"Dad, you're finally here. If you don't come, your baby son will go to the northwest to die."

When Mr. Cheng saw his father coming, tears fell down. The grievances in his heart were imagined when he saw that his father was coming.

"It turns out that Lord Cheng is here." Qin Mu said with a smile when he saw the visitor.

This Minister of Rites Cheng, named Cheng Maocai, is in his fifties and has gained a lot of weight. With a big belly, Qin Mu and him met him in the court several times. They are familiar with each other, but they are familiar with each other and have nothing to say.

"My Lord Qin, what does this mean? My son offended you, you actually took such a fierce attack."

Cheng Maocai looked at Qin Mu angrily and shouted, "I usually hold this baby son in my mouth and fear it will melt, and I will fall in my hand. I am willing to beat him. Today I was beaten like this. How could Cheng Maocai not be angry?

"You have to ask your baby son, I will not hit him for no reason."

Qin Mu said, "Anyway, everyone is in Qingluo now. He, the Minister of Rites, is embarrassed and dares to be an official, so Qin Mu has no pressure to speak.

"What's going on?" Cheng Maocai asked, looking at his precious son.

"Dad, this is the thing..."

Mr. Cheng endured the pain and told him the process of the matter. Because Qin Mu was there, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, just saying that he was really unfair.

"Mr. Qin, is this happening?"

Cheng Maocai stared at Qin Mu and asked angrily that his son was just a little closer to Xu Youde and suffered this unrestrained disaster. Qin Mu always had to give an explanation for this matter, otherwise Cheng Maocai would not be afraid of attacking the lawsuit to the emperor.

"One thing your son said is that he and Xu Youcai intend to be foolish about my concubine." Qin Mu said lightly.

"I, I don't." Mr. Cheng said quickly.

"No, you have the nerve to say no, but I heard Xu Youcai tell you to share with you my concubine. Lord Cheng, you are the Minister of Rites. Your son's behavior is a naked challenge to me, a challenge to the officials of the Qin Empire. Is it true that if any general of the court goes to the battlefield in the future, the princes of all the officials in the capital can blatantly rob the wives and concubines of the soldiers who want to go to the battlefield to sacrifice their lives for the country. I will also go to court tomorrow to ask the emperor if this is the case." Qin Mu said.

"I didn't. Xu Youde said so, I didn't agree." Mr. Cheng said quickly. Mr. Cheng is not stupid, but he dare not take such a serious crime.

"Is there any misunderstanding between Lord Qin?"

Cheng Maocai said in a cold sweat that if he really made up his son's charge, he would not be able to save his son's life, and he would be the Minister of Rites as the Minister of Rites.

"Misunderstanding, there are many people here. Is it a misunderstanding? Let's go and find the emperor to comment."

Qin Mu said that now the initiative is in Qin Mu's hands, and Qin Mu is not afraid of meeting the emperor at all. Whether it is this matter itself or because he is about to go to the dangerous place in the northwest to take office, the emperor will stand on his side.

"Mr. Qin, do you tell me about your conditions?"

Cheng Maocai asked with anger that he could not stand at the top of his own affairs, and Cheng Maocai was unwilling to take risks with his son's life.

"I have already said that two million taels of silver can't be less than a cent." Qin Mu said. In terms of money, Qin Mu was unwilling to bargain for rebates.

"You don't want to rob me," Cheng Maocai shouted angrily.

"Mr. Cheng, you are from the Minister of Rites. How can you instigate others to rob? It would be fine if I heard this. If someone else hears it, I wouldn't write it to you." Qin Mu said.

"Not two million? Twenty thousand is almost the same." When he met such a person, Cheng Maocai, the Minister of Rites, was helpless and thought about whether he could give him some less.

"Mr. Cheng, you don't have to call me poor. Who doesn't know that your family is rich, especially your precious son, is famous for spending money like earth in Qinglou. Why is it that the family of the Minister of Rites of the Great Qin Empire? When investigating the etiquette of the Great Qin Empire, it is like spending money like earth. It is very rich, and there is no money at other times. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?" Qin Mu said with disbelief.

"you……"

Cheng Maocai pointed at Qin Mu and couldn't speak.

"Why did I tell you? Lord Cheng, Lord Xu, the Minister of Personnel, just now, gave me four million taels of silver to compensate me, but I don't talk much nonsense. If you think it's more than two million taels, it doesn't matter. I will take the noble son to the emperor and ask the emperor to judge him." Qin Mu pointed at Mr. Cheng and said.

"You dare." Cheng Maocai shouted loudly.

Dozens of strong servants who were following Cheng Maocai immediately surrounded Cheng Maocai and Cheng Gongzi and guarded him with weapons.

“Bold.”

The soldiers around Qin Mu also drew their swords to hold on, but the number of people was slightly smaller than that of Qin Mu.

"Mr. Qin, you are not enough people. It's a loss to fight. I'll just forget about this. Two hundred thousand taels of silver is my limit. If you accept it, everything is easy to say. If you don't accept it, we can only compare with whose fists."

Cheng Maocai said that Cheng Maocai was not willing to offend Qin Mu, who was about to go to the northwest to take office. After all, this is a dying person. Such a person is the most dangerous and will really fight to the death if he gets angry.

"Mr. Cheng, do you really think you will win?" Qin Mu asked, staring at Cheng Maocai.

"Mr. Qin, don't underestimate me, these servants. They are all elites who fight ten." Cheng Maocai said proudly.

"Haha, Lord Cheng, I soldiers are not ordinary people, they are all veterans who have experienced many battles." Qin Mu also said confidently.

"So, Lord Qin is not going to let the dog go?" Cheng Maocai asked angrily.

"If you don't compensate for the losses, you don't want to take your baby son away."

Qin Mu said toughly, anyway, Qin Mu didn't know if he could come back from the northwest alive. Everyone was not afraid of Cheng Maocai or made a big fuss.

"That depends on everyone's ability."

Cheng Maocai said that it was impossible to ask Cheng Maocai to take out two million taels of silver. In Cheng Maocai's opinion, the number of people on his side was the upper hand. As long as he brought his son home, Qin Mu could not do anything to him. Without his son in his hands, he was not afraid of him complaining to the emperor.

"Sir, my subordinates are bringing people." Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Li Dadan took away a group of soldiers and rushed in.

"Very good, you came in time, haha." Qin Mu looked at the group of soldiers brought in by Li Dadan happily. It was really raining in time.

"Sir Cheng, do you think you need to try it if you want to play."

Qin Mu looked at Cheng Maocai with a smile and said, "Now the number of people on his side has an absolute advantage, so what can Cheng Maocai do?"

"This is two million taels of silver bills. The green mountains and rivers remain unchanged, and the green waters always flow. When you are in my hands, we will leave."

Cheng Maocai threw down two million taels of silver and took his son to leave.

"stop!"

Li Dadan took the soldiers away and surrounded Cheng Maocai and others. Without Qin Mu's words, these soldiers did not dare to let them go. In ancient times, soldiers were more rude and only recognized their superiors. For other civil officials who were not in the army, they were generally not a big deal.

"Mr. Qin, what do you mean? The money has been given to you, what else do you want?" Cheng Maocai said unhappily.

"Mr. Cheng, please forgive me. I have to count the amount of money you have so much money, right? If you give it too much, I can return it to you in time." Qin Mu said with a smile.

"Have you ordered it?"

Cheng Maocai was almost bleeding. When did the dignified second-rank official of the court suffer such anger? Twenty years ago, when the eunuch party members were not so arrogant, they could have destroyed this Qin Mu at any time. However, now the Qin Empire is worried about domestic and external troubles, and the eunuch party is so strong that Cheng Maocai has many things to worry about.

"Okay, two million yuan, don't give one more point. You don't let go, how can you block Lord Cheng's way? He is the second-rank Shangshu. Can you soldiers stop him?" Qin Mu cursed at his subordinates.

"yes."

Hearing Qin Mu's words, these soldiers made way and let Cheng Maocai and others leave.

"Master, did I cause you a lot of trouble?"

Chimeng asked with some concern, Chimeng is now Qin Mu's concubine, so he also called Qin Mu the master, not Lord Qin.

"No, you are the lucky star of the master. Look, the master suddenly earns six million taels of silver. Where can I find such a good thing?"

Qin Mu said happily that six million taels of silver is not a decimal amount. At least his army's short-term food, drink and military pay will not be a problem.

After all, it is very expensive to recruit soldiers and buy horses by yourself now. The army also needs money to support it. If you have money, you can have soldiers. If you don’t have money, you can’t even solve the problem of food and clothing for soldiers. Who can do your life?

"Li Dabang, come here." Qin Mu shouted to Li Dabang.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Li Dadan ran to Qin Mu and asked.

"This is five hundred taels of silver. You can take everyone to drink, and you can share the remaining money."

Qin Mu said that after he made a lot of money, the people below would give them some soup to drink, otherwise who would work hard for you in the future?

"Thank you sir."

The soldiers and officers below said happily, who doesn’t want to get more money?

"You guys go back and clean up and go back with me." Qin Mu said to Chimeng and Xiaoyu.

"Um."

Chimeng happily took Xiaoyu to his room to pack his things. She was very happy to leave Yixiang Tower, whether it was Chimeng or Xiaoyu.

"Congratulations to Sister Chimeng."

"Sister Chimeng, I didn't expect you to find such a good home."

"Congratulations to Sister Chimeng. Remember to walk out of Yixiang Tower later, don't look back."
