from a microservice, and Hai Rui didn't collect money, so wouldn't the filial piety of the officials along the way be swallowed by him alone? Damn, since you took the money. Now if he wants to be alone in this matter, he is not so convenient.

As for Hai Rui, he will definitely not consider Zhang Cheng. In Hai Rui's eyes, eunuchs are just royal servants, and sending eunuchs to follow the Qincha team is inherently nondescript. So he would rather cooperate with Yan Hong than choose to be with Zhang Cheng. Besides, Zhang Cheng only knew that Lu Dao was trying to get money along the way, and Hai Rui was too late to annoy him, how could he want to have any alliance with him?

Yan Hong knew it. Compared with a good person like Hai Rui, who does not eat oil and salt, sometimes it is easier for the wicked to communicate. After all, the latter still has its own desires. Have your own pursuits. People who have desires have weaknesses, and those who have weaknesses are prone to targeted coercion and temptation. What's more, relative to himself, Zhang Cheng is also a vulnerable group, and he can be called a suitable target for wooing and exploiting. Therefore, Shang Yan Hong made up his mind, and when he turned around, he tried to tie Zhang Cheng to his chariot, and at worst, he had to extort all the silver he collected.

When Yan Hong was secretly plotting in the palace converted into a royal mansion, in the living room of Wang Xuan, the governor of Shandong, Liu Cai, was visiting. It seems that not long after the banquet of the governor's yamen dispersed, Liu Cai turned around and went to the king's foreign mansion to disturb him. The guests and hosts sit opposite each other, and the fragrant tea and fresh fruits are laid out, which is really a leisurely scenery.

It's just that at this moment, Liu Cai and Liu Da Governor have no way to look calm and relaxed when they face Yan Hong and Hai Rui at the Yamen banquet. He looked anxious, even in a pleading tone:

"Outside the king, in the past few years, the official has advanced and retreated with you, and the extrajudicial vacancies have made you how much money you have earned, this is a matter of benefit for the two families, needless to say. It's just that now, the situation is urgent, and I hope that the king will raise his noble hand and quickly distribute food for disaster relief. As long as the king goes out to provide 200,000 stones, and the rest of the wealthy families follow suit, the disaster in Jinan and even the whole of Shandong can be solved. Otherwise, I'm too much to handle. That Qin Cha Yan Hong is not an idler, he is the eldest grandson of Yuanfu. I relied on the identity of Motofu Yoshiko to put on a stand against him. But if you really offend him, Yan Ge Lao will be furious later, I'm afraid that the governor will come to an end, and who will help you when the time comes? ”

Wang Xuan had not yet answered, but when he saw the "Wang Fu" manager with a face like orange peel, he first sneered and interjected: "Liu Laojunmen, it's not right to say that. In the past few years, my lord has made some money, but has Master Liu made less money? Just say that this time we will join forces to dump the grain in the warehouse, how much do you profit from it, do you still need to say it? As for helping Yan Hong, what good is it for us to help him? His grandfather is your stepfather, not my father-in-law. According to me, I thought of a way to blow him away and pull him down. Qin Cha stays here and doesn't leave, and sooner or later everything we do will see the light. It's easy to talk about the smuggling of salt and iron mines, but what about the ordnance? And what about grain? Don't forget, if these things happen, your old man's head may not be stronger than others. ”

Liu Cai is the governor of a province, Wang Fu is just the head of the rich family, it is said that Liu Cai should not have looked at Wang Fu as a subordinate, and he should have reprimanded him a long time ago. His old face changed color several times, but he didn't even dare to say a cruel word, so he had to give up:

"Mr. Wang, what you said is not unreasonable. But now, there are more and more victims, and hundreds of thousands of mouths are pointing to Jinan Mansion to feed. Originally, there was not much food in the warehouse, and if Wang Yuan's family not only did not provide food for disaster relief, but stopped the porridge shack again, wouldn't this force the victims to riot? When the time comes, the people will come together, and although the Chin Cha will suffer, I will not be able to escape the blame. Liu's head, the court cut it off, and then cut it off, could it be that you have a lot of people in charge of the household, and you can still be alone in this popular uprising? Isn't this all the jade burning? ”

Wang Fu sneered: "Master Liu is too worried. But think about it, since you became governor, how many times has my lord made you suffer? Speaking of the current situation alone, it is a reluctant child who can't catch a wolf, if you want to be perfect, you can only end up losing all the games. Yes, Yan Hong does have the support of Yan Ge Lao, but do you think that he came here really just to collect your money, and he was satisfied with taking Chang Zhixiao's head and sleeping with his girl? Besides, look at his deputy envoy Hai Rui, showing off his power along the way, how many officials have he done? According to me, most of the things you Liu Laojunmen did have also fallen into his eyes. ”

Liu Cai has already heard the prestige of "yellow-faced Bao Gong". Although Hai Rui only has seven grades and can be called a humble official, the thought of the murderous light in his eyes at the banquet made Governor Liu feel a little stabbed in the back. His mouth was full of bitterness, and he said in a low voice: "So we can't offend Yan Qincha even more." If he offends Yan Qincha and makes him collude with Hai Rui, then this matter in Jinan ......"

Wang Fu shook his head and said: "Liu Laojunmen, you are also mixed up in officialdom, but you know that all parties are coordinated, and you are compromised. In fact, instead of this, it is better to let go of your hands and feet to gamble. What are you afraid of, you have a standard camp in your hand, and that's not an ornament. I heard that Shen Shen General can kill and fight well, and govern the army well, and he is a well-known good man in Shandong. Even if the victims of the disaster make trouble and riot, as long as he takes his soldiers to the streets, cuts them with a knife, and kills hundreds of people, are you afraid that you won't be able to shake the chaotic people? If the court wants to ask for guilt, it will be pushed to Yan Hong and Hai Rui. In this way, Qincha's affairs in Jinan are completely messed, and naturally no one will investigate the scandal of your illegal salt, iron ore, ordnance and grain. When a few days later, the rice and grain from other places are all together, and they are bought in Shandong, won't there be no trouble? Speaking of this, my lord also folded in a lot of silver, the ground in Shandong is not clean, and the grain bought from other places has been robbed several times, what can we do? I can only use this strategy. ”

Liu Cai said: "But I really put the blame on Yan Hong, and I offended Yan Ge Lao, I'm afraid that I ......."

Wang Fuwei smiled: "Liu Laojunmen, smart and confused. If the people really change, when the time comes, the court will naturally be beaten into a pot of porridge first, and who else has the heart to take care of Shandong? And you, Liu Laojunmen, then suppressed the civil rebellion and blocked the place, so naturally you are merit and innocence, who will ask you when the time comes? Besides, something big happened, and Yan Ge always wanted to get rid of Yan Hong. As long as Liu Laojunmen has a fold, all the problems are piled up on Hai Rui's head, and Yan Ge will most likely thank you. By the way, so that Liu Laojunmen knew that the victims inside and outside Jinan City heard that the Qin mission team was coming, and I was afraid that they would go to gather to beg for rice in the near future. In this way, it is good to see that it was the improper handling of the Qin mission that provoked the popular uprising. ”

When Liu Cai heard Wang Fu say that the victims were going to go to the street, his face changed: "You...... Mr. Wang, do you want to take the initiative to incite a civil uprising? It's playing with fire. ”

Wang Fu said: "Liu Laojunmen, this is all for your good. To tell you the truth, as far as our master's news is concerned, Hai Rui came along the way, visited the people, asked officials, and accumulated several large case files. I'm afraid that half of the things you Liu Laojunmen did have been written down by him. If he visits him unhurriedly in Jinan again, how bad do you say? Now let the victims make a fuss and be scared, even if Hai Rui is not afraid, Yan Hong is also afraid. As long as Yan Hong is afraid and can't sit still here, most of the silver taels have been delivered, and he will avoid the strategy when he is instructed. At that time, won't the affairs of Jinan be all decided by Liu Laojunmen, and everything will be fine. ”

Liu Cai saw that the other party had made up his mind, so he had to whisper: "Since this is the case, the old man will leave first." It's just that...... It's just that you really want to make noise for the victims to go to the streets, and don't make a big fuss. The court attaches the most importance to the word "civil change". If it really provokes Yan Ge, I am afraid that the old man will not be able to escape the ruin, and Master Wang will not be able to sell well. ”

Wang Xuan, who had been silent, said at this time: "Don't worry, the military gate, we have been friends for many years, can I still pit you?" Tomorrow, let some of the victims make a fuss, with my servants watching, nothing will happen. Just to scare these two Qincha, it is best to scare them to the Qufuyan Holy Prince's Mansion, so that no one will check the account books of the domain treasury, and it is also for you Liu Lao to solve the disaster. Besides, you don't have to be too afraid of Yan Hong, as far as I know, Xiao Ge Lao doesn't like him at all. If he messes up this matter, maybe Xiao Ge Lao will have a pawn to protect the car. However, Liu Lao is the governor of one party, and the Yan family will not abandon you, although rest assured. (To be continued......)
