Kowloon wins

Chapter 78
Well, daddy, daddy, your boss finally made me feel relieved, and you did a good job!

Don't look at Hong Qing standing on the sidelines all the time, and her face is always calm and calm, but her heart is always on her mind. What I'm afraid of is that the third master will not be able to calm down. Jintai is mixed together, and there will be more variables in the future. Of course, this does not mean that Hongqing does not look down on the power of the prince, but that the time is not yet ripe - before the old man's imperial edict Before going down, any disturbance might leak the news. If a gecko cut off its tail, wouldn't it be impossible for Hong Qing's various arrangements to fall into emptiness, or even be beaten up by the other party? As for counting on the prince for help in times of distress, it would be better to count on the sow to climb a tree. Fortunately, the third master is finally sober enough, and Hong Qing can feel a little relieved.

"Qing'er performed well this time, and I'm very happy for my father."

This one, Hong Qing, was praising the third master in her heart, and the third master who had just put down the teacup on the other end praised Hong Qing with almost the same words. It really made Hong Qing a little bit dumbfounded, and this is too much of a coincidence stop!
"Father praised it absurdly. It is a child's duty to share the father's worries."

Feeling sloppy in her heart, she had to say the words that should be thanked, Hong Qing hurriedly restrained herself, bowed her body, and replied very humbly.

"Well, I'm afraid it cost a lot of money to adjust the grain twice?"

The third master was obviously very satisfied with Hong Qing's attitude of not being arrogant, so he didn't say anything more, just nodded with a happy expression, and then asked casually.

"Returning to the father, the two purchases of grain cost 1 taels of silver. Although the cost is a lot, the child thinks it is worth it."

Hong Qing felt a little relaxed at the moment, and didn't think about the purpose of the third master's question, so she answered it casually.

"Huh? This gang of damned thieves dare to act so recklessly, this king will never give up with you!"

Hearing Hong Qing's words, the third master immediately became angry, not because of anything else, but because the third master had already calculated the difference in the price of the two batches of grain in an instant. You must know that this time Li Minquan came forward to buy grain, and it was a taxi. It's not just the banner of his third master, I'm afraid he also used the love of his fellow countrymen, and the court has opened a warehouse to release grain, and the price of grain has been lower than when the disaster was the worst. Theoretically speaking, it should be slightly lower than the normal market price. Even so, the grain price is more than four times that of Huguang's grain. This is because Jining has not been affected by the disaster. If it is replaced by the disaster area, the grain price will not be doubled. After a few rounds, the thought of several 10 taels of silver being swallowed up by Lao Ba and his gang out of conscience, the anger that the third master had calmed down suddenly surged up again.

Hey, you've only realized it now, well, just being angry is useless, it's true to think more about how to copy people's old background!

Looking at the excited look of the third master, Hong Qing couldn't help rolling her eyes, and scorned her father in her heart, probably because the most important thing right now is not to get angry, but to use her brains, if she wants to be angry with others If he sings a big show at home and has no wrist, he is definitely asking for his own death. If he is not careful, the lives of the father and son may have to be confessed to the ground in Shandong.

"Qing'er, how did you come up with the idea of ​​transferring food from Huguang, huh?"

The third master's anger didn't last long, before Hong Qing could change his mind, he saw the third master's complexion suddenly turned cold, staring at Hong Qing with piercing eyes, and almost asked the question word by word.

Uh huh, Dad is getting suspicious!

As soon as he heard the words of the third master, Hong Qing immediately guessed what the third master was thinking. There is nothing else, and the purchase of grain in Jining can be pushed to Li Minquan. It is difficult to explain the matter of food transfer, after all, the imperial court has ordered the food transfer from Huguang, and Hong Qing’s attempt to do this again, from a logical point of view, is obviously suspicious of duplication, if it is not predicted in advance that this business trip will go wrong If so, how could he act like this.

"Returning to the father, the child was just thinking about being prepared. Even if there is nothing wrong, it is always good to do more for the victims. So I discussed with Uncle Fifteen and Uncle Sixteen to buy more food for later use. I really didn't expect it to be a coincidence, and it really came in handy."

It has been more than a year since we traveled to this era. Most of the important actions of the Chengjun Prince's Mansion were written by Hongqing. Sooner or later, Hong Qing had anticipated this point, but Hong Qing didn't want to expose it so early, so she quickly organized her words, and replied with a mixture of truth and falsehood.

"Oh? Is that all? Qing'er is still a bit late, let's talk about it as a father."

The third master is a shrewd person, and he is definitely not so easy to deceive. No matter how sincere Hong Qing said, he still didn't let go of it. On the contrary, he became more suspicious, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he continued quietly. asked.

Second hand?Fuck me, it looks like I can't hide it, everyone said that the third master is smart, hey, he is really smart, and I'm afraid the days in the future will be difficult!

The reason why Hongqing didn't want to expose too early was not because she was worried that her father would be unfavorable to her, but because she had other considerations. After all, with Li Minquan as a transit point, if there was a slight misjudgment, there would be another The opportunity to make amends, but if Hong Qing stands up and makes suggestions, and is easily blamed, the burden on her shoulders will definitely be heavy. Besides, the relationship between father and son is there. Li Minquan can say something, but Hong Qing is not. Needless to say, the difference is obvious.

"Returning to the words of the father, before leaving Beijing, the master has explained that the child must not tell the father, but now that the father has guessed it, the child will not hide it from you. All the matters are deduced by the master. Hai'er was just following orders. Besides buying food, Hai'er also sent someone to Jining. This person was named Geng Sanbiao, who was originally a squad leader of Wucheng Bingma Division. After being introduced by Uncle Sixteen, he went to the company. The leader of the guarding factory team should be Ren Qianzong in the city defense battalion right now, maybe he can come in handy."

The third master is shrewd, and Hong Qing is also not bad, no matter what the facts are, if he opens his mouth, the nonsense will come out very smoothly, even if the third master doesn't believe it, he can't ask Old Master Chen This temper is not small master.

"Well, it turned out that Master did it. That's all. Since Master said to keep it a secret, it's okay for father not to ask. As for that Geng Sanbiao, find a chance to bring him here. Let father have a look and talk about it."

Hearing that Hong Qing had pushed all kinds of schemes on Old Master Chen, although the third master still had doubts in his heart, he couldn't go on asking, so he nodded his head ponderously, and confessed to Hong Qing.

"No, my child will obey my father's orders."

Knowing that the doubts in the third master's heart were still there, Hong Qing didn't intend to explain further, it would be good to expose herself later, as for what will happen in the future, it will not be too late to talk about it.

"Well, let's go."

The third master didn't ask any more questions, but just waved his hand to signal Hong Qing to back down.

"Yes, baby retire."

The bottom line that needs to be clarified is over, and there are not many who can help the third master. The rest can only be determined based on the opponent's reaction. Hong Qing really needs a period of time to sort out her thoughts. , Hong Qing didn't want to say any more, so she bowed respectfully, walked out of the study slowly, and went to deduce the follow-up changes without mentioning...

"Master Shi, good news, food is available!"

In the garden of the back hall of the Hecao Yamen, Yinyu was sitting crookedly on a rocking chair with her arms open, holding a wine jar in her hand, drinking refreshingly while chatting nonsense with Ru Fu, While enjoying himself, he saw Puqi, the governor of Shandong Province, walking in from outside excitedly, before the person arrived, the voice came first.

"Huh? What kind of food, old man, don't you have a fever?"

Yinyu just picked up the wine jar and was about to take a big drink. When Gong Puqi yelled at him, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he almost knocked over the wine jar, and he couldn't help feeling a little angry. Glancing at Gong Pucci displeasedly, he cursed angrily.

"Master Shi Mingjian, I dare not lie to you if I deceive anyone. I really have this food. Hehe, Lord Ten, you don't know. The thing is like this..."

Eighth, ninth, tenth, fourteenth, the four masters are one. Gong Puqi, as the apprentice of the eighth master, naturally dare not take the truth seriously with the tenth master. Hearing that the tenth master's tone is not good, how dare he play tricks , hurriedly reported the news from the third master one by one.

"Aha, the third guy really paid for the food by himself, hey, yes, it will save me a lot of trouble, grandma is a bear, it would be better if I did this earlier, and I have been burdened by the past few days. Think about it, you bastard!"

Everyone loves the white money, but it is easy to hold it, but it is not so simple to get things done. Don't look at Shi Ye's happy and carefree days, in fact, he doesn't have much peace in his heart. After all, Shandong If it really messed up, although the big board is destined to hit the third master, he can't escape the responsibility of the tenth master. Because of this, the tenth master is quite angry with the third master-if he had stayed in Liaocheng for a long time back then In the past few days, all the links can be closed smoothly, and it requires so much fuss. Of course, how many more victims will be killed if the food is delayed for a few days, but it is never in the old ten Within the scope of his consideration, when he thought of the unhappiness of the past few days, Master Shi became a little angry. Although Master San's move was unintentionally helping him a lot, Master Shi still cursed in extreme dissatisfaction .

"Is the news reliable?"

Ru Fu is an old official with a lot of experience in politics. Although he was refreshed by the good news brought by Gong Puqi, he still didn't dare to feel at ease, so he rushed to ask questions. One sentence.

"This..., it should be true. The first batch of rations was distributed by the lower officials. As for the second batch of rations, the lower officials dare not speak nonsense. They just look at the attitude of the third master. It should be There will be no fakes."

Being asked by Ru Fu, Gong Puqi couldn't help but feel a little thumping in his heart. You must know that all the announcements have been made to the various prefectures. If something goes wrong suddenly, then Gong Puqi will have to Bearing a huge responsibility, under the panic, beads of sweat on his forehead can't help but burst out...
