Huang Laosi was a thief. There were many scouts in Qianqi Camp who knew what kind of qualities he had, so they waited for Chu Qing to return to Chu Mansion before visiting him.
After coming out of the Qianqiying Yamen Office, Chu Qing cursed.
Sun An came and said that the emperor was angry with Long Yan. The reason was that Chu Qing's younger brother killed Zhang Songling, and Chu Qing dared to conceal the report. He had to choose one of two, either hand it over to Fu San, or Chu Qing would do it in the future. Find a way to feed all the horses in Qianqi Camp.
Chu Qing asked if there was a third option, which was to hand over the official position and title, and then there would be no need to support the Qianqi Camp and no need to hand it over to Fu San.
The old eunuch said no, he had to choose between life and money.
Chu Qing could only choose to give money, and then asked Chen Yan roughly how much the Qianqiying Yamen Office spent each month.
After Chen Yan gave a number, Fu San asked Chu Qing if it didn't work out, he might as well commit suicide. He was blackmailing people, and it cost more than 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a month.
Returning to the Chu Mansion, Chu Qing once again faced a long-standing and never-solved problem: how to make money!
"What a mess!"
Chu Qing was sitting in the garden, extremely depressed.
For other time-travelers, as long as they wear it, it doesn’t matter who they are, making money is standard. It’s the same as playing. But here, I haven’t made a penny, and I owe a lot of foreign debt. From work to relatives and friends, I have nothing. One who doesn’t owe money.
The disciples came running and said they had a visit from General Huang Si.
Huang Laosi, the chicken thief, is here. Before leaving the palace, he asked an eunuch to go to the Ministry of Works to find Chu Wensheng. He said that the emperor dreamed of a mutiny in a garrison in the northern suburbs last night, and asked Chu Wensheng to go out of the city to have a look. .
Therefore, Chu Wensheng, the only person in the Chu mansion who knew Huang Laosi, was not in the mansion.
When he came outside the door, Chu Qing saw Huang Laosi in regular clothes.
The fourth child smiled happily, and Chu Qing looked disgusted.
"Look for me Gaha."
"I miss you." Huang Laosi said cheerfully, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much. Let's go and have a drink."
"Who spends the money?"
Huang Laosi asked tentatively: "You?"
"Go slowly, don't send me away."
Huang Laosi grabbed Chu Qing's sleeve and said, "I'll do it for my brother. I'll do it for my brother today."
Chu Qing's face was full of vigilance: "You suddenly came to buy me a drink. Are you asking me to borrow money?"
"It's a joke, how can I be this kind of person?"
Huang Laosi told the truth. He didn't want to borrow money, he just blackmailed him for money.
Chu Qing thought for a while and said angrily: "Okay, I happen to be in a bad mood, so just go."
Huang Laosi was also a bitch-tongued, and he asked carelessly: "Why don't you feel unhappy?"
"There's a bastard who has ruined his life for eight generations because of his lack of virtue. He charges me protection money, which is thirty to forty thousand dollars a month. Damn it."
Huang Laosi nodded heavily: "Then this bitch deserves to die."
"Who says it isn't?" Chu Qing turned around and shouted, "Third brother, let's go out to drink."
Fu San, who was looking for someone to play with to earn pocket money, ran out, saw Huang Laosi and said hello.
"Isn't this the fourth child? Are you here to find my young master?"
Huang Laosi was too lazy to answer.
Day by day with someone else.
In this way, the three of them walked in the direction of Liuhe River.
Liuhe is neither the South City nor the North City. It is a river that runs through the entire city of Changjing. In addition to the gold-selling caves such as the Flower Boat, there are also many restaurants on the bank. After nightfall, it is also the most lively place.
After arriving at Liuhe, Chu Qing happened to have no meal, so he pointed to a fairly quiet restaurant called Fulinju.
"That's it, feel free to eat."
Huang Laosi readily agreed. He just wanted to go to the palace to relax and not choose the place.
Fulinju has three floors. The first floor is full of tables. The second floor is elegant and quiet. Small groups of scholars gather together to drink and chat. Huang Laosi is not happy with the crowd, so everyone comes to the third floor.
The third floor is a private room with only five tables, all close to the window and separated by screens.
After sitting down, Chu Qing asked Fu San to take a look at the kitchen, otherwise he would not be able to eat at ease.
A few days ago, Chu Qing took people to check merchants, and there were many restaurants among them. When he went to the back kitchen, Chu Qing was disgusted. It was really sloppy and feeding animals, and the pickles were trampled with bare feet. Ma Rui was very angry. He whipped the shopkeeper several times.
Fortunately, after Fu San took a look, the kitchen was still clean, so Chu Qing took his order.
I asked for three cold and three hot drinks. Knowing that it was Huang Laosi who was consuming the food, I asked for the best wine.
After the food and drinks were served, Huang Laosi raised his glass and said with a smile: "What a good method. I heard in the palace that a shameless person like the right minister of the Ministry of Rites was manipulated by you without knowing it. My dear brother, it is really a good method."
Chu Qing and Huang Laosi clinked glasses and said with a wry smile: "It's just luck."
Huang Laosi looked surprised.
He thought Chu Qing would brag about himself.
"Why do you feel that you are unhappy?"
"There's nothing like it." Chu Qing drank the wine in one gulp: "Originally, I thought I would be very happy after defeating Zhang Songling in a fight, but in fact, that's not the case."
"Why?"
"I can't tell clearly." Chu Qing shook his head: "Maybe it's because after Zhang Songling's death, the world has not changed much."
"Change?" Huang Laosi poured a glass of wine for Chu Qing: "Let me tell you what you think."
"I can't tell. I just feel that one of the left minister Zhou Youwei and the right minister Zhang Songling has been sent from the Qianqi Camp Prison to the Penal Department Prison, and the other is now very cold, but the courtiers..."
"How are the courtiers?"
"What the courtiers are thinking now is that they are not involved with King Wu. They are thinking that Zhang Songling's methods are not as good as mine. What they are thinking is that they should put aside the relationship and not be implicated."
Huang Laosi asked in confusion: "What's wrong with thinking like this?"
"Wrong, all wrong." Chu Qing's face showed a deep look of sadness: "They should think about why Zhang Songling ended up like this."
"Isn't it because of you?"
"No, it's precisely because everyone thinks it's because of me that I feel helpless."
Fu San poured a glass of wine for Huang Laosi and Chu Qing respectively, and interjected: "Master, I know."
Huang Laosi frowned: "What do you know?"
"Zhang Songling ended up like this not because of the young master, but because of himself."
"what for."
"It's your own fault." Fu San said carelessly: "Fourth Brother, this is the stupidity of you officials and generals. When something happens, you always think about finding connections and finding opportunities, but you never think about why you fell into trouble. In this way, that old dog Zhang and a group of businessmen made money and oppressed the people, causing countless people to lose their families and families. He had done countless dirty and evil things. Now that he is dead, what the courtiers are thinking about. It's just that he has never fought against my young master, but he doesn't think that this old dog should be dead long ago, but he doesn't think that someone should take action to punish him. "
At this point, Fu San sighed slightly: "It is precisely because of this that my young master feels unhappy. The young master defeated Zhang Songling not only because of how crazy this old dog is, but also because he wanted to let others know. If someone does evil things like Zhang Songling again, they will think of my young master, think of Zhang Songling's fate, and think that after they do evil, someone like my young master will kill them."
Chu Qing raised his wine glass: "Third brother, Master, here's a toast to you."
Fu San laughed, and the two clinked glasses.
Huang Laosi looked thoughtful.
Putting down his glass, Fu San looked at the brooding Huang Laosi and spoke again: "Old Si, do you know what those dandies will do if they get into trouble and are caught by Jingzhao Mansion?"
"What?"
"Looking for relatives, looking for close friends, looking for elders in the family, all of them are there, but there is no one. Thinking of Changlu and the laws in Changlu, if these dandies are dealt with by Jingzhao Mansion, his friends will laugh at him, Laugh at his lack of reputation, laugh at the fact that the elders in his family do not have high official positions, laugh at him for not letting his money escape punishment."
Huang Laosi lowered his head with an incomprehensible expression.
Fu San gave Huang Laosi another blow: "Only when people commit crimes will they think about the Chang Law. It is clearly written in the Chang Law that you should not do such things."
Chang Chengyou, the Emperor of Dachang, blushed fiercely.
Fu San's meaning is very clear, Chang Lv is like a decoration.
