Chapter 265: Sneak Into The Night With The Wind
The virtuous king looked at Xiao Ye and said, "Do you think that this king is urging you all day long for my own comfort? This king is all for your own good! If it weren't for the fact that your family has military power to inherit, you would be willing to do this every day if you were the king. Do you train your own son?"
Xiao Ye: "Then you secretly changed my tiles during mahjong today for my own good?"
King Xian: "..."
Well, King Xian admitted that there was indeed a personal grievance, and he didn't want to change it at first, but who knew that this kid was so lucky that he could win everything!
Hey, does this kid like to talk back to himself so much? !
The virtuous king said: "By the way, do you want to know why Weifu said that there is something wrong with that gambling house? Come Weifu and tell you."
Xiao Ye shook his head and said: "No, no, no! My boy is just asking about changing cards. As for the gambling house, my boy is not interested in it,"
King Xian: "No, you are interested."
Xiao Ye: "?!"
Xian Wang said: "You have never thought about why the gambling house gave it to Zhou, what happened to Zhou?"
Xiao Ye: "Zhou Chengze."
The Xian King nodded and said: "Oh, yes, do you know why the gambling house gave more than six hundred taels to the son of the Minister of Rites?"
Xiao Ye looked at King Xian with a puzzled look on his face, not because he was puzzled by the question, but because he clearly told his father his name, and in the end he just said the son of the Minister of Rites?
If so, why ask yourself?
However, in view of the fact that his father did not do one or two things different from ordinary people, Xiao Ye did not ask many questions, and said, "Isn't it because the gambling house can't be provoked? Besides, maybe the owner of the gambling shop still wants to borrow This is to please Zhou Chengze and then bribe the Minister of Rites."
The virtuous king said: "The Ministry of Rites is a Qingshui yamen. There is no way to seek power and wealth, and it has nothing to do with gambling houses. Why do you want to bribe? And six hundred and sixty-six taels, even if it is the salary of the Minister of Rites for a year, Including Lumi, manpower, job fields, monthly miscellaneous expenses, etc., it is far from this figure.”
"Even if it's a bribe, wouldn't it be better to find a way to give it directly to the Minister of Rites? Give it to a second generation ancestor? There are no fools who can afford to open a gambling house, and they won't do this unless..."
Xiao Ye took over the conversation and said: "Unless the money is his in the first place?"
The Xian Wang glanced at Xiao Ye and said: "Yes, unless the money is his in the first place, the purpose is to give this batch of money a reasonable source."
Xiao Ye said: "However, now that the limelight has just passed, the Minister of Rites dares to act so boldly and blatantly let his son go, isn't he afraid of being discovered?"
The virtuous king said: "The less people who know about the laundering of money, the better, I am afraid that only he and the gambling house know about it, and his son should be just an uninformed transshipment person most of the time, he will find a way to get rid of it." Most of the silver in his son's hands was taken away reasonably."
"It's also possible that the little money given to Zhou Chengze is just some petty profit that leaked out. Maybe the Minister of Rites doesn't rely on his second son at all."
"It seems that every time when offering sacrifices to the imperial examinations, the Ministry of Rites, which seems to be the Qingshui Yamen, often withholds money. It is the king who underestimates them."
Xiao Ye said: "Then why don't we arrest them and question them?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Ye shook his head again and said: "No way, this gambling house is likely to be more than the money of the Shangshu family of the Baptism Department, so I am afraid that the situation that has finally stabilized will fall into chaos again."
King Xian nodded in agreement and said: "That's right. Although Chu State seems to be stable now, it is always in the wind and rain. The court cannot stand the toss. This matter should be investigated in secret. Let the Zhou family live more for the time being." Two years."
King Xian is very pleased that his son's brain has finally started to grow, but fortunately, he can last at least thirty years, and it is not too late to grow up now.
Now the money of the Zhou family and some officials can only be laundered less and less. After laundering the money they were greedy in the past, it is estimated that it will be difficult to launder the money in the future.
After the implementation of the Lending Law, it is no longer the general accounting as in the past, and each account has details.
In the past, it might be possible to falsely declare a thousand taels of silver or even falsely declare tens of thousands of taels of silver on some large sums of money.
But now, under the principle that the big account is governed by the small account, and the small account is governed by the subsidiary account, and the loan must be equal, let alone a false report of one thousand taels, even one hundred taels is extremely risky!
And if it is less than one hundred taels, how many people need to share the silver?
Is this little money worth washing? !
Can you pick it up on the road?
well! This year's Beijing officials are getting worse and worse.
Many corrupt officials scolded the Ministry of Households in their hearts!
If you don't scold the Ministry of Accounts, who will you scold? You can't check the accounts carefully! If you insist on borrowing the accounting method of the National Chamber of Commerce, we can't get money, and you can't get it either?
What the hell is in it for you?
Andingbo Mansion
After Xu Qing finished eating, he put the bowl on the table. Xuan'er looked at Xu Qing and said, "Master, have you finished eating? Can Xuan'er clean up the table?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "It's over."
Just as Xuan'er was clearing the table, Xu Qing said, "Xuan'er, can you not call me uncle in the future?"
Xuan'er blinked her big eyes: "What's your name if you don't call me uncle?"
Xu Qing said: "Actually, he can also be called a handsome guy."
Xuan'er silently put the bowls and chopsticks on the tray and said: "My lord, please let me go, Xuan'er is going to wash the dishes."
...
When Xu Qing got up in the morning, there was already the sound of rain outside.
The rain in spring is thin and soft. When the rain falls on the buds of the peach trees in the courtyard, it seems to make the buds that are only light blue green green.
Xu Qing was standing in front of the bedroom window looking at the rain scene in the courtyard.
At this time, Xu Qing, who was only wearing a lining, was suddenly covered with a long robe.
Su Qian came over and put the robe on Xu Qing's body and said, "This morning is a bit chilly because of the rain. Husband, put on your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold."
After Xu Qing put on his robe, he looked at the rain scene outside, held Su Qian's plain hands that were arranging his clothes in his own, and said, "This rain started in the middle of the night yesterday. It didn’t stop, it seems that the back garden doesn’t need to be watered today.”
Su Qian stood next to Xu Qing and said, "Everyone says that spring rain is as expensive as oil, but today is enough."
Xu Qing said: "Yes, but I'm afraid it won't last long. It really sneaks into the night with the wind, moistening everything silently!"
Su Qian glanced at Xu Qing in surprise, drew the corners of her mouth and said, "It's been a long time since I heard my husband write a poem. Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently, it's perfect to describe the spring rain, which is as expensive as oil."
Xu Qing said with a smile: "Would you like to try to analyze the thoughts and feelings of your husband expressed in this poem?"
Su Qian froze there for a moment, what thoughts and feelings should be analyzed when writing a poem?
Husband has cat cake today?
