Looking at the Fu brothers, Chu Qing was astonished.
Before Chu Qing could speak, Nangong Ping frowned and said, "How can you use money to make people register?"
Fu Yongkang thought that Nangong Ping was worried about money, and said happily: "After making a book, you issue a guarantee, and when they go to work in the future, they can earn back the one hundred cash. This is short-sighted."
Fu Baobao: "Short-sighted."
Hua Wenwu: "Shut up!"
Chu Qing: "What a talent!"
Hua Wenwu: “…”
"That's it!" Chu Qing snatched the banknote from Fu Baobao's hand and handed it to Nangong Ping: "Quick, hurry up and let the news out, that's it."
"Master Chu, if this is the case, wouldn't it be..."
"Stop talking nonsense, do it or not. If not, I'll replace you with someone else."
"Do it, do it, students will go now."
Taking the banknote, Nangong Ping ran out of the greenhouse.
Suddenly enlightened, Chu Qing understood the people in the capital so well. Let alone one hundred coins, fifty coins, thirty coins, even ten coins, the people would flock to him. But once the people came, a large number of manpower would be needed. Maintain order and change banknotes into "change".
"Go back to Beijing immediately, dispatch people, and go to the bank to exchange money."
The problem that had troubled Chu Qing for many days was solved. Chu Qing took Fu San and eight Tan Ma and ran out, got on the carriage, and drove to the city.
Nangong Ping left, and so did Chu Qing and others. Only three people from the Fu family were left in the large shed.
The boss and the second looked at each other.
"Brother, do we still make a register?"
"How about waiting a little longer, we haven't seen Miss Bihua yet."
Hua Wenwu cursed loudly: "I'm going back home immediately. I've been causing trouble all day long. You dare to offend the people of Qianqi Camp. It's really disrespectful."
Fu Baobao looked aggrieved: "I haven't seen the little lady yet."
"See you soon, I'll find you a fatter one in a few days."
"Just being fat is not enough, you also need to have strength."
"Yes, your thighs need to be thicker than Erye's waist."
…………
In Zhang Mansion, Zhang Songling, who had just left court, did not return to the Office of the Ministry of Rites, but went directly back to the Mansion, preparing to take a nap.
Just as she was lying on the bed, the housekeeper came to report that Lu Zhu was back and asked to see her.
Zhang Songling struggled to get up from the bed and nodded.
Recently, the construction and material shops in Beijing were all under the control of Lu Zhu. If he came back to see him at this time, there must be something urgent.
After Lu Zhu walked in, she turned around and closed the door.
Zhang Songling asked in a deep voice: "Something happened?"
"What happened? I have good news for you." Luzhu walked over and chuckled: "Master, it seems we have misunderstood Mr. Chu."
"what for?"
"Recently, there have been a lot of people buying stones in the capital. A few days ago, I was wondering if Mr. Chu was trying to cause trouble. It turns out that's not the case." Lu Zhu said while making a cup of tea for Zhang Songling: " It turns out that there was an earthquake in Youzhou and Haicheng, which caused many mountains to collapse and many official roads to be destroyed. Many places were unable to open mountains, so many merchants from other places came to the capital to buy stones."
Zhang Songling frowned and said, "Where did you know that?"
"No, many businessmen from other places came to the capital. They bought stones during the day and went to the fireworks place to have fun at night. They were talking about this. The sisters from the past heard about it. Today they came to Nu to reminisce about the past, so they mentioned this After asking about the matter in detail, I also asked many people about it, that’s how it is.”
"Oh I got it."
Zhang Songling looked at Lvzhu with a bit of suspicion on his face: "It turns out that the stone is to be transported out of the capital. However, since Youzhou and Haicheng are the ones causing trouble, why didn't the imperial court know about it?"
When he said this, Zhang Songling stared at Luzhu closely, not missing the slightest change in his expression.
Lu Zhu handed over the tea cup and said with a chuckle: "How could I know this? In short, this is what the sisters said. Master, since Master Chu is not trying to cause trouble, does the shop still charge a deposit?"
"If this is really the case, it will naturally be collected. However, I haven't seen Commander Chu recently. I don't know how much stone has been quarried in Xiao County. You should go back first, and I will tell you later whether I will accept a deposit."
"Okay, has the slave returned to the shop?"
"Just go."
"You really want me to leave." Luzhu gave Zhang Songling a big wink: "There is no one in the shop this afternoon, how can I serve you?"
Zhang Songling smiled and said, "I'm a little tired today, so let's go back to the shop."
"Then rest. I'm going back."
Luzhu smiled and pushed away the house. As soon as she went out, a sneer flashed across her face.
She was just testing him on purpose, and as expected, Zhang Songling became suspicious.
Normally, even if she didn't speak, Zhang Songling would hold her in his arms and not let her go. Today, he said he was tired and drove her away in a hurry.
Little did they know that Lu Zhu was deliberately vague just to make Zhang Songling suspicious.
After Luzhu left Zhang's mansion, Zhang Songling called the old housekeeper of the mansion.
"At night, order people to go to Huachuan and the brothel to inquire about it, and ask those prostitutes if they have really heard that there is an earth dragon on the east side."
The old housekeeper said "yes" and exited the room.
Zhang Songling was no longer in the mood to take a nap, and sat on a stool worrying about gains and losses.
If it was true as Lu Zhu said and Chu Qing didn't trick him, it would be a good thing. After all, with Qianqiying "cooperating" with him and the blueprint drawn by Chu Qing for him, his Zhang family would definitely become the richest man in Beijing.
But when he thought that Chu Qing didn't cheat him, he couldn't betray him, and he had Chu Qing's black information. If he got Chu Qing with this black information, then the Yaxing and Che Qing in this kid's hands would be ruined. If the horse moves, it will definitely be in his pocket.
After much thought, Zhang Songling made a decision.
If Chu Qing didn't trick him, then he would trick Chu Qing and send people to win over Tao Weiran, the magistrate of Xiao County. The province would be blocked by Chu Qing, and he would wait for the first batch of materials to be transported to the middle of the capital before using them. Chu Qing's "private embezzlement" of businessmen's tax money plunged the deputy commander of Qianqiying into a place of eternal destruction.
In an instant, a plan for Chu Qing was hatched, and Zhang Songling, who was sitting alone in the room, showed a serious expression.
It's good that Chu Qing was the deputy commander of the Emperor's personal army, but precisely because of this status, he died faster!
As long as the "misappropriation" of merchants' tax money is widely publicized, and then a letter of impeachment is created to create an illusion to the courtiers that it is not Chu Qing's "embezzling" but the emperor's desire to "embezzle", by then, the emperor will definitely lose his reputation. Che Baoshuai, he will go to the Supreme Emperor to discuss it again. At least 60% of Chu Qing's "industry" will belong to his Zhang family!
Time passed by minute by minute, and Zhang Songling did not leave the Zhang Mansion until the evening. It was not until after Hai hour that the housekeeper came back.
"Sir, that's the case. Hua Chuan and the brothel asked more than thirty people privately. Among them, eight brothel girls heard the benefactor mention the earth dragon and said that merchants from outside the capital were grabbing work materials."
Zhang Songling showed a smile: "Go and tell Lvzhu that starting from tomorrow, we will collect a deposit. The price of the materials will also increase by 30%."
"Then I'll go look for the green beads now?"
"One more thing, send someone to follow Luzhu secretly. If she comes into contact with the troops of Qianqi Camp, they will trick her into killing her outside the city and ruin her appearance."
The butler's expression changed slightly: "Sir, is Luzhu from Qianqi Camp?"
"No, it's rumored that Qianqiying is the best at secretly bribing concubines and servants in courtiers' mansions. Luzhu was brought into Qianqiying's government office from the beginning."
"Are you worried that Luzhu has been bribed?"
"Probably not. If he is bribed by people from Qianqi Camp, he will not tell me about Chu Qing's misappropriation of businessmen's tax money. But just be prepared for a rainy day and send someone to keep an eye on him."
The old housekeeper said yes, left the house, and then left the Zhang Mansion.
The old housekeeper, who was in a state of confusion and had been living in the Zhang Mansion for at least twenty years, came to a dark alley.
At the end of the alley, Wang Tongtong and Lu Zhu were eating naan cakes.
The old housekeeper walked over quickly: "Master Zhang is indeed suspicious."
He said everything Zhang Songling told him in detail.
Lu Zhu cursed bitterly: "This old coffin is really vicious and wants to ruin my appearance."
Wang Tongtong was not very surprised and looked at the old housekeeper: "I know, go back quickly."
The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Then when will you release the old man's daughter-in-law?"
"The peace of mind is that when the matter is done, the person will be released naturally."
At this point, Wang Tongtong's expression changed and he said coldly: "If it doesn't happen, don't blame me, Qian Qiying, for being ruthless. Your son and daughter-in-law from the lower county, as well as your daughter-in-law's grandson, will be buried with you!"
"Yes, yes, the old man doesn't dare, absolutely not."
"Go back before anyone sees you."
"good."
The old housekeeper had a bitter look on his face and responded with a forced smile before walking out of the alley.
After the old man walked away, Luzhu burst into laughter.
Wang Tongtong asked: "What are you laughing at?"
"You, Qianqi Camp, are always scary."
Wang Tongtong asked strangely: "How do you know I'm scaring him?"
"I took him with him to find him. How could I not know? I gave the residence of Butler Zhao's relatives to Mr. Jiang. I went there that day too. My daughter-in-law there, tsk tsk tsk, is there, you Qianqi camp." You serve me like you serve me, and you don’t even dare to let out a fart.”
"Oh, I just want to scare this old man." Wang Tongtong himself was also happy: "Yesterday, I heard from my brother that the big-bellied woman is too damn hard to take care of. She lives in a courtyard in Bei City and will eat this for a while. , when they wanted to eat there, the legs of the brothers were broken, and his husband-in-law was even more irritated. He even asked the brothers in the government office if they could hold them hostage until his mother-in-law gave birth to the child. "
Luzhu laughed so hard that her flower branches trembled, and then bumped Wang Tongtong with her shoulder: "Master Wang, tell me, can Qianqi Camp recruit a female detective as an exception to the rule?"
"You want to come?"
"I want to, even in my dreams, I don't need a salary to make it happen." Luzhu showed a longing smile: "If you become a member of Qianqi Camp, let's see who dares to bully us two."
"Then why don't you find a husband?"
"Don't dare to look for her. If she does, my ugly girl will definitely be offended." Luzhu looked at Wang Tongtong with a smile: "Master Wang, how about you talk to Master Chu, if they don't want a salary, I can give you money. "
"How can Qianqi Camp recruit female Tanma? There is no such precedent..."
Halfway through, Wang Tongtong was suddenly stunned.
"Why don't you speak?"
Wang Tongtong shook his head, said nothing, and looked a little confused.
Recruiting women to explore horses is logically impossible.
But now in the Qianqiying Yamen Office, the original Commander Chen rarely shows up recently. Mr. Jiang, who usually talks and laughs informally, is sprayed like a grandson by the new Commander Chu every day, and this Commander Chu...
For some reason, Wang Tongtong felt that if Commander Chu had always been in charge, Qianqi Camp would not be surprised if he recruited a few local dogs, let alone female Tanma.
