This member of the foreign language clearly heard Qian Shengchao’s extortion, but he did not dare to get angry, and laughed along with him: "Although there is no evidence, it is a lot of 2.6 million cents. Before the end of the year, the Hube must be cleared. also."

Qian Shengchao said indifferently, "I said 2.6 million for no reason, and no one believed it. I think it's better to find a few adults who can call the shots and sit down and talk in person."

Yuan Wailang's smile froze on his face, not knowing what to do.

Chen Zhenqing was in the side door at the moment, listening to Qian Shengchao's raising the price to five million, her expression gloomy and ugly.

Five million, five million is hard to raise, where can they get these five million

What's more, this is an extortion by a small businessman. How can you recognize it? !

But he didn't dare to go out. Outside, he was a high-ranking household servant, and the world looked up. In the eyes of a real big man, he could die with one hand.

Qian Sheng didn't squint, with a calm expression, just staring at this member of the foreign man.

He has received the news that his club has won a big victory, so what's the fear!

This member of the foreign language is just a messenger, how dare he really offend Qian Shengchao, gritted his teeth and laughed and said good things.

Chen Zhenqing was inside, seeing Qian Shengchao unwavering, killing five million, her eyes gloomy, and her face constantly changing.

He couldn't help but want to go out several times, and angered Qian Shengchao, but in the end he held it back.

I don't know how long it took in the side hall, and Chen Yan finally came back.

Chen Zhenqing suppressed his anger and whispered: "My lord, they raised the price of five million!"

Chen Yan had already read Zhou Zheng's note. Compared to saving his life, his official position, and the power to cede, money and food were already a trivial matter.

Despite this, Chen Yan still had heartache, a headache, and was uncomfortable anywhere. He let out a deep breath and said, "Promise him."

Chen Zhenqing opened her eyes wide, and said in surprise: "My lord, that's five million! He wants us to pay in one year, how is this possible?"

Five million, this is a huge sum of money. At the beginning, Yang Sichang prepared to spread the net on all sides. After more than two years of planning, only about one million!

Chen Yan didn't understand, but did they have other choices

"Well, I know." Chen Yan exhaled and said blankly.

Chen Zhenqing looked at Chen Yan, who was also an old slicker who had been up and down for many years, and finally woke up, nodded in panic, and said, "The official understands."

Chen Yan watched him walking outside, bitter in his heart, and secretly said: How do you know that our destiny has long been in the hands of others, and he thinks he wants to get rid of that...

Chen Zhenqing came out, looking at Qian Shengchao, who was imprisoned by him in the firewood room not long ago, and said blankly: "We promised, you can go."

Qian Sheng said with a smile on his unmoving look, and said: "That's good, I believe in the credibility of the Ministry of Households. By the way, Yuan Fu promised to give us adults 500,000 yuan and 400,000 yuan, and hope that within five days Pay it off, don’t affect the imperial court’s grand cause of suppressing bandits. It is a matter of society and cannot be delayed."

Chen Zhenqing's teeth were about to break, her eyes gloomily stared at Qian Shengchao, and she said word by word: "My official said, I see."

Qian Shengchao smiled a lot on his face, raised his hand, and said, "Master Xie, goodbye, the villain."

Qian Shengchao turned and left, leaving the household part in a quiet place.

That member of Wai Lang was stupid, five million, Chen Shi Lang actually agreed! This is naked blackmail, blackmailing the household department!

Chen Zhenqing didn't seem to see the expression on the outsider staring at him, staring coldly at Qian Shengchao and left, turning straight into the inner hall.

Chen Yan called a confidant over and discussed it secretly for a long time.

These people left the secret room with solemn expressions, without saying a word.

Similar to this, Zhou Yanru's other direct descendants have clearly explained one by one, and they are clearly distinguished from Zhou Zheng and no longer fight each other.

At the same time, they received a very difficult task one by one, which is to "raise money and food". They must use all means, whether it is borrowing, stealing or robbing, they must raise five million within a year!

The promised salary is gone, the yard is no longer repaired, and those who know the "filial piety" will also go to the public...

Zhou Yanru was working desperately to raise money. What is surprising is that they raised 400,000 yuan in just five days and handed it to Zhang Heyi.

Levy West Gallery.

Zhou Zheng’s second son, Zhou Deke, wandered around the Zhengxi Corridor crookedly. Unlike his elder brother, who was introverted and afraid of life, the little guy seemed to have nothing to fear. He ran around, yelling and chasing when he saw something novel. .

This is Zheng Xibo's second son. Everyone in Zhengxi Gallery is pampered. Even if he is busy, he occasionally plays with the little guy.

Zhang Heyi took the receipt from the Ministry of Household and came to Zhou Zheng’s class room. He said in surprise: "My lord, don’t look at the treasury. These people are really rich. A while ago they spent hundreds of thousands to repair the yard, and in a flash, they raised another 400,000. …"

Zhou Zheng looked up at him and said, "Have you found out the way?"

Zhang Heyi glanced around and said: "The students inquired, some were'borrowed', and the inside was a little bit trickier. Some were deductions for water transportation, salt lessons, tea, etc., related to merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. Another part, It’s just selling officials. I heard that all kinds of fats and shortages are clearly marked, and the Sichuan Salt Class has raised them at a price of five thousand taels!"

Zhou Zheng was not very surprised, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Staring at them."

Zhang Heyi nodded, just about to turn around and go out, saying, "By the way, I heard that King Lu has entered the palace after he entered Beijing."

I already knew this week, and continued to bury my head in reading, saying: "Don't worry, there is a problem, we have someone on it."

Zhang Heyi suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, the students retire."

When Zhang Heyi was out of Zhou Zheng's room, King Lu entered the Palace of the Qing Dynasty and was meeting with Zhu Cihong.

King Lu’s fief was the Yanzhou Mansion of Shandong. The renovation of Shandong had caused the King Lu Mansion to be suppressed. King Lu also went to Chongzhen to cry and complained, but was suppressed by Zhou Zheng through several cases. Now, he can't help but jump out.

Standing at the table of Zhu Cihong’s case, King Lu said in pain and helplessness: "Your Majesty, since the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the court has repeatedly withheld my salary from Prince Lu’s residence. The first emperor was deceived by a traitor and reduced the distribution of Prince Lu’s land. Now, the minister. I can’t go on any longer, please urge the Ministry of Households to give out the salary of Prince Lu’s mansion."

Zhu Cihong didn't know this, but King Lu was in the clan and couldn't ignore it. He turned to look at Li Zhong.

These Li Zhong knew well, glanced at King Lu, and said softly: "Long live Lord, what King Lu said is the truth."

Zhu Cihong let out a cry and said, "Then let the Ministry of Household pay as soon as possible."

Li Zhong did not speak.

King Lu was overjoyed and said: "Please also your majesty's decree."

Zhu Cihong blinked, then turned to look at Li Zhong.

He is only ten years old. Whether it is in etiquette or in reality, the power has fallen to the outer court, a step further than his father, Huang Chongzhen.

He didn't dare to decide on such an important matter alone. (End of this chapter)
