Chapter 332 This is in line with Qi Bainian's identity!
"When Qi Bainian was still there, he was the easing agent between me and the Tu and Lu families. Now that he has fallen, this easing has disappeared. Judging from the actions of the Tu and Lu families towards the Miao family,
, they did not give in because of Qi Bainian’s death.”
Zhao Cheng solemnly said: "Master Deng, there is no possibility of cooperation between me and the Tu and Lu families. We can only live and die."
Deng Fugui said: "Lu Yuan is arrogant and domineering. He is a slave to the common people. Even if the Prime Minister doesn't give orders, I will still deal with him."
Zhao Cheng reminded: "The Tu family and the Lu family are wearing the same pair of pants now."
Deng Fugui nodded and said, "I know what to do. Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, any future government orders from the governor's house will be detrimental to the Tu and Lu families."
Zhao Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Deng."
Deng Fugui thought for a moment and said seriously: "I can target them openly without fear of breaking up with them. But even so, it will not take a while to really bring them down. If the prime minister is in a hurry,
You may have to think of a way to open the Jiangcheng market."
"I know this."
Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "Master Deng, just do your job well."
Deng Fugui immediately raised his glass and said: "Xiaguan's ability to come back and fulfill his ambitions at this age is all due to the support of the young prime minister. I will go all out for everything that happens to the young prime minister!"
…
early morning.
Jiangcheng, North City Gate.
Zhao Cheng led Yuan Yun out of the carriage, turned around and said to Yuan Yun: "It's windy this morning. Madam, please don't get off the carriage and go home."
Yuan Yun nodded, holding her stomach and said: "You should come back early to watch Chang Li be born."
Zhao Cheng said: "Think of a girl's name again. If it's a daughter, I'll let you choose the name."
"Don't you firmly believe that he is a son?"
“It never hurts to prepare one in advance.”
Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "This time it's a boy, we will also have girls in the future."
"I don't want to be a sow." Yuan Yun pouted.
Zhao Cheng went over to hug Yuan Yun and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, madam. I will go back as soon as the affairs of Jiangyang County and Yunjing County are settled."
Yuan Yun said: "You must keep your word. Don't be in Yunjing City when the time comes. Thinking of being close to Southern Zhou, you have the idea of going to Southern Zhou."
"Then I wouldn't dare!"
Zhao Cheng immediately said: "Don't forget that I am the evil star of Southern Spy. The people of Southern Zhou hate me so much that I will not throw myself into a trap."
Yuan Yun nodded and said: "Heng Wenhao will still follow you, Qian Lang will stay with you, and A Tao will just go back with me."
"I need people, so I won't shirk them."
"gone."
With that said, Yuan Yun got into the carriage and pulled down the curtain.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and Zhao Cheng stopped where he was, watching his wife leave.
It was only a few months before Yuan Yun gave birth, and Zhao Cheng had a premonition that he would not be able to make it back, so he wanted to see his wife more.
When they meet again, Yuan Yun will not only be his wife, but also the mother of another person.
There are woods outside the north city gate, and the birds are chirping happily in the early morning.
The sound is smart and crisp.
It was as if he was singing a song to see Yuan Yun off.
It wasn't until Yuan Yun disappeared on the official road in the woods that Zhao Cheng turned around, glanced at Yuan Fei and Qian Lang, and said, "How are you doing?"
Yuan Fei said: "Thanks to the information provided by Qian Lang, we found the private property hidden by Qi Bainian."
"How many?" Zhao Cheng felt his heart beat faster.
"The cash amount alone is more than 100,000 taels, and there are also some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the total amount is estimated to be two to three million."
"That's right!" Zhao Cheng smiled from ear to ear, clapped his hands and said, "This is in line with Qi Bainian's status!!"
Qian Lang said: "I didn't expect him to be so rich..."
Zhao Cheng shook his head and said: "Although it's already a lot, it's actually not as much as I expected. Compared with Su Wansan, it's nothing. This shows that the Tu and Lu families are not generous to Qi Bainian."
Speaking of Su Wansan, Xu An became interested and interjected: "Of course I can't compare with Su Wansan. Our Northern Expedition in Dajing was successful because of Su Wansan's efforts!"
Although the great revenge had been avenged, Yuan Fei still felt uncomfortable when he heard the name Su Wansan. He asked: "Su Wansan's money..."
Zhao Cheng waved his hand and said: "His home was confiscated by the imperial court, and I didn't take advantage."
Xu An asked: "Then this time..."
"We have to take it this time!" Zhao Cheng vowed: "How much effort have we put in to get rid of this corrupt official?!"
"The emperor's place..."
"It was Deng Fugui who ransacked the house, not us."
Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "I have made an agreement with the eldest princess. After all, Qi Bainian is our official in Dajing, and I will not be stingy with what I owe to the palace. The eldest princess also understands us and the Tu and Lu families." Fighting also requires money, and going to Yunjing County will also cost money in the future. Isn't it because we have expanded our business to earn more money for the emperor?"
"On the emperor's side, the eldest princess will help us deal with it."
"Old Xu, go ahead and take care of this matter. Count out half of Qi Bainian's money and things and send them to Deng Fugui. When Mr. Deng takes office as a new official, ask him to lend flowers to Buddha and give this generous gift to the emperor."
Xu An gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "We are happy, the emperor is happy, and Master Deng is also happy. It's like killing three birds with one stone!"
"It's better to have fun alone than to have fun together!!" Zhao Cheng laughed.
After Zhao Cheng and Xu An had fun for a while, Yuan Fei came over and said, "There is one more thing."
Zhao Cheng thought of it immediately and asked, "Did Shang Dongyang make a move?"
Yuan Fei nodded.
…
Shang Dongyang’s residence.
Compared with Zeng Peng and Liu Ying who were sitting in the room together, Shang Dongyang was the youngest, under forty years old. Zeng Peng and Liu Ying were older, both in their early forties.
The two of them looked like scholars at first glance, and were different from Shang Dongyang, who had a full beard.
"Zeng Juncheng, Chief Secretary Liu, in just a few days, hundreds of officials in Jiangcheng were captured by Deng Fugui, and there were about thirty officials in the county governor's office alone. If this continues, it will be our turn sooner or later. You two still have to wait and see. Can you sit still?"
Zeng Peng said calmly: "Shangjun Lieutenant, you have to calm down. As the three of us, he wants to attack us at the same time. I'm afraid he doesn't have the courage and confidence."
Shang Dongyang shook his head and said: "When he first came here, Deng Fugui might not have the confidence, but now? His fires are getting stronger and stronger, and even Mr. Qi's house was ransacked by him. Now, he Mingming is helping the Miao family deal with the Tu and Lu families. He even dares to touch the Tu and Lu families, so how dare he not dare to touch us?"
"Besides, he is a smart man. There is no need to attack us all at the same time. What if he wants to attack us one by one? Who of us can stop him?"
"Brothers, we can no longer sit still and wait for death!"
"I regret now that I shouldn't have listened to you in the first place, saying that I should have resisted the urge to avenge Mr. Qi and let the Tu and Lu families deal with Deng Fugui while we waited for the opportunity to make a last-ditch attack."
"But now I see that Deng Fugui's position is becoming more and more secure!"
"Let's take action! If we don't take action, we may not even have the chance to raise the sword!"
