After the first month passed, the emperor did not decree to abolish the prince, but finally cleared up the household debts.
The emperor decreed that each department must cooperate with the household department to clear up the outstanding debts.
Anyone who has arrears in the household department must truthfully return the arrears to the household department.
Don't think that you don't have to pay it back when you go to the Ministry of Households to play the autumn wind.
The first to bear the brunt are the many royal family members.
Regardless of whether they have money or not, the royal family almost all get a lot of money from the Ministry of Households.
The court's money is everyone's money.
You can beat the autumn wind, why can't I.
Don't borrow for nothing.
It's a big deal to write an IOU, anyway, the Ministry of Households will not really send someone to pursue the arrears.
It's been like this for so many years.
Ever since, under the robbery of various autumn winds, the household department is getting poorer and poorer. If you can't increase taxes, you can only ask Shaofu for alms.
The Shaofu is also complaining. Whenever your household department has no money, you come to fight the autumn wind. Do you really regard the Shaofu as the household department's small treasury
Ever since, the Ministry of Households called it poor, and the Shaofu complained of suffering. It was not easy for everyone.
The emperor procrastinated again and again. In the past two years, natural disasters have been frequent and taxes have been reduced. However, the place where the court spends money has not decreased, but more and more.
It is really a headache to go to court for money every year.
The salaries of the officials in the capital are almost exhausted.
In a rage, the emperor simply set about cleaning up the outstanding debts of the household department.
If all the arrears can be recovered, the Ministry of Households will be able to increase eight or nine million taels of silver this year.
That's a lot of money.
With such a huge sum of money, no one is not tempted.
The emperor is also a layman, and he is also tempted.
MMP, I've never seen this money before, it's all in the pockets of you bastards.
Now I settle accounts after autumn, spit out everything I ate, and return everything I took away.
Regardless of whether it is the royal family or civil and military officials, no one can be an exception.
Not paying back
I will let you know why the blood is so red. Don't want the head, I'll cut it off for you directly.
This matter is led by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This is the beginning of the vigorous campaign to clear up outstanding debts.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Mr. Gu.
In the past few years, he has been released as an official.
He just wanted to borrow money from the household department, but he couldn't stretch his hand that long.
He is also one of the few officials in the capital who does not owe money to the household department.
Mr. Gu was ready to watch the play, but he didn't expect Mr. Gu to be roasted on the fire with a piece of paperwork from the household department.
The Secretary of the Household Department looked through the list of money owed by civil and military officials, hey, he found that Gu Zhili and Mr. Gu were not on it.
Rare!
So he immediately sent a letter to the Yin Yamen of the capital, asking Mr. Gu to cooperate with this debt.
Looking at the document, there is not only the signature and seal of the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but also the seal of the big boss of the Ministry of Education. Mr. Gu knows that he will not escape this time.
In desperation, Mr. Gu could only obey his orders and began to cooperate with the household department to clear up the outstanding debts.
However, I don't know if someone deliberately picked on him. The first order to clear up the debts was the Haixibo Mansion.
Master Gu scolded his mother in front of the Minister of the Household Department.
Is there such a thing
That was his in-laws.
Is this the rhythm to make him offend his in-laws
The Minister of the Household Department said grandly: "Because Mr. Gu and Hai Xibo are in-laws, it is more appropriate for you to come to the door for this matter. Your in-laws will solve the debt problem in a friendly manner. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"
Mr. Gu blew his beard and stared, "Did you ever do anything wrong, this lower official? Did you offend your old man?"
Hubu Shangshu laughed, "Master Gu really knows how to joke. You and I didn't have much contact before, so why offend me. I trust Mr. Gu, so I will entrust you with important tasks."
In the final analysis, the Minister of the Household Department refused to change his decision and insisted on Mr. Gu asking Hai Xibo for money.
Mr. Gu left with a flick of his sleeves, he is also a person with a temper.
He thought it all over, was passive and slowed down his work, and said in a few days that the matter was difficult and he was powerless, so he asked the Ministry of Households to send competent officials to Haixibo Mansion to clear up the outstanding debts.
However, he had only been passive and sabotage for two days before he heard a frightening news.
The Jinwu Guards were dispatched, and so was the Prisoner of the Shaofu.
These gangsters not only stared at the civil and military officials who owed money, but also the progress of the household department.
The Secretary of the Household Department reminded Mr. Gu in private, "The task has been entrusted to you. If there is no income, I can only hand over the matter to the Shaofu Prisoner. At that time, I will also invite Mr. Gu to the Shaofu to work with the Shaofu Prisoner." Have a good talk."
Mr. Gu was sweating profusely, he didn't want to provoke the Shaofu gang.
Those people are close ministers of the emperor. If they casually say a few words about him in front of the emperor, his official career will come to an end.
Master Gu gritted his teeth, his expression became fierce.
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist.
The death of Haixibo's house is always better than his death.
Ever since, Mr. Gu personally brought the yamen servants and blocked Hai Xibo at the door of his house.
Hai Xibo frowned slightly, and looked at Mr. Gu with displeasure, "Is Mr. Gu here to demonstrate?"
"Don't dare! This officer took over the order and is responsible for cleaning up the debts accumulated over the years by the Haixibo Mansion. I also ask the uncle to be flexible and pay back the money as soon as possible. This way everyone will look good."
Hai Xibo was furious, with his hands behind his back, condescending, "If Benbo refuses to pay back the money, what will Mr. Gu want?"
Master Gu's eyes flashed with cruelty, "If the uncle refuses to pay back the money, then don't blame me for not caring about relatives. My subordinates are all experts at copying houses. When the time comes, we will have to go to the Earl's Mansion to bother me. "
Haisib was furious, "How dare you!"
Mr. Gu took out the official document, "This is an imperial edict, Your Majesty has allowed me to act cheaply. Why does Uncle really want to confront His Majesty?"
Hai Xibo sneered, "Gu Zhili, Benbo really didn't know you were a wolf."
Master Gu said with a blank expression, "I am your Majesty's running dog, the eagle dog. Your Majesty points to the east, and I will never go west. Instead of wasting your tongue and chatting with me, Uncle, why don't you think about how to collect money to pay back the debt. Otherwise, the person who will come next time will not be the official, but the Jinwu Guard, and the Prisoner of the Shaofu."
"Don't use the Jinwu Guards to frighten Ben Bo. When Ben Bo fought bloody battles, those people were not weaned."
Master Gu sneered, "I'd better keep talking to Jin Wuwei about this, uncle. I will give uncle a day, and at this time tomorrow, I will come to get the money. If I can't get the money, I don't mind Take someone to ransack the house. Let's go!"
Mr. Gu came simply, and left very simply.
Haisib stood at the door of his house, his face turned blue with anger.
In his opinion, Gu Zhili was simply holding a chicken feather as an arrow. As soon as he came up, he just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
"Uncle, do you want to go out?"
"What are you going out for?"
Haixibo's mansion scolded the servants angrily, flung their sleeves and went back to the mansion, and asked the accountant to prepare money.
Over the past few years, Haixibo Mansion has borrowed a total of more than 100,000 taels from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In such a short period of time, the Earl's Mansion certainly cannot afford so much money. At most, I can only make up 20,000 taels.
Haixibo House frowned, "It's only 20,000 taels, it's not enough." It's not enough.
Mrs. Hai Xibo was furious, "Where's Erlang's wife? Call her here. This harm, she harmed the whole family at home, and her father came to harm the uncle again. It's really hateful."
Hai Xibo said with a straight face: "What does this have to do with Erlang's wife, don't mess around. If something happens, Gu Zhili might take this opportunity to make Ben Bo suffer a lot."
"He dares!"
Mrs. Hessib patted the table.
She obediently obeyed Hai Xibo's words and did not make things difficult for Gu Yue.
When Hai Xibo left the house, she ordered her confidants to go to Gu Yue's room to move things.
Don't you want to pay back
As the daughter-in-law of Haixibo Mansion, Gu Yue should contribute.
When Gu Yue saw the wolf-like maidservant rummaging through boxes and cabinets in her room to collect money, she picked up the tea bowl on the table and threw it on the forehead of the nearest lady-in-law.
Not reconciled to this, she pulled out the rolling pin from the corner and started beating people.
"Auntie killed you bunch of lowly maidservants and dared to steal her money. Is it really easy to be bullied by being an aunt? If anyone dares to do something again, my father will make you all hungry, and you will all be thrown into prison to be fed to the dogs."
Gu Yue didn't know the purpose of these maidservants.
In the inner house, she also heard about the matter of the household department clearing up such a large amount of arrears.
Early in the morning, her father blocked Hai Xibo at the door with the yamen servants, and she also knew about it.
She has been on guard all the time, and she knew that Mrs. Haisib had no good intentions.
Sure enough, Mrs. Haisiebo sent someone to collect her money.
Fortunately, she followed Gu Jiu's example and asked the servant girl to prepare a rolling pin, and hit it with all her might.
She didn't believe that she couldn't beat these lowly servant girls to death.
"Killing people, killing people."
"Second Young Madam only dares to vent her anger on us servants. We are all following orders. If you are not convinced, you can talk to Madam."
"Damn! My aunt is talking here today. If anyone dares to take my penny, I will make her repay ten times and a hundred times. My aunt doesn't believe it. If I kill you, my wife will make me pay for it."
The maids and women looked at each other.
The second young lady is becoming less and less particular, and also more and more aggressive.
Anyone who is in Gu Yue's situation can't be particular about it.
The movement here alarmed Zhao Erlang who was resting in the courtyard next door.
He appeared in the yard on crutches.
In the first month, Zhao Erlang went out to drink, and was beaten with a black stick, and his leg was broken.
He doesn't even know the appearance of the murderer, although he can be sure that the person responsible must have been sent by the Gu family.
Not only that, he was lured to gamble in the casino. In the end, he lost five thousand taels and was detained in the gambling house.
Later, the mansion gave him money to redeem him.
Then within two days, he was beaten with a black stick.
If this series of things had nothing to do with the Gu family, he would never believe it.
He wanted to settle accounts with the Gu family, but was beaten up by his father instead.
It was his fault, and there was no real evidence, how could he go to Gu's mansion to find someone to settle the score
Even if it is a lawsuit, without evidence, it is impossible to win.
Zhao Erlang held his breath in his heart until today.
Hearing Gu Yue's nonsense, he rushed out.
He pointed at Gu Yue and cursed: "Bitch, it's not enough to harm me, but also to harm the Earl's House. I was blind at the beginning, so I mistakenly thought you were a gentle and virtuous woman."
Gu Yue sneered, "If I had been gentle and virtuous, I would have been killed by you long ago. Zhao Erlang, you have to blame yourself for today. You have lost your sleeves, and you want to marry a wife and have children. Go ahead and live your big dream. "
"Bitch, today I must kill you."
Zhao Erlang hates people calling him broken sleeves the most.
He rushed up and slapped Gu Yue's face.
He had a wound on his foot and was not walking fast.
Gu Yue escaped smoothly.
Zhao Erlang was furious, "What are you still doing? Arrest her quickly."
The servants obeyed, four or five went up to arrest Gu Yue.
Gu Yue yelled, and the maids around her wanted to help, but they couldn't beat the dead with two fists, after all, there were more people on Zhao Erlang's side.
Gu Yue's hands were firmly held by the mother-in-law, unable to move.
Even the feet were held down.
She yelled, "You maidservant, let go of my aunt."
The servants were indifferent.
Gu Yue's dowry maids and mother-in-law were all pressed to the ground, and no one was spared.
Zhao Erlang grinned, stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped Gu Yue, first slapped Gu Yue a few times.
Gu Yue's cheeks instantly became red and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were cut and bleeding.
She stared at Zhao Erlang with hatred, "If you dare, beat me to death."
Zhao Erlang chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't beat you to death. But I will make your life worse than death. Come, collect all the money and send it to mother."
This time no one stopped those maids and women.
Gu Yue bared her eyes, her eyes were bloodshot.
Those were her money, her dowry silver.
They dared to rob her of money, and they all suffered a terrible death.
The servants dug out three or four thousand taels of silver from the cage.
Zhao Erlang laughed, "That's right, with this money, I can relieve my parents' worries."
Zhao Erlang left contentedly.
Since the first month, the breath that has been held in my heart has finally been vented.
The servant let go of Gu Yue, and Gu Yue fell to the ground.
The servant girl Putao crawled to her side, "Young Mistress, don't let yourself get overwhelmed!"
Gu Yue smiled coldly, with fierce eyes, exactly like Mr. Gu.
She muttered to herself, as if ordering grapes, "I want arsenic, a lot of arsenic."
Putao turned pale with shock, thinking that Gu Yue wanted to commit suicide.
"Young Mistress, don't be confused. It's better to live than to die. Let's go back to the mansion and ask the master to make the decision."
Gu Yue grabbed Putao's arm, his eyes seemed to be eating people, "Can you get arsenic? Arsenic that can poison hundreds of people?"
Putao was frightened and couldn't react at all.
She was trembling all over, her teeth were chattering, and her fingers were trembling, "Second young lady, you, you want... don't. This is a serious crime of beheading."
"It's a big deal and we will die together, am I afraid?"
She pointed to the messy bedroom, and pointed to the discarded clothes and bedding, "A mere servant can treat me like this, how can I, the Second Young Mistress, have the slightest dignity. In Haixibo Mansion, I am a joke, a living joke. Zhao Erlang, Mrs. Hai Xibo, their mother and son deceived others too much. If I don’t avenge this revenge, I will not be a human being.”
Gu Yue is a person who holds grudges and is also a person who can say what he can do.
Back then, she dared to set fire to kill Gu Shan just because Mrs. Xie favored Gu Shan. And there was no regret afterwards.
It can be seen that this man is a natural born criminal through and through.
Ning taught her to bear the world, and the world would never want to bear her.
She will kill anyone who dares to betray her.
She has this determination, and she is willing to let it go.
If she was willing to use this energy in other places, she would not be in this situation today.
It can only be said that paranoia is a bad thing, and if you are not careful, you will become crazy.
Where do grapes dare to buy arsenic
It is also unlikely that pharmacies will sell large quantities of arsenic to anyone.
Arsenic is a strictly controlled item these days. It is to prevent someone from using arsenic to kill people.
Putao was so nervous that her palms were sweating, she kept persuading her: "Young Mistress, get up and drink some water to calm down. There must be a solution to this matter, don't think about it."
Gu Yue got up from the ground and took a sip of water.
She did calm down, but the more she calmed down, the more she wanted to kill.
She said, "You're right, arsenic is not a good way to kill people. I'll have to think of something else."
"Young mistress, don't think about it, I beg you, servant girl."
Putao was so anxious that he wanted to hit the wall and die.
Gu Yue suddenly laughed, "Pao, don't worry, I will not let you die. You have always been by my side. The person I trust most is you, and I will never let you be in danger .”
"The servants don't let the young mistress be in danger."
Gu Yue smiled and said, "I will not be in danger."
She gritted her teeth, her cheeks hurting.
"Go, get a basin of hot water and apply it to me."
Grapes go to fetch hot water.
Gu Yue was still sitting on the chair and let out a smirk.
Zhao Erlang, good guy, dared to steal her money.
If she doesn't avenge her revenge, she is not Gu Yue.
There is also Mrs. Hai Xibo, who has no way to teach her son, so she just blindly asks her to be patient.
She has had enough.
Zhao Erlang just got a broken leg, which is not enough.
Only by peeling off Zhao Erlang's skin and cramping, can the hatred in her heart be relieved.
How much Gu Yue loved Zhao Erlang in the past, now she hates Zhao Erlang so much.
I can't wait to eat its flesh and drink its blood raw.
At this time, Zhao Erlang was claiming credit in front of Mrs. Hai Xibo, while slandering Gu Yue.
He didn't know at all that Gu Yue had already murdered him, and wanted to kill him soon.
Don't mess with anyone, don't mess with women.
Especially a woman like Gu Yue who is born crazy.
