Chapter 652 The Oriole and the Hunter ([-])
"My nephew was joking, but my uncle really doesn't know what my nephew said?"

The Twelfth Lord is not an ordinary person after all, even though he was so angry at what Hong Qing said, he quickly calmed down, forced himself a smile, and made a disapproving denial.

"Oh? In that case, could it be that my nephew misunderstood Twelfth Uncle? Could it be that Eighth Uncle never agreed to let Chen Busi and Qi Dazuo cooperate with Twelfth Uncle tomorrow morning?"

How can Hong Qing be so easily fooled, no matter how thoroughly the Twelfth Lord denies it, Hong Qing will not take it seriously, after a joking smile, she unceremoniously throws out a series of rhetorical questions.

"This..., hehe, I really don't know what my nephew is talking about."

As soon as Hong Qing revealed the income of Prince Lian's residence and his party, the Twelfth Lord's forehead immediately became sweaty, and his face turned pale because of it, but he still insisted on refusing to admit it.

"Hmm, it doesn't matter if Twelfth Uncle doesn't want to talk about it, so we can talk about the agreement between Hongli and Twelfth Uncle?"

Even though she knew that the old twelve was lying, Hong Qing didn't hold on to it, but said noncommittal, and changed the topic.

"Humph!"

Faced with Hong Qing's aggressive posture, the Twelfth Master was really furious. Although he was extremely afraid of Hong Qing and couldn't get mad on the spot, his expression was extremely ugly, and he snorted in extreme displeasure With a sound, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he already picked up the tea bowl and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

"It doesn't matter if Uncle Twelfth doesn't want to say it, but the little nephew can guess for himself. Hey, with Brother Li's vicious temper, he must have suggested Uncle Twelfth to ask for help from Uncle Eighth. The eighth uncle came to help, and then Lidi came forward to cooperate with the twelfth uncle in the name of the assistant of the Ministry of Industry, and subdued all the divisions and the doctor in one fell swoop. As for the price Lidi asked for, it must be extremely low, the so-called justice There must be a lot of nonsense like that?"

Hong Qing didn't pay any attention to Master Twelve's intention to see off the guests at all, and brushed off his clothes in a leisurely manner, raised her brows, and analyzed it with a sarcasm on her face, without saving any face for Master Twelfth at all.

"Crazy words, I don't know what to say!"

Hearing that Hong Qing casually revealed the confidential matter, as if he had witnessed it on the spot, Twelfth Master's heart was in a mess, but he refused to admit it, and instead acted in a fit of rage As if, he put the tea bowl in his hand on the table heavily, and sternly scolded.

"As the saying goes: if the sky does evil, you can still live, if you do your own evil, it is unforgivable! My nephew came here thinking of being friendly with Twelfth Uncle, and couldn't bear to sit and watch Twelfth Uncle sink, but unexpectedly, his good intentions were not forgiven. Forget it, my nephew has no choice but to go to Huang Mafa to deal with it."

Seeing Twelfth Master's embarrassment and anger, Hong Qing's face immediately turned gloomy, and she let out a harsh word without any scruples.

"Presumptuous, what are you talking about, are you trying to threaten the king?"

The old twelfth was in the fire, and he thought he had a good chance of winning tomorrow's event, so he bowed his head to Hongqing, slapped him a few times, and with an ashen face, he began to scold angrily.

"Threats? Uncle Twelve may have underestimated my nephew too much. Hey, I don't think I need my nephew to remind me of what Uncle Twelve has done in his own family?"

Hong Qing smiled coldly, shook her hands, and a booklet that had not been covered with yellow silk flew into the arms of the old twelve.

"Ah, this, this, this..."

Although the Twelfth Lord was in a rage, he didn't dare to be careless about the notebook that Hong Qing threw over, he hurriedly picked it up, and after flipping through it, his face instantly turned as white as paper, and the corners of his mouth trembled I can't say a complete sentence, there is nothing else, because the booklet records several covert activities of the Twelfth Master over the past ten years, including detailed records of his greed for ink and bribery when he distributed grain in Anhui, and The evidence that he secretly instigated his servants to wantonly annex the fields, and the crimes of many of his servants bullying others, taking bribes and breaking the law, once this chapter is presented to the old man, the twelfth master will not be kept in captivity, let alone keep his job in the Ministry of Industry It's all a matter of luck.

"Uncle Twelve can do it for himself, my nephew bids farewell!"

Before the Twelfth Lord could wake up from the shock, Hong Qing straightened her back, got up, and left a cold word, as if she was about to leave.

"Wait!"

Seeing that Hong Qing was about to leave, the Twelfth Master panicked, stood up abruptly, and yelled anxiously.

"Ok?"

When Master Twelfth shouted, Hong Qing was not in a hurry to leave. She turned around and looked at the past coldly. When she saw a murderous look in Master Twelfth's eyes, Hong Qing couldn't help but sneered. Get up, but what, but did not reveal, just snorted from the nostrils indifferently.

"Nephew, don't do this, you can discuss anything, come, sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

Hong Qing was not mistaken, the Twelfth Master did have murderous intentions before, but it was just a flash of thought and it was extinguished, there is nothing else, the Twelfth Master is not a vicious person after all, and he really is not like that. With the courage of a life-hunter, coupled with his rationality, he knows that even if he kills Hong Qing, he will not end well. Come here, how could he not make arrangements in advance, the Twelfth Lord has neither the guts nor the slightest confidence to be able to silence him, at this point, there is really no other way to go except to smile and apologize.

Hehe, it's a strange thing not to shed tears when you see the coffin, you don't have the stomach, but you want to eat hard, and you don't hold it to death!
Since the Twelfth Lord wanted to be subdued, Hong Qing would not be too selfish, and did not say much, but walked back to his original position with a blank face, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down. He despised the Twelfth Master fiercely in his heart, but he didn't show it, he just sat silently.

"Uncle Wei drank a few more glasses earlier, hehe, I was a little dizzy, I didn't speak well, please ask my nephew to be more generous."

With his lifeline being choked, Twelfth Lord has long since lost his previous arrogance, but this guy still has the ability to stretch and shrink, so he can really put down his face and play with Hong Qing without any grievances near.

"What is Uncle Twelfth talking about? It's all from my family. Is there any sympathy? There is still a bump between the upper and lower teeth. It's fine to say it. How can you take it seriously? .”

When it comes to face-changing tricks, Hong Qing's ability will only be higher than that of the Twelfth Lord, and will definitely not be inferior. Now that the Twelfth Lord has surrendered, Hong Qing is naturally happy to show generosity. Originally, Hong Qing Qing didn't intend to really punish the old twelve to death, the real person to deal with was Hongli, and even the eighth master was just hitting a sap along the way, so he wouldn't be serious with the old twelve no end.

"That's, that's, my nephew knows my heart, hehe, don't worry, my nephew, I don't dare to say anything for my uncle, but I will definitely do my best for the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, Xiao Guicao, after all, I can't let you down This is the painstaking effort of my virtuous nephew to create such a great family business."

After hearing Hong Qing's words, there was a clear intention of reconciliation, Twelfth Master's tense heartstrings were immediately loosened, but he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty with a smiling face.

"Uncle Twelfth's words are over. The current situation of the Ministry of Industry is due to the great kindness of Emperor Mafahong. As for the young nephew, he is just doing a job according to the order. I really dare not speak of merit. When my second uncle came to the Ministry of Industry, he just let it go, but those who dissipate their energy and benefit the country should be safe."

Since Master Twelfth expressed his loyalty, Hong Qing was happy to say a few words of kindness. The implication was that he was saying that the previous memorial would definitely not be handed over to the imperial court. The prerequisite is that Master Twelfth must be obedient What kind of moths are you playing, otherwise, you will be at your own peril.

"With nephew's words like this, Uncle can rest assured. The meeting tomorrow will be canceled by Uncle."

Hearing Hong Qing's words, Twelfth Master's heart could not help but feel dark, but he dared not complain, and hurriedly patted his chest to make a promise.

"Cancellation? Oh, there's no need for it. The Ministry of Industry hasn't discussed anything for a long time, so it's really time for a discussion between the students."

Hong Qing spent so much effort to lay out the game, not just to convince the Twelfth Master, otherwise, why bother to make so many twists and turns, to reveal the book that the Twelfth Master had read earlier, so why worry about the Twelfth Master Those who are disobedient, the reason why they spend a lot of trouble is to give Hongli and even the fourth master a hard blow. Naturally, they will not accept the suggestion of the twelfth master to calm things down. .

"This……"

Hearing Hong Qing's words, Twelfth Master couldn't help being taken aback, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, but still couldn't figure out what Hong Qing wanted to do, and his face inevitably changed.

"Is Uncle Twelve in trouble?"

Hong Qing waited silently for quite a while, seeing that Master Twelfth was still hesitating, the corners of her mouth twitched, revealing a mocking smile, and she asked a question in a slightly cold voice.

"Ah, no, how can it be, if nephew has any order, just say it clearly, but if uncle can do it, I dare not refuse!"

Hearing that Hong Qing's words were not right, Twelfth Master didn't dare to think about it any more, he quickly sat up straight, and expressed his position with a sense of complacency.

"Uncle Twelfth, don't be nervous. If this is the case, my nephew just has some ideas. Well, tomorrow's meeting will continue as usual. If some people want to perform, let them perform well. After all, I can't live up to it." Is it a painstaking effort, as for Uncle Twelve, it should be..."

Since the Twelfth Master expressed his attitude of fully cooperating, Hong Qing didn't make too much of a fuss, and slowly explained the arrangements for the response in detail, until the Twelfth Master's face turned red and then turned pale. It's not that Hong Qing's request is too complicated. On the contrary, there are not many things that Twelfth Lord really has to do. But the consequences will be obviously not so good for some people. Bear it, thinking of the possible revenge, Twelfth Master's heart can't help but tighten up...
