Chapter 537, Collusion
"Well, today's Tobe Shangshu has been cultivating at home because of his advanced age and poor health, so the affairs of the household department are all taken care of by Tobe Shirou..."
Nodding, Sima Yin thought for a moment and continued.
The household department manages the tax revenue of the merchants, and its highest jurisdiction is the household department Shangshu!
Now Tobe Shangshu is cultivating at home, and Tobe Shirou is dominant!
This family Shirou is named Yang Jie, more than forty years old, and he is romantic by nature!
"Hehe... No wonder the matchmaker dared to make a gambling contract, she was very sure, it turned out to be a collusion between officials and businessmen..."
Hearing what he said, he already knew it in his heart, and Yongsheng Hou sneered.
"Ping'er, what should we do now?"
Seeing this, Sima Yin frowned slightly and asked in a loud voice.
"Let's go, let's go to the household department and sit..."
Turning his head and blinding the other party, the corners of Yongshenghou's mouth lifted slightly, and he replied with a smile.
With that, with one hand on his back, Yongsheng Hou paced forward.
Beside him, he nodded, and Sima Yin followed.
After a long time, after turning a few street corners, Yongsheng Hou and Sima Yin came to a mansion.
I saw that outside the gate of the palace, it was very deserted, and there were two soldiers guarding it!
The plaque on the top of the heads of these two people is engraved with the word "Hubu"!
"Who's coming! Stop! This is the household department, don't enter the idlers!"
Outside the gate, seeing the arrival of Yongsheng Hou and Sima Yin, the two soldiers immediately shouted loudly.
Seeing this, Yongsheng Hou stopped and looked back at Sima Yin.
Glancing at each other, Sima Yin nodded, stepped forward, and took out a golden token from his arms!
On the other side, seeing this golden token, the two soldiers' expressions changed, and they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Glancing at the two, Yongshenghou waved his hand and walked into the door.
Behind him, he withdrew the golden token, and Sima Yin followed him.
Not long after, three thousand white hairs were waist-high, and the Marquis of Yongsheng took Sima Yin to the household hall!
At this moment, in the hall, a middle-aged man, wearing an official hat, was sitting on the main chair, leisurely sipping tea.
Suddenly, seeing two strangers walk into the hall, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, and immediately stood up.
"Who are you?"
Glancing at the two, the middle-aged man asked in a low voice.
This is the household department, the imperial court, how can idlers be allowed to come in and out at will!
On the other side, listening to his question, Yongsheng Hou did not respond, but paced to the main chair and sat down slowly.
"Presumptuous!"
Seeing this, the middle-aged man stared at him and was furious.
What a bold man! Dare to ignore the official and sit on the main chair of the official!
Beside him, blinding the other party, Sima Yin took out the golden token from his arms again!
Suddenly, when he saw the golden token, the middle-aged man looked shocked!
As an official of the imperial court, he knows that the golden token in the other party's hand is extraordinary!
This golden token symbolizes an incomparably noble status!
In today's government and the opposition, there are no more than five fingers to have this golden token!
Immediately, the middle-aged man looked solemn, looked at Yongshenghou, and looked at him secretly.
The other party was dressed in a purple robe, more than thirty years old, and his head was full of white hair...
Gray hair! He is...
"Down... See Hou Ye for the next official!"
Shocked by the thought in his heart, the middle-aged man swallowed his saliva and hurriedly knelt down and saluted!
Although he has never been to the early dynasty, he has heard the book of the household department mention it!
In today's government and the opposition, there is a killing god!
The civil and military officials talked about it in private! As the saying goes, it is better to offend the king of Hades than to offend the god of killing!
This killing god is the famous Marquis of Yongsheng!
The person in front of me now is probably the God of Killing!
"Hehe... You're Yang Jie?"
On the main chair, blinding each other, Yongshenghou waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Yes! Shiro Tobe is Shirou Tobe... Yang Jie!"
Hearing this, he was stunned, and the middle-aged man replied in a trembling voice.
Sure enough, the white-haired man in front of him never denied it! Then he was really a god-killer!
"Master Hou... I don't know if today's big driver household department... What's going on?"
After that, after confirming the identity of the other party, Yang Jie asked timidly.
Although it is the first time to meet each other, how can you not be afraid?
It is rumored that this killing god, even the prince dared to be slashed by the sword back then! Not to mention, his own small Tobe Shirou!
At this moment, Yang Jie was both scared and confused.
I don't know why this great god came to this small household today...
"Ahem, ahem... Yang Shilang, Ben Hou heard that tomorrow night's Oiran Contest is held by the Ministry of Households?"
On the main chair, with a pale cough, Yongsheng Hou said straight to the point.
Beside him, Sima Yin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Yang Jie with majestic eyes.
"Tomorrow night's Oiran Contest is indeed held by the lower officials..."
Hearing this, Yang Jie nodded honestly.
Immediately, I already understood in my heart that the killing god was here for the Oiran Contest!
When I mentioned this Oiran Contest, I was very proud in my heart!
I went to Piaoxiang Building last night, and the matchmaker actually asked the top brand Xiaofeng to entertain herself!
So, one night of spring, I won Xiaofeng's red pill, and I should be really satisfied!
However, I also privately promised the matchmaker!
That is, the winner of the Oiran Contest tomorrow night, the final winner must be Xiaofeng of Piaoxianglou!
In this regard, now that the household department is cultivating at home, he is the only one in the household department, and Xiaofeng has also become his own woman, of course he can't treat her badly!
However, today, this killing god is coming, and it seems that the situation is not right...
"Well, Yang Shilang, I don't know who will decide who will win the final winner of this Oiran Competition?"
Opposite, leaning back in the main chair, Yongsheng Hou raised his sword eyebrows and continued to ask.
"Lord Qiqi, tomorrow night Oiran Competition, there will be ten officials from the household department to participate in the decision, and the final election will be made by ten people..."
Listening to the inquiry, he didn't dare to deceive, Yang Jie replied honestly.
It's just that these ten officials are all their own henchmen!
Therefore, the winner of tomorrow night must be Xiaofeng of Piaoxiang Building!
"Ahem, ahem... Yang Shilang, according to Benhou's view, there are still deficiencies in the election of these ten people..."
Hearing this, he waved his hand, and Yongsheng Hou coughed with a pale face.
"Lacking?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Jie frowned slightly, and his face showed a look of doubt.
"That's right! Ben Hou believes that since the Oiran is elected, it should obey the will of the people! The ten-person decision will be abolished, and the people present will be elected together tomorrow night!"
Seeing this, he nodded, and the corners of Yongshenghou's mouth lifted lightly, and he explained with a smile.
I know that if it is decided by ten people in the household, then the Oiran must be the Xiaofeng of Piaoxianglou!
But if it is elected by the people present, then the winner can only rely on his own true ability!
That's what you do... Fair!
"This..."
On the other side, listening to what he said, Yang Jie frowned deeply, and couldn't help but look embarrassed.
I promised last night that I would definitely let Xiaofeng become an Oiran!
But if it's a popular election, then maybe...
"What? What is wrong with what Ben Hou said?"
On the main chair, seeing that the other party was embarrassed, Yongshenghou's eyes flashed, and he asked in a cold voice.
