As Chu Qing expected, the "MLM"-style development attracted countless people.
Suddenly, the greenhouse was overcrowded, and all the Qianqi battalion's detective horses were dispatched to maintain order. Tong Gui led a group of palace guards to divert the troops outside.
The people came quickly but did not leave quickly because they wanted portraits.
When Changxian saw this, he didn't know that he wanted to paint until the Year of the Monkey, so he ran back to the palace and captured several old men, all of whom were good at painting.
Chu Qing looked at the crowd of people and showed a relieved smile.
His plans are intertwined with each other. If any part of the plan is not done well, the success will fall short, and the whole family will be destroyed easily.
Chu Qing's money was spent like running water.
There is not much money to develop offline. Looking at the large number of people, it actually does not require much money. The main reason is that the paper is too expensive. It is impossible to draw portraits on bamboo slips. All used are yellow paper, which is expensive.
The craze for registering has lasted for four days, and many people have already started to look like the real thing.
On the fifth day, Tao Weiran returned to Beijing in an extremely low-key manner and went straight to Qianqi Camp. It was still night and someone called Chu Qing from the Chu Mansion.
As soon as he entered the class room, Chu Qing was startled.
"Why have you lost so much weight?"
Tao Weiran, who looked haggard, sighed, more silently than loudly.
Tao Weiran could swear to God that he originally thought that the people of the three East China Sea areas near the sea were cunning enough, but when he arrived in Xiao County, he realized who was the king of the cunning people.
As for the people in Xiao County, I don't know whether they were born that way or were frightened by Li Mu's bullying, so they all played tricks.
Mining mountains and quarrying rocks, okay, no problem, you get paid once a day.
Registration, OK, no problem. The county magistrate has to write a letter and agree to go to Jingzhao Mansion to create a household registration within a few days. If the registration is not done, Xiao County Magistrate Tao Weiran will have a baby and be reincarnated as a dog in the next life. If they die, they must make a written agreement per household and have Tao Weiran sign it.
After mining for a day, they refused to recognize the banknotes and asked for copper coins. More than 30 strong young men followed Tao Weiran to collect their wages, and they ran away as if they were trying to default on their debts.
The words are not pleasant either. Some of them are older and gossip every day. Why is it that the new county magistrate treats us so well? He must not hold his shit in well. He might be worse than Li Mu. In short, the villagers will do it first. We'll make money every day, and when his true colors are exposed, we'll fall out together again. This time we'll learn to be smarter, and we'll go to the capital to file a lawsuit together and kill this bastard named Tao.
So Tao Weiran has been losing weight for more than half a month. He has to lead people to work in the mountains and quarry, and he has to hand out the money himself. After that, he has to write letters to the people of Xiao County. The most disgusting thing is However, the people still did not appreciate his good deeds and were mainly divided into two groups. One group felt that the new county magistrate was a big mistake and had no place to spend money. The other group firmly believed that Tao Weiran was holding back his evil deeds.
Not to mention that good people are bullied and good horses are ridiculed. In the past, Li Mu adopted a high-pressure policy. This group of unscrupulous people did not dare to let go of anything. If anyone made trouble, he would disappear in less than twelve hours, and the people would all be gone. Can't leave Xiao County.
Tao Weiran was gentle, but it turned out that the people of Xiao County were bullying others by saying that if you are tough, I will be soft, and if you are soft, I will be tough.
Tao Weiran, who had lost at least twenty kilograms, stood up as if he was dying, saluted, and called Master Chu.
"Sit down, sit down and talk."
Chu Qing felt that Tao Weiran's state was similar to that of an advanced stage. He was afraid that his eyes would turn black and he would faint and not be able to sleep again.
"Master Chu, we have almost mined the stones." Tao Weiran said angrily: "After you finish fighting Zhang Songling, can you give up your official position and find a way to survive?"
"A way out?" Chu Qing was confused: "What do you mean?"
"As the magistrate of Xiao County, I really can't do it as a low-ranking official. No matter how you plan, I'm begging you as a current official. Please hurry up."
Tao Weiran looked at Chu Qing pitifully: "Xiaoguan, I really can't stand it anymore."
Chu Qing looked helpless: "Keep on holding on."
Although Tao Weiran was dragged into the thief's boat, this did not mean that Chu Qing would unconditionally trust this official who also came from a wealthy family.
In addition to arranging two Qianqi battalion scouts to protect Tao Weiran in the open, Chu Qing also sent people to keep an eye on Tao Weiran in private.
Chu Qing generally understood what happened in Xiao County.
So he understood Tao Weiran very well. The unruly people in Xiao County were not very particular. Of course, he didn't blame these people. The main reason was that Li Mu had given them a hard time.
Tao Weiran sighed again.
He also knew that it would not take a blink of an eye to bring down the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, but when he thought of the dire straits in Xiao County, his tonsils swelled.
"It's almost time, please bear with me." Chu Qing poured a cup of tea for Tao Weiran and said with a smile: "I won't hide it from you, the shop under Zhang Songling's name has started to collect deposits again. This bastard is greedy and wants to improve himself. Thirty percent of the price, and compensation was also written in the contract.”
Tao Weiran was so smart: "I understand, Master Chu. What you mean is that if the stone is not delivered by the date, he will lose everything?"
"That's pretty much it."
Seeing that Chu Qing had confessed to him, Tao Weiran didn't bother to hide it, frowned and said: "But have you ever thought about it, Mr. Chu? Some of Zhang Songling's money flowed into the palace. The lower official thought that this Ministry of Rites What makes the Right Minister fearful is not his wealth, but his backers, the backers in the palace."
"It shouldn't be a big problem. King Langya has already mentioned this matter to the emperor. Although the emperor didn't express his position, he didn't say much."
Although he said this, there was still a bit of sadness and uncertainty between Chu Qing's brows.
Tao Weiran noticed Chu Qing's expression, but didn't say anything.
Now that things have happened, now that they have boarded the pirate ship, whether they succeed or not, they have to continue to follow Chu Qing until the end.
After chatting casually for a few more words, Tao Weiran took his leave, and Chu Qing was too lazy to go back home and continue sleeping.
After going through the entire plan in his mind, Chu Qing finally remembered that he had forgotten something.
Quickly asking Fu San to call Jiang Yuesheng in, Chu Qing quickly asked: "Is there anyone else watching over Gan Yongmei?"
Jiang Yuesheng has been very busy these days, and his face is full of exhaustion: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Are you alive and well?"
"That's true."
Speaking of Gan Yongmei, Jiang Yuesheng also asked slightly strangely: "Didn't you say a few days ago that the Ministry of Revenue would deal with this person? Why is there still no news?"
"I'm also surprised. At that time, at the Ministry of Revenue, Lao Qiu said that he was in charge of Gan Yongmei."
"Lao Qiu... Qiu Wanshan, the right servant of the Ministry of Finance?"
"Yeah, you know this guy."
Jiang Yuesheng's expression was a little strange: "I know a thing or two."
As soon as Chu Qing saw this expression, he knew that Jiang Yuesheng must have nothing good to say about Lao Qiu, so he said to himself: "No, Lao Qiu usually acts vigorously and resolutely, why did it take so long this time?"
"Master Qiu, can you tell me what method you will use?"
"Didn't say."
Jiang Yuesheng suddenly became unhappy: "Why didn't you ask clearly about such an important matter?"
"Brother, Mr. Wei was present at that time. Lao Qiu's method of punishing people must be inconvenient to say in front of Mr. Wei and other adults in the household department. He is shameless."
Jiang Yuesheng didn't say anything. Judging from the meaning, he didn't agree with Qiu Wanshan's shame.
While this was still going on, Wang Tongtong suddenly broke in: "Two adults, something happened."
Jiang Yuesheng's expression changed slightly: "What happened?"
"Gan Yongmei, die...die!"
Jiang Yuesheng took a breath: "Dead?"
"Yes, not only Gan Yongmei, but also Wakuo, a wealthy businessman in the capital. Wakuo and his son were also seriously injured. They are in the hospital, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead."
"Wakuo?" Chu Qing's face was full of confusion: "Isn't Wakuo also one of Zhang Songling's henchmen?"
"So, the two families fought, causing heavy casualties. Gan Yongmei was killed on the spot."
"Buy one, get one free?" Chu Qing took a breath: "What's going on?"
"I don't know the specific reason for my humble job. I just heard from Hu Wu and the others that Gan Yongmei went to the flower boat earlier tonight as he did in the past. After half an hour of happiness on the top floor of the flower boat, the people downstairs heard the sound of quarreling and fighting. , it turns out that the person who slept with Gan Yongmei was the son of Cakuo. No, no, no, he was not the son of Cakuo. Looking at it, the son of Cakuo must have been drunk and was humiliated by Gan Yongmei. However, I didn’t hear that Gan Yongmei liked men. Wind."
"Wait a minute and let me figure it out." Chu Qing was dumbfounded: "Chu Kuo's son went to the flower boat. He drank too much and was forced to sleep by Gan Yongmei?"
"I don't even know about my humble position. That's probably how it should be."
"Then the child of Xu Kuo goes back to his father and asks his father to kill Gan Yongmei?"
"It's not that, it's a coincidence. Wa Kuo was on the same flower boat at the time. Hearing the quarrel, he realized that it was his son who ran out with his pants up and cried bitterly. Gan Yongmei chased him out and loudly defended him. I don’t even remember it, and in the end I had a big fight with Gan Yongmei, and Gan Yongmei was still yelling something, but he didn’t even know that it was the son of Wakuo.”
"Damn it, it's not such a coincidence, and I've seen Wa Kuo, who is as skinny as a monkey. Even with his entourage, can he be beaten to death by Gan Yongmei?"
"That's not true. A knife was used. The person sitting at the same table with Wa Kuo was an official. He handed Wa Kuo a knife. The red-eyed Wa Kuo then stabbed Gan Yongmei to death."
"Official?"
Wang Tongtong recalled: "Yes, Hu Wu said that the official was from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he seemed to be a minister."
Chu Qing was completely stunned.
Jiang Yuesheng looked at Chu Qing with a strange expression and understood. He understood why Qiu Wanshan didn't say in public what his intentions were.
Another detective ran in: "Sir, something happened."
Jiang Yuesheng felt a little nervous: "What's wrong?"
"Tou Fu, Tou Xun Bo's house was broken into."
"Surfing Uncle Xun, Zhang Songling's die-hard loyalist?"
"Yes, that's the person."
Jiang Yuesheng asked quickly: "Who broke into the house?"
"Gan Yongmei's relatives and their servants, armed with knives and sticks, as well as wax Kuo's relatives and the servants of the wax mansion, two groups broke into Tou's house."
Jiang Yuesheng's brain was completely out of ideas: "Liang Zi, Gan Yongmei and Cakuo, two relatives, why did they want to break into the investment family?"
"After the Hua Chuan incident just now, I don't know who it was. I went to see the two families and said that Gan Yongmei and Chu Kuo were set up, and the person who set up the set up was Tiao Xun Bo."
"Who was the person who tipped off the news?"
"I heard from the brothers who were following him that he is an old man with a mole on his cheek. Judging from his appearance, he looks like the housekeeper of Qiu Wanshan's house, the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue."
Chu Qing: "..."
