Chapter 165 I'm actually very talkative
It’s almost June, and it’s already very hot. Even though we’re sitting in a cool room with the windows on both sides wide open, the wind is still hot, blowing on people’s bodies, not only can’t cool off the heat, but makes us even more stuffy. A little bit, especially at the moment when Liangzhu was dressed in neat court clothes, it was even more unbearable, beads of sweat all over his forehead were dripping down like pearls with broken strings, even if he changed a few clothes in a row Liangzhu was so annoyed that he wanted to walk away, but he didn't dare, not because of anything else, but because the contract he signed yesterday was still in Hong Qing's hands, and he didn't want to. If this matter is settled, Liangzhu's wealth and life will probably be over.

38 taels, this is not a small number, the total property of Liangzhu is less than half of this number, even if it is borrowed, there is no place to borrow it, if it is really owed according to the rules, Liangzhu Apart from hanging himself, I'm afraid there is no other way to go. Because of this, he almost didn't close his eyes last night, and today he came to the inn early in the morning, just to be able to talk to Hong Qing. To discuss it, even though he knew it was extremely difficult, Liangzhu had no choice but to wait for Hongqing to appear.

"Hey, Mr. Liang is here, sorry, I got up late today, I kept you waiting, Haihan, Haihan."

Just when Liangzhu was waiting almost to despair, there was a sound of footsteps outside the study door, but Hongqing walked in from outside, with a warm smile on his face and cupped his hands at Liangzhu, Accompanied by a not.

"It's okay, it's okay, the little prince has been working hard for days, it's hard work, but the official came here boldly, if you disturb me, please forgive me."

Seeing Hong Qing's appearance, Liang Zhu immediately jumped up like an electric shock, hurriedly returned the salute, the words were extraordinarily polite and tactful, there was nothing he could do, this is human beings as swordsmen, I as fish and meat, You can't bow your head!
"Master Liang, please sit down, come and exchange tea!"

Hong Qing woke up for a while, and she had already figured out what Liang Zhu was thinking. Seeing his behavior now, she secretly smiled in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just smiled politely.

"My lord, please sit down!"

Right now, Liangzhu didn't dare to have the idea of ​​fighting against Hongqing anymore, so he carefully let Hongqing to the top position, and then sat down with a smile on his face, and the guards of the palace who followed him closely Hurry up and deliver the freshly brewed fragrant tea.

"Hey, Mr. Liang didn't have a good rest last night? Alas, it's so hot that it's hard to sleep peacefully. Huang Mafa often said that the body is the capital. Without this capital, it's nothing. I can't do it, Mr. Liang is the pillar of the country, and he must take good care of his health."

Even though she had already guessed Liang Zhu's reason for coming and planned to make some preparations for it, Hong Qing couldn't bring it up by herself first, so she pretended to be ignorant and babbled nonsense.

"That's, that's, the little prince's golden and jade words, I should keep them in my heart, I dare not or forget them, it's just, ah, just..."

Now that people are under the eaves, Liang Zhu is really a hero and short of breath. Naturally, Hong Qing has to say whatever he says. He originally planned to take advantage of the situation to talk about his own difficulties, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to divide them. That's right, I couldn't hold back until my old face flushed.

"Huh? Master Liang, what's the matter with you? You and I are very friendly. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't worry too much."

Seeing Liangzhu's face suffocated like a monkey's butt, Hong Qing almost burst out laughing, but fortunately the city was deep enough, she didn't lose her composure, so she slapped her chest proudly, as if she and Liangzhu were life and death. They chatted like a friend.

"Then..., Xiaguan is bold and presumptuous." Liang Zhu cupped his hands at Hong Qing with a face full of shame, then lowered his head, and said in embarrassment: "Xiaguan didn't sleep all night yesterday. Feeling guilty, I blame the negligence of the lower officials. When I took over the office, I was busy with chores, but forgot to write off the account, so that I ended up in such an embarrassing situation. Alas, if the lower officials have such a lot of family wealth, I will pay it back. Well, whoever made the lower officials not to be cautious, can't blame others, but..., alas, the lower officials were not born rich. Over the years, although they can be regarded as official careers, they really haven't saved much money, 38 taels Counting, I really can't do anything, I ask the little prince to raise your hand, and I will report back."

"This……"

The origin of Liangzhu's deficit is obvious, Hong Qing knew it well, and she really wanted to help him out, but she was not in a hurry to tell the truth, after all, if you want to sell a favor, you have to sell it to Dali no?
"If the little prince is really in a difficult situation, the subordinate officials don't dare to force it, and let the subordinate officials go to the root and plead guilty to the Holy One. Whether it is life or death, the subordinate officials will accept it."

Seeing Hong Qing's face full of embarrassment, Liangzhu's heart suddenly turned cold. He is also a veteran in the officialdom, so why doesn't he know the crux of the matter? They immediately dared to follow suit, and all of them came to cry for grievances. Wouldn't Hongqing's hard work yesterday be all in vain? Thinking of this, Liangzhu didn't want to waste any more time, and shook his head bitterly. Then he got up, intending to say goodbye and leave.

"Master Liang, don't worry, this matter is not hopeless, please sit down and talk slowly, okay?"

Seeing that Liangzhu was about to leave, Hong Qing, who was planning to sell a favor to an adult, couldn't sit idly by, so she also got up, lowered her hands, and comforted Liangzhu with a smile.

"Oh? Really? The little lord has any orders, please tell me straight up, as long as the officials can do it, I dare not say so!"

Liangzhu was already in despair, but when he heard Hong Qing's words, he was taken aback for a moment, and then expressed his attitude in surprise.

"Don't dare to give orders, but I just have some thoughts, and I would like to ask Mr. Liang to see if it is feasible."

After Hong Qing calmly took her seat, she still didn't rush to point out the crux of the matter, but spoke with obvious hesitation.

"Young Lord, if you have something to say, you can speak it out, and the officer will just listen to it."

At this moment Liangzhu only hoped to be saved, he was very polite and courteous, he didn't dare to sit down, he just stood there bowing, as if he was listening respectfully to the instruction.

"You don't need to do this, Mr. Liang. I still know about your matter. It's just a mistake of negligence. It's too much to ask you to pay for Ru Fu's fault. If it's another season, make up for it. Zhang Wen, talk to someone about it, and it's over, but at this juncture, alas, it's hard for me."

Hong Qing is a seasoned trickster, she was not in a hurry to talk about the solution first, but just talked about her own difficulties, and really made the sweat on Liang Zhu's forehead rush out again, but she didn't dare to say anything to interrupt Hong Qing. Qing's complaints were choking.

"It's difficult. The lower officials also know that it is quite difficult, but..., alas!"

Hong Qing was lamenting, and Liang Zhu naturally had to follow suit, but his lament was true, and it was hard to say how much Hong Qing's lament was true.

"Lord Liang, don't worry, no matter how difficult this matter is, I have to fight for Master Liang one time, and I must not let the honest people suffer, but at this juncture, if Xingzang is missed, the gang of dogs below are afraid If Mr. Liang can keep the secret, I will be able to plan something."

After Hong Qing had finished arranging the difficulties, the conversation suddenly changed and she began to make demands.

"Young master, don't worry, I don't dare to talk nonsense, and I ask my little prince to get a charter for my subordinate."

Now, even though he knew that Hongqing would have some unreasonable demands, Liang Zhu could no longer care about so many, and didn't ask how Hongqing would operate, so he agreed first.

"Okay, with Master Liang's words, Ben Beizi is relieved. This matter is not difficult to say. Ben Beizi has a share here, and Master Liang will know the truth at a glance."

Guan Zimai has sold enough, if there is any more detours, it will be too late, this point, Hong Qing is very well grasped, and when the fire is over, there will be no more, shaking her hand, He took out a copy that had been covered with yellow silk from the wide sleeve, and handed it to Liangzhu in a serious manner.

"This, this, this is how the subordinates should tell each other. The little prince's kindness in helping me will never be forgotten by the subordinates!"

The book is not long, only a few hundred words, and it only talks about one thing, which is to excuse the incident of Liangzhu, and put all the deficits on the head of the dead Ru Fu, demanding The Criminal and Household Departments merged the confiscated Ru Fu family property into the deficit of the Hecao Yamen. The matter was not difficult, it was just a matter of going through some procedures, but for Liangzhu, it was nothing less than a life-saving straw, which really moved him. Can't add more.

"Mr. Liang, please wait a moment. This matter must be kept secret, and the news must not be leaked. Even if my son wants to publish this chapter, it will have to be delayed for a while. It is best to have Mr. Liang urge the dogs below to finish it first. "

Hongqing never does useless work, this time to excuse Liangzhu, in addition to earning a big favor, the more important thing is to let Liangzhu personally go out and suppress the gang of Hecao officials to pay back the shortfall as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do. It's just that our Hecao yamen has a lot of abuses, and it's really hard to fill in the gaps. I did a little calculation last night. Even if the gang of dogs are doing their best, it's half the time." After a month, it is too much to make up half of it, and as for the balance, I am afraid that the lower officials can't do it."

In order to save himself, Liang Zhu was really happy to help Hong Qing as the thug, but he was not very optimistic about the completion of the task, fearing that Hong Qing would scold him, so he hurriedly said the ugly words first. ahead.

"Well, I'm afraid it's not enough. Mr. Liang, you should know that Ben Beizi not only has to pay off his debts, but also the matter of the Gudi on the other side of Kaifeng is on Ben Beizi's shoulders. My father and king are still waiting for the results in Luoyang. I don't want to hide it from Liang. My lord, after all the calculations, this errand does not have a million taels of silver, I am afraid it is not enough, so that's all right, Mr. Liang just try his best to recover the debt, and use 100 million taels as the minimum limit. As for the difference, In the future, Ben Beizi will break it down and explain it in detail, so it can be done?"

The original deficit of more than 170 million taels, after deducting more than 36 of Liangzhu's public debt, would only be about 130 million. If it was only half, it would only be more than [-] taels. satisfy.

"Forget it, then I will try my best as an officer!"

Both left and right are dead, so it is natural that dead friends will not die poor people. This kind of awareness is not lacking in Liangzhu. Seeing that Hong Qing has already said so much, he can no longer haggle uninterestedly. After talking endlessly, he gritted his teeth and agreed, the evil spirit in the words was really astonishingly strong.
