Zheng Ding's eyes stared at Yan Qi, aggressively.
The officials below looked over with questioning eyes without blinking.
The atmosphere was very serious.
If it were an ordinary person, being stared at like a wolf by a group of high-ranking officials would have softened him long ago.
However, Yan Qi is an anomaly.
The more you stare at him, the more excited he becomes.
This guy was born for the stage.
Yan Qi laughed.
Zheng Ding was furious: "Why are you laughing? Tell me, why don't you agree to this deal?"
Yan Qi said sonorously and forcefully: "In one sentence: Dahua's law is a magical tool that stabilizes the country and stabilizes the country. How can it be allowed to be traded?"
Zheng Ding's mind was buzzing.
Yan Qi's words put this matter on the line.
Everyone was silent.
Yan Qidao: "The laws of Dahua are not a rigid dogma. You can show mercy outside the law, you can have extenuating circumstances, and you can win forgiveness. But there is only one thing. Dahua Laws must not be used for transactions. This point, even for me, a businessman, They would never dare to take a step beyond the realm of possibility. Zheng Shangshu, as a high official of the imperial court, you actually have the courage to trade with the laws of Dahua. Do you... still want to be embarrassed?"
These words were like a harsh slap, making Zheng Ding's cheeks sore.
Yan Qidao: "As the dean of the Royal Academy, it is a proper thing for me to come here to ask for coal. As the Minister of Household Affairs, it is your duty to understand the people's sentiments and allocate coal to the students of the Royal Academy. However, Zheng Ding, you have made a deal with your due righteousness. Are you the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, or a profiteer?"
"You...what are you talking nonsense about? You are so presumptuous."
Zheng Ding was speechless.
He, who had always been sharp-tongued, was speechless when faced with Yan Qi's questioning.
Yan Qi asked loudly: "Your nephew, at a young age, robbed and accepted bribes. He relied on the power of your Zheng family to dominate and dominate. He guarded the gate of the Ministry of Household Affairs and acted like a big-tailed wolf, taking advantage of all officials when he came and went. What is this? When the household department is one-third of an acre of your Zheng family's land? Your nephew is so stubborn and his moral character is so corrupt. How can he correct himself if he doesn't taste the taste of cornbread in prison? "
"I also know what Zheng Shangshu is thinking. Don't you just want your nephew to have a criminal record, so as not to affect his future promotion? I will tell you honestly: with your nephew's character and virtue, he is not qualified to be an official, even if he is nine He is not qualified to be a Pinzhiguan official."
These words were loud and impactful, leaving Zheng Ding unable to resist.
Zheng Ding staggered, panting like an ox.
"Yan Qi, you...don't you regret it?"
Yan Qi suddenly smiled: "Why should I regret it? I've made it clear that I came to the Ministry of Accounts to do legitimate business, not to do business. To be blunt, I am a businessman, and you are not doing business in front of me. Is it like a three-year-old child reciting poems and composing poems in front of a distinguished person? It’s ridiculous, it’s so ridiculous.”
What he said was heartless.
Zheng Ding has always been eloquent, but under Yan Qi's all-round verbal attack, he was unable to resist. He remained silent except for silence.
All the officials looked at Yan Qi with big eyes and small eyes, unable to refute a word.
In my heart, there is admiration, envy, and jealousy.
They also particularly wanted to show off their authority like Yan Qi.
But, just think about it.
First, he has no courage, second, he has no ability, and third, he does not have the eloquence.
The most important thing is the fourth point: My father-in-law is not as rogue as Yan Qi.
Zheng Ding's heart was filled with fire.
"Yan Qi, you have the guts, haha, you have the guts, you don't want to make a deal, right? Okay, okay, I'm telling you clearly now, you don't want the coal from the Royal Academy. I won't give it to you this year , I won’t give it to you next year, and I won’t give it to you the year after that. Moreover, don’t want any of the construction costs, book fees, and various subsidies allocated every year.”
"In short, I am here to make it clear that as long as I sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, your Royal Academy will not get a penny from the Ministry of Revenue. Do you hear me? Don't even expect to get a penny."
When Zheng Ding spoke, he frowned and gritted his teeth.
He hated it to the extreme.
The officials below were also frightened into silence and did not dare to say a word.
They couldn't understand why Yan Qi ignored a good deal and insisted on being arrogant and telling some truth, which angered Zheng Ding.
This is not what a smart person does.
Yan Qi is so smart, how could he not see through the mystery?
Yan Qi looked at Zheng Ding and suddenly smiled: "Okay, I remember Zheng Shangshu's words. As long as you are in office, you will not allocate a penny to the Royal Academy, right?"
Zheng Ding straightened his back: "Ran Ye!"
Yan Qi nodded: "Okay, I understand. This is the first thing. It's over. Now, let me ask you the second thing."
Zheng Ding snorted: "What's the matter? Come on, I don't have time to hang around with you here."
Yan Qi said: "The old master from Guoping came to ask for coal. Why did you order the guards to kick him out of the door?"
Hearing this, Zheng Ding's eyes flashed with contempt: "Dean Yan, do you pay attention to your words when you speak? Is that called beating? That is called driving away! The people of Guoping are unreasonable and shouting in the household department, which affects other people's behavior. In order to keep the household clean, I had no other choice, so I ordered the officers to drive away the people from Guoping. What’s wrong with this? Remember, it’s to drive away, drive away.”
"Driving away?"
Yan Qidao: "If it is really so easy to drive away, why does the old master have injuries on his legs and blood marks on his waist? He staggers and staggers when walking?"
Zheng Ding's expression became even more contemptuous: "The Guoping man fell down on his own, but I can't blame him. He is old and has inconvenient legs and feet. It is reasonable for him to fall carelessly when he walks."
Yan Qi nodded slowly, his eyes flashing with sharp light: "Zheng Shangshu's words are completely irresponsible. His words and deeds are no different from those of street gangsters."
Zheng Ding said: "Shut up, who is a gangster or a gangster? If you continue to talk nonsense and ruin my reputation, I will definitely sue you for slander."
Yan Qidao: "To say that you are a gangster is to flatter you. Master Guo was obviously injured by you, but you still dare to say that Master Guo was injured by himself. Can you not be so shameless?"
Zheng Ding insisted: "He was injured by the fall himself."
Yan Qi was furious: "You still dare to quibble? Falling and being beaten are two kinds of injuries. One test will show that this is physical evidence. Tang Bufan and Mr. Guo traveled together. Tang Bufan can testify for Mr. Guo. This is It's human testimony. Both human and physical evidence are there, and the iron-clad facts are in front of you. Zheng Ding, let me see how you can prevaricate?"
Zheng Ding was in trouble and was about to explode with anger.
With the wound as physical evidence and Tang Bufan as certification, he wanted to prevaricate. Is it possible?
What a prevarication.
Zheng Ding couldn't stop him, so he showed his fox tail and smashed the jar: "So what if I beat the people of Guoping? Hubu is my one-third-acre land. If he screams here, it won't work. I will beat him with a stick." , that’s right, huh, I was too gentle, why didn’t I beat the Guoping people to death?”
What he said was absolutely vicious.
