At the same time, at the mansion of the Censor Liu Meicai, the owner was entertaining two colleagues, with good wine and food, but no servants served him.

"I'm talking to you two, why did you come here in person in such a severe cold weather?" Liu Meicai said to the other two with a smile, "Can you not give it to you just two hundred taels of silver?"

"Haha, Brother Liu, are you just two hundred taels? We are not as rich as you!" One of them responded with a smile, "This money is his own in his pocket, right? Haha!"

The other man picked up the wine and took a sip, smacked his lips, then shook his head and said, "Look, you can have a good meal when you come here. The wine in Jindi is the most authentic here! Not bad, not bad!"

These two are Liu Meicai's colleagues, Censor Liao Guolin and Yang Zhiqi. These two people regard money as their lives and can be said to be people who really fall into the eyes of money. Other Censors may also follow some big shots to advance and retreat, but these two people will do whatever they want as long as they give enough money, which is absolutely true.

Liu Meicai gave each of them 100 taels of silver before, asking them to impeach Dongchang at the court meeting. After the court meeting, they would give another 100 taels of silver as remuneration. Unexpectedly, before the money was sent over, they both came over to ask for it in person.

Listening to their words, Liu Meicai didn't talk nonsense. She turned around and walked to the cabinet on the side, took out four large ingots from it, one person had two ingots, and placed them in front of them, saying, "I never go back on my word when doing things. Please collect the money!"

When he went to get the silver, the two of them stared at him with greed. At this time, when they saw two ingots of shiny ingots, they immediately reached out to take them and hid them in their arms, without feeling too uncomfortable. Then they heard Liao Guolin say: "Brother Liu, it's a big risk to impeach Dongchang. If Dongchang gets crazy, I don't know if we will be bitten by them!"

"Yes, this time it's really risky!" Yang Zhiqi immediately agreed, "Until now, I'm still a little nervous."

For the censor, impeaching others is his job. If he is a good person all day long, the censor will be incompetent. He impeached Xia Dongchang in plain words. Generally, the Dongchang will not be incomparable to the censor. Therefore, the purpose of the two of them saying this is actually very obvious, and they are simply trying to get more money.

Liu Meicai understood it and was not stingy. She immediately took out two small ingots from her sleeve, and put them in front of them, "Thank you for your hard work, but I think Eunuch Cao will be busy lately, so there should be nothing wrong. And the emperor's wise and wise look, it seems that Eunuch Cao won't do anything randomly!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhiqi said with envy: "Brother Liu, you have won the first prize. You can really impeach the East Factory. Maybe you will be promoted to the case if you turn around!"

Liao Guolin also congratulated him and sighed: "Look, we work so hard to make money, just to be able to rise. If you are in the eyes of the emperor, you may be able to save a lot of money!"

In response to this, Liu Meicai said seriously: "Improving the East Factory and competing for the discipline is what we should do. Since I have obtained the evidence, I naturally have to report to the emperor, which is not a matter that the emperor is obsessed with."

Liu Zhiqi and Liao Guolin both laughed loudly after hearing this. They didn't care about this.

In today's officialdom, no one knows who is very good at speaking, but in fact they are not men and thieves and prostitutes. Speaking of which, they are all hypocrites, so it's better to be a real villain yourself!

However, they were not brainless people, and they did not expose each other, flattered each other, and finished the banquet with all their fun. Then the two wiped their mouths and said to Liu Meicai on their chests, just take care of them if they have anything to do in the future.

After they left, Liu Meicai's housekeeper approached him and reported: "Master, Shopkeeper Fan has been waiting in the side hall for a long time!"

"What?" Liu Meicai heard this and hurriedly headed to the side hall, and said, "Why are you here to report now?"

"It was Jiangui Fan who told the villain not to report, saying that he had nothing to do anyway, so he would not disturb the master's meeting." The housekeeper explained and followed him closely.

Liu Meicai hurried to the side hall and saw Fan Fu drinking tea. He hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed, "Let the benign wait for a long time!"

It was Fan Fu who had always been dealing with Liu Meicai. For Liu Meicai, money was the way for him along the way. If he could have today, Fan Fu was his reborn parent, so he was always called a benefactor.

When Fan Fu saw this, he quickly put down the teacup and replied with a smile: "I've said that my benefactor dare not take it. Anyway, I have nothing to do. It's okay, it's okay!"

After some politeness, the two of them sat down, and the only one of them was left in the side hall.

Fan Fu had been waiting for a long time, and was afraid that his master would be anxious, so he went straight to the point and said: "The East Factory is now investigating the case of the Imperial Horse Supervision. The Jinyiwei is a little abnormal. I don't know what he is doing?"

"I don't know this. I don't seem to have seen anyone in the past few days." Liu Meicai replied strangely, "But the government official and other people seem to have been replaced."

Fan Fu frowned and asked, "Then may this factory guard check the affairs of the Qing Dynasty?"

"From the current situation, it seems that it is just an excuse. Many colleagues in the morning, including the cabinet assistants, all said it by chance, and the emperor did not seem to refute it." Liu Meicai recalled and said, "It seems that this should be forgotten and will not mention it again."

Speaking of this, he looked at Fan Fu and comforted him: "My benefactor, don't worry, not to mention whether the factory guards will investigate, even if they can investigate, they may not necessarily knock on the bamboo pole of our Jin real estate industry. If they dare to use this excuse to make money in the future, I will join hands with other colleagues to impeach the East Factory."

He said, and smiled, and told Fan Fu: "Today, the emperor specially summoned me to inform the impeachment of Wu Dayong of the East Factory. It can be seen that the East Factory cannot be as unscrupulous as during the Tianqi period. Don't worry, benefactor."

After hearing this, Fan Fu nodded and felt more at ease, but he said: "The factory guards often do illegal things. If they impeach them from time to time, they will probably have some concerns in their work. What do you think?"

"Don't worry, benefactor, this is the responsibility of the Censorate, and you should do your best."

Fan Fu nodded, thought for a while, and asked again: "I heard that reinforcements have arrived, and the Qing army is afraid that they will escape? If this is the case, I think it's time to get another batch of goods. The New Year is coming soon, and it's a good time to make money."

"My benefactor!" Liu Meicai quickly dissuaded, "The reinforcements are probably rumors. I didn't hear any rumors in the court."

After hearing this, Fan Fu nodded and got the information he wanted, so he put down another five hundred taels of silver and left.

When Emperor Chongzhen got up early the next morning, he saw these conversations when he was flipping through the information.
