Chapter 199 Attacking the Shield with His Spear ([-])

After the rooster sang, the whole night was finally over. Hong Qing woke up early in the morning, ran circles, raised stones and locked the ground for more than half an hour, and just now she was able to fool the old master Chen's homework. Went there, washed up in a hurry, ate two bowls of porridge, and accompanied the third master to the yamen of the household department. Just as he got off the sedan chair, he saw that the fourth master had led a group of officials from the household department to wait there outside the yamen.

"Third brother, good morning!"

The fourth master's eyes were slightly red, it was obvious that he had not slept well last night, but he was in good spirits. When he saw the third master and his son get off the sedan chair, he immediately strode forward and greeted him very politely. .

"Fourth brother arrived so early, I really feel ashamed of my brother."

This is about to see the truth, although the third master was nervous, but after all, he was good at nourishing his energy, and it didn't show on his face. He also bowed his hands and returned the salute with a smile on his face.

"My nephew greeted my fourth uncle."

Although she never had the slightest fondness for the ruthless fourth master in her heart, Hong Qing never lacked in the courtesy that should be done.

"No, no, Qing'er is in good spirits today, okay, okay."

The fourth master was originally a cold person, and he seldom joked with others, so he wanted to joke with Hong Qing at this moment to relieve his nervous mood, but the words came out of his mouth, but they were still dry and tight some.

"Fourth Uncle is being polite."

After hearing Fourth Master's incomparably dry jokes, Hong Qing almost didn't spit out all her breakfast. Of course, she could slander her as much as she wanted, but she still had to put on an air of humility in order to save face. Then he bowed deeply and thanked him.

"Fourth brother, it's windy here, so let's all go inside. When people arrive, let's start."

The third master had a entanglement in his heart, and he really didn't want to hang out at the gate of the yamen. Once the etiquette was over, he gave the order in an unquestionable tone.

"What the third brother said is, please!"

The third master's words are enough to put on the posture of a high-ranking person. Although it may be unintentional, but in the ears of the fourth master, it has a special taste. However, the third master is currently popular, and he is second only to all elder brothers in terms of title No. 1 of the crown prince, the fourth master, no matter how dissatisfied he was, did not dare to express his dissatisfaction, so he could only wave his hand with a sneer, and let the third master and his son go to the yamen.

"Report to the lord, everyone has arrived, please tell the lord what to do."

The third master and his son are distinguished, so naturally there is no need to pay attention to the greetings and departures. Once they entered the yamen, they naturally abducted into the temporary office, accompanied by the fourth master, drinking tea and chatting, but This kind of leisure didn't last long, and it was only halfway through the hour when Fan Shijie hurried in from the outside, and reported with a very respectful manner.

"Oh, okay, as expected of being a general, isn't this punctual ability really good? Well, fourth brother, let's go and have a look together."

Don't look at the third master's calm and indifferent state before, as if he didn't care about everything, but when it came time to see the truth, he was still quite nervous, no, the words became a little incoherent.

"Third brother, please!"

The third master was nervous, and the fourth master was also not relaxed at the moment. He didn't notice anything wrong with the third master's words, so he got up hastily, and waved his hand to signal the third master to go first.

"Fourth brother, please!"

Nervousness is nervousness, and when things are coming to an end, there is no way out. The third master can only take a deep breath, force himself to calm down the deer in his heart, wave his hands in return, and then walk out proudly. The office went to the front courtyard.

"The last general will wait to see the prince!"

The household department is the key point in charge of the world's finances, but the money belongs to the rich, but the size of the yamen is not much different from other departments. There are many, and they are all generals who live in eight seats. When they arrive at the household department, they naturally have to have a seat. With such a seat, the huge courtyard is immediately crowded to the brim. The quarrels made the originally solemn household department into a mess, and it was when the third master and his party arrived, the gang of Qiu Baye restrained themselves a little, got up, and paid homage in a chaotic manner.

"No, all gentlemen, please sit down and talk."

After all, the third master is the master who has seen the big scene, although his heartstrings are tense, but on the surface he can still hold on to the airs, and he didn't lose his composure because of the loud salutes of the generals, but seeing him He walked unhurriedly to the big seat in the middle, looked around the crowd with a warm expression, raised his hand, and shouted calmly.

"Thank you, my lord, for giving me your seat!"

Although the generals had different ideas, none of them dared to be rude on such an occasion. After thanking each other, they all took their seats.

"My lords, I came here to supervise the settlement of debts of the household department under the order of the emperor Ama. If there is any offense, please don't blame me."

The third master did not take his seat, but stood upright as usual, with a smile on his face, he looked around the crowd again with great awe, and he took out the old man's big signboard as soon as he opened his mouth, although the words were words of apology , but the murderous intent inside is thick enough.

"..."

Dead silence, only one kind of dead silence answered the third master, and the twenty or so generals who crowded under each other were all sitting upright, as if they hadn't heard the third master's speech. This attitude is obviously not a good omen. .

"Since you have no objection, that's good, Fan Shijie!"

The generals were silent to protest, but the third master ignored so many, and directly took the silence of the generals as acquiescence, waved his hand, and called Fan Shijie's name loudly.

"The subordinate is here!"

Fan Shijie was standing by the side. Hearing the third master's roll call, he didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurried out from the side and agreed loudly.

"Xuan!"

It's hard to be kind today, the third master doesn't need to save face for the generals, and he doesn't need to talk nonsense, he waved his hand and gave the order directly, then he lifted the hem of his robe and sat down.

"twitter!"

The third master had an order, and Fan Shijie dared not disobey, so he hurriedly responded, shook his hand, took out a copybook from his wide sleeve, spread it out, and preached loudly with enough luck : "Baxi, the governor of Liangjiang, owes 21 taels of silver, and the ground deficit of the two rivers under his control is 580 taels; Ashan, the governor of Huguang, owes 210 taels of silver, and the ground deficit of the two lakes under his control is 430. 11 taels; Taiji Gu, the governor of Sichuan, owed 410 taels of silver; Zhisuo was in shortfall of 130 taels; Thousand 300 seven taels..."

"My lord, all the accounts have been read out, please give me instructions."

The accounts are not short, although each general is only two lines, but there are more than [-] generals in such a pile, it really makes Fan Shijie read a little dry, it is not easy to finish the job, and he dare not take a breather Impressed, he hurriedly bowed to the third master again, and asked for instructions loudly.

"En!" Facing Fan Shijie's request for instructions, the third master didn't say much, he just raised his hand and gave a noncommittal soft voice, signaling Fan Shijie to step back, but the third master glanced at him with a frosty face. After a brief look at the generals who were sitting upright, they said in a cold voice: "Do you have any objections to this account? If so, please raise it. If not, then this king will handle it accordingly."

"..."

The accounts are all on the bright side, naturally there can be no mistakes at all, it is obviously unwise to fight with the third master on this matter, this point, all the generals present are as clear as a mirror in their hearts. There will be no objections at all, of course, not speaking does not mean that the generals have given in, on the contrary, everyone is just waiting for the opportunity to explode.

"Since you have no objection to the account, let me discuss the repayment later."

The third master waited for a while, the generals were still silent, the scene was unavoidably a bit cold, but the third master didn't care, his face softened, he nodded in approval, and stroked his long beard on his chest, calmly Turned to the topic like this.

"There is nothing to discuss. If you have money, you will pay it back early. Why come here to eat ashes!"

As soon as the third master finished speaking, a burly lieutenant interrupted sinisterly from the side, and it turned out to be Ge Taihe, the deputy general of Fengtai Daying, a slave of the tenth master's family.

"That is, if you have money, who is willing to pay the debt? If I don't have money, how can I pay it back!"

"What General Ge said is true. We are all generals of the imperial court. Who is shameless? We really have no money. When we come here today, we borrow all the tops and hats. Where can we get the money to pay them back?" !"

"I don't have any money, but this is my life. The third master thinks it's suitable, so just take it."

"We really want to pay back the money. If you, Mr. Third, have a lot of money, you can give us one hundred and eighty thousand yuan first, and we will pay it back right away!"

……

When Ge Taihe opened his mouth, it was obviously a signal, and the generals below immediately started to make noise, regardless of the expression of the third master, they all just kept shouting, some were arrogant, some were crying poor, There were also those who pretended to be crazy and foolish, and they immediately became a mess, so it was so lively.

Hey, what a group of Qiu Ba, they are really determined to make a big fuss, it's interesting!

If one is unprepared, facing such an exciting situation, no matter how good the attitude is, the generals will make their eyes stare at them. As for the moment, Hong Qing, who had expected this scene for a long time, is not at all He didn't take it to heart, just stood quietly behind the third master, waiting for the good show to start.

"Third brother, look at this..."

The generals below became more and more cheerful, and the situation was clearly on the verge of getting out of control. Seeing this, the fourth master was very happy, but his face showed a worried look, and he leaned to the third master's side. He grunted in embarrassment.
