Hearing that it was a gift for himself, the emperor immediately understood what Cheng Daqi meant, and carefully looked at the complaint written by the bitter master and the specific situation of the defendant, focusing on the defendant's approximate family assets.

Cheng Daqi also added on the side, "This Governor Qiu has always been a Beijing official who has been released, and the people call him Qiu Papi, which is a mosquito that can squeeze out two taels of oil, as long as he goes, the local officials and squires and merchants must prepare a high-standard welcome, good wine and good food are the basics, and there must be rare antiques, gold and silver, stock capital, calligraphy and paintings, etc." ”

"Not only himself, but also his wife and children were accustomed to extravagance, and every time he went to a local jewelry shop or cloth shop, he had to send the best jewelry and cloth from the shop to be selected, and he never paid any money, and even the slaves below were very arrogant."

"Because of the amount of money I make, I am willing to play a little bit with the people above, and the position of the governor has been very stable in recent years, and it is said that he doesn't want to have the opportunity to stay in Beijing, so he likes to go out."

"The house of the governor of Qiu in the capital will be renovated every year, and there are several warehouses alone, which are specially used to store silver and treasures, and this Lord Cao is not far behind, he spent 300,000 taels for the Pomeranian to smile, and created a gorgeous dress woven with gold silk and inlaid with all kinds of treasures for the beauty, and even the shoes under the feet of the beauty are inlaid with many treasures, and eating a dish is also full of tricks, a sheep eats two taels of meat on the face, a bird eats the small bird's tongue, and even eats fish only eats a small piece of the nail on the cheek."

These two people are the fat sheep selected by the Cheng family brothers, the official position is not too high, and there are enough greed, they expect that the emperor will be satisfied, mainly because they are too greedy, they also gasped three times when they learned the news, even if they are as rich as they can't imagine the extravagance of the two.

The emperor's face was pale, he didn't dare to be so extravagant as a king of a country, and the two fourth-grade officials were so vicious?

Cheng Daqi was not afraid of the emperor's anger, and preached two sentences about the effect of the emperor after leaving the palace before, "The merchants are full of gratitude when they learn that the emperor is worried, although they envy the merchants of Dongshu, but they also believe that the emperor will surpass those merchants of Dongshu sooner or later, and they have this confidence." ”

"But, Your Majesty, there are too many roadblocks in front of us."

Speaking of inheriting the difficulties encountered by the merchants, after such a half-month combing and summarizing, rummaging through various government decrees, the remaining problems were put in front of the emperor.

The emperor understands what Cheng Daqi means, and after taking a sip of tea into his throat, his heart is much smoother, he can use these two people to open the way, rectify the unhealthy trend of Xijin shopping mall, rectify the collusion between officials and businessmen, and clear the way for the development of the next merchants.

But. This is not enough.

Cheng Daqi said again at this time, "Don't hide it from the emperor, Weichen's father-in-law used to be mountain bandits, according to him, the real mountain bandits are only a small part, and they are easy to be recruited, but some are raised by the official family, specially for the official master to create political achievements, these mountain bandits have money and food, and they are a disaster. ”

The emperor glanced at Cheng Daqi deeply, with approval in his eyes, "Your father-in-law is in the capital?" ”

"No, but Weichen's wife has already sent news to the family, and I believe it will come soon."

The emperor smiled, "When your father-in-law comes and takes him into the palace, I have an errand for him." ”

Thinking that there was so much silver and money waiting to be earned by himself, the emperor was relieved, "Let the merchant you arrange go to the yamen to complain, and I will arrange someone to deal with the rest of the matter." ”

"Someone, go and inform General Maverick to come."

Copying professional households is going to play, is there anything else to say?

The emperor couldn't wait to make a move, and his satisfaction with Cheng Daqi reached its peak.

Cheng Daqi, who came out of the palace, looked like nothing had happened, and was about to go back to the house when he got out of the palace and got in the car, and as soon as the carriage drove into the street, a person blocked the way, and the person who came was none other than You Qinglian.

Zhang Yuewu hadn't seen Cheng Daqi's family for a long time, and the people she sent out couldn't get into Cheng Daqi's body at all, and they couldn't pass on the news, and You Qinglian went to Bofu several times in a row and didn't see Cheng Daqi's people, so she had to go to the street to block it.

"Cousin, please go see my aunt?"

Cheng Daqi was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't seen his cousin for a long time.

"What's wrong with your aunt?"

"Yes, cousin, what's wrong with my cousin?"

You Qinglian turned around, Cheng Yousan and Cheng Xiaosi stood side by side, Cheng Yousan had already arranged for the Marquis of Wenchang to be watched around, and it was You Qinglian who was guarded, after all, she went to the Hou Mansion several times in a row and didn't make progress, who knows if she will arrest people halfway?

Cheng Xiaosi made a worried look, "My cousin was fine two days ago, and my mother went to the Wenchang Marquis Mansion in person, is she seriously ill?" ”

"Do you have a doctor?"

Raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Daqi, "Dad, the second uncle and a few uncles are waiting for you in the house, saying that there is something important to discuss, my cousin and my third brother will go to see it, and if something really happens, let my mother go too." ”

Without waiting for You Qinglian to refuse, he stepped forward and pulled her aside, "Cousin, don't worry, my father can promise to my cousin, I can agree." ”

You Qinglian shook his head, saying that he wanted Cheng Daqi to go in person, "Cousin, my mother is strangely sick, lying on the bed and talking about wanting to see you." ”

She didn't dare to say that her mother has become more and more irritable recently, she has always been very elegant and calm, and now she is beating and scolding their sisters, and Xiao Huan was also hurt by her hand by throwing a teacup.

Cheng Daqi was really not at ease, and directly asked the coachman to go to the Wenchang Marquis Mansion, Cheng Xiaosi turned his head and muttered two sentences in Cheng Yousan's ear, and Cheng Yousan used the excuse to go back to the house in advance.

When she arrived at the Hou Mansion, You Jinling stared at Cheng Xiaosi with an unkind face, gritting her teeth, "Cheng Xiaosi, what do you mean?" ”

Cheng Xiaosi glanced at her, "This should be asked to you, why did my cousin who is so good run to the street to stop my father, and he has to bring people to you, could it be that you have mistreated my cousin?" ”

Although the two did not deal with each other, they reached an agreement on the matter of Zhang Yuewu's mother and daughter, one excuse was too busy to come to condole, and the other thought prevented her from going out, and under Cheng Xiaosi's fanning of Zhang Yuewu's mother and daughter, the life of Zhang Yuewu's mother and daughter was not easy, and now that Cheng Xiaosi said this, You Jinling glared at You Qinglian viciously.

Cheng Xiaosi didn't care about her, and hurriedly caught up with her father, acting more nervous than her father, and walked in front of her father.

There was a girl in the courtyard to report, and soon the group was introduced into the inner courtyard, Cheng Xiaosi squeezed out Cheng Daqi and was the first to enter the door, and a figure of Leng Buding threw himself into her arms, trembling lightly, "Cousin." ”
