Before meeting Tao Weiran, Chu Qing had never thought about winning over this guy, let alone his younger brother.
After meeting Tao Weiran, he didn't think so either.
But in the end, Chu Qing said it out of nowhere.
Chu Qing never thought of threatening Tao Weiran.
But Tao Weiran took the initiative to ask if his body would be exposed in the wilderness if he didn't seek refuge with Chu Qing.
Chu Qing naturally told Wang Tongtong to be prepared to silence him at any time.
Everything happened so naturally and everything was so logical.
Until Tao Weiran left the Qianqiying Yamen Office, Chu Qing thought this was quite funny.
Tao Weiran is a smart person, a truly smart person.
This guy's heart will only be sold to the winner. If Qianqiying and Zhang Songling fight and fall into a disadvantage, this guy will seek refuge with Zhang Songling as soon as possible.
Tao Weiran is the epitome of the official officials of the Dachang Dynasty. There is no good or bad, no good or evil. He is just an official, a pure official, very pure and pure.
Tao Ruolin, Chen Yan and others came back, and everyone gathered together. Chu Qing told Zhang Songling's story and at the same time proposed the concept of "monopoly".
They were all smart people. Even if they didn't know the word "monopoly", they knew its meaning, but they didn't make a fuss. They had obviously known about this situation for a long time.
If the whole body is involved, if Zhang Songling is really involved, other "oligarchs" will definitely be attacked.
If Qianqiying was investigating merchants in the name of attacking the Zhang family, it would not arouse anyone's alarm.
However, if the Zhang family is attacked in the name of investigating merchants, outsiders will think that Qianqiying is trying to scare the monkeys. Especially the family members and courtiers who control other industries will definitely unite to deal with Qianqiying, and Chu Qing will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Different from Chu Qing, Tao Ruolin and others believe that food should be eaten one bite at a time, and the steps should not be too big. They should first collect the taxes and debits from the merchants in Beijing. As for Zhang Songling, they should not cause unnecessary problems at the moment. At worst, they will bypass the labor and materials store and collect other taxes first.
Merchants' tax money.
Chu Qing is not as impatient as he used to be in everything. He listens to people's advice to eat enough and do the things in front of him first.
Sitting around the campfire, Fu San roasted a fat chicken.
Chen Yan tore off a chicken wing and handed it to Chu Qing: "Collect the merchants' taxes and money first, and let's talk about Zhang Songling and the materials later. Don't make any extraneous matters."
"You don't need to tell me." Chu Qing took the chicken wings and handed them to Tao Ruolin.
Tao Ruolin also advised: "Just tolerate it for a while. If you don't like him, you can deal with him in the future."
Chu Qing laughed loudly: "Then it's necessary. The right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Duo Duo, can deal with him. That's when the old lady wakes up and has a big nose and a fistful of hands."
Tao Ruolin, who was about to open her mouth to bite the chicken wings, closed her mouth and returned the chicken wings to Chu Qing with a look of disgust.
"You are so disgusting."
Chu Qing's face was full of embarrassment: "I also learned from my third brother."
Fu San, who was chewing on the chicken butt, said expressionlessly: "Yes, I learned it all from my childhood."
Bihua's face was full of admiration: "The third brother is really knowledgeable and talented."
Chu Qing: "..."
Everyone was laughing and joking, and even the taciturn Jiang Yuesheng told how many merchants he and his people had tormented.
When it was almost midnight, Tao Ruolin left with Bihua. Recently, she was too lazy to go back to Tao's Zhuangzi and lived in Tao's Mansion in the city.
Five days later, merchants from Beijing went to Jingzhao Mansion to pay taxes one after another, and everything developed as planned.
Chu Qing didn't dare to go crazy. Everyone really stopped checking the construction materials shop. But Chu Qing wasn't crazy, but someone did, and it was Zhang Songling.
On this day, Chu Qing had just returned to the mansion, and his disciples said that Zhang Mansion had sent an invitation and invited Chu Qing to a banquet tonight.
"You really don't take me seriously."
Outside the Chu Mansion, Chu Qing looked at the invitation in his hand and was very angry.
Normally, invitations to invite people to a banquet are sent a few days in advance, and they do not say that they are sent on the same day so that you can go on the same day.
For example, I was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night. I got a call from a buddy. The phone was very noisy. He said, "Hey, I'm in a certain nightclub. I'm waiting for you. Hurry up."
Whenever you receive a call like this, just ignore it, just turn off your phone and go back to sleep, because they don’t take you seriously at all. Maybe you drank too much, maybe you feel there are too few people and you’re not high enough, or maybe you don’t have money to pay for it.
, if I really respect you or treat you as a friend, I won’t think of looking for you in the middle of the game. I can just hang up the phone and continue to sleep. Don’t rush to be a clown.
Chu Qing was angry in his heart. Although he wanted to curse, he still kept his sense and looked back at the several Thousand Cavalry Camp detectives: "Let's check if anyone else besides me is going to the Zhang Mansion for the banquet tonight."
Because of the assassination, Chen Yan told several skilled people in the government office to follow Chu Qing every day, three of them openly and six secretly.
One of the Tanma said: "Sir, Zhang Songling did entertain other people, most of whom were merchants from the capital and wealthy businessmen."
Chu Qing looked at the invitation again and cursed secretly.
Not only was it short notice, no one else's name was written on the invitation.
"He really doesn't use me as the deputy commander of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion as dry food."
Fu San asked: "Master, are you going?"
"Go, why don't you go." Chu Qing sneered: "If you don't go, Mr. Zhang, you will think that this young master doesn't give him face."
Tan Ma looked hesitant and said, "Sir, you'd better not go to the banquet."
"Why?"
"Because...because Zhang Songling has been bragging to others recently, saying...that the deputy commander of Qianqiying is not very good. I am afraid that he, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, would not check the materials shop in Beijing. If you go,
He will definitely brag again, depending on your temper..."
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Master Jiang knows that you will be angry and won't let us tell you."
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't blame this detective for hiding it from him. The outside world thought that he was the deputy commander, but these detectives in Qianqiying knew the truth. Chen Yan and Jiang Yuesheng were the first and second in command.
He will definitely hide it from himself.
"Indeed, if you let me know, I will be angry, and I am angry now."
He said he was angry, but Chu Qing was not angry anymore.
"Brother Qiu really surprised the society." Chu Qing chuckled: "Enter the mansion, change clothes, and go to Zhang Mansion for a banquet later."
As early as a few days ago, Chu Qing had talked to Qiu Wanshan. Qiu Wanshan said at that time that Zhang Songling would most likely become famous because of Chu Qing.
Chu Qing didn't take it too seriously. Although he didn't refute Qiu Wanshan, he felt that Zhang Songling was so old that he shouldn't be so boring. If he wanted to become famous by stepping on the deputy commander of Qianqiying, he would have to drink a lot of fake wine.
Facts have proved that Qiu Wanshan's judgment was never wrong.
After returning to the mansion, Chu Qing changed clothes and took a shower. After cleaning up, he took Fu San to Zhang's mansion.
