Chapter 366: What a great trick to make friends out of nothing and sneak into Chen Cang!

The ministers who happened to be approaching the door paused for a moment, and after just a few breaths, they suddenly quickened their pace!

It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!

There is something big to eat right after arriving. Isn't it the blessing for them to work hard while having fun? !

"Good luck, Master!"

"I'm in good health, old man!"

A group of upright people happily paid their respects to Emperor Mingze, and then happily stood in the corner, temporarily forgetting the purpose of their visit.

Anyway, they are here mainly to show off their reputation today, so let’s not talk about those little things!

Eating melon is important!!

Jiao Hongmiao: “…”

Jiao Hongmiao gritted his teeth and relied on his willpower to resist the urge to beat up his colleague.

The veins on his forehead couldn't stop throbbing.

Eat eat eat!

Just know how to eat!

Eating everything will only harm you!!

At the same time, his heart was also very conflicted.

——He really wanted to know what his bastard brother had done, but he didn't want to find out in such a "lively" situation.

However, the little girl's inner voice rang out happily. She didn't care at all whether Uncle Jiao, whom she had exposed, was happy or not, or whether he was socially dead or not. She just ate melons in her soft and sticky childish voice, with a sense of beauty that showed she didn't care about the lives of others at all.

Jiao Hongmiao closed his eyes fiercely.

The trend of eating melons finally blew on Jiao Hongmiao.

[Hmm... it's a bit messy... let Chengcheng sort it out first...]

Sitting on the armchair covered with several layers of soft cushions, Jiang Yingcheng's brows were furrowed, and his round eyes were full of confusion.

[The main business of Uncle Jiao’s family is registered in the name of the nephew of his uncle’s wife’s sister’s husband’s family… Uh…]

This relationship was too complicated. Jiang Yingcheng only read the information once, but he felt dizzy and his head was filled with so much information.

All the ministers present followed the young man's thoughts and tried to figure out the relationship. However, they had only figured out half of the relationship before they all turned their gaze to Jiao Hongmiao with a blank face.

You are really good at it!!

Jiao Hongmiao lowered his head and slowly swept back and forth on the tiptoes of a small open space in front of him.

Um……

this……

He also has his own difficulties.

Although the dynasty did not prohibit the family members of officials from engaging in business, his status as the Minister of Revenue still caused many inconveniences, and he inevitably had to be more cautious...

By registering the business under the name of such a distant relative who was hardly a relative, he could, on the one hand, avoid many attacks from political enemies; on the other hand, he still held the position of Minister of Finance, so he did not have to worry about the other party turning the tables.

This move has only benefits and no harm. He just made a mistake that all the ministers of finance in the world would make. To round it off, he did nothing wrong!

[Hmm… yes, they are relatives!] Jiang Yingcheng’s brain failed to activate, and he simply and roughly defined the relationship between the two.

[Although this relative is the owner of these shops on the surface, in fact, they are all managed by Uncle Jiao’s wife.]

[Uncle Jiao trusts his wife very much and never interferes too much in matters... Wow! It seems that Uncle Jiao is still a good family husband! ]

Although this kind of thing is not a big deal in modern times, if it were put in the present...

That is a truly precious quality!

Jiao Hongmiao couldn't help but reveal a smug look on his face. He puffed out his chest and raised his head, shouting in his heart -

right!

That's right!

Just promote him like this!!

He is such a good husband who loves his wife.

[But it was precisely because of this that Uncle Jiao's brother had an opportunity to take advantage of it! ]

The smile on Jiao Hongmiao's lips froze.

Hearing the words of praise coming from the boy's heart, he was so excited that he forgot for a moment that they were talking about such fatal news.

[Uncle Jiao's younger brother lied that a friend had introduced him to a huge order and wanted to order a large amount of goods from Uncle Jiao's business. Because it was introduced by a family member, Aunt Jiao did not have much doubt and agreed to it on the spot.]

Jiao Hongmiao was stunned for a moment, and then a cool breeze went straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!

He actually had some impression of this incident!

Some time ago, his wife suddenly became in a good mood -

It’s not that she was in a bad mood on weekdays, but during that period of time, every time they met, her face was filled with an unstoppable smile, and she was in high spirits and unusually busy.

She was very secretive. Whenever he asked her what she was doing, she would laugh happily but refused to tell him what she was doing. She even claimed that she would give him a surprise in the future.

Later, he learned from others that it was his good-for-nothing younger brother who introduced a huge order to his family.

——How relieved he was then, how angry he is now.

Good job Jiao Hongxi! You were waiting for him here!!

good!

Well done!!

[What a great trick to create a friend out of thin air and sneak into Chen Cang! ]

[This is a complete setup! ]

[That man was a local thug hired by him with his own money. He stole the deposit from the Jiao residence. Only the goods that Aunt Jiao was about to deliver were real!]

Jiao Hongmiao's ears were filled with buzzing noises, and his nerves were tense. He even felt that if someone just touched him a little bit more -

“Crack—”

Suddenly, an extremely subtle and crisp sound was heard, which was infinitely amplified in his fragile nerves.

Jiao Hongmiao raised his head suddenly with red eyes and looked fiercely in the direction where the sound came from!

"Forehead..."

Minister of Rites Chu Jiaxu took out a handful of melon seeds from somewhere, and when he saw Jiao Hongmiao looking at him, he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Want some?"

Jiao Hongmiao: “…”

Jiao Hongmiao: “???”

Are you still human?

Are you still human?!

【ah!!】

The little guy on the chair suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar in his heart.

[Because of the delay in the construction period, Aunt Jiao has not had time to hand over all the goods to Uncle Jiao's brother. It may not be too late to stop it now! ]

Jiang Yingcheng, who was sitting comfortably on the armchair, suddenly twisted into a caterpillar: [No, we can't delay any longer, Chengcheng has to find a way to tell Uncle Jiao right away! ]

Jiao Hongmiao's sad and angry mood was finally relieved a little at this moment.

Wuwuwu, it has to be his little dumpling again!

It hurts!!

As for the little guy's little note...

It’s not that we can’t save—

Jiao Hongmiao turned around and met the eyes of Lu Yao, who was among the crowd watching the excitement.

Lu Yao nodded in understanding and stepped forward: "Brother Jiao! There's a thief in your house!!"

Jiao Hongmiao: “…”

Or you could just kill me.

Even though the process was not satisfactory, Lu Yao finally succeeded in reporting the news. After obtaining Emperor Daomingze's approval, Jiao Hongmiao left the place in a hurry.

Jiang Yingcheng finally resolved the important matter that had been weighing on his mind, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

[It’s good that Uncle Jiao knows about this! ]

But when it comes to money——

[Why hasn't Brother Li Feng come back yet?] Jiang Yingcheng's mouth squinted, [Brother Tong, Brother Tong, please help Chengcheng check what the two of them are doing?!]

Qingliu at the scene: "..."

How on earth are these two connected to money? !
