Kowloon wins

Chapter 184

This year's weather is a bit evil, it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it's still hot, just stood at the palace gate for a while, the fourth master is already profusely sweating, but the fourth master is the slightest I don't mind, my back is straight, I don't even reach out to wipe the sweat beads on my face, I just stand like a green pine, but the old thirteen standing next to him is obviously not so calm, While wiping sweat with a white handkerchief, he raised his eyes and looked around, looking extremely impatient. Nothing else, a neat court dress looked good, but it was too stuffy to wear. The usual time of waiting seems particularly uncomfortable.

It has been nearly three months since the debt was cleared, and the deficit recovered has reached more than 800 million taels. It seems that the results are brilliant. It seems that as long as we work harder, the task of chasing up to [-] million taels will be easy It’s settled, but in fact, all the soft persimmons that are easy to handle have been taken away, and the rest are hard nuts to crack. Not to mention, the more than one hundred thousand taels of silver that the crown prince owes to the treasury is hard to shave off. Head, not only that, but the Eighth Masters and his gang are not fuel-efficient lamps, and then there are a lot of servants of the emperor such as the Cao family and the Wei family who are also big debtors, and all of them are the masters of the holy family. He's not that active. About this matter, Old Thirteen had asked Fourth Master many times in private, but he never got any useful news. Facing such an extremely difficult situation, how could he be honest? All of them can hold their temper.

"Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan, Fourth Belle Yinzhen, Thirteenth Elder Brother Yinxiang Yangxin Hall to see you!"

Waiting and waiting, waiting for nearly half an hour, until the old thirteen was on the verge of extreme impatience, and finally saw Qin Wuyong hurried out of Tiananmen Square, and declared the old man expressionlessly. orally.

"My sons and ministers take the decree to thank you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Hearing that the old man finally said it, not only the old thirteen, but even the fourth master who had been as calm as a mountain was secretly relieved, but they didn't dare to make any other expressions, and thanked each other endlessly.

"Fourth Master, Thirteenth Master, please come with this old slave."

Facing the two popular elder brothers who have been stirring up trouble in the court recently, although Qin Wuyong's face was calm, the gesture of bowing to invite him could not help but show a trace of care.

"It's work."

Although Fourth Master could see Qin Wuyong's small intention to please, he didn't have any special reaction, just nodded, thanked casually, and then walked into the palace gate slowly.

"Eunuch Qin, I have to work, hehe, is Huang Ama busy?"

It took half an hour to be summoned. It was obviously different from usual. The old thirteen was not as confident as the fourth master. He thanked him with a smile and flicked his fingers. He silently flicked a folded bank note into Qin Wuyong's sleeve.

"The third master's playbook has arrived, and His Majesty is looking at it. Brother Thirteen, please."

Qin Wuyong is a person who is used to collecting money, although the action of the old thirteen is hidden, he can understand it, but he didn't dare to speak out about the government, so he just nodded with a smile.

"Oh, hehe, Eunuch Qin, please!"

Hearing that the old man was looking at the playbook of the third master, the old thirteen's heart sank involuntarily, but he didn't say much, he just laughed, and after perfunctory Qin Wuyong, he quickly caught up The fourth master, who was one step ahead, quietly informed the fourth master of the news from Qin Wuyong.

"Ah."

The fourth master obviously didn't want to hear the news about the third master at this time, and ignored the kindness of the thirteenth master, so he just said calmly, but there was no pause under his feet, and he was still walking steadily towards the Walking forward, as if nothing happened, but there was a little bit of worry in the cold eyes - it is also the leader's job, and the things on the third master's side are not necessarily easier than clearing the debt, but The third master was able to do it with ease, but the fourth master was in serious trouble in paying off debts in his own hands. Compared with the two, the fourth master's mood was not much better.

"My son kowtowed to Huang Ama!"

Fang Xing walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and when he saw the old man Kangxi sitting in the middle, he was talking with the five and seven elder brothers in a friendly manner, and what he was talking about was the matter of the third master governing the river, and the fourth master's heart suddenly fell It was a twitch, but he didn't dare to neglect the slightest, he hurriedly rushed to the front of the emperor, and rushed to pay respects to the big ceremony.

"Forget it, just be flat."

The old man was obviously in a good mood, raised his hand with a smile, and yelled warmly.

"Thank you, Emperor Amalongen, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The old man is in a good mood. As a son, he should be happy, but the fourth master can't be happy. It's not because of anything else, but because the old man's good mood is aimed at the third master. When he thinks about it, fourth master His already heavy heart couldn't help but sink a little bit more, but at this moment, he didn't dare to show any disrespect, so he could only force himself to thank him, and stood with the old thirteen hand in hand, Waiting quietly for the old man's instructions.

"Fourth, how is your errand going? Is there anything wrong with it?"

The old man is really in a good mood, because all the government affairs have been going smoothly recently, not only the most troublesome problem of river control has been solved, but also the extremely difficult work of clearing debts has made great progress, and there is an extra 300 million in the treasury Two dollars of money, things that I wanted to do but didn't dare to do before, can now be put on the agenda now. With such a good sign, the old man has no reason to be unhappy, but the old man is not a fatuous person after all, so he knows what is going on right now. Although the current situation is great, the undercurrent below is extremely turbulent. I can't help but feel a little worried that Fourth Master won't be able to hold back the situation, so he asked kindly.

"If you go back to Huang Ama, my son is working hard. After a while, everything will be straightened out."

Fourth master entered the palace this time with the intention of asking the old man to come forward to support him, but with third master as a comparison, fourth master would not want to lose his momentum, so he replied with a swollen face to pretend to be fat.

"Well, that's good. The third side has blocked the mouth of the Yellow River, and now many canals have started construction. The situation is gratifying. Fourth, if you can do it safely, I can do it too." Save yourself a lot of worry."

Hearing fourth master's statement like this, the old man's originally good mood suddenly became a little better, and he couldn't help but praise third master and fourth master.

"Don't worry, Huang Ama, I will do my best to do my best, and I will definitely live up to Huang Ama's trust!"

The fourth master has a strong personality and a good face. Originally, he wanted to ask the old man to come forward to take down such a difficult bone for the prince, but after being compared by the old man, the words that came to his lips retracted into his stomach, and he just kept biting Grinding his teeth, he expressed his attitude with determination on his face.

"Huang Ama, my son has something to say!"

The fourth master had concerns, but the old thirteen was fearless. Seeing that the fourth master swallowed his intentions in the future, the old thirteen couldn't bear it anymore, so he stepped in from the side, with a loud voice Said a word.

"Oh? If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm listening."

The old man obviously didn't expect that the old thirteen would show up at this moment, his brows could not help but frowned slightly, and he immediately let go, looked at the old thirteen with great interest, and approved the old thirteen in a calm tone. Please.

"Huang Ama Mingjian, my son and the fourth brother are fighting day and night, and they are almost falling apart, but some gossips say that I only dare to hit flies and dare not touch tigers. My son is angry. However, he was rendered speechless when he was refuted, he is really not reconciled, and asked Huang Ama to be the master for his sons and servants!"

The old thirteen deserved the nickname "Desperate Saburo", he was really ruthless, regardless of whether the old man was willing to listen or not, the harsh words just came out one after another.

"Thirteenth brother, stop talking nonsense!"

Hearing what old thirteen said, fourth master was very happy in his heart, because this was the topic he wanted to say but was hard to say. The master's intention was only to be happy, but the fourth master would not show it at all. Not only that, but he also pretended to be angry and scolded the old thirteen.

"Fourth brother, don't stop me. I have to talk about it today. When is it? If I don't say it clearly, I will make the children proud!"

Although the old thirteen is a person who dares to fight and fight, he is not a reckless person without brains. He can hear the real intention behind Fourth Master's scolding, so he hastily shouted in a resentful manner. Come crashing down.

"Huh? Say, old thirteen, you have explained clearly to me, what is going on here?"

The old man has been in power for more than forty years, and he has never experienced any storms, so how could he not know the difficulty of paying off the debt? In fact, the old man has been waiting for the fourth master to come to ask for help, so he can take the opportunity to lend a helping hand. It's just that the fourth master didn't say anything, and he couldn't take the initiative to extend his hand. Seeing the old thirteen showing up at this moment, he really wanted to help out. Of course, the old man would not show it directly if he wanted to. He just snorted coldly, giving Old Thirteen a chance to make a request.

"Yes, let me just say, Erchen and the fourth elder brother worked hard together. After three months of hard work, they finally recovered more than 10,000 million taels of silver. Quit it, said that His Royal Highness owed [-]+ taels and didn't pay it back, why did he just chase down the servants, my son was anxious and argued with those dogs, but..., alas, my son really didn't know what to do Speaking of which, please ask Emperor Ama Mingcha."

"Humph!"

The old thirteen's words were very cruel. It seemed that he was complaining, but in fact he was forcing the palace. That meant that if the old man didn't put pressure on the prince, he would have no way to settle the debt. With the old man's shrewdness, How could it be possible that he could not hear the subtext in these words, and his complexion immediately darkened.
