"My dear Lords, Cheng Wen, a thousand households, greedy for military pay, lies and nonsense. Is the matter revealed now? The humble man is indeed unscrupulous, but it is now the end of the year. The brothers have not seen any trace of meat and fish. The court has compassion for all the money and food distributed by him. Seeing that the brothers cannot pass this year, the humble man stood up. If you ask the humble man whether he incites to make trouble, the humble man dare not deny it. If you ask the humble man whether he has hit someone, the humble man has nothing to say. The humble man does have the suspicion of being the best and is willing to receive punishment. I just want you to be fair and give me some food to you."

After Hao Fenglou said that, he didn't say much, and fell to the ground, as if you were to do it yourself.

The three core figures of the Jinyiwei looked at each other. At this point, there was nothing to bother with. When it was involved in the palace, the palace had obtained the money, so I would definitely ask about it in the future. How to explain to the palace in the future is a problem. There are so many people below who have not received the money, and the excitement of the crowd is another problem.

If you deal with Hao Fenglou now, it is difficult to explain upwards. If you go downwards, it is even hard to explain.

The three big men were hesitant and although they had their own thoughts, they were unwilling to reveal them now.

Cheng Wen knew something was wrong, and at this moment he looked at the assistant minister Liang Chao. Liang Chao knew that things were very difficult. It would be better not to get too involved. He never expected that the money had already been sent to the palace. It was ridiculous that he thought he had picked up gold ingots and wanted to get a piece of the pie and compete with the palace for food. Isn't this a tragic death?

Seeing Liang Chao having an attitude that had nothing to do with me, Cheng Wentian was dizzy and almost vomited an old blood. He gritted his teeth and said, "Report to all of you, this money... the money is not hidden privately, this money..."

"Bang..." Liang Chao slapped the table hard and said angrily: "You Cheng Wen, the court treats you very well. You are greedy and deducting military pay. You still dare to argue. It's simply outrageous. Come on, slap your mouth!"

Several lieutenants hesitated for a moment, rushed forward and raised Cheng Wen, slapped him a few times.

Ji Gang and Wu Hui both showed knowing smiles. Liang Chao's reaction was reasonable. Cheng Wen was Liang Chao's person. The two of them were too close to each other. The more they were like this, the more Liang Chao needed to try his best to separate his relationship.

However, no one exposes Liang Chao's thoughts. Even Wu Hui knew that he could not defeat Liang Chao by relying on this alone. Even if Cheng Wen bit Liang Chao back, Liang Chao refused to accept it. He was a clerk of the Jinyiwei, and no one could do anything to him. So now, everyone is watching the show and see how Liang Chao performs.

Liang Chao said sadly: "This Cheng Wen is clever and nonsense. This official was almost blinded by him. Unexpectedly, he did such a thing. Lord Ji, humble, thought that he should immediately take Cheng Wen and hand it over to the Nanzhen Prefecture Office to implement the family law. Even if the national law is tolerate him, the family law of our Jinyiwei will never tolerate him!"

"Yes." Ji Gang nodded slightly.

The captain, who was like a wolf and a tiger, pulled Cheng Wen down without saying anything.

Ji Gang felt a headache and waved his hand: "Hao Fenglou, you should also retreat."

Hao Fenglou said: "I'm so embarrassed to leave."

There were only three people left in Qianhu lobby, and none of them spoke first. Except for the occasional coughing, needles could be heard in the lobby.

Finally, Ji Gang picked up the teacup, but was not in a hurry to drink tea. Finally, he said slowly: "How can I deal with the aftermath now? I am not interested in pursuing anything, nor do I want to know the cause and effect of this matter. I don't want to know anything. But there is one thing that must wipe the feces and urine on my butt. Liang Chao, you tell me first."

Liang Chao is now like a thorn in his throat, pondering for a moment before saying, "First of all, it is apologizing from the palace. After all, it is so big that we are the personal army. What we lose is the face of the Jinyiwei, but in fact it is also the face of the palace."

Seeing Ji Gang nodding, Liang Chao continued: "The second is to appease the subordinates of the Thousand Households in Dongcheng City, investigate Cheng Wen, but only relieve everyone's unhappiness. The most important thing at the moment is to send money and grain to calm down."

Ji Gang said: "So how to deal with Hao Fenglou?"

Liang Chao was speechless for a moment. From his position, he certainly wanted to tear Hao Fenglou apart, but now, of course he also knew that this was impossible.

Tongzhi Wu Hui smiled slightly and said, "I think that Hao Fenglou should not be dealt with for the time being. In any case, although Hao Fenglou is causing trouble, the cause of the incident is that Cheng Wen, Qianhu, is corruption and illegal. If he takes care of him, he may be the entire Dongcheng Qianhu Office. Besides, he recently sent a sum of silver to the palace. Didn't the palace say that? He asked him to do the job well. If he investigated him at this time, who will do the job?"

Liang Chao's old face twitched, but he had to accept the result and said dryly: "What Mr. Wu said."

Ji Gang made the final decision: "Then, let's do it. There is still a problem now. The money and food have been deducted by Cheng Wen. At that time, I will be able to copy Cheng Wen's home and pay the officials and soldiers in Dongcheng. But what if there is a shortage?"

This problem is very realistic. Everyone knows that Cheng Wen’s money paid may not be hidden by himself. I am afraid that many people in the core circle of the Jinyiwei have taken this benefit. Could it be that everyone spit out the silver? It is easy to say, but you must not recognize such a thing. Taking out the silver will prove that you have taken Cheng Wen’s benefits. Isn’t this slap yourself in the mouth?

Since the money is gone, what kind of salary will be paid?

A headache.

Wu Hui narrowed his eyes and said, "I think I can think of a solution. It's really impossible to delay it. It's all the trouble. If we don't pay the salary, we won't be able to get over the face. But we are not the Ministry of Revenue and cannot make money. Now, we are the personal army, but even the various departments have difficulties. To put it bluntly, we are short of money. However, Hao Fenglou seems to have a lot of solutions, so why not ask him to negotiate."

Ji Gang agreed deeply, but was worried: "I'm afraid he won't."

Liang Chao sneered: "He is a small family, and he dares to take offense?" He hated Hao Fenglou, but it was inconvenient to attack now.

Ji Gang smiled and said, "Please come."

Not long after, Hao Fenglou, who was waiting outside, was invited into the lobby of Qianhu Office. Facing these three core bosses, Hao Fenglou looked very calm. After giving the ceremony, Ji Gang said lightly: "Have the Donghuamen Hundred Houses ever intercepted the money? Hao Fenglou, tell the truth."

The reason why everyone put their ideas on Hao Fenglou was because everyone didn't believe that Hao Fenglou would send all the money into the palace, and would definitely be reserved.

Hao Fenglou said seriously: "I dare not be humble."

Ji Gang's old face thrust, but he had to say patiently: "There are no outsiders here, they are all brothers in the Wei Dynasty, so you don't have to hide it. Yes, if there is, there is."

Hao Fenglou smiled bitterly and said, "Now the court is short of money, and he is a minister. It is too late to share his worries with the king. How dare you keep it?"

Wu Hui smiled beside him and said, "Hao Baihu, of course everyone knows your loyalty, but you must also know that Weizhong has difficulties now, so let's not hide it. This time, the thousand households in Dongcheng have a vacancy, and the commander is already choosing a wise man. He appreciates you very much."

"Mr. Wu, I'm not saying a thousand words. Everyone knows that a humble person is one. As for the private interception of money and food in the palace, I'm not even thinking about it, even if I think about it." Hao Fenglou denied it very simply.

Ji Gang said with a stern face: "I am in a hurry to follow the power, so I will just say it. There is a deputy thousand household in Dongcheng vacant this time. If you are willing to share the worries of the guards, this deputy thousand household will be recommended to you, and you can think about it yourself."

Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "Yes, there are really."

Ji Gang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How many are there?"

Hao Fenglou said: "One thousand five hundred taels."

Ji Gang glanced at Wu Hui and Liang Chao, and the three of them exchanged opinions, coughed, and said, "Dispatch it here immediately, no mistakes are allowed."

Hao Fenglou said: "Sir, do you count? Do you want to establish a document? Be humble..."

Ji Gang's face suddenly turned dark.
