Chapter 220

Xu Jie sat there, avoiding the important words and saying that he had not leaked the secrets, but Zhang Hao didn't believe it. Xu Jie and the others were secretly doing things, and they would not easily find it. However, those civil officials understood those routines. They impeached Xu Jie now, which made Xu Jie very upset?

"Zhang Hao, you have to believe me. This matter is not as written in the impeachment memorial. I am not so brave yet!" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and started talking.

"Since it's not, what are you afraid of? However, if those officials still cannot ask for confessions and cannot find out actual evidence, it will be difficult to deal with. I guess not only will the emperor be eyeing you, but even the ministers below will be eyeing you, and they also want to come up,

Especially now, they already know that the emperor is dissatisfied with you, and it is not impossible to replace them all. If you cannot prove your innocence, it will be dangerous at that time. Therefore, you need to hurry up in this matter!" Zhang Hao reminded Xu Jie and said.

"We are already checking, but we are really checking, but there is no progress yet. However, I will also focus on this matter from tomorrow. We must find it out. If we don't find out, the emperor will not explain it at that time!" Xu Jie sat there and said worriedly.

"Well, it's good to know. If I were asked to investigate, things would probably not be that simple by then. At that time, I guess I can clean up half of the officials of the Ministry of Revenue!" Zhang Hao sat there, sneered and said.

"I know that the ministers are afraid that you will come to investigate now, but some officials hope that you will come to investigate, because once you come to investigate, the matter will be clear, and there will be many vacant positions in the court, and their chances of promotion will be greater.

But those officials, I don’t look down on them, they say better than anything else every day, but when it comes to doing things, they really can’t do it. Benevolence, righteousness and morality are on the lips, but they also do things about thieves and prostitutes. Although they are not corrupt, they don’t do anything.

If such officials come up, it will be a disaster for the people of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhang Hao, those honest officials may not be good officials, and may not be able to manage the people well. In the future, they may not become corrupt officials!" Xu Jie sat there and said solemnly to Zhang Hao.

"Yeah!" Zhang Hao nodded when he heard this, admitting that Xu Jie was right, that's true!

"Zhang Hao, I will find out as soon as possible. Don't stare at us every day!" Xu Jie said to Zhang Hao.

"I must be staring at you. You lied to me about this matter, so I don't want to stare at me?" Zhang Hao looked at Xu Jie and said. Xu Jie was helpless. He knew that he could not convince Zhang Hao. Even Jiajing could not convince Zhang Hao. Who could convince him?

"I guess the problem of impeachment is not a big problem. The emperor will not really deal with you now, but if you can't get it out of corruption, you three must retire and return home alone. If the emperor doesn't deal with it, how can we govern the world?" Zhang Hao sat there and said,

Xu Jie heard this and nodded, knowing that this is the truth, and he didn't say anything anymore.

Soon, Xu Shiyun also came over. She originally wanted to introduce her second and third sister-in-law to Zhang Hao to know, but found that Zhang Hao was not sitting in the living room, but went to the study with her father.

"But what's wrong?" Xu Shiyun asked worriedly.

"I don't know, nothing is wrong, right?" Xu Fan looked at Xu Shiyun and shook his head and said.

"Well, okay, let's talk about it during lunch!" Xu Shiyun nodded worriedly, then went to the back room with her second and third sister-in-law.

Now they have put the resting place in this room, the temperature is so high that it won’t be cold when working.

After lunch, Zhang Hao and Xu Shiyun stayed in the Xu Mansion for a while, then went back. When they arrived at their own courtyard, Jin'er also came over and started pouring tea for Xu Shiyun. Xu Shiyun saw Jin'er's belly and was stunned for a moment, she was pregnant.

"Mrs. Second Young Master, please have tea!" Jin'er stood there and served tea to Xu Shiyun,

Xu Shiyun took it, looked up and looked at Jin'er carefully. She looked very upright and handsome, but now she felt that Jin'er should be pregnant. So she couldn't help but ask, "But is pregnant?"

"Ah, yes, Young Madam, it's been more than two months!" Jin'er immediately knelt down and said nervously. Zhang Hao sat there and saw Jin'er kneeling down, stunned for a moment, but did not make a sound, but continued to sit there in a daze.

"Well, it's okay, get up. Since I'm pregnant, don't kneel down in the future!" Xu Shiyun said with a smile, feeling so angry that she got married. Zhang Hao actually made other people's women's belly bigger. Although this is normal for a wealthy family, Xu Shiyun still feels a little uncomfortable.

"Thank you, madam, I dare not be so unruly!" Jin'er stood up and said quickly.

"How many years have you been in the mansion?" Xu Shiyun asked with a smile at Jin'er.

"Mrs. Hui has been twelve years. I came here at the age of eight. I started taking care of the second young master at the age of twelve!" Jin'er said.

"Well, it's really a long time. You are an old man in the house. I'll say I won't talk about those rules anymore, you understand! Is there anyone around you now?" Jin'er asked.

"Back to Madam, there are four people serving you!" Jin'er nodded and said.

"That's good, then I won't send you a servant!" Xu Shiyun said to Jin'er.

"Thank you, young lady, I dare not let your young lady think about you!" Jin'er still bowed and said.

"Okay, sit down, this belly is also my husband's blood!" Xu Shiyun said, then looked at Zhang Hao sitting next to her, but Zhang Hao didn't look at her.

After a while, Jin'er went out. Xu Shiyun asked the servants to go out too. She turned around and looked at Zhang Hao.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Hao stared at Xu Shiyun and said.

"You, are you too much? You, you!" Xu Shiyun stared at Zhang Hao angrily and said.

"Blame me? She was ordered by her mother, saying that she wanted to teach me what was in bed. This is something that a wealthy family must do. That girl doesn't understand, and she doesn't understand it yet. She is pregnant later!" Zhang Hao looked at Xu Shiyun and said.

"Ah?" Xu Shiyun heard this and looked at Zhang Hao in surprise, then looked outside the door and looked at Zhang Hao again.

"Xu Shiyun, don't bully her. She is a miserable person. She came to our house at the age of eight and took care of my daily life at the age of twelve. When I was a child, I was scolded a lot because I was ignorant!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Shiyun.

"Am I a jealous woman? I know the rules of wealthy families. Besides, she is like this because we get married! Besides, her child will call me a mother in the future!" Xu Shiyun stared at Zhang Hao and said.

"It's good to think so. Also, my mother attaches great importance to the children in his belly, both men and women, and you know that the eldest brother has not given birth yet. Now, um, hehe, she is pregnant, it proves that I have no problem. Do you know? I am the hope of the whole family!" Zhang Hao looked at Xu Shiyun proudly at this moment and said.

"Hmph, Dingtu, you are still greedy for other people's beauty!" Xu Shiyun said to Zhang Hao with contempt.

"Nonsense, if I were greedy for her beauty, could I bear it for so long?" Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and said,

When Xu Shiyun heard this, she was right.

"By the way, I'll give it to you!" Zhang Hao said as he took out a stack of money, and there were a total of 50,000 taels.

"So much money?" Xu Shiyun saw it and said casually.

"50,000 taels, the expenses of our yard!" Zhang Hao also said casually.

"How much?" Xu Shiyun was so surprised that she thought it wasn't much. Unexpectedly, Zhang Hao took out so much money at once. She had never seen so much money before.

"50,000 taels, you can handle the matters in the courtyard in the future. In addition, my mother will also give our courtyard a monthly expense of 200 taels, and you can also take it. Anyway, you have the final say in the courtyard!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Shiyun.

"Oh, why are there so many of this?" Xu Shiyun took it, still very shocked.

"Are you too much? Take it with me if you have nothing to do!" Zhang Hao laughed at him.

At dinner time, Zhang Hao and Xu Shiyun went to the front yard for dinner. After dinner, Xu Shiyun originally wanted to come back with Zhang Hao, but was stopped by Zhang Rong and Xu, and even called Zhang Li and his wife to the study room, and Zhang Hao had already returned to the yard first.

"Today, I want to say something. Hao'er doesn't care about such a thing, so she didn't call him. Come, the second wife, take it. Here is 100,000 taels of silver, which is for you!" Xu's bag was handed to Xu Shiyun. When Xu Shiyun heard this, she was stunned. Is this rich family so generous? She often gives money in units of tens of thousands?

"Mom, this, this, this money?" Xu Shiyun didn't know whether to accept it, so she was a little hesitant.

"Hold it!" Zhang Rong also sat there and spoke. Xu Shiyun then looked at Zhang Li and his wife.

"Hold it, brother and sister!" Ding Yu also spoke at this moment, and Xu Shiyun took it, but she also held it in her hand.

"This money is the dividend from Zhang Hao's soap workshop before the New Year. On the surface, it was divided into 400,000 taels. In fact, I only took 200,000 taels. Because Hao'er had not gotten married before, the money returned to his home, so I left 100,000 taels. As the family's expenses, you can take this 100,000 taels!" Zhang Rong said.

"This, no, Dad, let's use it for the family!" Xu Shiyun immediately spoke when she heard this. The two brothers have not separated yet, and the family's money is all managed by Zhang Rong and his wife, so she is not qualified to manage the money.

"Take it, Hao'er earned this money by his own ability, not supported by his family, and your elder brother and others have no objection. The future dividends will also belong to you. Moreover, you also know that the huge British Duke's mansion will still have 80% of the wealth, and you will understand this rule!" Zhang Rong continued to speak,
