Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 130 Serve more with one stone

As night fell, the small owner of the teahouse wanted to close his stall, but the old Han Tuo's people continued to come.

"Let's go to my newly rented small courtyard." He was in a hurry, and urgently needed Brother Shen to come up with a way to disgust Mrs. Gao tomorrow.

Shen Chuxia got up, put one hand on his forehead, and waved the other hand at him, signaling him not to talk, time was tight, he was confused, there was no schedule, it was simply an impossible task.

Seeing that she was silent, Old Han Tuo asked cautiously, "What did you think of?"

"I think……"

Shen Chuxia still felt that her thoughts were inappropriate, and just about to veto her thoughts, Zhishi appeared in front of them: "Miss Shen, Your Highness invites you to have dinner together."

night?Shen Chuxia looked up at the sky, and at some point, it was already dark, and the street lights were lit up, and thousands of houses were lit up, making it a warm feeling on the way home.

Looking up at the night sky again, the stars are dotted, vast and vast.

Tomorrow will be a sunny day.

She made a decision in an instant, "Uncle Tuo, come here."

Old Han Tuo's eyes lit up, and he quickly leaned in front of her, "Thought it?"

Shen Chuxia clung to his ear and said softly, "You let the disciples..."

There is only a short sentence, "That's it?" What kind of disgusting is this?

"Miss Shen, His Highness is waiting for you." Zhishi reminded the two of them.

Shen Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled lightly, "Try it, how will you know if you don't try?" After speaking, he turned around, "Let's go, General Zhi."

Zhishi held the big knife at his waist, looked at Old Han Tuo, then at the few gangsters standing aside, turned around and followed Shen Chuxia, "Miss Shen, Your Highness is not in the palace."

"Where is that?"

"You'll know when you come with me."

In November, it was cold and windy, and it was really not a pleasant experience to stand outside the attic and watch the scenery.

Standing in the attic, Shen Chuxia put her hands on the edge of the stove to keep warm, looked at Ji Chong's lonely back, and shouted, "Your Highness, you can also watch the stars inside the house!"

In fact, she knew that the direction he was looking at was Gao Taishi's residence.

Ji Chong must be in a bad mood now that he hasn't caught the stolen money, and he can't stop Mrs. Gao's high-profile birthday behavior.

Sighing, Shen Chuxia stepped out of the attic, stood behind him, pursed her lips, slowly stretched out her arms, and gently wrapped them around his waist.

When Mu Tong saw this, he hurried out of the room with his attendant guards, Ruo Da's attic, there were only two of them inside and outside.

Ji Chong lowered his head, put his hands around his belly, and he stretched out his hand to cover her smooth back, "Do you think I'm useless?"

"Why would Your Highness say that?"

"With an army of 30 in hand, the Gao family is allowed to run rampant in the government."

Shen Chuxia's cheek was pressed against his back, and the coolness that came in was instantly warmed by his warm back.

"Sometimes it only takes a blink of an eye to overthrow a government, but it takes years, decades, or even generations to build a government that is safe for the country and the people. Your Highness is right to worry."

Standing at the pinnacle of power, almost no one understands Ji Chong's inner struggle of weighing pros and cons, but she just pointed out his long-standing concerns in one sentence.

He turned around and held her hand, "Eat first."

Shen Chuxia leaned on his arm, stuck to him and walked to the table, "Yes, the sky is big and the earth is big, eating is the big thing."

Ji Chong stretched out his hand to pinch her nose, "Say, what are you doing with the little old man?"

"He's only 38 years old, not a little old man."

Ji Chong twitched the corner of his mouth, "Is he still thinking about 100 million taels?"

Shen Chuxia nodded, "He still thinks about how disgusting Grand Master Gao will be tomorrow."

Ji Chong paused, "Have you figured it out?"

"That's right. I'm afraid I won't be disgusting to him, but at most it will stink his reputation."

Ji Chong understands that she used to praise his virtuous name, but now she smears Gao's reputation, which is her usual trick. For a big corrupt official who is old, treacherous, and greedy, reputation is nothing, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Ji Chong raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and pulled her to sit down to eat.

Seeing him, Shen Chuxia was still in a bad mood, "Your Highness, why don't you make Gao Shi sick too?"

"How evil?"

"I heard that the Grand Master's Mansion will set off fireworks at night to warm up one's life. How about setting it off before him to steal his limelight?"

Ji Chong didn't seem very interested in this childish behavior.

Shen Chuxia gave him the cloth bowl and chopsticks.

Ji Chong looked at her: "Citrus citrus..."

The door was pushed, and Zhishi came in immediately.

"First set off the fireworks at the grand master's residence, and keep putting them behind him."

Zhishi was puzzled, but he was a good and obedient guard, "Yes, Your Highness."

Shen Chuxia smiled and said, "If anyone asks, just say that His Highness is celebrating leaving the order."

divorce?

what is itZhizhi turned her head to look at her master.

"Do as the little lady says."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Shen Chuxia had a guilty conscience and touched her nose, "His Royal Highness, if this is an excuse..."

"No, fine."

Shen Chuxia smiled sheepishly and hurried to eat.

After eating a table of hot hot pot, she felt warm all over. Ji Chong put on a big cloak, wrapped her up and went to the highest step of the building to watch the lights of Wanjia in the capital.

Shen Chuxia leaned excitedly in his arms, protected tightly by him, "Your Highness, don't worry, no matter how much money flows into Gao Taishi's residence, it will belong to the Great Wei Dynasty and you in the end."

"I hope this group of young people will grow up quickly."

"Your Highness..."

Ji Chong looked into the distance, listening to her sweet words, but after she called, there was no sound, and he looked down at her.

She was looking up at him with her little face up.

"Ok?"

"I heard that Master Geng has a younger brother, right?"

"Why are you talking about him?"

"I heard that he is a big thorn, isn't he?"

Ji Chong smiled softly, "Yes, I have stayed in all six divisions and nine ministers. Each position lasted up to three months, but I was persuaded to quit by my boss. I left the capital three years ago to travel around the mountains and rivers. I don't know where I am now?"

"I know where he is."

Ji Chong raised his eyebrows.

"Master Geng is moderate, Taifu Geng looks like he is hiding in the city, waiting for something, why not use Master Geng?"

Ji Chong's pretty eyebrows twitched.

"Your young officials are all born in poor families, and an old grand master goes to the bank to borrow usurious loans on his birthday. In less than two years, their fighting spirit to rise to the clouds will be folded in five buckets of rice, and there is no talk of growth."

Ji Chong clenched his fists tightly, with a forbearance on his face.

"At first I also thought Mrs. Gao was greedy for money, but I found that Mrs. Gao is more shrewd than being greedy for money. On the one hand, he can be greedy for money by collecting birthday gifts. Binding them with five buckets of rice without knowing it, he corrupted the blank officials who had just entered the officialdom by boiling frogs in warm water, so that they were enslaved unconsciously and became his official slaves."

Bang!
Ji Chong punched the pillar beside him.

Shen Chuxia sighed and said again, "The loaned money in the bank is probably the 100 million taels of stolen silver from Hengnan. The young officials loaned the silver and sent it to the Grand Master's Mansion, and they laundered the stolen silver in a flash."

A birthday, serve multiple purposes.

Mrs. Gao is far more villainous than they imagined, no wonder it has been established for so many years, it is not unreasonable.

The fireworks soared with a bang, extremely gorgeous.

Shen Chuxia gently held Ji Chong's hand that smashed the pillar, and said with a smile, "The imperial examination has already started, and the gap between Gao's cronies in the officialdom has been torn open. With you standing behind these young people, I believe that it is only time for the Gao family to fall. question."

Ji Chong asked, "How did you know about Geng Qili?"

"Uncle Tuo."

"What do you want him to do? Add trouble to Mrs. Gao?"

Shen Chuxia shook her head, "No, it's to exclude Gao Shi."

"Isn't this what Gao has been doing to me?"

"That's right, let's treat the person in the same way as the person."

Ji Chong thought for a moment, "Which department should I put it?"

"The Ministry of War is yours, the Ministry of Industry has a neutral Mr. Shen, the Dali Temple has Wen Shaoqing, and the Ministry of Households can't squeeze in now..."

"Ministry of Rites?" Ji Chong pondered, he had always wanted to defeat the Ministry of Households, which controlled the money and power of the Great Wei Dynasty, and hold the Ministry of Officials, who were promoted by officials.

Shen Chuxia smiled, "Where to put him, this Highness knows better than me."

Ji Chong raised his eyebrows, "With that old man, can I really know so much?"

Shen Chuxia laughed and said, "It's mainly me, who is interested in everything and likes to think about it. Compared to you, I am from the perspective of a bystander, so...Your Highness...You understand that."

Ji Chong sighed softly, "I really understand, if you want to flatter, you can fly, and if you want to cheat people, you can cheat people completely."

"Your Highness..." It's easy for her to stand here to accompany him while still being his confidant big sister.

A face of false grievances, but actually a face of small pride and pride, this little expression is damn greedy.

What Gao Shi is not Gao Shi, standing under the starry sky filled with fireworks, at this moment, he just wants to enjoy life and bow his head.

After the N word.

Ji Chong asked, "How about getting married next year?"

"Ah..." Shen Chuxia didn't know where Shen Chuxia was kissed by someone.

Ji Chong smiled, pinched her nose, "I just want to marry you home as soon as possible."

Shen Chuxia didn't know what would happen in the future, and suddenly pointed to the sky, "Look, Your Highness, what a beautiful fireworks."

The long hair curled up in an arc as she turned her head, her side face was half exposed, her bright eyes and white teeth were decorated with fireworks like a fairy in a painting, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her gaze was shining brightly.

Ji Chong throbbed.

He stretched out his arms to hug her, and shared the gorgeous fireworks in the world with her, "It's not the disgusting old lady, is it you who want to see it?"

"No, just to see this, a lot of money is gone, so it's not worth it." Killing Shen Chuxia will not admit it, snuggle into his heart, listen to his heartbeat, the moonlight is just right tonight, half of his face falls on In the bright moonlight, it looks like a god.

Shen Chuxia lowered her eyelashes, suppressed her beating heart like a deer, and the corners of her mouth curled into a sweet curve.She is obviously not a young girl, but under the gorgeous fireworks, her heart is also full of romance, and she also wants to go to a human fireworks with him.

Mrs. Gao's birthday was really extravagant. According to the rank of officials, all the famous restaurants in the capital that could be ordered by him were full of seats. It is said that there were more than 300 tables.

Standing in Jichong's Anfeng Building, looking across, it is Gaochen Industry, the No. 1 building of the Great Wei Dynasty—Yuanqing Building. From the early morning, there is a lot of people and traffic at the door.

"It is said that for the safety of the mansion, Gao Taishi's mansion only accepts money before the birthday every year, and all banquets are held in restaurants."

Ji Chong hooked his lips, "This is the case for people who are afraid of death."

Shen Chuxia smiled, "The richer the person, the more afraid of death."

Ji Chong snorted coldly, and left the window with his hands behind his back, "Close it." He didn't want to look at it.

Shen Chuxia looked into the distance. It was still early, and those people hadn't arrived yet, so she closed the window first. She stretched out her hand to close the window.

"Are you really going to use Yexiang to disgust him?"

Shen Chuxia shook her head, "I think so, but I still think it's cheap for him."

On the street, the guards of the Grand Master's Mansion, the soldiers of the capital, the guards of the regent's king, and the regent king's imperial army drove the bustling street away so hard that even a bird could not fly.

On the top floor of the Yuanqing Building, the chief guard of the Grand Master's Mansion stood in front of Gao Chen, with a worried look on his face, "My lord, in terms of soldiers, we are not the regent's opponents. Looking at it like this, I'm afraid something will happen."

Gao Chen raised his eyes to look at him, "If nothing happens, what do I want you to do?" His eyes were dark.

"Yes." The head of the guard was so frightened that his forehead was sweating.

"I don't care what method you use, protect the restaurant for me, and keep the idlers from approaching."

"Yes, yes." The head guard didn't dare to say anything, he quickly saluted and left.

The staff waited for the head of the guard to go out, and they were also a little worried, "Shaoqing, last night, Ji Chong set off fireworks for more than half an hour, and I heard that it cost ten thousand taels of silver."

Speaking of this, Gao Chen's face became even more gloomy, ten thousand taels of silver is nothing, it's a bad idea.

"Give me a killer if necessary."

"Shaoqing?" The staff was surprised, "Is it necessary?"

"What do you think?" He got up and walked to the window, pushed a crack, and looked across the street, where the window was closed.

Whether it's 100 million taels, or the loan shark's money that was hacked by Yu Shitai, Ji Chong was too quiet, "What is that old man doing now?"

"Return to Your Highness, and send his younger brother to look for the one million taels that he didn't get."

Gao Chen grinned and closed the window, "I'll do him today."

"Yes, Shaoqing, I'll make arrangements for you, my little one."

On Grand Master Gao’s birthday, most officials were on vacation, but Lu Qi was not. He was still standing at the gate, sitting in the control room, looking at the boat’s account, and a river guard came in to drink water.

"My lord..." he called after taking a sip of water.

Lu Qi raised his eyes, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing." The river guard felt that the two boats of porcelain went in and came out again, and it wasn't a big deal if they didn't sell them, so he turned around and went out to work with a smile.

Lu Qi stopped him, "Say what you want."

The river guard scratched his head, "It's the porcelain boat that said he knew Miss Shen, and actually transported the porcelain out of the capital again."

He thought it was something, "Maybe the business is not doing well."

"That's right, even the Beijing officials have loaned out the money, so there are still people buying porcelain."

"Wait, what did you say?"

"Lord Lu, don't you know?" the river guard was surprised.

"What do I need to know?"

The river guard suddenly remembered, "I see, you are the regent's man, so no one would dare to do anything to you unless you gave Grand Master Gao a gift."

Lu Qi was still confused, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

So the river guard told him the rumors he heard when the capital was opened.

Lu Qi frowned, thought for a moment, put down the account book, "I'm going to the capital." After finishing speaking, he tidied up his clothes and left the control room.

When jumping on the gate, he habitually looked at the river.

Eyes collided with people.

An old man was stunned for a moment, then quickly saluted and smiled at him honestly.

He was anxious, didn't think about it, hurried ashore, took a few steps, felt something was wrong, turned around quickly, looked at the old man, then looked at the two boats of porcelain, and looked away calmly.
