Volume 1: The Wind Rises and Peace Chapter 66: Robbery of money is a crime, this is not a crime

Then turn your attention to Ping'an County.

Finally, after some explanation, Mu Cheng returned to the main hall, looked at Wang Le and asked, "When will you get the silver?" ”

Wang Le pondered for a while, and then replied to Mu Cheng: "Of course, the sooner the better, after all, now is the critical moment of our plan, and there are places to spend money everywhere." ”

Mu Cheng nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Wang Le with some wonder and asked: "I just can't figure it out, others can't wait to get more silver for the work of the yamen, why do you have to put the silver upside down when you come here?" ”

Wang Le smiled, and then replied to Mu Cheng with a straight face: "Actually, I just want to make some contributions to the country." ”

Mu Cheng glanced at Wang Le deeply when he heard this, shook his head lightly and said, "I don't think so, you don't look like the kind of person who can suffer." ”

Wang Le's face instantly fell, and then he smiled bitterly at Mu Cheng: "If I weren't the kind of person who can suffer, I wouldn't have given five thousand taels of silver to one ear in the first place." ”

In fact, Mu Cheng is clear about Wang Le's identity, but he has never made it clear in front of Wang Le, and today he saw Wang Le taking the initiative to find out, so Mu Cheng took the initiative to answer.

"Can you tell me about your past? I always felt like you came out of nowhere. ”

Wang Le pursed his lips, thinking to himself that I was still wondering where I came from, you ask me, I ask who to go.

Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Le's mouth said helplessly: "I suffered a serious head injury two years ago, and I have forgotten many things. Even the things that the cabinet told me about were only recently remembered. ”

Wang Le firmly believed in his heart that Mu Cheng did not know his true identity yet, or that Mu Cheng misunderstood his true identity under the influence of certain conditions.

For the current Wang Le, the title of cabinet envoy is very useful. After all, the city of Ping'an County is high and the emperor is far away, are you still pulling me to the capital to confront the cabinet?

Therefore, when Wang Le faces Mu Cheng, he will always mystify his identity as much as possible. And Wang Le also relied on the superiority of the memory of later generations to be able to bluff Mu Cheng.

After all, in this poor and remote county order, where can there be any knowledge.

Mu Cheng didn't think so much in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, Mu Cheng said to Wang Le.

"Let's go, let's go get you some money now."

Wang Le was so happy in his heart that he could finally have money to spend all his time, but his face did not show a slight, and Wang Le, who had a calm face, even wanted to add drama to himself, and to make a drama about treating money as dung.

……

Mu Cheng took Wang Le and several messengers to Qianzhuang, and when the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang saw Mu Cheng, he hurriedly came out to greet him.

"Lord Mu is really a rare guest, what kind of wind blew Lord Mu here?"

Mu Cheng smiled when he heard this, and said to the shopkeeper of the bank: "This official wants to take the reward of the imperial court today, and the troublesome shopkeeper will prepare it." ”

The shopkeeper of the money bank nodded yes, and then beckoned the guys in the money bank to go to the money bank to order silver taels. And the shopkeeper himself beckoned Mu Cheng, Wang Le and others to go up to the second floor of the money village, drink tea and wait.

The setting of the money bank in the Great Wei Kingdom is very strange, the shopkeeper of the money bank does not appear when the customer withdraws a large amount of cash, but the man of the money bank and the guards of the money bank jointly count the remaining silver in the money bank and then report it to the shopkeeper.

After the shopkeeper has mastered the amount of silver taels left, he will ask the customer how much silver he needs to withdraw. After the customer has withdrawn the silver, the shopkeeper will personally go to the treasury to order the silver taels again and hand them over to the guards of the treasury for filing.

This is a process specially set up by the Great Wei State in order to prevent the staff of Qianzhuang from enriching their own pockets, and when Wang Le first knew about this process, the word separation of powers popped up in his mind for some reason.

Nonsense, Mu Cheng and Wang Le went up to the second floor, and the shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang hurriedly beckoned to sit down and personally made a pot of good tea.

Mu Cheng seems to have become accustomed to this, but Wang Le is still enjoying the gold card treatment of the bank for the first time.

After all, even if you count your previous life, Wang Le has to queue up obediently when he goes to the bank, after all, you are so poor, how can anyone entertain you for tea.

After waiting for a short time, I saw a guy running back out of breath, and came to the shopkeeper to whisper a few words, and the shopkeeper immediately asked Mu Cheng with a smile.

"Master Mu, I don't know how much cash I want to withdraw today?"

Hearing this, Mu Cheng looked at Wang Le, and then turned his head to the shopkeeper of the money village and replied.

"100,000 taels, I wonder if the money can be made up?"

The shopkeeper of the money bank was stunned for a moment, and then he could see the expression on his face and began to struggle. After struggling, the shopkeeper of Qian Zhuang seemed to have made up his mind, nodded at Mu Cheng and said: "Although it is a little difficult, we are still willing to try our best to make it, please wait here, I will arrange it." ”

With that, the shopkeeper went downstairs.

Wang Le saw that the figure of the shopkeeper of the money village had disappeared, and then he said to Mu Cheng: "Is this thing reliable?" After all, 100,000 taels is not a small amount. ”

Mu Cheng smiled when he heard this, pointed to the ceiling with his finger, and replied to Wang Le with a mysterious expression.

"People don't care about these walnuts and dates."

Wang Le nodded, it turned out that there was someone up there. That's right, in this kind of era, if you set up a money bank if there is no one above, then you will have been swallowed up long ago and there will be no bones left.

Wang Le wanted to ask something, but saw a messenger panting upstairs, holding a pigeon in his hand.

After the officer went upstairs and saw Mu Cheng, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly handed the pigeon in his hand to Mu Cheng respectfully, and said respectfully.

"Lord Qiqi, the Acropolis is urgent."

During this time period, whether it is Mu Cheng or Wang Le, they will be a little nervous when they hear the word Tianacropolis.

Mu Cheng glanced at Wang Le, but saw that Wang Le had already come over, Mu Cheng didn't have any scruples, and took out the book tied to the pigeon's leg and spread it in front of himself and Wang Le.

When they saw the contents of the letter, their faces turned dark.

After a while, Wang Le gritted his teeth and said to Mu Cheng.

"Master Mu, is this the quality of our intelligence officers?"

Mu Cheng's face was a little embarrassed, and he said with a smile.

"It's not that there are relatively few people in our county who have read books, and this kind of hard-working work can only find these mud legs."

Wang Le was a little speechless, and it took a while before he eased up, and said helplessly to Mu Cheng.

"The clay legs you're looking for are too muddy legs, aren't they? He can't write, can't he draw? ”

Mu Cheng glanced at Wang Le in surprise when he heard this, and asked.

"That's what he painted!"

Wang Le suddenly became angry, only to hear Wang Le's faint sigh.

"If you don't tell me it's a painting, I'll be able to use it as an exorcism."

After that, Wang Le didn't continue to struggle with this kind of issue, and asked at Mu Cheng.

"What's on this?"

Mu Cheng took the letter and looked at it carefully for a while, and then explained to Wang Le.

"Above is the city wall, and two people are hanging on the wall. The meaning of this letter is that someone has entered the Acropolis. ”

Wang Le's heart suddenly tightened, but after thinking about it, Wang Le seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw and ordered the messenger on the side.

"Hurry up and ask Yu Chaoyu County Lieutenant!"

The messenger glanced at Mu Cheng, and saw that Mu Cheng nodded lightly at him, so he rushed downstairs quickly.

Seeing that the messenger had already left, Mu Cheng looked at Wang Le a little strangely and asked.

"What's the mystery here?"

Wang Le thought about it and sighed before explaining to Mu Cheng.

"These two people are the key, and I don't know who they are. If it's one of us, it's okay to say, but if it's someone from the Western Regions Sect, it's likely to affect the trend of our plan. ”

Mu Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked Wang Le, "What trend are we planning?" We're grasshoppers in the same boat now, can't you just spread things out and be honest? ”

Wang Le nodded when he heard this, and said, "The Heavenly Acropolis is our purpose, right?" ”

Mu Cheng nodded when he heard this, and thought to himself, didn't you Wang Le just say a word of nonsense?

At this time, I listened to Wang Le continue to analyze.

"If these two people are our people, that's the best, and everything will be fine. But if it's someone from the Western Regions, there's a problem. If it's a person from the Western Regions, I'm afraid that the Heavenly Acropolis will turn against me. ”

"You mean it's possible that these two people are there to persuade them to surrender?"

Hearing Mu Cheng's question, Wang Le nodded lightly, and then said to Mu Cheng.

"At present, this possibility cannot be ruled out."

Mu Cheng was about to open his mouth and continue to ask, but when he saw that the shopkeeper of the money village had already gone upstairs, he smiled at Mu Chengyi.

"My lord, if you don't disgrace your mission, you can take away 100,000 taels of silver now."

Mu Cheng nodded when he heard this, and said to Wang Le: "Let's go, go and see your cash." ”

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper of the bank, Mu Cheng and Wang Le followed the shopkeeper of the bank to a side room in the backyard.

At this time, there were more than ten large boxes in the wing, and silver ingots were neatly stacked in each room.

Wang Le was overjoyed, and commanded the shopkeeper of the bank.

"I'll arrange for a few people to come with me in a moment."

As soon as the words fell, the shopkeeper's originally smiling face instantly turned like a chrysanthemum.

"It's easy to say, I don't know how many people the officials need?"

Wang Le looked at the dozen or so boxes, and thought about it a little in his heart, and then said to the shopkeeper of the money bank.

"Let's arrange a dozen or twenty people."

The shopkeeper of the money bank seemed to have negotiated a big business, and happily went to find someone.

Wang Le looked a little puzzled, and asked Mu Cheng beside him, "Master Mu, what's the situation?" ”

Mu Cheng smiled when he heard this, pointed to the dozen or so large boxes, and then explained to Wang Le.

"See these boxes, right? Every ten chests moved five zhang is one tael of silver, and you will count how many cubits you have. ”

Wang Le was stunned when he heard this, then looked at Mu Cheng in horror and asked, "Isn't this a money robbery?" ”

Mu Cheng smiled and explained.

"It's illegal to rob money, it's not illegal. By the way, after a while, the shopkeeper brought people over, and even if you don't use it, you have to pay a tip, which is usually three taels of silver per person. ”
