Chapter 337 Spit it out

Hua Yanran said: "If you can repair it, repair it. If you can't repair it, tear it down and rebuild it. You can deal with it."

Su Er bowed and stepped down.

Hua Da stood up, took a stack of account books from the bookshelf and handed it to Gu Huayu, saying, "Princess, these are the account books of various banks in the south of the Yangtze River. Please take a look at them."

Hua Yanran counted ten books in total.

Hua Yanran picked up a book and opened it.

Hua Da watched Hua Yanran flipping through the pages and said, "We currently don't have enough manpower to compete head-on with Baofeng Bank.

 We can only open these semicolons first, wait for two years, wait for the manpower to be trained, and then gradually expand based on the existing basis. "

Hua Yanran nodded, "Okay, no rush, let's take it step by step. When doing business, the shop is important, but the people who manage the shop are even more important."

Hua Da turned around and took the sandalwood box that had been put aside and handed it to Hua Yanran, "Princess, these are the house deeds and land deeds of the ten families. Please keep them."

Hua Yanran nodded, "Okay, thank you, Uncle Hua. We now have the information that the real power of Baofeng Bank is almost in Hua Ruijun's hands.

Hua Ruiming is only in charge of two Baofeng banks, Guiyunge and Jingcheng. However, there are only two Guiyung Pavilions left in the capital. "

Han Shi interjected and corrected: "Princess, there is only one restaurant left in Guiyun Pavilion in the west of the city. The one in the south of the city was also closed two days ago."

Su Er took over and said, "These days, there are many people coming to Hua Mansion to collect debts. Hua Ruiming hasn't gone out for a few days."

Liu Guang asked in surprise: "Debt collector? Has Commander Hua paid off the debt? Since Long Yingwei came to Ming Dynasty, all the people on the roster have their monthly reports issued by the Ministry of Household Affairs. In this way, he A commander who doesn’t have to worry about the salary of his subordinates can still owe foreign debts, he is also a talent!”

 Liu Guang's words were full of contempt.

Han Shi smiled and said: "Salary is only part of it, all the shops in Guiyun Pavilion are properties passed down by Long Yingwei.

He doesn't need to pay a penny in rent. Half of the waiters in the shop are Longyingwei's people, so he doesn't need to pay wages.

In this way, he can make a sure profit without losing money, but he can still make a loss in the business. He is indeed a rare talent! "

Su Er sneered: "Hua Ruiming can only drink flower wine, and all his thoughts are spent on women. He is suitable for opening a brothel. It is a bit embarrassing for him to do other things."

Hua Da looked dazzled and cleared his throat twice.

Su Er looked over and saw Hua staring at him. He immediately came over and realized that in front of Princess Yi, a young girl who had not yet married, she said that Huajiu brothel was a bit too much.

Su Er shut up and stopped talking.

 Liu Guang brought the topic back at the right time. "No wonder Hua Ruijun can open a teahouse and drive a horse. It turns out that Baofeng Bank has been in his hands for a long time."

Hua Da said: "First find out Hua Ruijun's identity and see whose son he is. Are he and Hua Ruiming brothers fighting, or are they trying to occupy a magpie's nest?"

Hua Yanran put her hand on the sandalwood box and said quietly: "Let's check first. No matter whose son he is, since he touched Long Shadow Guard's things, let him spit them out."

 Hua Da nodded, "Yes!"

 The next day, in the court hall, the emperor received a pile of impeachment papers.

There were those who impeached Hua Ruiming of Longyingwei for misappropriating the money from his subordinates, there were those who impeached Wang Houzhe, a direct bachelor of Wenbao Pavilion, for killing Su Xin, the eldest daughter of the Sunan Bank 20 years ago, and there were those who impeached the King of Qi for misappropriating money from river repairs. Yes, there are also those who impeached the King of Qin to avenge his kindness and killed the British Duke Yang's old lady.

After the emperor read the documents one by one, Long Yan was furious on the spot. He scolded all the civil and military officials in the court. The ministers in the court were trembling with fear and did not dare to express their anger.

Since the emperor came to the throne, he has been known for his kindness and generosity, and has never shown any anger in the court.

You must know that the emperor controls the life and death of everyone present and even every clan.

After the emperor rebuked him, he asked Kong Baizhao, the minister of Dali Temple, and Yang Songhua, the imperial censor, to come out to listen to the order.

"I will give you three days to find out the truth of the matter and then report it to the police. If there is any violation, you will take off your official uniform and go back to enjoy your life."

 After saying that, the emperor waved his sleeves and left.

Kong Bozhao and Yang Songhua knelt down to express their gratitude, and did not get up until the emperor had gone far away.

 King Qi originally planned to break up the court and ask for an audience with the emperor to ask him to marry Hua Yanran.

When the emperor was in a rage, and the repairs on the river were involved, the fire was imminent, so he had no choice but to put out the fire first.

As for the marriage, we can only postpone it.

Looking aside, Princess Qing'an entered the palace early with her waist badge and asked for a face-to-face interview.

After receiving the letter, Gao Gao went out to see Princess Qing'an and shook his head at her, "Princess, please come back. The emperor got angry in the court and is still angry at this moment."

When Princess Qing'an learned that the emperor was angry, she said that if she had some courage, she would not dare to take on the emperor's anger.

He bowed to Eunuch Gao and thanked him, then turned around and went to the Huaqing Palace where Concubine Li lived.

Eunuch Gao watched Princess Qing'an leave before turning back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

 What happened in the court quickly reached Hua Yanran.

Hua Da didn’t know what was going on with the British Duke, so he asked, “What happened to Mrs. Yang of the British Duke? How do you say that the Sixth Master… King Qin killed her.”

Su Er briefly told Hua Da about the affairs of the British Duke's Palace, and finally said: "Those false accusations were made by the Xian Prince's Palace and the British Duke's Palace to the outside world, with the purpose of ruining the reputation of King Qin.

They wanted to use rumors and rumors to make the King of Qin appear unfilial and unvirtuous. They wanted to establish nothing but virtue and virtue.

They didn't expect that the emperor would order Dali Temple and Yushitai to conduct a strict investigation. Now there was something exciting to watch. Princess, what should we do next? "

Hua Da looked at Hua Yanran and asked, "The princess plans to take action?"

Before Gu Huayu could speak, Wang Qin said first, "The princess has already said that she is the only one who can bully her people. Our princess protects her weaklings very well!"

"The princess's person? Who?" Hua Da asked.

Su Er glanced at Hua Yanran secretly and replied: "Who? King Qin! Hua Da, you can't survive. You have been away from Beijing for half a year and your brain is not enough."

"Oh!" Hua Dala said in a long voice, patted her head in realization, and said, "I'm too old to react. Princess, when will King Qin come to propose marriage?"

Su Er came over and asked, "Yes, when will King Qin come to propose marriage?"

Hua Yanran looked at the crowd and said, "What's wrong? Are you two in a hurry than me?"

“Can you not be in a hurry? The King of Qin is more handsome than Pan An, and he is more beautiful than Zijian. He is a dazzlingly beautiful man.

Even though he was still Mr. Lu Liu, he was still the man that all the ladies from aristocratic families were vying to marry when he was not favored by the old ladies of the British Duke.

What’s more, as the eldest son of the emperor, King Qin, it’s easy to imagine the woman he wants to marry. "Wang Qin took the words and said.

Su Er nodded in agreement and said, "That is, Princess Zeyuan, who came to our house yesterday, followed the prince with her eyes. Wherever the prince went, Princess Zeyuan's eyes followed.

When the princess and her hairpin ceremony were being held, everyone's eyes were on the princess, except Princess Zeyuan, whose eyes fell directly on King Qin.

 It made me wonder if she had a stiff neck during the night. She turned her head and looked at the prince the whole time. "

Liu Guang nodded repeatedly, "It is indeed as Su Er said. Yesterday I saw Princess Zeyuan turning her head to look at the prince. She looked at him for so long that my head turned to one side."

Qingyu said: "Princess Zeyuan's ambition for the prince is clearly written on her face. Yesterday, the young one was greeting guests at the door..."

Qingyu told everyone what happened at the door, talking and gesticulating with contempt on his face.

Hua Yanran was sitting behind the desk, making comments to everyone. Sliding the tip of the tongue from the left teeth to the right one by one, and then from the right to the left one by one, thinking about Princess Zeyuan in his mind.

No wonder, when he saw her in Shi Mansion, she was full of hostility towards her.

 It turns out that this hostility is because of Qingyan.

Su Zeyuan encouraged Wang Xuemei to come to Huayu Pavilion to cause trouble. Was it also because of King Qin?

If so, then Su Zeyuan would have known that King Qin treated her unusually, so he would be full of hostility towards her.

 So, Su Zeyuan has been eyeing her for a long time?

The more Hua Yanran thought about it, the more she thought about it. The assassin she met on the way back to Beijing was also Su Zeyuan's...

Wang Qin saw Hua Yanran in a daze and called out softly: "Princess, what are you thinking about?"

Hua Yanran came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, just thinking about something small."

Wang Qin didn't want to say more when seeing Hua Yanran, nor did she ask any more questions.

Su Er asked: "Princess, do we want to take action against the British government harming the prince?"

Su Er asked with excitement and expectation. He wanted to know, given the emperor's preference for King Qin, what the emperor would do to Lu Zixun when he knew that Lu Zixun had spread rumors to ruin the reputation of King Qin.

Hua Yanran nodded and said: "Dali Temple and Yushitai have many things to investigate, which is not easy. We should help and lend a helping hand."

Have people give evidence that Lu Zixun spread rumors to Dali Temple and Yushitai. By the way, remember to pick one or two letters from Wang Houzhe and Su Xin and send them over. "

When Hua Yanran said this, she suddenly thought of something and looked up at Hua Da, "Uncle Hua, let someone go and capture Manqing."

Hua Da immediately understood and said, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go there."

 “Wait a minute.” After saying that, Hua Yanran shouted towards the door: “Lonicera, come in.”

Ling Dong opened the door and came in. He bent his knees and asked, "Princess, what's the matter?"

Hua Yanran ordered: "Go and bring my medical box."

Su Er asked: "Princess, didn't you say that Feng Guangsheng's family will not be moved for the time being?"

Hua Da said: "The emperor ordered us to investigate Wang Houzhe and Su Xin. Hua Ruijun will definitely be alert. If Hua Ruijun is alert, what will he do?"

Su Er blurted out: "Kill people and silence them!"

“So we must capture Manqing before Hua Ruijun takes action.”

 Soon, Lonicera came in carrying a medical kit.

 Gu Huayu took out the Mongolian sweat medicine from the medical box and handed it to Hua Da, "This is the Mongolian sweat medicine, please keep it."

Hua Da took the medicine, turned around and walked out the door.

 The wise king was busy with the wedding and had not gone to the morning court for several days.

But what happened in the morning was reported to him half an hour later without missing a beat.

When King Xian learned that the emperor had ordered Dali Temple and Yushitai to investigate King Qin's murder of Mrs. Yang, he began to feel uneasy and hurriedly sent someone to call Lu Zixun for questioning.

Hua Ruijun entered the room and saw the wise king sitting behind the desk with a sad face. He asked with concern: "Is the prince encountering something troublesome?"

 Wang Xian told Hua Ruijun that his father ordered Dali Temple to investigate the murder of Mrs. Yang by King Qin.

After hearing this, Hua Ruijun said: "Your Majesty must ask this matter clearly and ask Mr. Lu if he has dealt with it from beginning to end. Don't let anyone get the handle. Otherwise, the Emperor will hold him accountable and the Prince will be implicated again." ”

This is what the wise king is worried about. Lu Zixun is too unreliable. Why did he let Lu Zixun take over this matter in the first place?

The wise king was filled with regret and sighed repeatedly: "I have been having bad luck lately, and bad things have happened one after another. Alas!"

Hua Ruijun comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Perhaps Mr. Lu has already dealt with the matter from beginning to end."

Hua Ruijun said words of relief, but like the wise king, he didn't believe in Lu Zixun at all.

The wise king sighed and said, "I hope so! From the time when I was granted the title of king and opened my palace, I have followed the civil and military officials to the early court.

 Six years have passed since spring passed and autumn came.

 In the past six years, I have never seen my father get angry in the court, let alone reprimand all civil and military officials.

 With my father disgusted with corruption, he ordered people to investigate the whereabouts of the money spent on river repairs. I can understand this.

But the King of Qin’s remarks about persecuting my grandmother were just rumors. They dissipated after a few days. How could my father be serious about it?

What’s even more outrageous is that Wang Houzhe’s romantic affairs when he was young were investigated by his father, which is really unbelievable. "

The wise king was extremely depressed. Whether it was Mrs. Yang’s affairs or Wang Houzhe’s affairs, they were all closely related to him.

Wang Houzhe is Wang Peiyun's father and his prospective father-in-law. It would do him no good to make a fuss about this matter.

 The wise king felt that he was being attacked from both sides, which made him physically and mentally exhausted. After the wedding, there is no joy at all...

Hua Ruijun pricked up his ears and asked, "Your Majesty asked about Mr. Wang's past in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

The wise king nodded, "Yes, someone is impeaching Wang Houzhe today, saying that he has bad personal ethics and killed his former best friend."

Hua Ruijun felt nervous and asked: "Master Wang and Mrs. Cui are deeply in love, how come they are so good at each other?"

The wise king sighed and said: "Before Wang Houzhe negotiated the marriage with Cui, he went to Yangzhou to serve abroad. It is said that it was at that time that he met the daughter of the Su family, a merchant in Yangzhou, and fell in love with the Su family's daughter at first sight.

 Later, Wang Houzhe was transferred back to the capital, and the Su family came to the capital for Wang Houzhe. After arriving in the capital, the Su family's daughter knew that Wang Houzhe had arranged a marriage with the Cui family's daughter. The daughter of the Su family could not withstand the original blow and hanged herself. "

Hua Ruiming said: "The daughter of the Su family couldn't figure out why she hanged herself. What does it matter to Mr. Wang?"

 Marriage pays attention to being well-matched. The Su family is a merchant family and wants to reach the prime minister's house..."

“At that time, the Wang family was not the prime minister’s house. The king was just the minister of the Ministry of Personnel.”

"The official position of the Minister of Civil Affairs is not low."

The wise king said: "For merchants, it is indeed not low."

"The daughter of the Su family wants to commit suicide. What does it matter to Mr. Guan Wang? The same goes for the people in the Yushitai. Don't they do things with no brains? They dare to report anything. They deserve to be reprimanded by the emperor."

Hua Ruijun became angrier as he talked.

The wise king in turn advised: "Ruijun, don't be angry.

Father asked them to investigate, let them investigate. Even if the Wang family did something to the Su family, it was more than 20 years ago. Miss Su only has a pile of bones left, how can they find anything else? "
