Returning to his hometown, Zheng Xiong's mood at the moment is completely different.

The Ministry of Industry can be said to be the yamen where Zheng Xiong came the most.

It's also a lot of dealings.

From the establishment of Huimin Pharmacy to a series of construction projects in the back, the Ministry of Industry is indispensable.

From a petty official to the chief official of Ying Tianfu, the Ministry of Industry has also witnessed the rise of Zheng Xiong step by step.

The change of status also brings different treatment.

In the past, it was the reception of the Ministry of Industry every time, but now Zheng Xiong enters the door, and Zheng Xiong's robe alone is daunting.

After a year, the people in the Ministry of Engineering have changed a lot, and they have not seen any familiar faces.

Others were afraid and didn't dare to step forward, so Zheng Xiong went straight to the Ministry of Industry and asked.

"This official has a drawing here, you can show me how much it will cost."

Hearing this, the director of the Ministry of Industry, who was busy, glanced up, saw Zheng Xiong's official uniform, and hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, put on a smiling face, got up and saluted, and asked respectfully.

"This lord is polite, the lower officials are on the top, can you ask the adult's name."

The attitude of the new principal is okay, just ask for a name, although I don't know him, Zheng Xiong still told the name.

"This official Zheng Xiong, the current Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin, you can take a look at this drawing."

The main thing does not dare to be trusted, Zheng Xiong's name is famous in Yingtianfu, and he is at the top of the topic list during this time.

This can be seen from the two successive marquises.

Not to mention that Zheng Xiong is still a memorable role for the Ministry of Industry, and hurriedly bowed down to take over the drawings.

After a careful look at it, he replied.

"There are too many things built by adults, and if you don't consider other factors such as size, interior furnishings, etc., if you build it by our engineering department, it will take about 200,000 yuan."

"What?"

It's really dark, it scared Zheng Xiong, his belongings are 100,000 yuan, even if you add the money from the pharmacy, it is enough.

And also do not take into account the furnishings, that is, the interior decoration.

It is equivalent to spending money to build a blank, and 200,000 yuan will be gone, but he will have nothing left.

In the end, the unfinished building was properly unfinished, and when something changed, the entire Ying Tianfu was about to go bankrupt.

The price is so high, it is really not within Zheng Xiong's budget, and he can't help but exclaim.

Seeing this, the chief explained two sentences.

"My lord, you have a lot of things to build, and this price is still given according to the general construction, if the materials used are better, 200,000 yuan will definitely be able to survive."

Hearing this, Zheng Xiong's heart was already wow cool.

I can't stop 200,000 guan, what else is there to say.

Besides, this time is different from the past, I am no longer a big dog in the pharmacy, and I can make it casually when I have money.

Now that he is in charge of Ying Tianfu, he wants money from top to bottom, and he really can't make such a desperate move.

In the face of this unbearable weight, Zheng Xiong retreated and said immediately.

"Forget it, the official will go back and think about it again, and go."

"Your Excellency, please."

After speaking, the principal sent Zheng Xiong to the door with a smile and watched Zheng Xiong leave.

After visiting the Ministry of Industry, it did not meet expectations, and it was still far from it, and Zheng Xiong felt depressed for a while.

Sullen returned to the mansion, Zheng Xiong didn't think about it, and lay his body in front of the table.

If you don't have money, it's useless to think about it.

When the others saw Zheng Xiong's expression, they didn't dare to touch their heads, after all, the three fires of the new official were not put off.

No one knows when Zheng Xiong will light the first fire in order to establish his authority, so they are all cautious.

In this way, I stayed in peace until the afternoon.

I don't know when, Tong Ju walked in and said respectfully to Zheng Xiong, who was roasting the fire.

"Fu Yin, there is a case outside, because it involves officials, and Lord Fu Yin has to go to adjudicate, I don't know if Lord Fu Yin has time."

When Zheng Xiong heard this, he put away his hands on the fire.

Just in a panic, he stood up and walked forward, saying to the general judge as he walked.

"Let's go, lead the way."

In the lobby, Zheng Xiong slowly walked from the side.

In the solemn public hall, Zheng Xiong walked to the desk step by step and sat on a chair.

Looking at the affairs on the desk, the shocking wood, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, tokens, etc. came into view.

In the middle of the desk, a flat pleadings were quietly displayed, waiting to be read.

Under the stage, there were two kneeling people, one of them dressed plainly and with a sad face.

One person has the temperament of a reader, with a smile on his face, as if he is holding the victory.

The difference between the defendant and the plaintiff can be seen from the two different people.

Zheng Xiong took the complaint and watched quietly.

The content of the complaint is a story of borrowing money.

The defendant took the money from the plaintiff with the family's real estate and land, but now the date has come, but the defendant refuses to return it, and now it is in court.

After reading the complaint, Zheng Xiong looked at the general judgment suspiciously.

As if knowing the meaning of Zheng Xiong's gaze, Tong Ju explained.

"My lord, the defendant is the son of a thousand households, because he has been guarding in other places all the year round, and his mother died early, so he is the only one in Yingtianfu."

"The one who is suing now also has a background, and he is the nephew of the right attendant of the military department."

After listening to this, Zheng Xiong said speechlessly.

"Because these two have backgrounds, so ask me to take the blame!"

Although he didn't know much about the word back, the general judgment was that he sensed a trace of unhappiness from Zheng Xiong's unhappy face, and quickly explained.

"Don't hide it, there are some problems with the loan, it's a dispute for gambling, the interest is too heavy, and it can't be repaid, and it should be punished according to the law, but how to punish it, it's difficult to do, so ~~"

Zheng Xiong spoke directly and interrupted the sentence's words.

"It's not the same for half a day, it was originally according to the law, what kind of eunuchs are there."

"After the trial is completed, copy the decree a hundred times, and hand it over to the official to see when the copy is finished, and the official is not in a hurry, I will wait for you."

This sentence is not heavy, it is really uncomfortable, a hundred times, what a waste of paper!

However, compared to offending people, it still makes the general sentence feel acceptable, and bows down and says yes.

Ignoring the verdict, Zheng Xiong looked at the audience and asked.

"Two, one is the nephew of the right squire of the military department, and the other is the son of a thousand households, with a deep background! If you want the official to say, wouldn't it be better than anyone's background, and the people said yes. ”

Zheng Xiong said such an intriguing sentence in a slightly ridiculous tone.

The expressions of the two people in the audience were also different.

One person's expression became more and more bitter, and he lowered his head even lower.

One person is even more meaningful, after all, according to Zheng Xiong's judgment, the obvious advantage is in himself.

The proud man hurriedly thanked him.

"Although the words are so, but he is not a bully, this excuse clearly writes, he is really a little nonsense, and I hope that the adults can handle it impartially, and they are still fair in the next one."

To give you face, you really climbed up, and Zheng Xiong was a little speechless.

However, what was said in the last few sentences was still reasonable, and Zheng Xiong did not pursue it too much.
