The front is fairly clean, but the backyard is piled with carrion, and it stinks.

"Scholars do business, huh." Wang Xiao was a little disgusted.

There are groupers and the like in the water tank, the amount is not large, and most of them are dying, and Bai Yizhang obviously didn't make much money in this business.

The three of them searched through the store, but they couldn't find a place to hide the silver.

"Aren't you here?" Qin Xuance was a little discouraged.

Qin Xiaozhu covered his nose, looked at the backyard, and suddenly said, "I haven't found it there yet." ”

The spot she pointed to was disgusting.

The ground was covered with bloody hay, and a large pile of fish entrails was piled on it, and it stinked.

"It's a shame that he can figure it out!"

Qin Xuance scolded angrily, untied the strong rope in Bai Jihe's hand, kicked him on the cheek, and said, "You go and get it away!" ”

The fishy smell accumulated over the years made Bai Jihe vomit several times before he could get rid of the things on the ground.

"Nothing. Not here? ”

"This is it! Look, it's not a stone, it's a whole board......"

"But there's no keyhole."

Wang Xiao covered his nose and observed it by candlelight for a long time before pointing to a place and asking Bai Jihe to pick open the fish on it.

"Vomit"

"Niang Xipi, hide some silver, as for it? His brain is spent on state affairs, and the world has already been prosperous. ”

"It's a keyhole, and I try the key ...... quickly"

When the board on it was lifted, a basement appeared.

There were still several bags of dried earthworms piled up in the warehouse, and it was not until they removed these disgusting things that they found several large boxes of silver ingots.

Geng Dang and Zhuang Xiaoyun led people to move money.

Qin Xuance scolded and said: "This old dog is hidden so tightly, it is only more than 20,000 taels. ”

"Mother, Xipi! The money that he was greedy for with all his might didn't spend, but he hid it so painstakingly, what did he do it for? Qin Xiaozhu kicked Bai Jihe and said, "What should I do about this?" ”

Qin Xuance said: "That must be clicking." ”

The next moment, Wang Xiao picked up the top door stick and knocked it on Bai Jihe's head.

"Dizzy?" Wang Xiao asked.

Bai Jihe let out an "oops" and began to cry.

Qin Xiaozhu hurriedly kicked him and stunned him, and smiled at Wang: "What are you doing?" I've taught you to mend the knife! ”

The king smiled and said, "Let's not kill him, keep it." ”

"Doesn't that scare the snake?"

Wang smiled: "It is to startle the snake." Didn't you hear him? There are still 80,000 taels in the hands of the Wen family......"

Wen Bojian, the head of the Wen family, was seventy and sixteen years old at the time, and he was appointed as a minister in Taichang Siqing.

The children and grandchildren of the Wen family also have many outstanding in official and commercial affairs.

Wen Bojian's eldest son served as the prefect of Dengzhou, the second son served as a member of the household department, the eldest grandson served as a bookkeeper in Taichang Temple, and the third grandson was a second-class jinshi who was preparing for Shu Jishi......

As for other relatives: Wen Bojian's brother-in-law is Zuo Jinglun, an assistant minister of the cabinet, and his niece-in-law is Qian Qian, the left waiter of the Criminal Department......

And the children of the family who do not follow the official path still run the large and small industries of the Wen family.

Through these industries, the Wenjia not only had a relationship with the Left Party and the Zhejiang Party, but also had inextricable ties with the Kun Party. Connections are like deep roots of an old tree, intertwined and intertwined......

Wen Hongda was twenty-three years old at the time, ranking seventh among the grandchildren of the Wen family. He couldn't study, so he started to take care of his business. On weekdays, he receives people and treats things, and patrols and supervises the various shops of the Wen family.

Wen Hongda usually has the best relationship with money. Now that Qian Cheng is dead, he has no shortage of friends.

How can you lack friends if you have money?

At this time, the Qinglou banquet was held, and he was drinking flower wine with Bai Jianzheng.

Bai Jian is the fourth son of Bai Yizhang, the household servant, and his appearance is a little treacherous.

Wen Hongda really didn't understand why a person like Bai Shilang would give his son such a name as Jianzheng.

Oh, thrift to cultivate virtue, honesty to raise righteousness...... Probably because of him: the five elements are incorruptible.

Three rounds of drinking.

Wen Hongda stroked the beautiful prostitute next to him and said with a smile: "It's a pity that Qian Cheng died, he told me before he died that he wanted to marry the sick girl of the Zuo family." It's embarrassing, Zuo Mingxin is as beautiful as Xi Shi, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the opportunity to kiss Fang Ze. ”

Bai Jianzheng took a leather cup from the beautiful prostitute sitting with him in his mouth, and said with a smile: "He failed to marry, but you and I still have a chance." But if you want me to say, the sister of the Zuo family is called enough, how to say it, the quiet girl is very different......"

Is it the quiet girl Qishu, the fool Wen Hongda shook his head in his heart, and secretly sighed that Bai Jianzheng's knowledge is also worthy of being the son of the household servant?

After drinking two more glasses of wine, Bai Jian patted the people around him on the cheek and said, "You go down, I will talk to Wen Gongzi privately." ”

"Hey, the two masters are big men, what can be the point of talking privately?" The two prostitutes threw out a flattering remark, but they still retreated.

Bai Jianzheng's eyes were shining, and he said lightly: "Tang Wei has already captured Xi'an City......

Wen Hongda snorted: "So what. Can you really compete with the official army? ”

Bai Jianzheng said: "For the sake of caution, my father plans to transfer the silver to the south, in case it is really like the Zhao family's southern crossing in a few years." ”

"Brother Bai is too worried."

"There are many places where silver is used in the old mansion in Kunshan."

Wen Hongda had the heart to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he also understood that this matter had nothing to do with the destruction of Xi'an City.

That's just an excuse, but it's actually that: Dongchang is investigating Bai Yizhang.

But what Bai Jianzheng didn't say in his heart was: Last night, 20,000 taels of silver in his house were stolen.

"Take all 80,000 taels?" Wen Hongda said, "By the way, there are also five thousand taels of profit." ”

He didn't want to look stingy, so he didn't persuade him anymore.

Bai Jianzheng nodded and said, "Yes, I want silver." ”

"Cash?" Wen Hongda groaned: "It's not good luck to cash in this year. ”

"Ship it to Tianjin Wei and take the sea route." Bai Jianzheng muttered: "You also know the identity of your father. If you exchange money in the ticket number, you will inevitably leave a ...... at the end of your hand."

"Okay." Wen Hongda nodded and said, "I'll ask my father for instructions when I go back." ”

"It's better to be able to leave tonight. In addition, arrange more guards, and now there are many thieves in Gyeonggi...... Qian Chengke died at the hands of robbers. ”

"Leaving tonight?" Wen Hongda was a little frightened, secretly wondering what had happened to the Bai family?

Bai Jianzheng understood what he was thinking, narrowed his treacherous eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "By the way, Yao Shangshu is about to be promoted." ”

Wen Hongda was stunned, where can Yao Wenhua, the head of the household, be promoted to when he is old? It's nothing more than a Guanglu doctor......

Meaning, Bai Yizhang has to go further?!

So, at this time, he was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly transported the silver out?

Thinking of this, Wen Hongda arched his hand and said solemnly: "Brother Bai, don't worry, the younger brother will definitely make arrangements." ”

The two talked about business, and the shrewdness in their respective eyes faded. Both of them returned to the posture of the second ancestor who couldn't hold up the wall in the mud.

"Brother Wen sit down for a while, I'll go and call the girls back, haha......"
