Chapter 244 The Alliance Under the City ([-])

"Meet the little prince!"

In the guest courtyard on the east side of Prince Cheng's Mansion, Mu Ning and the others gathered in the hall after freshening up, angrily discussing this indiscriminate disaster. The water was very deep, so I didn't dare to say anything nonsense, but Sun Zhengtao and the other salt merchants had no scruples, and the curses rang out one after another. The guards of the famous palace turned out from the screen wall, and the sharp-eyed Mu Ning hurriedly got up and went forward in three steps at a time. Regardless of the heavy snow still floating in the sky, he knelt down in the snow all at once.

"I have seen the little prince!"

"My little one, please greet the little prince!"

……

Sun Zhengtao and the other young masters were scolding themselves, they really didn't notice Hong Qing's arrival, until Mu Ning was already kneeling on the ground, everyone was startled, and they dared not be negligent in the slightest. Maoxue rushed down the hall, and each paid their respects one after another, but after all, these young masters are not from the officialdom, and their etiquette is crooked, really out of tune.

"Forget it all, let's go into the hall and talk."

Hong Qing originally had a good impression of Mu Ning, who was very capable of doing things, but now that this guy has caused such a big trouble, her good impression of him has almost worn away, but, considering Rong Hong Qing didn't want to face each other with a cold face, of course, there was no need to do so, after all, they were allies, and they still had to give what they deserved, which was very modest. He raised his hand, signaling that everyone needn't be too polite.

"Thank you, little prince Ron."

Mu Ning came to Beijing this time, not so much to accompany a few salt merchants to the household department to verify and cancel the salt quotation, but rather to come here specially to curry favor with Hong Qing. When I heard Hong Qing's words were polite, but there was an obvious sense of alienation, I couldn't help feeling very panic in my heart, but I didn't dare to talk too much in front of Hong Qing, so I could only be Thanking you anxiously, standing beside the road with hands lowered in a respectful manner, respectfully asking Hong Qing to go to the hall first, and the other salt merchant sons saw this, and thanking you in a chaotic way, imitating the example and standing respectfully. On both sides, Hong Qing was greeted into the hall like stars holding the moon.

"Sit down, everyone has suffered these past few days. Ben Baylor is really ashamed for not being able to rescue him sooner. Please forgive me."

Even though she didn't like to see these young masters who caused such a catastrophe, despite the depth of Hongqing's city, she wouldn't show it on her face, instead she apologized in a heartbroken manner.

"If we hadn't been helped by the little prince, An Neng would have escaped from prison. I will repay this kindness with death."

Hong Qing's words were extraordinarily polite, and the friends of the salt merchants nearby couldn't tell why, but Mu Ning, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, could hear the estrangement in his heart, and his heart sank , Hastily replied loyally.

"Mr. Mu's words are right. We have been wronged for nothing. If the little prince hadn't rescued us, I'm afraid we'd be put in prison!"

"That's right, it's really thanks to the little prince for avenging us, if not, God knows what will happen."

"Little prince is wise and loyal enough. I'm so grateful for your great virtue!"

……

A group of salt merchant sons are all young men, who have never been imprisoned. After being robbed this time, they are really afraid. Now that they are talking about it, everyone still has lingering fears. Words of gratitude to Hong Qing I've been messing around since then.

"You guys are overrated, come on, let's not talk so much. Today, Ben Baylor hosted a banquet to impress you. As for the errands you have to do when you come to Beijing, I will send someone to do it for you later. Recently, the ground in the capital is not very peaceful. If you have done your errands, it’s better to turn around earlier. If you come to the capital again someday, you can come directly to Ben Bayle. There is no one else, but the wine is enough. !"

No matter how flattering the young masters are, Hong Qing's heart will not be moved. However, in order to get rid of all the troublemakers as soon as possible, Hong Qing is extremely enthusiastic and writes off everyone in a big way. He took over everything, and at the end, he graciously ordered a banquet to show the friendship of the landlord.

"The child has seen the father!"

The banquet in the palace was naturally very rich, the food was delicious and the wine was fragrant, and there were singing and dancing to accompany the wine. After the three rounds, he left the table, leaving only Li Minxing, Liu San'er and the others to accompany him in the outer courtyard, but he himself hurried to the study room in the inner courtyard, and he saw the third master sitting high above him with Chen Li and Li were laughing and chatting, obviously in a good mood, Hong Qing didn't listen carefully, but rushed to the copywriter and saluted respectfully.

"no."

Seeing that Hong Qing had arrived, the smile on the third master's face immediately became a little warmer, he raised his hand with a smile, and cried out gently.

"Thank you, Father Wang Longen."

In front of the third master, Hong Qing has always been very well-behaved, and she dared not show arrogance and arrogance, and it was the same at this time. The hem of the robe sat down.

"Well, have Mu Ning and others settled down?"

Mu Ning and the others are all white, and it is impossible for the third master to greet them in person. Of course, the third master is aware of the matter when these people are taken to the palace. Seeing Hong Qing smelling of alcohol now, He knew that he must have just returned from the outer courtyard, but, to express his concern, the third master still asked knowingly.

"If you go back to the father, they have already been placed in the outer courtyard. I plan to send them to leave the capital in the next few days to avoid further troubles. In addition, the two prisoners arrested yesterday were also sent to Uncle Jiu. Go, as for Sun Miao, the boy plans to postpone it for a few days before taking him back to the Ministry of Punishment, it will depend on Fourth Uncle's plans before making a decision."

The third master could ask casually, but Hong Qing had to deal with it carefully, so she leaned forward and explained all the arrangements made today.

"Well, you can handle this matter yourself. Well, the fourth guy has always been extreme in his actions. If he doesn't touch his head and break his blood, I'm afraid he won't compromise. If he insists on forcing it, the matter may have to be dealt with." It will take a long time to make a fuss, but Qing'er has to be more cautious about this one."

Although the third master knew Hongqing's ability early on, he was afraid that Hongqing would take it lightly after a series of victories, so he murmured and said something to Hongqing.

"Father taught me a lesson, and my boy also thought that my fourth uncle would not give up easily, and that the Ministry of punishment would be turned upside down in the next few days. This is why my boy was not in a hurry to hand over Sun Miao to my fourth uncle. It's just that the boy thought that the eighth uncle must have been prepared, no matter how thoroughly the fourth uncle investigates, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a big difference. The final outcome is to sign the alliance under the city. This is an opportunity that can be used, and it must be let Fourth Uncle will give more benefits, otherwise, the deputy presiding judge, Hai'er, will be in vain."

In terms of understanding of the fourth master, Hong Qing is much clearer than the third master, and is also much more afraid. Don't look at the fourth master who has been bumping into walls all the time, but his forbearance and tenacity are really incomparable. As long as he is given a slight chance, this guy can take advantage of the situation to come back. This point has been proved by everything that happened in Hong Qing's previous life. How dare Hong Qing have the slightest carelessness about such a person? I don't expect to defeat Si Ye in one fell swoop, what is needed is the kung fu of boiling a frog in warm water, and push Si Ye into the abyss bit by bit, no matter whether it is the rectification of the previous banner affairs, the payment of debts, or The current Ministry of Criminal Justice is handling the case for the same purpose, that is to let the old man fully see Si Ye's incompetence!Of course, such a thought involves Hong Qing's own privacy, but it is not enough for outsiders, even the third master is no exception. Because of this, Hong Qing did not explain her overall plan, but explained it on a case-by-case basis. some.

"Well, since Qing'er has made such preparations, I'm afraid it's not good. Well, what about the shortage of the doctor and the principal of the Ministry of Punishment that Fan Er said before, is there anyone to protect?"

What the third master was worried about was that Hong Qing would take it lightly, but he was not worried about Hong Qing's skill and ability to deal with the matter. After hearing what Hong Qing said was clear, he stopped talking. After a moment of pondering, he changed the topic to As for the extremely sensitive filling of vacancies, it was obvious that the third master was really greedy for Hong Qing's poaching of so many vacancies from the hands of the eighth master.

Well, father, father, you are too greedy, you always have to reach out to grab a handful of such positions, it is really too much to pluck!

Although the positions that Hong Qing extorted from Ba Ye this time were not very high, they were all fat vacancies, not to mention that all the vacancies among the three doctors had the qualifications to go to court. It is enough to make the foreign ministers rob their heads. Even if they are sold, there is no need to get 8000 taels of silver. The money is still a trivial matter. Brother Fifteen and Old Sixteen had sent people to the Ministry of Punishment. Now that the third master was so intrusive, it really made Hong Qing very angry.

"Father Wang Mingjian, in this matter, Uncle Fifteen and Uncle Sixteen have contributed a lot. The child promised that if he got something from Uncle Eight, Uncle Fifteen and Uncle Sixteen should arrange it. If necessary, the boy can discuss it with the two uncles, and it is not impossible to make compensation separately."

It is important to strengthen the strength of the third master, but after all, Hongqing must have her own team, right?Besides, as far as the third master's current power is concerned, he is already full-fledged, and if he earns more land, it may not be of great help to the great cause of seizing the heir, on the contrary, it may arouse the suspicion of the old man. Because of this, Hong Qing didn't intend to leave much room for the third master in the distribution of the spoils. If the third master didn't ask, Hong Qing wouldn't bother to talk about it. However, the third master still asked, Hong Qing Qing could only push the matter to the old fifteen brothers.

"Well, let's discuss it later."

The third master was obviously not very satisfied with Hong Qing's explanation, but it was not easy to force him, so he could only make a noncommittal statement, which was considered to have exposed the matter.
