How many days will it take to report to Liushemen?

Fan Xiaodao took Li Hongxiao to visit the capital and spent several days playing at several attractions.

For Li Hongxiao, she had no interest in shopping and traveling. In contrast, she prefers to play with flowers, plants and vegetable gardens at home. After she came to the capital, she quit the two old mothers and took over these jobs by herself.

Putting down the knife in your hand and picking up the knife for cooking is a kind of courage and a kind of tempering.

These things were a luxury for her in the past.

Now it has become a reality, she enjoys this kind of life very much.

After Fan Xiaodao and Li Hongxiao came back, Li Qingniu did not meet guests at home, but went to a small courtyard he rented outside, which made the family much more leisurely. Originally, when the prospective prince entered Beijing, the people in the capital had already prepared generous gifts and prepared to come and make some contact.

However, the fight between Fan Xiaodao and the prince soon spread throughout the capital.

These people quickly put away the gifts and watched.

After all, speculation requires costs.

It's not the money for a few gifts, but their political costs.

Once you enter this circle, you must do everything possible to protect the interests of the circle.

A mistake in taking sides is the biggest crisis for politicians.

Therefore, before the palace made a statement, the prince and the prospective prince fought, and before the conclusion was made, they all chose to wait and see.

However, this did not stop a person.

This is also Fan Xiaodao’s old acquaintance - Yushi Peng.

He brought generous gifts.

Fan Xiaodao was practicing qigong in the yard. When he heard that a guest had come, he welcomed him in. At first, Yushi Peng was surprised that no one came to visit here, and he couldn't help but scold, "I think there will be many people in your family recently, so I waited for two days to see you. Unexpectedly, these guys are all fence-bearers. When they see you fighting with the prince, they dare not come, for fear of offending the prince."

"Then you dare to come?"

Censor Peng said: "Why don't you dare? We were in Jinling, and we had a relationship of "water". I am a person with a clear grudge and a straightforward person, so I offended many people. It is not the fate of being an official in the capital, but it is more suitable to find a place with a high mountain and an emperor far away to be a prefect and a county."

Fan Xiaodao had to smile bitterly.

Censor Peng asked curiously, "Is it really Xu Miaozi's business?"

"What do you think?"

Censor Peng said, "That little girl fell in love with you at the beginning. After all, we are also from Jinling. I don't believe you say you molested her and beat her to death. However, if you rekindle your old love with her in the prince's mansion, it will be lively."

Fan Xiaodao said angrily, "You really don't mind watching the fun! I don't want to keep you for dinner!"

Censor Peng glanced at Li Hongxiao and smiled, "I'll sit and leave, and ask you if you are short of money recently, I'll give you some money." As he said that, he took out a stack of silver notes and placed them on the table, "This is one hundred thousand taels, which is not enough to speak."

Fan Xiaodao said, "Are you afraid of losing all your family property when you give it to me?"

Censor Peng smiled and said, "After all, the Peng family is in Jinling, and it's a century-old family. Isn't it like a fun thing to give me hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?"

This tone is rich and powerful!

"You are so rich?"

Peng Yushi said, "What are the Dajiang Gang and the Cao Gang? For our three major families, they are all things that can sprinkle water. Their business is the soup we have left over."

"Three big families? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Censor Peng said: "At that time, the Li family, Peng family, and Lu family in Jinling, were known as the three major families in Jiangnan, and almost monopolized 80% of the business in Jiangnan and 70% of the land. Later, after the collapse of the Li family, our Peng and Lu families were both low-key and many businesses were turned into secret control. When it comes to money, we didn't take it seriously. For example, the Li family in Jinling, when they were confiscated, they collected nearly 30 million taels of silver, which was almost equivalent to two years of tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty, so the fifth year of Zhongxing after His Majesty ascended the throne."

Fan Xiaodao was secretly shocked.

This is the real invisible rich man who is not visible and uncovered.

"Then how much money does your family have?"

Yushi Peng spread his hands, "Over the years, we have controlled 80% of the sugar in the world. For example, the Lu family started with grain. When the Li family was confiscated and sold their property, we took the opportunity to collect a lot of their industries at a low price. I don't know how much money we have."

This is true for the Peng family, and the Lu family is no less.

They are also a family of poets and books. In the past two hundred years, the Lu family has produced three prime ministers, which has become a beautiful story. The last one with such honor is the second king of Jinling, Xie, who was the one who had such an honor before Lizong. It is precisely because of this that the eldest lady of the Lu family pursued Zhao Xing, which is a matchmaker.

As for Xu Ting's family, they are still outsiders.

Censor Peng said again, "I'm here today to report to you. I'll be following you in the future. If you have any questions, just talk. Your business is mine."

Fan Xiaodao said, "I think so much of me?"

Peng Jingshi said, "After all, you are a quasi-prince, the second heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty. Even if you can't become an emperor in the future, you can at least be a prince. If I don't curry favor with you now, when will I stay? Besides, I choose to stand on you, and I have also received the support of the family."

"Aren't you afraid of offending the prince, princess?"

Censor Peng laughed and told the truth, "Our Peng family has three branches. My uncle supports His Royal Highness the Prince and has established close contact with him before. My second uncle is the loyal subordinate of Princess Taiping. Like our third wife, there was nothing to do and he was busy waiting to die, but suddenly you appeared again, and it naturally fell on us. We all spend money on you three. No matter who is in power in the future, who will be the next head of the Peng family."

Is there any such operation?

Therefore, the century-old family never puts eggs in a basket.

"It's OK? Are you afraid of their revenge?"

Peng Jingshi said, "Once the power changes, we will deal with the other two branches first without waiting for the court to take action. This is also helpless."

Unexpectedly, a family is so complicated.

Compatible with a palace fight.

But Fan Xiaodao was not interested in knowing, Peng Yushi said, "So I was given an important task by the family committee and spent money on you, which is also the family's meaning. If you perform well in the future, our resources will be more inclined to you. Therefore, our fates are bound to each other, so you must not fall."

Fan Xiaodao said, "I'm afraid I'll let you down. I'm not interested in power struggles."

Censor Peng smiled and said, "Just don't fall down. No matter the princess or the prince, they are not fuel-efficient lamps. No matter who wins, the big house, the second house will only leave one. Our requirements are very simple. It is enough to be able to store it in the family."

The words of Censor Peng were very straightforward.

Fan Xiaodao understood.

This is the investment of the big family in themselves.

If the prince's identity is confirmed, there will probably be more such things.

All are to survive in this world.

Just then, Niu Dafu came.

After Huang Youcai went to the temple, Niu Dafu moved back home. So when he heard the news that Fan Xiaodao was back, he immediately brought Zhong Xiaoxian over.

When Niu Dafu saw Censor Peng, Censor Peng was also looking at him.

For some reason, the first time they met, they both looked at each other and didn't like each other.

Niu Dafu said, "I finally saw someone fatter than me!"

Censor Peng was also not vague, "I am fat, but I am more handsome than you!"

"Are you handsome?" Niu Dafu pointed to Zhong Xiaoxian, "But my future wife is better than yours?"

Peng Yushi said, "The future wife has not been married, so who is the one who belongs to me? I have eight wives in my family."

"Eight wives are amazing? The most important thing is not the amount of essence!"

Yushi Peng said, "Only those who have no money can say these sour words."

"I don't have money?" Niu Dafu said, "Our Huang family... Niu family is a famous wealthy family in the capital!"

Censor Peng pointed to the silver notes on the table, "This is the 100,000 taels of pocket money I gave to Mr. Xiao Fan."

Although the Huang family is rich, it is still a witch with the Peng family who has been famous for a hundred years. Niu Dafu feels that he has lost face and wants to make up for it in front of Zhong Xiaoxian. He said, "I am the headmaster of the sixth-rank military officer, who is from the sixth-rank military officer!"

Censor Peng sneered, "Military Attorney, you should pay for it. I am the right assistant censor of the Censorate of the Censorate, the fourth rank."

Comparing people with others is so annoying.

Niu Dafu said to Fan Xiaodao, "Where did you come from a stupid fool?"

"A friend I met in Jiangnan has now returned to the capital to become an official."

Niu Dafu said, "So what? Fan Xiaodao and I live in the same yard, eat a pot of rice, and sleep in a bed!"

Peng Yushi said after a long time, "You won!"

Niu Dafu then showed a proud smile and said to Fan Xiaodao: "I heard from the people in the yamen that you are back, so why didn't you say anything? Why, if I don't live here, don't you think we are brothers?"

Fan Xiaodao said, "How can you do it? I haven't been busy recently. I'll go to the yamen to report tomorrow."

Niu Dafu whispered, "I heard that there will be changes in the six doors."

Before he could continue, Zhao Xing walked in, and Censor Peng met him and said goodbye.

“What changes?”

"It's not the one you fought with the prince. I heard that the prince resigned from His Majesty as the chief of the Six Gates to His Majesty and was responsible for the 60th birthday. This news will be announced tomorrow. At present, Yang Deshui is very likely to replace him."

Zhao Xing and Fan Xiaodao went and didn't listen to him.

Both of them looked at Zhong Xiaoxian.

The two of them looked solemn, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

Zhong Xiaoxian was a little overwhelmed by the sight and asked with a pout, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
