Li Chi said: "Bring tea with you, or I will send someone to you."

Guiyuan Shu took people back to the Dali Temple yamen. The craftsmen were repairing the houses. How could this be repaired? It was almost the same as reconstruction.

The mottled paint surface was peeled off and ready to be repainted, while the broken windows and door panels were also removed, saying that the size was measured and the new one was already ready to be made.

Guiyuan Shuxin said that this guy is really crazy because he has too much money. If he is so arrogant, wouldn’t he be afraid that His Majesty will confiscate all his money?

Your Majesty is now short of money and is grimacing, and the money in his pocket is not much more than Dali Temple.

When holding a hero conference, all kinds of rewards were mentioned, but the amount of silver was not mentioned, because His Majesty had no money.

If Cao Du is so arrogant, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to bear it.

But is that guy really stupid or fake stupid?

Just as I was thinking about this, two big trucks came over and stopped at the entrance of Dali Temple. Four or five chefs got out of the car, and the people in the other started to carry ingredients down.

Zheng Shunshun hurried over and asked what was going on. The answer he got was surprising...

The young marquis Cao Du invited the chefs from the three restaurants of Yuxianglou, Gaotailou and Qiongyaolou, and brought precious ingredients to cook lunch for the adults in Dali Temple. This was the young marquis' apology for yesterday's offense.

After hearing this, Guiyuan Shu strode over and looked at the chefs.

"You all go. I don't need you to cook any food here, go back."

Guiyuan waving his hand.

One of the chefs said with a bitter face: "Sir, if we go back, it is difficult to explain. I am afraid we will even lose our job."

Guiyuan Shu said: "You are just hired by him. I said no, you just go back and report. What else can he do to you?"

The chef replied: "Our Gaotai Tower was just bought by the little marquis. The little marquis is our boss. If the boss doesn't listen, then I will be kicked out when I go back."

Another chef said: "Our Yuxianglou was also bought by the little marquis, it's all for the morning."

"And our Qiong Yaolou, the same is true. The price of the little marquis is extremely high. We who are in charge of the company can't do it even if we want to sell it."

After hearing them, Guiyuan Shu took a deep breath, then turned around and walked back: "Then you do it and show all your special skills. I haven't entered a restaurant for several years, so I'll eat open today!"

Dingman asked, "Sir, what exactly does that guy want to do?"

Guiyuan Shu said as he walked, "There are only two things. First, he already knew that His Majesty asked us to stare at him, so he just pestered us like this, which made us disgusted... Second, he dug a hole for us. We took his money and renovated the yamen. At this time, so many people were invited to cook for us. When he turned around, he asked someone to report to His Majesty, he said that our Dali Temple had accepted Cao Du's bribes. This trick was even more disgusting. I didn't think of it at first, but now I figured it out..."

Zheng Shunshun asked, "Then, should we eat it, or not?"

"eat!"

Guiyuan Shu said: "Anything that is not eaten is delivered to your home. If you don't eat it, you're stupid to make a fool of yourself!"

Two hours later, Shiyuan Palace and Imperial Study Room.

Prime Minister Yao Zhidong leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, this Cao Du is really too presumptuous. The ridiculous things he has done in the past two days are outrageous!"

Emperor Yang Jing turned his head and looked at him: "As the prime minister of the current dynasty, can't you be more stable?"

Yao Zhidong said: "Your Majesty, after this person arrived in Daxing City, he would not talk about distributing official silver to the people, but he should do the work of restoring the Dali Temple Minister Gui Yuanshu and others."

"humiliation?"

The emperor looked at Hui Chunqiu, the commander of the Great Guard: "I heard what Hui Chunqiu said, it seems that it is not a humiliation."

He stood up and walked around the imperial study room and said, "Build the house for Dali Temple, ask the chef to go to Dali Temple to cook for them, and also give Guiyuan Shu seven or eight jin of Dahongpao..."

Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help laughing, but fortunately he didn't say anything.

Seven or eight jin of Dahongpao...

The annual output is three kilograms and two kilograms, and the daily sales are more than 20 kilograms. To be precise, the daily sales to Cao Du are more than 20 kilograms.

Yao Zhidong said: "Your Majesty, don't be deceived by this person's appearance. I suspect that this person came to the capital and was the spy for the rebel Li Chi..."

The emperor smiled and said, "Spy? The rebel Li Chi has such a huge capital."

He turned around and pointed to the box on the table and said, "Yesterday, Liu Shixun, the Minister of Personnel, had a meal with Cao Du. I instructed him to go. Cao Du tried every means to ask someone to see me. Do you know why?"

Yao Zhidong didn't dare to talk easily, and shook his head and said, "I don't know."

The emperor said: "The Cao family was scared. Li Chi's rebels had already captured Yuzhou. The Cao family had to move to Qiuzhou, but they did not dare to confront the rebels head-on, and gave the rebels a large sum of silver."

"Cao Ziluo was worried that the Cao family would do something, and I got angry when I found out, so she arranged for Cao Du to come to the capital to see me, and to try every means to see me. Do you know, how much money did he give out yesterday? Officials from various ministries received Cao Du's gifts, twenty-one of whom received pearls, each worth hundreds of gold in the book."

The emperor looked back at Yao Zhidong: "Do you know what gift he gave to Liu Shixun, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?"

Yao Zhidong shook his head again: "I... really don't know."

The emperor pointed to the table: "It's right there, Lord Liu dare not accept it, so he handed it to me. You can go over and take a look."

Yao Zhidong said to me why I saw that thing, but I didn’t dare to disobey it, so I went over and picked up the thing and looked at it.

Then his face changed: "Is this... the original work of Mr. Songming?"

The emperor nodded, slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have seen it. It is indeed the original work of Mr. Songming. If I have seen it, I will not be wrong. So it is not an exaggeration to say that this calligraphy is worth ten thousand yuan."

Yao Zhidong quickly replied: "It's not an exaggeration, it's indeed an exaggeration."

The emperor said: "In order to see me, Cao Du spent the gifts he spent together, the value of which was about tens of thousands of taels..."

He walked to the desk and sat down, and looked at the letter.

"I asked Liu Shixun to ask tentatively. Liu Shixun replied to me that Cao Du seems to be arrogant and ignorant, but it is just a concealment. He does not want people to feel that the Cao family is in crisis. Cao Du came this time to offer almost all the Cao family's wealth, with the purpose of asking me to allow the Cao family to move into Daxing City."

The emperor sighed: "I didn't believe it at first, but Cao Du asked Liu Shixun to bring back that thing to me."

He pointed to the small wooden box on the table.

Yao Zhidong subconsciously opened the wooden box, and there was only a piece of paper inside.

The emperor said, "Let's take a look."

Yao Zhidong picked up the paper and looked at it. There were not many words on it, but the more I read it, the more I became more and more shocked.

The emperor said slowly: "The thief Li Chi hates the great families the most. He almost cleans up all the people of the great families when he arrives in the place. Are there fewer thieves doing the scout? You have never heard of this."

"Cao Ziluo is worried that Li Chi will not stop if he swallows his property, and will force them to leave, or simply get rid of them."

"In this letter, it records the place where the Cao family hid silver in Qiuzhou and Luling. Qiuzhou has a huge amount of silver hidden by tens of millions, and Luling also has at least millions of taels..."

The emperor let out a heavy breath: "So much silver, I can arm the millions of troops!"

He looked at Yao Zhidong: "I have sent someone to rush to Lu Ling as soon as possible to verify this matter, so I can't move this Cao Du. When the people I sent to check back, I will naturally make a decision."

Yao Zhidong swallowed with difficulty, thinking that if you have money, can you really do whatever you want?

Is even His Majesty the Emperor going to talk to the Cao family?

Then, will Cao Du continue to be domineering when he is in the capital next?

The emperor looked at him as if he saw many question marks on his face.

Yao Zhidong calculated it and it would take at least two and a half months to rush from the capital to Luling and come back. Within these two and a half months...

Yao Zhidong cursed in his heart.

Bastard, I don’t give it to me after so many people?

Even if you give it to me, will I give you face?
