It can be regarded as Mrs. Zhang's bad luck, the front foot just sent out the ransom of 300,000 taels, and the back foot kidnappers ran away, and swallowed the silver before running away, of course, Zhang Dewen was knocked out and thrown on the official road, and when General Niu took people to go, they were still lying on the side of the road, and the two grandsons of Qiu Shoufu's family were also lying together.

General Niu led people to pretend to search for a while, and the emperor was not idle, and before General Niu returned, he began to spread the news outside, saying that he loved the people like a son, and after learning about this, he had sent people to suppress the bandits, so that the people did not need to panic.

The people were naturally grateful again, Cheng Daqi had mixed feelings in his heart, and respectfully put the Cheng family caravan out of the business road to dedicate it.

"Yesterday the following people sent this road up, Wechen was extremely happy, with this road to the north of the grassland will be much closer, and the road is better, the goods on both sides will be more and more smooth, Wechen's second brother has sent someone to start preparing the goods, accompanied by the dart bureau to go again, if it goes through again, other merchants on this road can also go."

The opening of a business road is a steady stream of wealth in the eyes of merchants, but it has a different value in the eyes of the emperor, and he also knows that the opening of a road often pays a great price, and he will not easily tell outsiders, he is very satisfied with Cheng Daqi's knowledge of current affairs, and he also knows the purpose of sending it at the moment.

"Daqi, I have always relied on you, and you have not disappointed me, and I am very relieved."

"Your father-in-law is also good, I heard that his son and grandson have gone to the Niu family to serve the country, and bring him a message for me, he can return from a mountain bandit to a good citizen, and he has cultivated a good son for our dynasty, I see it in my eyes, and I hope that he will continue to serve the country with his children and grandchildren in the future."

Cheng Daqi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Weichen thanked the emperor for his father-in-law's love, and he must convey that his father-in-law will do his best to share the emperor's worries." “

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and when Cheng Daqi withdrew from the imperial study, the sweat behind his back flowed down his back, soaking through the clothes on his body, and after leaving the palace, he climbed into the carriage and exhaled a few heavy breaths in the carriage.

When he told Xiao Zhanpeng the news, Xiao Zhanpeng regretted it very much, what did he do in the capital in a good manner?

knew that it was not easy to mix in the capital, but I didn't expect such a danger, and I almost got the family in.

"That's it, it's a danger and an opportunity, and the plan for now is to rot that little thing in my heart, and then let the emperor send it."

Fortunately, no one in the Xiao family knew about this except him, and even his old buddy only knew that he was making money, and he didn't know that the mastermind was the emperor.

"600,000 taels in the mountain col, let's send a message to the little generals of the Niu family."

Cheng Daqi got up and bowed his hand, "I can't help you in this matter." ”

Xiao Zhanpeng glared at him angrily, "What else can I do if I can't help it?" ”

"A little better for my poor girl in the future than anything else."

In the evening, General Niu came back, bringing back the 300,000 taels from the Qi family and the 300,000 taels that Mrs. Zhang sent out this morning, as well as three unlucky people who woke up.

When Mrs. Zhang saw her youngest son, she first hugged and cried for a while, and then asked General Niu for her 300,000 taels of ransom, and General Niu didn't give him a single look and entered the palace with the silver and handed it over to the emperor.

"The kidnappers received the news and fled early, leaving a ransom of 600,000 taels, and the general has brought them all back."

The Emperor let out an 'um' sound, "Deliver this ransom to the Ministry of Households and put it into the treasury." ”

I sighed very emotionally in my heart, thinking that this method would be fast, and if it wasn't for the follow-up things being too troublesome, he would still want to continue to do it.

General Maverick was used to doing such things, so he didn't say a word, and turned around to get busy.

The next day, there was more news in the teahouse, "If you want to say that the Zhang family is a rich and noble family in the dark, Zhang Gongzi spent 80,000 taels in Fireworks Lane Willow without blinking a glance earlier, and this time he took out 300,000 yuan to redeem him, how much silver does this Zhang family have?" ”

"These eunuchs are not easy to say."

These news blew quickly throughout the whole process, and the Zhang family knew that it was not good, but this was not the time to complain about Mrs. Zhang's mother and son, and immediately chose to release the private affairs of each family in their hands, and the cousin and cousin of which family got together, and the cousin married another receiver with a big belly;

Whose adult secretly raises the outer room, the outer room is still the sister of the housewife, compared to how the Zhang family's money came from, the people obviously prefer to listen to the gossip of the high gate, and soon no one is interested in the Zhang family.

Although the rumors have been suppressed, the emperor has instructed the imperial history to officially impeach Lord Zhang for corruption, and a large amount of money in the palace is not coming from the right way.

"I said he couldn't have seen such a big fat meat and not bitten it."

Cheng Daqian was biting his eldest brother's ear again, "The money is gone, the people are done, and the reputation is also gained, that's this."

He gave a thumbs up.

"Big brother, we have to be careful and careful in the future."

As a person who can also be in charge of the family, he knows how much wealth the Cheng family has, and if the emperor is extremely hungry one day, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have any thoughts about them.

Cheng Daqi reassured him, not for the time being, "There is no turning back arrow when you open the bow, how can you do it alone?" ”

"There will be a scientific examination soon, and a large number of officials will come out at that time, and the positions of many people will also be moved, a Zhang family can't satisfy his appetite, how can he also ask for three or five, after all, he has tasted the sweetness, and he can also knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, so that the people below can be honest for a while, and he can win more good reputations."

He is a businessman, and he can best understand people's hearts, and the emperor has tasted the sweetness of a book of ten thousand profits, but he is afraid that this year will be on the way to punish corruption.

Cheng Daqian gave his brother a thumbs up, "Then let's do a good job and see how the situation is." ”

At this moment, the father and son of the Yuan family are also whispering about this, Yuan Pei saw the clue from 600,000 taels, what kidnappers didn't spend any money, and they didn't bring anything when they ran away?

"I'm afraid it's a thief shouting to catch a thief."

Yuan Su lowered his head and tasted tea, "Zhang Dewen's 80,000 taels should be spent to know that he will be poor in the future, and the master's background is not deep and he is still so public, he should be remembered." ”

"After the raid of Qiu Cao's two families last year, each family was persuading, so that he had no choice but to continue to start, now this step is good, a bureau can open this opening, this time the opening of each family has no way, always have to give up some people to come out, speaking of a million profits, this knife down has everything."
