The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

This time, Mao Zhengqing's words silenced Zhang Fan and the three present. Originally, they thought it was very troublesome for them to deal with the money. We all put ourselves in danger for the money's sake.

But if he doesn't deal with it, Zhang Fan is worried that those people will come to ask for it. In this way, the 10 taels of silver seems to be a lot, but it is definitely not enough for these people. When they were troubled by not being able to find a solution, and wanted to get some possible hints from Mao Zhengqing, none of them thought that Mao Zhengqing would tell them so.

Speaking of which, these were not Mao Zhengqing's own words, in fact, it was equivalent to that he was passing on the message for those people, but the content of the message was not at all relaxing.

"What did you say?" Zhang Fan was naturally surprised by Mao Zhengqing's words, "Those people want to give me that money, the more than 80 taels of silver,"

"Yes, my lord, that's what happened." Apparently, Mao Zhengqing had expected that Zhang Fan would behave like this after hearing his words, so now he is not surprised at all, "Then Ding Youyang is This is what I told the lower officials, and the lower officials also told my lord the truth, and there was nothing false about it, "

"Then..." Mao Zhengqing's calm answer made Zhang Fan calm down a lot. He thought for a while and continued to ask, "Then they said, should the money be given to me or handed over to me?" Leave it to me,"

"This...they didn't say anything," Mao Zhengqing thought for a while, and said, "Ding Youyang said that the money was handed over to the adults, but they didn't know whether to let the adults handle it or let the adults hold it. Didn't make it clear,"

When Mao Zhengqing said this, Zhang Fan and the three of them fully understood, not only what they understood, but also what Ding Youyang was up to, Zhang Fan also understood clearly. Thinking of this, Zhang Fan, Feng Bao, and even Liu Xian all laughed.

Seeing the expressions on Zhang Fan's face, Mao Zhengqing obviously got it wrong, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I feel that there may be a conspiracy here."

"Oh," Zhang Fan asked, still smiling, "Then...in Lord Mao's opinion, what kind of conspiracy and tricks are these people planning?"

"My lord, I'm afraid they want to frame your lord," Mao Zhengqing didn't realize Zhang Fan's intentions, and said to himself, "If your lord takes this money and puts it in his pocket, when the time comes, the money will be lost." I'm afraid that the partner will sue the Lord to search for the people's fat and the people's cream, and Ding Youyang is also the father-in-law of the Duke of Qian. Not to suffer.

"This official Ding Youyang has known him for some years. He was very arrogant and domineering when he was not in the family of Prince Mu's mansion. Since his daughter married Duke Qian, this Ding Youyang has become even worse. No, let's not pay attention to Xiaguan and others.

"My lord humiliated him so much before, which made him feel that he couldn't bear it. But as a lord, he didn't dare to do anything. He couldn't bear it, so he found a way to frame his lord,"

Mao Zhengqing's words, Zhang Fan and the others had already thought about it a long time ago, being in the officialdom and becoming an official, whether it is Zhang Fan or Feng Bao, whoever has not experienced such a thing, even if Zhang Fan is His qualifications are not deep, but he has seen too much of this kind of thing, especially after he became the commander of Jinyiwei, he can see all kinds of things about Jinyiwei, and this kind of thing has become more breathless. There are more ordinary things.

And Feng Bao, needless to say, as a eunuch, his previous actions were not very glorious. If you want to count, Feng Bao can be regarded as a great expert in framing people. How could he be so shallow? can not tell.

Even Liu Xian, who has fought a war all his life and only knows how to charge forward, has been exposed to this kind of thing.

Therefore, what Ding Youyang did was tantamount to playing tricks, making Zhang Fan and the others think it was a joke. After hearing what Mao Zhengqing said just now, the first thing that came to mind of the three of them was this possibility, and, This is the only possibility.

However, Zhang Fan still asked Mao Zhengqing what he thought. It wasn't that Zhang Fan was bored and wanted to make fun of Mao Zhengqing. He actually wanted to hear what Mao Zhengqing would say about this matter. From how he said this matter, we can roughly see what kind of person Mao Zhengqing is, and this can also relieve Zhang Fan's previous doubts to a certain extent.

After hearing what Mao Zhengqing said and the worry on his face, Zhang Fan knew it in his heart. It seems that Mao Zhengqing was wrongly blamed before. Not necessarily innocent, but his heart is not bad.

This made Zhang Fan start to think about how to deal with Mao Zhengqing again, but now, this matter is not necessary.

"Master Zhang..." Seeing that Zhang Fan didn't show any nervousness after listening to such a "serious" matter he said, Mao Zhengqing was stunned for a while. He became flustered, "This matter should not be underestimated. Ding Youyang's actions are clearly intended to harm the adults. If the adults despise them, I'm afraid they will..."

"Master Mao, I already know." Although Zhang Fan was still smiling, he straightened his face and said to Mao Zhengqing, "I will seriously consider the solution to this matter, don't worry, Ding Youyang thinks Using this trick to deal with me is still a little tender,"

Zhang Fan is not bragging, it's just the truth. He has seen this kind of thing too much. For Ding Youyang and others, maybe this is a good way, but for Zhang Fan, this way is too much. It is too old-fashioned. In Zhang Fan's memory, he only needs to follow the methods recorded in the files he has read, and there are no less than ten methods to solve this problem, and there are four or five methods among them. It can not only make Ding Youyang's trick come to nothing, but also make the money fall into his own pocket.

It can only be said that Ding Youyang is trying to use a conscious and effective method to deal with a big expert who has long known about it. This is simply asking for a dead end.

But Zhang Fan didn't intend to add insult to injury, even if the other party wanted to put him to death, but Zhang Fan didn't intend to use his own way to punish him, and killing for no reason was unnecessary.

"It's just..." Zhang Fan continued to ask Mao Zhengqing, "I'm a little surprised, the 80 taels of silver, presumably, were looted from a few big families in Yongning Mansion. This sum of money is definitely not just that of Ding Youyang's family.

"But now, Ding Youyang is the only one who has offended me. Others are not like this, but Ding Youyang's idea now is to give me all the 80 taels of silver, so other people will be willing." ,"

This is what Zhang Fan wants to ask. Yes, no matter what Ding Youyang thinks, but he does not own the money alone. The other companies are willing to let him do this. Zhang Fan thinks it is not the case, after all. As long as the matter is related to money, many people will become very stubborn. What's more, this matter was completely provoked by Ding Youyang from the beginning to the end, and it has nothing to do with other people. But now, if these people are to spend money for the mistakes made by Ding Youyang alone, these people may not be willing to think about it.

However, the way things are now, it is obvious that those people all obey Ding Youyang's order. Yes, it is an order, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it is not too much at all, and this is another thing that Zhang Fan can't understand. Therefore, he still needs to ask Mao Zhengqing.

Originally, Zhang Fan thought that there might be something going on here, but as expected, when Mao Zhengqing heard Zhang Fan's question, the expression on his face made it look like there must be many reasons for it.

"What's the matter, Master Mao?" Seeing his appearance, Zhang Fan teased him with a smile, "Could it be that there are some things that are not easy to say?"

"No, no, Mr. Zhang has misunderstood something," Mao Zhengqing said hastily, "after all, this is talking about other people's affairs, and it has nothing to do with the lower official, but... the lower official said these words, I really feel that a little ashamed,"

"Shame." This time it was Zhang Fan's turn to be curious again, "There is nothing to be ashamed of."

"Master Zhang doesn't know something," Mao Zhengqing said with a sigh, "If Ding Youyang is the only one, the lower officials don't care. Even though he is Duke Qian's in-laws, Prince Mu's Mansion is a little far away. .

"However, Ding Youyang is not the only one. All the big families in Yongning Mansion are guided by Ding Youyang. If Ding Youyang said something, those people will definitely do it. In this way, the officials will be a little bit powerless. After all, there are a dozen or so big families in this city who can talk. If all these people are linked together and say the same thing, even the government can't pretend to ignore it.

"It's just that the shame that the lower official said is not just these. In fact, those people are surrounded by Ding Youyang, and what they say, the lower official can't do anything about it."

"I can understand that." Zhang Fan didn't mean to blame him, "Since that's the case, I want to see this time, what kind of ability this Ding Youyang has against me."
