The head of the Household Department raised an eyebrow lightly and said with a smile: "Are you still trying to show off to me? The house deeds and land deeds of Ziyanfang should be in your hands? Hand over the house deeds and land deeds, don't delay my work, and still

I’m going to Suzhou.”

Xue Poye was shocked. He turned his head slightly and saw the arrogant look of the head of the household department. He couldn't help but feel disgusted. This guy asked for the title deed and house deed of Ziyanfang, blatantly, but he didn't know why he had such courage.

Although Xue Poye's takeover of Ziyanfang has not been made public yet and no one knows, why is it not the turn of a household head to take over?

"Sir, I don't understand what you are saying." Qian smiled with a humble smile and said calmly: "Sir, you should know whose property this shop belongs to, and the house deed and land deed are also gifts given by the master.

If you want to take back the ones that came down, you have to ask for permission from the master. Just saying this and wanting to take away the house deed and title deed would be a bit too...hehe...it would be too rash."

The head of the household department slammed the table and shouted: "Qian, don't be so shameless. Who is the master you are talking about?"

Qian Xiaolian is indeed a man who has experienced many storms. The head of the household department was angry. He did not change his color at all. He still had a smiling face and said calmly: "Sir, you are joking. Who is the master of the forty-four shops in Ziyanfang?"

, you know better than me."

The head of the household department smiled coldly and said with a grin: "You mean your second master? Let me make it clear to you. The fourth master has already taken over this Ziyanfang. I am following the order of the fourth master.

, come here to receive the house deed and title, stop talking nonsense, take it out, don’t let us do it ourselves."

Xue Poye naturally understood what the so-called "two masters" and "four masters" meant. He frowned and thought in his mind: "Why did Liu Zifu get involved?" After thinking for a moment, he immediately understood that Prince Fu was naturally the same.

He coveted Prince Yin as a huge money-making machine, so as soon as Prince Yin died, he immediately started to take over Ziyanfang.

This household department manages money merchants all over the world. It is very convenient for Prince Fu to send a head of the household department to handle these matters. However, Xue Poye is very angry. After all, he is his subordinate and is being used by Prince Fu.

It's just that what he is grabbing is the Ziyanfang given to him by Prince Yin, which makes Xue Poye very unhappy.

He calmly put the black ring that Prince Yin gave him on his finger. It felt cold to the bone, but this black ring had unparalleled value. What Xue Poye wanted to do most now was to try it.

Does this ring really have that power.

Now he is also thinking about something of great political significance.

Xue Poye didn't understand why both Prince Yin and Prince Fu were involved in forming a clique for personal gain. Each had its own power. Now that His Majesty the Emperor had defeated Prince Yin, why was Prince Fu fine? Is His Majesty's next target of attack the Prince Fu?

?

The most important thing is, at this juncture, why does Prince Fu dare to go to war and send people to take over Prince Yin's property? Doesn't he himself understand that the more powerful he is, the more tabooed he is by His Majesty the Emperor?

Xue Poye frowned. Since Prince Fu dares to be so bold, does he have anything to rely on?

He suddenly thought of the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor. According to Gong Yangyue, His Majesty the Emperor was injured. Could it be that after the injury, His Majesty the Emperor made Prince Fu no longer afraid?

A strange feeling came to Xue Poye's heart.

"Holy Lord, you...don't let anything happen to you!" Xue Poye prayed in his heart. If something happened to His Majesty the Assassin Emperor, Xue Poye, who had received a sudden favor, would undoubtedly be attacked by many factions. Now he

It is still fledgling and has no power to resist.

Just when his mind was spinning, he heard shopkeeper Qian calmly say: "It's a matter of loyalty and trust. This shop was handed down by the master. Naturally, I have to take good care of it. If the master wants to take it back one day,

Of course I have nothing to say, but if you want to close the shop, you need the master's orders, or you have the black ring as a token!"

"Token Black Ring" popped into Xue Poye's ears, and Xue Poye couldn't help but nodded slightly. From this point of view, the black ring in his hand was really something famous.

However, the head of the household department was a little confused: "Token? Black ring? What is it?"

Shopkeeper Qian sighed, shook his head and said with a smile: "It turns out that you don't even know the tokens, how can you talk about closing the shop?"

The head of the household department shouted: "Qian, don't play tricks with me. It seems that if I don't give you some color, you are not ready to obey? I ask you again, will you give it? Don't go to your own death."

Walk."

Shopkeeper Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head. He actually sat down on the chair next to him and said calmly: "When the master was suffering, I already knew that this day would come sooner or later. To put it bluntly, if I hand over these things, I will die faster.

What's more, I just said that if you bring a token, I will naturally give you everything you need with both hands, otherwise...hehe, I'm sorry, I can't obey your order!"

Xue Poye heard it from the side and thought to himself: "It seems that shopkeeper Qian is a guy with backbone."

What he didn't know was that as a member of Prince Yin's party, although he had no political power, once other parties gained power, they would definitely crack down on these members severely. As the saying goes, "If you cut the grass without eradicating the roots, they will grow again with the spring breeze." Regardless of whether you pose a substantial threat or not

, as long as you are an enemy, you will be suppressed, and this suppression is definitely not a blatant massacre, it will only be a very secret way to make these people gradually disappear.

Shopkeeper Qian is extremely shrewd and understands the truth very well. As long as the deed of the house is in hand, Prince Fu's people may not immediately harm themselves if they use the rat weapon. If the deed of the house is handed over, bad luck will soon follow.

The head of the household department said coldly: "I won't give up until I reach the Yellow River." As soon as he waved his hand, two officers with swords behind him immediately stepped forward to take down shopkeeper Qian.

Shopkeeper Qian stood up, took two steps back, and sneered: "Sir, what do you mean? What crime have I committed?"

"Resist the law!" the head of the Household Department said coldly.

An officer put his hand on Shopkeeper Qian's shoulder and was about to take it off. Shopkeeper Qian broke away and shouted: "What did I resist...ah...!" With a scream, an officer hit Shopkeeper Qian hard with the handle of his knife.

On the back of his head, Shopkeeper Qian screamed and fell down.

There were screams from all around, and the guests rushed out of the door one after another, while the employees were huddled together, shivering, and they were all terrified.

Xue Poye sighed. He didn't want to be the so-called hero who yells when he sees injustice, but if he doesn't step forward at this time, the situation may become uncontrollable.

In any case, this Ziyanfang is the property entrusted to him by Prince Yin, and this shopkeeper Qian can now be regarded as his subordinate. Seeing his subordinate being punished by another subordinate, Xue Poye felt in his heart

He was very unhappy, so he touched his nose with his right hand with the black ring, and said slowly: "Master Han, why are you so angry? It's wrong to beat up a merchant in broad daylight."

After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered that the head of the household department was named Han Bozun, and he was very courteous to him when he was doing the counting at the household department that day.

"Who the hell...!" Han Bozun was angry that someone was rushing to act as a knight in front of him at this moment, so he wanted to curse out loud, but before he could say anything, he saw a strange and familiar face.

.

He said he was unfamiliar because he had seen this face once, briefly. He said he was familiar because the face left such a deep impression on him.

At midnight that day, he knew that Xue Shitou, the new Minister of Household Affairs, was a very favored minister of His Majesty the Emperor, so he knelt down and showed absolute humility, and he kept this handsome face in his heart.

He never imagined that he would meet the Lord Minister in this place.

"Xue... Mr. Xue... Mr. Xue...!" The shock and panic in his heart made Han Bozun struggle to pronounce his name clearly. After all, it was not a glorious thing to do such a domineering thing under the eyes of his boss, but

Han Bozun also saw the sharpness and coldness hidden in the eyes from the smiling face of the Master.

Xue Poye shook his head, walked over slowly, helped shopkeeper Qian up from the ground, glanced at the official who hurt people, and said calmly: "Don't hit too hard, you have to give people a way to survive, right? If it were changed to

You, do you want to try such a heavy hand?"

Han Bozun blinked, stepped forward quickly, and slapped the officer more than ten times in the face. He only made the officer's mouth bleed, and then he cursed: "Who told you to hit so hard? Who?

Did you ask me to do it?"

Shopkeeper Qian frowned. He was no ordinary businessman. He quickly understood that Xue Poye must be a court official, otherwise Han Bozun would not be so frightened.

The plump girl who had thrust out her breasts to Xue Poye just now was also shocked and scared. She didn't expect that just now she was showing off her coquettishness, and she actually met a powerful character. Listening to Han Bozun calling him "Sir", it seems that this young and handsome young master is also a powerful character.

Now a high official.

After Xue Poye helped shopkeeper Qian, he put his hands behind his back. When he saw the girls huddled in the corner, he smiled and said gently: "Don't be afraid, it's just a game." He glanced at Han Bozun and sighed: "Master Han,

This is your fault. I just said not to be harsh, but you have dealt such harsh blows to your subordinates. Aren't you afraid that you will also suffer such retribution? This is nothing, it shocked the girls here.

, how can you bear it?"

When the girls heard that Xue Poye was so caring, they all looked at him gratefully.

The two Yulin guards looked at each other, their eyes full of smiles, and they thought in their hearts: "My lord is really a compassionate person. These girls, I am afraid they all have a crush on you."

After Xue Poye said this, he sat on the chair, touched the black ring on his hand, looked at Shopkeeper Qian, and said warmly: "Shopkeeper Qian, how are you? How is your health? Do you want to call a doctor?"

Shopkeeper Qian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, thank you, sir, sir...!" His eyes were suddenly attracted by Xue Poye's black ring, his whole body was shaken, his face changed drastically, and he looked at Xue Poye with great confusion.

"Sir, I came here on an errand and surprised you. I hope you will forgive me." Han Bozun walked to Xue Poye and said softly with a humble smile.

Xue Poye glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and said slowly: "The elites of the Ministry of Revenue are all sent to the state capitals of Dachu to raise donations. Mr. Han is an elite official of our Ministry of Revenue, why didn't he go out to serve the country?

?This Jiangnan is the place where I am raising donations. I guess Mr. Han is not here to raise funds, but I don’t know what business Mr. Han is here for? Logically speaking, as a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I should have some knowledge of Mr. Han’s official business.

, but I really can’t figure out what Master Han wants to do here?”

Han Bozun looked extremely embarrassed and whispered: "Xue... Mr. Xue, this... hehe... I was ordered to come to Hangzhou to handle some small things... I... hehe...!" I didn't know how to say it for a moment.

"A trivial matter?"

Whose shop is this? Could it be that Mr. Han wants to take advantage of the fire and rob him? Hehe, Mr. Han should know that the Holy Sage has ordered me to strictly manage the household department. If you do this, I will be very embarrassed. If the Holy Sage knows

, this matter...hey...Master Han, you did something stupid this time...!"

Only then did everyone around understand that this time, Master Han's relationship was like a mouse meeting a cat, a head of household affairs meeting a minister of household affairs.

It's just that the Minister of Hube is a little younger, but he is very experienced in his work. The plump girl blushed when she thought about teasing with the Minister of Hube before, but she felt a little proud in her heart. After all, the young Minister of Hube had seen her.

I have always had a little appreciation for my breasts.

When Han Bozun heard "Your Majesty," his face instantly turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me, but...actually, I came to Hangzhou this time...because I had no choice."

Xue Poye said calmly: "You are an official of the Ministry of Revenue. I have never ordered you to occupy someone's shop. I'm afraid Mr. Wang will not order you to do such a thing. Besides, whose orders do you listen to?"

"Why are you so forced? Come on, come on, tell me. If it makes sense, I will forgive you. If it doesn't make sense, don't blame me for falling out." At this point, his eyes flashed with cold light and he swept over

Han Bozun's face looked a little nervous and fearful.

Han Bozun understood that Xue Poye had unparalleled favor from His Majesty the Emperor. He was now at the height of his popularity and he could not afford to offend him, so he leaned closer and whispered: "My lord, I am here to confer the title of Fourth Highness.

I ordered you to come and collect the house deeds and land deeds of Ziyanfang in the three states of Jiangnan. This business will be handled by His Highness the Fourth Highness from now on."

Xue Poye sneered and said: "The fourth highness is responsible for it? The Holy Emperor gave all these businesses to the fourth highness?"
