Chapter 104: Secret Consultation

Chen Cao was a little amused when he saw her embarrassment, so he shook his head and said, "You must know the matter better than me, Mu Qilin should be preparing to go to Beijing to confess now." ”

Having said that, Shen Zhuangling pretended not to understand that it would really offend Chen Cao, so she smiled awkwardly: "Uncle's news really came quickly." ”

Chen Cao patted the dust on his knees: "The Mu family is all a bad breed, this sentence is true." ”

Saying this kind of thing in front of Shen Zhuangling, Chen Cao was not afraid at all, but a smart person like Shen Zhuangling could understand this kind of thing the most: "I don't know who dares to spread bad words about the hereditary state mansion everywhere." ”

"Emperor Shenzong himself said it." Chen Cao stared at Shen Zhuangling, thinking for a long time, and Chen Cao said: "Although I have stipulated that a woman must marry at fifteen, Shen Lingmin is only fifteen years old this year. ”

Shen Zhuangling trembled, and then collapsed, Chen Cao shook his head when he saw this: "It's not a way for your Shen family to blindly cling to the Qianguo Mansion, if the Mu family doesn't choose the right side of the team selection this time, it is a big crime to cut the lord, and your Shen family is a chess piece thrown outside." ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Cao stopped talking, closed his eyes and recuperated, and after a long time, Shen Zhuangling looked at Chen Cao with tears in her eyes: "Uncle, the slave family has been married..."

"Ben Bo knows." Chen Cao closed his eyes and replied: "You are just a concubine, after they split up and died, they are not supported by one person?" ”

"Uncle, that..."

Only then did Chen Cao open his eyes: "Shen Lingmin Benbo came to rescue, I heard that her wedding date is April this year, but you have to promise Benbo a condition." ”

"As long as the slave family can do it." Shen Zhuangling leaned over.

"After Shen Lingmin came to Nanjing, you, Shen Zhuangling, are the people of my Dingwu Uncle's Mansion."

Shen Zhuangling raised her head suddenly, and said for a long time: "Uncle, if they don't speak, the slave family can't leave......"

Chen Cao smiled evilly: "You don't have to worry about this," Chen Cao became serious as he said that, leaned over and hooked Shen Zhuangling's jaw with his hand, and said in a dark voice: "You know what you did when you grabbed the fetal pill twice, if there is a third time, don't blame Ben Bo for turning his face with you..."

"Uncle... Slave family..."

Chen Cao left Shen Ji and Zhao Xin to go to the Qianguo Gongliu Mansion.

Mu Qilin was in a bad mood, because even if he was not the principal of the Mu family, he did the matter of asking for sin.

Chen Cao's arrival was somewhat of a joke in Mu Qilin's eyes.

"Uncle Dingwu came to see the jokes of my government?" Mu Qilin asked people to serve tea, and then looked at Chen Cao with an uncomfortable face.

Chen Cao prefers Yunnan tea, especially Pu'er from Qianguo Mansion: "Pu'er tea is good, although the entrance is a little bitter, but the sweetness that comes in a flash is incomparable to green tea such as Longjing." ”

Chen Cao obviously had something to say, Mu Qilin had been immersed in Nanjing for many years, and he didn't know how much he had dealt with those old fritters in the officialdom, and he could understand these words: "Dingwubo, not everyone can drink Pu'er." ”

"Brother Mu's words are not right, you are a member of the Guogong Mansion, even if you are a concubine, then you are qualified to drink this Pu'er tea..."Chen Cao knocked on the lid of the tea, and then smiled: "Besides, there are many tea mountains in Yunnan, and Brother Mu is the eldest son of the concubine, if no one goes to farm, Brother Mu can also do it for him." ”

Mu Qilin's body moved slightly, and then his face did not change and said: "Ding Wubo is really embarrassed to speak, even if there are many tea mountains, they are also owned by the current people, and the next person is soft-spoken, but he does not have the strength to cultivate so many tea mountains." ”

"Definitely..."Chen Cao interrupted him, and then waved his hand and said: "If Brother Mu grows tea alone, it is naturally not possible, even if he can, he will have to die of exhaustion, if Brother Mu is tired, how can Ben Bo drink such good tea?" ”

Chen Cao said jokingly, and then chuckled: "Besides, which tea plantation owner didn't hire a tea picker, with Brother Mu's worth in Jinling, how can he have some surplus money to ask some helpers to pick tea and grow tea?" ”

"Uncle Dingwu," Mu Qilin interjected, "Emperor Shenzong personally ordered that no Jinyi guards should be stationed in Yunnan..."

"No," Chen Cao waved his hand again: "Emperor Shizong's words are called Zu Xun in the eyes of Emperor Shenzong, Emperor Shizong once ordered the whole country to have a visit, besides, Emperor Chengzu also gave this order, don't Brother Mu know?" ”

Mu Qilin didn't know what to do by Chen Cao, but now it seems that the other party is indeed prepared: "My brother is indeed a bit too much in Yunnan, but my father has also taught him a lesson, and I hope that Uncle Wu can help in this matter." ”

"Yu Ying, the inspector of the imperial history, has already reported the matter to the Beijing Division, and Ben Bo only learned about it when he passed through Nanjing, this matter can be big or small," Chen Cao changed his voice: "Mu Qiyuan has many lawlessness in Yunnan, and this time Ben Bo has concluded that the imperial court will definitely not be good." ”

Mu Qilin was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "Uncle Dingwu, the new tea has just been planted, how can the tea plantation owner dig them out and replant them?" ”

Chen Cao waved his hand again: "The new tea has insect disease, if you don't dig up the heavy seed, it will definitely affect other new tea, and when it comes to the tea harvest season, Ben Bo wants to save the particles from not harvesting, I'm afraid that in order to prevent the insect disease from continuing to harm, I have to set fire to the tea mountain." ”

"Ahh

Chen Cao hit the railway while it was hot: "Ben Bo drank this Pu'er today and felt that this tea was really delicious, and I hope that Brother Mu will not be stingy with this money, and find some help as soon as possible to go back and help grow tea, otherwise Ben Bo will not be able to drink new tea next year, but Ben Bo will be disappointed." ”

"Ding Wubo kindly reminded me today, I really don't know what to take in return, it is better for Ding Wubo to take the initiative to mention it, as long as it can be achieved, I can do my best." Mu Qilin stood up and arched his hand.

Chen Cao also stood up, arched his hand and smiled: "Hahaha, Brother Mu is really polite, it's not enough to mention trivial things, but Ben Bo thinks that we have a good relationship now, and I hope that Brother Mu will help him and let Shen Ji Grocery Store do more business with Ben Bo, after all, Ben Bo is now a big business, and he still needs a lot of daily necessities." ”

Mu Qilin was not surprised at all, he just hugged his fists again, but he didn't speak, Chen Cao turned around and left with a smile.

Out of the gate of the Qianguo Mansion, Zhao Xin finally couldn't help it, so he asked Chen Caodao: "Uncle, what kind of new tea you said to Mu Qilin is sick, and your subordinates who drink tea really don't understand, isn't Uncle the least fond of playing the right one?" ”

"This kind of thing is too big, although he is the person in charge of Liufu, but I dare to conclude that there must be people watching him in Liufu, do you think he dares to talk to me straight to the point?" Chen Cao smiled: "Mu Qiyuan has other lawlessness?" ”

"It's too much..."Zhao Xin hahaha: "That guy is the heir of the future Duke of Qianguo, in order to get his servants back, he actually dared to mobilize artillery aimed at Yu Ying's public office, this matter made the people of Yunnan panic, and those Tusi followed suit, so that the officials of the local Propaganda Department let go of the detained Tusi people, which greatly reduced the prestige of the imperial court in Yunnan." ”

Zhao Xin whispered in Chen Cao's ear as he spoke: "Uncle, don't you know, now there are local rumors in Yunnan that only know that the Qianguo Mansion does not know His Majesty today. ”

"This is a good thing..."Chen Cao nodded with a smile: "Otherwise, how could Mu Qilin become the Duke of Qianguo?" ”

"The subordinates that the uncle said also know, but it is reported that Mu Qiyuan's eldest son Mu Tianbo is very smart and well-behaved, and he is knowledgeable, even if Mu Qiyuan becomes a prince of the country, the court will definitely pass on the title to Mu Tianbo." Zhao Xin interjected.

'Mu Tianbo...' Chen Cao read silently, he watched a lot of TV series about this last prince in his time, even the records in the history books are quite pertinent.

"It seems that we need to give Mu Qilin some reassurance," Chen Cao sighed secretly, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Xin: "Summarize all the evidence of Mu Qiyuan's crime and the news of our investigation, and you will personally send it to Mu Qilin later, and then see how he reacts." ”

Zhao Xin's eyes rolled and nodded: "My subordinates understand." As he spoke, he thought of something and asked, "Uncle, what about the Qiantang inspection rate?" You really won't let him be a general in Hangzhou, right? ”

Chen Cao turned his head and said curiously: "Didn't I tell you to arrange it before I left?" It's good that Tang Shining's old guy can save his life, and if Huang Sihai hadn't agreed to my request this time, how could he have committed a big crime, otherwise do you think it's okay to be dismissed and go home? ”

"What about Lin Guodong?" Zhao Xin didn't finish his words.

"First of all, they have other things to do in the guards," Chen Cao looked at the flow of people in the distance: "Eggs can't be put in one basket, otherwise if they fall, what do you say we should take to lay eggs?" ”

"Uncle, the order to transfer Yuan Shizhong to Guangning has been issued, and this is a reply from the Ministry of War." Zhao Xin handed over the official document to Chen Cao.

Chen Cao took it and looked at it and nodded: "Everything must be done as soon as possible, it can't be delayed, and Zhao Xin, you have to do a big thing for me," Chen Cao said and looked around, and said in a low voice: "If this matter is found to be a major crime of killing the head, you must do your best, and don't let the second person know." ”

When Zhao Xin heard this, he immediately showed a serious expression: "My subordinates understand." ”

"Isn't there a lot of obsolete weapons in Xiaolingwei?" Chen Cao squinted his eyes and said.

When Zhao Xin saw Chen Cao's expression, he immediately understood, and nodded: "All the weapons eliminated by the guards of Nanzhili were handed over to the Nanjing Military Department, and this side was sent to Xiaolingwei as training weapons." ”

"Who is the current commander of the Xiaoling Guard?" Chen Cao asked again.

Zhao Xin thought for a while: "Liu Yucheng, the commander of Xiaolingwei who has just taken office, is the original general of Datong, I heard that he was corrupting military salaries over there, and was accused by the Fusi of Beizhen, he spent a lot of money to forgive his crimes, and then he was demoted and transferred to Xiaolingwei. ”

The corners of Chen Cao's mouth rose: "This kind of money-loving person is the best person to deal with, come with your ears." ”
