Chen Tang tapped the tea table with his fingers, closing his eyes slightly in thought.


    "Are you really seeing it with your own eyes?" As he said that, he took out a broken silver from his sleeve and pushed it out with a sincere expression, "Oh, brothers don''t know that the little girl has only one daughter under her parents. The family business of the grain shop has been working hard all her life and has no son inherited it. The elders in the clan are coveting it and want to force their parents to adopt his young grandson. How can this be done in this world? The family business is not for the relatives to feed others? The elders also bring tribe members to the door to force them to force them to see..."


    Teake is a man.


    He didn''t think there was anything wrong with the elders'' approach.


    He didn''t say anything, but his true thoughts were revealed on his face.


    Before he could speak, Chen Tang moved himself out, his pretty face full of anger and reluctance, gritted his teeth and said, "The kings of the country are all women nowadays. If they follow the elders'' wishes, will the kings of the country also adopt a younger brother for themselves to abdicate?"


    The tea chef changed his face as soon as he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don''t argue with the saint, are you afraid of your life?"


    His reaction was a little too extreme.


    Chen Tang said in confusion: "I heard that the king of the country is lenient and gentle, how could he kill people just because of these two sentences? Besides, the little girl doesn''t have any disrespectful words."


    The teake saw that no one was looking at him, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He grabbed the broken silver in his hand and felt a little safe: "...Ah, you, a foreigner, know what you know... I have already said everything you can say. I did see the ghost crawling out of the cemetery with his own eyes, carrying the guide lights and scattering paper money to the county government grain warehouse. At this area under your feet, don''t say anything about the king, that person..."


    As he said that, he looked around and approached Chen Tang and whispered.


    "I heard that the man''s mouth and the heart of a snake is no different from those foolish lords in the past. He killed more people behind his back." Chen Tang gave tea chefs seven or eight pieces of silver, which was enough for his family to eat for a long time. His eyes looked at Chen Tang a little more eager.


    Take money from others and eliminate disasters with others.


    It’s a good deal to take some saliva and say something that everyone knows.


    Chen Tang smiled suddenly, and the court officials who had disguised bent down to drink tea, wishing they could bury their faces in a crude teacup.


    "Buddha''s mouth and snake''s heart? I haven''t heard of it..."


    She admitted that she killed a lot of people behind her back, but she dared to pat her chest and say that every head was reasonable and well-founded. There are rules for troubled times. She will not pursue anything she has done before, but Kang Guojian still plays the "unspoken rules" of the local emperor. Is there anything wrong with her knocking the human head away? It''s so insulting to compare her to those garbage!


    The tea chef looked like he saw through everything.


    She sighed, "That''s because she is used to being good at face."


    Chen Tang nodded like pounding garlic, as if he had really learned it.


    She pushed out another piece of silver under the eyes of the teake. The officials who had good things watched the fun while calculating how much money Chen Tang gave him. Kurabeji Doctor and his colleague bit their ears: "It must be seven or eight taels, right?"


    Who doesn’t know how stingy the king is?


    Although she has not delayed the salary of all officials over the years, she has never heard of anyone giving her a penny. Even though she has inspected the daily pocket money in the whole country, she still wants Chu Xiangning.


    This gossip is from a reliable source.


    The official who provided the news was on the scene and listened sincerely.


    Qi Xiang sighed and untied his wallet: [It’s not the Lord’s banquet? 】


    [You pay the bill and I treat you, why isn’t it considered a banquet? Do you have to invite a party to pay for the money? Alas, you don’t know that I’m so poor that I don’t have a penny… I’m really curious, how much Hanzhang overdraws me… It’s been the third year, right? 】


    Qi Xiang said: [I am also tight at work. 】


    The king said: [Who asked you to raise so many cats? 】


    The official dared not continue to listen to the subsequent conversation.


    But this matter spread.


    The gossip of the court officials was burning.


    How could this matter be missed?


    A young man stood up.


    It should be noted that the expenses in the cat slave’s house are like flowing water.


    Fortunately, Qishan has a daughter who can be a housekeeper. While studying medicine at the Medical Department, Qi Miao manages the official and provides the official account with the monthly deficit. Of course, you are not afraid of the deficit, because Qi Yuanliang will misappropriate the budget of the Gods Association to settle the accounts.


    This matter has always been a secret that is not known to outsiders. A group of important officials knew the tricks inside, but outsiders didn''t. The censor''s instinctive calculations privately and found that the money Qi Xiang spent on more than a hundred cats every year was ten times his salary!


    The Censorate has always been a story.


    The young man said to pray for good.


    Suspected that Qishan is suspected of corruption and bribery!


    The civil and military officials in the court were hesitant, and Qi Shan himself was also shocked.


    That day, the Censor Gu Chi coughed loudly.


    As that gossip spread, in addition to Chen Tang''s sting and chastity, there are also speculations about the relationship between her and Qi Xiang and Xun Zhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. From the dialogue analysis, the king of the country is so stingy because she gave all the money to Xun Shangshu. When she had no money, she borrowed Qi Xiang. Qi Xiang''s own salary could not afford to support so many cats...


    So the question is -


    What is the relationship between these three? ? ?


    In addition to the king''s indulgence to the censor, the concerted and harmonious conversation in the court seemed to have a tacit understanding. Chu Xiang likes a girl, and a witness saw Chu Xiang’s thing appear on the king… The king also stayed overnight at General Bai…


    Even though all the officials are knowledgeable, they feel very confused.


    The doctor of the Ministry of Food Department came over to share gossip, but he didn''t have the courage to speak directly. The king of his family''s ears were more sensitive than dogs, and his fingers were dipped in tea and wrote on the table: "There is a rumor that the Lord has spent money on a man in his life."


    The eyes of the deskmate lit up.


    "who?"


    The doctor of the Ministry of Food Department said, "Captain Chu."


    “How much did it cost?”


    “Three or two!”


    Several people took a deep breath.


    Some people who are brave even secretly went to see Chu Yao''s face.


    Chu Yao''s energy is not on these people. His current identity is the accountant gentleman beside Chen Tang. He was curiously close to the tea chef and asked, "I am used to being able to save face? Where do you start?"


    He has never been able to stand others saying bad things about Chen Tang.


    There was also a faint coldness in his eyes.


    The tea shop did not notice it.


    His eyes were staring at the money Chu Yao took out, and while snatching it, he opened the conversation and poured it out.


    "How many people have the local government arrested and killed? I remember half a year ago, a crazy woman from the Niu Er family fell ill and went to the street to say that the saint was a lustful court and deserved to have a son. The next day, the man was cut off his head and hung at the city gate. His stomach was opened, and his body was hung outside, naked... Alas, thinking about that scene would have to have nightmares for several nights." The tea chef looked like he couldn''t bear to recall.


    In an instant, the station became quiet.


    The original whispers disappeared completely. After a few breaths, they appeared one after another, fearing that tea lovers would find clues.


    Chen Tang lowered his eyelids: "What else?"


    The teacook took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.


    Continue to give advice: "It is difficult to think about the woman. She has to collect grain in Jinli County to do business. For your sincere concern, I will reveal more. If you want to do business, local merchants have to borrow official debts... If you don''t borrow official debts, don''t think about doing business in this area! Official debts, do you know what official debts are? I met me today. If someone else, tsk and take out gold, they may not tell you a few truths."


    He angrily said: "The king of the country relies on official debts to make money!"


    The station was quiet for another moment.


    The tea chef reacted.


    Looking around, I saw everyone talking and laughing as usual, no one paid attention to this corner. Was it his hallucination just now? Chen Tang said curiously: "Official debts make money?"


    Teake asked: "Have you ever heard of official debt?"


    Chen Tang shook his head.


    She really didn''t lie this time, and she really didn''t know.


    Teagu gave her some advice: "The so-called official debt is the debt that is released by an official! Generally, it is the rule of law, nine out of nine and thirteen. When a merchant does business, he goes to the official to borrow principal and use money to do business. After making money, he will give it to others with principal and interest."


    Chen Tang understood eighty or ninety points as soon as he heard this process.


    You still have to ask clearly: "I have something to do. Since it is a businessman doing business, how can you lose money?"


    Nine out and thirteen returns, isn’t this usury?


    Chen Tang stroked the teacup with his fingers, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.


    When the tea chef heard this, he immediately laughed out loud: "The reason is such a reason, but the woman is a businessman, and businessmen cannot do things so rigidly. Official debts are borrowing debts on the surface, but they are looking for a backer behind them. If you don''t borrow official debts, you don''t have a backer behind them, and your business still wants to be stable? You are shipped out by a batch of goods, and they are blocking you, and you will be fined by using the name! Deducting the goods! Take off your skin!"


    The station was strange and quiet for another moment.


    Chen Tang''s movement of rubbing the teacup paused.


    The tea chef continued to mock: "A few years ago, when the world was in chaos, although there was a risk of being robbed by businessmen, at least there were not so many tricks. Alas, now, there are few bandits on the road, and they are changing their faces to go to the official office..."


    Chen Tang grabbed the teacup and pursed his lips without saying a word.


    The tea chef mistakenly thought that she didn''t understand these tricks in her boudoir before, so she advised her for the sake of the broken silver: "My wife, doing business is just as a science as being a human being. If you want to do this business beautifully and leave the elders in the clan with nothing to say, listen to my advice and find a way to worship a backer. If you don''t have a backer to take care of you, you won''t receive much grain here. Even if you collect the grain, the unruly people below will bully people from other places. When you hand over the grain to you, you will be short of weight or mix sand and stones into it, or even pee."


    Chen Tang exhaled a breath of turbid air.


    "Listen to you is better than reading for ten years. The little woman said that no matter what, outsiders cannot let them lose their families, let alone let them steal their family business. What you just mentioned is the official debt, the backer... where to look for? I heard you speak well, you must be clear about the way."


    Official debts are disguised bribes.


    Chen Tang is very strict in this area.


    There are also inspection and censors from all over the country who are watching. Over the years, fewer and fewer insects have been caught. She thought these people were afraid of being killed by her, but now it seems that they are not. These insects were clearly hidden in a more hidden posture, haha.


    The ghost steals food, and the official debt is backed by...


    It is hard to say that there is no relationship between the two.


    Jinli County really gave me a great surprise.


    The tea chef came forward and pointed out a clear way for Chen Tang.


    "...You go north, there is a river a few miles away. Along the river bank, it is the canal river and lake of Jinli County. If you see a flower boat with a red flag dock, you will go over and nod, and the top card will tell you who you are looking for..."


    Chen Tang raised his eyebrows: "That''s enough?"


    The tea chef smiled and said, "It depends on luck."


    Chen Tang was a little angry: "It depends on luck? Although he has never pointed out the top cards, he also knows that they are expensive. He spent money to find someone, but he didn''t even find the threshold. Isn''t this a slaughter? Are you lying to me?"


    Tea chef explained: "It depends on luck when encountering a flower boat."


    The flower boat does not dock often.


    Chen Tang asked many more details.


    Tea customers say everything they know about money.


    Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Tang was about to set off again.


    He walked to the entrance of the station and rode a motorcycle, glanced into the house, and whispered: "Go and send someone to check this tea shop."


    The other party knows too much.


    It happened to be able to solve her doubts again.


    She wanted to know which expert was there to give the other party a guide.


    Chen Tang quietly took people to Zhechong Mansion again.


    The chief of Zhechong Prefecture was a female general with a strange appearance. Because she performed well in the battle of attacking Kunzhou and made contributions to suppressing the rebels, she was promoted to the Zhechong Commander of Jinli County. She had never seen Chen Tang''s face, and Chen Tang did not reveal her identity - before the matter was found out, these people were not trustworthy - they just said they were sent to investigate the "silent ghost''s food stealing case" and the "missile censor''s disappearance case".


    The reaction of the Zhe Chong Duwei was not flawed.


    When Shen Tang showed the token, he would answer any questions.


    When talking about the Qu Jianghu flower boat, she glared and scolded: "What is such a pampered matter? Those madams are so hateful!"


    Qu Jianghu is a landmark location in Jinli County.


    The scenery here is pleasant, and local literati and poets like to come here. Over time, many industries have been derived, such as the red light industry, where the beautiful and young flower girl is attracting passengers on the flower boat. It is said that when there were the most places here, more than a hundred flower boats gathered on the lake.


    Every night, there is constant music and singing.


    But that''s all the past.


    Since Kunzhou was completely taken down by Chen Tang, it has been constantly cracking down on related industries. Nearby soldiers trained by the lake every now and then, checked the flower boats when they saw them, and occasionally searched. The arrested guests will be thrown to eat for a few days. Once the number of crackdowns is too many, the Qujianghu flower boat business will not be able to continue. The madams were so angry that they gritted their teeth and resisted for a while, asking Hua Niang to bribe the chief of the Zhechong Mansion with a female sex, trying to drag the person into the water, but the chief was a woman and kicked it to the iron plate.


    The Zhe Chong Commander was not used to it either.


    The madam was beaten to the point of being so thin that she was paraded in the streets.


    Since then, it has calmed down.


    Qujianghu Flower Building began to transform.


    No longer engaged in flesh-and-skin business, they only played the piano and sang music for customers.


    No problems were found during several surprise inspections.


    The original flower girl was dressed more conservatively than the other, and the songs she sang were not a mediocre sound, and the guests on the flower boat were also content with their own composure. Commander Zhechong thought these people were honest, but he didn''t expect that they were selling dog meat with sheep''s head hanging on her, and he was playing tricks on her!


    Chen Tang asked about the Censor Zheng Yu again.


    What’s strange is that the Zhechong Commander did not know about this.


    Zheng Yu never came to Zhechong Mansion to bring rescue soldiers.


    Chen Tang pointed at the table with his fingers.


    "Some things need to be troubled by the commander to cooperate." She wanted to get on the flower boat to find out, and always felt that Zheng Yu''s whereabouts were unknown, and perhaps it had something to do with the flower boat. There are so many problems in Jinli County, so Zheng Yu mostly found out that he was silenced.


    The lieutenant Zhechong bowed: "The subordinate officials are responsible for their own affairs."


    Chen Tang quietly sneaked back to the temporary room.


    There are people waiting in the house.


    Chen Tang sat down and took a sip of tea: "Who did the tea guest meet?"
