Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 1253 Fifty-two · Greed does not matter

  Hong Changshi walked out of King Min's study and left King Min's mansion with his head held high.

   He did not go back to his home, but went to a private house in the east.

   The private house is not big, it is a small courtyard with two or three willow trees planted in it, which is swaying with the wind at this time.

He is Chang Shi, he has a waist card, and he is not affected by the curfew. People from Wucheng Bing and Ma Si will give him a bit of face. If so, Hong Changshi still tries his best to avoid patrolling people along the way. Carefully came to this private house, knocked on the door and waited patiently.

   After a while, an old man inside came to open the door, he dodged in, went straight to the main room, entered the door, and called Liu Ye first.

   Master Qiu snorted and looked at him with a smile: "Sir, it's really like this, and even I'm nervous."

Hong Changshi's hand was clenched. In front of Sixth Master Qiu, he unconsciously felt a little nervous, which was different from his calm appearance in front of King Min. In Sixth Master Qiu, he was very restrained, and his whole body was tense. , Hearing Qiu Liuye say this, his lips moved, and some helplessly twitched the corners of his mouth, carefully choosing his words: "As you said, I have told the sixth prince about this."

   Earlier, Hong Changshi said that officials in Jizhou knew about Song Heng and Zhao Qingye, but he was lying.

   At least Hong Changshi himself didn't know it.

   But Master Qiu asked him to say so.

  Hong Changshi had no choice. The day he was chosen to enter Prince Min's mansion, someone came to him and asked him to obey.

   As for why he was obedient, those people showed him the evidence of his greed for ink.

   Those things that are greedy for ink are nothing. The worst thing is that there is evidence of adultery during his filial piety. If these things are said, he will be ruined.

   Then those people gave him another 10,000 taels of silver.

  10,000 taels, the most money Hong Changshi ever greed for was 5,000 taels.

   In the face of these ten thousand taels and those terrifying reasons, Hong Changshi easily made a decision.

   Qiu Liuye was also somewhat satisfied. He smiled and said, "Well, as expected, Hong Changshi does things simply. I didn't find the wrong person. This is a good job. How did King Min react?"

He smiled and seemed to be very talkative, but Hong Changshi didn't dare to think that he was really kind, and said cautiously: "King Min, he is very angry, he seems to have learned something today, and he didn't stay in the inner courtyard. , went straight to the study, I also looked at him and seemed to be annoyed, so I told the matter carefully. He was really unwilling in his heart. "

   Of course, Liu Ye Qiu was not surprised at all.

   Most of these dragons and phoenixes are pretentious. Everyone thinks that they are born to be in that position. Who would think that they are not worthy?

   They will only feel that they are wronged, they all blame their mother and concubine's bad background, and they all blame the elder brother for being too flattering. Anyway, it is someone else's problem, and definitely not his own problem.

   This point, Qiu Liuye has already seen through it, otherwise, why did the second prince and the third prince frame the first prince to death?

  Why does King Zhuang single-mindedly want to be promoted?

  Now, it's King Min's turn.

   He is not too special either.

   Actually, at the beginning, Liu Ye Qiu negotiated with the southeast side, and wanted to find the fifth prince to start.

After all, the mother family of the fifth prince is the Pang family, and the Pang family is the mansion of the Duke. Back then, Duke Ping was in the army, and everyone called him the **** of war. Now the Duke of Ping, Pang Qingping, is also very powerful. In front of the governor in Zhejiang, he supported the training of sailors, and the sailors in Zhejiang were very obedient to him.

   But unfortunately, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

   The mother family of the fifth prince is too powerful, and he is not easy to be used.

  If this side tries to control and provoke the fifth prince, the Pang family will definitely not stand by.

   They were not sure to pull the Pang family into the water, so they could only give up the fifth prince and choose King Min.

   Besides, there is the most important point, that is, King Min's fief is better in Zhangzhou.

   And went to Zhangzhou, there were people from the southeast line everywhere, it was too easy for them to want King Lamin to go into the water.

  The room became quiet, and Liu Ye Qiu was lost in thought.

   And Hong Changshi didn't dare to disturb him, he sat on the side and waited quietly, sneaking a glance at Liu Ye Qiu from time to time.

   It took a while for Master Qiu to react, and he smiled kindly at Hong Changshi: "Look at me, I'm so lost in my thoughts, I'm really sorry for neglecting Hong Changshi."

   Hong Changshi dared to say anything, so he could only shake his head indifferently.

   Qiu Liuye glanced at his subordinates, and immediately someone took a silver note and gave it to Hong Changshi.

  Hong Changshi hurriedly waved his hand and was about to refuse, when he saw the big 20,000 characters on the bank note, and he couldn't take his eyes off.

  20,000 taels!

   These people are so generous!

  20,000 taels of silver, enough for him to settle down in his outer room, not afraid that they will have no place to live in the future.

Seeing Qiu Liuye like this, Qiu Liuye was not surprised at all, he raised his eyelids lazily: "Lord Hong, please accept it, be careful, if you can persuade King Min to submit a letter and ask to go to the fief, we will pay you back. Many thanks."

  Thank you?

   This is just a little care, so what is the heavy thanks?

  Hong Changshi was actually not greedy before, most of the things he did were within the scope of his ability, and the most powerful one was only greedy for five thousand taels of silver.

   It's like this, someone would give him 10,000 taels or 20,000 at every turn, and he had never met him before.

   And now that he met, he realized that when a person is faced with such a large amount of money, he really has no ability to resist.

  Hong Changshi carefully took the silver note and said heavily: "Don't worry, I will do my best."

   Qiu Liuye nodded and let someone send him out.

   As soon as he left, Sixth Master Qiu's confidant came out from behind the screen and said softly, "Your Excellency gave the money so generously from the beginning, I'm afraid he's not greedy enough!"

   Greedy but not greedy, in fact, Qiu Liuye doesn't care about money.

   Those who do maritime business in the southeast, which one cares about money?

   Such a small amount of silver, for them, is just a little bit squeezed out between the teeth.

He smiled and said, "His Royal Highness asked us to help him get King Min to the fief quickly, so naturally I have my heart. I'm not afraid of being greedy, as long as he does things well, a little bit of greed is nothing. ."

After he finished speaking, he went outside to look at the sky and let out a long sigh: "Look, it's almost the new year, and after the new year, it will be the big day when the grandson and concubine get married. The grandson has everything. Good, but everything is too good, this is a bit bad, how long will our good days last, maybe!"
