The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 20 Collusion
Although Pei Chengyu was not a murderer, he was the owner of the house, so he was naturally involved. The house he rented was always guarded by officers and soldiers, and he was called to the county government office for questioning from time to time. The house where the murder occurred was also sealed. Things were naturally put on hold again.

It makes me feel aggrieved to think that my father is in Kyoto now, that the Guanglitong business has not been completed, and that he is still being monitored everywhere.

Pei Chengyu visited Prime Minister Su several times but was turned away and could not even see Prime Minister Su.

Nowadays, the only thing that can be related to the Su family is collusion with the Yan family.

It seems that the plan for Qin Ruizhi is moving forward.

Pei Xingheng sighed, closed the window, turned back to the tea table, raised the kettle and poured water, only to find that more than half of the tea he had just brewed had been drained, "Brother Chai, can you really drink it? That dowry of hundreds of thousands, is full of water." It’s the first time since the founding of this dynasty that a long street is full, so you’re not curious and don’t want to see it with your own eyes?”

Pei Xingheng gently put down the tea cup, with a serious look on his face, "You already said that the banquet was a disaster relief fund for corruption. Sizhou floods killed tens of thousands of people, and all that money was stained with human lives. Mr. Su is now the Prime Minister, and he also serves as an official. The Minister of the Ministry, in charge of the appointment of officials, and the banquet with such a generous dowry contribution, I believe that it will not be long before he can recover and re-enter the court as an official. There will be more innocent people suffering in this world."

After speaking, he sighed slightly, for the innocent people who died in the Sizhou flood.

Innocent people have turned into dust, but corrupt people are squandering their wealth. It is really a chaotic world.

Do you want to re-enter the court as an official if you have a polite banquet?

Pei Xingheng only heard this sentence. Perhaps, he should work harder to get closer to the Yan family, follow the vine of the Yan family, and then climb into the relationship with Prime Minister Su.

As long as there is Prime Minister Su as a backer, the establishment of Guangli Tong Trading Company in Kyoto will be smooth, and with Prime Minister Su sitting behind the scenes, naturally no other envious young people will dare to trouble the business.

From then on, once and for all, he made a lot of profits and prospered.

However, Chai Pei looked down on Yan Youli's behavior, and Pei Xingheng did not dare to show any signs of it in front of him, so he could only think of ways to change the subject. Xiangzhou, which was now attracting much attention, was naturally brought out.

Pei Xingheng leaned closer to Chai Pei and said mysteriously: "Brother Chai, I have some top-secret news for you. General Fudu is preparing to return to the court. It is said that the general discovered a money-making workshop in Xiangzhou. There is a money-making furnace that is ten feet high, and there are countless coins that have not been transferred. No wonder Xiangzhou can resist for half a year and would rather die than surrender. With this money-making furnace and no shortage of food and grass, it can naturally withstand it."

Chai Pei raised his eyebrows slightly, "Since it's top secret, how could you know?"

Pei Xingheng said: "The general wants to return to the court, so he will naturally take the money with him. Such a large amount of money will definitely not be hidden if he wants to move it. You also know that many people in the Pei family are trapped in Xiangzhou. Recently, Xiangzhou The state is unblocked and the people trapped in Xiangzhou come back and bring me this news."

When he heard the news, Pei Xingheng was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

If the Pei family could have such a money-producing stove, it would be unthinkable to live a life of wealth and wealth lying on a mountain of money.

As long as the Guanglitong store in Kyoto can open smoothly, and follow the unlimited expansion of the Guanglitong store in Kyoto, it will also be a furnace that can generate money. It is exciting to think about it.

Maybe it's time to go see Mrs. Yan.

"Brother Chai, Xiangzhou has been unblocked, and everything is waiting to be revitalized. This is the time for my Pei family to show its strength. Please forgive me for not accompanying me as I have other urgent matters to attend to."

Pei Xingheng bowed to Chai Pei and left in a hurry.

The Yan family was very happy, and the Pei family naturally wanted to send a congratulatory gift.Pei Xingheng carried 2000 taels of banknotes in his pocket, and also brought a loan deed signed with Qin Ruizhi's name to the Yan family.

In order to avoid being noticed, Pei Xingheng waited for the guests to disperse before slowly going to Yan's house.

The huge house was deserted. Mrs. Yan held the fan and sat in the yard, looking up at the stars. The dark clouds covered the sun and she couldn't see anything.

"Congratulations to Madam Banquet, Madam Congratulations to Madam Banquet. Please forgive me for being late, and Madam for your forgiveness. This is a little thought from the Pei family, and Madam please accept it."

When the Pei family founded the Guanglitong business, the gifts they gave out were naturally banknotes.

Madam Yan glanced at it from the corner of her eye and saw a thin piece of paper that was out of sight, so she naturally did not reach out to pick it up.Since the Yan family can afford a dowry of 50 taels, they naturally won't care about mere gifts.

Gift money was never what she needed.

Pei Xingheng understood the idea carefully, took out Qin Ruizhi's loan deed from his arms, and turned around. The words Qin Ruizhi just fell in Madam Yan's eyes, and he handed it over respectfully, "Madam, I would like to express my gratitude and ask Madam to fulfill it."

Mrs. Yan glanced at the words Qin Ruizhi, so she picked up the loan deed and read it with interest. After reading it, the corners of her mouth raised. She returned the loan deed to Pei Xingheng and accepted the 2000 tael banknote. , "The Pei Mansion is interested, so I will accept it. I heard that Mr. Pei's preparation for Guanglitong Company in Kyoto was not going well. When Yingzhu arrives in Kyoto, I will let her find an opportunity to tell Prime Minister Su, Mr. Pei, please do it for your convenience. My master also wants to become an official again. In the future, our two families will still have more contacts. As long as my master is useful, just let me know. "

"Yes, thank you madam. From now on, the Pei family will all rely on Master Yan and Prime Minister Su." Pei Xingheng's attitude became more respectful, almost flattering, "Then, madam, when is the best time for me to go to the Gao family to collect debts?"

"In half a month." Madam Banquet said.

In half a month, the appointment letter from Kyoto should arrive.

..............................

On the day Yan Yingzhu got married, Sun Xiumin specially sent his two daughters to take Qin Ruizhi outside the city to enjoy the flowers. There were wild flowers everywhere outside the city, and the fragrance was overflowing. They ate a banquet and lingered until sunset before returning.

After coming back, I found out that Sun Xiumin actually gave Yanfu a gift of 1000 taels, which was the family's livelihood for five years.

Gao Lingchu was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to express it, and shed tears of grievance.

Gao Lingzhou complained quite a bit, thinking that her mother had just taught her a lesson a few days ago and told her to stop visiting Yan Mansion, but her mother herself gave such a high gift to Yan Mansion.

Qin Ruizhi just felt strange. With the situation of the high court, such a high gift should not be given. This is not like a gift, but more like a kind of flattery, or a bribe.

With Gao Jinying's temperament, he could safely serve as a small county magistrate in Puzhou for 20 years, so he was naturally not a person who clings to the powerful.

Thinking about it again, Sun Xiumin's attitude of forcing Qin Ruizhi to settle the matter by relying on the kindness of upbringing should not only be due to the deep love between sisters, but there may be some transaction that she doesn't know about.
