The man said, "They want to ask for fifteen hundred taels of silver, but I wonder if they can have them ready." ”

Hu Kangzhi was surprised: "Ding Chang really owes so much? They are deliberately blackmailing! ”

The man sighed: "Who knows? But they said that they had documents to prove it, and if they didn't pay back the money, they were ready to sue the official. ”

"That guy never told me the truth, what a bastard!" Hu Kangzhi panicked, and spat hatefully, "But I am now holding the old lady's birthday banquet, and there are ten thousand ...... in the mansion How is it good to entertain guests and not be able to come up with such money for a while? ”

"Why don't you take out some of it first and stabilize them."

Kang was in a hurry, how could he think about it, went to the back room and summed it up with his family, and finally took out five hundred taels of silver and handed it to the man, and the latter took the order.

Kang Zhi returned to the study, still uneasy, and at this time he suddenly heard the people from the Ministry coming, and had to greet him in person. The other party looked at him for a moment and asked, "Why is the adult's face bad?" ”

Kang Zhi was afraid of being blamed, so he didn't dare to tell Ding Chang's story, but said: "This is caused by insomnia recently, and it's not a big deal." ”

"Then please invite the king of Wanjun."

"Where does Lord Chen want the county king to go?"

"Go to the palace to face the saint." The messenger replied.

"Xuanjian Kangjun Wang Wan and Shun Shangdian——"

The guards outside the door heard the shouts of Chief Manager Shen, and hurriedly slammed the gun to the ground, and instantly stood upright and motionless.

I saw Wan Heshun bending his body, stepping into the main hall, kneeling heavily at the foot of the jade steps, with a worried expression: "The criminal minister meets Your Majesty." ”

"You came to the capital a long time ago, right?" As he spoke, the emperor waved his hand to close the temple door, "If you leave your post without permission, you should know that you are guilty of a lot of crimes." ”

"The old minister has been loyal to the country for more than 40 years, and he doesn't want to lose a penny to His Majesty, but ......" Speaking of this, Wan Heshun whimpered, "But that Lu Fangxuan pressed forward step by step, forcibly seized the power of my deputy general, and conspired with his minions to prepare to attack the old minister's station." If the old minister forbears again, he will use his sword! Please make your Majesty clear about right and wrong, and depose him according to his crimes. ”

The emperor was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "This is a big matter, don't just listen to your side of the county king. Yu Shitai also mentioned this matter a few days ago, so I have ordered Lu Fangxuan to come to Beijing, and after he arrives, you will confront him in court. ”

"What? I thought I would be at peace here...... Why do you have to bump into him? Wan Heshun chuckled in his heart, looked around in a panic, gritted his teeth and thought: "It turns out that this is what Chen Dang does not want to tell me!" Could it be that Chen is ready to abandon his official position? If not, how can the DPRK and China stand on three legs, and they will be able to ...... for a long time'

"Does Qing have any objections?"

"Don't dare, don't dare," Wan Heshun came back to his senses and shook his head frequently, "It's just that the minister has come all the way to Beijing and has nowhere to live, so I don't know if the emperor has a gift?" ”

The emperor smiled: "This is natural. Chief Shen immediately drafted a decree for me: the king of Gawan County was appointed as the captain and a mansion on Taiping Street. ”

Wan Heshun kowtowed and thanked him, didn't say much, and then retreated.

Shen Jing escorted the emperor all the way back to the palace, just took off the dragon robe for him, and was about to order an incense stick, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him and asked, "Do you think it's strange about the recent events?" ”

Shen Jing's legs were weak, and he knelt down all of a sudden: "Shen Jing is just a minion, he doesn't know the government, if he mistakes the holy judgment because of nonsense, it will be a capital crime!" ”

"We are all people in the bureau of Comrade Chen," the emperor showed a meaningful smile, "There is no one to be compared to being an official to this point." ”

Shen Jing's face turned pale: "Your Majesty won't feel ......"

"No, sometimes I don't care if I fall into someone else's chess game. The important thing is whether he will follow the rules of all this. Now that he has brought in Wan and Lu, his intention is self-evident - to bring down the Ye Party. If he is so sincere, why don't I let him go with the flow? ”

"Your Majesty is going to give up Ye Yongjia?" Shen actually felt incredible.

The Emperor nodded resolutely: "As long as the scales are not tilted, no matter who can be abandoned." ”

Wan Heshun faced the saint this time, which can be regarded as completely piercing the window paper. There was a commotion from top to bottom, but Ye Yongjia kept pretending to be calm, and it was only in the military department that he was willing to tell Cui Yi the truth: "Ding Chang didn't lie to us. In this way, the situation is complicated. ”

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much," Cui Yijin persuaded, "Wan Heshun has just settled down, and the layout of the Chen Party still needs time, but we can act tomorrow." As long as he preempts them, presents the results of the investigation to the emperor, and forces Lan Yuan to bite out the Chen party, it will be done. ”

"That friend of yours can be trusted?" Ye Yongjia asked.

"I only believed him," Cui Yi said, "and it is said that he pretended to be good in the Hu Mansion that day." ”

"At tomorrow's birthday banquet, you have to tell him to move faster," Ye Yongjia sighed worriedly, "King Yi's cough is deteriorating rapidly, and now he can't even get out." If we go out of business, we will completely lose this line of life. ”

Cui Yi felt that the task was difficult, and he, who had always been frivolous, became extremely serious at the moment, and replied, "Understood." ”

Next. At a quarter of noon, Hu Kang's house.

The 'friend' that Cui Yi was counting on had quietly blended into the crowd of Daoxi, and he queued up for a while before he went to the middle hall to see Hu Kangzhi. He deliberately furrowed his eyebrows, looked left and right, and whispered to the latter, "I sent your money, but ...... Debt collectors are not easy to talk about. ”

Hu Kangzhi's eyes widened in horror, and he hurriedly found an excuse to get out, and invited him to the study to talk in detail.

The man spoke with confidence: "Their attitude is very bad, and when they saw that you didn't give all the money in one go, they were furious, and if you didn't say that you were delaying the army, they would sue the official; In a hurry, the grass people said that you have borrowed money from the four sides, worked hard to raise it, and there is material evidence. They believed it and allowed it to be postponed for a few more days. I wonder if you will be able to come up with the money during this period? ”

Hu Kangzhi tugged at his beard and meditated, almost pulling off a few of his beards, but he still hadn't come up with a solution, so he shook his head in a hurry: "Oops! I can't make it up for a month! ”

The man took advantage of the situation to offer advice: "It's better to take advantage of today's moment to borrow a sum from all the visitors to save the emergency." ”

"Very good, very good!" Hu Kangzhi held his hand excitedly, "But I'm afraid that he will suddenly change his face, and he won't wait patiently." ”

"I want to think about it...... You should have a list of treats, right? I'll show it to the debt collectors and let them know that you have the help of these colleagues, and you'll have a score in your heart! ”

Hu Kangzhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked for a list from his wife and handed it to this man. The man took the list and ran out of Hu's mansion like a fly, but instead of going out of the city, he went straight to the restaurant and handed it to a scrivener steadily.
