General doctor's wife

Chapter 381
"Brother Zhao means..." Cheng Engong looked hesitant.

Zhao Shangshu smiled slightly, and that unfathomable smile fell on his round black and fat face, making Cheng Engong feel a chill in his heart.

"Isn't there coal in the west?"

Cheng Engong's face changed drastically in an instant, he stood up abruptly and walked back and forth in the room several times in a hurry, as if he wanted to suppress the shock in his heart: "You let me steal the coal mine? No, absolutely not!"

The old god Zhao Shangshu was sitting on the chair on the ground, looking at Cheng Engong who was back and forth with a tense expression, and suddenly laughed: "Haha, Cheng Engong, you said this yourself, what can my old Zhao do?" Didn't say anything."

Lu Chengan, who was sitting on the beam, was shocked.

It was the first time I saw Cheng Engong, an old fox, deflated.

Cheng Engong was also stunned standing where he was, this was the first time someone let himself be deflated.

"Zhao Shangshu, you, me, you can't play me like this." Cheng Engong seemed not to know what to say, so he forced out such a sentence.

Zhao Shangshu spread his hands and expressed helplessness: "Cheng Engong, you said this yourself, I didn't say that you should take it for yourself."

"You!" Cheng Engong was angry, his face flushed red.

But Zhao Shangshu got up from the chair, and bowed his hands to Cheng Engong: "I will take my leave first."

After he left, Cheng Engong's face returned to normal, looking in the direction of the door, his face was uncertain.

After a while, until it was confirmed that Zhao Shangshu had left, Lu Chengan jumped off the beam.

"This man is deeply scheming. Until now, he should still be testing me."

After a long while, Cheng Engong came up with such a sentence.

Lu Chengan nodded: "These great ministers have not suffered any setbacks until now, and there is only Zhao Tianyu himself."

"But he has such a hobby of playing antiques, and his own salary alone can't support his hobby."

Lu Chengan stroked the stubble on his chin, and while talking, he calculated in his heart how much his annual salary would be.

"His one-year salary converted into silver is about 800 taels, plus a year's reward, it is about 200 taels. If he uses all the income from the farm shop in his family to buy antiques, it is still possible. Works fine, but..."

After doing some calculations, Cheng Engong found that it was impossible for the minister of the Ministry of Industry to transfer the money.

Unless the whole house doesn't eat or drink, and give him all the money.

After all, such a small beauty, Hu, needs more than 1000 taels of silver, which is enough for his annual salary.

"Cheng'engong, I have to trouble you for the following matters."

Lu Chengan bowed to Cheng Engong, Cheng Engong quickly dodged to avoid it.

"What you are doing is for the great Zhou Dynasty. Besides, things like coal mines, iron mines and salt mines are originally owned by the imperial court, and I just return them to their owners."

Hearing this, Lu Chengan thought of the iron mine far in the southwest, and secretly smiled wryly: I must hide it well.

But Liu Fu is not stupid, since Lu Chengan became the regent, he has become more and more low-key.

The two discussed in the room for a while, and Cheng Engong left the palace through the front door.

Lu Chengan turned over from the back window, sat in an unremarkable side hall, and then left the palace through another door.

"Zhao Shangshu, can your method work?" In the study of Zhao Shangshu's mansion, a somewhat thin man pinched his beard next to his upper lip and asked in a shrill voice.

"Why, Mr. Xu doesn't trust me?" Zhao Shangshu squinted at Mr. Xu, and slowly took a sip of tea.

Mr. Xu hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't mean that, I just think it's a bit suspicious that this Cheng Engong sent secret guards to investigate this matter thoroughly, but now he's crying to your lord that you have no money. "

Zhao Shangshu leaned on the large chair and patted the armrest of the chair: "I was afraid that there might be fraud, so I went to test it out."

"If they want to use tricks, as soon as I say this, they will be tied up and unable to use them. In the end, they can only send troops to take back the coal mine. If Cheng Engong's words are true, then in the past few days, he will will come to me."

Mr. Xu's eyes lit up: "No wonder the adults ordered to step up the sale to Yige Shameng in the past few days. It turned out to be for this reason."

Randomly, his expression became bitter again: "But my lord, you are exposed in this way."

Zhao Shangshu's face darkened, and a ruthless light flashed in his eyes: "When you killed Cheng Engong's hidden guard, I was already exposed!"

********
"Knock, knock, knock." After a few rhythmic sounds, Cheng Engong opened the window casually, picked up a branch on the window lattice, turned and went back to the house.

He sat down for a while, then got up and closed the window.

He tore open the branch, and saw a small note in the hollow branch.

"There's been a huge increase in shipments to Eagle."

A few simple words made Cheng Engong's brows twitch.

This group of people is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

In order to force himself, this trick was also used.

Cheng Engong suppressed the anger in his heart and sat in the study for a long time.

********
"Ran Ran, in a few days, I may have to leave for a while."

In the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion, Lu Chengan hugged Qin Ranran and put his chin on her shoulder.

Qin Ranran was surprised when she heard the words: "Where are you going?"

"Go to Anxi, the matter over Anxi needs to be resolved earlier, I will be with Cheng Engong."

Lu Chengan rubbed her face, and stroked the cat's head that stretched out to join in the fun.

"Is it appropriate for you to leave Shangjing with Cheng Engong?"

Qin Ranran hesitated for a moment before asking.

Lu Chengan looked at her expression from the side, and felt that no matter how he looked at it, the words "reluctant, don't go" were written all over it.

He sighed softly: "I don't want to part with you either, but this matter must be dealt with. It will be resolved as soon as possible, and a big hidden danger will be eliminated sooner."

Qin Ranran said "Oh" dully, and didn't look up again.

Lu Chengan had no choice but to comfort her and said: "It's just possible to go, or not to go, I just want to say hello to you first, so you should be prepared."

After hearing these words, Qin Ranran pulled himself together, pushed him aside, and went to play with her sons.

Lu Chengan leaned on the pillow, seeing the cheerful smiling faces of the mother and son in front of him, a stern look flashed in his heart.

When can we finish executing those disturbing people and stop disturbing our family reunion.

Five days later.

Cheng Engong knocked on the door of Zhao Shangshu's mansion with a bad expression.

"Cheng Engong, welcome from far away, welcome from far away." Zhao Shangshu hurried up to welcome Cheng Engong to his study.

"I came here just to ask Zhao Shangshu, where did you get the money for playing antiques?"
