Sun Daoning was half-believing and half-doubting, always feeling that Chen Guanlou was talking nonsense and disturbing his thoughts. But after thinking carefully, what the other party said was not completely unreasonable.

Chen Guanlou took the opportunity to climb up the ladder, "Old Sun, have you forgotten my background? If you want to inquire about Nanshan Marquis Mansion and the early events of the previous emperor, no one is more convenient than me. No one in the capital knows the secrets better than the noble families. Come, you approve more notes, don't just approve food and grass, but also approve some silver and money. Leave the matter of inquiring about the news to me. I guarantee that you will avoid the fire pit and get out smoothly."

Sun Daoning laughed angrily.

This is a threat!

A complete threat!

"If I don't approve more, you won't ask."

"That can't be! But after asking, I will selectively tell you. How much I tell you depends on your sincerity."

Sun Daoning bit his back teeth, "You'd better find out clearly. If I really jump into the fire pit this time, I will drag you down with me before I die."

"Old Sun, you like to judge others by your own meanness, which is boring. Oh, that's right, approve the note, it's good for you, me and everyone. Give me three to five days, I promise to find out everything clearly. I will even find out what color underwear the ancestor of Nanshan Marquis Mansion wore."

"Go away! I'm not a gangster, I don't know what color is used for. You talk nonsense all day long." Sun Daoning was furious. He doubted what image he had in Chen Guanlou's mind.

He didn't care about the eighteen-year-old girl, but ran to care about the eighty-year-old woman. He must be crazy.

Is there no one who can cure Chen Guanlou's mouth?

Chen Guanlou took the approved note and left happily, looking for someone to handle the official documents. After that, he took the official documents and called the jailer to move the grain and grass and go to the silver vault to collect the silver.

In order to prevent the people in the Ministry of Justice from falsifying, he also specially called the logistics ancestors.

Now, everyone in Tianlao can have a good year.

Everyone cheered and praised Chen Yucheng for having a way to go to the Ministry of Justice to get back the previously owed grain and silver.

What is ability?

This is ability!

What is the way of being an official?

This is the way of being an official!

Chen Yucheng is the prison secretary, and everyone in Tianlao is unconvinced. A superior who can get money is definitely an excellent superior who satisfies most people.

No matter how capable a person is, if he can't get money, he is nothing!

This is the reality of officialdom.

Everything is about money!

After Chen Guanlou finished the last major event of Tianlao before the New Year, he began to prepare New Year's goods. Each household had to send a gift, including the elderly and widows, and some important people who worked for the clan. The neighbors who had more contact with him and the aunts who helped him with housework, cleaning and cooking on weekdays also had a New Year's gift.

And the stewards and servants of the two large houses, everyone had a share.

Anyway, he was responsible for paying the money, and the specific arrangements were handed over to the steward of the three-story mansion.

In the Hou Mansion, he personally brought a valuable New Year's gift to the door in the afternoon of this day and a half, and asked to see the head steward by name.

The head steward met him in the small study, and after receiving the New Year's gift, he warmly invited him to dinner. He immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of wine and food.

"Then I won't be polite!"

"Just treat the Marquis' Mansion as your own home, no need to be so formal. Knowing that you like to eat the dishes cooked by the chef of the Marquis' Mansion, I specifically ordered the chef to show his housekeeping skills. For this reason, the job of stewing soup for the old lady was handed over to other chefs."

"Oh, how can this be done? The old lady is so noble, she is the ancestor of the mansion, how can she change the chef because of me? No, no. If this gets out, I will be said to be frivolous and ignorant."

"Don't worry! If the old lady knew it was you who came, she would definitely be happy!" The butler asked him not to have any psychological burden. There are conflicts in the Marquis' Mansion, but at the moment, all the conflicts are hidden deep inside. On the surface, everyone is in harmony, and the old lady treats people more and more kindly.

Because everyone knows that the life and property of the whole family are all on the eldest master. Only when the eldest master is good, it is really good.

Those trivial conflicts on weekdays are all endured. Now is not the time for internal strife.

Besides, the old lady only drank two sips of soup. The rest went into the servants’ stomachs.

Chen Guanlou was polite twice, but that was enough.

First, they played chess!

When the wine and food were ready, the two of them toasted each other and chatted about everything.

Chen Guanlou took the opportunity to bring up the topic of Nanshan Marquis’ Mansion.

"I went to the Ministry of Justice to ask for money two days ago, and had a few words with the Ministry of Justice Tianguan. It seems that the palace is not happy with Nanshan Marquis and wants to take action? Is this true?"

"Are you sure about Nanshan Marquis?"

"I'm not sure! I just heard a few words, so I don't ask you. You are well-informed. What is the origin of Nanshan Marquis Mansion? Has it offended the emperor before?"

"It's a lie!" The butler cursed fiercely, "Nanshan Marquis Mansion has been more low-key than anyone else in the past few decades. It neither attends court nor serves as an official, and its descendants do not serve as officials. They just live by guarding their ancestral property. Even in this situation, the emperor is still thinking about it. The Song family is really greedy and wants to swallow an elephant!"

There is a big story here!

Chen Guanlou is too curious.

"Would you please tell me in detail?"

"Tell me first what Sun Daoning said?"

"Lord Sun said that the palace is out of money, and His Majesty has evil ideas and wants to take over Nanshan Marquis's Mansion. It is said that Nanshan Marquis's Mansion knows the location of the treasure of the Dayu Dynasty. Is there really a treasure of the Dayu Dynasty?"

Chen Guanlou was too curious about the treasure. Treasure maps and treasure hunting are everyone’s dreams. Everyone dreams of a journey involving treasures. Even if nothing is gained, at least the process is enjoyable and proves that one is awesome.

"If there really is a treasure, it would have been discovered eight hundred years ago, and we still have to wait until the emperor comes to care about it." The chief steward sneered repeatedly with great disdain.

"Then why did the emperor target the Nanshan Marquis Mansion? Just because his family is the mother clan of King Cheng?"

"Bullshit matriarchal clan!"

Once again, Chen Guanlou was severely impacted.

What the hell!

Can this matter about the mother clan be faked?

This is impossible!

There must be something inside of this!

"You old man, don't say half and half! Come on, tell me, what's going on? Isn't the Nanshan Marquis Mansion the mother clan of King Cheng? This can't be possible! Even official records can be confused."

Seeing how eager he was, the chief steward laughed and said, "Decades have passed, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. There are probably not many people who knew the truth back then who are still alive."

The previous generation who became a king was really unlucky. I don’t know if it was because of the body itself or because someone had drugged him, but he just couldn’t give birth. I asked for many secret recipes in private and consulted many private doctors.

The previous generation of King Cheng couldn't trust the imperial doctors in the palace at all, and suspected that the illnesses he couldn't cure were caused by those imperial doctors. Hey, King Cheng actually found a way to get pregnant with a folk doctor.

This child is now King Cheng. After the birth, in order to give the child a legitimate identity, he recorded it in the name of the princess and forged the fact that the princess was the biological mother. "
