Wang Fuxian said to invite Yuan Chengqiao to come, and Song Ning waited for two days.

In the past two days, she drove Ma Santong to Laixian County and asked him to stare at the descendant of the former Liao King who didn't know his real name.

Anyway, he couldn't stay at home by himself, because as soon as he saw Lu Miaomiao's bitter gaze, he trembled.

At this moment, she was sitting in the yamen of the political envoy, looking at Yuan Chengqiao, who was rushing from the dust opposite.

She has seen Yuan Chengqiao once, he is not as tall as her, he is only five feet six inches, he is very fat, and sitting on the circle chair makes people feel like Maitreya Buddha meditating.

Such an appearance gave Song Ning a preconceived impression that the other party was an honest and honest person.

But in fact, he is not honest and honest at all, and his words are bitter and mean.

"Your Excellency!" Yuan Chengqiao got up from the chair and stepped on the ground with a pair of black shoes, only to make people realize that he had legs, and he said angrily, "This is a policy for the benefit of the people, Xia Guan will start mining on the twenty-seventh, and the money will be recovered next month." ”

Wang Fuxian asked, "Have you ever seen a gold mine with your own eyes?" ”

"Xia Guan doesn't know how to be watery, but he specially arranged for a trustworthy person to go and see it." Yuan Chengqiao said, "There can't be a problem. ”

Wang Fuxian asked again: "How much money is collected now?" ”

"One and a half million taels, the money is already in place, and the accounts are very clear." Yuan Chengqiao came prepared and took out the account book, "My lord, you can take a look." ”

Wang Fuxian flipped through it, he was not very interested, there was no problem if there was a problem, and it was impossible to see it from such an account book.

"Lord Song, take a look."

Song Ning took the account book and flipped a few pages, there was a total of 150 yuan of money invested in his personal name, Song Ning thought of Ma Santong, and kept turning back, until he turned to the last page, he neither saw Ma Santong nor Lu Miaomiao's name.

Song Ning closed the account book and saw Wang Fuxian looking at her, with an expression waiting for her to ask.

"Lord Yuan, I have a close friend who invested in a share, and his name is not on it." Song Ning said to Yuan Chengqiao.

Of course, Yuan Chengqiao knew Song Ning, and they had met in May because of the New Deal.

Even if he doesn't see him, he knows, after all, Song Shi'an's name has long been famous in the government and the opposition, one is that his ability is really good, and the other is the big character of the loyal and filial minister sent to him by the saint.

didn't do anything, just because his father was sick and didn't go home to serve the sick and fainted, he got such a picture, and he was really thick-skinned in the middle hall.

"Lord Song is sitting here, isn't he going to ask this question?" Yuan Cheng Bridge Road.

What he meant, this matter has nothing to do with Song Ning, but she appeared here, it turned out that Song Ning was really not for business, but wanted to go through the back door to find him and ask about the shares.

"yes." Song Ning asked, "My friend did invest 10,000 taels, why doesn't he have his name?" ”

Yuan Chengqiao told her with great certainty: "Lord Song, your friend lied to you, there are one hundred and fifty people here, one is not a lot." If someone says that he has bought a stake, and his name is not on it, it must be that he is bragging and deceiving people outside. ”

The corners of Song Ning's mouth trembled, and he was shocked by Yuan Chengqiao's confident remarks.

"Lord Yuan, Lord Song's friends have no reason to deceive people, is this really safe for you?" Wang Fuxian asked.

Yuan Chengqiao patted his chest and said, "My lord, it must be reliable." The lower officials have been checking and tracking up. This matter is done by the officials as political achievements, and they will not be careless, you can rest assured. ”

"Lord Yuan, if my friend didn't deceive people and did invest in stocks, and you didn't register his name here, what kind of situation does this belong to? Do you have a plan for that? Song Ning asked him.

Yuan Chengqiao replied expressionlessly: "Your friend has been deceived, and this matter has nothing to do with us." ”

"Who are you, or who are you?"

Yuan Chengqiao replied: "The organizer is the Dengzhou Mansion, the official presides over the operation, the assistance is Tongwei Yinzhuang, and the non-governmental liaison and maintainer who discovered the gold mine is Han Daochang. ”

"To say that Han Daochang's identity is a bit complicated, it is rumored that he is a descendant of the Liao King of the previous dynasty, but it has been more than two hundred years, don't say that he is just a descendant, even if it is a descendant, it doesn't matter if it is a descendant." Yuan Chengqiao educated Song Ning, "Lord Song, although you are a young man with a lot of ideas, and you dare to do it, dare to take responsibility, but you are young in the end, you have never seen many things, so you are afraid and cowering, and you can't help but make a big fuss." ”

"You just have to think about it, the gold mine is real."

Song Ning still grabbed the question just now: "My friend was deceived, who are you looking for?" ”

"What do you mean?" Yuan Chengqiao hurriedly stood up, stared at Song Ning and asked, "Do you think your friend was deceived by us?" ”

Song Ning also stood up and looked at him with his arms crossed: "I'll just ask you, who should my friend look for if he cheats?" ”

"Whoever lied to you is looking for someone." Yuan Chengqiao shouted, "We only accept one hundred and fifty shares from the outside world, and he also lets them buy shares in it, who can blame this?" ”

Bang! Song Ning slapped the table and shouted: "I will ask you three times about this policy of benefiting the people." The second question is, how many people can benefit from your 150 shares? ”

"Three questions to you, have you investigated how many people are pooling money to buy shares in addition to Lai County? Lord Yuan, are you benefiting the people, you are a pit people! ”

Yuan Chengqiao was stunned by her, and then grabbed the second question and retorted to Song Ning: "Yes, this official's policy of benefiting the people is not as powerful as that of Lord Song, what education, what people's livelihood, what kind of agricultural employment, good policies are all what you Lord Song think, don't you want us to think about it?" ”

"One hundred and fifty people are not benefiting the people, but your Lord Song's big policy is benefiting the people?"

Yuan Chengqiao roared: "Lord Song, you are too rampant at a young age. As he spoke, he said to Wang Fuxian, "My lord, the lower official guarantees that there is no problem in this matter, if someone says there is a problem with you, it must be jealous." As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, we are a seaside state capital, and we have made a fortune by relying on this gold mine. ”

As he spoke, he stared at Song Ning: "Please don't meddle with some people." ”

Wang Fuxian is not stupid, although the three questions Song Ning just asked, although they are too sharp, but the questions are all on the point, he asked Yuan Chengqiao: "Lord Yuan, these three questions also feel reasonable, especially the third question, do you know how many people outside have started to make money through this gold mine?" ”

Yuan Chengqiao replied: "If you go back to your lordship, Xiaguan is only the prefect of Dengzhou, and he can only manage the affairs of Dengzhou, if someone else steals and cheats and cheats, it is also a local mismanagement, how can you still let Xiaguan be responsible?" ”

Wang Fuxian frowned and said, "Lord Yuan, what you said is a quibble." If this incident is true, then the source is Laixian. ”

"Of course you are responsible for this responsibility."

Yuan Chengqiao looked at Wang Fuxian, looked at Song Ning again, and suddenly said: "Everyone knows that Song Shi'an saved your life, Lord Wang, and now that the official has a policy of benefiting the people, Lord Wang and Lord Song are worried that the official will steal the limelight?" ”

"There are so many officials in Shandong Province, do they all have to carry a sedan chair for Lord Song?"

Wang Fuxian slapped the table abruptly and shouted, "What are you talking about?" I'm worried that you're stealing the limelight, and you haven't done anything, so what are we robbing? Besides, with your 150 shares, what limelight do you have? ”

"What the hell is in mind, the two adults know in their hearts." Yuan Chengqiao said, "I'm very optimistic about this matter, and none of you can stop me." ”

That's what he's going to do to make a name for himself.

"Don't be angry, sir." Song Ning comforted Wang Fuxian, and said to Yuan Chengqiao, "Lord Yuan, my friend's money was cheated because of your gold mine, I want to investigate this case thoroughly, if it is found to be related to you, what should you do?" ”

"Of course I'm going to resign and be guilty."

"The point is to lose money!" Song Ning stared at Yuan Chengqiao, "It has nothing to do with me whether you are an official or in prison, but you can't cheat my friends and the people's money." ”

Yuan Chengqiao said: "Heh! Lord Song is really thinking about the people, then it depends on your ability! ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

There is a momentum that will immediately rise to the top, and you can't climb high.

Wang Fuxian was dizzy, and said to Song Ning: "This is a mallet!" ”

When encountering other people's questions, he immediately judged that the other party was jealous and came to sabotage his plan to steal his own limelight.

This is a manifestation of brainlessness and incompetence.

"However, do you really want to find out about the three links of Ma that were defrauded of money?" Wang Fuxian asked Song Ning.

Song Ning should be: "This matter will definitely not work by Yuan Chengqiao, we must stop it in time, otherwise, the final result is not something that he Yuan Chengqiao can bear." ”

"Makes sense. Both the official and Master Shan have written to you as proof, and you can go to Lai County to do business. ”

Song Ning should be: "Yes, then the next official will leave in the afternoon." ”

"But you want to have manpower?"

Song Ning shook his head: "The Xiaguan Li Torture Hall is full of talents, so don't use it for the time being." After a moment's thought, he said, "But you may need the help of funding." ”

Wang Fuxian laughed angrily: "Do things quickly, don't be harmed by Yuan Chengqiao's mallet." ”

His term of office is also approaching, and he also wants to return to Beijing to fight for a place.

If you want to go back, you have to have political achievements, and at the moment Song Ning is his greatest hope.

For Wang Fuxian, Shandong's political achievements are his springboard, and of course it is also for Song Ning, otherwise she would not be so conscientious.

Back at the Torture Hall, everyone was waiting for her, and she said Yuan Chengqiao's words again: "...... Leaving Qiao Si and Uncle Wang to handle affairs at home, Mr. Yuan was in charge, and the others went to Dengzhou with me. ”

"Do you want to pack your clothes?" Ranfeng asked.

Song Ning bowed: "Yes!" ”

After the hour, Song Ning, Zhao Yi, Yan Feng, and Lu Miaomiao rode to Dengzhou.

The two-hundred-mile walk is not fast, almost stop in the town, order a little food in the tea house and restaurant, and listen to the surrounding people chatting and talking.
