Nangong, Yutang Front Hall

Next to the imperial throne, two lanterns of more than one person were shining everywhere, illuminating the hall, making the lights brightly. Several middle-aged servants wearing Diao Chan crowns stood on both sides of the imperial throne, and their black robes were like crows.

Emperor Liu Ao took a book of bamboo slips and looked at them carefully. His face became more and more gloomy. Before he finished reading it, he couldn't help but waved his hand to throw the book to the ground.

With a bang, the leather rope was broken, and the bamboo slips flew around the hall, Liu Ao was still not satisfied, kicked the imperial desk over with one kick, and roared: What a courage!

Tang Heng, Xu Huang, Zuo Wei, Ju Yuan and others lowered their heads, looked at the tip of their noses, and did not dare to speak out in a while, but they raised their faces indifferently, but now they also shut their mouths with tactful sensibility.

A small yellow door crawled on the ground and gently packed up the scattered bamboo slips one by one.

Cai Jingzhong's face was as pale as a dead person, without a trace of expression, and his tone did not fluctuate at all. He was not only in the capital, but also under the name of merchants from various counties and states, and was also embezzled by the wealthy clans of the Grand Secretary Nong Ningcheng, who was in Wan County. He recently purchased 1,000 mu of land for 5 jin of copper zhu, with only 5 mu of each mu.

Liu Ao became more and more angry and he appointed Ning as the Grand Chief Farmer and presided over the calculating corpse. Unexpectedly, even he was involved in it.

Cai Jingzhong ignored the faces of the emperor and several of the Zhongchang servants and said as if no one was left: As soon as the order was released, the officials regarded merchants as fat sheep, and were all involved in the location of the Honglu Temple and were not willing to let it go. He spent a million yuan the day before yesterday to purchase a large area of ​​land outside Shangjin.

Xu Huang cursed in his heart, and wanted to stand up and say a few words. When he saw the emperor's face, he still shrank quietly.

The slave has never heard of the land purchase. Tang Heng said: But the slave knew about the land outside the Tianjin area. The land was only more than fifty acres. If the Daxing Ling paid a million yuan, the price of nearly ten gold coins per mu was almost the same as the market price. As for the land purchased by the Dasi Agricultural, the slave heard that it was all the wasteland on the river beach. He must take the opportunity to extort it. He also asked the emperor to make a clear reference.

Xu Huang felt ashamed. Xiao Cheng secretly stuffed a piece of paper that could be exchanged for money the day before yesterday. He asked him to tell him if he had a chance, he would tell the emperor that he was not as righteous as the old Tang. He quickly stood up. The slave heard that the same was true.

Liu Ao glanced at them coldly, and after a moment, he said: Since Ning Cheng bought the river beach wasteland, it would be fine if you just mentioned the order, with the salary of the court, he took advantage of the opportunity to seize the money and seize it. It was shameless!

Xu Huang couldn't help but raise his heart and heard the emperor say sternly: I'll be dismissed to serve as a warning to others!

Everyone was silent, and no one dared to speak up for the unlucky big business, Xu Huang looked at Cai Jingzhong resentfully, "Your surname is Cai, if you didn't owe me money, I would have been with you today!"

The emperor had already spoken, and a group of attendants listened honestly, but some people were dissatisfied with the speech of Zhongxing and said with a solemn expression: I think that Cheng should be imprisoned, Ming Dian is punished, and the ministers are shocked.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other side and shocked the ministers. Do you really have the face to say that there are jackals, tigers and leopards in the court? Even if you catch a toad, who can you shock?

Tang Heng advised: Although the slaves think that the order cannot be carried out in a very special way, they are not enough to be imprisoned.

Cai Jingzhong's voice was sharp and thin, and he said in a stern manner: What is more than a big lie to shock the law.

This is even more cruel. Because they spent less than ten gold baht per mu of land, they directly beheaded other things. Everyone in the Lu family knew that they had a lot of land acquisitions by taking advantage of the opportunity to calculate the money. The two gold baht per mu of land were a lot. As a result, they spent ten gold baht to buy land and killed it. The two gold baht to buy land was fine. How could they convince the public?

The Central News Agency said that the family members were confined to the palace to be slaves!

Xu Huang finally couldn't stand anymore, and knelt down with a loud bang, begging: If you deal with this, you are afraid that you will insult the Holy and the Emperor, so you must not!

Liu Ao also knew that it had been a bit dismissal for this little thing, but he took the opportunity to not hit the Cheng for a moment and couldn't swallow his breath for many days. He was still as delicate as the little beauty, who had been poisoned by his side...

Liu Ao snorted and glanced at Cai Jingzhong. Although the eunuch named Cai was a man of the empress dowager, he was very good at observing his face. He came out with such a handle and came to show his kindness to show his kindness to flatter me. But he was always stronger than those eunuchs who only saw the empress dowager in his eyes. Liu Ao gave him eight words in his heart: Although it is not credible, it is still usable.

The emperor was not speaking for a long time, and everyone couldn't help but feel cold sweat in their hearts, for fear that the emperor would really agree to Cai, so he cut Xiao Cheng's head and took the other person's money. He watched him lose his head. Tang Heng was worried that the emperor would deal with it like this, and he was afraid that he would be vilified by others. How should this edict be written? If according to the court's laws and regulations, Cheng only bought a piece of land and did not die. He would have to make up a few more charges to come out and said that he had thought about the charges at this time, and said that he interfered with the imperial court's laws. The emperor was furious and killed a warning to him. As for what Cai Jingzhong thought, no one knew.

In silence, a cry came from the back of the palace. Liu Ao listened for a moment, but the hostility on his face faded a little, and his eyebrows and eyes softened a little.

Liu Ao has no children yet, and suddenly there is a little man with a pink and jade carving in the palace. Liu Ao loves it, but he is also a little curious. Today, he specially summoned King Dingtao to the front hall of the Yutang. While preparing to discuss matters, he teased the little guy and felt the joy of family. However, Cai Jingzhong did not stop people, and threw out a bunch of black materials, which ruined his mood. Even King Dingtao who stayed behind the hall forgot.

Liu Ao said: Why is Xin'er crying again?

Zuo Xu said carefully: Go back to the emperor, Your Highness has not been in the palace for a long time, I think he is still a little afraid of life.

Didn’t Xin'er’s nanny and maids call her to the palace? Why are you still afraid of having sex?

Today, Sheng Ji happened to leave the palace. Zuo Xu said: Sheng Ji has a sister in the Dingtao royal residence. She specially took Sheng Ji to the royal residence and agreed to let her stay in the royal residence for one night. When she comes back tomorrow, her highness will cry for a while if she can’t find anyone. It might be okay.

Liu Ao nodded and made sense that Sheng Ji went to the royal residence to visit relatives. What's more, the queen had agreed to this interruption. Liu Ao remembered the incident of King Dingtao entering the palace, and the Cheng surnamed also made some efforts. It was unkind to be too dismissed, so he said: Let's dismiss the post of the Shangshu Station tomorrow

Ju Yuan bowed and said: Slave follows the order

The little yellow gate has already picked up bamboo slips, but the order has been messed up. Liu Ao can only wrap his sleeves around and walk in the hall for a few steps, and then said to Cai Jingzhong: I already know the matter in the memorial. As long as I do my best, I will never give you any rewards.

Cai Jingzhong bowed and bowed, then stepped back out of the front hall of the Jade Hall.

Liu Ao read several more memorials, and Tang Heng, Xu Huang and others left by their own orders, and only the Central News Agency left in the hall.

I think it would be better to put him in jail. If you look down on him, you are not an honest person. If you lock him up for a few days, it will definitely be a great thing that benefits the country and the people. The Bank of China said: It is best to imprison his family in Beisi Prison together.

Liu Ao did not make any noise

The Bank of China urged him: People are not sages, as long as they are willing to investigate, there must be some tricks, so why don’t I check them?

Where is Liu Jian?

Liu Jian Ah? When he came back, he said he was watching too tightly. He didn't even see anyone, but he gave a lot of things. But I heard that there was a tigress in his family named Cheng, which was not very forgiving...

Where is Xin'er?

The Bank of China asked, and then said: I just fell asleep and I carried him.

Forget it, let him sleep. Liu Ao stood up and said: Go to Zhaoyang Palace

…………………………

Cheng Zongyang never thought that besides the Eunuch Cai who was dedicated to killing him, there were still idle people in the palace who were trying their best to find a crime for him, wanting to send him to Beisi Prison for a jail.

At this time, he was staying in Wenze's former house, preparing for the trip to Hamichi and others tomorrow. He said that he had decided to send Ju Meng and others to Wudu, but because he wanted to use Ju Meng's name to promote banknotes, it took a few days to delay the situation now and the situation can't be delayed anymore

The veterans who retired from Xingyue Lake Camp in Pengyi Society carried heavy wooden boxes and fished out of the cellar. The wooden boxes were only one foot square in size, only four inches high, but weighed more than two hundred kilograms. Only these veterans could carry the boxes and walk as fast as flying.

There is a hidden lattice at the bottom of the car, and the corners are fixed with iron bars. The wooden box is included and the cabin is covered. There is no trace on the outside.

Cheng Zongyang said: How much goods can such a big car be used to transport?

Jiang Anshidao: This kind of four-wheeled carriage was sent from Thailand. It can carry up to thirty stones. It takes four horses to pull it.

Four horses can pull thirty stones, and two more? Cheng Zongyang said and slapped his forehead. The emperor drove six times, and two more horses will be exceeded.

Jiang Anshidao: It’s not that it’s that the more horses you take, the better. For example, a four-wheeled cart like this, one horse can pull ten stones, two horses can pull eighteen stones, three horses can pull twenty-five stones, and four horses can pull thirty-five stones. This is already the limit of carriages and horses. If there are more, six horses can pull thirty-seven stones, and eight horses can only pull thirty-eight stones.

Cheng Zongyang was a little confused. Can six horses pull thirty-seven stones, and eight horses pull thirty-eight stones?

Yes, horses have different physical strength, and better horses can pull more, but there is a limit of more horses than eight, so the fewer ones can pull, so for carriages, you usually use a single horse or a double horse. If you have more than four horses, you will not be worth it. This time we have to hurry on the road. We use a double horse, plus luggage for each car, which can ensure the speed to the greatest extent.

After saying this, Cheng Zongyang understood why the emperor was not unable to afford it, but from a practical point of view, six horses are the most suitable number for load capacity and efficiency.

Cheng Zongyang said: How fast can it reach?

It depends on how the road is. If the road is good, you can run forty or fifty miles in half an hour, but after running the horses, you will be short of horses. According to Deacon Qin's intention, first, there is a wound on the car and you cannot run too fast. Second, you must leave half of the strength for the horses. If something happens, it will be easy to deal with. So six places to change horses were set up on the way, and there were more than 100 spare horses alone.

Changing horse points at six places means changing horses every less than sixty miles. Qin Hui’s arrangement was indeed very careful Cheng Zongyang said: What about our Pengyi Society?

Cheng Zheng said: It’s Lao Zhao’s horse, I borrowed it to envoy

Zhao Moxuan? This guy is so nice, fifth brother, Zhao Moxuan said that he had been a scholar for Yue Shuai before, do you know him?

Lu Jing asked about the time, then shook his head and said: What happened to Yue Shuai when he was young, I have to ask Boss Meng, I don’t know much.

Meng Feiqing has followed Yue Pengju for the longest time. If Zhao Moxuan told the truth, he might have seen him, but that was more than 20 years ago. If he had seen him, he might not have remembered a little book boy.

Half an hour later, all thirty boxes of gold baht were loaded, six of which were each equipped with four boxes, and three carriages carrying passengers were loaded with two boxes. Although the arrangement was a little less efficient, it minimized the possible danger. Even if some vehicles were in trouble, the losses would not be too great, and both speed and comfort were taken into account. This was the most thoughtful arrangement that can be made at present.

After loading the gold baht, everyone then loaded various luggage boxes and other luggage carts. There were seven or eight stones in four boxes of gold baht. The luggage piled outside looked a lot, but in fact there were not many portions. Most of them were ordinary items to cover up their ears.

The last piece of luggage that everyone took out was a black and shiny board that could be seen.

High IQ said with a strange look: Where did this screen come from? Why did you slap it?

Cheng Zongyang said: What screen? This is a chopping board, specially used for chopping stuffing

He said with a high IQ: Such a large chopping board can chop hundreds of kilograms of stuffing?

Hey? What are you doing here? You still have to rush to the road tomorrow, why don’t you go to bed?

As soon as the calculator was released, Gao IQ and Yi Zong kept acquiring two people in the Grand Secretary Agricultural Office. They were as close as brothers, and they were blown away by You Yetai in front of Yi Zong, which made Yi Zong so envious. This time, Yi Zong received the edict and took office in Wu, and insisted on bringing high IQ to the top.

Cheng Zongyang was also worried about his marriage with Yun Ruyao, and was about to find someone to see how the wedding residence in Qilifang was built. After two or three, he just sent a high IQ trip.

Gao IQ said with a salivating face: Master, I want to go out...again?

Where to go?

High IQ made a vague mouth, whom I have made an appointment with...

Cheng Zongyang didn't hear it clearly, thinking that he was either Yi Zong or Feng Zidu's friends, so he asked casually: Who?

Who else can it be? He said with a high IQ and a shameless eyebrow: Isn’t it just Xiaoyun?

Cheng Zongyangqi said: What were you doing early? It’s midnight

Xiaoyun's father slept late...

This reason is very strong, but Cheng Zongyang refused without sympathy. If not, it will be difficult for the past few days.

There is only one lifang, it won’t work any time, so I will take Liu Zhao with me.

Cheng Zongyang ignored him

The high IQ softened the balls, and then pulled the person next to him to talk to him. This little bastard was given a laxative by the old man, and he drew half a bucket of fat oil. He suddenly opened his mouth and his mouth was very good. In the end, not only Cheng Zheng, but also Lu Jing opened his golden mouth, Cheng Zongyang had to give in.

If you dare to delay the serious business, when the uncle wakes up, I will ask him to add a pair of dog skin plaster and paste the things that bring disaster to you in front of you.

High IQ raised his hand and sweared: Master! I promise you that you will never delay things! Liu Zhao! Liu Zhao! Come with the young master!

High IQ calls Liu Zhao and goes out excitedly

Lu Jing said: Your disciple doesn't look like you

Stop talking about me, even his father doesn't seem to be with whom... Cheng Zongyang said, a thought came out of his mind, and suddenly he felt a thump in his heart. He quickly put this thought away

While talking, Ao Run hurried in Cheng Zongyang and said in surprise: Aren’t you in the palace? What happened?

Xu Changshi asked me to pass on a word, Ao Run lowered his voice and said: The emperor just issued an edict, you have been dismissed from office.

Cheng Zongyang fainted. Is the emperor going to do something to himself? Just because of Zhao Hede? I even sent one to the palace to you! It was really a newcomer who went to bed, the matchmaker threw the wall, unloaded the mill and killed the donkey. This is!

Talk carefully!

Xu Changshi didn't say too much, but said that the person named Cai was making trouble in front of the emperor, revealing the matter of Ning Cheng and Cheng Touter, you bought the land.

Buy the land? I haven't bought it yet! Which one is surnamed Cai? Cheng Zongyang felt cold as he said that, could it be him?

Ao Run said: I thought, maybe it was...

Before he finished speaking, Han Yu flew in, and Shi Chang-shi Cai came

While walking out, Cheng Zongyang was full of worries about being too busy. Cai Jingzhong also set fire to his backyard. It was so damn! The question is how did he meet this damn? As soon as he met, he slapped the table and scolded him fiercely? It was so happy. What if he gave up? The consequences were unimaginable.

Or would you hold his thigh and beg him to let him go with emotion? He is so happy, will he still want his face?

He looked cold and snorted coldly when he met, saying that he was disdainful of his little behavior, and put on an unfathomable attitude, making him dare not underestimate him? The problem is that he is unsure of himself. When Mr. Cai is happy, he will make a big mess for himself?

After a while, I had already entered the welcoming hall and saw Cai Jingzhong kneeling in front of the table with a serious hat.

This grandson still has the face to come! Cheng Zongyang was furious and wanted to kick him over

Cai Jingzhong was calm and calm. He took off his hat and placed it on the side of the mat, revealing his expressionless dead face, and then said in his sharp and thin voice as sinister as a living ghost: Very happy Ah!

Cheng Zongyang was choked and had the face to report the good news. And your expression, should you report the good news or the death?

Cheng Zongyang choked for a while before he got angry. Where did he come from?

The lord is busy with everything, and Cai tried to worry about the lord, and it has already shown results

This is what he said... If I hadn't known what this guy did, I would have been blinded by him

What you said about sharing my worries is to spread rumors in front of the emperor, make me report, and make rumors so that the emperor can dismiss me?

Cai Jing Zhong said modestly: This is what Cai should do, lord doesn’t have to be too polite.

See clearly! I am kneeling, not thanking me!

Cheng Zongyang sat down opposite Cai Jingzhong, and the two of them were separated by a few cases. If they wanted to slap him, they would just stretch out their hands. If they wanted to slap himself, they would also stretch out their hands.

Cheng Zongyang suppressed the urge to reach out and said sincerely: Brother, I know you are anxious, but you can't just cheat me like this, right?

Looking at the surprise in Cai Jingzhong's eyes, Cheng Zongyang felt ruthless: Do you pretend to me again? I see what else you have to say!

Don’t you just think I have too much work and are afraid that I will do the errands of the Great Bank and delay your laboratory work? Brother, it’s not that I’m talking about you, you’re too selfish!

Cai Jingzhong said leisurely: There are five days left, and it is mid-winter.

Hum? Cheng Zongyang knew that mid-winter refers to the second month of winter, that is, next month, but what does this have to do with what everyone is going to discuss?

Every mid-winter, the emperor issued an order to comfort the princes of all directions. Cai Jingzhongdao: King Huainan and King Zhao were defeated. Now there are ten princes of the Han Dynasty, King Liang, King Yàn, King Qi, King Dai, King Jiangdu, King Guangchuan, King Qinghe, King Jiaoxi, King Hejian, and King Dingtao. The responsibilities of the orders were to entrust the four directions according to the edict.

When Cai Jingzhong said this, Cheng Zongyang understood that from next month, his great order would not be able to stumble. He had to go to the fiefs of the princes in various orders and issued an order to comfort the ten vassal states. If he wanted to run down, he would have to spend the New Year on the road.

Cai knew that the lord should not be separated easily, so he tried to resign the lord's work on Daxing Ling.

I just cheated my lord without saying a word, and I came to show my merits shamelessly. I don’t let you be proud!

Cheng Zongyang said with a dark face: How do you know I don’t want to go? Tell you, I am planning to go to Jiaoxi Country! You ruined my job, how can I go!

Cai Jingzhong frowned slightly, Jiaoxi Guo? Jiaoxi doesn't need to go

Cheng Zongyangqi said: Why?

Liu Duan, the king of Jiaoxi, did not approach women in his life, did not repair palaces, did not store wealth, did not collect rent, did not set up guards, and did not live in the country. He always went on a beggar's clothes and had no fixed place to live.

Cheng Zongyang was stunned when he heard this. There was such a weird thing among the princes? This King of Jiaoxi was not a member of the Beggars' Sect, right? It's okay if he didn't get close to the woman. Maybe he was homosexual? It's understandable that he didn't cultivate the palace or store money. Maybe he was elegant in character and didn't care about these things outside the body? He didn't collect rent and taxes? This is too magical. He has surpassed the realm of sages and can be completely acquitted to the gods.

Cai Jingzhong advised: If the lord wants to go to Jiaoxi, it is best to go there with a small hand and go there with the status of the Daxing Order, but he will not see anyone.

Cheng Zongyang nodded and said that he was just taking advantage of the problem, but he never thought that he would meet such a strange person as Jiaoxi King, so he could only admit defeat.

Although the Great Decree is gone, the title of Guanneihou, the title of doctor, and the promotion of Changshigong are still there, and it is nothing more than that there is no need to handle those irrelevant tolerances.

Cheng Zongyang continued to nod and said that Mr. Cai was so thorough, so what else could he say?

Cheng Zongyang came to ask for guilt and stopped the battle. Next, the two had a cordial and in-depth conversation. Cheng Zongyang sincerely expressed his gratitude. Cai Jingzhong friendlyly stated that he was just performing his duties and would never dare to take the gratitude to his lord. Then, he also provided some sincere and detailed opinions on the design and progress of the laboratory. The two sides summarized the past, looked forward to the future, reached consensus in many aspects, laying a solid foundation for the next step of cooperation. Finally, Cheng Zongyang personally sent Cai Jingzhong out and watched him go away before returning to the house in disappointment.

…………………………

Before dawn, the carriage and horses were ready to stop. More than a dozen fat and strong tall horses had been recuperating for a long time. At this time, they were scrubbing and putting on horse harnesses. They arranged two drivers in front of the car. There were three cars that could be transported on the way. Ju Meng occupied the front one without saying anything. In addition to him, there was also a slave, Nao Hamichi, who was alone in the car. The green-faced beast stayed in Luodu and could not accompany him. At this moment, he was scattered by the car and stuffed two clean fat sheep into the car.

The people accompanying him were led by Wu Sangui. Jiang Anshi was the deputy to assist the team, in addition to the veterans of Pengyishe and Xingyue Lake Camp, there were three men with faces. The three were Ju Meng's die-hard confidants. Ju Meng was deceived by Liu Dan and imprisoned. They contacted them not long ago. At this time, the three of them were guarding Ju Meng's carriage. Because Guo Jie's only remaining young son was also in the car, Wang Meng also made an appointment to bring people to escort, but the limelight has just passed, and the arrested documents have not been removed, so they are not easy to show up directly, so they guarded outside the city and made an appointment to meet again after leaving the city.

Mr. Ha was still sealing it in the coffin, and he was spared from seeing him off. In order to take care of Guo Jie's youngest son, Yanxiang also walked in the same car. Ao Run was climbing beside the car, muttering and muttering something sour. Cheng Zongyang wanted to give in a few words but couldn't squeeze over, so he had to walk to Ju Meng's car and said a few words to see him off.

Ju Meng is open-minded and happy. If it were another hero, he would probably have to hold on to the hero's demeanor and stay in Luodu at this moment to show his hero's demeanor, so as to show his hero's demeanor. Ju Meng has nothing to say at all. When Lu Jing came over to discuss, he agreed to go to Wudu to part at this time. He leaned on the couch and smiled: Brother can't help you even if he stayed here. Go to Wudu for two days first. When you finish your work, come and have a drink with your brother.

Xing Ah Cheng Zongyang agreed in one bite, then put the jade box wrapped in brocade on the side of his bed, and told him: If you are unwell, don't throw it away if you eat it.

Ju Meng sniffed, and her expression suddenly shook. Good things Ah, but my brother can't use it, so it's better to stay with you.

Lu Jing said: Don’t talk nonsense, let you take it and you don’t just give it to you. If the uncle behind him is not good, he will give it to him.

Cheng Ah can't use it anyway. You are still yours. Ju Meng is not pretentious, so she put away the jade box casually

Cheng Zongyang leaned over and said in his ear: I haven’t told you something that you know, Su Hong, right?

My brother, Ju Meng, waved his head slightly, said, "Like them, I'm living a life, but I heard that he said something he shouldn't say, and now his life and death are unknown."

He's also dancing now

Ju Meng's expression was slightly shocked. He knew that some of the things that were taboos were made, so he nodded and smiled: Fourth brother! You are here too! He gave my brother too much face!

Simingxin threw a long sheathed knife on his car with a cold face, then took a step quietly and disappeared into the shadow under the eaves.

Ju Meng drew his sword out of the sheath, and a little warmth appeared in his eyes. This was the sword he had used for many years. He was taken away by Liu Dan that day and was not sure where Zhao Wang was defeated. He didn't know where to stay. He didn't expect that Si Mingxin could actually find it back. I don't know how much thought it took to it.

Cheng Zongyang said: Drama Hero, take care of yourself

Ju Meng raised her head and said with a smile: Don't worry, I'm waiting for you to come and have a drink.
