Chapter 90: Surrender or Embezzlement?

As soon as General Niu and Steward Niu left, the moment they closed the gate, Cheng jumped eight feet high.

"Hahaha, I'm going to Beicheng Terracotta Division, hahaha~~~"

"Little four, little four, come and give me a punch, why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"

"Cheng Xiaosi, where are you?"

Cheng Xiaosi, who was about to wash, learned that her third brother needed her fist, so he went without saying a word, and when the fist hit his shoulder, Cheng Yousan felt a little pain, and then they all laughed, "It hurts, it's refreshing, hahaha~"

Hooked Cheng Xiaosi's shoulder, "Cheng Xiaosi, be kind to your third brother in the future, and the security in the north of the city will be under my control in the future, and I will cover you in the future." ”

Cheng Xiaosi rolled his eyes silently, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise high, forget it, don't say anything to hit him, let him be proud for a while.

Cheng Youyi and Cheng Youqian also stepped forward to congratulate, with envy in their eyes, the good things that they couldn't think of before just fell like this, and they were somewhat unreal.

The people of the Xiao family are even more envious, after all, they used to be mountain bandits, and their starting point was relatively low, and they wanted to hide when they saw the official master, but now their cousin has also become a soldier with a knife, do you want to be kind to him in the future?

Cheng Xiaosi smiled and said, "Go back and invite your friends to dinner, you will be indispensable for their help in the future." ”

She was talking about those gangster friends, those people have helped them a few times recently, and they should be thanked, Cheng Yousan nodded, "This is a must, there are still a lot of places that need them in the future." ”

Cheng Daqi also said, "In the future, if you need the silver, you will go directly to the account office to withdraw it, and you will spend it." ”

"In the future, you will be regarded as a person who supports the door, be more steady, and your temper should be restrained."

Cheng Yousan nodded repeatedly, turned his head and laughed with a few brothers, originally wanted to continue to eat a little wine, Cheng Xiaosi grabbed him, "What should I do?" ”

"When will it be done, the night is long and the dream is many."

Cheng Yousan then remembered that there were still treasures waiting for them on the hills outside the city.

"I'm going to report tomorrow, and I probably won't have time for the rest of it."

"Why don't you ask two cousins to come with you?"

In the ears of several other people, the brother and sister spoke like playing dumb riddles, and Cheng Youqian asked, "What night is long and dreamy, where are you going, what are you talking about?" ”

At this time, Cheng Xiaosi also decided not to hide it from everyone, Cheng Yousan took the lead and said, "It's that Xiaosi's little phoenix always sneaks out at night and brings back a string of pearls and a string of jade, we have been secretly investigating for the past few days, and with a little eyebrows, we are ready to go out of the city to find it?" ”

Cheng Youyou: "What eyebrows?" Make it clear. ”

Cheng Yousan told them in detail, but he didn't say anything about Cheng Xiaosi's dream, instinctively felt that the less he knew about it, the better, Cheng Daqian was the first to understand, "Do you suspect that the big corrupt official's family wealth is on the hill outside the city, and now that the mountain has collapsed, these things will be exposed?" ”

"I know that."

Cheng Youyi: "It is said that the man's surname is Zhao, and he is greedy for silver worth a year's income from the treasury, but nothing has been confiscated. ”

Cheng Daqi frowned slightly, "Go and bring the pearl jade to us to see." ”

The things were carried by Cheng Xiaosi, and Mrs. Cheng was also invited to come and see, and she immediately came to a conclusion, "This string of pearls is the size of a finger, which is not easy to buy, and the thread worn is still a fishing line with gold thread, but the beads are dull, and the gold thread is also black, I am afraid that it has been buried in the ground for a long time."

If this kind of thing is not a burial object, why is it buried in the ground?

Xiao Feng stepped forward to take the beads and sniffed them carefully, and said to Xiao Shan: "Call the thin monkey to come here." ”

The thin monkey is the dart master brought by the Xiao family this time, as his name suggests, not to mention short, but also thin, when he came, there were still oil flowers hanging on the corners of his mouth, and when he saw a room of people, he hurriedly pinched the cuffs and wiped his mouth, and before he opened his mouth, the pearl string was handed to him, "Look where it came from." ”

The thin monkey took it and looked and smelled, "It was buried in the ground with the box, but it was not buried in the earth, and it should be placed in a cave." ”

"Not a funeral?"

"That's not, it doesn't smell like that."

Xiao Feng gave him the jade skewers again, the same conclusion, the thin monkey left when he saw that there was nothing else to do, and the Cheng family made a lot of meat and vegetables to greet them, he was afraid that he would be robbed by those people if he went back late.

At this time, the expressions of the people in the room were a little complicated, and it was impossible to put one or two things of such color in the cave alone, could it be that the treasury of that year was really discovered?

"What should I do?"

Cheng Daqi's voice was a little floating, "Surrender or swallow?" ”

The Cheng family is not short of money, but that is a year's income from the treasury, and if it is embezzled, it will be like a tiger!

But how can so many things be brought back without anyone knowing?

Cheng Daqian suggested that it should be handed over, and the main one would be 'more than worth the loss' if it was discovered.

The Xiao family is very painful, but they also understand that at this critical time, they are only afraid that they will lose their heads if they are found to have embezzled, originally it was from the imperial court, "Even if it is to be handed over, it should be a little benefit, right?" ”

How much is the income of the treasury in a year?

Even if you take it to buy a few officials, you can't spend it all.

Cheng Daqi felt very reasonable, "That's it, everyone talks about what they want, and after thinking about it, go and see if there is really such a large amount of wealth, and if you are sure, I will go to the palace to ask for it, as long as it is not too excessive, it should be possible." ”

"I'll come first."

Cheng Daqi pondered for a moment, "Ask for a message for my mother and little fourth mother." ”

Mrs. Cheng and Xiao He were both a little surprised and a little excited, but the old lady still said, "It's better to stick to the actual situation, and we'll talk about these false names later." ”

As a woman, who doesn't want a fate, that is the highest honor of being a woman, but they are used to paying for their family, and they are always concerned about the affairs of the family.

Xiao He also meant this, Mrs. Decree or something, I didn't even think about it.

Cheng Daqian looked at Cheng Youqian, "I want to ask for a false position." ”

He forgot it himself, and he wanted to fight for his son.

Cheng Youyou said that he didn't want anything, it was the turn of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhanpeng waved his hand, "It's enough for us to go with us to suppress the bandits, and we will definitely have some credit when we wait for the bandits to finish, and when the time comes, we will see who can get the army to eat military salaries." ”

Cheng Yousan was the last to speak, "Dad, what do you ask my sister for, after all, it was Xiao Si who found out, and Xiao Si is the credit." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Xiaosi, Cheng Xiaosi smiled, "I don't want anything, no matter who is good, I can get wet, and I can rise all the boat." ”

Old Madam Cheng laughed, "Xiao Si is right, if you can only ask for one, then ask for the best and most useful, and if one person is good, you can bless everyone." ”

In the end, it is necessary to maximize profits.
