Chapter 88: Counterattack

Zhu Jian left obediently, Hao Fenglou looked at his back and showed a meaningful smile.

He hurried back to the Baihu House and immediately ordered someone to say, "Hurry up, call Zhou Shuli."

Zhou Fang rushed over without stopping, Hao Fenglou looked at him and said lightly: "Are Zhou Shuli interested in becoming a lieutenant?"

Zhou Fang's mind was buzzing. Although both clerks and officials were "officials", there were many types of officials among the Jinyiwei, such as the experience of the Wenyiwei. The full name of the official position was the Wenyiwei. He presided over all the clerks of the Beinan Town Office. Although it was just a clerk, he had a superior status in the Jinyiwei and could even be on par with the Jinyiwei and the assistant ranks.

As for the experience, there are so-called officials of each thousand household office. Almost every thousand household office has a number of civil servants and clerks, responsible for the purpose of dispatching and drawing lots, and also responsible for the transmission of documents and the writing work. The officials manage these clerks and clerks, assisting thousands of households in their office work, and their status is absolutely no less than that of an ordinary hundred households.

When we arrived at the Hundred Houses, there was only one clerk. After all, the clerk of the Hundred Houses was only the secretary of the Hundred Houses, and the clerk of the Hundred Houses was equivalent to the director of the secretariat. If we had further experience, we would almost be the secretary-general of the entire Jinyiwei.

Zhou Fang was naturally not a person who had no ambition at all, so she looked straight at Hao Fenglou and said, "Sir..."

Hao Fenglou smiled: "From now on, we have to move. If someone wants to grab food, then kick him away. But the rules within the Beizhen Prefecture Department are really ashamed to say. I am a layman in all aspects, so I have to ask Mr. Zhou to help. From now on, buy more gifts, and you will go to visit the great masters of the Beizhen Prefecture Department on my behalf. I will leave the favor to you."

Zhou Fang suppressed the excitement in his heart. In fact, he had a premonition that Hao Baihu seemed to have already made arrangements, and now, he had prepared the stones and crushed the thousand households into pieces.

"I dare to ask you, how to do personal favors."

Hao Fenglou smiled slightly: "Come on, I will teach you."

When Cheng Wen, a thousand households in Dongcheng, naturally could not hide the actions of his colleagues who were spies. In fact, there were more than one person staring at the Hundred Houses in Donghuamen, but he was surrounded by wolves, so everyone was not able to speak. Now that Cheng Wen had taken action, everyone's eyes were on Dongcheng.

Zhu Jian had returned to Qianhu Office at this time, and Qianhu Cheng Wen was pacing back and forth in the lobby, looking a little impatient.

Of course, Hao Fenglou is not just a small family. Cheng Wen knows this clearly. It is precisely because of this that he is extremely afraid of Hao Fenglou. If Zhang Fu is a thousand family, there is no need to worry. Cheng Wen is different. A subordinate who is too strong and even has a background is a very bad thing for his superiors.

The reason why he chose to move Hao Fenglou was naturally because there was a promise in Yingtian Mansion. At the same time, Zhu Jian also had his background behind him. As for Zhu Jian, the deputy Qianhu, he was just a chess piece in his hand. As long as he used it just right, he could take down Hao Fenglou. By that time, no matter what the background of Hao Fenglou was, Cheng Wen could be invincible.

Cheng Wen could almost imagine that when he completely took over the Donghuamen Hundred House, countless money flowed in every month. This money could not only enrich himself, but also pour into the pockets of the "adults" like flowing water. After this year, Cheng Qianhu could become the hottest figure in Nanjing. It was not impossible to even win the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei.

This alone is enough to make Cheng Wen take this risk and seek wealth and honor!

Zhu Jian came back. When a strong man came in to report, Cheng Wen's face suddenly became gloomy. In his arrangement, Zhu Jian shouldn't have come back at this time. Could it be... something went wrong?

"Call in and speak."

Zhu Jian came in and saluted: "I have met the lord."

Cheng Wen's face was silent, but his tone seemed distant and indifferent: "What, what's the news over there?"

Zhu Jian glanced at Cheng Wen, did not dare to neglect at all, and said, "Hao Fenglou has surrendered."

"What? I'm giving in! " Cheng Wen breathed a sigh of relief. This was beyond his expectations. He thought Hao Fenglou would take the risk, but he couldn't believe that he would give in so quickly. It's no wonder that Zhu Jian came back at this time.

"What did he say?"

Zhu Jian licked his mouth, thought about the words, and said, "He said that the Donghuamen was originally under the jurisdiction of Qianhu, Dongcheng, and the lord was Shangguan. Now that the Donghuamen has earned money, it is better to have fun alone than to have fun. Therefore, 70% of the monthly safe money is willing to send it to Qianhumen, and let the lord send it to him."

70%... This is nearly 10,000 taels of silver, which is indeed not a small number, and there may be more in the future. Cheng Wen's face suddenly eased, and he touched the case and said, "What he said is really 70%?"

Zhu Jian said: "It's true that he is just a hundred households. Although he heard that there are some connections, his arm can't twist his thighs after all. I think he knows that even if the thousand households don't speak today, there will naturally be someone who wants to rob him. Every man is innocent and has a treasure. I think he understands this principle."

Cheng Wenhe nodded and said, "In fact, it was a good deal for him, which made him take 30% of the benefits, but... for his understanding, I will just leave him some sweetness."

Cheng Wen was still quite relaxed and happy. In fact, it would be good to swallow it all in one bite, but since the other party made concessions, at least he was satisfied enough. Since that is the case, it is natural that it is better to settle things. Why do you have to force others to jump over the wall? There is no need.

Zhu Jian hurriedly said, "What the sir is saying."

Cheng Wen said: "You go down, when will he offer his money?"

Zhu Jian said: "The agreement has been made. Hao Fenglou said that the Ping An money for this month has not been collected yet. There are some newly opened shops that need to be calculated, but I am afraid it will take another half a month."

Cheng Wen didn't care much, just half a month, he showed a successful smile on his face and said, "It's okay, just go down, yes, you have made a lot of contributions this time, don't worry, I won't forget your benefits."

Cheng Wen lowered his head and went to see the recent imperial court newspaper.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Jian sternly: "What, what else is there?"

Zhu Jian said: "Sir, there is another thing. There is a humble saying that I don't know whether to say it or not."

Cheng Wen showed some impatientness and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hide it."

Zhu Jian said: "Sir, when I came back, I met someone from Beizhen Prefecture. The person looked like Wu Tongzhi..."

Cheng Wen frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Zhu Jian said seriously: "It seems that the person who is planning to attack the hundreds of households in Donghuamen is afraid that there are not only adults. The meaning of humbleness is that many people are thinking about the transaction between Huxia and Hao Fenglou, but they are afraid that tomorrow, the entire Beizhen Prefecture Office will know. Huxia is still the same thing. Every man is innocent and is guilty of possessing a treasure. Hao Fenglou holds that money, and the child holds the gold ingot. Now the gold ingot is in the hands of the adults, but I am afraid..."

Cheng Wen couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and after a long time, he said: "You are right. This is both a gold ingot and a hot potato. I cannot take it alone. The Beizhen Prefecture Department also has to give some benefits. When the money is transferred to Qianhuyuan, I have to take out a large sum of money to the Beizhen Prefecture Department."

Zhu Jian said: "Your Mai can wait, but the Beizhen Prefecture Department may not be willing to wait. They only know that you have gained benefits, but they may not know..."

Cheng Wen sighed: "These people are all robbers. What you said makes sense, but what should I do now?"

Zhu Jian said: "Sir, you should prepare gifts immediately, pay a visit to all of you, and explain the whole story."

Cheng Wen looked at Zhu Jian with appreciation: "You are right. But this gift..."

Cheng Wen is really upset. He is a new job, so where can he buy some generous gifts?

Zhu Jian glanced at Cheng Wen and said word by word: "Are you going to pay a salary soon? Why not stop the salary and move it to the emergency for the time being. Anyway, if you delay it for ten or eight days, the Donghua Gate will deliver the money. Although this is to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall, it is also an emergency solution."

Cheng Wen hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and glanced at the diary, and said, "There is no money for this month? Didn't you see the diary say it? It's cloth and rice again. Forget it, when you go to Chujicang to collect the money, you can use it to pay the money for the merchants and send it directly to me. I can go to pay homage to you all."
