Chapter 45: Ten Thousand Taels of Gold
Yang Zhun put down the letter and handed it to Lu Yunzhi, Lu Yun quickly read the letter in ten lines and said with a smile: "What is Brother Yang going to do?" "Didn't you say before that I should do everything according to the letter? What else can I do? Yang Zhun said with some worry.
Lu Yunzhi smiled again: "I didn't expect you to remember, why are you so sad." "My uncle Yang Shan's letter said that because he had been sent as an envoy to welcome back the emperor, but he did not have enough funds and no trustworthy person beside him, he asked me to take leave and go with him. I have a very good personal relationship with our Ministry of Rites, so there should be no problem with informing us. But you see, my uncle said that he had sold his possessions and asked me to gather more gold and silver curios, and give them to my uncle with me, and I was worried about this matter. Yang Zhun sighed after speaking.
"Then it's better to sell your property." Lu Yunzhi deliberately pretended not to look at Yang Zhun and said, he deliberately wanted to tease Yang Zhun. Sure enough, Yang Zhun looked at Lu Yunzhi with his mouth wide open, then took off his black gauze hat, took off his court clothes and walked around the house in a circle, muttering in his mouth: "Then what should I do with my family, even if I sell my family property, I can make up less than a thousand taels of gold, and my uncle's side is enough, but my family will starve to death." When I return from his mission, my house will surely be hungry and cold. It's not appropriate, it's really inappropriate. ”
Lu Yunzhi couldn't hold back anymore and laughed, pointed at Yang Zhun and said: "You, just remember that I asked you to do what your uncle said in his letter, but forget the letter I asked you to send to King Wu, what do you think I want a thousand taels of gold for, it's not for this matter, it's up to you to be in a hurry." Yang Zhun immediately shouted with a light in his eyes: "Brother Xian is really clever, it turns out that he has already taken a good step, but when will those silver taels arrive, and how can we escort these silver taels." ”
"I have my own arrangements, Brother Yang doesn't have to worry about it." Lu Yunzhi replied lightly, "The silver will arrive in two hours, I'll go back to the room first, I have something to calculate." After speaking, Lu Yunzhi stood up and walked quickly towards his room, he wanted to wait for a person to come to Nanjing, and then the matter of escort would not have to be solved, but the outfit of that group of people was too special, and he had to think carefully about how to let them hide in the envoy's team.
Two hours later, Lu Yunzhi called Ah Rong, Ah Rong helped Lu Yunzhi a lot, Lu Yunzhi is no longer a subordinate of the Yang Mansion, but he still has nothing to do with Ah Rong, thinking in his heart that Ah Rong helped him at that time, if there was no Ah Rong's own plan, it would not be so smooth. Lu Yunzhi talked to Ah Rong, and asked Ah Rong to go to the north of the city to pick up a group of people on his behalf, and said that this group of people was very recognizable in their robes and hats, and they would definitely pass through Nanjing within three days. As soon as Ah Rong left, he heard Yang Zhun shouting and running to the door of his room, slamming the door and shouting: "Brother Xian, come out quickly." ”
Lu Yunzhi opened the door and frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?" Yang Zhunran's face was red, and he replied breathlessly: "It's here, King Wu's gold is here." "Then what are you doing in such a fuss?" Lu Yunzhi couldn't laugh or cry at this Yang Zhun.
"It's not a thousand taels of gold, it's enough for ten thousand taels. There are also several boxes of antique treasures in the box, this King Wu is really rich. Yang Zhun said casually, and there was a bit of drooling. Lu Yunzhi was also surprised, one of which was that he felt that King Wu had taken out a thousand taels of gold, but it would be a little difficult for King Wu to give all the jewels of ten thousand taels to himself. The second is that he didn't even calculate such changes, it seems that although Zhu Jianwen was busy operating the power of officialdom, he did not delay his cultivation, and his fate qi was already within three times of himself, so he did not calculate it.
Lu Yunzhi followed Yang Zhun to the courtyard quickly, but saw a vote of people guarding the box, although the people in Yang Zhun were ordered by Yang Zhun not to be allowed to watch, but they still showed their eyes from the window to look at these gold and silver treasures that they had never seen in their lives.
Some of the people guarding the box looked like King Wu's own soldiers, but some of them looked like merchants, and they were followed by a group of people in the rivers and lakes like dart masters. Lu Yun stepped forward and greeted everyone with a bow of his hand, and then a merchant dressed plainly but with shrewdness in his eyes stepped forward and asked, "What's the use of keeping a penny?" Lu Yun was stunned and then understood the reason and replied: "A penny can make a comeback." "What do you do with a hundred taels?" The man asked again. Lu Yunzhi continued to reply: "One hundred taels of people's ambitions. It turns out that you are my second brother's people. The man nodded, bent his body and saluted, saying: "I am the shopkeeper of the seventy-four shops in Jiujiang Mansion, and I have saluted the third master, it seems that the prince of Wu really did not lie to us." ”
It turned out that these jewelry, gold and silver were collected by Fang Qingze's shop, but Lu Yunzhi didn't expect that Fang Qingze already had seventy-four stores in Jiujiang. After Fang Qingze returned to Timur, he sent several notices to his own shops across the country through Diao Shanshe, the first is that if someone reports that he is Qu Xiangtian or Lu Yunzhi, and there is an incision of allusions, then everything is subject to their arrangement. The second is that once you get the news of these two people, you must quickly report it to Timur, the situation is true, the shopkeeper has a heavy reward, as for what the heavy reward is, Fang Qingze did not say, but encouraged these shopkeepers to continue to speculate, so he tried his best to search for Lu Yunzhi and others. Therefore, after Zhu Jianwen saw the letter, he learned that Lu Yunzhi wanted money, so he found Fang Qingze's business according to the method he learned in the tea shop before, and he didn't expect to let the shop add 10,000 taels of gold to go with the escort soldiers.
Lu Yunzhi also has an excellent memory, when he fled that day, he heard Fang Qingze talk about the origin of the allusion, and also listened to him and the refreshment Xiao Er have made this set of incisions, so that the answer can be fluent.
A man in a general's uniform stepped forward and said, "Mr. Lu, my family said that if there is any need, just go to Jiujiang to write a letter, and King Wu Fandi will not give up since he was in the saddle, and we will return it first and hurry back, and we will leave." After saying that, he hugged his fists and saluted and was about to leave, Yang Zhun said with a flattering face from behind: "Don't stop, hey, you see it's true, and I'm afraid of causing trouble to us and even refusing to rest for a night, but then we can't enter the friendship of the landlord, it's really rude." ”
The merchant also gave Lu Yun a fist: "Third master, we also retired first, the business is busy for a day, I am afraid of accidents, go back as soon as possible and be busy as soon as possible, the way to recognize the store Our master told you before, you just go in all the same kind of shops, and the shopkeeper in the store should obey your dispatch." He bowed deeply and left.
Yang Zhun was speechless and said: "Brother Xian, what kind of people are these, spending a lot of money, no, spending money like dirt." Lu Yunzhi smiled and looked at the money and muttered: "My second brother will soon know my news, so it saves him from worrying, but where did I use so much gold and silver." After speaking, he looked at Yang Zhun who was looking at him pitifully.
Lu Yunzhi thought for a while and said to Yang Zhun: "Brother Yang, brother is troublesome for you. "Well said, well said." Yang Zhun replied, but his eyes did not leave the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and he couldn't wait to use his gaze to penetrate the boxes and sweep the contents inside. Lu Yunzhi smiled bitterly, these Ah Du's things were like dung to himself, but he couldn't throw away these gold and silver at will, so he said to Yang Zhun: "Brother Yang, pick out a box for me to meet your uncle, and the rest should be given to Brother Yang's gift money, my old lady didn't give anything for her birthday, don't think I'm late for this gift." ”
Yang Zhun was about to grin to the back of his head when he heard the smile, and hurriedly said, "It's not too late, it's not too late, then I'll be respectful and obey my fate." After speaking, he hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to move it into the warehouse for safekeeping.
