Chapter 495: The gods fight, the little ghosts suffer



"The fearless Prince Consort Qiao bravely broke into the Prince of Runan's mansion to collect food and fodder for the army, killing his way in and out seven times, yet he managed to escape unscathed."

To Song Da's surprise, everyone sighed.

"Song Da, you think we are fools. The Prince of Runan's Mansion is not the back garden of the Qiao family. It's good enough to be able to enter once, but you have to go in and out seven times?

The King of Runan was famous for being tyrannical and unreasonable, so how could he allow others to be so presumptuous?

"Don't make up stories! If you can come in and go out as you please, is this still a palace?"

"That's right. If being driven out is still possible, then Prince Consort Qiao only brought a few guards and servants. Without even a helper, how could he resist the guards of the palace?"

"Kill in and kill out. Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Everyone loudly protested that Song Da didn't have enough information, so they used their imagination to make up for it!

A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar, with a piece of rough paper in his left hand and a charcoal pencil in his right hand, was writing without even raising his head.

Occasionally, spare a little energy to ask questions of the people around you.

"Did Prince Consort Qiao get the money? Does the Prince of Runan really owe the Ministry of Revenue money?

What was the prince's expression, how did he answer, and whether he could chase the person away?"

.........

Song Da slammed the gavel, and when the discussion died down a bit, he spoke again, "Of course he got it, and the person was unharmed.

This matter is already known to everyone. If you don’t believe it, you can go and ask.”

Someone whispered, "I don't know what method Prince Consort Qiao used to pull out the feathers from the stingy man!

"It can be said that Prince Consort Qiao has no relationship with the Prince of Runan and can be impartial. But it is not certain when it comes to Marquis Dingbian!"

Speaking of this, everyone's gossipy hearts suddenly became excited. They were not afraid of conflicts among these wealthy families, but they were afraid that everything would be peaceful and there would be no gossip.

Soon, news came from there!

The quarreling scene that everyone wanted to see did not occur. Qiao Erlang walked out of the gate of Dingbian Marquis' Mansion safely again. It was said that the old marquis personally sent him out of the gate.

Everyone was a little confused. Was this really a debt collector? It didn't look like it at all!

Since ancient times, debt collection has been a thankless job. The debtor is the master, and the debt collector is the grandson.

It is natural to pay back debts, but debtors are always arrogant. Even if you say all the nice things when asking for repayment, you may not be able to recover your losses after paying back all the debts!

How come it's as easy as eating and drinking in the hands of Prince Consort Qiao?

From this perspective, with Prince Consort Qiao's abilities, isn't it a blessing in disguise that he's working in the Ministry of Revenue, a position that requires him to deal with money all day long?

If he hadn't taken the initiative to stand up and prepare food and supplies this time, wouldn't his abilities have been wasted?

The more people thought about it, the more they felt that this was the truth!

Qiao Erlang didn't care at all about what others would say. He took the silver and went straight to the major grain stores in the capital.

When he came out again, he had nothing in his hands again!

The newly earned money hasn't even warmed up yet, but it's already been spent without a second thought!

Seeing that things were going so smoothly, the chief steward felt that he had no place to exert his strength. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and do a few more big things!

But he was stopped immediately by Qiao Jilang!

He chose these two companies to attack after careful consideration.

The Runan Palace had always been hostile to him, and there was no way to make peace, so he might as well offend them to the end.

One is his nominal relative, and while he is killing his own relative for the sake of justice, he also gives a warning to the Marquis' Mansion.

At the same time, it also puts an end to the idea of ​​others coming to your door to plead for mercy!

He won't even show leniency to his own people, let alone his colleagues with whom he has no close relationship!

Killing one or two chickens to scare the monkeys is enough. If there are more, it is seeking death. There is no need for him to take the initiative to attack the rest. Those who understand will understand!

If he doesn't cherish the opportunity I gave him, don't blame him for handing all the evidence he has to Your Majesty. By then, it won't be something that can be solved by spending money!

He only looked through the account books of the past two years, and the problems were shocking. He could hardly count the number of handles he could find!

These parasites are about to empty the national treasury. No wonder we can’t even prepare food and fodder now!

His father, second uncle and third uncle were fighting enemies on the border, but they couldn't even provide the most basic material support.

These evildoers are spending money like water and living a life of luxury in the capital!

Why?

Now that life and death are at stake, what's the point of talking about face?

My family is not living comfortably, so why should others live comfortably? Qiao Erlang did not think that his idea was despicable at all.

When someone is making you unhappy, don't hold it in and just fight back. If you win one you'll break even, and if you win two you'll make a profit.

In peacetime, the emphasis is on bargaining and tug-of-war, but in troubled times, the one with the bigger fist holds the truth.

I wonder if there is anyone in Dajing who has more supporters behind him than him?

After spending all the money, Qiao Erlang immediately went to the palace. When Emperor Wu asked him casually, he immediately confessed everything.

He had promised the other party not to complain to His Majesty, but he had not promised not to say anything when His Majesty brought it up!

You can’t blame him for this!

As for the difficulties posed by that bunch of villains in the Ministry of Revenue, he really didn't take them seriously!

What does it matter if no one helps to clean up the account books? His Qiao family business is so big, the last thing they lack is people who know how to do the accounting!

What does it matter if no one is willing to stand up and collect the debt together?

He has his own guards, servants, and stewards!

It was not until this time that the officials of the Ministry of Revenue realized that this parachuted boss was not easy to fool, let alone control!

I can really complete the orders given by His Majesty without relying on myself!

If that is the case, is there any need for these petty officials to exist?

Colleagues’ heads suddenly turned to what the hell were they getting involved in?

The official positions in the imperial court are all filled to the hilt. Even the positions of Shangshu and Shilang can be filled at any time, not to mention that there are a large number of Jinshi candidates waiting to be selected!

If I were pulled out of this pit by Prince Consort Qiao, someone would immediately take the initiative to fill it without even a moment's hesitation!

Then what's the point of getting involved in the fight between the big guys?

The next morning, Qiao Jilang was surprised to find that his colleagues suddenly became enthusiastic!

Those who used to ignore him now come up to him, serve him tea and water, and even ask him if there is anything he needs.

He is not pretentious. Anyone who takes the initiative to curry favor with him will be sent out by him to act as a courier, and the payment will be made upon delivery.

As for what is inside, no one knows!

When they handed the brocade box to the rightful person, the owner's face suddenly turned ugly.

Despite this, no one refused to pay the silver obediently. However, seeing the other party's eyes that seemed to want to tear him apart, the silver that was taken back suddenly became hot to the touch!

They were so scared that they didn't know whether to leave or not!

Is there any justice in the world? It was obviously that damn Qiao Erlang who made the decision, but why are they the cannon fodder the ones who have to bear his anger?
