Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

Fengyue Street is very quiet during the day. In each building, except for the gatekeepers, everyone else is catching up on their sleep. Mei Qianghua has the right to enter and exit at any time, and she only relies on money to clear the way.

Besides, it's a snowy winter now, so if they come out and leave footprints in the snow, it's disrespectful to the winter at the border.

In this world, apart from charcoal fires, the only things that can be used for heating seem to be animal furs.

When they arrived at Fengyue Street, a man wearing uniforms was standing at the door of Liufang Building. When he saw Mei Qianghua approaching, he immediately smiled.

"Shopkeeper Qian? Why do you have time to come to Fengyue Street during the day?"

"You came here to see Miss Liuyue to enjoy the snow. Who are you?" Mei Qianghua looked up and saw an old man covered in white snow repairing tiles on the roof.

She squinted her eyes, this person... looked familiar...

"Who is this?"

The officer yelled, "This is a criminal exiled by the imperial court. He is a member of the clan of Han Yao, the former Minister of Rites."

Mei Qianghua: "Although the exiled sinners do need to do some work such as labor and construction, but this man is so old, are you not afraid of him falling off?"

Officer: "Originally, the name was Han Yao's family, but I didn't expect that this family would blame the matter on other Han clan members. I'm also annoyed when I talk about it."

He did not say that the reason why he agreed with what Han Yao's family should do and passed the matter to other clan members was because he secretly collected their family's money.

Mei Qianghua looked at the people on the roof and sighed, with a somewhat sympathetic expression, "A person at such an old age has only a few years to live. It's better to rest more. Some things have to be determined by whose responsibility they belong." Who’s going to do it, don’t you think?” Then he took out a banknote and handed it over.

The clerk looked overjoyed and quickly took the banknote. With a quick glance, his face lit up with joy, "Oh, I thought so too." It would be best if there were more such soft-hearted women, hahaha...

I agree that Han Yao's family can't help but charge them one tael of silver to find someone to support them, but the old man who made shopkeeper Qian soft-hearted can earn a hundred taels of rest by letting him rest. He knows which one to choose with his toes.

Mei Qianghua: "I remember that there are quite a lot of young people in the Han and Yao family? Why can't anyone be spared?"

The officer looked around and saw no one, so he came closer and whispered: "Corrupt officials also have one or two close friends. I heard that the Han and Yao family are protected by superiors."

Mei Qianghua blinked, is this allowed to be said? Can you say a little more?

Her face was full of curiosity as she listened to the gossip, and she also whispered, "Who will protect them?"

"It seems that a general is protecting them secretly without exposing it to the public. Little guys like us don't know who it is." After he finished speaking, he added, "Don't tell anyone about this."

Mei Qianghua patted her chest: "Don't worry, I'm a businessman. How can I make money if I don't trust my words, don't you think so?"

The words are firm, but the hands are firm. You have to remember a small book and report it!

The officer was relieved.

Mei Qianghua patted the door of Liufang Building, and the boy guarding the door opened the door with a somewhat ugly expression. When he saw it was Mei Qianghua, he immediately turned into a flattering smile, "Shopkeeper Qian, why are you here? But who do you want to see? Sister? I'll call you right away."

Mei Qianghua waved her hand, "I'm not busy. Is there a fire in the kitchen? If so, let the kitchen pack some steamed buns and make them faster." Then she threw two taels of silver to him.

The boy took it and bowed several times, "I'll get it for you, little one."

Seeing him go to the kitchen, Mei Qianghua returned to the servant and chatted with him.

The guard probably felt a little bored standing alone in the snow, so he started chatting with her about the gossip.

While they were chatting enthusiastically, the old man on the roof came down the ladder on the side.

He lowered his head and bent his hands: "Master, everything has been repaired."

The officer glanced at the roof, then turned to Mei Qianghua and said: "Shopkeeper Qian, I'm done with this matter, and I have to go back to reply, so I'll leave now and talk to you another day." These are sinners, although they can make They come out to do things, but they still have to be watched closely to prevent them from escaping.

After saying hello to the old man, he left.

"Wait." She called them, and Xiao Si from Liufanglou came out with a steaming bundle. She took it and handed it to the old man, "This is for you."

"Look at the snow all over this body, alas..." After saying that, he pretended to take out a clay pot from his pocket and stuffed it into his bag, "This medicine was originally given to Miss Liuyue. It can cure and prevent wind and cold. Look at you. At this age, I’ll give it to you, three times a day, one spoonful at a time, you have to take it after meals.”

The old man turned his head and looked at the guard with an uneasy expression. He didn't know whether he should accept it or not.

The servant nodded: "Take it, this is because shopkeeper Qian saw you, an old man, busy working on a snowy day, and became kind-hearted, so why don't you kowtow to say thank you!"

"Forget it, forget it, I'm afraid of losing my life." Mei Qianghua grabbed the other person's body as he was about to kneel down, and handed the thing in her hand into his arms.

Finally, after thinking about it, I couldn’t help but say,

"You still support a clan that is dragging you down. Do you like the feeling of being inferior to others and not being a human being?"

When the old man heard this, he froze in place.

Mei Qianghua waved her hand, "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, everyone should go back quickly."

The guard glanced at her and muttered to himself that shopkeeper Qian still couldn't bear to see this old man being bullied by his tribe.

He said to the old man: "Let's go."

Normally, he would have just used his hands and feet to drive her away, but considering that he had just received a hundred taels of silver from the shopkeeper, he was willing to be nicer.

Looking at the back of the old man stumbling away, Mei Qianghua felt a little sad. As a modern person, she really didn't understand why in a family with the same surname, the name of a patriarch could treat other brothers like cattle and horses. The most important thing is that they didn't seem to think anything was wrong without anyone reminding them.

Isn't this Han Yao the enhanced version of Boss Li?

"Did you see that, Xiaoba, luckily I ran away early, otherwise you and I would have lived such a life. How could we have a young lady by our side every day and live a life of spending money like water?"

There are many ways to deal with them, why bother to follow them and get covered in mud before leaving.

"Money is great!" The blue bird raised its wings very happily.

Mei Qianghua waved her hand: "Let's go and watch the young lady dance the red plum dance!"

……

In the imperial study room.

Emperor Yan read the newly obtained intelligence report in his hand, then handed it to the person waiting on the side, and motioned him to give it to Du Shilang who was standing below.

Du Shilang took the memorial and looked it over quickly. He probably had some thoughts before, so after seeing the content above, he didn't seem so surprised.

Emperor Yan snorted softly: "This Lao Qi is hiding very deep. Several brothers have his people around them, and they are still thinking of making a comeback."

Including the second prince who died during the heirloom, several of his brothers were surrounded by his people. Even the two concubines in his harem that he gave a certain degree of favor to were specially arranged by him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yan couldn't help but feel a trace of anger on his face. Even if he was not smitten by the beauty, he still fell into the trap. As long as he thought that Lao Qi would laugh at him behind his back, he wanted to kill him!

Du Shilang felt the anger from above who wanted to kill someone, his scalp went numb, and he handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

He said respectfully: "Fortunately, God is on your Majesty's side, so Prince Yu's wolfish ambitions were exposed one step ahead. It's not too late now, just wait until the rebellious ministers and traitors are slowly dealt with."

Although the intelligence report shown to him did not clearly state the people arranged around His Majesty, he could almost understand that they were just eunuchs or guards serving around him, or else they were concubines in the harem.

Immediately, he thought of the most favored concubine in Emperor Yan's harem.

This method is very common. Nowadays, it is popular among officials that bosses give concubines to their subordinates. Isn't it also a method of monitoring subordinates?

Why doesn't he take a concubine? Don't you want to? of course not!

It was just that I didn't want someone to control me and harm my family if there was a fire in the backyard, so I let go of my little thoughts.

It's definitely not that I'm afraid of being beaten by my mother-in-law so that my nose will be bruised and my face will be swollen when I go out to see people.

As for subordinates sending beauties to their bosses, unless you can be sure that your boss likes this, they will question what you mean by this, are you trying to pry into his news?

Sigh... Fortunately, he stood in the right position from the beginning and was unswerving. In addition, Emperor Yan was not so narrow-minded towards his subordinates. Otherwise, knowing that Emperor Yan had been deceived by beauty traps, he might have been... Can't get better.

Emperor Yan quickly put away the trace of emotion he showed, and handed the person waiting on the side a memorial full of names and asked him to deliver it to Du Shilang.

Du Shilang took it, opened it, and saw several names circled in red pen at a glance.

Those were his ex-son-in-law and ex-in-laws!

He was startled and looked anxious, "Your Majesty, this is..."

Emperor Yan: "Han Wenjin, one of Lao Qi's advisers, has a good mind and has given him many good ideas. Unfortunately, he is stupid and not of the same mind as him."

The son and the seventh child, and the father and the second child, whether they simply wanted to seek refuge with each other or something else, ended up being that the whole family was implicated by their father, exiled to the border and became criminals.

Du Shilang anxiously explained: "Your Majesty, I really don't know about this matter..."

Emperor Yan raised his hand to stop him: "I know, otherwise I wouldn't show you this list."

"The people on this list are all Lao Qi's people. Nearly half of the people in this court are his people. What you have to do is to block these people."

It is more convenient to use a minister of civil affairs who is loyal to oneself rather than a neutral minister of civil affairs.

Emperor Yan took out another memorial and handed it directly to Du Shilang below. Du Shilang quickly stepped forward and took it respectfully.

Emperor Yan: "These people, find a way to arrange them in appropriate places, and replace those people when necessary."

Mr. Du: "Yes."

He opened the memorial, took a look at it, memorized the list in his mind, and then closed the memorial.

It turns out that His Majesty has long thought about replacing the old ministers in the court or other princes...

……

After half a month, Mei Qianghua changed her image and sent out the various "small reports" she had compiled.

In the past half month, Mei Qianghua's favorite thing to do was to wander around the city, and then watch Han Yao's family appear in various corners of Jade City that needed repairs, shivering from the cold, and from time to time, they would suffer from side effects. I took the whip given by the officer and relived the hardships I suffered on the way to exile. Although it was not as good as it was, it was still very miserable and very satisfying!

It's money well spent!

Han Wenjin had a cold face. He didn't understand. Logically speaking, these things were not their turn, but for some reason, during this period, all this dirty work fell on their family members.

As for the other members of the Han family, they didn’t know if they were rebelling against each other, but none of them could even scream!

Thinking of this, he felt so hateful that he hit the ground with the tool in his hand. As a result, the ground was frozen too hard. Not only was his hand numb from the shock, but the tool also had a hole in it.

"Snapped!"

"what!"

Han Wenjin covered his arm that had been struck by the whip and screamed in pain, clenching his back teeth. He did not dare to look at the officer who whipped him, for fear that he would not be able to hide the hatred in his eyes and would be beaten again.

"Hurry up and work! What are you waiting for!" The servant waved his whip impatiently.

Standing outdoors in this damn weather, even people wearing fur coats would be freezing. If they weren't afraid that the heavy snow would intensify the damage to the building, they wouldn't still be outside supervising in such a cold weather.

"If you want to fucking delay me from going on duty, let's see how I deal with you!"

……

Mei Qianghua put away the telescope, hummed a tune, took the pear juice on the table and drank it in one gulp, feeling very happy.

Sure enough, it feels good to see evil people suffering.

In Yucheng City, apart from the trade area, the most profitable place is Fengyue Street. However, the buildings in the trade area are not as dense as Fengyue Street. Now that the New Year is about to close, it is not as lively as Fengyue Street with people coming and going.

And Fengyue Street is also the money bag of all officials in Yucheng. Except for military defense, any building can be damaged, except Fengyue Street.

The information here is also really well-informed, and many of her "small reports" were collected here.

For more than half a year, Mei Qianghua has met many important generals and officials in Yucheng from a distance. How should I put it, they are much more upright than she imagined.

Externally, to defend against the enemy, internally, as long as the people of Yucheng honestly do not commit crimes or commit crimes, the generals, officials, and soldiers will not bully them, and they will even occasionally be seen reaching out to help the people.

Mei Qianghua asked the ordinary people in the local area, and they all had a very good impression of the generals, officials, and soldiers in Yucheng.

Of course, for the foreign businessmen who come here, they really love and hate the generals, officials and soldiers of Yucheng.

Love means that the generals, officers and soldiers here will not maliciously exploit them, and will also protect their personal safety.

I hate that the generals, officials and soldiers here would really step on their bottom line and accept bribes openly! The kind that doesn’t hide it!

But merchants like Mei Qianghua are probably their favorite.

You spend your money wherever you make it, and you don't take any money home.

At least 50% of the money spent in Jade City will go to them. There is no way, who makes the most profitable shop here either opened by them or related to them.
