Clever

Cao Jiajia's fingers almost poked the faces of the Yang Yuqing sisters. Duanmu Qiao strode from outside and kicked the person over with one kick.

The whole court was in chaos at this moment. Cao Jiajia came out today and brought a lot of people. She was preparing to fight. Of course, she had to bring more people.

So when she fell down, the maids and servants at home rushed up, trying to help the person up one by one.

Yang Yuqing felt a little irritating when she saw these piles together. The maids and servants in this family didn’t look very smart?

"Everything is for the old woman. How can you get up like this, the young lady?"

Yang Yuqing was watching the fun and heard the voice of an old woman, which came from the crowd.

"Where did the rude boy dare to attack our eldest lady? I think you are impatient with living. Is it a bit bad for Lord Tang to watch others commit crimes against my eldest lady like this?" The old woman could only put pressure on Lord Tang when she saw the people opposite him.

After all, Lord Tang’s father-in-law was under Prime Minister Cao’s hands. Whether it was for his father-in-law’s official position or for himself, he could not watch the Prime Minister bully his lady in his court and remain indifferent.

Lord Tang did not dare to offend Prime Minister Cao, nor did he dare to offend General Pingbei. He did not dare to offend this person who had just come in. When he saw the face of the young man who was hitting someone, he rolled and crawled towards this side in his position.

"I have seen the fifteenth prince. I just had no eyes. I would like to forgive the crime." Lord Tang felt that the most unlucky thing in his life might be today.

The people from the Prime Minister's Mansion heard the title of Lord Tang and knelt down on the ground: "Please forgive the fifteenth prince, please forgive the crime, please forgive the crime..."

"Jingzhaoyin, please take out the booklet of the registered shop! I want to see what happened to this shop?" Duanmu Qiao was quite clear about the laws of the Qin Dynasty, so after coming here to meet the palace, he immediately proposed to ask his elder brother to solve the problem of the shop first. After all, the stores that were taken back to the state will be sold soon. Since they have a deed, they have to go and register first. The registered shops will not be sold again.

At that time, three of the six shops wrote the names of their young daughter-in-law, saying that they would be treated as dowry in the future. One of the other three wrote the name of their mother-in-law, and the other two wrote the name of their sister-in-law. These two also wanted to be treated as dowry for their sister-in-law.

Lord Tang still remembers this matter deeply. After all, no one’s shop has ever distributed it like this. There is no man in the family, and it is all given to the girls and mothers at home.

When he saw General Pingbei today, he really didn't recognize anyone. After all, he came to register the shop that day and did not say that he was General Pingbei, but just reported his name and deed.

If he hadn't seen the gold medal representing identity today, he wouldn't have imagined that a general looked like a scholar, not like a man who was fighting on the battlefield at all.

The most important thing now is how to solve the problem in front of him? He can't afford to offend both sides, but it won't work if he doesn't. If he gets into the emperor, his family will not be able to get it well.

The clerk next to him felt a little sad when he heard that the fifteenth prince was about to read the registration book. There were many shops in Kyoto in the past two years, and after the house was confiscated, they were all received here. Lord Tang may not know how many of them were sold by his brother-in-law, but he knew it. After all, he had always recorded this book, regardless of the in and out.

But he really didn't know what happened this time. After all, when General Pingbei came to register, he had already recorded the shops and changed all the contracts. He really didn't know how Lord Tang's brother-in-law got those old house deeds?

However, Lord Tang cannot solve this problem. Isn’t he still his father-in-law? Although he is only a third-rank, his speaking weight will be heavier than Lord Tang.

The clerk trembledly to the fifteenth prince, Duanmu Qiao opened page by page, checking it one by one, and over the past three years, at least two or three hundred shops in the capital and surrounding areas had to be taken back.

But after rummaging over and over, there are only dozens of remote locations left. Some of them are still worthless shops in the alleys, and all the others have been sold, but the silver records are not correct at all.

"The shopkeeper of the Cao family, tell me how much did your eldest lady buy the shop?" Duanmu Qiao stared at the shopkeeper who was the first to be brought over by his brother-in-law.

"Four, four thousand taels of silver, my eldest lady bought three, and the price was the same." The shopkeeper was a little stuttering and could not answer, because he had already told the General Pingbei in the morning.

"A shop is 4,000 taels, and the records are 3,000 taels, and none of them exceed 800 taels. As a result, one of the shops I bought outside costs several thousand taels. Where did the money go?" Duanmu Qiao looked through it carefully and looked carefully. No wonder his brother said that the treasury had no money and had to rely on raiding his house to fill the treasury.

With these borers, where can the national treasury be filled? This is only a small part of the Zhuangzi fields outside Kyoto account for a much larger proportion than the shops around Kyoto and the surrounding shops.

However, the treasury has no money, so it seems that he can't blame his brother. If you want to blame, they blame their father who has a prodigal father. Their brothers took over. This quaintly poor Qin State has to work hard and search the house to make money.

Suddenly I felt that my brothers were a little pitiful, so poor!

This is the first time Yang Yuling has seen this child, and she feels that she is quite stylish.

"In the main gate of the palace, only one shop sells for 300 taels of silver? Lord Tang, I remember that I spent 10,000 taels to buy a store in the main gate of the palace. You only wrote 300 taels of rice? Three hundred taels? How did you continue to write?" Duanmu Qiao was almost angry at the amount above. He really didn't expect that Lord Tang was so greedy.

There were only 300 taels of silver written in the shop here, and there were only 9700 taels of silver in the middle, and a total of 9700 taels of silver...

Lord Tang was lying on the ground and shivering. He had just heard the fifteenth prince say that he bought 10,000 taels in one store, and he was shaking even more violently. He took out this batch of 10,000 taels to buy the 10,000 taels of shops himself.

Because they were all the best shops on the most prosperous streets in Kyoto, he dared to bid for 10,000 taels, so he was so happy that he could not die. Duanmu Qiao, who was still the second son of the loyal and courageous Hou, bought two.

His brother-in-law was not the legitimate son of his father-in-law, but the concubine's son. The monthly money given to the mansion was not enough to spend, so there were more places to need money.
