Ximenqing was unusual, like a person who was fine, as if it was another person who was angry and scolded just now.

Unhurriedly, he took the new tea that was re-served by his subordinates, and took a leisurely sip, "Go, wrap 100 taels of silver and send it to this new Dutou." ”

"What?"

The butler thought for a moment that he had misheard.

Some can't keep up with the rhythm of their own masters.

"That'...... Why did you ...... just now?"

"Nonsense, if I don't get angry, how can the dog be strong? A few hundred taels of silver every year for filial piety money in vain? ”

After the housekeeper went down, Ximenqing sat upright for a while, thinking of a delicate little lady who had just been brought back from the backyard, and suddenly an evil aura surged up from the lower half of his body.

"It's time to put the fire out......"

On the second day, Cao Jun was sitting in the room when Li Quan suddenly led an old man in.

After Li Quan finished explaining the identity and background of the other party, Cao Jun was slightly stunned, and the expression on his face was a little stunned.

Then, he saw a pile of neatly arranged silver handed over by the other party.

After a cursory glance, there were no less than a hundred taels.

Ximen Qing actually sent someone to send him silver?

Cao Jun always felt that this was a bit absurd.

Could it be that Zhou Zunfeng's arrangement had an unexpected effect?

The housekeeper changed his caution in front of Ximenqing, and after a generous salute, he took out a eloquent posture and politely complimented: "My lord knows that he is in office alone, and he has not brought his family, and his life is always a little inconvenient. ”

"Only a fool excuses himself, that is...... That's still not enough! Cao Jun secretly slandered, a little greedy and insufficient, and the stunned expression on his face had been adjusted.

"It's easy to say...... it's easy to say"

He quietly accepted the money and said a few polite words to the other party.

Unexpectedly, after a few words, his style suddenly changed, and he asked nakedly: "I still live in the county dormitory, which is inconvenient...... There is still a gap in the settling-in allowance in hand, I wonder if your Ximen officials are willing to help? ”

The housekeeper stared at Cao Jun dumbfounded, and found that although the other party was joking, the expression on his face was meticulous and serious.

At first glance, you can see that it is a real game.

Is there anyone like that?

The housekeeper is sent out by Ximen Qing every year to send silver everywhere, and the county order county lord has also been to the mansion a few times, which time the other party is not polite, compliment each other.

Today's bizarre encounter is the first time I have encountered it.

For a while, he muttered on the spot, not knowing how to answer.

Thinking about Ximenqing's advice before going out, I really don't want to offend these public people, if I refuse on the spot, wouldn't the 100 taels sent out in front of me be a waste?

But I am afraid that the other party's lion will open his mouth and end up with an embarrassing ending on both sides.

After pondering left and right for a while, he whispered tentatively: "I don't know how much is still lacking in the house?" ”

"100 taels!"

Cao Jun stretched out a finger and shook it at the housekeeper.

"If the officials of your Ximen family are willing to help, then it would be great, and his business in the future will be my business, but it is incumbent on me to give orders."

Cao Jun's sonorous and powerful statement, and the beautiful words were earth-shattering, which made the housekeeper finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Ximenqing's side can be regarded as having an explanation.

200 taels of silver, is it worth it to buy a friendship with a new leader?

That's none of his business.

"Please be calm, don't be impatient, wait for me to go home, and reply after asking the master's house."

The butler politely bowed and hurriedly took his leave.

Li Quan, who was standing on the side and watching the whole time, was already stunned, he trembled and pointed to the white flowers and silver on the table, and asked in a stammering tone: "Dutou, is this ...... These are all given to you by Ximenqing? ”

"I remember that Lei Zhutou and Zhang Zhusi in the county government received an example of 50 taels per person at the end of last year, which is like Cao Dutou, and 200 taels were knocked in a few words."

Based on Li Quan's attitude towards the housekeeper of Xifu, it is inferred that the remaining 100 taels and eighty percent will not be able to escape.

"Ahem...... Pay attention to your words, people have good intentions, I can't excuse myself, how can you say so unbearable? ”

Cao Jun waved his hand disappreciatively, signaling him to get out of here quickly, and stay here as an eyesore.

Although I don't know why Ximenqing sent him money, this kind of good thing sent to the door, the fool refused.

He and Ximenqing are opponents, but now one is in the dark and the other is in the light.

Sooner or later, you have to fight each other, and you will live and die.

Although it is somewhat disgraceful to use the means of information asymmetry to trap the opponent, it can weaken the opponent's strength and strengthen our strength at the same time.

Such means, you might as well come to some more.

Cao Jun is not a pedantic person, and he knows the truth that 'no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, if you catch a mouse, you are a good cat'.

The financial problem that plagued him was solved in an instant, and the agenda of helping Wuda open a store was raised again.

He had inquired before, a small storefront along the main street, if he wanted to put it down, he didn't even think about it without 300 taels of silver.

If it is a back street like Zishi Street, the cost of about 150 taels is enough.

plus the 50 taels of silver sent out in the early stage, only Cao Jun needs to take 100 taels of silver out.

As for the extra 100 taels, Cao Jun kept it for other purposes.

Soon after, as Cao Jun estimated, the housekeeper of Xifu sent 100 taels of silver over again, and by the way, he brought the cordial greetings of the Ximen officials and the friendship worth 100 taels of silver.

Cao Junxu and the snake accompanied him to greet him, and by the way, he learned that Ximenqing had accepted another concubine, counting the other female dependents in the backyard, a total of no less than ten people.

This is not counting the maids who serve the concubines' daily life.

What a fierce man!

If this continues, even an iron rod will sooner or later be sharpened into a needle.

Ordinary people really can't stand it.

After sending off the housekeeper of Xifu, Cao Jun cleaned up and went straight to Zishi Street with 200 taels of silver.

Before he arrived at the door of Wu Da's house, he was blocked by Wang Po who was waiting on the side.

"Cao Dutou, you have to be the master of the old body, today the people from the county government are here again......"

Wang Po knelt down in front of Cao Jun with a shout, and cried to Cao Jun with a handful of snot and tears about what happened this morning.
