Chapter 2234 The worried Cui Luoyang (please subscribe and vote)
Cui Shen stared blankly at the roof. He really couldn't understand that the assassination of His Highness King Wu had been under investigation for a long time since the emperor.
And those people who had been supporting him have relaxed and even given hints.
Cui Shen already understood that his official career was probably coming to an end.
Fortunately, these aristocratic families did not ignore me at all, and even gave me a lot of benefits.
Cui Shen originally thought that he would be where he is today because he was plotted by Cheng Sanlang and other shareholders of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Therefore, he, a local snake in Luoyang, naturally had various tricks to put the merchants of the Han and Tang Dynasties who wanted to flex their muscles into a dilemma.
After blocking the trading houses of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it also interfered with His Majesty's plan to establish the capital here. It can be regarded as a successful completion of his important task.
Now I can finally leave the position of Luoyang Ling and return to my hometown to retire in peace and contentment.
Leave this beautiful job of Luoyang Order to someone who is more suitable for it.
But in the end, no one expected that Cheng Sanlang, who was jumping up and down on the plateau and making a scene known to the world, would return to the Tang Dynasty.
It turns out that Prince Xima, who has been secretly coveted by many aristocratic families for a long time, and Luoyang Ling, these two determined missions,
His majesty, the scheming Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was directly pinned down by the notorious Cheng Sanlang.
But unfortunately, faced with such a result, faced with Cheng Sanlang who had made great achievements on the plateau and returned to the court victoriously.
Everyone was dumbfounded and speechless. Cheng Sanlang, who returned the favor with great merit, held these two positions, and no one could impeach him.
Firstly, he offended the Cheng family and they couldn't live a successful life; secondly, this boy's meritorious service was not to mention serving as the Luoyang Order. Even if he squeezed into the circle of ministers, there was no one who dared to say that he was not worthy of his position.
Moreover, His Majesty's will is very firm, which makes Cui Luoyang very painful.
After all, Cheng Sanlang and His Highness King Wu were the main culprits that caused his career to be cut off.
Now, one of them actually wants to come over and hand over the position of Luoyang Order to me. He, Cui, will only be happy if he is willing to do so.
Although he was very determined to do something difficult for Cheng Sanlang before leaving.
But she was worried that Cheng Chubi, who was not only cunning but also shameless, would find out about the problem.
If I go directly to His Majesty, can I still go back to my hometown to entertain my grandchildren?

Nowadays, what worries him most, Mr. Cui, is not thinking about cunning tricks to deal with Cheng Sanlang.
Instead, he was thinking about how to put things in order to avoid letting Cheng Sanlang turn over his old debt after he took office.
So in the past few days, Cui Shen has exhausted all his energy in order to wipe his own butt.
"Don't worry, Mingfu. I've been dealing with the situation these days. There won't be any problems in the account books."
After hearing what Zheng Zhubo said, Cui Luoyang breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little uneasy.
"How are you making up for those shortfalls?"
Master Zheng blinked, with a look of embarrassment on his face. "In the Ming Mansion, it is really difficult to make up for the shortfalls in the various treasuries in a moment of urgency."
"But you also know that in the Ming Dynasty, everyone knows who Cheng Sanlang is, and they are already making arrangements as soon as possible."
Cui Luoyang frowned with some dissatisfaction and tapped his fingers on the table.
"At this time, you are still making your own little plans. Doesn't this mean you don't want to die?"
"Tell them on my behalf that if something happens to Cui, they won't have a good time either."
How long he has been in the position of Luoyang Order, the officials below him can already be regarded as his confidants.
What's more, if you eat meat yourself, who among those guys has never tasted soup?
Let's put it this way, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. If they have problems, they can't escape either.
"Don't worry, Mingfu. Your subordinates will definitely explain it to everyone in person. I believe they also know how powerful it is."
"However, according to common practice, this kind of handover has always been just a matter of coping. Who would be so serious about it?"
"When Mingfu came to take office, his predecessor also left a mess. Mingfu was tolerant and did not care too much about his predecessor."
Hearing this flattery, Cui Shen felt very relieved, but when he thought of the person who was about to come to explain to him, it was Cheng Sanlang.
Cui Shen couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his forehead.
"I don't care about my predecessor because he has an old friendship with me, and if he is too serious, it will easily hurt the harmony between the Cui family and the Wang family."
His predecessor was born in the Langya Wang family, and he and he, who was born in the Cui family, both belonged to aristocratic families.
Naturally, he was embarrassed to care too much about his own people, not to mention that after becoming the Luoyang Order, he also took a lot of benefits from their Wang family.
"But Cheng Sanlang and his family are not kind people. How can I not be careful?"
"Yes, yes, what the Mingfu said is absolutely true. I will go and make a thorough calculation with all my colleagues."

A few days later, outside the Luoyang County Yamen, two guards guarding the gate were huddled in the sheltered corner of the gate, holding a stove to keep warm, while bragging and spanking.
The topic of conversation is naturally related to the new county magistrate Cheng Sanlang who is about to take office.
"I heard that this guy has a very bad temper and is very petty. He always wants to do something..."
"No way, Cheng Luoyang is also a great talent with both civil and military skills. How can someone who can write such masterpieces as "The Story of the Peony Pavilion in Luoyang" be like you said?"
"But then again, if you offend the Cheng family, you won't be able to survive the New Year. If this word can spread from Chang'an, it can't be false after all, right?"
"That's true, and in the past two years, the people my family has invited to come back to guard the house to ward off evil spirits have all used portraits of their family..."
"And it seems to be quite efficacious. Not to mention ghosts, even living people can be scared into cold sweats at the sight of them..."
At this moment, one of the guards suddenly widened his eyes. "Cheng Sanlang, oh no, Cheng Luoyang is here..."
Another policeman looked at his head and was a little confused for a moment.
"My dear, didn't you say you are here to hand over the hand? Why do I feel like this Cheng Luoyang is going to knock on the door..."
At this moment, Cheng Chubi, dressed in brand new official uniform, galloped in, surrounded by more than thirty people.
Some of them are from the Cheng family who are fat and strong, with ugly faces, but most of them are thin, and some of them have a treasure in their hands: an abacus.
His eyes are full of shrewdness and calculation, whether he is looking at the surrounding goods or buildings.
It seems that he would unconsciously pull the abacus in his hand a few times to calculate how much this thing should be worth.
These elite soldiers and generals were the secret weapons specially brought by Cheng Chubi, the new Luoyang magistrate, when he came to take over the affairs of the Luoyang County government.
