Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Tingjing instructed Liu Jing, Ma Ming and others to follow the plan and rush to Qianqingmen to do something. The emperor said that he would only discuss the Baoquan Bureau case today, and all other matters would be suspended. Chen Tingjing then played: "The emperor, the ministers, together with the household servant Lang Ke Kun, the Baoquan Bureau Lang Zhong Supervisor Xu Da, etc., set up a furnace in front of the yamen of the Baoquan Bureau, looked at the casting of the three furnaces, and checked the copper, craftsmen, and materials required in detail one by one, and found that all the expenses were overreported in the past and should be reduced. 1. For every 100 catties of cast copper, in the past, it was reported according to the loss of 12 catties, in fact, 9 catties is enough. Lose three catties of consumption, save more than 80,000 catties of copper every year, and mint more than 9,200 strings of money. 2. The wages of the craftsmen are also too much, which can be subtracted from more than 11,700 strings. 3. Material consumption should be reduced by more than 11,800 strings. There are detailed accounts in the minister's fold, please ask the emperor to read it! ”

Colquin took over the conversation and said, "Your Majesty, although the minister participated in the casting, the ministers did not know the accounts calculated by Chen Tingjing. ”

The emperor rebuked Chen Tingjing: "You supervise the money law of the household department, and Colkun is the servant of the household department, so you should work together." You don't have ventilation in the accounts, why is that? ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Your Majesty, Kolkin has been the supervisor of the Baoquan Bureau for many years, and all the details of the coinage should be clear, so I don't need to count it for him." ”

Colcoin said: "The emperor often taught his ministers to be sympathetic to the people, and the Baoquan bureau servants are also the people. Chen Tingjing's calculations about the wages of the craftsmen in service are really against the heart of the Holy Dynasty and the love for the people. Besides, there are thousands of servants in the Baoquan Bureau, and once there is trouble because of the reduction of money, it will be a big trouble. ”

After Colcoin finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Da and motioned for him to speak. Xu Da ignored it and was silent. The emperor thought about it and said, "Colkun is also reasonable, more than 11,000 strings of wages, which is more than 11,000 taels of silver." I can't make the craftsmen unstable because of this little money. ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Your Majesty, the salary is too outrageous. The Baoquan Bureau is only six or seven miles away from the household, and the money minted by 100 catties of copper is released, and the foot of the car costs 50 yuan, isn't it too expensive? It should be cut in half! ”

Colcoin said: "Your Majesty, I'm really worried that the reduction of labor and wages will provoke a civil uprising!" ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the wages of the servants have already been reduced!" ”

The emperor asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Chen Tingjing replied: "For every 100 catties of copper, the approved salary is 180 wen, but in fact, the coppersmith only gets 60 wen. ”

The emperor asked again: "Where did the money go?" ”

Chen Tingjing said: "The minister has visited and found that his salary has been deducted by the stove. ”

The emperor was furious: "Presumptuous! Such hearths are abominable! Why not get him sooner? ”

Chen Tingjing calmly played: "The situation is complicated, Rong Chen plays one by one!" There is also a copy here, Xu Da, the superintendent of the Baoquan Bureau, who has a deficit of 586,234 pounds of copper! ”

Xu Da was shocked and looked at Chen Tingjing in fear. There was an immediate buzz in the hall, and some of the ministers nodded and some shook their heads. The emperor coughed lightly, and the hall immediately fell silent.

Xu Da stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Tingjing's participation is not true!" Chen Tingjing did take stock of the copper warehouse, but neither the accountant nor Colquin nor the others were involved, and they did not know about the shortfall. ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Xu Da really doesn't know if the warehouse is empty!" ”

Xu Dadao: "Your Majesty, it has only been half a year since the minister was appointed as the supervisor of the Baoquan Bureau, how could he lose so much copper material?" The minister did not know whether there was a deficit, and the minister took over from Colquin, and only handed over the account books, and the warehouse did not take inventory. ”

Colcoin immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Da is lying!" The account books and inventory of the minister and him have been handed over clearly, and the accounts are consistent with the facts, and there is no deficit. Here's the ledger! ”

Chen Tingjing and Xu Da were both surprised, and looked at Colkun and handed over the account book to Zhang Shande. The emperor took the account book and said, "One said that there was no inventory, and the other said that there was an inventory of the account book as evidence." Who should I believe? ”

Xu Da cried and said: "Your Majesty, Colkun deceived the king!" ”

Colquin was calm and composed: "Your Majesty, the minister has great courage, and he doesn't dare to make a fake account!" It had Xu Da's own autograph on it. ”

Xu Da kowtowed again and again and shouted injustice: "That's fake!" I didn't sign it! I only signed the ledger when it was handed over, and I didn't sign it on the warehouse inventory book! ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been to the Baoquan Bureau to supervise the money law for a few months, and I have never heard that Colkun and Xu Da have taken inventory of the warehouse. ”

Samuha finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't care whether Chen Tingjing's performance is true or not, he just thinks that he supervises the money law, just to mint money, not to go to the warehouse." This move is intended to rectify the person, which is unkind. Since it is unkind, it is difficult to say the merits. ”

Gao Shiqi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that every time the Baoquan Bureau mints new money, it has to send sample money to some officials. I don't know who Chen Tingjing gave the sample money to? ”

It turned out that Chen Tingjing went to the Baoquan Bureau to supervise the money law, but Gao Shiqi never received any more money, and secretly hated it. Mingzhu heard Gao Shiqi's words and knew that it was not good.

Sure enough, the emperor asked, "What kind of money to give?" Is there any article about money? ”

Chen Tingjing played: "The sample money that Gao Shiqi talked about is different from the sample money that the emperor knows. Before the minister arrived at the Baoquan Bureau, he had never heard of any mention of sending sample money. Your Majesty, can the minister ask Gao Shiqi if he has received any sample money? ”

Gao Shiqi suddenly panicked and said, "The minister has never received sample money!" ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Since you have never received sample money, how can you know about sample money!" ”

The emperor said angrily: "You are really presumptuous! Why don't you just tell me what the money is like when you quarrel in front of me? ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Your Majesty, in the past, every time the Baoquan Bureau minted new money, it had to send sample money to the homes of some princes and ministers, and nearly 20,000 taels of silver were sent every year, which was discounted. The minister thought that this was a bad habit, and he had been eliminated by the Baoquan Bureau! ”

The emperor was extremely angry, but he sneered and said, "Hmph, okay! The sample money I saw was carved from ivory, a picture cake that I couldn't eat, and the sample money you collected was a loud copper coin! The Baoquan Bureau is to mint money for the imperial court, not your own steamed dumplings, you can give it to whoever you want to taste! ”

After hearing the emperor's scolding, Colquin said carefully: "Start the emperor, the minister has something to hear." ”

The emperor glanced at him and did not say anything. Colquin pondered the emperor's thoughts, as if he could let him continue, so he said: "Chen Tingtong, the new prefect of Xuzhou, borrowed 10,000 taels of silver from the capital Quanyi Li Qian Village, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, it should be a bribe, and his crime should be punished!" ”

Although Chen Tingjing already knew the bottom of his heart, he was still scared when he heard it. Xu Qianxue stood up and spoke: "Your Majesty, Quanyi is a money village, regardless of the official gentry and people, you can go there to borrow money." Chen Tingtong asked Qian Zhuang to borrow money, which is different from blackmailing large households. Please Emperor Mingjian! ”

The emperor said: "You didn't say a word when you talked about so many things just now. When it comes to Chen Tingtong, you are open. Xu Qianxue, do you intend to protect Chen Tingtong? ”

Xu Qianxue said: "The minister does not dare to bend the law and be partial. Just now we discussed various things, and Rong Chen will say a few words at this time. ”

The emperor raised his hand and said, "No, I don't want to hear you at this time." Mingzhu, why don't you say a word? ”

Mingzhu said: "The minister is panicking! ”

The emperor asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

Mingzhu bowed his head and said: "Although the minister has never been the overseer of the money franc, he supervises the transfer of ownership and the second money law of the work. Once the Baoquan Bureau has something wrong, it is inevitable that the ministers will be guilty. ”

The emperor nodded and said: "Mingzhu has always been lenient with others and strict with himself, and he is really a model for his ministers. The things that Chen Tingjing and others did just now involved a lot of people, and there had to be someone who was fair to take care of them. Mingzhu, I am asking you to convene Jiuqing Zhan Shikedao, discuss together, and dispose of it properly! ”

Mingzhu shouted "chirp" and respectfully accepted the order.

The emperor said coldly: "Xu Da doesn't have to go back to Baoquan Bureau, Chen Tingtong doesn't have to go to Xuzhou, and Kolkin doesn't expect him to be so bold to make fake accounts!" ”

The emperor said lightly, but Chen Tingjing listened to it like thunder. Xu Da's face was already pale and stunned. Colcoin was surprised and delighted, and only hoped that the Bodhisattva would bless him with luck.

There is a war of words on the side of Qianqingmen, but there is trouble on the side of the money factory of the Baoquan Bureau. Early in the morning, the craftsman got up early to make a stove, and Liu Yuan came over and shouted: "You are not allowed to make a stove today." ”

The craftsman asked, "Why?" ”

Liu Yuan said: "Let's stop minting money!" ”

The servant asked again, "Okay, why don't you mint money?" ”

Liu Yuan was impatient and said, "Why are you asking so much?" Xiang Ye said that if he didn't cast, he wouldn't cast. Listen to yours or listen to Xiang Ye? ”

When the craftsmen heard that it was Xiang Zhong's message, no one dared to build a furnace.

Su Ruzhai didn't know that the knife was on his neck, and his Quanyi Liji was in full swing to mint money. Su Ruzhai picked up the freshly minted copper coin and said, "Go, take the money from the Baoquan Bureau and take a look." ”

The man ran into the house and came out with a string of official coins. Su Ruzhai repeatedly looked at it for a long time, and said with a smile: "Which of you can recognize which is the money of the Baoquan Bureau and which is the money of Quanyili?" ”

The guy said, "I can't tell the difference, I can't tell the difference!" ”

At this time, a guy hurriedly ran over and said in a panic: "Boss, there are many officers and soldiers here!" ”

Before Su Ruzhai could ask what was going on, he saw more than 100 officers and soldiers rushing in. It turned out that it was Liu Jing who brought the people, and I saw him shouting: "Don't move!" Confiscate all these fake money, bronze utensils, and copper blocks! ”

Su Ruzhai was stunned for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "There are people in my court!" You are not allowed to touch my things! ”

Liu Jing sneered: "Hmph, there are people in the court? Whoever is behind your backstage is finished! ”

Su Ruzhai shouted: "Chen Tingjing and Chen Tingtong are my friends!" ”

Liu Jing shouted: "It is Lord Chen Tingjing who sent someone to arrest you today!" Tie this man up! ”

Several officers and soldiers immediately pressed down Su Ruzhai and tied him like a zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Ma Ming and the officials of the Baoquan Bureau came to the money factory, and when they saw that the craftsmen were resting, they asked, "What's the matter?" ”

One of the craftsmen said, "We're quitting." ”

Ma Ming asked again: "Why don't you do it?" ”

The craftsman said: "Kung Fu is in charge, whether we do it or not is our own business!" ”

Xiang Zhong was lying on the kang, squinting and smoking a hookah. Someone was shouting outside, but he didn't hear it. Liu Yuan hurriedly ran in to report: "Master Xiang, someone came back from outside and said that Quanyi Liji was copied by the yamen, and Su Ruzhai and his guys were arrested!" ”

Xiang Zhong sat in in surprise and asked, "Huh? Do you know which yamen it is? ”

Liu Yuandao: "I heard that the leader is Chen Tingjing's person. ”

Xiang Zhong dropped the hookah and scolded: "Grandma's Chen Tingjing! ”

Liu Yuan said: "Xiang Ye, with the yamen, we can't be hard-hitting!" ”

Xiang Zhong stood up, slapped the table and chair and said, "Chen Tingjing dares to arrest more than 1,000 of our servants?" We don't believe there is such a big cell for us! Lao Tzu just wants to play hard with him! ”

After dispersing the court, Mingzhu immediately convened a meeting of Jiuqing Zhan Shi Kedao in the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials. Samuha and Korkun arrived first, and went straight to the second hall. Colkun said: "Ming Xiangguo, I am pondering, the Baoquan Bureau copper material deficit case, our emperor does not want to do it according to Chen Tingjing's wishes. ”

Mingzhu nodded, shook his head again, no one could figure out his thoughts.

Seeing Mingzhu like this, Samuha was secretly anxious in his heart, and said: "Ming Xiangguo, Chen Tingjing wants to use the copper material deficit case to destroy the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty!" ”

Mingzhu said: "We just have to follow the emperor's wishes, don't worry!" ”

Colquin was unhappy when he saw that Mingzhu was always talking with a layer apart, but he had no choice but to take Chen Tingjing out of anger: "He Chen Tingjing always pretends to be a saint!" ”

Mingzhu said: "Chen Tingjing has his ability, you have to admire!" The money law really straightened him out. New money is minted, and there are no profiteers who ruin money. Alright, you two go to the main hall and wait. Ladies and gentlemen, we will be here soon. ”

Samuha and Korkun came out of the second hall, and it happened that Chen Tingjing and Xu Qianxue also arrived. People in the officialdom secretly want to stab a knife, and they still have to get by in terms of face. Samuha bowed his hand to Chen Ting and said, "Lord Chen will settle accounts and manage money well, and you will still be the master of my household." ”

Although Samuha's words were flattering, Chen Tingjing heard the overtones, gently pushed back, and said with a smile: "We are all on errands for the imperial court, where Lord Samuha asks him to be an official, he will be an official!" ”

Samuha laughed when he heard this. Everyone arrived, and each of them found a seat and sat down. At this time, Mingzhu came out of it with a smile, and everyone stood up busily, saying that Ming Xiangguo was good. Mingzhu sat down first, and then beckoned: "Sit, sit, let's sit." ”

Everyone sat down, looked at Mingzhu, and waited for him to speak. Mingzhu said: "The emperor and I will review the warehouse deficit of the Baoquan Bureau with the guilds, and I hope you will be open and honest and express your opinions." Mr. Chen is shrewd and everyone can see it. The money method that the courtiers and workers couldn't handle well, as soon as Lord Chen took over, he immediately improved. ”

Samuha answered: "Ming Xiangguo, in this way, all of us here are rice buckets, and only Lord Chen stands up to the sky?" ”

Mingzhu smiled: "I'm just talking about things." Master Chen has his own set of skills in governing the money law, and we have all seen it. ”

The more Mingzhu spoke to Chen Tingjing, the more others were jealous of Chen Tingjing. Samuha said again: "I heard that Lord Chen asked the emperor to make up for the lack of copper materials in the Baoquan Bureau, and asked our successive Langzhong overseers to make up for it. ”

There was an uproar for a while, and they all shook their heads at Chen Tingjing. Colkun said: "Dare to ask Lord Chen, those of us who have served as supervisors in Langzhong, have long and short tenures, I don't know whether we should share the deficit equally, or according to the length of the term?" ”

Chen Tingjing said: "If anyone can take out the warehouse to hand over the account books and confirm that there is no shortfall, they can not pay a single or two coppers." ”

Samuha said: "Lord Korkun has a warehouse to hand over the account books, which shows that none of our governors have lost copper, and they are all lost in the hands of Xu Da. ”

Chen Tingjing said: "Lord Samuha, you have to believe in a truth, it is impossible for white to become black. ”

Colcoin said: "What do you mean by Lord Chen, did I make a false account? The emperor didn't think I had such courage, but Lord Chen really lifted me. ”

Samuha said: "We believe in Lord Chen, and the successive supervisors of Langzhong are all corrupt officials; believed in the University of Science and Technology, only Xu Da was a corrupt official. ”

Mingzhu said: "You can't say that, we believe the facts!" ”

Many of you here have worked as errands in the Baoquan Bureau, and it is inconvenient to say anything directly. The scene froze for a moment, and Gao Shiqi said: "Counting from the hands of Lord Shunzhi, for more than 40 years, the Baoquan Bureau has experienced so many Langzhong overseers, if you have to chase it to the end, I realize that this should not be the emperor's intention." ”

Xu Qianxue said: "The emperor is generous and benevolent, but what the Baoquan Bureau has lost is the silver of the imperial court, and this hole should not be ignored." Lord Chen's idea is to make up for the shortfall, and as for how to fill it, we can still think of a way. ”

Mingzhu asked, "What is Lord Xu's opinion?" ”

Xu Qianxue said: "I have roughly calculated that the copper material in the Baoquan Bureau is about 61,000 taels of silver. ”

Before Xu Qianxue finished speaking, Colkun interrupted him and said, "I have also settled the account, if we want our successive Langzhong overseers to pay compensation, each of them will have to pay more than 4,500 taels of silver." ”

Samuha immediately shouted: "I have been an official for decades, and I can't afford to lose so much silver. ”

Mingzhu said: "The truth is not whether you can afford it, but whether you should pay it." If you should pay for it, you have to pay if you can't afford it, and you have to pay for your head. ”

Colkun said: "I believe that the successive superintendents of Langzhong are honest and law-abiding, and they can't take out the money to make up for it." What should I do if I can't afford to lose? Kill them all? ”

Gao Shiqi said: "The officials of the dynasty are not high. Chen Tingtong was sent abroad to be the prefect, didn't he have to borrow a plate? ”

Chen Tingjing heard Gao Shiqi say this, and said: "Lord Mingzhu, let's discuss the Baoquan Bureau deficit case first. When it comes to the Imperial Rule, I have to avoid it. ”

Mingzhu nodded and said, "Lord Chen is right, let's discuss it one by one." Let's first negotiate the copper shortage. ”

Xiang Zhong stood on a chair and shouted, "Brothers, Chen Tingjing wants to reduce our wages. We earn money by our own blood and sweat, so why should he reduce us? ”

The craftsmen were furious and shouted, "We can't reduce our wages!" We're going to eat! We want to live! ”

Ma Ming shouted: "Masters, you listen to me, you listen to me!" ”

The scene was very chaotic, and no one listened to Ma Ming. Xiang Zhong shouted again: "Brothers, who built these stoves? ”

The craftsmen cried out, "We have built it!" ”

Xiang Zhong said: "We built it ourselves, we can do whatever we want, right?" ”

The craftsmen shouted, "We listen to the master!" ”

Ma Ming shouted loudly: "Masters, it is Xiang Zhong who is bullying you!" ”

Xiang Zhong laughed and said, "I'm going to exploit them? You ask, who said I had taken them away? ”

A servant craftsman said: "We are all looking for Xiang Ye to do things, without Xiang Ye, we have nothing to eat!" We don't listen to you, we believe in Xiang Ye! ”

Liu Yuan carried a sledgehammer and said, "Our own things, smash it today!" ”

Liu Yuan said, picked up the hammer and threw it at the stove. The craftsmen swarmed in search of the line, hammers, shovels, iron rods, looking for what was nothing, crackling and smashing at the coinsmith's furnace.

Ma Ming was so anxious that he couldn't do anything, and shouted repeatedly: "Masters, you have been fooled!" Don't be fooled! ”

Liu Yuan shouted fiercely at Ma Ming: "You still have to shout, we will even smash your head together!" ”

The craftsmen heard Liu Yuan's shout, and another swarm of flocks rushed towards Ma Ming and them. Ma Ming took out his knife, looked at everyone horizontally, and said, "Masters, don't come here!" ”

Liu Yuan sneered: "What about coming here?" Do you dare to kill us? ”

Ma Ming shouted: "Whoever takes the lead in the rebellion will be dealt with by his own national law!" ”

Xiang Zhong was lying inside again at this time, smoking a hookah, and went to fight and kill from the outside. The Baoquan official whispered to Ma Ming: "Master Ma, there are too many of them, we can't fight hard!" ”

Ma Ming and the Baoquan officials had to retreat and stand far away outside the money factory. The money factory has long been smashed to shreds. Liu Yuan led the people to the door and shouted, "There is a kind, you come in!" Smash your dog's head! ”

Ma Ming was anxious and hateful, and said, "How can I explain this to the master!" I'm so incompetent! ”

The little official said: "Master Ma, you don't have to blame yourself, no one will be responsible for this situation." ”

Ma Ming said: "Hurry up and send someone to deliver the letter!" ”

The little official said, "Where can I find someone else?" I'll forget it. ”

The little official of Baoquan Pegasus entered the city, and after looking for a long time, he learned that Chen Tingjing had gone to the yamen of the ministry. The little official rushed to the yamen of the ministry again, and whispered a few times with the head of the office. The officials of the ministry were shocked, and hurriedly ran into the second hall, ignoring the rules, and hurriedly shouted: "Ming Xiangguo, there is a person from the Baoquan Bureau outside, and there is something important to report." ”

Mingzhu asked, "What's the big deal?" Tell him to come in and say it in front of all the adults. ”

The little official of Baoquan was led in and said, "Ming Xiangguo, my lords, something is wrong!" When the money mill workers heard that they were going to reduce their wages, they rebelled and smashed the money factory to the ground. ”

Samuha immediately glanced at Chen Tingjing sideways, and said to Mingzhu: "Ming Xiangguo, as expected, the craftsmen are reversed, right?" This is all a good thing that Chen Tingjing has done! ”

Chen Tingjing was very strange and asked, "How do the craftsmen know about the reduction of wages?" ”

Samuha said: "There is no impermeable wall! ”

Chen Tingjing said: "I want to know which wall is the wind! ”

Colcoin said in a weird manner: "The reduction of wages is for Lord Chen, you asked the emperor, you should know who is the wind." ”

Chen Tingjing knew that it was futile to quarrel here, so he said: "Ming Xiangguo, ladies and gentlemen, the emperor said that I can play the matter of money law first. ”

Mingzhu nodded and said, "The emperor did have this message. ”

Chen Tingjing arched his hand and said, "Then I will go first and last today." ”

Mingzhu asked, "Lord Chen, what do you want to do?" ”

Chen Tingjing said: "I want to go to the money factory immediately and ask the people of the University of Science and Technology to go with me." ”

Mingzhu said: "That's right, okay." Master of Science and Technology, you can go to the Baoquan Bureau with Master Chen. ”

Colcoin didn't want to go, but he couldn't refuse. Chen Tingjing said: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's discuss first, and I will accompany you less." ”

Chen Tingjing and Colkun each rode their horses and galloped towards the money factory. Liu Jing had already locked up Su Ruzhai and the others, and at this time, he also followed Chen Tingjing to the money factory with the officials.

When Chen Tingjing rushed to the money factory, Xiang Zhongzheng shouted to the craftsmen there: "Brothers, we are all people in the same boat, everyone has a share in the money factory, and no one is allowed to be a turtle with a shrunken head!" As long as the brothers work together, Chen Tingjing can't do anything to us! Are you going to kill us all? Emperor Lao Tzu didn't have the guts! Are you going to arrest us all? It's not such a big cell! ”

Xiang Zhongzheng said, and when he saw Chen Tingjing leading people in, he gritted his teeth viciously and shouted, "Brothers, guys!" ”

The hammers and sticks in the hands of the servants were clenched tightly, and they all stared and stretched out their necks like fighting cocks.

Chen Ting looked at the craftsmen, turned around and said coldly, "Tie up Colquin!" ”

As soon as Chen Tingjing's words came out, everyone was frightened. Colquin was stunned for a long time, and suddenly shouted: "Chen Tingjing, I am a second-rank official of the imperial court, you are really bold!" ”

Chen Tingjing shouted again: "Are you still standing? Tied up! ”

Liu Jing and Ma Ming immediately stepped forward, knocked down Colquin, and tied him up. Chen Tingjing knew in his heart that no matter whether Colquin himself had a deficit in copper during his three-year tenure, but he was a Qian franc who had just stepped down, and he could not escape the responsibility, so it was better to simply arrest him, and the situation in front of him was in front of him. When the servants saw such a big official, they really panicked and didn't know what to do. Xiang Zhong was also stunned and remained silent.

Chen Tingjing said: "Masters, you have been fooled! Corrupt officials like Colcoin colluded with the stove head Xiang Zhong and exploited you for many years! ”

Xiang Zhong shouted: "Brothers, Chen Tingjing is talking nonsense! Without me Xiangzhong, you wouldn't have a place to eat! ”

After all, seeing that Chen Tingjing had tied up Colquin, the craftsmen didn't dare to come nonsense. Xiang Zhong was not afraid of death, and suddenly swung his stick and slashed at Chen Tingjing. The stick in Xiang Zhong's hand was raised into the air, and he fell to the ground somehow. It turned out that Zhen'er flew over and picked Xiang Zhong's arm with a sword. Several officials rushed forward and tied up Xiang Zhong.

At this time, Uncle Wu came out of the crowd. In the past few days, Ma Ming has searched all over Beijing, but he has not found Uncle Wu, but he has asked Zhen'er to find it. Uncle Wu shouted to the craftsmen: "Masters, Xiang Zhong has been drinking our blood, and we are all in the dark and don't know!" Lord Chen sent someone to find me for questioning, and I learned that the wages issued to us by the Baoquan Bureau told Xiang Zhong to eat most of them! Xiang Zhong is afraid that I will tell the things in the money factory, and ask Liu Yuan to kill me! I'm glad I was able to hide quickly, otherwise I wouldn't have this old bone! ”

Xiang Zhong lay on the ground, still shouting: "Old man Wu, you are looking for death!" ”

A servant asked, "Lord Chen, why are you reducing our hard-earned money?" ”

Chen Tingjing asked him rhetorically: "Who told you that you want to reduce your wages?" ”

The servant said, "Xiang Ye! ”

Chen Tingjing said: "It is you who are the one who reduces your wages!" He secretly colluded with corrupt officials like Colcoin to withhold your wages! ”

Uncle Wu said: "Listen to me, masters. Lord Chen not only does not reduce everyone's money, but also adds money! What Lord Chen wants to reduce is only the money that was exploited by Xiang Zhong. The coppersmith's salary has been increased from 60 to 120 wen, and the sample money craftsman's salary has been increased from 80 wen to 180 wen, anyway, everyone has added it! ”

The servant who had just questioned him asked, "How much do we add to the mill?" ”

Chen Tingjing said: "The washing mill is very important, add it to two hundred and sixty wen. ”

The miller shouted loudly: "Brothers, we are really fooled, we listen to Lord Chen!" ”

Only then did the craftsmen throw away the guys in their hands and scolded Xiang Zhong for being really a son of a bitch.

Chen Tingjing said with a straight face: "I still have to say a few words." The masters listened to the instigation of the wicked and smashed the money factory, and according to the law, they were punished for their crimes. Remember that you have been deceived, and your sins will be forgiven. But you have to fix the money factory as it is, and you will not receive any wages! ”

The servants were silent for a moment, buzzing, willing and reluctant.

Uncle Wu said: "Masters, Master Chen is right, we have to listen to Lord Chen." ”

The miller promised, "All right, let's fix the money factory!" ”
