Chapter 62 Clues

Cao Jiajia's finger was about to poke Yang Yuqing and the sisters' faces, but Duanmu Qiao strode in from the outside and kicked them over.

The entire courtroom became chaotic in an instant after this kick. Cao Jiajia brought a lot of people with her when she came out today. She was going to fight. Of course, she had to bring more people.

So as soon as she fell down, the maids, women, and servants of the family rushed up, trying to help her up in a hurry.

Yang Yuqing felt a little numb looking at these things piled up together. None of the maids in this family look very smart?
"Get up for the old lady, how can you get up like this, Missy?"

Yang Yuqing was watching the fun when she heard the voice of an old woman coming from the crowd.

"Where did the rude boy dare to attack our young lady? I think you are impatient. Isn't it a bit bad for Mr. Tang to watch others attack my young lady like this?" The old lady looked at the people on the opposite side. The appearance of refraining from oil and salt can only put pressure on Mr. Tang.

After all, Mr. Tang's father-in-law is under the hands of Prime Minister Cao. Whether it is for his father-in-law's official position or for himself, it is impossible for him to watch the prime minister bullying his young lady in his court without being indifferent.

Master Tang did not dare to offend Prime Minister Cao, nor General Pingbei, this one who just came in, and he dared not offend this one even more, when he saw the face of the beating boy clearly, he scrambled in his position come this way.

"I have seen the fifteenth prince, I have just lost my eyesight, and I ask the fifteenth prince to forgive me." Master Tang felt that the most unlucky day in his life might be today.

When the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion heard Mr. Tang's address, they knelt down on the floor: "I beg the fifteenth prince to forgive me, I beg the fifteenth prince to forgive my sin..."

"Jing Zhaoyin, take out the booklet of the registered shop! I want to see what's going on with this shop?" Duanmu Qiao is quite clear about the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, so he came here to enter the palace to meet the saint. Afterwards, he immediately asked his elder brother to settle the matter of the store first. After all, the state-owned store will be sold soon. Since they have a house deed, they have to go and register first. The registered store will be It will no longer be offered for sale.

At that time, three of the six shops wrote the name of their own daughter-in-law, saying that they would give it to the daughter-in-law as a dowry in the future, one of the other three wrote the name of the mother-in-law, and the other two wrote the name of the sister-in-law. The two are also going to be a dowry for my sister-in-law.

Mr. Tang still has a deep memory of this incident. After all, no one else's shop has been allocated like this. There is no man in the family, and all of them are given to the girls and mothers in the family.

When he saw General Pingbei today, he really didn't recognize him. After all, when he came to register the store that day, he didn't say that he was General Pingbei, but just reported his name and deed.

If he hadn't seen the gold medal representing his identity today, he would not have been able to imagine that a general looks like a scholar, not at all like someone who goes to war.

The most important thing now is how to solve this matter in front of me?He couldn't afford to offend both parties, but he couldn't do it if he didn't solve it. If the trouble was brought before the emperor, neither of them could get it right.

When the clerk next to him heard that the [-]th prince wanted to see the register, his heart skipped a beat. There have been many shops in Kyoto in the past two years, and they were sent here after the house was confiscated. Mr. Tang may not know how many there are. It was sold by his brother-in-law, but he, the scribe, knew about it. After all, he was the one who kept records of this booklet, regardless of whether it came in or out.

But he really didn't know about this time. After all, General Pingbei, when they came to register, he had already recorded these shops and changed all the contracts. He really didn't know Mr. Tang. How did my brother-in-law get those old deeds?
But Master Tang can't solve this matter, isn't there his father-in-law?Although he is only a third-rank Cong, but no matter what he says, he will carry more weight than Mr. Tang.

The clerk tremblingly held the booklet in front of the fifteenth prince. Duanmu Qiao opened it page by page, and checked each one. From the fifth prince to the seventh prince, the capital and its surrounding areas were at least as good as the past three years. Two or three hundred shops were taken back.

However, there are only a few dozens of relatively remote locations, and even some worthless shops in the alleys. The others have all been sold, but the silver taels recorded are not correct at all.

"The shopkeeper of the Cao family, tell me how much your eldest lady spent to buy that shop?" Duanmu Qiao stared dangerously at the shopkeeper who was first brought over by his brother-in-law.

"Four, 4000 taels of silver, my eldest lady bought three, and the price is the same." The shopkeeper was a little stuttering, and he couldn't answer, because he had already told General Pingbei about it in the morning.

"A shop costs 4000 taels, but there is 300 taels and 500 taels recorded here, none of which exceeds 800 taels. As a result, each of these shops bought from outside costs several thousand taels. Where did all the money go?" Duanmu Qiao looked carefully. , Look carefully, no wonder his brother said that the treasury has no money, and he has to search the house to fill the treasury.

With these moths, how can the treasury be filled?This is only a small part. The Zhuangzi fields on the outskirts of Kyoto account for a lot more than the shops in Kyoto and the surrounding areas.

But the treasury has no money, so it seems that he can't blame his brother, but blame them for having a prodigal father. The two brothers took over, and this poor and clinking Great Qin country has to work hard by itself to make money by raiding the house.

Suddenly I feel that my two brothers are a little pitiful, the poor are so pitiful!
It was the first time for Yang Yuling to see this side of this child, and she felt that she was pretending to be quite a model.

"On the main entrance street of the Imperial Palace, a store only sells 300 taels of silver? Master Tang, I remember that I bought a store on the main entrance street of the Imperial Palace for 1 taels. You only write 300 taels for a store here? 300 taels? How did you write it down? ?" Duanmu Qiao almost laughed angrily at the amount above, he really didn't expect Master Tang to be so greedy.

1 taels of shops are written here, but only 300 taels are written, there is a gap of 700 taels of silver, a total of 700 taels of silver...

Mr. Tang lay on the ground and shivered. He just heard that the fifteenth prince said that he bought 1 taels in a shop, and his whole body trembled even more. The batch of 1 taels was taken out by himself. to buy.

Because they are all shops with the best locations on the busiest streets in Kyoto, that's why he dared to ask for 1 taels.Duanmu Qiao, who was still the second son of Zhongyong Hou at that time, bought two.

His brother-in-law is not his father-in-law's son-in-law, but a concubine's concubine's son, and the monthly money given by the mansion is not enough to spend, so there are many places that need money.
