When Chongzhen heard this, he continued to chatter, "Brother Qin, don't say that, it seems that I am forcing you." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info As the Son of Heaven, I speak in a word, I said before that I would ask you for five million taels is five million taels, if you don't want to, it doesn't matter, I can't smash the pot and sell iron......"

These are the words over and over again.

Qin Shuhuai couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to say, "Brother Huang, I beg you to give your little brother a chance to subsidize you for some silver taels." Please, my little brother won't give you some money, and I'm uncomfortable!"

Chongzhen smiled and said, "Brother Qin is really my good brother." Well, since you have good intentions, I can't refuse it, right? In this case, I will reluctantly make it difficult for me, and I will charge you an extra five million taels. This is the bottom line, don't give too much, or I'll be really embarrassed. ”

Qin Shuhuai said in his heart, do you still know that I am sorry? The dignified emperor is like a scoundrel who blackmails the courtiers' money, and he also loses what you said.

Forget it, this money was originally intended to be given to you, how can you fight the Donglin Party if you don't give it to you?

So he said, "Brother Huang, don't worry, I know that Brother Huang is also a decent person, and I am embarrassed to ask for more for you." Just 10 million taels, a word is a certainty. ”

"A word is a certainty!" Chongzhen said happily.

After the money matter was settled, Chongzhen's mind returned to the present, and he asked again, "Brother Qin, is the Tianjin Dao case closed here?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "Let him confess who the top person is first, and then escort him to the capital, and let the three divisions interrogate him." ”

Chongzhen was puzzled, "Since you don't plan to pursue the six ministries and the important ministers of the cabinet, why do you want him to confess?"

Qin Shuhuai smiled sinisterly, "The emperor knew about the boss behind Tianjin Dao, but he didn't dare to investigate, and it didn't take long for him to add them to the rank of knight, and those Donglin Party people didn't celebrate with their crowns?"

Chongzhen also laughed yin, "If you want to take the lead, suppress first and then raise, Brother Qin is calculating." ”

It was already dawn, and Chongzhen and Qin Shuhuai, who had stayed up all night, were already hungry, so after explaining to Meng Wei and others, the two went out for breakfast.

After eating breakfast at a roadside stall, Chongzhen looked at the passers-by on the street, and said with a sense of loss, "Brother Qin, I'm going back." ”

Qin Shuhuai knew that it was not easy for Chongzhen to come out for so many days, so he said, "It's really time to go back, there are still a lot of things waiting for you to deal with at home." ”

"Brother Qin, fighting with others is really cool, and it's very enjoyable. ”

"Uh...... That's when you hit someone, and if someone else hits you, it's hard to say. ”

"Yes. And that willow smoke girl, you must go and see it for me when you go back, and come back and tell me what she looks like and what kind of style she is. ”

“...... Well, I'll check it out when I have time. ”

"Brother Qin, it's the tenth day of December now, and the New Year will be in a few days. You and your younger siblings are newly married, Yan'er, let's go home for the first year. ”

"I'm going to Jiangnan, I'm afraid I won't have time to go back. ”

"Can't you go back after the New Year?"

"After the New Year, I have to go to the three sides. Brother Huang, it's not that we're in a hurry now, it's time to catch up with us......"

Chongzhen's eyes were slightly red, "Brother Qin, I'm ...... I owe you so much, but I can't repay it. ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly, "Making the family live better is the best reward." ”

Chongzhen nodded, looked at everything in front of him reluctantly, and suddenly said, "Brother Qin, how about I go with you on the trip? ”

"Brother Huang, I know you like to be outside, but you can't always have no one at home. In the past few days since you came out, things at home have piled up, and I'm afraid it's enough for you to stay up all night for several days. If you go to the three sides, it will be farther, and there is no month that you can't go home. ”

"I'm not afraid of staying up late! Besides, a month is not a long time, and we will catch up with the progress then, maybe twenty days will be enough." ”

"Brother Huang...... Family matters are important!"

The excitement that unconsciously overflowed Chongzhen's face froze suddenly, and he fell into silence in an instant.

"Brother Huang, we can't help ourselves......"

"I see...... Then Brother Qin must be more careful when he goes out, don't let me be anxious. If you need anything along the way, just let me know. ”

"Good. ”

Leaving the breakfast stall, the visitor returned to Daotai Mansion. At this time, Chen Qisheng had been tortured by Li Jingting and passed out unconsciously. Li Jingting took two pieces of paper to Chongzhen, one was for Chen Qisheng to confess that he had embezzled and accepted bribes, and the other was a list of those who confessed to him for bribes. Judging from the paper, in addition to the people in the Ministry of Industry, five of the six ministries from Shilang to Shangshu all accepted bribes from him, and half of the cabinet was "filial piety" by him, in addition, Dongchang and Jinyiwei also had some people, but Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing had not yet been involved.

Chongzhen put the list in his sleeve, returned another confession to Li Jingting, and said in a low tone, "Escort him to the capital, and then the three divisions will interrogate...... Don't mention the list, just know it yourself. ”

After explaining these things, Chongzhen set off for Beijing. Before returning to Beijing, he specially wrote a secret decree to Qin Shuhuai, saying that he was patrolling Jiangnan on behalf of the heavens, and seeing the secret decree was like seeing the emperor, and the local government needed to vigorously assist Yunyun in case he needed it from time to time.

The two said goodbye, and Chongzhen reluctantly told Qin Shuhuai for a long time, lest he have some accidents. In the end, he even wanted to give Qin Shuhuai the four inner guards around him, saying that it was enough for him to have so many brocade guards to escort him back to Beijing, but Qin Shuhuai politely refused.

After Chongzhen went back, Qin Shuhuai took Lao Dao, Hua Shen and Meng Wei to prepare to go to the dock, and then took a boat to Jiangnan.

Before he reached the dock, he was stopped by a pretty maid on the way. Qin Shuhuai fixed his eyes and saw that it was one of the two maids who served Miss Liu Yan in the Drunken Flower Building that day.

"Is Qin Gongzi going out on a long journey?" the maid asked with a smile.

"That's right, the girl has something to do with me?" Qin Shuhuai asked.

"Childe's literary talent is first-class, our girl admires it very much, and I was sent to invite Childe back to the Drunken Flower Building, I wonder if Childe is willing to appreciate the light?"

Qin Shuhuai naturally didn't believe that his poem could make Miss Liuyan so fascinated by him, but he was even more curious in his heart: a woman in a green mansion who didn't know him, why did she have to see herself? What is the origin of this girl Liuyan?

Meng Wei said to Qin Shuhuai, "Helper, be careful of deception. I heard that Houjin transferred a group of masters from outside the Guan, and wanted to unite with the Northern Beggars to get rid of you. ”

Hua Shen also said softly, "I have also heard, it is said that it is the leader of the great shaman of the Jin Kingdom, and this great shaman can do evil magic, and it is very tight." ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled faintly, "The beauty has an appointment, how can there be any reason not to go?" This sister, please." ”
