At the end of the You hour, the sky was completely dark, but Hongqing was still busy in the study, and she never put down her pen. Her frowns from time to time showed that Hongqing was not in a good mood. There were too many things that happened in the past few days. Although the financial crisis had a good start, the following things were still very complicated. As for the White Lotus Sect's chaos, there was no clue yet. These two things alone were enough for Hongqing to worry about, let alone the Ministry of Works' invention and promotion, and all kinds of matters were mixed together. Even if Hongqing was old in government affairs, he couldn't help but feel a headache for it.

"Report to Prince, He Tao is here."

Just as Hong Qing was writing a quick book, Li Minxing quickly turned out from behind the screen, grabbed the copywriting with several big steps, bowed, and quickly reported it.

"Yeah, Xuan."

Hearing the noise, Hongqing raised her head from the pile of official documents, blinked her dry eyes, then put down the pen in her hand, reached out to rub her swollen temples, and ordered exhaustedly.

"twitter!"

Since Hongqing had an order, Li Minxing did not dare to delay it at all. He quickly responded and hurriedly left the study. After a while, he was already with the "sharp knife" Shanxi branch rudder He Tao, who was the leader of the Shanxi branch, turned back from outside.

"I'm going to see the prince!"

He Tao is an old man with "sharp knife". He has been the backbone of it since the establishment of "sharp knife". Speaking of which, he has been with Hongqing for nine years. However, since he was sent to Shanxi for 46 years, he has not seen Hongqing for six years. Although Hongqing has been to Shanxi these days, although Hongqing has been in Shanxi, Li Minxing is in charge of the contact with the other end of "sharp knife". He Tao was the first time he came to the post station to see Hongqing, and he was a little excited. The voice of greeting brought a few tremolo.

"No, come, sit down and say."

What made He Tao come here in person was definitely a small matter, but Hongqing did not rush to ask questions, but called warmly.

"Thank you, Prince Long."

When He Tao saw Hongqing's face again, he was very excited, but he was still a little restrained. After thanking him, he did not dare to take a seat at will, but stood beside him bowed.

"Why don't you have to be so polite, just sit down." Hongqing smiled and pressed her hand, signaling He Tao to leave her seat, and then nodded in praise and said, "The Shanxi branch is done well today, and I am very satisfied."

"The prince praised it. His subordinates failed to discover the White Lotus Sect's initiation in time, which led to the prince's risk. This is a big mistake for his subordinates. He dared not speak vainly and asked the prince to punish him."

When He heard Hongqing's praise, He Tao's old face turned red. He was excited and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He hurriedly bowed and answered with shame.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, and this is not the first time I have dealt with the White Lotus Sect. Although these rats in the gutter are annoying, they can't make a lot of trouble."

Hongqing has never been too much. Even if he is angry with the assassination of the White Lotus Sect, he will never blame his subordinates for not doing their best. He is not alone. At that time, Hongqing personally issued an order to ask the Shanxi branch to deal with the financial crisis with all his strength. He will never be able to vent his anger on others because of his assassination.

"The prince is kind and generous, and his subordinates are impressed. He is satisfied that he hears that the prince was assassinated, and his subordinates are inexplicably sad and angry. My Shanxi branch is united and after many efforts, he finally found some clues. I have a secret document here, so please check it out."

He Tao came here because he had important news. He didn't dare to chat with Hongqing until he finished his chat. After saying a few words of praise, he took out the roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it respectfully to Hongqing.

"Well, I know, I will continue to monitor you, don't act rashly, so as not to alarm the snake."

Hongqing reached out to take the roll of paper, spread it open, and studied it carefully. From time to time, a glimmer flashed in her eyes. However, when it came to the end, she did not give any orders, and just gave a simple command.

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order!"

Since Hongqing had given instructions, He Tao did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly stood up and respectfully agreed to the promise.

"Okay, Lao He, you have a heavy task, so I won't keep you for too long, I'll be unable to do anything."

After reading the secret documents, Hongqing's face was still dull, but her heart was obviously in a state of turmoil. She had no intention of chatting more, and she had already explained what she should have to explain. Then she smiled and waved her hand and issued an order to expel the guest.

"Yes, my subordinates have surrendered."

After Hongqing said this, He Tao did not dare to stay any longer. He hurriedly bowed and bowed, and then left the study.

The storm is coming and the wind is filling the building. I am afraid I will be serious this time!

After He Tao left, Hongqing did not deal with the remaining official documents, but instead paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, thinking silently for a long time, and then walked to the window, staring at the starry night sky, and exhaling a long and grand voice.

"Report to the prince, Xiao Lufeng, the shopkeeper of the 'Huicun Money House', has come and said he has something to see you."

Before Hongqing could finish her breath, she heard a sound of footsteps. Li Minxing hurried into the study again, walked quickly behind Hongqing, bowed, and quickly reported to him.

"oh?"

When Xiao Lufeng was asking for a meeting, Hongqing frowned and said lightly, but she did not rush to give a reply. It was because Xiao Lufeng's identity was extremely special. For others, Xiao Lufeng was just a money shop owner. Although he was rich and powerful, he was just a merchant after all, and he seemed to be unable to make it to the stage. However, Hongqing had known his foundation for a long time. This person was the Eighth Master's wallet, and he was called "Nan Liu Beixiao" together with Liu Banu who was killed by Hongqing. It was also one of the goals of Hongqing's rectification of financial order. Now, the situation is still subtle, and this person suddenly came to visit, and the purpose was not simple, so Hongqing could not help but think about it.

"Let him come in."

After thinking for a while, Hongqing decided to make conspiracy again after meeting each other. Then she waved her hand and ordered in a gentle tone.

"twitter!"

After hearing Hongqing's instructions, Li Minxing did not dare to delay any delay. He quickly responded and walked out of the study. After a while, he had already accompanied Xiao Lufeng and returned.

"Caomin Xiao Lufeng bowed to the prince."

Seeing Hongqing sitting behind the copywriting, Xiao Lufeng couldn't help but thrust his eyelids, but he didn't delay the big gift.

"Forget it, just let it go."

Hongqing was very calm and received a great gift from Xiao Lufeng. She neither looked at her face nor was she falsely polite. She just raised her hands indifferently and shouted with no expression.

"Thank you, Prince Long."

Although Xiao Lufeng was kneeling on the ground, his ears were standing up. He thought of getting some information from Hongqing's tone. Such intentions were undoubtedly good, but unfortunately there was no possibility of realization. He could only thank him respectfully, stand up, bow and stand up to show a gentle and obedient attitude.

"After saying that, why do you have to look for me in such a hurry?"

No matter how gentle Xiao Lufeng was, Hongqing was too lazy to play tricks with him in circles. He even saved polite greetings and went straight to the point.

"It's so that the prince learned that Caomin accidentally got some news about the White Lotus Sect. I wonder if the prince is interested?"

Xiao Lufeng obviously didn't expect Hongqing to ask so directly, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. However, he didn't dare not not answer, but when he saw his eyes slightly rolling, he threw out a bait with a smile.

"Oh? What is the shopkeeper Xiao planning to get from me?"

When he heard Xiao Lufeng ask this, Hongqing immediately showed a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth. She pointed out the intention of Xiao Lufeng here, just to use the news of the White Lotus Sect as a bargaining weight for trading.

"Don't dare, don't dare, prince, you know that Caomin has always made a living by money houses, and has spent half his life doing it. This time, he was implicated by the "Rising Money House", so his life is unsustainable. Caomin is worried, but he is also unable to solve the problem. He is really helpless, so he has to come and ask the prince to give up his hands."

The sarcastic smile on the corner of Hongqing's mouth was almost uncovered. Xiao Lufeng could not see it, but he did not intend to give up. After gritting his teeth, he still gritted his teeth and proposed the conditions for exchange.

"Highly raise your hands? Shopkeeper Xiao's words are so heavy. I have ever taken action against you, "Huicun Money House," so how can I have any special hands?"

As soon as Xiao Lufeng said this, Hongqing's face immediately drooped, she smiled coldly, and asked without hesitation.

"The prince clearly understands that the grass people dare not seek general treatment with the 'Rising Money House'. They only want to borrow some buzz cuts temporarily, and there is no need to be too much. It is enough to have a 200,000 taels of cash. After the grass people overcome this difficulty, they should pay it back twice as much. I also ask the prince to reward the grass people with a gift, and the grass people will definitely repay it."

Xiao Lufeng seemed to be determined to rely on Hongqing, and he didn't care how ugly Hongqing's face was, so he put the request on the surface.

"That's it?"

Hongqing raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise.

"It is true. Only 200,000 taels of cash can be used to ensure that the money house opens on time. Of course, the grass-roots can take out a land mu manor worth 300,000 taels of silver as pledge. If the loan cannot be repaid in time, he will be punished."

When Xiao Lufeng heard Hongqing's question seem to have the intention of agreeing to exchange, he was immediately excited and quickly made a promise.

"I will make up this matter before I can consider it."

After pondering silently for a while, Hongqing still did not give a positive answer, but did not refuse directly, but left Xiao Lufeng with a hint that can be discussed.

"This nature, this nature, the prince's words are trustworthy. The people of Cao have compiled information here, so please check it out."

Although Hongqing only gave a hint, Xiao Lufeng looked overjoyed and did not bother him. Instead, he quickly took out the roll of paper from his wide sleeves and handed it to Hongqing respectfully.

"oh?"
