Chapter 165: Don't Go Back!
If such a big event happens, I can't help but report to Ji Yunfei, the editor of the Hanlin Academy.
Han Xiufeng walked out of "Rishengchang" and was about to go to find Ji Yunfei, Li Bantou pulled him and said with a smile: "Fourth master, do you believe me Li Er?" ”
"Of course I believe it, if I can't believe it, the first thing I can think of when something so big happens is you, the second master!"
"Since you can trust me Li Er, Fourth Master, don't rush to report to Master Ji and Master Jiang. Leave this matter to me, I will go and call someone to 'Rishengchang' to keep an eye on, if those grandsons dare to cash in with a bill of exchange, I guarantee that they will get all the stolen goods, and I guarantee that the two thousand taels of silver in the guild hall will be returned to the original owner! ”
How could Han Xiufeng not know that he wanted to catch a few thieves to ask for merit and rewards, but he still said with a bitter face: "Second master, what I lost is the silver ticket of the guild hall, which is used to renovate and expand the guild hall, if I don't report it in time, if I can't redeem the silver in the future, I won't be able to keep my job." ”
"It's not impossible to report it, otherwise, you can help me talk to Master Ji and them, our Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division will not sit idly by and ignore this matter, and I don't need a few people to inform Tongzhou, and I Li Er can handle those grandsons!"
The bill of exchange was stolen on the ground in Tongzhou, and the case should be managed by Tongzhou.
Thinking that if Ji Yunfei knew about this, he would definitely send his family to find the prince of Tongzhou County with his name and letters, and the prince of Tongzhou County would definitely send officials to "Rishengchang" to squat as soon as he received the letter, if he could catch the mother-in-law who stole the bill of exchange, there would be nothing to do with Li Er and even the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's okay, I'll go and help you talk to Master Ji first, but since you have set up this military order, you have to do things beautifully, otherwise I won't be able to deal with Master Ji, and you can't deal with Master Ji either." ”
"Fourth master, you put a hundred hearts, as long as the thief dares to come, I will ensure that things will be done beautifully."
"The thief not only stole the bill of exchange, but also stole the silver bill and scattered silver of my fellow countryman."
"As long as it is seized, it will be returned to the original owner along with the bill of exchange!"
"If it can't be seized, second master, it's not that I don't believe you, but I don't believe your colleagues."
"They dare!" Li Er didn't want to miss this opportunity to invite merit and reward, so he patted his chest and promised: "Fourth master, don't worry, even if it is not captured, I have a way to make that thief compensate." She ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to set up your countryman for the fourth master, dare to steal the money order of the guild, see how I clean her up! ”
"Okay, let's settle it, I'll go tell Master Ji first, and I'll come here to find you in the afternoon."
……
After eating wine at Ji's house last night, Han Xiufeng knew that Ji Yunfei was going to accompany Ao Tongchen to Hanlin Courtyard today, so he didn't go to the northern half of the alley, but went straight to Hanlin Courtyard to find Ji Yunfei.
Hearing that the bill of exchange was lost, Ji Yunfei was really surprised.
Confirming that the money could still be retrieved after losing the money order, Ji Yunfei finally breathed a sigh of relief, stared at Han Xiufeng and asked, "Zhixing, is that Li Er of the Nancheng Terracotta Division reliable?" If it's not reliable, you just wait here for a while, I go in and write a letter to Tongzhou County, and you send it with my name post, I don't believe that Tongzhou County dares to ignore it. ”
"Li Er's work is quite reliable, and he has taken care of the guild hall over the years. What's more, although the bill of exchange has been lost, the shopkeeper of 'Rishengchang' has already spoken, the two thousand taels of silver are indispensable, and now we will see if we can help Young Master Gu recover the stolen silver tickets and scattered silver, so I think it is better to give Li Er a chance to invite merit and reward, after all, the county official is not as good as the current management, and the guild hall will inevitably ask him to do things in the future. ”
"Since the money in the guild hall is fine, let Li Er do it." Ji Yunfei thought about it and sighed: "Fortunately, your father-in-law kept an eye on it and sent a shrewd official to escort him all the way." If it weren't for that servant, we wouldn't know that the money that Master Gu had worked so hard to raise for the guild hall would be taken away. ”
"yes, it makes me feel uneasy just thinking about it." Han Xiufeng thought so.
"This descendant of the Gu family is too indecent, if Master Gu knew that he was so virtuous, he would really be angry. Since he came and couldn't drive him back, let him stay in the capital and don't know what trouble will happen in the future. ”
"Master Ji, I can't say anything, you can talk about him," thinking of the young master of the Gu family, Han Xiufeng muttered: "I bet that he must have a letter from Master Gu to you, and Master Gu must ask you to help take care of him in the letter, so only you can say it." ”
"I can talk about him, but will he listen?" The more Ji Yunfei thought about it, the more he had a headache, and said helplessly: "Qian Junchen just left, Gu Zhixin came again, and Ren He, who doesn't deal with you, is not a good thing, why do we always have such a person in Chongqing Mansion." ”
"There are good people everywhere, and there are bad people everywhere, and besides, they are not that bad, but they are not virtuous."
"Don't say it, don't look at the monk's face and see the Buddha's face, you have to give Master Gu some face, wait for Changsheng and the official to take him to the city, you arrange for him to live first, and when the bill of exchange is over, you will take him to the northern half of the alley."
"Okay, then I'll go first."
………
"Rishengchang" did all the trading of high-ranking officials and nobles, wealthy businessmen, giant armor and even various yamen, and even helped exchange taxes and military salaries from some distant provinces. Whether Master Gu remitted silver from the Chongqing branch, how many taels he remitted in total, and who he remitted it to, for "Rishengchang", it can be figured out in a month at most.
Han Xiufeng was not worried at all that the silver would be taken away, and returned to the guild hall to continue to take care of it.
The big head had no heart or lungs, he only knew that someone from his hometown was coming, and he was still an acquaintance, and he was excited for a day, until Pan Er received someone from Tongzhou to go back to the newly rented yard first, and then hurried to the hall to change Han Xiufeng, he also pulled Pan Er and asked: "Second brother, what about Uncle Yu, why didn't Uncle Yu come?" ”
"He's over there, where is he going to sleep?"
Han Xiufeng could understand Datou's mood, turned around and smiled: "Brother Pan, you keep an eye here first, let Datou go back and talk to Uncle Yu for a while, and come back to keep vigil with you later." ”
"I'll just be here, and it'll be fine if I don't come back."
"It's better to come back, I don't worry about your vigil."
"Second brother, then I'll go back with the fourth brother first." The big man finally showed a smile on his face, and followed Han Xiufeng back.
rushed to the newly rented yard, and finally saw the young master of the Gu family.
Gu Zhixin is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he looks like a rich master at first glance, probably because he lost the bill of exchange, he was a little scared, and he sat in the room with his head hanging and didn't dare to squeak. Han Xiufeng didn't want to complain about him, so he persuaded him to go back to his room and talk to Yu Youfu and Datou.
Yu Youfu was still a little worried, and as soon as he saw Han Xiufeng, he got up and asked, "Fourth baby, it's really okay if you lose the bill of exchange?" ”
"It's really fine, what am I lying to you for?" Han Xiufeng beckoned him to sit and said with a smile: "Uncle Yu, I really didn't expect you to come, I tired you along the way." ”
"I'm not tired," Thinking that this errand was not easy to come by, Yu Youfu couldn't help but smile and said: "Four babies, in fact, Duan Jingcheng and Guan Bantou originally planned to let the pillar come, and the pillar also wanted to come." I thought that if he came to the capital, there would be no one to take care of your house, so I went to tell Guan Bantou, Guan Bantou felt that it made sense, so he let me come, and didn't let him come, because he cried for a day because he didn't come, hahaha. ”
Han Xiufeng was about to say that he also thought about the pillar a little, and Yu Youfu said again: "Fourth baby, there is one more thing, I don't plan to go back this time, the family is all settled, and I will follow you to eat in the future." ”
"Uncle Yu, you don't plan to go back?"
"I'm not going back." Afraid that Han Xiufeng would not agree, Yu Youfu said eagerly: "This is also what Duan Jingcheng and Guan Bantou mean, you are now an alternate inspection, and you have to take office if you don't make up for it." What is the inspection doing, this world is not peaceful, what do Pan Er and Datou know, how can you do it without a competent person to help this official? ”
