Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Chapter 70 The road to success is blocked

Hearing that it was a gift to himself, the emperor immediately understood what Cheng Daqi meant. He carefully looked at the complaint written by the victim and the specific circumstances of the defendant, focusing on the approximate family assets of the defendant.

Cheng Daqi also added, "Governor Qiu has always been an official in the capital. The people call him Qiu Papi. Even mosquitoes can squeeze out two ounces of oil. Wherever he goes, local officials and squires Merchants must prepare high standards to welcome them. Good wine and good food are the basics, and they must also have rare antiques, gold and silver, capital stock, calligraphy and painting, etc.”

"Not only himself, but his wife and children are also used to extravagance. Every time he goes to a local jewelry shop or cloth shop, he has to send the best jewelry and cloth in the shop for selection, and never pays any money. Even the slaves below are very arrogant."

"Because he earns so much, he is willing to take care of the people above him. In recent years, his position as governor has been very stable. It is said that he would not want to stay in Beijing if he had the opportunity, and he just likes to work abroad."

"Governor Qiu's house in the capital is renovated every year. There are several warehouses specially used for storing silver and treasures. In addition, Mr. Cao did not hesitate to give in. He spent 30 taels for the beauty's smile. The beauty made a gorgeous dress woven with gold threads and inlaid with various treasures. Even the shoes under the beauty's feet were inlaid with many treasures. Birds only eat the little bird tongue, and even when eating fish, they only eat the small piece on the cheek that is as big as a fingernail."

These two people were chosen by the Cheng family brothers. Their official positions were not too high, and they were greedy enough. They expected that the emperor would be satisfied, mainly because they were too greedy. When they learned the news They also took three breaths of cold air, even if they were as wealthy as they could not imagine the extravagance of the two of them.

The emperor's face was livid with anger. He, a king of a country, would not dare to be so extravagant. How could two fourth-rank officials be so vicious?

Cheng Daqi was not afraid of the emperor's anger, and praised the effect of the emperor's previous departure from the palace. "The merchants were filled with gratitude when they learned that the emperor was thinking about him. Although they envied the merchants in Dongshu, they also believed that with the emperor's presence, they would sooner or later." Those merchants that surpass Dongshu have this confidence."

"But, Your Majesty, there are too many obstacles in front of us."

Speaking of inheriting the difficulties encountered by the merchants, after half a month of sorting out and summarizing, and searching through various government orders, the remaining problems were placed in front of the emperor.

The emperor understood what Cheng Daqi meant. He felt much better after taking a sip of tea down his throat. He could use these two people to clear the way to rectify the unhealthy trends in the Xijin shopping mall, rectify the collusion between government and businessmen, and smooth the way for the subsequent development of merchants. At the same time, he copied these two Home means that he will make a lot of money in a short period of time.

But this is far from enough.

Cheng Daqi said again at this time, "To be honest with the emperor, Wei Chen's father-in-law used to be a bandit. According to him, there are only a small number of real bandits who can be easily recruited, but some are raised by officials and specially serve as officials." Master, these bandits are rich in money and food, and they are the ones who have made great achievements in politics. If they are a disaster, in addition to bringing convenience and security to the people, it is also a kind of income."

The emperor looked deeply at Cheng Daqi, with approval in his eyes, "Your father-in-law is in the capital?"

"Not here, but Wei Chen's wife has sent news to the family. I believe she will be here soon."

The emperor smiled and said, "When your father-in-law comes, take him into the palace. I have some errands to arrange for him."

The emperor felt relieved when he thought that there was so much money and food waiting for him to earn. "Let the merchant you arranged go to the Yamen to file a complaint. I will arrange for someone to handle the rest."

"Someone, go tell General Maverick to come."

The professionals who steal homes are all about to take the field, is there anything else you can say?

The emperor couldn't wait to take action, and his satisfaction with Cheng Daqi reached its peak.

Cheng Daqi came out of the palace as if nothing had happened. After leaving the palace, he got on the carriage and was about to return home. As soon as the carriage entered the street, a man rushed out and blocked the way. The person who came was none other than You Qinglian. .Zhang Yuewu has not seen Cheng Daqi's family for a long time. The people she sent out could not get into Cheng Daqi's body and could not deliver the news. You Qinglian went to the uncle's house several times but did not see Cheng Daqi's people. She had no choice but to come out to the street. Blocking.

"Cousin, please go and see my aunt?"

Cheng Daqi was dazed for a moment, as if he hadn't seen his cousin for a long time.

"What happened to your aunt?"

"Yes, cousin, what happened to my cousin?"

You Qinglian turned around, Cheng Yousan and Cheng Xiaosi were standing side by side. Cheng Yousan had already arranged for people to be watched around the Wenchang Hou Mansion to guard against You Qinglian. After all, she went to the Hou Mansion several times without making any progress. Who could Do you know if she will catch someone halfway?

Cheng Xiaosi looked worried, "My cousin was fine two days ago, and my mother even went to the Wenchang Marquis Mansion in person. Is she seriously ill?"

"Do you have a doctor?"

He raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Daqi, "Dad, my second uncle and several uncles are waiting for you at the house. They said they have something important to discuss. My third brother and I will go to my cousin's aunt's place to have a look. If something really happens, let my mother go too. .”

You Qinglian stepped forward and pulled her aside before she could refuse, "Don't worry, cousin, I can promise whatever my father can promise to my cousin."

You Qinglian shook her head and said that Cheng Daqi had to go there in person, "Cousin, my mother is very sick. She lies in bed and keeps talking about wanting to see you."

She didn't dare to say that her mother had been getting more and more irritable recently. She, who had always been very elegant and calm, was now hitting and scolding the sisters. Xiao Huan even hurt her hand by throwing a tea cup.

Cheng Daqi was really worried and asked the driver to go directly to the Wenchang Marquis Mansion. Cheng Xiaosi turned around and whispered something in Cheng Yousan's ear, and Cheng Yousan excused himself to go back to the home in advance.

When they arrived at the Hou Mansion, You Jinling stared at Cheng Xiaosi with an unkind look on her face and gritted her teeth, "Cheng Xiaosi, what do you mean?"

Cheng Xiaosi glanced at her and said, "I should ask you, why did my cousin, who is so good, run to the street and stop my father and insist on bringing him to you? Could it be that you have treated my cousin harshly?"

Although the two did not deal with each other, they reached a strange agreement on the matter of Zhang Yuewu, mother and daughter. One excuse was that she was too busy to express condolences, the other thought of a way to prevent her from going out, and Cheng Xiaosi fanned the flames. The life of Zhang Yuewu and her daughter was not easy. Now that Cheng Xiaosi said this, You Jinling glared at You Qinglian fiercely.

Cheng Xiaosi ignored her and hurriedly caught up with her father. He acted even more nervous than her father and even walked in front of her father.

A girl reported in the courtyard, and soon the group was ushered into the inner courtyard. Cheng Xiaosi squeezed past Cheng Daqi and was the first to enter. Suddenly, a figure threw herself into her arms, trembling all over, "Cousin."

Everyone
