Delicate Flower Chapter 226: Learn
What does Gu Chang mean by looking at him like this?
You know that someone from the Peng family has been in contact with the third prince and helping him with affairs, so you suspect that the two hundred thousand taels of silver are the work of the Peng family?
The Peng family will not bear this responsibility!
Master Peng coughed heavily and said with a stern face: "Master Wu and Tao Juren are both right. Two hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. No matter who is here, it will be difficult for them to come up with it. , and how it was transported to the capital is also a mystery. If Mr. Sun has found something, Mr. Gu please make it clear. Everyone is sitting in the same boat now. If the boat capsizes, it will be no good to anyone. For example, Song Si As the master said, time is tight and this is not the time for polite greetings. Let’s just say whatever you have to say!”
Gu Chang has always been suspicious of the Peng family.
Because only the Peng family has the financial and material resources, but looking at Mr. Peng's appearance at this time, he felt that he was taking it for granted. Although two hundred thousand taels of silver is a lot of money, everyone here can really afford it.
The main thing is how to transport it into the capital.
If it’s not the Wu family or the Peng family, then whose family is it?
Sun Gao found out clearly that the money entered Beijing from the Grand Canal in Suzhou.
The Song family is not so generous, and the Pei family does not have such means.
Who is it?
Gu Chang has a headache.
He simply said: "I just want the outcome of the Third Prince's matter. As for what everyone thinks, I am young and can't compare to you who come and go in big storms. I don't have any good ideas at the moment. Wei Sanfu also thinks about it. It's the same idea. We plan to stay here until after the Dragon Boat Festival. If there is no news after the Dragon Boat Festival, then we can only report whatever we find out."
When the time comes, no one from Jiangnan’s aristocratic family will be left behind.
Especially the Song family.
Their family has both a boat and money.
Mr. Song Si couldn't stop breaking out in cold sweat.
He stood up immediately, bowed his hands to everyone present, and hissed: "Brothers, please save the lives of our Song family. This is a matter of killing the Nine Clan!"
The relationship between the Jiangnan aristocratic families is intricate, and it would not be possible to punish the Nine Clans, but if the Song family falls, I am afraid that every household will be implicated.
Neither Mr. Peng nor Tao Qing spoke.
Although they also belong to the south, they are Fujian and Guangdong, so they can stay out of the matter.
But Gu Chang remembered the domineering nature of the Peng family, so how could he let the Peng family off so easily?
He said calmly: "This money is either transported by river or by sea. You should think carefully about how I can help you! As for me, I can only help you get here. No matter how much it is, I don't have the ability. ”
Master Peng glanced at Gu Chang gently and half-closed his eyes again.
With the Song family at the front, he is not afraid of this.
Tao Qing has always been dissatisfied with the Peng family's isolation. Seeing this, he thought for a moment and asked Gu Chang: "If it is really found out that this matter is related to the Jiangnan family, the Shibo Department..."
Gu Chang couldn't help but give Tao Qing a thumbs up in his mind, thinking to himself, no wonder the Tao family can rise so quickly in Tao Qing's hands. Tao Qing is really capable, and he dragged the Peng family down with just one sentence. water.
He said: "The Jiangnan family can easily give away two hundred thousand taels of silver to the third prince, which shows how wealthy the Jiangnan family is. The emperor just rebuilt Xiyuan a few days ago, and he is in urgent need of money, so he is forcing the Ministry of Household Affairs to find a way! Mr. Sun was still complaining before that the people in Jinyiwei and Dongxi Factory were becoming more and more derelict in their duties. Even such a big thing as the assassination of the second prince could not be investigated. Is it because he did not take the second prince seriously? Or was he afraid of offending the two princes? , in the middle and Xini? After all, it has been two years since the incident, and for such a big matter, the investigation was still secretive. Many courtiers did not know what happened."
The implication is that the emperor may be planning to use this matter to extort money from the Jiangnan family.
This is not impossible.
Why else would Wang Qibao be sent out of Beijing again?
Wang Qibao is someone who can enter and leave the emperor's palace at will without notifying him.
Everyone present looked at each other, except Pei Yan, who lowered his eyelids and showed no expression.
Tao Qing had always felt that Pei Yan was so wise that he almost seemed like a monster, but seeing him like this made him feel calmer.
If the emperor wants to extort money from the Jiangnan family, then the Fujian and Guangdong families can't escape. He can just follow the Pei family - he will donate money if the Pei family donates money, and if the Pei family doesn't donate, they won't donate either. The premise is that they follow the Pei family closely and do not fall behind.
He regretted it a little.
The Tao family should marry the Pei family as soon as possible.
You can’t marry a girl, but it’s not bad to marry a daughter-in-law.
What's more, the Pei family has few girls, so they pay special attention to the girl's family.
The only ones in their family who are not engaged are the fourth and fifth young ladies.
The fifth lady is the daughter of Pei Yan's brother, and the Tao family must find someone who can read.
The eldest son of the second brother's family or the third child of his family?
Tao Qing thought about it in his heart.
Everyone has their own ideas, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually becomes audible.
The laughter and voices from outside could be heard faintly, making the hall seem even quieter, but it also reminded them of what was happening outside.
Pei Yan summoned A Ming to ask: "You have to be careful, don't let others rush into the female family members. The lecture meeting in Zhaoming Temple is hosted by our Pei family."
Pei Yan had already said this once early in the morning.
A Ming said hurriedly: "Third Master, don't worry. People from outside can't enter the meditation room on the east side even if they have a name card. We have sent several young masters from the Song family and Peng family who know them to be on duty at the door. They won't Let them wander around."
Most of the Zen rooms in Zhaoming Temple have been booked by the Pei family, especially the east side of the Zen room, where all the female family members rest.
Pei Yan nodded, still feeling a little uneasy.
Yesterday, he and Yu Tang broke up on bad terms. Of course he knew that she was heartless. No matter how big a deal she was, she would forget about it after just one night's rest. Just like before, she was using the banner of the Pei family to pretend to be powerful. If he catches her, she can act like nothing happened when they meet again.
She should be happily visiting Zhaoming Temple with his nieces today, right?
The thought flashed through his mind and he asked A Ming again: "Have the Wei family and the Wu family gone up the mountain?"
Although it is explained that the genius is a lecture meeting, it stands to reason that the Wei family and the Wu family should have sent people to clean and decorate the wing room for them to stay in advance, and sent people to guard it.
A Ming really doesn’t know about this.
He was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "I'm going to ask for details."
Then he ran away quickly.
When he came back after finding out more, there was an argument in the hall for some reason, and Pei Yanze and Tao Qingfu were talking about something.
He thought for a while and walked quietly to Pei Yan's side, but he heard Pei Yan saying to Tao Qing: "Don't listen to Gu Chaoyang's scaremongering. There is a way to solve everything. Since the Emperor We are short of money, so we might as well use money to solve the problem. I can still talk to Wang Qibao. Since Yin Mingyuan asked his wife to bring me a message asking for sweet and sour fish and Dongpo pork, we must go there. Suzhou. If the matter in Huai'an is urgent, you can go to Huai'an first, and I will go to Suzhou alone."
While speaking, he may have felt A Ming coming over. He raised his head and immediately changed the subject and asked A Ming: "Are both families here?"
Tao Qing thought he had something important to do and was waiting nearby.
A Ming swallowed nervously, and then whispered: "Here he is! He was cleaning the side room. When he saw me, he went over to ask. Thank you, and I also gave you two red seals."
Pei Yan waved his hand, as if it was a trivial matter, and continued: "Did they go to say hello to Mrs. Yu?"
A Ming said: "I went. It was said that Mrs. Yu and Miss Yu were both copying Buddhist scriptures. Mrs. Yu said a few words to them and then served tea to send the guests away. They planned to go to Mrs. Yu after they finished cleaning. Say hello."
"Didn't you go out to play?" Pei Yan frowned and his face tensed up, as if it was going to rain at any time in June.
Tomorrow is the lecture meeting. Vendors who heard about it have already set up stalls outside Zhaoming Temple, and there are even some juggling.
A Ming scratched her head and wondered.
Didn’t go out to play?
Does it mean Mrs. Yu?
At first glance, Mrs. Yu looks quiet and gentle, how could she run out to play like a little girl.
But in front of Tao Qing, if he asked such a question, he would be laughed at because the third master's personal book boy couldn't even handle a small thing.
He could only bite the bullet and said at a loss: "Miss Yu is not feeling well, Mrs. Yu will definitely not go out!"
"Miss Yu, are you feeling unwell?" Pei Yan stared at A Ming with a cold light.
A Ming couldn't help but shudder.
He rarely saw Pei Yan like this.
If you lose your temper in front of outsiders, you can't hide it even if you don't say it.
A Ming said hurriedly: "I just heard it from my sister in Lao An's courtyard. I'm going to ask someone if they have hired a doctor? What kind of medicine has been prescribed?"
Pei Yan was surprised to find that he was too excited.
If Miss Yu was really seriously ill, someone in charge would have reported to him long ago and returned to the city to ask for a doctor. They would not have just invited the doctor brought by the Pei family to see her.
He let out a long breath, feeling that his chest was not as clogged as before, and said: "Then go to Miss Yu's place and have a look~IndoMTL.com~ and tell me when you come back."
Pei Yan's tone was very indifferent, but secretly he was thinking, was it because he was angry with me yesterday?
He thought of the back he saw when he left yesterday.
That little girl has always been very angry. She must have been upset when he was scolded like that, and it was possible that she was angry.
But she is also a bit too stingy.
It was just a joke to tease her, but she took it seriously!
Pei Yan was unhappy, but felt a little guilty for no reason.
Just go and have a look, so as not to make your popularity worse.
After all, she is a little girl, which means she is lively, cheerful, open-minded and forthright, but compared to a real boy, she is still very squeamish.
Thinking of this, Pei Yan snorted coldly and told A Ming: "Go back quickly!"
Ah Ming felt that she had missed the mark and she didn't dare to ask or think more, so she ran out of the hall like flying.
Pei Yan looked dissatisfied.
A Ming has been following him since he was a child, but he still behaves like a petty person.
He shook his head in his mind and looked up to see Tao Qing's playful eyes.
Pei Yan was stunned.
Tao Qing has said: "Miss Yu? Who is it? Is she a relative of your family? We are all at a critical moment of life and death. Are you still thinking about other people's illnesses? Tell me, should I do it for your sake?" Come on, send someone to say hello to Mrs. Yu?"
