MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 90 vicious

When Qin Wenzheng and Song Mei came out of Dali Temple, the sky was already low.

On the carriage back to the house, Qin Wenzheng frowned and his face was ugly. Song Mei was anxious and uneasy in her heart. She looked at Qin Wenzheng with her eyes closed from time to time, but until she got to the door of Qin Xiangfu, Qin Wenzheng didn't raise her eyes to cast a glance at Song Mei, and the two of them were speechless all the way.

Qin Xiangfu, the main hall.

Qin Wen is sitting on the head, and the tea on the table next to him has been changed for two, but he has not taken a sip.

Qin Wenzheng had gone from being shocked when he first learned about these bad things to now forcing himself to calm down and sort out his thoughts.

The most urgent task is not to be held accountable, but what to do to minimize the impact of this on one's career.

Stockpiling grain to be sold at a high price can be a big or small crime. However, due to difficulties such as floods, grain shortages, and obstruction of water transportation at the same time this year, the problem of grain storage has risen to more than one level.

The sage ordered Dali Temple to crack down on grain merchants. One is to extract grain from the pockets of wealthy households at the least cost, and the other is to find a breakthrough in coping with this series of famines.

And these grain merchants who are hoarding and trying to make a fortune in the country are the first to be taken out for surgery.

Of course, this method is also very popular. After all, people who hate the rich still account for the majority in the world, and there are very few rich businessmen who do not stock up on food, but the degree varies.

When the wealthy households were confiscated their grain and were investigated and punished severely, it also diverted everyone's anxiety about the famine to a certain extent. It can be said that it served several birds with one stone.

Qin Wenzheng felt a little embarrassed that he himself had changed from a cold-eyed bystander to a performer on stage. Even if he doesn't anger Longyan this time, he will become the laughing stock of his colleagues.

The heart of the saint is unpredictable, and the severity of this matter has not yet been determined.

And Song Mei twisted the veil nervously, and kept saying words in her mind. After a while, Wen Zheng asked about this matter, how to say it so that she could take it off.

The two of them sat silently in the hall.

------

After a stick of incense, Qin Wenzheng looked at Song Mei with a cold tone.

"The shop was mortgaged, what happened? The fourth uncle went to Jiangnan to buy grain, what happened?"

Hearing this, Song Mei raised her head, and two lines of clear tears fell on her face instantly. Song Mei held up the handkerchief and tried the tears lightly. There was a cry in her voice, and the words were full of grievances and sorrows.

"Master Xiang, how would the concubine know about these things? The shop Zhuangzi has always left the fourth uncle to take care of it. Master Xiang, you know that the concubine is a weak woman who has no power to tie the chicken, and usually Read books, write and write. Besides, my concubine is dragging this sickly crooked body, and she has no energy to manage those business matters. "

Song Mei saw that Qin Wenzheng still had a cold face, no expression on his face, no bottom in his heart, sour eyes, and a few strings of tears rolled down.

"It's all my fault that I'm too weak to stare at the fourth uncle in person. When I was pregnant with Ming'er..."

"Okay." Qin Wenzheng interrupted Song Mei's crying impatiently, and then continued to talk about his words.

At this moment, Qin Wenzheng was very irritable, but he was especially sober. When Song Mei almost stopped sobbing, Qin Wenzheng said coldly:

"I don't care whether you really don't know about these things, or you don't know about them. It's already happened, and it doesn't make any sense."

Song Mei was surprised that Wen Zheng had said such cold words to her, but now it doesn't work to lift Ming'er out?

"Master Xiang..."

Qin Wenzheng didn't have the energy to worry about Song Mei's mood at the moment, and continued to say:

"Remember, no matter who asks you in the future, you can only insist that you don't know about the fourth uncle's purchase of grain, and you must not implicate the Prime Minister's mansion because of this, understand?"

Song Mei's face froze, Wen Zheng is this, don't you believe her?

Qin Wenzheng didn't wait for Song Mei to answer, and continued:

"There are two paths to take now."

"One, you categorically deny that you gave the fourth uncle the right to mortgage the shop Zhuangzi, then the fourth uncle is considered to have defrauded you and Yu Qingfeng at the same time. The fourth uncle has two more charges, and you are taken out."

"But the fourth uncle has been working for the Prime Minister's mansion all these years, and those shops will still be closed. As for whether they will be able to return, it is unknown."

"Second, you admit that you have entrusted the fourth uncle to have the right to mortgage the shop, but it can only be used for business turnover. You don't know that the fourth uncle mortgaged privately and ran away with the money. As for what the fourth uncle did with the money, you have nothing to do with it. Not knowing."

"And if we don't repay the money borrowed from Yu Qingfeng, we will let Yu Qingfeng take the shop Zhuangzi away."

"Doing this will almost cut off the connection between the fourth uncle and the prime minister's mansion, and it will also best preserve the prime minister's mansion. But the shop Zhuangzi that was taken away by Yu Qingfeng will never come back."

This is what Qin Wenzheng said just before he left the Dali Temple, and Peng Du, the head of the Dali Temple, pulled him aside and said it. From Peng Du's point of view, he could temporarily give Qin Wenzheng an idea.

Qin Wenzheng has almost decided to adopt the second method in his heart. The strong man breaks his wrist and has money. At least he can keep his official position.

Song Mei never knew that this matter would be so serious. She originally planned to make a lot of money, but now that the fourth uncle will not be able to come back, the shop Zhuangzi may not be able to come back either.

------

Song Mei lowered her head and said nothing. Wenzheng should have made a decision in her heart, instead of letting her make a choice, but she suddenly thought of something, raised her head suddenly, and hurriedly said:

"Master Xiang, Nian Nian's wedding date is approaching. On the dowry list for Nian Nian that was handed to He Fu before, there are about 20 shops, so I have to get it back."

Qin Wenzheng became furious as soon as he heard Qin Nian's name. He didn't hear other people talking about it these days. Qin Nian lost her virginity before marriage. Now He Xiao is considered to be Qin Nian's husband. In the past, but Qin Nian insisted on going to Yangzhou with Song Mei, and miscarried on the street, which was well known to everyone.

Qin Wenzheng has been cautious for half his life, and these bad things have made him wonder if he has used up all his luck.

"You even mentioned your good daughter to me. How did you teach her on weekdays, and you lost all the face of the Xiangfu!" Qin Wen's face was ashen, trying his best to suppress his anger.

Song Mei began to sob and sob again.

"Master Xiang, Nian Nian is our daughter after all. You can't ignore her. When we marry our daughter for the first time, we can't let others see the joke, Master Xiang..."

Qin Wenzheng thought of his two daughters, one Qin Nian ruined the family, and the other Qin Yan was ruthless, all of which were calculated on her father's head. But because he drank too quickly, he was choked by the tea and coughed and his eyes turned red.

But Song Mei, who was always considerate to Qin Wenzheng, didn't get up to care about her master. At this moment, she only thought about her shop and her money.

When Qin Wenzheng's cough subsided, Song Mei tentatively spoke to Qin Wenzheng:

"Master Xiang, why don't you go to Qin Yan to discuss and ask her to return the shop to us."

Qin Wenzheng's anger came up again, and asked him to go to Qin Yan to discuss?

Today outside the government office of the Ministry of Housing, Wang Xian, the left minister, also suggested that he should go to Qin Yan to discuss. Or in other words, go to Qin Yan?

Qin Wenzheng was burning with anger, his chest heaving violently, he had no doubt that if he continued like this, sooner or later he would suffer a heart attack to death.

Song Mei was about to speak again to persuade his master, but Qin Wenzheng gasped slightly:

"Some time ago, Wen Luo, the owner of Wen's business, was targeted everywhere in the shopping mall, and the person behind it was Qin Yan."

Song Mei's eyes widened in disbelief. Qin Yan?

Qin Wenzheng sighed deeply,

"Starting from the Wen's firm besieging us, to the fourth uncle mortgaged the shop to Yu Qingfeng, and even to the current fourth uncle going to Jiangnan to collect grain, these piles of things are probably all Qin Yan's handwriting."

"She has been in the game for so long, will she easily let go of the shop Zhuangzi back to us?"

Qin Wenzheng had some conjectures in his heart at this moment, Qin Yan's actions should be because those were the dowries brought by her mother Shen Shiying.

Shen Shiying...If Shen Shiying was still there, it wouldn't be like this now...

Qin Wenzheng twitched his lips. When Shen Shiying was here, he never worried about money. If she was still there, how could he be in such a predicament.

Do you really want him to be a father and beg for his daughter?

Qin Wenzheng looked at Song Mei, who was in a state of despair, and swallowed the words before he spoke. His first reaction was to think of Shen Shiying again.

Shen Shiying never showed such a dejected expression, her beautiful face was always bright and lively. Shen Shiying is not an ordinary weak woman. She is good at actively solving problems and bringing strength to the people around her, instead of losing her mind when she is in trouble and only crying.

Qin Wenzheng didn't want to look at Song Mei's dejected face again, so he frowned and said:

"Use the money from the warehouse, or sell some antique calligraphy and paintings, buy some similar shops according to the dowry list, and add them to Qin Nian."

Hearing this, Song Mei, who was hanging his head, froze, but he maintained this posture and did not respond.

Qin Wenzheng noticed that Song Mei's reaction was a bit wrong, he narrowed his eyes and asked Song Mei:

"what happened?"

Song Mei swallowed, holding the wrinkled silk handkerchief in his hand, and finally looked up at Qin Wenzheng.

"Apart from Xiangye's salary, the mansion has been without income for a long time. It is all supported by the previous family, and there is no money to buy a shop."

"Before the business was besieged by the Wen family, and the Wen family fought a price war with great fanfare. The fourth uncle couldn't deal with it, so he could only throw money along, but the funds in the business would soon be unable to turn around."

"The fourth uncle came to me and told me about the situation. After so many years of business, I can't say no to it. I can only send money to the fourth uncle one after another, and also sell some antiques in the warehouse. In the end, it was just a drop in the bucket, and the business went from bad to worse..."

Qin Wenzheng raised his hand to stop Song Mei from continuing.

Qin Wenzheng closed his eyes and slumped to the back of the chair, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He understands better than anyone how important money is to the officialdom. Even in his position, he cannot escape his reliance on money.

It seems that Zhaoren County Master's Mansion, he must go there in person.

------

That night, in Qin Xiangfu, Qin Nian's boudoir, there were several smashing sounds of cups and plates.

Qin Nian was hit by a carriage on the street in Yangzhou. After the miscarriage, rumors about her spread quickly in Yangzhou City. Song Mei originally asked Qin Nian to return to Beijing after sitting in Yangzhou, but Qin Nian couldn't stand the occasional gossip, and immediately decided to let Song Mei bring her back.

Unexpectedly, the rumors also spread back to Shangjing.

Since the first day of returning to Beijing, Qin Nian has not stepped out of the room again.

Fang Cai's mother came over and told Qin Nian that what happened in the mansion, Qin Nian was shocked, lamented, and thankful.

What shocked her was that Qin Yan had done so many things to the prime minister's mansion, and now even Qin Nian's own dowry was lost because of Qin Yan.

At this time, Qin Nian realized that what Qin Yan said to her when she was in Yangzhou,

"This life is still very long, and I have to experience a lot of interesting things..." What does it mean.

Qin Yan was so vicious that he didn't show any affection.

What Qin Nian lamented was that he still had to marry the murderer who almost killed him.

On the city street of Yangzhou that day, He Xiao obviously did it on purpose. He hoped that if he died, he could cancel the marriage that he did not want.

Is that what your marriage is like?

And Qin Nian is very fortunate. If his mother said that, the future life in the house will be difficult, and even his father may be implicated.

Then, because of his marriage, he can be considered to have escaped a disaster?
