lied to Kangxi

Coincidentally, Jingnihou's Mansion is not far from Tongfu Road where Lao Tong's house is located, in the Shijia Hutong near Dongsi Pailou.

Not long after Yu Zhu and Old Twelve's carriage entered the alley, the guards came to report.

"Xiangxiangguo, Lord Twelve, the humble officials found some people sneaking out of the Marquis' mansion with heavy burdens, so they stopped them. Unexpectedly, a large amount of gold and silver jewelry were found, as well as Antique jade."

Old Twelve stared at Yuzhu, and said with a sneer, "As soon as the big tree fell, the slaves dared to overthrow the sky? If there is no one behind the scenes, I wouldn't believe it if they were killed."

Yuzhu smiled lightly and said, "It is said that Zhang Qian and his younger brothers are quite at odds. Some people must be worried about the unfair division of the family, right?"

The old twelve snorted and said sarcastically: "I have been eating white seats for so many years, and I have seen too many. The so-called brothers are like brothers, and they are completely vulnerable in the face of rich family property and titles. Old Shuncheng County Wang promised After Rob died, hehe, Xibao and his brothers made a scene of joy."

Knowing this, Yu Zhu couldn't help but smile. When his father was alive, his brothers pretended to be like siblings.

After the death of the father, hey, the brothers make housework, and they are more vicious than the enemy.

Don't talk about other people's family, let's talk about Old Tong's family, if Yuzhu's aunt Hesheli is still alive, his elder brother Yue Xing'a will definitely be a demon moth.

To tell the truth, although Tong Guowei has no family affection for Yuzhu, he has the virtue of helping.

As soon as Tong Guowei took the initiative to help Yuzhu solve his confidant's serious troubles, Yuzhu couldn't ignore the affairs of the old Tong's family.

This ginger, after all, is still old and spicy!
After the carriage stopped in front of the Hou Mansion, Yu Zhu held Huang Chengcheng's edict in his hand and shouted sharply: "There is a decree!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

After a long time of hustle and bustle in the Hou Mansion, the incense table was set up, the middle door was opened wide, and the imperial envoy was greeted.

Zhang Qian led his younger brothers and knelt down in the mourning hall honestly.

Yuzhu glanced outside the gate of the mourning hall, and saw a large expanse of whiteness, full of women and servants in sackcloth and filial piety.

"The cabinet issued an edict to order Yuzhu, the foreman and imperial minister, to visit nearby and select a worthy person to succeed him... hereby."

After the decree was issued, the entire Hou Mansion was stunned.

The so-called selection of the virtuous to seize the title also means that Yu Zhu has grasped the lifeline of the Marquis Mansion.Whoever he likes can take over the first-class title of Marquis of Jingni, and he will naturally become the new owner of the Zhang family.

Old Twelve is already an expert in catering, and the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs he brought with him started to arrange funerals with ease.

However, after Yu Zhu and Lao Twelve were invited into the West Flower Hall by Zhang Qian, as soon as they picked up the teacups, people from the House of Internal Affairs came to report.

"Go back to Xiangguo, Lord Twelve, the warehouse is so empty that you can run away with mice, and there is less than a hundred taels of silver in deposit."

Yu Zhu and Lao Twelve looked at each other, and Lao Twelve couldn't help but sneered and said, "What's the matter, did I hit the spot? Hmph, the 5000 taels of silver rewarded by Khan Ama will definitely not be able to last the day of the funeral." .”

Old Twelve is only in charge of funerals, he can sneer at will.

Yu Zhu is different, he shoulders the important task of selecting the next Marquis Jing Ni, so naturally he can't just talk about it.

"Young Lord, your old Lord didn't leave a note for retirement?" Before Zhang Qian could speak, Yuzhu had already ordered, "Tell me, any unfilial son who doesn't spend money to arrange his father's funeral will not Attack the noble, and drive out of the house."

The Zhang family's savings disappeared, even if Yu Zhu could manage it, he didn't bother to manage it.

The most urgent thing is that Zhang Zongren is dead, and the funeral must be done in a good manner.

Otherwise, the old emperor must be upset when the news spreads.

The old emperor is upset. Is it possible for Zhang Qian and his younger brothers to successfully seize the title?

Hearing this, the old twelve couldn't help clapping his hands in admiration, and said with a soft smile: "If you hit a snake and hit it seven inches, once Yu Xiangguo strikes, I want to see who is the most unfilial son?"

If ordinary people speak harshly, the Zhang family still has room to play dumb.

However, Yu Zhu is not an ordinary person, whoever dares not to listen to what he says will definitely suffer a big loss!

An hour later, after Zhang Qian and his younger brothers quarreled upside down, they sent 5 taels of silver bills to the old twelve.

The old twelve raised his finger and pointed to the thick stack of banknotes on the table, curled his lips and said with a sneer: "This family is a typical toast and refuses to eat, and eats fine wine."

Yuzhu laughed and said, "Brother Twelve, fifty-five thousand taels, is it enough to make things easier?"

"Well, roughly enough, but those people who have been following me in the House of Internal Affairs are not enough." In front of Yuzhu, the old twelve had nothing to hide, and he just said the unspoken rules .

These days, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all money-greedy ghosts who love money like their lives.

If they don't give enough benefits, they really dare to trip people secretly and make the Zhang family suffer.

Yuzhu turned her head to look at the pale Zhang Qian, without speaking, just staring at him coldly.

Zhang Qian couldn't bear it any longer, suppressed the huge pain of losing money, and said in a trembling voice: "Caomin went back to search and pick up, and carefully rummaged through boxes and cabinets. Maybe he could make up 8000 taels."

The old twelve couldn't get used to Zhang Qian who was picking and picking, and his heart was burning, so he was very rude when he spoke.

"I said, the mosquito leg with three melons and two dates is nothing more than sending a beggar, but you still need to rummage through the cabinet? Xiao Zhang, my master has a straight temper. There are some things you don't like to hear, so there is nothing you can do. Brother Zhu, send the Ministry of Internal Affairs away." For the expenses, I will take the silver from my Beizi's house."

Hey, good guy, the old twelfth is trampling people, and he is going to drive Zhang Qian, who is stingy, crazy!
Oh, co-author, the Zhang family needs an advance payment from the old twelve for the funeral?
As long as this news reaches the old emperor's ears, no matter how much he appreciates Zhang Yong's kindness, he will inevitably be completely disappointed with the Zhang family.

The old emperor was disappointed, the Zhang family's title, I'm afraid it's hard to say!

Zhang Qian was squeezed into a corner, so he had to take out another 5 taels of silver, and finally sealed the mouth of the old twelve.

After waving Zhang Qian away, the old twelve smiled and said to Yuzhu: "My good brother, some people just don't know what to do, and they can only squeeze them bit by bit before they are willing to bleed."

Yuzhu smiled dumbly, but he was clear in his heart. The old twelfth used the banner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make money wantonly, and his purpose was not pure.

These days, if one wants to seize a big position, power and money are indispensable.

Don't watch the old TV dramas, where the fourth child is praised very high, and they are very loud.

However, in order to seize the throne, when the fourth brother was really short of money, he also robbed the shops and money of the rich like the ninth, and even caused more than ten lives for this?
The old twelve wanted to gain weight, and it had nothing to do with Yuzhu, so Yuzhu didn't bother to care about it.

With the money and the old twelve sitting in charge, the funeral of the Zhang family finally went smoothly.

However, while eating supper, a major event happened, which was closely related to Yuzhu.
