deliberately hung them for several days, and Cui Pu took a break to recruit these Hu businessmen to meet.

And in the past few days, Mrs. Wei Tingshi asked someone to transport out a few boxes of dowries and take them to the pawnshop, and made up enough 1,000 yuan to send to Mu Jiaojiao.

Although she did things in a hidden way, how could she escape the eyes of these powerful people?

Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao naturally sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and watched them pretend to be poor. And in the eyes of several presidents of the Chamber of Commerce, this kind of situation has a little deeper meaning - it turns out that in the confrontation with Governor Cui, Wei Tingshi actually lost so badly! Even Wei Tingshi paid them a thousand yuan, so the valuables he gave away were nothing.

Of course, the loss of money is relatively small, and the biggest impact this incident has had on them is still psychological-this is the second time that Wei Tingshi's family has fallen into the hands of Governor Cui!

You must know that Wei Tingshi is also a history of assassination, and what he does is to supervise and control the behavior of all officials in Lingnan. If anyone provokes him, he will report to the saint with a letter of paper, and that person will be finished! However, he did not do this, but quietly put the matter to no end twice in a row, and this time he even took the initiative to lose money to Cui Pu, does that mean that Cui Pu has pinched his seven inches, so that Wei Tingshi does not dare to touch him for half a point at all?

In this case, then their previous decision to choose to join Wei Tingshi was really wrong!

It's just that who would have thought that such a small prefect could have such a great ability to make a thorn Shi obediently listen to him? Looking at Wei Thorn Shi's menacing appearance when he first took office, what great ability did they really have as this one! As a result......

Hey, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Therefore, after setting a time to meet Cui Pu, the group of people got together again.

"For the time being, we must give Governor Cui a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, he is afraid that he will not let us go easily. "Naturally, the president of the Chamber of Commerce is He Wanqing, who presides over the overall situation.

The three vice presidents also looked solemn.

"This matter is indeed our carelessness. Although this new prefect is young, he is a ruthless character, and we underestimated him too much at first! There is also the matter of Nanman, which is also unfavorable for us to supervise, so we casually helped him write a letter of recommendation. I wrote this letter of recommendation, and I bear this sin!" The second person to speak was Lu Huan, the vice president who was listed as a key observation object by Cui Pu.

As soon as he said this, President He Wanqing's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Although the letter was written by you, it was also written after all of us discussed and nodded unanimously. If you want to say that there is a fault, all of us are at fault, how can you be left alone to bear all the blame?"

The others nodded their heads as well.

"However, do you think Governor Cui will believe this? He has a long-standing grudge against us, and if we don't send someone to vent to him this time, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to be good!" Lu Huan sighed.

These words touched the tightest string in everyone's hearts.

Recently, they saw Cui Pu's methods to deal with Wei Tingshi, and they quietly sent people to Yangzhou to investigate, only to find that Cui Pu's methods were so powerful! When he was in Yangzhou, he was a well-known Shangguan killer, and whoever dared to stand in his way would block the killing of the Buddha and the killing of the Buddha.

Since becoming the prefect, I don't know if it's because of years of officialdom that has made him more mellow, or because of his father's relationship, he has restrained a little. However, it was just restraint, and he didn't change his character. Otherwise, how did Dai Ziang carry him down one by one? Niu Xianlin walked to Yangzhou in a hurry, and how did he escape back with his tail between his legs? There are countless small fish and shrimp that were trampled to death by Cui Pu.

In Yangzhou, there are many people who love him and admire him, but there are also many people who hate him so much that they grit their teeth!

In fact, if you do the math, it has been less than a year since Cui Pu came to Guangzhou, and there are already many people in the Lingnan area whose official careers have been darkened because of his relationship. Just like the theft of official silver in the first half of the year, this case seems to be that Wei Tingshi has been jumping up and down after being busy, but everyone who understands it knows in their hearts that the cause of the incident is Cui Pu, and the whole process was also promoted by him.

The counterfeit drug incident in the first two months has caused many officials in Quanzhou and other places to be investigated. These seem to be only led by Wei Tingshi, but after careful inspection, the driving force behind the scenes is actually Cui Pu!

In other words, the two major events that occurred in the Lingnan region one after another during the year seemed to be the great energy exerted by Wei Tingshi, but in fact, it was this Cui Zhifu who really benefited! After all, he enjoyed the fruits of Wei Tingshi's labor without spending a single soldier. And what about Wei Tingshi? He also got a face-saving scenery, and they didn't see the real and substantive reward, but Wei Tingshi also offended many people! Those who lost their official position or were demoted because of his relationship remembered him in their hearts!

Plus the incident at the gate of Fanfang this time......

Oh, my God!

Thinking about these things together, they couldn't help but have a little admiration for Cui Pusheng.

It seems that when he came to Guangzhou, he was not restrained because he was unfamiliar with his life, but because he had a more mellow temperament and knew how to use the hands of others to achieve his own goals!

Look at how long it has been, when Wei Tingshi was making all kinds of tossing and turning big moves, his free medicine and the people's arrest of thieves These small things also quietly infiltrated the lives of the people, and invisibly cleaned up the discipline of the Guangzhou Mansion. In less than a year, everyone's quality of life has improved by more than a notch!

Calculated carefully, there have been a lot of things that have happened in the past six months, and countless people have suffered. However, no matter what, there is always a name among the beneficiaries, and that name may be inconspicuous, or it may only occupy a small corner, but if you see more, you will always find some clues. The name is - Cui Pu!

If it hadn't been for Lu Huan to mention it, they wouldn't have found out about it. And when they found out this, they also understood the meaning of Lu Huan's words - since the matter was related to Cui Pu again, and it hurt the two people he valued the most, then this matter could not be good. If they are smart enough, it is best to quickly come up with a charter and give Cui Pu a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, if it is Cui Pu's turn to take the initiative to put forward conditions, then they will be ready to be skinned and cramped by him!

"This time, if we don't take a piece of flesh from his body and give it to him, he won't be satisfied. President He Wanqing sighed.

Lu Huan bowed. "Exactly. ”

The faces of the others changed slightly, but they all nodded in agreement.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was terrifyingly oppressive.

On the day of meeting Cui Pu, all of them dressed up and came to the mansion with their front and back feet.

After the meeting, there was no need to greet him, President He Wanqing sent a list to Cui Pu: "Governor Cui, we have already found out about the murderer Nanman changing his name and surname and sneaking into Guangzhou. It was the person on this list who helped him ask for a guide and make a fake identity, and the person he came to Guangzhou to vouch for him has also been found. Now, these people in Guangzhou have already gone to the government to surrender themselves, and we have sent people to look for them who are not in Guangzhou, and we will definitely bring them all back to Guangzhou in the shortest possible time to subdue the Fa. Of course, Nanman will get a letter of recommendation to settle in Guangzhou, which is also related to our negligence. We dare not shirk our responsibilities. It's just that because the Hu Chamber of Commerce has a very special status in Guangzhou, if we all go to prison because of this incident, I am afraid that it will cause panic among all the Hu people who do business in Guangzhou, and then cause panic in the territory of the new Tang Dynasty. I don't think you want to see such an outcome, so if we can, we are willing to use money to atone for our sins. Governor Cui, what do you think of this idea?"

After reading the list from beginning to end, and then listening to his words, Cui Pu couldn't help but raise his eyes and carefully examine all the backbone members of the Hu Chamber of Commerce.

It's not easy, these people!!" he exclaimed to himself.

To honestly hand over the lower-level personnel involved first and let him dispose of them is to provide enough people for him to vent his anger. Then, he offered to spend money to atone for his sins, and he also helped him consider the fate of shaking the foundation of the Hu Chamber of Commerce from his point of view...... Of course, he didn't plan to actually move them all. Of course, he had already expected the consequences of doing so, and he was not stupid enough to dig his own grave.

It's just that these people have helped him think of everything they can think of, and they have also made the most appropriate response intimately, what is this called?

He's ready to bargain with them! Now, the solution they came up with is the best he had ever imagined, so what else can he say?

Cui Pu suddenly had the feeling of a punch on the cotton. And this feeling ...... Damn it, it's exactly the same as every time he fucks the King of the River!

Thinking of the King of Hejian, his mood instantly became worse. That old monster, since he had a quarrel with the eldest lady, he gave up on himself in the palace and pretended to be a ghost and frightened people, and he even frightened him! Then he patiently persuaded him and invited him to attend the birthday banquet of the eldest lady. He said that he would not come, but the girl was not slow at all! and he also gave a bunch of expensive gifts to the eldest lady, which amused the eldest lady at once. And then, the two of them got back together! and even a little more intimate than before!

I'm so angry with him!

What about the estrangement that will arise after a good quarrel? This is shameless!

Since he thought of the King of Hejian County, Cui Pu naturally lost his good face towards the group of people in front of him. He only snorted: "Although your words are good, but if this mansion is like this, wouldn't it seem that this mansion is too easy to talk to?"

Several Hu merchants heard these words in their ears, and the corners of their mouths twitched in unison.

Governor Cui, are you playing tricks on me? They really want to ask.

is such a big person, he can't think of any other way to find fault with them, so he throws out such a shameless sentence, he is also ruthless enough!

Hu businessmen, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, everyone unanimously set their eyes on Lu Huan.

Cui Pu saw it and quietly took this scene into his eyes.

Lu Huan winked at the president.

President He Wanqing hurriedly took out another letter and respectfully approached Cui Pu: "This is the cost of atonement that we have preliminarily decided, Governor Cui, please see if it is enough." If it's not enough, we can add more. ”

Cui Pu took it lazily. When he opened it, he almost jumped up—five thousand! And five thousand! Four people together were twenty thousand!

This price is high enough, so he can't bear to raise the price at all, okay?

Is this group crazy? He'd never seen so many little sheep sent into the hungry wolf's mouth.

His gaze naturally fell on Lu Huan again.

Lu Huan noticed it, so he looked at him generously: "Of course, we have our purpose in currying favor with you like this. ”

"Really? ”

Lu Huan had to look at President He Wanqing again. Cui Pu said: "Didn't you hear? This government asks you to say it, and this government only listens to you!"

Lu Huan was helpless. "Yes, that's it. These days, we also observed this free decoction of the prefect's wife, and found that its effect was very significant, and after only a few months, the mortality rate of the newly moved Hu people in Fanfang was greatly reduced. We were very interested in the recipe of this herb, so we wanted to take some herbs overseas to sell them the next time we sailed to buy them. Of course, we will pay the price of the herbs. If the prefect's wife can have other recipes, we will also accept them. ”

"Well...... The house has to discuss it with the lady first. You guys go back first!" Cui Pu waved his hand calmly.

As soon as the front foot of the group left, he quickly raised his foot and ran to the backyard, shouting as he ran: "Lady, come out quickly! Crazy, crazy, this group of people are crazy! I will go crazy too!"
