Chapter 36: Slaughtering Kaohsiung
Returning to the guest room in a daze, King Shin locked himself in the room, sleeping without getting drunk, and thinking about his next plan; Until noon, he arranged for Long Yi to go out and buy some gifts, followed him out of the inn, and rode his horse to the General's Mansion.
Coming to the door of the General's Mansion, Long Yi stepped forward to hand gifts and stickers to the concierge; Leaning slightly, the door was wide open, Lu Xiangsheng smiled and went out to greet him, and arched his hand: "Haha!" Zhu Gongzi is here to the general, welcome, please! ”
"The general is gracious, please!" King Xin returned the salute, and the two walked into the general's mansion hand in hand.
Entering the living room, Lu Xiangsheng stepped back left and right, and saluted King Xin again: "Meet Your Highness!"
King Xin raised his hand and signaled: "There are no outsiders here, and the general does not need to be polite!"
Lu Xiangsheng's heart warmed when he heard this, and he bowed down and said, "Your Highness!" Then he turned and sat down.
Subsequently, Lu Xiangsheng once again reported in detail to King Xin about the situation last night, as well as the amount of strategic materials seized, as well as 500,000 transaction proceeds.
King Xin laughed when he heard this, and said: "Now that the materials and funds are available, you must seize the time to prepare for the construction of the Pingyao Village Arsenal, and arrange for a trustworthy person to be in charge of the Pingyao Village Arsenal.
Lu Xiangsheng was in awe, nodded and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the Tianxiong Army is of one heart and one mind, and swear to follow Your Highness to the death!"
"It is loyal to the country and the emperor!" King Shin corrected.
"Loyalty to His Highness is the same as loyalty to the emperor and the country!" Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile!
King Xin shook his head and sighed, this is the secret of the Ming Dynasty is not a secret, the emperor once personally said that the Ming Dynasty is owned by the two brothers, if the emperor has an accident, pass on the throne to the king!
took out the 500,000 taels of silver tickets given by Kaohsiung from his arms, handed it to Lu Xiangsheng and said with a smile: "The 500,000 here, plus the 500,000 captured before, is enough for you to use for the construction of the arsenal!"
Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed and polite, took the silver ticket and said with a smile: "Hehe! I don't panic when I have the money in my hand, and now everything is ready, and I only owe the east wind! ”
King Xin smiled and said: "Dongfeng has borrowed it for you, how to borrow it, you think about it yourself!" He immediately handed over the note given to him by Kaohsiung to Lu Xiangsheng.
"Huh?" Lu Xiangsheng surprise! Unfolded to take a look, he couldn't help but condense: "What does Your Highness mean?"
"Send this note and the secret documents of the seizure of smuggling prohibited materials to Wei Zhongxian in Dongchang, and no one will hinder you in Datong Mansion in the future, I believe that Wei Zhongxian will not lose you!" Shin Wang smiled.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly got up and knelt on one knee, and said solemnly: "Xiangsheng swears to follow His Highness to the death, and there will be no two hearts, if you violate some oaths, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"
"Get up!" King Xin's heart moved, he was deeply infected, and he picked up Lu Xiangsheng and said earnestly: "This king is not tempting you!"
Lu Xiangsheng had tears in his eyes, and looked blankly at the young and old King of Faith in front of him, at a loss!
Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was puzzled, King Xin patted him on the shoulder, and said in a harmonious voice: "This time, I will go out of Beijing in micro-service, and I will definitely not be able to hide Wei Zhongxian, who is in power and opposition. My whereabouts Jinyiwei is well known, how can I hide what I am doing in Datong Mansion from Jinyiwei? Therefore, I paid a visit to the General's Mansion, and Jinyiwei will definitely report Wei Zhongxian truthfully. ”
"Therefore, you reported this case privately to Wei Zhongxian, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone! First, use the internal power of Jinyiwei to fight against the Jinyiwei of Datong Mansion to suppress the high potential forces, and you can take the opportunity to control the mine resources of Datong Mansion! ”
"Second, to win the trust of Wei Zhongxian, from now on, no one dares to restrain the general's mansion in Jinyi Wei Town, which is conducive to consolidating the unity and stability of the military and government in Datong Town, and defending the nine sides!"
"Third, although Wei Zhongxian is in power, but the military does not have a one-sided force, he will definitely do his best to win you over, you can use this to break into the Jinyiwei and develop and expand your strength, Wei Zhongxian is not greedy for money, let alone colorless, only greedy for power, you are going to him at this time, it is the right time!"
After King Xin finished speaking, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly realized, his mouth suddenly opened, and his reverence for King Xin deepened a little in his heart, and he gladly accepted King Xin's opinion.
"Report the secret documents to Wei Zhongxian, you have to report them truthfully, including the fact that I gave you 500,000 taels of silver tickets on behalf of Kaohsiung to get people, and state my purpose to seek wealth!" The king of letters commanded.
Lu Xiangsheng nodded solemnly, and kept it in mind one by one, if it is really as King Xin said, Wei Zhongxian tried his best to win himself over, and he would be the biggest 'undercover' trump card of Dongchang Jinyiwei in the future, and even decide the future direction of the court;
"Your Highness, what should we do with those criminals?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.
King Xin said with a smile: "Since Kaohsiung wants to fish Duan Hai, he will follow his wishes for the time being, and release Duan Hai tomorrow, and leave it to Dongchang Jinyiwei to enforce the family law in the future!" The others just need to be detained in the barracks, strictly guarded, and wait for Wei Zhongxian to deal with it personally! ”
In the evening, in the exquisite courtyard of the Xikelai Inn, he slept groggily for nearly a day, and Kaohsiung had already sobered up, and at this moment the innkeeper Gao Fu was reporting!
Kaohsiung gently put down the teacup in his hand, supported his forehead, and asked, "Is this true?" ”
"My subordinates saw it with their own eyes, Lu Xiangsheng of the General's Mansion personally greeted him at the door of the mansion, and his attitude was very polite, so Zhu Gongzi has not come out yet!" The shopkeeper reported according to the truth.
Gao Xiong's heart is determined, it seems that this Zhu Gongzi was really guessed by himself, and there is really a big background, there is a door to this matter!
While thinking about Kaohsiung, King Xin's hearty laughter came from outside the courtyard gate: "Haha, has Brother Gao woken up?" ”
Kaohsiung was overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly got up, came to the door in a daze, and said with a smile: "Oops! Brother Zhu is really massive! Brother, I'm a leader today, haha..."
"Haha, brother Gao is too modest, brother, I can't drink too much, shame on me!" King Shin laughed.
"Where, where! Bro inside please! Kaohsiung greeted and shouted: "Gao Fu, hurry up and serve tea!" ”
The two entered the house and sat down, praised each other, and believed that the king had returned to the legend: "Brother Gao! I missed something big today! ”
"Oh!" Gao Xiong was shocked!
"Alas! When I sobered up, I found the note left by my brother, brother, I suddenly realized, I didn't have time to eat lunch, and hurriedly arranged for my entourage to sell some gifts nearby, blaming me for being greedy and misleading! ”
"What do you mean by that?" Kaohsiung asked nervously.
King Xin looked at Gao Fu, the shopkeeper who served next to him, and stopped talking; Kaohsiung suddenly understood, his face pale, and he waved his hand to signal Gao Fu to leave.
Seeing Gao Fu leaving, King Xin lowered his voice and said, "Brother Gao! You're not righteous! ”
"Brother! Where does this come from? Kaohsiung asked puzzled.
King Xin looked at the courtyard gate and whispered, "The things committed by the senior brother and friend have pierced the sky!" ”
When Brother Gao heard this, he sneered in his heart! If it weren't for the fact that he broke the sky, could this young master find you? But he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Won't it?" Isn't it just a little bit of forbidden materials? It's not that serious! ”
"Brother Gao's words are wrong! Don't you know who your friend is trading with? ”
Kaohsiung shook his head!
King Xin leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "That section of the sea and the barbarian military transaction outside the Guanwai belongs to the crime of treason against the enemy!" ”
"Ahh Kaohsiung was suddenly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, he didn't know who the other party was, he only knew that the other party was a businessman outside the Guan, and he was engaged in smuggling like himself, if he knew that the other party was a secret agent of the military outside the Guan, give him a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to trade with it!
"That's, brother, me! What should my friend do? Kaohsiung's six gods have no master, and asked in a trembling voice.
"Alas! Brother, I have a lot of good things to say, and finally carried my brother out, and the general's mansion gave my brother a lot of face, and there is still hope for this matter! King Xin whispered.
"Oh! The brother is really powerful, the mana is boundless, and the bull is angry! Kaohsiung was incoherent, excited and didn't know what to say, and asked in a low voice: "What does the brother mean by 'there is hope'?" ”
King Xin looked at Kaohsiung, gave him a dark look, stretched out his finger and gestured!
Kaohsiung understood, and immediately smiled: "Oops! Brother frightened brother, what should I do, here in brother,
If 'this' can settle things, then it's not a problem! Kaohsiung also gestured with his hand and smiled meaningfully.
"Brother Gao, you also know that if you don't do well in this matter, you will lose your head, so over there..." King Shin looked at Kaohsiung and rubbed his hands.
Kaohsiung understood, he understood too well, so he smiled and asked, "One million?" ”
The king is silent!
"One and a half million?".
King Xin is still silent!
The corners of Kaohsiung's mouth grinned, and he asked painfully: "Two million?" ”
King Xin shook his head and sighed, "Brother Gao! I can't help this brother, brother Gao, please be smart! With that, he stood up and was about to leave.
Kaohsiung was in a hurry, and hurriedly hugged him and said, "Brother slow down!" ”
"Alas! Brother Gao, I can't hide it, brother, I'm really 'the new daughter-in-law on the stove'! King Shin sighed.
"Brother, what do you say?" Kaohsiung is a bit of a cloud.
"Alas! Shame on my mother's family! King Xin glanced at Kaohsiung, and said weakly: "In the name of my brother, I barely managed to keep this matter, alas! ”
When Kaohsiung heard this, his heart was dripping blood! But after thinking about it, I comforted myself and said: Isn't it? A major event that pierces the sky, a felony that is full of beheadings, is not a fateful friendship, who is willing to take such a risk? I don't know how many joints need to be opened, can it be a mere two million taels of silver?
So, Kaohsiung gritted his teeth and asked in his heart: "Brother, just say it bluntly, how much do you need over there?" ”
King Xin shook his head helplessly and said: "Senior brother, I can't hide it, I said it over there, this matter needs to be sealed!" Let me tell you this, there are so many soldiers at the scene of the arrest, this matter has already spread all over the barracks, if you want to hide people's eyes and ears and fish out Duan Hai, you need to seal the mouth of Youyou, the 'Tianxiong Army' 50,000 people, 100 taels per person, Brother Gao, how much do you count? ”
When Kaohsiung heard this, he was immediately stupid! 'Poof' sat in the chair, his face was pale, and his hands trembled!
