141. Chapter 141 People are stupid and rich in money, making things difficult
"Have you eaten?"
"have eaten!"
Qian Wubing's greeting came out of Qian Wubing's mouth like a common citizen. Qi Jie didn't think anything was wrong. He answered casually. After answering, he realized that something was wrong. The two of them faced each other for a moment, and then they both laughed.
Got up.
"I really don't believe it, Wu Bing, you are now the Zhenfu of the Zhenfu Department!" Qi Jie said with a smile: "I said, you are a bit of a Zhenfu, okay? At least you have to say "Qi Qian" slowly and calmly.
Husband, why do you want to see me?'"
"Stop talking nonsense, why don't we treat you as an outsider?" Qian Wubing snorted and sat down on the main seat. At this time, he seemed to see Mu Siniang and nodded slightly towards her.
She nodded and said nothing. The change in mentality did not happen in a moment. It was like Sun Qian felt that it was normal for Qian Wubing to have a few personal maids, but Qian Wubing felt that he was a bit extravagant.
Even though he is in a high position now, his mentality is only a little better than that of the little Imperial Guardsman last year, and he still has the mentality of a common man. However, when he is in this position,
After sitting here for a year and a half, he probably won't need anyone to tell him anything, and his behavior will gradually change. The so-called "moving energy nourishes the body" is nothing more than this.
Mu Siniang stood behind Qian Wubing conscientiously, which made Qi Jie frown for a moment. Qian Wubing was good at not treating him as an outsider, but your maid is too slutty. Is it okay to serve tea to your master?
Don’t you have any cleverness at all?
"I heard that your matter is not easy to handle? Have you followed the military lord to the military headquarters these days?" Since Qian Wubing didn't treat Qi Jie as an outsider, he naturally didn't mince words so much and asked directly.
"Brother Wu is quite enthusiastic!" Qi Jie said with some hesitation: "However, the people from the Ministry of War didn't buy Brother Wu's account at all. They finally found the rightful owner, but they said that I was not old enough to inherit the military position.
The standards ask me to wait until the second half of the year before coming back. Look, this is not a matter of one mile or two. Isn't it interesting to go back and forth?"
"Are you really too young?" Qian Wubing tilted his head and believed it. It seemed that he had not heard of such a regulation. However, the Ministry of War was not familiar with it, so maybe there was such a regulation.
"What's the excuse? It's all about money!" Qi Jie said angrily: "I've already inquired about it. The doctor in the Ministry of War has five hundred taels and the chief has two hundred taels. For this matter, with this market price, I will give you the money."
When it arrives, if they don’t accept it, it’s obviously because it’s too little!”
Qian Wubing took a breath of cold air. For a small thousand households, the officials of the Ministry of War dared to collect hundreds of taels. How many thousands of households did the Ming Dynasty have? The money collectors were still not merciful.
Whoever said that Jingguan'er was poor must be angry with him.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do? Let's agree first. I don't have enough money recently, so I don't have any money to lend you!" Qian Wubing nodded and said with a smile.
"How can I? I, Qijiabao, do not lack this little money, but I just can't swallow it. My matter is stuck in the hands of the boss. I thought, Wu Bing, you are not a Jinyiwei
Yes, find a few people to check him out, or scare him. I think he still dares to open his mouth like a lion. I have to make him understand that I am not some stupid rich man from the countryside! I would rather give this money to nobody.
I don’t want to take advantage of him even if he’s sick of you!”
"Investigate the head of the Ministry of War!?" Qian Wubing pondered. He didn't expect that his first job when he took over the Nanzhen Fusi would be like this. Naturally, he wouldn't want Qi Jie's money, but he can help with this help.
He really won't refuse.
"It's not really about investigating, just scaring him!" Qi Jie said with a smile.
"If that's the case, it's not difficult to handle. If you really want to investigate a principal, it's not a sure thing, but it's a bit tricky!" Upon hearing this, Qian Wubing felt relieved, "Okay, it's you who asked him out.
Or should we go to your door?"
"It's not necessary for Wu Yi to do it yourself. If Wu Yi does it himself, that would be too much for him. You can just lend me two of his subordinates. The one who looks murderous at first glance is not easy to provoke!"
"Sir, let me go!" Mu Siniang said dumbly at this time. She knew now that there were only a few people Qian Wubing could trust and use. Yan Qi was by Li Feng'er's side, and Yan Jiu wanted to protect him.
It seems that Qian Wubing is the most suitable person to do this job. As for scaring people, huh, after putting on a mask, can't you scare a helpless little official?
"There are no rules, why are you causing trouble?" If it weren't for the owner, Qi Jie would have scolded this stupid maid who had no rules. When the adults are talking, are you servants like you free to interrupt?
What made his jaw drop was that Qian Wubing thought about it and actually agreed to the stupid maid's suggestion: "Bring a few old soldiers from the Zhenfu Division over. They are lifeless. It's the best way to scare people! It's best.
Don't hurt the boss."
"I am sensible!" Mu Siniang nodded, turned around and went out. Not long after, he heard his voice calling Yan Qi from outside. He was looking for Yan Qi to ask for someone.
"Wu Yi, she, is she okay?"
Qi Jie stammered, saying that he was looking for someone to scare people, not someone to be cute. This maid looked so cute and cute, was she going to scare people, or was she being scared?
"It should be possible, I want to know too!" Qian Wubing said with a strange expression on his face, somewhat ambiguously.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, it has to be pulled out for a ride. No matter what Yan Qi says, it's still not as clear as when he sends this girl out to run a few errands. However, if this girl is really capable, then of course she can use it with confidence.
, if this were not the case, for the sake of Mu Zhenfu's favor, it would be no big deal to raise an extra person.
Qian Wubing couldn't compare to Qi Jie, an idler. He sat with him for a while and then went to the Yamen. However, Qi Jie was a little restless waiting for Nanzhen Fusi to send someone over to deal with this silly and cute maid.
He had no confidence at all, he just hoped that at least the people sent by Nanzhen Fusi would match the intimidating image he had in mind.
Fortunately, after waiting anxiously for a while, Nanzhen Fusi did not disappoint him. Several Jinyi guards came. The cold smell on their bodies made even him shudder when he saw them, and they looked at him expressionlessly.
If you stand still and don't speak, you will be like a few ghost soldiers climbing up to the earth.
"How to scare that person!" Mu Siniang looked at the people in front of her and nodded with some satisfaction. These Jin Yiwei didn't know what explanation they got. After meeting the two of them, Mu Siniang stood silently.
Behind the mother's back, they obviously know who to listen to.
"At noon, I invite the boss out for a drink. You guys wait in the restaurant. When he takes the table, I will introduce you to him. Uh, introduce these brothers, and then pick up the brothers behind you.
Tell me about the scary things in their yamen, and I guess it will be settled later!"
"Is it that simple?"
"Well, it's that simple!"
"Then let's go!"
...
Chen Dong leaned on his chair and hummed a tune in a happy mood. The Chinese New Year had just started, and there wasn't much going on in the Ministry of War. Although in Datong, it took a long time to calculate the military exploits, battle losses, etc. after a big battle.
There's more to the story, but it's none of his business. The doctor will definitely not take advantage of him in such a risky matter.
The Civil Service Department of the Ministry of War is probably the most powerful department in the Ministry of War. It is responsible for the atlas of each province, the military officers’ merit narration, verification, rewards and punishments, pensions, and military inspections and tests. However, this
There are big and small jobs, too. Relatively speaking, this military attache test is a relatively low-paying job. He worked hard to get this job and spent a lot of money. He really doesn't have much interest in doing such a low-paying job.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the closed room opposite with some envy. It was the doctor and another chief who were calculating their military achievements. You could imagine it with your toes. How much oil and water was involved, but he was a newcomer and had just arrived. Obviously,
I was excluded from their circle by these old people.
Forget it, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. He sighed, picked up the file in his hand, and read it. After the new year, a few hundred families would inherit military positions. This oil and water was really ugly, but it was normal. He accepted the money and did it.
Things didn't go wrong at all. A clerk who was in charge of commanding the officials also reported to him. However, he didn't have the guts to make things difficult for others. Hey, he was too small and didn't have much oil and water, and he couldn't eat the oil and water that was there.
, this official is quite miserable.
But fortunately, there is a Qianhu in Datong Prefecture who has also submitted documents. The official of Qianhu is just right, not too big and not too small. If it is difficult, there will not be too big consequences. Moreover, the money and water are better than those of several hundreds of households.
It was a lot. If this errand was completed, he estimated that next month, he would be able to add another concubine. After all, it would be no problem to get a thousand or two thousand taels of silver.
Hey, it’s strange, why hasn’t that stupid country bumpkin from Qianhu come here today? Wasn’t my hint the day before yesterday not enough? It seems that these country bumpkins from remote places, none of the locals from the capital have any advice or rules.
I don’t understand!
"Sir, Sir Qi wants to see you!"
As if he heard what he was saying in his heart, as soon as he had this idea, the official's report came from the door.
"No, let him go to the doctor. I can't handle his matter here. I've told him many times. This man is really ignorant. A countryman is a countryman. He has no discernment at all!"
Chen Dong said casually, if a person like this is stretched out for a few days, he will know how powerful he is. May I ask to see the doctor? The doctor is very busy and happy at this time, so it would be strange to pay attention to him.
"Sir!" After a while, the clerk came back: "Sir Qi said that today is not about official business, but because I admire you as a person, so I specially invited you to a banquet at the Zuihua Tower in the capital, and I asked you to take advantage of your busy schedule to enjoy it!"
"Oh!" Chen Dong was delighted. This elm-brained brain was enlightened. It seems that this kid had eaten a lot everywhere. He finally knew that when it was time to bleed, he still had to draw some blood. Zuihualou, well, the place was chosen well.
, I heard that the cheapest table anywhere costs fifty taels of silver per table.
"Well, I understand. Tell him to see if I have time. If I'm not busy, I will go!" He ordered with satisfaction.
