Cao Jiajia's fingers almost hit the faces of Yang Yuqing and the two sisters. Duanmu Qiao strode in from the outside and kicked them over.
The whole court was in chaos at this kick. Cao Jiajia brought a lot of people with her today. She was preparing to fight, but of course, she had to bring more people.
So as soon as she fell down, the maids, wives, and servants at home swarmed over her, all trying to help her up.
Yang Yuqing felt a little numb when she saw these piled up. None of the maids and servants in this family looked very smart?
"It's all for the old lady to get up. How can the eldest lady get up when you are like this?"
Yang Yuqing was watching the excitement when she heard an old woman's voice coming from the crowd.
"Where did the rude boy dare to attack our eldest daughter? I think you are impatient. Isn't it a bit bad for Mr. Tang to watch others attack our eldest daughter like this?" The old woman looked at the people opposite.
Since the food and salt are not coming in, I can only put pressure on Mr. Tang.
After all, Mr. Tang's father-in-law was under Prime Minister Cao. Whether it was for his father-in-law's official position or for himself, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent while watching the Prime Minister bully someone else's young lady in his court.
Mr. Tang didn't dare to offend Prime Minister Cao, nor did he dare to offend General Pingbei. He didn't dare to offend this guy who had just come in. When he saw the face of the young man who hit him clearly, he was rolling around in his position.
Come this way.
"Wei Chen has met the Fifteenth Prince, but Wei Chen was just blind-sighted, so I ask the Fifteenth Prince to forgive me." Mr. Tang felt that today might be the most unlucky day in his life.
When the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion heard Mr. Tang's address, they knelt down and shouted: "I beg the fifteenth prince to forgive me, I beg the fifteenth prince to forgive me..."
"Jing Zhaoyin, please take out the booklet of registered shops! I want to see what's going on in this shop?" Duanmu Qiao is quite clear about the laws of the Qin Dynasty, so he came here to enter the palace to meet the saint.
After that, he immediately asked his eldest brother to settle the matter of the store first. After all, the stores that were nationalized would be put up for sale soon. Since they had the property deed, they had to go and register it first. The registered store would be
It will never be sold again.
At that time, three of the six shops were written with the name of my younger daughter-in-law, saying that they would be given to her as a dowry in the future. One of the other three shops was written with the name of my mother-in-law, and the other two were written with the name of my sister-in-law.
The two of them are also going to be used as dowries for their sister-in-law.
Mr. Tang still remembers this incident deeply. After all, no one's shop has ever been allocated like this. There is no man in the family, and everything is given to the girl and mother in the family.
When he saw General Pingbei today, he really didn't recognize him. After all, when he came to register the store that day, he didn't say he was General Pingbei. He just reported his name and the property deed.
If he hadn't seen the gold medal that represented his status today, he wouldn't have been able to imagine that a general looked like a scholar, not at all like a man fighting on the battlefield.
The most important thing now is how to solve the matter at hand? He can't afford to offend both sides, but it's no good if he doesn't solve it. If it goes before the emperor, neither of their families will get any relief.
When the clerk next to him heard that the fifteenth prince wanted to see the register, his heart skipped a beat. There were many shops in Kyoto in the past two years. After the house was confiscated, they were all brought here. Mr. Tang may not know how many there are.
It was sold by his brother-in-law, but he, the scribe, knew it. After all, he had always been recording this book, regardless of whether it was in or out.
But he really didn’t know what happened this time. After all, General Pingbei had already recorded these shops and exchanged all the contracts when they came to register. He really didn’t know about Mr. Tang.
How did the brother-in-law obtain those old property deeds?
But Master Tang can't solve this matter, isn't there his father-in-law? Although he is only a third-rank servant, his words will carry more weight than Master Tang.
The scribe tremblingly held the book in front of the fifteenth prince. Duanmu Qiao opened it page by page and looked at each article. From the fifth prince to the seventh prince in the past three years, the capital and surrounding areas had at least
Two to three hundred shops were taken back.
But after rummaging through it, at most there were only a few dozen shops in remote locations, some even worthless shops still in alleys. The others had all been sold, but the recorded silver was simply wrong.
"Shopkeeper of the Cao family, tell me how much money your eldest daughter spent to buy the shop?" Duanmu Qiao stared at the shopkeeper who was first brought over by his brother-in-law with a dangerous look on his face.
"Four, four thousand taels of silver. My eldest daughter bought three of them, all at the same price." The shopkeeper was a little stuttered and couldn't answer, because he had already told General Pingbei in the morning.
"A shop has four thousand taels, and none of the three hundred and five hundred taels recorded here exceeds eight hundred taels. As a result, each of these shops purchased outside costs several thousand taels. Where did all the money go?" Duanmu
Qiao looked through it carefully and looked carefully. No wonder his brother said that the treasury had no money and had to rely on confiscating homes to replenish the treasury.
With these borers, how can the national treasury be filled? This is only a small part. Those Zhuangzi fields on the outskirts of Kyoto account for a much larger proportion than Kyoto and the surrounding shops.
However, there is no money in the treasury. It seems that we cannot blame his brother. If we should blame him, it is because they have a prodigal father. The two brothers took over. This extremely poor Qin country still had to work hard and ransack its properties to make money.
Suddenly I felt that my two brothers were a little pitiful. They were so poor!
It was the first time for Yang Yuling to see this side of this child, and she felt that he was pretending to be cool.
"On the main street of the Imperial Palace, a shop only sells for 300 taels of silver? Mr. Tang, I remember that I spent 10,000 taels on a shop on the main street of the Imperial Palace. You only write that a shop here only costs 300 taels? Three hundred taels? How did you write that?
Are you going to do it?" Duanmu Qiao almost laughed out loud at the amounts above. He really didn't expect that Mr. Tang would be so greedy.
Ten thousand taels of shops were written here, but only three hundred taels were written here. There was a difference of 9,700 taels of silver, a full 9,700 taels of silver...
Mr. Tang was lying on the ground shivering. He had just heard the fifteenth prince say that he bought 10,000 taels from a shop.
Went to buy it.
Because they were all shops with the best locations on the busiest streets in Kyoto, he dared to ask for 10,000 taels. Duanmu Qiao, who was still the second son of Marquis Zhongyong at the time, bought two of them.
His brother-in-law was not the legitimate son of his father-in-law, but the concubine of his concubine. The monthly money given by the government was not enough to cover expenses, so there were many places where money was needed.
