The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 223

"Your Majesty is confused, so he will use Shangguan's father and daughter. I think it's better to get rid of them earlier. The Shangguan's family are all treacherous and slippery villains." A certain princess uttered nonsense.

Empress Dowager nodded empathetically, Shangguan Qing didn't show any face, which made her very annoyed, she couldn't control those civil servants and military generals in the outer court, and she couldn't control a little girl.

Xiyue said: "The Empress Dowager asked her to give 100 million to the clan mansion, but do you know what this 100 million is?"

"Of course it's the imperial court's money." Someone chimed in.

Xiyue was not angry and said flatly: "It's military expenses."

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the house fell silent, Xiyue paused for a while and continued: "The money allocated by His Majesty to Luantai Division is used to expand the iron factory, use new iron methods to refine refined steel, and equip 50 imperial troops. Even if the Empress Dowager gave Shangguan Qing a hundred guts, she would not dare to take any of it."

The queen mother said angrily: "It's a loan."

The old lady was already unreasonable, Xiyue finally realized Shangguan Qing's feeling that it was really difficult to please everyone, so she had no choice but to agree, "It's a loan." Then she stopped talking.

The wives started chattering again, pointing at Shangguan Qing's lack of flexibility.

Shangguan Qing came out from the palace and met the fourth prince Chu Qiankang who was also out of the palace. Shangguan Qing was very angry and asked Chu Qiankang directly if he had bought the shares of the Northwest Coal Yard. This is the excuse for money, Chu Qiankang only said that it was almost done.

Shangguanqing did not continue to embarrass Chu Qiankang, and promised that Luantai would not buy at a lower price, and asked Chu Qiankang to urge Northwest to ship quickly.

Chu Qiankang nodded in agreement, and after watching Shangguan Qing get into the sedan chair and leave, he immediately asked the servant on duty to inquire about the situation, only to realize that Shangguan Qing was once embarrassed by the Queen Mother, and he was unlucky to be bumped into.

Shouting unluckily, Chu Qiankang went directly to the Tenth Prince Chu Qianren after leaving the palace.

According to the agreement between Luantai Division and the Northwest Coal Yard, the raw coal in the Northwest should have been shipped, but there has been no news so far. Chu Qiankang is very puzzled by this. If Chu Qianren's raw coal cannot be in place, he has to return it to Shangguan Qing 200 million rock salt rolls, Chu Qiankang, who already understood what wealth is, was really reluctant to return such a large amount of money to Shangguan Qing.

Chu Qiankang searched several places before finding Chu Qianren in a theater in Xicheng.

At this time, Chu Qianren was watching a martial arts show "Zheng Bei Man", and Wu Sheng performed a series of somersaults on the stage, winning a lot of applause.

Someone had already reported it, and the two brothers sat down on both sides of the square table in the private room after being polite.

The gongs and drums below sounded, and Wu Sheng sang, recited, and played. Chu Qianren took a sip of tea soup and asked, "Why is fourth brother so eager to find me?"

"Tenth brother is so free."

"Little brother is no better than fourth brother. I have nothing to look forward to. Drinking tea and listening to the opera is not bad." Chu Qianren said with complaints.

"Tenth brother, don't underestimate yourself. Father hasn't made a decision yet. Who can say for sure? Even if father has made a decision, he can change it." Chu Qiankang asked the other party to do something, so he naturally said something that the other party wanted to hear.

Chu Qianren narrowed his eyes, giggled and said, "Ming people don't speak secretly, fourth brother just speak up when he has something to do, wait, don't say it, let me guess."

Chu Qianren closed his eyes, like a fortune teller on the street,
After a long time, he said: "The fourth brother is for the raw coal in the northwest, and wants to know where the raw coal has been transported."

"Exactly." Chu Qiankang admitted frankly.

Chu Qianren hummed a ditty, applauded loudly when he saw the highlights on the stage below, and rewarded the troupe with a thick handful of salt rolls. Chu Qiankang could see clearly that these salt rolls were very small salt rolls.

Some time ago, in order to appease the courtiers, the emperor ordered the craftsman to print a batch of salt rolls of [-] cents, [-] cents, [-] cents, [-] cents, [-] cents, and [-] share, and distributed them to the courtiers as salaries, and opened the salt warehouse freely. exchange.

Originally, one rock salt was divided into [-] cents, and each cent could be exchanged for one tael of salt. Because the salt warehouse was open for exchange, the circulation was small, and the printing was exquisite, making small salt rolls a hard currency in the capital area.

"My little one kneels down to thank the lord for the reward." The theater troupe stopped and kowtowed together in thanks.

After waiting for the meeting, Chu Qiankang felt displeased and uneasy seeing Chu Qianren concentrating on the stage.

When the exciting play below is over, the theater troupe withdrew, and everyone in the theater also withdrew, leaving only the brothers in the box.

Chu Qiankang felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and asked, "Is there something wrong in the northwest?"

"Zhenbei King Ma Yuanzheng is dead." Chu Qianren told a shocking inside story, and then told an even more shocking inside story, "Ma Wang led people to rob and kill the third brother and Shangguan Qing in Nanling, but was killed instead. The news of his death has already passed." It’s confirmed that there will be no mourning at the Zhenbei Prince’s Mansion, all the commercial routes leading to the northwest have been cut off, and it will take five days for the news to reach the capital after passing through the post station, and Yuhua left the capital last night to go north.”

Yuhua is Ma Yuhua, Princess Anyuan.

Chu Qianren wrote the word "burning stone" on the table with his finger dipped in the tea.

"Burning the stone to break away the hatred. Burning the stubborn stone, cutting off the old love, leaving the hatred in vain." Chu Qianren recited a song of burning stone sword meaning.What he got was Shangguan Qing's Burning Stone Sword, and a portion of Shangguan Qing's luck improvement. At this time, he felt Lihentian in his heart, and broke through the bottleneck stuck at the peak of the first rank, stepping into the ranks of the super strong.

Chu Qiankang suddenly had an ominous premonition, and said anxiously: "Tenth brother, don't act recklessly, you are not her opponent, and father will not allow you to hurt her."

"She is a witch. Why did she break the old rules? What did she say that the changed world is good? Is it wrong for me to like pastoral songs? Without Yuhua by my side, the seat of the Great Chu Kingdom has continued for 500 years. What have you got to do with me?"

Chu Qianren laughed wildly.

Chu Qiankang stood up and said, "Tenth brother, don't be blinded by a leaf, sober up."

"I'm sober, unprecedentedly sober." Chu Qianren said, "The raw coal from the Northwest won't be shipped to the capital, so the fourth brother should figure out a way earlier. The raw coal with millions of stones is not a tiger talisman, and it can be shipped in a short time." To the capital."

"Don't forget, you are the prince of Chu, even if the Ma family succeeds in the end, there will be no place for you."

"I can learn from the second brother, and live freely in the world." After Chu Qianren finished speaking, he flew out of the private room and flew to Shangguan Qing's house.

"No tenth brother." Chu Qiankang chased after him.

They were only one street away when they were stopped by the sixth prince, Chu Qianyun. The three of them fell into a courtyard together. The dog guarding the courtyard barked wildly. Chu Qianren raised a small stone and crushed the dog's head.

The owner of this family died tragically on the spot when he stuck his head out. The smell of blood permeated the entire courtyard, and the blood and corpse froze in the cold wind.

Chu Qiankang wanted to go to the side, but found that he was surrounded by Chu Qianyun and Chu Qianren, and his whole body was locked. He was shocked at first, and then calmed down quickly. He looked at Chu Qianren and asked, "Is it worth it?" ?”

Chu Qianren didn't answer, but took out a heavy hammer from the Space Tiger Talisman, and stared at Chu Qiankang covetously.
