Chapter 169: Catching Stolen Goods
In fact, Lei Shaoxuan came to Fang Qing for a reason, when he reported on the admission, he found that Fang Qing was a monk and obviously had a good impression of him.
The King of Qi is powerful, and he can't deal with it in a short period of time, what about the Guozijian? What about the monks? The monks should be able to deal with mortals, even if they can't make a move, it's good to be shocked.
If you can let Fang Qing come forward and deter King Qi, you can also save yourself some trouble.
Xijing is not a bitter sea death row camp, everything can be solved with a knife, you can't slaughter the king of Qi with one sword, and die in the world from now on, right?
Entered Wenyuan Pavilion to find Fang Qing, but unexpectedly found that Shen Lun and Su Min were both monks, and they didn't know what method to use, their spiritual power was restrained, and they couldn't see that they were monks, if it weren't for their delusional eyes, Lei Shaoxuan wouldn't be able to see it at all.
What surprised him even more was that Shen Lun, who was sarcastically ridiculed by him at the beginning, said that he was merry in Fenglou, but he was the secretary of Guozijian and the number two person in Guozijian, which made people laugh.
Shen Lun seemed to know his plan at a glance, and eagerly participated in it, and Lei Shaoxuan couldn't help but be happy.
Fang Qing was extremely honest, Su Min was informal, and Lei Shaoxuan was surprised to find that Shen Lun was extremely cunning.
More cunning and shameless than himself, he can't be said, and directly helped Lei Shaoxuan make a long list of thefts.
"It's good to have a witness. Shen Lun stroked a few strands of goatee and said confidently: "The Guozijian is a sacred place, and you should have the courage to catch thieves and punish illegal things such as robbery, how can you stay out of it." ”
What does the sacred have to do with catching thieves? Lei Shaoxuan couldn't cry or laugh, but he suddenly liked this old man.
In front of Fang Qing, Su Min, and Zhang Qianhua, Lei Shaoxuan and Shen Lun discussed the origin and characteristics of each item one by one, as if they were confessing.
The more he discussed, the more Shen Lun liked Lei Shaoxuan: he saw the essence of affairs at a glance, did not stick to the rules, was treacherous and cunning, but was not greedy, and did not lose his nature.
Shen Lun is not a person who sticks to the rules.
It's a pity that Lei Shaoxuan doesn't have a spiritual root, otherwise, he can be accepted as a closed disciple, Shen Lun thought secretly, and sighed secretly.
Accepting apprentices not only depends on qualifications, but also has a very important temperament.
When they came to the small courtyard, everyone was stunned.
"You live in such a humble courtyard, did you borrow the 40,000 taels of silver that you photographed Xiangjun?" Su Min's eyes flickered, and he said worriedly, "Isn't the list of thefts a bit long?"
Fang Qing also felt a little excessive, and said unnaturally: "Yes, do you want to reduce something?"
Lei Shaoxuan looked at Shen Lun and said with a smile: "But I did lose the things on the list, why don't you arrange a more luxurious courtyard for Shen Lao, throw the people trapped in my house into it, and then arrest them?"
Is this okay?Fang Qing and Su Min looked at each other, crying and laughing.
At this moment, Lei Shaoxuan is still unwilling to give up, and he doesn't know whether he is determined or greedy.
"Bigger luxury mansions, I want them too, where can I find them?" Shen Lun glared, pushed open the courtyard door, and said, "When did the small courtyard here become your home?
It's so shameless, the old ones are more shameless than the younger, and one is more shameless than the other.
In this way, wouldn't it become Shen Lun's black eating black, and how could the stolen items become the things of the country's eunuch? Lei Shaoxuan couldn't cry or laugh.
Su Min's face was crimson, how could Guozijian have such a student gentleman? I am really ashamed to be with him, but it seems that he has a thick skin, and if he eats enough, he can just eat it himself.
Zhang Qianhua woke up and was willing to spend 40,000 taels of silver to photograph herself, but the list of lost reports was too small?
The longer the list of thefts, the more worthy of his own worth, Zhang Qianhua suddenly felt that it was natural for Lei Shaoxuan to do this, and couldn't help but straighten his chest, like a proud little hen.
"What kind of formation is this?" Shen Lun saw at a glance the strangeness in the courtyard.
"The Nine Palaces Ecstasy Array of the Military Intelligence Department of the Southern Army. Lei Shaoxuan said confidently.
Using formations against mortals is also forbidden by monks.
In order to be able to escape, hide, and snipe, the Military Intelligence Department has collected a lot of simple formations that do not use spiritual power.
The small courtyard is small, and the simple formation can't actually trap the elite sergeants, but the Nine Palaces Ecstasy Array placed by Lei Shaoxuan has no spiritual power on the surface, and the nine bamboo sticks used as the base of the formation are smeared with Zhang Qianhua's blood.
Blood, in fact, is also a kind of spiritual power, but Zhang Qianhua is a mortal, and the Nine Palace Ecstasy Array here cannot be regarded as a monk dealing with mortals.
It is certainly not taboo for mortals to deal with mortals.
Of the four who broke in, one fell into the well, shivering from the cold, his face was blue and his teeth chattered up and down; two were injured by a wooden blow and kept spinning in the courtyard; and one was stabbed with a bamboo stick and collapsed on the ground.
All four were captured by the guards of the Imperial Guard.
At night, the palace study is brightly lit.
Wu Tai smashed everything in the room, and the floor was full of porcelain shards, scattered books and tea.
"How can they say that I instructed the four to steal?" Wu Tai was furious.
The four men admitted it themselves. The housekeeper said cautiously: "They sneaked into Lei Shaoxuan's mansion to ambush, and were caught on the spot, and they couldn't admit that they were going to kill someone, so they could only admit to stealing." ”
"So Lei Shaoxuan made a list? A total of 512,800 taels were lost, and he generously erased a fraction of 19 taels of silver?"
Wu Tai kicked on the butler's head, and said angrily: "That broken courtyard is only five hundred taels, and there are twenty-seven treasures?
The housekeeper covered his face and crooked his mouth and said: "Because Lei Shaoxuan once spent 40,000 taels of silver to photograph Huaniang Xiangjun, it is credible that there are 512,800 taels hidden in the courtyard, and he thinks that he doesn't want to show his wealth, so he lives in seclusion in the alley." ”
In fact, King Qi knew in his heart that with Lei Shaoxuan alone, even if he reported the loss of nineteen taels of silver, he could make him look untrustworthy, the key was that Lei Shaoxuan had a national eunuch behind him.
With Shen Lun here, let alone 500,000 taels, even if the loss is reported to be 5 million taels, the government has to admit it first.
"Shen Lun's old thing said that if the king of Qi did not admit this account, he would sue the emperor. ”
The housekeeper said cautiously: "Just rely on the testimony to sue the royal court, pay some price, and the lord can also suppress this matter, and in the end, it will not be resolved." The problem is that almost all of the items listed in the stolen list are sold in the Qi Palace, or on the counters of his subordinate businesses, and if he does not recognize them, he will send someone to catch the stolen goods. At that time, the stolen goods, no, are complete with physical evidence, and the trouble will be even greater. ”
Wu Tai slumped in his chair, full of remorse.
Why do you have nothing to provoke Lei Shaoxuan? Isn't it just a Xiangjun? The auction, the one with the highest price wins, and it is not aimed at himself.
In order to breathe a sigh of relief, it is now a tenfold price.
If Shen Lun really wants to sue the royal court, what can he do to explain that the items in them are his own? Many things are here for bribery; if he sends people to catch stolen goods, and the business name is labeled as selling stolen goods, will he be able to do business in the future?
"Compensation!" Wu Tai gritted his teeth.
Although Wu Tai is worth tens of millions, there is not much cash, and the Qi Wangfu has about 100,000 taels of cash at most.
lost 512,800 taels of silver, emptied all the working capital, and could only borrow money to live.
Queen mothers, queens, concubines, princes, princesses, princes and ministers, weddings and funerals, where can you save money? You can't lose the face of the king, you can only slap your swollen face and become fat.
The only thing that is not afraid of losing face is to let the subordinates eat a few more pickles, or make a few cups of good tea themselves, and they can only buy less clothes, let alone pretend to be romantic.
"In the future, stay away from the surnamed Lei, who dares to approach him to make trouble, break the dog's legs, and expel him from the palace. ”
Wu Tai's roar echoed in the palace.
An autumn rain and a cold.
After a few autumn rains, the weather in Xijing gradually became colder.
After Li Hui entered the palace, there was no news, Zhang Qianhua had already been rescued, but there was a matter of concern.
Yuan Wenbo was once one of the most famous figures in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and anyone who tried to inquire about him would be noticed.
Lei Shaoxuan could only let go of the idea of listening to his daughter's news, and waited for Guozijian to enter the school, and then look for an opportunity.
Fortunately, although Yuan Wenbo was exiled, his wife and children were not implicated and did not need to be rescued.
Yuan Wenbo's original intention was not to rescue his daughter, but to take care of and take care of him, and to help him at critical times.
There were still a few days before entering school, and Lei Shaoxuan remembered Monk Moro.
At the beginning, the Moro monk asked Lei Shaoxuan to worship him as a teacher, and asked him to send a Buddha ring to Yongning Temple in Xijing.
Entrusted by others, let yourself keep your promises.
Back in the place, the people he interacted with were all civilians, but Lei Shaoxuan still liked to wear the uniform of a colonel.
Although there are some inappropriateness, and I don't know why, Lei Shaoxuan is not reluctant to change the habits brought back from the military camp and the death row camp, or he thinks that he is still a death row prisoner in his heart.
The tight leather armor gave him a sense of security.
Lei Shaoxuan left home and walked along Shuichi Lane towards Yongning Temple.
The autumn wind blows the dense ginkgo trees, and the golden ginkgo leaves cover the pavement of the pond lane, like a golden ribbon, which is beautiful.
Walk out of Shuichi Lane, cross Hujia Street, cross the Bali Bridge, cross the Datong River that runs through the city, and enter Ci'en Temple Street.
The ancient trees on both sides of the street are shady, and the ginkgo biloba and the pine are separated by each other, and the verdant and golden are blended, and the clouds are bright.
A monastery occupies the whole street, the temple is full of cigarette smoke, Sanskrit sounds, and the flow of people outside the temple is like a tide, and the traffic is endless.
"Auntie, why is this place so lively?"
Lei Shaoxuan asked an old man who sold incense on the roadside, with wrinkles on his face and a peaceful face.
The first emperor destroyed the Buddha and destroyed the temple, and few temples were so lively.
"The Temple of Mercy and Grace is an ancient temple that has been passed down for thousands of years. The old man smiled and said: "Seeking Buddha in Ci'en Temple is the most effective, so the incense here is prosperous." ”
"Is this the case on weekdays?" asked Lei Shaoxuan.
The old man looked at Lei Shaoxuan strangely and said, "Today's Double Ninth Festival, the whole family goes to the temple to seek Buddha, don't you know?"
After looking up and down, he suddenly said, "You just came back from the barracks and didn't enter the house, right?"
"You are a soldier, killing the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, and you have to enter the temple to worship the Buddha and bless you safely. The old man said with a sincere face: "On the Double Ninth Day, the family will be reunited, and your family will be safe." ”
"I didn't bring any money. Lei Shaoxuan said with an embarrassed face, in fact, he didn't want to enter the temple and delay his time to Yongning Temple.
"What did the young man say? What kind of money does the soldier who protects the country and the family want to ask for peace?" The old man glared and looked angry, and forced a handful of incense into Lei Shaoxuan's hand.
Lei Shaoxuan smiled bitterly, the old man's sincerity made him unable to refuse.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll give you money next time. Lei Shaoxuan said sincerely.
"Let's go!" the old man pretended to be impatient and said, "Ask the Buddha to keep him safe, and his family to be safe." ”
Family? Lei Shaoxuan was sad.
The old man's kindness was difficult, and Lei Shaoxuan could only enter the temple with incense.
