The prince is sick: it is too enchanting to marry the princess

Chapter 183 About the Old Fox

Nangong Qi really felt that it was not easy for him to be the fourth elder brother. Nangong Yan threw the matter of fundraising to him halfway through, saying that he was going to Dali Temple to accompany his wife.

Nangong Qi has only one thing to say about this: Emphasize color and despise brother.

Nangong Qi still hasn't told Bai Ranqing about Ji Qingxue being imprisoned in Dali Temple. If she finds out, she might as well enter Dali Temple and make a mess.

So he had no choice but to hide it from her first, he believed that his fifth younger brother would definitely handle this matter well.

This day Nangong Qi took the list given by his unconscionable fourth brother, and visited them one by one in the order listed above.

When handing over the list to him, Nan Gongyan once said that everyone on it is an important official of the imperial court, and the fundraising can only achieve the desired effect only after these high-ranking people set an example.

And which one of these extremely human officials is not a thousand-year-old fox? Fortunately, Nan Gongyan has figured out his own countermeasures for each of them. He has to show his original shape even if he is becoming a fox.

It's been a whole morning, and Nangong Qi is exhausted from running around, and there is only the last person left, and it is Master Shangshu——Han Mo.

"Oh, I don't know that the king of Qi came to the humble house, and the next official was far away, and I was far away to welcome him."

"It doesn't matter. This is the king's sudden visit this time, Lord Shangshu, don't take offense."

With sharp eyes, Han Mo saw that Nangong Qi was accompanied by a very good-looking girl. No wonder King Qi had already passed the age of Li Concubine, but there was no movement for a long time. It turned out that there was such a beautiful girl hiding beside her.

"I don't know if this girl is..." Han Mo still held a glimmer of hope in his heart. Although King Qi did nothing in terms of political achievements, he traveled abroad in his early years, and now he has accumulated a lot of money, saying that he is already incomparably rich. It's not an exaggeration at all.

There are two very important things in this life, one is power and the other is wealth. If Nangong Qi has this wish, Han Mo still wants to marry his daughter to him.

It's a pity that his wishful thinking was wrong.

Nangong Qi directly admitted Bai Ranqing's identity: "She is my king's concubine."

This sentence killed all the thoughts in Han Mo's heart, he couldn't help but sigh, what a pity.

But I don't seem to have heard much about Qi Wang Lifei?Han Mo whispered in his heart.

Han Mo invited Nangong Qi and the others into the room. Nangong Qi looked around at the surrounding decorations. His layout might not even be considered shabby.

"Master Shangshu, I didn't expect you to be so frugal. It's really my blessing."

Han Mo waved his hand: "The lord is too famous. An official needs to be clean and honest, and seek the well-being of the people. The next official is just doing what he should do."

Nangong Qi sneered in his heart, what should he do?Don't be afraid to flash your tongue when you say this.

This time, only 100 taels were donated. Although his family is simple, what he wears is not suitable for this family.

"This time, the king originally wanted to discuss the donation with Master Shangshu." Nangong Qi didn't bother to go around with him anymore, and went straight to the point.

Han Mo sighed, with a serious expression on his face: "This time the flood is very serious and our country's treasury is empty. I have donated 100 taels as much as I can. This is the property that I have saved for many years."

Han Mo's pretentious appearance made Nangong Qi and Bai Ranqing a little nauseous, 100 taels is the life and wealth of the whole family?No one will believe this matter.

"Really? I have heard some rumors about Mr. Shangshu recently. It is said that Mr. Shangshu bought a house for your concubine outside in Kyoto, and it seems to be in the most prosperous area of ​​Kyoto. It would cost a lot of money." money."

Han Mo's originally smiling face suddenly became a little uncomfortable.He thought he had kept this matter secret, how did this Nangong Qi know about it?
Han Mo has been in the officialdom for many years, and it is not so easy to be tricked out. He quickly recovered his expression, and said calmly: "This is simply slander, and I don't know what kind of idiots are slandering the lower officials."

Even at this time, I still refuse to admit it!Nangong Qi had no choice but to wink at Bai Ranqing, and Bai Ranqing got up and took out a small note and slapped it on the table.

Han Mo's eyes fell on the paper, and his expression changed drastically. The expression on his face when he grabbed the paper had completely revealed his thoughts.

"Even so, Master Shang Shu still thinks it's still slander?" Nangong Qi looked at him with a half-smile.

Han Mo's face was pale, and it wasn't until then that he began to panic.

The paper clearly wrote the names of his concubine and the child that the woman gave birth to, their daily schedule, when they bought something, and what they said, all of which were recorded in great detail.

"My lord... I don't know what you mean?" Han Mo's hands were trembling. He originally thought that Nangong Qi was just bluffing, but he didn't expect that he would actually take advantage of him.

Nangong Qi smiled like a spring breeze: "I don't mean anything, I just heard that Lord Shangshu is very afraid of internal affairs. Since you have done some things, you have to do it in a tight way. If you are not careful, your wife will find out someday." , that would be bad."

Bai Ranqing snickered in her heart, if Han Mo was an old fox, then Nangong Qi might be his nemesis.

It's all said for this sake, if Han Mo doesn't understand the officialdom these years, he will be in vain.

"How does the prince want to be dismissed?" Han Mo stopped hiding from him, since he put these things in front of him, there must be his purpose.

"Fresh, this king just likes to work with smart people."

Nangong Qi took out a list and handed it to him: "This is the list of officials listed by the king. This time, Lord Shangshu should set an example for these ministers to raise donations for the flood in the northwest."

"Yes, yes, what the prince said is very true. It is only natural to contribute to the country, so I will donate another 300 taels."

Han Mo felt as if a piece had been dug out, and his heart ached, it was the money he had accumulated for many years.

Nangong Qi's expression seemed to be a smile, but he didn't say a word. Han Mo understood his silence, and he tentatively said, "How about 500 taels?"

"Gold." Nangong Qi said two words lightly.

Han Mo was like a mouthful of old blood choked in his throat, this Nangong Qi was really a lion, if he wanted 500 taels of gold, where would he find it.

"My lord, are you kidding me? How can the officials get so much money?"

Nangong Qi said confidently: "Qingqing, you can tell Mr. Shang Shu the other news we found."

"Yes, my lord." A cunning flashed in Bai Ranqing's eyes, she cleared her throat deliberately, then stood up and said loudly: "Master Shangshu has been an official for more than [-] years, and he has purchased more than a thousand hectares of land. Counting in the capital, there are six places, and there are several concubines outside..."

Okay, okay, can't he surrender?

The reason why Han Mo was able to sit in the position of Shangshu still depends on the influence of his wife's natal family, so he has been with his wife for so many years... ahem, respect each other like a guest.

His wife's reputation as a shrew had already spread far and wide, and he acted carefully in every way for fear of offending her.

It's nothing more than buying a house and good land. If she knows how many concubines she has raised outside, then she may have to do something.

Thinking of this, Han Mo gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and agreed to the matter cruelly, bad luck for him!

"But regarding the officials on the prince's list, there is no guarantee how much they will donate after they are dismissed."

He also looked at the people on the list who have been officials in the court for many years. To be honest, they have made a lot of money, but they are all iron roosters, and they don't want to pull out a penny!This time, asking them to use their savings to participate in the disaster relief, isn't that tantamount to killing them?
Nangong Qi replied calmly: "These people have their own methods, you just need to follow the method that I entrusted to you. It is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to Lord Shang Shu to raise donations. This king is waiting for the good news from Lord Shangshu at Qi Wangfu."

Nangong Qi and Bai Ranqing got up to say goodbye, Han Mo was smiling, but in fact, he almost scolded them to death in his heart, so hurry up, it's rare to come to his house and walk away with 500 taels of gold. If you stay for a while, your house will not be wiped out!

After that, Han Mo, the one between Bai Ranqing and Nangong Qi, is the God of Plague, so don't see him anymore!
The two walked out of Shangshu's mansion, Nangong Qi stretched his waist, half of the big issue at the moment was resolved, and it was fortunate that Fifth Brother had found out about them in advance, otherwise how could he give in so easily? .

Bai Ranqing looked at Nangong Qi thoughtfully, feeling her gaze, Nangong Qi pinched her nose: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

After a long time, Bai Ranqing uttered a sentence: "Old fox!"
