The onlookers were obviously dissatisfied with the explanation of the shopkeeper Xu, and they coaxed one after another, and some people even surrounded Zheng Peng, asking Zheng Peng to be the master for them, but fortunately, Cui Yuan and Guo Ketang's guards were effective, blocking those unwilling people, for fear that they would be unfavorable to their masters.

Guo Ketang pouted and said: "This is the human heart, everyone is afraid of risks, when the opportunity is sent to them, they are timid and afraid, seeing the opportunity slip away, the benefits are not reaped, and they feel unwilling, which is really ridiculous." ”

"A group of rat-eyed people, you don't have to talk to them, if you dare to scold, the old man will let them walk around one by one." Cui Yuan said with a cold face.

But it's just a few million, the son-in-law of the Boling Cui family, is still a little bit of money? Dealing with these people is a matter of one sentence for Cui Yuan.

Zheng Peng thought about it, beckoned to the dilemma of shopkeeper Xu, motioned for him to come over, and whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, Shopkeeper Xu said with some doubts: "Young master, there are only more than 30,000 of those certificates, which is not enough, even if you want to make them now, it is too late, and the special batch of paper is almost used up." ”

"Stupid, the rules are dead, people are alive" Zheng Peng said angrily: "The two largest exchange accounts are their own people, I just don't give them vouchers, you can get it in one sentence, don't worry about the vouchers of my eldest father and Miss Guo, all the remaining vouchers will be exchanged, so let's do it, each person is limited to no more than 30,000 yuan per exchange, spread some evenly, go." ”

With only two percent interest a year, Zheng Peng is really not afraid of borrowing, with his own ability and brains, investing nothing is more than this return, anyway, he is in a hurry to use the money now, and it is better to raise more.

Shopkeeper Xu answered, quickly walked in front of the person to exchange, and loudly announced the new decision, which immediately caused a cheer, and one by one rushed to line up for exchange.

Zheng Peng made a gesture of please to Cui Yuan and Guo Ketang, inviting the two to talk on the second floor.

Guo Ketang politely refused: "There is still a little matter over there in Jingzhao Mansion, it seems that there is a result, I want to help, let's talk slowly, and say goodbye." ”

"Okay, I'll have someone send you the voucher in a moment." Zheng Peng did not keep it.

It can be seen that Guo Ketang is leaving space for himself and Cui Yuan, and with the relationship between the two, there is no need to be polite.

After sending Guo Ketang away, Zheng Peng and Cui Yuan went to the second floor together, and soon someone brought hot tea and pastries.

Taking a sip of tea, Cui Yuan said with some emotion: "When I first started building the road, the old man thought that the decision you made with a hot brain would soon be difficult and retreat, but I didn't expect that the determination was so big, and I even came up with a way to raise funds." ”

After a pause, Cui Yuan sighed and said: "The old man admires you a little, even the emperor's money you dare to think about, you can borrow money from the emperor's private treasury, you can be regarded as the number one." ”

Getting the emperor's trust is already very remarkable, Zheng Peng actually dared to ask the emperor for money, and he could also ask the emperor to lend him three million yuan from the private treasury, this relationship is not only described as the harmony between the monarch and the minister, Cui Yuan is happy and admired.

If you were yourself, you would never dare to speak.

Zheng Peng smiled indifferently and said with some persistence: "I never give up halfway in doing things, otherwise I wouldn't have come so far." ”

With persistence and confidence in his tone, Cui Yuan nodded with some emotion when he heard this.

Indeed, Zheng Peng has encountered many difficulties, and he has survived every time with his head held high, the beginning and the biggest difficulty was set up by Cui Yuan, at that time, Cui Yuan used the strongest means and the most direct actions to keep Zheng Peng away from Lushu, at that time Cui Yuan was at the peak of his life, and Zheng Peng was still an existence like a mosquito, however, it was this "ant" who did not admit defeat, but through his own efforts, he can now talk to Cui Yuan on an equal footing.

Looking back, I also feel that the world is bizarre.

Zheng Peng didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, so he changed the topic and said: "I heard Miss Guo just now that the braised botulinium poisoning case seems to have an eyebrow, and the emperor only gave a seven-day deadline, and the calculation deadline is almost up, the eldest father is well-informed, do you know what's going on?" ”

Cui Yuan is a veteran of bad people, and Zhu Yuanfang, who is in charge of investigating the two cases, was trained by Cui Yuan, and he must know a lot of insiders.

There are many injustices in the world, Zheng Peng thinks that he is not a saint, more things are better than less, just don't implicate yourself and don't trouble yourself.

Cui Yuan looked left and right, Zheng Peng understood, waved his hand, and retreated the whole screen.

After all the subordinates retreated, Cui Yuan said with some disdain: "Two cases, one has become a headless public case, and the other has become unresolved." ”

"Please explain a little more clearly, Father."

"Let's talk about the braised meat case first, it's actually quite simple, that is, the Guixiang Guo family is jealous of the opponent, that is, your second sister-in-law Guo Ketang's business is doing well, so he sent someone to secretly drug some braised meat, all of which were secretly taken advantage of people's inattention, that is, some dizzy and diarrheal medicines, and they didn't dare to make a big fuss, and the matter was clear, and people were also in a nest, but the dead people at the end, those people were all black, and in order to keep it secret, they all committed suicide by taking poison."

Zheng Peng said with some doubts: "With the ability of Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Department, can't you find out who is behind them?" ”

"Of course, it was found out that those people were all from the Guo family in Guixiang, but they were not only domestic slaves, but also black slaves, even if they knew that they were from the Guo family in Guixiang, there was no evidence, so it became a headless public case."

Domestic slaves are the descendants of slaves in the family, many domestic slaves are instilled with the idea of loyalty to their masters as soon as they are born, for them, except for the orders of the master, others ignore them, the black slaves that Cui Yuan said are not slaves whose skin is black, but those who have not been registered with the government to make a register, from the meaning of the law, they are black households, and life and death are only known by their masters.

Many large households have blacks, some to save the cost of registering, and some to have some ulterior purposes.

Zheng Peng had long listed Guixiang Guo as the biggest suspect in the braised meat case, and he was not surprised by this result, and soon asked: "What about the attack on the prince's mansion?" What to find? ”

"This case is a bit complicated, to put it simply, the gunpowder was transported from Tubo, the suspect was removed from a dud bomb that did not explode, there were indeed people in the prince's mansion who rebelled, but I never expected that the person who seduced the traitor, the commander behind the scenes turned out to be the prince's cronies, Yuan Fang came to the final conclusion that the prince knew the shortcomings of his own personal defense of everyone, and then used these shortcomings to lure that person to defect, and then married to others, this person is you, but your importance is too high, the emperor sent many people to protect you secretly, and these people who protect you, Instead, you become the one who proves your innocence. ”

After a pause, Cui Yuan continued in a calm voice: "Presumably, the prince also knows that it is difficult to blame you, so his real purpose is to pull you into the water, for this reason, even Yang Chongli, an old immortal, is dispatched, even if they are lucky, they succeeded, although they did not degrade their official positions, but they also stopped the upward momentum, no matter what, the more people are involved in this case, and a lot of the evidence also deliberately points to many powerful people, even Concubine Wu Hui in the harem has not been spared, it is obvious that there are high-ranking people who are doing the game, and they want to completely confuse this pool of water, and then fish in troubled waters, the time limit is short, The involvement is big, there is a bureau within a bureau, and whoever investigates and dies in this kind of case can only be stopped. ”

Zheng Peng was dumbfounded when he heard it, this struggle is too complicated and cruel, in order to achieve the goal, he secretly bought his own people, and then used the attack to make a fuss, constantly dragging people into the water, there is a kind of meaning that there are jujube and no jujube first poke a few rods, gunpowder is made by himself, but the management is extremely strict, in this case, the prince can still get it, it can be seen that it has been secretly deployed for a long time, and it has been hidden and not released, and it has not been launched until now, which shows the depth of the plan.

"Such a secret thing can also be checked, this Zhu Yuanfang is really powerful." Zheng Peng said with some sighs.

was suspended, Zheng Peng was not resentful at all, but was a little glad that he could concentrate on doing what he wanted to do, Zhu Yuanfang was able to find so much in such a short period of time, he was simply a detective.

"Behind Zhu Yuanfang, there are countless secret agents, secret agents and meticulous works, don't look at the surface of Chang'an officialdom is harmonious, in fact, you have me, I have you, if there is no backer, no means, a few can sit firmly" Speaking of this, Cui Yuan said with a serious face: "Of course, talent is also a very good talisman, if it weren't for the old man and the emperor to protect you, you would have been devoured to the point that there would be no scum left." ”
