Kowloon wins

Chapter 219
As the third master handed over the errand of the household department through the promotion of overseas grain varieties, Hongqing's hectic life returned to normal. Every morning, he went to the study to study, reported to the Ministry of Industry at noon, and occasionally went to the "Kirin Company" again. Or visit Xiaochuanzi Hutong, and life is very happy, no, the bell on the Tiananmen turret has just struck, and Hongqing has already walked out of Tiananmen, just thinking about it. Going to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry on the east side of the square, I saw Liu San'er rushing over from the place where the carriages and horses were parked. The raised feet took root immediately, and waited not far from the palace gate with a slight frown.

"Little Prince, something has happened. There was news from the mansion earlier that Mu Ning and the sons and brothers of the Lianghuai salt merchants were arrested by the Nine Admirals."

Liu San'er hurried to Hong Qing, and before she could catch her breath, she hastily reported.

"Huh? Tell me clearly, what's going on?"

Hong Qing knew Mu Ning. Speaking of which, he had dealt with him a lot when he was in Henan, so he had a good impression of him, but the relationship was too short to be considered a confidant. Considering his father Rongzhu's factor, although Hong Qing has a decent relationship with him, he has no intention of drawing him into his family circle. After all, the third master's identity is sensitive at this time, and it is not a good thing to have close contacts with the officials of Fengjiang. Now when he heard that Mu Ning had arrived in the capital, and was actually arrested by the people from the nine admirals' yamen, his slightly frowning brows inevitably became more frowned.

"Returning to the little prince, the thing is like this. According to the news from the nine-door admiral's yamen, it is said that Mu Ning and others arrived in the capital yesterday. The second son of the prince, Baoshou, got into a dispute, and then fought each other, which provoked the soldiers of the nine admiral's yamen, and was taken to the nine admiral's yamen. People paid attention to it, and it was one of Lord Heda's confidants who got the letter of approval, so he hurriedly reported to the mansion. By coincidence, the prince went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing again, and you are in the palace again, the young prince. We have no choice but to be Wait here."

Seeing that Hong Qing's expression was not right, Liu San'er didn't dare to neglect her, and hurriedly explained what happened in detail.

"This guy can really cause trouble!"

After listening to Liu San'er's explanation, Hong Qing's complexion not only didn't ease down, but on the contrary, it became a bit uglier, nothing else, Prince Yu Fuquan is seriously ill at the moment, and it seems that he is about to die. No matter who has a conflict with Fuquan's family, no matter whether it is justified or not, it is absolutely impossible to escape the seriousness of the elder brother Fuquan's favor, let alone Mu Ning, the son of the governor who has no foundation in the capital, it is Hong Qing himself who will If my son commits a crime, it is hard to escape the old man's control. If the case does not become a big deal, it will be easy to handle. At worst, with the brand of the third master, let Hong Qing come forward to talk and cooperate, and the big trouble can be turned into a small one. That's right, now that the matter got into the Jiumen admiral's yamen, Hong Qing couldn't suppress it even if she wanted to.

"My lord, look at this..."

When Liu San'er was in Henan, he kept in touch with Mu Ning a lot. Cheng Mu Ning flattered him, but he did not lose some benefits. Although he never took money from others, he did a lot of eating and drinking together. Seeing Hong Qing hadn't made up his mind for a long time, so he couldn't help being a little impatient, so he tried a word from the side.

"Hmph, go and inform Cao Yanshan, send more people, and do your best to find out the news for Ben Baylor. After Ben Baylor goes to the Ministry of Industry to take a leave of absence, we will go to the 'Kirin Firm' together to make a decision."

As far as mutual friendship is concerned, Hong Qing can completely ignore it, but Rong Zhu needs to fully cooperate with all the matters on the Henan side, whether it is the river control or the river control office has completed tens of thousands of hectares of land. In this way, Hong Qing was still waiting for the money from the land sale to deliver the tank boats ordered by the shipyard. Even if she was reluctant, Hong Qing could not stand by and watch this matter.

"Cha, little one, let's do it now."

Hearing Hong Qing's order, Liu San'er's hanging heart finally relaxed a little, he let out a sigh of relief, hurriedly responded, and rushed towards the parking place of the carriages and horses...

"Hey, brother Qing is here, what's the matter, the Ministry of Industry is not doing business today?"

Hong Qing went to the Ministry of Industry for a while, and then drove to the "Kirin Company" in a carriage. Just now, she walked into the lounge in the accountant's office, and saw the old fifteen and sixteen brothers who slipped away early in the morning. While making tea and chatting leisurely, before Hong Qing could sit down, the fast-talking Old Sixteen had already laughed and laughed at Hong Qing.

"Something happened today, I'm afraid that Uncle Sixteen must go out and run."

Hong Qing was upset at the moment, she had no intention of arguing with Old Sixteen, walked slowly to the coffee table, pulled out a rocking chair, flicked the hem of her robe, sat down, and opened her mouth with a solemn expression.

"Huh? What's bothering Brother Qing so much? After all, as long as it can be done, I will do it!"

Seeing that Hongqing's expression was not right, Old Sixteen didn't dare to joke casually, but he didn't make any excuses, and made a promise in a big way.

"It's not a big deal. A friend of mine came from Henan. Well, it's Mu Ning, the youngest son of Henan Governor Rong Zhu. He had a conflict with Uncle Baoshou in the Wanhualou yesterday. He called him Admiral Jiumen." The yamen has been arrested and is still in prison. I'm afraid it's not convenient to come forward, so I want to ask Uncle Sixteen to come over. I'm not afraid of spending money, as long as I get him out first. As for Uncle Baoshou Well, let me explain myself."

Although the matter is not too big, and there is Heda as an insider in the admiral's yamen of the Nine Gates, it is still difficult for Hong Qing to come forward in person, the root cause lies in Tuo Heqi, after all Hong Qing and Tuo Heqi have a lot of connections Old grudges, if Hong Qing went there by himself, it would definitely make things worse, but it would be more suitable for Old Sixteen, a well-connected local snake, to scoop up people. The root cause of six dozen discussions.

"Hey, it's just such a small matter. If there's anything difficult, you can just sit and drink tea, brother Qing. I'll come back when I go!"

Hearing that it was just a small incident of a restaurant brawl, Old Sixteen didn't care much, he slapped his small chest proudly, and left a sentence to explain, the person rushed out, and disappeared in a flash... …

"Huh? Old Sixteen, what happened?"

Old Sixteen left quickly, and came back not too slowly, within less than half an hour, Old Sixteen had already walked into the inner room of the counting room with a gloomy face, and the angry look immediately made Old Fifteen feel uncomfortable Surprised and inexplicable, he couldn't help but asked.

"His mother's bad luck, that bastard Tuo Heqi sent everyone to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for the shit he did. Damn it, it's obvious that he is going to make a fuss out of a molehill. The young master will never end with him!"

The old sixteen ran to the nine admiral's yamen confidently, originally thought that with his face, the matter could be settled easily, but he didn't expect to know how difficult Tuo Heqi was when he got there , even sent Mu Ning and others to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs without any face, and issued the order in front of the old sixteen, which made the old sixteen anxious, and had a big fight with Tuo Heqi , but still failed to change the result. At this moment, when the old fifteen asked, his rough temper exploded at that time, and he cursed with a black face.

Sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice?Damn it, Tuo Heqi didn't think about it, it should be the prince's idea, and things are going to be tricky!

Hearing the old sixteen's words, Hong Qing's brows were immediately furrowed into the word "Chuan", and an ominous premonition surged in her heart uncontrollably—a fight in a restaurant is not a big deal, even if she gets involved Baoshou, such a powerful and powerful clan, at most sent them to the Jingzhao Mansion for a slap in the face, but Tuo Heqi stuffed people into the yamen of the Criminal Ministry, making it clear that he wanted to treat small things as big ones, and his idea was nothing more than He wants Hong Qing to mess with the Eighth Master, this matter can no longer be settled privately, even if the Eighth Master is willing to do it privately, the crown prince will definitely not let it go, the trouble is obviously serious.

"Sent to the Ministry of Punishment? Don't let it go, isn't it just a big deal? What is the Ministry of Punishment doing?"

Old Fifteen did not have Hongqing's keen mind, but was blindly curious about the irrationality of Tuo Heqi's behavior.

"Who said it wasn't? Grandma is a bitch, the shit that Tuo Heqi's bastard did is really not a thing! Brother Qing, why don't you go to the Criminal Department again?"

The old sixteen is a small local snake, he has acquaintances everywhere, whether it is the admiral of the nine gates or the military commander of the five cities, he is very familiar with him, but he is a little scratching his head when he is facing the Ministry of punishment. On the elder brother of the father and the gang, the old sixteen was really not sure that the eighth master and the gang could sell him face, but he felt that he was not good at handling things, and he was ashamed of Hong Qing's entrustment, so he asked a question without confidence.

"No need, this matter doesn't seem that simple, the two uncles don't need to intervene, and discuss it with Ama later, and then make a decision."

Being entrusted with such a complete arrangement, the private route is obviously not feasible. If you go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice without preparation, not only will you not be able to solve the problem, but you may be dragged into the quagmire. This is obviously not a situation that Hong Qing likes to see , the matter has come to this point, really can only be safe first and then care about the rest.

"This..., that's fine, if brother Qing is useful to my brothers, just open your mouth, come into the fire, go into the water, there is no difference!"

The old sixteen felt very guilty for not being able to help Hong Qing, but since Hong Qing said so, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only express his opinion.

"Well, that's fine, I'm afraid there will be no peace these days, so I would like to ask the two uncles to take care of the business!"

Seeing that she couldn't get help from the old sixteen brothers, Hong Qing didn't want to stay in the shop any longer, after a few words of advice, she got up and left, and rushed to her palace in a carriage.
