Kowloon wins

Chapter 88
"Master Shi, you have worked so hard, and I will offer you a toast. I wish you a speedy career."

"Master Shi, if you hadn't supported the catastrophe in Shandong, what would have happened? You have worked so hard, and the servant has nothing to spare. Just have a glass of water and wine, and express your heart. You are welcome."

"Master Shi, you are the backbone of the slaves. Whatever you point, the slaves will rush at you. If you don't say anything, the slaves will toast you!"

……

At the same time when Hong Qing was going to visit Kong Tongru, a feast was going on in the private room on the top floor of Yingxian Building, the most prestigious restaurant in Jining City. Watching Master Shi boasting and clapping fiercely, he praised Master Shi so happily that he was in a cloud of mist.

"grown ups……"

Everyone was enjoying their drinks when they saw a strong man in plain clothes rushing in from outside the box, walked quickly to Du Moliang's side, called softly, and then leaned into his ear, whispering the report.

"Ok?"

Master Shi was drinking happily, and was quite displeased by this scene, so he put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table, and snorted impatiently.

"Ah, tenth master, the thing is like this, the gang of servants below came to report, saying that Hong Qing's kid went to Kong Tongru's official office, and they didn't know what was going on."

Seeing that the tenth master was unhappy, Du Moliang didn't dare to be careless, and quickly waved his hand to push away the subordinate who came to report, then bowed and accompanied him to report carefully.

"Oh? Did that guy go alone?"

Lord Shi suffered a lot from Hong Qing's subordinates several times, and he was very vigilant towards Hong Qing. Hearing what Du Moliang said, he couldn't care less about feigning anger. He raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly asked a question.

"Returning to Master Shi, it is said that he went with a shopkeeper of the 'Kirin Company' in the local area. Maybe he was looking for Confucius to ask for a bargain."

When Master Shi asked, Du Moliang didn't dare to hide anything, so he hurriedly explained it.

"Hey, that's possible. That bastard has already been tricked by his grandma."

Master Shi is very clear about how popular Hongqing's business name is. Not to mention anything else, just over half a year has passed since Master Shi himself had contracted Chuanzhong, and he has already made a net profit of more than ten thousand taels of silver, of course. He did not spend a lot of money to get through various joints. Master Shi is no stranger to business matters. Hearing Du Moliang's explanation at this time, he didn't care much about it.

"That's right, it's just that Kong Zhizhou is the most prudish person. If that guy goes, he may encounter a nose dust. Ha, then the fun will be great."

Among the officials in Shandong, Kong Tongru was a maverick, he always regarded himself as noble, and the few people present didn't like him very much. Seeing Master Shi despise Hongqing so much, a Daoist who was quick to see the opportunity appeared from the side Come and have fun.

"Hahaha..., don't care about the bastard, come on, keep drinking, I'm happy today, I won't return if I don't get drunk!"

Shi Ye didn't give Hong Qing the slightest bit of affection, and he could hear Hong Qing hit a wall, so he won the favor of Shi Ye. This smile was about to rise, and he felt extraordinarily happy, which immediately attracted Gong, Du and the others. I couldn't stop laughing with me, just like that, an extremely important piece of news was covered up amidst everyone's violent laughter...

On April 29th, it was sunny. Perhaps it was because of the hard work of the two imperial envoys. It rained in the middle of the night, but it stopped in the early morning. , The colorful flags fluttered, and the officials and people from various prefectures who came to see him off had lined up neatly on the pier early under the leadership of Governor A Jintai, waiting for the appearance of the two imperial envoys.

"My next official Shandong governor A Jintai kowtows to the imperial envoy!"

When the time of day was right, when the drum sounded, three or twelve imperial envoys came out of the post station not far from the pier side by side. He didn't dare to neglect to go, and hurriedly led all the officials from Shandong to meet him, and there were too many salutes and worships.

"Let's all be flat."

The disaster relief errand was over, and the major event was more than half done. The third master was obviously in a good mood, and his voice was obviously more warm than usual.

"Thank you, Lord!"

But after seeing off the two imperial envoys, all the officials could take a breather, Xie En's voice was full of ease and joy, the voice was loud and even, and the etiquette was extraordinarily thoughtful.

"My lord, how is the case of the burning of the granary going?"

The officials were obviously overjoyed, and before they could stand still, they saw a flash of light in the eyes of the third master, staring at A Jintai with incomparable eyes, and asked indifferently: .

"This……"

Hearing that the third master asked about this matter out of the blue, A Jintai couldn't help but froze on the spot - at the beginning, the third master had told him to argue with Du Moliang, but after the confession, the third master never asked about it once, and also There were no other instructions, and A Jintai didn't know how to handle the trouble. After a few rounds of verbal lawsuits with Du Moliang, he didn't ask any more questions. Now that he was asked by the third master, For a while, I really didn't know how to respond.

"Master Du, since you are in charge of this matter, it is up to you to answer it."

The third master didn't make things difficult for Ah Jintai any more, but cast his eyes on Du Moliang who was a little flustered, and asked in a calm voice.

"Third brother, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. According to the imperial court's laws and regulations, we are only concerned with disaster relief, and these miscellaneous tasks should be handled by the local government. If not, the Huang Ama's department may not be able to handle it, what do you think. "

The old ten looked rough, but he was not stupid. Seeing that the situation was wrong, he hurriedly stood up from the side, and unceremoniously picked up Mr. Kangxi's big signboard, intending to use it to convince the third master.

"Brothers have their own discretion in this matter, don't worry about ten brothers, just watch from the sidelines."

The third master has a secret plan and is sure to make a contribution in one fell swoop. He is very confident, how can he be frightened by the old ten, but he is not in a hurry to show his hole card, but waved his hand calmly, and took Acting like an imperial envoy, he forcibly blocked the old ten's mouth.

"Humph!"

Old Ten still wanted to say more, but when he saw that the third master had turned his head away, making it clear that he would no longer pay attention to his gesture of speaking, the anger in his heart surged wildly, his face twitched wildly, as if he was going to say more Even at the end of the day, he still didn't have the guts to say it. It wasn't because he was really afraid of the third master, but because he was worried that the third master had a secret purpose - in order to spy on the third master's truth, the old ten kept his subordinates waiting. He tried many ways, but the third master was watertight. Although the tenth master was suspicious, he still couldn't prove it. Seeing the third master's arrogance now, the old ten really felt a little guilty, so he just snorted coldly, and then Shut up.

"Returning to the prince, this matter is still under investigation and it is kept confidential. Please forgive me for the inconvenience of commenting."

Du Moliang originally hoped that Lord Shi could cover him up, but seeing that Master Shi's complexion was already as dark as the bottom of a pot, but he still didn't show up again in the end, his already empty heart inevitably became a little more empty , but he didn't want to weaken his own momentum, so he muttered and perfunctory.

"Inconvenient? What's the inconvenience? Hey, I really want to ask you clearly today. Is Mr. Du going to resist the order, huh?"

The days of the third master for more than a month are really tormented. The disaster relief is extremely complicated. Not to mention the hard work, but also the progress of the Ru Fu case. The whole person is so tired that he has lost a lot of weight. Now all the arrangements are in vain. It's ready, and it's time for the third master to raise his eyebrows, and there is no room for Du Moliang to make false excuses, so he said unceremoniously.

"This..., if you want to ask questions, the prince can do it, you have to ask the order to come again, if not, please forgive me for being difficult to follow the order."

Seeing that the third master is so tough, Du Moliang really couldn't bear it any longer. The sweat on his forehead couldn't stop dripping down, but there was still a little luck in his heart. The words went back.

"Okay, very good, if you want a decree, this king will show you the decree."

Seeing that Du Moliang dared to show his strength at this time, the third master's pupils flashed coldly, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, then shook his hand, and took out a piece of yellow silk from his wide sleeve The masked imperial decree was raised high above the head. As soon as this move was made, all the people on the dock, whether they were officials or civilians, all knelt down on the ground.

"Follow the sky, the emperor's edict said..."

Facing the crowd kneeling all over the floor, the third master was not in a hurry to read the imperial edict, but looked at the panic-stricken tenth master, Gong and Du in relief, and then spread out the imperial edict calmly , with enough energy, he announced it sternly.

"Lord Du, if you want your will, this king will announce it to you. Now, does this king have the right to ask questions, huh?"

After announcing the decree, the third master stood proudly, even though everyone thanked him, the third master didn't shout, just let everyone kneel on the ground, bent slightly, and looked up and down Du with great interest. After a long period of silence, he asked in a dark tone.

"My lord, lord, my lord forgives my sins, I don't know why, my lord, I don't know why, please ask my lord Haihan."

Facing the dominance of the third master, Du Moliang's mentality was already on the verge of collapse. It was just a matter of his family and his life. It is very tight-lipped.

"Those who don't know are not guilty, and I don't want to blame you. After all, according to your investigation, where did the more than [-] stone grains in the burned granary go, eh?"

Reservoir dogs only need to be beaten, not to be pitiful!The third master knew this truth very well, and he didn't bother to go around in circles with Du Moliang, so he directly asked the core of it.

"Ah, this..."

Du Moliang obviously didn't expect the third master to ask such a direct question. Under the shock of his heart, he didn't know what to say for a while...
