Zhao Ji enjoyed himself all night and didn't get up until two strokes in the morning. Clean up yourself, and then a maid will bring you to the hall for dinner.

Wu Jin greeted him with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhao worked hard, was he satisfied last night?" ”

"Satisfied, satisfied. Brother Wu is really too kind to Zhao, and Zhao deserves it! Zhao Ji's words came from the bottom of his heart.

Wu Jin held Zhao Ji's arm: "Since you and I want to be brothers, we will cooperate more in the future and lay down our own world." Brother Zhao doesn't have to be polite. Come on, please sit down first. ”

Zhao Ji smiled and sat down......

Return to the Chu Palace.

The matter involved secrets, Zhao Ji secretly reported to the prince, and only Ma Hong, the chief of the guard, was beside him. Ma Hong was the chief of the guard and one of the most trusted subordinates of the king of Chu.

Zhao Ji said: "Lord Wang, Wu Jin's plan is that twenty or thirty people will come over there and enter the city in the entourage of the prince's guards." After entering the city, he settled in the palace. So that people don't get suspicious. Then Wu Jin found the target, and after kidnapping the person, he took the silver taels, and pulled them directly to the palace. These men then went out of the city with the king's retinue. Finally, when the dust settles, the hostages are released. “

Ma Hong shook his head and said, "No! In fact, the palace is directly implicated! Conspiring with thieves is a big deal! ”

The King of Chu also looked embarrassed.

Zhao Jidao: "Now Nanchang must be inspected when entering and exiting, and people who have no roots and no source will not only not be able to enter the city, but will also be examined." Dozens of thieves, they couldn't get in at all. Without manpower, this cannot be done. Only the retinue of the royal palace is exempt from inspection, and they can blend in in in a grand manner. ”

"It's exempt from inspection, but you have to check the number of people when you enter and exit." Mahondo.

"The king's retinue went out with a few hundred people, and came back halfway with one hundred and eighty people at a time. Then find another reason to go out and take out one hundred and eighty people. The number of people in and out matches. In the end, all the entourage of the palace returned to the city, which was just in line. Zhao Ji said: "This matter has been seamless, these people hid in the palace after entering the city, and only finally pulled the silver out, pulled the silver back to the palace from the bank, and then sent people out, and there was no trace of this matter." The silver was left in the palace, half of it was kept by the prince, and the remaining half was handed over to Wu Jin another day. If the thieves are allowed to take away the money, first, it is dangerous, and secondly, they will see the money, and they may not be willing to give out half of it afterwards. ”

King Chu's face turned slightly red, and when he heard the silver pulled into the palace, he also moved to swallow it alone.

Zhao Ji continued: "These people are outside, there are still some forces, and they also want to cling to the palace. If you cooperate happily with the palace this time, it will be a big arm if the prince has something to do in the future. ”

The King of Chu hesitated, and Ma Hong asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to ask Changshi Sun Zhengyi again?" ”

King Chu shook his head: "I've been with him for so long, and you haven't seen through him yet?" This man only wants to be safe for himself, and he is as timid as a mouse. It is not possible to consult Him in advance in all things! Tell him afterwards, and he will only have one heart with us. Let me ask you, do you think there is a mistake in Mr. Zhao's talk about bringing people in and out of the city? ”

Mahon thought about it: "Okay, there is no problem getting in and out of the city." ”

The king of Chu asked Zhao Ji again: "What about the plan to kidnap people?" ”

Zhao Jidao: "Not long after the bank opened, almost all of them deposited cleaning fees. But there are still some people who have money in their homes, and Mr. Wu has chosen one person, Mu Zhongren, the head of the Mu family. This person is engaged in porcelain trading on Wujing Road, and he is in-law with Wu Wenyao, the owner of the ready-to-wear store on the same street, and Wu Wenyao's eldest daughter is his eldest daughter-in-law. Wu Wenyao had a very good relationship with the militia group, and he took care of the militia uniforms and bank uniforms, and it was at his instigation that Mu Zhongren deposited all his money in the bank. It is rumored that there are twenty or thirty thousand taels to say the least. “

King Chu said: "How to tie it?" ”

Mu Zhongren has recently become obsessed with the lily girl in Baihuayuan, and has rewarded her a lot, but the girl didn't even touch his hand. Familiar customers of Baiyuan Garden know about this. Just as the lily girl's birthday was approaching, the palace chose a shrewd maid to pretend to be the maid of the lily garden, thinking that the lily girl would lead Mu Zhongren to the West Lake flower boat in the name of celebrating her birthday in advance. Since it was a birthday, Mu Zhongren wanted to please the girl, so he would bring a checkbook. Just on the flower boat, the steel knife pressed his neck and forced him to write a check. “

"Can you take a check and get money?"

"Yes, Mr. Wu asked at the bank, after depositing the silver, he will give a cheque book, who to pay the silver, as long as the amount of silver is written on a cheque and stamped, anyone can go to the bank to withdraw the silver with the cheque. Mr. Wu specially told that if he was afraid that Mu Zhongren would do something with the check, he must clearly tell Mu Zhongren that if he can't take out the silver, he will want his life! Zhao Ji continued: "With the check, the rest of the people prepared the vehicle in advance and waited at the door of the bank, and pulled the silver back to the palace." The people in the mountains followed the royal procession out of the city. Finally, release Mu Zhongren and let him go to the bank to claim compensation by himself! “

King Chu thought for a moment, looked at Ma Hong and said, "Do you think it can be done?" ”

"Sounds good, nothing wrong." Mahon nodded.

The King of Chu pondered for a moment and gritted his teeth: "Then do it!" Tie people up and take silver, they do it, and it can't involve my name! You let Wu Jin go to the arrangement! “

......

Two days later, Shopkeeper Qi went to the bottom of the mountain and came back to drink with Gao Bawang. Gao Bawang was still naked, with Erlang's legs crossed, rubbing his feet with one hand, drinking wine and eating tea with the other, and glanced at the shopkeeper Qi: "Why don't you eat?" “

"I just ate at the bottom of the mountain, and I have something in my head, and I don't dare to drink alcohol, I'm afraid of paste."

Gao Bawang picked up the earthen bowl and sighed: "Let Wei Scar take people there, and he chooses his own handy brother." took the silver and sent it to the palace of the king of Chu, and he was not afraid that he would have two hearts. ”

"He's not familiar with Nanchang, why don't I go with him?"

Wei Scarzi sat in the third position on the mountain. Although the shopkeeper Qi is the second, he is good at strategy, and his popularity is not as good as Wei Scar. Even if Gao Bawang has an accident, it will be Wei Scar's boss.

The shopkeeper Qi will always sit in the position of military division on the mountain, the second in command.

"You registered at the government last time, and Wu Jin also said that this time the risk is extremely high, and there are people from the palace to take care of it, why do you need to go?"

Gao Bawang can trust the shopkeeper Qi, but he guards against Wei Scar.

"The palace brought people into the city and out of the city, I went to Nanchang and stayed directly in the palace to serve Wei Scarzi as a counselor, and I will be fine. I also hope that I can succeed this time, get Wan'er 8,000 silver, and get in touch with the prince. In case there is a chance in the future, we will also be recruited, and we can eat the imperial grain. The shopkeeper Qi said leisurely: "Gao Bawang, you are a general, that is the glory of the ancestors!" "Rape Chinese

"Okay! That's up to you. ”

......

The ancestor worship festival in July is approaching, and Li Chenhao, the king of Chu, is sympathetic to the people's feelings, in order to avoid conflicts with the folk ancestor worship activities. Deliberately a few days in advance, in the cloud mountain breeze view to worship the ancestors. Please observe the Lord Wang Shouyi and preside over the grand blessing auspicious dojo.

On that day, Qingfeng Temple does not accept any idle people.

Early in the morning, the sky was bright, and Li Chenhao, the king of Chu, traveled in a grand manner. The flag opens the way, the flag is displayed, the guards are hundreds of arch guards, the public opinion is served, the guard of honor is followed, and the command is forward. Driving out of Zhengyang Gate, the concubine chariot sedan chair from.

The city gate guards have already been ordered, and the van army, the government servants, and the city gate are lined up to clear the road and send them off.

Two scribes, spreading out the county book, recorded the rare grand occasion of the year.

The team of people and horses went out of the city for several miles, and the clouds and mountains were in sight. The chariot of the king of Chu was driven for some reason, but it suddenly stopped on the spot, and the cavalry was on both sides of the road.

Fortunately, there were no people on the road early in the morning. The chief of the guard, Ma Hong, led a team of cavalry to patrol the perimeter to clear the field.

Wei Scar has dark skin and a short stature. Lying under a few rows of big trees a hundred steps away from the roadside, I saw the mighty and majestic King Chu's honor guard driving along the road, and said to the shopkeeper Qi beside him: "It's really magnificent, majestic!" If I had such a day, it would be worth dying! ”

The two were too close to each other, and a bad breath rushed towards them, and the shopkeeper frowned and said, "This is the prince!" You can't have such a day. Death is bound to die. ”

"Don't you envy?"

"Envious, but I don't want to. In this life, I will be content to be like the general in the team. Shopkeeper Qi turned his head and took a deep breath and said, "Here, play the order flag." ”

A bandit raises a triangular red flag.

A group of 100 cavalry, surrounded by horses. Shopkeeper Qi took Wei Scar and the others to raise their hands and stand up.

Ma Hong took the reins, looked at the crowd, and shouted, "Who is the leader?" What do you call it? ”

"Back to the general, I, Qi Er." The shopkeeper took a step forward.

"How many?"

"There are 24 people in total."

With a wave of his hand, several cavalrymen came over and threw clothes on the ground.

"Put them all on! Move fast. ”

The hands and faces of this group of people were not cleaned, and the clothes were also crooked and cracked, and Ma Hong frowned secretly when he saw it. The shopkeeper saw that the brothers around him were still making fun of each other, although they were all old clothes, they were all better than the original clothes on his body.

Some bandits also tried to take away their changed clothes.

Ma Hong said coldly: "I don't want it, it's inconvenient to hold it." I still have old clothes there, and I want to go into the city to do things, and you can't do this clothes!" ”

Several bandits suddenly smiled, and they all showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, black teeth, and buck teeth.

In the heart of the shopkeeper Qi, a trace of disgust suddenly appeared. I am ashamed that I have been drinking wine and eating meat with these people. Since he has been a shopkeeper in Nanchang City for a few months, the shopkeeper Qi has become more and more unsuitable for life on the mountain. He dreamed of living in a big courtyard like Wu Jin. There are a few more maids, and there are ladies like Miss Jia. Life is perfect.

The shopkeeper Qi was sixteen years old and was taken into the mountains by bandits to be a small bandit. There is an old accountant in the bandit group, who is responsible for the distribution and management of money, food, and materials. The shopkeeper Qi was young and well-behaved, and the old shopkeeper took him with him, and he learned to read and write, and did accounts.

The bandits' accounts are the most complicated of all kinds of business in the world, because you don't know what will be bought and what will be shipped next. It is also necessary to calculate the credit and distribute the rewards. It is not easy to make this account stable, it is a talent.

Talent is needed everywhere.

Even bandits robbed and scrambled. I also know that in addition to women, craftsmen such as bookkeepers, doctors, carpenters, blacksmiths, and even scholars are directly tied up on the mountain and coerced into joining the gang.

The old shopkeeper died, and the shopkeeper Qi took over. The bandits survived several battles, and finally followed Gao Bawang.

People who can write, count, and read are definitely more shrewd than the average illiterate. A few years later, the shopkeeper became the second-in-command. Then, he worked as a cloth shopkeeper in Jia's house in Nanchang. Then, with the bandits, he stood in front of Ma Hong's horse, ashamed of himself.

Outside the city of Nanchang, the king of Chu drove to Yunshan again. A small half of the sergeants, more than 100 cavalry, and 100 infantry were divided to escort a carriage back to Nanchang City.

A cavalryman galloped on horseback, a few miles away, less than half a pillar of incense, the cavalry arrived at the city of Nanchang, holding a token: "The princess suddenly fell ill, and the prince was escorted back to the palace!" Open the city gates, idlers avoid! “

On the city wall, a hundred households complained in a low voice: "There is so much trouble! Fu raised his head again and shouted: "All move, clear the field, clear the road, hurry up." ”
