What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Zhu Baran has a long face and beard, wearing an ordinary blue-black silk robe, slightly dark skin, a pair of copper bell eyes staring, making people afraid.

"Master Xue, it's not that we don't work, it's just that the dyed things are not what you want, sir."

He brought out several more brocades.

"Look, our workers here are not good either, no matter how bad people teach them, they won't be able to teach them."

Xue Xiang was so angry that he wished he could crush these things into a ball and trample them under his feet, but he still kept a smile on his face.

"Get out of here, sir," he gritted his teeth secretly.

"What are you going out for? I asked someone to bring him here."

Xie Chenyu waved, looked at the brocade brought by Zhu Baran, and threw it directly at Xue Xiang's feet.

"What do you have to say now?"

"Back then, Suzhou's brocade brocade was famous all over the world. Now that I come to Suzhou to take a look, you Xue Xiang got these for me?"

Xue Xiang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

The shopkeepers were not so afraid.

They didn't understand what "zhen" meant, they only knew that the higher-ups must be high-ranking officials from the capital, or how could even the magistrate Xue be able to control him?
Thinking about how the prefect Xue forced them to hand over the secret recipe back then, if they didn't hand it over, their family would be ruined, the feeling of having a knife stuck in their neck was too uncomfortable.

Day and night he wanted to find opportunities for revenge.

This might be an opportunity.

Zhu Baran kept on doing nothing, and suddenly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Xie Chenyu.

"Master Qingtian, I don't know what kind of official you are, but I have grievances to avenge"

Xie Chenyu rolled his eyelids, and here he is, this is called sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight.

Zhu Baran told how after Xue Xiang became the prefect, he used his power to force the dyeing workshop to hand over the secret recipe, and those who refused to obey made things difficult. Some companies even disappeared from Suzhou City directly.

"The villain really has no choice but to hand over the prescription. Who knows that Mr. Xue still dislikes it and just let the villain be a small manager. The villain is really not good at managing personnel affairs, and he can't always teach well..."

Tangtang was sweating profusely with a beard and beard, and knelt on the ground with snot and tears, which was unexpected by Xie Chenyu.

He awkwardly motioned Zhao Hai to take them down.

He got up and walked slowly in front of Xue Xiang: "Tell me, what else did you do?"

Tearing off the beastly skin in his clothes, Xie Chenyu saw a despicable and shameless soul who was ungrateful for profit.

Xue Xiang frowned.

"Your Majesty, you can't punish the crime of the humble minister without evidence. I have been in Suzhou as the magistrate these years and have not been corrupt or bribed. It is normal to have small contacts occasionally."

"My minister really didn't do anything, please be kind to the emperor"

His mind is a little abnormal, so rampant that he has forgotten the identity of the opposite emperor.

Xie Chenyu laughed.

"Is Xue Aiqing three years old? Why is she so naive?"

He waved his hand again and asked someone to invite Su Nianbai to come up.

"Others have no evidence, shopkeeper Su must have something to say."

Because he did not agree to sell the secret recipe, the dyeing workshop has moved three times, from the inner city of Suzhou, to the outer city, and then to the suburbs. The number of workers at hand has grown from more than 200 to [-] now.

Su Nianbai knelt on the ground calmly, and said it neither humble nor overbearing.

My heart was already pounding, and my legs were already weak.

God knows why the merchant who was still ordering in the dyeing workshop two days ago turned into a high-ranking official from the capital.

"Xue Xiang, what else do you have to say!"

Xie Chenyu was too lazy to say more.

YouQi heard that his uncle had been living so hard these years, and his heart welled up with anger, wishing he could arrest Xue Xiang and chop him up.

"I... I didn't, I was wronged"

The elegant and polite Jinshi has long since disappeared, and the person in front of him is like a mean mangy dog ​​throwing himself on the ground, barking loudly.

Xie Chenyu didn't want to hear a word, turned angrily and returned to his seat.

"Come here, take Xue Xiang to Zhao Prison, and I will personally interrogate him after returning to Beijing."

What is Zhao Prison? Xue Xiang knew very well that it was the Emperor's private prison, which was not under the control of the Ministry of Punishments and the Third Division.

If the emperor wanted to behead his head, he would be escorted to the Meridian Gate and asked to be beheaded immediately.

The emperor thought that Ling Chi would see the bones on the same day.

Xue Xiang immediately collapsed: "Your Majesty, this humble minister was wronged, and I was also forced. What's wrong with me?"

"I didn't get any of the money. I'm also a new magistrate. It's only been a few years. How dare I do such a thing?"

"What do I get up early and go to bed late every day?"

"Is it easy for me? There are so many dyeing workshops in Suzhou City, I want to investigate each one and deal with each one!"

"I'm just a poor scholar. If I don't rely on him, who can I rely on?!"

"It's hard to be an official if there is no one in the court. If I don't do this, I will lose my hat immediately"

Xue Xiang was completely frightened, and began to speak incoherently.

Xie Chenyu frowned.

"Who are you talking about?"

"Meng Shangshu"

There was only one Meng Shangshu in the Dasheng Dynasty, Meng Zhengye, the Minister of the Household Department, the old Shangshu who worked hard in the Household Department, wore the simplest old clothes every day, and even patched them up occasionally.

He is the father of Concubine Meng in the palace.

Concubine Meng used to be favored, she was low-key enough, and she entered the palace at a young age to be entrusted with a high position, and she did not need the green lantern to spend the rest of her life, all because of Meng Shangshu.

"Meng Zhengye"

Xie Chenyu laughed suddenly, knocking on the teacup at hand for a while, this game is really getting more and more interesting.

He didn't come to Jiangnan to find a relative, but he found the long tail of that old guy Meng Zhengye.

The benevolent and simple image of Meng Zhengye immediately appeared in his mind.

Someone asked him why such a fat job as the Minister of the Household Department wore old clothes every day, Meng Zhengye smiled and stroked his gray beard.

"The old man is quite old, what are you doing in such bright clothes?"

"If you want to live, just think about what you should do?"

With a wave of the emperor's hand, Xue Xiang was taken away screaming, and his tragic screams could still be heard far away.

Xie Chenyu looked at Su Nianbai again.

He knelt straight on the ground with no expression on his face, like an ice sculpture.

"Treasurer Su?"

Xie Chenyu yelled several times before Su Nianbai kowtowed tremblingly.

"You... are the emperor?"

I have never eaten pork but I have seen pigs running. Even those who have heard of books know that the emperor is the king of a country, the lord of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the great prosperity.

"get up"

"No...", Su Nianbai didn't dare.

The dusty past flooded into his heart, a large number of memories squeezed into his mind, and his head suddenly ached sharply.

Those things that were deliberately forgotten came back in an instant.

"Sister, the emperor, you are the emperor, you are back again?"

Xie Chenyu's face sank like water, he slowly got up and approached in person, wanting to help Su Nianbai up with his own hands.

Su Nianbai dodged suddenly, stood up, and grabbed Xie Chenyu's collar uncontrollably.

"You give me back my sister"

"My sister left with you and never came back. She is so beautiful, so good-natured, and has a soft temper. She will cry when she sees ants on a rainy day. How did you treat her!"

Xie Chenyu was grabbed by him and shook violently.

One is tall and young, the other has a bent back and gray temples.

He had no strength to escape.

"I can't stand her"

"You still have the face to say!"

A heavy punch hit Xie Chenyu's chest, and Xie Chenyu took a step back with a muffled grunt.

Zhao Hai, who came in from the outside, was so scared that he almost knelt on the ground: "Bold, you don't want to die..."
