Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Treat Meets a Bad Guest

The robbery incident that occurred in the silver vault of Jufeng Silver was basically calmed down until after the Shen Shi in the afternoon, but the more than four million taels of silver stored in the silver vault had been robbed of ten of the **, and the eight masters of Qiu who rushed to clean up the scene accidentally carried a little bit into their arms, and finally handed over more than 300,000 taels of silver. When the news spread, the rush of Jufeng Silver naturally intensified, and Kangxi and his think tank Wu Ciyou and others also began to consider the causes and consequences of this matter, and sent a large number of people to investigate the matter, and one thing that Kangxi and others were most concerned about was that Jufeng Silver was just a private silver number, why was there so much cash?

"Emperor Qi, the background of the Jufeng Silver Number, the minions have basically found out." Around the time of the unitary hour, Cao Yin, who was ordered to investigate the intelligence, returned to Baiyunguan, where Kangxi and Wu Ciyou were located, and reported to Kangxi, Wu Ciyou, Su Malagu and others: "As Mr. Wu expected, the silver treasury of the Jufeng Silver is really not simple, according to the family of Qian Cheng, the owner of the Jufeng Yin, Ao Bai alone has saved a full 1.9 million taels of silver in the Jufeng Yin, and Aobai's younger brother and other cronies have also deposited a lot of cash in the Jufeng Yin, in addition, There are also many officials who are not affiliated with the Ao worship party who have also deposited silver in the Jufeng Yin, which is quite huge. ”

"It's no wonder that the silver deposit in a private bank is more than a quarter of the national treasury, it turns out that these huge greedy beetles exist there, and they can really be accumulated." Kangxi gritted his fine teeth and sneered: "Have you found the account book of Jufeng Yinhao?" As long as there are those account books, none of these corrupt officials will be able to escape! ”

"Your Majesty, the minion is going to disappoint you this time." Cao Yin replied dejectedly: "The tent of the Jufeng Silver was set on fire in the chaos, and all the ledgers were burned in the fire. The only thing the minions knew was that the total amount of silver bills held by the merchants who ran in front of the Jufeng Silver was definitely not more than 400,000 taels, and there were at least 3.6 million taels of silver in the silver inventory of the Jufeng Silver that no one dared to recognize. ”

"The number of silver tickets that I dare not redeem must be far more than that!" Wu Ciyou, who still had clear whip marks on his face, said categorically: "Let's not talk about other officials, Ao Bai deposited so much cash in the money bank, definitely not because his family's treasury was not safe, but in order to use the Jufeng Yinhao's semicolons all over the five provinces to mobilize money and grain, which could not only allow his henchmen in other places to withdraw activity funds at will, but also escape the eyes of the emperor and the court unknowingly." And if Jufeng Silver wants to do this, it must distribute the silver to other branches, and the silver that Jufeng Silver really keeps for the officials is definitely more than four million taels! Speaking of this, Wu Ciyou changed his gloating smile and said to Kangxi: "However, the grass people still want to congratulate the emperor, congratulate the emperor." ”

"Where does the joy come from?" Kangxi Qi said. Wu Ciyou touched the scar on his face that was still painful, and said with a smile: "Heaven and earth will rob the rich and help the poor, and smashed the silver treasury of the Jufeng Silver to relieve the enclosed refugees, and the officials dare not exchange the silver tickets in their hands, the emperor, you only need to make a holy decree, let the household department protect the reputation of the merchants and people who have silver deposits in the Jufeng Silver Account, and the imperial court will take over the other branches of the Jufeng Silver Number, and the small amount of silver deposited in the hands of the merchants and the people, the huge amount of silver deposited in the Jufeng Silver Account is not the emperor's yours?" According to Wu's estimates, the silver in the inventory of other semicolons of Jufeng Silver that no one dares to exchange is at least more than two million taels. ”

"Yes, thanks to the blessings of the Heaven and Earth Society, the treasury can finally be relaxed this year." Kangxi thought about it, since the officials who held the silver tickets were afraid that the imperial court would investigate the source of their property, wouldn't the silver they stored in the Jufeng Silver Account belong to themselves? Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't help but be overjoyed, but Kangxi was not completely happy, and said in a deep voice: "Having said that, this Heaven and Earth Association is too rampant, Beijing City is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, they can make such a big case!" Starting from poisoning the food in the silver treasury kuding, kidnapping Cha Yihuang to transfer Wu Liuyi's soldiers and horses, assassinating the Hade Gate city gate officials, inciting refugees, and smashing the silver treasury, the whole process is leakless and seamless, such a thief is inevitably too terrible. ”

"After overthrowing Aobai, I must strengthen the attack on the Heaven and Earth Society, and we must not let them continue to run rampant." Kangxi secretly made up his mind. But in this incident of Jufeng Yinhao, Kangxi still had one last question, and asked: "Mr. Wu, the reason why heaven and earth will smash the silver treasury is because they rob the rich and help the poor, so why do they still set fire to the account of Jufeng Yinhao?" And it doesn't make sense to them, isn't it a bit redundant? ”

"It's very simple, the account of the Jufeng Silver was burned down, who is in the best interest?" Wu Ciyou said smartly: "Wu can assert that the Jufeng Silver Account was set on fire, and it was not done by the people of the Heaven and Earth Society!" At that time, the silver treasury of the Jufeng Silver was extremely dangerous, regardless of whether the silver treasury was robbed or not, the imperial court could investigate the accounts of the Jufeng Yinhao, and in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Ao Bai or other officials naturally set fire to the accounts and destroy the evidence of their greed for ink. ”

"I see, it's really another black hand." Kangxi also agreed with Wu Ciyou's point of view, nodded and said: "I wonder how heaven and earth could burn down the tent for no reason, it turns out that these people are destroying evidence." Coming to such a conclusion, Kangxi and Wu Ciyou can't be blamed for being confused, but Yao Qisheng's idea for Wu Yuanming is really vicious - in order to create an opportunity to win over the Aobai party, they did not hesitate to smash the money jar of the Aobai party, for such a purpose, Kangxi and Wu Ciyou couldn't think of it no matter how smart they were. And the other pair of partners, Ao Bai and Bamburshan, have always decided that this is

"Cao Yin, you go and send a decree to Wang Xu, let the household department immediately take over the Jufeng silver number and its semicolon, let him let out the wind, anyone who takes a silver ticket to exchange for cash must show the source of the property, exchange the remaining silver, and charge it into the treasury." Kangxi issued an order: "Give Wu Liu, the commander of the Nine Gates, another decree, one is to comfort Cha Yihuang on the kidnapping of him, and the other is to ask him to step up the pursuit of the Heaven and Earth Society thieves, and would rather kill by mistake than let go!" ”

"Piercing!" Cao Yin agreed, and quickly went down to deliver the decree. Kangxi took out the Western watch that was paid tribute by the foreign domain, looked at the time, and ordered: "Su Ma, you go and call Hugong Mountain, and follow me to the house of Jinghai General Shi Lang for a banquet." Kangxi turned to Wu Ciyou again and smiled: "Mr. Wu, the time I agreed with Shi Lang is almost up, Mr., please move to Shi Lang's Mansion with me and go to meet the old man named Huazi Yao Qisheng." ”

"The grass people obey." Wu Ciyou smiled confidently and said: "Wu is quite interested in that Yao Qisheng, and he really wants to meet this old man named Huazi who has been demoted to eighteen levels in a row." Let's see if he has real talent and learning, or is he a swaggering and deceitful rotten man. ”

"Mr. Wu, if you try to find out that Yao Qisheng really has real talent and learning, please try to subdue him for me and let him be used by me." Kangxi was very confident in Wu Ciyou's poetry and songs, Shang Zhili and Geng Xinghe were moved by Wu Ciyou's improvised two exhortation poems, and knelt in front of Kangxi with tears in their eyes, swearing that they would never support Wu Sangui's family's extortion of military salaries. And in this era, as long as you are a normal reader, there is no one who does not like poetry and songs......

At the same time, Wu Yuanming and his entourage, who were preparing to corrupt the outstanding state cadres of the Qing Dynasty, had just left the house, in order to express his respect for his father-in-law, Wu Yuanming naturally personally helped Yao Qisheng into the carriage, "The road is slippery, father-in-law, please be careful, don't fall." And Yao Qisheng snorted and did not agree, but let Wu Yuanming support him, and was about to step into the carriage, a fast horse carrying a heavily armed middle-aged man rushed from the mouth of the alley, and before Wu Yuanming and Yao Qisheng could react, Huangfu Baozhu had already stopped in front of them like lightning to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, and at the same time shouted: "Be careful, Wu Lu and Wu Fu, protect the prince!" ”

"Don't worry, the person who came is my student." Yao Qisheng snorted coldly. Wu Yuanming was overjoyed and asked, "Father-in-law, is he Shi Lang?" ”

"The teacher walks slowly, and the student Shi Lang asks to see." As Wu Yuanming expected, the person who came was indeed Shilang, the Marquis of Jinghai, who is currently living in Beijing, and was also Yao Qisheng's former disciple. Shi Lang ran until the three abbots in front of Yao Qisheng before dismounting, ran to Yao Qisheng in two steps and knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "The teacher is above, please accept the students' worship." ”

"Hou Ye, please get up, Yao Qisheng is worthy of Hou Ye's gift? Don't kill the old Hanako. Yao Qisheng's salty and indifferent words were sarcastic, and he turned sideways and refused to accept Shi Lang's salute. Shi Lang was an outcast who was expelled from the division by Yao Qisheng, for which Shi Lang also complained and had a lot of disrespect for Yao Qisheng, and the master and apprentice had already formed a relationship, so after Yao Qisheng arrived in Beijing, the last person he wanted to see was this student who had been ranked as a prince. Similarly, if it weren't for Kangxi's will, Shi Lang wouldn't want to come to see the teacher who kicked him out of the school in the first place.

"Teacher, the student already knows about Ren Dinghang's beating of the teacher, the teacher was beaten and humiliated by others, and the student is close at hand but doesn't know about it, and if he can't rescue the teacher in time, the student deserves death." Shi Langcheng said with trepidation: "The student has already handed over the chapter to the imperial court, and he must seek justice for the teacher." ”

"Master Hou still doesn't call Teacher Hanako, our teacher-student relationship has long been exhausted." Yao Qisheng snorted coldly: "As for the old man Huazi being humiliated by that Ren Dinghang, there is already Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Pingxi, who has made the old man Huazi angry, so I don't bother with the Hou Ye." ”

"Thank you Shizi for rescuing Teacher Shi Lang, please accept Shi Lang's worship." Shi Lang's face was not as thick as Wu Yuanming's, and a few hot faces were continuously pasted on Yao Qisheng's cold buttocks, and his face was already a little unbearable, so he had to thank Wu Yuanming instead. And Wu Yuanming hit the snake with the stick, and immediately picked up Shi Lang affectionately, "Big brother don't have to be polite, this is what the younger brother should do, Ying Xiong has worshiped Yao Gong as his father, and from now on, Ying Xiong is General Shi's brother, what else to say thank you or not?" It should be the brother who salutes the eldest brother. ”

"Little traitor, whose brother are you?" Shi Lang was furious in his heart, and just wanted to shirk Wu Yuanming's title, Wu Yuanming had already taken his hand affectionately and said: "Big brother, please come to my brother's house and sit down, our brothers are close and close, big brother, your heroic achievements in fighting in Taiwan to expel the red-haired devil, my brother has admired him for a long time." The younger brother is proud of having such a big brother as General Shi....... ”

"Shizi, Shi Lang won't go in." Shi Lang broke away from Wu Yuanming's pull in disgust, and said: "Shizi, Shi Lang came this time to invite Teacher Yao to the family for a banquet, the banquet and wine and food at home have been prepared, just ask Teacher Yao to move Shi Lang's mansion, and you won't bother the world." Saying that, Shi Lang turned to Huangfu Baozhu and said, "This should be the Huangfu General who is known as the immortal general, right?" I have heard your name for a long time in Xia Shi Lang, and how about I talk about it in the lower mansion? ”

"What about me? What about me? Wu Yuanming heard that Shi Lang didn't want to invite him, and hurriedly said shamelessly: "Big brother, you only invite your father-in-law and General Huangfu, why don't you invite your brother to your house for a talk?" Does the eldest brother look down on the brother? Brother is so sad, woo ....... As he spoke, Wu Yuanming wiped the corners of his eyes a few times without tears.

"I already look down on you little traitor!" Shi Lang muttered in his heart that Shi Lang didn't want to invite Wu Yuanming to his house. In addition to looking down on Wu Yingxiong's reputation, the more important reason is that Kangxi and Wu Ciyou are also going to appear at the dinner, preparing to use the banquet as a name to envelop Wu Yuanming's think tank generals, with Wu Yuanming present, Kangxi and Wu Ciyou will have more scruples. After thinking about it for a while, Shi Lang made another excuse and said: "Forgive me, Shi Lang prepared some coarse tea and light rice today, which is not suitable for entertaining the prince of Pingxi, so I don't dare to be ugly in front of the prince." Another day, Shi Lang must prepare delicious wine and food, and then invite the prince to come to the cold house. ”

"It's okay, the fish produces phlegm and the meat makes a fire, the cabbage and tofu keep it safe, brother, I don't like the wine and food are simple." Wu Yuanming was willing to let go of the opportunity to have a good relationship with Shi Lang, the first general of the navy, and insisted on going to Shi Lang's house with Yao Qisheng for a banquet. But Yao Qisheng, who had become an old goblin, found that Shi Lang's words were insincere, and guessed that there must be something strange about today's banquet, and this strangeness must be related to Wu Yingxiong. Yao Qisheng spoke: "The old man called Huazi has already recognized Wu Yingxiong as his son, if you don't want to invite the old son called Huazi to go with you, then the old name Huazi doesn't need to go." ”

After that, Yao Qisheng secretly glanced at Huangfu Baozhu, pretended to be angry and said: "Child, since Hou Ye looks down on our father and son, then we should go and do our own business, and Hou Ye please go back." Huangfu Baozhu also spoke: "General Shi forgive me, Huangfu Baozhu has the important task of protecting the prince, the prince is there, the pillar must be there for personal protection, if the prince does not go to the banquet, then the Huangfu Baozhu will never go, please General Shi to investigate." ”

"This, this ......." Shi Lang, who was strictly ordered by Kangxi to invite Yao Qisheng and Huangfu Baozhu, had no choice but to give in: "Since the prince doesn't think that Shi Lang's family has poor food, then invite the prince to go to the banquet with him, and I hope that the prince will not refuse." ”

"The eldest brother invites him, but the younger brother dares to shirk it?" Wu Yuanming said happily: "The younger brother heard that the eldest brother has four sons, that is, the nephews of the younger brother, and the younger brother meets them for the first time, so he has to give some meeting gifts." Wu Lu, go and bring the Sifang Duan Yan that my father gave me ten years ago, and bring it to my four nephews. Wu Yuanming said in his heart that he had already recognized Yao Qisheng as his godfather anyway, so he would recognize Shi Lang's son as a righteous son, and if he suffered a little loss, he would claim Shi Shilun as a righteous son......
