    Eunuchs have their own difficulties, and the powerful Eunuch Liu is no exception. No matter how famous he is in front of him, he must bear multiple responsibilities in the future. This is inevitable.

    Liu Jin howled loudly in the golden palace, and all the ministers in the palace stopped crying immediately.

    Zhu Houzhao's decree was ridiculous. From now on, he would not live in the palace but in the Leopard Room. All government affairs and military affairs were decided by the Leopard Room. This was of course an extremely foolish decision. This matter must not be allowed to allow this foolish king to act recklessly. Fighting to the death is what a minister should do.  meaning.

    However, one code equals another, the money came out of the inner treasury, and the people collected it from the palace. Apart from sending a few officials from the Ministry of Industry to guide the construction, and by the way gathering in groups in front of the Meridian Gate to curse in the street, the outer court did not need to do anything.  Do anything, and seeing the domineering and arrogant Liu Jin crying and crying today is also quite pleasing to the eye, and the sadness and anger of the ministers immediately diluted a lot.

    So, when Eunuch Liu was crying loudly, the ministers in the Golden Palace stopped crying and dispersed in twos and threes, leaving Eunuch Liu standing alone in front of the palace, feeling the emptiness, loneliness and coldness alone.

    The ministers who were walking outside the palace were quietly drafting their own wonderful scolding essays in their minds, thinking about how to write a gorgeous article, scolding the faint king like a dream, waking up from a dream, and changing their minds from then on.  Be a sage monarch, and they will leave their name in history and be immortal

    The Golden Palace quickly became empty. Cabinet scholar Jiao Fang and the new Minister of War Liu Yu walked at the end. They glanced at Liu Jin who was crying sadly. They shook their heads and walked out of the palace.

    Although they are members of the eunuch party, they are also civil servants. Civil servants cherish feathers. Even if the whole world knows that they have hugged the eunuch's lap, they still have to keep a certain distance on the surface. They interact too closely with the eunuch in full view of the public.  After all, it is not honorable, and the eunuchs will never admit that they are eunuchs.

    Seeing the ministers leaving one after another, Eunuch Liu, who was crying so hard, felt deeply that his popularity in the court was too low. He sniffed hard, snorted bitterly, got up and hurried out of the palace.

    Building the Leopard House would cost millions of dollars, so Liu Jin had to go back and discuss raising money with his staff.

    ***************************************************  ****************

    Qin Mansion.

    "Master Marquis, Liu Jin is in big trouble" Ding Shun squinted his eyes and laughed: "It cost more than a million dollars to repair the Leopard House. The internal treasury has long been empty and there are no rats left. Let's see if he can hang his neck this time  ¡­¡±

    When Qin Kan mentioned the hanging, Qin Kan glared at him fiercely. Ding Shun realized that he had made a mistake, so he slapped himself in the mouth and smiled coquettishly.

    ??Everyone around him knows that the highlight of Qin Kan¡¯s tragic past is his nickname of "Hanged-necked Scholar". The Marquis of Qin is a bit sensitive to the word "Hanged-necked Scholar"

    "A few days ago, Liu Jin allocated 400,000 taels of silver from the internal treasury to the manufacturing bureau to mass-produce Franco machine guns. Is it possible that the internal treasury was empty so quickly?" Qin Kan asked doubtfully.

    Ding Shun smiled and said: "The Marquis receives a salary from the imperial court, and brothers Wei Li and local officials pay filial piety every year. Naturally, they don't have to worry about money, so they don't know about these dirty things in the palace. The palace is actually the dirtiest place."  , those eunuchs who have no eggs below cannot play with women, and making money has become their only hobby in life. Your Majesty leaves the inner treasury to the eunuchs to take care of. Lord Marquis, think about it, how clean can this inner treasury be? For example,  Your Majesty likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Jiangnan. The most reasonable and cost-effective way is to invite a pastry chef from Jiangnan to come into the palace and make it for your Majesty every day. But the eunuchs will not do this. They will take advantage of it.  No money"

    "So, the eunuchs in power in the palace met for a small meeting and set up an 'Osmanthus Cake Company' specifically for the osmanthus cakes that His Majesty likes to eat. They did not invite the masters to come into the palace to make them, but purchased them directly from outside.  It says on the account that they are original pastries shipped from Jiangnan Kuaima. They are obviously fresh snacks made outside the palace, but when it comes to the authentic original flavors shipped from Jiangnan, the cost on the account is very high."

    "When Your Majesty eats this sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it has to go through more than ten steps including purchasing, raw materials, cooking, cooking, etc., before this sweet-scented osmanthus cake can be eaten into His Majesty's dragon's mouth. And for this cake, the palace treasury  We have to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver. Think about it, Lord Marquis, is it really necessary to spend so much? It¡¯s not like the people who handle these links are greedy step by step"

    Qin Kan thoughtfully said: "So that's it. I heard that this year the mining taxes from Sichuan and Yunnan were escorted into the inner treasury. Not even two months later, the inner treasury spent it all. It turned out that these eunuchs were secretly looking for  Just for the sake of fame"

    Ding Shun smiled and said: "Of course Liu Jin and Ma Yongcheng are the ones who are the most greedy. Your Majesty thought that the internal treasury was full at this moment, but he never expected that it had already been gnawed away by moths. This time, we are building a leopard house. Let's see what Liu Jin and the others will do."  Do it, greedy for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousandsTwo, your majesty may not notice that all the more than two million taels of silver in the inner treasury were wiped out in one fell swoop. Your majesty can't even repair the house himself, and it's hard not to raise any doubts.  "

    Qin Kan also smiled and said: "In this case, Eunuch Liu must be very anxious at the moment. The amount of money needed to build the Leopard House is not a small amount. Eunuch Liu has only been rich for less than a year. Even if he repays all the money he once embezzled, it will probably be too much."  Far from enough."

    "Master Marquis, do we want to fan the flames and make things worse for Eunuch Liu? As long as the news that the internal treasury has been exhausted is reported to Heaven, His Majesty will be furious. Under strict orders, Liu Jin's life will be inevitable  No guarantee"

    Qin Kan shook his head and said: "It may be possible that Long Yan is furious, but your majesty will never kill Liu Jin because of his greed for money. Your majesty values ??love over profit. The love he has gained from being a servant for ten years cannot be wiped out by a mere amount of money.  No matter how much scolding or how many sticks are applied, Liu Jin cannot be shaken to his core."

    While they were talking, a servant from the palace hurried into the hall and said, "Master Marquis, we have a distinguished guest."

    "who?"

    "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law have arrived from Shaoxing. At this time, the car has arrived at the door, and the housekeeper is leading the servants to unload their luggage."

    Qin Kan¡¯s eyes twitched slightly.

    It's over. After Liu Daxia was overthrown, they invited Du Hong to Beijing. They originally planned to promote him to the Minister of War. Unexpectedly, this matter did not go well in the end. Liu Jin took control of everything. Du Hong arrived today as promised.  As a result, Qin Kan himself was unable to promote him to the capital for the time being, due to Du Hong's violent temper and his never-so-harmonious relationship with his son-in-law

    Seeing Qin Kan¡¯s expression change dramatically, Ding Shun, as his confidant, was naturally aware of the Marquis¡¯s worries at this moment, and immediately became anxious.

    "Master Hou, the promotion of your father-in-law has not been settled for the time being. His old man has come to the capital. What should we do? We can't let him go back to Shaoxing the way he came, right?"

    "Ding Shun, find some enchanting women from the brothels and ask them to seduce my father-in-law in front of my mother-in-law"

    Ding Shun was shocked and said: "Master Hou, what does this mean?"

    Qin Kan gritted his teeth and said: "To make my mother-in-law angry, she slapped my father-in-law unconscious. He will faint for a few days before we start. Give me some time to think of ways to promote him"

    "HouMr. Hou, is this inappropriate?" Ding Shun's cold sweat ran down his cheeks.

    It was the first time that Ding Shun saw his son-in-law being so cruel to his father-in-law, and Ding Shun felt a chill in his back.

    "Hitting is for intimacy, scolding is for love. I hit my father-in-law because I love him. Besides, I didn't hit him. There's nothing wrong with it. Go and come back soon"

    As soon as he finished speaking, an angry scolding suddenly came from the screen at the back of the hall.

    "Ding Shun, if you dare to harm my father, I will dig a hole and bury you alive, believe it or not?"

    The two of them turned around in shock, only to see Du Yan, the mistress of the Qin family wearing a dark red jacket, angrily turning out of the screen, akimbo, glaring at the two of them murderously.

    "Husband Madam, I don't dare." Ding Shun swallowed hard, and the dog reacted quickly: "It was all the Marquis's idea, I didn't say anything."

    "Get out of here! Your Majesty is going to promote you to the rank of Jinyiwei Zhenfu at the beginning of the year. After all, you are also a fourth-grade military attache. You are not doing your job all day long. Do you have that much time?"

    Ding Shun was sweating coldly, as if he had been granted amnesty. He didn't even dare to say goodbye, and his figure turned into a black smoke and disappeared instantly.

    Qin Kan watched Ding Shun run away and sighed with envy and jealousy.

    There was no one in the hall, so Du Yan stepped forward and twisted his arm hard, saying angrily: "My husband is getting more and more crazy. What do you think of my father?"

    Qin Kan laughed dryly: "Are you kidding me? I have always admired my father-in-law like a mountain. How dare I be so disrespectful to him?"

    "I'll settle the score with you when I go back to my room tonight! My parents are already at the door, let's go and greet them."

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Wearing a black Confucian shirt, Du Hong stood at the door with a serious look on his face, occasionally stroking his long beard, and looking majestically at the servants of the Hou Mansion unloading their luggage.

    Mother-in-law Du Wang stood beside Du Hong with a smile. From time to time, she pulled over a maid and asked with a smile on her face how old she was, whether she was getting married and other private matters.

    Qin Kan and Du Yan walked out of the mansion together, and the busy servants immediately stopped what they were doing and bowed to salute.  Qin Kan waved his hand and stepped forward to salute Du Hong and Du Wang respectfully.

    "My son-in-law pays homage to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Thank you for your hard work."

    Du Yanzhu threw herself into Du Wang's arms with tears streaming down her face, and said sadly: "Mom, I miss my daughter so much"

    The two women just hugged each other and burst into tears.

    Qin Kan gave Du Hong a friendly smile, his gentle and elegant appearance did not reveal that the Marquis had a bad idea just now and wanted to plot against him.

    Du Hong looked him up and down and said unhappily: "Are you a Marquis?"

    "Yes, my son-in-law is lucky"

    "What are you doing here?"

    "Marquis of Shanyin, theoretically speaking, half of the Shaoxing Mansion under the jurisdiction of my father-in-law belongs to my son-in-law"
