The guard replied: "I haven't received any news about the king of Xiang. ”

Tu Yachang had a complicated mood about Zhu Bai's disappearance.

Zhu Bai is not there, they are the overlords of the mountains without tigers and monkeys.

All the money earned by the official tooth bureau is spent by themselves, how cool it is.

But they themselves know that this will not last long.

Lao Zhu will definitely not indulge them.

And they know better than anyone that only Zhu Bai can be an umbrella for them to shelter from the wind and rain on their heads, and a tree to lean on by their side.

It's like setting up a private dental practice.

Once the government finds out the way, they will kick them away.

Who will be the tooth grower?

So they hoped that Zhu Bai would come back safely soon and everything would be on the right track as soon as possible.

------

When Zhu Biao heard the report that Li Jinglong and the others had returned, he was surprised and delighted: it was so fast. This combination is really efficient enough.

Zeng Bingzheng went directly to the imperial study to ask to see Lao Zhu. Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu were waiting outside.

Zeng Bingzheng presented the secret letter with both hands.

Lao Zhu looked at it and handed it to Zhu Biao with an expressionless face.

Zhu Biao looked at it, and it read: "Xu Huizu used the house he bought in Hangzhou to set up a private tooth shop." ”

He couldn't laugh or cry.

This kind of nonsense without evidence can only be believed by pedantic people like Zeng Bingzheng.

Besides, now all the dental shops in the country, except for Beiping, have halved their profits.

Even if Hangzhou is counted on Xu Huizu's head, what about the rest?

Xu Huizu may not be able to buy a house and run a dental shop in all the prefectures?

Moreover, Xu Huizu had already handed over all the houses purchased from other places that did not pay taxes and apply for house deeds as required.

Zhu Biao was also expressionless, put down the secret letter and asked, "Master Zeng, apart from this letter, do you have any other evidence?" ”

Zeng Bingzheng: "No. ”

Zhu Biao said again: "Well, the main hall knows, and the main hall will find out." Adults are also tired and go down to rest. ”

Zeng Bingzheng felt that Zhu Biao was shielding Xu Huizu.

It's just that Lao Zhu is on the side, and he can't say it directly, so he can only say: "Regardless of whether Lord Xu was wronged or not, Weichen suggested that this matter should not be involved in this matter again." ”

Zhu Biao said lightly: "The main hall will consider it." ”

Zeng Bingzheng could only go down.

Then Zhu Biao called Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu in and asked them separately.

Li Jinglong said a little contradictory, because he also realized his stupidity at this time, and he had to find a way to cover it up.

Xu Huizu's speech is much more organized.

After listening to this, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao each sighed secretly: Aren't these three people perfectly falling into the trap of others.

Relatively speaking, Xu Huizu is still smart and rational.

So those people have to find a way to get Xu Huizu out of the game, and they can no longer participate in the investigation.

Zeng Bingzheng The combined age of the three of them is more than ten times older than Zhu Bai, but they can't kill a person selected by Zhu Bai.

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao have a new understanding of Zhu Bai's ability.

At this time, Li Jinglong and Xu Huizu were waiting outside.

Lao Zhu asked Zhu Biao: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhu Biao: "Although there is no evidence, it has been confirmed that the prefect colluded with the official dental bureau to set up a private dental business. So it's the same to go elsewhere to check, and there's no need to waste manpower and material resources. ”

Lao Zhu nodded: "That's right." ”

Zhu Biao: "Now it's up to you to see what to do." ”

Lao Zhu asked: "Who is the current prefect of Hangzhou?" ”

Zhu Biao: "Yao Bin is the brother-in-law of Xuanning Cao Tai, he was originally the prefect of Huai'an, and he was transferred to the prefect of Hangzhou in the tenth year of Hongwu. ”

Lao Zhu: "Who transferred him to Hangzhou?" ”

Zhu Biao: "Deng Zhen." ”

Deng Zhen used to be Li Shanchang's person, and now he is Li Cunyi and Hu Weiyong's person.

It is equivalent to Zhu Bai's people who are now joining forces with Hu Weiyong and them.

Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao also realized one thing at the same time: if Zhu Bai never comes back. Zhu Bai's people will all become Hu Weiyong's people.

If this will lead to the official tooth bureau, the prefects can only be killed.

The court has changed too much.

Before killing Hu Weiyong, doing so is tantamount to asking for a dead end.

Even if they were killed, they couldn't think of a better way to replace the perfect system set up by Zhu Bai.

Lao Zhu pondered for a long time; "Don't move yet, get that rebel back first."

Zhu Biao nodded: "Yes, my father is wise." ”

Lao Zhu: "Although Li Jinglong is stupid, he is still loyal to us, so the official tooth bureau will take care of him first." ”

Now that there is no solution, we can only break the jar and find someone to stand on it first.

Anyway, as long as you don't fight a big battle. Now the profits handed over by the official tooth bureau plus the treasury inventory are enough for two or three years, no problem.

Take 10,000 steps back, don't you still have the silver in the treasury of Guanyinzhuang?

Those are all guarded by our pro-army captains, and no matter who comes, they can't take them away.

Zhu Biao replied: "Okay." Let him see how complicated the bureaucracy is. Erchen felt that he was too naïve and arrogant now. ”

Lao Zhu said: "No matter how good Xu Huizu is, he can't be reused, you know." ”

At least until Zhu Di is confirmed to be safe, no.

No matter what Xu Huizu thinks of Zhu Di, he is always Zhu Di's brother-in-law.

Since they want to beware of Zhu Di, they naturally have to beware of Xu Huizu.

It's not good, when Zhu Di is really reversed, Xu Huizu will help Zhu Di open the city gate.

Zhu Biao arched his hand: "Erchen knows." ”

Otherwise, with his friendship with Xu Huizu and Xu Huizu's ability, he would not have hung Xu Huizu for so many years for such a small thing as deed tax.

Zhu Biao asked Xu Huizu to go back, and then passed Li Jinglong in.

Xu Huizu already knew it in his heart, and left with disappointment and anger: Li Jinglong, a fool like him, if I hadn't pulled it, he might not have been able to come back at this time.

Why did Zhu Biao still use him and leave me instead?

Just because I am not related to the Zhu family?

But I and you Zhu Biao have played together from the boat to the big friends, and they have a better relationship with you than any of your brothers, and they have to be loyal to you.

How can you do that?!

In the imperial study, Li Jinglong stood below with his head bowed and his hands down.

Zhu Biao said: "You can keep the waist card of the General Bureau of Official Teeth first." From tomorrow. You'll be in charge of the Bureau. ”

Li Jinglong was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over his hand: "Thank you uncle and uncle for your trust." Jiujiang must do his best to manage the official tooth bureau. ”

Zhu Biao nodded slightly and asked, "How do you plan to deal with the decrease in profits handed over by the Guanya Bureau?" ”

Li Jinglong replied: "To solve it, it is simple. Jiujiang will definitely be able to recover the profits handed over by the Guanya Bureau next month. ”

Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu exchanged surprised looks: such a big breath. What did you come up with?

Zhu Biao: "You say come and listen." ”

Li Jinglong: "Didn't they pay less than before, and they want to partner with the government to deceive us?" Then we will compare the previous month with the most profit and ask them to pay. How they operate, such as compressing their own profits, or canceling the commission to the government office, or even handing over the profits of the private dental store, we don't care. Anyway, the silver handed over to the General Administration and the imperial court in the end must meet the standard. Those who do not meet the standards will directly withdraw the tooth growth and replace it. ”
