Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Chapter 549: Cheng’s weapons are on full fire
In Cheng Yiyi's eyes, unless it is a very rare item, it is better to exchange it for money.

Cheng Xiaosi also meant the same thing. Maybe it was because she had a reputation for being rich and many people gave her gifts, but no outsider had ever given her money. She didn't know what to do with those items.
"Just do what my big brother says."

Ji Feng handed over and went about his business.

When Yuan Su came back in the evening, Cheng Xiaosi told him what happened today. First of all, Yuan Xin, Yuan Su was helpless about this matter. He said that his second uncle looked fierce, but in fact he was very simple and was no match for the princess, " He can do whatever he likes, and the princess is indeed a bit radical, probably because she doesn't have much time."

"You should worry less. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Cheng Xiaosi shook his head, "Everywhere is comfortable, and this child is also a good boy."

Yuan Su helped her sit down, "I've been busy these days, and I can't pay attention to things at home. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's hard work. There are so many people on duty, and I'm just talking about it, but it's you. How about it?"

Yuan Su was a playboy before, but after he entered the court, Cheng Daqi always gave him advice. He had never experienced anything too difficult, but the errands he was doing now were a big challenge for him.

Yuan Su smiled and said: "I'm lucky. With Yuen Long and the others as helpers, and Mr. Cao giving me advice, it's not too difficult except for being a little tired. I have to say that Mr. Cao is indeed capable. I've learned a lot from him these days. He He is also greedy. He allowed Mrs. Cao to be very greedy before, but he does have the people in his heart. Although the work is not absolutely fair, it is more for the emperor and the people. "

"I guess Lord Cao will make big moves after Wang Hui and others are escorted to Beijing. The people who were guarding because of the breach of the embankment have not yet recovered. They did not take care of it due to Wang Hui's power before, but The situation has been fully figured out, and we have a plan for how to provide assistance, and we are just waiting to implement it.”

He lowered his voice again and said, "Wang Hui and Qi Changbo have been captured. The next step will definitely be to ransack their homes. Mr. Cao will definitely keep part of the money gained from the raids, but it shouldn't be enough. I'm afraid we will have to take out the benefits we received from each family before." ”

Cheng Xiaosi said: "I have no use for those things. The registration books are kept together separately. In the past few days, there have been many people who want to come to seek asylum and have sent a lot of things. Mrs. Cao means that she will not The officials here uprooted everything and let me take it as long as I can.”

Yuan Su also asked her to accept it. Not only that, but it would be best to ask for it, "How can I do something that I want to save my life? No matter whether it succeeds or not, it doesn't matter."

Cheng Xiaosi looked at her. To be honest, she had never asked for anything from the people below. She had only passively accepted gifts. She then told Yuan Su what her brother told her today. Yuan Su smiled and said, "That's true." When it comes to business, I'm not as good as my uncle."

"Those officials, why don't you just do the same thing?"

Cheng Xiaosi took a deep breath and said, "That's okay."

Yuan Xin suppressed his smile and said, "I'm embarrassing you."

"Don't be embarrassed. If something happens, you can handle it."

Ji Feng acted quickly. With Xiao Chengli's help, the news of Cheng Yi's arrival quickly spread. On that day, a steward from a merchant family came to Ji Feng with a gift. Ji Feng was embarrassed while not rejecting anyone who came, and gave him He raised his net worth and let his little brother speak, "Apart from my wife, my steward is the person that my family trusts the most. That's how many years of friendship it is. As long as my steward speaks, my family rarely refuses." ”

"Even Uncle Shunyi's eldest uncle has to give some face. If you come to my housekeeper to ask for help, you have found the right person." Ji Feng smiled and said nothing, as if I am just so capable, Hu's housekeeper He was stunned for a while.

There were many things in common among the stewards of each house. It didn't take long for Ji Feng's name to be heard in the steward circle. Everyone knew one thing. If they wanted to ask Yuan to participate in politics, they should first ask Ji Feng to take charge.

Especially the first batch of people who gave gifts to Jifeng successfully met Cheng Yiyi, and the gifts from each family came to Jifeng like a flood, making Jifeng laugh in his dreams, and even woke up Huahua. It took a few punches to stop.

Cheng Xiaosi also became busy. The person who bribed Ji Feng successfully met Cheng Xiaosi. They were all official family members. Each of these official family members looked haggard and were very generous. They just wanted to be part of the liquidation this time. To protect himself, Cheng Xiaosi already had the list sent by Mrs. Cao, and the two of them exchanged words.

"I heard from my lord that the lord who came from the capital originally wanted to uproot everyone related to Qi Changbo and Governor Wang, but my lord also said that errands still need people to run them, and they can't be piled up, right?"

The official family members sitting under her nodded repeatedly and said a lot of good things. Cheng Xiaosi said: "I will talk to my adults about your adults' matters, and those who can help will naturally try their best to help."

The officials and family members hurriedly stood up to express their thanks, and then left with anxious and expectant hearts.

Cheng Xiaosi asked Nanny Fang to count the banknotes and register them in a register. A fifth-grade official could get away with ten thousand taels of silver, which shows how greedy these officials are.

"It's all people's fat and people's anointing, hey."

For several days in a row, Cheng Xiaosi sat in the mansion collecting money. As he collected more and more money, his mood became heavier and heavier. Every night when talking to Yuan Su about the events of that day, he would sigh for a long time, "Master Cao said this." How do I use the money?"

Yuan Su shook his head. The money was more than he and Lord Cao expected. "Rebuilding the dam is the top priority."

There is no airtight wall in the world. Madam Cao and Cheng Xiaosi's wanton collection of benefits from officials was brought to the capital by someone unknown. With King Rongxiang in front of them, the censors were excited again. In the court, Lord Cao and Yuan Su After participating again and again, Cheng Daqi couldn't listen any more. He fought with several censors in the court for the first time. He rolled up his sleeves and cursed, "What censor heard about something? I think it's just a random fabrication." Aren’t you worried that the emperor will think that you are getting your salary from the imperial court for nothing, and if you don’t open your eyes and talk a few words every day, you will feel that you have done nothing today?”

"This is an easy job for you. I think you should stop being errands. If you go to the teahouse to listen for half a day every day, half the people in the capital will be listened to by you the next day."

"There are no gossips like you in the market, and you punish them severely. Why don't you punish your son for visiting a brothel?"

Censors are always meant to offend people, and many people in the court have been affected by them. With Cheng Daqi in front, the courtiers are full of firepower, and they want to make several censors hit the pillars on the spot.

As a result, one of the old censors was carried out and fainted on the spot.

Afterwards, the emperor didn't say a harsh word to Cheng Daqi. Instead, he gave instructions to several censors at the morning meeting the next day, asking them to have evidence when speaking in the future. This was just because Cao Gehai had reported the matter to the emperor in advance. Rebuilding the dam would require money. Yes, he found a way to collect the money on his own, without him, the emperor, paying a penny. This matter was originally worthy of praise. If he was still severely punished, who would be willing to do things with care in the future?

Why would you ask him, the emperor, for money for such a big deal?
