As a playboy, Gao Chong did not have very good talent and knowledge, and with his own skills, he would never have thought of joining the Imperial College.

But now Imperial College can enter as long as I have money. Gaomingcheng has been the governor of Henan for three years, and I have made countless money. It is easy to send my grandson to Imperial College to study.

Now Gaoming City is transferred to the Ministry of Revenue to serve as a servant. If Emperor Hongzhi does not settle the accounts after the autumn, with his ability to do business and money, Gao Chong may be able to make a flaw in his career and become a flaw in his career.

The appointment time was three days later. Hong Zhuo specially changed the meeting place from "Tingshuilou" to a restaurant called "Huainanju", mainly to facilitate Chen Xi to make an appointment.

Because Gao Chong learned that the "little guy" was now the top scorer in high school, of course he wanted to have a relationship with Chen Xi.

Hong Zhuo was born in a noble family and paid great attention to making friends with the children of officials from the beginning. This is also the reason why he went with Gao Chong and others after he arrived in Tingzhou Prefecture. In the officialdom, interests outweigh the principle. It is estimated that Hong Zhuo regarded Gao Chong's harm to him as a spur to his life...

Chen Xi thought about it and felt that **, the outsider who was not beaten, felt that you were magnanimous without taking revenge against your enemies, but you, the person involved, didn't care.

Chen Xi did not take this matter in his heart. He didn't want to attend the banquet. At worst, he could find an excuse to justify it. But that afternoon, two old acquaintances came together, and the intention was not good. The leader was Jiang Liwei, followed by Yu Niang in men's clothing.

He would not go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. After the Ministry of Rites' Examination Examination and the Treasury Grain Stealing Case, Jiang Liwei never met Chen Xi again. He was busy with noble people, so Chen Xi would naturally not disturb him. However, since Jiang Liwei came in person this time, something must have happened.

"I would like to remind Mr. Chen that it is best to go farther from the Gao surname, otherwise you will be ruined!" Jiang Liwei didn't say nonsense, and his tone was almost intimidating.

Chen Xi understood as soon as he heard this, Liu Daxia did not want to keep a borer like Gaoming City in the Ministry of Revenue, so he appointed Jiang Liwei to investigate the evidence of Gaoming City's crime. Jiang Liwei was ordered to do it. Liu Daxia might go to Emperor Hongzhi to file a lawsuit at any time, so that Gaoming City could not afford it.

But the problem is that Zhu Youzhang had known that he had improper employment, and now he wanted to protect his face as an emperor. As a minister, you may not be suitable to expose the emperor's scars at this time, right?

Chen Xidao: "I don't quite understand Mr. Jiang's intention."

"not understand?"

Jiang Liwei sneered, "The man surnamed Gao has a close relationship with Mr. Chen. He was promoted to the governor of Henan. The Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce has made great efforts behind the scenes. I am afraid that there is still something about privately entrusted to you now?"

Jiang Liwei actually pointed the finger at the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce again.

Chen Xi had to admit that during the reign of Gaoming City, it was the period of the rise and prosperity of the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce. The Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce helped the prefectural government to provide floods, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and even gave gifts to the prefectural government government. However, this was just a helplessness as a merchant, not a sincere bribery.

After Gaomingcheng took office in Henan, he also thought about developing the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce to his rule, but because of the long mountains and rivers between Fujian and Henan, Gaomingcheng changed to cultivate local forces. Since then, the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce and Gaomingcheng has been cut off.

Even so, it cannot change the fact that the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce once used by Gaoming City.

Chen Xidao: "What do you think about Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Liwei thought Chen Xi was shocked by him and continued to sneer: "The Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce took out evidence of Gaoming City's crime, and the court may be willing to blame him. If he is obsessed with it... The Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce will only bury Gaoming City. At that time, even Mr. Chen will find it difficult to preserve it."

Chen Xi sighed in his heart.

Jiang Liwei is too impulsive to do things and is eager to make contributions. But if you are too impatient and do things, it is very easy to make a bad thing. I am afraid that Liu Daxia would not ask Jiang Liwei to investigate the evidence of corruption and bribery in Gaoming City and then sue the emperor. Instead, Jiang Liwei secretly investigated and prepared to eradicate Gaoming City, but Jiang Liwei understood the wrong meaning.

Jiang Liwei became a martial arts Jinshi in the sixth year of Hongzhi. It only took two or three years for a rapid climb to rise in the past two or three years, which created his impetuous mentality.

Chen Xi felt that Jiang Li was not good at doing things, but he was not very good at dealing with people. In a word, he did not understand the doctrine of the mean at all.

Chen Xidao: "I'm afraid I can't get enough of it. The Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce has no connection with the doctor Gao. If it weren't for the connection... Mr. Jiang would rather find evidence."

Jiang Li is so angry that he heard that he is so angry that I asked you to hand over the evidence. Now you ask me to find evidence. Isn’t this sincerely embarrassing me?

"Young Master Chen isn't afraid that I will blame you?"

Jiang Liwei habitually threatened Chen Xi again, but when he said it, he realized that Chen Xi was different from the past. With the identity of Chen Xi’s right middle Yun and a lecturer in the East Palace, without the instruction of Emperor Hongzhi, even if he has been promoted to the Northern Fufu Department, Chen Xi would not be able to do so. "Okay, then you can wait and see!"

After Jiang Liwei finished speaking, she left in anger.

Yu Niang did not leave with Jiang Liwei, and looked at Chen Xi thoughtfully without any anxious expression on her face.

Chen Xi asked, "Does Yu Niang want to persuade me for Mr. Jiang?"

Yu Niang smiled and said, "I don't have this intention. I also feel that Lord Jiang is too impatient for doing things. On the contrary, Lord Shen... seems to be a person who does big things. No matter what he faces, he can be calm and composed."

"Is that true?" Chen Xi smiled bitterly, "I am still having a headache and how to deal with Mr. Jiang. Unexpectedly, Yu Niang would compliment me like this."

Yu Niang said: "Some things are to be told to Lord Shen. Legend has it that Gao Langzhong has accumulated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for decades, but no one knows where he hid the silver. If he could raise the money, it would be a great achievement to the national treasury. Perhaps Lord Jiang is anxious because of this... If Lord Shen can help the court to seize this case, he will definitely be promoted..."

Chen Xi shrugged and said, "Even if it is found, I'm probably not me who is Gao Sheng?"

Yu Niang was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, it wasn’t just as Chen Xi said?

Chen Xi is a Hanlin official, who is a scholar. The path to promotion is Hanlin Academy, Zhanshi Mansion, Temple Office, Ministry of Rites, and the promotion path of six ministries or local officials. As the saying goes, if you are not in your position and do not plan your own affairs, Chen Xi is a Hanlin official, and there is no reason to investigate the case for the Ministry of Revenue. Even if the whole story is found, it will not affect Chen Xi's promotion path unless Liu Daxia really transfers Chen Xi to the Ministry of Revenue.

But Chen Xi was the Eastern Palace lecturer appointed by Emperor Hongzhi, and Liu Daxia did not use his power.

Chen Xi investigated the case at most to make wedding clothes for others, which was not good for him. Instead, it would be difficult for him to take it out due to the relationship between Gaoming City and the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Yu Niang was experienced and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "It is unknown what happened in the future. Shangshu Liu admired Lord Shen very much!"

Chen Xi curled his lips. Liu Daxia has admired more people, which spring onion am I? Why can Liu Daxia be promoted to appreciate it?

Chen Xi probably expected that Yu Niang would report to Liu Daxia when she returned, so he couldn't refuse too directly. She thought for a while and said, "Do your best."

Yu Niang nodded and said again: "Doctor Gao Chong's grandson Gao Chong has often appeared in Yanle Hutong in the capital recently. He is generous. Lord Shen may be able to start with him."

Chen Xi thought to himself, what does Yu Niang mean? The Huanghuafang where he lived before was close to Dongsi Pailou, there was Dongyuan and Bensi Hutong. The so-called Bensi Hutong is the Jiaofang. There are also Goulang Hutong and Yanle Hutong. The similar ones include Magami Hutong, Song Hutong and Fanzi Hutong, which are where the wind and moon gather.

However, Yu Niang obviously didn't want to explain in detail, so she said goodbye after saluting respectfully.

Chen Xi returned to the room and thought for a while. Yu Niang said that there was a sound outside the string. Telling him that Gao Chong often went to and from places of love and mist, it was equivalent to telling him about Gao Chong's whereabouts, but what's the use of knowing Gao Chong's whereabouts? Unless it is...

Kidnapping?

Tackle Gao Chong and ask Gaoming City for ransom!

This is the only grandson in Gaoming City, and he will definitely submit. The court used this as a clue to investigate the place where the silver was hidden in Gaoming City and raised hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that he had been greedy for many years...

Chen Xi thought to himself: "As Yu Niang's identity and position, it shouldn't be so bold. Liu Daxia is upright and doesn't bother using this method. That's probably the bad idea that Jiang Liwei came up with."

Jiang Liwei was stern in front of Shen Xi, and he gave him a blow. Then Yu Niang sent out sweet dates and told him that he could make contributions by using this, and tactfully proposed the idea of ​​kidnapping to facilitate the investigation of the dirty silver hidden in Gaoming City.

After success, the contribution is Jiang Liwei, but the failure is... I didn't tell you that you would kidnap people. You are the ones who are tied up. As an official in the court, he knows the law and breaks the law. He will be more serious!

Originally, Chen Xi didn't plan to meet Gao Chong, but now it seems that he has to go there, but it is not to kidnap Gao Chong, but to "protect" him.

What Chen Xi was most afraid of was that Jiang Liwei tied up people by himself and finally put the matter on him.

It is really good to say that the idea of ​​tying people is very good. Gaomingcheng is old and has embezzled and accepted so much money for why he embezzled and accepted so much money, and it is not so that his descendants can live a good life after death? Now he is Gao Chong, who is tied up, and Gao Mingcheng will definitely panic. It is not impossible to transport a large amount of money to the capital to redeem people.

But this is not the right way, it sounds very unpleasant! So Jiang Liwei thought of pretending to use the matter of tying someone else. He also knew that Chen Xi had designed to kill Song Xier when he was in Fuzhou, and there was someone in his hand. Jiang Liwei first thought of Chen Xi, who used Chen Xi as a puppet to move forward and retreat freely.

Chen Xi thought to himself, Jiang Liwei, Jiang Liwei, you underestimate me too much.

After thinking things through, Chen Xi also had an idea... His position was exactly the opposite of Jiang Liwei. He wanted to "maintain" Gaoming City and Gao Chong, so that the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce could be safe and sound, and he also had a deeper intention.

Chen Xi pretended to be at a loss and wrote a letter that night. The letter was written to Hui Niang, who was in Tingzhou. Chen Xi knew that since Jiang Liwei wanted to use him this time, he would definitely stare at his every move, and the content of the letter would definitely be learned by Jiang Liwei.

Rather than saying that this is a letter to Hui Niang, it is better to say that it was written for Jiang Liwei. Jiang Liwei wants to use him, and he can also use Jiang Liwei.

After Chen Xi finished writing the letter, he did not ask Song Xiaocheng to send it to Minsheng Teahouse, but asked him to leave the city early the next morning and pretend to send the letter. However, after getting on the boat in Tongzhou, he would find a way to get it back to the capital.

With Chen Xi’s understanding of Jiang Liwei, as long as the letter is in Song Xiaocheng, Jiang Liwei’s attention will naturally be placed on this letter. Chen Xi can secretly use methods to arrange the protection of Gao Chong properly.

Gao Chong first came to the capital, and his love and love was so happy. He never thought that he had already become the target of others' struggle.

Even Chen Xi himself did not expect that he would care about the noble safety of doing evil.
