The king behind the empress

Chapter 163 The Enraged Qian Min
Although they are all members of the Jiangnan family, there is not only one family in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the various families are harmonious on the surface, there is a turbulent undercurrent in private.

It was precisely because of this that Qian Min and Zhao Baiyang did not react too aggressively after Hu Xiaosheng was killed.

On the contrary, when Hu Xiaosheng was killed, Qian Min and Zhao Baiyang couldn't help but feel a little bit happy in their hearts when the rabbit died and the fox was sad.

After all, if Hu Xiaosheng died, one less person would be able to share the money, which was a good thing for both Qian Min and Zhao Baiyang.

What Zhao Baiyang didn't expect was that, just a few days after Hu Xiaosheng's death, Mo Zizai took the bottom line and copied all the businessmen who were attached to them.

The loss of money made Zhao Baiyang, who thought he could have more income, not increase but decrease in future income. This is the reason why he was so angry.

"Just forced me to pay a sum of money, and now it cuts off my source of income. It's not easy to be a son of man!!!"

Zhao Baiyang, who was inexplicably angry, went straight to Qian Min's mansion without staying for a moment.

……

In Qian Min's mansion, the housekeeper hurriedly greeted Zhao Baiyang when he heard the news of Zhao Baiyang's visit.

"Where is Mr. Qian Ge?"

Because he was angry in his heart, Zhao Baiyang didn't speak politely, and asked where Qian Min was.

"Back to Mr. Minister, my master is in the cabinet to discuss matters, and he hasn't come back yet."

Seeing Zhao Baiyang's angry appearance, the butler did not dare to neglect, and asked cautiously: "Master Zhao, if you are not in a hurry, you might as well wait in the guest room for a while, and when the master comes back, the old slave will definitely notify him as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, if you don't rush your head, I will move!"

Zhao Baiyang snorted coldly, but there was no other way, he couldn't go to the palace to call Qian Min back because of this matter.

"What is Master Zhao talking about?" The housekeeper smiled and led the way, "You are a third-rank official, who dares to touch your head."

Zhao Baiyang cast a sidelong glance at Qian Min's housekeeper, "Then according to what you say, Lao Hu is not a third-rank official?"

"..."

Hearing Zhao Baiyang mention Hu Xiaosheng, the housekeeper froze immediately, he laughed dryly twice, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, the guest room was not far away, just at the door, the housekeeper quickly led Zhao Baiyang into the room and sat down, never mentioning the matter of the third-rank official.

"My lord, sit down first, and the old slave will make a pot of tea for you first."

Seeing the butler making tea in distress, Zhao Baiyang didn't continue to chase and beat him. He just vented his frustration, and didn't really want to offend Qian Min, the butler.

After the tea had cooled a bit, Zhao Baiyang picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, but as soon as he tasted it, he felt something wrong and frowned.

"This tea is wrong."

Holding the teacup, he said dissatisfiedly: "Why, I don't even deserve a good cup of tea when I come here? Just use this inferior product to fool me?"

"Where is the Wuyi tea that I drank last time? Are you reluctant to take it out?"

"Forgive me, my lord. It's not that the old slave doesn't take it, but that Wuyi tea is gone." The housekeeper smiled wryly, and then told Zhao Baiyang about the extortion when Mo Zizai came last time.

"Audacity, audacity!"

Hearing that it was Mo Zizai again, Zhao Baiyang suddenly put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and angrily shouted: "Just because he didn't serve him good tea, he asked for 50 taels of silver, why didn't he grab it!"

The butler silently glanced at Zhao Baiyang, he is just robbing, otherwise what do you think?
Zhao Baiyang was just dizzy with anger, and after saying this, he immediately realized that Mo Zizai was indeed robbing, and he robbed more than once or twice.

Isn't he robbing all the money in the treasury now?
Thinking of his share of the money in the national treasury, Zhao Baiyang felt even more bitter, "We can't let him go on like this, otherwise we will have no way to survive!"

The butler stayed in the living room with the disgruntled Zhao Baiyang, and it felt as if the days were like years. When he finally heard the servant report that Qian Min had returned, he felt relieved and hurried out to greet him.

"Master, master, something serious happened..."

The butler's pace was a little hurried, and he yelled a few words before he arrived.

"What are you panicking about!"

Qian Min scolded in dissatisfaction, "I'm still the butler of the old man's house, why are you so impatient?"

After speaking, I suddenly thought of something earlier, my heart suddenly jumped, and I quickly asked: "Isn't that Mo Zizi coming again?"

"No." The butler shook his head and said, "He didn't come."

"Oh, that's fine, that's fine."

Hearing that it wasn't Mo Zizai who came, Qian Min breathed a sigh of relief, put his lifted heart back into his stomach, and then continued to reprimand: "Since he didn't come, then what's the big deal, what a fuss, why? system."

"No, master, although he didn't come, he captured all the businessmen in the capital."

"Just grab it, you can still stop him from arresting people."

Qian Min replied indifferently, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong, "Wait a minute, you mean, they've all been arrested?"

"That's right, master." The housekeeper nodded hastily, "According to the information obtained by the old slave, those merchants may all be beheaded."

"All... all killed?"

Qian Min was shocked by the news, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he roared angrily, "The merchants are the foundation of the capital, and he has arrested them all. What is he trying to do? "

"Could it be that he really doesn't care about the country that his ancestors laid down?"

"Master, it's useless to talk about it now." The housekeeper said with a bitter face: "Zhao Shilang is waiting for you in the study right now. He probably wants to discuss countermeasures with you. Would you like to meet him first?"

"Zhao Baiyang is here?"

Hearing Zhao Baiyang's arrival, Qian Min calmed down a bit, "Go and tell him to tell him to wait for a while, the old man will see him after changing his clothes."

Zhao Baiyang is selfish and extremely greedy for money, so there must be no good things for him to come, so Qian Min decided to change his clothes first, and then go to see him when he calms down, so as not to be angry and make any bad decisions. trouble.

Qian Min changed into normal clothes and had another cup of tea to calm down before coming to the guest room to meet Zhao Baiyang.

"I've seen Mr. Ge."

Although he didn't put Qian Min very much in his heart, Zhao Baiyang did a good job on the surface. When he saw Qian Min coming in, he immediately stood up and bowed.

"You and I went out of the south of the Yangtze River together, it's just you and me at this moment, why should Brother Bo Yang be so disrespectful?"

Seeing Zhao Baiyang salute, Qian Min quickly took two steps forward, held Zhao Baiyang's saluting hand, and told him to sit down and talk.

"I don't know, brother Boyang, why did you come to find me this time?"

Looking at Qian Min who was pretending to be confused, Zhao Baiyang snorted coldly in his heart, but he didn't expose it, but showed an anxious look on his face,

"Master Ge, something serious has happened. Mo Zizai is going to kill all the giant merchants in the capital."
