The Reborn Noble Daughter

 Chapter 255 255. Take charge

Others didn't know what route he took to get promoted so quickly, but Feng Jinxu knew that Xiao Tingyi must have done something behind it to reward him for the news he brought back from Jinling City.

 The clear rewards and punishments indeed make those who follow him more loyal.

 And he himself has prepared everything, just waiting for the time to take office.

Everything was going on step by step in Dongdu City at the moment, but Liang Quanbin, who had just arrived in Jinling City thousands of miles away, encountered a difficult matter at this moment.

“Sir, this member of the Zhu family has come to see me again. Is he still missing this time?”

The person who spoke was the steward who came with Liang Quanbin to take up his post. Now he came to ask with a frown.

From the second day after they arrived at Jinling City, members of the Zhu family came to visit them every day. Unfortunately, Liang Quanbin didn't take them seriously at all. The reason was that he heard a secret before they entered Jinling City.

Chi Min, Cao Zhu, and the four major families in Jinling City. He had heard of their great names before he came here, and he originally thought that he would not offend any of them.

Unexpectedly, the Cao family risked their lives on the way to see him in advance.

 He made it clear that the Zhu family conspired to kill the previous Governor Cao.

He still remembers the scarlet eyes of the head of the Cao family. When he talked about the Zhu family, he wanted to eat their flesh and drink their blood!

"No, I didn't come here to fight a life-and-death lawsuit for them. The Cao family must have bullied the Zhu family many times before. The two families had a deep hatred. Now that Director Cao is gone, they want to borrow my new son. When an official takes office to retaliate, the Cao family's plan is quite accurate."

"Since I know that the Cao family is interested in taking advantage, why don't you meet the Zhu family and listen to their opinions?"

Liang Quanbin smiled, looking scheming.

"What's the argument? If Governor Cao was not killed by the Zhu family, would the Cao family believe it? But if Governor Cao was killed by the Zhu family, what could the Cao family do? Since they have no way to kill the Zhu family in one fell swoop, and they want to use their own hands to disgust the Zhu family, Cao This idiot, the head of the family, has a good idea, I will not conflict with the Zhu family."

The housekeeper was puzzled, wondering what Liang Quanbin meant by what he did.

Unexpectedly, he said slowly, "Let the Zhu family think that I have been persuaded by the Cao family, so I don't see them. In this way, the Cao family will definitely prepare generous gifts to thank them. This is one of them. The Zhu family If you don’t want to live in the past, you will naturally think of ways to ask for a meeting with me. When the time comes, you will not be lenient with this greeting gift. This is the second one. When both families have something to ask for from me, I will be able to handle it. ? This is the third one.”

It turns out that the steward has been with Liang Quanbin for more than 20 years and is a loyal person. Therefore, he is not afraid of leaks, so he tells the steward about the matter.

“My lord, what a good idea! In this way, Jinling City can be gradually captured by your lord.”

"Don't think so well. The Chi family and the Min family are not easy to deal with. The Chi family is powerful and the Min family is authoritative. The Cao and Zhu families cannot compare with it. We have to slowly figure it out."

After saying that, he put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at the sky outside, whispered a few words to the housekeeper, and watched with a smile as he went out to talk to the people from the Zhu family.

 In the huge Water Transport Division Governor's Mansion, many things were left behind by the former Governor Cao.

 A whole family was killed mysteriously. Only a fool would believe it if no one was behind the scenes.

He has been sitting in Dali Temple for many years and still has some investigative skills. Therefore, he does not think that the matter is as simple as it seems. It is really the people of the Zhu family who did it.

 So, everything is on hold temporarily, waiting for him to take his time to investigate and then make a decision.

 In the Zhu family, Zhu Xiaoxian, who was about to get married in less than two months, was losing his temper at the moment.

The head of the Zhu family glanced at the meeting gift that was originally going to be sent to the Governor's Mansion of Water Transport, and returned it intact without raising his eyelids.     “Missed again?”

"No! This Commander Liang is an upright man. He said he didn't deserve any reward for his merits, and he blocked me out again."

Zhu Hong, the head of the Zhu family, glanced at his younger brother Zhu Tu and asked calmly.

 “What do you think, second brother?”

Although these two brothers from the Zhu family are from the same mother, they were born completely different.

Zhu Hong is rich, with a round face, and he looks kind-hearted.

Zhu Tu, on the other hand, was extremely thin, with no flesh on his face. There was a calculating shrewdness in his whole brow, especially his pair of triangular eyes, which looked like they were going to kill someone.

Over the years, the two brothers of the Zhu family have worked very well together. One is working in the Water Transport Department to make profits for the official, and the other is helping to hide and use the official food obtained through corruption. They cooperate very well.

Even the people in Prince Ding’s Mansion were unable to find out their account books, so one can imagine Zhu Tu’s ability.

 Therefore, when he asked, Zhu Xiaoxian also looked at the second uncle respectfully, wanting to hear his opinion.

Zhu Tu thought for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Everyone in the world is interested in profit. There is no deal that cannot be negotiated in this world, only money that is not attractive enough. I guess this new Commander Liang wants to take advantage of us and the Cao family. Just give me some I'm afraid Xu Liu's superficial greeting gift won't be able to knock on his door. If I exchange it for 30% of his official salary, maybe my eldest brother can be promoted to one or two more official positions."

Zhu Tu was a sharp-sighted person and saw what Liang Quanbin was thinking.

 Having been doing business for many years, my accuracy in judging people is naturally not bad!

 After hearing what he said, Zhu Xiaoxian was a little unhappy.

“Thirty percent! The rain hasn’t stopped this year. It’s hard to say whether the official food can be half of previous years. If it’s 30% more, don’t we have to fill the hole ourselves?”

 Zhu Hong smiled, his son was young and energetic after all.

“You, you still don’t understand that sentence. If you don’t mess with your children, you won’t be able to trap the wolf. If 30% of the official food can be exchanged for an opportunity for both you and my son to move up, it will be a good deal.”

Zhu Tu also laughed at the side. The eldest brother is the eldest brother, and he can understand his thoughts immediately!

 Zhu Hong woke up the dreamer with his words. Zhu Xiaoxian thought that now he was going to marry the daughter of the fifth room of the Chi family. If he could make progress in his official position, it would be a double blessing. Thinking of this, he realized.

So he clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, father and second uncle, leave this matter to me. Anyway, the batch of official rations that I have hoarded haven't been sold yet, so I might as well give them to Director Liang. A year's profit will be exchanged for these." , it’s really good.”

Hearing this, Zhu Hong felt reassured, "You are also going to start a family soon, so this matter must be done properly, you know?"

“Father, don’t worry! My son will try his best.”

After watching Zhu Xiaoxian exit, Zhu Hong glanced at his second brother Zhu Tu and said, "I wonder what the noble man will do when he knows about this?"
