Chapter 876 0871 [Qin Hui's Heroic Spirit Is Inspiring]

Qin Hui is a person who wants to work hard to make progress. How can he contact a dismissed cabinet minister?

It’s too late to hide!

"Ms. Li, this business can't be done. My brother-in-law refuses to see you at all. He even scolded me and told me to stay away from you." Wang Huan said helplessly.

Wang Huan is Qin Hui's brother-in-law and the grandson of Wang Gui, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The cheap son raised by Qin Hui's family is Wang Huan's illegitimate son!

Wang Huan did not get an official position in the Ming Dynasty, but he had many old relatives and relatives who could help Qin Hui weave a network of relationships.

Li Bangyan smiled and said: "Why bother Shangshu Qin with some things? You and I can do it."

Wang Huan waved his hands repeatedly and said in a low voice: "It's not like you don't know that the court is tight. Selling land at low prices in violation of regulations can still be done in local areas, but who dares to do it in Luoyang? You will lose your official position easily. If things get messy, If you get too big, you’ll lose your head!”

Li Bangyan asked: "It's been several years and the news hasn't passed yet?"

"That gust of wind has passed, but I don't know when the next gust of wind will come!" Wang Huan said.

"Understood," Li Bangyan took out a treasure note, "I still want to thank Brother Wang, and I can keep in touch in the future."

It's just a hundred guan of banknotes, the amount is not big, it's purely for a good relationship.

Wang Huan accepted it with satisfaction: "If you have anything to do in the future, feel free to come to me. Mr. Li is also a decent man, so I will help if I can. But there are some things that I definitely can't help with. After all, the Ming Dynasty is not the former Song Dynasty."

"I know." Li Bangyan smiled.

After sending this guy away, Li Bangyan lamented alone.

He prospered in Hangzhou, but after all he failed when he came to the capital. Officials regarded him as the god of plague.

Those who lend money are very open-minded. The interest rates are so damn high!

It seems that we can only buy land through formal channels and make it bigger and stronger bit by bit.

First, I bought a small abandoned temple in the city. I didn’t need to tear it down and rebuild it. I simply decorated it and it was ready for business.

The Buddha statues have long been moved away by monks, and the Bodhisattva can perform in the temple. The Buddhist temple perfectly fits the theme atmosphere.

The two Bodhisattvas who have been trained, as well as more than a dozen girls in training, together with a team of servants and musicians, usually live in the monk's house.

Celebrities are entertained regularly, and places are limited.

I only sell my art, not my body.

If you want to sleep with a Bodhisattva, you must first win the beauty's favor. You can spend money like crazy, or rely on your talent and looks. Anyway, you have to talk about love first, and going to bed directly would be too out of style.

Li Bangyan personally visited the entire city of Luoyang and finally selected a smaller abandoned temple.

This temple has been banned for eight years, and it still takes a lot of effort to repair it.

Li Bangyan took out a pen and paper and wrote the name of his brothel: Alan Ruo.

…

Ten days off.

Qin Hui left Shangshu's official residence and returned to his private residence.

Regarding Bodhisattva Man, Qin Hui became angrier the more he thought about it.

It's not like he was lustful and insisted on getting one to take home. But why can't I get it home? Even his biological son must be raised outside?

He decided to show off his cards to his wife!

"Finally back to my home again." Mrs. Wang sighed happily as soon as she arrived in the inner courtyard.

In order to show their diligence and integrity, he and his wife usually lived in the official residence of the minister.

The area there is not large, the decoration is simple, and it is very close to the imperial city, so you can't enjoy it at all. Even having a few more servants would make it a bit crowded.

The maid had brought a deck chair, and Mrs. Wang lay down in the courtyard to enjoy the air.

Then a servant took ice from the cellar to make a cold drink and carefully brought it to Wang.

Mrs. Wang slept on a recliner and enjoyed cold drinks while two maids beat her legs and fanned her. After feeling aggrieved in the official residence for several days, Wang sighed with emotion: "This is how people live."

"You guys go out first." Qin Hui walked slowly.

The servants did not move, but all looked at Wang.

Wang said: "Go down."

The servants then resigned and left.

Qin Hui stood with his hands behind his hands and mustered up the courage to say: "As a minister, it is not good to divorce my wife."

"What?" Wang thought she heard wrongly.

Qin Hui repeated it again.

"This is outrageous!"

Mrs. Wang stood up suddenly, pointed at Qin Hui and cursed: "Qin, you were originally from a poor household. You couldn't afford to rent a good house in Kaifeng! If it weren't for the dowry from my Wang family, you would have starved to death in Kaifeng." …It’s true that you won the title of Maoke, but without the support of my Wang family, how could you be directly promoted to Imperial College? There were many people competing for that official position at that time!”

Qin Hui has been psychologically affected. His liver trembles when he hears his wife's behavior. He subconsciously takes two steps back and says, "This moment, that moment."

"Yes, you are now the minister of the new dynasty, and my Wang family has lost power a long time ago. Now it is my Wang family who is begging you..." Mrs. Wang said, suddenly burst into tears, "Why is my life so miserable? Marry. I gave him food and shelter to a poor and lowly Jinshi, and even asked my parents-in-law to get him an official position. In the end, when he became rich, he despised me for being an old man... wuwuwu~~~~"

Qin Hui bit the bullet and said, "You are a smart person and you should know very well."

"Of course I know it. You just think my Wang family is powerless and you want to divorce me and start a new family. I...I..." Wang rushed over, "I will fight with you!"

Qin Hui was afraid of being scratched on his face, so he quickly pushed Wang away and said angrily: "You are a bitch, you only know how to use strong words to make excuses, and you will act violently if you can't explain your lies!"

"You still dare to fight back?"

Wang showed an expression of disbelief, and then rushed forward even more crazily: "This day is over, I want to die with you!"

"Get away!"

Qin Hui kicked out, hitting Wang in the abdomen.

Wang covered her stomach in pain, squatted on the ground and said sternly: "Okay... okay... you want to divorce me, right? Just kill me. As long as I don't die, I will go to the Dali Temple to sue you for corruption and abuse of power! According to the Ming Dynasty Law, you will be beheaded and I will be exiled. I am a woman and old, so I may be able to stay in Luoyang. You old thing will definitely die!"

Hearing this, Qin Hui really wanted to kill.

He suppressed his anger and said, "I am the Shangshu. Divorcing my wife has a bad influence. Don't you understand?"

This time Wang understood and said in a cold tone, "What are you going to do?"

Qin Hui said, "You and I are still husband and wife. You can continue to enjoy your life. But your brother, the bastard, can no longer live in my house. I am the Shangshu of the Ming Dynasty. I can have children myself. Do I have to raise a son for others?"

"You want to take a concubine and have a child?" Wang sneered, "With your appearance, you can finish in a few strokes in bed. Can you still have a child?"

Qin Hui said angrily, "I am only in my forties and in my prime. How can I not have a child?"

Wang was silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qin Hui said, "From now on, you and I are still a loving couple. But don't worry about my business. I have to make the decision in this family. You can report to the authorities. It's a fight to the death, and no one will get a good result."

Wang was still silent. She was used to being domineering and could not swallow this breath.

Qin Hui continued, "I have a son outside. I will raise them in the official residence. You and your trusted servants must move out of the official residence. During holidays, I will return to the private residence and invite friends to a banquet with you. How about it?"

Wang did not agree.

She lay back on the chair as if nothing had happened, picked up the cold drink and continued to eat, and shouted to the outside: "Are they all dead? No one is here to beat my legs when they are sore!"

Qin Hui smiled, feeling very comfortable.

If it weren't for the change of dynasties, with the Wang family's network of relationships, he would not dare to be tough even if he became the prime minister.

Long live the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

There are not many relatives of the Wang family who are officials now.

One is called Meng Zhonghou, Qin Hui's brother-in-law and the husband of Wang's cousin.

Because of historical reasons, Zhu Ming has a very good impression of Queen Mother Meng. Moreover, Meng Zhonghou also brought the former Song imperial army and actively surrendered when Zhu Ming entered Tokyo, so this guy is doing well now.

As the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Luoyang, Meng Zhonghou, who stayed in Kaifeng, has been promoted to the third in command of the Kaifeng police system.

There is also a man named Zheng Yinian, the son of Zheng Juzhong, the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and Wang's cousin.

Zheng Yinian was suppressed by Wang Fu and demoted to the local prefecture. But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. After the fall of Kaifeng, he took a state to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

He was considered to have made contributions and was promoted back to the court and given a sinecure.

In the last major national corruption case, Zheng Yinian successfully survived safely because he had no real power. And he was transferred to Shaanxi as a powerful prefect.

There is another man named Li Yu, the father-in-law of Wang's younger brother, who is currently a councilor of Hebei Province.

The official positions of these three people are not high, but they have many in-laws and old friends.

After relying on Qin Hui, they can also help Qin Hui weave a network of relationships.

There are similar people, such as Wang's brother-in-law Zhao Shipeng, who also serves as an official in the local area. I won't list them one by one.

Qin Hui became the Shangshu, and his own relatives gradually moved closer.

Xu Fu, the former Minister of the Imperial Household, who was transferred by Zhu Ming because he was not familiar with the full-time business, was the cousin of Qin Hui's cousin.

There was also a prefect in Fujian named Wang Yu, who was Qin Hui's cousin.

Among Qin Hui's brothers, one was a Jinshi and has now reached the fifth rank. The other few, through Qin Hui's operation, took the path of promotion from clerks and were promoted to miscellaneous officials of the eighth and ninth ranks.

There were also Qin Hui's classmates and old friends who were willing to rely on him, and the highest rank was the fourth rank.

One-third of the officials in the Ministry of Works were gradually controlled by Qin Hui.

Several confidants who were personally promoted by him in the Ministry of Revenue where he used to work were also sent out.

Qin Hui also married his eldest brother's daughter to the son of a local official.

A small faction is taking shape.

The couple had a quarrel, but soon reconciled.

Qin Hui officially took the concubine as his concubine, and moved into the official residence with the mother, son and servants. Wang, however, moved out of the Shangshu official residence with her trusted and loyal servants, and lived in a private residence.

One wife and one concubine, no interference with each other.

The adopted son Qin Hui returned to the Wang family and changed his name to Wang Hui.

People are refreshed when they are happy, and when Qin Hui went to work again, he was so proud.

Then he secretly took two concubines, hoping to have more children before he turned fifty.

Qin Hui didn't know that his brother Qin Zi, who was a Jinshi, was secretly embezzling and occupying land by taking advantage of the opportunity of building official roads and water conservancy.

Moreover, not a penny was given to Qin Hui!
