"My lord, the person went in and never came out." The subordinate said hurriedly and cautiously.
At this critical juncture, anyone who makes the eldest master angry will suffer a bad fate.
Han Qi is too lazy to argue with his subordinates about this now.
After a moment's silence, Han Qi stood up and said, "Is there no news from Mao Qiangguang?"
"No, sir. We still haven't found the person." The subordinate said again.
"Go to the Yangzhou prefectural government office." Han Qi said with a serious face.
Things have come to this point, and it is no longer possible to find anyone to do it. We can only mobilize official forces and let the Yangzhou prefectural government take action.
In Yangzhou, the Yangzhou prefectural government still has the final say, after all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.
"Yes, I'll prepare the carriage right away." The subordinate said hurriedly, turned around and ran outside.
Yangzhou prefectural government office.
As the prefect of Yangzhou, Chen Tang had a good life.
You know, Yangzhou is a place with abundant natural resources and a developed economy. There are many merchants and wealthy people. It is natural for an official from Chentang to be here.
It was just that the Emperor's arrival in Nanjing had made life a little tense in Chentang. But it didn't matter; as long as there wasn't a commotion, the singing and dancing would continue as usual, with no impact at all.
At this time, an old man in his fifties walked in from outside.
He was a big fat man, and judging from his attire, one could tell at a glance that he was a legal advisor.
The lawyer came straight to Chen Tang and said, "Sir, Han Qi from the Han family is here."
After hearing this, Chen Tang raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "It seems that there are more benefits coming."
Compared with Zhang Wei's approach, Chen Tang is more direct.
"Let him in." Chen Tang said with a smile.
"Yes, sir." The lawyer agreed and turned to go outside to invite someone.
Not long after, Han Qi walked in from outside.
After seeing Chen Tang, Han Qi immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, sir."
After hearing this, Chen Tang nodded and made a gesture of invitation.
After Han Qi sat down, Chen Tang said directly: "Are you here for your brother's matter? Why, hasn't it been resolved yet?"
Han Qi pondered for a moment, and without hiding anything, told Chen Tang everything.
Finally, Han Qi turned to look at Chen Tang and said, "This matter still depends on you, sir. My father is very worried about my younger brother and hopes you can give him some advice and help. If you need people or materials, we can discuss it."
Chen Tang looked at Han Qi and said, "Of course there is no problem with this. We are old friends."
"There are two conditions. The first is that all expenses will be paid by your family. This is also an old rule. After all, we are doing this for your family."
"Of course, you should understand. In addition to expenses, I also need some income." Chen Tang said directly.
"As long as you get the job done, I'll give you two hundred thousand taels of silver," Han Qi said. "I absolutely won't break my promise."
Chen Tang nodded and said, "This price is a bit low, but it depends on how easy it is to solve the problem. If it is easy, this amount of money is fine; if it is not easy, then we need to add a little more."
"No problem." Han Qi nodded again and said, "The last thing we lack is money."
Chen Tang nodded, tacitly agreeing to this matter.
He continued, "Then let's talk about the second condition. I want the position of Yangzhou Transport Commissioner. After the matter is completed, you must help me obtain this position."
Hearing this, Han Qi frowned.
The current Yangzhou Transport Commissioner had a good relationship with his family, and they worked very happily together. Suddenly, helping Chen Tang secure the position of Yangzhou Transport Commissioner was not in the Han family's best interests.
"I know your family has a say, even to the Prime Minister. After all, you are all salt merchants. As long as your Han family speaks, even the Prime Minister can speak for me. I have been an official for so many years, I have to take a step up."
After hearing this, Han Qi frowned.
The chief minister of the cabinet was Han Yu, who was from Shanxi and a Shanxi merchant.
Although they are all salt merchants, Shanxi merchants also have some people in Yangzhou, but the price of asking them to speak out is not small.
However, if he wants to seize the position of Yangzhou Transport Commissioner, he should not be able to use this relationship.
"We have to wait until Chen Zhenglin leaves." Han Qi said after thinking about it.
