Wende upstairs.
Xiang Minzhong dozed off in his seat.
Liu Heng quietly approached Kou Ji and said excitedly: "Fourth brother, we...we have made a lot of money!"
When Kou Ji heard this, he put down the book in his hand and asked, "Have those people related to the Taoist been arrested?"
Liu Heng was stunned, "How did you know?"
Kou Ji curled his lips and said: "If they are not caught, how can we make money?"
Liu Heng's eyes widened and he said excitedly: "You knew those people were going to be arrested, so you asked me to buy the shop from them at a low price?"
Kou Ji nodded slowly.
Liu Heng tugged on Kou Ji's sleeve and said excitedly: "I knew it, I knew the fourth brother's move had deep meaning. Our profit this time has almost caught up with the money we got from Wu Xian."
."
Kou Ji glanced at him and said calmly: "Don't be too happy yet. After you go out today, immediately take back those shops and properties and change them to your name. Then throw those shops and properties away.
"
Liu Heng said blankly: "The owner of the shop was arrested for treason. They will definitely not be able to pay back the money after it is due. It won't be too late for us to take over the shop then."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said: "Rebellion is a capital crime. If those people are caught, they will definitely die. I don't deny this. But the property in their names will definitely be confiscated into the treasury.
If those shops and fields really went into the treasury, can you still get them out of the treasury?
Now those people have just been arrested, and their house deeds and land deeds are still in our hands.
With the government in their hands, they naturally gained nothing.
We took the opportunity to clean up the shop, but those careless stewards and clerks would not dare to stop us.
By the time the government found out, we had already sold the shop and got money.
With your background and mine, how can the government force us to get money to buy back the shop and redeem it for them?
In the end, this matter will be over.
Only then will we truly make money."
Liu Heng gave a thumbs up to Kou Ji, "Fourth brother is still wise. I almost forgot about this. I will do it after I get out."
Kou Ji nodded and asked: "What other developments have been happening in Bianjing recently?"
Liu Heng was stunned for a moment and said solemnly: "Something big happened, related to the Kou government."
Kou Ji raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Liu Heng said: "The officials believed the slander of those Taoists in the palace and wanted to be granted the title of Imperial Master. Instead of stopping this matter, your grandfather even stepped forward to preside over it.
Nowadays, rumors are spreading in Bianjing City. Some people say that your grandfather is imitating Ding Wei and intends to become a traitor.
I heard that the imperial court has issued the Di Bao and distributed it to every state capital.
Recruit Taoist officials canonized by various states to go to Bianjing City to observe the ceremony.
It won’t be long before everyone in the world will know about your grandfather’s canonization of the state.”
Kou Ji frowned and sighed: "My grandfather is bringing bad names for the officials..."
Liu Heng was stunned, "There are other purposes for conferring the title of Imperial Master? Fourth brother, you don't intend to bring order to chaos, do you?"
Kou Ji shook his head, "Don't ask about the canonization of the Imperial Guard. Just pretend that you don't know. When the truth comes out, the people of the world will naturally give justice to my grandfather. If I intervene to clear my grandfather's name, I will ruin the officialdom."
The family's plan will not end well if it offends the officials.
The official family is now a man-eating dragon!"
Liu Heng nodded heavily.
"How did the Taoists react? People close to them were arrested, but they didn't react?"
Koji asked.
Liu Heng shook his head, "The official's crime for those people was treason. Those who were directly arrested by the Imperial City Division did not reveal much information. Even if those Taoists had doubts in their hearts, they would not think too deeply about it.
The officials also issued a decree to confer the title of Imperial Master. The Taoists had already been dazzled by the news and had no time to delve into other matters.
Now they are busy working on all kinds of miracles and miracles."
Kou Ji asked again, "Where is Ding Wei?"
Liu Hengdao: "Since the officialdom was restored to power, Ding Wei has been staying by the official family's side and helping them handle government affairs."
Liu Heng paused, glanced at Kou Ji, and said with a wry smile: "Now people in Bianjing City are spreading rumors that your grandfather and Ding Wei have had their souls changed. Loyal ministers have become traitors, and traitors have become loyal ministers."
Kou Ji shook his head and muttered: "It's nonsense... No wonder so many people have impeached Ding Wei for so many years, but he can still be proud of the court. He has figured out the official temperament..."
Liu Heng was stunned and asked: "How?"
Kou Ji looked at Liu Heng and whispered: "Ding Wei probably smelled the danger from the actions of the officials, so he took the initiative to stay with the officials and help them handle government affairs.
In this way, even if he makes a mistake, as long as it is not a big mistake, the officials will spare his life for the sake of his respect and diligence."
Liu Heng was stunned and said in surprise: "If you didn't tell me, I hadn't thought of it. But if you said it, I would have thought of it. In the past few years, whenever Ding Wei was involved in something that violated the law, he would always follow the officials.
Nothing happened to him."
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "It's just to win sympathy... This time it's all up. If he is really involved too deeply, the officials won't keep him."
Liu Heng finally couldn't help his curiosity and asked, "What happened?"
Kou Ji shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I will tell you word for word in the future, but you must not pry now. If something goes wrong, no one can protect you."
Liu Heng lowered his head in frustration.
Immediately, he thought that he had made a lot of money through this, and he raised his head excitedly and said: "No matter what, as long as our brothers can make money."
Kou Ji smiled and nodded.
"Ahem..."
Xiang Minzhong woke up and coughed twice.
Liu Heng quickly returned to his seat and sat down.
Xiang Minzhong stretched his muscles and told them another passage from a saint, then rolled up his sleeves and left.
Kou Ji and others also dispersed.
Cao Yi walked at the end and specifically called Kou Ji and whispered, "My fourth uncle has returned to Bianjing City, but he did not go back to his hometown. Instead, he went directly to the military camp outside the city."
Cao Ji left without waiting for Kou Ji to ask questions.
Kou Ji thought about Cao Yi's words and went down to Wende Building and bumped into Chen Lin again.
Chen Lin walked over, pulled Kou Ji aside, and whispered: "Boy, during this period of time, don't run around, let alone leave the East Palace. Especially the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, you absolutely can't go."
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, curled his lips and said, "You don't let me leave the East Palace on weekdays! What's the purpose of suddenly telling me this?"
Chen Lin snorted coldly: "You are an unruly boy. We are here to remind you, lest you get hot-headed, leave the East Palace without permission, and end up dead."
Kou Ji clicked his lips.
Chen Lin ignored him, met Zhao Yiyi, and left Wende Building with Zhao Yiyi.
Today Zhao Yiyi is going to Yanfu Palace to accompany Zhao Heng and Liu E to have dinner together, so we can't miss the time.
Kou Ji looked at the backs of everyone leaving, and suddenly felt like a storm was about to come.
