After dressing up as a vicious female supporting character, she turned into a white moonlight

Chapter 42 Are you really willing to disappoint His Majesty?

The butler didn't care anymore and came in quickly, "Sir, there are rumors flying around that you want to restore the reputation of the banquet, and in order to be worthy of His Majesty's reputation as "the most kind as water", you have decided to donate 50,000 taels of silver to Zhuzhou!"

"What?!" Zhang Shengmin was shocked!

When Zhang Zhongshan heard the last sentence, he fainted with anger!

"Father! Come quickly! Get the doctor!"

"Hey!! Master!"

The Zhang Mansion suddenly turned into a mess!

The doctor finally came over, checked his pulse and prescribed a prescription. He only said that he was in a state of intense heat, and that he fainted after a short while, and that he would be fine after a while.

After saying that, he took out the silver needle and pricked it a few more times, and then Zhang Chongshan faintly woke up.

As a result, before anyone could have a good rest, Xiao Huanshan came over with Xu Huaili in the evening.

Especially Xu Huaili, who had a sword on his waist and directly mobilized a group of strong men and horses from the military camp.

His posture didn't look like someone asking someone to donate money, but rather like someone ransacking a house!
  Xiao Huanshan had a graceful demeanor and a warm smile. He said to Zhang Chongshan, whose face was blue and black, "Taifu Zhang is a great righteous man. I am grateful for Taifu's kind deeds. I would also like to express my gratitude to Taifu in advance of the people of this generation in Zhuzhou."

Zhang Chongshan's mind was buzzing, and he kept thinking about Xiao Huanshan's "great righteousness, Zhuzhou, and thanks"

Zhang Shengmin said angrily, "What is Mr. Xiao's intention when he comes here so late and says some specious things?"

"Your Majesty sent us to collect donations. Naturally, we are here in the hope that the Imperial Master can donate generously to save the people from the fire and water." Xiao Huanshan did not feel embarrassed at all when faced with the anger of the visitor. On the contrary, he became more and more calm.

The sky is getting darker and darker, making people breathless.

Zhang Chongshan gasped, "I, I should naturally contribute to the people of Zhuzhou."

"Master Taifu understands the great righteousness, and the younger generation is respectful. Isn't this..." Xiao Huanshan pointed to the group of people behind him.

"I heard that the Grand Master wanted to donate 50,000 taels, so he didn't let General Xu come with him. He was also worried that if something went wrong with such a large sum of money, it would be difficult to deal with it."

He also kindly explained it to Zhang Chongshan.

"You...!" Zhang Chongshan pointed his trembling hand at Xiao Huanshan. How could this be for the safety of his money?

This, this is obviously here to rob! ! !
  Fifty thousand taels! ! ? ? Half of his wealth will be wiped out! !

"You also said it, Mr. Xiao... I just heard it! This matter is obviously a rumor."

"Besides, I also intend to donate money to Zhuzhou. It's a small thought but disrespectful. I also hope that the people of Zhuzhou can get through the difficulties as soon as possible and that Mr. Xiao can deliver his mission as soon as possible. If not, I will make a statement to His Majesty!! "Zhang Chongshan suppressed his anger and asked someone to take out a box and hand it to Xu Huaili.

Xu Huaili didn't answer or say anything. He was still holding the sword with one hand and putting the other on his back. He was extremely cold, with a posture that showed no trace of oil or salt!
  Xiao Huanshan smiled and said, "We all know what Taifu Zhang is thinking, and the people in the capital know it. We also respect your virtue, Taifu Zhang. You have always had both ability and political integrity, but..."

When the conversation changed, Xiao Huanshan took two steps forward slowly and lowered his voice by two points, "Taifu Zhang, your Majesty has high expectations for you. After all, he personally gave you the calligraphy treasure on the day of the banquet, but in front of all the ministers, As a witness, are you..."

"Are you really willing to disappoint His Majesty?"

A faint ringing sounded in Zhang Chongshan's ears, and he suddenly recalled the scene of His Majesty's personal arrival that day.

Zhang Zhongshan was shocked and suddenly raised his eyes to stare at him, trying to see what was wrong with him?

In just three seconds, Xiao Huanshan smiled slightly, his smile floating on the surface. Xiao Huanshan was very steady. After he finished speaking, he took a step back, clasped his hands together, bent down and saluted, and said seriously, "I admire your great righteousness, Grand Master!"

"I admire you!" Xu Huaili was finally willing to take out his hands, and followed Xiao Huanshan's example, bowing to the Taifu.

Zhang Zhongshan was forced to take a step back, with a sullen look on his face. He held his head with a headache, gritted his teeth, calmed his breath and asked the housekeeper to get the money, and also gave him the key to his private vault.

"Father!" Zhang Shengmin's expression changed, "Is it possible that our family really wants to donate fifty thousand taels??"

Zhang Chongshan raised his hand to stop his son's words, his wrinkled face became more solemn, "Shut up! Do as I say!"

Zhang Shengmin was resentful and dissatisfied. Seeing these two people strolling around in the courtyard as if they were entering their own courtyard, and even taking the time to drink tea, he was furious.

He just couldn't understand why his father cared about an illusory reputation? !
  It's just a rumor, how can you stop the mouths of those untouchables!
  After donating these 50,000 taels, maybe they really thought how wealthy the Tai Fu Mansion was.

Some thoughtful people would still wonder if it was due to corruption and bribery. Wouldn’t this put more information into other people’s hands? ! !

After waiting for a while, the housekeeper struggled to collect the fifty thousand taels, and a team of servants came in carrying boxes behind him.

The housekeeper approached Zhang Chongshan and whispered something, then gave him the key.

Zhang Chongshan felt mixed and nodded helplessly, "Shilang Xiao, General Xu, this is a donation of 50,000 taels from my Zhang family. Please accept it."

"Mr. Zhang said this to offend us. We can still trust your conduct, but for the sake of fairness, there happens to be one of my subordinates who knows some accounting books and silver coins. Why don't we let him take a look? "Although Xu Huaili's tone was to discuss, he did not wait for Taifu Zhang's consent.

He turned sideways and called someone over, "Go and have a look!"

"You've gone too far!" Zhang Shengmin's eyes were split and he was angry!

Zhang Chongshan was uncharacteristically calm, but at this moment, his whole figure looked much older. His voice was low and weak, and he sighed, "Let's see."

The heavy box opened with a buzzing sound, and there was a lot of silver and some jewelry inside.

The jewelry...was part of his wife's dowry.

"Most of this silver was a gift from the late emperor and your majesty. Now it has been returned to Zhao. I hope your majesty can save the people of Zhuzhou from the fire. I... my wish is fulfilled..." Zhang Chongshan sighed in despair and waved his sleeves. Staggering inside.

Return the jade to Zhao intact, what a perfect jade to return to Zhao!
  Xiao Huanshan now understood that he knew the truth of the matter, and sighed in his heart, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you are really hard-hearted and merciless!
  "Master Xiao, the inventory has been corrected!" Xu Huali said with cupped hands.

"In that case, let's go." Xiao Huanshan looked at the dusk on the horizon. The slanting light would eventually slowly fall, and he didn't know whether the bright moon would appear.

Zhang Shengmin didn't know what happened, why his father suddenly changed his mind, and he lost all energy and energy.

He ran to his father's study to ask for an audience, but the housekeeper stopped him and told him that he would not see anyone.

Zhang Shengmin was terrified, his mind was in chaos, and he felt that the sky had changed.

At this time, my daughter Zhang Hanyue came over in a hurry and asked, "Father, is General Xu here?"

"Yes." Zhang Shengmin said subconsciously, his expression numb.

Zhang Hanyue was overjoyed, "Then where is he? Is he here to propose marriage??"

　I don’t want to go crazy, I want to go crazy.
