Zheng Ke was also laughing, but he was even more ugly than crying.

With 120 million yuan, the Zheng family may not be able to easily spend such a large amount of money after accumulating generations of wealth.

This guy is obviously here to rob, and he is a huge number when he opens his mouth. In addition to the royal family, only the Zheng family can do it.

However, being able to give does not mean being willing to give in. Zheng Ke has begun to weigh the gains and losses in his heart. The crime of deceiving the king can be big or small. The question is whether anyone is prosecuted. The emperor is cowardly by nature, so if he is punished, he doesn't have to be afraid of anything. As long as Concubine Zheng is willing to mediate in the palace, nothing big will happen.

The one who really gave him a headache was the empress dowager. If the empress dowager pursued the matter and would really make trouble, the Zheng family's painstaking management would have to be wasted.

Zheng Ke looked at Chen Ao and said viciously: "Isn't the King of Pingxi joking?"

Chen Ao touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "I came here from afar. Does the Duke think that I am joking?"

Zheng Ke sneered, his eyes hesitated, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "This money... my Zheng family compensated!"

He really didn't dare to bet on the fortunes and lives of the entire Zheng family. If he was just Zheng Shuang, he would not be willing to take out even ten million yuan. However, it was related to deceiving the emperor. With Zheng Ke's cautious temperament, of course he did not dare to gamble.

Chen Ao clapped his hands and smiled and said, "It's great. I know that the Zheng family's wealth is billions of yuan and is the one who is the most willing to share His Majesty's worries. But when will the Duke of the State plan to pay the money for the chicken?"

No one had ever thought that Zheng Ke had such great courage. When he heard such a large number, even the spectators outside the door were shocked and could not help but think: "The King of Pingxi has a great appetite, and the Duke of Zheng has such great courage."

Zheng Ke said with a frown: "Can you postpone it for three months?"

"Three months?" Chen Ao couldn't help but frown and said, "When the Duke's money is raised, I'm afraid the daylily will be cold. Just think that I will suffer some loss. I will first move some of the money for disaster relief. After three months, I will wait for the Duke's approval letter." He said seriously, "The Duke is loyal to my Song Dynasty, and he has done his best to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. I am really ashamed of myself!"

Chen Ao continued loudly: "In order to commend the Zheng family's achievements in abandoning their small family and taking into account the overall situation, I will now ask the Ministry of Rites to be a big archway to send it to the Zheng family. Haha... I wrote the four words to relieve worries for the country. Of course, I have to write this character by myself, dye it into gold, and let everyone in the world know the great achievements of the Zheng family."

Zheng Ke snorted coldly and said, "If your highness is fine, I will see you off."

"Let's go!" Chen Aomimi smiled and said, "Although Duke Zheng is so noble, since he promised to invest 120 million yuan to buy a chicken, he always had to leave a certificate, haha... He is a businessman, is he talking about nothing, right?"

He actually took out a loan note as if he had already prepared it, and asked a captain to take the ink paste and walk to Zheng Ke. He spread the loan note, presented it with the ink paste box, pointed to the lower right corner and said, "You can just press it here."

Zheng Ke was silent for a moment, and finally pressed it with his finger dipped ink. The task was completed, Chen Ao said honestly: "The reputation of Duke Zheng will be spread throughout the world from today. I thanked Duke Guogong on behalf of tens of thousands of Taiyuan disaster victims."

Chen Ao bowed deeply, hugged his hand, carefully folded the bill and put it away, and then smiled and said, "The Duke of the State has always done good deeds without leaving a name. Today's great fanfare will definitely make the Duke of the State feel unhappy. Then the king will leave first, say goodbye, say goodbye..."

Haha, Chen Ao took the man away with him.

Zheng Ke snorted coldly and returned to the main hall.

"Super tea, everyone is dead?" Zheng Ke's voice roared.

The family members looked as if they were ashen, and they stood up in a hurry and started to be busy again. The master had never been so angry, and he lost 120 million yuan at once. No one would have a good face, let alone...

A few servants who identified Zheng Ke were already frightened. If they were not in a hurry and worried about their lives, who would have dared to involve their own head? Looking back now, they began to be scared again. The King of Pingxi was clearly a cheating person. From the beginning, they had not planned to arrest you and questioned you. They were just here to blackmail some money. However, they did not calm down and actually bit the master's head.

The previous person who identified Zheng Ke poured a cup of tea in fear and said carefully: "Master..."

Zheng Ke didn't say anything, picked up the tea and drank it. But as soon as he got in, he immediately spit out and cursed: "Dog thing, is it going to burn me to death?"

"Damn it, damn it..." The master knelt on the ground with a pale face.

Zheng Ke finally calmed down. He had never been so angry in his life. Who would have been unable to calm down when he was old. In fact, this is not his fault. If anyone encounters such a thing, it will be difficult for him to maintain the concentration of Mount Tai collapsed before his face.

Zheng Ke said slowly: "Teacher Zheng, how long have you been in the mansion?"

The head of the steward who was kneeling on the ground said aily: "It's been fifteen years since I said that to the master."

Zheng Ke smiled faintly and said, "Fifteen years, shortness is not short. From a chore to a head, my Zheng family has treated you badly?" He continued, "Your son is now walking in the caravan and has twenty coins of monthly money every month. Originally, if he did well, I wanted him to lead a team. In the future, not to mention promotion and wealth, I would always be able to make some money."

Zheng Ke spoke very slowly, and every word made Zheng Tai kneeling on the ground tremble slightly. Zheng Ke continued: "But it's different now. From now on, you can go to the woodshed to do things. Come and call his son back and send him to the farm in Huaizhou to raise horses."

"Old... Master..." Mr. Zheng rolled his Adam's apple, but he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

"Go out!" Zheng Ke said mercilessly.

"Yes, yes." Zheng Tai said nothing and left in shame.

Everyone avoided this hall, only Zheng Ke and Zheng Fu sat here, Zheng Fu did not go out, but he could hear the movements outside clearly. After drinking a sip of tea, he felt a little bit of energy, but less depressed, but he had a little bit of resentment. He said lightly: "Brother, you have always managed this family. I have been to business outside and I haven't stopped for a day. But there is a saying that I'm going to say today."

Zheng Ke lowered his head to drink tea, and his expression could not be seen.

Zheng Fu said: "We are brothers of a mother and my son, my son of Zheng Fu, can also be regarded as the eldest brother's son, right? Zheng Shuang is not good at doing well and causes trouble for our Zheng family, but I, Zheng Fu, only one only son and only one bloodline. If my eldest brother is pitiful, I should have given me 25 million guan to redeem Shuang'er. But..." A sneer appeared on his face and continued: "But the eldest brother would rather pay 120 million guan to buy 600 chickens than to take out a fraction to save Shuang'er, and he would watch him die without a burial place. My younger brother wants to ask, does my brother still have me in his heart?"

Zheng Ke blew the tea foam floating on the tea and said slowly: "Two-five million guan save Zheng Shuang, the one who offended the King of Jin. 120 million guan is to buy a peace for my Zheng family. Who can afford to deceive the emperor? If this matter is pursued, if someone instigates the censor to impeach, and there are people in the palace to respond, the whole Zheng family will be implicated. As my brother, I am considering the overall situation. One or two sons and two nephews are unworthy. If you can save it, you will naturally save it. But if you save it, you will have to implicate the Zheng family, so you can only cut off your arm."

Zheng Fu sneered: "What you said is high-sounding. The money you spent is for the overall situation. The fraction I want is to implicate the entire Zheng family. Brother, you have a good plan."

Zheng Ke sighed and said, "Second brother, you are tired, so you should go and rest first. You will have to raise 120 million yuan. These shops in Bianjing can sell them as much as possible. A batch of fur goods that have been stocked out of the pass recently will be taken away as soon as possible. Three months... It is not long, nor short. If you can't take it out, then the Chen surname is going to cause trouble again."

Zheng Ke stood up and said, "Your brother is going to Taiyuan, so I'll ask you for your affairs here."

Zheng Fu snorted coldly, still feeling resentful.

Zheng Ke shook his head, went from the hall, went to the bedside, called the head in, and said, "The second master is in Bianjing, I'm not at ease, please keep a close eye."

This matter is in line with one sentence.

Zheng Ke took a nap for a moment, and someone was calling out outside, saying that the carriages and horses were ready, and all the servants who went there were selected and asked the master to decide.

Zheng Ke was dressed neatly and came out slowly, saying, "Let's go now, and try to rest at the entrance of the lake tonight." After that, he stepped out on the snow.

At this moment, there were sounds of gongs, but dozens of people who looked like servants beat gongs and drums in front of them. The bustling people flocked to the back. In the middle, there were seven or eight strong men carrying a archway. Sure enough, they painted gold paint and wrote the words to relieve the country's worries. Chen Ao was wearing a python robe, riding horses and archways with a spirit of spirit, and then there were teams of servants who were also holding gongs. While beating, they shouted: "Mr. Zheng, Duke Zheng, invested 120 million yuan for disaster relief, and Master Zheng has been going on for generations."

When people along the way watched, they flocked to watch the fun. Someone whispered: "Didn't it mean that King Pingxi and Duke Zheng are incompatible? Why did they send him a archway today?"

"Who can take the rumors seriously? Look, King Pingxi gave the Duke of Zheng to Duke of Zheng and promoted the deeds of Duke of Zheng. His face was full of red light, as if he had become a groom at home."

"Ha, King Pingxi smiled so happily. If they had a rift, how could they laugh like this?"

The house was lively and there was a lot of discussion, but the middle door of the Zheng Mansion had to open. Zheng Ke took the people out first. Seeing the golden archway, it was particularly dazzling. Zheng Ke wanted to smile a little, but he couldn't smile anyway. 120 million yuan was exchanged for a archway. This archway was made of gold, and was painted with Wang Xizhi's running script and Gu Kaizhi's paintings were probably not worth a fraction of 120 million yuan.

At this time, Chen Ao beat the horse and flew out, and bowed to Zheng Fu with a smile amid the sounds of gongs and drums, saying, "Duke Zheng values ​​righteousness and neglects wealth, and is a model for merchants and relatives in the world. Today, the national crisis is imminent, and the people of Taiyuan are hungry. It is Duke Zheng who spends all his family's wealth and is willing to serve the court and share the worries of the people. Such righteousness can be demonstrated throughout the ages and is famous for the eternal period."

Zheng Ke just looked at Chen Ao coldly.

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Duke Zheng Guoji wants to say a few words?"

Zheng Ke couldn't say anything, but he had the intention to kill people.

Seeing that he was silent, Chen Ao couldn't help but smile and said, "Duke Zheng is so polite." Then he said, "Come on, erect this archway."

Dozens of servants brought shovels and shovels together, rushed into the villa, digging soil and tree archways. Fortunately, there were too many people, so it didn't take much time. In just one stick of incense, the archway was completed.

Chen Ao smiled and looked up at the archway, and said to Zheng Ke: "Duke, with this archway, no matter how many unethical things are done in the future, you will not be afraid of hurting your virtue... Ah... What did I say about this? Huh..." He embarrassedly turned his eyes to the dozen cars that were parked at the door, and said: "What? Duke Zheng is going to go far?"

Zheng Ke said lightly: "That's right."

Chen Ao couldn't help but smile and said, "You can't go to Taiyuan?"

Zheng Ke neither admits nor denies it.

Chen Ao sighed and said, "It just so happened that I will go to Taiyuan tomorrow, haha... I invite the Duke to drink at that time..." Then he said, "No, no, the Taiyuan disaster is urgent, where can you and I have the leisure to drink?"

Zheng Ke snorted coldly, not willing to mess with Shen Ao anymore, so he wanted to pass through the archway and go into the hall.

Chen Ao called him: "Let's wait!"

Zheng Ke looked back and couldn't help but pause. He was really scared by the word "slow".

Chen Ao smiled and said, "It's better for a detour in the country, as the underside of this archway cannot be surpassed."

Zheng Ke closed his eyes and said coldly: "Why is this?"

Chen Ao bowed to the palace city seriously and said, "I have reported to Your Majesty the righteous act of Zheng. Your Majesty is very happy. Therefore, the words on this archway are not written by this archway, but written by Your Majesty's imperial pen. The archway should know that under this archway, how can people enter and exit at will? Therefore, this archway suggests that the archway set up a greenhouse to cover the plaque and not let the imperial gifts be blown by the wind and rain. As for this archway, there are even a forbidden area, and all idle people can enter and exit?"

Of course, Zheng Ke was the idle people in Chen Ao's mouth. A good archway stood behind the middle gate and set up a shed, which was equivalent to blocking the middle gate and prohibiting people from entering and leaving. The Zheng family had to go in and out of the mansion in the future, but they were afraid they would have to climb over the wall.
