Chapter 68 Bribery by the First Assistant

Old Madam Shen's eyelids jumped violently, and she was a little restless: "Miss, who are you?!" ”

Li Guangchen said: "Then why did you come to me?" You probably didn't think about coming to me before. ”

"Yes, it's because of the old five's family, she said that Miss said......"

Li Guangchen said as if encouragingly: "What did the fifth lady say?!" ”

No one wants to curse their own family, Old Madam Shen said; "She said that Miss said that my family would be ruined."

Li Guangchen nodded: "That's right, I said it, if you don't have this attitude now, there will be no one left!" ”

The old lady squeezed her hand, raised her head suddenly, and said, "Zhen'er said, Miss is a friend and not an enemy, so can Miss show us a clear way?!"

She believed it, so she thought of a countermeasure.

Li Guangchen was waiting for Shen Tianlan before, but people never came to the door, and the old lady Shen came to her to apologize, which she really didn't expect, and after seeing the old lady's face, she knew that the old lady was in trouble, and her liver and intestines were broken, so she understood why the old lady would rather deal with herself than go to Shen Tianlan.

The old lady has deep lines on her neck, which is hanging, but the corners of her eyes are not up or down, although she is powerful, she is a good person, but it is a pity.

Li Guangchen has a good impression of Old Madam Shen, since he knows that she and Shen Tianlan have a direct holiday, in fact, she doesn't wait for Shen Tianlan, she wants to keep Shen Weiqing, and the old lady may be the same.

She said: "The old lady and I have a wish, that is, to see that Shen Weiqing is safe and sound, so if the old lady can trust me, you have to let Shen Weiqing kneel, and kneel until he is not allowed by the etiquette law, abandoned by the family, and has nothing." ”

Old Madam Shen looked at Li Guangchen with wide eyes.

Li Guangchen nodded: "Your grandson is the person I want to protect!" ”

……

……

Shen Tianlan asked You Qi to find the big tree and wanted to meet Qi Zhao.

Qi took care of only one old lady who went to see the young lady, he was not easy to follow, and he was not so worried, so he waited in another private room and agreed to let Shen Tianlan see him.

As soon as the two met, Shen Tianlan just made a move.

This is also clearly stipulated in the law of the imperial court, within three grades of official ranks, bow hands, kneel within six grades, and kowtow within nine grades, which is what the court wants to see.

If you meet outside, it's another etiquette,

Another point, if this person is outside and does not wear court clothes, no matter how high the difference is, there is no need to kowtow, just do a simple salute, because people don't want to reveal their identity.

Shen Tianlan is the crown prince and Taibao, a real first-class official, and when he goes to other places, even if he is a relative of the emperor and has a higher status than him, he has to flatter him.

Qi Zhao knew that it was because he pinched the handle of others that they were willing to bow their heads.

So he didn't hold it up, and called the big tree: "Give Lord Shen a seat!" ”

Shen Tianlan was already used to sitting in a chair, and he really felt a little strange to sit on a small show, and he looked at Qi Zhao in surprise.

Qi Zhao thought to himself: "Although you can't sweep Shoufu's face, you can't be too used to it, this kind of black-faced minister, you must at least have a little dignity yourself, so that he can respect you, this is Ma Wei." ”

Obviously, it was a little useful, and the other party was alert.

Qi Zhao asked directly, "What is Lord Shen looking for me?" Pay back?! ”

Shen Tianlan: "......"

"Bugu heard that Gongzi has a considerable stake in Qicaixia, but a few days ago, when a batch of goods was crossing the canal, it was swallowed by bandits in the mountains.

It's not safe to walk on a cargo ship! ”

The capital is located in the north, does not grow mulberry linen, does not produce silk, and there is no coastal port, and all items such as cloth need to cross the canal.

On the canal, there are not only bandits on both sides of the canal, but also tax checkpoints set up by the imperial court.

For example, a cargo ship of 200,000 yuan can buy 800,000 yuan when it is transported to the capital, but this kind of layer of dials has to remove more than 500,000 yuan.

Even if you earn 100,000 yuan, you still have to store manpower, and the premise is that you have to sell it.

Deeply hurt the interests of businessmen.

However, not only did no one dare to rob the ships of the political secretary or the imperial court, but all checkpoints were exempt from taxes.

The ships of the chief priest belonged to the chamberlain, that is, the eunuch of the celebrant of ceremonies, which was the private property of the royal family.

The heads and assistants of the cabinets of other ministries can write a note, and they can be transported by official ships.

Shen Tianlan has been in power for 20 years, and it can't be said that he hasn't written a note, but in the end, this is a short-term Taicang business, and he only did one or two favors at the beginning.

Now what he means is that he can help Qi Zhao's business write notes, take official ships, a batch of goods, and make a net profit of 200,000 taels of silver.

The temptation is too great!

Qi Zhao said in his heart: "I have no intersection with Lao Shen, if you want to talk about the things you threatened before, he gave the silver, and he knows that I won't say it, and I am not stupid enough to tell the emperor about his pomp."

So why is Shen Tianlan willing to put such a heavy bargaining chip to come to me, it seems that this matter is very important, it should be more than the above things! ”

He said: "You court lords know that you sell Guanzi, are you looking for me to help me compensate for my losses?"

Why don't you just say what's the matter with me?! ”

Shen Tianlan is also a simple person: "Please let my grandson go, his great-grandfather will be buried, and now kneeling in front of a woman and refusing to get up will delay the child's voice, and the son must raise his noble hand." ”

Qi Zhao said with a smile: "Your grandson wants to kneel by himself, it has nothing to do with the master, how can you ask for me." ”

also gave 200,000 taels of strips as gifts, which was valuable.

Shen Tianlan said: "But that young lady will listen to you, if you let him let go of the view, won't it be?!" ”

"Listen, listen to me?!" Qi Zhao suddenly became serious and shouted in a low voice: "Boss, do you really think she will listen to me?!" ”

Shen Tianlan said: "Isn't it a child's woman?!" ”

The old ministers, who were accustomed to scheming and conspiracies, were suddenly confused.

Then why did the prince stand up for a woman?!

It can't be because of justice,

Looking at the eyes of the third prince staring at him expecting him to say a few more words, it was a bit terrifying, and he still ignored Hang Erlang.

"Childe, you ......"

Suddenly, a person walked out from behind the screen: "My lord is disturbed, and I am looking for a son to borrow a step to speak." ”

This person is Feng Shaoyu, Shen Tianlan knew that there would be someone behind the prince, so he didn't panic and returned the salute.

Feng Shaoyu shouted with joy: "Childe!" ”

Qi Zhao said: "What are you talking about? People are happy with what Lord Shen said! ”

Shen Tianlan thought to herself, I didn't feel happy.

What Feng Shaoyu wants to tell Qi Zhao is the matter of the ship, don't do business because of a woman.

They went to the window to talk, and the light rain was still pouring outside, and Qi Zhao opened the window, and the noise outside came in, so that their conversation would not be heard by anyone!
