Xiao Shuxian heard what he said and said, "Forget it, you don't know about me?" ”

"When you said this before, every time I prepared a gift for Lord Yin, you sent it to Yao Mengmeng."

"It's not me saying that if you really like her, then take her back, I don't object to it at all."

"I wish you could charge a few more rooms, so that we can renew the incense for our Wang family."

"Look at those small businessmen, their capital is not as good as yours, and they become groom officials every year."

"It's you, just a Yao Mengmeng, who has been busy for so many years, and has given a lot of gold beads around your head, and you are still green or blue, what is this called."

"Don't talk about the face of our Wang family, even my father's side, the Xiao family's face has been lost with you."

Wang Chaozong said: "What does this have to do with losing face? ”

Xiao Shuxian said: "Why doesn't it matter? ”

"I'll tell you, in the future, you won't waste time on that Yao Mengmeng's body."

"I heard that this woman has a small face, a pointed chin, and a bee waist and thin legs, and she is not a child-giving appearance."

"What are you talking about?" Wang Chaozong saw that the more she talked, the more energetic she became, and as she spoke, she went directly out of the room and hid out.

Xiao Shu is virtuous, take Wang Chaozong's no recruitment, let him take a concubine and die.

In the blink of an eye, the next day came.

Today is exactly the end of the five-day deadline.

In the morning, the three major merchants sent 700,000 taels of silver to the Yanzheng Yamen.

He Yan looked at the pile of boxes in the courtyard of the Yamen of the Salt Courtyard, and looked at the boxes himself.

After Master He led the people, checked the count, and confirmed that there was no problem with the quantity and silver, He Yan said with satisfaction: "Very good, now the first donation is complete." ”

"And then there are the remaining 310,000 taels of silver."

"That's it, wait until the emperor who sent me to the excerpt approves it."

"When the time comes, I will send someone to deliver the silver, and Mr. Wang will also set off for Jianchang."

"Yes, sir." Wang Chaozong responded.

He Yan said: "Mr. Ma, I am going to let you send the silver to Beijing this time, what do you think?" ”

Ma Dechang clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for your grace." ”

He Yan said: "Okay, when the matter is over, everyone will go back first, and I will inform you on the day of departure." ”

As soon as the three major merchants heard this, they all left.

At this time, He Yan's recital happened to be in the capital today.

After the emperor saw it, he saw that it was okay to send 700,000 taels first, and Zhu approved a word on He Yan's recital.

At Heshen's house, Master He's letter to Heshen was also delivered.

At this time, He Shen was writing in his garden, and Liu Quan respectfully said: "Master, Yangzhou Ma Dechang, Ma Zongshang, the things that honor the master have been delivered, this is a gift list." ”

He Shen: "What's the matter with him?" ”

Liu Quandao: "He said that after Akzhan arrived in Yangzhou, he did things without care, for fear that he would stab the hornet's nest and cause trouble." ”

He Shen was unhappy when he heard this: "Threaten me...... I don't know what to lift, and I don't listen. ”

"What's the letter over there?"

Liu Quan: "The letter from Qingmatou said that the salt merchant had an account book in his hand, which was about the whereabouts of the deficit in the cloud library. ”

When He Shen heard this, he said, "Where are the account books?" ”

Liu Quan: "It should be in the hands of those salt merchants." ”

"They rely on this to save their lives."

He Shen thought for a while and said: "This is not an account book, this is a barrel of explosives, and if you don't get it, you will be uneasy to blow up and down the court." ”

"This reminds me of the Wang Kangwang donation case...... In the end, the yamen in Gansu could not be opened. ”

"Find a way to get the ledger in your hands, it's okay to destroy it, but it can't fall into the hands of Akzhan."

As soon as Liu Quan heard this, he hurried to make arrangements.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, He Yan had just finished handling all the salt affairs reported below.

Suddenly, a man dressed as a general entered the yamen of the salt courtyard with a few soldiers, and shouted before he entered the back ya: "Akzhan, Akzhan, dare to come to Lao Tzu's territory, you come out for me." ”

When He Yan heard this shout, he smiled in his heart and said, "Yes, Mu Xing'a, the governor of Caoyun, is here." ”

Then I saw Mu Xing'a walk in, and when he saw He Yan, he began to stare at He Yan with wide eyes, and then suddenly rushed up.

After He Yan had a friendly fall with his relatives, he went to get wine and food for Master He, and he was talking to Mu Xing'a here.

When the food and drinks were ready, He Yan smiled and said, "Let's try this egg, I just got it from a general merchant recently, the egg fed with ginseng." ”

Mu Xing'a unceremoniously grabbed a chopstick when he heard it, and said with a smile after eating: "It tastes really good." ”

"But the military gate, I used to remember that you never accepted gifts."

"I have to warn you, in this prosperous place, you must be careful in this regard, this money can kill people."

He Yan saw that he cared about himself and smiled: "Don't worry, I didn't ask for anything else, I asked for a few eggs, and I also fed the chicken formula, I raised it myself." ”

"In that regard, I'm not going to do it yet."

Mu Xing'a nodded and smiled while eating: "That's good." ”

He Yan said: "Let me ask you, can you rely on these soldiers in your hands now?" ”

Mu Xing'a said: "The people up and down the canal don't dare to protect it, there are many people, and there are green gangs sandwiched in it." ”

"The 3,000 people in Qingjiangpu were brought out by my Lao Mu."

"The military gate is whatever you want."

He Yan raised the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Okay, with your words, your brother's heart will be steadfast in him, do it." ”

Mu Xing'a raised the wine bowl and smiled: "Dry." ”

Then the two of them ate meat and drank wine in large bowls.

Until Mu Xing'a drank unconscious, He Yan made him a bedroom to sleep.

On the second day, He Yan took Master He to Wang Chaozong's house.

As soon as Wang Chaozong heard that He Yan was coming, he hurriedly came out to greet him.

Wang Chaozong said: "I don't know if the adults have arrived, I have missed the welcome, and please atone for my sins." ”

"My lord, please."

He Yan said: "You're welcome. ”

After speaking, the three of them walked into the living room, sat down, and after serving tea, Wang Chaozong asked, "I don't know what happened to the adults coming over this time?" ”

He Yan said: "When I came to Yangzhou this time, the emperor specially explained that there was a Wang Chaozong among the salt merchants, saying that you are a person who understands people. ”

"If I encounter any difficulties here, I might as well listen to your opinion."

Wang Chaozong said: "Don't dare, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

He Yan said: "Since I came to Yangzhou, the first thing I heard was that you said that illegal salt was overflowing, and I haven't forgotten it." ”

"I came to you today, just to talk about this illegal salt, I don't know what you think?"

Wang Chaozong said: "This gentleman is righteous, and the villain is profitable, no matter what time it is, there are always more villains than gentlemen." ”

"As long as it is profitable to sell illicit salt, there will be ignorant people who will flock to it."

"I'm afraid that the adults just killed the Yangtze River with blood red, and this private salt is not clean."
