I'm a scumbag

Chapter 11 Bad news [For collection! 】

Wu Zhao didn't expect that Ning Chen stayed here to ask for a reward from himself.

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Is Zhuangyuan very greedy? Even Wan Hong can't feed you enough? I still want to come here to ask for rewards."

Ning Chen said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the conscience of heaven and earth, I have devoted myself to serving Your Majesty, but I have never asked for a penny from Wan Hong. I really borrowed my car and mansion from Wan Hong, and I still have to pay them back in the future." .”

Wu Zhao had an expression of believing that Ning Chen never had a ghost.

"Your Highness, you have to trust me. I'm really a loyal minister. I really don't give or receive privately." Ning Chen swore, as if wishing he could swear to the sky.

Wu Zhao just looked at Ning Chen and smiled without saying a word.

"Well, I'm a treacherous minister, and I regard wealth as my life." Seeing Wu Zhao's disbelief, Ning Chen simply gave up on himself.

"Reward..." Wu Zhao said a word, then paused, staring at Ning Chen with eyes like shattered gold: "How much do you want?"

Can I ask for this...Although I was surprised, Ning Chen still said, "Three hundred and five hundred is not too little, and three thousand and five thousand is not too much. It all depends on Your Highness."

Wu Zhao listened to Ning Chen's words, and the corner of his mouth curled into a perfect arc: "You are really not greedy, so I will reward you with 3000 taels."

Smaller, smaller, smaller in size.

The original owner was not rich, and Ning Chen who traveled through time was not rich either.

So in Ning Chen's view, three thousand five thousand is already a lot.

It's just that in Wu Zhao's eyes, this is really not much.

"Your Highness, I can be more greedy." Ning Chen said tentatively.

Wu Zhao's eyes turned cold: "How much do you think your head is worth?"

"Sir, thank you, Your Highness Long En."

After speaking, Ning Chen strode away to receive the reward without looking back.

After Ning Chen left, Wu Zhao couldn't help laughing.

After thinking about it, Wu Zhao wrote down on rice paper,

"Looking back and smiling at Bai Meisheng, Liugong Fendai has no color"

"Distribute this for me." Wu Zhao said to the confidant old eunuch beside him.

"Companion, do you seem to have something to say?" Wu Zhao couldn't help asking when he saw the old eunuch hesitating to speak.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry for the old servant's bluntness. I think the last song by Zhuangyuan Lang is better and more in line with Your Highness." The old eunuch said truthfully.

Wu Zhao chuckled lightly: "Banban, when did you understand poetry?"

The old eunuch laughed quickly and said, "Stay by Her Royal Highness's side, even if it's a stubborn piece of wood, it can be enlightened."

Wu Zhao didn't answer the old eunuch's words: "I've already stimulated those sour Confucians enough recently, so there's no need to continue using such poems to provoke them."

"Yes, the old slave understands." The old eunuch answered with a bow.

"Conduct an in-depth investigation on behalf of me. I want to know everything about Ning Chen." Wu Zhao told the old eunuch again.

"Yes, the old slave will send someone to do it."

……

Ning Chen received the reward, left the palace, and planned to go home to catch up on sleep.

Although I knew it was not easy to be an official in ancient times, I didn't expect it to be so difficult.

After Maslais returned to his mansion, Ning Chen saw Fatty Wan, who was already waiting at the door.

What is a sense of proportion, this is called a sense of proportion.

Although the house is mine, so are the people.

But if I'm looking for you, I'll just wait for you outside.

It is very comfortable to work with such a sense of proportion.

"Boss Wan, what do you need from me?" Ning Chen asked with a smile to Wan Hong who was standing at the door.

Wan Hong bowed: "Little man, I really have something to do with adults."

"Go in and talk, I happen to have something to do with you." Ning Chen entered first, followed by Wan Hong, who also entered the mansion.

Ning Chen arranged for the cook to make some lunch, and then let the others go to work on other things.

"Boss Wan, what do you want me for?" Ning Chen poured a glass of wine for Wan Hong.

Wan Hong hurriedly took it in panic, and then drank it down in one gulp.

After drinking, Wan Hong said to Ning Chen: "Wan is here to thank Mr. Ning, and to speak out for Wan again in the court."

"Forget about it, I'll just say it straight. Is there anything else?"

Ning Chen didn't want to get entangled in this issue, mainly because Ning Chen didn't want to be hurt anymore.

If this continues, Ning Chen won't be able to accept Wan Hong's money again, how distressed it will be.

"Master Ning, I'm here today to ask you, when can I start the procurement process.

According to what Wan knew, the date of the grand ceremony was set on the first day of the first month of Guizhou two and a half months later. "

"The first day of August? Is time so tight?" Ning Chen really didn't know this time.

The eldest princess didn't reveal half of it to Ning Chen.

"Is your news reliable?" Ning Chen asked Wan Hong.

Wan Hong nodded and said: "The news is reliable. The villain bought Si Tianjian Si Chen, and he told the villain himself. The time will not be wrong. It is estimated that it will be brought up at the meeting tomorrow."

At this time, for Ning Chen, he was not nervous at all.

There are rules for the so-called grand ceremony of establishing a reserve. I am only responsible for purchasing some things, and Wan Hong is the one who actually does the work.

However, two and a half months also happens to be the day when my system settles, so it can only be said that the timing is a bit of a coincidence.

"Since this is the case, then you should act. There is only one direction to buy, and that is unprecedented.

I went to see the eldest princess today, and the eldest princess said that she will let the three departments of labor, household and etiquette fully cooperate with me.

So you don't need to worry about someone stumbling you along the way. "

After a pause, Ning Chen smiled and said, "If you know how to behave like a boss, the three departments won't embarrass you too much. If you need my instructions, you can come to me to approve the note, and you can handle the rest by yourself."

After finishing speaking, Ning Chen added: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, this time, you have finished the errand.

You naturally earn a lot of money, and you will earn more in the future.

But if you can't do it well, or if there are some mistakes, you can't just lose your head and get it done.

I think you should have heard that this time, there are too many voices of opposition and rumors spreading about the establishment of the eldest princess as the crown prince.

So even if you do something wrong, it will be infinitely magnified in the eyes of many people. "

Wan Hong was so frightened that he hurriedly assured him with trepidation: "My lord, don't worry, the villain will follow you all the way to buy everything this time, to ensure that there will be no mistakes in quality."

Ning Chen nodded: "It's the best if you can do this. As long as you work hard and do things well, you will earn money in the future."

"Thank you for your promotion, my lord."

After talking about the ceremony of establishing the crown prince, it's time for Ning Chen to deal with the matter between himself and Fatty Wan.

"Boss Wan, give me your mansion and carriage as a discount. I bought the car and mansion."

This is something that Ning Chen thought about after receiving the reward. Where the system violates the rules, he will cut off as much as possible.

Save the time when the system will have a moth.

"My lord, is there something that the villain did not do well that made the lord dissatisfied?" When Wan Hong heard that Ning Chen wanted to give him money again, he jumped up from his seat in fright, and the sweat on his face burst out. It popped up.

"Don't be so nervous, I told you, I don't care what others say about me, but I know what kind of official I am.

So you just need to tell me the price, the princess rewarded me today, you just need to ask the price. " Ning Chen said to Wan Hong.

"If you don't ask for a price, if you don't ask for a price, I'll replace the buyer!" After waiting for a long time, before Wan Hong could offer a price, Ning Chen simply acted violently.

Sure enough, for Fatty Wan, it's better to use it horizontally.

Fatty Wan thought for a moment, then said weakly, "Seven... 7000 taels."

"How much!" Ning Chen couldn't help exclaiming when he heard the price quoted by Fatty Wan.

When Fatty Wan saw it, he thought that Ning Chen felt that his quotation was too low, so he quickly explained:

"My lord, this villa has been bought for more than seven years, and the purchase price on that day was 5000 taels.

But for more than seven years, the villain hasn't taken care of it.

It has been dilapidated a lot. If it is damaged like this, it will lose 1000 taels a year, and 8000 taels in eight years.

After the adults came in, they bought some more things, which should be deducted 1000 taels.

As for the carriage, it was originally attached to the house, so it was 7000 taels. "

This Wan Hong is really a good price to kill.

But even so, it was still more than twice the amount of money Ning Chen had in hand.

And it was Wan Hong himself who bargained down the price.

In fact, Wan Hong took good care of this house.

Except for Ning Chen's own clothes, the rest were bought by Wan Hong.

Sure enough, poverty limited my imagination.

Ning Chen originally thought that 3000 taels was not too little in this era.

You know, in the Great Wu Dynasty, a stone of rice was worth half a tael of silver.

The annual income of a middle-level peasant household is about 30 taels.

My 3000 taels is almost equivalent to the 100-year income of an ordinary middle-level farmer.

Seeing Ning Chen frowning, Wan Hong thought that Ning Chen didn't like his way of discounting at a lower price, so he tentatively said, "8000 taels is actually fine."

"Or 9000 taels is fine."

Without letting Wanhong continue, Ning Chen said directly: "Go back and calculate for me how much it is. Come to me after you figure it out. I will continue to borrow this house and carriage."

"Yes, after the villain goes back, he must check carefully." Wan Hong responded with a smile on his face.

As long as Ning Chen is willing to continue borrowing, it means that Ning Chen is not angry with himself.

As for the price, after Wan Hong decided to go back, he really had to calculate it carefully.

Wan Hong felt that he had to give one, and Ning Chen felt that it was reasonable, and at the same time, he could make himself feel that he had expressed his wish to Ning Chen.

In Wan Hong's view, Ning Chen is different from ordinary officials.If it is a corrupt official, then naturally the lower the better.If it's Qingliu, then basically they won't talk to themselves, and even if they talk to themselves, they must be based on the market price.

Ning Chen is different. In Wan Hong's mind, Ning Chen is the best official in the world, the one who can handle the facts, so Wan Hong must check carefully.

It's just that Wan Hong didn't know that Master Ning only had 3000 taels in his sleeve.

After Wan Hong was sent away, Ning Chen was also a little depressed.

"It seems that earning money can't rely on the system. It is probably quite dangerous to rely on the system to earn money. You still have to earn money yourself."

"If Ning Chen treats me like this, I guess he is the only one in the world."

After ordering people to pack up all the things, Ning Chen slept peacefully under the service of Chun Hua, Xia Zhu, Qiu Xiang and Dong Mei.

For the next period of time, for Ning Chen, it was relatively boring.

Going to the court every day, slander those censors who jumped out to oppose the establishment of the eldest princess as the reserve, add a little bit of [Ning] point.

That's right, ever since Ning Chen destroyed the step where the eldest princess compromised with Qingliu.

Those censors started to jump out again, talking about the same old things.

In their view, Ning Chen's actions were instructed by the Eldest Princess.

The Eldest Princess contradicted them, so naturally they would not continue to keep their promises and began to talk clichéd.

The emperor didn't care about it at all, just let Ning Chen fight them alone, and announced his retirement when he was tired.

Ning Chen never tires of these things, anyway, he is the one who adds [Ning] points.

Ning Chen was fighting above the court hall, and outside the court hall, Ning Chen was not idle either.

Ning Chen goes to Lanxiang Pavilion every two days.

Not for anything else, just to let those people see that he is a person with a card.

On Hongxiao's side, Ning Chen sent another song:
"One look at the city of people, and then look at the country of people"

With this poem, Ning Chen successfully went to the poker table and played poker happily.

Then Ning Chen discovered that practicing martial arts may not help his life expectancy, but playing poker is very refreshing.

At least Hongxiao loses everything every time.

During this period of time, Fatty Wan often came to Ning Chen to sign.

Fatty Wan really put his heart into it this time, because every time Fatty Wan came, Ning Chen found that Fatty Wan was obviously thinner than before.

I am still very satisfied with this Ning Chen, the eldest princess's errand must be done well, otherwise he will lose his head.

In addition, Ning Chen also discovered that he has a new source of [Ning] points.

I don't know who spread the news of the emperor's decision to establish a princess to the people, and even said that he supported it.

For the people who have a deep-rooted idea that men are superior to women, it is a reversal of the world, and it is a great treason.

The folks dare not scold the eldest princess, but Ning Chen, they don't care.

But Ning Chen, that is doing things frankly, not only does not care how others scold him, but also often sits in his Masleys, ostentatiously, for fear that everyone will not know what he has done.

In this process, Bai Renyuan really contributed a lot to Ning Chen.

According to Bai Renyuan, Ning Chen is the biggest corrupt official in the world.

Wan Hong's ability to beat himself was all due to flattery and gifts to Ning Chen.

For Bai Renyuan like this, Ning Chen finally felt that Bai Renyuan was a little cute.

After a boring month like this, Ning Chen, who was being massaged by four little maids at home, checked his panel in his spare time.

Then Ning Chen made a 'teng' and sat up.

Because Ning Chen discovered that his [loyalty] points were growing rapidly.

At this moment, Zheng Da also came in to report to Ning Chen that Wan Hong came and asked to see him.

"This is going to bring me some bad news." Ning Chen muttered, and then asked Zheng Da to bring Wan Hong in.
