Chapter 220 Is the court going to start?

Mr. Cha stared at him for a while and bowed, "This guy, do you want to invite you to have a cup of tea alone, so please enjoy your face?"

Chen Daxia looked at the group of tea guests with doubt on his face and said aloud: "Okay, lead the way!"

Mr. Cha took the lead and then two people stepped forward and said to Chen Daxia: "Please!"

Chen Daxia glanced at the two of them and saw that they were dressed very gentle, but they looked a little fierce.

He didn't care at all, so he followed him.

Mr. Cha was waiting for him in the carriage. He lifted the curtain and went up and teased, "I thought Mr. Chen was just a poor old scholar, but I didn't expect that there was such a luxurious carriage."

Mr. Cha seemed a little absent-minded and only ordered the handlebar to ride the horse, and ignored Chen Daxia for the time being.

As he went along the way, Mr. Cha did not speak, seemed to be pondering, and his expression was extremely troubled.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Daxia naturally wouldn't speak first, but just lifted the curtain and looked outside, remembering the way he went.

The carriage stopped after about one stick of incense. Chen Daxia lifted the curtain and saw a house with a green brick wall.

The door of the house is diagonally opposite the street. The door is painted with grayish white, two lanterns are hung, and the words are written.

Mr. Cha got off the carriage and said to Chen Daxia: "I don't know what to call this young man."

"Sir, call me, Ah Gou, swear." Chen Daxia got off the carriage lane.

Mr. Cha was slightly surprised and called Agou with his face. What if he didn't?

However, he obviously had no intention of joking, and just led him into the room.

The yard is very elegant, with sparrows small and all the internal organs and all the patios and corridors.

There was a maid and an old woman in the room. It seemed that she was Mr. Cha's wife. When she saw Mr. Cha came back, she came forward to greet her with a very kind look.

"Madam, this puppy brother is a friend of his husband's age. You ask Yaer to arrange some food and soybean wine. I'll have some drinks with the puppy brother."

Mrs. Cha smiled and said, "Okay, the puppy brother goes in and sits first."

Then he said to the maid beside him: "Go, come back from making a pot of wine, I'll go cook."

The maid said, "Yes!"

Mr. Cha invited Chen Daxia to come in and sit down.

There was not a drink or food yet, but Mrs. Cha served tea first.

Chen Daxia didn't drink, but just looked at Mr. Cha and said, "I don't know if the teacher invites me to your mansion. What's there to ask?"

Mr. Cha slowly opened the fan and shook it gently.

This golden autumn weather is not hot but a little cold, but Mr. Cha is shaking the fan, which is a bit anxious.

"Where is the guy from?" asked Mr. Cha.

Chen Daxia said: "People in the capital."

"Which is OK?"

"In the past, I used to be a guardian, but later I went to business and traveled around the world!" Chen Daxia replied.

Mr. Cha looked at him, and Mr. Cha read countless people. From the subtle expressions and subtle movements, he could analyze the background of a person.

He thought Chen Daxia did not lie because there was still a sense of awe in his eyebrows, which was the aura that the guards of the house guards all had.

As for him, he said that he was doing business, but he was full of sleekness.

Seeing that he did not hide his origin, Mr. Cha came to the point and asked: "You said in the teahouse just now that the court has never felt sorry for Dongzhe?"

"In a dilemma?" Chen Gou sneered, "It's not just not a dilemma? It's simply preferential treatment."

Chen Daxia's statement was erect and expressed the court's policy measures to the vassal kings and vassals in East Zhejiang and various places over the years.

Finally, he said coldly: "Actually, everyone outside said that the King of Dongzhe wanted to rebel, but the emperor did not believe it. I was doing business in Beijing and met some friends in the officialdom. I heard that many adults have written letters to the King of Dongzhe who intends to rebel, but the emperor suppressed it with all his might and did not report to the Empress Dowager."

"Is there such a thing?" Lord Cha looked solemn.

"It's true. If I hadn't seen that Mr. I had a reputation in the past, I wouldn't have been lazy to say these words so as not to cause trouble. In fact, Mr. I also know that the emperor believed in the King of Dongzhe, would he always believe it? It's impossible, and finally suppress or release it? Seeing that the emperor was happy, it was just the people who suffered in the end."

Mr. Cha thought deeply, but didn't say anything.

Chen Gou stood up and said, "After speaking these words, I am a businessman. I still have more words today. I hope you don't spread the words you are talking about."

After saying that, he bowed back.

Mr. Cha called him, but Chen Daxia did not respond and walked out.

After Chen Daxia went out, he didn't walk too far. Seeing that no one followed him, he turned around and returned from another alley. However, this time he walked around the backyard and crawled on the roof of the tiles, not daring to make a sound, for fear of alarming the people below.

About half an hour later, the maid Yaer came in with a woman in red clothes.

Seeing this woman, Chen Daxia looked dignified and generous, with bright eyebrows and bright eyes, and a white skin in red, and she felt a bit rich.

Chen Daxia thought to himself that this is probably the Miss Cha Duanming mentioned by the boss.

Chen Daxia used to be called Miss Jinning San, but later he followed Hu Qingyun to call him the boss.

After Cha Duanming entered, he sent the maid out.

"Grandpa!" Cha Duanming saluted Mr. Cha.

Mr. Cha nodded, changed his previous gentleness and became majestic, "Sit down, I have something to ask you."

Cha Duanming said: "Yes."

She sat down, sitting in a straight posture, with a toothless smile on her face, dignified and decent, but there was no way for people to guess what she was thinking.

"You are working with the prince to do errands, do you know how much tax has Dongzhe paid to the court over the years?" Mr. Cha asked staring at her.

Cha Duanming smiled and said, "It's the same as the people of other prefectures and counties."

Mr. Cha was slightly angry, "Nothing is said, the people of Dongzhe do not need to pay taxes to the court at all, they only need to pay the royal palace to the Dongzhe Palace. However, the taxes and labor service in Dongzhe are so heavy that the people complained, but the King of Dongzhe declared to the city that this is the government of the court."

Cha Duanming's expression remained unchanged and said lightly: "Who is grandfather talking nonsense? How could the court not collect taxes from Dongzhe?"

"Any fiefdom is a vassal of the border officials to collect local taxes. The Great Zhou Dynasty has always been like this. Even when the old prince was there, the taxes were very light. Don't you be confused? It's just that because of the virtue of the old King Zhejiang, no one would doubt Murong Qian now." Mr. Cha said angrily.

Cha Duanming shook his head gently, "Grandfather, don't listen to others' words, the prince is wise."

Mr. Cha said sternly: "You go back to the palace to pack up your things immediately. Don't stay by the side of Murong Qian anymore. I have long felt that he is not right in his mind. I think people will not make mistakes."

"Grandfather, who has been here today? What did that person tell you?" Cha Duanming asked.

Mr. Cha buckled his cup and continued to sternly. "You don't have to ask so many questions. People with ulterior motives can't hide from the sages of the pilgrimage. If you don't leave, you'll be waiting to be in trouble with him."
