Chapter 459 All crazy
After deliberately letting them hang out for several days, Cui Pu took a spare time to invite these Hu merchants to meet.

But in the past few days, Mrs. Wei Shishi asked people to bring out several boxes of dowry to pawn in the pawn shop, and collected a thousand crowns to send to Mu Jiaojiao.

Although she did things secretly, how could she escape the eyes of these supernatural beings?

Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao naturally sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, watching them pretend to be poor.And in the eyes of several presidents of the chamber of commerce, this kind of situation should not be a bit deep—it turns out that in the confrontation with Cui Zhifu, Governor Wei lost so badly!Even Governor Wei gave them a thousand strings to compensate them, so the valuables he gave away are nothing.

Of course, the loss of Qian Cai was relatively small, and the biggest impact this incident brought to them was psychological-this was the second time that Wei Shishi's family had fallen into the hands of Cui Zhifu!It's intriguing for a dignified governor to suffer in front of his subordinates twice in a row.

You must know that Governor Wei is also a governor at any rate, and what he does is to supervise and control the behavior of all officials in the Lingnan area.If anyone offended him, he would sue the saint with a pleading, and that person would be finished!However, he did not do this, but quietly left the matter behind two times in succession, and this time he took the initiative to pay Cui Pu. Governor Wei didn't dare to touch him at all?
If this is the case, then their previous decision to join Governor Wei was really a big mistake!

However, who would have thought that such a small magistrate would have such a great ability to make a governor obediently listen to him?Seeing Governor Wei's aggressive appearance when he first took office, how could they still treat him like this!result……

Hey, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

So, after setting a time to meet Cui Pu, the group got together again.

"For this matter right now, we must give Cui Zhifu a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't let us off easily." Naturally, He Wanqing, the chairman of the chamber of commerce, presided over the overall situation.

The three vice presidents also looked solemn.

"This matter is indeed our carelessness. Although the new magistrate is young, he is a ruthless character. We underestimated him too much at the beginning! There is also the matter of Nanman, because we are not good at supervision, so we just wrote it for him. Recommendation letter. This recommendation letter was written by me, and I will take the blame!" The second person to speak out was Lu Huan, the vice president who was listed as a key observation target by Cui Pu.

As soon as he said this, the face of the chairman He Wanqing changed, and he hurriedly said: "Although you wrote the letter, it was only after all of us discussed and nodded unanimously that you were allowed to write. If there is a mistake, all of us You are all wrong, how can you let yourself take all the blame?"

The others also nodded.

"However, do you think Prefect Cui will believe this? He has had a grudge against us for a long time. If we don't release someone to vent to him this time, it will be difficult to resolve this matter!" Lu Huan sighed.

These words touched the most tense string in everyone's heart.

Recently, they saw Cui Pu's methods against Governor Wei, and they quietly sent someone to Yangzhou to investigate, only to find out that Cui Pu's methods are so powerful!When he was in Yangzhou, he was a well-known killer of Shangguan. Whoever dared to stand in his way would be blocked by someone who killed the Buddha. The technique was so fierce that they were all terrified when they saw it.

Since he became the magistrate, he didn't know whether it was because of years of hard work in the officialdom that made him more mellow, or because of being a father, he restrained himself a little.However, it's just restraint, he hasn't changed his temper.Otherwise, how did Dai Ziang carry it down so hard?Niu Xianlin walked to Yangzhou in a haughty manner, how did he escape back with his tail between his legs?There are also countless small fish and shrimps that were trampled to death by Cui Pu.

In Yangzhou, there are many people who love and admire him, but there are also many people who hate him so much!

In fact, after calculation, it has been less than a year since Cui Pu came to Guangzhou, and many people in Lingnan area have already lost their official career because of his relationship.Just like the theft of official bank in the first half of the year, this case seems to be that Governor Wei has been jumping up and down all the time, but people who understand it clearly know that the cause of the incident is Cui Pu, and the whole process was also promoted by him. up.

The counterfeit medicine incident in the past two months has caused many officials in Quanzhou and other places to be investigated.These seem to be only led by Governor Wei alone, but after careful investigation, it turns out that the driving force behind the scenes is Cui Pu again!

That is to say, the two major events that occurred in the Lingnan area in this year seem to be the governor Wei who exerted great energy, but in fact, the real benefit is the prefect Cui!After all, he enjoyed the fruits of Wei Governor's labor without a single soldier.And what about Governor Wei?He also gained some face, and they didn't see the real and substantial reward. On the contrary, Governor Wei offended many people!Those who lost their positions or were demoted because of his relationship remembered him in their hearts!

Coupled with the incident at the gate of Fanfang this time...

Oh my God!
After thinking about these things together, they couldn't help feeling a little bit of admiration for Cui Pu.

It seems that when he moved to Guangzhou, he was not restrained because he was not familiar with the place, but because his temperament became more mellow, he knew how to hide his strength and bide his time, and use other people's hands to achieve his goals!

Look, how long has it been, when Governor Wei is making all kinds of big moves above, his free medicines, people catching and beating thieves and other small things have quietly infiltrated the lives of the people, and they are invisible. Cleaned up the discipline of Guangzhou Mansion.In less than a year, everyone's quality of life has been improved by more than one level!
Counting carefully, a lot of things have happened in the past six months, and countless people have suffered.But, no matter what, there is always a name among the beneficiaries. That name may be inconspicuous, or it may just occupy a small corner, but if you look at it a lot, you will always find some clues.This name is - Cui Pu!
If Lu Huan hadn't mentioned it, they wouldn't have discovered this.And when they discovered this, they also understood the meaning of Lu Huan's words—since the matter involved Cui Pu and also hurt the two people he valued the most, then this matter was impossible It's good.If they are smart enough, they'd better quickly come up with a charter and give Cui Pu a satisfactory explanation.Otherwise, if it's Cui Pu's turn to propose conditions, then they should be prepared to be ripped off by him!
"This time, if we don't take a piece of flesh off our body and give it to him, he won't be satisfied." Chairman He Wanqing sighed.

Lu Huan nodded. "exactly."

The faces of the others changed slightly, but they all nodded in agreement in the end.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was terribly depressed.

When it came time to meet Cui Pu, all of them dressed up and came to the government office step by step.

After the meeting, the chairman He Wanqing sent a list to Cui Pu without exchanging greetings: "Prefect Cui, we have already found out about the murderer Nanman changing his name and sneaking into Guangzhou. It was the people on this list who helped him He asked for directions and false identities, and he has found the people who came to Guangzhou to guarantee him. Now, those people in Guangzhou have surrendered themselves to the government, and we have sent people to look for those who are not in Guangzhou. We will bring them all back to Guangzhou in the shortest possible time. Of course, Nanman will get a letter of recommendation to settle in Guangzhou, which is also related to our negligence. We dare not shirk our responsibility. It is just because the Hu Chamber of Commerce has a very special status in Guangzhou. If we are all imprisoned because of this incident, I am afraid that it will cause panic among all the Hu people doing business in Guangzhou, and then cause panic in the territory of the new Tang Dynasty. I think you do not want to see such a result, so if you can If so, we are willing to use money to redeem our sins. Prefect Cui, what do you think of this idea?"

After reading the list from beginning to end, and listening to his words, Cui Pu couldn't help raising his eyes and looked at all the key members of the Hu Chamber of Commerce carefully.

It's not easy, these people!He screamed in his heart.

First handing over the lower-level personnel involved honestly and letting him deal with it is to provide enough people for him to vent his anger.Then, he offered to spend money to make amends, and he also thoughtfully stood on his side to help him consider the fate of shaking the foundation of the Hu Chamber of Commerce...Of course, he didn't intend to really move them all.Of course he had anticipated the consequences of doing that, and he wasn't stupid enough to dig his own grave.

It's just that these people have helped him think of everything they can think of, and even thoughtfully made the most appropriate response. What's the matter?

He is also ready to bargain with them!As a result, the solution they proposed on their own initiative is already the best result he expected, so what else can I say?

Cui Pu suddenly felt like punching cotton.And this feeling... Damn it was exactly the same as every time he confronted the Hejian County King!
Thinking of Prince Hejian, his mood instantly became worse.That old monster, since he had a quarrel with the eldest lady once, he gave up on himself in the palace and pretended to be a ghost to scare people, and even frightened him!Then I persuaded him patiently and invited him to attend the big lady's birthday banquet.He said that he would not come or not, but that foot was not slow at all!Moreover, he also sent a bunch of expensive gifts to the eldest lady, which immediately amused the eldest lady.Then, the two of them reunited!Even a little more intimate than before!
Really pissed him off!

What about the estrangement that will arise after the agreed quarrel?This old shameless!
Now that he thought of King Hejian, Cui Pu naturally lost his face towards the group of people in front of him.He just snorted: "Although what you said is good, if this government just forgets it like this, wouldn't it seem that this government is too talkative?"

Several Hu merchants heard this in their ears, and the corners of their mouths twitched in unison.

Prefect Cui, are you playing tricks on me?They are eager to ask.

He's such a big man, and he can't think of any other way to find fault with them, but he's ruthless enough to just throw out such a shameless sentence!
Hu merchants, you look at me and I look at you. In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Huan in unison.

Cui Pu saw it, and quietly took this scene into his eyes.

Lu Huan winked at the chairman.

Chairman He Wanqing quickly took out another letter, and approached Cui Pu respectfully: "This is the atonement fee we initially decided on. Prefect Cui, please see if it is enough. If it is not enough, we can add more."

Cui Pu took it lazily.After taking it apart and looking at it, he almost jumped up—five thousand strings!And it's five thousand per person!Four people add up to [-] guan!

This price tag is already high enough, so he can't bear to raise the price any more, okay?

Are these people crazy?He had never seen so many little fat sheep that voluntarily sent to the mouth of the hungry wolf.

His eyes naturally fell on Lu Huan again.

Lu Huan noticed it, and looked at him openly: "Of course, there is also our purpose for us to please you, Prefect Cui."

"Really? You say."

Lu Huan wanted to wink at the chairman He Wanqing again.Cui Pu then said, "Didn't you hear that? I asked you to speak, and I only listen to you!"

Lu Huan was helpless. "Yes, so that's enough. These days, we also observed the free decoction given by the magistrate's wife, and found that its effect is very significant. It took only a few months, and the death rate of the newly moved Hu people in Fanfang It has been greatly reduced. I am very interested in the formula of this medicinal material, and I want to take some medicinal materials to sell overseas by the way when we ship the next time to buy goods. Of course, we will pay the full price of the medicinal materials. If the prefect If Madam has other prescriptions, we will accept them as well."

"Well... I have to discuss it with my wife first. Go back first!" Cui Pu waved his hands calmly.

And as soon as the group of people left, he quickly lifted his foot and ran to the backyard, shouting as he ran: "My lady, come out quickly! You are crazy, this group of people are crazy! I am going crazy too!" !"
