What everyone didn't expect was that there was a little mess in these three million.

Shuzhou.

This is the place where the imperial court handed over three million guan.

You Jiugong arrived in Shuzhou, he is now an official, and he is the fourth grade of knowing Wancheng government affairs, Wancheng can only be a mansion, it cannot be all the way, which is also not allowed by the Jin State.

Three million is not a small amount.

If it is loaded with money, ten big ships may not be able to fit, so the court used four things to pay for the three million.

Silk, salt banknotes, pig loin silver, gourd gold.

When You Jiugong arrived in Shuzhou, he also knew the composition of this money, and more than three million yuan were confiscated from Guo Gao's house, but the imperial court wanted to leave some for himself.

Therefore, only 600,000 taels of silver were given, only 3,000 taels of gold were given, and some silk was poured, and more than half of them were salt banknotes.

A large box can hold dozens of pieces at most.

You Jiugong arrived, accepted the so-called three million military expenses from Han Jiang, and then moved the money back to his rented small courtyard and waited for it to be loaded and shipped away tomorrow.

Shuzhou prefect Huang Jixuan stopped You Jiugong: "Congratulations, congratulations, in the future, we will be ministers in the same hall, the lower official is just a prefect from the fifth grade, but the prefect is the fourth grade, today the lower official has a banquet, please be sure to appreciate the face." ”

There is certainly no good feast.

You Jiugong thought about it again and again and agreed, after all, he accepted Zhao'an, so he must give enough face to the officials of the imperial court.

Is it a cliché, or is it some other conspiracy?

You Jiugong instructed the people who followed him to be cautious, and explained to everyone, and they must not talk nonsense when they are drunk.

At the beginning of the banquet, Huang Jixuan just kept toasting and saying compliments, but he didn't feel that there was a conspiracy at all.

When the banquet was over, no one was drunk.

Zhao Fan asked: "Sir, is this Huang Governor still obedient to us?" ”

You Jiugong shook his head, he didn't believe that anyone could be obedient, this thing was very strange, but You Jiugong couldn't think of it, in his eyes Huang Jixuan was definitely not a good person.

There will be nothing to do overnight, and no one will trouble them in Shuzhou.

Of course, no one will come to visit.

Until noon the next day, when the cash box was moved to the ship, one cash box did not hold it steady and fell from the boat to the dock.

The box shattered, and an entire box of money was scattered on the docks.

You Jiugong didn't think much about it at all, and directly ordered: "Come and tell all the porters that this is a money reward." ”

The porters cheered loudly and thanked them loudly.

Just when all the boxes were loaded onto the boat, a porter suddenly walked up to Zhao Fan: "Little sir, don't you open this silk bag and check it?" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Fan was puzzled.

The porter said: "The silk is soft and hard, this bag is a little hard, we are grateful for the appreciation, and a few brothers have discussed, although we have not opened the bag, but we have been loading and picking goods for many years." ”

"What?" Zhao Fan was shocked, and hurriedly rushed to a silk bag on the boat to check, and after cutting it with a knife, it was full of sacks.

Zhao Fan ran to the box again, and opened four boxes in a row, the first three boxes were originally supposed to be silver boxes, there were only a few pieces of silver on the top, and there were all lead blocks below, and the fourth box was directly a stone, and there was no fake silver prepared.

Zhao Fan was anxious and hurried to find You Jiugong.

You Jiugong also went to check it himself, and then asked the people he brought to check all the boxes, but the result was that there was not a piece of silver, all the silk was gone, and all the salt bills in the boxes had turned into waste paper.

You Jiugong walked to the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, he didn't feel quite right.

A military attache walked up to You Jiugong: "Counselor, our brother has personally checked it, and he didn't dare to blink yesterday." ”

"There's no hurry." You Jiugong waved his hand: "It's none of your business." ”

The military attache who led the team also arrived at this time, Meng Liao, Meng Zongzheng's distant cousin, and also a good man in the Meng family's army.

Meng Liao hugged his fist in front of You Jiugong: "Know, this thing is strange, my brothers will not make mistakes, they didn't dare to leave yesterday." ”

You Jiugong asked, "What has changed?" Or something special, or something that happened? “

"Know, it's nothing, except that they brought food in the evening, saying that there was wine, and there were not enough people to let our brothers help carry the wine, which was less than a cup of tea, so many boxes and silk bags, they couldn't replace us in a cup of tea."

You Jiugong sighed: "There is no ship that has not left the dock, otherwise it would be even more intelligible." Although it is troublesome at the moment, as long as the ship does not leave, the matter will be clear. It's just that we don't have much time to discuss with someone, this matter is a bureau, and we don't know who set up the bureau. ”

"I don't understand, please refer to everything."

Meng Liao knew that his brain was not good, so he didn't express any opinions.

You Jiugong was actually panicked in his heart, but he couldn't show it, otherwise the people who came out with him would have no backbone, and he couldn't panic, and his panic also made the court see the joke.

What to do?

What to do?

You Jiugong clenched his fists, his fingernails were drilling into the flesh, and his palms were already oozing blood, and he was constantly thinking about how to break the situation in this matter.

Money is impossible not to do.

Three million is a huge amount of money for Wancheng.

Just left, Wancheng's face was lost.

But what to do?

You Jiugong took a deep breath: "Meng Liao, arrange for someone to carry the box and place the box directly on the main hall of the Yamen of the Shuzhou Prefect." Send people back and send troops and horses to come. put on a posture of attacking Shuzhou, and at the same time prepared to really attack Shuzhou, wait for me, wait for me to write a letter. ”

After a pillar of incense, You Jiugong met Huang Jixuan in the main hall of the Yamen of the Shuzhou prefect.

"Governor Huang, what does this mean?"

You Jiugong pointed to the fake silver in the box, and the stone tone was very unhappy.

Huang Jixuan circled around the box twice: "You Governor's Mansion, what does it mean, I don't understand." ”

You Jiugong sat down: "I don't want to solve the case, and I don't have the heart to study how you changed our Wancheng's money, I want three million taels of silver, and now, if I have one or two less silver, my Wancheng army will level Shuzhou City." I will give you two days, and after two days, you will either see three million taels of silver, and the military expenses of my Wancheng army this time are six hundred thousand taels. Or, you understand. ”

After You Jiugong finished speaking, he got up and walked out.

Huang Jixuan hurriedly went to stop: "You Jiufu, your Wancheng army can't be untrustworthy, the imperial court has given you three million yuan in military expenses, and you wait for Zhao'an to become an official of the imperial court, how do you let the people of the world look at it repeatedly." ”

You Jiugong had a cold face: "When my Wancheng army sets foot in Shuzhou City, you will know what the people of the world think." ”

This time, no matter how Huang Jixuan persuaded or stopped him, You Jiugong had already left the yamen, went straight to the wharf, got on the boat, and the boat left the wharf and stopped on the river outside the Yangtze River wharf in Shuzhou City.
