Chapter 100 You have to pay me, I am the consort! (Please subscribe!!)
"I am the censor Zhongcheng Tujie, and I have been ordered to inspect Yong'an Mansion. You two, please get out of my way!"
"If you delay my affairs, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Tu Jie raised his head slightly and said proudly.
Hearing this, the two government officials looked at each other and then laughed.
"Haha! There are too many people who want to enter the government office to meet the prefect, and there are also not a few who pretend to be various officials to get in!"
"That's right, some time ago there was a guy who claimed to be a censor, but he turned out to be an enemy spy!"
"You are also a royal censor, maybe you are also an enemy spy!"
"Even if you are really the censor, you have to follow the rules of Yong'an Mansion when you arrive!"
Seeing that self-destruction of his identity didn't work, Tu Jie was very angry and stared at the two government officials in front of him, "You seriously won't let me?"
"I won't let you!"
"No one can get in without giving me money!"
The two government officials didn't bother to talk to the Turks anymore, and directly raised the killing sticks in their hands. The meaning was very obvious. If you dare to go further today, you will immediately serve with sticks.
At this moment, a man dressed as a businessman appeared in front of the government office.
Tu Jie and the businessman looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
"hair"
"Master Tu, it's me, Mao Da!" Mao Xiang quickly stepped forward and held Tu Jie's hand to prevent him from calling out his real name. "You are not in the capital, why are you here in Yong'an Mansion?"
"Um." Tu Jie was a little confused as to why Mao Xiang called himself Mao Da. However, Jin Yiwei was in a special situation and probably didn't want to expose his identity. After thinking about this, Tu Jie did not expose Mao Xiang. "Boss Mao, it's been a long time!"
"Boss Mao, do you know him?" the yamen servant asked curiously.
"This is indeed an adult from the capital." Mao Xiang nodded. Since Tu Jie did not expose his identity, he would also help him.
"You are really an adult." The yamen servant was a little surprised, then shook his head, "But you still have to pay to get in."
"You" are very angry.
Mao Xiang smiled and said: "Master Tu, this is the rule of Yong'an Mansion. If you want to see the chief official, you must pay the entrance fee. The price is also clearly marked. The county magistrate is 1000 taels, the prefect is 2000 taels, even"
"If you want to enter the government office, you'd better pay the money honestly."
Tu Jie shook his head and said proudly: "I am the censor Zhongcheng who specializes in investigating illegal activities by officials. Entry fees are a bad habit. This trend cannot be increased! If you don't pay, you will be beaten to death!"
Seeing Tu Jie's persistence, he stopped talking and said to the two government officials, "I have something to discuss with the prefect."
The two yamen servants didn't say much, and simply stepped aside to allow Mao Xiang to enter the yamen.
See this situation.
Tu Jie's subordinate Ah Fu couldn't help but ask: "Why do you let him in and not let our master in? You are deliberately making things difficult!"
"Nonsense! Boss Mao is the fried chicken king of our Yong'an Prefecture. The fried chicken restaurants and grilled fish restaurants he opened are all listed on the stock exchange. Can you compare them?" The Yamen servant looked at Tu Jie. His eyes were filled with contempt.
"And Boss Mao has already paid the entry fee, so he can naturally enter the government office directly."
"Do you have any money? If not, don't stand here!"
Tu Jie reacted quickly when he heard what the yamen said. He quickly grasped an important point, which was that "the fried chicken restaurant and grilled fish restaurant run by Mao Xiang were listed on the stock exchange market."
Regarding the "stock trading market", Prime Minister Hu Weiyong gave him a key explanation. Since Mao Xiang is involved, then His Majesty the Emperor must also be involved. As expected, it is the same as what Prime Minister Hu had guessed!
When Mao Xiang entered the government office, he was familiar with the roads. The government servants and officials walking around all took the initiative to say hello to Mao Xiang.
Soon we arrived at the "castle" in the back hall.
The officer on duty at the gate of the "castle" immediately pulled up the stone gate.
"Thank you very much."
Mao Xiang cupped his hands and said with a smile.
After entering the "castle", Mao Xiang continued walking inside until he came to a small courtyard filled with birds and flowers, and then he saw Ouyang Lun's figure.
At this moment, Ouyang Lun was lying on the rocking chair, basking in the morning sun, feeling extremely comfortable.
"Hey, isn't this our grilled fish and grilled chicken double ingredient king?"
"If you don't open branches everywhere, how can you have time to come to my place today?"
Ouyang Lun was still very familiar with Mao Da. He did business with Lao Zhu (Uncle Ma) in Kaiping County for the first two years, and finally stayed with him to learn how to cook grilled fish. From then on, the gears of fate began to turn.
Although this Mao Da's talent in making things is simply a mess, fortunately, he is flexible and good at management, so he is allowed to make the fried chicken restaurant and grilled fish restaurant bigger and stronger, and then list them on the stock exchange, which also makes Ouyang Lun made almost a million.
Mao Xiang rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Isn't this a financial problem when opening a branch? I want to ask the prefect to help solve it."
Ouyang Lun waved his hand, "Don't bother me with such trivial matters. You go to Kaiping Silver Cabinet to find Di Hu. He will handle it. However, I have to remind you that expansion is a good thing, but you cannot expand blindly. If you don't want it, When you are wrestling, you have to take every step steadily."
"Understood." Ouyang Lun nodded, somersaulting?How can it be possible to fall into a trap? Now that the situation is great, we must expand vigorously!
"Master Magistrate, I just saw Yushi Zhongcheng Tujie at the gate of the government office!"
Uh-huh! ?
Ouyang Lun was obviously stunned for a moment. Isn't Tujie, the imperial censor, a royal official?Why did he come to this remote place like his?
"Are you sure it's really him?"
"You can still admit your mistake!" Mao Xiang muttered: "Tu Jie was blocked outside by your government officials and couldn't get in at all. Now he is cursing at the door!"
Ouyang Lun was a little surprised, "Mao Da, I didn't expect you to recognize Yushi Zhongcheng Tujie!"
Mao Xiang came to his senses and quickly explained with a smile: "My master has some connections in the capital. I have met the Tujie Censor several times with my master."
Hearing this, Ouyang Lun no longer doubted Tu Jie's authenticity.
Ouyang Lun was no stranger to Tu Jie, the censor Zhongcheng of the Ming Dynasty. Tu Jie, the censor Zhongcheng of the Ming Dynasty, failed to make a rebellion with Hu Weiyong. Later, because he catered to the emperor's wishes, he accused Hu Weiyong of treason and was eventually killed by the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. He was a typical power villain. The core figure in the Hu Weiyong case, one of the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty.
From the current point of view, this Tujie is now a die-hard political ally of Hu Weiyong. It is already the 14th year of Hongwu. Logically speaking, Hu Weiyong should have been captured long ago. Perhaps due to the butterfly effect, this has not happened yet.
But with the ambitions of people like Hu Weiyong and Tu Jie, rebellion or something is just a matter of time.
When he first traveled through time, he was recruited by Hu Weiyong, but at that time he knew very well what would happen to Hu Weiyong, so there was no future for him following Hu Weiyong, so he decisively chose to run to Kaiping County to be the magistrate, avoiding all politics in the capital. swirl.
Now that Yushi Zhongcheng Tujie has come to Yong'an Mansion, there is probably Hu Weiyong's intention in it.
Ouyang Lun suddenly had an idea, "Hey, dear, Hu Weiyong probably didn't let this Tu Jie win over me!"
Hu Weiyong was extremely keen on forming cliques for personal gain and wanted to win over all officials to his side to form a huge interest group. He felt that Zhu Yuanzhang would not dare to touch him easily.
madness!
Hu Weiyong completely underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang's determination and the eyes of others, Hu Weiyong is now the powerful Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, but to Ouyang Lun, this Hu Weiyong is just a big grasshopper who can't jump around for a few days!
Joining Hu Weiyong’s camp at this time is no less than joining the National Army in 49!
However, it is not easy to completely offend Hu Weiyong in this situation. My current thoughts are on running Yong'an Mansion and overseas trade. I don't have much preparation for the party and government in the court. Once I am targeted by Hu Weiyong's faction, troubles will continue one after another. Come.
You must know that these people are capable of doing bad things.
Ouyang Lun couldn't help but feel a little big-headed. After thinking for a moment, he decided to meet him, "Zhou Bao."
"master."
"Go and call Wu Tongzhi, Zhao Qiancheng, and Zhou Zhixian, and tell them that the imperial censor has arrived. Come and see them all!"
"Go through the back door."
"Yes, sir." Zhou Bao agreed and quickly raised it.
Seeing Ouyang Lun's arrangement, Mao Xiang secretly praised him. Ouyang Lun called all the officials from the government office. Then Tu Jie's meeting with Ouyang Lun became very official. No one dared to gossip. This matter finally reached His Majesty's ears. It is also clear and obvious.
Wonderful!
"Since the prefect has a guest later, I won't disturb you any more! Excuse me!"
Mao Xiang also understands that the purpose of his coming here is to borrow money. Now that the problem of borrowing money has been solved, it is not easy for him to stay here in his current status. As for Ouyang Lun and a group of officials, he will talk to Tu Jie later. What, he has a way to know.
"Ah."
Ouyang Lun nodded and Mao Xiang left.
Tu Jie waited outside for a long time, but he didn't see Ouyang Lun asking anyone to release his gold. He finally couldn't wait any longer. Mao Xiang was the emperor's confidant, so he didn't know what he was discussing with Ouyang Lun. !
If you wait a little longer outside, the situation will become even more unfavorable.
"Afu, give me the money!"
"Master, this?"
"I asked you to give me money!"
"Yes, sir!" Ah Fu quickly handed the gold bars in the package to the yamen servant.
The yamen servant collected the gold bars and said with a smile: "That's right! If you had given it earlier, you wouldn't have waited here for so long. I have already registered it for you, right? Censor Zhongcheng Tujie, right?" No need to give any more.”
"Please come in!"
Tu Jie was heartbroken, this was 2000 taels!
At this time, Mao Xiang walked out of the government office and said, "Master Tu, the prefect has agreed to see you. Come in quickly!"
"Eh? You've already paid the entrance fee, right? In fact, you don't have to pay it with the consent of the prefect, but if you have already paid it, it is non-refundable."
"The prefect is very happy that Lord Tu can come to Yong'an Mansion, so he specially waited inside!"
"I won't disturb the conversation between the two adults, take my leave!"
“If you have time, you can come to Royal Grilled Fish and eat grilled fish, I’ll give you a discount!”
After saying that, Mao Xiang left the government office.
Tu Jie's face twitched, you Mao Xiang, you didn't come out early or late, but you didn't come out until I paid the money. You obviously did it on purpose!
"You, the prefect, have said that you will let us in. Do we have to return these 2000 taels to us?"
Ah Fu said quickly.
"That's not possible. If the magistrate ordered us to arrive before you pay, we will naturally not take your money. But now that the money has been given to us, how can we give it back!"
The yamen servant quickly put away the gold bars.
"You guys go in quickly and don't linger here."
"You guys." Ah Fu stomped his feet angrily.
Tu Jie grabbed Ah Fu and said, "Don't argue with them. When I see Ouyang Lun, I will definitely ask him for an explanation!"
"If you offend my master, you are finished!"
Ah Fu said harsh words, and then he and Tu Jie entered the government office together.
Not long after Tu Jie entered the government office, Ouyang Lun appeared. Seeing Tu Jie, Ouyang Lun quickly took two steps and said with a smile: "Oh, I have met Mr. Tu, the censor Zhongcheng!"
"I just heard that you came to Yong'an Mansion. I immediately ran to greet you."
"Please forgive me, Master Tu!"
Seeing Ouyang Lun's smiling face, Tu Jie couldn't be happier.
"Ouyang Lun, my master is the second-rank imperial censor Zhongcheng. You are just a fourth-rank magistrate. When a lower official sees a superior official, why don't you bow to him!" Ah Fu scolded.
When Ah Fu scolded Ouyang Lun, Tu Jie did not speak, but stood calmly. It was obvious that what Ah Fu wanted to say was what he wanted to say.
The smile on Ouyang Lun's face disappeared and he said calmly: "Master Tu, in addition to being the prefect of Yong'an Prefecture, I am also the consort of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who marries a princess will be named Consort Commander, from the first rank."
"If you don't bow to me when you see me, what are you waiting for?"
"Master Tu, as the censor Zhongcheng, if an official does not follow the etiquette and law, what crime should you be guilty of?!"
As soon as these words came out, Tu Jie's face immediately turned the color of pig's liver, and in the end he could only hold up his hands and say: "I'm here to pay my respects to my consort!"
"Ah."
Ouyang Lun nodded slowly, "Not bad, just the voice is a little quieter."
Then he looked at Ah Fu, who was still in a dazed state, and said in a deep voice: "Master Tu, your subordinates are arrogant. They are just domestic slaves, but they dare to contradict the prince-in-law of the court. I don't care, but if this matter gets spread, What’s bad is the reputation of the Ming royal family. The majestic Prince Consort of the Ming Dynasty was actually scolded by a family of slaves. This matter finally reached His Majesty’s ears. I don’t know how His Majesty will deal with it and how he will treat Master Tu.”
"I heard that there was a censor who contradicted His Majesty the Emperor, and was eventually put into a sack by His Majesty the Emperor. Finally, he was beaten to death in front of all the censors at the Censorship Station. I don't know if you will, Mr. Tu. Will it end like this?"
hiss--
When Tu Jie heard this, he immediately took a breath!
He secretly thought that Ouyang Lun was indeed as cunning as the legend said, and with just a few words he was thrown into chaos and put into a passive state.
"Master, he is obviously..."
Ah Fu was about to speak.
Snapped!
The crisp sound of slaps resounded through the entire government office.
"You bastard, it seems that I am too tolerant of you on weekdays! You are so ignorant of importance and etiquette!"
Tu Jie said in a deep voice: "Please forgive me, Prince Consort, because my discipline is not good."
