Kowloon wins

Chapter 706

"My nephew's words are too much, my uncle dare not give any serious advice."

The fourth master thought that Hong Qing could be sent away by taking the two positions in the second treasury, but he never thought that Hong Qing would be able to get away cheaply. He cut Hong Qing alive with a knife, just wanted to think about it, but it was absolutely impossible to do so, so in desperation, he could only reply meaningfully.

"Hehe, fourth uncle is too modest. You have been in charge of the household department for more than ten years. I'm afraid there is nothing in this household department that you don't know. If my nephew has doubts, I can only ask you for advice, right?"

The fourth master's words are cold, and he is basically warning Hong Qing not to go too far. If this is the case, his fourth master will come to his death. Such a threat is too obvious, Hong Qing naturally It's not impossible to hear it, but Hong Qing didn't take it to heart at all, so she just laughed and flattered Fourth Master in a meaningful way.

"Humph!"

Although Hong Qing said this with a smile, it was obvious that there was no good intention inside. Fourth master is not stupid, so how could he not hear it? It was a cold snort.

"Fourth Uncle, if my nephew remembers correctly, during the court meeting more than ten days ago, Fourth Uncle said that the treasury bank of the household department has bottomed out. I wonder if it is true?"

Fourth Master's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but Hong Qing turned a blind eye to it, shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, and continued speaking on his own.

"Humph!"

Hearing that there was obviously an ambush hidden in Hong Qing's words, Fourth Master naturally refused to answer directly, and snorted again noncommittally.

"Hey, what Fourth Uncle said is actually reasonable. Not counting those long-term debts, there are indeed only 980 taels in the treasury. Is this number right?"

Hong Qing came here to find fault, no matter how bad Si Ye's attitude was, Hong Qing still kept asking questions in a leisurely manner.

"Not bad!"

Fourth Master didn't want to pay any attention to Hong Qing's question, but after being stared at by Hong Qing for a long time, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he had no choice but to let out a shriveled groan.

"That's fine, tsk tsk, it's really not easy to play with such a small amount of money. I'm afraid it will be difficult to pay for a year's military expenses. If my nephew is in the position of fourth uncle, I'm afraid it will be a headache. , it is really difficult."

After Fourth Master replied, Hong Qing got more excited, smacked her lower lip, and talked a lot for Fourth Master's sake, and when she appeared tired, Fourth Master was really confused.

"Um……"

Fourth Master wasn't known for his eloquence, and his eloquence was just so-so. At this moment, he really didn't know how to respond to the other party, so he could only speak noncommittally.

"When the fourth uncle is in such a difficult situation, there is a villain who dares to make trouble in the dark. How can my nephew tolerate such a scoundrel? Today, I have no choice but to raise a three-foot sword to get rid of the rats in the court!"

As soon as Fourth Master spoke so arrogantly, Hong Qing suddenly changed his face, but when he saw him slapping those around him suddenly, he cursed out of righteous indignation, and the murderous aura on his body suddenly grew.

"Why did my nephew say that?"

The fourth master has always been serious, and he has a great evil spirit, but compared to Hong Qing, a master who has rolled in the battlefield, he is far behind. At this moment, he was stunned by the strong murderous spirit emanating from Hong Qing. He frowned furiously, and was really afraid that he would make a big fuss in the household department regardless, so he had no choice but to slow down his tone, and asked a question as tactfully as possible.

"Wouldn't Fourth Uncle still be kept in the dark?"

Upon hearing Fourth Master's question, the anger on Hong Qing's face was immediately replaced by suspicion. After looking at Fourth Master in amazement for a long time, he asked back in doubt.

"Huh? How do you say this?"

The fourth master was really confused, he frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Hong Qing's gourd. In desperation, he had no choice but to speak cautiously. One sound.

"Could it be that fourth uncle really doesn't know?"

Hong Qing is a master of tricks, now that she has controlled the rhythm of the conversation, she is very happy to play with Fourth Master, she is not in a hurry to solve the mystery, but asks a question in a surprised and inexplicable manner.

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

Seeing Hong Qing acting like this, Fourth Master felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly raw, but at this time Hong Qing came by order, no matter how angry Fourth Master was, he couldn't lose his temper. Following Hong Qing's meaning, she asked unwillingly.

"Oh, it turns out that the fourth uncle was really kept in the dark. Fortunately, my nephew thought that Mu Rong's bastards were acting on the order of my fourth uncle. Hey, it's fortunate that my nephew came to ask my fourth uncle , if not, I'm afraid I'm going to wrong a good person, it's dangerous, it's dangerous!"

Hong Qing exaggeratedly reached out and wiped the sweat on her forehead that had no trace at all, let out a sigh of relief as if she had been relieved, and talked a lot with emotion.

"Mu Rong? Is this guy doing something private again?"

As soon as Hong Qing mentioned the name of Zhejiang official minister Zhong Murong, the fourth master's face immediately twitched. Because of his intentions, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, probably because what Mu Rong and others did was hinted by his fourth master. Of course, the cooperation of the eighth master was also indispensable. Needless to say, such things cannot be put on the stage Yes, even though Fourth Master understood Hong Qing's calculations, he didn't dare to admit it seriously, so he really could only pretend to be confused in aggrieved manner.

"Fourth Uncle, you are working hard to plan for military expenditures, but Mu Rong and others are secretly making troubles without telling you. Hey, the summer income of five provinces such as Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hubei has not been accounted for until now, and has never been recorded. There is no reason for it to be released into the warehouse. According to my nephew, this gang of bastards is really too rampant. They dare to leak the accounts of more than 820 taels of silver. My nephew really can't see it. The matter must be investigated to the end, hmph! My nephew has now taken the imperial envoy to guard against this gang of villains, and will have a good trial to see who gave them the courage to act so recklessly!"

It didn't matter if Fourth Master asked such a question, Hong Qing's face immediately darkened, and she yelled at the case, cursing angrily, assuming that she was determined to hold on to the case.

"There is such a thing? This..., um, nephew, let's calm down, let uncle check it out and see how the situation goes before we decide?"

Seeing Hong Qing turning her face faster than turning a book, Fourth Master really felt distressed, but it happened to be with Hong Qing at this moment, even if Fourth Master wanted to lose his temper, he had nowhere to lose it, and he was afraid of Hong Qing's anger. Qing got up and made a fuss, and in the end, his fourth master would have to suffer, how could he really agree to Hong Qing's proposal, and hurriedly persuaded Hong Qing with gentle words.

"Investigate, we must conduct a thorough investigation. This matter will not be finished until the truth is found out. Mr. Zhao, please go and call for someone. This king will go to the court to ask the case!"

Hong Qing is not such a foolish master, she couldn't be moved by Fourth Master's so innocuous words, stomped her feet angrily, scolded, and ordered Zhao Shenqiao to prepare for his promotion.

"twitter!"

Seeing that Hongqing played the fourth master around, Zhao Shenqiao felt very relieved, and promised loudly with a suppressed smile, and turned around, as if to go out.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Zhao Shenqiao was going to leave, the fourth master couldn't stand still, nothing else, this matter couldn't stand the investigation at all, if it was really going to be investigated, how could the fourth master get away with it, and don't speak lies to deceive the king It's a serious crime, and it's also a fault of poor management. If it comes to the old man, the fourth master will really lose his face and face.

"Huh? Is Fourth Uncle planning to cover up those villains?"

As soon as Fourth Master came out like this, Hong Qing's face immediately turned ugly, and the question was filled with chills, and if there was a big disagreement, she wanted to ask for an imperial decree.

"My nephew misunderstood, this matter is no small matter, the current situation is not clear, if there is a disturbance in the household department, it will be very detrimental to the country, if it affects the military supply ahead, it must not be a joke, hehe, my nephew calm down first , if there is anything to discuss, just discuss it slowly, come on, sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

Even though Hong Qing's hard words made her chest feel tight and painful, but at the moment, the fourth master did not dare to act according to his temper, so he could only forcefully smile and got up, and walked to Hong Qing with a few strides. Beside Qing, he tried to comfort her in good and bad ways.

"Fourth Uncle laughed, and my nephew was outraged for a moment. You're right. It's good to discuss this matter slowly. Ah, Fourth Uncle, you sit down too. There's nothing wrong with it. It just so happens that Mr. Zhao also Now, how about we wait for the three of us to have a discussion on this?"

In fact, Hong Qing didn't intend to make matters worse, it's not that she didn't want to, but she couldn't, there was nothing else, the old man couldn't get through that test, if things really blew up, Si Ye and the others certainly would have nothing to eat Well, Hong Qing herself can't help but suffer, being punished is a trivial matter, being suspected by the old man is the big trouble for her life, now, since the fourth master has the intention of negotiating peace in private, Hong Qing is happy to obey her orders last time, Of course, one must strike while the iron is hot, and Hong Qing didn't intend to give Fourth Master any chance to recover, so she hurriedly put forward a request for discussion.

"Well……"

Although the fourth master didn't want to make this matter a big deal, he didn't want to discuss matters with Hong Qing when everything was going down, but it was really hard to say the words of refusal for a while, so he could only pretend to mutter faltering.

"My nephew is aware of my fourth uncle's difficulties, that's all, my nephew doesn't dare to bother my uncle, so let's go to the court to ask the case, and the infamous nephew left and right will bear it alone!"

Seeing that the fourth master was still thinking about how to get out at this point, Hong Qing was upset, she put on a straight face, stood up again, dropped a scene in a dignified manner, and raised her foot to make a gesture went out...
