Chapter 440 This is too embarrassing!

Chapter 440 This is too cowardly!

"This! The people from the Ministry of Revenue are too overbearing! My master has not offended them, so why are you targeting my Qian family!"

Mrs. Qian was anxious.

Mr. Qian said in a deep voice: "Madam, don't panic. The people from the Ministry of Revenue invited me over. It's probably related to the food in the granary. It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince keeps a close eye on the granary!"

"If my estimate is correct, our Qian family will not encounter too big a disaster this time. We only need to give up some money to get through it!"

"If we are obedient enough, we will get more benefits in the future, okay! Now go and prepare a generous gift for me, and I will take it to Fengyuan Building!"

After all, Mr. Qian is a man who has seen the world, and with the strength of the Qian family, it is not difficult to compete for the top of the three major families in Chizhou Prefecture.

But he has been enduring it, preferring to be fourth rather than compete, because he has great wisdom. Those who stand out are easily beaten, while those who hide in the middle are safer.

"Master, our Qian family's money is all earned through your hard work. Could it be that..."

Mrs. Qian was still reluctant to give up.

"Haha! Madam, our Qian family's money is indeed from my hard work, but don't you still know how most of it comes from?"

"Don't worry, sir, I never do business at a loss. Even if the people in the household department make a profit this time, sir, I can still make money back."

Master Qian said with a smile.

Mrs. Qian could only obey Master Qian's instructions and prepare gifts. At noon, Master Qian took the gifts and got on the sedan chair to Fengyuan Tower.

At this time, only officials from the Ministry of Revenue were sitting in Fengyuan Building, and none of the nobles from the Chizhou Prefecture arrived.

"Master Ni, the aristocrats of this Chizhou Prefecture are really bastards. You invited them to dinner in person, but they dare not come!"

"Hmph! It's been this long, and not a single aristocratic family has arrived. It seems they are determined to do something right with us. Do you really think we don't dare to kill them?"

"The people in our household department are not easy to mess with. Sir, we will check their account books now. If we find anything fishy, ​​we will confiscate the family and exterminate the entire family!"



All the officials from the Ministry of Revenue were angry, but Ni Yuanlu still sat there calmly.

"Everyone, why are you in such a hurry?

When we ask them to come, we are asking for their money and food. If they hesitate, that is normal!"

"So, as long as they can come eventually, I don't care how or when they come."

Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.

"Sir, you are too kind..."

All the officials in the Ministry of Revenue were anxious.

Just when the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were angry, Master Qian arrived with gifts. Naturally, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue had a bad look when they saw Mr. Qian.

"Haha! My lords, I have Duoduo Qian, the head of the Qian family. I heard that Master Ni was going to hold a banquet at Fengyuan Building, so I rushed back here. I guess I didn't waste any time..."

Qian Duoduo said with a smile.

He saw that there were only officials from the Ministry of Revenue here, but not a single nobleman from the city's aristocratic families had arrived, and he felt very happy. This time, he was at the right place!

If this place were full of nobles from aristocratic families, even if he was the first aristocratic family in Chizhou Prefecture, he would not be taken seriously. But now that he is the only one here, he can be known to all the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"How much money?

Haha! It seems you have a lot of money!"

An official from the Ministry of Revenue said with a smile.

Ha ha!

Immediately afterwards, all the household officials present laughed. This was the first time they had seen such a person take the initiative to expose his wealth.

Qian Duoduo also laughed and said: "Sir, I do have a lot of money, but it is all the result of my own hard work."

Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice: "You have a lot of money, right? Come and sit down. If you are a legal businessman, we will not make things difficult for you!"

Qian Duoduo nodded, came to Ni Yuanlu's side, and said: "Master Ni, Qian also brought some gifts. Although they are not very valuable, they are a little thoughtful. Please accept them, Master Ni."

With that said, Qian Duoduo delivered a square box in front of Ni Yuanlu. Ni Yuanlu didn't open it and just put it aside.

He said in a deep voice: "With a lot of money, we want to ask you, did you buy the grain in the granary?"

Ni Yuanlu asked this question very directly. In fact, he would ask the noble family who entered here today very directly.

As long as these people deny it, he can take the opportunity to attack. However, Qian Duoduo rolled his eyes and said directly: "Haha! Mr. Ni, I did buy some food in this granary!"

"But I swear, I didn't know it was not allowed to buy at first. When I went back, I counted how much I bought and returned them all."

kindness!

At this moment, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were stunned. Why didn't Qian Duoduo play his cards according to the routine?

You answered whatever was asked, and you admitted it directly!

"About how much did you buy?"

Ni Yuanlu looked at Qian Duoduo and asked.

this……

Qian Duoduo looked at Ni Yuanlu and then at the Ministry of Household Officials present. If he said too much about this number, he would definitely be blackmailed.

If he said less, these people would be dissatisfied. He thought about it and said in a deep voice: "I didn't buy as much as the other three, and the total was less than ten tons."

"Yeah! Ten tons! That's a lot of money, how brave you are! That's the food of the imperial court, how dare you buy and sell it at will?"

An official from the Ministry of Household Affairs scolded directly.

Qian Duoduo immediately stood up, knelt on the ground, and said: "Oh! Sir, I am forced to have no choice. If Chi wants money early, he will sell us food. We can't even take it!"



The officials of the Ministry of Revenue were speechless. This amount of money was really too cowardly. He didn't refute anything they said, he just knelt down and admitted his mistake!

The more he behaves like this, the more difficult it becomes for them to attack. Ni Yuanlu also frowns. It seems that it is impossible to get more food from Qian Duoduo.

"It's a lot of money, please get up. I can't blame you for this matter, but after all, you also bought the food in the granary."

"If we don't punish you, it will be difficult for us to deal with those people behind. So, you can return double the food."

Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.

What!

Double the food!

Qian Duoduo was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Ni Yuanlu would let him go back for more, but it would only be about fifteen tons at most. This is a direct double, which is a bit too much!

However, thinking of the importance of saving his life, Qian Duoduo gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Master Ni. I will collect these twenty tons of grain as soon as possible and send it to the granary."

"Well! You have a lot of money, and you are a sensible person. In this case, I might as well show you a way to make a fortune."

Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
